280 Buying Xining (2-in-1)
"Admiral Wise!"
After listening to Shen Yichen's arrangement, Meng Da used his best strength to shout out this voice.
From the moment he chose to report Commander Dou Yi of the guard, Meng Da never thought that he still had his life to live, let alone that the other party could be punished so quickly.
The literati often say that a warrior dies for a confidant, and a warrior can also go to the fire for the revered leader!
"Admiral Wise!"
With Meng Da's voice taking the lead, in an instant, the entire Fuzhou Sanwei station sounded a frenzied shout like a tsunami.
Many people even burst into tears with excitement, Shen Yichen not only helped himself and his brothers get justice, but also made up for the arrears of military salaries, but also gave his parents, wives and children a way to live.
The grace of saving lives should be knotted with grass and rings.
"This official has only done his part, and you are the heroes who are loyal to the country."
"The Ming army is mighty!"
Is it really a matter of pride to punish criminals and make up for military salaries?
Shen Yichen has never been proud of this, precisely because the officials in front of him have done too badly, and when he encounters a normal behavior of his own, it seems so commendable.
The three guards of Fuzhou belonged to David, and originally had a scale of more than 20,000 people, and in the case of arrears of military salaries and no treatment, more than half of the lost soldiers were still stationed in the camp for defense, which was already called conscientious.
They are the heroes who maintain the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty!
"The Ming army is mighty!"
The same battle call of the Ming army shouted from the mouths of everyone present, not only the soldiers of Fuzhou Sanwei, but also Feng Zheng, Wu Rui, and even Canghuo Tou and others.
For the Ming soldiers, the one who stood beside him and shouted the same battle call was the Pao Ze brothers who lived and died together.
Shen Yichen wanted to tell the Fuzhou Sanwei soldiers present that after he assumed the post of commander, he would no longer be a pure civil servant, but a military attache who shared honor and disgrace with them!
With the earth-shattering sound of battle horns, Shen Yichen asked Feng Zheng to stay to deal with the follow-up matters, and he led his entourage of cronies to leave the Fuzhou Sanwei station. Winning the trust of the officers and men of the Fujian Guard Station is only the beginning for him, and how to deal with the aftermath is the really tricky thing.
As soon as he walked out of the barracks gate, Bian He bowed his hand to Shen Yichen and pleaded guilty: "The proprietor, my subordinates have been, and they didn't stop you from killing Dou Weisi. ”
As a staff member, Bian He's duty is to give the most rational judgment and advice to the lord. First cut and then played the three military generals of the imperial court, once this matter is spread to the Beijing Division, you can imagine what kind of uproar it will set off.
This is different from the situation when he was in Shandong and killed Meng Anwei, the county commander. No matter how noble and martial he is, during the Orthodox Dynasty, he has not yet reached the point of a third-grade scarlet robe general, which is not as good as a seven-rank county order.
And military power means ruling the core, and under normal circumstances, the emperor will not tolerate such a thing no matter what.
But man is not a rational thinking machine, Bian He himself is a Fujianese, Dou Yi and Song Zhang, the political envoy of Youbu, can be said to be the culprits who caused the riots in Fujian. I don't know how many fathers and villagers died under their exploitation and encirclement.
Since the sixth year of orthodoxy, Bian He has seen countless scenes of wives being separated and families ruined, and even he himself is a victim of the Fujian government's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
Therefore, in the face of Shen Yichen's questioning and killing of Dou Yi, Bian He's heart was full of happiness and hatred. When the blinded resentment fades, and a sense of guilt from dereliction of duty comes to my heart, I should persuade the proprietor!
Not only Bian He, but Canghuo and the others also lowered their heads and confessed their mistakes to Shen Yichen. Since he worshiped Shen Yichen as the master, he naturally had to give priority to the interests of the main family, and the consequences of killing Dou Yi were endless, which may not be inferior to the actions of the king back then.
"There is no need to feel guilty, even if you stop it, I will kill Dou Yi, this is what Lixin must do."
When he executed the king, Shen Yichen was regarded as having personal emotions, he could not tolerate King Lu, who had harmed millions of people, and was finally forgiven by the court and got away with it.
But this time he killed Dou Yi, Shen Yichen was not controlled by emotions, on the contrary, he always knew very well what he was doing.
Before leaving Fujian, Shen Yichen wanted to stabilize the situation by himself based on the intelligence information he received at that time, coupled with his own historical perspective, and also received the "mercy" of the imperial court.
Those who are coerced are pardoned, and those who follow are recruited, and only the evil is punished!
However, the subsequent bad news came one after another, especially the rise of the peasant rebel army led by Deng Maoqi, which made Shen Yichen understand that if he wanted to reach a separate Zhao'an agreement with Ye Zongliu, he might not be able to change the pattern of riots in the entire Fujian.
