Chapter 56: Layout (Part II)
The lawsuit of the chief of Ningguzhai was uprooted by Chen Wen, and relying on such a cruel method, Chen Wen showed his attitude to other Tusi in Guizhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The strength of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Chen Wen is a world-famous general, and the generals under his command are also generals who have been fighting for many years, and the existence of this army in Guizhou, especially the attitude towards Guizhou Tusi, really makes the Tusi all over Guizhou feel extremely uneasy.
However, the fate of the lawsuit of the chief of Ningguzhai was there, and the agreement between Chen Wen and Li Dingguo They also learned from various channels that Chen Wen was a passer-by in Guizhou, in this case, they did not dare to act rashly for a while, lest it would cause Chen Wen's dissatisfaction, and become the rafters who came out, and Chen Wen cleaned them up before leaving.
However, with such a devil on the side, the toasts are also restless, in addition to strictly restraining their own local people, the tandem of the four is inevitable - in case Chen Wen wants to change the land in Guizhou and return to the stream, they are also very willing to show their loyalty to the Yongli court or the Qing Dynasty.
Guizhou military households helped the old and young to migrate to Huguang, and the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming armies escorted a large number of Qin Wangfu's goods and grain, cloth and other raw materials in the warehouse to Huguang.
Sun Kewang's reversal trial is not only a big counterattack to Sun Kewang's actions over the years, but also a good opportunity to avenge the ministers who were killed by Sun Kewang, and it is also a good opportunity for the imperial court to restore some power.
Since Chen Wen and Li Dingguo reached an agreement, Li Dingguo sent a letter to the imperial court, and the latter sent their most capable trial team to Pingyiwei to participate in the trial as quickly as possible, and they even arrived some time earlier than Sun Kewang was escorted here by the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang.
The case of Sun Kewang's rebellion, starting from the matter of sealing Qin, can be regarded as forcing the imperial court to recognize the title of King of Qin, and it also involves the murder of Yang Weizhi and other officials. In addition, the house arrest of the Son of Heaven, the plot against Li Dingguo, the creation of auspicious rui to seek a legal basis for his Zen, etc., especially the prison of Mr. Eighteen is the highlight, this case according to the normal progress, less than a year and a half will not be able to get an eyebrow.
However, now Chen Wen's army is still in Guizhou, and when he left Kunming, Yongli ordered that the case should be closed as soon as possible, so that Chen Wen could be satisfied, so that he could leave Guizhou as soon as possible, and they had to work overtime to conduct interrogations, and they did not dare to delay even a moment, who made Guizhou and Yunnan so close.
There was no way to spend a year and a half tossing and tossing these Qin kings and Qin Wangfu's cronies who had ridden on the heads of their courtiers before, and the officials involved in the interrogation had to reluctantly start a fatigue interrogation.
"Prisoner Fan Yingxu, this official asks you, in the fourth year of Yongli, the Son of Heaven moved to Anlong, a member of Emperor Rushu, a few concubines, and a number of monthly silver and rice crimes, can there be such a thing?"
"Offending the official Yu Xuan, this official asks you, during the period from the fourth year of Yongli to the eleventh year of Yongli, you have persuaded Yu Sun to be able to hope for several times, but is there such a thing?"
"Prisoner Zou Binghao, this official asks you, in the eighth year of Yongli, Qian Bang, the former governor of Guizhou, was instructed by Guiyang Daxing Temple?"
“……”
The interrogation of Pingyiwei was in full swing, and Li Dingguo also received a report from Guizhou, Chen Wen in Guizhou vigorously encouraged the military households to go to Huguang, and loaded all the warehouses in Qinwangfu and Guizhou to the east, and even destroyed the Tusi forces of the Ninggu Zhai chief lawsuit.
"King Yue did this, offended the toasts, it seems that he really doesn't want this Guizhou, which is a good thing for the imperial court."
"I'm afraid that this Monkey King will not only move away from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, but also kill all the fish and shrimp in the East China Sea, and we will all have to starve to death at that time."
Bai Wenxuan participated in the battle of Yuanzhou, and he couldn't wait for Chen Wen to leave Guizhou immediately, so that his heart could settle down. As far as Li Dingguo is concerned, after Chen Wen leaves, they still have to operate in Guizhou, and if Chen Wen is allowed to move away from the general's household and warehousing, then the next financial situation will also be a big problem.
"Tell Leng Shilang that the interrogation must be accelerated, and we don't have much time to spend with King Yue."
Leng Mengqi, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, is the official in charge of the trial of Sun Kewang's case, and this huge case is the trial of the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple, he is the responsible official of the Criminal Department, and he is also the chief judge of Yongli. Li Dingguo remembered the agreement with Chen Wen, after Sun Kewang's death, his Qinwang was sure that he would withdraw from Guizhou, and now that Chen Wen was looting warehouses and military households in Guizhou, he had to ask the trial officials to speed up the progress, settle the case as soon as possible, and kill Sun Kewang to send Chen Wen away.
