Chapter 266: The Hangzhou House Riot
The Shaoxing Prefecture court, yes, it is the court.
Even though he was nestled in Pinggang Mountain Village, the court was still the court in this original bandit nest.
With the signing of the peace treaty, Duoduo led his army to withdraw from Fenghui and Shaoxing Prefectures.
The court breathed a sigh of relief.
It is said that the court officials who are full and warm in their hearts are excited.
Instead of arguing for Wu, they condemned Wu Zheng.
Just like Dong Yingdi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he had a group of censors, and officials jointly submitted memorials to impeach Wu Zheng, ignored the lord, and arbitrarily negotiated with the Qing court and signed a ceasefire treaty, etc., and listed eight major crimes, which meant to put Wu Zheng to death.
This group of people accounted for most of the imperial officials.
There are many righteous people among them, who really don’t like Wu Zheng’s domineering and wanton behavior.
This is what they said in their condemnation, "Although Lin'anbo worked hard and made great achievements and made outstanding achievements in military affairs, his words and deeds have exceeded the scope of a minister. If the governor and the court tolerate it, the country will not be a state."
"Even if he is not willing to live in the outside world, he has not even sent people to communicate with the court in such a major event that involves diplomatic relations between the two countries. What does Lin'anbo mean to do if he is not a monarch or a minister or a minister? "
"The wolf's ambition is almost usurping the throne and reincarnation!"
...These condemnations made everyone who understands, like Qian Sule, Zhang Huangyan and others, unable to refute it. Except for Zhang Huangyan's stern comments to defend Wu Zheng, Qian Sule never made a sound in the court.
It is strange that Zhu Yihai, the King of Lu, who has always regarded Wu Zheng as a rebel minister, said justice to Wu Zheng, "Don't you, the court is trapped in Pinggang Mountain. If Wu Zheng had not been restored to Yingtian Prefecture in front of you, you and I would have died here. Although Wu Zheng has always been arrogant, he has been in a hurry to follow the power... The result is good, and you and I don't have to worry about the details anymore, right? At least, Wu Zheng's strategic purpose of insisting on the Northern Expedition this time was successfully achieved."
Zhu Yihai's speech allowed Zhu Mei to quickly make the final conclusion on this matter.
"Lin'anbo was young and had just held a high position. He was inevitably full of spirit and mania. The court will send special envoys to come and make excuses. For his soldiers and their subordinates, they must be demoted to the next level to show punishment..."
The public opinion gradually subsided after the regent and the King of Lu said this.
Then, an important official immediately wrote a letter to resign—to move the capital.
This proposal was quickly approved by everyone present.
Just kidding, now that Shaoxing Prefecture has revived Yingtian Prefecture, it is Nanjing of the Ming Dynasty.
Occupying Nanjing is equivalent to having great righteousness. To put it more simply, to the outside world, especially to the Longwu Dynasty in Fujian, they speak more than just a little bit.
Therefore, the monarch and ministers unanimously passed the matter of moving the capital.
But the question is, how to go to Yingtian Mansion?
Although the armistice treaty was signed, the two sides reached a truce to occupy actual land.
Duoduo had occupied Fenghui, Yiting, and Shaoxing Prefecture. The court had to transfer from Pinggang Mountain to Yingtian Prefecture. There were only two roads. One was to leave the port and go to the estuary of the Yangtze River from Shangyu or Shaoxing Prefecture.
The second road is to cross the river from the west of the Qiantang River where Fang Guoan and Duoduo negotiated, and go north through Ningguo Mansion by land.
Both roads need to be made clear, otherwise, the army with less than 10,000 people in Pinggangshanzhai will not be able to break through at all.
However, in the armistice treaty, there is no obligation to provide evacuation channels between both parties.
In other words, the breakthrough at this time is more likely to trigger another battle.
Just when the imperial court was worried about it, a major event happened in the village - Mr. Wu was seriously ill.
Perhaps because of the humidity in the mountains for a long time and the weather is not suitable for the environment, Mr. Wu has a cervical sore on his back. These days, he is getting bigger and bigger. When the pain starts, life is worse than death.
After seeing the Chinese military doctors in the village, they were helpless. No wonder they were not afraid of this. In this era, this kind of ulcer is a difficult and complicated disease and has no medical treatment at all.
When Zhu Mai, Wu Xiaomei, and Zhou Simin were as anxious as ants, those so-called loyal ministers and righteous men with no conscience thought of a way, which was to throw this problem to Wu Zheng to solve.
What they thought of was, Wu Zheng, your father is critically ill, you have to come and have a look, but as long as you come, you have to go back, right? Once you go back, we will naturally be able to follow you out of this broken village.
Simple, direct and efficient!
....
Hangzhou City is undergoing a major change due to Wu's struggle to recover Yingtian Prefecture.
Don’t obsess with being a local snake, the psychological defense line of wealthy businessmen in the city that were defeated by the previous food war.
Wu Zheng led his army to advance rapidly, exacerbating the prolongation of this psychological defeat.
Mo Zhinian just wanted to "plunder" food from the merchants, and never had any other meaning.
But in fact, panic has always been attributes of transmission and prolongation.
When a large amount of grain from Suzhou Prefecture was transported to Hangzhou Prefecture, this attribute was fully revealed.
The Ming army restored Yingtian Prefecture and became the last straw to defeat people's hearts.
During the war, all real estate will fall wildly and collapse.
Houses and fields are the most concrete meanings.
The collapse of the most appreciated grain prices directly triggered a silent market depression.
The wealthy businessman and the giant businessman collapsed with a bigger line of defense, and the food prices fell sharply, directly turning into panic selling.
This may have become irrational, but one thing is certain that this selling at all costs is obviously exaggerating emotions, and in the subsequent process, it has become more and more intense.
Land prices in Hangzhou Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture and surrounding counties collapsed.
This is not only a collapse of grain prices, but also a collapse of all real estate.
Land prices are especially the best.
It’s not that the people don’t want to buy low-priced land, but that the rich sell at all costs. The people are afraid that if they buy it today, they will be trapped tomorrow.
No one doesn't want to buy cheaper land, and they are waiting for cheap land.
Before the war began, a mu of high-quality paddy fields in Hangzhou Prefecture cost 35 to 40 taels.
In just half a month, the price of a mu of high-quality paddy fields has broken through the fifteenth mark.
In other words, less than half of what it used to be.
This price has only appeared in Hangzhou Prefecture for hundreds of years when the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty.
This is not a trivial matter. The collapse of real estate directly led to a huge shrinkage of assets for all landowners.
The people cannot bear this kind of torment day after day, which will lead to chaos.
A serious riot broke out in Hangzhou Prefecture.
Even though Mo Zhongnian has rich experience, he is unable to reverse this change. At this critical moment, Mo Zhongnian's granddaughter Mo Yiqing once again showed his extraordinary talent.
She came to Mo Zhinian's study room and suggested to Mo Zhinian, "Grandfather, the people are in agitation at this time. If there is no strong guidance, a man-made disaster will happen."
Mo Zhinian asked, "What are some good suggestions do you have?"
Mo Yiqing said two words and said, "Save the market!"
