Chapter 202: Coming ashore
The news of Dingyuanhou's big trouble in the cabinet soon spread all over the streets and alleys, and the people in the capital were the best gossip porters, and in less than a day, there were several versions of this matter, one more outrageous than the other, and I heard that there was already a troupe arranging it day and night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The people are always ignorant, maybe they just want to believe the version they want to hear, it's nothing, anyway, no matter how outrageous the people say, Xiaotian and Lao Yan Xiaoyan can't hear it, and the impact on them is minimal, but the impact of this incident in Shilin is an earthquake.
Even if you want a big thunder to fall from the sky and hit your head, you still have to pretend to talk and laugh freely, and greet you in a friendly way when you meet during the New Year's holidays.
Only a very small number of people who are just too straight will not even bother to do this superficial work, but at most it is just a snort when they meet, or a sneer, like Xiaotian, roll up their arms and sleeves, and directly stage a full martial arts in the cabinet, from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, not to say no, it is also very rare.
Such a move can only show one thing, that is, the Marquis of Dingyuan officially showed his sword with Yan Dang, you live or die, and there is nothing you can do. All of a sudden, all Qingliu rejoiced, and all Yan Party was worried.
At night, Yan Mansion.
After dinner, Yan Song and Yan Shifan discussed countermeasures in the study, and no one could approach this place except for the two of them on weekdays.
Yan Song said: "Qing'er, what you did in this matter is somewhat reckless."
Yan Shifan was not convinced, and said: "Am I reckless? The little rabbit cubs have all run to the cabinet to do it, is there still a king law in this world? Who does he think he is? It's just that his father was transferred back from the place, does this kid understand the rules? ”
Yan Song said: "Hmph, this kid is more refined than a monkey with hair, how can he not understand, he is pretending to be confused, who made him young, who let him not participate in the scientific examination, and even no one has been an official, at this time, his age is his advantage."
The cabinet did it, this is indisputable, but if it is put on him, he will become young and ignorant, and he is eager to protect his father, which is understandable. And on the contrary, you are in your forties, and you have the same knowledge as him, but you have lost your stomach, hehe, your father and I rely on the old to sell the old, he is relying on the small to sell the small."
Yan Shifan: "Then what should we do next, we have to teach this stinky boy a lesson."
Yan Song said: "No, the top priority is Li Mo." can't make too many enemies, if his father-in-law Lu Bing is also provoked, I'm afraid our grandfather's life in the court will be very difficult."
Yan Shifan: "Then it can't be counted"
Yan Song said: "Lehe's return to Beijing should be a certainty, he is now more and more powerful, and the court has to be a little jealous, this matter is a matter of course, we can't lose this face, the court can't rest assured that he has been staying overseas, and the day when he goes ashore is not far away." Then will be the time to deal with him."
The Yuanhou Mansion is a different scene.
When Xiaotian returned home, Lu Rui expressed 120,000 points of concern to him, and while treating his wounds, he said: "Husband, you should take me with you, see if I don't kick him to death, where is your little body for fighting."
Xiao Tian thought to himself, if he really brought you there, the cabinet would have to kill him, and hurriedly boasted
"It's okay, I'm all a small injury, you didn't look at Yan Shifan's cripple, the I beat came out, I didn't have a third or fifth month, and I couldn't get out of bed at all."
Lu Rui smiled lightly and said, "Is my father-in-law really going to Beijing?"
Xiao Tiandao: "Nine times out of ten, Yan Shifan has a good grasp of the opportunity, and he is involved with Hu Zongxian, I told the emperor at the beginning, Jiangnan can't live without Hu Zongxian for a day, and I ended up putting myself in."
Lu Rui said: "This Hu Zongxian is also true, how much our family helped him, it is simply a revenge." ”
Xiao Tian sighed and said: "Don't blame him, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, he has too much to do with Yan Dang, he can't pull it out at all, Yan Shifan's grandson is too inferior, it is obvious that Lao Hu doesn't dare to pout him." ”
Lu Rui continued: "However, my father-in-law is only in his forties, does he really want to enter Beijing as this pension official?" ”
Xiao Tiandao: "It's okay, your husband and I haven't been at sea for a few days, and I have to enter Beijing, so let's combine our swords together, with me to help my father, the pension officer will have to raise a different one."
The first month of the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing is destined to be an extraordinary month, for Xiaotian, too many major events have happened, and with Xiaotian's status today, his major events are naturally the major events of the entire Ming Dynasty.
First of all, Wang Zhi surrendered.
Wang Zhi actually has long had the idea of recruiting An, people are old, they can't fight, and now he can't understand the sea more and more, plus he has long been inseparable from Xiaotian, after the Spaniards left, the only source of the old shipowner's weapons business is Xiaotian, in addition to the Japanese country, he can still have the final say, the Portuguese also obviously have a better relationship with Xiaotian, and almost all of his upstream and downstream are controlled by Xiaotian.
But Wang Zhi is not Xu Hai, he wants to surrender, the most important thing is to let the court accept the statement that he is not a thief, so as not to unload the court and kill the donkey, and his power is greater, the foundation is deeper, and if he is not handled well, it is very likely to cause a big disaster.
It wasn't until the vassal king went to sea that he found an opportunity.
These clansmen, although they are rich and have boats, but they have no knowledge of the sea, the vast majority of them have never seen the sea in their lives, not to mention anything else, there must be a reliable navigator for sea navigation, otherwise you will not go to sea, but play with your life.
In terms of elite navigators, and knowledge and experience at sea, even Xiaotian has to bow down to Wang Zhi, the old ship owner is not called in vain, he used his diplomatic skills in the process of helping these clansmen to get familiar with the sea, and became iron buddies with several princes, and indeed played a huge role in these clansmen.
These clan relatives are useless one or two, but they add up to a lot of political power, and more than 20 princes in a row have asked for correction of Wang Zhi's statement that he is a thief, and the court has to pay attention to it.
In the end, the old shipowner Wang got his wish, and all of his family resources were handed over to the imperial court, and he himself got a genuine marquis.
These things are all natural, but what about these forces of Wang Zhi?
The most suitable way is, of course, to hand it over to Xiaotian, but how can the imperial court rest assured? Even if it is handed over to others, there is no guarantee of Xiaotian's influence in this army, how can it be handed over to him again?
But if you don't hand it over to him, there is really no suitable candidate, and the court has also talked to a few princes, hoping to hand over this fleet to them, but no one dares to take it.
This is originally the power of the sea thieves, and it has never had anything to do with the imperial court, except for Wang Zhi, it seems that only Xiao Tian can be suppressed, and he became their chief, and he was rescued by a sudden stroke one day.
Besides, this army must balance Xiaotian, is Xiaotian so easy to balance? As the commander of this army, the soldiers did not necessarily listen to themselves or Xiaotian.
In the end, there was really no way, the court could only pinch its nose and give it to Xiaotian, but in this way, Xiaotian's power was too great.
Counting Wang Zhi's subordinates, Xiao Tian's manpower has reached a terrifying number of more than 100,000, not counting his Eight Banner reserves, Portuguese allies, and many people and forces on the sea that can be affected by Xiao Tian.
The most important thing is that such a big force is almost completely out of the control of the imperial court, and the imperial court has no way to restrain him, let alone Xiaotian, even the emperor's own son is not at ease.
So, going ashore is already inevitable. The imperial court must put Xiaotian under the nose of the capital in order to relax a little. (To be continued.) )
