[0765 President Wei deploys coping strategies]
Song Yingxing saw President Wei say this, and hurriedly said: "The president's words are serious, but I don't speak lightly, how can the president not think of things that I can think of?" I'm also in a hurry, I really can't think of any way to deal with these people, their power is too great. If the president is completely tough, I'm afraid the court will not agree. ”
Wei Bao nodded and said, "Yes, it's not easy." Let's not talk about this, since we have broken with these people, there is no room for recovery, so we can only go forward hard, which step is counted, if you really can't do it, throw away this bullshit black yarn hat and go back to Weijiazhuang! ”
After Wei Bao said this, he couldn't help but feel relaxed in his heart, under normal circumstances, it was difficult for him to say such things.
This is easy to say, but the Heaven and Earth Society also has a large number of industries and manpower outside Weijiazhuang and southern Liaoning, all of which have been given up, and the losses are incalculable.
Although it will not hurt the heavens and the earth, it will definitely peel off the skin, and at least thirty percent of the strength will be lost.
The loss of thirty percent of the strength is still second, and the most terrible thing is that from now on, Wei Bao and the Ming court are enemies, and there is only one way left to rebel!
Not tolerated by the Ming court, Wei Bao could only rebel if he didn't want to.
"The president is serious, it is not yet that step, the president should take measures quickly." Song Yingxing said: "With the wisdom of the president, there must be a way to solve it." ”
"The first is to create a posture that we have enough money, so that people will not dare to fight the idea of our Haiphong money bank again." Wei Bao stood up and said: "The second is to get an army to support us as soon as possible, and this army must be enough to compete with the soldiers and horses of Shandong!" We must not use the army of our Heaven and Earth Society! If the treasure army is used, it will startle the snake. The Baojun can fight Jiannu, Mao Wenlong, and Koreans, but they must not be put in the customs to fight the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Can it still develop? ”
Song Yingxing nodded and said, "The president is reasonable, but where can I find support from soldiers and horses?" Master Wei's mentor Sun Ge Lao? ”
"I can't find Sun Ge Lao, his Jiliao soldiers and horses are too far away from here, it's useless to mobilize fewer people, if there are too many people, and if I don't get along with the system, Sun Ge Lao won't help me." And I don't want Wei Zhongxian to think that I wear the same pants with Sun Ge Lao, and tell you one thing, Sun Ge Lao will inevitably step down within two months! It was I who did everything possible to stop it, and said to Wei Zhongxian that after I was busy with the affairs of the Governor of Haiphong Yamen and went to Liaodong, I would announce that I would let Sun Ge return to his hometown. Your Majesty has already promised Sun Ge Lao to resign, understand? Wei Bao said.
Song Yingxing sighed, "The president has done a good job, don't let people notice that the president and Sun Ge Lao are too close, and you can't make people feel that the president and Wei Zhongxian are too close, it's best not to participate in the entanglement between Wei Zhongxian and Sun Ge Lao, the crime of disrespecting the teacher is bigger than the sky, it is almost equivalent to disrespecting the Ming Dynasty, not respecting the saint, and no one can afford it, I lost my word." However, if you don't look for Sun Gelao, and you can't use the soldiers and horses of Liaodong and Tiandihui, where else can you find the support of the army, Henan and Shandong are Li Jingbai and Liu Yangyao's people, right? ”
"Kyoying! Jingying is not far from here, as long as I can get the support of Jingying, it will be easy to do, I don't really plan to let the official army fight the official army, I just want to seek a balance of power! Moreover, after Zhang Weixian of Jingying is a meritorious hero of the imperial court, he has a high position and a high title, neither relying on Wei Zhongxian nor anyone, with his help, there is no suspicion that we have taken refuge in a certain faction, and it will save a lot of trouble. ”
"British Gong Zhang Weixian? Does the president know this kind of person, and the descendants of this kind of meritorious service are very arrogant, not to mention the officials, even with the prince, right? Song Yingxing was puzzled.
Wei Bao smiled slightly, and did not answer Song Yingxing's words: "Okay, you go and get busy with the things that Zhang Luo is building momentum, I'll take care of these things." ”
Song Yingxing is also a worker, although he knows a lot of scientific knowledge and has a very high cultural literacy, but after all, he is an old-school intellectual in this era, Wei Bao knows that he may not understand Song Yingxing if he talks too much.
