Chapter 571.
After Xia Xuan said that, the boat dwellers responded with a roar.
Immediately, the rush began.
There were no chapters, no tricks or so-called tactics to speak of.
The good news is that the rebels across the street are, in fact, even worse.
The boat-dwellers were suddenly lifeless and started charging.
Various other people also covered up.
The rebels were in an uproar.
There are people in various places though who are negative.
The vast majority, however, have thrown away their armor and fled without life.
The scene was so chaotic that it was impossible for people to look at it directly.
The rebel camp is just around the corner.
It was a bit more heavily defended, and the boat-dwellers were about to be killed as they watched.
But at this moment, in that camp, there was actually the sound of firecrackers.
Just then, a few gunshots rang out, which in turn taught the boat-dwelling folk to panic a bit.
Xia Xuan shouted at this time, “This is a firecracker, not a cannon; the head of the thieves is at hand.”
The crowd perked up.
Xia Xuan chopped down one person first, and when that person wailed, Xia Xuan grabbed that person and shouted, “What’s going on inside? Where is your leader?”
This person’s body blood moistened, has long been scared bloodless, open eyes full of fear, period, “In …… in …… in enthroned… …”
At these words, Xia Xuan froze.
A distant glance up at that great camp.
Then he looked down at the pitiful rebel thief and said, “Enthrone, enthrone what ……”
“After ascending the throne as emperor and saying that …… saying that …… after ascending the throne, then …… then… …”
Xia Xuan’s body shook.
Wu Er behind him also revealed a strange expression.
Of course, this is a situation that may not be understood by others, but can be largely understood by those who have read the book.
Many rebels tend to be desperate and instead perform some godlike maneuvers.
For example, …… ascended to the throne as emperor.
Such a practice is nothing more than living the emperor’s life before dying.
At the same time, there seems to be a desire to turn things around by operating in this way.
In addition to this, it is the use of this to carry out a large-scale seal of approval, so as to recruit people’s hearts in this life-and-death situation.
But no matter what any reason is, at this juncture, it is still tightly carrying out the enthronement, or let Xia Xuan feel a little …… funny.
Wu Er shouted, “Kill in ……”
Xia Xuan suddenly said, “Slow down, teach the brethren to charge slower.”
Wu Er was puzzled, “Mr. Xia …… this is ……”
Although Xia Xuan was a teenager, when he was at home, he was also regarded as frivolous and loose by his own father.
But after all, he has seen the world, at this time, he has an indescribable complex look.
He yanked Wu Er with a hand and said, “Wait until their ascension to the throne is complete.”
Wu Er froze, and for a moment gave Xia Xuan’s words some confusion, so he said, “Mr. Xia, I’m afraid …… that I’ll miss the moment ……”
Xia Xuan, however, shook his head, his voice trembling, and said, “Beheading the head of a rebel is not the same as beheading the head of a false emperor ……”
After a pause, Xia Xuan continued, “If this thief makes a big deal about being crowned again, then …… beheading a group of thieves and bandits is very different from beheading the heads of a group of princes and dukes, even if he is a fake.”
Wu Er: “……”
Xia Xuan said, “Let’s teach our brethren to slow down and continue to kill on the periphery, and when the time is almost right, we’ll charge in again and teach them to have a good time. If you listen to me, you won’t go wrong.”
Wu Er was truthful and directly nodded, “Mr. Xia has a better brain than me and must be thorough. Then listen to Mr. Xia.”
So Wu Er shouted and led a sweep around the perimeter.
The more this outside kills, the more urgent the cannonballs in the camp.
Until a little more than half an hour had passed, the thieves were almost swept away, and it looked as if various other people were about to kill them.
Xia Xuan and Wu Er didn’t hesitate any longer, and as soon as their horses took the lead, they rushed straight into the camp.
And this camp, has been a mess, that yellow cloth wrapped tent, early someone cloaked, holding a sword, but wearing a costume, appear particularly eye-catching.
Yes, this person is wearing an authentic costume, with a comical and ridiculous emperor s crown, of course …… the theater troupe in order to ensure that it is not taboo, and thus this emperor s crown is even more exaggerated, and the real emperor s crown is still very different.
