On the official road leading to Daning in Kuizhou Prefecture City, a strange scene was staged. More than 100,000 rebels were chased by more than 10,000 white-rod soldiers and fled in a panic, in chaos. No matter how Gao Yingxiang and other rebel leaders could not shout.

The soldiers of the rebel army were really scared. These white-rod soldiers were simply terrible. The Guanning Iron Cavalry was not as fierce as these guys!

They just hated that their parents had less legs, and they just wanted to quickly get rid of the death-seeking ghosts behind them. When they came, they squeezed together and slowly walked less than twenty miles. When they ran away, they pushed the people away and ran away. The twenty miles were within an hour.

The problem is that the white pole soldier is still chasing him!

These guys are simply killing without blinking. Even if they are tired, they have to run away!

So, more than 100,000 defeated rebels passed through the city and fled towards Yunyang Prefecture.

At this moment, the rebels guarding the city were also frightened and ran away without thinking.

The Bai Gan soldier regained the Daning County without any effort. Ma Qiancheng thought about it and ordered the pursuit to stop and stationed in the Daning County.

If you chase after you again, you will have to chase out of Kuizhou and Yunyang Prefecture.

There is a saying that blessings are unparalleled and misfortunes never come in singularly.

Gao Yingxiang's attack on Bashu was blocked and was beaten by Ma Qiancheng, the Sichuan Army's white-rod soldiers. He had just led the defeated army back to Fang County, Yunyang, Lu Xiangsheng, Zuo Liangyu and others led the officers and soldiers to kill from Huguang.

How could he be Lu Xiangsheng's opponent? The title of King Lu alone could scare most of the leaders of the rebel army tremble.

After several battles, Gao Yingxiang was beaten to the point of being beaten again, and the 36th Battalion was also beaten to fall apart, split into two, fleeing along Daba Mountain to Huguang, and along the Qinling Mountains to southern Shaanxi. Both groups seemed to have disappeared and no trace was found.

The biggest rebels in the 36th Battalion seemed to have been wiped out like this!

When Zhu Qizhua received the news, he quickly ordered Li Wanxiong, Liu Zhonghe and others to lead their men to withdraw from Nanyang from Xixia, and go north and disappear into the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains.

At this moment, Henan and Huguang seemed to have no bandits, and the Anshe Rebellion that had been raging Sichuan and Guizhou for many years was also pacified by Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces. The entire southwest seemed to have returned to its former tranquility and no war was made.

The various rebels in Shaanxi and Shanxi were also suppressed by Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao and others and fled everywhere. They were in panic all day long. The civil strife in the Ming Dynasty seemed to be about to end, and the world seemed to be returning to peace.

Zhu Qizhuo naturally knew that all this was only temporary.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are the best at playing this trick. When the officers and soldiers are in great power, they will hide in the mountains and wait for an opportunity to move. Once the court relaxes, they will jump out again, gather people and continue to cause trouble.

The court did not fundamentally solve the problem, and placed the victims in place so that everyone could have food to eat, so they would not stop.

At this time, you must not relax.

While he led Wang Zheng to continue to develop steam looms, he asked Bi Maokang to develop cannons and artillery adjustment devices, and at the same time ordered Song Yingxing to return to the Longhe Shipyard to continue to supervise the construction of a large ship of 1,000 and 2,000 materials, and continue to accumulate strength to cope with the upcoming crisis.

He was secretly accumulating strength, but someone in the court began to undermine the situation.

On that day, he was discussing the size of the new cannon with Bi Maokang. Ning Choudan suddenly came over with an envelope and whispered: "Prince, a secret letter from the capital."

Zhu Qizhu took the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and looked at it, and he was immediately furious.

This secret letter was written by Wang Yingxiong, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. The letter asked him to be careful. The Zhejiang Party was targeting the interests of the southwest and was secretly preparing to get Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces. Shi Zhuxuan comforted Ma Qiancheng, who was likely to be implicated.

Wang Yingxiong didn't know what Zhu Qizhu had to do with Ma Qiancheng. He only knew that every time he went to invite him, Ma Qiancheng's son Ma Xianglin. Moreover, the place where he met Zhu Qizhu twice was the headquarters of the Shizhu Xuanwei envoy. It was obvious that Zhu Qizhu Xuanwei envoy, the Tang King, must have a close relationship with Ma Qiancheng.

Therefore, when the Zhejiang Party showed signs of mahjong, he immediately wrote a sealed letter and handed it to the person who arranged the connection in the capital.

This is equivalent to betting on both ends.

The Ming Dynasty was already full of holes, and Chongzhen seemed to be unable to turn the world around, so he could see this very clearly.

