Master Bailian stood far away, not disturbing their master and servant talking, after all, he had been facing each other with swords before, and he suddenly became his own person, and it was still a little embarrassing to turn too big. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xia Nan saw that the two of them couldn't hear what he was talking about, and whispered: "Master, I fooled this pair of masters and apprentices with my three-inch tongue, and there is no danger anymore, but you hurry back now, call Han Sheng, bring dozens of people over, and bring some silver for backup by the way." ”

"Master, don't you go back to Lingao with your subordinates? The clipper has returned to Lingao, and it will take several days for his subordinates to return to Lingao, where there is chaos and chaos, it is too dangerous! ”

"I have other plans, I want to be rich and dangerous! Besides, there was danger before, but now it is not so dangerous, and with them, you can smoothly break into the rebels. Master, I want to take advantage of this mutiny, fish in troubled waters, and do something, so that I can reach out to Shandong in the future! ”

After the explanation, Xia Nan walked up to the master and apprentice and said lightly: "Okay, let's wait for the silver to come." Fairy Gu, you leave your eyeliner and wait here, let's go directly to meet the rebels! ”

Bai Lian was quite surprised: "You don't go back with you?" In her opinion, it is normal for Xia Nan to take the opportunity to go home after a fright.

Xia Nan Yizheng said rhetorically: "What are you talking about, Fairy Gu. I said that listening to the teachings by your side, learning to be kind to the people and compassionate, how could you just walk away? ”

Thousands of clothes, not sycophants, these words are very to Bai Lian's thoughts, she smiled with satisfaction, "Although we have only been together for a few days, but in time, I believe that you will finally be able to join the White Lotus Sect and carry forward this sect!" ”

Xia Nan smiled cooperatively, but what she thought in her heart was completely opposite. This kind of thing, no matter who is in power, must be eradicated, and keeping it is a time bomb, I don't know when it will explode, setting off a bloody storm.

After this incident, Bai Lian trusted Xia Nan even more, and his actions were more powerful than any words, he was a rich kid, he was able to give up a stable environment and follow her to venture deep into the rebels, what did he want? What could she, White Lotus, make him plot?

She naturally didn't know that Xia Nan really had a plan, and she was very ambitious, far beyond her pattern.

Xia Nan wanted to break into the rebels through the White Lotus Sect and control the direction of this mutiny, so that Hou Jin could not obtain the casting technology and craftsmen of the Hongyi cannon, and change the original outcome of history. In addition, if feasible, the bureaucracy of Dengzhou and even the whole of Shandong should be paralyzed, so that the control of the imperial court over Shandong would be minimized, and more importantly, the big landlord class in Shandong should be eradicated as much as possible by the hands of the rebels, so as to facilitate the penetration of his influence into Shandong, and in the future he would be able to use Shandong as a springboard to expand his influence inland.

Although Guangdong is closer to Lingao, it is too far away from the center of the imperial court, and it is not the hinterland of the Central Plains, and its strategic value is far inferior to Shandong. Shandong is close to Beizhili, very close to the capital, and controls this territory, which can affect the political situation of the imperial court, and can absorb refugees to increase the population.

The only risk he had to take was to go deep into the rebels and intervene in the mutiny. But this kind of thing can be replaced by no one except himself, so he can only roll up his sleeves.

Inside the Dengzhou Governor's Office.

The faces of the people who came in and out were solemn, since the news of the Kong Youde Mutiny and the Phi Island Turmoil came, everyone was no longer optimistic about Sun Junmen's future, and they were looking for a way out with different thoughts.

Sun Yuanhua sat in the inner hall dejectedly, with only his long-time friend Wang Zheng beside him. Wang Zheng was originally a Liaohai supervisor of the military road, and he was a powerful official in Denglai, and like Sun Yuanhua, he entered Catholicism, was proficient in Western learning and Western weapons, and had the same ambition to love the people and serve the country, and later at the invitation of Sun Yuanhua, he gave up his official position and became his staff.

First of all, Yu Dacheng's urgent report came, Sun Yuanhua, out of a self-protective mentality, resolutely refused to admit that it was the Liao soldiers who made trouble, and insisted that it was the deserters from other places who came to Liao's aid to make trouble under the pretext of making trouble, and replied to Yu Dacheng with a letter of justification, explaining that the Liao soldiers had always obeyed their own dispatch and would never do such a thing. But the news continued to come, especially in Qingzhou Mansion, they were too far away from Jinan, and they were worried that the governor of Shandong would not be able to send troops to rescue in time, so they asked Dengzhou for help again and again, and their call for help confirmed that Kong Youde's troops were in chaos.

After confirming this, Sun Yuanhua seemed to be ten years old in a few days, even if he still pretended to be confident in front of people, but in the place where no one was, his fatigue had been fully revealed. If it was just a Kong Youde rebellion, he would have nothing to be afraid of, the difficulty was that Kong Youde's choice of time was too wrong, the siege of Da Linghe was not resolved, and Denglai was in chaos again, he could imagine the emperor's anger.

In September, the Shaanxi Liukou became more and more rampant, and the hungry people were actually attacking the city everywhere, Chongzhen in the case of internal and external pressure, his character began to become impatient, he could not bear Yang He, the governor of the trilateral who presided over the suppression of thieves, and directly arrested Yang He and took him to prison for death, and sent Hong Chengchou to add the right attendant of the military department and the right to the capital of Yushi, the governor of Shaanxi trilateral military affairs. Fortunately, Yang He has a good son, Yang Sichang, who participated in the politics of Shandong, asked for the crime of surrogate his father, and the emperor appreciated this political rookie, and changed Yang He to the army on the side of the net, and Yang He finally saved his life.

The dignified governor of the three sides is not this end, and the basket that Sun Yuanhua stabbed does not seem to be under Yang He. Kong Youde and others rebelled in Jinan Mansion, close to the canal jurisdiction, not far from Beizhili, and has always been a rich place in Shandong. The rebels began to attack the city from Wuqiao, burning, killing and looting, judging from the news sent from all over the country, the losses caused must have been very serious, and it also directly affected the overall strategy of the imperial court to rescue the Daling River. The situation is so bad, domestic and foreign difficulties, as the directly responsible Governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua does not know how to resolve the current crisis.

Sun Yuanhua saw Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong and other faces who were full of expectations for him, these people all had kindness to him to promote and allot, but now they may be implicated by themselves.

Wang Zheng suggested: "Chuyang, the situation is so erosive, why not resign from the official body and retreat." ”

Sun Yuanhua smiled miserably: "I'm afraid that I may not be able to retreat with my whole body, Lord Yang He Yang also asked for resignation in May, but the emperor did not allow it, and arrested him in a blink of an eye. Now that Kong Youde has become chaotic, how can the emperor allow me to resign, when he is in Shanxi, the army in Shanxi is defeated, and the governor Geng Ruqi and the general soldiers are beheaded, how similar is this official to him. ”

To be continued.
