Those who engage in conspiracy must face the fate of being conspired by others. Ge Lao Li and the Fujian Department behind him have verified this very well.

The former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Han Zhuo led the Huizhou militia to ambush the Fujian merchant gang.

Li Tingji, the chief assistant of the cabinet who was plotting against rebellion, committed suicide by defeating and dozens of Fujian officials including Hong Chengyuan, the Minister of Revenue, who followed him, were shot dead.

Then Han Zhuo and Lu Longyun, the Minister of War, quickly told all parts of Guangdong, especially the head of the Chaozhou Parliament, which was also the head of the Chaozhou gentry. Li Siyue, a Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing, issued a notice to all prefectures and counties in Guangdong in Chaozhou, confirming that His Majesty the Emperor was not on Nanao Island. Immediately afterwards, Huang Shouqian, an official from Haifeng Township, led a militia to expedition to Nanao Island and repelled the remaining navy with a righteous spirit. Then he confirmed that His Majesty the Emperor was not on the island. All parts of Chaoshan angrily criticized the rebels led by Li Tingji.

so……

"They were just fooled."

Yang Xiangguo gave a very reasonable explanation for this.

Of course, it cannot be said that he was fooled. It can only be said that the Guangdong gentry was not prepared to share the same breath with the Fujian gentry from the beginning.

They did want to force the emperor to surrender together.

However, if the plan is about to fail, they will turn against each other without hesitation.

The last Guangdong Incident caused heavy losses to Guangdong officials, either being raided or expelled from the center or even dismissed, leaving Lu Longyun in the Ministry of War.

Although this is because the emperor no longer believes in Guangdong officials, Fujian officials are also an important reason for taking the blame.

So if the emperor's problem cannot be solved this time, it is good to take the opportunity to solve the Fujian officials. This is the real reason why Guangdong gentry is positive. Anyway, the leader is the Fujian people. When the trouble ends, it is enough to stab the back with a knife and a glorious back when they see failure. Although some of the Guangdong officials and elders really want to fight to the end, this is normal. After all, the last time the emperor's grandfather's house search made the gentry in Guangzhou really hate him.

But it is only from Guangzhou Prefecture.

It is completely impossible to expect gentry from other places to follow along.

Why did Chaoshan gentry empathize with the gentry of Cantonese? Why did gentry in Qiongzhou and other places stand up for the affairs of the gentry of Cantonese?

It makes no sense!

Besides, this has nothing to do with them!

The court said that the emperor was on Nan'ao Island, so of course we have to believe it. If we don't believe it, who else can the court believe? As for why Li Siyue, who is so close to him, did not verify it before?

Why do we need to verify?

We are just a group of people, and the villagers are also people. We have no responsibility to manage these things.

The court said that the emperor was on Nan'ao Island, so we should believe it. We are all good people who abide by the law and believe in every word the court said. Now Xiong Tingbi suddenly came to report, and Liu Shishang and other court officials believed that the emperor was imprisoned and triggered the second Guangzhou change. Only then did we, the township officials, think that it was the responsibility to find out the truth. Then we went to Nan'ao Island and found that the emperor was really not there. In other words, what Xiong Tingbi said was true.

Then of course we have to fight against traitors like Li Tingji.

We are loyal ministers.

We are all loyal ministers of His Majesty the Emperor.

A great loyal minister is loyal and loyal, and never has any unfaithful heart.

We just gave Li Tingji an opportunity to take advantage of the trust in the court, so we were blinded by him for so long.

We are very innocent.

"Why should the emperor be easily solved even if he is in a corner of Fujian and Guangdong, but he always has to face constant betrayal. The situation cannot be truly stable, and he still has to keep facing danger?"

The concubine said with interest.

"because……"

Yang Xiangguo pondered for a while.

"Because he is not a strong and iron-blooded real man like me!"

Then he said proudly.

The concubine was speechless.

The Yang Prime Minister is still in Nanchang, and the Red Turban Army in various places still has not attacked.

The rule of not fighting in the busy farming season is still effective. We dare not be careless about food issues. Even if we give our opponents more time to prepare, we must ensure this principle. After all, the reduction in grain production caused by war will cause a terrible chain reaction. In this era when food is always at a critical point, we must be careful to maintain food security.

Besides, even if you give your opponents more time to prepare, they will not change their destiny.

OK, mainly because of this.

During this period, the north has temporarily returned to peace.

Fang Congzhe was still building the Yellow River in Henan, but he was already lying flat.

Or the Henan gentry has already lay flat.

Although they still forced the vassal kings in Henan to attend the vassal conference, they refused to continue to expand their troops, just to maintain a total of 70,000 new troops under Fang Congzhe, which was originally 100,000, but 50,000 of them were from Huguang, and Mei Guozhen transferred back 30,000 from it, and the remaining 20,000 were actually from Yunyang. However, the Henan gentry who refused to continue to invest more funds to expand their troops continued to invest more funds to build the Yellow River. After all, no matter what they were like, as Henan people, they still had to accompany the Yellow River.

It is wiser to build the Yellow River!

