Chapter 53 The Chaos in Fujian

Zhu Qizhen from Liu Dingzhi's clip. It can be seen that Ye Liuzong has been gathering in the mountains for more than a year or two.

Moreover, Zhou Chen presided over the reopening of the silver mine between Fujian and Zhejiang, and it was not a day or two.

It takes time for a policy to go from formation to implementation. This is still the case in modern times, let alone in ancient times, and before the policy came down.

Everyone in officialdom has a rumor.

The Fujian side wanted to deal with Ye Liuzong's move, and it started in the first half of the year.

It's a pity that the Fujian political envoy didn't know how to do it, anyway, the matter was not done properly, and with the clear order from above, the Fujian political secretary and the prosecutor brought the army.

Then the two sides fought.

The most crucial thing is:

Lost the fight.

After losing, in December of the ninth year of orthodoxy, Ye Zong stayed in the mountains to officially pull the pole, raise the banner, and bulldoze the king.

This news is now being suppressed by the Fujian side, and they are preparing for the second encirclement and suppression. Block everything, news about this one thing.

If the encirclement and suppression are successful, we are ready to treat this incident as if it never happened.

And Liu Dingzhi, as the emperor's confidant, is politically sensitive. Although he was an official in Fujian, and Zhu Qizhen did not hint that he wanted to secretly play local affairs, if he himself was ignorant, it would be wrong.

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen even felt another possibility from Liu Dingzhi's anxious performance, that is, Liu Dingzhi did not report much hope for the possibility of the second encirclement and suppression victory of the Fujian side.

Zhu Qizhen naturally did not dare to slack off on this, and immediately convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs for a secret discussion.

Zhu Qizhen explained the situation and asked the Marquis of Baoding directly: "What's going on with the guard in the south?" ”

Although Zhu Qizhen was dissatisfied with the incompetence of Fujian, he knew better, what was the urgent task to solve now? It's Ye Zongliu.

The reason why I asked Hou Mengying in Baoding.

Most of Meng Ying's southern expeditionary army were southern guards centered on Nanjing.

Meng Ying was in Nanjing for half a year before he selected more than 100,000 troops from all over the country. As for the quality of these hundreds of thousands of troops, looking at the battle of Meng Ying's southern expedition, from beginning to end, they were not allowed to fight a tough battle, and the real decisive battle was about 30,000 with the Jingying border army as the main force.

The other armies, most of the time, are just waving their flags and shouting.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know that the Southern Guards Army couldn't fight, after all, after the Japanese invaders came ashore before, they conquered a thousand households with a scale of less than 1,000 people.

Zhu Qizhen already had an estimate in his heart, but he never expected that the situation in the Southern Health Center would be so low.

If you can't beat the pirates, you can't beat the miners.

Even Zhu Qizhen's defeat directly made Ye Liuzong look down on the imperial court, and he was just living a small life in the mountains before.

Now he dares to call himself the king and withdraw the flag.

Zhu Qizhen also knew that Ye Liuzong's subordinates would definitely be very capable of fighting.

Just think about it, the physical strength of this miner, the organization can fight, and the imperial court closed the mine, withdrew manpower, Ye Liuzong stole the mine, and it will not be peaceful.

Seeing the money here, Ye Liuzong is not alone. If you think about it, you can know why Ye Liuzong was able to win the final victory, and I don't think it has anything to do with his government.

It's something that his men can fight.

But Zhu Qizhen still couldn't accept it, the vast number of southern guards were so tired, once there was something in the south, they frequently transferred guest troops from the north to the south. First, it affects the border defense of the north, and secondly, the Ming Dynasty seems to spend no money on the guard, but in fact, the guard occupies a large amount of land for free, and the court also pays the price.

Meng Ying said: "The minister is all over the south of the country, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, all of which are unusable, and the minister selects more than 100,000 elite people to serve in the army, and trains more along the way, so that it can be used, but a considerable part of these troops are left in Yunnan to the border." ”

"Most of the soldiers left behind are old and weak. Unbearable. ”

Zhu Qizhen listened to it, and was a little self-deprecating for a while.

I didn't expect the withering of the Southern Health Center, as well as the impact of Zhu Qizhen's decision-making.

At the beginning of the Battle of Luchuan, Zhu Qizhen resolutely refused to transfer troops from the Nine Sides. The large army was used by the Southern Guard.

The Southern Guard has been in peace for a long time. The combat strength was already unbearable, and in order to complete the task, Meng Ying must have transferred all the soldiers who could be used. Not many came back.

