In October of the first year of Chongde, the five branches of Jinuu in northern Xinjiang rioted and assembled the grassland Tatar remnants. Their soldiers were directed at the important areas of Beijing. The army went to aid; in November of the same year, the fifth son of Renzong, King Jing of Anhui fought a rebellion, led the mansion and the soldiers of the rebellious guard 100,000, and went north'anyway.'

"One hundred thousand?" Lee was shocked.

Ming Lan turned her head and said: "Don't panic, auntie, it must be counted as the servants, seven aunts and eight aunts. It would be good to have fifty thousand." Cao Cao's true water of one million masters is only two Three hundred thousand.

Changwu stood up from his seat, nodded and said: "That's right. I've inquired carefully, but actually there are only 30,000 horses."

"...I remember that Emperor Taizong Wu put down the'Nine Kings Rebellion' and he issued a strict decree. Starting from the prince of the prince, I have no more than 300 soldiers, no land, no subjects, no official power, The local capital department should inspect the behavior of the vassal princes in accordance with the system and report the situation to Gyeonggi regularly. Why did King Jing mobilize 30,000 soldiers in a short time?" Minglan walked to Changwu and asked.

Changwu smiled bitterly, and replied: "My sister doesn't know, although King Jing provoked the first emperor to dislike him, he was relieved from the field early, but the first emperor was benevolent, and King Jing’s birth mother, Jia Guifei, died young, and the first emperor could not bear his son outside. Suffering, I became more tolerant of King Jing’s many unscrupulous behaviors outside. In these years, I have often heard from the camp guard that King Jing is in power in western Anhui. Not only did the local officials dare not speak, they also helped."

Minglan raised her eyebrows and asked: "The second brother Wu knows how King Jing behaves in the domain?" Changwu was dumbfounded: "What... mean?" Minglan quickly resolved the question: "Tell him first. How to act as a soldier?"

Changwu thought for a while, and replied: "The birth mother of King Jing was originally the daughter of the grand general of Fengguo in the time of the first emperor. After King Jing established the mansion, the general sent many capable officials and generals over. Several guards are quite capable; but King Jing seems to value his brother-in-laws more, and often brings his concubine’s brothers to Beijing to ask for weapons and silver."

Ming Lan asked again: "Then how does he treat the people in Anhui?"

Changwu shook his head and said: "King Jing wants to raise these many rebel soldiers. It depends on how the king’s salary is enough. It is not enough if the first emperor is generous and generous. The rest can only be provided by the people. …Many large families in Anhui sent their daughters to King Jing’s Mansion as concubines. In this way, the local tycoons and King Jing are tied together."

Minglan bends the corners of her mouth in a noncommittal way, and then asks: "How thick is Wang Jing's behavior?" Changwu was bewildered by the questions one after another. She only felt that this little sister was gentle but she said The sentence asks the point.

The old lady Sheng, who was sitting at the top, frowned unhappy, and chuckled softly: "Ming girl! How do you speak? One sentence, is this a girl from yours?" Ming Lan didn't reply, only Honestly bowed his head and stood.

The Sheng family members here all listened and pointed, Li and Wen were stunned, Chang Song opened their mouths, Sheng Wei listened attentively, and quickly waved his hands, saying: "Auntie don’t need to blame my niece, she’s good, we There is a mass of paste here; I understand a little bit about the questions and answers between my niece and Wu'er. In other words, King Jing is nepotism and exploits the people, and may not be united with the soldiers, so that King Jing’s rebellion may not succeed. Minglan, just ask if you have anything." This was addressed to Mrs. Sheng.

Pin Lan also vigorously said: "Yes, yes."

The old lady Sheng looked inside the house once, and it was Sheng Wei's own family. Then she nodded to Ming Lan. Ming Lan wanted to know more, so she took a step forward and asked Changwu again: " When the second elder brother left Beijing, what was the situation of the commander and the 50% soldiers and horses? Are the soldiers full? Are the equipment standing? Can each commander be transferred?"

This Changwu knows best, and immediately replied: "In the past year since the emperor became the throne, only two or three commanders have been transferred at the first level. However, Tongzhi has changed a lot of the generals at the unified level, and has promoted many poor people. My son, I’m one of them. After taking office, we have received many rectification instructions one after another, not to eat empty money, not to slack in performance or anything."

Sheng Wei's expression relaxed, and he glanced at Li with some relief.

