Chapter 218: Knocking
Although it has been repaired, you can still see the traces left by the war, and along the way, you can often see several houses collapsed, and you can see the remnants of the war.
In particular, the Shu Wangfu and the Sansi Yamen were particularly damaged.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Prince's Mansion was simply a microcosm of the Forbidden City, and Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the circumference of the Prince's Mansion was three miles, three hundred and nine steps, and five minutes.
The height of the city is two zhang and nine feet, the lower width is six zhang, and the upper width is two zhang.
Another rule is that it is 150 zhang 2 inches wide from east to west, and 197 zhang 2 inches and 5 minutes long from north to south.
According to today's conversion, it is almost 330,000 square meters (the Forbidden City is 720,000 square meters), nearly 500 acres.
The Prince's Mansion building is large-scale, majestic, splendid, surrounded by the same tall city wall and four city gates, the city tower is covered with blue glazed tiles, and the gate is decorated with red lacquer gold and copper nails, as if it is the epitome of the imperial capital Yingtian Forbidden City. The main gate of the four cities of the palace is called Duanli in the south, Guangzhi in the north, Tiren in the east, and Zunyi in the west.
The three main buildings of the Prince's Mansion are the three main halls, which are the Carrier Palace, the Circle Hall and the Preservation Palace.
The front hall carries the largest hall, with a width of 11 rooms, and is the main body of the entire palace building. Immediately followed by the Circle Hall and the Heart Palace, each with nine rooms.
All the palaces are arched and roofed, painted with pan cockroaches, decorated with gold edges, and painted with eight auspicious flowers. The seat in the hall is made of red lacquer gold cockroach, the red pin gold cockroach is used for hanging the account, and the back wall of the seat is painted with a cocktail and colored clouds.
The whole pattern is very similar to the three major halls of Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe in the Forbidden City, which are the places where Gu Wang holds celebrations and exercises power.
The two halls of the carrier hall are the two halls on the left and right.
The main gate, the front and rear halls, and the four-gate city tower are decorated with green and gold. The palace gate and the city gate tower are covered with cyan glazed tiles. The prince's palace must be decorated with vermilion, big green, and green, and the other rooms should be decorated with Danbi.
Self-mind, carrier, back to the carrier door, for the house 138 rooms. Behind the palace are the front, middle and back three palaces, each with nine rooms. There are ninety-nine rooms on both sides of the palace gate. There were 800 rooms in such a prince's house.
Now the carrier hall has been damaged for most of the time, and it needs to be repaired before it can be inhabited, and the back of the hall and the heart hall are also very badly damaged.
In addition, rumors are prevalent, which makes people have to be cautious, and among them, there are all kinds of rumors about Yang Lin.
Some people rumored that Mrs. is an impostor, not Zhu Shuying, the county lord of Shu Wangfu, but a maid of the county lord.
When Daxi entered the city, the county lord Zhu Shuying had died, and the maid fled to northern Sichuan to be known to Yang Lin, who made him pretend to be the county lord and confuse everyone.
Some people rumored that in order to increase social prestige, they were originally going to let their staff pretend to be Yang Ting, the former cabinet chief assistant, and his great-grandson, but the former champion Yang Youren thought that he was a Miao descendant who was scattered abroad.
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and everyone was aggrieved for Yang Lin, and they fought for several months to recover the city, and made such a feat, they couldn't imagine being slandered by the villain.
The old King of Shu has been thrown into so far, and the prince has also been killed by Zhang Xianzhong, although the King of Shu still has a son but his whereabouts are unknown, as a guest of the King of Shu (son-in-law alias), when staying in the Mansion of the King of Shu.
Yang Lin politely declined, after all, the son-in-law is half a son but not equal to a son, so it must not be so.
The king of Shu has three sons, although the son was killed and the youngest son died early, but there is also a son who lives in the people, as long as he can find it, he can also inherit the title of the king of Shu.
said a thousand things and ten thousand, and finally agreed to pack up the two courtyards for the county lord to live in the future, and then move out after finding the younger brother.
