Chapter 916: The Big Picture Matters
"Wang ...... Lord, is this true? Yang Yu was stunned again, and then hurriedly got up and came to the wooden fence, and asked eagerly through the fence, "Can the lowly family really go to Duohai City." ”
With the opening of overseas trade between Daming and Nanyang, Duohai City has now become the richest port in Daming, and its prosperity is especially worse than Yangzhou City, since Li Yuntian promised to let Yang Yu's family flow to Duohai City, it means that they will have food and clothing in the future, which is undoubtedly a great news for Yang Yu now.
"This king has always spoken with all his words!" Li Yuntian replied coldly, in fact, he knew that Yang Yu was pretending to be crazy from the first time he saw him, and the trace of consternation that Yang Yu's eyes flashed after seeing him was clearly captured by him, if Yang Yu was really crazy, there would definitely be no such abnormal appearance.
"Humble ...... Willing to be honest. After getting Li Yuntian's affirmative answer, Yang Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, as if he was more than ten years old.
It's strange to say, although it was Li Yuntian's arrival that led Yang Yu to become a prisoner of the order, but he didn't hate Li Yuntian at all, after all, what Li Yuntian did was official and not mixed with personal grievances, unlike Feng Yong, who usually accepted so many benefits from him, but still had to fall into the ground.
If there is one person Yang Yu can believe now, then this person is undoubtedly Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian's reputation has always been very good, as long as he agrees, he will definitely do it, which makes Yang Yu's heart no longer worry, he knows that he will not escape death no matter what, it is better to find a way out for his family.
"This king doesn't care what grievances you have with Feng Du's commander, once this is the end, don't get involved, the matter of Jianning's right guard is bad enough, this king doesn't want to see the entire Fujian Xingdu Division's guards panic!" Seeing that Yang Yu had returned to normalcy, Li Yuntian walked towards the outside of the prison door, and said in a deep voice as he walked.
"Humble duty understands." Yang Yu couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, Li Yuntian's meaning was obviously not to want the situation to continue to expand, otherwise it would not be conducive to the stability of the Fujian Xingdu Division and even the Tianxia Wei Office, after all, Li Yuntian's name was placed there, if the Fujian Xingdu Division was thoroughly investigated, then it would definitely trigger a series of chain reactions in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
After Li Yuntian came out of the Yamen prison in the capital of Fujian, Li Yuntian set off and left Jianning City, and with his departure, the civil and military officials of Jianning City breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Yuntian's preservation was like a mountain that pressed them incomprehensibly.
Although Li Yuntian left, Li Zixi and others stayed to assist Feng Yong in investigating the case, saying that they were assisting but secretly led the direction of the case.
Feng Yong didn't know what Li Yuntian said to Yang Yu, but Yang Yu no longer "went crazy" and actively cooperated with the investigation, and did not bite him as tightly as before, which made his hanging heart finally let go, it seems that Li Yuntian wanted to control the situation caused by the Shangma Village case.
Of course, Feng Yong knew what Li Yuntian wanted, so he vigorously investigated Jianning Right Guard, turned over all the messy things of Jianning Right Guard, and prepared to sort out the case file and hand it over to Li Yuntian for inspection.
Just a few days after Li Yuntian left, Mrs. Feng's nephew entered Jianning City in a wolfish manner, he secretly escaped while those "kidnappers" were drunk, and luckily brought back the cat's eye gem, which made Feng Yong really relieved.
At the same time as sending someone to send the cat's eye gem to the Fujian Department of Jiangwutang, Feng Yong mobilized his own soldiers to go to the place where Mrs. Feng's nephew was trapped to clear the kidnappers, but when he arrived, those kidnappers had already run away, which made Feng Yong feel disappointed, if he caught those kidnappers, he would definitely repair them, and almost made him fall into Yang Yu's case.
Due to Li Yuntian's intervention, the influence of the Shangma Village incident was rapidly expanded, and it spread throughout Fujian and Zhejiang in an instant, causing an uproar among the people.
No one would have imagined that Li Yuntian, who was busy with official business, would go to avenge an ordinary military household like Zhao Laosan, which made Li Yuntian's image in the hearts of the people a little taller, and he began to be called "the virtuous king" by the people.
Of course, Li Yuntian's virtuous king is different from those "virtuous kings" of the Ming royal family, those princes of the Ming royal family have nothing to do all day long, as long as they keep to themselves and don't cause trouble, they will become the "virtuous kings" in the eyes of the imperial court, and the two cannot be compared.
With the right guard of Jianning from the command of the guard to the subordinate guards, hundreds of households were put into prison by the Fujian Xingdu Division for occupying military fields and enslaving military households, not only the guards in Fujian and Zhejiang, but also the guards in the northern region were also greatly shocked.
Although over the years, the imperial court has sent Beijing officials to various guard posts to clean up military affairs, and although there have been many achievements in checking the time of a number of encroachment on military fields and enslavement of military households, the results received under the joint resistance of the local guard posts and the governors of the five armies have received little results, and it is a symptom rather than a cure.
And Li Yuntian not only took down the right guard of Jianning from top to bottom this time, but also obtained the unusually support of the Fujian Xingdu Division, which was unique in the Qing army affairs of the imperial court in the past.
