Chapter 628 Great Change
Outside Wanshou Hall, Huang Jin looked at the four plates held by the little eunuchs curiously, "Is this?"
Some of the plates are dark, some are vermilion red, and some are cut open, and the yellow and orange emits an attractive fragrance.
Xu Wei grabbed a skillful skin and put it in his mouth quickly, and praised: "Zhan Cai wrote a letter saying that the yield per mu of twenty stones is 20 stones, and this good thing is 20 stones per mu... I really don't believe it!"
Huang Jin glanced at the leading eunuch of the dietary supervisor, who bent over and whispered respectfully: "I've tried it all."
Huang Jin shook his head, "Don't present such a novelty to His Majesty's case."
That's it, but the fragrance is really tempting. Huang Jin carefully identified it. The fragrance should be from the one that came from the black one. He hesitated to pick it up, carefully peeled it off, and tried to bite it. His eyes lit up. It was so delicious!
"Zhancao was too stingy and sent a hundred kilograms to Beijing." Xu Wei said while eating: "Mr. Li'an sent twenty kilograms, and the rest are here."
Hearing this, the eunuch who was on the side of the diet steward was anxious, "Xu Hanlin, only forty kilograms were sent!"
Xu Wei smiled dryly and said to Huang Jin: "Last night, the guys stole a few pounds of pounds by themselves... Ah, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Emperor Jiajing, who was taking a nap in the hall, walked out at some point, "Is this the sweet potato I mentioned in yesterday's long text?"
"Yes." Huang Jin smiled and said, "It's not delicious."
Xu Wei always licked the dog in front of Emperor Jiajing, but he didn't lick Huang Jin at all times, and said, "What I said is, in just a moment, Eunuch Huang has eaten three pieces."
Emperor Jiajing laughed and scolded: "Everyone often goes to Qian's restaurant to order vegetables, aren't you relieved?"
Huang Jin glared at Xu Wei and carefully peeled it. When he got into his mouth, Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up. He liked sweets, but because his older teeth were not good, he ate more soft foods, so roasted sweet potatoes were obviously favored.
Xu Wei introduced one by one on the side, "Sweet potatoes can be eaten raw and cooked, roasted, boiled, steamed, and simmered. They can be filled or made of vegetables. But I don't know whether the yield per mu of twenty stones is true or false."
Emperor Jiajing tasted a few bites of each kind? He smiled and said, "If it is less than twenty stones? I will make up for Zhan Cai's 180 kilograms!"
The king and his minister were chatting, and Yan Song came over there? How many dollars did Emperor Jiajing give generously? The old man also praised him. Compared with Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song, who was almost 80 years old, was more used to sweet potatoes that basically didn't use teeth.
"It's your Majesty who knows talents with a keen eye." Yan Song smiled and said, "When Chongde won a great victory, your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Personnel to record his merits? The old minister thought he could only use it after several years of hard work? Unexpectedly, he made consecutive contributions and turned the tide in the first place, and made every effort to solve the embarrassment of insufficient expenditure in the court."
"Have you made achievements in both civil and military affairs? Can you do things in a solid manner? Don't avoid worldly ridicule, what the old minister has seen in his life..." Speaking of this, Yan Song paused and smiled bitterly: "The old minister has never seen in his life."
Emperor Jiajing laughed and said, "Only because of the reputation of the city, the only way to achieve some luck is to show off."
Obviously? Emperor Jiajing could no longer be satisfied with the emperor's disciple he selected... Everyone said that the Jinshi was the emperor's disciple? But Qian Yuan, the only one in the court, called himself a "student".
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Jiajing always has a special feeling for him... Are modern people? He is even a businessman who started from scratch and wants to find opportunities in the vast business world? Then there must be something that makes people shine? Or appearance? Or title, or preference.
Of course, because of this, Qingliu in the court had a complicated feeling about Qian Yuan. Some admired Qian Yuan for leaving his future and heading south to fight against the Japanese, while others despised Qian Yuan fortunately became his favor.
When Emperor Jiajing talked with the cabinet chief, Xu Wei naturally couldn't get into the mouth, but he muttered in his heart that according to Yan Song's statement, Qian Yuan was quite like the combination of Yan Song and Xia Yan.
Not only did Xia Yan's words be sharp and dared to be the first in the world, but also Xia Yan's ability to deal with things, and Yan Song's cunning and resourcefulness, he was willing to be charmed.
