After Xia Xuan said this, the villagers responded loudly.
Immediately, the killing began.
There are no rules, techniques or so-called tactics to speak of.
The good news is that the rebels on the opposite side are actually even worse.
The villagers suddenly lost their lives and began to charge and kill.
Other people from all walks of life also rushed to cover up and kill him.
The rebels were immediately in chaos.
Although there are people everywhere who are stubbornly resisting.
But the vast majority of people abandoned their armor and fled without their lives.
The chaos of the scene makes it difficult for people to look straight at it.
The rebel camp is right in front of you.
The defense here is much tighter, and it seems that the gangsters are about to attack.
But at this moment, the sound of firecrackers came from the camp.
At this moment, several cannons were fired, which made the villagers panic a little.
Xia Xuan shouted at this time: "These are firecrackers, not artillery. The leader of the thief is right in front of you."
Everyone cheered up.
Xia Xuan chopped down one person first, and the person wailed. Xia Xuan grabbed the person and shouted: "What is going on inside? Where is your leader?"
There was blood all over this man's body, and his face was pale with fear. He opened his eyes full of fear and said, "I'm... I'm... I'm ascending the throne..."
As soon as these words came out, Xia Xuan was stunned.
Look up and look at the camp in the distance.
Then he looked down at the pitiful traitor and said: "Ascension to the throne, what throne to ascend to..."
"When you ascend the throne and become the emperor, you say... you say... after you ascend the throne, you... you..."
Xia Xuan's body was shaken.
Wu Er behind him also showed a strange expression.
Of course, other people may not understand this situation, but those who have read the book can generally understand it.
Many rebels often perform some magical operations when they are desperate.
For example... ascending the throne as emperor.
This kind of approach is nothing more than having an emperor's addiction before death.
At the same time, it seems that they hope to turn things around through such operations.
In addition, it is used to carry out large-scale official appointments and wishes, so as to attract people's hearts at this critical moment of life and death.
But no matter what the reason was, at this juncture, Xia Xuan still felt a bit... funny that the enthronement was still being carried out in full swing.
Wu Er shouted: "Fight in..."
Xia Xuan suddenly said: "Wait a minute, teach the brothers to kill more slowly."
Wu Er said in confusion: "Mr. Xia... this is..."
Although Xia Xuan was a teenager, she was considered frivolous and dissolute by her father at home.
But after all, he has seen the big world, but at this moment, he has an indescribably complicated look.
He grabbed Wu Er and said, "We'll wait until their enthronement is completed."
Wu Er was stunned, and for a moment he was confused by Xia Xuan's words, so he said: "Mr. Xia, I'm afraid... I'll miss the opportunity..."
Xia Xuan shook his head, his voice trembling, and said: "Beheading a traitor is different from beheading a false emperor..."
After a pause, Xia Xuan continued: "If this thief were to arbitrarily crown himself a king, then...beheading a group of thieves would be very different from beheading a group of princes, even if he is a fake."
Wu Er: "..."
Xia Xuan said: "Teach the brothers to slow down and continue to attack on the outside. When the time is almost up, we will rush in again and teach them how to have fun. Just listen to me and you will not go wrong."
Wu Er was honest and said directly: "Mr. Xia is smarter than me, so he must be thorough. Then listen to Mr. Xia."
So Wu Er shouted and led his people to sweep around.
The more fierce the killing outside, the more urgent the firecrackers in the camp will be.
By the time half an hour passed, the thieves were almost wiped out, and other people were about to arrive.
Xia Xuan and Wu Er did not hesitate, took the lead, and rushed directly into the camp.
The camp was already in a mess. Inside the tent wrapped in yellow cloth, there were already people with disheveled hair, holding a sword, but wearing costumes, which made them stand out.
Yes, this person is wearing an authentic costume and a ridiculous emperor's crown. Of course... the troupe wanted to ensure that no taboos were violated, so the emperor's crown was even more exaggerated, and it was still very different from the real emperor's crown.
