Chapter 452: It's a hard hand
The third lady came back to her senses and was about to explain a few words, but Lin Tailai turned around and went to arrange other things.
After a while, Lin Tailai waved his hand to the third lady and said, "It is not advisable for foreigners to stay in the town for a long time, you should go back to the side wall first!" β
In the face of Governor Xu, Lin Jiuyuan, Hanlin and Qincha were equal in status and status, and they would be beaten when they started fighting, and at most they beat each other.
But for a special character like the three ladies who is similar to the grassland version of Wu Zetian, he cannot be imprisoned without authorization, this is a matter of principle.
But the third lady replied coldly: "I won't go." β
Lin Tailai was surprised and said, "Why are you still angry?" A character like you shouldn't have this kind of girlish emotion. β
The third lady was so angry that she wanted to pull out the short knife on her waist and give Lin Tailai a chance to reorganize her language.
But thinking of the scene of Lin Tailai's hundred enemies just now, in the end, reason prevailed, and he replied:
"If I'm gone now, I really can't tell, and I'm not at your mercy to orchestrate and smear at will?"
Lin Tailai smiled: "I'm really not stupid. β
The third lady was a little puzzled, I heard that this double champion is only in his early twenties, why does he not have a sense of "immaturity" at all?
Lin Tailai turned his head to his subordinates and asked, "Hasn't our Xuanfu Chief Military Officer come to wash the floor yet?" β
The three provincial-level divisions of the Ming Dynasty are the political envoys, the inspection envoys, and the commanders, which are regarded as the three giants in the provincial-level regions.
But with the evolution of centralized power, the old triumvirate declined, and the new triumvirate was the governor, the chief military officer of the town guard, and the town guard eunuch.
At present, the chief military officer is the highest-ranking military attache in the provincial region, and of course the actual status is still lower than that of the governor.
The current chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, Li Yingen, was transferred from Shanxi Town in the fifteenth year of Wanli and replaced Li Rusong, who was squeezed away by Governor Xu.
Now Xuanfu Town has not had a major war for nearly 20 years, and the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, who was always in crisis, has also lived a 9-to-5 retirement life.
Every time he thinks back to the first half of his life, licking blood from the knife and fighting every year, General Li always feels that the current situation is very illusory, like being a fake chief military officer.
It's a bit of a day. It was too bland, and in the back hall of the General Military Administration, General Li felt spring sleepiness.
Suddenly, a white-haired old soldier in his fifties rushed into the back hall of the General Military Administration and shouted:
"There is a rebellion in the city, the number may be nearly a thousand, and they are besieging Lin Qincha on the side of the Xuanfu avant-garde command Hei Xiao's mansion!"
Hearing that there were chaotic soldiers, Mr. Li's first reaction was that it was finally a little uneventful?
Li Yingen grew up 20 years ago in the generation of Governor Wang Chonggu and Governor Fang Fengfeng for large-scale rectification and large-scale military training, and his basic qualities are very good, and his rapid response is still there.
He immediately stood up and ordered directly: "Assemble the standard camp!" β
Then, as he walked out, he asked, "Whose rebels?" β
The old soldier replied: "I heard that Deputy Chief Soldier Zhang Fufu has been gathering people in private for the past few days. β
Li Yingen immediately understood that this was probably the handiwork of Governor Xu, and usually Zhang Fufu and Governor Xu were in the same group.
It seems that the inexperienced young Qincha didn't grasp the scale of doing things, and he was yin!
Poor little young Chincha, officialdom does not believe in tears.
There's nothing wrong with you wanting to be a governor, but you didn't come to win over and buy the chief officer, who is unlucky if you don't have luck?
General Li had just arrived at the standard camp and ordered 500 men and horses, but a spy came to report: "There have been chaotic troops in the governor's line, and under the banner of Qincha, they have already attacked the line!" β
Li Yingen: "......"
So the current situation is that the governor sent troops to besiege the Qincha garrison, and the Qincha led troops to attack the governor's line?
Engage each other with mutiny, what kind of civil officials are these?
Is there any essential difference between this and street gangsters gathering their accomplices to fight in groups?
Ah no, this is an advanced manifestation of political struggle.
Therefore, it is no longer a technical problem such as a mutiny, but a political problem.
Li Yingen and Li Zongbing summed it up in their hearts and decided to rush to the governor's line.
The reason is also very simple, in case something happens to the Qin mission, the governor will be responsible; But if something happens to the governor, he can only take responsibility himself.
Therefore, the situation on the governor's side is even more important, although Li Zongbing does not like to accept money.
