Oh, I understand, I think I've finished it, and I'll transfer to Nanjing to be taken to Beijing."

“That’s right.”

Wei Guangde nodded slightly and said.

"Then why are you here? Go in and listen. You have returned to the capital. If the emperor asks, you have to give us a few good words."

Speaking of this, He Shou sighed and continued, "Who could have thought that this would happen? I don't know if Lord Huang was really killed."

"Mr. Huang must be broken."

Wei Guangde whispered.

"real?"

He Shou was about to step in, but when he heard Wei Guangde's words, he stood still and stared at Wei Guangde.

"Before, my brother-in-law and I rushed to the small schoolyard with our servants. We encountered chaos on the way, so we can be sure that Lord Huang lost his life."

Wei Guangde explained in a low voice.

"Go inside and say."

Knowing that Wei Guangde had been involved in this matter, He Shou frowned, but nodded slightly, as if feeling relieved.

Wei Guangde thought about it and realized that he had nothing to do with the Nanjing officialdom. If the matter was not related to him, he could tell the truth after returning to Beijing. What would be the truth to Emperor Jiajing? Then the time came to the ears of Emperor Jiajing.

But his father-in-law Xu Pengju has been trapped, and now he has also got involved. At least he will not say anything else and expand the officials involved. Naturally, he, the eunuch in charge, will not be involved much.

Wei Guangde followed He Shou into the garrison hall. There were not many people inside, most of them were met by Wei Guangde earlier.

The Nanjing officialdom has not changed much in the past two years, so when Wei Guangde got married, all the well-known figures in Nanjing came. As a freshly released minister of the emperor, these people are still quite close.

In the hall, except for the least sense of existence, Xu Bangrui who was hiding aside, the others were of a higher grade than him, so Wei Guangde saluted them first when he came in.

Fortunately, after many years in the Ming Dynasty, Wei Guangde got used to it and later generations also talked about etiquette, but it was not so troublesome.

Wei Guangde was considered a minister in the court. Although his rank was much lower than theirs, he was still an imperial envoy who was ordered to go south to handle the imperial envoy. Although the others were very surprised by his sudden appearance here for a while, they soon came up with the reason.

Only Zhang Liang, who had previously escaped with Xu Pengju, knew that Wei Guangde had previously brought the servants from the Duke of Wei's mansion to pick them up, and he was still behind to cut off the rear.

After getting off the sedan chair, they planned to send a horse team back to see it. After all, Wei Guangde had to face the extremely vicious riots, but they couldn't get many people to come for a while. It just so happened that Li Sui, the Minister of War, arrived again, and they were anxious to discuss the order to mobilize troops.

If such a big mess occurs, it is necessary to surround the garrison in the small school ground to avoid them from losing control and causing greater disasters. So before Wei Guangde arrived, they had already divided the streets that could be mobilized by the surrounding guards. Xu Pengju issued a transfer order in the name of Nanjing garrison, and the Ministry of War used seals.

Wei Guangde came in now and sat down below and listened to them telling He Shou about the deployment again. However, He Shou was obviously not interested in these things and waved his hand and said, "I don't understand the miscellaneous things about leading the troops. You can do it as long as the rioters are not allowed to cause trouble in the city."

The order to dispatch troops has been issued, and the rewards from all parties will be delivered one after another. At this time, Zhang Liang looked at Wei Guangde, who was in charge and asked: "When will Shandai arrive in Nanjing, and he will not come to our mansion to sit."

Wei Guangde hurriedly stood up and said, "I just arrived yesterday. I planned to visit all the adults in the past few days, and let the accompanying officials rest in Nanjing for two days before going north to return to Beijing."

"Hey, it made you laugh. I didn't expect that the disaster last year was a major epidemic at the beginning of this year, and there is still such a mess."

Zhang Liang shook his head and then looked at him seriously and said, "How are the rebels? They ran out of the small school ground. Are there any burning, killing, looting outside?"

This is the topic of concern to all the adults here. If the Zhenwuying Army messes around in Nanjing City, the court will pursue it at that time. Even if they can escape, they will have to be dereliction of duty and useless. Don’t expect the Ministry of Personnel’s assessment at the end of the year.

Wei Guangde thought for a moment and said, "I have persuaded the riots who are chasing over there to go back to the military camp and wait for the imperial court's orders. I think there will be no more trouble in the short time. I am just worried that if there are any riots in other streets around the small schoolyard, it will be troublesome to cause trouble."

"I've sent someone to find out the news, and I think there will be news soon."

Xu Pengju above responded at this time.

"If Shandai can really suppress the rioters and let them return to the military camp, this will be a great contribution."

He Shou suddenly interrupted with a sharp voice at this time.

"Yes, it's not easy. The soldiers are in chaos and are the most difficult to control."

At this time, Li Sui also said, he led the troops and naturally knew that the soldiers were not easy to gather in chaos. It was really difficult to get them to obey the command again.

Why is there a saying that "defeat is like a mountain of defeat" actually means a true portrayal of victory and defeat on the battlefield and time-sharing.

