"Zhang Zhen, who ceremoniously launched the southeast civil and military, sent to Sanchao to suppress the bandits, and then sent away the governors and general soldiers of the provinces with the silver obtained by Tang Ruji. Shen Mo could finally temporarily withdraw his gaze from the area around Jiangxi and Guangdong, and instead focus on the silver mines on the border of Xizhi and Jiangxi, where the troublesome miners had already occupied all the mines. The mine supervisors and supervisors sent by the imperial court were all driven out of the mining area, where the people mobilized almost all the people to dig pits in the mountains. It's all in full swing. Shen Mo found that this was a trickier thing than the Three Nests Rebellion. Because the former was openly rebelling against the imperial court. There is nothing to say about extermination, and the latter cannot simply be reduced to rebellion: "They did not attack the prefectures, counties, villages and towns. There was no indiscriminate killing of innocents, but only the occupation of mines and the excavation of silver mines that theoretically belonged to the state.

His intuition told Shen Mo that he could not solve the problem of the silver mines by force alone, so he called the local officials in Quzhou and repeatedly asked them about the situation there, trying to find out where the root cause of the matter was. But the result disappointed him, and the local officials were either stumbling or unable to grasp the essentials, and they could not say anything about it.

Silence is not scary. Naïve people. He was well aware of the reasons why local officials had adopted such an attitude. It's because of the silver that is being stolen like crazy. There must be a share of theirs. According to Wang Bengu's words, it was this kind of "collusion between officials and bandits, a nest of snakes and rats" that led to the riots in the Quzhou silver mines.

Before we can't come up with anything too good. He can only reprimand these officials and ask them to restore order as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind", but this kind of intimidation is not painful. It is estimated that the left ear goes in directly and the right ear goes out, which will not play a role.

The silver mine was not on the right side, and the alarm of the cowards on the other side sounded frequently, although it turned out afterwards that it was only a small group of pirates who were in trouble, and even though they were extinguished. But Jiajing thirty-five years. The tragedy of dozens of cowards rushing to the city of Nanjing is still vivid. If such a thing happens again, it will be enough to humiliate him for the rest of his life, and how dare he take silence lightly. So every time there is a policeman, he pays close attention. Even in the middle of the night, they will sit and wait for the results, and only when the alarm is lifted can they fall asleep. But the military intelligence of the six southeastern provinces will be gathered in front of his desk, and the result is that the alarm is frequent, and Lord Shen loses sleep every night.

During the day, there were unclear people to be received, and one document after another to be approved, so that his nerves were always in a state of high tension, but he could not be negligent in the slightest. Because every order will change the fate of thousands of people and have an immeasurable impact on the political situation in the southeast.

Such a big pressure suddenly came up, making the silence that was used to being idle feel very painful.

Shen Mo fell into deep anxiety and irritability, which was his previous more than ten years of official career. Pain like never before. Even when Su Song was the governor, he never had such a big pressure. At this time, he especially missed Gui Youguang, Hai Rui, Wang Yongji and other capable subordinates, it was because of them that he could not be entangled in these daily affairs, and only need to concentrate on the general direction.

Although he is destined to be a transitional figure, no one knows whether this transition period will be one year or three years, so although there is no need to open a government office, it is indeed time to find a group of capable helpers.

Su Song's side. The king and the light cannot be moved. What is needed there is stability, and only a stable and relaxed environment can allow the budding industry and commerce to flourish. Therefore, the manpower of the nest cannot be transferred.

Fortunately, he has worked tirelessly to cultivate contacts. It has blossomed and borne fruit and is ready for use. It's time to pull them all out and go through the experience. Shen Mo set his sights on Beijing. wrote a letter to Xu Ge Lao to complain about his grievances, and asked him to transfer Tao Dalin, Sun Ling and others to the south to help. Help yourself to get back up.

But although the brothers are close, they are all high-grade court officials, and it is impossible for them to be in the Jingluo Mansion. Help him with daily tasks, so he still feels that something is missing.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Until one day, Ji Ben and Wang Ji came to see him, and saw that Shen Mo had no helpers around him except for the guards, and couldn't help but wonder: "Have you been busy with this mess by yourself?" ”

Silently and respectfully, he said, "The child is just trying to support it."