When I came to the gate of the governor's line, I saw dozens of "rebels" guarding the gate.
Li Yingen listened carefully, and there was no sound of shouting and killing in Xingyuan, which showed that Lin Qincha's soldiers had taken down the governor's Xingyuan.
What a rubbish! Li Yingen said with contempt in his heart.
In just a while, the governor's line fell, and he didn't know what the governor's standard camp was for.
For these dozens of officers and soldiers guarding the door, Chief Officer Li Yingen didn't care, and raised his legs to go inside.
However, these subordinate officers and soldiers actually blocked the gate and refused to let General Li pass.
This made General Li a little annoyed, you guys are done, can't I, the top local military attachΓ©, go in and take a look?
At this time, Lin Qin sent Governor Xu and others to appear in the front yard.
Seeing this, Lin Qincha scolded loudly: "General Li! You're also so old, how can you do such a bad thing! β
What do you mean? Li Yingen didn't react for a while.
Lin Tailai continued to reprimand Mr. Li and said, "Don't you know? This is a mutiny! This is the scene of the mutiny! β
I saw Lin Tailai pointing to Governor Xu, who was tied up and gagged by Wuhuada, and said, "Chief Li, are your eyes broken, don't you see that the governor has been held hostage by the rebels?" β
Li Yingen's old eyes widened, Lin Qincha, what do you want to say?
Lin Tailai kept asking: "When facing the rebels who have already held your superiors hostage, you don't even ask about the demands of the rebels, and you want to forcibly break in regardless of the safety of the hostages?"
Have you always been so reckless in the face of rebels?
Have you been eaten by dogs in all your decades of experience? How did you become the chief officer? β
Li Yingen finally understood that what he was facing was not Lin Qincha, who had finished closing the stall, but the leader of the rebels who was still making trouble.
Lin Tailai saw that Li Yingen had set up a correct position, and immediately continued: "There are three major crimes in accepting money, and we ask the court to deal with Xu collecting money!"
Mr. Li, as the only remaining highest-ranking official, it is your responsibility to relay our demands to the imperial court!
Although Lin Tailai has not mutined many times and lacks experience, he has seen a large number of cases in his previous life. Every military coup d'Γ©tat is followed by radio and television stations.
In the same way, after the mutiny, the most important thing must be how to export public opinion to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can fully understand its own side.
Lin Tailai felt that he was a bit blunt to play in person, like being both a referee and an athlete, so he hit the idea on Li Yingen.
After all, in the mutiny, Li Yingen seemed to be neutral, it was easier to win the trust of the imperial court, and Li Yingen's status was strong enough.
Lin Tailai said solemnly: "The first major crime of accepting money is bribery, and it led to the suspension of the spring reward silver of the official army!" β
Li Yingen asked, "Is there any evidence?" β
In the context of the noble and lowly military, a chief military officer does not have the right to tell the governor about the news.
Besides, the spring reward silver was stopped, wasn't it rumored that you Lin Qincha occupied the silver treasury?
Lin Tailai said confidently: "As long as Xu is caught and collected first, the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, and there will definitely be clues and empirical evidence of bribery!"
The second major sin of accepting money is dereliction of duty! Sitting back and watching Qin Cha being chased and killed by the rebels, not only did he refuse to rescue and shelter, but maliciously drove Qin Cha away!
And this is not just a dereliction of duty, it can also be called a murder of the Chincha!
That's why it aroused the anger of the Qincha guards and soldiers, which led to a mutiny, and the governor's gate was broken down, and then it was out of control! β
Li Yingen was stunned, feeling a little incredible, and even illogical.
How much fake wine did Governor Xu drink before he would openly turn away a messenger who could be regarded as being attacked by the rebels?
Even if you are a novice in officialdom, you will not make such a stupid mistake.
Lin Tailai said undoubtedly: "There are a large number of witnesses in this, and many people have heard the governor's order to expel the Qincha team who came to ask for help!" β
Governor Xu, who was tied up and gagged by the five flowers, suddenly struggled desperately, and seemed to want to say something.
But it was still in vain, and he was held down by the rebels.
Lin Tailai didn't even look at Governor Xu, "The third major crime of Xu collecting money is to collude with foreigners and harm Qincha!" β
Li Yingen was even more speechless, this sounds even more nonsense, in today's situation, a foreign clan colluding with a woolen family? What can foreigners give to Governor Xu?
"There's evidence for this, too?" Li Yingen asked.
