The storm rises again

Yanping Prefecture, Fujian.

Yanping Prefecture did not suffer drought, but Sanming and Yong'an areas were subjected to violent robbery by turning westwards. The hungry people passed by like locusts passing by, killing large households, small and medium-sized landlords, and even the miscellaneous grains in the homes of poor people were plundered. Not only that, they did not let go of the rice that was grouted in the fields.[.]

When the news spread, without the need for government organizations, every village and village spontaneously organized young and strong men to help officers and soldiers to help defend passes and passes. Lin Zhang, the general of Yanping Prefecture, was also afraid of being demoted to a level five, so he urgently transferred troops from the southeast and northeast counties to strictly guard all passes and prevent bandits from entering Yanping. At the same time, he also ordered people to post notices in various passes and towns that Kangxi recruited hungry people and allowed the transfer of 300,000 hungry people from Fujian to Taiwan.

In a house of a wealthy family in Zanchuanyan Town.

Boss Deng stayed in the room in a bored mood and thought. After receiving the order, he led the team into Fujian and contacted countless large and small rebel troops, but they all disappointed him. They were all named loudly, but in fact they were even worse than bandits. The bandits had their own territory and could also take out a few decent weapons. Those rebel troops had nothing, just a group of refugees.

After searching for a long time, the boss Deng and his party found the Yongde army. The Yongde army seized more than 3,000 weapons in the battle of Xianyou. It was easy to capture and plunder towns and plunder the towns. It has become the strongest and most appealing rebels among the rebels. Countless hungry people are famous for coming to the scene, but Wang Fu and Zhang Zhen are unwilling to take in. One more person and one more mouth. They are constantly streamlining the team to fill their stomachs and being more flexible.

Boss Deng and his group came to join. When Wang Fu and Zhang Zhen saw the dozens of archers, they accepted them without hesitation. They needed skillful archers too much. After joining the gang, Boss Deng quickly stood up in the rebel army and received the attention of Wang Fu and Zhang Zhen.

However, seeing the Yongde army penetrated into the northwest mountainous area day by day, Boss Deng was very upset. Yinzhen did go to Fujian to quell the rebellion, but he was polite. Moreover, he was in Quanzhou, and if he didn't transfer the Yongde army back and fought with Yinzhen, they had no chance to take action.

"Boss, Wang Fu sent someone to ask you to discuss the big thing." Lu Zi knocked on the door and said outside.

"It's all a mess, what's there to discuss?" Boss Deng opened the door and cursed in a slut. After thinking about it, he still walked out with his feet.

There were more than a dozen people in the main hall of a mansion in the town. After Boss Deng entered, Wang Fu nodded to him, saying hello, and then said, "Everyone knows the current situation. Since Emperor Kangxi issued a notice to recruit and immigrate to Taiwan, many brothers were moved. People sneaked away every day. And I heard that the other two large rebels were disbanded and out of the mountain. Today I called everyone to come, just discuss what we should do?"

One person immediately continued, "Isn't everyone rebelling just to survive? Since you're fine when you go back, you can go to Taiwan to settle down, why not?"

"That's right, no one rebelled. Just our group will be surrounded by the imperial army sooner or later, and there will be no way out at that time."

As soon as he heard this, Boss Deng immediately realized that the opportunity had come. He hurriedly said, "Those hungry people may be fine when they go back, but it's hard to say when we go back. Don't forget, we have killed thousands of officers and soldiers."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped talking. The Yongde Army killed at least four or five thousand officers and soldiers. How could it be fine when they go back? Even if Kangxi does not pursue the matter, would those local officers and soldiers give up? But if they do not accept the pleading, what would happen? Continue to wander? Sooner or later, it will be the end of being encircled and suppressed.

Seeing that there was some cold incident, Zhang Zhen coughed lightly and said, "Our Yongde army now has 12,000 people. I discussed with Wang Tou. Those who are willing to go to the dark side of us will be welcome. We want to accept the recruitment and go to Taiwan. We don't force us. Everyone can get along and part, and we don't want to lead everyone to the dead end."

"Zhang Tou, what do you mean? Everyone will die together and live together. From the day of the rebellion, we will live one day."

"In fact, there is no way to survive before the completion." Boss Deng stood up and saw everyone looking over. He said: "We can't move towards the mountains anymore. The mountains are narrow in terrain and there are too many passes, and there is no room for maneuver. Once the officers and soldiers encircle and suppress it, it will be a dead end. Besides, the defenses are tight now. Every time a village or a town is attacked, the losses are huge. I think that if we want to survive, we will turn around and turn the coastal plains."

Back to the coastal plain? Everyone was stunned. Wang Fu said in confusion: "The coastal area cannot raise food at all. We do not have the equipment to attack the city, so we cannot attack the city with good defense. In less than a few days, we will not fight the officers and soldiers, and we will be hungry."

Boss Deng smiled and said, "The officers and soldiers have sent troops to guard all passes, and the troops in each city must be empty. As long as we break through the pass and enter the plain, the court will find ways to comfort us. At that time, we will have the capital to negotiate conditions, and everyone will have a way out."

Zhang Zhen curled his lips and said, "What are you talking about with those dirty officials? Can they believe their words?"

