The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Chuzhou is located in Baixia Street, and the county government is located on Changgan Street, one is located in the east of Jianye Street, and the other is located in the west of Jianye Street.

Although five hundred plum blossom guard sergeants were also deployed on this street last night, their task was to protect the safety of the Huangfu Wujin Mansion.

The mutiny that occurred last night has ended, Jiangning City has returned to calm, although there are still many people whispering about last night's incident, but the neighborhood market in Jiangning City is very calm, except for a small number of Meihua Wei sergeants on duty in some key parts, there is no tension, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and the main book of the Jiangning County Ya all appear in the Yamen normally, and the county order is Shao Yin Zhang Rong concurrently, and the only thing that has an impact is the Jiangning Mansion Ya, which has been completely closed.

However, the Jiangning Mansion is more of a response to the imperial court, basically does not specifically manage the place, and is generally responsible for the county government, so the closure of the Jiangning Mansion basically has no impact on ordinary Jiangning people.

The sky was already dark, the operation of Changgan Street and the Jiangning Mansion had ended, most of the Meihuawei sergeants were temporarily resting in the military barracks in various schools in Jiangning City, the streets were very quiet, and the civilians and officials began to travel normally again.

There are several carriages parked in front of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, all of which are the carriages of the high-ranking officials of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the Dadu Governor takes Changshi Zhou Xin as the chief, and there are more than a dozen important officials such as Sima Lan Ji'an, Judge Wu Tu, and Gao Xu, who has participated in the army, and the Dadu Governor's Mansion has 1,000 directly administered troops, mainly responsible for managing the three military warehouses on the four city gates and docks, and the logistics and grass of the 250,000 government soldiers and 50,000 sailors in Chuzhou are all responsible for the Dadu Governor's Office, and the power is very great.

Like the rest of the yamen, the officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Office immediately gathered to talk about the mutiny that had taken place last night.

"What happened last night is obvious!"

Sima Lan Ji'an accentuated his tone and said to everyone: "Huangfu Wujin is to eradicate the power of the Shen family in Chuzhou, I heard that not only Shen Qiwu and Zuo Yundou were arrested, but the Shen Mansion in the west of the city was also besieged, and more than a dozen children of the Shen family were arrested, and it is estimated that the two county orders of Baixia County and [***] County will not be able to escape, I suspect that Huangfu Wujin has received the emperor's secret decree, otherwise he would not dare to publicly clear the power of the Shen family like this." ”

"Why does the emperor want to clear the power of the Shen family, has something happened in the imperial court?" Judge Wu Tu asked suspiciously.

Gao Xu next to him sneered, "I guess Uncle Shen's training of the private army was revealed, and the emperor made the first move in Chuzhou." ”

"Shh Lan Ji'an sighed heavily, "There is no evidence for the private army, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Lord Lan, what is evidence, don't you know about the White Army? Who in this room doesn't know? Everyone is pretending to be stupid, I suspect that one day the white-clothed army will kill, you and I will lose our lives in their hands, don't deceive yourself anymore, since Huangfu Wujin has already set out to eradicate the power of Uncle Shen, then let's tell the emperor about the white-clothed army as soon as possible, so as to save the future and say that we don't know about it. ”

Gao Xu wanted to say more, but the judge next to him, Wu Tu, kicked him, Gao Xu turned around, and saw Changshi Zhou Xin appear at the door, he suddenly didn't dare to speak, Zhou Xin's wife is the daughter of the Shen family, Zhou Xin is also a person of Shen Guo's uncle, Zhou Xin heard it, how could he spare himself?

There was silence in the room, and more than a dozen people didn't dare to say much, but Lan Ji'an reacted very quickly, Zhou Xin was also Uncle Shen's person, so why didn't Huangfu Wujin move him? He wondered in his heart.

Zhou Xin said to everyone very calmly: "Everyone come out!" I just received the news that Huangfu Wujin is coming to our Dadu Governor's Yamen soon, I guess there is something, let's prepare! ”

Everyone was stunned, Huangfu Wujin was coming, why was this? Lan Ji'an stood up and said hurriedly: "My lord, will Huangfu Wujin come to arrest your lord?" ”

"What did he catch me for?"

