Chapter 727: Purging Xuanda

In addition to describing the battle, Yan Hong also hoped that the emperor would send capable ministers to Xuanda as soon as possible to take over the governorship. After all, this place is a nine-border defense, and it cannot be left without an owner for a day, Yan Qincha is a half-person militarily after all, and he can't support the overall situation.

Yan Hong's writing of the war report was also painstaking. In fact, this time against the Mongols, he, the Qincha and Yang Shun, the governor, had already secretly made stumbling blocks, Yang Shun tried to kill people with a knife first, Yan Hong drove people to be cannon fodder to kill people with a knife, and finally Yang Shun and his standard camp were completely promoted by Yan Hong himself. But on the surface, the two infighting between the Qin Cha and the governor not only hurt the face of the country, but also no one can take advantage of the lawsuit, not to mention that Yang Shun is nominally Yan Song's godson, and Yan Hong himself is the grandson of the governor of Yan's mansion. Therefore, after Yan Hong killed Yang Shun, he instead reported to him that he was overseered and killed the enemy, and the end of the heroic martyrdom, although Yang Shun lost his son, he had face, and Yan Ge's old face also flew bright.

Yan Hong thought of this, and while stamping his seal on the back of the chapter, he muttered: "Uncle Yang, what about these bad things you did in Xuanda before, I covered it up for you, after all, you still have to take care of my grandfather's face, right?" I won't mention anything about you being prodded by Yan Ru and trying to harm me, but I will report your martyrdom in front of the emperor, and my descendants will be blessed. You can go in peace. ”

After writing and sealing the three chapters, Yan Hong wrote letters to Yan Song, Yan Shifan and Lu Bing respectively, subcontracted them in a unified manner, and then called Tao Zhi. He was ordered to send a recital and a letter back to Beijing. This time, he cut first and then played, and the major events on Xuanda's side have basically been settled. The rest is some trivial aftermath work, so his mood is not as nervous as in Jinan.

Yang Shun used to cover the sky at Xuanda. Most of the local civil and military forces tend to be inflammatory, afraid of their power, and desperately stutter. Even so, because Yang Shun relied on the identity of the old righteous son of Yan Ge, he was arrogant, arbitrary, and unscrupulous in his greed and perversion of the law. The benefits of officialdom, despite the desperate squeezing, knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow. After all, it's still limited, and if your family eats too ugly, others will have less. In addition, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, most officials still have some professional ethics in addition to the unspoken rules. In this way, most people in Xuanda's civil and military affairs are actually more afraid than respectful of Yang Shun. Now that Yang Shun died on the battlefield of Malianbao, most of everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the new Qincha Yan Hong is young, he is also the eldest grandson of Yan Ge. It's not a little bit of a show, and it seems to be a good match. Especially in the battle of Malianbao, in addition to Ma Fang and Ma Lu, the others were either sent elsewhere by Yang Shun. did not catch up with the war; Either follow Yang Shun to stop at the Yellow Wolf Slope and delay the military plane, which really has to be investigated. Not to mention meritorious service, it's good not to be dismissed. But Yan Qincha had no revenge for this. On the contrary, he added some credit to everyone in the recital, that is, Zhang Chengxun, who was ordered to guard Datong. also got a comment of "patrolling the rear, quelling the trouble of the white lotus, and urging the distribution of grain and grass and reinforcements, so that the former enemy soldiers can rest assured that they can go into battle". In this way, all the civil and military scholars know how to report it, who will go to Yang Shun's funeral to ask questions? Yan Hong made it clear again, Yang Junmen died in the king's affairs, and the kid is here for the time being, but there are many affairs, and I hope you will help me more. When I went back, the imperial court sent capable people, and if the accounts were not clear, it would not be fun. Therefore, all the civil and military forces also tried their best to cooperate with Yan Hong to complete the work. The death of Governor Yang Shun did not bring much substantial damage to Xuanda. And those ordinary border soldiers and people who have been bullied by Yang Shun and his standard battalion for a long time are even more secretly celebrated. Seeing that the newcomer Yan Qincha was very happy in distributing military salaries and rewards, he was not as strict as in the past, and he was even more thankful.

When the military and political affairs are basically completed, it is important to do private affairs for Emperor Jiajing. The rest of Yan Hong's days were mainly to blow water and fart with the king of Jin and the king of Dai, and by the way, he visited the county kings, generals, and lieutenants to further conduct sample surveys on the living conditions of the clan in Shanxi. He paid out of his own pocket and invited the clan to eat a few meals in batches. For those low-level clans who are so poor that they are scumbags, the last time the royal palace organized everyone to greet the Qincha together, it was gritting their teeth and cutting their flesh as a courtesy; This time, Qin Cha took the initiative to set up a banquet, which was a good opportunity not to eat for nothing. At this moment, the poor clans in Shanxi were grateful for Qincha's kindness.

