Chongzhen twenty-two years of wax month

In the past six months, the work of the Xuanjia Army, the Cabinet, and the Six Ministries under Fang Yuan's jurisdiction has been carried out in an orderly manner.

Fujian's disaster relief work was led by the Ministry of Rites' Shangshu Mao Bijiang, who personally went to Fujian for more than half a year to settle the victims and carry out post-disaster reconstruction work. Feng Ting, the general soldier of Fujian, also sent 10,000 Xuanjia soldiers to help the victims cut down trees, ram earth, and build houses, and the situation in Fujian was finally brought under control. The victims of the disaster have also begun to return to their hometowns one after another to start a new life.

Officials at all levels, led by Mao Bijiang, responded appropriately and in a timely manner to the disaster relief in Fujian, earned the popularity of the people, and won the gratitude and heartfelt support of the people of Fujian. As for the previous Ming court, it has long been left behind.

Zhu Yihai of Huai'an Mansion borrowed 200,000 stone of grain, and finally settled the hearts of the people of Huai'an Mansion. During this time, Zhu Yihai also heard that the granary of the military field in Zhejiang was burned, and Fang Yuan, when he was already short of grain, purchased grain from the merchant gang in Jiangnan at high interest rates, and lent him grain at no interest to support the reconstruction of Huai'an Mansion.

Zhu Yihai is grateful for Fang Yuan's benevolence and righteousness, and it is clear at a glance which side can really benefit from Fang Yuan, Sun Chuanting, and even the behavior of the Ming Dynasty.

After the reconstruction of Huai'an Mansion was on the right track, Zhu Yihai followed Fang Yuan's instructions and secretly went to Shaanxi and secretly met with Zhu Cunji. Zhu Yihai tried his best to persuade Zhu Cunji to accept Fang Yuan's suggestion to Qingjun's side, and also truthfully informed Fang Yuan's righteous act of supporting the reconstruction of Huai'an Mansion.

The two vassal kings discussed secretly for ten days, and Zhu Cunji finally got a little moved and agreed to send an envoy to Jiangnan soon to make preliminary contact with Fang Yuan.

The reconstruction of Fengyang Mansion and the relocation of the capital are also being carried out in an orderly manner.

Among the cabinet members, in addition to Shangshu Jingjie of the Ministry of War, who has been staying in Fengyang, Wang Bingjian, the first assistant, played an exemplary role and took the lead in moving his family to Fengyang. After that, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu took the liberty of Xinjiang, and the Ministry of Household Shangshu Shen Xiang, although he did not bring his family, he still moved over, and his living and office were all in Fengyang. Jiang Yueguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry who succeeded Gao Hongtu, also followed Zhu Cihuan's instructions and moved his family to Fengyang.

In order to attract the major merchants, small businessmen and wealthy families took the initiative to move to Fengyang to do business and prosper the local industry and commerce, Fang Yuan provided a more favorable condition, but all tenants, industrial and commercial households, and other medical households who cultivated and did business in Fengyang, the government provided ready-made cultivated land and shops, which were exempted from land tax within one year, exempted from commercial tax within one year, 30% of commercial tax in the second year, and 50% in the third year, and from the fourth year, the commercial tax was collected in full.

Today's Fengyang is the same as the Khorgos port before the crossing, in order to avoid part of the commercial tax, merchants from all over the country have opened branches in Fengyang, and some businesses have been diverted to operate in Fengyang; As for those merchants and wealthy families who do small businesses, they are also willing to move their families to Fengyang to do business under the temptation of providing free shops and tax exemptions.

What's more, Fengyang is still the temporary capital, and no one knows whether Fang Yuan will move the capital in the future. The land of Fengyang City, the housing price is far inferior to Suzhou, Songjiang and other places in the south of the Yangtze River, with unlimited room for growth, first served, first served, naturally crowded.

In less than half a year, the number of merchants who moved to Fengyang reached 5,000. According to the Ministry of Households, it can easily reach 10,000 households in a year.

As for the construction of the palace of the Fengyang Imperial City, the Cabinet, the Sixth Department, and the Xuanjia Military Office were the first to complete the Wenlou, Wulou, Wenhua Palace, and Wuying Palace. The Fengtian Temple, where the military and political conference was held, was in a hurry, and the current military and political conference was held at the Fengtian Gate instead of the method of listening to the government at the imperial gate. As for the palace in Fang Yuan's harem, it could not be in place for the time being due to the shortage of silver, and it was in the stage of suspension.