Ye Zongliu said that for the other rebel armies, the premise of recruiting an is to let them understand that there is only a dead end to fight against them.
How do you get the leaders of the rebels to understand this?
Answer: Eucalyptus is sword and sword, iron and blood!
Fujian Sanwei is the sharp blade in Shen Yichen's hands.
That's why, even if he knew that there was a huge risk, Shen Yichen had to kill Dou Yi to win the trust of the soldiers in the guard, so as to complete the rectification of military affairs in the fastest time.
If Dou Yi does not die, his morale cannot be improved. If Jiang Fucheng, Deng Maoqi and others are more decisive, and Fuzhou Mansion is captured by the rebel army, it is only a matter of time.
At that time, whether it was for Shen Yichen personally, or for the entire Ming Dynasty, it would be a failure!
There is no such thing as an absolutely safe way to war, let alone a situation in which your side is at a disadvantage. If you want to turn the tide, you have to take dangerous moves, Shen Yichen is a gambler in his bones!
"The proprietor, if you can establish a letter like this, how will the court explain it?"
Bian He was not a stupid person, he could understand why Shen Yichen had to do this.
But if he can understand, the court will not understand, and the emperor will not understand.
Compared with using the minimum price to avoid casualties caused in the process of counterinsurgency, the superior cares more about Shen Yichen transgressing the rules.
"There's someone who can help us cover up."
"Hello father-in-law?"
Bian He asked rhetorically, the only person who can influence the government of the Beijing government is Xining.
And nominally, Xining is more like the minister of the "Qincha", and he has the power to supervise Shen Yichen's military affairs.
If you want to cover up the killing of the three military ministers of the imperial court, you have to be happy.
"That's right, it's Xining."
After receiving Shen Yichen's confirmation, Bian He still couldn't understand a little.
"But the proprietor, how can we guarantee that Xining will help us cover up, this is too heavy to expose."
Xining and Shen Yichen have nothing to do with each other, if it weren't for the emperor's appointment for this counterinsurgency, the two might not even have a little intersection.
Covering up and killing the three members of the imperial court, not to mention that the relationship is not deep, even if they are cronies and henchmen, they dare not guarantee that the other party can afford to take risks.
Why did Xining do this, or rather, what kind of bargaining chips could Shen Yichen give to buy?
"Ambition is the best guarantee for Xining."
"Didn't he want to gain a foothold in the Forbidden City, and even covet the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal?"
"I can give him the credit for counterinsurgency."
As for how to buy Xining, Shen Yichen actually had a psychological plan for a long time.
Didn't the other party want to replace Wang Zhen with the power leaning towards the government and the opposition?
Well, I've got you covered!
The price is that we must fully cooperate in the matter of counterinsurgency in Fujian.
"Proprietor, you ......"
Bian He didn't know what to say for a while, if Fujian's counterinsurgency was successful, with the background of Shen Yichenxun's children, the benefits he would obtain might not be less than Shandong's efforts to control the water.
The title of Marquis is the lifelong request of countless officials, Wang Ji created the road to the promotion of Wenchen in charge of martial arts, why can't Shen Yichen become the next one?
also didn't know what to say, and Wu Rui was standing next to him.
As the personal guard of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, Wu Rui knew very well that Shen Yichen's coming to Fujian to quell the rebellion was, in a sense, a consensus reached by the Xunqi group, and hoped that he could take the title of official to take charge of the government and the opposition to restore Wuxun's increasingly obvious decline.
With the help of counterinsurgency, coupled with the support of the Xunqi group behind him, it is not a problem for Shen Yichen to pay homage to the marquis.
How many people can give up everything, including conscience, for the sake of power and title, but Shen Yichen is willing to give up the work of quelling the rebellion for the sake of a group of rebellious ministers and thieves in Fujian?
Even if you have had a friendship with this group of rebellious ministers and thieves, to put it mildly, what is this friendship in the face of power?
"Mr. Bian, I don't need to say anything, I'm not just for you and Chief Ye, but also for the people who are suffering in Fujian."
"Besides, whether Xining can eat this counterinsurgency is still a suspense."
After saying that, Shen Yichen jumped on the horse and whipped in the direction of Fuzhou City.
The news of Dou Yi's beheading will soon spread throughout the bureaucrats of Fuzhou Prefecture, and Shen Yichen must hurry up and reach a consensus with Xining and say that the black is white!
In Fuzhou City, Xining is sitting at the table enjoying delicious food and wine, accompanied by Fujian civil and military officials, and the Fujian opera team is invited to sing in front of him, this scene is in stark contrast to Shen Yichen's encounter in the barracks.
It can be called a businesswoman who does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river.