Zhou Xin said unhappily: "I am the dignified governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, from the third rank of high-ranking officials, conscientious, never at fault, why did he arrest me?" ”

Lan Ji'an knew that he had lost his words, Zhou Xin was a high-ranking military official, although he was also a member of Shen Guo's uncle, but he had nothing to do with the Shen family, Huangfu Wujin might not move him, and he hurriedly said: "I just think it's strange to be humble, what is he doing in the Dadu Governor's Mansion?" ”

"I heard that he received a secret decree from the emperor yesterday, and it is estimated that there has been a change in Chuzhou, if he comes to announce the decree, we will just do what we want."

As soon as Zhou Xin's words were finished, he saw a loud shout outside: "The holy decree has arrived, and most of the governors and officials have received the decree!" ”

The room was suddenly in a mess, everyone rushed out, only to see more than 100 people walking in from outside the gate, there are palace guards, there are plum blossom guards riding, the first three people, one person on the left is known to many people, Chen Zhi in the imperial history, the person holding the holy decree in the middle is a eunuch, everyone has seen it, it is Luo Zhongguo, the official of the inner service province, who came to announce the decree last year, and one person on the right, the helmet is bright, it is the heir of the Liang Wang Huangfu Wujin.

After a while, everyone placed an incense case in the courtyard, and Changshi Zhou Xin led more than 40 officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to kneel down and listen to the order.

Luo Zhongguo announced to Huangfu Wujin the night before yesterday, preparing to return to Yongjing after resting in Jiangning for two days, but he was threatened and lured by Huangfu Wujin, Luo Zhongguo also knew that the emperor would die soon, so it was better to find a way out for himself as soon as possible, and finally, he accepted Huangfu Wujin's 1,000 taels of gold to buy, and he was desperate to do things for Huangfu Wujin.

Luo Zhongguo unfolded the holy decree and read aloud: "The officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Chuzhou listened to the decree, and I heard that Xiangguo Shenqin, as a courtier, raised a private army of 80,000 in the 25th manor of Chuzhou, called the white-clothed army, I was shocked, this is to bully the king, not the heart of the subordinate, in order to calm the trouble of the private army, I specially sealed the Governor of Chuzhou, the heir of the Liang Wangfu Wujin temporarily led the Governor of Chuzhou, gave Chuzhou a gold medal for the transfer of troops, held the sword of Shangfang Tianzi, and took Chen Zhi as the supervisor of the imperial history, and ordered Huangfu Wujin to pacify the private army of Chuzhou within one month, The three armies of all the military governments in Chuzhou all listen to their moderation, and those who do not accept the dispatch can be cut first by the sword of the Son of Heaven and then played, admire this! ”

This holy decree made most of the officials secretly frightened, no wonder Shen Qiwu, Zuo Yundou and others were arrested last night, and it was really Uncle Shen's private army East Window incident.

Zhou Xin kowtowed heavily, "Minister Zhou Xin respectfully obeys the holy order and assists the Metropolitan Governor wholeheartedly!" ”

Luo Zhongguo preached loudly again: "Huangfu Wujin accepts the sword talisman!" ”

Huangfu Wujin stepped forward and knelt down, "The minister Huangfu Wujin is willing to share the emperor's worries!" ”

Luo Zhongguo took out the gold medal monk Fang Tianzi Sword for the transfer of troops in Chuzhou, and solemnly handed it to Huangfu Wujin, who took the gold medal and said loudly: "Within a month, the minister must clear the state private army and never live up to the grace!" ”

Luo Zhongguo finished reading the will, and said with a smile to Huangfu Wujin: "Your Highness, the matter is urgent, and I hope that Your Highness will immediately discuss the matter of exterminating the private army, the emperor is very angry about this, saying that it is a month, maybe he will ask about this matter in half a month, or please ask His Highness to work hard." ”

"I understand! Please ask my father-in-law to reply to the emperor, and I will immediately start deploying. ”

Huangfu Wujin said to Zhou Xin again: "Changshi, I want to discuss this matter with you now, is it convenient?" ”

Zhou Xin nodded and said to everyone: "Let's go to the council hall!" Discuss the matter together. ”

To mobilize the armies of the various military governments in Chuzhou, the military department and the emperor Yanjing have the power, the military department is to transfer troops with tiger talismans and muwen, and the emperor is to transfer troops with gold medals or the sword of the Son of Heaven, among which the gold medal for transferring troops is the most effective token of troop transfer.

