Therefore, those people with ulterior motives secretly bribed the leaders of the rebels, stormed the county government's mansion, and killed the entire family of the county officials. The 60-year-old Duke and his several sons were beaten to death with wooden sticks by the rioters in front of the Buddha statue that had been worshiped all their lives and in front of all the family members of the Duke's mansion. The female relatives of the county government were also raped and tortured to death.
If we don’t kill this kind of person, will we still keep him alive for the New Year? This was the main reason why Fu Yuanshan went on a killing spree in Zezhou Prefecture. Not only the rebel leaders who were bribed, but also the people who were found to be secretly bribed, Fu Yuanshan also sent those people to the guillotine. It's a pity that three of the leaders of the rebels took thousands of strong men and fled into the Qinshui Mountains, forming a stronghold to protect themselves against the official army.
Of course, the iron-blooded methods adopted by He Jiatuan to purge the Shanxi Road Guards after taking over as Shanxi Jiedushi was also one of the reasons why Fu Yuanshan made such rapid progress in quelling the rebellion. Suppression and suppression, no matter how much control is taken up, suppression still ranks first. A really large army is pressing down on the territory, and even killing a few chickens when necessary can better deter those monkeys with evil intentions.
At the moment, He Jiatun is personally in charge of Zezhou Prefecture, urging the local guards to clear out those rebels who are unwilling to surrender and stubbornly resist. Although Fu Yuanshan generally adopts a differentiated approach in dealing with rioters. It is not an indiscriminate killing, but there are always some people who are determined to not give up. Either they occupy Xiaoshan Forest, or they become rogue bandits traveling from prefecture to county, trying desperately to resist.
However, the He family shovel is an experienced soldier. Faced with this situation, the overall situation is still very accurate. He mobilized his cavalry and adopted the method of separate attacks and combined attacks to first clear out the rebels who had become rogues. For those who occupy Xiaoshan Forest, they will first adopt the method of siege. Several groups of armed rebels who were running around and trying to coerce the local people were the first to be wiped out, and the remaining two groups were also being pursued.
After first wiping out most of the fleeing rebel armed groups, He Jiatan stepped up his efforts to pursue and suppress the remaining two groups. On the one hand, the army began to be mobilized, and those who occupied Xiaoshan Forest began to be gradually eliminated. It's just that those who occupied Xiaoshan Forest were almost all forced into the deep mountains and old forests in order to avoid the crackdown by the government troops, and the progress of the crackdown was relatively slow. However, He Jia Tuo has promised that it can be completed within one year.
Fang Ming also lived up to Huang Qiong's expectations, and the abacus beads crackled loudly. Cooperating with Jian Yong, while ensuring the supply of military grain and grass on the north side of the road, it was not necessary for the imperial court to transfer an extra stone of grain and an additional coin, close to the local vassal treasury in Shanxi, not only maintaining the livelihood of the victims, but also It also met the relief needs of new victims arising from this civil unrest.
At this time, Huang Qiong understood why the old man who originally opposed Fang Ming's appointment as Shanxi's Zhizhi envoy happily agreed after he chose the Zhizhi envoy and the comfort envoy. It turned out that the old man was worried not only about the officials in Shanxi, but also about the clans that controlled Shanxi. These clans, who are accustomed to being domineering, may not be able to suppress them without Fu Yuanshan's strong command.
The Prince of Linfen County, who suffered heavy losses in the civil unrest, returned to his Prince's Mansion with his family after the civil unrest in Pingyang Mansion subsided. Mindful of the plan to make up for the losses within the embankment and outside the embankment, Ding not only sent out his family, but also vigorously hunted down the victims who had participated in the civil unrest, so that these victims, who had sold out their poor children, could compensate him for his losses in the civil unrest.