This person trembling, behind a group of people hiding in the corner of the tent, also one by one wearing various colors of costumes, at this time actually all body as sieve chaff, the atmosphere does not dare to come out.
Xia Xuan coldly swept a glance at the crowd and stepped forward, seeing a ‘holy decree’ scattered on the ground.
Immediately picked up, squinting, then see the ground so-called Emperor of Song system said, ascended the foundation to build the Yuan, by the sky to discuss the Ming, sealing seventy-two meritorious ministers, and promised to the king’s title.
There were also the right and left prime ministers, the ministers of the six ministries, the generals, the grand secretary of state, and the grand secretary of state.
There were even various edicts for crown princes, princes, and so on and so forth.
Xia Xuan said expressionlessly, “Which one is the so-called Great Song Emperor in there?”
The cloaked man, didn’t move a muscle, but someone in the corner immediately pointed a finger at the cloaked man.
Xia Xuan was calm and only glanced at the man, seeing that the man was plainly born, but still said, “Which is the Guiyi King at the head here?”
Words fall, immediately someone rushed out, directly worship, hurriedly exclaimed: “with me have nothing to do with, it is he must be sealed, the student early said that this return to the king of the three words unlucky, bad luck.”
Still ignoring him, Xia Xuan added, “What about the Loyal General King?”
A man in a Bright Light Armor-like costume snapped and bowed down, hanging his head low, “It’s none of my business.”
Xia Xuan said, “And the Prime Minister, which one is the Prime Minister?”
The man previously known as the Returning Righteous King was trembling with fear and soul, but he stammered, “I …… I ……”
Xia Xuan blushed oddly and raised an eyebrow, “Aren’t you the King of Returning Righteousness?”
“It’s a part-time job …… It’s a part-time job ……” said King Guiyi, “There’s a lack of manpower… …”
Xia Xuan didn’t pursue this any further, but said, “Which one is the Crown Prince?”
This Guiyi King s face is like a dead gray, but he is hoarse and said, “Still …… still a student.”
Xia Xuan looked at him and then at the cloaked man, and finally couldn’t help but say, “You are his son, but I see that you seem to be of the same age.”
King Guiyi was about to cry out, “I don’t know.”
Xia Xuan then glanced at that so-called Great Song Emperor, and glanced down at King Guiyi: “I didn’t expect there to be eunuchs here, that’s a rarity, which one of these eunuchs in charge of the Palace of Ceremonies, which one of them is it?”
King Guiyi’s tears flowed down, “Still a student ……”
Xia Xuan was shocked and said, “What’s the reason for this?”
To be honest, to this point, Xia Xuan inwardly, even the indignation is no longer, although it is these rebels, destroyed the post, disturbed him and Deng Da latent for so long, these days, teach him to hold a stomach of anger.
King Guiyi said, “Your Majesty …… no, he …… he ……”
He pointed to the Great Song Emperor, and then said, “He said that he is familiar with me on weekdays, and that other people can’t be trusted, so he had to teach me to be more patient ……”
Xia Xuan’s mood at this time could be said to be speechless, so he said, ”You guys are really close friends. Later on, on the prison wagon, lock them up together. When you go to the Yellow Springs together, you’ll always have something to look after.”
Immediately, a group of boat dwellers tied up all the people inside.
Soon, that Deng Da also led a group of people to come, and Xia Xuan pulled him aside and took the imperial decree, as well as all kinds of so-called ’emperor’s ceremonies’ to show Deng Da.
Dunda actually looked jaw-dropped.
“Mr. and Mrs. ……”
At this time, Wu Er is in a hurry to say: “There is something here …… almost teach people to destroy, fortunately for me to see.”
Deng Da and Xia Xuan were then led by Wu Er to another tent, but inside, there were boxes of letters.
Deng Da frowned up, casually took a letter, only a cursory look, the heart will have a number, faintly said, “This is some officials and scholars to pass the letters of the thief.”
Xia Xuan had encountered too many things today, and for a moment, she hadn’t been able to consume them.
Looking at so many letters, he didn’t understand them at first, but soon, it slowly dawned on him.
Some people may actually have their hearts turned toward the rebels and are pointing to the rebels being able to fight their way through.