However, there is a distinction between wartime and peacetime, and the emperor will appoint the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses to directly command the generals of each region, and the generals of each region will also take over the government soldiers and reorganize them.

At this time, the emperor mobilized the troops of the military government, only with the gold medal or the sword of the Son of Heaven is not enough, but also needs the transfer order of the Metropolitan Governor of Chuzhou, this is because the military government does not have the gold medal and the map of the sword of the Son of Heaven, in order to prevent the transfer of troops, but also in order to improve efficiency, it is not possible for people to take a gold medal to run around Chuzhou, so that two months may not be able to run the military government, and the road is not safe.

Therefore, the transfer order or the sword of the Son of Heaven is generally only at the level of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and after the Metropolitan Governor's Office confirms that it is correct, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will issue a unified transfer order, and if there is a military government that does not obey the military order, then send someone to take the transfer order or the Sword of the Son of Heaven to punish.

And the transfer order of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is not something that Zhou Xin can issue alone, so the matter is very simple, and there is no need to make it so complicated, because Changshi does not have such great power, and the transfer order is actually an order issued by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion collectively, and the procedure is very strict.

The order for the transfer of troops was first drafted by the military officer, approved by the long history, then reviewed by the judge, and finally handed over to Sima for execution, and sent to the military offices.

Eunuch Luo has already left, and in the meeting hall, all the officials sit on both sides, and Huangfu Wujin sits on the position of the governor of Chuzhou.

In the middle of the lobby, a table is placed, and the Shang Fang Tianzi Sword and the Chuzhou Troop Transfer Gold Medal are placed on the table, which are verified by the two Fu Yin Lang of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, which is the most important procedure, and if the transfer order or the Tianzi Sword is not verified, the Dadu Governor's Mansion will not issue a troop transfer order.

Fu Yinlang has a surname of Wu and a surname of Sun, and they have an atlas of the Sword of Heaven and the gold medal for the transfer of troops in their hands, and the two need to cross-check to ensure that they are correct.

After they carefully verified, Fu Yinlang, surnamed Wu, said aloud to everyone: "It has been verified that Shang Fang's Tianzi Sword and the gold medal for troop transfer are both true and correct, and the order for troop transfer is feasible." ”

Fu Yinlang gave the gold medal and the sword of the Son of Heaven to everyone one by one, and finally returned it to Huangfu Wujin, Zhou Xin said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is the governor of the capital, and he has the gold medal and the sword of the Son of Heaven in hand, how to exterminate the private army in Chuzhou, please give an order to Your Highness!" ”

Wu Jin beckoned, two plum blossom guard sergeants carried a wooden frame to the lobby, the wooden frame has a detailed map of the mountains and rivers of Chuzhou, Wu Jin stepped forward, picked up the wooden stick and pointed to the red circles on the map, and said to everyone: "This is the distribution map of the private army in Chuzhou investigated by Meihuawei, the red circle above is the location of twenty-five manors, distributed in Liyang, Lujiang, Xuancheng, Zhongli, Tong'an, Yiyang, Huainan and other seven counties in Jiangxi, a total of 83,000 white-clothed troops, please see!" ”

Everyone looked at it carefully, and saw that it was marked very clearly on the map, and they all secretly thought in their hearts: "It seems that Huangfu Wujin has been prepared for a long time, and he has investigated in such detail." ”

Sima Lan Ji'an said with a smile: "Since the white-clothed army has its own reading strength, we can mobilize the various military offices and break them separately, what does Your Highness think?" ”

Wu Jin shook his head, "This is the previous distribution map, the latest information I have gotten, the white-clothed army has begun to gather." ”

Wu Jin pointed at Lujiang County with a wooden stick and said: "Eighty thousand white-clothed troops have gathered near Chaohu, and one army cannot defeat the other party, so we must gather troops, and now I hereby order, within three days, the soldiers of all counties in the south of the Yangtze River must assemble to Jiangning Mansion, and within six days, all 170,000 troops will be assembled, and I will lead the army to exterminate the rebellion of the white-clothed army!" ”
