Volume 3 Chapter 114 The Wicked Sue First

Why is Yang Cong so sure that he can clean up the Zhangpu Lin clan and the Longxi Chen clan this time?

Quite simply, because he has a killer feature.

He has 60,000 heavy troops at his disposal, and this is no joke.

Of course, 60,000 heavy soldiers is not his killer weapon, and the court is still talking about the law at this time, and he can't rely on the 60,000 army to do whatever he wants, and he can clean up whoever he wants.

The key is the food and salary of these 60,000 heavy soldiers, even merchants like Yang Rong know that the consequences of the 60,000 army cutting off food and salary are unimaginable, and Jiajing, the emperor, is naturally more clear.

He knew very well that Jiajing would definitely not do anything to him at this time, because once he stepped down, the food and salary of the 60,000 army would be suspended, not to mention the plan to build warships later, which also required a lot of silver.

This is where his confidence lies, how can more than two million taels be spent in vain this year, who can take such a big stall!

He calculated that Jiajing would definitely be jealous, so he played the trick and sued the wicked first, and when he caught Lin Changshui, he played and sued Lin Changshui.

However, he was not involved in any pirates and pirates, what he sued was Lin Changshui's corruption, and the contract signed by Lin Changshui with him is evidence.

What are you kidding, the cost of a Cangshan ship is about 1,000 taels, and then the profits and other expenses are removed, and it will be 1,500 taels, Lin Changshui actually said that 20,000 taels of silver can only build nine Cangshan ships, this guy, one is greedy for six or seven thousand taels!

Such a person, who would dare to let him continue to be promoted by Nantai Shipyard.

Of course, the main purpose of his play was not to tell Lin Changshui, but to point out to Jiajing that in order to completely eradicate pirates and pirates, it was necessary to build 250 Cangshan ships and 250 centipede ships.

This recital has not yet reached the capital, and he has arrested all the officials, commanders, craftsmen, and guards related to the Nantai Shipyard, thousands of households, and water villages, and the sea is flattened, and then demoted to commoners.

Next, he also sued the wicked people first and sued these people.

This time, he was not so polite, his spearhead was directly aimed at the Zhangpu Lin clan and the Longxi Chen clan, saying that these people united to secretly control the Nantai Shipyard, disobeyed his orders, and wanted to make him unable to build a warship.

Of course, he is not falsely accused, this is a fact, and he has sufficient evidence, he did not lose a single confession of those craftsmen, and handed over all of them, which is enough to prove that the craftsmen of Nantai Shipyard were instructed by others not to work.

What are you kidding, what seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, and even the little officials who don't enter the stream dare to disobey the orders of him, the governor of the super first grade, and is there any royal law?

If he does this, the maritime giants will definitely not be convinced, this is picking up the big ears and fanning them in the face, it is strange that people can be convinced.

When his first recital was transmitted to the capital, Zhao Wenhua couldn't sit still.

Of course, Zhao Wenhua knows the importance of this Nantai shipyard, which is one of the important means for their maritime giants to control their subordinate maritime merchants, and it is also one of the important means for their maritime giants to make money.

He went to find Yan Song that night, and wanted to ask Yan Song to come forward, clean up Yang Cong, and regain control of Nantai Shipyard.

However, this matter is more troublesome, because Yan Song knows quite well that although this matter is a big deal for the maritime tycoons, it is a small matter for the imperial court, what are you kidding, a governor cleaning up a small seven-pin promotion is simply a trivial matter, not to mention that people still have conclusive evidence, this kind of thing has to make trouble, how to make trouble?

The court is not a vegetable market, and all trivial things have to be quarreled.

Yan Song was still hesitating, and Yang Cong's second part of the recital had arrived.

This is not a trivial matter, those officials, commanders, craftsmen or something, only seven grades, these people are eight or nine grades, many of them are still not in the stream, Yang Cong is nothing to clean up these people, but Wei Commander Envoy, thousands of households, thousands of households, Shuizhai will always be no, although these are all military attachés, they are also the fifth or even third grades, how can they be cleaned up casually.

This is not the point, the point is that Yang Cong is clearly slapping the face of the maritime tycoon and establishing his own prestige, if he is not suppressed, the southeast will not become the world of this guy.

Yan Song also knew that he couldn't hesitate at this time, let alone condone it, so he immediately discussed it with Zhao Wenhua and began to mobilize his henchmen to impeach Yang Cong.

They unanimously impeached Yang Cong for abusing power for personal gain, misconduct, and lawlessness, and once again asked the imperial court to send the imperial historian to Fujian to inspect the press and investigate the truth.

If they are really allowed to succeed, although Yang Cong may not be as angry as Zhu Kun to commit suicide, at least, it may be difficult to keep the position of governor.

However, this time is different from the last time.

Last time, Zhu Kun was indiscriminate, and catching the maritime merchants under the hands of the maritime tycoons was a killing, killing I don't know how many people, and Zhu Kun also played pirates who had been almost wiped out by him, but as a result, he had just played, and the pirates on the southeast coast became more and more troublesome, and Yan Song and the maritime tycoons could use this "fact" to impeach Zhu Kun for killing good and risky deeds.

But this time, Yang Cong only demoted some officials who "disobeyed" him to commoners, the nature is not the same at all, and more importantly, Yang Cong is going to pay for his own money to build warships for the imperial court, not to fight for power and profit at all.

When Jiajing saw these twists and turns, as Yang Cong guessed, he hesitated, or rather, was a little jealous.

What are you kidding, check Yang Cong, what if Yang Cong is so angry that he picks on his son, who will pay for the 60,000 army, who will build 500 warships, and where will the imperial court get so much money?

At this time, Jiajing still wanted to exterminate the pirates and pirates, and Yang Cong did a pretty good job in the southeast, although the pirates and pirates had not been exterminated at this time, at least, the pirates and pirates did not dare to go ashore to plunder, and the coastal provinces were becoming less and less anxious, and I believe that it would not be long before the southeast coast could return to peace.

This is all Yang Cong's original "way of suppressing the Japanese" is not bragging, Jiajing also believes that when Yang Cong builds the warship, the pirates and pirates will definitely be gradually wiped out.

That's 500 brand-new warships and 60,000 troops, it's not easy to exterminate pirates and pirates, what are you kidding at this time to clean up Yang Cong!

Besides, Jiajing doesn't think that Yang Cong is using his power for personal gain, because people are not for personal gain at all, and anyone who spends hundreds of thousands of taels to build a ship is afraid that they will be corrupted by corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Therefore, Jiajing did not send Yu Shi to investigate the "truth" as Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua hoped, but only sent an order to inquire, so that Yang Cong could explain it well, so that he could have a step down.
