It can only be said that this kind of operation like "passing the head and nine sides" has indeed had a tangible effect for the first time.

Looking at the head that had been pickled in lime, the officials and servants of the next prefecture and county all invariably corrected their work attitudes.

For the gentry who encroached on the acres of land, maybe the court couldn't do anything to them, most of the way to deal with it was to return the land and fine money, as long as they didn't die, and didn't take their own family to fight against the tax collectors of the court, then they were not guilty to death.

After all, the purpose of the imperial court to clear the fields is to extract money from the various processes of collecting taxes, not to force the gentry into rebellion, for the sake of clearing the fields, it is impossible to force all the gentry to the opposite side of the imperial court, and law enforcement must be a standard yardstick in it, that is, only the inventory and confiscation of illegally occupied fields.

But for the low-level officials, officials, errand servants, and tax collectors, it is completely different.

These people are all people in the imperial court.

Therefore, the imperial court can usually not treat them well, but at the moment in the special period, it is necessary to use heavy codes, and to deal with those who dare to fool the court seriously and quickly, no one can say anything.

Taicang Prefecture.

Jiang Xinghuo and Li Jinglong advanced here from south to north, and although the Ming Dynasty was in most cases a three-level administrative unit structure of political envoys, prefectures, and counties, there was also such a thing as a "state".

Of course, it is not the same thing as the first-level administrative unit of Jizhou, Jingzhou and Yizhou in the Han Dynasty, and the state of the Ming Dynasty is slightly different from the previous generation, divided into two kinds of states, namely the "Zhili Prefecture" directly under the political envoy and the "state" directly under the government, the former has a slightly lower status equivalent to the government, and the latter has a slightly higher status equivalent to the county.

According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty and the Geographical Chronicle", there are 140 prefectures in the end of the Ming Dynasty, 20 "Zhili Prefectures", which belong to the North and South Zhili and the Thirteen Political Envoys, and at the same time, there are 193 states under the "state" of the government, and there will be a state under each prefecture on average, of course, it is just an average, the actual situation is that there are two or three states under a prefecture, and some prefectures may not have a state.

The work of clearing the fields in Taicang Prefecture went quite smoothly, but not so smoothly.

The reason why I say this is because in terms of Mintian, the officials and officials of Taicang Prefecture, which is very close to Jiading County, have been frightened into frightened birds, so they honestly cooperate with Qingtian's work.

At the same time, there are no decent gentry and heroes among the people of Taicang Prefecture, the land in this place is generally fertile, and most importantly, the coastal areas are all military fields.

And that's why it's said "not so smooth".

Because some people's hands not only reached the fertile fields of Changshu County, but also reached into Zhenhaiwei, which is next to Taicang Prefecture.

Next to Taicang Prefecture, the northwest-southeast direction, where the Ming army's Zhenhaiwei was stationed.

Jiang Xinghuo and Li Jinglong were full of action, and they came directly from Jiading County.

"It's a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I've only seen it in the archives of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies before."

Li Jinglong rode on his horse and looked at the Zhenhai Acropolis in amazement.

"Got a saying?" Jiang Xinghuo asked.

"Yes."

"This is not a full guard, judging from the archives of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, there are more than 5,300 officers and soldiers."

Li Jinglong said: "The Zhenhai Acropolis was built in the 20th year of Hongwu, and there are two Zhenhaiwei in the Ming Dynasty, one is here, the other is Fujian, and that is built by Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, to prepare for the Japanese. ”

"I see."

Jiang Xinghuo observed and nodded, Li Jinglong's memory is indeed good, and it is worthy of whether a man who can lead an army of 600,000 can win two words, let's just say that this scheduling and overall planning ability is not ordinary.

And just as the two of them were staying under the city, the gate of the Zhenhai Acropolis was delayed.

"Who are you waiting for? How dare you trespass on Zhenhaiwei? ”

There was a rush of footsteps, and a general in iron armor walked out and came to the city tower, his face was cold, his eyes were cold, and he looked like he was doing business.

This is obviously unreasonable, the messenger who passed the news that the national teacher and Cao Guogong arrived to inspect had already set off, and there was not just one, it was two, with a small Zhenhaiwei, not to mention that ten miles out of the city to greet him, then he should have waited outside the city gate early, how dare he be so big?

