86_86695 "A qiē reactionary is a paper tiger. On the surface, the reactionaries look terrible, but in reality they do not have any great power. The truly powerful force has never belonged to the reactionaries, but to the people, to the Revival Society that comes from the people and leads the people! For this, our soldiers of the Renaissance Army know best! ”

-- 1622, Wang Shuhui, "The Revival Army is a Revolutionary Army"

"Between us, do we need this? Lao Liu, you do this, it seems that we are divided! ”

When Wei Zhongxian saw Liu Huaiji, who led Song Xiance into Beijing, in his private house outside the palace, the first thing he said was this. All the people of the Ming Dynasty would never have thought that Wei Zhongxian, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, would treat others so affectionately if he never smiled in front of people, and the majestic master of ceremonies Bingbi, and Wei Zhongxian, a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

Wei Zhongxian was sincerely happy to see Liu Huaiji. Speaking of which, the one who can be called a friend of Wei Zhongxian in distress is really Liu Huaiji, who has been walking in Beijing on behalf of the Zhijiang Palace.

"What did my father-in-law say? These things are not the same as those dirty officials outside, they are here to slap the father-in-law. This is our lord's rule. ”

"Our prince said that the expenses in Beijing are not something that our small people can think of. If the family is still generous, you can't worry about your father-in-law. My father-in-law is now supporting the emperor to manage the country, and we have to help my father-in-law think about these little things. ”

Good sycophants, Wei Zhongxian himself is very good at speaking. In the past two years, as the Emperor of the Apocalypse has gained a firm foothold, his own power has also grown. Therefore, he really listens to this kind of sycophancy. However, people have to pay attention to the law of fate. Wei Zhongxian listened to Liu Huaiji's words, and didn't think it was sycophant at all, but felt that the Zhijiang Mansion was sincere. After all, we are friends in trouble.

Wei Zhongxian said to Liu Huaiji with a smile on his face: "Old Liu, you are too." I went back and talked to the prince well, I eat and drink in the palace, and the expenses are limited, so I don't have to be so polite. How are you princes? Still listening to the play every day? ”

Liu Huaiji is a little sincere to Wei Zhongxian. After all, heart for heart, Wei Zhongxian's affection and sincerity to him are the same whether it is before he is developed or after he is developed. Liu Huaiji smiled and sat down at Wei Zhongxian's signal, and said to Wei Zhongxian: "What my father-in-law said is true. What kind of person my lord is, my father-in-law knows. I want to be a rich idler. The affairs of the family are all in the hands of the county lord and the guest of honor. The prince and his old man are in charge of one pleasure. Ha ha. ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "Your prince is a blessed man. Wang Yibin is a capable businessman. In fact, it is also the big heart in your house, like Zhang Wenda's big turban (a contemptuous name for scholars), your prince should go to this book to visit him. I'll give the celebrant a look here, and I'll let him go home and eat the old rice. Your lord, you have never been a troubled person. ”

"That's what my father-in-law said. The prince is such a person, and he never cares about these. Yibin was a little nervous. After all, Jingzhou Mansion is controlled by the Zhang family from top to bottom. The county lord and the guest of honor are both filial people, and they are afraid that the Zhang family will secretly harm the prince. Wouldn't this send the old slave to discuss with his father-in-law? ”

For Wei Zhongxian, a top political figure who controlled the operation of the Ming Dynasty, Jingzhou was an inconspicuous rural place for him. There was no such place in his eyes. So, for a while, he really couldn't say anything.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian groaning, Liu Huaiji said: "What we mean by the guest of honor, isn't there no commander in Jingzhou Wei." He wanted the people in the house to get a job in the house. ”

"Tell me, who are the characters in Jingzhou officialdom. Now that the whole world is in charge of the turban, what is the use of arranging errands for you to be assigned to the guards. In such a rural place, the health center doesn't know what it's rotting into. "Although Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch, in terms of values, it is the same as the current environment.

In his eyes, a military attache is not an official at all, and he is useless. The general soldiers in all parts of the country had to dismount and salute when they saw the soldiers. A guard commander can have a few hundred serf soldiers who can afford to hold a spear in his hand, and it is not even as good as a county order.

