The news of the earthquake in the land of Gyeonggi has not yet reached Nanjing, and it seems to be quiet, no different from before. But many people know that a huge undercurrent is brewing in Nanjing, which cannot be seen but touched.

The Duke of Wei has a pivotal position in the city of Nanjing, and it can be said that the entire military of Jiangnan will be affected by it. Wei Guogong stomped his feet in Nanjing, and the whole Jiangnan trembled a few times. However, since these days, the Wei Mansion has been closed to guests, which has made many generals feel bottomless.

The news that the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked Wei Guogong to return to Nanjing to participate in the military reform has already been spreading, and everyone is watching the actions of the Wei Guogong's mansion. However, at this time, the Duke of Wei put on such a posture, which couldn't help but make many people think about it.

However, this situation was broken, and the officers who came from all over the country began to flow in the morning, and these did not live in post houses or inns, and all of them came to the door of the Wei Mansion without exception. However, the door of the Duke of Wei was tightly closed, and none of these people dared to go up and knock on the door, and they also lowered their voices when they spoke, as if they were afraid of disturbing the stone lion at the door of the Duke of Wei.

On the third pole, the door of the Wei Mansion slowly opened, and a servant walked out with a smile, looking dressed as the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion. The middle-aged housekeeper arched his hand to the people around him, and said with a smile: "You have been waiting for a long time, Grandpa Guo has dealt with some things, please come with me!" ”

These people hurriedly returned the salute, and they didn't dare to say straight, they all knew this person was Wei Fu, the housekeeper of the Wei State Mansion. is the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, the Wei State Mansion is no worse than the prime minister's family, and Wei Fu will naturally rise. Some generals who were familiar with Wei Fu stepped forward with a smile, handed over an ingot, and asked about some things with a smile.

The things were accepted, but these people were a little disappointed, Wei Fu always talked about him left and right, and everyone understood that this could not be said to themselves and others. Although I was nervous, I still smiled and retreated.

Under the leadership of Wei Fu, these people all came to the lobby of the Wei State Mansion, and after they were done according to the size of their official positions, cups of tea were served. These people were obviously absent-minded, quietly waiting for the arrival of Wei Guogong.

Most of the people who came here today are the descendants of Wei Guogong, although they are a little nervous, but they are not afraid. Although Wei Guogong is very authoritative, he still takes a lot of care of the people under him.

After a short time, Wei Guogong walked out from behind, everyone got up and saluted, and Wei Guogong smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down. Sitting on the main seat, Wei Guogong's eyes swept over everyone's body, and he said with a smile: "My lord doesn't like to talk nonsense, so I brought you here today to talk about the implementation of military reform." Just listen, you will do it, no one is allowed to talk too much! ”

"Follow the teachings of the marshal!" Everyone hurriedly and respectfully luggage, and their faces became serious, Wei Guogong still rarely spoke like this.

Nodding with satisfaction, Wei Guogong said solemnly: "In this military reform, although the emperor appointed the governor of his own country, it is not my own opinion, this is the army of the Ming Dynasty, not anyone's!" You put this sentence in my heart, if anyone dares to say something or even do something with the Duke of Wei, don't blame the Duke of China for turning his face and not recognizing people when the time comes! ”

"Don't worry!" The crowd answered with a loud voice.

After a slight sigh, Wei Guogong said in a deep voice: "This military reform is presided over by the Duke of China, and the rest of the governors are assisted. In addition, there are also the participation of the household department and the Ministry of Industry of the Nanjing Military Department, as well as the military preparation road of Nanzhili, and all the yamen related to the army will participate. Go back and take care of everything that should be cooked, if anyone's butt can't be wiped clean, don't blame your father-in-law for not wiping it for you when the time comes! ”

Now everyone understands that this military reform has almost encompassed the entire officialdom in Nanjing, and it can be said that it is a real big move. Although these people are the descendants of Wei Guogong, the rest of the yamen may not give this face, especially those civil officials in the military preparation road.

"Also, the military reform of the entire six southern provinces must first start from Nanzhili, and you go back and get ready. Measure the tuntian and sort out the accounts. To put it bluntly, the silver that was deducted before wiped out the books. No one is allowed to use their hands or feet on the land, and they can take out as much as they want, and there is no room for negotiation. If anyone dares to disobey the yang, the grandfather of the country will not be able to protect you! Wei Guogong's voice became more and more stern, and everyone present could feel the murderous intent in that tone.

"Don't worry, the inferior rank will never discredit the handsome!" Everyone also replied with serious faces.

Waving his hand, Wei Guogong ordered: "Go back and prepare!" ”

When everyone left, a young man came out from behind, it was Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo. Shaking the folding fan in his hand, he said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, from today onwards, I am afraid that your good life will come to an end!" Once this news spreads, the city of Nanjing will definitely be jumping chickens and dogs! ”

"It's called scaring the snake, otherwise who will jump out? Do you really think that the reform of the military system will go well? It's different here from Yanjing, there is an emperor in Yanjing who is intimidating, who dares to come nonsense? Do you think your own government can shake those people? If we don't find out all of them, let's not talk about this military reform! Wei Guogong waved his hand casually and said with a smile.

