It was afternoon the next day, and the silent entourage did not wait for the order. He wondered whether he would leave today or not, so he instigated Zhou Peijian to ask.

As a result, after a while, Zhou Peijian left and returned and said to everyone: "I am afraid that I am a little ill, so I may have to take a few days to recuperate."

Everyone was very surprised when they heard this. They thought that the banquet was fine last night, why did they get sick the next day?

"What's so strange about this?" Xu Wei, who passed by, said angrily: "Have you heard of what it means to "sickness comes like a mountain of falling down?"

"Why, Mr. Xu, what should we do?" Zhou Peijian said: "Mr. is very ill and has not given a charter."

"Is this a question?" Xu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Either play idle or go with Qi Jiguangjun, which one do you choose?"

"Does it still need to ask?" Everyone smiled embarrassedly: "We are literati." Later that day, everyone also visited Shao Zongbo. Seeing that he was indeed pale and sweaty, he was obviously sick. The military doctor said that the patients needed to rest, so everyone was happy and calmed down to have fun. The scenery of Chongming Island is beautiful, and even in winter, there is a kind of desolate beauty. The officials went out together to recite poems and essays, but they were happy. In that case, Qi Jiguang had the idea of ​​the Yu family army. The two commanders were also called Yu Long and Qi Hu. Now that the two armies met, of course there was a fight between dragons and tigers. Every day, the teaching field was filled with yellow smoke and the sound of killing shocked the sky, which surprised the civil officials who climbed high and looked far away. "There are no deep hatreds between these two families, right?

At this moment, in a villa deep in the military camp, the legendary serious illness Lord Shen, with a moon-white Xiaoyao towel on his head, wearing a dark blue cotton dress, and sitting by the stove with a teacup. He looked solemn, as if he was thinking about something, but it was not as if he was sick.

Xu Wei put his hands behind his back and circled around the stove and Shen Mo, and while he was turning, he complained loudly: "Wang Bengu, you are a killer, a killer!"

The eldest son was dizzy and had to stop looking at him. He turned his eyes to the table, where a few letters were scattered, which was the source of Xu Wei's troubles.

Silently, he didn't care about him, letting Xu Wei turn around, waiting for him to be tired, and sat beside him. When he was about to start a big teapot and drink, he said without any rush: "Now everything is just a guess. You may even think too much."

"Although you have a good relationship," Xu Wei said with a sinister face: "But such a big thing cannot be taken lightly!"

"I know." Silent nodded and stopped making any more noise.

One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one

He was silent and not sick, but just to find a reason to stay on Chongming Island and not enter the southeastern boundary. Because when the ship was docking in Laizhou, he received a report from the Jinyiwei, saying that several rebellions occurred in the southeastern provinces at the same time. Jiangxi, Xijiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places were in constant emergency, and all provinces were dispatching troops and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

After receiving the news, they remained silent and told Xu Wei and Qi Jiguang that their reactions were not unexpected. They were both unbelievable. They both had deep feelings for Hu Zongxian and Southeast civil and military officials, and they really didn't want to see such a thing happen.

But when they calmed down, they had no reason not to think that this series of events was creating a tense atmosphere and threatening the court to submit.

"This is to give the imperial envoy a warning." Xu Wei said with a gloomy face: "How can they do this?"

"Sir, we must make a quick decision." Qi Jiguang said coldly: "I will recommend suspending it in Laizhou and then deciding to stop it after the situation is clear."

After thinking for a long time, he looked up and asked them: "Is Hu Zongxian so stupid?"

"It shouldn't be," Xu Wei said: "If he doesn't know the time and does things against the enemy, he will not be able to achieve that achievement.

"As he said that, he did not take it seriously, and said, "But since the fall of the Yan Party, his situation has been bad day after day, and it is not impossible to use this stupid move when he was forced to do it."

"The worst plan should be made," Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice: "Do your best."

"Make the worst plan, do your best, and repeat Qi Jiguang's words quietly and nodded slightly, "Good words." Whether it is for the country, for oneself, or for Hu Zongxian, you must treat this matter carefully and minimize the impact.

After some careful consideration, Chen Si finally decided to continue to go south and observe on Chongming Island. The benefits of doing this are obvious. The distance is close, you will be quick to ask for help, and you will naturally respond quickly, but the disadvantages are also obvious, because this is Hu Zongxian's territory and the garrison is controlled by him.

However, Chen Si did not think that this was a risk, because the Yu family army stationed on Chongming Island. Based on his understanding of Yu Dazhu, this mature and polite general would definitely not follow others to mess with him.

Moreover, before everyone could react, they controlled the Yu family army with lightning speed. In this way, Yu Long and Qi Hu could at least shock many people in terms of momentum and prevent their voice from being drowned in the hustle and bustle of Jiangnan.

Based on Chongming Island, there is enough blank space for him to advance and retreat independently. Although this simple move is based on his understanding of the situation in the southeast and the grasp of the general's thoughts, he made a calm choice.

As a result, when he arrived here, Yu Daxian had been summoned to Hangzhou, but when he saw his eldest son in silence, he felt even more relieved. So he stationed quietly and waited for the latest information.

