Chapter 509: War and Uncertainty
As soon as Yan Hong gave the order, the Jinyi guards and the officers and soldiers responded in unison, and they wanted to arrest them. Those talents and people couldn't help but feel a little frightened when they saw that these people didn't look like they were scaring people, but like they wanted to play for real. Although they had the courage to intercept the Qincha, half of them estimated that they relied on this fame, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to move without permission, and they would never be spared if they moved their country. But now looking at Yan Hong's appearance of not caring about anything, he is afraid of being stunned. Yes, if your family is taken to prison and tortured, no matter if you can resist the confession or not, what's the good thing? Even if Yan Hong is impeached and removed from office in the future, it seems that no one will compensate me for being beaten like this. Like Yang Jisheng's iron-blooded fierceness, the Sven warriors who are willing to torture are very few after all, and most of them have the courage to fight a Taiping fist. was threatened by Yan Hong, his voice became quieter, and he didn't even dare to lose the stone.
Kang Rulin was in a hurry this time, so he had to say: "Qin is slow and slow, these people, the old man will persuade them to see if he can let them disperse." ”
Seeing Kang Rulin's move, the corners of Hu Zongxian's mouth twitched slightly. When the former gang made trouble with the governor's yamen, he also thought about relying on this inspector to disperse the people. After all, Lao Kang is the student in charge of the school, and he can get rid of the fame of these people. Without fame, this group of people is nothing, so they dare not provoke Xuedao when they are idle. In such an occasion, a learning of the Tao is more effective than a battalion leader.
As a result, after Kang Rulin heard about this, he shirked it in every possible way, and with many excuses, he refused to take action to relieve the siege, and let Hu Zongxian's yamen be besieged.
Okay, wait until today Yan Hong is ready to play a scoundrel and take people. He stepped forward. Stop these people. To say that these showmen have nothing to do with him. Hu Zongxian didn't believe it much.
Seeing that Kang Rulin urged the horse to come to the front of the literati team, he said: "You have listened, now that Yan Qincha, who was ordered by the imperial court to inspect the military affairs in the southeast, has arrived in Hangzhou, you dare to rush into the Qincha Taoist team, don't you want to live?" Quickly go back home, study the Four Books and Five Classics, and when you get to Enke, you will gain fame. Shining on the lintel is the right way. It is not something that you can interfere in at will in the major affairs of the DPRK and China, let alone offend the Qincha, and you should not make an example. ”
The talents saw that the wolf-like officers and soldiers behind Kang Rulin glared angrily, as long as they didn't listen, they were afraid that the other party would immediately take over people, and their momentum would be much weaker. When some people saw Kang Rulin coming out, they looked at each other and retreated backwards. Yan Hong saw it in his eyes, and suddenly said, "These people rushed into Ben Qincha's team. Could it be that the observer was ready to let them go like this? At least a few leaders must be removed from their reputations, otherwise how can the face of the court remain? ”
Kang Rulin had no choice but to say to those scholars: "Don't leave quickly." Do you really wait for the fame to be removed before you know that the Tao is powerful? ”
If those people really don't leave this frame and make a name for themselves, it will all be ruined. At that moment, they didn't even dare to scold anymore, and they scattered and fled. Seeing this scene, Hu Zongxian sneered: "It's a good observation, and it's really a good means, and it breaks this broken boot formation in just a few words, which is much easier to use than my pacesetter." This official admires it very much, next time if these people still come to make trouble, he will count on Kang Guan to come to relieve the siege, presumably at that time, Kang Lao will never shirk. ”
Kang Rulin also knew that today's appearance would no longer be able to push it in the future, and he was remembered by Hu Zongxian, which could be called thankless, but he had to give it up. said in his mouth: "The lower official neglected to discipline the students, so that he obstructed the official affairs of the marshal, and he was guilty of it." ”
Everyone returned to the governor's yamen, and Hu Zongxian ordered a banquet to be set up for Yan Hong, and after three rounds of drinking, he couldn't help but talk about this affair. Hu Zongxian said: "Speaking of which, this southeast guard is really unusable, and it is difficult to do anything in battle. Thanks to Qi Yuanjing's training of a new army, it is very effective, if the Japanese invaders come, they will definitely win a complete victory. ”
Yan Hong learned from Deng Zilong that the fight against the Japanese is basically based on recruitment, and Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang both recruited troops to fight against the Japanese. Yu Dayou was the chief soldier, but Hu Zongxian only gave the establishment of one battalion, on the contrary, Qi Jiguang, the deputy chief soldier, gave enough two battalions, and he never stopped him from asking for money and grain. Now Lao Hu keeps praising Qi Jiguang, and he doesn't say a word about Yu Dayou, what is the status of this General Yu in front of Hu Zongxian, I don't know.
