Chapter 616: Tianzhou is in turmoil

Duan Fei on behalf of the Ming Dynasty reached an agreement with the various ethnic groups after the Paradise Island officially returned to the Ming Dynasty, how this step goes, whether it is the impact on the present or the future is very important, so Duan Fei did not immediately leave the Paradise Island to return to the capital, but temporarily only informed Zhengde of this matter in a secret way, and in the first time informed the emperor, Duan Fei was a little relieved, and with great interest, accompanied by the leaders of the various ethnic groups, visited their ethnic territory.

In order to get closer to the various ethnic groups on the island, Duan Fei always played and sang to himself when he was gathering in the camps of various ethnic groups, and sang the song "The Girl of Alishan" to him until the Sun Moon Lake under Alishan, and Duan Fei also became the most popular court official of all ethnic groups on Paradise Island in history......

After staying on the island for more than a month, it was almost July before Duan Fei boarded a ship from Monkey Tree Harbor and left Paradise Island, and most of the fleet he brought with him had already stayed in Doggo Harbor, and they would become a powerful force to defend Paradise Island.

Duan Fei returned west through the old site of Penghuwei, returned to Yuegang in the evening of the same day, rested for a night, and was about to deal with some things the next day, and then when he was about to return to the north, he suddenly received a holy decree, and Zhengde ordered him to immediately lead his five thousand Taurus Wei to Wuzhou Mansion at the junction of the two Guangzhous to station on standby.

This decree came in an extremely hasty manner, even the Jinyi Guard had not yet heard the news, and he didn't know what was going on, Duan Fei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent an order to gather the Golden Bull Guard everywhere......

In fact, in order to prevent the Japanese invaders, Duan Fei arranged the five thousand Golden Bull Guards in the south of the Yangtze River in the coastal counties and governments of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to help the local guards defend against the Japanese Invaders, and now it is quite difficult to suddenly gather them, he sent a warship stationed in Yuegang to the north to pick up people, and it was much faster to transport troops from the sea than on land, but it was only five days later that the five thousand Golden Bull Guards were pulled to Yuegang together.

In the past five days, Duan Fei wrote several letters on the one hand, and ordered people to secretly send them to the secret Zhengde, Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing, Qian Rujing, Gui Cao and others, mainly explaining the affairs of Paradise Island, he could not return to Beijing in person to preside, he could only hope for others.

After five days of waiting, the latest news came from Beijing and Wuzhou, it turned out that Cen Meng, the local official of Tianzhou, Guangxi, had rebelled, and Zhengde was worried that there were many ethnic minorities in the south, and if the Cen Meng rebellion could not be suppressed in time, it would be prolonged, so he urgently ordered Duan Fei to go to the Wuzhou Prefecture and the Liangguang Governor's Mansion to preside over the suppression operation, and he also sent Shen Xiyi, who had been a general of Youjiang, back to Guangxi to assist Duan Fei in suppressing the Cen Meng rebellion.

In Duan Fei's eyes, Cen Meng was just a local official in a small state, with only a few thousand wolf soldiers in his hands, what big thing could he do? However, after this kid rebelled, he actually defeated the officers and soldiers sent by the governor of Liangguang in a row, and his arrogance was even worse, and now he even attracted wolf soldiers from several nearby states, known as 100,000 people, directly threatening the safety of Liuzhou Mansion and Nanning Mansion, no wonder Zhengde was furious, and immediately sent an order for Shen Xiyi and Duan Fei to join forces to suppress this rebellion.

In the intelligence, Duan Fei saw a familiar name - the governor of Liangguang and Guangtong knew Sheng Yingji, isn't this guy the Taiyuan Wei commander who missed Sheng Yingji because he took a step earlier when Duan Fei wanted to be held accountable in Taiyuan last time?

Duan Fei gathered his troops and came to Guangzhou by boat, and then changed to a small boat and came to Wuzhou along the Xijiang River, at this time it had been more than ten days since Cen Meng's rebellion, and the rebels had approached Liuzhou Mansion, and the situation was quite grim, but Li Kang, the governor of Liangguang, and Xie Ruyi, the governor of Guangxi, and other military and political dignitaries actually greeted Lord Qincha at the dock without pulling a lot.

