Chapter 622: Shattered with One Blow
"At the beginning of June, I went to Zhenhai County, Ningbo, and inspected the whole house for more than a month, and also went to Yuyao in Shaoxing and Ninghai in Taizhou, where wealthy businessmen from the southeast either came to visit or met in private, all saying that the Zhejiang Inspector Qian Yuan colluded with Wang Zhi to collect money, forced maritime merchants to smuggle out of the sea, and killed people and goods......
Xu Jie's reading was the secret letter sent to Beijing by Zhao Zhenji seven days ago, and after a pause, he indifferently turned his head to look at the other letter on the table side by side.
"On the sixth day of the seventh month, I returned to Zhenhai from Cixi, and was suddenly taken captive to the depths of Hou Tao Mountain, and more than 1,000 bandits attacked that night, burned down the warehouse, raised swords and guns at the same time, and approached the front of the battle."
"Zhejiang Governor Qian Yuan, Ningbo Prefect Tang Shunzhi, Governor's Office Staff Wang Yin and Zheng Ruozeng are all there, the Qian family guards defeated the enemy three times, and the guerrilla general Qi Jimei of Zhejiang Capital Division led two hundred soldiers from Jinji Mountain to cross the river and copy his back road......"
Thinking of this, Xu Jie couldn't read it anymore, and threw the letter paper at Zhang Juzheng.
The letter fluttered and fell to the ground, Zhang Juzheng bent down to pick it up and take a closer look, there was no expression on his face, but he was sighing secretly in his heart, it turned out to be the incident three years ago, and it was a good situation for Zhan Caibu.
Lu Guangzu and Xu Fan read the letter one after another, and they were speechless for a while.
Regardless of Xu Fan, Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, and Lu Guangzu all felt a chill, although they knew that the young man in his twenties was absolutely extraordinary, but he didn't expect his thoughts to be so deep, and his means were so spicy.
In the 34th year of Jiajing, more than 100 Zhen Wa traveled thousands of miles, killed more than 5,000 officers and soldiers and civilians along the way, destroyed four cities, burned dozens of villages, and crossed the Yangtze River to take the southern capital.
The secret behind such things...... Qian Yuan hid it in his heart until he went south to win a big victory? Two Zhejiang's troubles are calm? After appeasing Wang Zhi, he designed to let those maritime merchants jump into the dug pit.
Such a scheming, such a means? How not to make them wary.
Lu Guangzu quietly glanced at Xu Jie, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot? What is the letter's incredence? Zhao Zhenji should have known the inside story after the fact, that is to say...... For more than a month? Zhao Zhenji has been toyed with between applause.
Not only Qian Yuan, but also those maritime merchants...... Zhao Zhenji is not famous? is a master of science, but between Qian Yuan and those maritime merchants, Zhao Zhenji is just a chess piece, or even a chess piece that is not very useful.
The study was very quiet, Zhang Juzheng stared at the dancing candle flame, and couldn't help but be in a trance...... Do you remember learning that your friend was kidnapped by the Japanese three years ago, and I was saddened by my friend's fall? I also regret the lack of an arm that may help me make a contribution.
But that friend escaped from danger and caused a big storm in Beijing? faintly became his own roadblock...... And now? Friends are already famous? Destined to be a masterpiece in history? But he climbed Xu Steps and entered Zhan Shifu......
Of course, that person is no longer a friend now.
The three of them were silent, this letter shattered their previous plan, and the previous letter of Zhao Zhenji ...... Is it simply the flip side of the letter? The same event, but with diametrically opposed interpretations.
Xu Fan recklessly broke the silence, "Since it was these maritime merchants who attacked Nanjing three years ago, then these maritime merchants can also be regarded as Japanese invaders...... Xiangshan Island was attacked twice, and Zhenhai County was also attacked this time, which can also be explained as a rebellion, and the impeachment of the two Zhejiang and Zhejiang warlords is endless...... It also makes sense. ”
Xu Jie's fierce gaze came, and Xu Fan was so frightened that he closed his mouth.
is not only a fellow villager, but also a classmate, and even your son-in-law, who has laid down such a big situation in the southeast, but you can't see through it afterwards...... Xu Jie was furious and reprimanded angrily: "If impeachment can be dismissed, how can Yan Fenyi be in power for more than ten years!" ”
"Don't be angry, the elder brother is still young......" Lu Guangzu was stunned, the one who was younger than Xu Fan, and he was also Xu Fan's son-in-law, the word young was not appropriate.
Seeing that Xu Fan's cheeks turned white with fright, Xu Jie sighed, he didn't plan to let his eldest son in today, it was really embarrassing.
"Yan Fenyi has been in charge of the government for more than ten years, and the impeachment of the DPRK and China continues, Yang Jiaoshan and Shen Qingxia were both impeached with the body of Wei Mo, but they were either killed in prison or degraded." Lu Guangzu explained softly: "It is advisable to be strict in everything, and Your Majesty is trustworthy, which is the reason why he is not down." ”
Xu Fan was still a little unconvinced, "It is said that today Jinyiwei went north to arrest Yang Shun, the governor of Xuanda, and imprisoned...... He is a strict son. ”
Lu Guangzu said patiently: "This year, Jimen was defeated by the surprise attack of the Emperor, His Majesty was already displeased, only a few months later, the Emperor moved westward, several times the right guard of Datong, and the defeat of the officers and soldiers in the Xuanfu, and dozens of castles were broken.