And the Crazy King Zhu Qi is completely unscrupulous, can it not be considered this?

He believed that the Crazy King Zhu Qizhe should be secretly preparing to replace the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a deep relationship with Shizhu Tusima Qiancheng.

This is also an opportunity to continue the Ming Dynasty, so he secretly informed Zhu Qizhai while making friends with Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru.

I have to say, this guy is really smart!

So, how is the Zhejiang Party preparing to form Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces?

This is simple. What the Zhejiang Party is best at is making trouble for nothing and taking the opportunity to gain profits.

Didn’t Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces, quelled the Anshe Rebellion? It’s great, so take advantage of the situation to transform the entire southwest into land and return it to the current!

The so-called transformation of land and flow means abolishing the chieftain system in the southwest and changing the rebels appointed by the court to directly manage local military and political affairs.

It should be said that the strategy of changing the land and returning to the flow is not wrong in itself. After all, changing the land and returning to the flow is conducive to eliminating the backwardness of the chieftain system and at the same time strengthening the imperial court's rule over the southwest region.

However, at this time, it is a matter of no need to make trouble, and it has ulterior motives.

You should know that during the Wanli Dynasty, because the court wanted to change its territory and return to the current, Yang Yinglong, the chieftain of Bozhou, led the rebellion. The Ming Dynasty gathered 240,000 troops from eight provinces including Sichuan, Guizhou, and Huguang, and spent millions of taels of food and wages to finally quell the Bozhou rebellion.

At this time, does the Ming Dynasty still have the strength to quell such a great rebellion?

If Shizhu chieftain Sima Qiancheng leads the rebellion, how can we deal with it?

Not to mention, the Zhejiang Party wanted to force Ma Qiancheng to lead the rebellion, because Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces, praised Ma Qiancheng strongly when he was remonstrating his merits, saying that his surprise attack on Anbangyan's old nest, and his support for An's position as the Xuanwei Envoy of Guizhou was the key to quelling the Anshe Rebellion. His outstanding achievements should be praised.

It is obvious that Zhu Xieyuan understood the situation in the southwest quite well and knew that Ma Qiancheng had become the largest chieftain in the southwest. Moreover, Ma Qiancheng obeyed the orders of the court every time. Whether it was sending troops to support Liaodong, sending troops to quell the Anshe Rebellion, or even sending troops to resist the rebels' attack on Sichuan, no one was as slanderous as other chieftains and perfunctorily doing things.

People send troops every time, and they always work hard for the court.

For example, when troops were sent to support Liaodong, they fought against the Jiannu Eight Banners Army in Hunhe, and five thousand elite soldiers were killed or injured.

You should know that at that time, nearly 100,000 Liaodong Army were about to collapse. As the chieftain who led the army to support, what else can he say to do this?

For example, when the Anshe Rebellion was pacified, the people sent troops to Shuixi regardless of danger, and took Shuixi in one fell swoop, supporting Anbangyan's enemy to settle in his throne and become the Guizhou Xuanwei envoy.

You know, the court had a governor and a governor of five provinces in Shuixi. In such a dangerous place, people sent troops to fight, so what else can I say?

Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan wanted to use the praise from the court to appease Ma Qiancheng, the largest chieftain in the southwest, so that he could continue to serve the court, suppress all chieftains in the southwest, and strive to ensure stability in the southwest.

The Zhejiang Party’s strategy is to arrest Shizhu’s chieftain Ma Qiancheng to start the operation and sing a stage drama with Zhu Xieyuan. Zhu Xieyuan was so angry that he was like Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong that he was like the original Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong, so he quit!

Soon, Guizhou Inspector Liu Zongxiang reported impeachment, saying that Zhu Xieyuan accepted bribes from the Shuixi chieftains, hindered the transformation of the land and allowed the Shuixi chieftains to continue to grow, which became a hidden danger to the court!

Immediately afterwards, Sichuan Inspector Ma Rujiao reported another impeachment, saying that Zhu Xieyuan accepted bribes from Shizhu chieftain Ma Qiancheng and allowed him to occupy Chongqing Prefecture and Kuizhou Prefecture as the local emperor!

Needless to ask, Liu Zongxiang and Ma Rujiao must be members of the Zhejiang Party. Their purpose of attacking Zhu Xieyuan was to seize the fruits of victory and seize the interests of the southwest.

Chongzhen didn't know the twists and turns here. When he heard that Shizhu chieftain Sima Qiancheng actually occupied the two prefectures of Chongqing and Kuizhou, he was immediately angry and immediately issued an order to remove Ma Qiancheng from Sichuan General Officer and ordered him to immediately withdraw from Chongqing and Kuizhou.

Is this guy's brain watered?
