Chapter 128: Relinquishing Military Power

Wealth is scattered, wealth is gathered, and wealth is scattered.

Father-in-law Wei is a man with just two words - open!

Since his debut, his father-in-law has insisted on being willing to spend money when making friends with people, and he doesn't take anything for helping people. For this reason, although my father-in-law has earned a lot of money in recent years, in the end, few of them have gone into his own pockets, and it is all for the country and the people. It is precisely because of this that the maritime special zone is prosperous today, and the army of the Ming Emperor is strong today.

When Liu Dugong of the Imperial Horse Prison heard that his father-in-law was a person, he sighed very much: "In the future inner court, I am afraid that only he Wei Liangchen can become a great weapon!" ”

The people who also gave a similar evaluation were the internal garrison of the Southern Capital, Liu Chaoyong, and Mrs. Liu.

This is true of being a human being, and even more so of dressing.

No matter how hot the weather is, the father-in-law is well-dressed, and his speech and demeanor give people a sense of scholarly feelings, elegant and amiable.

This is true for big things, and my father-in-law is even more willing to spend money on small things.

For example, when the SAR was established, my father-in-law began to ask people to buy all kinds of medicines to prevent infectious diseases and distribute them free of charge from door to door. He also ordered the imperial army to use battalions as units to help 100 households in the SAR build new-style latrines and to carry water and water vegetables for the people in addition to training. If there is a disaster or something, even if the father-in-law is not in the SAR, he will definitely instruct the SAR and the Imperial Army to organize relief, so that not a single person will be impoverished by the disaster and return to poverty due to the disaster.

My father-in-law also took special care of the workshop workers in the Special Administrative Region, including all kinds of craftsmen who served the imperial army, and would do his best to protect the interests of the workers if there were any labor disputes or something.

Therefore, even though there are many rumors that are unfavorable to the father-in-law in the SAR now, as far as the people of the SAR are concerned, this father-in-law of Xiao Wei, who came from Beijing, is really a good official who is the master of the people and a great blessing for the people.

It doesn't matter if he is blessed or not, his father-in-law only does what his old man thinks is right. No, boxes of silver represent his old man's incomparable care for the Zhejiang army.

What is the highest state of man?

It is to make everyone in the world owe us love.

The word affection is priceless, but it is valuable, and gold and silver are not enough to reflect it.

"This?"

Shi Dezheng and Shen Yourong looked at each other, this little Wei father-in-law brought so many boxes of silver when they first met, which really surprised them and didn't know how to deal with it.

"When we meet for the first time, we can't be empty-handed, right? But our family doesn't have any local products to bring to you, just be vulgar, these silver rights should be a part of our family's mind, and I hope that General Shi and you will not dislike it. ”

The father-in-law smiled all over his face, looking at the generals of the Zhejiang army, he really liked it from the bottom of his bones. Among these people, there are masters of naval warfare and strong opponents of foot combat, all of whom are elite seeds of the Ming Dynasty. Especially this Shi Dezheng and Shen Yourong, they are both good generals who cannot be found, if they can be used for their own use, the imperial army will be like a tiger, unify East Asia, and compete in Europa.

"Oh, by the way, these are for you, and our family has another one for your sons, not much, five taels per person." The father-in-law waved his right hand lightly, and a guard immediately held a wooden plate, which was piled with a thick stack of money tickets from a certain money bank in Nandu. According to the number of officers and soldiers reported by the Zhejiang army this time, there are more than 5,000 people, which is enough for 30,000 taels.

At present, the officers and men of various localities are uneven, and the elite of the nine sides can get more than 20 taels a year, while the guards in the interior and coastal areas are only 7 or 8 taels, so the officers and men of the guards do more other transactions, or farm for the officials, or slave people, or go to sea to fish, or smuggle and sell goods, or do some small handicrafts at home to make up for it, otherwise this old snack will become a problem.

