After rebirth, I became a national teacher
Chapter 616
The capital city and Fujian Province were separated by more than 4,000 miles. It was more than ten days later when Emperor Yong'an first heard of the rebellion in Fujian Province.
At this time, he was still looking forward to the imperial guards pretending to be Japanese pirates bringing him back more wealth.
All the property looted last year was processed and turned into silver and fell into his hands.
Earlier this year, he used part of it to fill his private treasury and the other part to strengthen his armaments.
Faced with the crisis of being besieged on all sides and with limited money, he did not care to let his subordinates share the profits, and directly appointed the former commander of the imperial guards, Xiao Guangyu, to take the money and part of the imperial guards and go directly to the battlefield to reward the soldiers.
The effect of distributing the huge amounts of silver to soldiers at the border or on the battlefield was very significant.
The soldiers of the Hu tribe, who were originally at a disadvantage on the battlefield, were greatly boosted in morale and stopped retreating, thus stabilizing the existing city.
The battlefield in Hubei Province where the King of Shu was fought also recovered the lost territory of two cities.
On the battlefield in Qin Province, the rebel army was successfully defeated once.
Emperor Yong'an really tasted the sweetness and had higher expectations for this year's looting.
Who could have thought that something big would happen in Fujian Province just as this year's Japanese invasion began?
He immediately decided to silence all the people in that county who knew about the incident.
However, it was still too late.
The message was passed back and forth, and by the time his imperial edict reached Fujian Province, the local garrison had already mutinied under the instigation of Zhang Liu and his men.
The garrison troops in Fujian Province were all military households, and they had long been pushed to the extreme by the evil military household system and their blood-sucking superiors.
It is learned that if you submit to the God of Du'e, you can get rid of your military household status, retire at the age of 35, receive retirement pay, and even get land like ordinary people.
No military household would not be tempted.
They are all working hard for each other, so why don't they follow a master who treats them as human beings?
To cause a mutiny, all you need is a few people to organize secretly and then make a call.
The Fujian Provincial General who was loyal to Emperor Yong'an was sentenced to death on the spot by the evil demon Du'e because he had been corrupt and withheld military pay.
Without troops and with the power of Southern Capital between them, Emperor Yong'an completely lost control of Fujian Province.
After being frustrated and angry, Emperor Yong'an originally planned to take advantage of the fact that Nandu was about to shift its military forces to Fujian Province and send new Fengyang garrison troops to attack Nandu. However, he did not expect that before he could act, chaos broke out again in Qi and Lu.
Huiming led a team of men and sneaked into Qi and Lu from the sea, and informed the local wealthy families along the coast of what happened in Fujian Province.
The wealthy families were already in a state of panic because the Japanese pirates had targeted them last year.
Knowing that this was actually a trick of the current emperor, he naturally was unwilling to be a fat sheep to be slaughtered.
While they followed the example of Fujian Province in establishing a joint defense army, they also sent people to the capital and Fujian Province to gather information.
After confirming the authenticity of the news from Fujian Province, they directly closed all the city gates and began a city-wide search. They caught a group of imperial guards who had infiltrated the city and were preparing to cause chaos. Not only did they kill all of them, they also openly declared resistance to taxation.
It looked like a civil uprising was about to happen in Qi and Lu.
Emperor Yong'an immediately panicked.
Nowadays, the whole world is in chaos and war. The most prosperous Jiangnan province is occupied by the damned evil demon Du'e, and the second-rate Hubei province has also been plunged into war because of the rebellion of the King of Shu.
If another rebel army comes to Qi and Lu, the tax revenue of Wei's treasury will certainly be greatly reduced.
This will make the already stretched finances even worse.
What's even more dangerous is that the war with the Hu people to the north of the capital has not yet ended, and there are Qin province's volunteer army to the west. If the rebels in Qi and Lu to the south become powerful again, then he, the emperor, will have nowhere to retreat.
Nandu is a tough nut to crack. Attacking Nandu may cause great damage without any results. It is better to stabilize Qi and Lu first.
It was also because of this that Chen Qingzhu was able to smoothly and steadily complete the annexation of Fujian Province.
The Fengyang defenders fought with the wealthy families in Qi and Lu for four months, and finally wiped out the forces of these wealthy families in October.
