One one. Mouth. Mouth. Mouth. Mouth.

"What exactly is the cause of the incident? Shen Mo asked, which was important for solving the problem: "Did you figure it out?" ”

After figuring it out, Zhu Wu nodded and said: "That's the case, back then, Nanjing recruited more than 100,000 troops for the Imperial Palace, and these people ate horses. Coupled with the soldiers' salaries and the annual expenses, Nanjing's household department has always been very uncomfortable, but at that time, the war was the most important, and the east and west could barely hold on. However, in the past few years, they have been extinct in Jiangbei, and it is useless for more than 100,000 people to take silver for nothing, so the household department is not happy and has begun to change its methods to reduce military expenditures

"As a rule, in the middle of spring and autumn every year, when the green and yellow are not connected, each stone is folded into half a tael of silver. However, two years ago, Ma Butang played the reduction of the color silver to four yuan, and instructed Huang Shilang, who audited the monthly health books, to continuously review to ensure that the attrition was removed from the support policy

According to the old system, the officers and soldiers of each battalion in Nanjing, those who have no wives receive six buckets of rice per month, and those who have wives can receive one stone. Zhu Wudao: "Originally, the soldiers were very angry when their salaries were deducted, and they were even more angry when they heard the news that they were going to stop distributing their wives and salaries

"Be more detailed." Shen Mo whispered, he needed as much detail as possible to back up his judgment.

At this time, Ma Butang had already received the holy decree to go to Beijing to serve as the head of the household department, and the new Nanjing secretary Cai Kelian could not see things because of illness, so Huang Shilang acted as the head of the household department, and the officers and soldiers thought that they were hungry in the last year, and the rice was as expensive as eight silver dollars per stone, and asked the household department to restore the original amount of five dollars per stone of silver, but Huang Shilang ignored it. In addition, according to the regulations, military rations should be paid in the first half of each month. In the middle of this month, the household department still did not pay, and it was rumored that the reason for not paying military salaries was to wait for the imperial court to approve the reduction or exemption of "wife food." Later, it happened again, so the resentment in the army boiled

Zhu Wu licked his chapped lips, and continued: "Six days ago, Zhang Jian, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, went to the Zhenwu camp to parade the army, and the troops surrounded him and asked for a salary, during which there was a conflict with Zhang Jian's guards, Zhang Cai escaped from the siege, and asked the officers to severely punish the soldiers who made trouble

The two were talking, and Qi Jiguang walked over, as if he had something to say.

Shen Mo nodded at him, signaling that it was okay to speak, Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice: "My lord, the last general approached the city wall to investigate, and found that the city gate was open, and the rebels entered and exited the city in groups of three or five, carrying burdens, Lu Dan threatened the people, looted property, and even openly beat the people, like bandits, without military discipline, and seemed to be completely defenseless

"What do you mean?" Looking silently at the city of Nanjing in the twilight, it was like a sleeping beast.

"The soldier is fast". Qi Jiguang said: "The last general is willing to immediately lead the headquarters to seize the city gate and relieve the siege of the six yamen!" ”

Yuan Jing has a point. Xiao Zhu Wu said on the side: "There are more than 100,000 garrisons in Nanjing City, although the ones who provoke trouble are the soldiers of the Zhenwu Battalion. But now there are quite a few successors, five or six large battalions, including the Xiangwu Battalion, the Guangwu Battalion, and the Yongyi Battalion, have risen up to respond, and the remaining battalions have all shaken, and the officers can't hold down the bullets, and they are about to enter the city. Moreover, they are not all natives of Nanjing, and the incidents of robbing and beating people on the street have already occurred commonly, and if they are not deterred by thunderous means, I am afraid that they will become more and more out of control. Shen Mo didn't answer immediately, but listened quietly, and then thought for a long time before saying, "Have you ever thought about whether the officials in the city will save themselves?"

