Chapter 227: Specific Arrangements
After Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou responded, they sat down in their positions.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started!"
After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he immediately turned his head to the side, as if asking Zhao Zhenji's opinion.
"Well, let's get started."
Zhao Zhenji nodded and responded.
"A few days ago, this official received a letter of help from Cao Shunhe, the governor of Jiangxi!"
After Hu Zongxian looked around, he immediately threw this bombshell.
"What?"
Except for those who knew the news in advance, the rest of the people all showed horror on their faces.
"Governor of Jiangxi, this is a feudal official appointed by His Majesty!"
"What happened to make the highest governor of a province write a letter for help?"
Hu Zongxian seemed to see the doubts in everyone's hearts, and then explained.
"In his letter, Cao Shunhe, the governor of Jiangxi, described in detail the current situation in Jiangxi, where the local salt merchants colluded with officials to capsize the imperial court's ship transporting official salt!"
"So as to achieve their goal of hoarding and making huge profits!"
"If that's the case, there's no need to make a big move, the key is that these officials have joined forces to put Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe in the air!"
"At present, Jiangxi's political envoys, envoys, and commanders no longer obey the orders of Cao Shun and the governor of Jiangxi! Therefore, they can be treated as rebel forces. ”
"What? These officials are so bold that they dare to elevate the governor of a province! ”
Ma Ningyuan, who was on the side, also exclaimed after listening to Hu Zongxian's explanation.
And Zheng Michang and He Maocai, who were on the side, were also relieved after listening to Hu Zongxian's explanation, and secretly rejoiced.
"Fortunately, I have always dared not disobey Hu Zongxian's orders!"
Hu Zongxian then withdrew his gaze and continued.
"When the official and the Lord Chincha learned of this, they reported it to His Majesty."
"And Your Majesty's side also quickly gave a reply, asking this official to personally lead the army and rush to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion!"
If the previous news brought everyone only surprise, the current news made everyone feel extremely shocked!
"Did I hear me right? The imperial court actually wanted to send a large army to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion! ”
"And this also means that those officials in Jiangxi have been labeled as anti-thieves by the imperial court, and no matter what, they will inevitably die!"
Just as everyone present was still slowly digesting the news, Hu Zongxian threw out another shocking news.
"In this operation, His Majesty also specially sent the Jinyi Guard to assist!"
"What? Jinyiwei! Your Majesty actually sent the Jinyi Guard to help! ”
When Hu Zongxian mentioned Jinyiwei, Zheng Michang and He Maocai on the side couldn't help but shudder, with lingering fear in their eyes.
No matter who it is, as long as they are targeted by Jinyiwei, the final fate will not escape a dead word!
After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and continued.
"Before this, this officer has already prepared all the food, grass, ordnance, silver and other materials needed by the army!"
"Now, it's time."
After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou on the side and asked.
"At present, how has the reorganization of the troops been completed?"
Seeing Hu Zongxian's question, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou hurriedly got up from their seats and replied respectfully.
"Report to the Governor, the army is now almost reorganized, and it is ready to go out at any time!"
"Well, that's good."
After listening to the reports of the two, Hu Zongxian nodded reassuringly.
As their boss, Hu Zongxian knows Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou very well, these two are not only brave and dedicated, but also strategic, they are rare handsome!
Therefore, the words that came out of the mouths of these two people have a high degree of credibility.
At this moment, Zheng Michang, who was on the side, plucked up his courage, got up from his seat, and asked Hu Zongxian.
"Your Excellency the Governor, since you are about to lead your army to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion! Who should handle the affairs of the Doge's Palace? ”
And Hu Zongxian just glanced at Zheng Michang, and then ordered.
"This official intends to leave the affairs of the Governor's Palace to you."
"After all, you did a good job last time, and nothing went wrong."
When Zheng Michang heard Hu Zongxian's words, he was a little flattered, and hurriedly assured Hu Zongxian.
"Don't worry, Lord Governor, the lower official will definitely live up to your trust in the lower official."
"If there is any mistake in the middle, the lower official is willing to come and see him!"
Hu Zongxian was noncommittal to Zheng Michang's assurance, and then turned his gaze to Ma Ningyuan on the side and instructed.
