I'm really not the carpenter emperor

……

The explosion in the Guyuan Armory was determined to be man-made from the very beginning, but other than that, the Guyuan government and the Guyuan army knew nothing about it.

Although the explosion of the armory this time was far less powerful than the one at Wang Gong's factory in the capital, it was the first explosion in the armory on the Nine Sides, which damaged the soldiers of the frontier army.

Coincidentally, this kind of major event has never happened before, but it happened after Zhu Youxiao arrived in Shaanxi and announced the new policy to reform the guard.

When Guo Qin's personal soldier flew to Pingliang Mansion, what he saw was a scene where the city gate was closed and no ghosts were seen. He got off his horse and kept knocking on the city gate.

"Guyuan Marshal Guo's personal soldiers came to borrow tools from the Pingliang government to repair the city wall and dig the ruins. Human lives are at stake. Please open the city gate!"

He yelled a few words, his voice was a little dry, and the city gate remained motionless.

As a last resort, the soldier got on his horse again and rushed to Zhenyuan County, Jingzhou, Chongxin County and other places, but was refused entry on the grounds that the Guyuan Armory exploded and various places were under martial law.

When he returned to the city of Pingliangfu again, the city gate was opened, but many well-dressed local generals and servants came out.

A thousand households in the guard said: "Who dares to knock on the door without authorization? I don't know that the Guyuan Armory exploded, and the entire Pingliang Mansion is under martial law!"

The soldiers over there hurriedly said: "Finally there are people! Please report to the magistrate's yamen quickly, saying that there are not enough tools in Guyuan City, please help repair the city walls and dig the ruins with some tools!"

"If you can provide some manpower, I will be very grateful!"

That Qianhu rolled his eyes, his face softened immediately, and he said with a smile: "It turns out that they are people under the tent of Marshal Guo in Guyuan, and this Qianhu has lost sight of Mount Tai, please come with me!"

Chapter 855 Settling Troops in Shaanxi

"Where is this place, shouldn't you go to the government office?"

The soldiers took a closer look, and only then did they see clearly that this is not the Pingliang government office, it is clearly a big prison.

He had long felt something was wrong, and immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife, "What are you doing, I am a member of the Guyuan Army!"

"Guyuan Army, what are you better than us?" Now that he has come to his own territory, Qianhu also showed his fox tail.

"You eat well, wear well, use well, and all of you put your tails up in the sky, thinking that you have conquered the world, but how is your frontier army better than our guards?"

Realizing that something was wrong, the soldiers immediately drew out their gleaming silver sabers, and shouted, "Could it be that the explosion in the armory is what you did!"

"If you ruin Daming's future, aren't you afraid of regretting it later?"

Qianhu sneered: "You don't have to put a high hat on me, I don't want to do what you do, come here, chop this guy up and feed it to the dogs!"

"If Guo Qin sends someone to ask, just say that you haven't seen it, and see what he can do."

A member of the guard also took out a waist knife, "I have long wanted to see how much the self-proclaimed elite Nine Frontiers are worth!"

Before the words were finished, several guard soldiers came out from behind the personal soldier and rushed forward.

With a loud cry, the soldiers kicked one person down in front of them, and slashed the other with a knife, but they could not beat four hands with their fists. After a short time, they were subdued by a group of guards and tied up.

The soldiers said angrily: "Bold and crazy, how dare you kill the soldiers of the Nine Borders without authorization! Guo Shuai will not spare you, His Majesty of Xi'an will not spare you!"

Qianhu continued to sneer, and came to the soldiers: "You should keep these words under Jiuquan, and wait for your Marshal Guo to say it!"

"He is also in danger now. Do you think that the court doesn't need someone to convict him after such a big incident?"

Not long after, Qianhu came to the government office, cupped his hands and said, "My lords, it seems that the White Lotus Sect has already succeeded."

"The person who came to ask for tools claimed to be a frontier soldier from Guyuan. I have killed the soldiers under Guo Qin's tent. This is his armor."

Several civil officials are local officials such as Bingbei Road, Fen Xun Dao, Fen Shou Dao, and Inspection Censor in Pingliang Mansion and Guyuan area.

When they heard the words, they all looked at each other, Bing Beidao first picked up the armor and looked at it carefully, and then looked at the blood-stained saber of the soldier.

Then, trembling all over, sat on the seat.

"What did you kill him for?"

"This armor is the basalt iron armor equipped by Nine Sides, and this saber is the refined steel goose-winged knife that only the commander of Nine Sides has."

"This time, we got into a big disaster!"

The branch inspector also widened his eyes, and murmured: "It's a big deal if it affects the Nine Sides. I just hope that those Bailian evil party can handle things cleanly!"

"Don't leave any clues, find out on us..."

……

Xi'an, the former Shaanxi Dusi Yamen, is now the "palace" of Zhu Youxiao.

"These people are too presumptuous!"

When Zhu Youxiao received the news from Guyuan, he was really furious.