Differentiated.
This man was trembling with fear, and behind him there was a group of people hiding in the corner of the big tent, all of them wearing costumes of various colors. At this time, they were all like chaff, and they didn't dare to show their anger.
Xia Xuan glanced at everyone coldly, took a step forward, and saw an 'imperial edict' scattered on the ground.
He immediately picked it up, squinted his eyes, and saw the so-called "Emperor System of the Song Dynasty" on the ground. He ascended the throne and founded the Yuan Dynasty, worshiped the emperor for enlightenment, granted seventy-two meritorious officials, and promised him the title of king.
There are also the left and right prime ministers, the six ministers, the great general, the great Sima, and the great Sikong.
There are even various edicts such as princes and princes.
Xia Xuan said expressionlessly: "Which one is the so-called Emperor of the Song Dynasty?"
The man with disheveled hair was motionless, but someone in the corner immediately pointed a finger at the man with disheveled hair.
Xia Xuan was very calm and only glanced at this man. Seeing that his life was ordinary, he still said: "Who is the King of Guiyi here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed out, knelt down directly, and shouted hurriedly: "It has nothing to do with me, he insists on granting me the title. The students have long said that the three characters "King Guiyi" are unlucky and bad luck.
Xia Xuan still ignored him and said, "What about the loyal and righteous General Wang?"
A man wearing a Mingguang armor-like costume bowed down, lowered his head and said, "It's none of my business."
Xia Xuan said: "There is also the Prime Minister, who is the Prime Minister?"
The man who was known as King Guiyi before was trembling with fear and distraught, but he stammered: "I...I..."
Xia Xuan looked strange and raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you King Guiyi?"
"This is a concurrent role... It is a concurrent role..." King Guiyi said: "There is a lack of manpower..."
Xia Xuan did not pursue this further, but asked: "Which one is the prince?"
The face of King Guiyi was ashen, but he said hoarsely: "Still... still a student."
Xia Xuan looked at him, then at the disheveled man, and finally couldn't help but said: "You are his son, but I think you two are the same."
King Guiyi was about to cry: "I don't know."
Xia Xuan then glanced at the so-called Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and then looked down at King Guiyi: "I didn't expect there to be eunuchs here, which is quite rare. Who is this eunuch who is the Chief of Ceremonies?"
King Guiyi burst into tears: "I'm still a student..."
Xia Xuan was shocked and said, "Why is this?"
To be honest, at this point, Xia Xuan didn't even have any resentment in his heart. Although it was these traitors who destroyed the inn and made him and Deng Da hide for so long, these days taught him to hold back.
Full of anger.
King Guiyi said: "Your Majesty... no, he... he..."
He pointed at the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and then said: "He said that he is familiar with me on weekdays and that other people cannot be trusted, so he had to teach me to be more tolerant..."
Xia Xuan was speechless at this time and said: "You are really close friends. We will lock them together in the prison car later. When we go to Huangquan Road together, there will always be someone to take care of you."
Immediately, a group of gangsters tied up all the people inside.
Soon, Deng Da also came with a group of people. Xia Xuan pulled him aside and took the imperial edict and various so-called 'emperor's honor guards' for Deng Da to see.
Deng Da was also dumbfounded.
"Two gentlemen..."
At this moment, Wu Er came over in a hurry and said: "There is something here... I almost destroyed it, but luckily I saw it."
Deng Da and Xia Xuan were led by Wu Er to another tent, where they saw boxes of letters.
Deng Da frowned and picked up a letter. After a quick glance, he knew it in his heart and said calmly: "This is a letter from some officials and scholars colluding with thieves."
Xia Xuan encountered too many things today, and for a while, she couldn't bear it.
After reading so many letters, he didn't understand it at first, but soon he gradually understood it.
Some people may really support the rebels in their hearts and point out that they can fight against them.
