Chapter 88 The rebel thief died suddenly

After the party joining ceremony, Chen Hongxiu, Zhao Tieshan, Meng Guang and others said goodbye to Zheng Yi and led their respective men to Beidi.

The three people have similar goals, they are all in Binzhou.

However, the place where Chen Hongxiu and Zhao Tieshan went was to the north of the Canglong River, where they joined General Xu Mujun to fight against Wu State.

Meng Guang's destination was the seaport at the junction of Binzhou and Jizhou.

He wants to form the Beiyang Navy there!

Accompanying him were more than two hundred artillerymen.

These people are the foundation and founders of the Beiyang Navy.

After sending off the three people, Zheng Yi handed over all major national affairs to the cabinet.

As for himself, he summoned Chen Liancang.

"Mr. Chen, how is the Shadow Guard's martial arts cultivation now?"

"Return to Your Majesty."

Chen Liancang said: "I don't know why these people have improved rapidly in the past two years. Now there are five first-level warriors, eleven second-level warriors, and the rest are about to make breakthroughs."

Zheng Yi thought about it. The Shadow Guard stayed in the harem all day long and had the closest contact with the five innate spiritual energies. It was normal for his martial arts cultivation to improve rapidly.

It's a pity that he can't control the five innate spiritual energies.

If these five innate auras could be kept in the palace, or in the capital city.

Then wouldn't the improvement of his subordinates' strength be faster?

At this moment, a piece of news suddenly came from the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror in his mind.

[The birth of ten innate spiritual energy can affect the spread area of ​​the innate spiritual energy. 】

Seeing this news, Zheng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ten innate auras?

Doesn’t that mean there are five more ways?

"Your Majesty?"

"Oh, I thought of something else."

Zheng Yi came back to his senses and said: "The Shadow Guards who have achieved breakthroughs in cultivation will be rewarded."

"Whoever can be the first to break through to the Grandmaster realm will be rewarded by me!"

Chen Liancang said respectfully: "No."

"By the way, Mr. Chen, your top priority now is to focus on the excavation of the imperial mausoleum."

Zheng Yi continued to give instructions: "The training of young Shadow Guards can be left to Liu Chengen's Supervisor of Ceremonies."

"This slave obeys the order."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, please step back."

"No!"

After arranging the excavation of the Imperial Tomb and the cultivation of the Shadow Guards, Zheng Yi had no other major matters, and then he was immersed in the harem all day long.

His lifespan is increasing at an extremely fast rate.

And the women around him also rotated quickly.

But there are only a limited number of people, and they have to be pampered every few days.

He was selecting a suitable candidate to give birth to a royal daughter.

This woman must be beautiful, with extremely high qualifications and physique.

The qualifications of a woman born in this way will also be improved accordingly.

It is best for the woman herself to have spiritual roots.

In this way, the children born will also have a high probability of having spiritual roots.

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, it was May 10th.

The jade plaque in the enshrining courtyard was dedicated to the real person Zhao Suling who returned from Daizong Mountain and informed Zhao Xizheng that he had some enlightenment and retreated again.

Zhengyong five years, May 21st.

Yunnan General Miao Xiujun reported a great victory and led an army of 50,000 to fight a decisive battle on the border of Qingzhou with an army of 200,000 rebels.

In this battle, the officers and soldiers were defeated miserably.

He lost more than 23,000 people and killed more than 70,000 enemies. The remaining rebels collapsed. Some prayed for surrender on the spot, while a small number of people fled into the mountains and occupied the mountains as bandits.

Bahar, the chief protector of the Destiny Sect, was captured alive and escorted back to Beijing.

Zheng Yi ordered the remaining refugees to be moved to Yandi, and donated land and food to appease the refugees and make them return to their roots.

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, it is the ninth day of the sixth lunar month.

Zheng Yi stayed at Guangle Palace, and was served by his concubine Miao Yuesheng.

Miao Yuesheng is the daughter of Miao Xiu.

Although she was not very beautiful in appearance, her face was pretty and cute, and her figure was also different from ordinary people. Zheng Yi spent the whole night playing with her, enjoying herself.

That night, Zheng Yi's lifespan increased again by 16 points.

The next day, His Majesty issued an order to promote Yue Concubine Miao Yuesheng to the title of Yue Fei!

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, on June 22, the Miao Xiu class returned to the court.

Emperor Zhengyong held a grand banquet in Baiyujing to welcome Miao Xiu, accompanied by Concubine Yue.

