Chapter 1022 Disembarkation

Wang Tong's family members all boarded the ship in Tianjinwei, Tang Shan personally led the team, and the Tianjin Division also specially selected trustworthy messengers on the ship to ensure that nothing went wrong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Tianjin Wei's henchmen and family servants, as well as the people arranged by the Tianjin Division, a few people were directly brushed down when they got on the boat, there was no reason, these people had a dispute in the past, but someone told them that the old man was still in his position, and there were eyeliner spies planted around him, which should also be, and now if you don't do tolerance, you still follow what to do, is it difficult to wait until you get to the sea to throw down and feed the fish?

After saying this, several people were discouraged, knowing that their families had been recognized, one million taels of silver, and one hundred thousand taels of gold were all loaded into the ship in the form of ballasted goods, and very few people knew.

The ship arrived at the capital of Dengzhou and stopped at the port for ten days, waiting for the confluence of the fleet from Liaodong, which was to pick up Wang Tong.

Although Li Hutou and Cai Nan felt helpless about Wang Tong's decision, they also knew that in the current situation, Wang Tong's initiative to resign was the best choice, and the entire Wang Tong system, whether it was the army or the economy, or even civilian officials like Lu Wancai, could continue and be preserved in all aspects.

Li Hutou and the regiments selected 600 retired veterans as Wang Tong's escorts and followed him to Jiangnan together.

Among the guards, Sha Dongning unexpectedly did not go to be a general of the Tianjin Guardian Division, but was willing to follow Wang Tong to Songjiang and serve with him.

Ma Sanbiao originally wanted to follow, but was persuaded by Wang Tong, others don't say, Ma Sanbiao's mother is old, and she is a native of Beijing, so she may not be able to adapt to the changes in the climate and environment, it is better to stay in Beijing to retire, and Jingshi secretly actually Wang Tong still has a big mess, leaving Ma Sanbiao is a person, and someone can be regarded as suppressing the scene.

The Sanjiang system is Wang Tong's private property, and after Zhang Cheng settled in Tianjin, Wang Tong instructed them that they could ask Zhang Cheng's opinion on some major matters.

Of course, this time Wang Tong resigned without authorization and went to Jiangnan, no one would ask for instructions on this matter, but the news could not be kept secret for too long, or when Han Xia and others went to ask for greetings, Zhang Cheng probably guessed what he was going to do, but he didn't know at the time, and it was said afterwards that Zhang Cheng sighed, knew how to advance and retreat, and went well.

As for Cai Nan, Li Hutou, Zhang Shiqiang, and Lu Wancai, Wang Tong has no need to worry about it, each of them has their own scenes.

In fact, although the original regulations were not explicitly statuted, in fact, the Wanli Emperor ordered Wang Tong, and Wang Tong arranged for this cadre to do things, which is equivalent to Wang Tong's rule, and now everyone is responsible to the Wanli Emperor, for the Wanli Emperor, the current structure is more secure.

The urgent delivery of the message by the Jingshi was a few days faster than Wang Tong's fleet, and by the middle of June, the decree had already arrived in Songjiang Mansion.

The content of the will is naturally inquired into by many parties, and the messenger of the decree has also been instructed, and he does not hide the content of the will at all.

"Wang Tong is the Duke of Liaoguo, and he is still the commander of Jinyi Weidu, and Songjiang Mansion has a general office, who will lead the army and the people in various matters and supervise the opening of the port."

The marquis to the prince of the country is really logical for Wang Tong, the rise of this title is reasonable, in fact, it is also unexpected by everyone, such a great feat, everyone thought that the court would be exceptional.

Since the Jiajing year, there have been a lot of wars in the southeast and northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many people who have been rewarded for their military exploits.

However, Wang Tong, the prince of the country, is hereditary, which is very remarkable, that is to say, Wang Tong's position as the prince of the country can be inherited, and the descendants of the country are all the princes of the country.

Such a noble title, there was only one non-Zhu family royal family in the world, that is, the Xu family of the Duke of Wei in Nanjing, the world is vast, Nanjing is the former capital, Jiangnan is the center of grain and taxes, there must be a special person to manage, but the Beijing division is in the north, the two are far away, and it is impossible to send relatives to sit in the town, so it is the Xu family and the Nanjing town guard eunuch and the Nanjing military department Shangshu tripartite management, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "king of Zhennan".

It is also because of such a position that the Xu family has the hereditary title of Duke of the country, and now Wang Tong is also going to have it, this credit is indeed real, and others can't find fault with it.

Although the commander of the Jinyi Guard is a real position, all the important yamen are in Beijing, and there are only three thousand households in Nanjing, what can be managed, this is just a face-saving effort, and it seems that the court has not unloaded the mill and killed the donkey.