Others, who should have seen such a great noise, thought that the Great Ming might have run out of gas, so they speculated beforehand.
Naturally, it is not inevitable that some people, want to step on two boats, on the one hand, to do his Daming loyalists and good people, but if the rebels kill, but also give themselves a way back.
Of course, they must also have never imagined that this Great Song Emperor was also a ruthless man.
This Great Song Emperor, it is said that he is still a lifer origin, is also considered to be a reader, on the subject of playing heart eyes, who can compare to this reader.
Consequently, all the letters, naturally, he laughed at them, and stored them away.
Obviously …… it is to wait for the day, using these letters, to coerce these people to follow their own rebellion.
Both sides of each other, so to speak, are playing mind games, and in the belly of each, there is a reckoning.
“Seal it up, and later, unload it all together to the capital.”
After Deng Da explained, he added: “These letters, must act in secrecy. Xiaoxia, you personally go to escort, along the way to fast horse whip, but these rebels, can slowly escort to. Otherwise …… once teach people to know, we have so many letters, many people are afraid to sit down, then …… who knows what will not be born again.”
Xia Xuan nodded and said, “Then, I’ll leave tomorrow.”
Deng Da, however, shook his head, and after a deep look at Xia Xuan, he said, “It’s better not to be late, and the later it is, the better it is to set out now, and use the post office’s fast horses, we are the Postal Department’s people, and it’s more convenient to deploy them, this is too big, and the more we delay it, the more likely it is that it will change.”
Hearing this, Xia Xuan pondered a little and also understood the importance of this timing, so he said, “Alright, listen to Chief Official Deng.”
Dundar, however, added, “There is one more thing ……”
He thought for a moment and said, “At first we but promised the boat-dwelling people and so many people, and so you enter the capital, if you can have the honor of seeing His Highness the King of Song, be sure to …… make this matter clear to explain, you and I have a small merit, but the breach of trust is a big thing.”
Xia Xuan nodded, “Don’t worry, Elder Official, I know what’s in my heart.”
Dunda didn’t forget to urge, “Be careful along the way.”
After the two of them had conferred, Xia Xuan only went to take a short nap, and then started off.
On the other hand, Deng Da Ren and others, played the post office in Fuzhou city, and asked the post office side to step in and gather all the postmen, and then try to find a way to accommodate the militia groups that came with them.
Fuzhou city, many people but the five internal mixed feelings, some people are relieved, some people can not help but regret in the heart.
But more than that, it’s the one that can’t help but breed shock inside.
This vast rebellion was pacified in the twinkling of an eye.
So much wind, and now …… there is nothing left.
As for the militia groups outside the city, while they certainly could not be called well-trained, they were all housed outside the city and did not breed any chaos.
Fujian Buzhengzhi Secretary Buzhengzhi, would have liked to call the post office to inquire about the state of affairs, make a gesture of treat to, but unfortunately, the post office does not want to pay attention to him, self-care to go to maintain order.
The capital, on the other hand, is made anxious by the summer heat.
This agitation comes more from the rebellions in many places.
Rebellion occurs, the court remains motionless, all kinds of bad news into the capital, so that many people who are already agitated, more and more agitated.
In the face of these rumors and gossips, the court did not make any further moves.
On the contrary, Zhang Anshi, although he had been staying in the Song King’s residence, was now like an ant on a hot pan.
He was expecting news to come; after all, this time, he had also taken a big gamble that the local area could keep things going on its own.
After all, …… if we only rely on the elite model battalion to bounce around, it is not only time consuming and laborious, but also under the fatigue, it is bound to cause problems.
This would cause the court to weigh the right and the left and have to ultimately opt for appeasement of these rising and falling rebellions.
It is for this reason that he has been pressing on.
But the question is, what if instead of solving the problem, it makes it worse?
Once this happens, then, not only the court may change its previous suppression to pacification, but the pacification will also definitely slow down the implementation of the new policy.
On the other hand, Zhang Anshi, as the commander-in-chief of this counter-insurgency, might also be impeached for sitting out the battle and thus being impeached.
Zhang Anshi is of course not afraid of impeachment, but letting the rebels grow bigger is in itself hard to blame.
“Your Highness, Secretary Hu Mu seeks an audience.”