The monarch and his ministers had a very happy relationship with each other. Miao Xiu even performed a sword dance in person, which was so powerful that everyone in the emperor appreciated it.

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, June 25th.

His Majesty decreed that Miao Xiu should be appointed as the Left Minister of the Ministry of War and the Right Minister of the Imperial Procuratorate. At the same time, he would be the Governor of Qingzhou and the commander-in-chief of the troops in Qingzhou and Jizhou.

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, it is the first day of July.

Yongzhou civil uprising.

Liu Xiang, the prefect of Chang'an Prefecture, knew about it but did not report it. At the same time, he imposed additional exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Although he was beheaded in public, the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes he left behind are still being levied.

On the first day of July, Huang Wa'er, a village official in Yanchang County, was whipped and scolded by the tax collector of Yanchang County because he could not collect enough taxes. In anger, he killed the tax collector.

That night, Huang Wa'er incited 132 villagers of Hongzao Village to rebel, armed with shoulder poles, kitchen knives, sickles and other civilian weapons, they broke into Tumi County, Yanchang County, and killed 47 county government officials.

A few days later, all thirty-two villages in Tumi County rebelled.

Corrupt officials were killed, landlords were robbed, and the war spread to the entire Yanchang County.

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Huang Wa'er swarmed a hundred thousand rebels and attacked the Yanchang County government. The county soldiers were defeated and quickly asked the court for help.

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, on July 17th, Huang Wa'er broke through Yanchang County and killed Li Changshui, the governor of Yanchang County.

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, on July 18th, Yanfeng County rebelled, and the bandit chief Hei Gouzi called himself the Black Dragon King.

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, on the 21st of the seventh month, Changfeng County rebelled, and the bandit leader Shi Dashan called himself the King of the Mountain.

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, on July 28th, Wu Qijun rebelled, and the leader of the bandits was Wu Feng, who named himself Wulongzi.

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, on the second day of August, Ganquan County, Luozhen County, Huanglong County, Anchang County, and Weibei County all rebelled. In the fifth year of Zhengyong, on the eighth day of August, eighteen groups of rebels gathered in Anchang County, and Huang Wa'er was elected as the leader of the rebels in the ten counties of Yongzhou, calling himself "King Huangtian".

The rest of the rebels will be called the Eighteen Kings!

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, on the tenth day of August, the rebel Huang Waer led an army of 500,000 to besiege Chang'an Mansion!

In the fifth year of Zhengyong, on August 12th, some rebels broke into Hanzhong and Shuzhong.

Hanzhong, Shu and other places also have counter-intentions!

If Chang'an Mansion is captured, the entire Yongzhou will be captured by the rebels.

Looking at the memorial in front of him, Zheng Yizhen felt that his head had become a lot bigger.

What a bastard!

I have only been practicing dual cultivation quietly for a few months, and I was still preparing to have a baby, but Yongzhou rebelled again.

I just want to quietly cultivate immortality!

At this time, Liu Chengen walked in quickly from outside: "Your Majesty, General Miao Xiu has arrived."

"Let him in!"

"I, Miao Xiu, have met Your Majesty!"

The man who came in was not tall, but he was very honest. He had huge eye sockets and a face full of flesh. Most of his face was covered by thick hair. He looked like a savage.

Zheng Yi never imagined how this big man like a bear in front of him could give birth to such a petite and lovely child as Yue Fei?

"My dear, please rise. No need to be polite."

Zheng Yi said: "What do you think, Ai Qing, of the rebellion in Yongzhou?"

Miao Xiu said: "Your Majesty, the rebels in Yongzhou are nothing more than chickens and dogs. They are vulnerable to a blow!"

"As long as your Majesty gives me some red cannons, thunderbolts and other artillery weapons, I will definitely put down the rebels within a month!"

Zheng Yi's mouth twitched. Since the bombardment of the puppet Yan, the news of the red cannon spread almost like a strong wind throughout most of Yu.

Almost every general in the army wrote to Zheng Yi to give priority to supplying their troops.

The military factory is working hard to produce, but unfortunately it takes time.

Moreover, most of the red cannons and thunderbolts were supplied to the Shenji Battalion, so he really didn't have much inventory on hand.

Zheng Yi shook his head and said: "Miao Aiqing, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. It's actually that the military factory produces so much every day, and it also gives priority to the Shenji Battalion and General Xu."

"Of course I don't dare to snatch the artillery post of General Xu, but I have to give some to the humble post... How about a hundred?"

Miao Xiu said carelessly, his eyes turning very fast.