Qi Jiguang arched his hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." It all depends on the support of the commander, my two battalions are not short of food and salary, and the military salary is paid monthly, how can the sons and daughters still not have to die? However, the little ones are just charging into battle, fighting against each other, and it is all thanks to the boss's strategic planning and scheduling that we can break the thieves. ”
Tan Lun, who participated in the politics of Zhejiang's military preparation road, said: "Although the two generals Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang are both elite, but now the Japanese are powerful and entrenched in Zhoushan. According to the subordinate officer's view, it is indispensable to prepare troops for war, but when the war ends, it should be done cautiously. ”
Zhao Weijie, the political envoy of Zhejiang, shook his head and said: "Brother Erhua's words are also fallacious! Although there are many widows, how can they be a blow? Since Hu Dashuai passed through the southeast, he has rectified the soldiers and horses, and trained the new army, and now our army has trained tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are enough ammunition, and there are more righteous people who are willing to pay 200,000 taels. When he came, our army happened to capture one of them, and then ploughed the pavilion and swept the hole, leveling the nest of the Japanese robbers, eliminating this stubborn disease for the country, and making immortal achievements, did the marshal think so? ”
The two Zhejiang provinces transferred the salt envoy Sidu and the envoy Bai Tingye said: "Exactly." Now the salt merchants in the city heard that someone wanted to let Wang Zhi go, and people's hearts fluctuated and there were many discussions. If it weren't for the fact that the lower officials had always had some friendship with them, this group of people would probably have to make a fuss. These people also let out the words, if Wang Wufeng is beheaded, they are willing to help pay 60,000 taels for the crusade against the Japanese invaders; But if someone lets Wang Zhi go, they will have to open up their families and make a mess, maybe they will have to fight the lawsuit to Jingshi, and at that time, even the boss is afraid that it will be difficult to explain. Just to say, if the salt merchants collectively strike this year, I can't pay taxes on salt, and I can't explain it to the imperial court. ”
Bai Ting, as a member of the three grades, is also one of the top ten figures in the officialdom of Zhejiang, and the others, as a provincial Yantai, are the palm seal officials of the richest yamen in the entire Zhejiang, and the weight of his words is by no means inferior to that of Fang Bo of a province. What's more, the problem he raised is also extremely serious, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is very dependent on the salt tax, if there is really such a thing as a salt merchant boycott, not to say that he listened in vain, even Hu Zongxian will be difficult to deal with.
In this era, there are merchants who drill the sky and cave gardens all over the place, and the salt merchants in Hangzhou actually do not have a few Hangzhou people, and they are basically composed of Huizhou merchants. Wang Zhi is also a native of She County, Huizhou, and the two sides are considered township parties. Now these township parties are also actively wandering, putting pressure on the government to behead Wang Zhi, which is also an extremely rare situation in this era of great nostalgia.
Yan Hong said secretly: If there is no pusher to manipulate this, I won't believe it. These salt merchants feel wronged when they take a penny to the imperial court on weekdays, and they can even avoid regular taxes, how can they generously take 60,000 taels of silver out this time, Fang Bo and Yantai in a province are against Hu Zongxian, and this Hu Shibo is afraid that it is not very comfortable now.
On the banquet, it gradually divided into two factions. Tan Lun belongs to the idea that both civil and military hands should be prepared, but Zhao'an is the top, the battle is the bottom, peace is the mainstay, and suppression is supplemented. Most of the officials at the table insisted on extermination, and they would never recruit peace, and the sooner Wang Zhi was beheaded, the better.
Yan Hong looked at it clearly, many of these main battle factions were estimated to have been bribed by maritime merchants, so they actively demanded the beheading of Wang Zhi in order to sabotage the matter of Zhao'an opening the sea. It's not easy to tell. Tan Lun and his faction are lonely and lonely, and they are gradually at a disadvantage. Qi Jiguang is a good gentleman, whoever says it is right, whoever says it makes sense, I just charge into battle, I have no idea about other things.
As for Hu Zongxian, who is now the supreme governor of the southeast, he did not say a word, but was silent. Although he has great authority, he has a lot of power to restrain him. At the beginning, because he was the governor of Zhejiang, Zhejiang deliberately did not have a governor, and he was afraid that the governor and the governor would compete for power, which would lead to many orders and be at a loss. The people, money, and military power of the southeast are all in one. But the so-called high power has become a target. Because of this, many magistrates have been full of opinions about Hu Zongxian.
Now that these officials have received the support of local forces, coupled with the death of Zhao Wenhua, Hu Zongxian has no backer, and some people want to use Wang Zhi's incident to say goodbye to Hu Zongxian. If Wang Zhi is not killed, then these people can join Hu Zongxian on the charge of colluding with the Japanese and raising their own respect; And if Wang Zhi is killed, no matter what kind of erosion the southeast becomes, the black cauldron is also Hu Zongxian's back, and it is not to blame Fang Bo and Xuedao.
That Zhao Weijie was very eloquent, talked eloquently, gradually suppressed the Lord and the faction, and turned his head to ask Yan Hong: "Xiqing is now under the emperor's order, inspecting the military equipment in the southeast, I don't know what he thinks about this matter of the Japanese Bandits?" ”
Of course, Yan Hong himself is a strong advocate of Zhao'an, and if he shows the majesty of an angel, it will not be difficult to suppress these remarks. It's just that as a grassroots salesman in his previous life, he knows very well that if he doesn't let people speak, he can't solve the problem. Especially now that Wang Zhi has been in Wang Bengu's hands, it is really not interesting to quarrel with people here.
Therefore, he said to him: "It's not a secret, Ben Qincha is still young, and his knowledge is not as good as that of your bosses." According to my original idea, if you can recruit security smoothly, it is better to recruit security, so as not to use swords and soldiers and damage the soldiers. However, the situation in the southeast is clear to you elders better than me. Whether it is to suppress or appease, we have to think in the long run, not recklessly. Anyway, if he can recruit An Wangzhi, Ben Qincha will naturally have light in front of the Son of Heaven. Even if you kill Wang Zhi, the credit for this giant is not mine? It's just that it's about Jiangnan's fathers, and there must be a foolproof strategy. (To be continued......)