"Oh my God, Ji Ben and Wang Ji are sweating. Ji Ben said in disbelief: "You are now a dignified southeast meridian, but you still have to bow down in person, and no one will believe it when it is passed out, right?" Wang Ji was also surprised: "Ordinary ding, prefect." You have to have a few friends to help, you are the head of the military and political affairs of the southeast. How can there be no ten. Eight things. What about joining the army? The secretary office and joining the army used to be official names, referring to civilian officials in the military, equivalent to secretaries and staff officers.

The dynasty streamlined the bureaucratic system. There is no longer a secretary office for the imperial court and to join the army, but the senior officials are often ordered to undertake a certain military task, and it is not possible to do without a staff secretary, so they can only spend on a special expense, and specially hire a group of literati to join the scene. Handle day-to-day paperwork and make a decision. As his own think tank, in order to give a good title, he used the title of secretary and joined the army.

But wait until the mission is over. Or the commander will change people, and the shogunate will be dissolved, and these people will have nothing to do with the imperial court.

Shen Mo's distress lies here, now the southeast minister has changed, but Hu Zongxian's shogunate has remained, and the copywriting, money valley, and criminal name are complete, which is enough to support the operation of the Jingluo Mansion, but how can Shen Mo trust the people left by Jiang's predecessor. Mosquitoes' simple chores can be used to make them drive the four series, and they don't dare to hand over the important tasks to them

However, Shen Mo had already realized that he couldn't go on like this. He had to find someone who was considerate and available to help, and he remembered his hometown, which was the hometown of the famous master, and recalled it carefully. Among his former classmates, he chose a few loyal and reliable candidates who did not lose his cleverness, and he had ordered someone to investigate them secretly. It's just that they are all cloth clothes who have never been involved in politics. I guess it won't help much.

listened to the emotion of Wang Ji's two division commanders. Shen Mo suddenly thought that the two of them used to be government officials, and their officialdom must have a lot of old history, so he smiled and said: "The apprentice is worried about this matter, and the two masters want to help." "Wang Ji is Shen Lian's teacher, and Shen Mo should call them that. But now as the highest military and political chief in the southeast, he is still so respectful, which really makes the two and the white-bearded old man feel useful.

The two twisted their beards and smiled, and Ji Ben said, "You are young. Being able to dominate the six provinces is really the light of our leftists, and it also gives me hope of defeating the rightists. Wang Ji also smiled: "Yes, you don't have to worry about the selection of the shogunate. We'll find you the most loyal and reliable. A shrewd and capable staff. But

"But what?. Shen Moxin said that he hated these two words the most.

There is a way that thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find Wang Ji said: "It is easy to find a record room that can help you deal with daily affairs." But the wisdom that can help you plan together and strategize is hard to find. ”

Yes, Shen Mo nodded in agreement: "The disciple Sun also deeply feels that there is a lack of such a person around me who can solve my problems." Ji Ben suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, Wen Chang is a rare thinker, but he, hehe." Not very reliable

"Haha," Wang Ji also smiled: "Yes, an excellent staff member should be low-key, he is too flamboyant and said: "Actually, I have a group of very powerful scribes in Xijiang, all of them are the choice of the moment, but,"

Again, he smiled weakly in his heart.

However, they were all summoned by Hu Zongxian to Wang Ji and said: "Now they have gone into hiding." If you want to invite them out of the mountain again. It's really hard

"Yes, Ji Bendao: "Maolumen, Shen Juzhang, and Zheng Kaiyang are all knowledgeable and talented. And he is extremely familiar with the important tasks of military aircraft. Except for Mao Kun, who is now out, you can try to extend the other two.

