Chapter 437: Shocking Changes
"Hu Zongxian, do you dare to say that the old man framed you? Then look at what this is! ”
Zhao Zhenji said, took out a roll of account books from his sleeve and threw it into Hu Zongxian's arms, Hu Zongxian subconsciously caught it, his nose was crooked, he was also the overlord of the southeast, when had he been treated so rudely!
But when I opened the account book, I only looked at it a few times, and sweat flowed down my sideburns. It is clearly recorded that Han Dongfeng, a thousand households, smuggled 50,000 horses of silk from Yuegang, and exchanged a total of 700,000 taels of silver.
Speaking of this, Hu Zongxian knew that this batch of silk was seized from the hands of the Japanese Invaders, and Hu Zongxian did not return it to its owner, nor did he hand it over, but let his subordinates sell it secretly, and half of the silver in exchange was used to buy off the intelligence of the spy on the Japanese Invaders, and the other half was brought to the capital to go through Yan Shifan's door.
Hu Zongxian knew how hated the position he was sitting in, and if he didn't have a strong backer, he wouldn't be able to play at all.
It's just that this kind of thing can't be said to outsiders, and even if it is said, Zhao Zhenji will not forgive him.
Hu Zongxian slowly flipped through, his head turned rapidly, and when he turned to the last page, Hu Zongxian finally had an idea, but he didn't admit it!
"Lord Zhao, where did you get this account from?"
"Naturally, it was the proceeds of the raid on the pirates of Moon Harbor."
Hu Zongxian smiled slightly, "So it's a record of a group of bandits?" ”
"So what? The old man only asks if it's true or not! Zhao Zhenji said categorically.
"Okay, then I'll tell Lord Zhao, it's all fake, it's all fake. I don't have a thousand households named Han Dongfeng, nor do I have 50,000 horses of silk, let alone smuggling! ”
Zhao Zhenji was so angry that he was happy, "Master Hu, the push is really clean, then the old man will ask you again." What happened to Tian Rucheng, why did he write a letter to Jin Yuting and ask Jin Yuting to poison Ruan Yuting? You said that there is no Han Dongfeng under him, so he can't even have Tian Rucheng, right? ”
At this moment, Hu Zongxian was asked, he couldn't talk nonsense with his eyes open.
"This ...... Naturally, there is, but the official doesn't believe that he would do such a heartbreaking thing! ”
"You don't believe it. Let's take a look! Zhao Zhenji snorted: "Bring Tian Rucheng and Jin Yuting up." ”
It didn't take long for someone to bring both of them up, confronting them on the spot, it can't be fake, it can't be fake, Tian Rucheng can't deny it, he gritted his teeth, no matter what, Hu Zongxian can't be involved.
"Lord Qiqi Qincha, the villain was originally a Jinshi, and later he was impeached because of Ruan Yu. After losing his official position and resigning, the villain heard that Ruan Que was in prison, so he wanted to take revenge, so he wrote a letter to Jin Yuting and asked him to help. ”
Zhao Zhenji frowned and sneered: "It's just a personal grudge, you dare to poison a governor, it's really a big dog's guts!" ”
Tian Rucheng simply let it go. "That's right, the villain has nothing else but guts. I've done everything, and I ask you not to implicate the innocent. ”
After speaking, Tian Rucheng kowtowed to Hu Zongxian again, tears flowed for a long time, "Hu Butang, the villain is loved by adults." As a guest of honor, I thought that the day I would see the day when I pacified the Japanese and sang the song of triumph, but I didn't want to make a mistake, and I couldn't recover. My lord, we'll see you in the next life! ”
As he spoke, he took out the dagger from his boot and slashed it hard at his throat, and blood gushed out. Tang Yi closed his eyes suddenly, Hu Zongxian's eyes were red, Tian Rucheng was a pen under his hand, the two of them were also teachers and friends, and they were forced to die before they were convicted, so how could Hu Zongxian explain to the Tian family and other staff!
"Zhao Zhenji, what do you want to do?" Hu Zongxian held the bloody corpse, like a wounded beast, and roared loudly.
Zhao Zhenji didn't expect Tian Rucheng to be so strong, his face was very ugly, but he refused to bow his head.
"Hu Zongxian, don't think that you will be fine if he dies, the heavens are clear, the old man will not let go of a guilty person!"
Hu Zongxian's crimson official uniform was stained with blood, which was even more hideous, he slowly got up and pointed at Zhao Zhenji with his finger, "Stir it, stir it!" Just stir it up! It made the soldiers cold, stirred up the war and ran out of food, stirred up the chaos in the southeast, stirred up the Japanese and seized the Ming Dynasty, I, Hu Zongxian, will accompany you to play with my life! ”
Zhao Zhenji was not afraid of anyone, the old master had a haircut, and laughed angrily: "I really think of myself as a character, the Ming Dynasty is bad in the hands of you moths, and you dare to talk shamefully with the old man for the country, you are also worthy!" ”
Hu Zongxian's face turned blue, "Okay, I'm not worthy, I don't want to conspire with each other!" ”
As he spoke, Hu Zongxian picked up Tian Rucheng's body and walked outside, the soldiers at the door were holding swords, and they didn't know whether to stop it or not.
Hu Zongxian glared at him, "This official is the governor of Qin, get out of the way!" ”
I have to say that after many years of leading troops, Hu Zongxian's murderous aura is too strong, so scared that these people are urinating on their buttocks and dodging one after another, Zhao Zhenji can't stop Hu Zongxian by himself, and fight with him, besides, Old Master Zhao may not be able to beat others, so he can only watch Hu Zongxian leave.
Zhao Zhenji was so angry that he smashed the things on the table and gasped.
From beginning to end, Tang Yi didn't say a word, he knew in his heart that things had reached this point, and they couldn't be good, and the two sides had to distinguish between victory and defeat.
