Chapter 316: The first day of the eighth lunar month(1/2)

After a while, Chu Zhongping spoke: "Fujian is mountainous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the people are strong, so the court should act cautiously.

If Ma Yuan has no two minds and is forced to rebel by us, wouldn’t it be heartbreaking?

It will be a long-term battle to quell the rebellion, and the court is in the northern expedition. If it is sending troops to conquer Fujian, the situation can be imagined."

As soon as Chu Zhongping finished speaking, He Yuansheng immediately retorted: "How can we be cautious, openly resist the order, and lead troops to fight against the court?

As for quelling the chaos, it is just a small Fujian. It can be pacified in a flash of fingers, and it doesn’t take much time at all!”

He Yuansheng's attitude was very firm, and Chu Zhongping refused to give in. The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, with a faint sense of opposition.

At this time, Chen Shijun spoke: "Marquis Changning, not to mention the situation in Fujian, it is not clear yet. Even the current imperial court has no spare energy to send troops south."

Then the topic changed: "Now the Northern Expedition Army has consumed countless food and money every day, and the court is already in a short position. Even if I beat me to death, the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to pay."

"Shangshu Chen's words are reasonable, so the marquis should put the overall situation first!"

Chu Zhongping agreed and tried his best to persuade He Yuansheng not to send troops to conquer Fujian.

"Does the court want to let go and Ma Yuan rule over Fujian?"

This problem also made Chu Zhongping and the others difficult.

Although the Daqian Dynasty was declining, many generals and governors no longer respected the imperial court's orders, no one dared to say that they wanted to let this behavior go.

The most important thing is that Fujian is located in the south and has been controlled by the court. If it is openly rebelled and the court has no movement, it may have a sharp decline in prestige.

At that time, the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan in the southwest and Guangdong and Guangxi in the south will probably have some learning experience.

After all, although these places are intercepting the imperial taxes, they only intercepted part of them and did not dare to do too much.

"The situation in Fujian is unknown. It's still a little too early to say this. You have to find out the situation before you can decide!"

In desperation, Chu Zhongping used the method of delay again.

"snort!"

He Yuansheng snorted coldly and said hatefully: "Soldiers are very fast. If you delay such a delay, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

After saying that, he left with a swagger and left the palace, the anger on his face disappeared immediately.

Half an hour later, He Yuansheng and Zhao Wenyu fought against each other in the Military Affairs Office.

"What did those guys say?"

"What else can I say, it's naturally incomplete!"

Zhao Wenyu responded with a smile, and then changed the subject: "Marty, how should we deal with the matter in Fujian?"

"Of course we have to send troops to conquer!"

"But the court lacks money and food, and its troops are insufficient!"

Zhao Wenyu sighed, his face also filled with sadness.

"Don't worry, the barren land of Fujian is in a barren land, and there are few soldiers and generals. It is not as difficult as you think this military chaos!"

He Yuansheng said lightly, looking full of confidence.

After a pause, he said nothing more: "I can't spend much money."

Seeing He Yuansheng's calm look, Zhao Wenyu's heart moved, as if he had thought of something, and immediately asked, "The Marquis is ready."

"Yes, the Kiss Camp has already started preparing for the battle!"

He Yuansheng responded with a smile, his face also looked calm and gentle.

"Then how did you perform in the court?"

"If the Zhejiang Party blocked the army and the army could not go south in time, and Ma Yuan and Wang Lishan would be allowed to seize Fujian, what would happen?"

He Yuansheng had already had an idea, so he was not in a hurry to send troops. After all, he went south from the sea and attacked Fuzhou directly, and the Fujian chaos would be pacified immediately.

As for Ma Yuan in Ningde, he had no way to die if he lost his rear and had no supplies.

"But it took a long time to delay, what if it affects the war?"

Zhao Wenyu was a little worried because every day he delayed, the more prepared the Fujian side would be. If it affected the quelling of the chaos, it would be more costly.

"rest assured!"

These two words made Zhao Wenyu feel confident that even if he didn't know the specific situation, he knew that He Yuansheng was sure.

"When the Marquis has an idea, I will not say much. Let's go out for a walk and let the students know the behavior of the Zhejiang Party."

After saying that, he left the Military Affairs Office.

"This time, what you want to do."

As soon as Zhao Wenyu left, He Yuansheng said to himself, and the expression on his face was also very proud.

The reason why Chu Zhongping and others were able to fight against He Yuansheng in the court was that the Zhejiang Party advanced and retreated together.

Now Wang Lishan and Ma Yuan's approach has undoubtedly changed everything, because confrontation with the court represents self-esteem.

Therefore, there will definitely be some turmoil within the Zhejiang Party. If the matter in Fujian cannot be properly resolved, the Zhejiang Party may be completely divided.