In other words, even if he is the commander of Zhenhaiwei, the official rank is far from Jiang Xinghuo and Li Jinglong, who gave him the guts?

If it weren't for the courage given to him by others, it would mean that Zhenhaiwei had something that he didn't dare to let Jiang Xinghuo and Li Jinglong see, and this was a hard way to obstruct it, although this way of obstruction was unreasonable. After all, if you really want to send them away, then take them to see them respectfully, and then give them gifts, maybe you can expect them to take a look and leave, which is the normal way of reception.

Give Jiang Xinghuo and Li Jinglong a horse, is your head too tall?

Jiang Xinghuo and Li Jinglong's horses stopped under the Zhenhai Acropolis, and Cao Ada, the general next to Li Jinglong, stepped forward, waved a whip in the air, and angrily reprimanded: "Who gave you the guts?" Cao Guogong inspected the defense, you dare to stop it? ! ”

This is a name that he can't think of anyway, the name of Cao Guogong is not simple, this is the head of the hundred officials designated by His Majesty the Emperor!

There seemed to be some information in the middle, and the ironclad general was stunned and immediately went down to the city.

The iron-armored general looked them up and down a few times, and when he saw Li Jinglong's face, his heart tightened suddenly.

"It's really Cao Guogong!"

"Yes, it's my father."

Li Jinglong raised his head slightly, with an indifferent expression, as if he didn't take this ironclad general in his eyes at all.

The ironclad general wept and confessed his guilt, but strangely, he just didn't get out of the way.

"Since you know that it is Cao Guogong in person, why don't you get out of the way?" Cao Ah asked sharply.

"No orders were received."

The ironclad general's answer made Jiang Xinghuo feel very strange.

I didn't receive an order, did I not receive an order from Jiang Xinghuo and Li Jinglong to come here, or did I not receive an order to let them in?

If it is the former, then the messenger is clearly in trouble, and if it is the latter, who would dare to give such an order?

Or, a combination of both?

After all, the first two groups of messengers had already aroused their vigilance before they returned, but fortunately, there were enough troops around them, and they were elite enough, so Jiang Xinghuo and Li Jinglong came directly to Zhenhaiwei to find out.

"Orders?"

Li Jinglong sneered, took out the Shuanglong Golden Talisman from his waist, raised it and shook it, and said, "This is the order, have you received it?" ”

In fact, what many people don't know is that in the early Ming Dynasty, like the previous dynasties, the army was made of talismans, there were golden dragon talismans, there were also gold-plated talismans, and plain silver talismans, according to the different levels of military attachés, Lao Zhu issued thousands, and Li Jinglong was holding the highest level in his hand, his talisman was different from other princes in some details, it was a private custom-made model, and when he saw this talisman, he was already able to show his identity, and this token was enough to order.

And the ironclad general's next reaction was even more strange, as if he was waiting for Li Jinglong to reveal his identity, he breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got out of the way, and said respectfully: "The last general will see Cao Guogong, I don't know that the prince of the country is coming, please ask the prince of the country to be rude, please follow the general into the city." ”

Jiang Xinghuo looked at him thoughtfully.

This person is like taking the offending task issued by his superiors and having to complete it, and after going through the process, he looks like he is finally free.

"Hmm."

Li Jinglong should have also noticed this, nodded slightly, then turned over his horse, led his team, and strode into the Zhenhai Acropolis.

The city of Zhenhaiwei is not small, but because it is close to the sea, the soil is not fertile, even if it is the self-reserved land in front of the houses in the city, there are even many areas that are still barren, obviously not having experienced too much cultivation, this situation can be seen everywhere in the Zhenhai Acropolis.

Not all the military households in the city are soldiers, but most of them are family members such as the elderly, weak, women and children, and their nutritional situation is not optimistic.

This situation is obviously very abnormal.

After all, the land in the east of Taicang Prefecture is Zhenhaiwei's military field, and Zhenhaiwei guards the mouth of the Yangtze River, not to mention anything else, at least the meat such as fish and shrimp is enough, the imperial court does have a ban on fishing, but it is impossible for a living person to be suffocated to death by urine, this kind of regulation is impossible to strictly implement to the guard here, don't you see the Chongming Shasuo on Chongming Island Dundun big fish and prawns?

