Chapter 108 Shaanxi Civil Revolt(2/2)

Although Wang Pu was a military general, he was not under the jurisdiction of Wei Daben in terms of the system of civil officials and military generals, Wang Pu's current identity is Ding You's Ming Dynasty prince consort at home, not a Beijing camp admiral, and Wei Daben was the prefect of Datong Prefecture, so the matter of urging Wang Pu to reunite with him, Wei Daben.

"Mr. Prince Consort?" Wei Daben walked to the pit and called softly, "Mr. Prince Consort? Wei Daben is here."

"Ah? Oh um..." Wang Pu opened his sour eyes, squeezed down two pieces of yellow and turbid eye poop, and said in an vague voice, "Is it Eunuch Zhang?"

Wei Daben looked miserable, thinking that even the prince consort could not recognize who he was. It seemed that he was really terminally ill, so he turned around and said to Chen Yuanyuan: "Madam, I have invited Liu Yezi, the best famous doctor in Shanxi to the prince consort. Do you think you will ask Doctor Liu to treat the prince consort's pulse now?"

Chen Yuanyuan wiped her tears, bowed to Liu Yezi, and said sadly: "Then it will be a blessing for Doctor Liu."

"Don't dare."

The 50-year-old miracle doctor Liu Yezi clasped his fists and returned the gift. Then he walked to the pit and sat down. He put down the medicine box with him on the pit table. Chen Yuanyuan quickly stepped forward and moved Wang Pu's right hand out of the quilt. Liu Yezi took Wang Pu's right hand and stretched out his food. In the middle, Wuming's three fingers gently pressed on Wang Pu's wrist and began to diagnose the pulse.

In less than a moment, the face of the miraculous doctor Liu Yezi changed.

Wei Daben asked nervously: "Doctor Liu, how is the condition of the prince-consin?"

Liu Yezi let go of her hand and said, "Mr. Wei, can you speak with me?"

Wei Daben sued Chen Yuanyuan and accompanied Dr. Liu out of the warm pavilion, then asked in a low voice: "Doctor Liu. How is the condition of the prince consort?"

Doctor Liu sighed and said, "Mr. Wei, I really can't diagnose what the prince consort has."

"Ah?" Wei Daben said in surprise, "Even you don't know what disease is the prince consort?"

Doctor Liu nodded and said, "The prince consort's vein is sometimes deep and sometimes floating. It is sometimes slow and sometimes rapid, sometimes weak and sometimes solid, sometimes intermittent. I have been practicing medicine for more than 40 years. My son consort's face is blue in yellow, his tongue is yellow and thick and unclean, his tone is foul, and his nails are also blue in blue. All these seem to indicate that the prince consort's life is about to end, but I listen to his words and observe his actions, but I feel that his vitality is still strong. Incredible, incredible!"

"This..." Wei Daben was embarrassed, "How can I report this to me?"

Wei Daben was indeed in a difficult situation because Wang Pu is the current son-in-law. This matter involves Princess Changping and the emperor's face. Even if the son-in-law really gets sick, some words cannot be said randomly. Maybe he will offend some people inadvertently. His career prospects may be overwhelmed.

Wei Daben thought about it again and again, and had to submit another memorial: "The prince-in-law is sick again. He is not good at doing anything."

Wang Pu Warm Pavilion.

When Wei Daben and Liu Yezi left, Wang Pu turned over and sat up from the pit, shouting: "My grandma, go get water quickly, get water quickly."

"General, I have prepared it for you." As the young lady said, she handed the mouthwash that had been prepared long ago to Wang Pu. Wang Pu took it and poured it into her mouth. When the young lady got closer, she smelled a stinky stench. She couldn't help but wrinkle her cute nose and asked in a delicate voice, "General, what is Dad Li spilling into your mouth? Why is the smell so unpleasant?"

"Who knows?" Wang Pu rinsed three times before he felt a little more uncomfortable in his mouth. He said angrily, "It's so stinking."

Chen Yuanyuan personally brought a basin of water to Wang Pu, put the towel in hot water and wrung it dry, and said softly: "My husband, please wipe your face too. It looks so scary."

"Hey." Wang Pu took the towel and wiped his face, and said, "I don't know if Dad Li's tricks can be hidden from that magic Doctor Liu. I hope it's better not to reveal the stuff."

Chen Yuanyuan said: "Dad Li is a descendant of Li Shizhen, a miracle doctor in the Ming Dynasty. He has excellent medical skills. How could that miracle doctor Liu see through Mr. Li's methods?"