As for this general office Songjiang, it is the most detailed description of each position, and everyone can see it clearly, which is equivalent to handing over Songjiang Mansion to Wang Tong.

In addition to Suzhou Mansion, the world's Songjiang Mansion is the richest, and now if this place is given to Wang Tong, many people drool, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand that the court is actually a little stingy with Songjiang Mansion to reward Wang Tong's great merit.

The locals of Songjiang don't have much to do with it, after the Xu family was wiped out by the "pirates" overnight, Songjiang Mansion actually has no big power.

The large piece of fertile land left by the Xu family is something that some people want to make up their minds, but it turns out that the Sanjiang Commercial Bank has taken the lead, the fertile fields in Songjiang Mansion, and the spinning and weaving industry, the Sanjiang Commercial Bank has quickly grasped it, and the Sanjiang Commercial Bank is much fairer than the Xu family, and there is no such thing as forced buying and selling.

Liangtian is in the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, and the spinning and weaving are also controlled by the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, and the economy of Songjiang Mansion is actually controlled by Wang Tong.

The current Songjiang Mansion is also the territory of Wang Tong's family, and what can others do when they get here, the locals of Songjiang Mansion are not unseen.

On the Shanghai side of the county, the Sanjiang Commercial Bank has hired a large number of people to build a manor for Wang Tong.

And some time ago, a military attache named Liao Lang came to Songjiang Mansion to do an inspection, specializing in arresting thieves and investigating things, who Liao Lang is, the people don't know, but some of the subordinates brought back by Liao Lang are recognized by many people, isn't this the so-and-so who was messing around in Taihu Lake back then? It is said to be the largest water thief in Taihu Lake, and then disappeared for a while, but I didn't expect to be recruited by the government, and it is said that this cadre is Wang Tong's subordinates.

originally thought that he was an outsider as an official, and there would always be such and such inconvenient places, who would have thought that there would be a local head snake as his subordinate, how could this be inconvenient.

Not to mention, now the officials who work up and down in Songjiang Mansion are all from the various yamen of Tianjin Wei, that is Wang Tong's old foundation, old territory, he came here, isn't it the same as in Tianjin Wei.

Towards July, Wang Tong's fleet arrived at Songjiang Prefecture, where the local gentry, Songjiang officials, and the corresponding wealthy figures of Nanjing came to greet them.

Seeing the three-masted and five-masted ships in Wang Tong's fleet, as well as the black guns on the ship, and the veteran guards who followed Wang Tong off the ship, everyone's attitude was very respectful.

Among the rich and noble people who greeted on the dock, many of them were sent by Nanjing Xungui and Fengyang Zhongdu Xungui, naturally Nanzhili from top to bottom, some officials came in person, and some sent people, these people greeted on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also came to see the style, he Wang Tong used to run rampant in the world, relying on the favor of Emperor Wanli and his own power, the Huwei Army and Jinyiwei are the most important reasons.

Now he resigned in order to avoid suspicion, Jinyiwei couldn't take it away, and the army was lost in Liaodong again, and now Wang Tong is nothing, but it's just a fictitious title of the commander of both Liaoguo and Jinyiwei, how big can a Songjiang general office be, that is, the level of the prefect.

When you Wang Tong came to Jiangnan, he beat people again, burned boats, and was pressed enough everywhere, and when he left, he was scraped a lot of silver by you, and now you are here, and you are powerless, and they all say that you Wang Tong is rich in the world, and this time you should also have some blood, or let you see what it means to bully life.

Seeing these cannons, seeing these big ships, and seeing the neatly draped and murderous veterans, he Wang Tong actually transported more than 100 cavalry by boat.

Everyone looked at each other, they were speechless, no matter what situation Wang Tong was in now, this force was put out, no one dared to speak, at least don't think about things like getting off the horse, otherwise, there are so many examples before, it's good not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how can I do this, I am really ashamed to have you come to respond, thank you here!"

When Wang Tong walked off the boat, he still greeted him in a decent manner, and everyone returned the salute according to the rules, Wang Tong looked around after getting up, and said with a smile:

"When my father was on the ship, I heard that Songjiang Mansion opened a port, manpower and material resources are in short supply, and the progress of many projects has been delayed for a long time.

Wang Tong talked about business at the beginning, everyone was very surprised, and raised the big hat of Emperor Wanli, everyone naturally agreed, and expressed their positions or was heartbroken, Wang Tong said with a smile after everyone finished speaking:

"Since you all have this thought, my father is not welcome, five days later, Songjiang Mansion began to clear the acres of land, check the population, some people have made a strong contribution, we must start the various projects of opening the port as soon as possible."

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't dare to say anything to oppose and refute it, this Wang Tong, when he first arrived in Songjiang, gave everyone a dismount first