"Yes, President." After Song Yingxing respectfully agreed, he went down.
Zhang Weixian was the Ming Dynasty after the martyrdom of Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu was awarded the title of British Duke for his merits.
Zhang Weixian is the seventh generation of the British duke, the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, Zhang Weixian and the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty (the attack case, the red pill case, and the palace transfer case) are all involved. In the chaotic and sinister political struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they were all protected.
made great efforts in the palace transfer case, and under the obstruction of Wei Zhongxian and others, he personally carried the sedan chair to carry the Emperor of the Apocalypse from the Qianqing Palace to the Wenhua Hall to inherit the throne.
When Wei Zhongxian was in power, he couldn't do anything about Zhang Weixian.
In the original history, after the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhang Weixian entered the palace at the behest of the Empress to accept the edict of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, thus exposing Wei Zhongxian's conspiracy to keep it a secret. It protected the precarious Ming Dynasty and created conditions for Emperor Chongzhen's accession to the throne.
Speaking of which, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty seem to be the best maintained in the vein of the British Duke.
At the beginning, Emperor Hongwu reopened the sun, moon and sky, established the Ming Dynasty, and named Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Deng Yu, and Chang Mao six princes, which were the six founding princes of the Ming Dynasty, and later successively sealed Tang He, Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others as dukes.
But in the last years of Hongwu, the only ones who really left these dukes and whose descendants did not have a straw bag were Xu Da's Wei family.
The mountains and rivers are changeable, Zhu Di ascended the throne, this Zhu Laosi is equivalent to beating the country again, and his team is of course also treated like a founding hero.
Moreover, Yongle treats the heroes more favorably than Hongwu.
So there were the dukes of Jingnan again.
The Dukes of Hongwu and the Dukes of Yongle were the source of the Ming Dynasty at that time, but Zhu Di's ascension to the throne was equivalent to taking Zhu Yuanzhang's country in disguise.
Therefore, since Yongle, the most noble nobles of the Ming Dynasty are the princes of Yongle.
Yongle Chuxing, the first four dukes, Qi Guo Gong Qiu Fu, Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Neng, Rong Guo Gong Zhang Yu, Jing Guo Gong Chen Heng, of which Zhang Yu Chen Heng was posthumously sealed after the war died.
At that time, the most noble were Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng.
But the world is unpredictable, and soon after, Qiu Fubing was defeated in the Qu River, and Zhu Neng died of illness on the journey.
At this time, Zhang Fu, the son of Zhang Yu's family, was born, and Zhu Neng's son had limited ability.
The son of the Zhang family, Ping'an in the south and in the north of the desert, became the first general of the Yongle Dynasty second only to Zhu Di in one fell swoop.
Seeing this, Zhu Di was very happy, and crowned Zhang Fu as the Duke of England, objectively speaking, Zhang Fu's duke deserves his name, after all, in the Ming Dynasty, there were very few famous generals who had the merit of destroying the country.
But in any case, the illustrious British family of the Ming Dynasty was born, and Zhang Fu naturally became the leader of the Jing Nan Honor.
In addition to being able to fight, Zhang Fu also has two advantages, one is that he likes to read and study, is gentle and elegant, and is humble and modest, and he is simply a model for people and ministers.
The second is to live a long time, Zhang Fuli Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, and the orthodox four dynasties, with very high prestige, but he is not meritorious, loyal and auxiliary to the government.
Since then, Zhang Fu has become the highest duke of the Ming Dynasty.
Chuan 9, when the Ming Dynasty died, the last British Duke was killed by Li Zicheng's army.
The Zhang Fu family was very powerful in the Ming Dynasty, and the Xu Da family could not be compared.
When Wang Zhen was in power, Zhang Fu dared to compete with Wang Zhen.
Liu Jin was very powerful when he was in Zhengde, and when he saw the British duke, he was also respectful.
Even the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, who was later later, did not dare to touch the seventh British Duke Zhang Weixian, who was related to the three major cases.
Later, after the death of Emperor Tianqi, Zhang Weixian entered the palace at the behest of the empress to accept the edict of Emperor Tianqi, thus exposing Wei Zhongxian's conspiracy to keep it secret and not mourning, protecting the precarious Ming Dynasty and creating conditions for Emperor Chongzhen's accession to the throne.