"Shigong also said it." Shen Mo was happy at first, if he could get the help of these two, his grasp of the southeast would definitely be greatly increased, but after thinking about it, he smiled bitterly: "They are all in hiding, and they want to invite out of the mountain again." It's hard, I'm afraid, although to put it bluntly. The proprietor and the staff were only in an employment relationship, but those scribes who loved fame made it difficult for them to get out of the mountains and into the curtain. and accept, loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters. will generally not serve the second proprietor again, so as not to be laughed at.

Ji Ben also thought so, and the three of them were worried for a while. Suddenly, Wang Ji burst out laughing, haha, "Obviously realized something." I saw him snatch his palm and laugh: "This is really a humble word." Maybe someone else won't be able to invite these two. But you can

"Why did the master say this? Shen Mo asked.

"These two people have something to do with you." Wang Ji said like a few family treasures: "Let's talk about Shen Mingchen first, he is the youngest of Hu Zongxian's shogunate, he is about the same age as you, and he is also very talented, but he is not as good as you, he collided with Hu Zongxian, and went home in a bad mood." This should be the easiest one to convince, because his father Shen Wenzhen is a close friend of your uncle, and the two have recognized the same ancestry. You know what to do, right? ”

Shen Mo nodded and smiled: "The child understands." But what he longed for most was the author Zheng Kaiyang. Even if he looked at the thatched house three times, he wanted to invite this cross-era genius, so he asked softly: "What about the latter one?"

At this time, Ji Ben, who was pondering on the side, also grabbed his palm and said: "I remember, that Zheng Kaiyang once worshipped the Kunshan Confucian Wei School as a teacher, and there was a young one named Gui Youguang with his classmates." ”

"To the light?" Shen Mo was pleasantly surprised: "Is it the current prefect of Suzhou?" ”

"Isn't it him" Wang Ji nodded and smiled: "Both of them are Wei Zhuangqu's protégés, and later married his younger brother Wei Qi's two daughters, and became brothers-in-law again, and said with some embarrassment: "It is said that the two of them are famous, and they are both loyal and simple, so they should be on the top early." But for some reason, he failed in the field for many years, and in the end, there was only one person and one prisoner. Of course, the later encounters are also worlds apart, Gui Youguang became the richest prefect in the country, but he is still a staff member of the cloth, and he is helpless, you definitely have a chance! ”

The silence also felt incredible. Said: "Could it really be that there is divine help?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "You are a treasure given to us by God, a treasure, and the important task of the vast number of kings." It must have fallen on you

Silence really can't stand this kind of religious fanaticism old man. But whoever makes the family an elder, he can only say whatever they say.

The two also said that it was time for him to start lecturing gradually. Back then, Yang Minggong was on the side to suppress bandits. While lecturing, both hands were very hard, and as a result, he caught an unrivaled martial arts. He should follow Wang Yangming's example, and also begin to appear in the academy and literary society, preaching his unique views on Wang Xue."

Shen Mo hurriedly and modestly said that he was still very immature. He didn't dare to get an axe, but Wang Ji told him. Actually, it's not scary. If a person can penetrate the flowers and trees in the forest, and the unity of knowledge and action, he only needs to prepare beautiful and mysterious speeches, and then he can give a lecture on the stage, and in his capacity, he will be famous, as for whether there is content or not, it does not matter at all.

Shen Mo smiled and agreed. But I sighed in my heart. People say that the leftists are good at talking. Therefore, it seems that it is not a lie that the Jiangyou School, which is not as pragmatic as the Jiangyou School, is more acceptable to the senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee.

The three of them talked. It was already noon, and Shen Mo invited the two division commanders to have a luncheon, and the two were about to leave. Silence left them to stay a little longer. The two said they were going to Ningbo to attend the annual Slender West Lake Cultural Conference, and it was said that there would be several debates waiting for them. So I had to go early to recuperate.

Shen Mo smiled and wished the two of them a victory, and Wang Ji and Ji Ben also wished him good luck and assured him. will find a staff candidate for him as soon as possible, and will write letters to Zheng Ruozeng and Shen Mingchen to help Shen Mo agree.