Jiang Xinghuo and Li Jinglong rode horses, walking slowly along the street, while appreciating the customs and things on the street.

"The military households here are not hungry."

After walking for a while, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but sigh

Li Jinglong nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at the place where the commander was in the city, the ironclad general was relieved and separated from the two.

Among the commanders of the yamen, the commander of Zhenhaiwei is called Wang Wen, he is a middle-aged man, with a powerful figure, a circle of beard on his cheeks, and a majestic face, looking like a rather calm figure.

He's directing the soldiers, burning something.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked into the distance.

"Commander, Cao Guogong is here, and there should be a national teacher with him."

Wang Wen narrowed his eyes, revealing a vigilant expression, and at the same time, an irrepressible irritability surged from his chest.

He ignored the two groups of messengers sent by Li Jinglong, and deliberately asked the ironclad general to delay time, but it was still too late.

"Don't burn it, pour it into the sea if you can't finish it!"

In desperation, Wang Wen had to go to meet the two.

"What is this burning? From afar, you can see a lot of smoke. ”

Wang Wen said with a smile: "What about burning charcoal, it's too cold these days, and it has just been sunny recently, so hurry up and prepare some. Guogong, I don't know that you are coming, it is really far away. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Li Jinglong waved his hand, and then pointed to Jiang Xinghuo beside him: "The national teacher is also here, Commander Wang, don't you mind letting your subordinates take refuge temporarily, right?" ”

Wang Wen glanced at Jiang Xinghuo, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, nodded and said, "Of course I don't mind." ”

Negotiating with the army, Li Jinglong was much easier than Jiang Xinghuo, so Jiang Xinghuo didn't take the lead just now, but the next thing was Jiang Xinghuo's business.

As soon as the gate was closed, Cao Ada led a group of armor soldiers to vigilantly guard the door.

The soldiers of the brigade have already entered the city, although Zhen Haiwei's attitude is very strange, but in this place, there is no real thing.

There were only a few people in the room, and Jiang Xinghuo ordered: "Take out the information of Zhenhaiwei's military field and show it to me." ”

"Yes, Master Kuni."

Wang Wen had already prepared, and quickly asked people to bring the information and documents.

Jiang Xinghuo took it, glanced at these brochures casually, and then flipped through one volume and read them carefully page by page.

After a while, Jiang Xinghuo closed the booklet, put it aside, and asked, "What's your name, and how long have you been in Zhenhai Acropolis?" ”

Wang Wen hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Back to the national teacher, under Wang Wen, I have been coming to Zhenhai Acropolis for seventeen years. ”

Jiang Xinghuo nodded, seventeen years, that is, since the establishment of the Zhenhai Acropolis, according to his age, it is not like a person who can become a commander at the age of twenty with his military exploits, so most of them are the successors of the father and the son.

Then, contrary to Wang Wen's expectations, Jiang Xinghuo and Li Jinglong did not attack the matter of the messenger's detention, but asked Wang Wen to call other middle and senior officers of Zhenhaiwei over for questioning.

Although Zhenhaiwei is not satisfied, there is no difference between the establishment and other guards of the Ming army, with a total of 5,000 households on the left, right, middle, front and back, the standard establishment is 1120 people for a house, 120 people for a hundred households, and below the 100 households is to set up 2 general flags (50 people under each general flag) and 10 small flags (10 people under each small flag).

In terms of officers, in addition to Wang Wen, the commander of the third rank, the middle and senior officers in the Acropolis also include the commander of the third rank, the commander of the fourth rank, and the Wei Zhenfu of the fifth rank, and these officers are generally hereditary.

However, Jiang Xinghuo quickly found a breakthrough.

Although some people were sick in Wang Wen's mouth and it was inconvenient to come, Li Jinglong still asked Cao Adaa to lead troops to "invite" all the middle and senior officers of Zhenhaiwei.

And in this, there is really Wang Wen who is unwilling to let him show up, which is also the reason why Wang Wen detained the messenger before, just to buy time for various preparations.

Among them, one of them was Wei Zhenfu who was promoted from Wu Songjiang, and Wu Songjiang and Baoshan were both transferred to participate in the action of controlling the water in the south of the Yangtze River because they were close to Songjiang Mansion before.