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the sense of existence of the British duke lineage was still very high, and the supreme duke deserved it.
Lin Wenbiao came over quickly, "President." ”
"You helped Song Yingxing to fake that we have 20 million taels of silver, and secretly transported it from Liaoxi to Haiphong Qianzhuang! Remember, it's a secret, and no one is to know it. Wei Bao said to Lin Wenbiao: "If you are escorted, you can transfer a field army to come over, and it is enough to transfer more than 10,000 people from the first division." ”
Lin Wenbiao was confused, since it was a forgery, it was fake, and since it was fake, it was to deceive the opponent, so why should it be secret, it is better to simply make a big fanfare, and make it known to everyone, isn't it better?
"Didn't Your Majesty say that you won't let our soldiers and horses come to the pass, this is to start a war with Shandong soldiers and horses?" Lin Wenbiao was puzzled: "How much baggage do you have to bring here?" ”
"Just bring all the food and grass! You don't have to bring weapons, not even swords, bows and arrows. Wei Bao said: "I am ready to obtain the support of the British public Zhang Weixian, and when the time comes, you try to help me get in touch, I will secretly go back to the capital in the next few days to meet this Zhang Weixian." As long as I can get Zhang Weixian's support, I don't need him to send many people to help me, just give 10,000 people clothes and equipment. When the time comes, let our first division disguise itself as the Beijing battalion, and with the Beijing battalion intervening, Liu Yangyao, the general soldier of Shandong, should be honest. ”
"Understood, then, President, are our people coming by land or by water? Naturally, it is by water, and doesn't taking the land route increase the freight? It is from Weijiazhuang Wharf directly to Tianjin Wei Wharf. Then mobilize a sailor to come over, without a large number of people, a boat of 100 people, 10 boats, and 1,000 people, to act as the water guard of Tianjin Wei Wharf. ”
"Yes, President." Lin Wenbiao was just about to go down, but he remembered something again: "Will the Shandong soldiers and horses send someone to intercept and kill us in Tianjin after learning that we have transported a large amount of silver?" In that case, should our people bring some weapons when they come over? ”
"No, it's enough to have a sailor's cannon, the army doesn't need to bring any weapons, and the Tianjin Governor Yamen still lacks cold weapons?" Wei Bao smiled: "Don't take Liu Yangwu too seriously, they just howl twice, I put 10,000 people in front of them, they can't kill them, they don't have that much courage." ”
"Yes, President." Lin Wenbiao clenched his fists and retreated.
After Wei Bao made these deployments, his mood calmed down a little, and he was quite satisfied with himself.
He is not afraid of difficulties, but he is afraid that he will be at a loss in the face of difficulties.
In modern times, Wei Bao is often at a loss for problems and doesn't know what to do, but after more than a year of experience in Daming, Wei Bao feels that he has really become very powerful!
Heaven and earth will be such a big mess, and he can deal with the complicated situation of officialdom at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
In the afternoon, Wei Bao even called Yang Xue and Xiong Xin'er to accompany him to the harbor and wharf to survey the environment.
Wei Bao wants to build Tianjin Weixin City here, and also build a military port, a civilian wharf, and a large dock.
Not only has the survey and design work already begun, but we have also begun to recruit various talents.
Wei Bao's salaries for craftsmen have always been very generous, and Wei Bao's most important thing is industrial workers.
Especially in the Ming Dynasty, an era of extreme lack of craftsmen.
A stonemason's monthly salary can reach five taels of silver! Carpenters and other craftsmen are slightly lower.
The main reason is that the stonemasons are tired and the technical requirements are high.
Notices recruiting craftsmen are posted everywhere.
As a result, the Yamen, the governor of Haiphong, will recruit a large number of people to build the harbor wharf, build a new city, build a dock, and build a strong river embankment and sea wall.
In addition, Wei Bao asked the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to arrest the big families in these places and investigate the bad deeds of these people, which also greatly eased the speed of the formation of the opposing camp.
The Tiandihui is a modern system, a group with pure party and political attributes, and this efficiency is unmatched by any group in this era.
That's why every time Wei Bao makes a move, the other party makes another move, and then Wei Bao makes a move back, and he wins.
