Chapter 203

The team from the Wangfu will reach Changsha County in five days. After passing Changsha County, the land road will come to an end, and they can take a boat to Jiankang, which takes half the time compared to land road.

It's just that some things that are planned are often unexpected.

Before Xia Jing arrived in Changsha County, she received an urgent message from Jiankang for eight hundred miles.

The rebels fled from Jiankang to the north, during which they kidnapped many officials and clans, including Prince Ning.

When Prince Ning was moving south, he was accidentally injured by bandits on the way. When he arrived in Jiankang, he was recuperating in the mansion. After he recovered from his injury, he seldom appeared in public, living a very low-key life.

Being kidnapped by the rebels this time was something no one expected.

Compared with the clan whose head was beheaded by the rebels, it is very lucky to be kidnapped and taken away like him, at least they did not die because of the destruction of Jiankang City.

"Mother and concubine, what did the king say in the letter?"

Xia Jing handed the letter to him, "Look for yourself, it's an eventful time, no one can predict what will happen tomorrow, your father may still be secretly happy that a throne fell from the sky and fell on him, but he doesn't think how long it will be, The North gave him a bolt from the blue, I don't know if he will vomit blood from anger!"

Li Chengmu opened the letter and said: "No matter what happens, I believe that the father can withstand the blow, he will not vomit blood, mother and concubine don't have to worry about the father."

The corners of Xia Jing's mouth twitched slightly, when was she worried about him?Obviously a little gloating, didn't this silly son hear it?

"Prince Ning is so bold that he dared to take advantage of the power of the rebel army to proclaim himself emperor in the north. Doesn't he know that the rebel army is just using him?" Li Chengmu wanted to vomit blood after reading this letter. king.

"The rebel army used him to achieve the purpose of coercing the emperor and ordering the princes, and Prince Ning didn't want to use the rebel army to achieve his desire to become emperor."

As she said that, Xia Jing sneered: "It's just raccoons of the same feather. Who of them ever thought about the people of the world, instigating a civil war, and destroying the world's lives? It's not what they, who are dominated by power desires, should think about."

After reading the letter, Li Chengmu slapped his palm on the table angrily, "Since he has shamelessly named the country "Ming" and the reign name "Jianyuan", does he have the ambition to unify the world and become the founding emperor? "

Seeing his slapped red hand, Xia Jing felt that her hand was also hurting, and reminded him, "Don't worry about smashing my table!"

Isn't it stupid to abuse one's own hand like this for the sake of others?

Li Chengmu shook his hands, looked up at Xia Jing: "The traitor has already spread the news, I believe everyone in the world knows what they should know, what should we do?"

The Ming Dynasty announced to the world that Dayu's country was half lost, and the north and south will be separated from now on.

"Prince Ning may be unwilling. The rebels took advantage of this and proclaimed themselves emperor. He is the brother of Emperor Huiyuan and the uncle of Emperor Mingxi, and your father is the uncle of Emperor Huiyuan and the uncle of Emperor Mingxi." Grandfather, which one do you think is closer?"

Xia Jing sneered, "It's a pity that Emperor Mingxi didn't think of letting him inherit the throne at the last moment, but issued an edict to let your father inherit. Based on this, your father is a legitimate emperor, son what are you worried about?"

"I" Li Chengmu was dumb, took a deep breath and said, "I know what it means for Prince Ning to be emperor in the north, but the rebels occupy Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, which means that they can directly take Jizhou and Youzhou if they go north. , going south can threaten Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and there is also Beidi in the Gyeonggi area that has been standing still."

The current situation can be imagined how difficult Dayu is, Li Chengmu also realized at this moment, how bad the situation is now that his father took over this mess!
If you are not careful, your family will be ruined and your family will be destroyed, and you will follow in the footsteps of Emperor Ming Xi.

"You have done a good job of calmly analyzing the overall situation." Xia Jing glanced at the green mountains outside the window, then turned around and said, "Since you already know the current situation, you should not panic in your heart, but think about it calmly. Thinking, how should we break this situation, things have to be solved one by one, panic will not solve any problems.”

"Is there a way for the concubine to break this predicament?"

"Didn't you just say that there are Beidi and the rebels who are threatening us now, then we will deal with them in the same way!"

Li Chengmu frowned: "The most important thing at the moment is Beidi and the rebels, but don't forget that the Central Plains is not Lingnan, and there are still many bandits everywhere in the Central Plains."

Speaking of this, Li Chengmu sighed helplessly. He didn't know if he didn't analyze it. This analysis found that the current Dayu was riddled with holes and leaks everywhere. He really didn't know where to start to mend the leaks.