"When was it transferred?"

"Returning to the National Teacher, I just transferred to Zhenhaiwei this year."

"Oh."

Jiang Xinghuo nodded, and asked again: "How much do you know about the situation of Zhenhai Acropolis?" Tell the truth. ”

"The national teacher really wants to know?" Li Zhenfu asked rhetorically.

"Of course."

"Then ask the national teacher and Cao Guogong to protect me, if I say it, Zhenhaiwei will definitely not be able to stay."

Li Jinglong chuckled lightly, and only said: "Don't say that it is to protect you, you come truthfully, even if you are transferred to another place to be promoted to be a fellow acquaintance, it is also a common thing to do things, there is really important information, the national teacher and I are happy, why is it difficult to reward you as a commander?" ”

Seeing the promises made by these two big Buddhas in person, this Li Zhenfu finally put his mind at ease and truthfully confessed all kinds of inside stories of Zhenhaiwei.

I don't know if I don't hear it, but it's really shocking enough to hear it.

No wonder Zhen Haiwei was so weird before, it turned out that he was worried that the lid would not be covered.

Jiang Xinghuo directly threw aside the booklet in his hand, these were all carefully compiled, and they were definitely different from the actual situation.

According to Li Zhenfu's oral account, although Zhenhaiwei's military land is still in the name of various military households, in fact, 60 percent has been encroached upon, and in addition to the generals at all levels, the rest of the bulk is about 35 percent, and it is the area where Zhenhaiwei's soil condition is better, and it was swallowed by Zhang Xin, the governor of Caoyun and the Marquis of Longping.

In fact, these military households were reduced to Zhang Xin's tenant farmers.

And the generals of Zhenhaiwei also obtained Zhang Xin's protection and backing through this kind of benefit transfer.

And because Zhenhaiwei directly guards the mouth of the Yangtze River and has his own fleet, he usually helps Zhang Xin do some smuggling business from Caodong, and the generals can be said to make a lot of money.

It is precisely because the interests of both sides are highly tied that Zhenhaiwei tacitly chose to cover the lid from the command envoy Wang Wen to the generals at all levels below, and because their methods are not clever or there is not much room for choice, people can see at a glance that something is wrong.

"Interesting."

Li Jinglong raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "What are you going to do?" ”

Jiang Xinghuo stared at Li Jinglong with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Control Zhenhaiwei up and down first, is there enough people to bring?" ”

Li Jinglong was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's not difficult, the middle and senior generals are here, shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, and the rest of them won't mess around." ”

"You also have a mission." Li Jinglong pointed at Li Zhenfu.

When Li Zhenfu heard this, he immediately said, "Please give instructions to the Duke of the Kingdom." ”

Li Jinglong said with a smile: "Your task is simple, that is, to control the other low-level officers of Zhenhaiwei, and then say something when we convene." ”

Li Zhenfu immediately nodded in agreement, and then said, "There is no problem with this, but what about Commander Wang?" ”

"Then you can rest assured."

Jiang Xinghuo said indifferently: "If you don't resist, then tie it up, if you dare to resist, just kill it." ”

Li Zhenfu was so shocked that his fingers were trembling, although he had the intention of killing people with a knife just now, otherwise he would not have said this, but with his few words that had no real evidence, this national teacher who didn't talk much was going to kill the commander of Zheng Sanpin? Aren't you afraid that you will lie and kill your mistakes?

This is actually Li Zhenfu's worry, but the information he has learned at his level is just different from Jiang Xinghuo's.

Of course, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't rely on his confession to kill people, before coming, Jinyiwei and the tax guard had already roughly explored and learned some of the situation of Zhenhaiwei, and the cattiness in this was obvious, and anyway, since Wang Wendu had this perfunctory attitude, he would kill if he dared to resist and kill. Is the military attache of the third rank very high?

Li Jinglong laughed, then patted Li Zhenfu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Zhenhaiwei is just a trivial matter." ”

Li Zhenfu hurriedly bowed down and said, "I understand. ”

"Hmm!"

Li Jinglong nodded with satisfaction, and said again: "Okay, it's none of your business now, you can rest and wait for the order first." ”

Li Zhenfu stood up and took his leave.

