Chapter 105 Renjun

Huang Bingzhong was shocked. If something big happened in Lin'an, Hangzhou would definitely be affected. In addition to Hangzhou, there are also various prefectures and counties with severe food shortages. Once the trouble broke out in various places at the same time, the whole Zhejiang would be in chaos.

"Where is the green camp? Isn't there a green camp stationed in Lin'an?"

"Sir, have you ordered the transfer of Lin'an's green camp to Deqing some time ago?" Wei Zhiqiu reminded with a wry smile.

As soon as he touched his forehead, Huang Bingzhong suddenly remembered this incident. Wei Zhiqiu was right. It was the Lin'an Green Camp he ordered to be transferred six days ago. Because Deqing received a report of instability, Huang Bingzhong made this transfer for the sake of ​​all.

Who would have thought that Deqing had not started to make trouble now, and Lin'an was in chaos first. Huang Bingzhong felt very regretful at this time. He really shouldn't have transferred Lin'an's green camp in advance, but he didn't think that if he didn't transfer Lin'an's green camp, Deqing might be the same as Lin'an now.

"Hurry! Let Deqing's green camp return to Lin'an immediately and calm the chaos as soon as possible!" Huang Bingzhong was extremely anxious. At this time, he no longer considered Deqing at all. Lin'an's judgment was to calm down first. But who thought that before he could formally issue an order, another bad news came.

This news terrified Huang Bingzhong more than the Lin'an rebellion. The elite Fujian navy commander Shi Shipiao was wiped out under Ningbo City, and even the admiral Shi Shipiao was killed in battle. When the news came, the pen in Huang Bingzhong's hand fell to the ground, and his whole person became dark and fainted on the spot.

The governor fell down. This was a big deal. The officials present, who were following him, suddenly became in chaos. They shouted and rushed forward. They hurriedly carried Huang Bingzhong into the backyard to find a doctor for treatment. After struggling for a few hours, Huang Bingzhong, who was unconscious, was finally rescued, but at this time, his eyes were slanted, his mouth was crooked, and his whole body became even more paralyzed. He lay on the bed and couldn't even speak clearly. Only two lines of old tears couldn't help but drip down the corners of his eyes.

Huang Bing had a stroke and could not be the director, so he could only be appointed by the governor He Xianzu. However, He Xianzu took office after the Hangzhou War and took office for less than half a year. Although he had a lot of experience as an official, he was not a person who did practical things. He Xianzu, who was temporarily acting as a governor, could not come up with any good solutions, and could only hand it to the capital one after another, and at the same time, he kept asking for help from the eldest prince and the Fujian-Zhe Governor's Office far away in Fuzhou.

"A bunch of waste!" In the study room, Kangxi became angry after reading the memorial, smashing Yu Ruyi, whom he loved most in his daily life, so scared that the eunuch who served beside him didn't even dare to breathe.

These days, this Emperor Long Live's temper has become worse and worse. Emperor Kangxi, who has always claimed to be a benevolent country, dealt with two eunuchs of grade in just three days. One of them was dragged down and beaten to death. Although the other one was still angry, he was not far from the Hall of Hell.

This situation was unprecedented in the decades when Kangxi was in power. The furious Kangxi seemed to have changed his personal life, which made the eunuchs around him frightened. In fact, not only eunuchs, but also ministers in the court did not have a good life. Just a few days ago, Ma Qi, Tong Guowei, Zhang Yushu, Wen Da and others were severely scolded by Kangxi, and Ma Qi was even dismissed from the part-time job of the Minister of Revenue.

Kangxi only felt that the blood vessels beating hard at the temples, and his head was even more thrusting and painful. He took a deep breath and barely calmed himself down. He looked down and saw the broken Yu Ruyi, who was broken into three pieces, and felt a little regretful.

"Come! Don't you clean it yet?"

Constraining the anger in his heart, Kangxi shouted, and the eunuchs rushed forward to clean up. After a while, the messy study room returned to its original state. Kangxi sat down again and continued to pick up the note and looked through it. After a few glances, he snorted angrily and threw the note in his hand out.

"It's all waste!" Kangxi gritted his teeth and cursed. All he got was bad news these days, and all this bad news came from Jiangnan.

First, the eldest prince was not able to encircle and suppress the rebels until now, and the second was that the food shortage in Jiangnan increased the instability among the people. Then, something big happened in Ningbo, and a group of rebels of unknown origin actually occupied Ningbo City... At this time, news about the defeat of the Fujian Navy had not yet come. If we knew that Shi Shipiao and the elite Fujian Navy were thrown under Ningbo City, Kangxi's anger would be even more unimaginable.

Kangxi, who had been in power for nearly fifty years, never felt powerless as he is now. Even though he was extremely dangerous when the Three Feudalists were pacified, Kangxi was still confident. Now, the entire Qing Dynasty is powerful, and he thought that the civil thieves would be quelled as soon as the army arrived. However, several months have passed since he left the eldest prince to go to Jiangnan. The situation in Jiangnan has not improved, but has become worse and worse.

Kangxi was not a mediocre emperor. He was able to rank among the top three in Chinese history. Even in the Qing Dynasty, he was called the "famous lord of the Holy Ancestor" and Kangxi was very capable and talented. Although he is a little old and his spirit and enterprising are no longer as good as when he was young, his vision and judgment are still there.

In fact, Kangxi knew very well that he knew the skills of the eldest prince better. Although his eldest son was not a suitable heir, from a military perspective, he was the best among all his sons. With the ability of the eldest prince, it should not be a problem to lead troops to encircle and suppress rebels in Jiangnan, but now it is difficult, and the ultimate reason lies in money and food.

When it comes to money and grain, Kangxi felt an unknown fire in his heart. The empty treasury caused him to vigorously promote many things. For the sake of the situation in Jiangnan, he asked Ma Qi and others to recover the treasury owed the silver. It was finally difficult to raise a sum of silver to send it to Jiangnan. But how long has it been passed in a blink of an eye? The treasury was empty again. When Kangxi thought of this, he hated him. This was also the main reason why Ma Qi was dismissed from the position of Minister of Revenue.

But Kangxi also understood in his heart that although Ma Qi was the chief grandson and minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he had no good idea about the current situation of treasury loans. Not only ordinary officials were borrowing money from the treasury, but also royal relatives, and even his sons extended their hands to the treasury.

For this matter, Kangxi even asked the prince to come forward to pursue the owed silver, but the prince was good. If he didn't handle the difference well, he would fool himself in the face. After a few days of taking over the Ministry of Revenue, he actually came to Kangxi and told the officials who owed silver that the owed silver were not easy, hoping that the court would be more gratified. Isn't this prince aware that the world is his? He actually said such a bastard, as the prince, he actually wanted to win over the hearts of the people and be a good person, which made Kangxi so disappointed.