"What?" Wang Pu said in surprise, "Dad Li is a descendant of Li Shizhen, why don't I know?"

Chen Yuanyuan smiled sweetly and said softly: "Dad Li is not a person who loves false reputation. Of course, you don't want to ask him. My husband accidentally saw the words Li Shizhen written on a medical book, and then I realized that Dad Li was a descendant of the famous doctor Li Shizhen."

"No wonder." Wang Pu said astonished, "No wonder Dad Li can even cure that woman's illness."

What Wang Pu said was naturally Huang Taiji's favorite concubine, Chen Fei Hai Lanzhu. When Wang Pu led his troops to Shengjing, Hai Lanzhu was already terminally ill. He was about to survive in a few days, but Dad Li pulled her back from the gate of hell. At that time, Dad Li said that it was because of riding a horse that shattered the blood and blood in her chest. Now it seems that things are not that simple. It is clearly that Dad Li saved Hai Lanzhu with his superb medical skills.

When she thought of Hai Lanzhu, Wang Pu's beautiful face and slim and plump figure appeared in front of her. Hai Lanzhu is also a beautiful beauty who is stunning and beautiful. She is not much inferior to Chen Yuanyuan. It's a pity that the two female assassins were rescued by them when they were in Jining. I don't know how it is now?

Because of Dad Li, Wang Pu remembered Hai Lanzhu. Because King Pu of Hai Lanzhu remembered that he met two female assassins in Jining. They seemed to have their graceful and toned figures in front of him. However, Wang Pu didn't know that the red lady, one of the two female assassins, had already followed Li Yan to Mizhi.

Mizhi is a county in the north of Yan'an Prefecture. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are both Mizhi people. The nickname of the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong is the banner of rebellion raised in Mizhi County. Although Li Zicheng is a Mizhi person, he followed Gao Yingxiang to rebel in Jin County, and the famous "Wuding River" flows past Mizhi County.

Li Yan, Hongniangzi and his wife led two thousand soldiers from Qi County, as well as Ma Shouying, He Yilong, He Jin, Liu Xiyao and Lin Yangcheng, three thousand elite soldiers set out from Jia County and took less than half a month to attack Mizhi, and there was almost no interruption along the way. It can be said that the soldiers returned to the bandits' hometown without bloodshed.

In fact, the states, prefectures, guards and offices along the way were powerless even if they wanted to intercept them. After so many years of war, the national strength and military strength of the Ming Dynasty had almost been exhausted. The rule of the Zhuming Dynasty north of the Yangtze River was actually on the verge of collapse. The reason why it was still surviving was entirely due to the inertia of a huge dynasty.

Just like the three towns of Yansui, Gansu and Ningxia in Shaanxi, the total strength of each garrison was added to the same area, but it was less than 50,000. Fu Zonglong, who was appointed as the governor of Shaanxi with the title of Minister of War, was pieced together, and then gathered three elite troops of He Renlong, as fierce as a tiger and Zuo Liangyu. He barely gathered up an army of 80,000.

When Fu Zonglong led the 80,000 troops to form a group of 80,000 troops eastward to Tongguan and prepare to cooperate with Hong Chengchou to encircle Li Zicheng in Henan, the three sides of Shaanxi in the rear inevitably became empty. Under such circumstances, Li Yan, Ma Shouying and others fought back to Shaanxi as if they had no choice but to easily capture Mizhi County.

Fu Zonglong actually knew about the operations of Li Yan's troops.

There have been detailed returns for a long time. A small group of thieves crossed the Yellow River from Mengxian area north. They were flowing northwest, but Fu Zonglong did not take this small group of thieves seriously. He just ordered all the states and prefectures and garrisons along the way to strengthen defense and strictly block them, but did not send large troops to encircle and block them. Fu Zonglong did not even report this to Hong Chengchou and the capital.

Fu Zonglong's carelessness eventually led to a big problem!

In order to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng in Henan, Emperor Chongzhen mobilized a total of more than 200,000 troops from Hong Chengchou, Fu Zonglong and Ma Shiying. The so-called army had not moved the food and grass before it moved, and these 200,000 official troops were mobilized. Eating alone was a big problem. The military pay of the soldiers was even astronomical, but the treasury of the Ming Dynasty had long been empty. The treasury had been exhausted. Emperor Chongzhen could no longer take out a piece of military ration or a liang of silver!

what to do?