When Li Zhenfu walked out of the room, Li Jinglong's face immediately became gloomy.

His gaze flashed with a cold coldness, and the corners of his mouth outlined a cold arc.

"Zhang Xin, hum!"

"This time, I must clean up Zhenhaiwei."

Li Jinglong whispered, a hideous expression appeared on his face.

On weekdays, how can there be such a legitimate opportunity to engage in these people he doesn't like? But now Zhang Xin got carried away and took the initiative to hand over the opportunity.

In fact, Li Jinglong is not strange at all, it is really not strange, because history is reincarnation, and the lesson that people learn from history is that they can't learn any lessons, in the Hongwu Dynasty, Li Jinglong witnessed so many princes (because Zhu Yuanzhang is basically a prince to Wuchen, and the earls are very few, and most of them are given to Wenchen) were involved in a big case, and finally broke his bones.

Which of those princes of the Hongwu Dynasty is not a great achievement? Which is not loved by the emperor? But in the end?

Li Jinglong knows that the emperor's love is temporary, and if he really floats with merit and favor, then he is not far from death.

When it comes to being suspicious and cruel, Zhu Di is not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang, but he is by no means a good person, so Zhang Xin's behavior is death in the eyes of Li Jinglong, who has seen too many temple turmoil.

In the final analysis, five years ago, Zhang Xin was just a commander of the Northern Parallel Metropolitan Command Department, and at best he had just stepped into the threshold of a high-ranking general.

So the upstart suddenly rose up and leaped past his old boss Zhenyuan Hou Gu Cheng, and it was strange that Zhang Xin did not swell.

Gu Cheng, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, followed Zhu Yuanzhang from the founding of the country to the south and the north, and completely experienced the bloody Hongwu Dynasty, and people were very low-key, but Zhang Xin couldn't help it.

And with the illegal occupation of land in Changshu County, and with these worse evidence of Zhenhaiwei, Zhang Xin may not be able to die, but the loss of power is inevitable, and if this happens, even if he blocks the atomic bomb for Zhu Di, it is impossible for him to stay in the position of the governor of Caoyun anymore.

"What are you doing?"

There were exclamations outside.

The soldiers received Li Jinglong's order and directly detained these Zhenhaiwei generals.

Wang Wen said angrily: "Bastard, you dare to attack the generals of Zhenhaiwei? Are you rebelling? ”

Li Jinglong came out at this time and scolded: "Commander Wang, what you are asking is interesting, isn't Zhenhaiwei from the national dynasty?" The military order of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is here, who wants to rebel? ”

Of course, the military order in Li Jinglong's hand was signed and sealed by him in his own name, but what can Wang Wen say?

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies has its own jurisdiction, and the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army is responsible for the various guards of Nanzhili, the Henan Metropolitan Division, and the Central Capital Left-behind Division, so what is Li Jinglong's full title? Cao Guogong, Zhu Guo, Doctor Tejin Guanglu, Fengtian Fuyun Tui Cheng Xuanli Wuchen, Zuo Du Governor of the Chinese Army, and Five-Star General.

After the transfer of Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qiguo, Li Jinglong is the supreme governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, and Wang Wen, the boss of Zhenhaiwei's command envoy to the ceiling, what can he say?

"This" Wang Wen said.

This is indeed the case, but Wang Wen can't say it, he just thinks that so many Zhenhaiwei's generals are controlled, and Zhenhaiwei will definitely be dissatisfied, maybe things will take a turn for the better.

But in fact, Wang Wen also knows that he is afraid that the East Window incident happened. What he colluded with the governor of Caoyun and Zhang Xin, the Marquis of Longping, was not enough to cut off his two heads.

"You don't have to worry about Zhenhaiwei's affairs, you shut up for me first."

Li Jinglong didn't bother to look at him, and directly ordered: "Take them all, take care of them strictly, and drag them out later." ”

"Guogong, what are you?"

Li Zhenfu was dumbfounded, is he so resolute?

Li Jinglong didn't answer him, just looked at Li Zhenfu and said lightly: "Li Zhenfu, it's time for you to play." ”

After that, he ordered everyone to gather the military households of Zhenhaiwei.

After a short time, a large number of military families gathered on the school field outside.