After he set off from Hangzhou, in the face of the urgent military situation in Fujian, he hurried all the way, and almost never had a good rest and enjoyment, and he couldn't hold back the greedy desire in his heart.
"Father-in-law, I don't know if the hospitality is satisfactory?"
After three rounds of drinking, I watched Xining leaning on the Taishi chair, leisurely singing a little song with the troupe, and Song Zhang, the political envoy of Fujian's right cloth, asked a flattering question.
He had already realized that his fart was slapped on the horse's leg in front of him, so he called the troupe, and judging from the current situation, this move is the right move.
"Not bad."
Xining nodded, with a comfortable expression.
Compared with being urged by Shen Yichen to work day and night before, the current scene is called a comfortable life.
"Happiness and the satisfaction of my father-in-law is the greatest honor of the lower officials!"
With Xining's approval, Song Zhang hurriedly flattered.
When it comes to ruling for the people, he may be a scumbag, but if you want to talk about luxury, Song Zhangke can be regarded as a good hand, and in the next time, he will definitely be obedient to Xining's arrangement.
But at this time, a dull sound of footsteps came, and Shen Yichen and the guards had returned to the Fuzhou Mansion.
Along with it, there was also the smell of blood wafting from Shen Yichen's body.
"Xia Guan has seen Grandpa Xi."
Seeing that Xining was listening to the song, Shen Yichen frowned, but this expression was fleeting, and he still saluted respectfully.
"Admiral Shen has worked hard to inspect the barracks, so hurry up and sit down to rest and let the back kitchen of the government prepare the meal."
The more conscientious Shen Yichen is, the more relaxed he can be, so he responds quite enthusiastically.
However, when he looked at the hem of Shen Yichen's official robe, the expression on his face instantly became a little solemn, and Xining keenly noticed that there were several dried blood stains on Shen Yichen's boots and official uniform.
Inspecting the Sanwei station in Fuzhou, how could he come back with a blood stain?
"Admiral Shen, did something happen during the inspection?"
Xining pretended to ask casually, trying not to let the civil and military officials of Fuzhou Prefecture who accompanied him find out.
Hearing Xining's inquiry, Shen Yichen admired his acumen a little, and before he could open his mouth to discuss, he discovered that something was wrong in advance.
"Father-in-law, the lower officials have some important matters to discuss with you, can you take a step to speak?"
"Okay."
Without the slightest hesitation, Xining agreed, he had already realized that something important had definitely happened during Shen Yichen's inspection of the station.
The two walked to a pavilion in the backyard one after the other, and after looking around that there was no one around, Shen Yichen arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law, the commander of Fuzhou Zhongwei made Dou Yi seriously injured and died for the country. ”
Dou Yi is dead?
Hearing Shen Yichen suddenly say such a sentence, Xining's eyes widened and she was a little stunned, it was really too sudden!
However, Xining reacted in an instant, and the military intelligence report submitted by the Fujian Metropolitan Division a few days ago also described that the commander of Fuzhou Wei made Dou Yi not chaotic and led his subordinates to retreat in an orderly manner, without mentioning his injury.
Even if Dou Yi's injury was concealed and not reported, there was no such coincidence in the world, just when Shen Yichen died during his inspection, and spit blood on his official uniform?
Xining is a traitor, he has seen more battlefields and officialdom than Shen Yichen.
This kind of lame rhetoric can deceive others, but it definitely can't deceive Xining.
"Admiral Shen, what happened, could it be that you are a good lake man in our family?
This sentence wronged Shen Yichen, he never felt that Xining Haohu had done it. The reason why I say this is purely to prepare Xining psychologically, after all, what I did was really amazing.
"Since Gonggong Xi has seen through it, then the lower officials will no longer hide it. Fuzhou Wei commanded Dou Yi to pervert the law for bribes and commit adultery in the military camp, and he has been sentenced and beheaded by the lower officials. ”
"Guilty and beheaded?"
Suddenly, Xining seemed to suspect that something was wrong with her ears, why did Shen Yichen talk about the crimes of the three high-ranking members of the imperial court, and where did he get the power to kill Dou Yi?
"Admiral Shen, you didn't joke with our family, did you?"
may be too bizarre, Xining thought in the direction that Shen Yichen was making up stories with herself.
"Father-in-law, does Xia Guan seem to be a joker?"
After that, Shen Yichen looked at the hem of his robe, and the dark red blood stains on it were a little conspicuous at this moment.
Shen Yichen really killed Dou Yi?
After confirming that this matter was true, Xining felt that his brain was buzzing, what kind of "madman" did his mother meet, what should His Majesty do if he asks about the crime, can he get rid of his involvement?
Xining really never expected that Shen Sanyuan, who looked extremely calm all the way, was a madman in his bones!