Between the back and forth, the gap between the efficiency of the two sides is really a bit big, as long as they don't come up, they will be beaten up, and the heaven and earth will already be invincible in this era.
"It was not bad to travel in this weather. The autumn is high and cool, the clouds are light and the wind is light, hahaha. "Wei Bao's ink is limited, although he has the fame of a tanhualang, and the title of a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, which sounds scary, but he knows his own business, even if he may not have the level of talent in this era now, he is barely able to be a child. Therefore, Wei Bao rarely drags texts, and there is nothing to drag if he wants to.
Originally, he has been engaged in the imperial examination, maybe Wei Bao's cultural progress is better, but since the title of the gold list entered the officialdom, Wei Bao has stopped reading at all, has no time, and sometimes even insists on practicing martial arts every day for a day or two.
"The weather is wonderful." Yang Xue glanced at Wei Bao curiously, she and Xiong Xin'er were sitting in the carriage.
Yang Xue is wearing a white flower on her head, her father is dead, and her daughter does not have to keep filial piety for a long time, so as to express her grief.
Yang Xue didn't understand why President Wei was in a very difficult situation, why he could be so calm, and Wei Bao's mind really made Yang Xue admire.
Xiong Xin'er didn't say anything, she also glanced at President Wei, she was in a good mood, her father was released and had been sent to southern Liaoning, these were naturally all done by Wei Bao to the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
It is absolutely impossible for Xiong Tingbi to think of another office, to be able to go to southern Liaoning is to go to Wei Bao's territory, even if he saves his life, Xiong Zhaoqi also serves in the Heaven and Earth Society, and the ending of all this is already very good for the Xiong family.
Xiong Xin'er didn't dare to show interest and was too happy, mainly because she was afraid that the president would have some ideas, after all, the president was going through great difficulties.
So Xiong Xin'er, like Yang Xue, didn't understand the smiling President Wei, but admired it very much.
The common people of Tianjin Wei in Hejian Prefecture saw the car of the governor of Haiphong Yamen coming, and they all avoided the roadside, driven by curiosity, they all secretly looked at Wei Tanhua, a young man who was already famous in Daming.
Everyone knows about the current situation, even if the Internet is not as developed as in later generations, and the whole world will not know about it immediately when something happens.
But after all, the towns are not as good as the countryside, and the people who live on the streets are still very well-informed.
Yushu was in the wind, and the handsome Lord Wei seemed to be in a very good mood when he traveled, which in itself was enough to serve as a very successful thing to calm people's suspicions and doubts about the Yamen, the governor of coastal defense.
Even if Wei Bao does not have the official position of Governor of Haiphong, but the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong does not have a Governor, and Wei Bao participates in politics and presides over all affairs, so what is the difference between Wei Bao and the Governor?
The common people secretly hope that the rumors are true, and from now on, they can directly pay the farmland tax to Haiphong Qianzhuang, without going through the hands of the local chiefs and Li Zheng, so that they can save a lot of exploitation.
In addition, if they can really re-register their household registration and re-measure the acres of land, they can save a lot of exploitation!
Li Zheng and A Chang they charge one or two silver, at least they will collect five more dollars of silver, this is still a kind point of Li Zheng Jiachang, the overcharged silver can have a variety of names, what silver quality problems, what previous years arrears of silver two interest problems.
Anyway, it's just to strip all the poor people who are miserable and have to starve to death all year round.
At this time, Lord Wei suddenly exempted the taxes accumulated over the years, and grabbed all the power to collect the money from the local yamen to the yamen of the governor of Haiphong, which made the common people feel relaxed at once.
Naturally, the common people hope that all this can really be realized.
On the other hand, how much the common people look forward to the good of Lord Wei Baowei, and the Yamen, the governor of coastal defense, to establish his prestige in the local area as soon as possible and get on the right track, how much the gentry and big families want Wei Bao to die as soon as possible, and how much they want Wei Bao to be hacked and killed with a knife before they can feel at ease.
In such an era, the common people do not have the slightest right to speak, they are passive bearers, until they can't bear it anymore, follow the people to rebel, this is the only resistance they can do.
In places where there is no war, it can even be said that the gentry can represent all the local people.
Wei Bao will greet passers-by along the way, and sometimes he will get off the horse and eat a little Tianjin Wei's special snacks.
