Chapter 51: The Gambler

Zhang Zhaohua sighed and hesitated for a while before bringing the note in Yishaha's hand, she knew what was written in this note, it must be the characterization of this mutiny, and it should be that all the blame should be attributed to the children of the ministers.

She flipped her eyes and swept it twice, but she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and her eyes widened and she read it word by word.

Seeing this sparse performance, he took the lead in analyzing the reasons for the mutiny of the 3,000 battalions, and the lack of pay was naturally the main thing, and the soldiers could not go without food for a day, and the household department was still in charge of the overall planning, and the detailed work was done by Huang Guoguang and Wang Mian, although the two of them worked seriously, but their working methods were not very proper, and in the days when the wages were in arrears, they did not cooperate with the military department to do propaganda work to the soldiers, causing the officers and soldiers who did not know why to think that there was no news of the salary, so they provoked a rebellion.

In this case, the military department is also responsible, he did not find out in time that the army's mood was wrong, but who is the military department secretary, it is Jin Zhong, the former minister of the Qiandi, he is not in Nanjing City at all, but followed the emperor north to Beijing-

In this recital, Huang Guoguang and Wang Mian, who have died, bear most of the responsibility, and the dead man can't speak, so let him carry the black pot to the end. And Jin Zhong took part of the responsibility, the most important thing is that Jin Zhong is the Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion and the head of the prince of the East Palace, and putting part of the responsibility on him proves the prince's heart. And Jin Zhong is also the emperor's trusted minister, his status is equal to that of Jingnan's military generals, and it is impossible for the emperor to offend him. A military secretary who is not in Nanjing City, the emperor knows it, what is his crime?

If this is already a stroke of genius, then the next few will amaze Zhang Zhaohua even more. Because Huang Huai and Yang Shiqi drafted a note at the same time, it was mentioned that this mutiny showed that the military discipline of the three major battalions was lax, after all, it had been seven or eight years since Chengping, and the discipline of the army was chaotic, so it was chaotic, and they attributed this to negligence in training. The proposed method is that the power of the five military governors to conduct drills can be divided and the barracks can be handed over to other people.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies has the right to command the troops, and at the same time presides over the military registration of the whole world, as well as the drills of the three battalions of the Beijing Army.

Under the banner of correcting the phenomenon of lax military discipline, however, this actually weakened the control of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies over the Jingying Army, and it was what the emperor was willing to do-

Huang Huai and Yang Shiqi really touched the pulse of the emperor. This time, the black cauldron almost made Wenchen carry it, and they were really aggrieved, but they gave a ruthless and accurate response.

And the two of them used a sentence of less than ten words, vainly pointed out the officer's deduction of military salaries and eating empty amounts, and the words were very clever, not mentioning the honors, but saying that they were middle-level officers of the army, which would actually stimulate the emperor's hidden anger, and he did not move these honors now, because he pointed to them to serve in the Northern Expedition, but these people's subordinates were not worthy of the emperor's protection.

The emperor will definitely kill a group of such officers if he does not take the nobles with the sword, first, it is a warning to the nobles who are becoming more and more corrupt, and secondly, the civil officials have already admitted their own blame to this point, and the emperor is embarrassed to really put all the blame on the civil officials.

It's so smart, Zhang Zhaohua sighed, it's really offensive to no one can offend the civil officials who play with knives and pens, I want to appease those military generals, and I am proud to think that I have the support of the emperor, which is just such a little bit of confidence, sooner or later I will be played to death by these civil officials who seem to be weak. Fortunately, they naturally and resolutely support the prince in terms of political stance, and everything said in this recital is excusing the prince.

"Immediately go out of the meeting, send it to the political secretary, and expedite the delivery to Beijing. Zhang Zhaohua said.

Even before nightfall, news had come from Zhuque Lane, with the assistance of Jinyiwei and the Governor's Mansion, Yang Hong arrested a total of 67 soldiers who took the lead in making trouble that day, as well as beating Huang Shilang and Wang Shilang to death, and ordered the surviving officials of the Nanjing Household Department to identify them in the court, and they were all the first evil threats of the day, Yang Hong immediately ordered the head of the army camp to show the public, and the rest of the 3,000 battalions were dismissed and returned to the camp. Immediately, the sons and daughters of the lords and ministers jointly signed a letter, citing their own blame, waiting for the sentencing of the Criminal Department and the Criminal Department, and also sent a letter to Beiping, believing that although these generals were derelict in their duties, they had the merit of counterinsurgency, and their merits and demerits were offset and should not be punished.