When Chen Mo informed the eldest son of the situation, he didn't expect that he didn't know much about the matter outside the island. It seemed that Yu Daxian was also blocking the news, but the eldest son told Chen Mo: "My boss told me that without his order, all warships were not allowed to go out, and even the commander would not be allowed to do so."

This is both good news and bad news, because on the one hand it shows that Yu Dabi's position is not a problem and his attitude is very firm, but it also shows that some bad things are indeed born.

Zhu Wu did not follow Chen Si on the water path, but instead headed south in Laizhou to contact and command the Qianhu Offices of the Jinyiwei to collect intelligence as much as possible and provide support for the silent decision-making.

Jinyiwei was very efficient. On the third day, the latest information from all aspects was summarized and put on his desk. The outline of the incident finally became clear.

The seemingly overwhelming rebellion in the southeast can actually be divided into two fields. The northern part of Anhui, Xijiang and Jiangxi are the rebellion of silver miners, and the southern part of Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong are the "three nests". The farmers rebelled, and there is no direct connection between the two, but there is also a certain internal relationship.

Let’s talk about the riots of silver miners first. This is actually a historical problem. With the economic development in the past century, silver has become the main currency of social settlement, and what has followed is a surge in demand for silver ore. The mining of silver mines is controlled by the government, but the actual mining is dominated by strong mountain people in neighboring areas, based on clans.

In order to complete the best and fill the bag, the government often sets a very high turnover amount, and supervises miners through miners and officials, severely punishes lazy and slacking people, and never tolerate those who steal ore and miners. Under the conditions at that time, the living conditions of miners were extremely bad, and death and injury were common, and they had to face the recording and bullying of the government all day long. The resentment became increasingly serious. At this time, some places had to climb high and shout, which easily attracted a large number of followers among the miners and the villagers in the surrounding area. They followed the army.

In addition to resisting the tyranny of the government, the more attractive purpose is to open silver mines. Of course, this behavior cannot be tolerated by the government and often faces severe blows. However, because the miners are united and strong in clans, and the place where the silver mines are often continuous, it is difficult for the army to defeat mountain people. In addition, the income from privately opening silver mines is far higher than working for official mines. Various factors are intertwined, which has caused the source of conflict that cannot be eradicated for a hundred years.

Historically, when Yang Tinghe was in power, he used some measures to ease the conflict between the government and the miners. However, after Yan Song took over the country, everything turned sharply. The government greedy for inspiration, exploited miners, and forced the people to death. It was about to cause riots again, but the rampant skulls in the southeast changed the development of the situation. The government's attention was no longer on the mines, and the military troops of the guard were eliminated by the powerful gulls in the early stages of the war. Therefore, in the more than ten years since the Jiajing period, the government's supervision of mines had a vacuum, and the consequences could be imagined with its toes.

The privately opened silver mines sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and emerged in various mining areas. The largest one is located in the junction of the three provinces of Nanzhili, Xijiang and Jiangxi. This area with a radius of 600 miles includes the northern silver mines in Xi'an County, Quzhou Prefecture, Kaihua Liudu Silver Farm, Dexing Silver Farm in Poyuan, Jiangxi, and Yushan Silver Farm. There are more than 100 mine caves, each with a considerable amount of ore output.

In contrast, the sluggishness of the silver mines in the official opening, and even unable to find enough miners to start work, the annual supply naturally dropped sharply. During the war, in order to avoid internal and external difficulties, the government could turn a blind eye, but now the hukou has been completely driven away. Without external pressure, the government cannot let it go.

The key figure in the matter was the governor of Xijiang and the censor, Wang Bengu. He had long been unable to bear the situation in the mine, so he wanted to continue to resist the victorious spirit and acted vigorously to solve the pain in one fell swoop. Without informing the Governor's Office, he led thousands of officers and soldiers from the headquarters to Quzhou Prefecture and led nearly 10,000 yamen runners, officials, regiments, and village tycoons, and a total of nearly 10,000 people to enter the mountains and seal the mines.

At first, the progress was very smooth. More than a dozen mines were seized and hundreds of rebelling miners were arrested, as if they had wiped out the tide of private mining. But Wang Bengu knew that there were tens of thousands of people involved in mining, and because Quzhou, as the name suggests, was the thoroughfare of the three provinces, bounded with Jiangxi and Nanzhi Huizhou, so as soon as the news came out, the miners fled from the mountain to other provinces. The governor, prefect, and county magistrate had no right to cross the line to pursue him, so they could only sigh.

When the imperial court withdraws its troops, the escaped miners will soon come back, dig open the closed silver mines and continue to mine. This game of you going forward and I retreat, you retreat and I advance has been playing for many years, but it is still repeating.

Wang Bengu did not have this patience. In order to achieve the effect of killing one hundred, he killed more than one hundred miners in front of tens of thousands of villagers in front of the Yunwu Mountain Mine Cave. "This is very consistent with his personality, otherwise he would not have almost killed Wang Zhi and his son back then.

