Chapter 210: Humiliation on oneself
To achieve the position of a local leader, who does not know a few people in Beijing, and everyone has backers of different sizes behind them.
However, the eunuch who could make Jingshi come out to pass the decree was so low that who he knew and who was behind it made people think about it.
The eunuchs who passed the decree were basically the confidants of the great eunuchs, that is, the candidates who would become the great eunuchs in the future, coming out of the capital, representing the emperor and the imperial court, everyone looked at the sky with their eyes, and they would take care of these people in the local area.
Wan Dao, the eunuch of the grain prison, was also a figure of the imperial horse supervisor before leaving Beijing, and he took the initiative to talk to him and was not given a cold face, but he was helpless, he had a lot of oil and water outside Beijing, but when it came to speaking, it worked, and he had to say these things in Beijing.
These are all good to say, the crux of the problem is that according to the deputy envoy of the Inspectorate Division, Master Pan Dapan gave Wang Tong such an ugly face, what should he do next.
I don't know that the wind leaking in there blew on Panda's face, and it was cold, and Master Pan realized that his face was sweating, so he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it a few times, but he felt that someone was poking him, what time was it, and what tricks were he doing, Panda turned around and shouted angrily.
But he found that the person who poked him was actually the Qing army Tongzhi stationed in Tianjin by Hejian Mansion, and this Tongzhi pointed outward with a small movement, Panda looked in the direction and found that he didn't know when the door was ajar, and the cold wind was pouring in, but this was not the point.
Instead, the soldier who came with him, Wai Lang, was talking to a servant in his early forties, and the servant had come with Wang Tong.
The six divisions, Lang Zhong is the main official, the deputy of the staff outside Lang, the member is also an official from the five grades, the real power is very large, this kind of small official in Beijing is not a small official, after leaving Beijing, the style is not smaller than the political envoy, but such a Beijing official actually accompanied the servant of Wang Tong to chat.
Looking at the attitudes of the two sides, the attitude of this foreigner was lower, and the eunuchs, civil officials, and military generals in the room all looked at the Qing army in the same direction.
Look at the Qin Cha over there and carefully flattering Wang Tong, and then look at the Beijing officials of the military department here politely talking to Wang Tong's servants, everyone feels that their brains are not enough, and they are even a little dizzy, what is this.
"This is the thousand households surnamed Wang, what a big show!"
"When I go back, I'll write to Jingshi to ask, don't come to a big god and treat it as a little ghost."
Hearing that he didn't know who was talking behind him, he shook his head, and only then did he react, not to mention the sweat on his face, his body was also soaked with sweat and his clothes were sticky and quite uncomfortable.
His face was very ugly, no matter who was behind this Wang Tong, he had already done what he had offended people, and he looked left and right a few times, but found that Wan Dao, the eunuch who was in charge of grain, walked a few steps to the side and deliberately distanced himself.
When Cai Nan finished his decree and greeted there, the military information outside the city was transmitted to this side, and within the jurisdiction of Jizhen, the troops and horses were mobilized to kill their own troops, this is a big case, the imperial court directly transferred the troops, and the surrounding troops, as well as the transferred troops, must be reported layer by layer, and let their superiors know as soon as possible.
The face of the general who came to receive the order was extremely ugly, and he was the last to know about such a major event in his own jurisdiction, and he listened to the report below, transferred troops to encircle and suppress, and among the soldiers transferred, he changed all the generals above the general level to officers sent by the Beijing Division to take over the command.
Seeing that 3,000 soldiers surrounded their camp, the soldiers who pretended to be thieves immediately wanted to surrender, but the people outside did not want them to surrender at all, and the bows and arrows were fired for a while, and the officers and soldiers went in to slash and kill, and after washing the camp twice, they began to search for the people who had not died, and threw them directly into the prisoner car, ready to take them to Beijing for torture.
When the general thought that his punishment was to be punished, and then looked at such a cruel disposal method, he felt cold all over, and he couldn't feel what was going to happen next.
After a few words of greeting with Wang Tong, Cai Nan could also see that Wang Tong's mood was not very good, he was also a shrewd person, and he also saw how clear the local officials in Tianjin and Wang Tong were, even now, the Tianjin officials stood in the distance with ugly faces, but none of them stepped forward.
Cai Nan kept all this in his heart, but he didn't speak, they came in a hurry and left in a hurry, they couldn't delay too long here, looked at the sky, and bowed down to leave.
The messenger bowed to Wang Tong and said goodbye, but these civil and military officials in Tianjin never dared to be so big, so they had to send them politely one by one, and did the etiquette and everything else.
Qin sent a cadre to wait for the horses to go away, and the atmosphere in the courtyard of the Yamen of the Soldier Dao was quite strange, and Wang Tong and Tan General were about to leave in a corner of the house.
