Many people, including Zhengde before picking up girls, focused their attention on Jiangnan, while Jiangnan people were wandering around. The situation changed too quickly and too weird, which really made people at a loss.

The plague god slaughtered Jiangnan and implemented a new policy; then the Tartars broke through the pass, and Zhengde led the army to fight in person; later, King Ning suddenly issued an edict to the world, listing Zhengde's various debauchery and injustice, and re-mentioned the saying that the raccoon changed the prince, and demanding the abolishing emperor and re-establishing the new emperor on the grounds that Zhengde was not the bloodline of the late emperor.

His words were not just a saying. A few days after the news of Zhengde's personal expedition reached Jiangnan, he had already raised the flag and rebelled. He gathered the troops and horses since he resumed his guards, and spread out heroes and money, and invited heroes from all over the world to participate in the righteous act. He gathered troops, known as a 100,000 people, and on the day of the winter solstice in early November, he officially launched troops.

Such a big incident certainly shocked the world. This was the first time that the vassal kings had rebelled since the Jingnan Dynasty. Otherwise, how could there be many records during the Zhengde period? Even if the vassal kings had this idea, they would not have the strength.

For a time, people from several southern provinces focused on Nanchang, and their attention was even above the imperial guards' personal expedition. After all, this place was closer, they got news quickly, and they were more correlated with their own interests.

Jiangnan is no exception. The progress of various construction projects in Hangzhou Bay suddenly became slower, and all the families were confused about the future. It was already extremely dangerous for the imperial army to fight in person, and the rebellion of King Ning was like taking advantage of the situation. Although it was despicable, its effect was terrifying. Under such circumstances, can the Marquis still show miracles as always?

"In Yang's opinion, it's better to hurry up the projects everywhere. The shipyard may not be too late, but as long as the ships and personnel provided by Lushun arrive, we can set sail to Luzon in January next year! We can take some initiative sooner!"

Yang Yong is the most optimistic and positive person about the new policy. He kept shouting loudly when everyone was in a low mood.

"Official Yang, everyone can understand your mood, but you also have to think about the future. You have to know the latest news you received. King Ning has now left Nanchang and attacked Jiujiang. There are only a few thousand local troops in Jiujiang Prefecture, so how can he block the 100,000 troops? As long as you conquer Jiujiang and go down the river, the marching speed will also accelerate. Maybe you can reach Nanjing in December..."

"Don't say that the emperor may not be able to come back. Even if he can come back, he will definitely lose his troops and generals. It's too late to deal with the Tartars' invasion. How can he be able to take care of Jiangnan? What we have built now will be defeated at that time, but if we are regarded as a capital enemy... Alas, this crime should be less than a little."

"Yes, yes, even if you want to... wait until the truth is revealed."

Although no one proposed to surrender to King Ning, there were quite a lot of oppositions, even though most people had seen Xie Hong's true strength, they were still very unsure.

However, there are not many people who want to vote for King Ning immediately. After all, before the truth is revealed, if the emperor defeats the Tartars, no, he doesn't have to be defeated. As long as he can retreat to the capital with all his might, then things will still have great potential.

In a short period of time, King Ning would only occupy Nanjing at most. As long as the emperor could retreat safely and defend several passes, the Tartars would eventually retreat. At that time, draw a strong team from the border town and go south, and the outcome was unknown.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is too late to surrender to King Ning now.

After the Ningbo meeting in September, everyone had already jointly submitted a memorial and made a letter of controversy. Now that it is repeated, it will be at most just to save your life. How can King Ning do such a big thing without a pusher and helper? How can he be the turn of his later generations on the list of rewards on merit?

"Just wait?" Before Yang Yong could retort, Zheng Yuanwai suddenly snorted coldly.

"You must know what kind of soldiers and horses gathered by King Ning, and who are the people who are hosting behind the scenes. The former is greedy, while the latter is destroyed by family and people. Do you think it's okay to pretend to be a turtle? We can take action against us, which can not only help the former, but also make the latter vent their anger. Why don't King Ning do it?"

This person was originally very insightful, and his words were pointed out. The middle-class families were not very powerful. Although they were gathered together, they were certainly eye-catching, but looking at them one by one, it was not worth mentioning. They were not very powerful, had a criminal record, and had a lot of wealth in their family, which fully met the standards of fat sheep.

Even if there are a mob, King Ning has gathered 100,000 troops. How could he afford to support a 100,000 army in just Nanchang Prefecture? Even if the people behind him are not stingy with money and strong support, they must have been insufficient. In this case, it would be better to slaughter him directly than to bribe him with his own efforts.

After Mr. Zheng said something, everyone was speechless, and the scene suddenly became silent.