Zheng Yi said helplessly: "I can only give you a cross first, no more..."

"Thank you for your humble position, Your Majesty!"

Miao Xiu was overjoyed and said: "I'll send someone to the arsenal to take him away. After I get it, I can try out the power of the red cannon."

"Don't worry Miao Aiqing, you haven't said how to deal with Yongzhou's anti-people!"

"It's simple."

Miao Xiu continued: "Since the beginning of spring this year, our country has had good weather and has had seventeen or eighteen heavy rains. The previous drought situation has long ceased to exist."

"The rebellious people in Yongzhou only need to hang the bandit leaders and die-hard elements, and they only need to be exempted from taxes."

Miao Xiu took out a roll of maps from his waist, unfolded it and saw that it was a map of Yongzhou.

It seemed that he had already guessed that Zheng Yi would send him to Yongzhou to suppress the rebels.

"Your Majesty, this map is the topographic map of Yongzhou."

Miao Xiu pointed to the map and said: "Yongzhou is located in the northwest, but it is blocked by mountains on all sides, and the Canglong River flows through it in the northeast."

"This terrain map is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also like a prison that locks the entire chaos in the Yongzhou area."

He then pointed at several points on the right side of the map and continued: "I have asked several ministers and soldiers from Yongzhou. According to what they said, if you want to leave Yongzhou, you must pass through Wuguan and Dafengguan. , Weiguan and Cangguan ”

"Cangguan is located on the west side of Yongzhou. Going further west is an uninhabited desert area. It is impossible for chaotic people to go there."

"So we only need to guard the three checkpoints of Wuguan, Dafengguan and Weiguan to lock the rebels in Yongzhou and then slowly hang them!"

"But Your Majesty, my troops have suffered heavy losses and can only guard two checkpoints at most. The other checkpoint needs to be guarded by the rest of the people."

"Do you have any generals to recommend?"

"Yes."

Miao Xiudao: "The commander-in-chief of Yuezhou, Shi Heilang!"

"This man was born in the Yue people and has been attached to Dayu for a long time. Not only has he reached the master level in martial arts, he has experienced hundreds of battles. He also has 30,000 tribesmen who are good at jungle warfare under his command, and he is known as the 'Wolf Army'."
< br>

"Even if he holds a humble position, he will never be his match in a mountain battle."

"The terrain of Yongzhou is complex, which is more suitable for this person to fight."

After Zheng Yi looked at the map in detail, he nodded slowly and said: "Okay, then I will follow your request and transfer the Yue Prefecture headquarters Shi Heilang to fight in Yong."

"No!"

The next day, Zheng Yi issued an imperial edict.

Miao Xiu, the commander-in-chief of Yunzhou, Shi Heilang, the commander-in-chief of Yuezhou, and Chen Wannian, the commander of the forbidden army, were sent to Yong to suppress the rebels with an army of 100,000.

At the same time, a new order was issued.

Train new troops!

The three generals and their 100,000 troops pushed forward in three directions and entered Yongzhou with overwhelming momentum.

Miao Xiu was stationed in Wuguan, Shi Heilang was stationed in Dafengguan, and Chen Wannian was stationed in Cangguan, blocking the eastward exit of the rebel thieves with the force of closing the door and beating the dogs.

The armies under the three men were all elite. Among them, Miao Xiu had the smallest number of soldiers, but they were all elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles.

After entering Wuguan, he immediately took over the local county soldiers, and the number of soldiers expanded to more than 80,000 in a very short period of time.

All the troops under Shi Heilang are Yue people, and they are best at fighting in the mountains and forests. Dafeng Pass happens to be located in the mountains and forests.

On the third day after entering Yong, Shi Heilang personally led his soldiers to attack the rebel camp and killed the Shan Dawang, one of the eighteen rebel kings

Just when everyone, even Zheng Yi, thought this was a protracted war, a piece of news came, which shocked everyone.

The leader of the Yongzhou rebels, Huang Tianwang Huang Wa'er, died suddenly!

"What? The rebel leader Huang Wa'er was killed?"

When he heard the news, Zheng Yi was also confused.

What's going on? How come the promised King Huang Tian and the promised rebel leader disappeared so quickly?

"Your Majesty, there is a military order from General Miao Xiu."

Lu Xiangqing said: "The killing of Huang Wa'er, the leader of the Yongzhou rebels, was all due to the contribution of one person."

"Oh, who?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Zheng Yi became interested and opened the battle report. After counting the breaths, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "I didn't expect it was him!"

"Wang Anshi!"
