Chapter 185 Very Good, Very Spirited!
Ambassador Yang's army of axe dances was officially moved to the Jin Palace, and the Jin King's shrinkage also gave great encouragement to the Shanxi gentry.
It's for future generations.
At this time, even if you grit your teeth, you have to persevere.
Isn't it money?
Offered.
In fact, they didn't spend much money, they used to spend money because they wanted to make money from it, but now they spend their own money, so then a professional team took over the financial management of Ambassador Yang. The shrewd treasurers selected by the gentry were solely responsible for every expenditure of Ambassador Yang, and the expenditure on the supply of grain, meat, etc., which had been obviously unreasonable, plummeted, and some expenditures that were not needed quickly disappeared......
Of course, wages and food standards cannot be reduced.
They also understand.
In order to successfully expel the Jin Domain, it is necessary to mobilize the power of the entire Shanxi people.
So the more people you gather, the better.
It doesn't matter if you spend some money now.
It's important to get rid of the Jin Domain.
As for the money spent, as long as the Jin clan was driven away, the gentry controlled the commerce of Shanxi, and it was only a matter of minutes to earn it back from the common people.
The price of salt rose for half a year, and all of them were recovered.
However, because of the autumn harvest, the scale of the siege of the Jin Wangfu did not continue to expand, and it was maintained at 30,000 people, in fact, some of the young people also returned to their homes for the autumn harvest, and their shortfall was made up by the local young people in Taiyuan Mansion, including a large number of guards Yu Ding, in fact, the Jin Domain's guards also had Yu Ding.
Make money!
Who doesn't love that?
However, after the autumn harvest, the scale will definitely skyrocket.
During this autumn harvest period, it was originally the time for those gentry to be connected, and now at most it is Taiyuan Mansion, and even some counties of Taiyuan Prefecture may not participate, but during this autumn harvest period, the gentry of other provinces in Shanxi will be quickly connected, as for whether they can solve the magistrates and how many young people can be summoned, this Yang Feng doesn't care.
】
But something like this must be unified, so 100,000 young people should be fine.
Anyway, it's okay after the autumn harvest.
If there are those gentry who collect money, Ambassador Yang is responsible for throwing money at them, and those young people are responsible for collecting money.
Everyone should be a carnival, surrounding the carnival of the Jin Palace.
Xu Huizu and the civil and military officials in Taiyuan turned a blind eye to this.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
Besides, the people didn't break the law, they just sang and danced outside the Jin Palace, what was wrong with them? Wielding an axe is also dancing, everyone is a woodcutter, so it makes sense to carry an axe with you, right? As for the issue of them trampling on the royal road, this is indeed illegal, but the problem is that this is not under the control of the local officials in Shanxi! If the local officials go to arrest them, they must also trample on the royal road, which is a crime, in fact, the local officials have no right to deal with this kind of thing, and theoretically they can only arrest the people by the guards of the Jin clan and then transfer them to the capital. In short, this kind of eucalyptus involving offending the vassal king, the magistrate can't control it, but if the Jin Domain's guards don't come out to arrest people now, that's the Jin Domain's own problem.
Maybe King Jin is lenient and generous, and he doesn't care about such a trivial matter?
Does he like everyone to sing and dance?
Anyway, don't worry!
As for the ...... you want to manage?
The bureaucrats wanted to discuss the legal process with him, after all, even if you were a magistrate, you couldn't abuse your power, and it was clear that it was not under your control, and you had to take care of it, which in itself was also illegal!
Of course, at this time, the siege of the Jin palace in Taiyuan City was no longer important, and the struggle of the imperial court was important.
At the same time, many craftsmen of Datongye surrendered to Jiaocheng County to participate in the manufacture of prohibited weapons, and it was pointed out that it was the pattern provided by the Jin Palace.
The governor of Zezhou, who was rushed to the capital by Jinyiwei, insisted on not changing his confession despite being severely tortured......
Rather die than submit!
Now there is no way back for him!
is to carry it hard, even if it is killed by Jinyiwei, it will pave the way for children and grandchildren.
After the emperor's grandson succeeds to the throne, he will not forget his children and grandchildren.
But the confession was retracted......
Not to mention that King Guangze may not be able to succeed, and even if he does, he will not be grateful to him, if it weren't for his initial confession, how could he be so passive? His confession is extremely crucial, and it can be said to be the deadliest correction of King Jin at present.
Even if he retracts his confession, he will not escape death.
It's better to carry it to death, this belief has been firm, even if it is a person who begs for death, Jinyiwei's torture is useless, not to mention that Song Zhong is not a fool, he is not Zhu Yunwen, he also has to consider the feelings of the imperial grandson, so it's almost enough, in short, this most critical witness, even if he goes to Jinyiwei's edict, still insists on his previous correction.