The two were stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "There is indeed a possibility." ”

"It's not just possible" Shen Mo paced with his hands and said: "Although Nanjing is the capital of Liu, but the six yamen are complete, which are full of adults who have gone through the wind and rain and seen the world, now it has been five days since the start of the mutiny, they can't always be restrained, they must have taken measures to save themselves and stood and said: "The most important thing now is to know what they have done and how far they have progressed, before that, you can't act rashly If because of their actions, interrupt the self-help of the people inside, and kill a few officials, then it will be a big responsibility."

"It's all about the scriptures." Qi Jiguang and Zhu Wu immediately said with reservations.

"Fifth master, I still have to ask you to run again." Shen Mo said to Zhu Wu: "Be sure to figure out what I just said, this is related to how to act next."

Zhu Wu smiled and said, "I'll do it now, then I turned around and disappeared into the night."

Shen Mo said to Qi Jiguang again: "Brother Yuan Jing, have you got the Nanjing City Defense Map?" ”

There was already Qi Jiguang nodding and said.

"I want you to devise a few sets of plans, what to do if you force a sudden attack, how to rescue you, how to say in a silent voice: "In case of a rebellion." How to stop it, etc., are all considered in advance. Where to attack, where to control

"Is that the kind you did on Chongming Island?" Qi Jiguang asked, the worst plan at that time was to fight with the Yu family's army, and Shen Mo let Bully Jiguang make this kind of plan.

"Not bad." Silent jaw said: "The more well prepared, the better the effect will be at that time."

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Patiently waited for half the night, and Sanjin just said, "Zhu Wu is back, and he brought back a young man who is a little fan."

"My lord, this is the long-term entourage of He Shou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison." Zhu Wudao: "I can fly the eaves and walk the wall with one hand, and I escaped from the yamen to our Jinyiwei's stronghold at night." ”

By the light of the fire, he looked at the little eunuch silently and asked him, "What is your name?" ”

The little eunuch of the villain Xiaoqi kowtowed and said: "It is the eunuch of Grandpa He, who came out to report the news by the order of Grandpa He, I didn't expect Grandpa Jinglu to come so soon." ”

"Get up and speak." Shen Mo nodded and said, "What's going on in the yamen?" Come to me quickly

The eunuch said with a palpitating face: "The gang of outlaws in the Zhenwu camp rushed into Nanjing City like a madman five days ago, and those bastard defenders also breathed out with them in one nostril, and blocked a few times in a fake way, just watching the excitement on the side, and let them surround the household yamen solidly, and then the other battalions did the same, and also surrounded the other yamen, and asked for immediate pay." Zhang Butang of the military department and our father-in-law tried to get them to withdraw their troops, but they were bombed back. Later, the two sides were in a stalemate for a day, and the Zhenwu camp couldn't bear it, so they rushed into the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, trying to arrest the two Shangshu, but they didn't find anyone, so they arrested Huang Shilang and several Lang Zhong and Wai Lang. small

The silent eyebrows were already twisted into a zigzag. But he didn't make a sound, and continued to listen to the little eunuch speak: "At the same time, they rushed into the Hubu silver vault, and found that it was completely clean, thinking that it had been hidden by the Hubu in advance. became emotional, dragged Huang Shilang to the bell and drum tower, stripped off his clothes and tied them to the drum, shouted and scolded and beat indiscriminately, and forced the household to pay salaries. Then the situation got out of hand. Those Qiu Ba were beaten to death by Huang Shilang, and then they stopped

However, the little eunuch who would not give up until he got the money said: "I continued to attack other yamen, forcing Zhang Jian and my father-in-law to negotiate with them, in order to avoid further deaths, Zhang Butang and my father-in-law had to agree to pay the arrears as soon as possible." First he managed to raise 20,000 taels of silver. The mutinous soldiers did not agree, but they could not be quelled. Later, he couldn't do anything, so he scraped together 30,000 taels of silver out of his own pocket, scraped together 50,000 yuan, and distributed it. Zhenwuying's mood eased slightly

"I can't imagine that when the gourd is pressed and the scoop is lifted, other trouble-making camps will also be paid, and those who have not made trouble for the time being will also be involved, saying that they can't be treated badly. The little eunuch Xiao Qi said: "But if you want to reissue the arrears, at least four or five hundred thousand taels of silver, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you can't afford this money, my father-in-law asked for some grace, but today, they are excited again, saying that they can't see the money before dawn, so they will attack a yamen again and kill a few big officials."