"Who said we were going to talk to the local officials?" Boss Deng immediately said, "I won't say it in the notice. The fourteenth prince Yinzhen is the imperial envoy who recruited the hungry people. Now in Quanzhou, let's talk to him. How can a prince not care about his reputation? Besides, he dares to lie to us, and the hungry people who return will still believe his words? I'm afraid that there will be a riot again soon. He is the imperial envoy who came to recruit us. As long as we can recruit us and immigrate to Taiwan, it is a great contribution. Why should he bear the reputation of killing and surrendering?"

If there is a way out, who is willing to go to the dead end? When everyone heard this, they became active. After pondering for a while, Wang Fu stood up and said, "Boss Deng said it well. If you move around in the mountains, it will be a dead end sooner or later. If you fight back to the plains, we still have a glimmer of hope for life. If everyone has no objection, it will be decided."

Quanzhou Prefecture.

Yinzhen came to Quanzhou, and Yu Zhun, who was the supervisor of Fujian Customs, naturally came to visit.

Yu Zhun was the grandson of Yu Chenglong, a famous honest official in the Kangxi Dynasty. He was appointed as the governor of Jiangsu. He was exiled to Heilongjiang because of the deficit of the vassal treasury. It was just when Yinzhen established the General Administration of Customs, innovated the customs, and replaced the four major customs supervisors. He was pardoned by Kangxi and demoted to Fujian Customs Supervisors. Chen Pengnian, who was dismissed with him, was also named by Yinzhen to serve as the General Administration of Customs Supervisors in Jiang Customs.

Yu Zhun was naturally deeply grateful to Yinzhen. He heard that Yinzhen needed a large amount of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes to be used as seeds in Quanzhou to provide relief to the victims. He ordered people to go to Taiwan to purchase and deliver them with the ship.

Yinzhen was so excited when he saw the potato with his own eyes. The nutritional value of this thing is much higher than that of sweet potatoes, and the yield is not much worse than that of sweet potatoes. It is really something that must be promoted vigorously. He glanced at Yu Zhun, who was slightly thin, and asked with a smile: "I went to Guangzhou in March and passed by Xiamen. You have not yet taken office. When did you take office?"

Yu Zhun replied respectfully, "Return to the prince, the lower official received an appointment in Liaodong and took a boat south. He took office last month."

Yinzhen nodded, "Did you see the new customs system? I am in Fujian, don't have any worries and make drastic changes to me. The old customs system has too many problems and must be thoroughly rectified." After pausing, he pondered: "In addition, pay more attention to all aspects of Taiwan. Taiwan will soon be vigorously developed, and people who are not capable of doing so."

"The emperor is respectful to the prince's order." Yu Zhun bowed and replied, but was shocked. Is Prince Xun planning to let me go to Taiwan?

Yinzhen seemed to know what he was thinking, and then said, "No hurry to do this, first rectify the Fujian Customs. In just three or five years, Taiwan will build a province. Then let you go in advance and take up the position first."

Taiwan wanted to establish a provincial government and was happy, so he bowed and said, "Thank you for your support."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to transport corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other seeds to various places, Yinzhen took a group of personal guards to inspect the situation of relief to the victims in various places.

This hungry riot in Fujian killed many officials who embezzled relief money and grain. Therefore, this relief was basically just the norm. The porridge sheds really did not seep the towels and did not fall into the chopsticks. Yinzhen also carefully checked the food in the porridge shed, and all the best rice mixed with various grains.

Seeing this situation, Yinzhen was quite satisfied and had no intention of further investigation of the embezzlement. However, the hungry people in various places felt sad. Compared with the hungry people in the city, the hungry people outside the city were even more miserable. They were all black and thin, with numb expressions on their faces. Most of them were ragged and had no clothes covering their bodies, and the same was true for women.

Yinzhen only looked at it and sighed. This kind of thinness was caused by long-term malnutrition. I really can't imagine that Fujian farmers were so poor. No wonder they were eager to go to Taiwan.

When he returned to Quanzhou, Yinzhen wrote to Zheng Qinghai in Shanghai, asking him to buy 300,000 wear-resistant local cloth to Quanzhou. Yinzhen was willing to invest money in these hungry people who immigrated to Taiwan, and was not afraid of investing money in them. He believed that the more he invested, the more rewards he received.

As Yongde's army turned around and moved eastward, the originally stable and quiet Fujian became more and more turbulent.

The more than 20,000 troops of Fujian Land Admiral Lan Li had to stay in coastal prefectures and counties, and divided their troops to defend more than ten passes of all sizes. Even though the troops at each pass were relatively weak, they only played a role in spreading the enemy's situation.

Yongde's army turned around and headed straight for Dehua, and the news of Yongchun quickly spread to Quanzhou.

When Yinzhen heard the news, he sighed. He thought he would not need to use any weapons, but he did not expect that under such good conditions for placing a stubborn person. Since he was seeking death, he had to help them. He immediately issued a military order and brought military generals at all levels above Quanzhou Prefecture to discuss.

Yinzhen was the imperial envoy who commanded all the water and land in Fujian. As soon as the military order was issued, no one dared to neglect it. A group of military generals soon gathered in the admiral's convention hall.