"No, King Jin was fooled, this thing is not like this at all."
When the news came, Li Dingguo was a little anxious, but when the news was sent to Kunming, Yongli only read Li Dingguo's report on speeding up the progress and immediately realized that it was not the right way.
"I used to patronize and tell Leng Shilang not to implicate those generals who led the troops, but now it seems that I still think less. Quickly send someone to level the guard, tell the King of Jin, tell Leng Shilang to them, don't worry about anything else, first convict Sun Kewang and execute him in front of King Yue, and the others can be tried slowly later. ”
Sun Kewang's generals still have a large number of troops in their hands, such as Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli, Ma Jinzhong, Ma Weixing, Wang Ziqi, He Jiuyi, none of these army leaders have tens of thousands of troops in their hands, and they are not easy to mess with. Even if Ma Jinzhong and Ma Weixing have been captured by Chen Wen in Yuanzhou, they can't be ignored, because Chen Wen didn't hand over these two horses to Li Dingguo, who knows if they will turn over.
It has been a long time since the Yongli Imperial Court did not dare to move the army, and with such strength, it was also helpless. Since it is the principle not to be implicated, Yongli originally thought that Chen Wen was planning to determine the merits of King Qin in order to further enhance his prestige among the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming military groups and the southeastern gentry. This is actually what Yongli is willing to see, after all, King Qin is linked to Zhongjun, Chen Wen's power is getting bigger and bigger, such a huge Yue Wangfu and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies, the threat to the imperial power is too great, and after the Taiping, it is also necessary to cut the domain, otherwise the throne will be unstable, and now Chen Wen is on the top of the name of a loyal minister, and he was originally cocooned and self-bound, who knows that there is such a hand behind it.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the king of Yue raised troops for no reason and killed the officials of the chief of Ninggu Zhai without permission, and the court should issue an order to reprimand him as soon as possible."
Wen'an Hou Ma Jixiang, this important minister from Jinyi Wei is now in the cabinet with the support of Li Dingguo, Yongli hates him very much, but it inevitably touches Li Dingguo's senses, and he has to pinch his nose to watch this person jump up and down every day.
At this moment, Ma Jixiang made a generous statement in the main hall, although Yongli hated him, but he also had to admit that what Ma Jixiang said was the most correct decision now - it was a reprimand, not a condemnation, no matter whether Chen Wen accepted it or not, the court expressed its position, and Tusi would have a dependence on the court. It would have been great if Chen had made some compromises on other fronts for this purpose.
"What Ma Aiqing said is very true, but King Yue is thousands of miles away, his loyalty is commendable, and he still needs to be tactful in his choice of words and sentences, and it is a big deal not to hurt the hearts of the vassals."
"Minister, obey the order."
What is tactful, don't make Chen Wen angry if you make it clear, it won't be beautiful if you change from King Qin to Qingjun. Ma Jixiang understands this truth, and there is nothing other courtiers don't understand, but no matter how you say it, the court is so compromised, and it is indeed helpless.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yue mentioned in the previous report that the Yue Domain had recovered the entire territory of Huguang. This is a gratifying and congratulatory event, and it is the result of Emperor Taizu Gao's protection of His Majesty. ”
Previously, the southern part of Huguang was in the hands of Sun Kewang, and now Sun Kewang is a dead tiger, and the northern part of Huguang is under the control of Fan Wencheng, and Fan Wencheng is locked up in the prison of Wuhan Mansion.
When the document was delivered to Kunming, the courtiers had already congratulated them once. But at this moment, Ma Jixiang came again, not only had nothing to do with the things discussed earlier, but also did not even change the wording, which really puzzled the courtiers.
"In this case, the minister thinks that the imperial court should discuss with His Royal Highness the King of Yue as soon as possible about the return of the king of Huguang Domain."
As soon as Ma Jixiang said this, the courtiers immediately understood this intention. Use the vassal king's return to the fiefdom to play with Chen Wen and force him to make concessions. And Ma Jixiang only pointed out that Huguang Province did not mention that Chen Wenshangshu was left in Jiangxi by Sun Kewang, and his intention was even more far-reaching.
In the Ming Dynasty, in Huguang Province, the King of Chu, the King of Liao, the King of Min, the King of Xiang, the King of Jing, the King of Ji, the King of Rong and the King of Gui from Yongli were successively divided, and there were as many as eight vassal kings. Moreover, this is still without counting the vassal kings such as the King of Gu, the King of Xiang, the King of Tan, and the King of Ying, who had been removed before the death of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to the Yongli of the Gui Domain, who has inherited the throne, and then put aside those who are missing, now the Chu Domain's Chu grandson Zhu Shengzhi, Dong'an King Zhu Shenglang, Jiangxia King Zhu Yunxuan, Liao Domain's Ningjing King Zhu Shugui, Badong King Zhu Zunjiang, Songzi King Zhu Yanjun, Glossy King Zhu Yantie, Min King Zhu Yongyun of Min Domain, and Ji King Zhu Cixuan of Ji Domain and Gucheng King Zhu You? are still alive, either in Kunming, or in Zheng Chenggong, and the king of Dong'an is in the army of Hao Yongzhong, the Duke of Yiguo, who is in the Ming army of Kuidong, and is in Fang County in the north of Huguang at this moment.