Duan Fei calmly got off the boat to accept the Wuzhou Mansion and the Liangguang Governor, and then went directly to the Liangguang Governor's Yamen, accompanied by everyone, the Liangguang Governor has great power, but there is no tone in front of Duan Fei, in the public court of the Liangguang Governor's Yamen, Li Kang obediently gave up the first place and sat in the second seat, when everyone sat down peacefully, Duan Fei asked indifferently: "This official rushed to Wuzhou Mansion in a hurry, and he didn't know what happened, why did this Cen Meng rebel?" ”

Li Kang replied: "My lord, Cen Meng was born rebellious, his father Cen Jun was arrested and cut off his head because of the rebellion, Cen Meng bribed the great eunuch Liu Jin at the time, and as a result, he inherited his father's official position, and then Jiangxi thieves rebelled, Cen Meng was ordered to take the wolf soldiers to the conquest, and made a little merit, the official went to Tianzhou to command Tongzhi, this guy did not know the grace of heaven, and he was arrogant and conspiracy, this time the governor and the master of Zhisheng received many complaints against Cen Meng, so he personally went to Tianzhou to investigate, Unexpectedly, Cen Meng saw that he couldn't argue and made trouble on the spot, if it weren't for the desperate snatching out of his subordinates, even Lord Sheng would have fallen into Cen Meng's hands. ”

Sheng Yingzhi got up and came to the middle of the hall, and bowed to Duan Fei: "My lord, it's all strange for the humble and reckless actions to startle the snake, leading Cen Meng to launch a rebellion in advance, and forgive your sins." ”

Duan Fei sighed and asked, "You said that you acted rashly and startled the snake?" What does this mean? ”

Sheng Yingqi said: "Cen Meng's father died in the hands of the imperial court, this fang has long been rebellious, secretly planned for a long time, the humble position failed to investigate its situation, punished the adulterous heart rashly went to Tianzhou, Cen Meng thought that the anti-love was exposed, has been found by the imperial court, so in a hurry immediately reversed, Cen Meng this person is cruel and tyrannical, in Jiangxi to conquer the Hualin thief, sell the road to release the thief, the windfall is hundreds of millions of dollars, he sent troops to quell the rebellion late when Liu Zhao, the local official of Si'en Mansion, rebelled, secretly sheltered the traitor, sent troops to interfere in the affairs of Longzhou without authorization, and gathered the crowd to kill Cen ...... in Sicheng Prefecture without authorization."

Sheng Ying counted Cen Meng's bunch of crimes, and other officials echoed him, Duan Fei listened carefully, and when Sheng Ying said that he almost stopped, Duan Fei asked indifferently: "Master Sheng, you said that you received a lot of complaints against Cen Meng, so you went to Tianzhou to verify them in person, and you can present them to the official to see." ”

Sheng Yingqi smiled dryly: "My lord, the lowly duty went to Tianzhou with the papers, Cen Meng suddenly mutinied, and when the lowly officials fled from Tianzhou, the papers were scattered. ”

Duan Fei said: "It doesn't matter if it's lost, you always remember the name of the person who complained, right?" If you bring someone to your own officer, you will ask them personally. ”

Sheng Yingzhi said: "My lord, the complaint against Cen Meng is anonymous, or you are afraid of Cen Meng's revenge, and you are despicable...... I really don't know who wrote the paper. ”

Duan Fei slapped a few cases violently, a cup full of tea was shaken to the ground and shattered, everyone trembled, and the look of Sheng Ying, who knelt in front of Duan Fei, changed greatly, and he asked deliciously: "My lord, do you want to be humble...... Did you do something wrong with your humble position? ”

Duan Fei sneered: "Are you so easy to bully as an official? Although this official did not find much information due to the rush of time, but it is enough to expose your lies, you said that Cen Meng killed Cen Jie in Sizhou, that is because Cen Jie is not evil, the former governor secretly attacked the neighboring states to fight against the army, and the text still exists, do you want this official to transfer the original from the military department to show you? ”

Sheng Yingqi didn't dare to make a sound, and the others didn't dare to speak when they saw Qin Cha getting angry, Duan Fei continued: "The battle of Liu Zhao, General Li Shen lost the opportunity to enter lightly, and what happened to Cen Meng?" You saw that Cen Meng reversed, and poured all kinds of dirty water on him, Sheng Yingying, is this your clumsy method of trying to cover up the truth? ”

Sheng Yingqi raised his head and said to Duan Fei: "Why did your lord say this, he has just been transferred from Shanxi for just one year, and he has no grudges with Cen Meng, why did he frame him?" However, I heard that Cen Meng secretly bribed officials big and small in order to prevent the imperial court from discovering that he had opposing intentions, and Cen Meng bought Liu Jin to resume his father's position, which was a precedent......"

Duan Fei sneered: "Are you saying that this official was also bribed by Cen Meng, so he spoke for him?" ”

There was silence in the lobby of the Yamen of the Governor of Liangguang......