There was no other way, Emperor Chongzhen could only order Hong Chengchou, Fu Zonglong and Ma Shiying to raise food and money by themselves! Ma Shiying was backed by Jiangnan and had Jiangnan taxes as a backing. Food and money was not a problem. Hong Chengchou could also intercept grain through the canal, and money could also be intercepted from Jiangnan tax and money by a part of the money and money could be intercepted from the Jiangnan tax and money, but Fu Zonglong could not do it!

What should Fu Zonglong do? There is no way, so he can only increase the taxes in Shaanxi Province and put the burden on the people!

Shaanxi Province under Fu Zonglong's rule was already very poor and suffered a severe drought for three consecutive years. The people in various prefectures and counties had already started to chew tree bark and dig grass roots. This winter, another rare heavy snow was suffered. Some black-hearted businessmen and wealthy households took the opportunity to hoard grain and raise the price of grain. The people were hungry and cold, and they were about to survive. But in this case, the government not only did not distribute grain to provide disaster relief, but instead increased taxes!

This way, the people of Shaanxi really have no way to survive. This is because officials force the people to oppose the people and have to rebel!

Li Yan's army happened to fight back to Shaanxi at this time, just like a spark thrown into a dry firewood, and the raging fire of rebellion suddenly ignited throughout Shaanxi Province!

As soon as the news of the rebel army returning to Mizhidi, the Yan'an Prefecture, Qingyang Prefecture, and Pingliang Prefecture in Shaanxi all rebelled. The desperate poor people rose up one after another. They attacked the government, killed the nobles and gentry, first robbed them, and then helped the elderly and young to Mizhidi to join the rebel army in Li Yan. In less than half a month, Li Yan's rebel army grew from 5,000 to tens of thousands, and was still growing at a speed of thousands of people every day!

When Fu Zonglong discovered the fire in the backyard and realized that something was wrong, Li Yan's climate had already begun, Shanxi and Shaanxi had become a spear of sparks, and Fu Zonglong could not control it even if he wanted to!

Datong, Wang Family Courtyard.

In a blink of an eye, it was already early April of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. Wang Pu had been pretending to be sick for almost a month.

During this period, Wang Pu did not leave the gate and did not step into the gate. He really stayed with Chen Yuanyuan for a while at home. Chen Yuanyuan also enjoyed a rare period of happy and beautiful time. Just after lunch that day, the young lady found an excuse to go out and tactfully left the happy time of being alone to Wang Pu and Chen Yuanyuan.

Looking at Chen Yuanyuan's angrily and flirtatious and charming appearance, Wang Pu couldn't help but catch Chen Yuanyuan's little hand and hugged her plump body tightly into her arms. I don't know if Wang Pu hugged her tightly or for some other reason, Chen Yuanyuan's breathing obviously began to become rapid.

Wang Pu's hands groped Chen Yuanyuan's delicate body for a while, then lifted up her Luo Shang to untie her belt. Chen Yuanyuan had already had already flooded with spring tide, but she still gently pressed Wang Pu's hands and said panting: "Master. Don't."

Wang Pu gasped and said, "Why don't you?"

Chen Yuanyuan said: "Dad Li said that when you are pregnant, you can't be that anymore."

"Don't listen to the old man's nonsense." Wang Pu gasped, "It's been more than three months. It's okay."

"Master, I will listen to you."

Chen Yuanyuan moaned and lay back on the soft wool blanket. Wang Pu supported his elbows on the pit, and then reached out to gently caress Chen Yuanyuan's delicate face. He stared at Chen Yuanyuan affectionately. Chen Yuanyuan also looked back at Wang Pu affectionately. Wang Pu slowly pressed his strong body on Chen Yuanyuan's soft body...

Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace.

Emperor Chongzhen was a rare workaholic. He had to take a look at the report sent by officials from various places without any specific details. When the heaven and earth report was reported on the same day, he would never delay the approval until the next day. On that day, Emperor Chongzhen had just finished the last report and was about to go to bed, the 800-li Jiajitang newspaper of Shaanxi Governor Chen Chunde was delivered to Emperor Chongzhen's imperial case.

If it is an ordinary report, Wang Chengen sometimes dares to suppress the dragon body in order to take care of Emperor Chongzhen's dragon body, but what is the concept of 800-li urgent pond newspapers? Only when foreign races invade large-scale invasions, people rebelled heavily, or vassal kings raise troops and other ruthless things can be qualified to 800-li urgent. Who would have eaten such a thing? He dared to suppress it?