Yan Hong also had many contacts with the Jin merchants to discuss the plan of opening a business name and opening up the sea to do business. The hundreds of merchants arrested earlier were also released. There is still leisure time, so I accompany Sun Yuerong to talk in the back house of the Yamen, or take the concubines to visit the famous places in the province, see the Longshan Grottoes, the Nine Dragon Wall of Huayan Temple, or walk outside the plug to watch the moon, and the days are also free.

About half a month later, Beijing City came to the will, long live the Lord praised Yan Hong for doing this properly, the six departments of the cabinet discussed, Yang Shun was loyal to the king, and the court gave a thousand taels of silver for the funeral expenses. He has been transferred to the former Nanjing Military Department, and Lang Jiangdong has been appointed as the governor of Xuanda. Let Yan Hong wait for a few more days, and after Jiangdong comes, he will return to Beijing to deliver. As for the merits of the bloody battles in Malianbao and other places, the Ministry of War will review it again and raise the reward separately. As for the captured White Lotus Sect bandit leaders Yan Ru, He Xiaohui and others, after Yan Hong was severely tortured with brocade guards, they were executed on the spot, so as to avoid more lives.

Yan Hong was relieved to see that the emperor's tone was not bad. At this time, Yang Shun's two sons also came to Datong to mourn, and when they saw their father's corpse, they naturally cried. Yan Hong also comforted these two brothers.

After everyone cried, Yan Hong invited the two to the back room, closed the door, and discussed the disposal of the property purchased by Yang Shun during the Xuanda period. When the two Yang Gongzi heard about the property, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they followed the little Yama king. Yan Hong coughed and said to the two brothers: "Two brothers, Uncle Yang is an honest official in Xuanda, but over the years, he has also accumulated some property. There are about tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they will be handed over to the two brothers when they turn around. There are also some granges and shops, equivalent to silver taels, about more than 100,000 yuan, but they can't take it away in a hurry. I don't know what the two brothers want to do? ”

Yang Shun's two sons heard that there were tens of thousands of silver, and they were already quite happy. I also heard that there are still shops, and even the pain of losing my father has dissipated a little. The eldest son hurriedly said: "The eldest master of Qincha gets along very well with his father, and he hopes to give him some advice." ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "In this way, I will dare to suggest." These shops and fields are all in Shanxi, and if you sit on the ground to collect money, it will be troublesome to come and go. If you sell it for cash. It's just that although Uncle Yang had some dealings with Jin merchants before his death, I heard that there were disputes over business, and there were also discords. And the sale of the farmhouse can't be fanfare, so that outsiders know, otherwise it will affect my uncle's reputation, if it is known by the imperial court, those mad dog-like officials will have to be arrested, and even my grandfather Yan Ge's reputation will be damaged. Fortunately, after my younger brother came to Shanxi, I also had some contacts with Jin merchants, and I was willing to help the two brothers contact the buyer. It's just that the price is about a bit discounted. ”

As long as Yang Shun's two sons get the silver, lest they have to share it with other brothers and relatives in their hometown, they should say: "Make it, make it, then it will be annoying for Lao Qin to send the eldest master to pull the strings." My brother will be rewarded. ”

So Yan Hong was in the middle and contacted two Jin businessmen to buy Yang Shun's property in Shanxi in batches. However, these two Jin merchants are actually just agents, but in fact, the Yang Shun industry that was bought was a business jointly opened by Yan Hong and several major Jin merchants. Yan Hong made some clever words, and bought Yang Shun's business with a market price of more than 200,000 yuan for only 85,000 taels of silver, and the Yang brothers also rewarded him with 7,000 taels of media, making a lot of money inside and out, and let Yang Shun's two sons thank him a thousand times, support the coffin, and go back to his hometown with the silver.

A few days later, the new governor of Xuanda, Jiangdong, arrived. This person is a Jinshi in the eighth year of Jiajing, more than half a hundred years old, 20 years ago he had fought with the Mongols in Xuanda, and had fought in the southeast, he can be called a famous Confucian general of the dynasty, and the level of military affairs, and that Yang Shun can not be said to be the same year. When he heard that the governor of Biansai had been killed, he hurried his horse and hurried from Nanjing, and three horses were tired and killed along the way. Yan Hong saw that this person was capable and sophisticated, but he was also relieved, so he handed over the affairs of Xuanda one by one, especially repeatedly explained, saying that Ma Fang, Ma Lu and others are all famous generals, so they might as well be reused. After that, Yan Hong and his entourage returned to Beijing triumphantly under the escort of Yu Dayou's Fujian army and Jinyi Guard. (To be continued......)
