Chapter 399: This person's cunning has not been seen in three hundred years
"The handsome man has made great contributions repeatedly, but the court is so stingy!"
"In this world, those who can defeat the thieves one after another are our loyal martyrs in Shandong, but the emperor Lao'er still refuses to let go, first send close eunuchs to restrain him, and then set up a brocade guard to supervise it, this kind of practice is really chilling!"
In fact, these military council officials did not make any deliberate agitation actions, as long as Wang Zheng's various encounters in recent years were truthfully told to the various military camps, the soldiers and generals below were naturally not fools, and they could understand this simple and understandable truth.
Originally, the various units under the Shandong Army had civilian officials who were specially responsible for lobbying, and they shared their work with these military council secretaries who were sent later, and preached some words in the barracks all day long.
Whenever it was time to eat, in addition to the auxiliaries who were in charge of putting the meal, there were some officials around who kept asking questions, and these words were the same, but everyone knew how to answer.
"Whose meal are we eating?"
The soldiers often replied loudly in unison: "Eat the meal of the loyal uncle!" ”
"Who are we going to draw our swords for?"
The soldiers shouted in unison: "Fight for the sword of the loyal martyr!" ”
In the past, although Wang Zheng had also thought about this kind of thing, it was often developed in secret, and it was just a matter of letting the soldiers know, but it seems that since he knew Emperor Chongzhen's secret decree, Wang Zheng's attitude towards the court has changed, and the means are naturally tougher.
In this situation, the soldiers have to shout a few words before every meal, and Wang Zheng's name has long been imprinted in their hearts.
In addition, before each exercise, the generals also have to ask who gave them what you are carrying, what you are wearing, and what your family eats.
There are also breaks between daily exercises, and the generals stationed in various places will first say a few words, similar to the loyal martyrs who sympathize with everyone's hard work and let them practice after resting.
Chongzhen's divine assistance really made the generals of the Shandong army cold to this court, and clearly realized who gave everything in their hands now, whether the food and clothing parents were the current emperor or the loyal and martyred princes.
However, not long after this kind of thing began, a trace of tension and unrest appeared in Shandong, which has always been stable.
Having said that, this unusual atmosphere is not caused by a thief, but actually Wang Zheng himself.
Wang Zheng has controlled the six mansions of Shandong for so many years, and he has long known the little Jiujiu in the hearts of those civil officials, but he has never wanted to do it, and this policy of clearly wanting to fight against the imperial court came out, and those loyal people who boasted of the Zhu family in the world, and the civil officials of the imperial court who had always been in defiance of the Shandong army, after all, some people couldn't bear it and jumped out.
As for the imperial generals in various places, they have long become empty shells, and there are at most a few families left under their hands, except for those who have been attached to the Shandong Army, and the rest of them live a worry-free life of food and clothing, but they will not think so much.
The literati are different, after jumping out this time, they not only impeached Wang Zheng in the song, calling him arrogant, self-serving, and ill-intentioned, but also scolded him in the local area, saying that this person is cunning, which has not been seen in the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years.
Since the beginning of Dengzhou, Zhongliebo and Zuodu Governor Wang Zheng have always been cautious and cautious, paying attention to every step of the way, and even if they are angry, they are also measured, and they will never kill innocents indiscriminately.
But this time the situation was different, Wang Zheng was obviously angry, although he didn't say much at the military meeting that day, but the senior civil and military officials of the Shandong Army followed Wang Zheng all the way to this position, how could they not even see this clue.
The impeachment folds of those officials, naturally, were all intercepted by the Military Affairs Department, and two large boxes were piled up, which were placed in front of Wang Zhengjun's case at the moment.
Feeling the unprecedented murderous aura above the lobby, the officials and generals of the Military Council Department below all closed their lips tightly and lowered their heads, neither daring to say another word nor make any moves.
In the end, Wang Zheng didn't say much, the military order was very simple, just one sentence:
"Shandong is not quiet, and it is the fault of the commander to accidentally find that the officials are fornicating with the slaves, but fortunately it is not too late, for the peace of our army and the people, I would rather kill many people by mistake than let go of a thief."
