Chapter 326: Interests Deceive the superiors and the subordinates
Chapter 326: Interests Deceive the superiors and the subordinates
The more than 2,000 people in the Dengzhou battalion disappeared out of thin air, after all, the officials of the Wang Governor's Mansion and the Denglai Soldiers' Bureau did not see any corpses in the ashes of the Thousand Households in Yantai Mountain.
This document full of gods and monsters was reported to the Ministry of War, and the Shangshu and the squires who read it were all very angry, thinking that such a report was reported, how could the Ministry of War get it outside to submit the document, and many people in the capital knew that Jiang Feng had built a fortress between Incheon and Seoul.
It can be regarded as a piece of territory overseas, but although these people know the truth now, no one will tell the emperor the news, and even strictly order their own subordinates to tell it.
Lu Bing and Huang Jin have always been quite concerned about Jiang Feng's movements, and the mobilization of troops and horses around Shandong can be said to be the arrangement of these two people, of course, they did not expect such a rebellion to suddenly break out, and it would cause such a big trouble, those soldiers and horses were all surrounded and defended in Shandong, and they were scattered a lot by the rebels.
In the end, the solution can only be solved in the border army mobilized in Jizhen and Xuanhua, for this rebellion, the people who are close to Emperor Jiajing are all aware of the abduction of King Jing, and the rebels are also relying on his banner, Jiajing is not only not worried, but also quite gloating.
When Wendao and Liu Shisan's two forces of soldiers and horses were combined, the entire Lunan and part of Laizhou were occupied, and Emperor Jiajing was finally furious, especially when he got the so-called rebels to go straight to Nanjing, and when Nanjing supported King Jing as the emperor, he issued orders again and again, ordering the military department and the military department in Nanjing to be careful and encircle and suppress with all their might.
Now the rebel army, which has been tossed for more than half a year, has finally been destroyed, and the head of Wendao has been sent to the capital, and Liu Shisan is still being closely pursued.
Whether these things have anything to do with Jiang Feng and his Dengzhou battalion, these two people are also unclear, although Jinyiwei and Dongchang have relatively strong intelligence capabilities in this era, they are not omnipotent, and Yantai Mountain Qianhu is a forbidden place for outsiders.
It would be easy to say if Jiang Feng's soldiers had some barracks backgrounds, but his subordinates were basically composed of artisans and farmers, and Jinyiwei had no prejudgment at all, so he had no way to start. What's more, Lu Bing also has two huge estates outside the Guan, and Huang Jin has also gained huge benefits in Shandong's private salt.
What Jiang Feng did in North Korea, in fact, belongs to the ancient times to the present, no one dared to do this, this attack on the vassal state can also be said to be a rebellion, but the royal family of the vassal state of Korea did not say anything, and there was no official document here, in fact, in February this year, Jin Yiwei once received news that it was the house slaves of several nobles in Jingshi who killed people outside the city. If there is no complaint from the bitter lord for this kind of thing, whether it is Jinyiwei or the yamen of Shuntianfu who will not pay attention to it at all, why should the bitter district cause trouble for those high gates.
Of course, if the person who was killed this time investigates in detail, it will be found that he is not a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, but an official of North Korea, and he still has a letter of letters asking for help and complaining, but the special situation of North Korea makes him have to go on the road with one or two retinues.
After coming to the outskirts of the capital, the nobles who had already set up surveillance personnel effortlessly discovered this person, and an assassination that did not require too much skill and preparation made the news still not enter the capital.
What Jiang Feng did was treason, secession or rebellion, but the nearly 100 nobles and officials of the Ming Dynasty behind the Jingshi Business Group can already be said to be a fraction of the size of the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty, and they are basically related to Jiang Feng in one way or another.
If Jiang Feng is questioned, then what are these nobles who took a large number of ships to North Korea to buy and sell people, not to mention that when these nobles' subordinates were in North Korea, they were also used as occupation troops on some occasions, and they would not be related at all, Lu Bing's manor had nearly 500 Korean slaves, and there were even more other manors, and if there was trouble, everyone would not get any benefits, and Huang Jin, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, was even more so.
He gets nearly 50,000 taels of silver in the hands of his younger brother Huang Ping every year, Jiang Feng and Huang Ping share the distribution of private salt in Shandong, if he has anything to do, then Huang Ping is not funding the rebellion.
At this time, the imperial court is not a situation where eunuchs, military attachés, civil officials, brocade guards, and nobles are dominant, and the forces of all sides are entangled with each other.
However, at this time, things are also quite strange, almost all the forces in the DPRK and China are in the reclamation manors outside the Guan, there are such and such interests, since ancient times, high-ranking officials are the easiest to get rich, they have power and money in their hands, and the news is convenient, it is difficult to get rich or not.
