Chapter 78: A way to quell the chaos
The prefect really didn't look at the Hangzhou county order, and looking at this county order at that time was like a trick, he took out a document from his desk, and tore it open without hesitation, so he stretched his neck and looked at it curiously.
Gonggong Li leisurely picked up the official document, squinted his eyes and glanced at it, he already had a number in his heart. Then take a look at the prefect who was inexplicable: "Greedy for entertainment, slacking off on official duties, this should be the matter of Lord Yushi, ah yes, Lord Yushi is the main cause of this mutiny, it seems that this matter still has to work on my East Factory." Then he shook the document in his hand and said: "From our family's point of view, this county magistrate is still on duty, but our old prefect has forgotten his duty." β
At this time, the prefect completely understood that the official document under the light pressure was the biggest trap dug for himself, and he really didn't understand that his subordinates, who had always been dedicated to him, actually dug such a huge pit for himself to jump, and directly ordered the coffin board.
"You, you, you wolf ambition, I look at the past when we were in the same vein as Donglin, and took care of me, but you framed me like this, and lived up to the old man's importance to your cultivation, and let me down the fact that I have always treated you as a nephew,ββ"
As a result, this Li County Decree replied indifferently: "Students have always put state affairs first, and they dare not disrupt state affairs with their relatives, so please respect and love yourself with the prefect." β
Just these few ordinary words, immediately made this prefect feel like he was on the edge of the abyss, like five thunderbolts, just a few words, he added another crime to himself, forming a party for personal gain.
Donglin is known as a party, but this is also the most taboo in the imperial court, since the world came out of a friend theory, so Donglin never said that he was the party, but directly accused the eunuch party as the party. At a time when the struggle between the two parties was already raging and making trouble to the death, he was the person in charge of Zhejiang, the eunuch of the eunuch of the eunuch of the eunuch, and said the difference between the parties. At this critical time, aren't you looking for death? It's completely finished.
The town guard eunuch didn't care about this already confused thing at all, just smiled indifferently, and playfully took the official report in his hand: "Everything has been revealed, and there is no need to say anything, this Qiantang County Decree is a bit assertive." Then he looked at the political envoy: "If there is such a big mess, someone will have to take responsibility, but if you kill everyone with a rod, it will seem that our Ming Dynasty has no Qing officials and hurts the emperor's heart, so we thinkββ"
The political envoy immediately understood that someone had to carry the black pot, but he had to set a glorious example, although this eunuch was also protecting himself, but it was also a clear indication to himself, such a big thing had already been passed through, and it was impossible to hide it. There must be a scapegoat, but there must also be a benchmark, otherwise Zhejiang Province under its jurisdiction is all a group of wine bags and rice bags, and it will be difficult for them to escape their crimes. So he hurriedly said: "The prefect of Hangzhou is greedy for power, old and stupid, and he can't understand the people's feelings, which leads to a mutiny, and the crime is unforgivable. So the tone changed: "But the Son of Heaven is virtuous, Gonggong Wei controls the overall situation of the world, there are capable ministers and officials, and there is one party in charge, and in the end, this mutiny is unlikely to have any big impact." β
Seeing that this political envoy understood what he meant, Gonggong Li stopped him: "Now that the mutiny has not subsided, the ultimate responsibility must be decided by the emperor, handled by the cabinet, and arranged by the nine thousand years old, that is all the above things, we still have to arrange the things in front of us, this is the truth." β
Li Xianling was ecstatic at this time, because he heard that the two above had made it clear that they wanted to set themselves up as a benchmark. And the mother-in-law who has been pressing on it, this prefect has fallen into bad luck like this, so logically, she has become the biggest beneficiary of this incident.
But he kindly thought that this matter could be arranged in this way, and in the end he would benefit, or that little showman would repay him well, and he would repay him well in the future. But now, he came out when he should have come out, he threw the pot when he should have thrown the pot, and he should let the prefect carry the blame, and he has already made it his back. The best way to do it now is to be a turtle with a shrunken head. Don't be too popular, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and the gun will shoot the first bird, this is definitely an ancient precept for thousands of years, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
The town guard eunuch didn't look at him, but he actually knew that such a big mess, a small county order alone could not solve any problems, and it was these bigwigs here who could really solve these problems.
So the eunuch looked at the political envoy with a smile: "The land of Jiangnan is endowed with wealth, there must be no chaos, this matter must be calmed down as soon as possible, I think of it, in the third year of the Apocalypse, there was also such a mess in Liaoxi, but there is a way to follow the precedent and feasible, but there is a lack of a middleman." β
When he heard this, the prefect completely collapsed to the ground.
The Chinese mutiny of the Liaoxi army finally cut off the head of a prefect, and used the family wealth he confiscated to fill the needs of the soldiers, and finally quelled a mutiny, it seems that he is in a catastrophe, not only is his life not guaranteed, but also the family wealth they have accumulated in the past will also be in vain, crying bitterly, he really regrets, why is he so greedy? The most important thing is that the family is ruined, and the bamboo basket is empty.
Since the financial collapse of the Ming Dynasty, soldiers have mutinied in an endless stream, and in the past three or five years, from Shaanxi to Liaoxi, and then to Quanzhou and Yunnan, it has long been commonplace.
And the court of the Ming Dynasty, all of these slippery soldiers adopted a gentle approach, killing a few officials, and letting these soldiers calm their anger. Anyway, in the end, this Ming still needs the protection of these soldiers, and they will be killed, not to mention whether there is this power or not, the most important thing is this system.
Although the military household system has now been abolished in disguise and replaced by a system of recruitment, in this era, it has become a mature matter for a good man not to be a soldier, and a good iron not to be nailed. In the end, the recruited soldiers still came out of those military households, firstly, because of their duties, and secondly, it was also a disguised way to let these young and strong men who had no permanent production have a job constraint, which was equivalent to eliminating the root of the disaster in disguise. Just like in the Song Dynasty, as long as a disaster occurred, it was a reason to integrate all the men in the affected areas into the Hunan army. I know it's a burden, but I have to carry it.
