"I understand."
Zhu Youxiao was surprisingly calm after learning that An Bangyan, the leader of the Shuixi Chieftain, had rebelled.
He naturally knew that An Bangyan was the most powerful chieftain among the southwestern chieftains. His power was so great that he had tens of thousands of elite Miao soldiers.
In addition, according to Zhu Youxiao's knowledge, An Bangyan is also the leader of the Forty-Eight Chieftains in Guizhou. He also controls other leaders except the Forty-Eight Chieftains, and his influence spreads across Guizhou and Guangdong and Guangxi.
This is why relevant documents in history also call the Shuixi Chieftains "big in land and powerful", and why in history, after the Shuixi Chieftains raised their troops, they were able to spread to Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang, and Guangdong in a short period of time, and even occupied Guangzhou and attacked. Entered Annan.
But Zhu Youxiao had already been mentally prepared for this.
Moreover, Zhu Youxiao had already made preparations for the incident, and had discussed various plans in advance with the veterans who served as chief instructors at the Daming Martial Arts Hall and Wang Xiangqian.
Therefore, he did not show much panic.
"First of all, he ordered the 4000th Infantry Headquarters of the Guards Battalion to rush to the southwest. Yuan Keli can call it at any time. He also directed the Ministry of War to transfer one million stones of grain and 500,000 taels of gold and silver to Sichuan, with Yuan Keli as a backup, as well as ordnance manufacturing. Fifty of the Hongyi artillery manufactured by the General Administration were transported to the front line, and the trained gunners were transferred there and put under the jurisdiction of Commander-in-Chief Zhou Yuji of the 4000th Infantry Headquarters of the Guards Battalion and the training officer Lu Xiangsheng."
However, after Zhu Youxiao knew that An Bangyan was still rebelling as he had in history, he still increased his deployment. He not only asked the Guards Battalion to send troops to participate in the battle, but also deployed new cannons and a batch of additional cannons. Money and food.
Zhu Youxiao believes that the result of pacifying An Bangyan's rebellion this time will be better than the results in history.
"I obey the decree!"
But at this time, Fang Congzhe was still a little worried. As he was in the center, he naturally knew that the court had already predicted An Bangyan's rebellion, but he also knew better how powerful An Bangyan was.
And having just invested a lot of real money into the government-owned textile industry with some northern dignitaries, he was naturally worried that An Bangyan's rebellion would cause the court to focus its main efforts on the southwest in the next few years, making His Majesty Wuxia can't go to Jiangnan to cause trouble when the war in the southwest is ongoing, and people like him will be in vain because of this.
The one who is most worried is Han Xu.
After Han Xu learned about An Bangyan's rebellion, he was already anxious in the cabinet.
He was really worried that An Bangyan's rebellion would cause the situation to be unfavorable to the court, and that His Majesty would be unable to concentrate on developing the government-run textile industry in Jiangnan. The money he invested would be meaningless, and his support for the court would sooner or later be known to the world. , then you will lose both fame and fortune.
"What kind of rebellion is this An Bangyan!"
As a result, Han Xu waved his sleeves angrily, wishing for the news that An Bangyan had been put down immediately from the southwest.
"Oh! Mr. Ge, please tell me, what's going on? She Chongming was pacified only then. Why is An Bangyan so dishonest? Why should he go against the court! Can the court quickly wipe out these rebels?!"
British Duke Zhang Weixian also came to the cabinet at this time and asked about Han Xu.
Han Xu couldn't help but said: "My lord, how could I know that the Holy Emperor must be discussing with Yuan Fu in the Political Affairs Hall now? However, I hope Yuan Jinglue can be as quick as he was when he put down the rebellion of Yongning chieftain She Chongming last time, so as not to ruin the world." The war is raging!"
"I hope so. I invested a lot of money in Elder Xu Ge this time to show my loyalty. Besides, I, the Zhang family, have been blessed by the country, so naturally I don't want to see the country of Ming Dynasty in danger."
Zhang Weixian gritted his teeth as he spoke: "This chieftain named An, I can't wait to cut him into pieces with a thousand knives and recreate the glory of my ancestors!"
