It's no different in nature than cutting first and then playing.

However, Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, had a very interesting attitude towards this matter, and said to the squire Cui Zhijia: "This is a good thing. ”

When Cui Shilang went to Liyang to get the labor fee, he told his father-in-law Wei this sentence.

"What's the good thing?" Gonggong Wei was a little puzzled.

Cui Shilang laughed and said, "The old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come." ”

Father-in-law Wei didn't like Cui Laozi's way of speaking like a Zen fan, so he asked for advice.

Cui Shilang has no class to teach, and tells the mystery of Lord Nashangshu.

But it is a great joy for all.

The three major battalions of the southern capital are already unbearable and rotten, and the successive garrison ministers have not thought about rectification, but because the matter involves the garrison lords and ministers, and it is related to the private interests of the nobles and nobles in the southern capital, it is to make a desperate rectification, and in the end it is superficial.

There is no way, the Nandu garrison and the nobles have been intertwined for more than 200 years, and they have long had a community of interests.

Now, it's the best opportunity in 200 years!

You must know that the transfer of these officers from the Shenji Battalion to Gonggong Wei means that a considerable part of the "conservative" forces in the Shenji Battalion alone have been uprooted.

In other words, conservative forces are corrupt forces.

Only when the corrupt forces are swept away, can the garrison Wenchen really intervene in the camp affairs and rectify the garrison, so that they can really form influence and control the garrison of the southern capital.

So, how could Nanjing's own soldier Wang Yongguang turn his face with Gonggong Wei because of this matter.

To put it mildly, this soldier even wished that Gonggong Wei would pack up and take away all the soldiers who ate and drank the blood of the three battalions.

The inner garrison Liu Chaoyong will not object.

In addition to being the same as Wang Yongguang, the reason is more beneficial and beneficial.

A turnip and a pit, you Wei eunuch took the officers away, who will fill this vacant seat?

The only unlucky one is the garrison lord Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei Guogong, who will be overshadowed by the Nanjing Military Department and the Inner Garrison Hall if he doesn't do it well.

Cui Shilang kindly gave a bag to Gonggong Wei, persuading him not to even put back the people in the Shenwu camp, and the soldiers of the lords of each family should also delay it as much as possible, even if they were returned, and they should not be put back all at once, but in batches and days.

In this way, there will be a large number of people on the side of the military headquarters and the inner garrison hall to fill the vacancy, instead of falling into the hands of the lords.

My father-in-law was right when he thought about it, he would definitely release people, but he never said when he would release them or how much.

Listening to Cui Laozi's words, Wang Yongguang will never be embarrassed by his father-in-law Wei. And with the good of the Nanjing Military Department, this matter will pass by the court.

Procedurally, the garrison lords, garrison eunuchs, and garrison ministers of the southern capital all have the right to write letters.

But the court can really listen to only one Wenchen.

The lords and eunuchs are responsible to the emperor, not to the Beijing court.

The answer is obvious, as to whose words the Beijing War Department and the Cabinet will prevail.

If Wang Yongguang could speak for himself, the nature of this matter would definitely become very pleasant.

Anytime, the words are spoken by people.

The same thing, when spoken by different mouths, makes an infinite difference.

Father-in-law Wei personally sent Cui Shilang out of the hall with a smile on his face, in addition to paying the labor fee, he also paid an extra 5,000 taels, but he asked Cui Shilang to transfer Wang Shangshu for him.

Stretching out his hand and not hitting the giver, his father-in-law believes that Wang Shangshu will read his own good.

As for Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, his father-in-law believes that he will understand the power of the eunuch dictatorship with an iron fist.

In the afternoon, Grandpa Wei was busy with two things, one was money and the other was people.

The specific profit of this trip to Nandu has come out.

Converted into silver, a total of 1,360,000 taels.

Among them, there are about 400,000 taels of land deeds and house deeds, as well as some properties.

My father-in-law is too lazy to engage in the secondary or tertiary industry now, so he asked Song Sibao to sell these things as soon as possible, and it doesn't matter if the price is cheaper.

The hard thing is how to divide the accounts.

If you give less, you can't impress the emperor. gave too much, and my father-in-law couldn't impress himself.

In the end, the father-in-law gritted his teeth and decided to divide it into four or six.

He is four, and the emperor is six.

Therefore, he should delegate a huge sum of no less than 700,000 taels to the inner treasury of the Beijing Division.

700,000 taels is more than 8 million catties, which is equivalent to about 4,000 tons. (Ming system, one pound sixteen taels)

With such a large sum of money, you will definitely not be able to go by land, but by water.

There are only two waterways, one is water transportation, and the other is the sea route.

The most secure thing must be Caoyun, there is a garrison in the canal, and there is a yamen of the governor of Caoyun, and there will definitely be no accidents. This will be a peaceful and prosperous era, how can anyone dare to rob Hua Chengang. In the last years of Chongzhen, this luck has never been broken, let alone robbed.

However, the one-time luck of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is too ostentatious and too eye-catching.

Father-in-law Wei didn't want what he was doing in Nandu to make a fuss and cause a second round of public opinion, so he finally decided to go by sea.

The Royal Navy was in charge of the transport, and it also took the opportunity to familiarize itself with the North-South Sea Route again.

If the time comes, my father-in-law also wants to go back to Beijing.

I have days away and feel a little homesick.

After deducting the 700,000 taels deducted to Emperor Laozi, at least 500,000 or 600,000 taels must fall into the hands of his father-in-law, and this money will certainly be enough for the military and political construction and expansion of the SAR.

The next day, the stewards of the governors of the various prefectures who had stayed in Liyang for many days were finally arranged to receive people, but each family could only bring back fifty people first.

After the news was transmitted back to Nandu, some of the lords didn't care, some seemed to know that there must be such a thing, and they had already been mentally prepared, and some were angry and stomped their feet and scolded, but in addition to scolding and venting their anger, they could only acquiesce.

After all, Eunuch Wei promised to release the person, but he didn't say that he wouldn't let him go.

On that day, the Southern Capital Lords organized the East and West Route Army, with a total of more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, except for those who escaped with the dead and wounded, the Ming Imperial Army captured more than 5,400 people, and after more than 1,200 were released, all the remaining people were escorted back to the Special Administrative Region.

Deputy General Li of the Shenji Battalion also performed well, and when they could not return to the southern capital, they used their own means to pull out hundreds of people from the Shenji Battalion in the city. said that he would work under Gonggong Wei in the future, and it would be easier to do things with more people.

This is on the surface, but the private thought is that I will bring more people, and this official will do it steadily.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the premise of wanting to be promoted and make a fortune is that there are people under you.

How Gonggong Wei didn't know their careful thoughts, but he was happy to see it.

In addition to the personal guard battalion, Cao Wenyao led the second battalion of the left and right infantry army and the horse team to escort the prisoners, silver taels, and ordnance back, and his father-in-law rectified the affairs of the iron yard in Liyang.

In fact, the former iron field Xu Yuan did a very good job, the rules and regulations are the same, Wei Gonggong does not need to make a big move, as long as Xu Yuan's working hours and wages are reduced and increased, he can do his best to win the hearts of these miners.

The real rectification of Gonggong Wei was the establishment of a mine guard among the miners.

"The iron yard belongs to our family, and it is yours!"

My father-in-law said this to the miners when the Mine Guard was formed.
