Wang Yuan led the crowd into the city, Ling Xiang led the team to wait, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Ling Xiangzuo said: "The general system of the king is like a god, and he admires it. ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said: "Ling Jianqing is not chaotic in the face of danger, which is admirable. ”

"I don't dare to be called a gentleman, I'm just a servant of the temple." Ling Xiang said modestly.

"冏" is the same as "囧", and King Mu of Zhou once appointed Bo Jian as the servant, so the later generation of the Taifu Siqing was called "冏qing".

The two have comparable official qualities, and they cooperate tacitly in the air, so they naturally have a good conversation when they meet at this time.

Chatting all the way to the official residence of Yuanma Temple, Wang Yuan was surprised to learn that Ling Xiang made his fortune by suppressing bandits. Those chaotic troops actually didn't take Ling seriously, and they deserved to be calculated to death by this guy.

When Wang Yangming was suppressing bandits in Jiangxi, he happened to be serving as the garrison of Guangdong, and sent troops to southern Gannan to cooperate with the suppression of bandits, and fought in southern Gannan for several years, and those bandits were much more difficult to deal with than the rebels in Liaodong. This person is not yet fifty years old this year, but he is relatively old-looking, and his temples are already a little gray, but he is not the "old man" in Gao Hang's mouth.

As soon as he talked about this experience, the relationship suddenly became more harmonious, and Wang Yuan smiled: "It turns out that Ling Jianqing is the old Duke of Yangming, and we are also our own family." ”

Ling Xiang laughed: "I not only follow Yang Ming Gong to suppress bandits, but also Gu Yushi is a colleague." He is very proficient in arithmetic, and I heard that it was passed on from the Wang general system, and I also studied the new arithmetic of the Wang general system. ”

Gu Yushi is Gu Yingxiang, Wang Yangming's disciple, who had a good relationship with Wang Yuan when he was an official in Beijing, and assisted Wang Yuan in establishing a physics laboratory at home.

At that time, Gu Yingxiang served as a Jinyiwei, and Song Linger's Jinyiwei entry procedures were handled by Gu Yingxiang himself. Later, Gu Yingxiang was transferred to serve as the Guangdong Provincial Inspector and Lingdong Province, and went to southern Gan to suppress bandits with Ling Xiang, the Guangdong military commander.

Now, Gu Yingxiang is already the deputy envoy of Guangxi and a civil official of the fourth grade.

Since Ling Xiang has followed Wang Yangming to suppress bandits for several years, and has a good relationship with Gu Yingxiang, he is really a family with Wang Yuan.

After chatting for a long time, Wang Yuan asked about the matter: "Liaodong Yuanma Temple, how many pastures are there?" ”

Ling Xiang sighed and said: "Alas, in the entire Liaodong, there are six prisons and twenty-four gardens, and there are only more than 2,000 acres of pasture left. I, the Yuanma Siqing, only dare to measure the ranch quietly, and dare not make any other moves. Or the general system of the king has the courage, as soon as he comes, he will take back the pasture, and he does not have to worry about any reaction. ”

"Liaodong military attaché, what a guts." Wang Yuan laughed angrily.

Not to mention the entire Liaodong, only the four gardens of Yongning Prison, there are thousands of hectares of pastures on paper. One hectare is equal to 100 mu, and thousands of acres are hundreds of thousands of mu, but only 2,000 mu are left when they are encroached upon. And the ranch in Fuzhou is the largest among the four gardens in southern Liaoning, no wonder Cai Yu secretly instructed the mutiny.

And Cai Yu alone will definitely not be able to eat so much, and it is estimated that the high-level military attaches in the entire Fuzhou will have a share.

Ling Xiang asked, "What does General Wang plan to do?" ”

Wang Yuan asked rhetorically: "Does Ling Jianqing want to restore the pasture?" ”

"Of course I want to," Ling Xiang stood up suddenly, "I'm a Liaodong Yuan Ma Siqing, and I can only be in charge of a mere two thousand acres of pasture, and I can't sleep well." ”

"That's enough, let's take Cai Yu under the knife!" Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Ling Xiang reminded: "This time it was just a small fight, and most of the offenders were tenant cultivators. If you want to deal with Cai Yu, I am afraid that it will lead to a real mutiny. At that time, with the power of the king's general system, without tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is estimated that it will be difficult to pacify. ”

"Then outwit it." Wang Yuan didn't blindly come hard.

Ling Xiang asked, "How to outwit?" ”

Wang Yuan whispered, "...... Such and such. ”

After Ling Xiang listened, he resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "Are you outwitting?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "You don't have to fight, you just outwit." ”

……

Wang Yuan released all the military households involved in the mutiny and let them go back to work in the spring.

However, there were 30,000 acres of pasture, and Wang Yuan did not allow them to cultivate them. Most of the military households who happened to be tenants cultivating the 30,000 mu of land were thrown to Gaizhou (just because Gaizhou was short of people), and each person could also be allocated the corresponding land, and after three years of cultivation, it belonged to them.

