Chapter 782: Subversion

Anyone who knows a little about the Ming system knows that the carriage of the Ming Dynasty is mainly composed of three parts, namely: the horse that pulls the carriage, the coachman who controls the horse, and the master who sits in the carriage and commands. 【】

The class that made up the horses was the largest and the structure was quite complex, and the households, military households, artisan households, merchants, etc., all belonged to this category, and they worked in the fields, and made it a habit to not be able to straighten their waists; fought bloody battles on the frontier, but was unknown; sweating like rain in the workshop, by the fire; Running between the cities, enduring the oppression of the officials...... The old men who command in the carriage are relatively pure, the scholars and the Son of Heaven rule the world together, and the people who govern the world naturally only need to sit in a safe and comfortable place to command Fang Xuan, and they belong to the existence of the god level. Occasionally poke his head out of the carriage, that is a great favor, enough to be recited for ancient and modern times, and can be upgraded to: Lord Qingtian.

The coachman, on the other hand, was the one who controlled the horse, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, his main composition was the officials in the yamen. However, soon, because the emperor wanted to assert the imperial power, the eunuchs replaced the officials and became the eyes and ears and minions of the emperor, bypassing the command of the scholars, directly going to the front line, and becoming the representatives of the imperial power.

In the process of moving forward, it is inevitable to encounter bumps. Generally speaking, in the event of an accident, the first unlucky person will always be the horse, but the person in command has plenty of time to escape, as for the driver, it is in between, whether you can get out or not, it all depends on the individual's ability.

Regardless of who has the upper hand or the boss, one thing is certain, and that is that in the Ming government, such structures are ubiquitous.

In the border towns, it is the governor and the governor who command the strategy, if there is a big war, the eunuchs will also come to intervene, when there are no eunuchs, the generals are the coachmen, and the ones who fight in the forefront are the military households. Elsewhere, the same can be said.

In the treasure fleet of that year, due to the great authority of Chengzu, the three treasure eunuchs were able to occupy the dominant position, but the scholars were not indifferent. In fact, they prefer to believe that the leading role is played by Wang Jinghong, Hou Xian and other deputy envoys, if there are no disciples of these saints, what kind of great country demeanor can a castration understand, the etiquette of the Celestial Empire? And in this way, to influence the nations?

Although he is only a child, Song Yinzhi is a scholar after all, and as Wang Shi approaches, he also feels that the pride of those who read in his bones is recovering. He remembered all the things of the Great Ming, so he was shocked by the words of the Governor.

He heard clearly, the other party's attitude towards the reader, not to mention respect, can be described as contempt. Moreover, combined with the words of the other party, Song Yin really couldn't find a few scholars on the ship, including the governor, these people were all dark and rough-skinned, and they looked like they had been exposed to the wind and sun all year round.

There is no civilian-led or even overwhelmed court sailor? It can't be fake, right? An unbelievable thought flashed in Song Yinzhi's heart. Immediately, he threw this idea aside, a fleet of this size, no one could organize it except the imperial court, and even if it was organized, it would be cleaned up by the imperial court.

But how can this be explained now? Song Yinzhi was puzzled.

If you look closely, the Governor and a few people around him are a little different from the others, their expressions and demeanors are not like naval pirates, but like those maritime merchants, yes, maritime merchants, these people are not murderous, but shrewd, completely businessmen.

"Song Zhuangshi?" Seeing Song Yinzhi in a daze, the governor was also surprised, he didn't expect a scholar to pop up in the pirate's den, and he was stunned because he didn't notice it at all.

After thinking about it, he turned his head to a military general beside him and smiled: "Speaking of which, I remember that General Liang is also from Shunde, Guangdong, so you are an old acquaintance, so you ......."

"Probably not, Lord Wang, you also know that the Liang family is a local family, this ...... Since he is overseas, there will definitely be no relatives, but ......" Liang Cheng stopped talking, and finally turned into a wry smile.

The Liang family has done a lot of things in the local style, grabbing people's acres of land, and forcing the whole family to death, if this person in front of him has something to do with the Liang family, he must only have a grudge, and it is a great enmity. It's just that there is a wrongdoer, and the debtor has the owner, this kind of thing has little to do with him, but there is no need to say more, he glanced in the direction of the cabin, shook his head, and sighed.

The governor did not care about the rudeness of the envoy, but said a few gossips, only as if the other party was nervous or frightened, which was an explanation, and he spoke in a leisurely manner. But his casual words fell on Song Yin's ears, but they were like thunder and lightning.

Shunde Liang family! The meaning of these four words was not forgotten by him for a moment. If it weren't for this family, how could he end up in such a field now? General Liang? General of the Naval Division? Could it be ...... He knew very well that the Guangdong Navy Division was in the hands of the Liang family, no different from his family's private soldiers, could the person in front of him be the chief soldier of the Navy Division?

