Chapter 393: Million-Man Army

"A bunch of rubbish! Where did Jianning's million-strong army come from? Such a big thing, no one received the news in advance?"

Emperor Ming Cheng cursed loudly.

He cursed the people inside.

Xia Wei, who was parked outside, was shocked and his face changed drastically.

Qin Chi also pretended to be surprised, but he was actually very calm.

Did they just receive the news of the Jianning uprising? Qin Chi knew that according to Yan Jiangnan's shrewdness, there would definitely be a punitive declaration, it was just a matter of time, and by then, Emperor Mingcheng would probably be even angrier.

The eunuch went in to report.

Xia Wei, Qin Chi and others were allowed to enter.

There were already three cabinet ministers and a number of other ministers in the hall, as well as some military generals from the court. Duke Ningguo was also here.

Now that we are facing internal and external troubles, they cannot afford to be lazy.

Among the many ministers present, Qin Chi had relatively little experience. When everyone was discussing, he rarely spoke unless necessary. He was just an extra presence at the scene.

And this matter cannot be decided in a short time.

The time to go off duty on that day.

Song Jin waited for a long time at home, but Qin Chi did not come home. When he sent someone to the yamen to inquire, he learned that Qin Chi had been summoned by Emperor Mingcheng and had not left the palace yet.

"Madam, the Liu family of Jianning has started an uprising, claiming to have an army of one million righteous men. The news has reached the capital, and His Majesty should have known about it, so he summoned many ministers to discuss the matter together." Qin Qi informed Song Jin of the situation.

Song Jin stood up suddenly, "Is there a riot?"

"Yes." Qin Qi affirmed.

"This is not a good thing..."

Song Jin thought that his family members had not been found yet, and the current situation was different from his previous life. In his previous life, Jianning Liu did not start a rebellion, and before her death, there was no news of anyone rebelling in the country. But it was true that the emperor was replaced.

The memories of my past life are now in disarray and cannot be relied upon.

Song Jin didn't know at this time that it was because of her accident that Qin Chi's family and his maternal family were not wiped out, which caused the situation in the world to change.

Especially since Prince Rui is not dead.

It directly affected the structure of the Great Xia Dynasty.

After the death of Prince Rui in the previous life, the northwest was almost lost, and General Ling died in the battle. It wasn't long before the northwest was controlled by the forces of the former crown prince, and the capital was also controlled.

The three giants who hold real power in the court.

The chief minister of the cabinet, the commander of the imperial guards and the governor of the imperial court. The cabinet had Yang Ge Lao and the imperial court had Governor Feng. The commander of the imperial guards, who was the only one who was not under control, was dismissed after Emperor Ming Cheng took several "rejuvenation" pills and suddenly died. He was replaced by the former crown prince.

The entire Great Xia court was taken over by the former crown prince's forces without bloodshed.

In the end, Emperor Mingcheng's bloodline died out.

The one who directly ascended to the throne was the son of the former crown prince Helian Kai, that is, Liu Ji, who was raised in the Liu family. The Liu family members followed suit and were promoted to high positions, and there was no need for them to rebel.

The troops of Jianning were transferred to the northwest to guard the city, completely replacing the manpower of Prince Rui, and the power of the world was concentrated in the hands of the emperor. It can be said that the power of the new emperor was greater than that of Emperor Cheng of Ming.

The moment Yan Jiangnan appeared, he became famous and entered the cabinet as the Prime Minister in the shortest time in history. He then issued a series of reform measures that benefited the people's livelihood. It was inevitable that he would become a minister who would be remembered for thousands of years. His lifelong ambition was finally realized.

However, these things cannot be known in this lifetime.

Song Jin was also caught off guard. He was thinking about the manpower he had placed in Jianning and Fuzhou, and he didn't know whether they were safe. You know, Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaocheng were there.

"Mu Ting."

Song Jin yelled.

Mu Ting, who was parked outside, came in.

Song Jin ordered, "Please ask Xing Lun to come over tomorrow when he is free, and tell him that I have something important to discuss with you."

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

Mu Ting turned and went out.

Xing Lun is currently in the capital discussing business with someone and has not left the capital yet. The fleet is still parked at the canal wharf, and Xing Lun is currently in Zhangjiawan.

"Mom, play with Niuniu."

Niu Niu was holding a nine-ring chain in her hand. She walked in with her short legs and held the nine-ring chain in front of Song Jin.

Song Jin picked up Niu Niu, sat her on his lap, and then began to patiently teach Niu Niu how to play the Nine Rings game.

The little girl was very happy and giggled happily. She imitated Song Jin's movements and was able to untie it by herself soon.

Song Jin praised in surprise: "My daughter is really smart. She can learn it right away."

The little girl was a little proud.

Then he just started playing by himself.

Song Jin originally thought that Xing Lun would come tomorrow, but he came back that night unexpectedly, and he came back with Old Li, who was injured.

Old Li left a few days ago for some business.

Currently, the one driving Qin Chi’s carriage is Qin Ba.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Song Jingang coaxed Niu Niu to sleep.

After receiving the report, people went to visit.

In Old Li's room, Doctor Jing was bandaging Old Li's wound. Old Li had taken the medicine and was feeling dizzy.

Doctor Jing asked everyone not to disturb him and let him rest first.

"Boss."

Xing Lun greeted Song Jin.

Song Jin called the person out and asked about the situation.

Xing Lun talked about what happened in Zhangjiawan, "I received a message from Mu Ting, so I decided to come here early. On the way, I ran into someone chasing and killing the injured Uncle Li."

There is no need to say the following.

When he encountered an injured person, who was also on his side, Xing Lun naturally helped and rescued the person.

Xing Lun looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Boss, it seems that Uncle Li was investigating something and was stabbed in the back by his own people."

"I have no control over this matter."

Song Jin raised his eyes to look at Xing Lun and said solemnly, "Someone will be responsible later, just pretend you didn't know anything."

"Yes, I understand." Xing Lun nodded.

Qin Chi did not participate in Song Jin's forces.

Song Jin knew very little about the power of Qin Chi. As Song Jin said, Old Man Li's affairs were taken over by Old Man Hong.

Song Jin and Xing Lun went to the living room.

The servant brought tea.

Mu Ting stood guard at the door and didn't let anyone get close.

Song Jin told Xing Lun about the rebellion of the Liu family in Jianning.

"An army of one million?" Xing Lun was shocked.

How long did it take to prepare in secret to have so many soldiers? Song Jin thought, of course, it took at least ten or twenty years to prepare. "This number may not be true, it is possible to be exaggerated, but I think the number of soldiers must be hundreds of thousands. Without hundreds of thousands, it is embarrassing to say that it is a million-man army."

Xing Lun had the same idea.

Song Jin added: "What I am worried about now is the Song family branch in Jianning. If the Liu family recruits soldiers, the Song family branch will inevitably be involved. Song Xiaodong is in Jianning and is in charge of the affairs there."

"He should be able to handle it. The owner should trust him."

Xing Lun knew that Song Xiaodong had grown rapidly in recent years and was now able to stand on his own.

At this time, Xing Lun thought of another question, "Should we withdraw those who are left in Fuzhou? If the Jianning uprising breaks out, the first place to be attacked will most likely be Fuzhou. Otherwise, when the imperial court sends troops to quell the rebellion, the Jianning rebels will be attacked from both sides."