After the news of Shangma Village spread, the guards in Fujian and Zhejiang immediately realized that Li Yuntian attached great importance to moving to Xiaoliuqiu Island, so the military attaches of those guards did not dare to secretly obstruct it anymore, but sent those military households away like a plague, for fear of provoking Li Yuntian, which made the relocation of those military households much easier.
It is worth mentioning that because Li Yuntian once angrily denounced in the lobby of the Fujian Bank Capital Division that lending usury to military households was a bad act of damaging the national defense affairs of the Ming Dynasty, after the news spread, those who lent usury to military households in Fujian and Zhejiang were deeply shocked by this, and hurriedly reduced or exempted the debts of those military households, for fear of getting into a lawsuit.
This greatly alleviated the heavy life pressure of those military households who had borrowed usury, and they were extremely grateful to Li Yuntian in their hearts: If it weren't for Li Yuntian, I am afraid they would not have been able to repay those usury loans for the rest of their lives.
As for those military households who moved to Xiaoliuqiu Island who owed usury, their usury was not only completely exempted by the creditors, but also received a certain amount of compensation, after all, those military households had already repaid the principal, and the creditors did not suffer a loss, so they decided to settle the matter so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Li Yuntian believed that his trip to Jianning Mansion was very crucial to the relocation of Xiaoliuqiu Island, and it was precisely because of the deterrence of the Shangma Village incident that those guards in Fujian and Zhejiang did not dare to continue to make things difficult for those military households who wanted to relocate, and this played a vital role in the stability of Xiaoliuqiu Island.
Due to the embezzlement of military land and the enslavement of military households, since Yang Yu, the commander of Jianning's right guard, Jianning's right guard was beheaded as many as more than 10 middle and senior military attachés, and the rest of the military attaches were sentenced to cane punishment, imprisonment and exile according to the amount of military land occupied.
After this, the position of military attache of Jianning Right Guard was urgent, although those alternate military attachés finally came out to fill part of the vacancies, but there was still a shortage of military attachés.
In order to solve this problem, Feng Yong, the commander of the Fujian Xingdu Division, reported to the imperial court that Jianning's right guard had embezzled military land and enslaved military households, and at the same time compiled a list of military attachés promoted from Jianning's right guard military households.
After the deliberation of the members of the military cabinet, Feng Yong's list of positions was agreed, after all, the military attaches of the guard were hereditary, so they naturally had to find local military households to fill the vacancy.
In the matter of Shangma Village, Zhang Laohan is undoubtedly a lucky person, not only received a large number of congratulatory gifts when the third child of the Zhang family got married, bid farewell to the poor life and became a rich man, but also stepped into the official career and became the hundred households of the hundred households where he was located, which can be described as fame and fortune.
In fact, Feng Yong originally wanted Zhang Laohan to serve as the thousand households of the thousand households where he was located, anyway, this was just a favor, but after Li Zixi learned of this, he asked Feng Yong to act at his discretion, and euphemistically said that with Zhang Laohan's ability, he would be a hundred households at most, although the position of a thousand households was high, it was not a good thing for Zhang Laohan, and it was easy for him to lose himself in the whirlpool of power.
Feng Yong knew that Li Zixi meant Li Yuntian's thoughts, so he made Zhang Laohan a hundred households, which was more in line with the rules, Li Yuntian didn't want to break the rules of officialdom promotion because of his existence, after all, promotion by leapfrogging is an unconventional means that is easier to attract criticism.
What is especially important is that Zhang Laohan does not have the ability to become a thousand households, so if he is allowed to serve as a thousand households, he will definitely not be able to govern so many military households, and it will hurt him at that time.
At the beginning of the thorough investigation of Jianning's right guard by the Yamen of the Fujian Xingdu Division, the military attachés of the various guards under the Fujian Xingdu Division were panicked, for fear that Feng Yong would check them after he finished checking Jianning's right guard, then they would definitely be unlucky.
However, as time passed, the military attachés of those guards found that Feng Yong was just holding on to Jianning's right guard, and did not mean to check other guards, which made everyone's hanging heart finally let go.
After the documents of the imperial court beheading Yang Yu and others were sent from the capital to Jianning City, the military attaches of the offices under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Xingdu Division finally relieved, because the imperial court only severely punished Yang Yu and others and did not mention the matter of cleaning up military affairs, which means that the Shangma Village case ended with the fall of Yang Yu and other military attaches of Jianning's right guard, and did not affect other guards.
The members of the military cabinet also know that there are many drawbacks in the guards, but it is not easy to get rid of those drawbacks, and the root cause is the Ming Dynasty's military system, which not only involves tens of millions of military households but also touches the interests of the Ming nobles, so no one dares to act rashly, so they can only send Beijing officials down from time to time to clean up military affairs and beat the guards in various places.
Now that Jianning's right guard has been uprooted, Li Yuntian has the intention of chasing and beating hard, so the cabinet members naturally want to calm down from the overall situation, and appease the panicked Fujian Xingdu Division, and at the same time, it is also to appease the rest of the Ming Dynasty's capital divisions and Xingdu Divisions.
If Li Yuntian makes a big fuss about the affairs of the Fujian Xingdu Division, then the military attaches of the local guards will definitely rise up in droves for their vital interests, and those nobles of the Ming Dynasty will also unanimously deal with Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian does not want to conflict with those nobles now, so he has to retreat and use this matter to warn the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, telling them that the local guards are rotten and must be reformed.
