The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Qin Hong was slightly unhappy. Yan Chengjin had intervened in the affairs of the Ministry of War again. He, the Minister of War, had no sense of existence.

"From what Lord Yan said, it seems that the agreement was made when Wang Shouren left Beijing? Yan Chengjin! How did you know that the Li people would rebel!"

Yan Chengjin noticed that Qin Hong was a little angry.

Repeated intervention in the affairs of the Ministry of War made it inevitable that there would be a gap between him and Qin Hong.

If the initiative of admonition was handed over to the Ministry of War.

According to the practice of the Ministry of War, it would definitely select one person from the court to quell the rebellion, but no one would be as good as Wang Shouren.

Qin Hong and others did not know Wang Shouren's military talent. They only recognized the military generals in the court. If they rashly sent other people, they would harm the court.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly to Emperor Hongzhi: "It is not difficult to guess. The people of Hainan make a living by hunting fish. When they see the food in the Tuntian Camp, they will naturally rob it."

Historically, the uprising of Fu Nanshe was no less noisy than that of Milu. He had known about it for a long time.

Li Dongyang nodded.

This kid has always been cautious, so it's not surprising to take extra precautions.

Emperor Hongzhi's face did not change, but he was more concerned about whether Wang Shouren could quell the rebellion.

Ordinary people recruited temporarily are certainly not as good as soldiers.

"Don't even need to allocate the waste?"

"The Tuntianying is cultivated in Hainan, and there is a lot of food." Yan Chengjin analyzed carefully.

Emperor Hongzhi thought of Wang Shouren's performance in the parade ground, and his eyes were still a little suspicious: "Wang Qing's family must not have time to train? Can they defeat the Li people in Hainan with such a hasty battle?"

Like the Da Tengxia Rebellion of the previous dynasty and the Milu Rebellion a few years ago, the court lost tens of thousands of soldiers and generals before they were suppressed.

Therefore, the Tusi riots were extremely difficult in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi.

"I don't know if Wang Shouren can quell the rebellion."

Yan Chengjin was only 30% sure, and he would not be cautious if he had more.

Wang Shouren also obtained troops by recruiting militia to quell the Ning Wang Rebellion.

But at that time, Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind was very advanced, and he had a way of fooling people.

And now, Wang Shouren was just a weakling who had just entered the novice village and was about to start leveling up.

"Please allow your majesty to recruit soldiers in Hainan to quell the rebellion of the Li people."

Yan Chengjin guessed that Wang Shouren should have been recruiting soldiers at this time.

If your majesty does not allow it, it would be a serious crime of treason.

Liu Jian looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a worried look in his eyes: "No, Hainan is mainly populated by Li people, and private soldiers have no military preparations. Once this precedent is set, the governor of the southwest and the imperial envoy of the southeast to suppress bandits can also recruit private soldiers in the name of fighting bandits?"

Ma Wensheng and Qin Hong knelt on the ground, shouting in opposition.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly and said: "The Wang family is weak, so let's send the Guangdong Navy to Hainan to quell the rebellion. Who do you think is suitable?"

Yan Chengjin felt uncomfortable. As expected, man's plans are not as good as God's plans.

By the time the decree reaches Guangdong, the people in the Tuntian Camp have passed the seventh day of their death. Wang Shouren will not sit still and wait for death. At this time, he must have recruited private soldiers.

If you don't get your majesty's approval, it's treason!

Shouren, I'm sorry for you...

His majesty doesn't agree.

Qin Hong was slightly happy and said, "Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Zuo Zongyi."

"Well, pass the decree." Emperor Hongzhi said to Xiao Jing.

Yan Chengjin has a second rescue plan: "Your Majesty, I have another thing to report. After the rebellion is suppressed, how will the Li people in Hainan be dealt with?"

During the Da Tengxia Rebellion, Han Yong killed almost all the chieftains, leaving only some chieftains to be taken back to the palace as slaves.

The most famous among them was Emperor Hongzhi's mother, Ji.

If all the Li people were killed like when the Da Tengxia was pacified, all the natives of Hainan would disappear, which is equivalent to destroying the island.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and pondered, but didn't think about how to deal with it.

"Why not teach them how to farm? Hainan has fertile land and lacks labor for farming. With the Li people farming, the summer tax and autumn grain in the future will not be inferior to that of Nanzhili."

When it comes to summer tax and autumn grain, the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang and others shine, especially Han Wen, who stares at Yan Chengjin, wishing he could turn into a roundworm and get into Yan Chengjin's stomach.

Seeing that the time is right, Yan Chengjin hurriedly said: "Please ask Eunuch Xiao to take out the map of Hainan."

