Chapter 65: You've got water in your brain, aren't you?
The two excerpts of the Datong General Military Office and the Governor are relatively general.
It roughly tells the story of thousands of officers and soldiers on Yanghe East Road, under the banner of making trouble, storming the official mansion, burning, killing and looting, and finally being suppressed by the Jinyi Wei Tiqi and killed on the spot.
And the excerpt handed over by Lu Fan was extremely detailed.
In the excerpt, it is recorded that the garrisons and ethics of various places on the East Road, over the years, have wantonly exploited and oppressed the people on the East Road, accumulated private troops, and hoarded various criminal evidences of soldiers, armor, money and food.
Among them, the most serious is the fornication of slaves, who continuously smuggled strategic materials such as salt and iron, weapons, armor and even bows and crossbows into the territory ruled by the Later Jin!
In Lu Fan's excerpts, after the Jinyi Wei secret agents found out these incriminating evidence, the garrison and ethics of the East Road, led by Li An and others, directly rebelled in order not to be questioned by the imperial court.
They first deceived the guards at the city gate in the name of asking for money, and then played the banner of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand", and began to burn, kill and loot, and storm the government.
After that, the Beizhen Fu Si Ti Cavalry was transferred to the city to quell the rebellion, and all the rebels were killed in one hour and completely pacified.
Behind the fold, there is the signature of the chief official of the Yanghe East Road Military Reserve Mansion and the prefect's yamen, which guarantees the authenticity of this fold.
Later, a list is attached.
On the list, the various assets and value estimates after the Jinyi Guard confiscated the traitor's family property are listed in detail.
Chongzhen watched this recital for a long time.
At first, the anger on Chongzhen's face was difficult to hide.
Exploiting and oppressing the people, Chongzhen has some bottom in his heart, after all, even in the prosperous era of the Han and Tang Dynasties, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are always killed.
But the garrisons in various parts of the East Road fornicated with slaves, smuggled and treason, and he couldn't tolerate this!
Especially when he saw the sentence "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand", he was even more angry.
What does this mean? I have just ascended the throne for less than a year, I am diligent in government and love the people every day, and I live a simple life, and the Ming Dynasty is about to usher in Zhongxing.
But then, when he saw the list attached at the end, especially when he saw the specific silver number, Chongzhen's face was a little stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but show a smile.
One million two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, plus some other confiscated antique toys, jewelry, jade pendants, rare treasures, etc., the total value is not less than two million taels of silver.
Especially with such a large amount of property, Lu Fan has already sent a brocade-clothed guard to escort him, and he will arrive in Beijing in a few days.
Seeing this, the smile on Chongzhen's face was even more difficult to hide.
With such a large amount of input, Inspector Yuan's five-year plan for Pingliao can be completed more easily!
Lu Fan, what a blessing for me!
Although he is younger and more aggressive, in terms of his ability to do things, the Manchu Dynasty is really unsurpassed!
Although Chongzhen still felt that killing more than 4,000 officers and soldiers at one time was a bit too much, compared to the income of two million taels of silver, all this was nothing at all!
Since he ascended the throne, after quelling the eunuch rebellion, he has been plagued by the four words of emptiness of the treasury, and the biggest problem he encountered in the court every day was the lack of silver.
And the wealth sent by Lu Fan is definitely a send-off in the snow, which solves his urgent need!
Even, he couldn't help but think that if this kind of rebel army could come a few more times, and the Jinyi Guards copied a few more, the treasury might be able to fill up at that time, right?
Of course, he also knows that this situation is unrealistic, if it is so chaotic, wouldn't the entire Ming Dynasty be completely chaotic?
Handing Lu Fan's recital, the expression on Chongzhen's face was a little strange.
was both angry and a little happy, coughed dryly, and said, "Let's take a look, how do you think Aiqing should deal with this matter?"
Shi Fenglai, the previous cabinet chief, has been dismissed by Chongzhen, and the current cabinet chief assistant Li Guo, after carefully reading the contents of the excerpt with several other cabinet elders, only then did he cautiously raise his head, wanting to figure out His Majesty's thoughts.
After noticing that the emperor did not have much anger, but a little urgency in his eyes, he suddenly understood.
How many people Jinyiwei killed, His Majesty didn't care about it, all he cared about was when the wealth of two million taels of silver would enter the treasury!
After the officials above the third rank in the DPRK and China read them one by one, there were officials who could not stand up at the moment, and went out of the crowd and directly impeached.
Charges such as being unruly, killing innocents indiscriminately, and causing trouble to the place were all detained on Lu Fan's head, and in the end, Lu Fan's eight major crimes were listed, and he was directly compared to Wei Zhongxian's second!
Many courtiers immediately echoed their words, and they all got up to impeach Lu Fan, wanting to take this opportunity to bring Lu Fan down and completely cut off the sharp blade of Jinyiwei on their heads!
"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Lu Fan's killing is too heavy!"
Wang Yan, the servant of the household department, also spoke, as the second-in-command of the household department, he can represent the meaning of the household department to a large extent, and his words carry a lot of weight.
As soon as he spoke, even Chongzhen listened carefully.
"Ang Lee and others rebelled, which is naturally the most evil. Dan Chen believes that most of the thousands of officers and soldiers on Yanghe East Road are coerced and helpless to follow the thieves, and after the first evil is eliminated, the main thing should be to pacify, and the Jinyi guard will kill them all, which is really too heavy!"
"Jin Yiwei, after all, he is in charge of the prison and has privileges, if he stays in the place, it will inevitably cause great pressure on the local government, leaving the capital division, lack of control, cholera local people, it is absolutely inevitable!"
"Therefore, the minister implores His Majesty to issue an order to recall Lu Fan and the elite cavalry of the Beizhen Fusi to the Beijing Division, and strictly guard them, don't let them leave Beijing, the local people of cholera!"
As soon as he finished saying this, the court, which had been talking a little messy just now, suddenly fell completely silent.
Wang Yan, you stepped on a horse, your brain got water, right?
It was not easy to drive Jinyiwei out of the Beijing Division, and you have to recall it again?
Recruit you back to see you off!?
I haven't entered enough prison, and I want to go in again to experience the tricks inside?
His words touched the pain points of many ministers in the court, and it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and one by one, the important ministers who had been in the mood of watching the drama also spoke one after another.
"Wang Yan, what you just said, this official doesn't agree! Jinyiwei's duty to deal with those who plot rebellion, and it is also allowed by my Ming law to kill the rebels in battle, so how can I say that it is too heavy?"
"That's right!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites also echoed his words, and said: "As for what you said before, Lu Fan is arrogant and domineering, and he is a disaster for the place, it is even more nonsense! As far as the minister knows, since Lu Fan took office, he has leveled the mountain thieves, opened up wasteland, and gave porridge to help the displaced people, which is not a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, why did he harm the people?"
"That's it! Besides, the border area is not stable now, there are Jinyi guards in the border town to investigate the foreign military situation, for my Ming Dynasty, there is a hundred benefits and no harm, and it is not a tyrannical thing to recall the Beijing division to be idle?"
