Exterminate the Bandits?

Hearing that Shen Yichen's condition was actually this thing, Feng Zheng almost agreed without thinking about it.

Now is not the Jiajing Dynasty a hundred years later, and a few dozen Japanese can enter a no-man's land on the southeast coast.

Even if the Ming Dynasty suffered the loss of the Japanese invaders a few years ago, it was also attacked by several coastal state capitals and guards. But in the follow-up, the Ming Dynasty also launched a brutal revenge, and the Japanese and pirates entrenched on the coastal islands were brutally killed by the Ming sailors.

The elite of the Fuzhou Sanwei led by Feng Zheng did not have a good record in the face of the rebels under the condition of low morale, but this does not mean that they are a group of weak chickens.

You must know that even if the national fortune was defeated by the Tumubao Change, the emperor and the three major battalions of the Beijing Division lost their elites, Yu Qian relied on part of the preparation army, the preparation of the Japanese army, the Caoyun army, and the Zhejiang army to enter Beijing, he could turn over the Mongolian iron cavalry, and even dared to go out of the city to face the battle.

How can you put a mere widow in your eyes now, isn't Admiral Shen brushing up his own achievements?

But when the words came to his lips, Feng Zheng always felt that something was wrong, how did Shen Yichen know that there would be a Japanese attack, and even when he heard the tone, he even knew the time and place, it was really a little abnormal.

Although Shen Yichen is the military governor of Fujian, after all, he is an airborne official in Beijing, and his well-informed level can be stronger than that of a local general?

"Admiral Shen, the lower official took the liberty to ask, can you take this matter seriously?"

Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, Feng Zheng finally asked.

"Feng Weisi, just get ready, and the official will naturally inform you when the time comes."

Shen Yichen replied, many times the superior has to have the mystery of the superior, not to mention that this kind of thing cannot be told in advance.

"Yes, the last general is abrupt!"

"This official still has a lot of military affairs to rush to Fuzhou Mansion to deal with, and this place will be handed over to Feng Weisi."

With that, Shen Yichen got up from his seat, walked in front of Feng Zheng, patted him on the shoulder, and added earnestly: "Feng Weisi, Admiral Ben is very optimistic about you, don't forget that I am disappointed." ”

"Admiral Shen rest assured, the lower officials will live up to their trust!"

Looking at Feng Zheng's appearance of being brave and loyal, Shen Yichen smiled meaningfully, and then walked out of the handsome tent.

In vain, Feng Zheng was still standing in place and looking at his back, his expression thoughtful.

After Shen Yichen left the barracks, he rushed to Fuzhou Mansion non-stop, compared with the ruins of Quanzhou City, Fuzhou City is still a scene of "peace and prosperity", and he does not feel the tension of the war at all.

In a luxurious private mansion in the city, Zhang Chen, the political envoy of Fujian, was entertaining Xining, and in front of the two of them were a bunch of rare treasures and antique calligraphy and paintings, almost each of which was worth a lot of money.

"Look, this jewel is picked from Qiongzhou in the South China Sea, it is crystal clear and radiant, and it is said that it also has the effect of rejuvenating the face!"

Zhang Chen picked up a pearl and introduced it to Xining with a flattering face. He is not having a good time today, he has the responsibility of losing his land caused by the Fujian riots, and then he has the right political envoy Song Zhang hugged Wang Zhen's thigh, and he is ready to take the opportunity to take the position.

If nothing else, Zhang Chen will be held accountable by the imperial court after the rebellion in Fujian is quelled. I don't know if he will be convicted and imprisoned, but there is a high probability that the government will not be able to keep this official position, so he will try his best to save it.

"Zhang Fantai, now that Quanzhou Mansion has been captured by the rebels, the situation in the entire Fujian is in danger, are you still in the mood to lead our family to appreciate the treasure pearls of the South China Sea?"

Xining seemed to be dissatisfied with the blame, but the movements in his hands pretended to inadvertently pick up the orb to observe, and there was a hint of unconcealed negotiation in his eyes.

