my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 568 Secret Weapon
After Zhu Yong heard this, he couldn't help being depressed.

But Zhang Anshi immediately comforted him and said: "There will be more opportunities in the future, so why fight for a while."

Zhu Yong also had no choice but to say: "Brother, I understand! Hey... I don't know how the fourth brother is now, he is far away, and there is no news. When he was last year, a fleet came back, but he refused to repair one. Here comes the letter."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Qiu Song is like this. If he is willing to write a letter and come back, I feel strange. If there is a letter about him over there, it must be that he was kidnapped in Europe and forced by gangsters." He wrote a letter demanding a ransom."

Zhu Yong pondered for a moment, and actually felt that it was reasonable, and immediately smiled coquettishly, and said: "Brother is right, and brother knows fourth brother best!"

However, he finally let out a long sigh, feeling regretful.

……

The next day, there was a decree that the king of song and the scholar Zhang Anshi restrained the army to hunt for thieves.

Zhang Anshi received the decree, but the atmosphere in the court inevitably became subtle.

Obviously, although this rebellion was beyond people's expectations, it can also be called expected.

First of all, it is to dig out the roots of others, and then to punish them. In many people's opinion, if it is themselves, it will be the opposite.

For a group of ministers headed by Yang Rong, they believed that this was not a good time to suppress the rebellion. They hoped to endure it for the time being, of course, for the sake of the court.

However, there are also a large number of people who are quite eager for this. They hope that the rebels will make more trouble, the better, and it is best for the court to make a compromise, or even... to appease.

And once this is the case, the New Deal will come to an abrupt end.

The rebellion of the Chief Envoys of Fujian and Guangxi is actually just the beginning, and the people who are ready to move now have already sharpened their knives.

They have no way out, and the reason why they dare not rebel is only out of fear. Now, everyone is looking at Fujian and Guangxi, hoping that this rebellion should be as successful as possible. As long as it can persist, then... ...I can also take this opportunity to simply reverse it.

For a time, people panic.

All kinds of rumors began to spread in the capital.

I don't know who is building the momentum in the dark, so that all kinds of bad news are everywhere.

Some said that the rebels in Fujian had occupied Fuzhou, some said that the scale had reached [-], and some said that there were also rebels in Zhejiang and Jiangxi.

What's more, it is also said that the rebels have already left Fujian and other places, and Bingfeng is heading north all the way to Nanjing City.

This kind of news is so loud that many people may not believe it, but after hearing a lot, they can't help but start to panic.

Of course, not all people are panicked, at least in many university halls, some people have begun to sharpen their swords.

In addition, even among Jinyiwei and the model camp, there were people who longed for something in their hearts.

This time, His Royal Highness Song Wang was ordered to suppress the rebellion, so he must gather troops, but he didn't know if he would be selected. Once he followed His Royal Highness Song Wang to suppress the rebellion, he might earn a military merit.

Over the years, with the implementation of the New Deal, many people made contributions with His Royal Highness King Song, and changed their fate in an instant.Such miracles have happened countless times, and naturally, countless younger generations are eager to follow suit.

It's just that the world has been generally peaceful in the past few years, and there have been few wars, which inevitably makes people a little disappointed, but now...the time has come.

It's just... Song Wang Zhang Anshi, although he accepted the order, he didn't intend to immediately order the troops to set off. He was still calm and calm, and the old god was there.

Someone went to Song Wangfu to find out, and the answer they got was only that they were preparing, and they were preparing.

…………

"His Majesty……"

Yi Shiha tiptoed and poured tea in front of Zhu Di.

In the literary building, Zhu Di was sitting upright. He dropped a memorial, took the teacup casually, and took a sip.

Zhu Di seemed to have thought of something at this time, so he said, "Is there any movement in the model camp?"

"There is no movement yet." Yi Shiha knew Zhu Di well, and immediately understood what Zhu Di wanted to know most, so he said again: "Your Majesty, King Song is still in the palace these few days."

"Oh." Zhu Di just responded lightly, but didn't say anything more.

Yishiha then said again: "It's the Guangdong chief envoy... I heard that something is not peaceful, this is the report from Jinyiwei."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, there are still people who want to rebel?"

Yi Shiha looked at Zhu Di's face, and said: "I heard that someone forged weapons privately..."

Sure enough, Zhu Di's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Why don't you take someone?"

Yi Shiha hurriedly said: "The local government... actually... concealed it and did not report it. If it weren't for someone from Jin Yiwei to detect it, I'm afraid... the court is still in the dark, Your Majesty... I think that there are people preparing to make trouble there Yes, do you..."

Zhu Di took a breath, thought for a while, and said, "Let Zhang Qing deal with it. I don't doubt my employing people, and I don't use suspicious people."

Yi Shiha listened and nodded.

But even though he heard Zhu Di say this, he also knew that His Majesty is actually extremely impatient. After all...the rebellion has already begun, and now there are only two rebellions. In every prefecture and county in the world, countless people will follow suit.

And once this happens, there will be rebellion everywhere. For the court, there will be a big problem. Even if it takes a lot of effort to suppress the rebellion, the loss will be unbearable.