If you think about it, you can see that the combat strength of the Southern Guard Station is not enough to rely on.

At the beginning, I felt that my decision was very correct, but now that I think about it, it is really naïve.

Those in power can only weigh the pros and cons, and those who have no drawbacks and are perfect and good things must be deceitful.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen now has to face the mess he left behind.

The British duke said: "The minister thinks that he should send a part of the Beijing camp out of Beijing to quell the rebellion. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "What the British public says is very true, but what is Shousuke's idea? ”

Yang Pu first pleaded guilty and said: "The old minister is incompetent, this is the Fujian political envoy Xie Huai, bullying the king, this person is recommended by Wang Zhen, and there are many unsuccessful actions on the side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Xie Huaiqiang took the daughter of the Fuzhou Wei command as a concubine, and wantonly opened the sea, evaded the customs duty, and even instructed the officers and soldiers of the guard to commit murder at sea. ”

"The minister is the first assistant, and he can't go here to rebel against the minister, but it is the minister's fault."

Zhu Qizhen slowly closed his eyes and said, "Sir, what is wrong, I am wrong." ”

Before Wang Zhen died, Zhu Qizhen was surrounded by Wang Zhen's eyes and ears, so he couldn't see Wang Zhen's other side, but after Wang Zhen's death, Wang Zhen's other side leaked in front of Zhu Qizhen.

Wang Zhen collects money from the outside world, and when he thinks about it, he knows that he really has the confidence to ask

A person with a clear heart, who sent money to Wang Zhen. Every penny Wang Zhen received was a violation of the country's law.

This destruction comes at a cost.

It's just that this price is not paid by Wang Zhen, but by Zhu Qizhen.

At this moment, it is the moment for Zhu Qizhen to pay. Zhu Qizhen even regretted a little, he rewarded Wang Zhen with some silver, but Wang Zhen might not have done this.

But Zhu Qizhen immediately sobered up.

There is no end to human greed.

However, Zhu Qizhen also knows that dead people can't speak, and many things may not be Wang Zhen's pot, but Wang Zhen is dead, and everything will be smashed on Wang Zhen.

Zhu Qizhen didn't care about this. His focus is on solving the problem, not on whose responsibility it is.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen agrees with Yang Pu's judgment very much, and this matter is fundamentally incompetent.

From the perspective of the imperial court's law, the imperial court's decision is not wrong, whether it is to close the mountain, but to re-exploit it. Silver mines are not allowed to be mined by the common people.

Ye Zongliu and his ilk all violated the laws of the imperial court.

But the people don't tell you this, they want to live, they want to eat. There has always been a gap between the law and reality, even now.

This is where the discretion of local officials is required.

The discretion of local officials is very large, so there is a saying that the government is destroyed and the county is broken. Although the side effects are significant, it is not enough to deal with all kinds of local affairs.

The Fujian local government was derelict in its duties, and seeing that Ye Liuzong had just started, he did not want to rebel. That is to say, no matter what the local government does, there is a possibility that a mess will be eliminated invisibly.

If Yu Qian is put and where is Zhou Chen to be a magistrate, Zhu Qizhen estimated that Yu Qian dared to enter the mine alone and recruit Ye Liuzong down, and Zhou Chen also had enough means to let Ye Liuzong go down the mountain obediently.

But how did the Fujian locality.

Mess.

Zhu Qizhen slowly opened his eyes and said: "This generation of moths, it is not a pity to die. Spread my will and beckon Xie Huai to enter Beijing to see him. ”

The meaning of Zhu Qizhen's words is already obvious. As soon as these two people entered the Beijing Division, they didn't want to leave alive.

Yang Pu coughed twice and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these two people can't be moved now. When the big move is the most important, Xianxialing, where Ye Liuzong is located, is the junction of the three provinces, and if you want to encircle and suppress it, you must unify the people of the three provinces. ”

"It will take time, but he is clearly anti-willful, if he doesn't kill it as soon as possible, he is afraid that there will be chaos, and Xie Huai will definitely do his best to exterminate Ye Liuzong in order to keep his black yarn hat, and if he is taken down at this moment, I am afraid that Ye Liuzong will escape, and it will be difficult to cure for a while."

Zhu Qizhen also understands that it is not terrible for the imperial court to sit on the court, but it is the rogue that is terrible. At the junction of the three provinces, the administrative cost of encirclement and suppression is already very high, even if Zhu Qizhen immediately issued a holy decree and waited for the three provinces to coordinate, it would be a month or two to pass.