Ming Lan asked again: "What about the rebellion in Northern Xinjiang? How many people were there in the capital?" Changwu made an estimate, and said: "When we arrived in Ludi, I heard that the Five Armies Dufu Mansion Approximately two-thirds of the officers were assigned."

Minglan pondered for a moment, and finally asked: "How about Yuzhong and Susie...?"

Changwu knew what Minglan meant, and he sighed deeply: "Over the past ten years, King Jing has returned to Beijing several times a year, along the way... alas, the guards and clan kings of those places have been with him Good."

Minglan couldn't help smiling: "The second brother Wu still wants to return to Beijing to play?"

Changwu beat the case table beside him, and said regretfully: "Then what to do?"

The civil servants rely on lip service and desk work to improve their qualifications, but the best way for their military attache to be promoted is to fight. The last'Shenchen Rebellion' allowed many low-level officers like Changwu who were not from noble children to take up the position. .

Ming Lan looked at Changwu with an annoyed look, and secretly made up for him what he wanted to say: King Jing is too wretched. If you want to rebel, you should also give a message in advance. If he knew that there was a chance to make merit, he Won't be back; but now...

Lee was busy stroking Changwu’s shoulders, lovingly persuading him: "Wu'er, there is a chance to get promoted in battle, now there’s a mess outside. Don’t go out, your wife is still pregnant. As for your body, you can't have a good or bad."

Although Sheng Wei also hopes that his son will be appointed as an official, he really loves his son and said: "Your mother said that people are the most important thing. Besides...no one knows..." Pin Lan quickly continued: "No one knows which side will win!"

Sheng Wei slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Shut up the dead girl! What nonsense! Maybe it's inappropriate for you to be here!"

Pin Lan retracted her neck and stopped speaking.

Changwu's stomach was full of bitter water, and he vaguely said: "My father and mother don't know anything. Our military attache talks about seeking wealth and wealth. How can soldiers not take risks if they are desperate! Although peaceful chaos is dangerous, it can be compared to that of Xiliang in northern Xinjiang. In the bitter cold land, this battle is now the cheapest."

Sheng Wei couldn’t help hesitating. Most of those who were able to get promoted in the army in the Taiping years were the sons of the princes of power. Like the Sheng family, they had no foundation in the army. This is indeed a great opportunity, and military officers are not the same as civilian officials. At the age of seventy and eighty, you can be dazzled, but the military officer eats body food. If you have not been able to mix up with a dutong by the age of sixty, then...

Since learning about King Jing’s rebellion a few days ago, Changwu immediately went to Jinling to find out the news. He knew that the hinterland of the Central Plains was already in turmoil. Changwu was impatient and wanted to return to Beijing to serve. Sheng Wei and Li’s scared souls scattered, Chang Song and Wen Shi also tried to persuade him, and asked Mrs. Sheng to suppress the battle. Of course, Pin Lan Minglan and Xiao Changdong also sneaked in troubled waters.

The atmosphere in Sheng Wei's home is warmer and more harmonious, and the rules are not as strict as those of officials and officials. The children have nothing to say in front of their parents; there is no such thing as a hindrance in Lan, no Mo Lan's jokes, and no Wang's suspicion. , Minglan even dared to speak to the Sheng Wei couple.

Li is still trying to persuade Changwu to go; Changwu is entangled by his mother, and helplessly said: "Mother, you don't know! The capital is prosperous, whoever can be an official and a half in the garrison of the heavy ground in Beijing Those who hold positions are all the sons of Quanjue; I still relied on my uncle to walk around to get the job. Later in the "Shenchen Rebellion", I was lucky enough to make a little credit to be promoted to the general manager and to the local health station. Become a commander. Mother, do you know that if you are really struggling at the border, can it be done in ten or eight years?"

Li stuttered, looked at the family members present in embarrassment, and finally shouted at Sheng Wei: "His father, you are talking!"

Sheng Wei didn’t want to talk, but didn’t know what to say. His eyes swept across the faces of his family. Li, Changsong, Wen, Pinlan...their expressions may be confused or confused. In embarrassment, Sheng Wei's eyes turned, and Mrs. Sheng sat at the top, Minglan and Xiao Changdong beside him.

Sheng Wei Chao Grand Lady Sheng arched her hand and said respectfully: "Auntie knows well and eats more salt than we eat. My nephew asks my aunt for advice." The old lady Sheng looked at Changwu and hesitated in her heart. Then, waved his hand, and slowly said: "I am a woman, how do you know about the military affairs; if your brother and Bai Geer are there, you might be able to name a ugly man."