"During this period of the official's absence, it is still in accordance with the previous resolution, and it is enough to slowly implement the change of rice to mulberry, and it is absolutely impossible to cause chaos, understand?"
"Yes, Your Excellency Governor, the Lower Officers understand."
Faced with Hu Zongxian's advice, Ma Ningyuan looked extremely serious and replied.
"Well, in that case, sit down, all of you."
After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he motioned for a few people to sit down, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Zhenji on the side and asked.
"What do you have to add?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zhao Zhenji coughed lightly twice and added.
"Your Majesty attaches great importance to this operation, and I hope that all of you here can work hard and try not to make any mistakes."
"When the army is triumphant, this official will personally give a concert to His Majesty and ask for credit for you!"
Seeing Zhao Zhenji speak, everyone got up from their seats and answered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Chincha-sama!"
……
Jiangxi, Nanchang Province.
At this moment, Liang Hong, Li Yide, and He Jin are gathering in the box to discuss the next strategy.
The table was full of all kinds of delicacies, but none of the three of them bothered to use chopsticks, but kept drinking.
"Here, cheers!"
With a smile on his face, Li Yide raised the wine glass in his hand high and said loudly.
The remaining two didn't say anything, just silently touched the wine glass in their hand with Li Yide, and the wine glass touched each other, making a crisp sound.
Li Yide put down the wine glass in his hand, turned his gaze to the remaining two, and spoke.
"How's this wine? This is the last time we left Cao Shunhe's place, he personally sent someone to my house! ”
I saw Liang Hong slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, and said in response.
"It tastes pretty good, it's similar to the wine we drank at the mansion last time."
"Now that we've drunk the wine, it's time for us to talk about dividends, right?"
Li Yide withdrew his gaze from Liang Hong and He Jin, and said slowly.
"Well, according to the previously agreed share, my Liang family accounts for forty percent, the He family accounts for three percent, and the Li family accounts for three percent!"
"Right now, the income from salt shops in the province totals 17.62 million taels!"
"According to the previously agreed share, my Liang family will get 7.048 thousand taels, the He family will get 5.286 million taels, and your Li family will also get 5.286 million taels!"
Liang Hong, who was on the side, after listening to Li Yide's words, quickly calculated the part that each family deserved through mental arithmetic.
"Do you have any objection to this number?"
After Liang Hong finished speaking, he immediately turned his gaze to the other two and asked.
"I don't have any objection to this amount, but in such a short period of time, I have earned so much silver, I really don't want to stop!"
Li Yide on the side said, picked up a chopstick dish from the plate and put it in his mouth.
"Yes, in less than two weeks, I have earned so much silver! Moreover, this is in addition to the cost. ”
He Jin on the side also followed Ying He after getting up and pouring himself a glass of wine.
"You say, do we want to do the same and do it a few more times?"
Li Yide, who was on the side, hesitated for a moment and then proposed the idea to the others.
And Liang Hong, after listening to Li Yide's words, looked uncertain, as if he was considering the risks.
After a long time, I saw that he categorically refused: "No, the same trick can't be played a second time!" ”
"If Cao Shun and the dog are forced to jump off the wall in a hurry, then we will lose more than we gain!"
After listening to Liang Hong's admonition, Li Yide disagreed and retorted.
"Right now, is there anyone else available in this Cao Shunhe's hands?"
"His every move is under our watch! Even if he wanted to deliver the corresponding news to the imperial court, his recital would be stopped halfway through. ”
"Besides, we are protected by those big officials in the capital, what are we afraid of?"
After listening to Li Yide's analysis, He Jin on the side was also a little moved, and then admonished Liang Hong.
"Yes, right now, Cao Shun and the governor of Jiangxi are just an empty shelf! You can't live by looking at our faces yet. ”
"If we are unhappy one day, we will raise the price of salt even higher!"
"When the time comes, the people below will rise up to make trouble, and he, Cao Shunhe, will not have to give in obediently?"
After listening to the analysis of these two people, Liang Hong still insisted on his previous judgment.
"No matter what, I still think it's right to be safe, after all, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!"
"Besides, lately I've had a vague premonition, as if something big was going to happen."
Liang Hong immediately withdrew his gaze and said with a palpitating face.