There are also people who, seeing such a huge momentum, thought that the Ming Dynasty might have run out of energy, so they speculated in advance.
Naturally, there are people who want to tread two boats. On the one hand, they want to be loyal ministers and good citizens of the Ming Dynasty, but if the rebels come, they also want to give themselves a way out.
Of course, they must have never imagined that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was also a ruthless person.
It is said that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was a scholar and could be regarded as a scholar. When it comes to being naughty, who can compare with this scholar.
Therefore, he naturally accepted all the letters and stored them.
Obviously... just waiting to use these letters one day to coerce these people to follow him in rebellion.
It can be said that both sides are playing tricks on each other, and everyone has a plan in their mind.
"Seal it up and send it to the capital later."
After Deng Da explained, he added: "These letters must be kept confidential. Xiaoxia, you go to escort them in person and work hard along the way. However, these traitors can be escorted slowly. Otherwise... Once others know, we will have it."
With so many letters, many people are afraid that they will be unable to sit still, and by then...who knows if there will be any complications."
Xia Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow."
Deng Da shook his head, took a deep look at Xia Xuan, and said: "It's not too late, as things may change later, it's best to start now and use the fast horses of the Post Office. We are from the Postal Department, so it is easier to mobilize.
This matter is too big, and the longer it is delayed, the more likely it is to change."
After hearing this, Xia Xuan pondered for a moment and understood the importance of this time, so he said: "Okay, listen to Chief Deng."
But Deng Da added: "There is one more thing..."
He thought for a while and said: "At the beginning, we promised the Dan people and so many people that after you enter the capital, if you are lucky enough to meet His Highness the King of Song, you must... explain this matter clearly. It is your and my credit.
It’s a small thing, but breaking trust is a big deal.”
Xia Xuan nodded: "Chief officials, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Deng Da never forgot to warn: "Be careful along the way."
After the two discussed it, Xia Xuan only went to take a nap for a while, and then started to set off.
On the other side, Deng Daren and others petitioned the post office in Fuzhou City to come forward and summon all the postmen, and then find a way to arrange the accompanying militia.
In Fuzhou City, many people were mixed. Some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others couldn't help feeling regretful.
But more than anything, it is unavoidable that the heart is filled with shock.
This massive rebellion was put down in the blink of an eye.
Such a huge limelight, but now... there is nothing left.
As for the militia groups outside the city, although they are not well-trained, they are all settled outside the city and have not caused any trouble.
The Chief Envoy of Fujian, the Chief Envoy, originally wanted to call someone from the post office to inquire about the situation and make a gesture of reward. Unfortunately, the post office did not want to pay attention to him and went to maintain order on its own.
At this time, the capital city was making people anxious due to the scorching summer heat.
This anxiety comes more from rebellions in many places.
The rebellion broke out, but the imperial court remained stationary. All kinds of bad news spread into the capital, making many already restless people even more restless.
Faced with these rumors, the court did not take any further action.
On the other hand, Zhang Anshi, although he has been staying in the Song Dynasty Prince's Mansion, is now like an ant on a hot pot.
He was looking forward to the news. After all, this time, he also made a huge gamble. The bet was that the local area could maintain the situation on its own.
After all... if we only rely on the elite model battalion to suppress everyone, it will not only be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also exhausting, which will definitely cause problems.
This would force the imperial court to weigh the various rebellions and ultimately choose appeasement.
Because of this, he has been standing still.
But the problem is, what if instead of solving the problem, it actually makes the problem worse?
Once this happens, not only may the imperial court change its previous suppression to appeasement, but appeasement will also definitely slow down the implementation of the New Deal.
On the other hand, Zhang Anshi, as the commander-in-chief of this counter-rebellion, may also be impeached because he missed the opportunity to fight.
Of course Zhang Anshi is not afraid of impeachment, but he can hardly absolve himself of the blame for allowing the traitors to grow bigger.
"Your Highness, Secretary Hu Mu would like to see you."