Fang Yuan, like the cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, and the military officials, rushed to Fengtianmen from the Fengyang Governor's Mansion every day, handled the daily government affairs, and returned to the Fengyang Governor's Palace. Because the Fengyang Governor's Mansion is far worse than the Canglang Pavilion in Suzhou, there is no place for the royal administration to settle down.

The princess who took over the independent accounting group, as well as Wang Chengen and other administrative institutions of the royal palace, could only stay in the Canglang Pavilion in Suzhou for the time being, and only after the construction of the imperial harem was completed, they could move to the imperial city.

The cleaning work of the Xuanjia Army Infantry Battalion is also being carried out quietly.

According to the information discovered by Jing Jie, before Ma Lin returned to Zhejiang, he met with two commanders of the 10,000-person infantry battalion, 12 people from 1000 households and 8 people from 100 households, and there were 20,000 or 30,000 sergeants under the command of the officers involved in the case.

If so many officers are purged at one time, the movement in the army will inevitably be not small. Some of them may be just general friends with Ma Lin, and they can't be hit too hard.

Hu Qi's Jinyiwei spent another two months conducting a strict and secret political review of the promotions and origins of the two commanders, the 12,000 households and the 800 households, as well as the distance between them and Ma Lin. The conditions that have been promoted by Malin are used as the key inventory conditions, and if they are satisfied with Malin as a fellow villager and often interact with Malin on weekdays, one of these two conditions is the object of this purge.

After the strict screening of Jinyiwei, the one who really meets the cleaning conditions is a commander, 8,000 households, 600 households. The number of sergeants involved in the case was about 10,000 or 20,000, and even if these sergeants rose up and made a fuss together, they could not set off strong winds and waves. What's more, in the face of great calamity, with such a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, who will take the lives of the whole family to rebel?

Jing Jie received the list handed over by Jinyiwei, and first mobilized 20,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry, 30,000 elite infantry battalions, and 5,000 special combat troops with Zhao Quanzhong and Zhang Ying to prepare for war. As soon as these officers and sergeants dared to riot, they immediately sent troops to suppress them.

After the preparations for the war were completed, Jing Jie began to purge the officers on the list one by one in the Xuanjia Army. In order not to arouse the suspicion of these officers, the purge was carried out in the name of dispatching the guards to various places. As soon as the officer left the barracks, a sergeant was sent to make an arrest.

The progress of cleaning is carried out in an orderly manner at the rate of two people a month. It wasn't until half a year later that more than a dozen officers who had colluded with Malin were arrested without causing the slightest stir and handed over to Jinyiwei's edict for strict interrogation.

Some of these officers confessed on the spot, admitting that Malin had confessed to them before leaving, and once there was a police, they immediately responded with troops, and beheaded Yuan and Jingjie. Some confidants and cronies of the officers first refused to admit it, but after being imprisoned for a period of time, they could not survive the punishment, but they still admitted that they had secretly discussed with Ma Lin, and carried out military advice at the appropriate time, arrested Fang Yuan and Jing Jie, and then forcibly supported Fang and ascended the throne.

At this point in the examination, the crime of Malin rebellion has been clear, and this is the biggest case of rebellion since the establishment of the Xuanjia Army.

The traitors in the military have been arrested, and Fang Yuan made a decisive decision to arrest Ma Lin. According to the information from Jinyiwei, after Ma Lin returned to Zhejiang, he began to secretly recruit troops, and there were already 10,000 Xuanjia troops in Zhejiang, and about 20,000 sergeants from Zhejiang's guards.

To capture Ma Lin, it seems that it is not possible to send a few brocade guards to succeed, and it is necessary to use the Xuanjia Army to crusade.

Fang Yuan immediately ordered Shi Lang, Zhao Quanzhong, and Zhang Ying to prepare for the war in Zhejiang, and the troops were sent to Zhejiang half a month later.

Involved in this case, not only the military veteran Ma Lin, but even Fang He was also involved. Fang and a five-year-old kid know something, if there is really a connection behind it, it must be his good mother, Xiao Yuan is making trouble from it.

Of course, without evidence, Fang Yuan could not convict Xiaoyuan's mother and son on the basis of one-sided words.

Today is the 10th day of the lunar month, just after the Laba Festival, and the Spring Festival of the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, Fang Yuan decided to take advantage of the day to return to Suzhou to reunite with the princess, personally go to interrogate Xiaoyuan, and Ming Zhengzheng was sentenced.

If Xiao Yuan and Fang He were indeed involved in this military rebellion case, they would never be able to tolerate the traitor. Even if Chen Yuanyuan gave birth to a daughter, he would inevitably cleanse the mother and son.