The other county king's mansions did not have any psychological burden, Yang Lin led his troops to live in the Neijiang royal mansion, and the other county king's mansions and general's mansions were distributed to the homeless people to live in.
Rumors are still emerging, but the people who are assigned to live in the houses are still quite grateful to Yang Lin and the volunteers.
Just stayed in the provincial capital for a night, the next day Jinguan Yiyi Cheng came to report, the governor of Sichuan Ma Gan left overnight, claiming that he would meet the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Fan Yixuan, to cure Yang Lin's crime.
Holding the post, Yang Lin smiled and said nothing, at this time Wang Rimeng, the governor of Hanzhou, reported that after the withdrawal of the volunteers, 20,000 people from the Sima cadres of the Sichuan Governor were stationed in Hanzhou, and now they are plundering the Quartet, and the people are unbearable.
Yang Lin felt melancholy, so he invited Yang Zhan, the chief soldier, to tell him the truth, Yang Zhan said: "Ruzhen, it's also strange that you are young and vigorous, and you are sharp."
Ma Gan's military discipline was corrupt, and when he was in Neijiang, he plundered the army and caused harm to the locality, and this time because of Cheng Yi's rampage, probably to embarrass you. ”
Yang Lin shook his head and said, "Old general, I am waiting for the army not only for the sake of this official robe, but also for the peace of the people of Limin.
Ma Gan's army plundered, very hateful, if he acts recklessly, I will play the saint, meet the prince of the cabinet, the constitution of the Duke Fan, please eliminate the harm for the people of Sichuan. ”
Yang Zhan was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed the other party and said: "Ruzhen, don't be like this, such a fight between the two armies is probably not the blessing of the Shu people." ”
Yang Lin did not listen, and ordered the Xinzhan counties to set up township offices and train the township brave, but some people dared to expropriate and loot the township, and ask the crime for the crime.
As soon as the order was issued, the Longquanyi guard reported that the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Fan Yixuan, the deputy generals, Zeng Ying, Hou Tianxi, Tulong and others arrived at Longquanyi, and they would soon come to the city capital.
Looking at the book, Yang Lin handed it to Yang Jingxin next to him and said: "Young General, I waited for several months of hard fighting, and finally captured the city capital, and now the governor has led his troops to come, are you ready to wave the army north, eliminate all evil, and completely annihilate the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong?" ”
Yang Jingxin thought about it, shook his head and said: "I don't think so, although the Great Western Army fled to northern Sichuan, its main force is still there, and its strength still exists, and it is even more difficult to break it."
In addition, the plain of the city capital is now dilapidated, and the place is withered, and it is difficult for the place to supply the army and military supplies. ”
When the sun was in the west, there was a suona sound in front, and surrounded by hundreds of people, I saw two eight-person sedan chairs under the escort of the soldiers to the city capital.
Knowing that it was the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Fan Yixuan, arrived, Yang Lin had no choice but to come to the front of the sedan chair with Yang Jingxin, hugged his fists and said: "Yang Lin, the political envoy of Sichuan Zuobu and the deputy general of northern Sichuan, has seen the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and hopes that Lord Fan is in good health." ”
After the two official sedan chairs got off the sedan chair, Fan Yixuan walked out of the sedan chair, looked at Yang Lin who was bent over, and said, "You are Yang Lin Yang Ruzhen, the guest of honor of the Shu Palace?" ”
Yang Lin felt strange that the other party was not qualified for an official position but said such an identity, but he still hugged his fists and said: "Yang Lin, the political envoy of Sichuan Zuobu and the deputy general of northern Sichuan, visited the governor and welcomed the governor into the city to preside over the overall situation. ”
Ma Gan flashed out from the side, glared at the other party and snorted coldly: "Oh, you Yang Lin is a scholar, and now you are the political secretary of Zuo Bu of my Ming Dynasty, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette?"
The three of you and I returned from the front line on the same day, and you entered the city without permission, closed your door, and did not let your own officials enter the city.