Things are getting weirder and weirder, the person in charge is like a businessman, the chief soldier sits on the side, and then ...... Song Yinzhi followed Liang Cheng's gaze and glanced at it, and he was even more shocked and inexplicable, what he saw was the long shirt that he had missed for a long time, symbolizing the identity of the scholar, and the appearance of the person wearing it was no different from the scholar in his memory, but the expressions of these people were completely different from what he knew.

I don't know if it was seasickness or whatever, a group of people were pale and crumbling. Physical weakness is not the main problem, the key is that their spirit is also very poor, all of them are depressed, full of gloomy looks, as if they have been distributed, and they look like a group of angry little daughters-in-law.

Merchants and warriors sit in the middle, and the scholars nest aside? This meeting subverted Song Yinzhi's inherent concept and made him dazed, but fortunately, he was not a son of a family, just a poor boy, and he stayed overseas for more than ten years, and the shock he received was limited after all, but he quickly came back to his senses.

"Your Excellency the Governor, forgive me, ...... below"

Seeing that the other party frowned slightly, and looked a little impatient, Song Yinzhi hurriedly skipped the polite words of the accusation, and got to the point: "Liu Laoxiang is at both ends of the mouse, while thinking about bargaining with the imperial court, and on the other hand, he is ready to flee to the mainland of Luzon......

"Hmm." Without the expected overjoy, the Governor simply nodded noncommittally.

"There are dozens of tribes in northern Luzon, large and small, among which several tribes such as Binai are the largest, these tribes are very close to Liu Laoxiang, but the natives are cunning and timid, if they don't know how big the scale of the royal division is, they may be instigated by Liu Laoxiang, but if they know, they definitely dare not offend, even if it is repeated, it is a matter of later......"

After a pause, leaving the listener with room to think, he continued: "Therefore, I am willing to spread the news of the arrival of the king division and the majesty of the king division, and now, the treasure ship is still there, and the local natives are bound to look at the wind and leave, or escape or surrender, and then divide and disintegrate, and support the close forces, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Well, Mr. Song's understanding of this place is really profound, so it's good, the official Wang Hai, Meng Tianzi is wrongly loved, and Hou Ye is credited to serve as the governor of Luzon. Now that the Governor's Mansion is being established, you will first serve as a military counselor for a period of time, and then, depending on your merits, you can choose to join the army or serve in the Governor's Palace......"

Hearing this, Song Yinzhi was already overjoyed, so that he didn't hear Wang Hai's words too clearly, and after half a sound, he hesitated and asked: "Lord Wang means that you can get rid of this thief's sin in the future?" Then, if you want to return home......"

"Huh?" Wang Haiwei was stunned, the pirates in the fleet were all captured and incorporated in Lushun, and he didn't know the specific process, but he only knew that when they sent people over, these pirates were already no different from ordinary sailors, and they didn't have the ferocity of the past at all, and they were all honest.

However, one thing is very clear, among these people, few of them want to retire from the army and return to their hometowns, and basically they all have the idea of making meritorious contributions and returning to their hometowns in the future. These outlaws didn't care about the dangers of sailing, anyway, they were about the same as before, but they could use the banner of the official family, which made them very excited.

It is said that after an evaluation, it is determined that he will not be re-employed in the criminal department before he can go back. After going back, you have to register with the local yamen, and report to the local yamen every once in a while, which is almost like going to prison, where can these pirates who are used to freedom be impatient to get this?

Therefore, there are very few people who return to their hometowns, and Wang Hai doesn't even know what to do with the specific procedures, but he is also a person who is anxious and wise, waved his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "If Mr. Song is interested in this, when he brings it to Luzon to pacify, he can return to the Central Plains with the boat and return to his roots, hehe." Now, please ask Mr. Song to move with the army for the time being, Mr. Guo ......"

"Thank you, sir." The long-standing wish came true, and the joy in Song Yinzhi's heart did not need to be mentioned.

"Brother Song, please ...... here" When he was bowing and thanking him again and again, he saw a young man coming out of the crowd.

This person is still handsome, just from the appearance, he looks like a craftsman, and he bowed his hand, looking at the demeanor, but like a scholar, Song Yinzhi saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but be amazed, everything on this ship is so weird, it seems that over the years since leaving the Central Plains, Daming has changed a lot.

"Thank you......" turned around to leave, he remembered something again, so he turned around again, "Lord Wang, there are a lot of natives on the island, and they are very ignorant, if you ignore Liu Laoxiang, it may cause chaos." Although the king is strong, he ......"

Wang Haiyi waved his hand, and said with a smile that he didn't care: "There is Mr. Lao Song worried, it doesn't matter, it's nothing more than a question of killing chickens and monkeys, or killing monkeys and making an example of chickens, it doesn't matter what you kill, the key is the process of 'killing', and the result of 'setting an example', this official has his own success in his heart, don't worry, hehe." ”