The little eunuch's speech was mixed, but Shen Mo finally understood, he nodded and said, "Your father-in-law asked you to come out, is there any task?" ”

Xiao Qi thought for a while, patted his head and said: "Hey, look at my memory, I almost forgot about the business, my father-in-law let Xiao De come out, and let Jinyiwei's brother help borrow money and took out a stack of IOUs from his arms and said: "This is the IOU signed by my father-in-law and Zhang Butang." Please ask Grandpa to help

Shen Mo took the IOU, counted the amount, a total of 500,000 taels, looked at the place where the payment was made, the two of them were not dizzy, and the stamps were all private seals.

Seeing that Shen Mo no longer spoke, Zhu Wu motioned for Xiao Qi to follow, not to disturb Master Jingluo's thinking.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Shen Mo has basically understood the situation in the city, and now is the time to make a decision, he knows very well that the first task at the moment is to rescue the trapped officials, and there can be no arsenic leakage, as a member of this group, he must have the consciousness of taking the interests of this group as the highest interest, otherwise it will be difficult to tolerate this group, so he can't afford the death or injury of any official.

At the same time, the rebellion must also be put down immediately, and so many bloody murder weapons are lying in the city, and there are many that are ready to move, the situation is complicated and in danger, and if it is not handled properly, it will cause a catastrophe. If he suffers such a stain, his political life will be over.

These two points are overwhelming, and as for severely punishing the murderer, punishing the former and the latter, etc., it does not matter at all now.

After making up his mind, Shen Mo took a deep breath of the cold night breeze, his mind was clear, and a bold plan emerged, and after repeated scrutiny, he said to the three feet behind him: "Find Qi Jiguang and Zhu Wu."

Zhu Wu is extremely capable, and he has arrived in a blink of an eye. Qi Jiguang has been working on those plans, and he hasn't slept all night, so he arrived soon, and the two saw that the adults were asking about the situation of the guards in the small seven cities, so they waited quietly to the side, and after Xiao Qi retreated, they came up and said, "What do you command?" ”

"I've thought it through." He said in a deep voice: "From now on, you must strictly obey my orders, and all responsibilities will be borne by me."

"The two of you have never seen such a leader who takes on a lot of responsibility.

"Needless to say, the time is not with me". Shen Mo raised his hand and said: "Before dawn, he looked at the east and saw that the white of the fish belly was exposed, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "The night is really short, and he said: "Wait for the order, General Qi, you quickly gather the previous soldiers and horses and take the Zhengyang Gate!" "In fact, the closest to them is Tongji Gate, but it makes sense to be silent and give up the near and far, because Nanjing City is different from the Beijing City built in strict accordance with the "nine longitudes and nine latitudes, the north-south axis". According to the wine custom, that is, it is red according to the terrain of the mountain, and the Gancheng is the easternmost part of the entire Nanjing City, and all the ministries and yamen are also concentrated in the southeast corner of the imperial city.

Qi Jiguang has been familiar with the map of Nanjing, and the street scene in the city immediately appeared in his mind: "Enter Zhengyang Gate, which is the garrison of Jinwu and the remaining guards, and then to the north is Chongxi Street in the east-west direction, and after Chongxi Street, it is the six yamen on both sides of the thousand-step corridor on the axis of the palace, and then outside are the lower yamen such as Zhan Shifu, Hanlin Yuan, Tongzheng Division, Jinyiwei, etc., neatly lined up in the south of the Forbidden City, as if visiting the palace" The control desire of the old Zhu Emperor can also be seen.