He also tampered with the money and food raised by Fang Ming several times to help the victims, trying to make up for his losses as much as possible. Regarding this man's ignorant behavior, Fu Yuanshan, who rushed to Jizhou in person, first tried to persuade him. It's just that the Prince of Linfen County not only failed to get enough oil and salt, he even claimed that it was the fault of the Shanxi Road officials that he suffered such heavy losses.
Not only the victims of the disaster should be compensated for his losses, but all the money and food transferred from Shanxi Road to the prefectures and counties of Pingyang Prefecture should also be given to him as compensation. Seeing this man who only had money in his eyes, he was really a bit reluctant and even arrested the victims in front of him. Fu Yuanshan was not polite and sent people to forcibly escort the old man's family to Beijing.
Fu Yuanshan's meaning is very clear. Since I can't reach an agreement with you, then you should go and talk to your relatives. Also sent to the capital was evidence of this man's crimes with the victims of the fish and meat village. There is another reason why Fu Yuanshan is so resolute. That is, behind the incident of the Ningxiang County Prince being exterminated, there is still a faint shadow of the Linfen County Prince. Therefore, Fu Yuanshan escorted him to the capital.
When the old man saw the evidence of the crime, he was furious. He immediately deposed the Prince of Linfen County and imprisoned the whole family in Zongzheng Temple. As for what made the old man so angry, it was one of the pieces of evidence Fu Yuanshan sent to the capital. Last year, the old man was shameless and asked several of their clans to fight against the autumn wind. The Prince of Linfen County was forced to have no choice but to let out some of his blood.
But the food he donated was sold to Pingliang County Duke. The grain that Pingliang County Duke allegedly donated and sold at a low price was sold to Daxing County Duke. The two princes of Fufeng and Qingcheng also did the same thing. However, none of these grains were sold at the official price. The grain went around in a circle and actually ended up in the hands of Daxing County Duke. The Daxing County Duke became the general distributor.
As soon as the Daxing County Duke changed hands, he sold it to local disaster victims for more than ten times the price. In those years of great disaster, in addition to the 20% benefit that Daxing County Duke took from the huge profits from selling grain, those clans also made a lot of money and earned back all the money they donated. After working for a long time, the emperor, who was half exhausted, was actually played around by several clan members.
How can this not make the old man angry? And the Prince of Linfen County happened to be under the gunpoint at this moment. If the old man didn't vent his anger on him, who else could he vent his anger on? Inspection envoys were dispatched immediately to Longyou and Shaanxi to investigate the whereabouts of the grain. Next, the greedy and unyielding Prince of Linfen County became the old man's punching bag, and his whole family was imprisoned and imprisoned.
After receiving the news from Fu Yuanshan, especially from He Jiatuan, Huang Qiong had a somewhat ashamed expression on her face, thinking about how she had been having an affair with He Jiatuan's wife two days ago. But thinking of Mrs. He, after she really fell in love, Huang Qiong felt extremely reluctant to let go of her on the bed with the same passion and the abundance that she could not forget.
Seeing the confident words on the He family shovel memorial, Huang Qiong could only suppress her gratitude in her heart. It's just that although the Shanxi Road is smooth and chaotic, the progress is relatively smooth. But Huang Qiong always had a feeling that something was wrong. It's just that there is something wrong. Apart from feeling that the Shanxi Road was in chaos and the progress was a bit too smooth, he thought about it for a long time and never figured it out.
In fact, from the beginning of the civil unrest on Shanxi Road, Huang Qiong had a vague feeling that the cause of this civil unrest was not simple. Because of this civil unrest, of course, in order to reduce their own burdens, the officials in various places on Shanxi Road do have a great responsibility for the hard-line eviction, which can also be regarded as the main reason for this civil unrest. But the concentrated outbreak in many places at almost the same time is somewhat intriguing.
In this communication, all communication depends on writing letters. Except for the Tianjia which has human resources to quickly take over communication methods such as 800-mile express, the rest relies on slow delivery by the inns. Even if they are all located within the same road, it is impossible to break out. So concentrated. The civil unrest on Shanxi Road seems to be planned by people with ulterior motives, taking advantage of the long-suppressed resentment of the victims who flooded into Shanxi Road.