This was originally a place for military training and military parades, and it was perfect for meetings at this time.

After Li Jinglong opened the sect, he let Li Zhenfu come to power to expose the crimes of Wang Wen and others.

The military households with dishes in the audience didn't believe it at first, and no one could have imagined that Wang Wen, the demon king of the mixed world who had been rampant and domineering in Zhenhaiwei for more than ten years, would be planted like this.

After the news gradually spread, everyone was dumbfounded.

Who is Wang Wen? From the time when his father was the commander, he was the emperor of the soil, he was the prince of the land of Zhenhaiwei, and the people he raised were all murderous and fierce, and the people who worked under him were not trembling?

But at this time, someone knocked Wang Wen down to a mortal.

Wang Wen's status in Zhenhaiwei was originally like a big mountain, but once the mountain collapsed, it naturally had no deterrent effect.

However, no one could not have expected that this day would come so suddenly, which shocked the military households of Zhenhaiwei, but the shock was shocked, and they were soon relieved.

Wang Wen's face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "The national teacher, the national prince, I haven't done that."

"You still want to quibble? Do you think we don't know about the situation in Zhenhaiwei? ”

There are some things that Jiang Xinghuo can't say, but Li Jinglong can be a substitute for him.

Li Jinglong sneered, and then said, "Or do you want to say, do you think the people behind you can protect you?" Tell you, in front of his own country, he is not qualified enough! ”

Wang Wen was speechless for a moment.

Li Jinglong continued: "Do you think that there are people behind you who can favor you Wang Wen, so easy to fool the past? In the past few years, not only has it not converged, but it has become more and more unscrupulous, and you are looking for death by yourself. ”

"Guogong, you are wronged."

Wang Wen cried and shouted grievances with a sad face, but soon found that in front of the two powerful bigwigs like Jiang Xinghuo and Li Jinglong, the national teacher, his own defense was obviously useless.

"What kind of goods are you, I think I know better in my heart, don't take yourself too seriously, it's just a chess piece, now I can explain honestly, and I can still get off lightly." Jiang Xinghuo lightly mended the knife.

Wang Wen opened his mouth and stammered, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence: "Can't you really leave a way for Zhenhaiwei to live?"

Li Jinglong's eyes stared at Wang Wen sharply, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

Li Jinglong shook his head and said: "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to hide it from me, and I have no interest in knowing, what you have done over the years, you know it yourself, and what you have done is enough to cut you with a thousand knives!" ”

"Guogong."

Wang Wen's face was pale, and there was no blood at all.

Li Jinglong's hand was raised lightly, and he scolded: "Face these military households, kneel down!" ”

When Wang Wen heard this, his body stiffened in place, his eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.

Li Jinglong's voice became a little more severe, and he shouted: "Kneel!" ”

At this time, the audience heard about these military households throughout the whole process, and they didn't know who was the first to speak, and they also shouted like a tsunami.

"Get on your knees!"

Wang Wen didn't dare to disobey, so he held his knees and moved to the ground step by step.

His heart was full of anger and unwillingness.

actually forced him to kneel, and it was the first time in his life that he had suffered such humiliation!

"Smack! Syllable! ”

There was a young man in the audience who couldn't help jumping up and gave Wang Wenliang a mouthful.

Two loud ear scrapers slapped on Wang Wen's face, which directly stunned Wang Wen, and he forgot to react for a while.

"We are the military households of Zhenhaiwei, not your slaves!"

The audience was excited, and more and more accusations were spoken.

"Guogong, Guogong, listen to me, I was wronged, I really didn't" Wang Wen shouted desperately.

"Shut up."

Li Jinglong glared at him: "I won't kill you today, and keep you as a witness, otherwise you would have died a moth." ”

Jiang Xinghuo turned around and beckoned to the soldiers: "Drag it down." ”

Wang Wen's voice stopped abruptly, and a panicked look appeared on his face, the commander of Zhenhaiwei was actually lassoed by the soldiers with ropes, like a pig tied up for the New Year, and dragged out.

He struggled desperately, his voice hoarse, and he almost wanted to cry, but it was of no use at all, and he was quickly dragged away.

Li Jinglong was satisfied with handing over the leadership of the scene to Jiang Xinghuo.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the excited military households in the audience and motioned for them to be quiet.