In fact, it is mainly because there are too many troublemakers in Henan who fled, and gentry from all over the country have lost the courage to resist.

They have all rented less now.

Compared with spending a lot of money to raise thugs to capture fugitives and still getting more and more, the rent reduction seems to be cheaper.

At least rent reduction can really reduce the number of fleeing households. After all, those fleeing households will not choose to escape from their hometown if they can tolerate them.

The gentry of Northern Zhili and Shanxi still supported Sun Chengzong to clear up those special types of rebels. The tragedy of Shanxi merchants made them wake up. At this time, they were short of money, so it was good to clear these guys who were destined to be in trouble and make a fortune. And they could also use the land occupied by these people in the past to alleviate the conflict between the gentry and the poor. For example, after the Ma Kongying Rebellion, the situation in Shanxi was immediately different. The land of Shanxi merchants who were destroyed was divided by the tenants in the past.

They no longer resist the Senate.

They have a house and a field.

After all, the Shanxi merchants were wiped out, and in a sense, the number of people was reduced, and our Qing Dynasty's method was immediately effective.

So after the cleaning, it has been basically completed, and everyone is happy. The poor without land have land, the barbarian without wives have women, the number of concubines in the gentry's family has increased significantly, and there are also many more businesses, and cattle, sheep, livestock, and even gold, silver and jewelry have gained a lot.

For a moment, Beizhili became peaceful.

Even the tide of escape towards the Red Turban Army controlled the area disappeared suddenly.

It will be immediate.

After all, when external conflicts cannot be resolved, there must be someone inside to make sacrifices.

Shandong began to go out to sea.

Because the Qi family and Du Song Group, which control Denglai, still belong to the Yang Feng camp, their overseas trade is protected by Yang Feng. Shandong Maritime Merchant Group is gradually becoming a competitor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Maritime Merchant. Although the latter is dissatisfied, he dare not stop it. Therefore, Shandong has become the main seaport of various northern provinces, and even began to repair the inland shipping in North China cut off by the canal. However, this has also caused the canal to be cut off from time to time, but no one cares about that now.

How could Shandong gentry be in charge of the life and death of the Red Turban Army in the capital?

Therefore, most of the current canal transportation has been transported by sea, which also makes the sea merchants in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong very happy. After all, Yang Feng’s sea canal transportation is a commercial transportation.

The court paid the money and the maritime merchants were responsible for transportation.

For example, the Shen family in Chongming and Qi family in Penglai are now the main contractors of the canal transportation.

The development of maritime trade has absorbed a large number of poor people from Shandong, and land conflicts in various places have gradually eased.

However, another thing appeared in Shandong. Because the fleeing in southwestern Shandong was severely ill, the gentry who did not have enough tenants to cultivate the land began to learn slave plantations without a teacher. They bought large quantities of arrested anti-party parties from Northern Zhili, and then put chains on these anti-party parties and planted cotton for them.

Of course, they also knew that these people were dangerous.

So their choice is to win over local people as much as possible, and even militarized organizations like docks began to appear.

Simply put, those people who have not yet escaped have all obtained the best land and the rent has been reduced to very low. Then they serve as thugs for the gentry. Looking at these rebel parties, the gentry masters can happily be cotton planters with small whips. Because the cotton planting area in Jiangnan has shrunk year by year, the amount of cotton imported from India is finally limited, and the price of cotton has always remained at a high level. These plantation-based gentry have made a lot of money, which is also their surprise.

As for the gentry of Datong, they were still happily playing with their retro.

So the escape situation in their place became more and more serious.

After all, the people of Shaanxi are not stupid, and the gentry and master are not stupid. There are places around that can survive, so why do you have to tie them together with these fools?

Going to Sichuan, Ningxia, where the number of terminations is severe, and going to Longyou, it is better to find a place to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn than to follow these serf owners!

In short, with the fact that the Ming Dynasty collapsed, all regions began to look for their own happiness.

"The Prime Minister, Xiangyang sent information, and the vassal conference elected their new monarch."

Yang Hu walked in and reported.

Well, the gentry in Huguang are also looking for their own happiness.

"King Rong, will you reach Xianzong all of a sudden?"

Yang Feng said as he looked at the information in his hand.

The new emperor elected by the Xiangyang Vocational Conference was King Rong Zhu Yi-yu.

"Your Majesty has two brothers, Hongguang is still imprisoned in Fengyang, and Muzong only has one brother who lives to become a vassal, that is, King Jing. As a result, he has no son to inherit it, and he is the only one who goes to Wuzong. Of course, he can only find it among the brothers of Xiaozong.

There were many sons of Emperor Xianzong, and there were several vassal kings who remained there. However, this vassal conference was created by the gentry of Huguang. Of course, Huguang should be the main one, and the one in Huguang was Rong. Besides, no one was fighting for this. Everyone knew that this emperor was introduced as a decoration. I guess there was nothing to get except for the dragon robe. In the end, it was still the most unlucky one to fail.

It is estimated that King Rong was also forced to ascend the throne."

The concubine said.

What she guessed was correct.

The poor King Rong ascended the throne in Chengtian in tears!
Chapter completed!