Seeing Xining's expression, Zhang Chen, as an officialdom, naturally understood, and he hurriedly flattered and smiled: "The incompetence of the lower officials has caused many incidents, fortunately, Gonggong Xi and Admiral Shen went out of the town of Fujian, and hesitated to defend the side of the Optimus Pillar, and he will definitely be able to Qinghai Yan in the future." ”

After the sycophant was filmed, Zhang Chen picked up another pair of calligraphy and paintings and said: "Father-in-law, this is the authentic handiwork of Mr. Yuzhang, one of the four Song families, which is rare in the world and extremely difficult to find, why don't you comment on it?" ”

Xining Jurchen was born, and his literary attainments are about equal to nothing. However, I have studied in the inner study hall, and I have heard the name of "Song Sijia", and I know the gold content of this pen and ink.

But compared with real money, Xi Ning was not interested in the collection of literati ink treasures, he just replied with a smile: "We don't have any ink on our chests, and we still have some self-knowledge, just comment on anything." ”

"Zhang Fantai's thoughts, our family has also seen it now, if you have any ideas, just say it."

Xining has always been simple and rude and arrogant, and does not like to twist and turn, Zhang Chen's flattering attitude this time is in place, and he is qualified to make a small request.

Hearing Xining's relief, Zhang Chen's face showed a look of great joy, and he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "If there is turmoil during the term of office of the lower official, I am afraid that I will be punished by the court and His Majesty. ”

Zhang Chen's current idea is to make amends, as long as Shen Yichen and Xining can quell the turmoil in Fujian, and then cover up for themselves a little bit, maybe they can alleviate the crime of dereliction of duty.

Of course, it is best to give yourself some credit for counterinsurgency, so that you can make up for the mistakes.

Hearing Zhang Chen's thoughts, Xining laughed contemptuously.

"Zhang Fantai poked out such a big basket, how could our family's good words calm His Majesty's anger?"

"Ask for more blessings."

After finishing speaking, Xi Ning put down the South China Sea Orb in his hand.

In order to curry favor with Wang Zhen, Song Zhang, the second-in-command of the Fujian Political Division, sent 30,000 taels of gold to Beijing. If you want to get rid of your crimes, you take out this money, are you treating me Xining as a beggar?

Or do you think our family is far less important than Wang Zhen?

Faced with Xining's sudden turn of face, Zhang Chen was instantly stunned, and his requirements were not too high. No wonder they all say that eunuchs have weird personalities and are difficult to serve, isn't it a living example in front of you?

"Xi Gonggong is angry, if the lower officials have any offense, please do a lot of Haihan!"

No matter what the reason, now that the situation is stronger than people, Zhang Chen can only quickly admit his mistake.

Then he gritted his teeth and took out a booklet from his arms, handed it to Xi Ning and said: "The lower official knows that he is deeply responsible, and the good words make it difficult for Father-in-law Xi to do. ”

"This is a little caution prepared by the lower officials, and please smile at the father-in-law!"

Looking at the booklet in front of him, Xining guessed what kind of literati pen and ink it was, so he asked rhetorically: "What is this?" ”

"Fujian Buzheng Sitian fish scale book!"

Fish scale book?

Hearing that it was such a thing, Xining was a little confused.

"What are you doing with the fish scale book for our family, in addition to rectifying military affairs with Admiral Shen, you also have to help you deal with government affairs?"

Xining is completely out of luck, the Fujian Political Division is really a bunch of waste, and everything in the military and political affairs is in ruins!

"How dare Xia Guan have such thoughts, this is a borderless land that has been abandoned since the turmoil in Fujian, and the Yamen of the Fujian Political Department has recently counted it, and I also invite the happy father-in-law to take a look."

The fish scale book is Zhang Chen's hole card for buying life, and he is unwilling to hand it over unless he has to.

After all, the field is the hard currency inherited by the ancient family, and how many people live desperately for a lifetime, just to buy the field and then pass on the poems and books.

