Since the Daimyo's Mansion is called Beijing, the building regulations must also follow the standards of the capital. Compared with Kaifeng, it is almost a replica, and the size, appearance, and internal structure are exactly the same. It's just that the palace city here is a little smaller, and the palace buildings are few, and there are only a few dozen internal officials to manage it on weekdays, and it will be regarded as a palace when the emperor comes.

The east gate of the palace city is also called Donghua Gate, there is a courtyard outside the door that is larger than the scale of the government office, here is the lifting of the Changping Division Yamen of the east and west roads of Hebei.

Today coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the people put up lanterns and climb high to worship the moon, but Zeng Bu, who is the chief of the warehouse all the way, does not have this blessing. According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, Beijing officials serving on the military road were not allowed to bring their family members.

However, he was not idle, and a few days earlier he sent out a famous assassination to invite a group of colleagues and friends to come to the house to get together, anyway, everyone has no family, so it is better to get together and be lively.

In fact, the meeting is fake, and it is real to take the opportunity to discuss important matters. Among the people present, in addition to the officials in charge of the prefectures and counties of Cangsi, there are also close-knit magistrates and forbidden army officers.

"My lord, Xiao Quanming is here and is waiting outside the mansion." Not long after the banquet began, an old man who looked like an official family walked in softly, leaned into Zeng Bu's ear and whispered a few words.

"What did he do, the official didn't ask him to ......" Zeng Bu was very puzzled when he heard this,

"The villain looked very flustered when he saw him, and his body was still dirty, could it be that something happened......" The old housekeeper felt that it was necessary to let his adults see Xiao Quanming, and added in a low voice.

“…… Let him pack up first and then come to see each other, don't lose his interest. Zeng Bu was in the process of carrying out the punishment and drinking, and waved his hand very casually.

Xiao Quanming was not in the mood for the holiday, standing at the door of the Cangsi Ya and pacing back and forth like ants on a hot pot. He used to be a commander of the Daimyo's Fuxiang Army, and now he is the head of the First Army of the New Army's Engineer Corps.

Due to old age and frailty, he could not take on excessive work, so he was arranged to be responsible for carrying cement on the Yellow River embankment, and he was given the lowest grade of military furniture. Although this military salary is barely enough to support his family, it is still far from the income when he was a commander in the past.

In addition to the gap in economic income, there is also spirituality. Many of his subordinates are good in the engineering army, and those with some skills are even more popular, not only have a lot of soldiers, but they may also be sent to the workshop in Cixian County as an apprentice, and it is said that the wages there are higher.

Those who are in good health were selected into the new army, not to mention how many soldiers there are, just having three full meals of meat and vegetarian food every day and clothes that do not cost money all year round are already enviable.

Such a big gap made Xiao Quanming very angry, and there were not a few colleagues who had similar encounters with him. As the saying goes, fish find fish and shrimp find shrimp, and people with common demands will slowly get together even if they don't know each other, not to mention colleagues who are also from the Xiang Army.

Everyone had nothing to do with drinking and complaining together, but that's all, they couldn't resist Shuaisi's decision, and they didn't have the courage and ability to rebel.

However, the situation soon changed, and in the summer, Xiao Quanming inadvertently met a cangji's Guan Gou official in the city. In the past, one of the two was in charge of the processing of expired rice, and the other was in charge of the daily consumption of hundreds of people, and they cooperated closely on the issue of how to get oil and water, and their personal relationship was also good.

"As long as you can make things bigger, this matter will take a turn, and when he leaves, he will still be the original servant."

Seeing that his old friend was mixed up like this, Guan Gouguan did not deliberately snub him, but enthusiastically pulled Xiao Quanming into the restaurant. Delicious food and drink are served, and we talk while eating. The topic is naturally inseparable from the dismissal of the van service, and not only is there a grievance about it, but also a suggestion is put forward.

"We are all unqualified soldiers, how can we deal with the founding marquis?" Xiao Quanming scoffed at this suggestion, the disparity in power between the two sides was too great, and there was no hope of victory at all.