Liu Huaiji generally knew Wei Zhongxian's thoughts, but he also knew Wang Shuhui's plan. So he said to Wei Zhongxian: "No one in the family has read a few books, and if you want to be a civil official, it will be embarrassing for your father-in-law." The prince didn't dare to let his family delay the important affairs of the court. In fact, Yibin himself was born in a family of Jiangmen in Liaodong. After all, he is young, and he still has a good impression of the military attaché. ”

"Hahaha, you guest of honor is still young at the bottom, he is the same as a guard and a border soldier. When the master of the temple (Emperor Jiajing of Ming Shizong), the guards were rotten to the bottom. The guards are good at farming, but when it comes to the real tricks, everyone like Qi Wuyi (Qi Jiguang) has no way to use the guards in the art of war. At that time, there were dozens of pirates, chasing thousands of guards around. Haha, I heard that you Yibin recruited miners to be in charge, and I thought he wanted to learn from Qi Wuyi and was a soldier who knew the soldiers. Now it seems that he is still young. ”

Wei Zhongxian still has some real skills, at least he still has a very clear understanding of what kind of situation the Ming Dynasty's guards are.

Liu Huaiji praised Wei Zhongxian's all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and then continued: "My father-in-law understands what he sees, but in fact, the meaning of Yibin is also in Jingzhouwei's place." That's a rare piece of land. The military households are really good at farming. ”

Wei Zhongxian understood what Liu Huaiji meant, and said to him with a smile: "What a big deal." I also use your old Liu to run a trip. Tomorrow, I will take down the envoy of your family's honor bin Jingzhou Guard. By the way, he also let him take care of the affairs of the Jinyi Guard in Jingzhou. After all, he is still the commander of the Jinyi Guard sealed by the Wanli Emperor. Hahahaha! ”

For Wei Zhongxian, the commander of a local guard station, don't look at it as a third-grade official, but for him, it is a big thing. Now Jinyiwei and Dongchang are also in his hands, and the local Jinyiwei has never been irrelevant. So he took Jinyi Wei Jingzhou Thousand Households to add a head to the Zhijiang Palace, and be a favor.

Unlike Liu Huaiji, Song Xiance also knew the rules and systems of the imperial court, so he whispered to Wei Zhongxian: "Father-in-law, after all, my family's guest of honor is a clan and serves as a local military attaché, will anyone talk about it." ”

Wei Zhongxian then remembered that there was a young man standing next to him. He listened to Song Xiance's words, nodded, and said to him, "You are loyal to your family's honor guests. In fact, when Taizu became an ancestor, he was the captain of the dynasty, so he was also a military attaché. ”

After saying this, Wei Zhongxian looked at Song Xiance and smiled, and said to him gently: "You go back and talk to your family's guest of honor." He's a young man, and he doesn't have to be so old. I'm afraid of this and that, and I still look like a young man. It's not that our family looks down on him. His guest of honor is a character in your rural area, and it is not a matter at all when he gets it to the Beijing Division. I know he has a heavy mind, but you also tell him that in the Huguang realm, he can go sideways, and our family will protect him! ”

After saying this, Wei Zhongxian ignored Song Xiance. He smiled and chatted with Liu Huaiji about various interesting things in the court. Speaking of which, Wei Zhongxian really doesn't have any serious opponents who can talk casually and show off casually.

In his conversation with Wei Zhongxian, Liu Huaiji expressed his intention to keep Zhang Hong, the governor of Jingzhou Prefecture. Wei Zhongxian didn't care about this, and casually agreed. In fact, 30,000 taels of silver were placed there, not to mention keeping a prefect who had little responsibility. It's to buy a prefect, and the current market price is like that.

In this way, Liu Huaiji and Song Xiance used 30,000 taels of silver to buy Wang Shuhui's official position as the commander of Jingzhou Wei and the leadership of Jinyi Wei's Jingzhou Thousand Households from Wei Zhongxian. By the way, he took Zhang Wenda's henchman, Zhang Yan, the governor of Jingzhou Mansion, and went home from his post and kept the official hat of Zhang Hong, the governor of Jingzhou.

For a county order, Wang Shuhui's dual identity is quite fearful. A son-in-law of a vassal king, plus the official position of the commander of the guard, the information revealed in this is very rich.

If Liu Yangmin is polite to Wang Shuhui on an ordinary day, it will be forgotten. There will be no intersection between the two sides, as long as the general situation is passable. However, now the soldiers under Wang Shuhui are using cannons to break through the city gate, which is really earth-shattering.