Zhang Xuan got off the horse and saw the words British Mansion hanging on the door of the mansion, but he let out a long sigh in his heart.

He entered the mansion and returned to his courtyard, and Xiao, his favorite concubine, immediately greeted him, took off his boots, served him tea and soup, and asked him with concern: "My lord, since you went to Vermilion Bird Lane, the concubine has been worried, and it is only now that she is relieved." ”

Zhang Xuan looked at her tired look and knew that she had indeed not slept for two or three days, so he said, "What are you afraid of, they are all soldiers of your own family." ”

"But it's all a mess!" Xiao Shi still looked up and down around him.

"Rebel soldiers," Zhang Wei said: "How can a soldier not kill people, if I don't say it, can you know that Lao Kang, who used me as a stool, also has dozens of lives?"

The first time Xiao Shi heard him say that the coachman, who was usually unknown and saw people bowing his head, was actually murderous, and she also called this person back and forth many times, and suddenly turned white with fright.

"People can't look good," Zhang Hui patted her hands, as if to say to herself: "People can't look good." ”

Yang Hong is the same age as him, but he has surpassed him countless times, and it is easy to straighten out the military camp, he looks at this young hundred households, just like he looks at his brother Zhang Fu, which is also an existence that he can only look up to.

He is already twenty years old, and his family has appointed a marriage for him, and when he is married, he will move out of the English Mansion, and he will no longer be a descendant of the old lady's knees, and he will also be out of this glorious court, because all the glory is earned by his father and his brother, and has nothing to do with him.

What will be written on his door at that time, it is true that the hereditary title of the Duke of England is replaced, but it is not his, he only has the name of the Jinyi Wei Servant, is this qualified to be hung on the brand? And this kind of false position, can it be passed on to the descendants? As the son of Zhang Yu, the king of Hejian, like his second brother Zhang Hui, he did not want to rely on the eldest brother in his heart, but wanted to find a developed road by himself, Zhang Hui had already sided in the battle for the heir and chose the king of Han. And if he hadn't seen the scene of the crown princess, his heart would naturally be inclined to King Han, but if he saw it, he clearly knew what kind of choice he should make.

The crown princess is clever, the eldest grandson of the emperor is deeply favored, everyone only sees the prince and is not pleasing to the emperor, but they have not thought that the prince and the eldest grandson and the princess are all one, can they still be separated?

Zhang Xuan took a sip of tea from Xiao's hand, and listened to Xiao's words: "The old lady hasn't rested there all the time, and she has asked a few times." ”

Before she finished speaking, sure enough, a maid from the old lady's side came over and invited him over, and by the way, she also asked why the second master who went out with him didn't come back.

"My second brother," Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "just don't cause trouble for our family." ”

Zhang Xuan has already thought clearly, Zhang Hui is understandable to serve the King of Han, but there are too many generals who serve the King of Han, and Zhang Hui is nothing, but as one of the few military ministers who serve the prince, I am afraid that it will be extraordinary, thinking of this, Zhang Xuan can't help but wonder why the prince would let the daughter of the Guo family go, the Marquis of Wuding is obviously the weight that the emperor put on the prince, but this thing didn't work out- I heard that it was also the crown princess who obstructed it, and now the family can listen to the rumors and rumors that came out of the palace ban, and anyone can say a few words about the princess's jealousy.

Since ancient times, wealth and nobility are all in danger, Zhang Xuan is actually a standard big gambler, he is the most popular one in the drinking party gambling game of Xu Jingchang, the prince of Dingguo, because he dares to bet, and he dares to gamble with all his might, others always think that he has to lose in this game, but in fact, almost most of the time, he is called to get his wish. He has such courage that others can't learn from beginning to end.

"I heard that you are close to the princess's sister-in-law?" Zhang Xuan smiled: "In this way, you will go to Zhang's mansion tomorrow." ”