Although the Fujian counterinsurgency has not yet ended, in the eyes of the vast majority of officials, the imperial court has sent ministers to suppress the rebellious ministers and thieves, and it is a late thing to exterminate the rebellious ministers and thieves, so they have begun to share the fruits of the "victory" in advance.

The thieves captured Jianning Mansion, Tingzhou Mansion, Yanping Mansion, Quanzhou Mansion and other places, all the officials were killed, and the landlord Haoqiang had ten rooms and nine empties, leaving as many as tens of thousands of hectares of vacant land, which was converted into millions of acres by later units.

Such a large amount of "wealth" fell from the sky, and naturally it was impossible to imitate Deng Maoqi's practice and distribute it to the mud legs, but the officials of the entire Fujian Third Division were divided among themselves on the fish scale book archive according to their ranks.

As the chief official of a province, Zhang Chen got the largest share of the pie, a full 20,000 acres of good land. You must know that during the Orthodox Dynasty, the vassal king was appointed as a feudal country, and the prince's level was only given thousands of acres of land, which can be seen from this point how amazing it is to make a fortune and make a profit.

The land property is nominally shared, but it also has to be a life flower, otherwise it is to make a wedding dress for others. The rare treasures couldn't impress Xining, and Zhang Chen didn't believe that 20,000 acres of fertile land couldn't take the other party.

According to Zhang Chen's recent news about Xining, it was learned that this person was extremely greedy, and he served as a town guard eunuch in Liaodong at the beginning, and even did not let go of the inheritance of the late former eunuch Wang Yan, who was the eunuch of the prison army, which was simply outrageous.

It is even rumored that he returned to Beijing to purchase property, and also had a dispute with the British Gong Zhang Fu, and refused to give in at all. If it weren't for Xining's sudden order to leave the town of Fujian, maybe the two sides would have fought a long time ago, which shows how rampant it is.

However, these things are good news for Zhang Chen, he is not afraid of Xining's rampant greed, but he is afraid that the other party is timid and afraid of things and does not dare to accept his "life money"!

Borderlands?

Hearing this term, Xining immediately understood the meaning behind it, and pretended to take the fish scale book casually, wanting to see how many so-called "borderlands" there were. ”

When he opened it, even if he was mentally prepared, even Xining was not a dirt bun who had never seen the world, but he was still shocked by the number of acres on it.

Witnessing the change in the expression on Xining's face, Zhang Chen, who was half anxious, finally had an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

He hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Father-in-law, after the discussion of the colleagues of the political secretary, I gave 20,000 acres of good land to the lower officials. ”

"But the lower officials are deeply ashamed of the turmoil in Fujian, and they know that they will not be punished for their worthlessness, and they are willing to dedicate these 20,000 acres of fertile land to the happy father-in-law who turned the tide, and I hope that he will not refuse!"

Zhang Chen's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, he believed that his life money was sincere enough, and Xining would definitely not refuse.

But the next scene pierced Zhang Chen's imagination, and he saw Xining close the fish scale book, look at him and say: "The situation in Fuzhou has been so rotten, except for Zhang Fantai, are other officials not responsible?" ”

"I don't know how they can be at ease and accept this futile lure!"

Children only do multiple-choice questions, but I'm happy that as an adult, of course I want them all!

I came all the way to Fujian Kuangfu Jiangshan Sheji, why can the officials of the three divisions of Fujian get a piece of the pie, and you also deserve it?

The dignified patriarch and the British prince's land and Xining dared to encroach on it, Zhang Chen actually naively thought that he could easily buy the other party by taking out his own share, which can only be said that he has lost his eyes.

Not to mention the British Gong Zhang Fu, you must know that Xining mixed to the end, even Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was planted in his hands, which can be called a peerless "inner ghost", who can be bigger than the emperor?

"Hello...... Hello father-in-law, this ......"