After all, he is a time traveler from a later age, so this kind of thing doesn't need any evidence at all. If you think about it, you know that it must be the civil and military gang in the guard, and the local officials who acquiesced in this matter.

To deal with this group of people, Zhu Youxiao already understood that the approach of later generations of the Da Qing Dynasty is the most correct way.

As long as the ordinary people's lives are not moved, no matter how chaotic the officialdom is, the world will not be chaotic.

The reorganization of the Weisuo, saying that it is for the military households and the common people, is all nonsense. At first, Zhu Youxiao only had one idea, to make himself more stable in the position of emperor.

What moved was the cake of the entire Shaanxi officialdom, and only one class benefited, that is, the emperor Zhu Youxiao and the emperors of this line in the future.

The system of guards has been corrupted for a long time, and the investigation by the military has involved almost all the powerful and powerful classes in all places, such as landlords, wealthy merchants, civil servants and military generals, and even the sons and daughters of the royal family...

If it is really investigated, the people involved will never be exhausted!

No matter what the place is, Zhu Youxiao can still deal with it calmly, but the nature of the incident has changed when the disturbance has reached a major town on the Nine Borders.

This is related to whether the northern border is stable, especially now that there are strong enemies in the north and Jianzhou in the east is still lingering, so there should be no troubles.

"Zhao Jinyiwei Commander Xu Xianchun investigated and seized the explosion of the Guyuan Armory, and ordered Qianhu Tian Ergeng, Sun Yunhe, Yang Huan, and Cui Yingyuan to lead the Beizhen Fusi and Dongchang Supervising Division to cooperate."

"Pass down my decree, summon the three towns of Datong, Xuanfu, and Ningxia to aid in the suppression of Shaanxi, and divide the towns into Qingyang, Pingliang, and Changping."

"Call the three guards of Tongzhou and Baoding and Zhending soldiers and horses to help Shaanxi, and divide the towns into Lintao, Hanzhong, and Huaiqing."

"Martial law in the whole province of Shaanxi, checkpoints are set up at the gates!"

Soon, Zhu Youxiao's imperial decree was rushed to various places by Ti riding a flying horse.

For a moment, all the eyes of the whole country were focused on Shaanxi. The emperor's attitude this time was unbelievably tough. After such troubles happened, he even insisted on reforming the guard.

All the four thousand families of Jinyiwei rushed to Shaanxi, and even Xu Xianchun, the commander of the capital, arrived. Together with the local supervisory department of the East Factory, they did their best to investigate and deal with the explosion of the Guyuan Armory.

Obviously, Zhu Youxiao wanted to take this bombing case as a model and investigate it severely.

This is not over yet. Since the reform of the guard, this is the first time that the imperial court has used the frontier army and the elite Beijing army to escort the reform on a large scale.

Zhu Youxiao issued a decree, and the whole thing rose from the reform guard to an unprecedented height. The scale of mobilization of the frontier army and the Beijing army in the three towns was about 20.

The frontier armies of Datong, Xuanfu, and Ningxia entered Shaanxi under the leadership of Zhang Wanbang, Ma Yong, and Jiang Bi respectively.

In June, the Datong Army, Xuanfu Army, and Ningxia Army successively took over the city defense and military equipment of Qingyang, Pingliang, and Changping Prefectures from the Weisuo Army.

When the frontier troops arrived there, they seized power from the generals of the guards in an extremely arrogant gesture.

In Qingyang Mansion, a guard of Qingyang Mansion, Qianhu, was unwilling to hand over the city defense and military power, and was killed on the spot by Zhang Wanbang, the deputy general of Shanxi.

In this regard, Zhu Youxiao said nothing, which is equivalent to acquiescing.

Since then, the frontier army has become more aggressive towards the generals of the guards. When Ma Yong, the deputy general of Ningxia, entered Pingyang Fucheng, the local guards would not open the door.

Immediately, Ma Yong ordered the township guns to be removed, blasted open the city gate, led the Ningxia army to rush into the city, and forcibly disarmed the guards in the city.

Moreover, Ma Yong sent more than [-] people from thousands of households and their family members who commanded the guards to close the city gates to the big prison for custody.

As for Jiang Bi, he was the smoothest one.

Among Jiang's generals, there are two commanders in the nine sides, and more than ten juniors have made meritorious service successively, and they have served in various places as the commander-in-chief and generals, and they are second to none even in the whole country.

When Jiang Bi led his troops into Changping Mansion, almost none of the guard troops put up any resistance, and even the local guard generals went out of the city several miles to meet him.

Even so, after Jiang Bi entered the city and took control of the city defense, he mercilessly abolished the authority of these guard generals and imprisoned their servants.

By the end of June, more than [-] official troops from Tongzhou Sanwei, Zhending, and Baoding also entered Shaanxi in batches to take over the city defenses of various prefectures in Shaanxi Province.

In addition, the Beijing army began to set up checkpoints in Shaanxi, interrogating pedestrians and businessmen along the way.