Father-in-law Wei gave a meeting gift of five taels per person, which is equivalent to giving these officers and soldiers more than half a year's "salary", and anyone who listens to it has to give a thumbs up and praise a good father-in-law!

"I can't help it, how can I ask Grandpa Wei to break the bank!"

How could Shi Dezheng accept this money, Eunuch Wei's methods were too straightforward, and it was clear that he was using money to buy the military heart of the Zhejiang soldiers, and if he really collected the money, wouldn't his Zhejiang soldiers ask Eunuch Wei to buy it on the spot.

"Hey, it's not our family who broke the bank, our family is an officer and soldier who is rewarded for the emperor!" Wei Gonggong said fairly.

The other party moved out of the emperor, which was called Shi Dezheng, and they didn't dare not accept the money. Although he knows that the current emperor is a stingy master, who dares to say it at this moment?

"Then the general will thank my father-in-law and Your Majesty on behalf of my sons... Zhang Dadou, put the things away. Shi Dezheng commanded, and a short and fat man in a hundred household clothes hurriedly led people forward to move things.

Father-in-law Wei glanced at the short and fat man, and felt that it was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. After a while, I remembered that this Humpty Dumpty was not the one I had seen in the tea shed last time when the martial arts society tried to do so.

In the last martial arts, my father-in-law was very impressed, because in addition to a Wubiao Xu Xianchun in the martial arts meeting, all 126 people in Yu Yingzhong's martial arts were killed in Liaozuo. There are those who were martyred in Salhu, and those who were martyred in the Hunhe, all of them are well-known Han family heroes!

Combined with history, this hundred households named Zhang Dadou will definitely appear in the Battle of the Hunhe River seven years later, and thus die in the northeast together with the second battalion of the left front of the Zhejiang army that his father-in-law had just seen.

Of course, with Grandpa Wei here, this kind of thing can't happen again.

"Who is this?"

The father-in-law looked at the civil official who was standing next to Shi Dezheng with some doubts, and seemed to deliberately keep a distance from the generals, wearing embroidered unicorn uniforms.

Shi Dezheng hurriedly said: "This is Lord Wu Keye, the prefect of Ningbo, who was ordered by Zhongcheng to supervise the grain and grass for our Zhejiang army. ”

The eunuch mentioned himself, and Wu Keye couldn't hold the shelf anymore, so he stepped forward and said, "Ningbo Mansion has seen Gonggong Wei." He only owed a slight debt, which was regarded as giving the little eunuch in front of him some basic respect, which made the subordinates behind Gonggong Wei suddenly dissatisfied.

"Good, good, Ningbo Mansion is hard, hard."

Gonggong Wei stepped forward enthusiastically, grabbed Wu Keye's arm without saying anything, and then a silver ticket was stuffed along the cuff. The action was done in one go, and outsiders didn't see it.

Wu Keye was taken aback and wanted to take out the silver ticket, but was pressed hard by Gonggong Wei, and said with a chuckle: "Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the courtesy is light and affectionate." Ningbo Mansion should not be polite to our family, and Ningbo Mansion will be borrowed for this major event. ”

Wu Keye was stunned, pointed to the living room, and said, "Father-in-law, please sit inside." This posture is closer than before, and sure enough, money is moving.

"Yes, yes, please!"

Shi Dezheng and others hurriedly stepped forward to gather Wei Gonggong inside, and after everyone sat down, according to the content agreed by the two sides before, they would make further arrangements for the alliance army, but before Shi Dezheng and the others spoke, Wei Gonggong suddenly said: "Well, there is something for us to talk about." ”

Shi Dezheng hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, please speak!" ”

Gonggong Wei nodded with a smile and said, "A few days ago, our family recommended General Shi to the emperor to take the position of commander of the combined fleet, and General Shen to serve as the chief of staff, and the emperor has already approved it, so from today on, the command of this combined fleet will be in charge of the two generals... Let's just take it easy and be a shopkeeper. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned: Father-in-law Wei gave up his military power?
