The subsequent development of the Ming Dynasty made all forces confused...

Emperor Wanli issued an order in Nanchang to respond to the heavens, claiming that Wang Xijue and others had already hijacked him, and he had already stopped the cliff and blamed him. He also regained power with the support of the royal army such as Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, so there were no more rebellious parties in Guangzhou.

Now he is the commander-in-chief.

Moreover, King Lu had also stopped his horse, submitted a letter to apologize and received punishment, while his followers were punished.

Therefore, the Lu King Rebellion has been actually pacified.

The Jing camp that had been mutiny before Yingtian had also been pardoned, so the Ming Dynasty finally had a clear and peaceful sea, and the Red Turban Army also had no need to continue attacking.

He formally issued an order to Princess Yingtian Regent and Yang Xiangguo, who was in charge of the government, that the Red Turban Army stopped attacking Xiaogushan and Susong Fortress, and the Dingsheng Army of the former Hongguang Dynasty and the militias of various places also stopped attacking Macheng and Wuchang. All armies ceased fire on the current control line, waiting for the next step of the court to deal with it. During the ceasefire, no side shall continue to attack the other side, otherwise they will be treated as rebellious.

As for the Datong Kingdom and the Dajin Kingdom in the north, this is a blatant rebellion, so naturally it will fight as much as it should.

This is absolutely untolerated, especially in Datong, which is simply crazy.

The republic in Zhoushan was actually kidnapped by the rebels at that time. The navy bombarded Zhoushan to rescue His Majesty. It was not about killing the king and plotting against him. It was all out of loyalty, but the methods were just a bit irrational.

The original intention is good.

Later, the emperor was robbed, and the soldiers and civilians of Zhoushan did not understand for a moment and felt that they were abandoned by the emperor, so they were just confused for a while.

This is completely different from the nature of Datong Country.

Besides, since they regard the King of Liaodong as the Duke of Protecting the Kingdom, it is equivalent to the vassal of the Ming Dynasty. Let's continue to retain it. The left and right are just a small place. My Ming Dynasty has a vast country and I don't care about this place. In the future, just give the emperor a tribute according to the standards of the vassal states.

Anyway, it was often occupied by pirates, and it only took decades to recover it.

In this way, His Majesty the Emperor made clear certainty about the situation of the Ming Dynasty with the imperial edict. The Ming Dynasty had roughly achieved unification of the country, but it was divided into three areas, one was the emperor's directly under the emperor's area, one was the current princess regent, but it was about to be changed to the prince's governor's area, and the other was the empress dowager's governor's area, but no matter which area was named Wanli, it was the emperor's country. Northern vassal states such as Li Chengliang were granted by the emperor before, so of course they would not change. They continued to exist as border vassal states in the Ming Dynasty and were directly controlled by the empress dowager. The alliance of the five northern provinces was of course directly under the emperor, while the southern Zhili, Zhejiang, and Wuchang were controlled by the prince's governor's country.

Two clear rebellious areas.

The pseudo-rule of Datong State in Shaanxi and the pseudo-rule of Jin in Taiyuan.

A republic that is a rebellion but is now pardoned by the emperor and can exist as a vassal.

This will be very clear

The enemy is clear.

Since the emperor's direct area and the prince's supervisory area are both emperor's throne, there is definitely no civil war. So no matter what before, all parties must cease to fight now.

Then……

Yang Xiangguo announced that he had complied with the order.

No more fights.

armistice.

He accepted the emperor's imperial edict.

Everyone was confused?

He actually obeyed the order? Isn't he a traitor? How could he obey the order? Why did he obey the order? This is completely inconsistent with the professional ethics of a traitor! If you obey the order, how can we say you are a traitor? Do you deserve everyone's expectations? Isn't Hongguang surrender just to see you fight with the emperor?

Nanchang.

Tengwang Pavilion.

"What the hell does he want to do?"

Zou Yuanbiao, who had been pardoned but was imprisoned for life, said in confusion.

His punishment is nothing. In the years since he was the chief minister of the Hongguang Dynasty, he has long been recognized as the gentry of Huguang and Jiangxi.

It’s useless to imprison for life.

He simply returned to Jishui and continued to preside over Renwen Academy.

During his tenure as the chief minister, this academy developed into a top institution of the same level as Bailu Cave Academy and Yuelu Cave Academy. In addition to Shigu Academy and Fengshan Academy in Puqi, these five academies were originally the uncrowned kings of the Hongguang Dynasty. The mountain director of the academy was even more powerful than the six ministers of the Shangshu, especially Bailu Cave Academy. The mountain chief Shu Yuejing was almost at the same level as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

Those were more than five thousand young scholars influenced by his thoughts.

Behind each is the local gentry family.

Although Renwen Academy is slightly smaller in scale, it now has more than 4,000 students. The mountain chief even kept vacancies for Zou Yuanbiao. Before, he was the mountain chief there.

He just went back after he was imprisoned.

He is also the soul of gentry in Huguang and Jiangxi provinces.

