Although Tang Yi made a very bad estimate, the actual situation was worse than expected. There were about 1,800 bandits of the White Lotus Sect who participated in the rebellion.

Most of them were actually the border troops of the Ming Dynasty. The highest-ranking officer of the rebellion was a Qianhu, and there was a foreman of the foreman of the imperial court. You should know that the general, deputy general, and generals were often mobilized. The core of the real army was Qianhu, Qianhu, Beihu, and guards, and these middle and lower-level officers.

They had direct contact with the soldiers, and had as many as hundreds of troops in their hands. It was not difficult at all to make trouble, open the city gate, and lead the enemy into the city.

If Tang Yi had not released the fog and caused the White Lotus Sect to invade early and fail, the consequences would have been unimaginable when Altan came.

Zu Xun, the general general of Xuanfu, and Tang Ruoan, kneeled in front of Tang Yi one after another.

"General, the last general comes to apologize!"

Tang Yi said silently, as if he hadn't seen them, and he bowed his head to process the official documents. These two people looked at me, and I looked at you, their faces were like bitter gourds.

The rebel Qian Zong and Bei Yu came from the men of two people, and no one could escape. If Tang Yi wrote a letter, their black hat would definitely not be able to be kept. Whether the heads could be kept depends on the mood above.

I am a fisherman. At this time, I can only throw my face aside and pray for forgiveness. Fortunately, they were quite obedient before, and there might be a glimmer of hope.

Zu Xun knelt and crawled half a step, kowtowing at Tang Yi.

"The general of the commander, the last general fails to supervise his military and is not strict in his military administration. He is willing to accept the crime. He also asks the commander to do good deeds outside the law and give us the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!"

"Yes, yes." Tang Ruoan gritted his teeth and said, "I really didn't expect that those bastards would let down Tian Rong and joined the White Lotus Sect and become bandits. The final investigation must be carried out strictly. As long as they were found out, they would all cut their heads!"

Listening to their constant begging, Tang Yi's face did not ease, but instead spoke even more harshly.

He suddenly threw the brush in his hand and hit Zu Xun's face, giving him a big face. He didn't dare to wipe it, so he could only hold it awkwardly.

"Two stupid talents, now, I don't know where the mistake is. It's hopeless!" Tang Yi cursed, "Do you think I am upset about the White Lotus Sect? Can mere bandits shake the iron-killed Jiubian? You who really make me sad, the court handed over the good Jiubian to you, thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of food and salary, what did you do? The owed food and salary, the soldiers were empty, the soldiers were not willing to fight, and the bandits were rampant. You look down and see, are you worthy of the official uniforms on your body? Are you worthy of the people who support you, and are you worthy of the villagers in Xuanfu?"

Tang Yi cursed for a quarter of an hour, and the two of them were said to have a red face, but they were not convinced. If you blame us, you will not be guilty. As expected, civil officials are all the same virtues. We generals are their spittoons and toilets, which are specially used to hold garbage!

The two of them were indignant. Tang Yi saw it and sneered, "Do you think I am going to blame you for all the charges? You are too underestimating me and too highly of yourself!"

Tang Yi changed the subject, "I was just watching the situation of the soldiers who defected to the White Lotus Sect and participated in the rebellion. Most of them surrendered to the outside world. There were very few local military households. Qianhu and Beiyu who participated in the rebellion have also risen in recent years and have little to do with the generals of the Xuanfu."

When it comes to military households, Tang Yi has to admire Zhu Yuanzhang's imagination. He probably believes that some people can serve as farmers for generations, while others can serve as soldiers for generations.

A million troops were formed in the Jiubian to settle and guard the border. In addition to the first two generations, the Jiubian's decline was beyond imagination. Now, most of the escapes, and more than half of the remaining ones have become tenants and even serfs. Not to mention the iron cavalry that dealt with Altan, even weapons have been lost.

What's even more terrible is that the soldiers have been passed down from generation to generation, and the generals have also been passed down from generation to generation. After more than a hundred years of development and intermarriage, the nine sides have formed a huge community of interests. They have their own lives. No matter who you send to be the governor or the general, the situation below will remain the same and it is difficult to shake any part of it.

Hearing Tang Yi's words, Zu Xun hurriedly said: "Mr. Governor, your old mirror is as bright as the sun and the moon. It is true that the local military households are still good, and there are problems with outsiders."

"Pooh!"

Tang Yi ignored his demeanor and spat hard.

"Don't be fool! You don't know why foreign soldiers are easily enslaved by the White Lotus Sect? Isn't it because some people exploit them too much? The local military households are mixed up, and everyone dares not act rashly, show mercy, and then they will slaughter the outsiders. The so-called officials force the people to rebel, you will force the soldiers to rebel! It's even more abominable!"

Zu Xun and Tang Ruoan were scolded and sweating profusely.

Tang Yi gritted his teeth. He really wanted to give orders to deal with both of them, but he also knew that Altan's army would arrive soon. When he was employed, he could not charge himself.