Emperor Chongzhen opened Chen Chunde's pond newspaper with an extremely anxious mood. After reading it hurriedly, he said furiously: "Fu Zonglong is incompetent! Fu Zonglong is incompetent! Fu Zonglong can be punished!"

After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen threw the pond and threw it into the ground.

Wang Chengen went forward without saying a word and picked it up. After a quick glance, his face changed, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He could only carefully stack the pond report and put it on the imperial desk.

Emperor Chongzhen was walking quickly in the hall, but he was still angry and said: "I handed over the great Shaanxi to him, and the three sides of Shaanxi that are related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty to him. I hope he can consolidate the foundation and safeguard the people of Shaanxi, and appease the people of Shaanxi for me, and look forward to the northwest gate of the Ming Dynasty. But what's the result?"

As he said that, Emperor Chongzhen began to roar again: "As a result, less than two months after he took office, he made the three sides of Shaanxi a mess, and the people were in vain. Civil changes broke out in Yan'an, Xi'an, and Pingliang prefectures. Fu Zonglong let down my high expectations for him. He must be responsible for the civil changes in Shaanxi!"

"Long live the emperor." Wang Chengen advised carefully, "Fu Zonglong is incompetent, and he should also be responsible for the civil warriors in Shaanxi. Long live the emperor can immediately send the Jinyiwei to ward him on the capital to question him, but the civil warriors in Shaanxi cannot be taken lightly, and they must send a decent general to suppress him."

"But who should I send?" Emperor Chongzhen said tragically, "No civil and military in the court can bear this serious injury. It's a pity that the great Ming Dynasty has hundreds of millions of people, but there are few capable ministers who can share my worries. Alas, it would be great if there were two more Hong Chengchou, and I wouldn't have lost all my attention. I pressed the gourd and started to rise..."

Wang Chengen whispered: "Long live, when it comes to the candidates who have suppressed the civil war in Shanxi and Shaanxi, there is actually one."

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen asked, "Who is this person?"

Wang Chengen reminded: "Isn't the prince-consort still in Datong now? Why don't you issue an order to temporarily take the title of general of Datong and lead the Datong Town official army to suppress the Shaanxi civil unrest. With the prince-consort's ability to conquer and fight, I think the Shaanxi civil unrest can be controlled in a short period of time."

"You mean Wang Pu?"

Emperor Chongzhen's brows frowned. It was said that Wang Pu should have set off and returned to the capital half a month ago, but he has not set off until now. Wei Daben, the prefect of Datong, submitted a memorial saying that Wang Pu was occasionally cold and was not good at doing things and could not leave in the near future. However, Emperor Chongzhen did not believe it at all. He always felt that Wang Pu was deliberately dragging him back to the capital.

Emperor Chongzhen had to think about it, why did Wang Pu refuse to return to the capital? What exactly did Wang Pu think in his heart?

"Long lively, only the prince consort can control the situation in Shaanxi right now."

Wang Chengen said this not because he accepted Wang Pu's huge silver bribe, nor was he intentionally speaking for Wang Pu. He said the truth, and he was considering it from the standpoint of Emperor Chongzhen. At present, no one can suppress the civil changes in Shaanxi except Wang Pu.

By the way, Emperor Chongzhen really didn't want Wang Pu to stay in Datong Town to lead troops.

But now the civil unrest in Shaanxi is becoming more and more intense. Chen Chunde said in the 800-li Jiajitang newspaper that if the court does not send elite soldiers and generals to suppress it, the situation in Shaanxi Province may be completely out of control. What makes Emperor Chongzhen even more worried is that once Shaanxi loses control, the neighboring Shanxi Province will inevitably be unable to escape!

If the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi is out of control, and coupled with Henan occupied by Li Zicheng, the bandit army will have the territory of three provinces and its sphere of influence will be greatly expanded. The Ming Dynasty's rule north of the Yangtze River is even at risk of collapse. As the saying goes, the two parties will weigh the lesser. In order to protect the mountain, Emperor Chongzhen of Shaanxi Province could only temporarily put aside his suspicion of Wang Pu and let him temporarily take the title of General Datong as the son-in-law of the Prince.

"Okay." Emperor Chongzhen sighed leisurely and said to Wang Chengen, "You should go back to the Silijian immediately to draft an order, and let Wang Pu temporarily take the rank of Datong general with his son-in-law, lead the army to suppress the mountain and the Shaanxi people's rebellion."

"Sister obeys the order."
