Chapter 272: Arresting the Yamen
Lu Ning led the expeditionary force to conquer the whole territory of Dongying very smoothly, and at this time, Ma Sanbao also outflanked him from another direction, and the two successfully met.
When the two met, Lu Ning looked at him with a smile and said.
"Your kid really didn't disappoint me, this errand was done very properly, and after returning to Beijing, I will ask Your Majesty for your credit."
Ma Sanbao directly gave Lu Ning a big salute, and then got up and said.
"If it weren't for the cultivation of the lord, how could I have such an opportunity to make contributions, this is all your credit, I dare not be greedy."
Li Jinglong didn't look down on Ma Sanbao as a eunuch before, but now he also knew his ability, so he came over and said with a smile.
"Old Ma, I didn't know your skills before, but now that you have proved to me that you are a warrior, we will be buddies in the future, don't mind what happened before."
Ma Sanbao naturally wouldn't mind anything with the little grandfather, so he was polite again.
At this time, Xie Jin suddenly said to Lu Ning.
"Master, I see that this Dongying here, although these two emperors of the north and south do not have much real power, they have been deified very much, and leaving them behind will be a disaster after all."
Lu Ning nodded indifferently in agreement, and then asked Xie Jin.
"Do you mean to cut down these two emperors? That's not the best way to go. ”
Xie Jin shook his head and said to Lu Ning.
"I think I will move all the emperors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties inward, send them to Yingtenfu for resettlement, the name of preferential treatment is actually house arrest, and then let the emperor issue an order to order Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to be the minister in charge of Toei, and send his family members to Yingtian for resettlement."
Lu Ning also understood that sending the two emperors to Yingtian was actually equivalent to getting two rubber stamps.
And Ashikaga Yoshimitsu himself stayed in Toei to take charge, but he didn't have much freedom, because his family was all in Oten, and he was actually a hostage.
After Lu Ning listened, he looked at Xie Jin with a smile and said.
"I thought that you kid had been reading sage books for so many years, and he was engaged in benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long, but I didn't expect it to be so many bad moves."
Xie Jin knew that the master was not blaming himself, but praising himself.
So, he also responded directly.
"You have already told me many times that these people in Dongying are all uncivilized, they are afraid of power but not virtue, and only by knocking them out with a big stick can they really know how to do things."
Xie Jin's words made Lu Ning praise it a lot, and he said it immediately.
"You're right, what the sage book teaches us is not to admit cowardice, but how to unify knowledge and action, so let's take charge of the matter of moving Emperor Dongying internally, and at the same time report to Beijing."
After Xie Jin left, Lu Ning called the second apprentice next to him, Li Jinglong, and said.
"Jiujiang, I also have an errand for you to do, and you must not mess it up."
Li Jinglong, as the vanguard officer of this expedition, was naturally complacent, and he had made great military achievements, and he was very proud at this time.
When Master said this, he immediately replied.
"Master, since I followed you, when have you ever dropped the chain, you just have to tell me, and I will definitely do it properly."
Lu Ning smiled, and then said with great relief.
"Yes, you are about to become the real god of war of the Ming Dynasty, and you are very happy to be a teacher."
Li Jinglong didn't understand what Lu Ning meant by this, he was listening to his master's words with a confused face at the moment.
But Lu Ning knew in his heart that after his training, Li Jinglong was no longer the waste wood recorded in the history books of later generations.
"Okay, don't think about it, you collect all the knives of the Dongying army, and move their various craftsmen to Yingtian and Fengyang."
Li Jinglong knew that this was a complete draw from Dongying.
Without knives, there is no possibility of continuing the rebellion, and if all the craftsmen are taken away, there is no possibility of progress.
Li Jinglong took the order and left, and now only Li Qi was left who had not received the errand, so he hurriedly asked the master.
"Master, the two senior brothers have already received errands, I'm here to do something, I can't be idle, right?"
Seeing him in a hurry, Lu Ning replied with a smile.
"You immediately select a group of strong men from Dongying, set up a thief hunting yamen, and then tell Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to make him a thief arrest general, responsible for maintaining law and order here, and tell him that as long as there is a problem, try to ask him."
For this task, there doesn't seem to be any challenge, Li Qi said directly with some disappointment.
"Master, this Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is already our defeated general, how can you still give them power, if this thief yamen also becomes a climate in the future, isn't it also very troublesome!"
Seeing that Li Qi could think of this, Lu Ning felt very relieved, it can be seen that he has no vain teaching these apprentices.
"Of course, I have asked your senior brother to confiscate all the knives, and the weapons used by this thief yamen can only be wooden sticks, and they will not make any splashes with wooden sticks."
While Li Qi was still digesting this sentence, Lu Ning added next.
"In order to make it easier to manage, all of these sticks must be engraved with numbers, and those who lose them will be beheaded immediately, and those who make them will also be beheaded immediately."
At this time, Li Qi understood the master's thoughts, even if they were asked to use wooden sticks, they could not be manufactured on a large scale, but should be configured according to the number.
In other words, even if these people have the intention of rebellion, they do not have the strength to rebel, and they will directly lose their lives if they have any signs.