"Oh?" Zhang Anshi's eyes suddenly brightened a little, and he said: "Please come quickly."
Not long after, Hu Mu came in a hurry. He also knew that Zhang Anshi had been eagerly waiting for news. When he saw Zhang Anshi, he couldn't wait to say: "Your Highness, there is news."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Anshi opened his eyes suddenly and said with excitement: "What news?"
Hu Mu didn't waste any time and said directly: "There is news from Fujian that the stations in various places have recruited people to put down the rebellion. It seems that things are going very well."
"Really?" Zhang Anshi cheered up and asked: "Where is the report?"
Hu Mu said: "There is some news coming from the Jinyiwei side. In addition, someone from the post station in Quanzhou has also sent news quickly."
After Zhang Anshi heard this, he still looked nervous: "Is the news accurate?"
"It's... hard to say." Nowadays, Hu Mu has experienced more and is very cautious. He thought for a while and said: "There is no definite news yet, but... if the news is accurate, it should come soon.
If more information is available to confirm it, it should be..."
Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Everything can be said now. All kinds of news are flying all over the sky. There are also similar reports from Jin Yiwei. However, I don't dare to believe it until the news is confirmed."
Hu Mu seemed to have thought of something, and added: "There is also news from Guangxi... that many militia groups... have already taken action."
Zhang Anshi nodded and said: "If this is true, then... it will really be a blessing for the country."
"The luck of the country?" Hu Mu looked at Zhang Anshi strangely, and for a while he couldn't understand the deep meaning of Zhang Anshi's words.
Zhang Anshi glanced at him and said: "If these information are accurate, it means that it is correct to win over the people of the world."
Hu Mu frowned and said, "I still don't understand what His Highness means."
Zhang Anshi looked at the serious look on Hu Mu's face, but he admired Hu Mu's temperament of asking questions when he didn't understand, so he smiled and said: "Throughout the dynasties, no matter what the court, the techniques used to govern the world are as good as those of the pre-Qin Dynasty.
It was like that at that time, it was to win over the princes, or it was like the Wei and Jin Dynasties, to win over the families. In the Song and Ming Dynasties, it was to win over the scholars to rule the world."
"The reason why this is so is because this method is low-cost and quick-effective. As long as you win over a few people, you can make the world stable. Why not?"
"That's why since the Song Dynasty, there has been a saying that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together. Even in this dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao ruled the world with the commoners of Huaiyou and resented the scholars, but in the end he could not escape the common custom."
"But this approach is also full of disadvantages, because on the surface, the court can win over the scholars at a relatively low cost, but in fact, these people's appetites are insatiable, and what they want to get is far away.
beyond what the imperial court could give them. The land given to them by the imperial court was
Tax exemptions, but they would not be satisfied, but would choose to hide the land. The imperial court allowed their families not to do corvee service, so they brought a large number of people into their mansions by donating money. The imperial court taught them to be officials.
They then banded together to resist all national policies that harmed them."
Zhang Anshi paused and continued: "Such desires are hard to satisfy. As time goes by, the cost paid by the court will only get higher and higher. At this time, instead of doing this, it is better to win over the soldiers and civilians all over the world. You must know that although there are many soldiers, civilians and civilians,
But they are more likely to be satisfied, you
If you give a scholar an official position, land, and slaves, he may still feel that the court has given him too little. Instead of thinking it is a favor, he will hate you. But even if you give the people even one acre of land and give them a bite to eat
, they will be grateful to you."
"It's time to settle this account carefully."
Having said this, the expression on Zhang Anshi's face gradually became a little solemn, and he said: "At this time, I will let Your Majesty settle this account clearly, and then the national policy for this world may have to be changed."
Hu Mu was even more puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Are there any shortcomings in the current New Deal?"
Hearing this, the solemn look on Zhang Anshi's face disappeared, and he smiled and said: "There are too many shortcomings. There is nothing perfect in this world."