If the defeated army wants to gather the soldiers and form a formation and retreat, it is impossible. Most of the soldiers will only think of throwing their robes and running first, and their behavior will also lead to the soldiers who originally wanted to obey orders, but eventually they will lose control.

At this time, the senior officials in Nanjing who were sitting in the house were thinking about how to control the mutiny of the soldiers. As for the aftermath, it was after controlling the situation.

As the news came one after another, the three guards of Duke of Wei were on their way to the small school to rescue people under the order of Xu Bangrui, and encountered many chaotic troops. However, both sides were relatively restrained and only sporadic fire broke out.

It can only be said that it is a fire merger, because the two sides did not fight, and they separated after a simple conflict between the soldiers in front.

Everyone is a military household. In the past, they looked up and looked down when they were reading school. They were not considered familiars, but they were not outsiders. So soon both sides chose to retreat to avoid greater conflicts.

With the arrival of the Chengyi Bo Liu Shiyan, the news that he scared away a group of riots was confirmed. On several roads outside the schoolyard, soldiers from the Beijing camp successively entered the defense, and the situation was barely controlled.

"My sirs, a sentry came back to report that the body of Huang Maoguan Huang had been found. It was sent by people from Zhenwu Camp. They said that Lord Huang died when he climbed over the wall and had nothing to do with them. They were just asking Lord Huang to argue about the owed wages, but they did not expect such a misunderstanding would happen."

Just as the senior officials in the hall were celebrating to control the situation so quickly, a lieutenant came in outside the house to report the latest information.

"Did they send Lord Huang's body over?"

Xu Pengju was slightly stunned and asked back.

"Yes, it has been handed over to Wudewei. Commander of the Guard wants to ask what to do."

The captain said hurriedly.

"Let them send someone to Huang's house, what else can I do?"

Xu Pengju said immediately.

This was caused by Huang Mao’s mean soldiers. If the person was still alive, Xu Pengju would have planned to impeach him by memorials. It would be better if he died, so let it go.

In fact, Huang Mao was mean to his soldiers, and was also reducing the financial burden for the court.

Before he took over as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing agreed to the Ministry of War’s request due to supply difficulties in border towns and borrowed more than one million yuan of grain money that should have been distributed to Nanzhili, causing the southern reserves to be empty for a long time.

When Huang Maoguan took office, the surplus grain in Nanjing was only enough for half a year. He wrote letters many times, requesting that the court be able to allocate some relief from the reserves sent to the north every year, and it was rejected by the reason that "border defense is the priority."

Under such circumstances, Huang Maoguan had a personality and started from two aspects.

On the one hand, the audit was strictly blocked and the suspicion of fraud was carefully investigated. On the other hand, the food and salary distribution cycle was delayed as much as possible, and even planned to stop the subsidies to those with wives. The latter was one of the salary conditions at the beginning of the recruitment.

However, this request has now been torn to pieces by the rioters, and it is impossible to submit it to the court again.

His actions were only focused on completing the tasks of his superiors, but he did not care about the misfortune of the people in the disaster year. No matter how the soldiers' lives or death, they would not attract the hatred of the soldiers, and they would kill him if they found an opportunity.

In fact, when Huang Maoguan responded to the demand for wages and food in each battalion and ward, he shouted "Why not die" more than once.

Especially when a plague broke out in Nanjing and surrounding areas, he hoped that more soldiers would die, which would also relieve the pressure on the Ministry of Revenue.

One of the important reasons why the military pay for Zhenwu Camp was forced to be deducted this time was that under the plague, each battalion reported the dead, but only Zhenwu Camp did not, so the silver pay was still allocated according to the full amount.

"There is also a general on the side of the small schoolyard. I think it's better to invite Mr. Liu to come over and take over the battalions temporarily, so as to deal with emergencies in a timely manner."

At this time, Zhang Liang spoke.

The Jingying surrounded the small schoolyard, and the people in Zhenwuying were surrounded and could not get out. The situation was controlled. However, the aftermath required a very small number of people to participate in the matter. After all, when he and Xu Pengju were surrounded by the Ministry of Revenue, some things were difficult to take out and publicly talked about.

As Liu Shiyan went to the small school to set up defenses, the soldiers of the Zhenwu camp broke out of control and rushed into the street market to cause trouble. The people from other yamen also said goodbye when they saw that the situation had been controlled.

Soon, only Xu Pengju, He Shou, Zhang Jia, Li Tingzhu and Li Sui were left in the garrison hall. Of course, Wei Guangde was also sitting below.

Xu Pengju and Zhang Yang are both witnesses. He Shou was a military supervisor sent by the royal family to Nanjing City. He could not hide the matter from him. Moreover, he worked together in Nanjing for many years and everyone was considered his own.

"How to deal with the follow-up, you can't arrest and kill all the people in Zhenwu Camp."

At this time, He Shou spoke first, saying that he was just to throw away his bricks and attract jade, but from the expressions of Xu Pengju and Zhang Liang before, it seemed that these two people had nothing to say clearly.

"Oh, it's not easy for soldiers, especially in this year of disaster."

Xu Pengju sighed and said, and Zhang Liang nodded immediately.

"How did you suppress those gangs of soldiers?"