This is a foolish act, because he fouled. Why did he go to the suppression very smoothly? He used to be verbally afraid of the errands. How could it be easy for him to be in the year? It is difficult to die. Don’t be so good at remembering the punishment? No, it is because he is famous for his two-point career, never give up until he achieves his goal, and never talks about mercy and does not abide by the "rules". So Guanshen of Quzhou Prefecture had already greeted the mine owners and powerful people. Cooperate well, give Wang Zhong a face and send this god away, and everyone should do what they should do.

Yes, the officials in the mining area have long been bribed by the white silver and become the protectors of the black mine. "What are the laws of the court, etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, and only real money and silver are real.

Over the years, everything here has formed a tacit understanding and coexist in a strange harmony.

But as those 100 heads fell to the ground, harmony disappeared. The mine owners and wealthy clans felt betrayed and the clans who had lost their relatives wanted to take revenge. So almost overnight, the crazy people holding spears and guns, and even the iron-clad manuscripts emerged from all directions. Relying on the protection of the mountains, they killed officers and soldiers in elusive ways.

Wang Bengu caught off guard, suffered a lot of losses, and organized a counterattack. However, he could only lose again and again, but his opponent's momentum became increasingly louder and more, as if it was contagious. Miners from Poyuan and Yushan, Jiangxi, also joined in, and even the workers in Jingdezhen also caused trouble. Seeing that the situation could no longer be controlled, Wang Bengu finally ignored his face and urgently asked for help from the Governor's Office."

The peasant riots in Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places are actually just a new development of old problems. Since the 35th year of Jiajing, the White Lotus believers have preached missions in the two provinces and organized riots among the poor. Among them, Li Wenbiao, Heping County, Guangdong, Gaoshabao, Xie Yunzhang, Longnan County, Jiangxi, and Lai Qinggui, who took advantage of the official army to attack the bent bandits, formed a clique. The name was "Sanchao" and led their troops to attack nearby counties.

For more than ten years, the bandit Li Wenbiao was dead, but his sons Li Zhen and Xie, Lai's arrogance became more and more rampant. They made arrangements to attack cities and towns in four different ways, and had already occupied tens of thousands of people. They occupied Guangdong Heping, Longchuan, Xingning, Longnan, Jiangxi, Xinfeng, Anyuan counties, and Xinfeng, Anyuan counties. All the officials dare not question them. However, the farmers and handicraftsmen who had no livelihood went to the mountains to build villages and made a name for themselves. The Qinggui Department alone crossed the Jiang and Guangxi six counties, and defended them according to the danger, and the government army could not defeat them.

Li, Xie and Lai were not stupid. They knew that they would not allow others to sleep on the side of the bed. Once the court freed up their hands, they would definitely wipe out them with all their might. Therefore, they actively contacted the pirates Wang Yiben and others who fled to the coast of Guangdong. In an attempt to expand their power and resist the official army. When the miners in Anhui, Qu, Po and Jing were in a riot, they thought it was the best time, so they began to attack the prefectures and counties of the court, trying to make the territory of the country and become king.

For a time, the two provinces of Jiangxi and Guangdong frequently encountered emergency situations, and Wu Baipeng, the governor of Southern Gansu, stepped up 600 miles in a row, and asked to send troops to suppress the matter to Beijing and Hangzhou.

This is the truth about the current riot in the southeast. In Xu Wei's opinion, it was because Wang Bengu did not make any contribution in his resistance. He felt that the imperial envoy was unable to get over the face, so he acted rashly.

"Absurd, too ridiculous." Xiao Xuwei's face turned red and said: "If a good situation in the southeast is not handled properly, it will be ruined. The eldest son made him shiver, but he was silent but didn't even blink his eyelids.

"I said you are too numb, right?" Xu Wei was very dissatisfied with his silent attitude and shouted, "Are you not in a hurry?"

"Of course I'm anxious." Shunshu put down the teacup and patted Xu Wei and said, "But, I'm not that anxious."

"It's still numb." Xu Wei opened his hand and said, "No wonder people say that you are not a human being after becoming an official." "Go to you," he cursed silently, stood up, and moved his sore legs and said, "I just feel that things are not as bad as you think.

"It's not bad?" Xu Wei waved his arms and said, "The southeast half is in chaos! What else do you want?"

"Listen to me to say three things." Silent stretched out three fingers and said, "First, rebellion was born in the thoroughfare, and it was said to involve five provinces, but in fact it was just two rebellions." He curled up a finger and said, "Then, the riots in Jiangxi and Guangdong are actually an old problem. The government could deal with them in the past, but the army is stronger now, and there is no reason to not be able to deal with them."

He finally held up a finger and said, "And the most important reason is that I believe that there is only one person in power, and the southeast will not be in chaos.

”

"You mean Xu Wei said softly: "Hu Zongxian?"

"No," Silent nodded and smiled, "What was the situation when he took over Southeast? Meimei Mengmeng, tigers and wolves all over the ground, and the clouds were clear and the moon was bright. Now these rebellions are probably not enough in his eyes."

"Didn't you say that the coach is leaving?" The eldest son, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked in a low voice: "Is that true?"