When the restaurant in the capital was the most profitable, many people followed up in time, and naturally made a fortune, although the reclamation manor outside the Guan, although it was already a big profiteering, but there was no one in their hands, no power, no money, how did they do such a thing, these people more or less bought Korean slaves in Jiang Feng's hands.
In other words, everyone has a handle to be held by the other, and in order to make money and make a fortune, everyone needs more Korean slaves, and last year's group of people arrived outside the gate in the autumn and winter, not to mention those who died and escaped on the road, burned the land in the autumn, prepared it, cut down wood and chiseled ice in the winter, and worked in the spring of the second year. The managers of the reclamation estates, who generally had only experience in managing tenants and had no experience in using slaves, ended up killing and wounding a large number of people, all of whom were turned into fertilizer in the fields. However, the large harvest is also gratifying.
So everybody is going to buy more North Korean slaves this year.
Now there are so many people in the court who have such and such involvement with Jiang Feng in North Korea, and these people still want to continue to gain benefits, naturally they don't want to make any other troubles, although the emperor has the ability to penetrate the world, but without a step out of the deep palace, his eyes and ears are Jinyiwei and Dongchang, as well as the news of the imperial historians.
But now everyone didn't want the emperor to know about this, and in the end, they actually came to such a conclusion, and the 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion fought to the death with the rebels, and they were exhausted.
The emperor's mind has now begun to turn to alchemy and Taoism, and he still doesn't care about the life and death of a garrison and thousands of soldiers in Shandong, and even these things will not appear on the excerpts and documents he said to read.
After all, things could not have passed so peacefully, and Liu Shunhua, who had already done a good job in Zhejiang, was in pain after learning the news that his beloved daughter had died in the banditry in Shandong. The so-called disaster is not a single line, and almost at the same time, the court issued a document of reproach.
The reason for the condemnation is that Zhejiang's maritime frontier is not quiet, allowing the Haikou to run rampant, and putting the imperial court's ban on the sea is like nothing, and for a time the officialdom in Zhejiang is full of discussions, thinking that before Lord Liu came to Zhejiang, the Japanese invaders have hit the Hangzhou Mansion several times, and the people have been slaughtered, and the suffering is unspeakable.
Moreover, the big families in Zhejiang, farming is now the end of the business, and every family has business in the sea, as long as there is no ravaging of the Japanese bandits, everyone can rest assured that they will get rich, and they are all happy. However, the documents of the imperial court still have to be honestly obeyed, according to the usual practice, such a severe reprimand, what the reprimanded official should do is to recuperate at home, and Liu Shunhua, the political envoy of Zhejiang, really recuperated behind closed doors as expected.
All the civil affairs of Zhejiang Province were temporarily represented by the left political participation of the political envoy of the Yamen.
The news of Jiang Feng's departure from Dengzhou has now spread on the sea, and there are people who are surprised, people who gloat, and people who are ready to move.
Zhejiang's Xiangshan, there is a guard here Xiangshanwei, here is close to the Shuangyu of Liuheng Island, Liuheng Island is actually a little crowded now, many wealthy maritime merchants are in Xiangshan generation to buy real estate, the nearby Xiangshanwei has been fed by these maritime merchants very full, but has become the loyal guard of these maritime merchants.
On the port of Xiangshan, although it is known that the sea is forbidden, there are still ships in and out there, but the cargo ships rarely stop here, they are all the ships of some merchants, and the place adjacent to the port, there is a thousand households of Xiangshan Wei stationed here, and the soldiers are also patrolling from time to time.
Early one morning in June of the thirteenth year of Jiajing, the soldiers on duty standing on the port saw several cargo ships slowly docked on the wharf, and a few sailors jumped down from it, and began to tie the cable or something to the wharf neatly, which was a common scene on the coast of the south of the Yangtze River.
However, the soldiers still felt that something was wrong, because Xiangshan has always been a group of wealthy businessmen who have come and gone from front to back, and there will be any cargo ships there, and the cargo ships at this time are all gathered in Shuangyu on Liuheng Island, and it is the right thing to make a lot of money, who will come here.
Several ships were full of sailors, and they were busy there, and a general flag guarding the harbor with more than twenty soldiers came staggeringly, and the general flag asked in confusion:
"Which cargo ship are you?"
His tone was quite polite, because the maritime merchants who lived on the shore were the parents of these people, and it would not be good if they inadvertently offended anyone. No one expected that after those sailors heard the question, they were stunned for a moment, and then quickly pulled out their weapons from the salute beside them and slashed at the soldiers.
This weapon is very familiar to the officers and soldiers of the mountain guard, with a long and narrow and shiny knife......
"The Wokos are coming, the Wakos are coming......"
In June of the thirteenth year of Jiajing, the Japanese invaders plundered Elephant Mountain, killing and wounding more than 3,000 soldiers and civilians, and plundering the place.