"Grandpa Guo can see that the people who oppose the reform of the military system in Nanjing are nothing more than people from the military department, the military department and the household department. As for the governor, the magistrates didn't interfere much, and they didn't care too much. Although the governor is in charge of the local military and politics, the governor of Nanzhili does not have so much power! Mu Tianbo looked at Wei Guogong with a smile, and said seemingly casually.

Shaking his head, Wei Guogong said in a deep voice: "Some of the powers of the six departments in Nanjing are also in the military department and the household department, and their power is mainly reflected in the military. Now that the military reform has taken away most of their power, it is strange that they are willing. But the national public doesn't care about them, and the mantis arm is just a car. However, there is one person who has to pay attention, and he will definitely have to deal with it when the time comes! ”

"Who is this person? can make Grandpa Guo hang his mouth, the little nephew is very curious! Mu Tianbo's face suddenly showed a look of interest, to be able to make Wei Guogong pay so much attention, this person must not be simple.

Pointing at Mu Tianbo with a smile, Wei Guogong said helplessly: "This person's name is Yuan Keli, I don't know if you've heard of it?" ”

"Yuan Keli, Yuan Keli, this person seems to have some impressions. The little nephew remembered that when An Bangyan rebelled, this person seemed to lead the troops to quell the rebellion. My father spoke highly of him, although he was a civilian official, he could lead the army and fight, and he was a rare talent! Mu Tianbo thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he spoke.

"This is this person, Yuan Keli has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and he already has an official position, and the emperor has become the governor of Nanzhili." Wei Guogong nodded, with a little caution in his eyes, obviously he was also quite afraid of Yuan Keli.

After listening to Wei Guogong's words, Mu Tianbo's brows furrowed, and he hesitated a little: "The current governor of Nanzhili is Wuyang, so where is this Yuan Keli?" ”

He was promoted, and shortly after his appointment as governor, the emperor once again promoted him to governor of Nanzhili. This is not the end, on this basis, the emperor allowed him to be the governor of the military affairs of the three provinces. Except for the governors of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangnan, who were also in charge of Jiangxi's military affairs, the remaining three provinces were all within his control. Because of the official position of the governor of Nanzhili, in some places, the prince of the country must also be controlled by him! A complicated look flashed across Wei Guogong's face, but it quickly disappeared.

Nanjing, the town of the Duke of Wei, if someone controls it, it will be another ghost, and if you want to be the emperor of the soil like the Mu family, don't even think about it. These Wei Guogongs are used to it, except for some loss, they have no other ideas.

However, Mu Tianbo on the side pondered for a moment but laughed, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Grandpa Guo is really smart, he is confused for a while!" This Yuan Keli will not only not set up obstacles for Grandpa Guo, but will open the door to convenience, and even help Grandpa Guo. ”

Wei Guogong was stunned for a moment, looked at Mu Tianbo in surprise, and said, "What do you mean by this?" Let's talk about it in detail! ”

"This Yuan Keli is highly valued by the emperor, and the emperor will definitely have a will for him. Moreover, the military reform of Nanzhili, the little nephew thinks that it will be more appropriate for him to preside. The Governor of Nanzhili and the Governor of Zhezhi basically include the seven southern provinces, but the emperor let the grandfather preside over it, and the meaning is different! Mu Tianbo had a smile on his face, but his heart was very shocked.

The feeling that the Emperor of the Apocalypse gave Mu Tianbo was unfathomable, but he didn't expect the means to be so old and calm. Seeing that Wei Guogong fell into deep thought, Mu Tianbo said with a smile: "Although this Lord Yuan is the governor of Nanzhili, it has not been for a long time, and the foundation is still shallow, so it is inevitable to stumble when doing things. Grandpa Guo is different, he has deep roots in Nanjing and is familiar with local affairs. Let Grandpa Guo preside, not only can show the emperor's trust in Grandpa Guo, but also make things complete well, why not do it? ”

"Still, right? After all, this matter is a matter of offending people, and most of the people offended are military generals, and there are also many civil officials who are offended. The Duke of Wei is the same as the country, even if he offends the generals, it will not hurt, and the civil officials don't care. This Governor Yuan is different, he was prepared by the emperor for the reform of the military system, to train the new army, to appease the officials, and then his Governor of Nanzhili will sit firmly! It seems that the emperor's bureau has been arranged for more than a day or two, and I am afraid it started when Yuan Keli did not become the governor of Nanzhili! Wei Guogong didn't know what the expression was on his face, he was relieved for a while, but he was a little lost for a while. (To be continued.) )