Zhang Chen understood what Xining meant, and was speechless in shock. If the other party's appetite is really big enough to swallow tens of thousands of hectares of fields in Fujian, then there is no need to wait for the emperor's punishment at all, and the colleagues of the three divisions of Fujian alone will have to kill themselves!

Originally, the cake shared by everyone was manipulated by Zhang Chensao to let Xining monopolize it, and cutting off people's wealth was like killing his parents, not to mention that he was a guilty person.

The officials of the Third Division of Fujian may not dare to take Xining seriously, but they definitely dare to retaliate against themselves.

"Mother needs to say more, this fish scale book will be left by our family for the time being."

Xining didn't care about Zhang Chen's feelings at all, and after accepting the fish scale book, he turned around and left, showing the domineering and domineering of Quan Gelding to the fullest.

This also taught Zhang Chen a good lesson, it will never work to deal with eunuchs in the same way as dealing with civil officials. Even if he is as knowledgeable as Wang Zhen, he often does some inexplicable Liwei incidents, without considering the pros and cons at all.

If you're cool, that's really cool!

"Happy ......"

Looking at the back of Xining's departure, Zhang Chen stretched out his hand like a drowning man, and the words were blocked in his throat and could not be spoken, and finally collapsed to the ground.

Returning to the Fuzhou Mansion from the luxurious private residence, almost as soon as Xining stepped in with his front foot, Shen Yichen followed in with his hind foot, and the two met directly in the front hall.

Looking at Shen Yichen, who had a face of vicissitudes on his face, Xi Ning did not have the kind of arbitrariness that he faced with the officials of Fuzhou's political department.

This is not to say how much he estimates the background of the Xun Qi behind Shen Yichen, but more because of the performance of the other party during this time, which really made Xining have to avoid three points.

After all, a civil official who dared to kill a three-rank military minister without a purpose has never been done since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that the quality of the culture is polite and the means are ruthless, and even he can't reach the dust, how can this kind of hard stubble not pay attention to it?

"Admiral Shen returned to Fuzhou, why didn't you send someone to inform you earlier, and our family might as well set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust."

Before Shen Yichen could speak, Xining took the initiative to greet him, and even spoke quite politely.

In addition to the few big names who can be counted on one hand by Jingshi, Shen Yichen is the first junior among young officials who can afford Xining's hospitality, and he has enough face.

"Xia Guan has seen Father-in-law Xi, and it is too late to inform him of the matter, so I hope you will forgive me."

No matter whether Xi Ningke is polite or not, Shen Yichen is always polite and thoughtful in the face of him, and there will be no slackness.

"Why is Admiral Shen so anxious, could it be that there is a change in Zhao'an in Quanzhou Mansion?"

Thinking of this possibility, Xining's face became solemn, and Shen Yichen requisitioned all the three guards in Fuzhou. In the event of the annihilation of the whole army, then the entire Fuzhou Prefecture and even the territory of Fujian will have no troops to defend.

I'm afraid I'll have to pack my bags and prepare to run away overnight!

"I am relieved that Zhao'an in Quanzhou Mansion is going well, and Xiaguan has reached a preliminary agreement with the rebels."

"Then what else is Admiral Shen anxious about?"

Xining felt a little inexplicable, at present, in addition to the rebels, what else could be urgent in Fujian.

"There is an important condition for the negotiation between the lower officials and the rebels, and it needs to be reached as soon as possible with the help of the Xi father-in-law."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Xining didn't shirk anything, patted her chest and agreed.

If the counterinsurgency matter is ended as soon as possible, he will be able to return to Beijing to fight for power one step earlier, and he is afraid that he will have many dreams at night.

"The lower officials need the head of the right political envoy Song Zhang!"

Hearing Shen Yichen's words, Xining's reaction was exactly the same as that of Zhang Chen before.

I've seen a ruthless person, but I've never seen someone as ruthless as Shen Yichen.

How long has it been since the commander of the Sanpinwei was killed, and now he wants to kill the right-hand political envoy of the second rank, and if he continues like this, Xining doubts that he still has the life to return to the Beijing Division!