With so many vassal kings, let them return to their fiefdoms, and with what Chen Wen did in Jiangxi, the income of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang will drop significantly.
In this regard, there is no need to think about it, and I know that Chen Wen will never agree to open this opening. But unlike Chen Wen before, now it is the imperial court that makes a move, even if Chen Wen is dissatisfied, as a courtier, he can only accept the call.
It is impossible to play a game between a small court and a large feudal town without paying some price, but if it can be exchanged for something substantial or nominal, it will also be of great benefit to restore the authority of the imperial court. Therefore, if Chen Wen is forced to make even the slightest compromise to the imperial court, it will also be a victory for the imperial court.
As soon as Ma Jixiang said this, he was immediately affirmed by all the courtiers, and even Yongli nodded frequently after thinking for a while, and his impression of this person also changed slightly - regardless of his character, at least he is a courtier who can do things and can do things, and now he needs such courtiers.
With the initial intention, the plan began to plan as quickly as possible, especially on the side of the king of Dong'an, and it was better to pull the Kui Dongming army into the water and make the matter completely bigger.
However, there is a sequence of things, reprimanding Chen Wen for killing Tusi and executing Sun Kewang as soon as possible, these two things are the first thing to solve, and with these, the next things can be done.
The decree was sent to Pingyiwei and Guiyang, and Li Dingguo and the officials in charge of the trial immediately changed their strategy and focused on Sun Kewang, so that Sun Kewang could be executed as soon as possible, and Chen Wen was asked to leave Guizhou. When the reprimand arrived in Guiyang, Chen Wen directly threw it aside, without even a word of justification, and continued to toss about the work of hollowing out Guizhou.
However, because the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang had representatives to supervise the trial of Sun Kewang's case, Chen Wen soon received news of the Yongli court's change of strategy.
This did not surprise him, he had only planned to delay for a while, but now that it was delayed, just a little less than expected, then some other things could be carried out earlier.
"Eguogong, say goodbye, have a safe journey."
"The last general has thanked His Royal Highness King Yue for his kindness, and in this life, I will never dare to be an enemy of His Royal Highness King Yue again."
"The public words of the country are heavy."
Hollowing out Guizhou, this is a big project, after receiving the news of Sun Kewang's case, Chen Wen quickly distributed the tens of thousands of captured prisoners to a series of captured generals including Ma Jinzhong and Ma Weixing according to their ranks, and after giving them a batch of weapons and baggage with Sun Kewang's indignation, he also sent them out of Guiyang, a land of right and wrong.
These troops, according to Chen Wen's instructions, will go to the Zunyi Military and Civil Mansion and the areas around Chishuiwei and Bijiewei, so that they can not only avoid bordering the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, but also ensure that they will not become the target of Li Dingguo's efforts when he organizes Guizhou. There is no way, they were originally Sun Kewang's generals, and they once followed Sun Kewang to commit internal crimes, and they still had a chance to defect in history, but now they are not only related to Sun Kewang, but also have a close relationship with Chen Wen, and the danger factor to the Yongli Imperial Court has risen sharply, and they have to find a way to retreat first.
These troops retreated to the junction of Guizhou and Sichuan, which was beyond the reach of Guizhou, where most of the province was a no-man's land, and he was also a real emperor of the soil. As for the Tusi in the vicinity of these two places, especially the Shuixian family, Chen Wen was not interested in caring whether they died or not.
After sending off these captives, the burden was greatly reduced, and more manpower and material resources were devoted to the work of hollowing out Guizhou. After Ma Jinzhong's send-off, Chen Wen returned to Xingyuan and continued to process the documents. The acres of Qingzhang fields in the south of Huguang, Sun Kewang had already done it before, Chen Wen picked up a big bargain, all he needed was a review, but the area bordering the Ming Army in Kuidong in the north was quite dirty and needed him to go back and deal with it.
"Wait, Sun Kewang is dying, and when this guy is executed, I should go back to Huguang."
After reading the documents for a long time, Chen Wen straightened up and stretched his waist, even though he was much more comfortable. Tired, at this time I want to find someone to massage a few times, but the first thing that comes to mind is that Zhou Yueying is still raising a baby in the Yue Wangfu in Nanjing, and it is said that she likes to eat sour recently, and Lang Zhong who has seen it said that there is a great possibility of having a man.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Wen's mouth, and he gradually immersed himself in happiness. But at this moment, a guy dressed as a housekeeper was led in by his own soldiers and sent a letter to Chen Wen on behalf of his head of the house.
"It seems that the court is a little impatient with me."