It was the Jin Domain's guards who ambushed Qincha, and it was the Jin Domain's guards who carried and used those prohibited weapons.
Theoretically, this is already a rebellion.
The Jin clan rebelled.
Then there is the performance of the officials of the imperial grandson's department.
In particular, there was a reversal movement in Shanxi.
Shanxi officials, even if they are from the Guangze royal family, have no other choice.
Led by the boss of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the head of the Imperial History of Zuodu, they have asked for the King of Jin to be summoned to Beijing to relieve doubts and calm the people......
The vassal king cannot be caught committing a crime.
The emperor can only send the imperial relatives and internal officials to the fiefdom to summon them to Beijing, if the three summons are not successful, the civil officials and internal officials will be summoned again, but there is no official government to interrogate, only by the emperor himself. Therefore, Yang Feng and Lai Gong went to Shanxi to investigate, and found that those who were involved in the King of Jin could only come to the door to ask for a meeting, and even if the emperor was really guilty after interrogation, he could only be abolished as a concubine at most.
Misdemeanor scolded a few words and pulled down.
In short, there was nothing to do with the officials in the whole process, and it was impossible to be executed.
Of course, it is another thing for the emperor to want to kill.
But theoretically, even if the vassal king kills people and sets fires, at most he will only be abolished as a concubine.
Even the imperial history can't casually hear about the impeachment of the vassal king, small things are not allowed at all, this belongs to the royal family, dare to impeach with trivial rumors, and the imperial history will take it directly, even if it is a major event, it must be true to be impeached, and if it is found to be untrue, then the head of the imperial history will fall to the ground.
So......
In fact, impeachment is not allowed.
After all, unless the imperial history has already pinned his head to the waistband of his pants, he really doesn't dare to impeach.
Originally, the imperial history was a rumor, if it can be confirmed to be true, what kind of rumor is it? Besides, even if it is true, later because the emperor's protection was found to be untrue, the imperial history had to pay for his life.
So even if Bang Zhao and others can only say that it is too big now, in order to let the people of the world understand the truth and feel at ease, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to summon King Jin to the capital to personally ask what is going on, but the premise cannot say that King Jin is guilty, to assume that he is innocent, but this matter is in a uproar, and it is not good not to ask and understand.
Asked to understand, His Majesty the Emperor announced to the world, especially to send a messenger to comfort Shanxi.
After all, Shanxi is now uneasy.
But......
Their recitals continued to stay in the center.
Zhu Yuanzhang was like his eighth grandson possessing this matter, and he stayed in the middle of it.
As long as it involves the performance of Jin Wangyu, there is no follow-up when he enters the palace, and he does not stop those officials from playing, but he also does not approve it, in short, although you play, I should not see anything. Including the twists and turns of the anti-Jin movement in Shanxi, they just sat back and watched the contradictions intensify, allowing all kinds of rumors to fly all over the sky, waiting for his son and Yang Feng to work hard. As for his son's hookup with Fu Youde, he may not be unaware, but this does not affect his plan, because as long as the pressure is enough, his son will still not be able to hold on. His son also understands his purpose, but he doesn't want to be cannon fodder for his father, so now all parties are in a stalemate, waiting for the first one who can't hold on.
At the same time, the imperial grandson and his gang also began to release rumors of withdrawing from the domain.
It even seems to have been set in stone.
Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care, even if it's a public discussion, it's casual.
But this one didn't work either.
King Jin also knew that this was a rumor, after all, he also had his own intelligence network.
Deadlocked.
Fight patience.
A month later.
The autumn harvest in Shanxi has ended one after another.
The young men of the gentry organizations from all over the country rushed to Taiyuan one after another.
Legal.
All with the guidance of the government.
Anyway, there are guides for young people from other places to go to Taiyuan, and even the reason is the same, that is, Ambassador Yang employs a large number of workers in Taiyuan, and young and strong farmers go to Taiyuan to work part-time to subsidize their families, which is a very reasonable reason.
And these magistrates who opened the way out, of course, are equivalent to giving the emperor's grandson a certificate of nomination.
They chose the imperial grandson.
And those magistrates who refuse to open the way are, of course, the king of Guangze.
It's a simple test of loyalty.
"The effect is not very ideal!"
Yang Feng looked at the list of counties that he had already arrived at.