"I'm not worried about him. After all, the current situation is not good for him. The imperial army has already encircled him. What's more, the previous battle has proved that if there is a decisive battle, he may not be a sure win. He relies on nothing more than to force troublemakers, but to force troublemakers, as long as he is to guard against such means, it's enough. Last time, it was simply because Yang He was too greedy for money, and the Huang family was too stingy, so he wouldn't be like this if he was more sensible.

After all, the unruly people are a minority, and most of them are honest good people. As long as they have food and clothing, who will follow him to risk his life?

Wuchang Prefecture City is also the veterans, so there are not many new recruits who rebel.

During these days, gentry from all over the country have made them more sensible, either they just need less land rent, pay more wages, and then local officials have set up more porridge factories.

We don’t lack food!

Let’s get through this level first. As long as the world does not change color, we will be the ones after all.

Compared to Yang Feng, I am more worried about our Majesty.”

Zhou Zhiji said.

He was the last Zhou family in Xiangtan. This family can only be said to have risen in the Ming Dynasty, and it is mainly because his generation began to rise. His brother Zhou Zhiping was a former governor and is now in retirement. The other brothers, Zhiguang, Zhilong are all senior officials of the Hongguang Dynasty. However, they are not the most brilliant family. The most brilliant time was in the Qing Dynasty, and Zuo Zongtang's wife belonged to his family.

"Your Majesty? How about your Majesty?"

Geng Dingli said.

He was not imprisoned, and was also named the deputy commander of the emperor, probably because of his relationship with Li Zhi.

In addition to the dead Geng Dingxiang, who was already dead, Geng Dingli and Geng Dingli had a good relationship with Li Zhi. Geng Dingli had long died. Now the Geng family is the main one, and their family is Huang An. At this time, Huang An had been captured by the Red Turban Army. However, his family's losses were limited, and the male members of the family were all outside the office, including Mei Guozhen's family, and the losses were also limited. The male members of their family were also all outside the office, and most of their business was in other places. Macheng was not a commercial city.

As for the land being divided, the destruction of luxury houses, and the loss of property is no big deal. As long as the factories and manufacturers in other places are still in hand, they will still be top families if they change their places.

Mei Guozhen is still the governor of Wanli.

In fact, the Liu family suffered the most damage in the entire Macheng. The father and son all died, but this is a pity.

"Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty say? It always makes people feel a little strange. It is completely different from the past. Especially in his actions, he acted vigorously and resolutely. Although he has not killed one person so far, even Zhao Mengbai is just imprisoned, but this always makes people feel abnormal. He has been bloody and bloody in Guangdong, and even Fujian is quite implicated. Guangdong can be said to be bloody, but when he comes to us, he does not kill one person, which always makes people feel uneasy."

Zhou Zhiji said.

What Wanli did in Guangdong is clear here.

He was really a tyrant, and he was no different from his ancestors. He built a prison, killed aristocratic families, had no land and distributed it to unruly people, and even peeled the corrupt officials and allowed them to tie up and send them to corrupt officials. It can be said that his ancestors' tyranny has been completely restored.

They were also very scared before surrendering.

But the problem is that there is no choice. On the one hand, Yang Feng came to confiscate the family and on the other hand, the emperor was tyrannical. Generally speaking, the emperor was slightly better.

At least the emperor took the imperial examination, but Yang Feng had stopped taking the exam for a long time.

Now even a new official selection system has been established, that is, those students who graduated from new schools, then they take civil servants, then they are promoted and appointed to their official positions, and then retired military officers. These two sources are constantly entering the officialdom and replacing the original old bureaucrats. Confucian scholars have been completely abandoned, and the Four Books and Five Classics are not even textbooks for learning, and Confucianism has been completely abandoned. Now, the old Confucian scholars have only to write novels and scripts besides cursing their mothers.

But Wanli took the imperial examination!

Since he took the imperial examination, even a tyrant could tolerate it. My Ming gentry was always full of affection for the imperial examination. As long as he took the imperial examination, no matter whether he was a tyrant or a foreigner.

All are acceptable.

"You are not at ease if he doesn't kill people? Do you want him to kill people to be at ease? He was so angry in Guangdong. He Qiaozuo and others were indeed a bit too much. It was his own fault to end up like this. But if His Majesty dared to do this, there would be a Yunnan army. If the Yunnan army had not arrived, how could he dare to do this? But here, his imperial camp is useless. The only ones here are the four armies, our Chang'an army, the bandit army, and the Dingsheng army, and the combined hundreds of thousands of elite troops were watching. Of course, he would be honest and wise.

If he dares to do his tyranny here, we will not agree."

Geng Dingli sneered.

"Ji Zi is indeed worried."

Zou Yuanbiao said.

"Maybe I'm over-thinking."

Zhou Zhiji said.

Several old guys walked downstairs. After going down, Zou Yuanbiao looked at a young woman who was turning around in confusion. The latter was watching the scenery on this floor. Next to her was a burly man. It was probably a young couple who were playing. There were always tourists here, and they were just on the top floor.

But he just felt that this woman seemed a bit familiar.

Of course, you can tell whether you are rich or noble when you look through it. Maybe he is a junior from an acquaintance. He didn't think much about it and went straight to the next level with others.
