Chapter 187 General, please go to prison

Li Hongji's army gathered in Luzhou. From military analysis, his next target of invasion should be Yingtian Mansion, which is close to him.

At this time, Yingtian Prefecture, under the planning of Zhou Guoping and others, had already begun to launch a rebellion in the White Lotus Sect. Judging from the current progress, it was almost infuriated. It would be enough to eliminate local tyrants and evil gentry, a cult with great foundation in Yingtian Prefecture.

If Li Hongji's army is allowed to enter, it will not eliminate the local tyrants and evil gentry, but will completely turn a prosperous Yingtian Mansion into a hell on earth.

Yingtian Mansion should have been accepted in full, rather than being destroyed and recreated.

Yun Zhao could create a Lantian County, but there was no way to recreate a Chang'an City. In contrast, there was no way to create a Nanjing City. Some things were destroyed, which would be permanent damage.

The ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty was in the vast rural areas, not cities. For the Ming Dynasty, cities were just political machines that facilitated seizing rural wealth and their ruling machines.

Every time there is a change of dynasty, the most worrying thing is the farmers, not the merchants.

The White Lotus Sect can launch a controlled riot. In Yun Zhao's eyes, they are a group of wolves. These wolves can devour the sheep that are not suitable for existence and leave behind useful sheep.

Li Hongji failed. They were locusts and would swallow up the accumulation of Yingtian Mansion for hundreds of years.

How to choose is clear at a glance.

Yun Zhao could imagine that if the power of Lantian County was completely evacuated from Shandong, Hebei, and Shuntian Prefecture, these heroes who could not tolerate the dark rule of the court on the ground would not have to worry about Lantian secret spies and then rise up.

People like Li Hongji have special experience in rebellion.

Once these places begin to decay, with their special hobby for rot, it will take less time to send a large number of people into the rebellion area, and thus sporadic riots will turn into organized rebellion.

At this time, Li Hongji would definitely give up Yingtian Mansion, which had been guarding against him, and instead go to Shuntian Mansion. After all, there was a more important goal there - Emperor Chongzhen!

The highest mystery of rebellion is to pull the emperor off.

If Li Hongji did this, his reputation in the Ming Dynasty would rise, and he would consciously or unconsciously become the leader of all rebels. At the same time, for those who had not completely disappeared from the consciousness of small peasants such as Li Hongji.

After breaking through the capital and killing the emperor, it is probably time for him to ascend the throne and become emperor.

There will always be a vicious circle in the peasant uprising - before they were elected as emperor, they were brave and good at fighting, and after they became emperor, they immediately turned into a pile of garbage. The Ming Taizu was just the only one among this group of people who escaped from this vicious circle.

As for Li Zicheng, there is no exception.

Those who are as smart as Han Lingshan, Duan Guoren and Qian Shaoshao have already discovered that Yun Zhao has obviously lost patience to continue to maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

It was a dynasty that could not give people any hope. Every time they acted, they lowered the lower limit of the dynasty's rule.

Just understand these words in your heart, and you should not make them public.

Everyone was satisfied with the results of the discussion.

Hanlingshan, Qian Shaoshao’s suggestions on supporting the development of Lingnan’s cause have been strengthened.

Duan Guoren asked for steady progress, and his advice to be careful was also approved.

The one who was unlucky was just Emperor Chongzhen. Anyway, he was already very unlucky, and it would be nothing if he was unlucky one more time.

The early morning in Lantian County starts with a bowl of Hu spicy soup or a bowl of mutton soup.

They were eating hot and should have walked with their arms out of their arms, but they dared not.

A thin layer of ice has been formed on the street that has just been washed with clean water.

People walking on the road are cautiously afraid of falling.

This is a matter of no choice. Splashing clear water on the street is a business. If you don’t pour it a day, you will have no wages for a day. Therefore, it is better to let the ground freeze, and the stubborn Guanzhong people must splash water on the bluestone slabs.

A fall may not necessarily lead to death. If you don’t splash water, the wife and baby at home have no food to eat. This is a big deal!

"Are you a pig?"

The village chief in charge of this area caught the person who was responsible for sweeping the floor and splashing water and cursed.

"And you, if the leaves of the tree don't fall, you can shake it? This is the red maple coming from the mountains. If you shake it to death, you go to dig in the mountains?"

"Where are the fallen leaves..."

"What we want is this energy. The talented people from the academy like this street the most, and we can also rent houses on this street for a big price."

"If you have leaves on the ground, you will deduct your wages..."

"I don't care. There are only red leaves on the ground, and no other debris are allowed. If you don't do it well, your wages will still be deducted."

The sound of the yelling sounds of the inside mixed with the sound of selling Hula soup, pork buns, fried dough sticks, and roujiamo, and it became beautiful.

When the sun showed up, shops of all sizes in Lantian County opened the door panels and started doing business.

The guys took off the lanterns that they hung last night, and the paving boards were all opened. The windows of some shops were inlaid with bright glass, allowing the sunlight that had just arrived to penetrate into the shop.

The first ray of sunlight shines on it must be the seat of the shopkeeper. At this time, the shopkeeper lights a bag of cigarettes, brews a pot of tea, and drinks tea while smoking, with his eyes narrowed, enjoying the rare tranquility of the day.

