Chapter 182: The Second Seat of the Wako

When Yan Hong heard this, he couldn't help but admire: "This Hu Zongxian Hu Lao Duxian is really powerful. Since most of the Japanese are ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to give a way, so that people will surrender. ”

Lu Bingdao: "What the virtuous nephew has seen is good. That Xu Hai is quite powerful at sea, and if he really surrenders, the southeast will be in trouble, or he may be able to gradually overcome it. It's a pity that Governor Hu made a thousand calculations, but he missed a step. ”

It turned out that although Xu Hai promised Hu Zongxian to surrender, Xu Hai had been a Kou for many years after all, and his hands were stained with the blood of the southeastern military and civilians. It is impossible for such a heinous thief to be directly awarded an official, and even wanting to ask for a justifiable holy decree to recruit peace is very difficult for Hu Zongxian to do.

Therefore, Hu Zongxian played a trick of hiding from the world. On the one hand, he promised Xu Hai that as long as you disbanded your arms, you would be safe under the rule of my Hu. But on the other hand, he did not go through the official formalities immediately, but hoped to slowly open up the joints of the imperial court and win the court's invitation or pardon.

In this way, Xu Hai actually became a black household in the Ming Dynasty, with the fact of Zhao'an, but not the name of Zhao'an. Despite this, it is not bad that Xu Hai can set foot on the land freely on Governor Hu's territory without being chased by officers and soldiers. Xu Hai has been a thief for many years, and he has accumulated a lot of savings, and Hu Zongxian did not confiscate his illegal gains. It is not a problem for Xu Hai to be a rich man after he goes ashore.

It stands to reason that this is a happy event. But unexpectedly, within two months of going ashore, Xu Hai was taken into prison in Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang.

It is said that Hu Zongxian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, has 100,000 soldiers in his hands, and his power is monstrous, how can a small county not give Hu Duxian face? But the problem is that there are people who do not listen to evil lords. Lin Yangqian, the county governor of Shanyin, not only took Xu Hai, but also bypassed Governor Hu and went directly to the imperial court, asking for an order to kill Xu Hai!

After all, Hu Zongxian's trick at the beginning was to hide it from the top and not from the bottom. Although he allowed Xu Hai to live ashore in private and guaranteed Xu Hai's safety, from the official procedure, since he had not been formally recruited or pardoned, Xu Hai was a widow and an out-and-out pirate leader.

Lin Yangqian insisted on this, resolutely disapproved of the "illegal recruitment", and insisted on killing Xu Hai. At this moment, Hu Zongxian has a headache.

Yan Hong understood when he heard this, and asked: "Shibo, from the nephew's point of view, this matter is nothing more than a foolish magistrate who refuses to give Hu Duxian face, why did he make trouble with our Jinyi Wei again?" Let Master Hu make a note, or simply send a sentry to snatch Xu Hai out, isn't it? ”

Lu Bing shook his head and said, "Virtuous nephew, it would be nice if things were as easy as you said." This Lin Xianzun, his background is not simple, he is the magistrate of the tiger class, and his waist is very hard. He has a good reputation, and he doesn't let go of the affairs of the Japanese Kou, and Hu Duxian has no way to take him. ”

This Lin Yangqian was originally a jinshi of Jiajing's 23rd year Jiachen Branch, and was elected as a Shujishi, and he was disbanded for three years and released to Zhixian County. The magistrate of the county released after the Hanlin Museum was disbanded in the middle of the dynasty did not have to wait for a vacancy, but was delegated with a vacancy, and he could be a real power official when he came out, so it was called the tiger class, which can be described as the most powerful batch of more than 1,000 county orders in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, if you elaborate, there are more twists and turns here. Lin Yangqian's teacher was Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Hu Zongxian could be regarded as the periphery of the strict party. After all, this old Hu has no less gifts for Zhao Wenhua, and Yan Song is also used to treating him as a bridgehead for himself.

Although Wu Shan and Yan Song are both Jiangxi villagers, they are not harmonious. Therefore, Lin and Hu are not surprised that they can't pee in a pot. In this conflict, people like Lin Yangqian have been Jijishi, born on the right path, with a hard waist, and he has always been upright. This time, he occupied the righteous name of hunting and killing the Japanese invaders, not to mention his own Shangguan Hu Zongxian, even if he was an old man in the court, he dared not to sell face. Hu Zongxian really can't do anything about him.

As for sending troops to rob it, Lu Bing decisively ignored Yan Hong's idea. The soldiers of the Governor's Yamen went to the prison to snatch the Japanese out, and if Hu Zongxian really did this, it would become a self-respecting collusion with the Japanese invaders, and it would not be far from the death of a household register. If Gu Fatzi crossed over with Yan Donglai, he would remind Yan Hong that in history, Yan Shifan was accused of colluding with the Japanese Invaders.