You know, a rebellion sweeping the world is enough to destroy the achievements of Da Ming's decades of peace.

His Majesty was looking forward to Zhang Anshi's decisive attack, but he didn't expect that under such a tight time, Zhang Anshi would still stay in the capital and refused to leave. It was even heard that he didn't even have the manpower ready. Can this not teach His Majesty to be anxious?

If it weren't for Zhang Anshi, who won Zhu Di's trust, I'm afraid that whoever dares to do this in this world, Zhu Di would kill him and feed him to the dogs.

It is a big deal to delay the military plane.

At this moment, Zhu Di sighed and said, "Actually, I sometimes think that these thieves would be better off if they turned around. I have been a soldier for half my life, and I am not afraid of fighting. The only thing I am afraid of is those enemies in the dark..."

Yi Shiha forced a smile: "It's good to go against it, but once there is a military disaster, I'm afraid..."

Before Yi Shiha could continue, Zhu Di nodded and said, "This is what I am worried about. No matter what, the world belongs to me. If one place is damaged, I will be distressed."

As Zhu Di said, he squinted his eyes and looked at a certain place, groaning in silence, with a thoughtful look on his face.

……

But at this time, in Song Wang's mansion, there were letters one after another, which were sent out quickly.

In fact, Zhang Anshi was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. On the surface, he seemed to have done nothing, but on the inside, he was extremely anxious every day, waiting for news all the time.

For many days, he did not sleep well.

Right now, there are no visitors to the Palace of the Song Dynasty, but Zhang Anshi knows that the whole capital is actually looking at him, the Song Dynasty.

As for the gossip outside, he has heard a lot, so he can only show an indifferent attitude towards it.

These rumors, in fact, are meaningless if you just preach and debate.

The only thing that makes people shut up is the battle report.

As long as one day the battle report does not come, then... If you talk about it, there will always be someone with countless reasons to make you speechless.

"Your Highness, there is an official document from the Post Office."

Zhang San came in a hurry and delivered an official document to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi took it, looked carefully, his face changed slightly, then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Success or failure depends on one action."

…………

Fujian chief envoy.

Pingtan Station.

The sudden military disaster instantly made people panic here.

Because the post station was the target of the rebels, upon hearing the news, the post station asked everyone to avoid it temporarily.

Not long after, the station was occupied by bandits. An old postman was captured by the rebels and killed his head.

At this time, Deng Da and Xia Xuan found a farmhouse and hid for a few days. Fortunately, the farmer was considered real and did not confess to the two of them. People are more worried.

The rebel army has become more and more powerful, and now they claim to be [-]. Not only have they occupied many counties, but it is also rumored that they are about to besiege Fuzhou.

And in Fuzhou City, there seemed to be many people who secretly communicated with the rebels, and even... the officers and soldiers of the Yilu Guards also surrendered.

At this time, Pingtan was not occupied by the rebels. After looting, they marched northward. After all, this place was neither a thoroughfare nor an important military town, so it was worthless.

Deng Da was fine, he was observing the current situation while trying his best to contact Yicheng.

It seems that at this time, he was worried about the safety of the post office in Fuzhou, so... he tried his best to find out the news about Fuzhou.

Xia Xuan was different, he had never been so depressed.

He just got used to this place not long ago, although he didn't feel that there might be any great achievements in this station, but gradually, he became familiar with this land and the people here, but who knows, everything will change overnight. reduced to nothing.

On the roads in the countryside, you can even see many dead bones without owners. Almost all Zhuangzi have begun to enter a state of self-preservation.

Xia Xuan has an inexplicable worry. In fact, it is not that they have no chance to escape from this place.

Here is near the sea, and there are rebels everywhere by land, but if you go by boat, you may not be able to pass the range of the rebels and go directly north.

What's more, there are many people here who are willing to provide such help.

only……

When he was really about to leave, Deng Da remained silent.

Xia Xuan then asked Deng Da, "Sir... don't you want to leave?"

Deng Da asked him back, "Do you want to leave?"

Xia Xuan thought for a while, then shook his head.

Deng Da said: "Why?"

Xia Xuan only pondered for a moment, and said sincerely: "In my whole life, I have only done one serious thing, which is to be a soldier here. Hard work is hard work, exhaustion is also exhausting, but after a long time, I feel that... man It’s good to be alive, to live like this. Besides, I already have a few disciples here, and they are all looking forward to studying, and there is also the grandma in Shangjiaoli, who is old and deaf. I just look forward to my son who is far away in a foreign land repairing books for him and come back. Every time I appear outside the village and she gets a message, no matter where I am, even if my feet are bound, I will come and ask if there is any letter from her. ……I……"

After Xia Xuan finished speaking, he lowered his head.

Deng Da smiled, and said: "It's strange to say, it's clearly just delivering letters and doing errands, how come it suddenly seems to be the hope of many people..."

Xia Xuan said: "No matter what, I don't want to leave now, I want to... wait and see."

Deng Da only pursed his lips in silence.