Xia Jing looked at her son scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, and shook her head: "Didn't I just say that the difficulties are solved one by one. If you just think about it and don't do it, you will never see the end. I feel that the mountain of difficulty is difficult to climb, but Settle your mind to solve the difficulties, and you will find that the later you do it, the easier it will be.”

At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from outside the carriage, and the horse stopped after a while.

"Mother concubine!"

Xia Jing raised the curtains, it was her stepson, the urgent courier from eight hundred miles rushed into the line just now, everyone saw it, presumably everyone wanted to know the content of the news.

"It's the second child, the third child, and the fourth child. It's getting late. Go and tell Feng Tu to let him find a place to rest in front."

The stepsons knew that they had to wait for the team to stop before Xia Jing would tell them about Jiankang's arrival.

Seeing Xia Jing's calm expression at this moment, no matter how curious she was, she could only hold back and wait until the camp was set up.

In fact, at this point now, Li Chengli, Li Chengzhan and Li Chengyi are all regretting, regretting why they didn't go to Jiankangqin with King Qian in the first place.

If they had gone with them back then, they would have given their share of the credit, and maybe they could have left a good impression in front of King Qian.

None of them thought that King Qian was just going to be a king, and he could still get the succession edict.

After settling down, several stepson gathered in Xia Jing's Wang Tent.

Xia Jing was not pretentious either, and directly circulated the letter to them.

Li Chengmu did not forget to analyze the current situation with them, and let them all realize how serious the current situation is. Don't think about intrigue and power struggle when you arrive in Jiankang. demise.

With the situation in front of him, the timid ones are very uneasy. For example, the second child, Li Chengzhan, is a man with a heart and no courage.

Li Chengli was very irritable. In Jiankang's letter, he thought about all kinds of possibilities, but he never thought that it was Prince Ning who proclaimed himself emperor with the support of the rebels.

The current situation is not as good as when they first arrived in Lingnan. Although they were struggling at that time, at least they could break the situation. Even if they couldn't break the situation, it would not threaten their lives.

And the current situation in the world, if it is not done well, it will be the rhythm of genocide.

Li Chengyi was the first to speak: "There are still two state capitals in the north. We can let Jizhou and Youzhou attack the rebels, and attack from both sides. Let's see if the rebels are Gu Qian or Gu Wei?"

Xia Jing shook her head slowly, and asked with a smile: "According to what you said, the prerequisite is that the troops of Jizhou and Youzhou are willing to listen to the imperial court's orders. If they resist and refuse to obey, there is nothing you can do to them."

"If they don't obey the will, they are rebellious!"

"They can make excuses. The two courts in the south and the north are both surnamed Li. Who should he listen to?"

Xia Jing glanced at him, and sighed inwardly, when the rebels supported Prince Ning's ascension to the throne, it meant that the princes of the world would soon be vying for the throne in the Central Plains.

Traveling to this ancient times, without giving her a stable environment, it is really too difficult to lie down and retire.

The brothers looked at each other, they didn't know what to do next?
-
Jin Zupei, the governor of Changsha County, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

The tea was % full, he put down the teapot, looked at the person who came, "You said Princess Qian is already thirty miles away?"

"Yes, my lord." The subordinate nodded.

Jin Zupei turned his head to look at the governor and staff sitting at the bottom, "You said that the princess wants to go to Jiankang by boat, and go directly from Guanqiao Town to the riverside ferry. Why do you want to go to Changsha County?"

"Food and grass are the most important thing for the army to march. Maybe they diverted to Changsha County to raise food and grass?"

"It's possible!"

"Our Changsha County is in short supply of food and grass. She has a team of people and needs a lot of food and grass. Nowadays, food and grass are scarce resources in this age, and Changsha has not reached the point of inexhaustibility."

Jin Zupei put down the teacup and shook his head again and again: "Don't forget, Jiankang is already the lord of the world, if we offend the princess this time, will he make a note of it?"

"This..." Jun Cheng looked at the crowd and said helplessly: "Are we just letting her get what she wants? You must know that our county also has garrisons to support."

"Let's take a step and take a look. Everyone, follow me to the gate of the city to meet you first." Jin Zupei stood up, and on the surface he didn't dare to neglect.

When Xia Jing's team arrived at the gate of Changsha City, they were warmly welcomed by the people of Changsha.

The officials of the county guard's yamen are even more welcome.

"Mother and Concubine, the people in Changsha County have a sense of ritual!"