“Oh?” Zhang Anshi’s eyes brightened a few moments later, saying, “Quickly please.”
Not long after, Hu Mu hurriedly came, he also knew well that Zhang Anshi had been anxiously waiting for news, when he saw Zhang Anshi, he couldn’t wait to say, “Your Highness, there is news.”
At these words, Zhang Anshi’s eyes snapped open and lifted his spirits, “What news?”
Hu Mu also no nonsense, directly said: “Fujian side, came the news, all over the post, has recruited people to quell the rebellion, it seems that things are very smooth.”
“Yes?” Zhang Anshi shook his spirit, then asked, “Where is the report?”
Hu Mu said, “On the side of the Brocade Guards, some news has been passed on, and in addition to that, at the post station in Quanzhou, someone has also sent news by fast horse.”
Zhang Anshi listened, but still with a nervous face: “Is the news accurate?”
“This …… is not good to say.” Nowadays Hu Mu has experienced more, since it is also very cautious, thought for a moment and said, “Right now there is no exact news to come, but …… if the news is exact, it should soon come to more news, to corroborate it, it should be … …”
Zhang Anshi breathed out and said, “Now there is everything to say, all kinds of news flying all over the place, and there is also a similar report coming from the Jinyiwei side. However, before there is no news to be sure, but also do not dare to be convinced.”
Hu Mu seems to think of something, and said, “Guangxi side, there is also news …… that many militia groups …… have already moved.”
Zhang Anshi nodded and said, “If this is true, then …… it will really be a blessing for the national dynasty.”
“Fortune of the national dynasty?” Hu Mu looked at Zhang Anshi strangely, not being able to read the deeper meaning in Zhang Anshi’s words for a while.
Zhang Anshi glanced at him and said, “If this information is exact, this shows that enlisting the people of the world is the right thing to do.”
Hu Mu frowned and said, “My humble servant still doesn’t understand what Your Highness means.”
Zhang Anshi looked at Hu Mu this face seriously look, is to appreciate Hu Mu this do not understand the nature of the question, then smiled and said: “Since the dynasties, no matter what the court, the use of the art of ruling the world, or such as the pre-Qin Dynasty, like, enlisting the vassals, or the same as the Wei and Jin, enlisting the clan. To the Great Song and Great Ming, is to enlist the scholar to rule the world.”
“This is so, this is because, such an approach, low cost, quick results. Just by enlisting a few people in the district, the world can be stabilized, so what’s wrong with that?”
“That’s why, starting in the Song Dynasty, there was the saying that the emperor and the scholarly men ruled the world together. Even in the current dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao fixed the world with the Huaiyu Buyei and resented the scholars, but in the end, he was not exempt from this.”
“But such an approach is also fraught with drawbacks, for on the surface, the court can enlist the scholars at a relatively small cost, but in reality, the appetite of these people is insatiable, and what they want to get is far beyond what the court can give them. The court gave them tax breaks on their land, but they would not be satisfied and would choose to hide their land. The court allowed their families to be exempted from labor service, so they took a large number of people into their residences by offering them sacrifices. When the court teaches them to be officials, they hold together and resist all state policies that jeopardize them.”
Zhang Anshi paused, continued: “so hard to fill, a long time, the court to pay the cost, will only get higher and higher. At this time, rather than so, it would be better to enlist the world’s military and civilian people, you know, although the military and civilian people, but they are more likely to be satisfied, you gift a scholar official position, fields, slaves, he may also feel that the court gave too little, not only will not feel that this is grace, but will hate you. But even if you grant the people even one acre of field and give them a mouthful of food, they will be grateful to you.”
“It’s time to settle this score.”
Speaking here, the expression on Zhang Anshi’s face gradually became solemn for a few moments, saying, “Take advantage of this time to settle this account for His Majesty, then the state policy against this world may have to be changed.”
Hu Mu was even more puzzled, and could not help but say, “Now the New Deal, there are still deficiencies?”
Hearing this, the solemnity on Zhang Anshi’s face dissipated and he smiled and said, “Inadequate places, there are many, where in the world is there anything perfect.”

Yesterday, I brought my small child to Guangzhou for a bit of treatment, which delayed the update, this is yesterday’s, and today’s is still available.
