Chapter 338: Yang Dudu is furious
"Wronged, little wronged!"
"Wronged!"
……
In the chaotic shouts of grievances, more than a dozen so-called traitors were put in prison.
"This is the same party of Zhang Pu and others?"
Yang Dudu looked at the old man in front of him.
"Exactly, the old man didn't expect it, there is such a group of dogs in this Guangzhou city who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, lured by that Zhang Pu, Liu Shidou colluded in tandem, and dared to cause trouble in Guangzhou, if it wasn't for the Governor to suppress it with the power of thunder, I don't know what kind of chaos they want to make!"
Liang Xuanyi, a native of Nanhai and a scholar in the seventeenth year of Wanli, said eloquently.
"But I don't think most of them have a Hokkien accent!"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"The governor doesn't know, most of the rice in Guangzhou is Fujian merchant transportation, this generation is intertwined in the city, there has already been an anti-guest-based trend, our two counties in Panyu in the South China Sea are good people, Guangzhou before and after the four guards are also the loyalty of following Taizu to fight the country, the locals in the city of Guangzhou are well aware of the righteousness, absolutely support the governor Yazheng. Only these Fujian merchants were dissatisfied with the governor Yazheng and felt that the governor was collecting taxes from them, so they wanted to kill the governor, so they hit it off with Zhang Pu and others. ”
Liang Xiang's eunuch said without changing his face.
"Wronged, old thing, don't spew blood!"
A Fujian merchant roared angrily.
"Governor, please see, how arrogant these dogs are!"
Liang Xiangyun said.
"This matter still needs to be cautious, Yang pays attention to handling cases and does not let go of a bad person, but he can't wronged a good person!"
Yang Xin said.
"The Governor is really a mirror, Governor, look!"
Liang Xiangyun said a perfunctory sentence, then turned his head and pointed behind him.
The wheelbarrows pushed forward, all the carts were full of large wooden boxes, and then a trolley stopped next to them, Yang Huan cut the rope very simply, and then opened the wooden box, and in an instant, the silver light was shining, and a whole box of peso silver coins was piled up.
A smile instantly changed on Yang Dudu's face.
"The governor saved Guangzhou, this is a little reward from the people of Guangzhou to the governor and the brothers, 700,000 such silver coins, which is about 45 to 500,000 taels of our silver."
Liang Xiangyun said.
"This, this, the people of Guangzhou are too polite."
Yang Dudu said with a happy smile.
"And this case?"
Liang Xiangyun said.
"Closing the case, can what Liang Gong said be fake? Fang Ge Lao is very respectful of Liang Gong, and the younger generation also instructed him to visit the door before leaving, but the younger generation forgot too many things, and only remembered today that since Liang Gong said that they are Zhang Pu's party, it must be Zhang Pu's party, and such a chaotic party must be severely punished, Liang Gong can rest assured that the younger generation will let them get the punishment they deserve! ”
Yang Dudu said without hesitation.
Then the two continued to be hypocritical, and those carts pushing silver continued to come in, and boxes of peso silver coins were carried down, and it had to be said that the gentry of Guangzhou were really rich, and they had gathered 700,000 pesos of silver coins in just three days.
In fact, it is not much, and the current order of the King of Spain to the Governor of the Philippines is that the amount of this thing sent to the city must be controlled to no more than two million per year. This was imposed by the King of Spain, who was forced to do so, but in reality both the Philippine governor and the colonial merchants from South America and Asia scoffed at the ban.
Including the Governor of the Philippines himself.
So 700,000 pesos may seem like a lot, but for the gentry of Guangzhou, it is actually less than a month's income during the trading season.
And so the case was finally closed.
The gentry of Guangzhou used 700,000 pesos of silver coins to gag Yang Xin's mouth very domineeringly.
However, it only blocked Yang Xin's mouth, because Yang Xin was still acting as the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, which means that this bastard still held the military power in Guangdong.
"Yan Zhangyin, this is the soldier of the four guards in Guangzhou?"
Yang Xin sat on the parade platform in the school field outside the east gate, looking at the collapsed soldiers in front of him speechlessly.
Yan Yikui, the palm print next to him, looked embarrassed.
Yang Dudu patted his head and ordered, the four guards in Guangzhou were assessed, and then the first assessment was running, the four guards added up to 20,000 in name, and in fact more than 11,000 soldiers started to climb the city from the south side of the east gate, and then ran laps along the old city wall, and all the horse roads were arranged to prohibit the Dangkou army from going down the city wall. After running the twenty-one miles, go down the city wall on the north side of the Great East Gate, and then go out of the city to this school field for roll call, and those who can arrive within the specified time will go directly to get silver, and those who cannot reach will not have silver, and the latest one hundred whips will be whipped.
And then......
"The first batch arrived, twenty-one miles and an hour!"
Yang Dudu shouted exaggeratedly.
The circumference of the old city wall of Guangzhou is 21 miles, which is basically equivalent to a 10-kilometer run.