Xia Jing looked out of the car window at the people on both sides of the road, "It should be that Changsha County Sheriff hired them to perform as a group."

"What is a group performance?" Li Chengmu asked.

Xia Jing smiled lightly: "It's the extras who performed this show for us."

"Ah" Li Chengmu scratched his head: "Can it still be like this?"

"Do you think the people sincerely welcome you?" Xia Jing knocked him on the head. "It's pretty good. To the people of Changsha County, we are completely strangers. Why do they want to welcome us?"

Soldiers and horses were stationed outside the city, and the county guard wanted to welcome Xia Jing and other palace masters into the city, but Xia Jing refused.

The current situation is unclear, it is better for them not to leave the team.

Jin Zupei really didn't dare to ignore the fact that the princess didn't go to the city, and asked the butler to bring over a few tables of wine and food in the evening.

Due to the large number of troops stationed outside the city, the people of Changsha County pay special attention to the outside of the city.

In the middle of the morning of the next day, the people found a notice posted at the gate of the city.

"conscription!"

"Why are you recruiting again all of a sudden?"

"What is written on it? Why is it suddenly recruited again?"

The soldiers standing next to the announcement were brought by Xia Jing from Lingnan, and they patiently explained the terms and conditions to the people.

"Now there are such good conditions for conscription. You can get five taels of silver for signing up. After enlisting in the army, there will be two taels of military pay every month. If you die in battle, you will have 30 taels of head compensation. Is it true?"

"Can you believe this? Don't wait until you sign up and enter the military camp, but the money is not distributed on time!"

The people's distrust of the government is also reflected in this conscription.

Throughout the morning, there were a lot of people watching the excitement at the gate of the city, and there were a lot of heated discussions, but no one was willing to register with their real names.

After Xia Jing learned of the situation, in the afternoon, she sent someone to transport a few boxes of silver ingots, and the officers and soldiers piled the silver ingots directly on the table, and promoted the products in kind, and the effect was immediately obvious.

The common people were obviously stimulated by that ingot of silver ingot.

Five taels and one ingot, as long as you register, you can get one ingot immediately.

The effect of physical promotion is very good, and many people who are living in difficulties have come forward to ask.

There are also young and middle-aged people who have a lot of labor at home and sign up directly, and sign up with their household registration. As long as the conditions are met, they can receive a five taels of silver ingot after registration.

Some people who are slightly older than the age limit want to register, sorry that they don't accept it.

When the news spread to the Sheriff's Mansion, Jin Zupei became anxious.

Which dynasty the population is in is all concerned by the court. Xia Jing's conscription in Changsha County is tantamount to taking away the young and middle-aged people in Changsha County.

In the farming era, the loss of young and middle-aged people can directly lead to the regression of farming. How could Jin Zupei not be in a hurry with such a serious consequence?
The aides were recruited overnight to discuss countermeasures, and the next day they drove to the military camp outside the city in a carriage.

"Princess, you can no longer recruit troops here. In the past few years, there have been many disasters, natural and man-made disasters, and the population is not rich. Finally, some refugees were accepted last year to fill the vacancies. You came to recruit again. Young and middle-aged Take it away, how will our Changsha County develop?"

After hearing what he said, Xia Jing was not angry, but just smiled: "Master Jin, do you know how much I am in Lingnan?"

The smile on Jin Zupei's face froze, and he asked anxiously, "How much is one?"

Xia Jing held up three fingers: "Three Dings draw one, and in your Changsha County, I actually want to implement five Dings drawing one, but because of time constraints, I have to temporarily recruit soldiers, but for the sustainable development of Changsha County, we have always been Five dings draw one, and six dings draw one, so logically speaking, the impact on Changsha County is not great."

Jin Zupei was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead: "But, Princess, we will also conscript after the autumn harvest."

Xia Jing's eyes froze: "Are you recruiting? Could it be that the garrison quota in the county is not enough, or is it that the county guard is planning to increase the number of troops without permission?"

"Ah?" Jin Zupei wiped the sweat from his forehead, and when he came back to his senses, he knew what he had said, and quickly waved his hands: "No, my princess, you misunderstood, the last time we reinforced Jiankang, the Governor-in-Chief dispatched some troops from the garrisons of our counties. Therefore, after the autumn harvest this year, we must replenish our troops."

Xia Jing suddenly realized and nodded: "So that's the case, so I would like to ask, did the troops transferred by Governor Yuan go to Jiankang?"

Jin Zupei breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I went to Jiankang with the prince, and stayed in Jiankang for a few months and never came back."