Two days later, Yicheng sent someone to bring a letter.

The two of them had handled too many letters, but for the first time, this letter was for them.

The two immediately lifted their spirits, no matter what, at least...the higher up finally got in touch with them.

After unpacking and reading the letter, the two of them took a closer look, and then... both took a breath of cold air in unison.

After looking at each other, Deng Da said, "What do you think?"

Xia Xuan was a little confused for a while, and said, "I don't know, I'm a little scared."

Deng Da thought about it for a while and said: "The salary of eating the king and the matter of being loyal to the king, what is there to fear from His Royal Highness Song's edict? You might as well... give it a try."

Xia Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said: "Listen to Mr. Deng."

In the evening of that day, a glow in the sky slowly fell into the night.

That's by the coast.

Shocking turbulent waves beat against the tidal flats, and the crashing sea water resounded endlessly.

Faintly, there were lights in the distance.

The light came closer and closer.

Immediately, dozens of boats washed up on the beach, and dozens of men came ashore with fish baskets on their backs.

This is Danmin.

Because of the sudden chaos, the Dan people no longer dared to help the old and the young to go ashore to sell fish. Most of them went ashore in groups of men, and most of the time, they chose to go ashore at dusk. escape.

They have been bullied all the time, and they have already developed many ways to protect themselves.

After the man with the fish basket landed, suddenly, someone called out, "Is Wu Erke here?"

As soon as this statement came out, many men turned pale with fright and looked around one after another.

Many people let out a long sigh of relief when they saw that it was Deng Da and Xia Xuan who had come.

Dan people are wary of anyone, even those with whom they trade fish.Not trusting anyone is their philosophy of life, and those who don't believe in this are already dead.

But for Deng Da and Xia Xuan, they have an indescribable trust.

Immediately, a man stepped forward quickly and said in a low voice: "You two gentlemen, why are you here at this time... Don't you know that it's not peaceful now..."

There was reproach in the man's voice.

This person is Wu Er.

Deng Da smiled casually and said, "I'm here to deliver a letter to you."

Wu Er was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said: "The new issue of the mansion newspaper?"

"It's indeed a mansion newspaper, but this mansion newspaper is different." Deng Da looked at Wu Er, and then at the other men who surrounded him.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Are you clear about the current situation?"

"No one knows about the chaos."

Deng Da took a deep look at Wu Er and said, "Do you know why there is such a rebellion?"

"This..." Wu Er didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He really couldn't answer.

Deng Da said: "You...have read the mansion newspapers for so many days, don't you know?"

"Also please see the teacher."

Deng Da said: "Let me ask you, how much do you know about the New Deal in the mansion newspaper?"

Wu Er said without hesitation: "Naturally, I know that it is necessary to build railways, build schools, distribute land to the people, and..."

The men whispered one after another. Of course, the New Deal in the Dibao was obviously too far away from them, as if... this was something that happened in another world.

Deng Da said: "Wu Er, you are clear about the situation in Zhili now?"

"I know this..."

Deng Da looked at Wu Er seriously: "Then let me ask you, why did they rebel?"

"This……"

Seeing Wu Er's hesitation, Deng Da said: "It's because of the new policy. The imperial court wants to implement the new policy in Fujian, but many corrupt officials and local tyrants are very dissatisfied. Curse."

After Wu Er heard it, he immediately began to think of the content in the previous mansion newspapers, and also thought of what he had seen and heard in these days, so he frowned.

At first, when he saw what happened in the Di Baozhong and Zhili, he was envious in his heart.

This kind of envy is by no means envy in the ordinary sense, because to him, a Danmin, he is not even as good as an ordinary tenant.

Deng Da said: "I really didn't expect that the Fujian chief envoy was just about to promote the new policy, but now... because of this, such a thing that benefits the country and the people will die prematurely."

A gleam of anger flashed across Wu Er's eyes. This anger was obviously directed at some people. He said sullenly, "Is there nothing we can do about them?"

Deng Da said: "They have engulfed a lot of people, and the officers and soldiers are unable to attack immediately. These rebels rely on this, so they dare to make trouble."

The other Dan people, the more they listened, the more confused they became.

In a sense, the words "ignorant people" are not groundless.

These people who have been fishing all their lives, have never read and written, and have no one to teach them their knowledge, in a sense, they are no different from the walking dead.

When they heard Deng Da and Wu Er talk to each other, they felt confused.

Some people even became anxious, worried that if the delay continued, today's fish would not be sold.

Wu Er bowed his head and remained silent.

There is resentment in his heart.

This kind of resentment, in fact, does not need Deng Da to him, it has already been accumulated.

Wu Er is willing to study, and he has also worked hard.

But once you start reading and writing, and start reading newspapers to understand the world, the fire in your heart cannot be extinguished.

A person who can't read can live in a daze, only running around for two meals a day.

But a person who has studied can't be reconciled to living a mediocre life by fishing all his life.

After a pause, Wu Er suddenly raised his head, looked at Deng Da with a strange look, and said, "Sir, didn't you say that you want to send me something? Where is it?"