This was the biggest fiasco of the Gengxu Rebellion in the 29th year of Jiajing, His Majesty was furious, Wang Minying, the governor of Jiliao, and Yang Shun, the governor of Xuanda, the two people were irrefutable and could not shirk their responsibility. ”
Glancing at the silent Xu Jie, Lu Guangzu continued: "Last year, Hu Ruzhen defeated Xu Hai in Shaoxing, and then appeased Wang Zhi, and the troubles between the two Zhejiang provinces gradually subsided...... If there is a resurgence of the Japanese plague this year, if the Japanese plague can collude with Wang Zhi, His Majesty will inevitably be furious, and Hu Ruzhen will inevitably be degraded even if he is not imprisoned. ”
Seeing what Xu Fan wanted to say, Xu Jie reprimanded: "Is there any trouble in Liangzhejiang now, do you think Your Majesty doesn't know?!" ”
"Ahem." Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly: "Xu Wenchang entered the Zhixi Garden, often on the emperor's side, and the letters of Zhancai's entry into Beijing were often secretly entered into the West Garden, and he directly resisted the case. ”
Lu Guangzu sighed: "There are many officials who are impeached and flattered, and this matter is a big reason. ”
Zhang Juzheng pondered in his heart, these days of impeachment of Qian Yuan and Suiyuan's twists and turns, His Majesty has not been released, and he doesn't know if it is His Majesty's thoughts, or Xu Wei's hands and feet.
Uh, I think too much, that's Emperor Jiajing wants to watch a play...... Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the DPRK and China are not sufficient, and they need to rely on Ningbo tax and silver, and Emperor Jiajing hides behind and watches others break into the minefield with this virtue.
Xu Fan thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "In this way, the search and arrest of Wang Zhi by the Dazhou Gong in early February is the best opportunity!" ”
Lu Guangzu and Zhang Juzheng glanced at each other, and they both lowered their eyes slightly and were silent...... That incident is indeed the best opportunity, if it is not good, Wang Zhi's command will cause trouble, His Majesty will be furious, and he will be directly held accountable, from Hu Ruzhen, Qian Zhancai to Tang Shunzhi, none of them can escape.
It's a pity that only one day later, Qian Yuan decisively rushed to Hangzhou, surrounded the governor's yamen, and snatched Wang Zhi out.
But it's a bit dirty to say...... belongs to the kind that can do and can't say, who is like Xu Fan, who is stunned and speaks directly.
Zhang Juzheng frowned, picked up the letter paper and looked at it again, "Qi Jimei ......"
Lu Guangzu said casually: "Fujian General Soldier Qi Jimei's younger brother, who won two great victories in Changshui Town and Tongxiang last year, this person has military exploits and should be a confidant of Zhan Cai." ”
Lu Guangzu has a good impression of Qian Yuan, after all, he is a native of Pinghu, Jiaxing, Qian Yuan has made many military exploits in Jiaxing Mansion, when Chongde was victorious, the Lu family avoided Chongde County, and last year Tongxiang was victorious, and the Lu family also took refuge in Tongxiang City.
Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly and put down the letterhead, he noticed that Qi Jimei crossed the river from Jinji Mountain, and Zhao Zhenji's previous letter mentioned that Wang Zhi's command had built a house group village at the foot of Jinji Mountain.
Impeachment of Qian Yuan for colluding with the Japanese ...... I'm afraid it's really right, but if Qian Yuan hadn't fished out Wang Zhi from the governor's yamen, I'm afraid that Qi Jimei wouldn't hide in Jinji Mountain.
"Uncle?" Xu Jie frowned and asked.
"Father-in-law." Zhang Juzheng arched his hand and said: "Now there are still many people in the DPRK and China who impeach and show their talents, and I hope that my father-in-law will impeach one or two." ”
Xu Fan snorted, "Remember that you and that guy are friends......"
"Shut up!" Xu Jie was also speechless, although the Qian and Xu families had already parted ways, but this time Xu Jie's goal was not Qian Yuan, but to turn to Hu Zongxian, now there is no excuse, do you still have to tear up with Qian Yuan?
You must know that Qian Yuan is not easy to mess with, not to mention the heroes in the garden on his side, not to mention that Jane is in the emperor's heart, just the high arch commensurate with Qian Yuan's uncle and nephew...... At least Xu Jie was reluctant to provoke.
"You get out!" Xu Jie couldn't bear it.
This letter has proved that there is no reason for the resurgence of the plague at all.
And the Zhenhai tax bank account ...... Fang Blunt said that the accounts were clear, and everyone sent the account books to Beijing.
According to Qian Yuan's thoughts, if the new army was formed and trained that day, it would be better to say that when the Japanese were still there, they would never have a relationship with Hu Zongxian now.