…
"Since the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the Central Plains dynasty has had no national destiny for more than three hundred years. The Ming Dynasty is now in danger. That is why the scabies disease in the Eastern captives cannot be quelled to this day. Lin Dan Khan has become too big and cannot be controlled. What's more, There is a tyrant who treats the gentry as a mere dog, causing great anger and resentment among the people! There are also traitorous ministers in power who are very ruthless to the people! Therefore, the period of chaos in the world is not far away. If An Gong can quickly capture Guizhou, Yunnan, Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan and other places, dominating the southwest and spying on the Central Plains, will surely become a powerful vassal in the future!"
"When the time comes, Zhu is willing to be the special envoy of An Gong to propagate the south of the Yangtze River, and Jiangnan has long complained about this tyrant. Therefore, when the time comes, if Zhu goes to propagate An Gong on behalf of An Gong, there will be a crowd of people who will respond and eat pots of pulp to welcome An. male!"
Because he knew that Jin Yiwei was already investigating him, he quietly came to Shuixi Chieftain from Chengdu, Sichuan in advance to defect to An Bangyan. As soon as he realized that An Bangyan had ambitions, Zhu Tongmeng, the right chief minister of Sichuan, encouraged and deceived An Bangyan, even in After An Bangyan rebelled because he heard that the imperial court intended to change the country in the future, he still deceived An Bangyan.
An Bangyan was far away in the southwest and was not very clear about the real situation of the imperial court. He also did not have the idea of sending agents in advance to find out whether the imperial court was really that bad like Donglu did. In addition, the education he received was also what the scholar-bureaucrats advocated. Corporal Li Xian was able to pull off that trick, so now that he heard Zhu Tongmeng lied and promised benefits from Jiangnan, he became even more elated.
"Is Dai Junen, the deputy commander of the Guizhou Supervisory Army, reliable? When our army arrives in Guiyang, will he really be able to cooperate with us inside and outside?"
An Bangyan therefore took the initiative to ask Zhu Tongmeng.
"Of course it is reliable! This person has also been dissatisfied with the imperial court for a long time."
Zhu Tongmeng said.
"Okay! Then send troops directly to Guiyang!"
An Bangyan smiled and gave instructions.
…
"An Bangyan has always been ambitious, and it is not surprising that he rebelled. However, She Chongming suddenly started to raise troops shortly after he was pacified. There must be a reason for this. It must be someone who instigated it, or even some Han officials instigated it. !”
After learning about An Bangyan's rebellion, Yuan Keli began to analyze countermeasures with Zhu Xieyuan and others.
At this moment, an orderly soldier ran over: "Report! Ministry of Defense, Guizhou Governor Li Biao is asking for report. The rebels are approaching Guiyang!"
"I know, back off."
"yes!"
After the soldiers withdrew the order, Yuan Keli laughed: "This An Bangyan is restless after all. Fortunately, your majesty is wise and has already ordered me and the princes to be on guard!"
Then, Yuan Keli ordered: "Send a fast horse to tell Qin Liangyu who is already in Guizhou, and let him lead his troops to immediately occupy the two important places of Weng'an and Pianqiao, and order the commander-in-chief Du Wenhuan to send troops from Yongning to attack Bijie and become the governor of Yunnan Wang Sanshan and the commander-in-chief Hou Liangzhu sent troops to Wusa Mansion, and the governor of Pianyuan Fu Zonglong and the commander-in-chief Lu Qin sent troops to Anshun to suppress the mainland of Shuixi. Ignore the siege of Guizhou for now, capture the thieves first and capture the king!"
Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but remind him: "This strategy is indeed smart! But what if Guiyang loses? This An Bangyan dares to attack Guiyang directly, which shows that he is confident. I guess there will be some changes in the city."
Yuan Keli said: "It doesn't matter! As early as the beginning of his accession to the throne, His Majesty asked Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to secretly set up spies around the chieftains and officials in the southwest. If anyone is really dishonest, his reputation will be ruined and he will die without a burial place!"