Subsequently, Jiang Xinghuo said: "The reason why everyone is like this today, in fact, you don't know it, it's not that our Zhenhaiwei doesn't have enough fields and food to feed, but that it was divided up by a scourge like Wang Wen, and even used it to flatter his superiors." ”

Jiang Xinghuo paused for a moment and continued: "Our Zhenhaiwei has so much fertile land, if we take good care of it and use chemical fertilizers, the annual output will be considerable, but the grain harvested by the crops in these fields has been taken away by Wang Wen and these people, and it is not in the hands of ordinary military households. Now, Wang Wen's evil deeds have been exposed, and the court cannot sit idly by. ”

"What do you mean?"

Offstage, a soldier stood up and asked angrily.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the soldier under the stands, and said in a deep voice: "Today's matter must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles, not only will it affect the entire Zhenhaiwei, but even the imperial court, so from today onwards, Zhenhaiwei will clear the field again, are you willing to cooperate without concealment?" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone in the audience replied without hesitation.

Jiang Xinghuo smiled with satisfaction and said: "In this case, all the military households involved in this matter today must gather outside the city, and no one is allowed to be missed. ”

The excitement of the crowd was ignited, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes swept over everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Wen has been exposed, Zhenhaiwei has a chance to get back on track, so this matter, no matter who it is, must cooperate with the work, condemn the crime to death, so that these people have no room to turn over, we must let the world see clearly, our Zhenhaiwei's action is just, Wang Wen and others are complete moths, they are the ones who harmed Zhenhaiwei's military households, and at the same time, this matter must be played by Your Majesty." ”

Jiang Xinghuo's words were impassioned and resonated with the military and civilians.

At this time, an elderly military household stood up and said respectfully: "National teacher, I have something to say about my humble position." ”

"Say." Jiang Xinghuo's tone was gentle, not hurried.

"Wang Wen has committed many crimes, and not killing is really not enough to make the people angry."

"Yes!"

As soon as the elder military household's voice fell, several military households chimed in.

Although these military households don't understand any big truths, they have the most intuitive feeling about the oppression given to them by Wang Wen and others, so they are very supportive of this approach, and they all grew up here, and they don't have so many overall considerations, but they just feel that killing at this time is the most relieving hatred.

The military households expressed their positions one after another, and soon won the unanimous approval of all military households.

"Kill Wang Wen."

"Punish him for the Nine Clans!"

The audience was excited, and the military households were eager to try one by one.

This made Jiang Xinghuo very relieved, and couldn't help but be secretly happy, it seems that this time the crisis of Zhenhaiwei has been lifted.

Jiang Xinghuo bowed slightly, with a touch of joy on his face, and said: "Everyone rest assured, the imperial court will never live up to everyone's expectations, and will definitely let Wang Wen and others be punished, however, this matter is extraordinary, Qingtian needs everyone's assistance, and only by getting tangible evidence can it be." ”

All this, in the final analysis, still has to be cleaned up from the military field.

Zhenhaiwei, in fact, judging from the population and the area of military land, it is more than enough to feed these people.

With the active participation of a large number of military households, all the military fields under Zhenhaiwei were quickly cleared in just four days.

The data obtained by Qingzhang Juntian must be somewhat different from the data in Li Zhenfu's mouth, but on the whole, the discrepancy is not big.

Jiang Xinghuo originally thought that this kind of situation of directly driving military households as tenant farmers only began to appear in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the system of the Wei Institute in the middle and late stages was completely eroded, but now it seems that it is simple, Zhenhaiwei has been established for less than 20 years, and it has already become like this, this is still in Nanzhili, which is considered the ruling core circle of the Ming Dynasty, and other places really dare not imagine what it looks like.

Therefore, the Battle of Jingyan only objectively accelerated the transformation of the Ming army's military system from the guard system to the conscription system, and it was not the main reason at all.

And after getting the tangible evidence, all the acres of land were re-distributed and returned to the military households, Jiang Xinghuo and other Qingtian in Taicang Prefecture were also completed, and went north to Changshu with Li Jinglong, where they would get all the evidence that was enough to bring down Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin, who escaped the robbery of the Lianghuai Salt Envoy Si Corruption Ink last year, is considered to be in the catastrophe this time.