Tang Yi's head is getting bigger and bigger, the case started from the robbery of the city's shipping company, and it started from the pirates in Yuegang, and the real culprits are only the seven maritime merchants with the surname, but now, it has become a big battle between the Yan Party and the Xu Party, which has seriously blurred the focus. If this continues, it will only allow the remaining five surnames to get out calmly, and it will only give the Japanese a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Tang Yi was really very remorseful, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have set off this turmoil. He also drew an important lesson from this.
As long as everything involves party disputes, there is no right and wrong, there is no right or wrong, what to say is to talk about things, what to say to take into account the overall situation, all are nonsense, the current situation is like a rehearsal of the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party decades later, both sides use their spiritual heads to attack each other, throw the state affairs aside, and make a good country to the bandit group of wild boar skins!
In any case, the tragedy must not be allowed to happen sooner!
Tang Yi originally still had a hint of the mentality of watching the excitement, but he didn't dare anymore at this time, he came down from the lobby and immediately wrote a letter to his father Tang Shen, asking his father to strengthen his vigilance to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of the chaos to sneak attack.
Then he wrote a letter to the two seniors, Qian Dehong and Wang Ji, and asked the Xinxue people to come forward immediately, like Zhao Zhenji to put pressure, and at the same time contact the five surnames, so that they could be let go, on the condition that they were not allowed to make waves again, and to stabilize the southeast.
Moreover, Tang Yi also gave an order to the traffic line to mobilize all the gentry and form a public opinion, the current enemy in the southeast must focus on state affairs, take the common people as the mind, and not act rashly. When necessary, unite the students of the southeast and give the court a book of 10,000 words.
After the three letters were written, it was already the second watch, Tang Yi couldn't sleep, he changed into civilian clothes, came out of the back door, and slipped to the line where Gonggong Shi and Huo Jiangong lived.
Only Jiajing could stop the chaos in the southeast, Tang Yi told the two of them about the situation, and Gonggong Shi's old face shrank into a bun.
"It is said that the water in the capital is deep, but let's see, the water in the southeast is even deeper! Don't worry, Lord Tang, our family will immediately send a letter to the celebrant and ask the ancestor to persuade Your Majesty. ”
"There is Father-in-law Lao."
Tang Yi has all the means, everything he can do has been done, and the rest is only waiting.
It was another long and torturous month, Zhao Zhenji continued to dig out the civil and military officials involved in smuggling through the information of Yuegang, and the officials in Fujian took him down half, and the rest were all in danger and had no time for official business.
In addition, Zhao Zhenji also summoned three lieutenant generals and five generals, including Lu Bo and Tang Kekuan's subordinates. Hu Zongxian really couldn't stand it, if Zhao Zhenji was allowed to investigate like this, the army in the southeast would collapse. You Zhao Zhenji have the king's order banner, and I Hu Zongxian also have it, and I have one more Shang Fang sword than you!
The two of them went toe-to-toe, and they almost cut each other.
As soon as they made such a fuss, the entire southeast soldiers had no fighting spirit, the officials were lazy, and the common people were even more complaining, and many people had begun to scold Zhao Zhenji for being ignorant.
Tang Yi and Tan Lun, and many more people are running and shouting, hoping to end the chaos, but Zhao Zhenji has already killed his eyes and refuses to compromise at all.
At this time, an inconspicuous military newspaper was ignored by everyone.
On March 21, a group of about 3,400 Japanese invaders landed from Songjiang, and Tang Shen, the governor of Zhejiang, led his troops to kill them, and the two sides engaged in battle, and about 150 people were wiped out, and the remaining Japanese invaders fled.
According to common sense, this gang of Japanese robbers should have retreated to the sea and **** wounds, but surprisingly they did not go, but continued to go inland, and the next time they were found, they had already crossed the Taihu Lake and committed Yixing. Ying Tianxun was suddenly attacked by Shi Baoshan, and more than 300 of his soldiers were killed, and he himself was killed by two arrows and died a day later.
After this gang of Japanese robbers succeeded, they became more and more rampant, burning and looting all the way, breaking into Guangde, Ningguo, and even entering Huizhou Mansion, attacking Hu Zongxian's hometown Jixi. Fortunately, the defenders were killed, and more than 1,000 people from Ding Zhuang helped defend the city and beat the Japanese outwards back, and this group of Japanese soldiers did not disappear, and after more than ten days, they actually appeared outside Nanjing!
At this time, there were only more than 100 Japanese pirates, and they had already lost most of them, but the ferocity of the Japanese invaders increased exponentially, and they even attacked Andemen head-on. Two or three hundred more Ming soldiers were killed, but fortunately, the defenders of Nanking were equipped with new firearms, which were so powerful that the Japanese invaders fled again after leaving behind twenty or thirty corpses.
You must know that of course, there are more than 30,000 people stationed in Nanjing, and after deducting empty salaries, there are also more than 20,000 people, not only did they not leave more than 100 Japanese criminals, but also suffered heavy losses, and they did not even catch up with the shadow of the Japanese invaders!
Shame! What a shame!
It doesn't matter that the capital is constantly being invaded by me, and now even the Japanese have been killed under the city of Nanjing, the great Ming Dynasty, is there still a pure land?
It was the Japanese who traveled thousands of miles in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, killing a total of one imperial history, one county Cheng, two commanders, and two generals, attacking two county seats, killing and wounding four or five thousand soldiers and civilians, the southeast shook, and the Ming Dynasty shook! (To be continued.) )
PS: Everyone must know that the Japanese invaded Nanjing, the historical data is quite confusing, and there are a lot of discrepancies, and the small ones have made some adjustments according to their own needs, and the general story is like this, so don't pursue the details.
