Chapter 171: Rumors Rise Eunuch Party!?
The eunuch who delivered the decree was very familiar, and it was actually the same one who came to deliver the secret letter last time, obviously he had come once and tasted the sweetness, and this time he was actually rushing to come.
It is also said that although there is good news in that place in Dengzhou Mansion, due to Wang Zheng's governance, it can be regarded as having its own atmosphere now, but at present, the impression of the magnates in Jingshi is still a poor and dilapidated low earth city.
These eunuchs and eunuchs are very popular, and there are more ways to get money in the capital, so why bother to come to the coastal area of Shandong, where the mountains are high and the roads are far away, to beg for hardship.
After the little eunuch spoke up, no one competed with him, so he happily took over this unpromising job.
As he wished, this time Wang Zheng gave him more than the usual eunuch, and gave him 1,600 taels of silver, and the little eunuch left Ninghai happily, and when he left, he whispered that he would fight for the king in front of his godfather after he returned.
The godfather of this little eunuch is naturally Wang Chengen, the eunuch of Beizhili, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, Wang Zheng is also very happy to hear it, and he can have a good relationship with Wang Chengen, so naturally everything is clear.
After Wang Zheng received the official uniform and the letter, everyone was very happy, this time it was really going to be a shotgun.
The current Wang Zheng is the deputy general soldier of Penglai, and he has the title of the Prepared Japanese Capital Division on his head, which is really a combination of two powers, and the entire Dengzhou Mansion can act cheaply, and the power of military preparation is in front of you, just see if you have the ability to take it.
However, this time, whether it was the prefect Sun Hualong or the governor of Denglai, Yang Wenyue, no one came to check the soldiers and horses according to the procedures, but only issued a year's salary according to the rules.
Although Sun Hualong, the governor of Dengzhou Prefecture, received Wang Zheng's favor and was not embarrassed to withhold it, and Governor Yang Wenyue did not have the problem of deducting silver, there was still not much left.
The two prefectures and the officials along the way still had to withhold and exploit at various levels, and after they reached Wang Zheng's hand, there were only a few thousand taels left, and these were not even the amount of silver taels that flowed through Wang Zheng's hand in the first day.
The right is better than nothing, and Wang Zheng is not worried about the salary at all.
In fact, after Juntian was exempted, the soldiers of the Wendeng battalion had a significantly lower demand for silver, and there was a lot of discussion about the matter of dividing the land and cattle for their families.
This is not the first day, considering this aspect, Wang Zheng is already thinking of using the field to replace the regular soldier's salary, which can reduce a large amount of military spending.
Now Wang Zheng's subordinates, whether they are the regular soldiers of the Wendeng battalion or Yanding, they are all regarded as the soldiers of the deputy chief military officer guarding the Dengzhou Mansion, and the Wendeng battalion is naturally upgraded to a level and becomes part of the entire Dengzhou battalion in terms of structure.
While Wang Zheng was thinking about it, he asked Li Yan to send someone to spread the news that the regular soldiers were replacing their salaries with fields.
This news did not come from the house, it was just untrustworthy gossip, but after a few months, it had been spreading in Dengzhou Mansion, and it was obvious that everyone was still very supportive of the news, and even the weekday training was full of enthusiasm.
Having said that, this time Wang Zheng's promotion seems to be calm, but the turbulence inside is known only to him.
If Wang Chengen hadn't been in Beijing to help make a mistake, Wang Zheng would have had that self-knowledge, and he would never have the good situation of combining the power of the capital and the power of the army.
Although Wang Zheng has never been to Jingshi, he can also see from this incident that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who seems to be peaceful, how muddy the water is, the fish and dragons are very mixed, and the open and secret battles between various factions and parties will never end.
Even Emperor Chongzhen's most trusted Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun and other great eunuchs must be cautious and cautious in doing things, and they must avoid suspicion, and make an attitude of not forming a party and not caring about political affairs.
Wang Chengen did things without leakage, and he didn't have a handle to be caught by outsiders at all, and when outsiders were there, he never mentioned the name Wang Zheng, and the relationship between the two was unclear.
But there was also faint news that it was a grand duke of the Northern Zhili Si Rite Supervisor who was fighting for the king for the real shortage of a deputy general soldier of Denglai.
At the moment, gossip flew into Wang Zheng's ears like pieces of paper, and there were all kinds of unpleasant things, and the most important one was the self-proclaimed genius Song Zhengyu in the clouds.
When he heard the news, he was a prostitute in a Qinglou in Nanjing, and he forgot that he was a prostitute, and immediately laughed and improvised a poem in the Qinglou brothel.
Song Zhengyu also said that Wang Zheng and the eunuch are both surnamed Wang, maybe like Liu Zeqing, they recognized him as a godfather, as for who the eunuch was, Song Zhengyu still kept an eye on it, and did not say it explicitly, obviously he was also jealous.
Not long after, rumors that Wang Zhengnai was a new eunuch, a treacherous villain, and a eunuch who recognized him as a father spread all over Shandong and other places.
"General, the rumors have spread to Dengzhou Mansion, and many people are talking about it...."
A Wendeng camp scout didn't even dare to look at Wang Zheng's eyes when he reported it, he naturally knew that Wang Zheng was wronged, and he was afraid that Wang Zheng would be furious.
Wang Zheng was surprisingly calm, only to hear him ask lightly: "What are you talking about?" ”
"Talking, talking about the general is a eunuch, admitting... This is only the only one who recognized Wang Chengen as his godfather...."Speaking of this, the scout was already kneeling down in panic and holding his fists:
"General, do you want to bring that demagoguery with your humble duties, the brothers all say, this kind of scum, the corpse can be relieved!"
Wang Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go and call Mr. Guan and Li Gongzi, Huang Qianzong and them will come over, there is no need to arrest them, you caught one, can you still catch one?" ”
The scout's face rose a trace of helplessness, hugged his fists and retreated, and after going out, he felt unfair for Wang Zheng, and the news reached the Wendeng camp and Yan Ding's ears, and no one believed it, and they all said that they wanted to catch the person who spread the rumors and cut the body into pieces.
Not long after, Li Yan, Guan Qingtian and others came to the main hall one after another, and as soon as they came in, they started to discuss.
They have naturally heard of the recent rumors, which started from Nanjing City, gradually spread to the whole of Shandong, and now they have actually arrived in Dengzhou Mansion.
"What I said is that the chaos in various places is several times more common now, and I want a solution."
Shao Yong nodded on the side, and since the rumors spread to Dengzhou Mansion, the number of thieves and thieves on weekdays has increased.
A few days before the punishment in Chishan Town, news came back that some lawbreakers tried to stir up trouble and cause trouble, and they were all arrested by him with Yanding.
After consulting Wang Zheng, Shao Yong immediately ordered the Inspection Department to send more personnel and increase the number of gates, and those lawbreakers are now detained in the inspection departments in various places to wait for their fate.
Li Yan pondered for a long time, and suddenly said:
"General, I'm afraid that this rumor is not groundless, saying that it is all done by a poem, then I will look up to him Song Zhengyu, look at it below, this rumor is easy to cure."