Then he listened to Shen Mo's order: "After taking the Zhengyang Gate, immediately control the guards of the two prefectures, and my Chinese army will also move forward to the Jinwu Guard." After speaking, he turned to Zhu Wudao: "You and your subordinates put on official uniforms, the guard of honor is neat, raise the banner of the southeast economic strategy, enter the city to tell the army, convey three things to them, and stretch out three fingers and say: "First, the new southeast economic strategy has arrived; Second, the official understands the hardships of the soldiers, and only gathers in front of the ministry to ask for salary, which can be considerate and forgiven, as long as they are reined in from the precipice, the official can be lenient; Thirdly, if the payment of food to the wife is stopped, the color will be restored immediately, and the arrears will be paid off as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Wu struggled to remember, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: The little ones are all rough people, so many words, I'm afraid I can't remember them

"Then shout," Shen Mo thought about: "The commander has an order, and it is a rumor that the wife's food will be stopped, and all the salaries will be distributed as before, and the troops will return to the camp as soon as possible." Pledge not to blame for the past. ”

"It's a lot easier to remember." Zhu Wu smiled, looked at Shen Mo's face and whispered: "But is it that you are used to changing the title of the officers and soldiers in the southeast, and the marshal refers to Hu Zongxian."

It was this illusion that he smiled silently and self-deprecatingly: "Those who are soldiers are not officials, they only recognize those who take them to war, who buys the account of me, a newcomer?" He snorted softly and said, "I can't say it, I have to borrow Brother Merlin's prestige and feelings."

Finally, he ordered in a deep voice: "The army is waiting outside the Zhengyang Gate, forming a scattered formation, spreading banners, and appearing as many as possible." ”

"Yes".

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

At ten o'clock in the morning, Qi Jiguang led the team to set off, the Qi family army was worthy of its name, silently bypassing a section of the city wall, and when the sky was getting brighter, it had already appeared outside the Zhengyang Gate. Only then did Qi Jiajun discover that the main gate of the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty had become a dome of rebellious soldiers, and piles of bonfires would not be extinguished, and the ground was full of leftover broken bones, drunken wine jars, and stinky feces. In the midst of the loud snoring, the open-minded rebels lay on the ground drunkenly, but they didn't notice that the army was approaching.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Qi Jiguang was deeply distressed, a few years ago when he was in Suzhou, he cooperated with the defenders of Nanjing many times to annihilate the enemy, at that time their military discipline and combat effectiveness were excellent, they won a lot, and made great achievements. I don't want to go through the years, these soldiers actually corrupted the military discipline and harmed the people, which made people angry and very heartbroken.

Taking a deep breath, he waved his hand vigorously and said, "Directly march and occupy the East and West Mansions, don't pay attention to some stragglers!" ”

So the soldiers of the Qi family army began to run into the city, and the sound of neat footsteps woke up the rebels under the city gate, they rubbed their strange sleepy eyes, and saw that an army with bright armor had opened in front of them, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, and many of them were motionless, almost trampled to death by the army.

As soon as the army entered the city, it marched on the left and right, all the way to the west of the Jinwu guard, all the way to the east of the garrison Yamen, on the way to meet the rebel army that came to check, did not pay attention to it, went straight to the destination.

The brocade guards who wore dazzling official mansions and wore handsome flags in the back were under the leadership of Zhu Wu. Galloping towards the thousand-step corridor, although the number of people is small, it is full of momentum.

Qi Jiguang went to the garrison office, which is the command post of the Nanjing City Guards, and when he saw the Qi family army rushing in, he asked nervously: "Who is it?" ”

"Under the command of the southeast meridian, the Qi family's army!" The answer was like thunder, and immediately petrified the defenders, without any intention of stopping it,

Qi Jiguang went in unimpeded. I met the Nanjing garrison of Emperor Zhang, Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, and a garrison general.

Grandpa Guo looked at Qi Jiguang who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and actually shed tears, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you are here,"

Qi Jiguang sighed secretly, Xu Da's descendants turned out to be a whim, and they were really embarrassed to their idols. But he still said respectfully on his face: "The last general came on the order of Shen Jingluo, and it was too late to save him, so please forgive the grandfather of the country."

"It's good to come, it's good to come." Xu Pengju smiled with relief: "Where is Shen Jingluo now?" ”

Just outside the city, Qi Jiguang replied respectfully.

"How can you work hard for him?" Xu Pengju excitedly said to the generals: "Hurry up and follow me to greet you."