Yang Lin, the old man wants to ask you, is this capital city or not my Daming city? Are you such an unknown official or not my Ming official? ”
On that day, he invited the other party to enter the city but did not enter, and since then, the other party has been living in Jinguanyi, and Yang Lin has not bothered to send someone to invite.
I didn't expect the other party to use the question to play today and ask myself if it was not.
He arched his hand to the surrounding people and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Great Western Army has just fled, it has only been half a month since the recovery of the city capital, and the place is still not peaceful, and the people's lives are hanging by a thread, and they are miserable."
The governor likes to put on an official show, and along the way, he asked the officials for Cheng Yi and had to be willing to enter the city, what does this have to do with us.
The lord asked if the capital city was still the capital city of the Ming Dynasty, and the lower official could answer you now.
The city capital is of course the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but it is not the capital of corrupt officials, let alone the city capital of openly asking for bribes and arsonists to plunder the generals.
In a word, those who are honest and love the people are invited to enter, and those who are corrupt and ask for bribes are to get out.
Your Excellency the Governor, you are also a hero in Sichuan, what can you say? ”
Unexpectedly, the other party revealed his scars in public, and Ma Gan didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, looked at the other party standing below and only bowed, and asked, "Lord Yang, you didn't lie to the old man, did you?" ”
Yang Lin smiled, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat: "My lord is clear, the people who are worried about his humble duties are precisely my Ming troops, and some generals openly encourage the abduction of the people, for the sake of the township, for the sake of the people of the city, dare not guard against it." ”
Ma Gan's face was pale, and due to the lack of food in his subordinates, his subordinate generals often plundered the township, which was criticized by the local squires.
At the beginning of this year, Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces of Ba County (Chongqing attached to Guo), had written a letter of impeachment, although the imperial decree has not yet come down, but his ministry has been despised by the Sichuan people.
Ma Qian trembled with anger and said: "Yang Lin, you are spewing blood, although the military discipline of our department is not the strictest among the various departments of the Sichuan Army, but to say that it is to rob the people, it is slander."
Yang Lin, when the governor was in Chongqing, did he receive complaints from the people, saying that you are a squire of fish and meat, how can this be explained? ”
Yang Lin laughed and said to everyone: "Governor Ma is really funny when he speaks, when Hai Rui was the governor of Yingtian, didn't he also be slandered by Dai Fengxiang as "sheltering the people, fish and meat squires, and selling his name and disorderly government" when Hai Rui was the governor of Yingtian?
I, Yang Lin, am not talented, I don't know which way to offend the immortals, he actually ran to Governor Ma and said that I am a fish and meat squire?
Governor Fan, Governor Ma, since I Yang Lin came out, I am famous for the benefit of the people, and I am still in the countryside that day, and Li Yitian, the governor of the state, added a showdown, and the lower officials did not go to the government office to expose it, although they were in prison after eating the lawsuit, they were also fearless.
The extermination of the local tyrant became a magistrate in Xia because of his merits, and he was also famous for benefiting the people, although he was slandered by his colleagues and squatted in prison, and was beaten by the dog official, the lower official was also quite proud.
Governor Fan and Governor Ma, if they want to deal with the crime of the inferior gentry and the people, the lower officials will admit it on the spot and will never regret it.
The fertile fields under the jurisdiction of our Volunteer Army are given 6 buckets of rice per mu, 6 buckets of wheat per mu of dry land, and 1 coin and 2 cents of silver.
If it is said that I deprive the scoundrels of the right to collect commercial taxes, and send inspection departments to various localities to organize and train militia groups and collect commercial taxes, if so, I will admit it.
Governor Fan, Lord Ma, if you want to press the charge of being an official and a bad gentleman because of this, I, Yang Lin, will be convinced, and I will continue to do so, and I will also play the emperor and ask the imperial court to promote it throughout the country.
Fan Yixuan smiled, patted Ma Gan's shoulder and said, "Governor Ma, the political envoys are young and promising, although their actions are unreasonable, we don't want to be like them." ”
Yang Lin's face changed several times, but he finally couldn't help but speak.