Speaking from the heart, Liu Yangmin really wanted to stand up the backbone of the civil official and reprimand Wang Shuhui for a few words. However, what Wang Shuhui and his entourage just said made Liu Yangmin really dare not act rashly. Because Wang Shuhui and his entourage said that the family of Wu Chaozong, a big family in this county, was actually a thief who colluded with the Wenxiang Sect.

When Liu Yangmin heard this, his first reaction was not to believe it. Although he, as a county magistrate, had a great conflict with Wu Chaozong, the leader of the local gentry, out of the instinct of officials, he did not want such a big thief to appear under his rule. Although the Wenxiang Sect has no name in Huguang, as long as it is an official of the Ming Dynasty, he can learn through the Guòdi newspaper that in the past few months, it is the time when the bandits of the Wenxiang Sect in Shandong have made a big fuss.

Liu Yangmin wanted to refute it. However, the evidence presented by Song Xiance and Gu Junen is really beyond doubt. These evidences are private letters written by Wu Chaozong to Xu Hongru and Wang Haoxian. Although I have ridiculed Wu Chaozong's writing in the past, it is a martial arts penmanship. However, Liu Yangmin happened to know his bad words. (Wang Shuhui had people steal some of Wu Chaozong's letters, and then returned to modern times and asked professionals to use computers to make them)

Liu Yangmin is now not only hating the big trouble that Wu Chaozong has brought to him, but also full of resentment towards Wang Shuhui, a mourning star. Thinking that there was such a thing as an anti-thief under his rule, Liu Yangmin's heart was really anxious. Although he is not a person who wants to be an official, he does not want to be dismissed like this.

Wang Shuhui and Liu Yangmin did not speak after the meeting, it was Song Xiance and Gu Junen who were negotiating with Liu Yangmin. Sitting there quietly and waiting for a long time, Wang Shuhui was really tired of these people going around in circles. Looking at his watch, he said to Liu Yangmin: "Liu County Order, I have a way to solve all the problems of Liu County Order." ”

Although Liu Yangmin was dissatisfied with Wang Shuhui in his heart, he didn't dare to express himself on the bright side. He said cautiously, "Lord Wang, please advise." ”

Wang Shuhui said to Liu Yangmin very bluntly: "Liu County's order is nothing more than that he is afraid that there will be a thief under his rule, which will affect the official reputation of Liu County's order." What if Wu Chaozong's family was not hunted down and killed by officers and soldiers, but was destroyed under the attack of mountain bandits? As long as I don't deliver these letters to the above, there is no evidence on them, who knows if Wu Chaozong is a thief or a good squire killed by mountain bandits! ”

Whether in modern officialdom or in ancient officialdom, there are many things that can be done and cannot be said. Listening to Wang Shuhui's words, not only Liu Yangmin was stunned for a moment, but even Song Xiance and Gu Junen, who came with Wang Shuhui, were also stunned. It's not that this matter can't be operated like this, but no one will say it like Wang Shuhui.

Although deep in his heart, Liu Yangmin was eager to accept Wang Shuhui's proposal immediately. However, as a civil official, although Liu Yangmin is not very old, he also has rules and regulations that he wants to maintain. In front of so many people, if he directly accepted Wang Shuhui's Jianyì, then he would have become a complete shameless villain.

Therefore, after hearing Wang Shuhui's words, Liu Yangmin, who reacted, immediately brushed his sleeves away.

Seeing Wang Shuhui's thoughtful appearance, Song Xiance explained to Wang Shuhui euphemistically: "This civil official has to pay attention to some officialdom rules. Although the status of the lord is noble, after all, he is an actual official position and a military attaché. The adult's mention is so direct. Liu Xianling just wanted to accept it in his heart, out of the face of civil officials. He's going to cover it up too. ”

Gu Junen is much more direct to Wang Shuhui. He said to Wang Shuhui: "My lord is too reckless. You suddenly robbed Liu Yangmin like this, Liu Yangmin will definitely be hypocritical for a long time. This will slow down the work of the Revival Society in the local area. ”

Although it had been said before departure that all the negotiation work would be handled by Song Xiance and Gu Junen, Wang Shuhui really didn't have the energy to deal with this kind of blind greeting of the ancients who talked nonsense with their eyes open and had nothing to do. He also knew that his sudden intervention was a bit reckless.