"General Li, lead your family soldiers and generals to go out, and sort out the soldiers and horses around our Tianjin guard, the same is true for the three commanders, the big and small affairs in their own guards must be tighter, if there are any difficulties, even if you talk to the official, it really can't be done, the official wrote to General Qi."
The general Li and the three commanders of the guard agreed with ugly faces, Pan Da cleared his throat, his eyes quickly swept over Wang Tong and the others, and said in a loud voice:
"Approaching the end of the year, the food and salary in all parts of Jizhen are ready, if you have any difficulties, just come and talk to this official."
Everyone knew what was going on in their hearts, but they just agreed casually, and Panda took two steps forward and said with a smile:
"The military needs of the border towns are naturally given priority to the soldiers in the north, and it is inevitable that some of the brothers behind will be treated badly, and the food and salary of Tianjin Jinyiwei have also been delayed for a long time.
At least the eunuch Wan Dao could see it clearly, thinking that this Lord Pan's face would inevitably change too quickly, but whoever saw Qin Cha's appearance towards him had to change his face as soon as possible.
"Master Pan, Bingbei Dao has owed a total of 28 months of food and salary to Tianjin Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, this time it has been paid for six months, when will the rest be paid?"
Wang Tong didn't have a trace of gratitude on his face, and asked coldly, Panda's face suddenly darkened, but he still forced out a smile and said:
"The Yamen of the Rectification Army Preparation Road has been sealed, and the allocation of food and salary requires the seal of the chief military officer and the household department and the military department, and Lord Wang does not need to worry, after the start of the year, this shortage of food and salary will be made up for you together."
"Master Pan, such a big favor, do you need to kneel down and kowtow?"
Wang Tong's voice was raised very high, and Panda's face was completely darkened, but he was still laughing, and said with a smile:
"Everyone is in the same place as an official, and we will get along for a long time in the future, why be so polite, no, no."
After saying these words, Wang Tong casually hugged his fists, did not say goodbye, and led General Tan to stride out.
The people in the room looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and after being quiet for a while, the eunuch Wan Daocai smiled and said:
"A young hero like Wang Qianhu is really different, he must be the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, it's really amazing!"
The Qing army Tongzhi stationed here in Hejian Mansion also nodded and echoed there, and praised repeatedly:
"When today's son is a wise and martial young man, and there are young talents like Lord Wang below, it is really a blessing for my Ming!!"
You say a word to me, and you have no words to praise, and it doesn't matter whether Wang Tong can hear it or not, I just hope that a word can reach Wang Tong's ears.
Panda's face was ugly, and he couldn't be more ugly, but he still pretended to be kind and elder, and echoed a few words.
"General Tan, do you know the staff of the military department? ”
"Don't tell the master, this foreigner was Lord Tan's protégé in Zhejiang back then, and he brought it up step by step, and he had dealt with the little one many times back then, so he was familiar with it."
On the way back, the people raised their eyebrows a lot more than the last time they returned, and they looked at the previous bullish officials who were very angry and flattered in a low voice, which was really indescribably happy.
Wang Tong and Tan Jiang chatted a few words, the horses were about to run back to the station, and the door of the Tianjin Jinyi Guard Office was busy, and the soldiers of the Tianjin Jinyi Guard were busy cleaning with sweat.
Under the urging of Ma Pozi, the garbage in the yard was swept into the earthen basket, and then carried out the door.
Seeing Wang Tong come back, Hang Baihu, who was covered in dust, hurriedly came over to greet him, and said hello and hello, Wang Tong covered his mouth and nose and walked into the courtyard.
Although it is still dilapidated, but the appearance of the garbage dump yesterday is gone, neat and tidy, Wang Tong is satisfied, and he can't stop nodding when he walks around, and the Hang Bridge follows into the yard from outside the door, but does not continue to clean, but follows the look.
"The food should be delivered, and it will always be delivered in six months, and you can go back and talk to your brothers, and everyone will be happy."
Hang Baihu hurriedly bowed down and said:
"Your Excellency is here, the sun is really coming out of the sky, and the brothers below will set up an immortal tablet for your lordship to ......"
Although they had not been dealing with each other for a long time, Wang Tong could still sense that something was wrong with this Hang Baihu, turned his head to stare at him and said:
"Lao Hang, under the hands of this official, he can't stay long, you can say whatever you want."
Hang Daqiao's old face flushed, and he said after a long time:
"I heard that the entourage brought by the adult is going to live in the back of the house, and today's cleaning was stopped by the small one, can you please ask the adult to open the grace for a few days later, and the money of the guest house outside is a small burden."
Wang Tong, who said this, was also interested, turned his head to stare at Hang Daqiao and asked:
"Money is a small thing, why can't these houses be vacated."
"The small ones took it upon themselves to rent out these houses, and they were used as warehouses, and if they were vacated, they wouldn't be able to finish them in a day or two, and they wouldn't be able to find a place to store them."
Wang Tong had heard about it for a long time, but he had always been interested in what was stored.