Shen Mo thanked him again, and sent the two masters to the official ship dock, and saw them get on the boat, and was about to turn back, but saw Zhu Wu trotting over from a distance with a solemn face, and walked in before he had time to salute, so he said in a deep voice: "Nanjing has mutinied!" "Oh?" Although Shen Mo Zaojing is mentally prepared, knowing that there are so many provinces, there must be places where there is chaos. But he never wanted to be Nanjing, which was the capital of the empire and the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu, which directly involved the nerves of Beijing, and it was really chaotic.

Be mindful. Shen Mo asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?" ”

"It is said that because a part of the salary was suspended, the proud soldiers of the Zhenwu battalion will make trouble." Zhu Wudao: "Send troops to surround the Yamen of Nanjing's household department. ”

"Hey, these soldiers." Shen Mo clenched his fists and said, "It's really lawless." ”

"My lord, this matter must be handled properly." Zhu Wu knows the key point best. He whispered, "In case it gets big." You're going to be to blame. ”

"Don't make a big fuss." Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "Now I can be guilty of negligence." "I want to think that dozens of thieves rushed to the city of Nanjing. Although he didn't even touch the city wall, he still let the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu go to prison, and Hu Zongxian was also punished heavily, all because he disturbed the tomb of Emperor Taizu. That's a great sin.

"But if it gets bigger, it's not just a matter of asking for sin." Zhu Wudao: "We have to send troops quickly." Keep things down. ”

"It's easy to say." Shen Mo shook his head and said: "There are more than 100,000 troops around Nanjing City, and the Nanjing Household Department must not only treat Zhenwu Ying's family, right?" ”

"Probably not." Zhu Wudao: "The Zhenwu Battalion is a strong force with great achievements, even if it is eccentric, it should be oriented to them first."

"yes." Shen Mo sighed and said: "Since they all have grievances, then other battalions must be the same, but they don't dare to make trouble, but if we deal with it a little improperly." Maybe you'll be scared by the horses and mules. It's really out of control. I can't stand this head. In fact, there is another concern about silence, that is, the unique status of Nanjing, where there are more than a dozen second-grade masters, and there are countless third-grade ones, so even when Hu Zongxian is there. I have never asked about Nanjing.

Now that the situation has not been clarified, Nanjing has not asked for help from itself, so it is really not good to intervene rashly.

But he didn't dare to take it lightly. Qi Jiguang ordered Qi Jiguang to gather 4,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters and 6,000 garrisons in Hangzhou. Always ready to go.

It turned out to be in the evening. Nanjing came to ask for help, and brought a more detailed situation, the military camp had broken through the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, and did not catch Ma Kun, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, but captured and killed the squire of the Ministry of Households, Huang Weiguan, and hung his body on the archway, "Of course, this was two days ago.

The officials in Nanjing asked Shen Jingluo to cut his hair and put down the rebellion, "looking forward to the heavenly soldiers." Although I didn't see the official text of Zhang Dian of the Nanjing Military Department, I couldn't care about it so much. Immediately ordered the troops to set off overnight. He led his troops to Nanjing.

In the darkness of the night. Shen Mo's face was full of helplessness, and he secretly shook his head and said, "Brother Merlin, Brother Merlin." Where is this throne that you left behind? It's clearly a crater! ”

Along the way, the cars and boats were one after another, and they kept hurrying. Even the iron army forged by Qi Jiguang couldn't bear it, and when it arrived outside Nanjing three days later. The team was already sleepy and tired, so they had to stop and rest.

Zhu Wu, who arrived here in one step. Bringing the latest news to Shen Mo, the rebels did not control the entire Nanjing city, but only surrounded the six yamen and captured many court officials, but fortunately, although the city of Nanjing was silent, the large-scale smashing and looting did not start.

"Could it be the blessing of the gods?" Hear this. Shen Mo said in surprise.

"Not really." Zhu Wudao: "Because the officers and soldiers of the Zhenwu battalion are all natives of Nanjing. The folks in the township are really not good at blackdoing. ”

"I see," silence has been hanging in his heart. Finally let go of most of it. Strange words. (To be continued)