At the junction of Shanxi, Shanxi, Huguang, and Henan provinces, the Beijing army deployed more troops and checked the household registration and road guides before allowing passage.

If you are a merchant, those who sell salt need to check the salt quotations, those who sell groceries need a business license, and those who sell cattle and sheep also need relevant quotations.

Chapter 856 White lotus!White lotus!

Guyuan Armory.

Many people surrounded the front yard. This time, the four thousand households of Jinyiwei gathered in Shaanxi, precisely because the imperial court attached great importance to the explosion of the frontier army's arsenal.

Not only Jinyiwei, but also the supervisors and co-organizers of the Supervision Department of the Dongji Incident Factory's branch office in Guyuan were all alarmed, and they surrounded the armory with a group of gangsters.

The county magistrate and experience in Guyuan City also led the civil officials to stand on the other side, looking at the smoke-filled field with lingering fear.

The fire had been extinguished, but the armory in the important town of Guyuan was completely wiped out.

Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, Dongchang Supervision Department, County Magistrate Yamen, Experience Department, Local Inspection Department... It was a dark scene.

Although there were many of them, there was silence inside and outside.

Like the supervisor in the East Factory, everyone looked at the livid faces of Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Wang Chengen, the attendant next to the emperor, and dared not take a breath.

"I've seen the Commander." The supervisor of the East Factory here hesitated for a long time before taking the initiative to step forward and said with fists clasped.

On the side, the local magistrate opened his mouth, frowned and wanted to say something, but seeing the faces of the two people sent by the emperor to investigate the case, he still didn't dare to speak.

After a while, Xu Xianchun said expressionlessly:

"How about the casualties?"

"Returning to the envoy, all the wives and children of General Guo Qin, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan, died in this disaster. Only 16 people from the Hefu survived, and 320 people from the Guyuan frontier army were killed by the rescuers."

Xu Xianchun mourned for a moment in silence for Guo Qin, the outstanding commander of the Nine Sides, and then said:

"In an important town on the nine borders like Guyuan, the arsenal can explode right under His Majesty's nose. Are there all wolves, tigers and leopards in Shaanxi?"

On the side, the eunuch Wang Cheng'en, the supervisor of ceremonies, said: "Even if there are really wolves, tigers and leopards, the real dragon descends to earth, and they can still be overwhelmed."

Xu Xianchun suddenly heard a faint cry for help coming from the ruined wall in front of him, without him needing to speak out, the staff of the supervisory department rushed forward and scraped away the ruins.

Halfway through the process, I saw a plaque with the seven characters "Guyuan Frontier Armory" written in gray and black.

After a while, the staff of the supervisory department hurriedly greeted them, saying that they found a square inch of land supported by a piece of wood from under the broken wall.

There was a person curled up under this corner, and when he was carried out by the supervisor's hand, his breath was already weak.

Guo Qin, the general soldier of Guyuan, recognized that this person was his own soldier.

The soldier's eyebrows and hair were burnt, and his face was covered with black charcoal traces. The first time he came out, he breathed in the fresh air outside.

Seeing this man's embarrassment, the magistrate and other civil officials laughed dumbfoundedly, but soon, they covered their mouths and said nothing more.

Xu Xianchun looked at one of them, who was the clerk of the Experience Department, and spoke coldly:

"Does the clerk think this person is ridiculous?"

The clerk waved his hands again and again to apologize, "No, that's not the case! I just thought of the joy at home, and couldn't help but say..."

Xu Xianchun had bigger things to think about, so he just glanced at him: "I hope you can still laugh when you are under pressure."

The clerk had a detached position in the guard, and he was timid and did not dare to provoke the commanding officer of Jinyi Guard, who is now a majestic guard. His face was ashen, and he retreated and hid among the many civil servants.

Guo Qin squatted down, took off his large fashionable shirt, put it on the soldier, put him firmly on the ground, put his hand on the soldier's shoulder, and said softly:

"It's good to rest and don't talk."

The tears that suddenly appeared on the soldier's face diluted the original black charcoal traces. Seeing that Guo Qin was about to get up and leave, he stretched out his hand to hold him tightly.

"Marshal, Bai, Bailian Sect...!"

Before the last word was finished, the soldier kicked his legs, his eyes widened, his head tilted, and he fell on Guo Qin's red hair.

Wang Chengen couldn't help saying: "Loyal man, let's have a burial!"

Guo Qin nodded, didn't say much, just waved his hand, and three other soldiers stepped forward and carried the body away on a stretcher.

Xu Xianchun was also moved by it, and cursed fiercely:

"White Lotus Sect is so rampant in Shanxi and Shaanxi. The supervision department of Dongchang has been set up for several years, and they didn't check it out. They even made a fuss in Guyuan and asked, are they all idiots?"

The supervisor, the co-organizer and the Dongchang Fan servants knelt down in panic, and the supervisor said:

"My lord, the princes and dukes are enlightened!"