He was a little embarrassed and said to Song Xiance and Gu Junen: "What the two gentlemen said is very true, I was reckless. Here's an apology to both of you. After saying this, Wang Shuhui got up and gave a military salute to Song Xiance and Gu Junen.

If it had been before, Song Xiance and Gu Junen would still feel very frightened. But now, they all know that Wang Shuhui is a person who "don't be afraid to change if you pass", and when he gets along with others, he is not afraid to admit his mistakes at all. Of course, Wang Shuhui often takes the stupidity of a traverser. But when it comes to big things, he has always been like a god and always right.

The Renaissance Army is really not like the revolutionary army that Wang Shuhui yearns for. This army is now becoming more and more professional and professional. This kind of professionalism and specialization, as many recruits who have just been recruited into the army and who are displaced and disaster victims say, is a state of "even farting with a pawn".

There is a lot of training, a lot of study, a lot of books, and a lot of drills, and this is the current situation of the Renaissance Army. Wang Shuhui is a man who seeks truth from facts, and he knows that he can't cultivate that great army, so he tries his best to establish a comprehensive and perfect system in the revival army. There are rules for everything, and everyone memorizes the rules. System building and soldiers' cultural learning are closely integrated.

It cannot but be said that there is no army in the world that will be as comprehensively intellectualized and institutionalized as the Revival Army. Although this army is not up to the grade in the eyes of modern people, it is basically a substandard army with a primary school culture. But if you compare it with the armies of this plane, there is a difference between heaven and earth.

For example, for the matter of raiding the house. The Renaissance Army not only has a special "Clearance and Search Drill Manual" within the army, but also conducts special training for soldiers in the army. If you want to say that such a unit is not professional and professional enough, you are talking nonsense with your eyes closed.

In the process of clearing the Wu Dynasty clan, the soldiers of the Fuxing Army showed outstanding professionalism and professionalism. This is mainly reflected in three aspects.

First, as long as there was no one in the Wu family who was hostile to the soldiers of the Fuxing Army, whether it was an ordinary family servant or a relative of Wu Chaozong, there was no one with injuries on his body or blood on his face. They were tied tightly by the soldiers with special ropes and techniques, and knelt in two rows in the courtyard.

Of course, anyone who dared to resist the Baath soldiers in the liquidation work was stabbed to death with bayonets by the soldiers. Because Wang Shuhui repeatedly emphasized the preciousness of the lives of the soldiers of the Renaissance Army in the training of the army and in various drills.

Wang Shuhui repeatedly said in his speeches to the troops: "The soldiers of our Reconstruction Army can die and sacrifice for the interests of the poor brothers and sisters in the world. This is because our revival army is the pillar of the revival revolution and the vanguard of serving the poor people of the world. However, we must not hurt ourselves in the slightest because of pity for the enemy. For those who are hostile to us, out of the consideration of protecting the precious lives and safety of our soldiers, comrades must be 'steady', 'accurate', and 'ruthless', and nip the danger in the bud. ”

Under this kind of education, it is conceivable what kind of fate the elite family members of the Wu family who are praised by the gentry of Jingzhou will be. And many of Wu Chaozong's relatives also died under the bayonets of the soldiers in the habitual arrogance and pretense because they failed to see the situation they were facing.

Second, the soldiers have paid special attention to the implementation of the three major disciplines and eight points. In the process of clearing the Wu family, even when they stabbed the bayonet into the enemy's chest, there was no trace of anger on their faces. He maintained a calm and expressionless face throughout the whole process. Moreover, during the entire liquidation process, except for the continuous issuance of passwords by some cadres, none of the soldiers of the Renaissance Army said anything.

After all those who resisted and tried to resist were eliminated, the Baath Army fighters neither beat nor cursed the captives. Except for a few people who were taken away by scouts to assist in the investigation. Not only did no one hide the victories, but no one did anything to Wu Chaozong's family.

Third, the soldiers were particularly thorough in their inventory of the Wu family's property. Under the scouts' "scientific interrogation" of key people, all the Wu family's possessions ranged from gold and silver title deeds to rings and jewelry. Soon, they were seized one by one under the search of the soldiers. Many of Wu Chaozong and his henchmen didn't know that Wu Chaozong's aunt's private rooms were all searched out by the Fuxing Army one by one
