Chapter 345: Arrangement (3rd Update)
This room is a wing room of the Governor's Mansion, which was originally the office of the officials, and now it has been requisitioned and temporarily used as the office of the Jinyi Guard.
Lu Zonghan strongly invited Chen Jianghe to go to the Yamen of the Thousand Households, although it was also a not too large mansion, it was much more spacious than here. Chen Jianghe refused without thinking about it, what needs to be done now is very important, where is the time to do these things.
"Your Majesty's southern tour, Nanjing will be the capital of my Ming Dynasty in the future, and it is urgent to re-establish the imperial court and build various institutions, and our Jinyiwei will surely develop and grow. Arresting rebels, monitoring courtiers, patrolling and arresting, we must take on all kinds of responsibilities.
His Majesty felt that he was trapped in the constraints of civil officials in the past, so that the factory guard was suppressed, and he has ordered the official to reorganize the brocade guard and reproduce the style of riding the world in the past! ”
Chen Jianghe's words came out, and everyone present was enthusiastic, and the majesty of Jinyiwei in the past seemed to appear in front of him. How long has it been since we saw the scene of the four riding out? Tears already flowed from the eyes of old people like Lu Zonghan.
Chen Jianghe did not lie, before coming to Nanjing, Chongzhen had secretly given him secrets and asked him to reorganize Jinyiwei. After experiencing the fall of Beijing and the rebellion of King Fu, Chongzhen thought a lot, his thoughts have changed drastically from the past, and he no longer believes in the lies of civil officials!
Chongzhen deeply realized that neither civil officials nor nobles could be relied on, and anyone could betray him. Only by firmly grasping the power in our own hands can we control the situation and restore the lost land in the Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, this is why Chen Jianghe quickly expanded the team of Jinyiwei. Of course, the factory guards and factory guards, and Chongzhen will build the East Factory again in the future, closely monitoring the Jinyi Guards to prevent power imbalances. That's for later.
"How's it going?" Chen Jianghe asked Lu Zonghan.
"The main ones involved in the rebellion are Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong and Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, and I have sent people to check in detail about their homes, shops and cultivated land, and they are all here."
Lu Zonghan said and handed over a thin booklet.
Chen Jianghe flipped through it casually and threw it on the table, "Why are there only Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhao?" What about Xu Jiujue, the Duke of Wei? ”
"Ahh Lu Zonghan was stunned for a moment, "Wei Guogong didn't participate in the rebellion, it was later that Ma Shiying ordered Xungui to recruit village soldiers, and Wei Guogong just randomly sent out a hundred and ten domestic servants to fill the number." ”
"Do you have the final say whether you participate or not?" Chen Jianghe glanced at him coldly, and saw Lu Zonghan in a cold sweat.
"Yes, yes, my subordinates will go and check." Lu Zonghan went out resignedly, and his steps were a little staggering.
"If the news leaks, you, the brocade guard, will be able to do it!" Chen Jianghe's last words shattered the illusion in Lu Zonghan's heart, and he could only hang his head and go gloomily.
In Nanjing, Wei Guogong is the number one wealthy family, which no one dares to deny. After Xu Da, the first hero of the Ming Dynasty, the duke, who died with the country, has enjoyed wealth and nobility in Nanjing for more than 200 years.
With more than 200 years of development, the Xu family has been deeply rooted and its power is intertwined, like a big tree shading the entire city of Nanjing.
How powerful was the Duke of Wei? Half of the shops in Nanjing are in the hands of their families or people related to them. The land under the name of the Duke of Wei is as much as 300,000 mu, covering all the prefectures and counties near Nanjing.
In addition to the royal family, saying that the Xu family is the first wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that no one will object. What Shen family, what Xu family, what eight families, in the eyes of the Xu family, is just a joke in the eyes of the Xu family of Wei Guogong! The Xu family is the real family.
In Nanjing, the influence of the Xu family was very great, and there were countless people who had something to do with the Wei State Mansion, and even Lu Zonghan himself had something to do with the Wei State Prince, and his wife was from the Yuan branch of the Xu family......
But now, for the sake of his own future, Lu Zonghan can't go to report to the Xu family.
Although Chen Jianghe did not explicitly say that he wanted to deal with the Duke of Wei, how could Lu Zonghan not know that this was clearly to beat the Duke of Wei into a rebellious rhythm!
After Lu Zonghan left, Chen Jianghe called Liu Neng, Xu Qingtian and others and began to arrange them one by one. Although the arrest of the rebels was assisted by the Pingnan Army, Jinyiwei was the absolute main force, and all kinds of prior arrangements had to be completed one by one.
There are too many things to consider in the investigation of information, the implementation of arrests, the interrogation after arrest, the seizure of property, how to prevent corruption in the process of seizure, and so on.
Chen Jianghe has only been a Jinyi guard for a year, and his business can only be said to be just proficient, and most of his subordinates are novices, so he trembles and does everything himself, for fear of any mistakes and omissions.
Chen Jianghe did not support the seizure of the Wei Mansion at first, and even scolded Chen Yue for this, but Wang Yin persuaded him and made him understand that this matter was beneficial to both Daming and his son Chen Yue.
It's just a pity that Xu Jiujue, the Duke of Wei, did not make a big mistake himself, he was neither the mastermind nor the affairs of the Hongguang Imperial Court when he supported King Fu to ascend the throne, and he was still very cautious, and now he was beaten as a rebel just because of an order from his son.
If you want to blame it, blame your Xu family for being rich and noble for too long, such a big force, knowing that Chongzhen is alive, but in the matter of King Fu's accession to the throne, he only knows that Mingzhe protects himself, Daming has raised you for more than 200 years, but it has no effect at the critical time, what is the use of such a nobleman?
Thinking of this, Chen Jianghe suddenly felt at ease.
The time for the arrest has been set for tomorrow, but there is still a lot of preparation needed today. Although he rejected Lu Zonghan's request to go to Jinyiwei Qianhu to work, Chen Jianghe knew that he had to find an office location, and the arrested prisoners must also be detained, and where to interrogate was also a problem.
The raid of the Wei State Mansion, the Xincheng Mansion, and the Mansion of the Sincerity Mansion is just the beginning, and the next step is to raid other nobles in Nanjing. What Anyuan Marquis Liu Zuochang, what Longping Marquis Zhang Gongri, Huaiyuan Marquis, Dongning Bo, Nanhe Bo, Cheng Anbo, etc., none of these nobles can run away.
Whether they are rebellious or not, it doesn't matter if they have participated in the support of King Fu or not, as long as they participate in King Fu's accession to the throne, as long as they respond to Ma Shiying's orders and recruit village soldiers, etc., they can find an excuse to raid their homes.
Besides, does Jin Yiwei still need evidence to handle the case? Under Miki, what kind of evidence can't be obtained! Thinking about the Hu Weiyong case and the Lanyu case back then, you know that it doesn't matter if the evidence is not evidence at all.
Of course, there is no need to be cautious in doing things, Chen Jianghe doesn't want to hurt the Chen family and his son Chen Yue because of this incident.
So although things have been arranged one by one, Chen Jianghe's heart has been carried and he can't let go for a long time.