Although the north is really annoying, there is continuous good news in the south. Emperor Jiajing was in a good mood today and was in the garden with Yan Song, Xu Wei and Huang Jin.
In late February, Qi Jiguang led his army south to Fujian, stationed in Fuzhou Prefecture, the coastal areas with the most severe Japanese disease. He attacked everywhere and defeated the Japanese pirates one after another. The Qi family army was already famous all over the world.
Just at the end of June, Qi Jiguang fought against the main force of 4,000 Japanese pirates in Funing Prefecture. Ye Zongman attracted hundreds of real Japanese pirates, with extraordinary combat power and defeated the three towns of Funing Prefecture in a row.
After an hour of hard battle, in front of the Mandarin duck formation, bird guns and tiger squatting cannons, the Japanese pirates were finally defeated and dispersed. Qi Jiguang led his army to beat drums and pursued them, beheading more than a thousand.
But Emperor Jiajing's good mood soon disappeared without a trace, replaced by endless anger and irritability.
The second assistant to the cabinet, Xu Jie, the second assistant to the group assistant to Lu Ben, and the left assistant to the Ministry of War, Jiangdong, met with him, which brought news that Emperor Jiajing was dull.
This is also news that shocks the world.
Since the 37th year of Jiajing, Japanese plagues in Fujian have occurred everywhere, and many bandits have plundered and looted in Fujian under the name of Japanese pirates, operating in western Fujian, southeastern Jiangxi, and northeastern Guangdong.
On July 11, 1937, the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, Zhang Lian, a bandit bandit in Chaozhou, Guangdong, gathered tens of thousands of people to raise troops in northern Guangdong with the "White Fan Club". Taking advantage of the opportunity that Fujian officers and soldiers confronted Japanese pirates on the coast, they headed north to invade Fujian.
In just a few days, the bandit army successively defeated two counties and five towns in Tingzhou Prefecture. Zhang Lian was in Guihua County and the bandit leaders Xiao Wan, Zhang Gongyou and Li Dongjin became an alliance with the leaders of the various robbers. He was appointed as the commander and claimed to have more than 100,000 people under his command.
On July 16, the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, the bandits divided their troops and invaded Yanping Prefecture and Shaowu Prefecture, and many cities lost their thieves.
Fujian General Qi Jiguang was stationed in Fuzhou Prefecture and had no time to be a clone. Fujian Governor Wu Baipeng personally led 3,000 officers and soldiers to Yanping Prefecture. After a battle, thousands of bandit soldiers were defeated, but tens of thousands of reinforcements from the bandit army forced Wu Baipeng to retreat.
On July 20, 1937, the tenth day of the uprising of the army, Zhang Lian led his army to capture Shaowu County, the capital of Shaowu Prefecture.
The next day, Zhang Lian divided his troops into several groups and plundered Jianning Prefecture, Shaowu Prefecture, and Tingzhou Prefecture. Half of Fujian Province was in chaos. Fujian Governor Wu Baipeng confronted the bandit army in Yanping Prefecture for several days, but he was unable to make progress.
On July 22, 37th year of Jiajing, Zhang Lian founded the country in Shaowu County, proclaimed himself "Flying Dragon Emperor", named "Flying Dragon", and was appointed as the official of the Department of Science and Technology, and appointed Xiao Wan and others as kings.
At this time, local officials finally couldn't hide it anymore and could only send military newspapers to Beijing.
Rebellion is common, and any emperor can be encountered. Unlucky Emperor Jiajing's cousin, Emperor Zhengde, was beaten to Shuntian Mansion by Liu Liu and Liu Qi.
Since the early Ming Dynasty, although small-scale and large-scale rebellions have been frequent, in addition to Liu Liu and Liu Qi, there are also Zhengtong, Miao people's rebellions during the Tianshun period, Bailian rebellion led by Tang Sai'er during the Yongle period, and Bailian rebellion by Mazushi of Huzhou last year.
But no rebel dared to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor. This was a naked slap on the left and right slap on Emperor Jiajing's face. It was amazing. Zhu Houzhao didn't even do such a prodigal family, but you, Emperor Jiajing, did it!
To put it bluntly, in terms of the weight in Emperor Jiajing's mind, the Japanese invasion in Fujian is a trivial matter. The only thing that can be compared with the "Flying Dragon Emperor" may be the only "Gengxu Rebellion" in the 29th year of Jiajing.
No wonder Emperor Jiajing was furious and scolded a group of important officials without any expression. But this time, the blame... except Emperor Jiajing, no one else could bear it.