And it's not off-road, because the city walls are flat, that is, the castle towers and other places are more crowded, but in any case it is stronger than off-road, and the soldiers don't wear armor, they just carry swords, guns, birds, etc., which can be said to be light infantry. The 11,000 men were divided into groups, each group half an hour apart, with a group number on them, and these were the first group, a thousand men in all, who dragged four miles on the city wall, and the first group to arrive had already passed an hour before they set out.
A two-hour run on a 12-kilometer light road.
This is still the fastest.
"Governor, these military households have actually not practiced for a long time."
Yan Yikui said weakly.
"Governor, the guard has been abolished for a long time, the military households are just on the household registration, usually no different from the people, but the occasional requisition is just some servants, the court has long not used them to fight, Guangzhou City is actually just a camp division, the four guards are just doing some miscellaneous work, the governor suddenly wants to assess them, naturally there is no good result in the assessment."
An officer next to him said.
"Commander Yu, are you accusing me?"
Yang Dudu said gloomily.
"The last general will not dare, the last general will just talk about things."
The latter said.
"Whose soldiers are in this group?"
Yang Xin said.
"The end, the last."
A thousand households came out to salute and said tremblingly.
"Drag it down, whip ten lashes."
Yang Xin said.
"Governor, Governor, Governor!"
The thousand households were so frightened that they fell down and shouted.
Behind him, the Bandit Army quickly stepped forward and held it down.
"Governor, why did Governor convince the people?"
Commander Yu said angrily.
"Commander Yu, this Qianhu is from the left guard, right?"
Yang Dudu said.
"Exactly."
Commander Yu said.
"Then you should go and get whipped too!"
Yang Dudu said.
Then a few soldiers of the Dangkou Army walked behind Commander Yu and dragged him out of his seat directly, the latter struggled indignantly, but he didn't dare to really resist after all, Yang Dudu's Shang Fang sword was in his hand, and he was like him if he wanted to cut it, and he was still a Jinyi guard, so he had no power to resist in front of Yang Dudu, after all, Yang Dudu was also in charge of the North Town Fusi.
Yan Yikui didn't dare to speak beside him.
Several other guards were equally trembling......
"Don't take the test, this is still a fart!"
Yang Dudu said angrily.
The generals all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, how come these four guards and 20,000 troops are only 10,000?"
Yang Dudu said.
Then the hearts of those generals instantly hung again.
"Back to the capital, some of them fled and didn't make up for it, and some of them were called by Chen Dutang, and at present, these are only left in the city of Guangzhou."
Yan Yikui said cautiously.
"That's it!"
Yang Dudu nodded.
The generals breathed a sigh of relief again.
"From tomorrow onwards, the guards will be reorganized, 11,000 men will be disorganized, and they will be reorganized into four brigades to form a new army, and all the original weapons will be thrown away, just like the Dangkou army, with spears and muskets, and the generals will not be in charge, and each family will have a young descendant, and let them be officers of this new army, and train with them, and the governor of Pontus himself will train."
Yang Xin said.
"Governor, how to solve this salary?"
Yan Yikui said.
They are not opposed to such an adaptation, these guards have been gentrified in the local area, if there is such a new army to defend the place, then their local voice will definitely increase, and they have not lost, their money is issued by the imperial court, and the families of their respective subordinate military families are still in their hands, but the young and strong of these families have become this new army. But such a new army needs military salaries, and the military households in the past planted the land, and after it became recruitment, they had to pay the military according to the recruitment, as well as weapon procurement, training expenses, these are all money, Yang Xin patted his head and said, what should he do after he patted his ass and left?
Do you expect the imperial court to raise more than 10,000 recruits in Guangdong?
The army salary alone will be more than 200,000 yuan!
"You don't have to worry about this, the Governor of Pontus will not starve the brothers, the Governor of Pontus will raise the brothers, and His Majesty will raise them after the Governor of Pontus leaves, and in the future, this new army will also be included in His Majesty's new army under the direct command of His Majesty."
Yang Xin said.
The generals immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
That's perfectly fine.
Of course, they can actually vaguely understand that whoever eats will listen to whomever they eat, and if such a new army is formed and completely supported by the emperor, then it will be much easier for the emperor to do what he wants to do in Guangdong. But the problem is that this has nothing to do with them, and it is also a headache for the Guangdong gentry, although they are gentrified, they cannot be completely considered gentry after all. On the contrary, this can add more voice to them, and in a commercial city like Guangzhou, the right to speak represents wealth, saying that these generals have no business, but the original military status is low and can not make a fortune like those gentry.
"By the way, no one of his people is allowed in the new army, and none of his cronies are allowed."
Yang Dudu pointed to the feather commander who had already begun to be whipped and said.
"The last general understands, but the left guard is not all under Commander Yu, and Commander Yu's subordinates are only a thousand real cronies, that is, Ma Qianhu's these, otherwise Commander Yu would not be so ignorant."
Yan Yikui said understandingly.
"Then you don't want one of these thousand households, and you dare to talk back to the governor of Pontus, this kind of ignorant thing has to let him learn a lesson."
Yang Dudu said.