Since Uncle Zhonglie was furious and his meaning was clearly stated, the people below naturally kept conveying this military order to various places.
The various sub-offices of the Military Discussion Department, the Security Department, and even the Espionage Department, which has always been mysterious, are all in action, as well as the Jining Commercial Bank headed by Yongchang, the Shandong Salt Gang and the Salt Bank headed by Fan Ruohai, and the shipping companies from all over the country are all acting together.
Speaking of which, Fan Ruohai was originally just a small salt seller in Wendeng, the capital of Dengzhou, but with Wang Zheng's vigorous support and help, he has become the largest salt gang leader in the whole of Shandong, with a lot of money and prestige on the salt road.
But even if it has reached such a point, as long as the king fights for his son, he is still submissive.
Tracing back to the source, the longer Fan Ruohai fought with Wang, the more he couldn't see through this person, and the more he was in awe, of course, he knew who he relied on to get to where he is today.
Hearing the news of Wang Zheng's anger, and looking at the murderous military order, Fan Ruohai didn't say anything, even if he asked the strongholds of the salt gang and salt shops in various places to fully cooperate with the investigation.
Fan Ruohai's salt gang is in the dark, and in the bright place, there is the leader of the Yongchang Hao Dongjia in Jining City, and he is naturally well aware of the situation in various places, coupled with the investigation and secret agents of the Shandong Military Espionage Department, he quickly locked up a group of impeached civilian officials, and made a list to hand over to Wang Zheng's military case.
Although Wang Zheng was angry, he would not be stupid because of this, the soldiers and horses of the Shandong army were all registered in the imperial court, and they could not be used, otherwise they would fall into the handle, and this kind of dirty matter would have to be dealt with by the killers of the Espionage Department and the Yan Ding of the Security Department.
If a person wants to become a famous Shandong soldier, he must first pass the most basic examination and become an armed soldier of the local security department.
After a period of training, he became an elite descendant of Yanding after the audition, and finally was stationed in a local area under the recommendation of the leader of Yanding, and was registered as a regular soldier, and only then did he really enter the army.
The rest is to select the elite of the elite among the regular soldiers in various places, and they form the Shandong Army soldiers with strong combat effectiveness, all kinds of weapons, armor and treatment are the top, directly under the loyal martyrs Wang Zheng.
In the current situation, the local salt roads are controlled by Fan Ruohai's Shandong Salt Gang, in other words, they are firmly held by the Shandong army, and no one can interfere in salt matters at all.
The so-called ambassador of salt transportation in the imperial court has long been an ornament, and the things reported are all handed over to them by the Shandong army, and their status is not as good as that of a big leader of the Salt Department of the Security Department.
In the current Liufu Realm of Shandong, the civil affairs officials in charge of the Zhixian Yamen and the Zhizhou Yamen have long been replaced by the officials of the Military Parliament Department, and what is lacking is the name of the official, and in terms of public security, the armed salt and village guards of the Security Department are in charge.
Although it is no longer the time for Wang Zheng to first walk out of Denglai, there are no thieves left in the place, and there is no opportunity for actual combat training in the armed salt ding, and the equipment is also a jacket and waist knife, but it is completely enough to deal with local riots.
Due to the large and wide distribution of local salts, Wang Zheng also racked his brains in order to balance the budget, and in general, five squads, that is, fifty salters, were stationed in small local counties.
The larger county towns and prefecture towns have established a salt suppression sub-bureau of the Security Division, which is in charge of a descendant salt leader, stationed 50 descendant salt soldiers, and an armed salt ding with the size of a sentry to command various salt ding squads in the surrounding area.
The main roads and prefectures are the most important, and they are often scattered and checked at various gates.
Generally speaking, there will be at least one sentry-scale descendant salt ding stationed, and there are more than 400 armed salt dings in the surrounding area, and 200 less ones.
However, this amount is often fluctuating, and is the responsibility of the captain of the salt Ding brigade, a descendant of the salt control bureau loyal to Wang Zheng.