Several fast horses passed through the street, listening to the rushing sound of horse hooves, were shouting at the inner-court of the idiot's subordinates, and immediately stopped scolding, his eyes slightly raised, and came to the middle of the street, staring at the bastard running wildly in the street market.

Gao Jie was in a hurry to go home, and his horse speed was faster. He saw someone standing in the middle of the street not far away, carrying a broom in his hand, which was quite stunning.

As soon as he was about to scold, he heard the bastard on the opposite side roar, "Get off the horse and accept the fine!"

Seeing this, Gao Jie's personal soldiers laughed and walked forward. One of them grabbed the head of the broom and the tail of the broom. With a little force, they lifted the bastard who stopped the general from returning home, and finally threw it into a pile of uncarried leaves.

So, the furious inner captain blew the whistle...

Then a gong sounded, and the short street boiled in an instant. Countless men in Lantian jumped out of their homes with weapons in their hands, and in an instant, they squeezed a street out of their way.

A man in the blue shirt walking in front frowned after seeing Gao Jie, put away the long knife in his hand, clasped his fists at Gao Jie, "Secretary Secretary Zhang Yuan, have seen General Gao."

Gao Jie pointed to the armed people all over the streets and said, "What are they going to do?"

Zhang Yuan said slowly: "Yesterday, the county magistrate ordered the secretary to prepare a celebration ceremony for the general. Unexpectedly, before the general accepted the celebration, he had to go to prison to think about his past."

Gao Jie smiled and said, "What mistake did I make?"

Zhang Yuan said word by word: "Lan Tianlu said - ride a horse before sunrise, and the horse's hooves are wrapped in cloth and will not disturb the people. After sunrise, ride a horse in the street, hold a horse in the threshold for three days, and fine it 300 yuan."

Gao Jie laughed and said, "Some family is Gao Jie, who has just returned from a great victory."

Zhang Yuan looked at the people around him and bowed together, "General He Gao returned with great honor in his battles!"

Gao Jie also clasped his fists and laughed, then said to Zhang Yuan: "So, can someone leave?"

Zhang Yuan looked back at the people who were gradually dispersing and shook his head and said, "No, you have to go to the county government to accept the questioning of Master Liu first. You can probably leave to attend the celebration. However, after the celebration, the general will still be imprisoned and detained for three days."

Gao Jie frowned and said, "I am no exception?"

Zhang Yuan sneered: "Even if the county magistrate violates the regulations, there will be no exception."

Gao Jie said: "What if a certain family wants to leave?"

The inner captain who came out of the pile of leaves roared: "Then kill all the people on this street first!"

Gao Jie leaned on the saddle and pointed at the people around him and said, "Look, they have left."

He said with his neck stammering inside, "They didn't run away, they went to prepare a rope net. General Gao, you have a high position and a powerful position. I heard that Jiannu was invincible on the grassland and ran away with his head.

Anyone from Lantian mentioned your name, he would give you a thumbs up.

We remember your achievements in our hearts, but today, you must go to the county government, and Lantian Rules cannot be defiled."

Gao Jie put away his smile and said coldly: "Okay, let's go to the county government. I want to see what Lao Liu will do to me."

Zhang Yuansu said, "General Gao, please, the county government is now opposite Zuoshizi, and the lower officials will lead you."

As he spoke, he turned around and went to the county government office with Gao Jie's reins.

Gao Jie's personal guard was about to get angry, but Zhang Yuan glared at him fiercely, and he didn't dare to go forward. He immediately became a little angry and wanted to go forward, but Gao Jie repelled him. He had to follow Gao Jie in confusion and walked towards the county government.

Zhang Yuan looked up at Gao Jie and said, "Where did the general's former personal guards go?"

Gao Jie said lightly: "Some died in the evil battle with the Mongols, some died in the battle with Jiannu, and the only two remaining people also died in the battle to capture Geng Jingzhong alive."

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, "I forgive them for being rude."

Gao Jie smiled and said, "Why do you have to forgive? Lantian's law is not ready to be followed?"

Zhang Yuan looked back at the two guards and said, "The law of Lantian is very strict, but it will also give people a chance, so that no one will say that it is being punished without teaching."

"Why are you so strict with me?"

Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "General is different. You are using a knowingly committing crimes to test the work of us. If you are appointed, you must let the general get what you want."

Gao Jie laughed and said, "I am worthy of being a secretary and a teacher, but I am able to speak."

Zhang Yuan said: "The general is my Lantian hero. I have not returned to my hometown for many years. Now I am back. I must see if Lantian County is worth the general's bloody battle for it, and whether so many good brothers sacrifice their lives for the country.

General, during the six years you left, the county master and all the comrades at home, were not slacking off, and each of us was moving forward steadily according to the plan we set out.

The general fought bravely at the border to expand the country's territory. We worked diligently at home and worked hard to make everyone live a good life.

General, let’s see, these markets in front of you have become the largest trade market in the Ming Dynasty, and the goods here can travel to the ocean to the distant Europe.

It can also be loaded on the camel's back, cross the boundless desert, and go straight to the Western Regions.

Today, Lantian County has food, weaving, and living in houses. Of course, there are places for punishment for deliberately breaking laws and disciplines like the general."

Gao Jie laughed loudly when he heard this, and seemed to be very happy.