Wang Yuan plans to restore these 30,000 acres of land to pasture, and let people get pasture seeds to sprinkle.

It is impossible to recover all at once, first, it is difficult to settle tenant farmers, and second, there are not so many horses to raise. Even if it is 30,000 acres of military horses, the imperial court will have to transfer some and spend money to buy some from North Korea.

Seeing that his own fertile land was planted by Wang Yuan, the hatred in the heart of the high-level military attache in Fuzhou was there.

Thus, the impeachment recital was issued again. suing Wang Yuan for forcibly escorting Fuzhou military households to Gaizhou for cultivation without authorization, this kind of transgression is a violation of the rules of the imperial court.

How could Wang Yuan leave them a handle?

At the same time as the relocation of the Fuzhou military households, Wang Yuan had already gone to the imperial court. It was said that these were all rebels who participated in the mutiny, and they could not directly kill the iniquities, nor could they stay in the original guard, lest they mutiny again, so it was decided to escort some of them to Gaizhou.

When these recitals were sent to the capital, the guards from all over the country sent troops one after another—they were finally ready to bring troops over to help Governor Wang suppress the mutiny.

As for the mutiny has been resolved by Wang Yuan, they "don't know".

Alas, it's late, it's late, I'm sorry.

Cai Yu, the commander of Fuzhou, was also late, and this guy sent the most troops, bringing 3,000 regular soldiers and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers. From Fuzhou City to Yongning Prison City, Cai Yu walked for half a month, and then stationed troops in a pasture that had been turned into arable land, urging tenant farmers to plant grain in the pasture.

That piece of land happened to belong to the 30,000 acres of pasture that Wang Yuan planned to restore. That is, on the shore of Bayi Reservoir in Yongning Town, Wafangdian City, although there is no reservoir at this time, there is a small natural lake. As long as the pasture is restored and it is adjacent to the lake, it is a good place to raise horses.

Cai Yu had been stationed there for several days, but he couldn't sit still, so he called his henchmen and asked, "Wang Er didn't react?" ”

"There was no action, and all the horse breeders here were withdrawn." The henchman replied.

Cai Yu smiled: "It's okay if he knows each other." If he wants to restore the pasture, let him restore 10,000 acres, which can be regarded as giving him a little face. If he really wants to take it all back, he will offend the generals of the entire Fuzhou, and if he really makes trouble, he will not be able to eat and walk around! ”

Almost all of the previous emperors ordered the repossession of pastures in Fuzhou.

But no matter how awesome the minister comes, the restoration of tens of thousands of acres is already the limit. The local pressure is too great, so they can only compromise with each other, and at most go to Gaizhou and Jinzhou to restore a few thousand acres.

Historically, there were frequent wars during the Jiajing period, and the imperial court was extremely short of war horses, so the emperor gave a death order to restore the pasture. So what to do?

At that time, Zhang Wei, the secretary of the Liaodong Yuanma Temple, did not dare to turn his face with the commander of the Fuzhou Guard, nor did he dare to disobey Jiajing's orders, so he could only send people everywhere to investigate the situation. Finally, in Xuanchengwei (Donggang City), which is vast and sparsely populated, it was found that there were several mountains suitable for grazing, and a new pasture covering an area of 150,000 mu was directly built.

Jiajing was too difficult at that time, and the war horse was already related to the safety of the country, so the central court was completely ruthless.

The construction of a new pasture was not enough to supply military horses, so the Yuanma Temple and the Xingtaifu Temple were separated again. Yuanma Siqing was also in charge of the military and civilians of Gaizhou, Fuzhou, and Jinzhou, and took away the administrative power of the three guards. He also let the Xingtai servant Siqing move to Xuanchengwei and take away the administrative power of the Xuancheng commander.

Jiajing has achieved this point, and the four guards have not stopped. As a result, Jiajing set up troops in southern Liaoning and took away part of the military power of the four guard commanders!

After Jiajing's death, Liaodong Ma Zheng was eroded again...... And since then, it has been completely erosive, and Liaodong not only could not supply military horses to the imperial court, but reached out to the imperial court to ask for silver to buy war horses. This increased the income of the Liaodong military attaché, and he could easily buy tens of thousands of taels of silver, from which he could embezzle most of it.

Cai Yu saw that Wang Yuan was soft, and he was about to withdraw his troops, when he suddenly received an invitation.

Governor Wang's 28th birthday banquet, so that the officers of the guards who came late did not rush to withdraw their troops and go home, and all went to Yongning Prison City to attend the birthday banquet.

"Brother Cai, you can't go, this guy must not be well-intentioned!" Commander Sun Heqian persuaded.

Cai Yu sneered: "I'm not stupid, can I come back if I go?" Go to the feast on my behalf, and say that I have relapsed into a stubborn disease, and that I am lying in the barracks and cannot move. ”

As long as he doesn't leave his army, Wang Yuan will be afraid of another mutiny in Fuzhou!
