Chapter 122 Stability is paramount!

gentleman?

Only gentlemen are easy to deal with!

Half a month later.

Jiaozhou.

Yang Feng looked at Linghan, the censor of the right capital, whose beard had turned gray.

"Yes, these rumors are all true."

He said very frankly.

There was no need for the latter to go out of his way to investigate. The rumor that Yang Feng had beaten King Qi and seriously injured him had basically spread all over Shandong at this time, and was even said by the remnants of the White Lotus Sect that he was the reincarnation of Han Lin'er, who came to seek revenge from the Zhu family.

So first depose a vassal king, and then Yang Feng may lead his followers to bloodbath the Zhu family and rebuild the Song Dynasty.

The sun and moon reopen the Great Song Dynasty!

It's not just folk rumors, there is actually a group of bandits calling themselves the White Lotus Sect trying to attack Linqu in the mountainous area south of Qingzhou.

He also raised a banner to welcome King Ming.

Fortunately, the Qi Fan guards arrived quickly and after a fierce battle, dozens of people were beheaded. These bandits had to escape into the mountains and forests. However, the mountains were high and the forests were dense, so it was indeed impossible to eliminate them.

So we had to wait for Shandong Commander Zhou Fang to mobilize his troops.

In short, people in Shandong are now panicked.

Rumors abounded in various places, and even the gentry began to unite to protect themselves, as if a big chaos was about to happen. After all, the loyalty of this province to Zhu Yuanzhang was limited. He wanted to rule the north from the south, and those in the north had been ruled by foreigners for hundreds of years

The people of the year had no feelings for the emperor of the south...

The same goes for Han Chinese!

Ever since the Southern Song Dynasty when they sold them again and again, they had already been heartbroken for the Southern Emperor.

In short, the situation in Shandong is precarious.

In this case, Ling Han took a boat from Haizhou to the north and just arrived in Jiaozhou. He had already heard the truth of the incident locally. In fact, he had already heard about it before he came, but he was sure when he got here, but it surprised him.

Surprisingly, before he could continue the investigation and finalize the case, Yang Feng came directly to the door and confessed...

"I did it."

Yang Feng drank tea and said as if he had no intention of committing a treason.

"Someone coaxed the King of Qi, saying that I came to Shandong to deal with him, so he acted first and sent people to ambush me at Muling Pass. After failure, he mobilized cavalry to besiege me in Jiangyupu.

But it still failed.

His trusted guard general Chai Zhi was captured alive by me.

I generally don't hold grudges, and I will avenge them immediately, so I took Chai Zhi to find him and threw Chai Zhi in front of him. He was too impulsive, so he attacked me.

Then I beat him up.

In fact, I have restrained myself for his father's sake.

But I was still stunned.

However, my body has almost recovered now.

Not disfigured, but deaf in one ear, missing half of his teeth, and then stupid."

Yang Feng said.

He was also eating melon seeds while talking.

Ling Han looked at this little villain with deep eyes.

Telling him so calmly that he beat a feudal king like this is considered extremely arrogant.

"Ambassador, I have no authority to deal with this. I can only make this clear to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make a decision. There are no troops around me, and Your Majesty has not authorized me to mobilize troops. Therefore, I have to ask someone to arrest me."

He said slowly.

This old man is actually very respected by Zhu Yuanzhang.

He was one of the few civil servants of the Hongwu Dynasty who could achieve such a high position and die a good death. Zhu Yuanzhang respected him very much, but this was also related to his origin. He was a former warrior in Henan, which was controlled by the Southern Group in Hongwu.

The dynasty was very special. Because Henan was the main battlefield in the melee at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the population loss was extremely serious...

Of course, there wasn't much originally.

The prosperous place in the Northern Song Dynasty had already been reduced to pieces by the tug of war between the north and the south for hundreds of years.

During the Yuan Dynasty, there was not much population.

It can be said that three-quarters of the population of the Yuan Dynasty were in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, especially Jiangxi. One province alone accounted for a quarter of the country, which together was more than the entire north of the Huaihe River. As for Henan, the former population center of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was only slightly stronger than Sichuan.

. Equivalent to the Bianliang Fu Road that used to go to Fufu, with a total registered population of 180,000. You must know that Kaifeng City in the Song Dynasty had a registered population of 400,000. As for Henan Fu Road with Luoyang as its core, it is even more pitiful, with a total population of only more than 60,000.

Those who are registered here should know that this is the total of twelve counties.

Henan is experiencing continuous wars and is not Zhu Yuanzhang's base, so it is very rare to have a high-ranking official like him.

He is a symbol.

A symbol of the Ming Emperor's rule over Henan.

Zhu Yuanzhang was much more tolerant of northern ministers than he was of southern ministers.

It's because he wants to be gentle to the north.

"That is your responsibility, but I can also say clearly that I will not tie my hands.

Zhang Xianzong told me that Zhan Hui pushed you out to investigate this case because Zhan Hui calculated that I would rebel and resist, and you would definitely be killed by me. Obviously Zhan Hui guessed right. I am not a subject of your Ming Emperor.

Nor will he be loyal to the Ming Emperor. If his son wants to kill me, then I will beat his son into a fool. If he wants to kill me, then I will turn the Ming Dynasty upside down.

I have support from behind.

I still have those White Lotus followers who regard me as the reincarnation of King Ming to take advantage of.

I also have invincible military power.

Even if I can't conquer the world, in fact I have no interest in it, but there is still no problem in establishing a territory in Shandong to protect myself.

As for the rest, let’s continue playing.

Shandong has a population of several million, and the northern provinces have the largest population. There is no problem in squeezing out half a million soldiers if we try hard. Coupled with the firearms I know about later generations, and the supplies that my rear continues to send me.

enough.

The people of Shandong also had little loyalty to the Zhu family.

Then the troubled times in the north of the Ming Dynasty began."

Yang Feng was cracking melon seeds, as if to say how many dishes he had just eaten.

"The ambassador wants to scare the old man? The old man also crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Troubled times?

Have you ever seen real troubled times?"

Ling Han held the tea cup and sneered.

"Then you can climb it again. Your family belongs to Yuanwu. When Shandong breaks out, Henan will not be spared. There are also many White Lotus sects in Henan. Liu Futong and Han Lin'er used Kaifeng as their capital of the Song Dynasty. You

Do you think your clan, relatives, friends, and fellow villagers will once again fall into the chaos of mountains of corpses and seas of blood? How many will escape this disaster at that time?

I can guarantee that as long as you tell the truth, I will lead the White Lotus Sect in rebellion.

I have this ability.

Then why should I tie myself up?"

Yang Feng said.

After saying that, he stood up, picked up the teapot and poured Ling Han a cup of tea, then picked up his own, clinked the two cups of tea with himself, and then placed Ling Han's cup on the coffee table next to him...

"Ling Gong, here's to the last peace of the Ming Dynasty!"

he said.

After saying that, he drank his glass in one gulp, then turned around and left without looking back.

Ling Han was left silent there.

He knew that Yang Feng was trying to scare him, but the problem was that this guy really had this ability. Now the remnants of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong and even across the country were all rumoring that he was the reincarnation of King Ming.

And he is an invincible warrior.

He is also proficient in all kinds of new firearms, and he even taught them what the Ming army now uses.

Behind him is the Daxia Kingdom, which is said to be able to send him things. If such a person is forced to rebel and protect himself, he is really capable of separatist rule and even trigger a new chaos.

Troubled times of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

As an old man who has experienced a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, he really cherishes the current peaceful and stable days.

He didn't want to go through troubled times again.

But……
To be continued...