After a while, Xiao Jing brought the map and several eunuchs spread it out together.

Yan Chengjin pointed to the map: "Now only a small piece of Qiongzhou Prefecture has been reclaimed. If there are Li people in Hainan, all the wasteland in Hainan will be reclaimed next year."

One person rebels, and the whole family ascends to heaven.

Fu Nanshe's rebellion is a capital crime, which is equivalent to pushing the Li people into the abyss. Regardless of their wives, children, and widows, they will all be killed.

The Li people can open up wasteland, which is equivalent to saving the lives of the elderly, the weak, women and children in disguise.

It also saved Wang Shouren's life.

Yan Chengjin suddenly felt that he was a bit noble...

"The son of a traitor will be a traitor in the future, how can he be kept?" Qin Hong frowned.

If you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again in the future.

Ma Wensheng nodded and said: "After Han Yong pacified Da Tengxia, there was no rebellion in Guangxi. Although it was a bit cruel to the chieftains, it was effective."

The Li rebellion was repeatedly suppressed. Hainan was far away from the Ming Dynasty. Once the Li rebellion broke out, the court might not know.

The best way is to eliminate all the rebellious chieftains.

"What if the officials force the people to rebel?" Yan Chengjin knew that Fu Nanshe's rebellion was not to become a local emperor.

It was that the officials in Hainan were like a juicer, squeezing skills at full firepower, and the Li people in Hainan could not survive.

Emperor Hongzhi said solemnly: "This is just the guess of Yan Qing's family. I believe that the officials in Hainan are still honest."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you will be beaten into a fat man..." Yan Chengjin said nothing more.

Emperor Hongzhi ordered Xiao Jing to draft an imperial edict and send it to Guangdong immediately to send troops to quell the rebellion in Hainan.

Back at the mansion,

Yan Chengjin ordered people to take out the iced watermelon. It was a bit hot, so he had to eat some watermelon to cool down.

Fitness expert Li Zhaoxian visited the mansion and often ate his watermelon.

"Sir, what is the student's next training plan?"

After sticking to the training plan for a few months, coupled with Wang Ji's diet therapy, Li Zhaoxian is now a completely different person.

He is a little taller, and his gestures are very powerful.

He even looks a little...

strong.

"Let's run a half marathon."

Li Zhaoxian was a little confused: "What is a half marathon?"

Yan Chengjin drew the streets of the capital, then planned the route, wrote down the number of laps, and handed the map to Li Zhaoxian.

"How is Qing'e these days?"

Li Zhaoxian smiled and said, "Your Excellency may as well go to the mansion to see me. My mother also likes you, but my father..."

"How is your father's hemorrhoid disease? Can it be cured?" Yan Chengjin wanted to make a breakthrough from Li Dongyang's illness.

Li Zhaoxian said ashamedly, "My father concealed it very well. No matter how I asked, my father did not answer. I think he was ashamed to speak up. By the way, how did Your Excellency know such a secret..."

The history books said it, plus the various speculations of this official, and you will know it.

Yan Chengjin sighed, "The autumn examination is approaching, prepare well for the autumn examination."

"I will definitely win the title of Jieyuan in Shuntian Prefecture!"

Sorry, the title of Jieyuan in Shuntian Prefecture is not you, but Xie Pi...

As for you, you were suspended from the exam in the history books.

Yan Chengjin looked thoughtful.

If the question was revealed to the future brother-in-law, it would be possible to defeat Xie Pi and win the title of Jieyuan...

But if I do so, will Li Dongyang suspect me?

When Li Dongyang found out that he had guessed the test questions, he might even turn out his old test papers.

For the sake of prudence, Yan Chengjin decided not to tell him.

…

Wang Mansion,

At dinner, Wang Hua picked up a piece of braised pork, looked at his father, pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Dad, I heard from the servants that you went to Yan Mansion today?"

Wang Tianxu glared at him, and Wang Hua was so scared that he lowered his head and the meat on his chopsticks fell off.

"You still don't allow me to go to Yan Mansion?"

"No, I'm just curious and want to ask. You don't know Yan Chengjin, what are you doing there?" Wang Hua mustered up the courage to say.

Wang Tianxu didn't dare to say it, and lowered his head to eat. The jade scroll imperial edict was signed by the prince, how could he not know what was going on?

"Dad? If you are free these two days, go to Lingjue Temple to burn incense?" Wang Hua said sadly: "My eyelids have been twitching a lot these two days."

Hearing that 100,000 Li people in Hainan rioted, he didn't dare to tell the old man.

I couldn't sleep at night, waiting for the imperial court's report day after day.

I could only bear it.