If I hadn't responded quickly this time, I wouldn't have fully counted on the Shanxi Road officials and the Shanxi Road Guards. Instead, at the first opportunity, he discussed with the old man to send capable people as envoys, and replaced Shanxi's pacification envoys and Jiedu envoys. Eight thousand elite troops were selected from the four major battalions. As the main force on Shanxi Road to quell the civil uprising, the situation on Shanxi Road did not stabilize so quickly.
Maybe, this Shanxi Road civil uprising will spread to the whole of Shanxi, and even to the neighboring Hebei Road and Henan Road. By then, the entire northern part of Da Qi Dynasty would be in danger of falling into chaos. And where are Shanxi Road and Hebei Road? One is surrounded by rivers and mountains, and the other is located in the Great Plains. They are the main frontier areas for the confrontation between Qi and Liao, and are also the main breakthrough points for the northern and southern campaigns.
With such a large-scale civil uprising on Shanxi Road, it is difficult for Huang Qiong not to associate it with the inexplicable emissary sent by Bei Liao, King Liang. It's just that Beiliao has such great capabilities, can it send so many experts on Shanxi Road? If this matter was not caused by Bei Liao, then are the main reasons why the Shanxi Road civil uprising is so turbulent really what is seen on the surface?
This feeling has always existed in his heart. Even as the chaos on Shanxi Road progressed, it became more and more intense. Putting down the memorial in his hand, Huang Qiong thought for a while before picking up the pen and wrote a letter to Fu Yuanshan and the others. In the letter, in addition to warning them not to be too ambitious, they must focus on stability. We must prevent the resurgence of areas that have been cleared.
They were also asked to uphold an attitude of eradicating evil and doing their best towards those who coerced victims into the mountains and turned into bandits. At this time, there must be no room for relaxation. Finally, Huang Qiong told Fu Yuanshan all about the wrong feeling in his heart in the letter. Huang Qiong believes that the Shanxi Road civil uprising is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Fu Yuanshan must find a way to find out the truth.
Especially the possible mastermind behind the scenes, we must find a way to find out no matter what. Otherwise, the civil uprising on Shanxi Road will break out again soon. In the letter, Huang Qiong also told Fu Yuanshan that he would instruct Nanzhen Fusi to fully cooperate with them in the investigation. If the inventory results are obtained, report them to yourself as soon as possible.
As for the things these clans did, Huang Qiong had expected it a long time ago, and now he is no longer surprised. He had warned the old man a long time ago, but the old man believed too much in the ethics of those clans and did not listen to his own reminder. Today, the main reason is that the old man tolerated and supported the adulterer. But in this era, who can easily find fault with the emperor?
The old man didn't mention it himself, so how could Huang Qiong find trouble and find fault with the old man? However, the old man was really very angry in those days, and he would scold anyone who made the slightest mistake. King Yong was so frightened that he did not even dare to enter the palace. It's just that the anger needs to be raised, but things need to be done, especially as Huang Qiong's wedding is getting closer.
Although the old man arranged a series of things for Huang Qiong's wedding, including Nacai, Xiangming, Naji, and Nazheng. But there are some things that Huang Qiong still needs to do personally. For example, to accept the lottery or accept the levy, Huang Qiong needs to come forward in person. He is the current prince and the prince who helps manage the affairs of the country. Although he does not have the title of prince yet, all the etiquette and items are purchased according to the prince's wedding.
The etiquette required is even more complicated. After a series of complicated etiquette was completed, Huang Qiong was exhausted from the torment. However, he was exhausted by the extremely outstanding performance of the clan during the severe drought in the northwest, and even left all the government affairs that needed to be handled during this period to Huang Qiong. As a result, during this period of time, Huang Qiong's time living in the palace was almost the same as the time he returned home.