About one-third of the counties, there are already gentry with young people, and this batch does not need to give money, just take care of the food, of course, the gentry of these counties do not need to make money, but those counties that have no way out, the gentry need to make money. This is the rule they negotiated by themselves, after all, a large part of the counties can't open a way, but if they really succeed in driving out the Jin Domain, these county gentry will also profit, so they will pay for it, and these counties will make a way out. And the 30,000 people who followed Yang Feng at the beginning, of course, had to continue to pay their wages, but they were all in Taiyuan City or even in the surrounding areas, so they needed to provide accommodation for this fallen Jin army to rest in turns, including some daily necessities.
For example, pots and pans, firewood and grass.
In short, for this common goal, which can be said to be the common goal of the people of Shanxi Province, there is now a great alliance of landlords, merchants, tenants and other strata.
"That's a lot, now most of the magistrates and counties in various places are from the imperial examination, and they are all interested in King Guangze, and these thirds are actually relying on those provinces that also have vassal kings."
Lai Gong said.
However, he did not come publicly, and theoretically he should still be in Zezhou.
He was right.
Shanxi made an example, so that other provinces with vassal kings were also moved, after all, everyone was eager to drive away the vassal kings, Henan, Shaanxi, Shandong, Beiping, Huguang, Sichuan, these are all vassal kings.
If Shanxi can drive the Jin clan out in this way, then why can't they?
"So you're also for you Shaanxi?"
Yang Feng said.
"It is said that Shaanxi is a little too much, but if the Qin clan can be driven out of Guanzhong, it can be regarded as a good thing for the father and elder of Guanzhong."
Lai Gong said.
Indeed, Shaanxi is too big, there is no need to drive Qin Fan out of Shaanxi, as long as it is driven out of Guanzhong, like Longyoudi, it is sparsely populated, and it can be settled at will, even if it is Hanzhong, at this time Hanzhong is also sparsely populated, in fact, Hu Yuan from Hanzhong to Sichuan, basically the same as the prairie. Mainly in the war between the Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, the main massacre was on this line, and before the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were no people on this line, so this line was placed casually. Including the Jin Domain, there is actually no need to drive out of Shanxi, after all, even if Yang Feng calculates Dong Shengwei for them, theoretically it also belongs to Shanxi, and Shanxi Xingdu Division belongs, so that the Jin Domain is still in Jin, and the Qin Domain is still in Qin, that is, from the core area to the remote areas.
However, the results of this test also confirm one point, that is, the proportion of officials from the north is really low.
So many provincial counties with vassal kings add up to Zhili, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian four provinces of the county of half, as for this time Liangguang Yungui these ignore on the line, Guizhou is actually not the political envoy, Guizhou Cheng announced that the political envoy was established during the Yongle period.
Most likely less than half.
After all, there should also be a small number of people in these four provinces who support the emperor's grandson.
"According to your number, the northern officials will always be oppressed by the southern officials."
Yang Feng said.
Provoke.
Of course, it's going to be provoked.
If the northern officials cooperate with him tacitly this time, then Liu Sanwu and other southern officials who have mastered the imperial examination will definitely teach them a lesson.
North and South List!
Yang Feng has always been worried that because of his appearance, the north and south lists have been yellow, and this big drama is what he is looking forward to the most now, so it's time to push it in the back and give this big eucalyptus a driving force.
"There's no way around it, it's not as good as others, so I can only admit it."
Lai Gong said with a sigh.
Yang Feng just smiled.
"Master, a letter from the capital."
At this time, the bank shopkeeper came over and said with a smiling face.
At the same time, he glanced at Yang Feng.
Yang Feng looked at the young and strong ......
"Let's work harder, and then go buy some flowers, let's also have some fun for the king, if he really moves the domain in the future, it can be regarded as letting the king stay a nostalgic."
He shouted.
The young men laughed.
Then they brandished their axes one by one and continued to dance towards the palace, and at this time it was not just here, because there were enough people, in fact, the entire Jin Palace's surroundings were a circle of axe dances. In fact, it's not just axe dance, after all, it's easy to get aesthetically tired after dancing for a long time, and many of the young people who gather from all over the world are performing the characteristics of their hometown.
There are even those who act in miscellaneous dramas.
In short, the roars of various tones and the sounds of various musical instruments surround the Jin Palace.
It is indeed in line with what officials call singing and dancing.
Yang Feng thought about it, simply took out a grenade, then opened the insurance, and threw it directly forward, the grenade flew dozens of meters, and exploded not far in front of the palace.
The roar of those young men was excited.
"Very good, very energetic!"
Ambassador Yang shouted.
Then he smiled and left with the shopkeeper, and the two went straight to the bank, and into the backyard, a woman wrapped in a fur fur had her back to him.
"Madam, are you looking for me?"
He said.
The latter then turned around.
"Ambassador, my Jin clan has no grievances with the ambassador, why bother to put my Jin clan to death?"
She said.