He sighed, "Get up."

The two of them were ashamed and ashamed, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.

"Oh, I have already written a memorial to apologize. I can't thank you for so many White Lotus Sects in Xuanfu!"

"Don't!" Tang Ruoan said hurriedly: "General, you have defeated the White Lotus Sect's rebellion when you first arrived. You have made no mistakes!"

Zu Xun also said: "That's right, the crime is not on you, it is on your ex!"

Tang Yi disagreed and said sarcastically: "I will push it to Mr. Jiang, and the old man can also push it to you. When will it be a leader? I have said that it should be my guilt and will never shirk it. But I hope you can also make a sigh of relief. As a seven-foot man, you can be the general, more or less capable, you can only eat free food and make money, right?"

Zu Xun is sweating, Tang Yi's mouth is so powerful, like a small knife, he poked it into the flesh.

"Mr. General, let me tell you the truth. Lao Tang and I were also climbing out of the dead when we were young. However, the evil nature of these nine sides is that of the generals of the generations, they have many sons and nephews, and they are incompatible with each other. We cannot command them. We set out rashly and the two armies faced each other. They ran away first. Later, when the court pursued the matter, the law did not blame the masses. The unlucky ones were still the leading generals, and we were helpless!"

Tang Yi snorted, "Don't complain to me. You don't dare to go out to fight. There is no problem fighting in Xuanfu, right?"

Zu Xun and Tang Ruoan looked at each other, gritted their teeth and nodded, "Of course it's okay, I just don't know what the Grandmaster wants us to do?"

"You don't need to know." Tang Yi said coldly: "Just concentrate your soldiers and tell them to be honest and obedient. This commander will be rewarded. If he is disobedient, he will be a bandit in the White Lotus Sect and will not be punished!"

The murderous aura was so great that the two of them shrank their necks and went to make arrangements in shame.

After sending them away, Tang Yi took two sips of tea, moistened his throat, and waved his hand again. Soon, Tan Guang and his two brothers came to Tang Yi with a fortune teller.

Tang Yi glanced at him and suddenly laughed, "Your name is Hou Tianju, right? You like fortune telling. The three words you explain to me are very wonderful. I also gave you a question. You are stuffed with rags in your mouth now. What is the word?"

Hou Tian raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly widened and filled with fear. His throat rose and moved constantly, and his arms were shaking desperately, making him look extremely frightened.

"Hahaha, it seems you have guessed it. Yes, holding a towel in your mouth is a hanging word. It's like you, you'd rather be stubborn and dare to be happy with me. Hanging you to death is a great kindness. Come on, drag him down!"

Someone agreed and dragged him down.

Tang Yi crossed his legs and smiled. A gust of fragrant wind blew over. Liuying held the tray and brought two side dishes. Yesterday, they both faced the rebellion outside together.

The shouts of killing echoed in my ears. Even the strongest heart would feel strong pressure. The two of them finally shared hardships. Especially at the last moment, when Liuying learned that Tang Yi was also sweating coldly, her heart was actually sweet. A man was willing to show his fragile side to you without reservation, which means that the relationship between the two people was extraordinary.

That layer of window paper has not been pierced yet, but it is also optional.

"Master, are you scaring people again?"

"How can I see it?"

Liuying smiled and said, "If you really want to kill someone, why should you meet him again!"

"Haha, you have learned deceitfulness, and you have a question for your teacher. There are two leaders of the White Lotus Sect in the city, one is Sun Daxing, who usually disguises himself as a chaos, and the other is Hou Tianju. He pretends to be a fortune teller. Sun Daxing has been executed by his teacher, and Hou Tianju is still there. Why is this?"

Liuying held her cheek with her hand, thought for a while, then had an idea and smiled and said, "Master, is this Hou Tianju smarter?"

Tang Yi laughed and praised: "You are really smart. Let's have a meal first. I guess after the meal, Hou Tianju should be honest."

There are two kinds of fools in the world. One is to deceive others and believe it himself, such as Sun Daxing, and the other is to be full of lies and fool others to believe it, but he does not take it seriously at all, such as Hou Tianju.

In his eyes, the White Lotus Sect was just a tool to help him realize his ambitions, rather than a persistence worth fighting for his life. At the critical moment of life and death, smart people like Hou Tianju often turned faster than expected.

Sure enough, halfway through the meal, Tan Guang took Hou Tianju back, and saw that his face was gray, as if his energy and spirit had been exhausted.

"Hou Tianju, do you understand?"

"I understand, sir, as long as you give the younger one a way out, the younger one is willing to do anything!"

Tang Yi smiled gently and said, "I knew you were a smart person. I would not treat you badly. As long as you are obedient and do what I said, you can go to Jiangnan and give you the county magistrate to inspect. Although the official position is not very high, Jiangnan is rich and far more oily than the Jiubian. If you do well, you will be promoted in the future."