"Otherwise, Brother Xiao thinks that only Xiang Jun hates him to the core? In fact, the various divisions of the Daimyo Mansion Road, including the forbidden army, were also very angry with this founding marquis, how many good things he did as soon as he came, I don't say that Brother Xiao should be able to think of it. It's annoying, the founding marquis is His Majesty's celebrity, and he doesn't hide it from Brother Xiao, several supervisors have written to the court many times, but it is really difficult to deal with him without any strong reasons. If Brother Xiao can contact the old department to make such a fuss, the supervisors will be much more sure. Hebei Road has a civil uprising, and the court will not ignore it, even if the official family is unwilling, they have to transfer this back to Kaifeng. At that time, if the superintendent comes forward to appease the place, Brother Xiao can not only be reinstated, but also deserve to be a warehouse official. ”

These words can be regarded as talking about Xiao Quanming's heart, as long as he can drive Shuai Si away and take some risks, he is not afraid. He was not an honest homeless man originally, he was a bandit in his hometown when he was young, and he was recruited by the local government and then joined the box service.

I wanted to make a few more years of money, and then take my family back to my hometown to buy a house and buy a field to become a rich man. Who would have thought that a very unreasonable founding marquis suddenly came, and all these years of hard work were directly ruined. Not only is there no hope of making money from now on, but even the family funds accumulated in previous years have been confiscated.

Gathering crowds to make trouble, robbing houses, and roaring mountains and forests are no strangers to him, and if there are three other supervisors behind him, the risk is not too great.

He has seen the founding marquis, and he doesn't look like a person with any ability, although he is ruthless enough to kill him, but it is useless to be ruthless in officialdom, and someone has to help. Obviously, the founding marquis is not welcomed in the imperial court, and it is even more stinky shit in the local area.

In this way, this risk is worth taking, even if you fail to drive him away in the end, you have helped the three supervisors so much, you will not see death and not save it, how can you make a profit.

Since the beginning of the day, Xiao Quanming has been energetic again, continuing to carry clay pots on the river embankment during the day, and finding various excuses to go out of the barracks to contact old relations and old deployments as soon as he gets off work at night.

The expenses required for these activities are paid by Guan Gou officials, which makes Xiao Quanming feel more at ease. If it weren't for Kuraji-sama's intentions, who would have paid for such a thing by himself.

Participating in this program are not only the vanguards, but also the miners and the forbidden army. He had met and talked about these people with Guan Gouguan, and then he felt more confident. These servants are only responsible for agitating and taking the lead, and the real main force is the people in the city who have been bewitched by rumors.

He knows very well how the people will react if the riots are larger. When he was the king of the mountain, he also used this trick, and when he was coercing the people to attack the villages and towns, the honest farmers would beat people's heads into meat with hoes, making his scalp tingle when he looked at it.

Everything went smoothly, God helped, and a ground riot in Cizhou in July immediately gave the rumors an immediate basis. It must have been the founding marquis's non-stop bombing of the mountain day and night that angered the land lord and condemned mortals.

Coupled with the stone boats that can float on the water by the Yellow River, the name of the monster is confirmed. If you don't blast this monster away, the river god will be angry one day, and a big flood will flood the Daimyo's mansion.

With the spread of similar rumors, more and more people have believed that it is true, as long as it takes time, when the road officials of the whole state go to the river to pay respects on the day of the winter solstice, it will be the moment to launch.

At that time, tens of thousands of people from Cizhou will go to destroy the mines and workshops, and then the miners will lead the attack on Handan County, and the pit smelting and casting money division yamen will also be eradicated. He and his colleagues encouraged the people in the palace to besiege the shipyard and the altar, and it was best to capture the founding prince alive, so that they could negotiate terms with the imperial court.

As for the more than 6,000 new troops stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion, it was a complete joke. Others may not know very well, but Xiao Quanming is very sure that eighty percent of the new army is a box service, as long as the momentum of the people's rebellion is not followed, it is already very good, what is the combat effectiveness.

The remaining thousand real recruits are not to be feared, even if they are covered in iron and can twist a few nails. When the time comes, it will not be enough for the mob to step on one foot at a time, and it will not be worth mentioning at all.

However, the more than 8,000 forbidden troops stationed nearby are more threatening, but since the commander of the forbidden army participates in this plan, the forbidden army will definitely not interfere.