Yan Hong heard Lu Bing say this, so he said: "Since Lin Zhixian is so powerful that even Governor Hu can't afford to provoke him, then why do we Jinyiwei have to step on this troubled water?" Governor Hu is really, and he is not reliable. Xu Hai is a wolf, presumably he has done a lot of bad things, so if he really kills it, he will kill it. It can also be regarded as a warning to other traitors. ”

Lu Bingdao: "This matter is not so simple. As far as the governor knows, Hu Duxian has already made a plan to pacify the Japanese invaders, to first lure Chen Dong, Ye Ma, and Xu Hai to surrender, and then persuade Wang Zhi to surrender. As long as Wang Zhi is willing to surrender, most of the Japanese can be pacified without a fight, and the rest of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals are difficult to achieve a big thing. At that time, I will be safe on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty. However, if Xu Hai was arrested and beheaded not long after he returned to obedience, how could the bandits be willing to surrender? When the time comes, the war will continue, the sword soldiers will rise again, and the Ming Dynasty will not be able to live in peace. And when Xu Hai returned to Shun, some of the elites of the old army under his command did not follow ashore, but observed the situation at sea. Now that Xu Hai was taken, those people clamored to attack the state and county to rescue Xu Hai. Thanks to the mediation of Xu Hai's wife, Wang Cuiqiao, those thieves were suppressed. If Xu Haizhen is killed, I am afraid that the southeast coast will have to be turned upside down by the Japanese invaders. ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he understood how powerful this thing was. Although he lacked historical knowledge in his previous life, when he was playing the Age of Discovery, he heard the ancient fat man say that China also had a majestic maritime merchant, but it was not Li Huamei, but Wang Zhiwang Wufeng. Including Oda Nobunaga, the big fool of Owari in Nobunaga's Nobozo, when he bought an arquebus from a foreigner, it is said that Wang Nao was the matchmaker.

After all, Yan Hong is a young man in the 21st century, and he thought that since Wang Zhi was a big arms dealer, if Hu Zongxian could really subdue him, then not only would there be one less big trouble in the southeast, but he could also buy foreign guns and cannons from foreigners through him. In this way, is my Ming Dynasty more powerful? It's not just that I don't know what the road is for, it seems that Wang Zhicheng was cut down soon after he surrendered, and this matter was never done.

Therefore, he asked again: "Since Lin Yangqian is from the Hanlin Academy, he is also well-informed. He is a county magistrate, and he also knows that it is very important to appease the Japanese Kou, but why do he want to sing against the governor of the lake? Kill Xu Hai, if the Japanese invaders land to retaliate, what benefits can he ask for by the Lin County Order? ”

Lu Bingdao: "How can he not know the benefits and disadvantages of the Dao! But he only needs to fight for such a reputation for killing the Japanese Kou! Besides, his Shanyin County is relying on the Fucheng, and if the Japanese invade the territory, he must first ask the prefect about his responsibility. Moreover, the soldiers and horses in the city of Nafu are not weak, and the Japanese generally can't beat the city. Even if he was dismissed for the crime of the Japanese invaders, he just tried to show his exploits in killing the Japanese invaders, and it would not be difficult to recover from it, and he could get more false fame. ”

As soon as Lu Bing said this, Yan Hong also understood. These officials in the Ming Dynasty seem to love to cut down the people who have been recruited? Of course, compared to those Japanese leaders who are showing off their might at sea with hundreds or even thousands of outlaws, it is much easier to kill a man who is ready to surrender and go ashore, which can be described as low-cost and high-output.

The question is that with such a toss, who else dares to surrender. Kill Xu Hai today, and of course you can cut Wang Zhi tomorrow. In the end, it was the bandits who were willing to change the evil and follow the good, and they fell into the blood mold first. Doesn't this provoke all kinds of Japanese criminals to work hard with the court to the end? In the end, it is the people of the country who suffer.

Therefore, when he heard that Lin Zhixian was iron-clad, Yan Hong couldn't help but curse in his heart, what a bad official. Xu Hai, the leader of the Japanese bandits, must have done a lot of bad things, and he is innocent of thousands of cuts. However, in the general direction of recruiting and quelling the Japanese rebellion, all minor problems have to give way to the general direction. Especially, if you Lin Zhixian have the ability, you can lead your troops to the sea to catch a widow and come back, even if you fry him raw and drink him, no one will blame you. But this Xu Hai was brought to the shore by Governor Hu with great effort, although the procedures for recruiting an have not yet been completed, but what are you selling in such a hurry? Anyway, they can't burn you on your head, right?

However, judging from Lu Bing's description, Yan Hong also knows that there are many factors involved in this matter, which is not trivial. He asked Lu Bing: "Shibo, although this Lin Yangqian is indeed hateful, what does this matter have to do with our Jinyiwei?" ”

Lu Bingzheng said: "Speaking of this matter, it's not easy to say that it has nothing to do with our brocade. Why did the country set up Jinyiwei? That's to protect the country and the people! Although we don't need to charge into battle, it is a matter of national security, so how can we stay out of it! The southern and northern captives are all in great trouble in our country, and the Japanese invade the southeastern anointed land, so that my Ming Dynasty is not able to pay taxes, and in the long run, the treasury is empty and the border army is not paid, and I am afraid that there will be elbow and armpit troubles. Therefore, it is not a trivial matter to put down the Japanese and the Japanese. At present, whether this southeast plague gradually subsides or becomes more and more intense can be said to depend on Xu Hai's life and death. I'm waiting for the brocade guards, how can I sit idly by! ”

Yan Hong heard Lu Bing say such a selfless and awe-inspiring voice: "Shibo said it well! ”

Lu Bing said again: "Recently, Wang Cuiqiao, Xu Hai's wife, has arrived in Beijing, but she also asked for my door. In my opinion, I'm afraid I'll have to bother you to go through it. After you arrived in Sanyin, try your best to get Xu Hai out of death row, and then find a way to release the people. Lin Yangqian, on the one hand, is the magistrate of the tiger class, and on the other hand, he carries the name of a clean official, under the banner of asking for the people's life to kill the widows, who would dare to touch him? After thinking about it, only you dare to touch this thorn. ”