No one refutes it does not mean that everyone agrees with it. There are still objections, but it is just not easy to show it out.

After all, King Ning has to make some sense. Even if he starts slaughtering, there must be a sequence or exception. If he follows Xie Hong closely, he must slaughter first. If he is relatively backward, he may have a chance to escape. Why bother to hold on at this time?

"In fact, King Ning's troops are just mobs and have no combat power. If we launch all our strength, we may not be able to capture and kill Zhu Chenhao. If we blocked him in Jiujiang or Anqing, we should still be able to do it..."

After a while of silence, Yang Yong suddenly said slowly: "Think about how beautiful the vision the Marquis made is. Can Chen Hao do better after he took power? You have to seize the production in the fields as before, and then secretly follow those big guys to go out to sea to drink some soup?"

His words made some people look thoughtful, but most people remained silent. Yes, these people present had great potential. If they were to launch their full strength, they could still gather tens of thousands of troops. But at this time, who can make up their minds to take a gamble?

"That's right, when King Ning settled the bill, he might not have counted everyone. The people who stayed there may still have the opportunity to be the whole family in a few decades and become a century-old family. If it were the past, Yang would have thought so, but after listening to the Marquis' teachings, Yang had another thought."

Yang Yong emphasized, "The talents and skills in the Marquis' hands are of course very attractive and amazing, but those are not the most important ones. The most important ones are the regulations he has set and the future prospects. What do we pay most attention to in business? What do we hope for most when we go to the imperial examination and official career? It's nothing more than 'fairness,'"

More people raised their heads. Xie Hong's trip to Jiangnan was extremely smooth. Although it had a decisive decisive effect, what was most deeply rooted in people's hearts was what Yang Yong said. If it were only because of fear, facing the current situation, the people here might have gone home to wait and see, and even went to Ningwang to take effect.

They did not leave, but gathered together to discuss, but in fact they were reluctant to let go. Not to mention that King Ning would not give any benefits to everyone, even if they promised, how could they compare to the constitution set by the Ningbo Conference?

Although there were some exceptions from time to time in the Ming Dynasty, such as the Tang Dynasty's Censor, it was a very obvious example, but the imperial examination was basically fair. But it is hard to say in the officialdom. Whether the career will be smooth or not involves all aspects of relationships, especially because connections are the most important, and the hidden relatives and relatives are the most advocated by Confucianism. How can there be fairness in this situation?

Of course, pursuing absolute fairness is impossible, but things are afraid of comparison. Compared with the rules set by Xie Hong at the Ningbo meeting, the old rules of the Ming Dynasty seem to be very backward.

The new policy charter is clearly listed, especially the level of contribution, which makes people more convinced. The higher the contribution, the higher the treatment you enjoy, the more you enjoy, the more you are, the way to obtain contribution is equally published, everything is open and transparent. Such fairness is simply a dream for Jiangnan people who are very business-conscious.

"Brother Yang is saying it is good, but, Brother Yang, have you ever thought about it? Although we are together, the Marquis has returned to Beijing. Although he left two governors before he left, in addition to being honest, the abilities of these two people seem to be difficult to convince the public. Even if everyone started at any cost, they are still headless!"

"Yes, snakes can't do without heads. Even if everyone fights hard, they won't do it. Let's continue to wait."

After a while of silence, someone raised questions again, but compared to the previous questions, this time it was raised based on the actual situation, which should be considered as progress, because the person who raised the questions had thought seriously.

Yang Yong also sighed in his heart, "No, if the Marquis is still here, or if there is someone like Chen Shi Zhi, you might be able to organize this scattered sand. Although he is effective in life, he does not have enough prestige in the end, but he cannot convince everyone."

"Everyone, everyone, the Governor General sent a message and invited you to the Governor's Office to discuss matters!" At this moment, a person broke in outside and shouted as soon as he entered the door. Everyone looked up and saw that it was a head of the family who was responsible for supervising the worker at the dock.

"What's the matter with the Governor?" Yang Yong asked hurriedly.

The two governors had no movement, but when the Marquis returned to Beijing, they summoned their backbone personnel once. Later, news of King Ning's rebellion came, and the two of them were in a mess. They were both restless, let alone come up with solutions to deal with it.

If the Marquis is still there, or those two people have the style of the Marquis 11, they won’t have to work so hard. Just obey the orders. What big waves can a mere King Ning make?

"I don't know the specific situation, but someone from Tianjin came again. It is said that the Marquis sent him to take charge of the overall situation after returning to Beijing..."

"Great, who is that lord?" Everyone was overjoyed. In just two months, the Marquis' ship actually walked back and forth from south to north, and sent reinforcements. There was hope now.

"It's the new knight."