After all, the previous incident of Zhao Faxian had a great impact on Chu Zhongping. Many Zhejiang Party officials believed that he was not capable of leading the court and could not even protect his own people.

So the current situation is very beneficial to He Yuansheng. Once the Zhejiang Party splits, he will be able to completely dominate the situation.

In the afternoon of the same day, a large number of rumors appeared in the Shilin, saying that a rebellion occurred in Fujian, and that Chu Zhongping and other Zhejiang Party officials blocked the army from going south for their own selfishness...

At the same time, several powerful factions in the Zhejiang Party were also attacking Chu Zhongping.

Among the people who attacked, Li Shancai was the leader of Chu Zhongping publicly accused Chu Zhongping: "The incident in Fujian was completely caused by the mobilization of Ma Yuan. As an important official of the court, the cabinet master should not agree to this matter at all..."

"This is the condition proposed by He Yuansheng, otherwise the case of fraud in the imperial examination will not be settled."

Chu Zhongping had no choice but to tell the truth, but he was extremely angry and felt that the situation was a little out of control.

"In the imperial examination case, Zhao Faxian has been imprisoned. The matter should have ended here. Why do you still have to agree? Such an excessive condition!"

He paused and continued to speak: "Gei, can't you just consider yourself when doing things?"

Li Shancai's words were very meaningful, which clearly accused Chu Zhongping of giving up his colleagues for his personal power.

"What are you talking nonsense?"

Chu Zhongping was furious and looked at Li Shancai's gaze, which was also very unkind.

In fact, there were already some cracks within the Zhejiang Party, and this incident only made him burst out.

Since the court moved south, the status of governors of the five southeastern provinces has been greatly improved. Therefore, Chen Shijun and Zhao Faxian have entered the center one after another.

However, Chu Zhongping, who came from the south, was the one who dominated everything, which made many people unwilling to accept it. After all, the situation was different.

Especially Chen Shijun and Zhao Faxian, they entered the center one after another, and their power and status were greatly improved.

But Li Shancai, who had similar status and qualifications as theirs, was left in Zhejiang and served as the governor of a province, so he was naturally very dissatisfied.

It was not until Zhao Faxian was finished and the court was vacant that he entered the center and took over as the Minister of Rites.

However, the Minister of Rites had low power and status, and the conflicts became even more intense, so when he saw the opportunity, Li Shancai immediately attacked.

Because in Li Shancai's view, Chu Zhongping's existence will suppress the rest of the people and will never be able to stand out without damaging his prestige.

Faced with Chu Zhongping's anger, Li Shancai did not give in and responded coldly: "Isn't it?"

"you……"

Just when Chu Zhongping wanted to turn against him, Chen Shijun spoke: "Brother Shancai, Master Shan, the overall situation is the most important thing, don't fight."

Chen Shijun has a good status and has a good relationship with Li Shancai. As soon as he opens his mouth, both of them will naturally give him some face, so they keep silent.

"If the matter in Fujian cannot be properly resolved, it will have a great impact on us. Everyone should think about what to do, right?"

Chen Shijun continued to speak, his tone full of solemnity.

"I have sent a letter to Fujian to persuade Governor Wang not to act impulsively.

As long as there is no change in Fujian, things can be calmed down."

However, Chu Zhongping himself had no confidence in these words because he knew that the governors of the five southeastern provinces were not fuel-efficient.

There are even people who covet the position of the leader of the Zhejiang Party, so he least wants to see a change in Fujian.

"I'm afraid that Wang Lishan will feel sad when he dies in a rabbit and foxes, and I don't believe us!"

Li Shancai immediately spoke, with a bit of sarcastic tone.

"Brother Shancai, the overall situation is the most important thing. Let's write a letter to persuade Governor Wang!"

Chen Shijun once again persuaded Li Shancai. After all, if something happens in Fujian, the power of the Zhejiang Party will shrink significantly or even fall apart.

At this moment, an official hurriedly ran in and said, "My dear masters, something is not good. There are rumors in the city that rebellion occurred in Fujian. For the sake of his own selfishness, he allowed the rebellion and did not allow the imperial army to quell the rebellion."

"He Yuansheng!"

Chu Zhongping said hatefully, because this kind of rumor is clearly aimed at the Zhejiang Party. If it is not handled properly, the reputation of Zhejiang Party officials will be over.

More importantly, once Fujian is openly divided, the court will still send a large army to conquer. After so long, someone will have to take responsibility and give an explanation to the whole world.

"Gei Master, now we should send someone to clarify the rumors and appease Wang Lishan and Ma Yuan, and strive for a peaceful solution to this matter."