Lin Tailai said vigorously: "Although there is no empirical evidence, Governor Xu happened to be negotiating with the third lady, and it happened that a few days ago, Qincha ordered the temporary closure of the Zhangjiakou Fort Horse Market and the suspension of the issuance of horse prices.
Then there was an incident in which the governor deliberately used the rebels to harm the Qincha, is this too much of a coincidence?
The above is Governor Xu's crime, and the appeal of the rebels is to ask the court to punish Governor Xu! I bothered Mr. Li to transfer it to the imperial court! β
Li Yingen had a headache and didn't want to get involved at all.
In today's political climate, the "impeachment" of military generals against feudal officials is itself a not very politically correct matter.
In addition, Lin Tailai's so-called "crimes" of Governor Xu are mostly unsubstantiated, and a small number of them have empirical evidence.
If he, Li Yingen, transfers this kind of thing to the imperial court, he will definitely have to take political risks!
Although there are people behind Lin Tailai, why doesn't Governor Xu have strong support in the DPRK?
The year before last, Li Rusong couldn't fight Governor Xu, and last year, some officials impeached Governor Xu to no avail.
He, a military attache who has been promoted beyond promotion, should not have participated in the political game, except for being used as a gun by Lin Tailai, he has no benefits at all.
After careful consideration, General Li said maturely and steadily: "There have been mutinies in the city, and now the whole city is in turmoil.
The most important duty of the official at the moment is to calm the people and stabilize the situation in the city first. β
Lin Tailai suddenly turned his face, "Ben Qin sent a meeting to the Son of Heaven, and the chief military officer Li Yingen did not report it if he knew about it, and he covered up Xu Shouqian's crimes, so he should be deposed!" β
Li Yingen: "."
You Lin Tailai just emphasized that he was a leader of the chaos, and now he is claiming to be a messenger, this posture is too flexible!
What is so good about him Li Yingen that you Lin Tailai insists on forcing him to criticize Governor Xu?
This kind of work shouldn't belong to military generals in the first place! Military generals should not get involved in politics!
Lin Tailai! Don't think that the chief officer won't make a mutiny! If you are in a hurry.
As soon as he thought of this, Mr. Li suddenly felt that the world was turned upside down, and it seemed that his whole body was lifted up.
Then he fell to the ground hard, watching himself being held down by several big men!
I heard someone muttering loudly: "I said it a long time ago, we are rebels." Since you came and refused to agree to the request, let's stay together.
The governor has been held hostage, and he doesn't care about having one more general soldier. β
Li Yingen, who was also tied up by five flowers, shouted angrily: "If you arrest me, no one will be able to stabilize the whole city, and something big will happen!" β
At this moment, suddenly a group of knights rushed into the street outside the gate, led by a middle-aged man in his forties.
He sat on his horse and said to the soldiers who were watching the excitement around him: "This official is from the third rank of the king of politics, Xiangqian!"
All the soldiers returned to the camp, and when the officers comforted the battalions one by one, they personally handed out a reward of silver, and each soldier doubled two taels! β
Some people disbelieve and ask, "Where did you get the money?" β
Wang Xiangqian replied: "This official has just returned from Zhangjiakou Fort, and the horse market has been suspended!"
Therefore, he first embezzled 30,000 horses, and the silver hair doubled the reward silver! If it is still insufficient, then use the governor's private pocket to make up for it! β
Lin Tailai stood at the gate of the governor's line and shouted: "What Wang said in politics, Ben Qincha is also accurate!" β
There was a burst of cheers from the surrounding soldiers, who was not happy about the matter of sending money? Especially double the joy!
Wang Xiangqian urged: "Go back to the camp!" All back to camp! This official will go to the bank of the Ministry of Households! β
Lin Tai turned around and said to Li Yingen: "It seems that it is not difficult to stabilize the whole city, and it is not necessarily necessary for you to come forward, General Li." β
Li Yingen: "."
From the very beginning of your horse, you wanted to "hijack" me, the general soldier, right?
You just beeped with me for a long time, forcing me to do things I don't want to, is it just to waste time?
When this Wang Shenzheng rushed back from Zhangjiakou, sixty miles away, you Lin Tailai immediately turned his face?
Now that the governor, the chief soldier and the Qincha are all here, only the king from Sanpin is the biggest outside! Even if Shang Song Shu explained the situation to the imperial court, it could only be written by Wang Shenzheng!
I've seen people who are praised, but I have never seen such a hard one!
Lin Tailai pointed to the general military officer outside the door and said to Li Yingen: "You let them all disperse, it's good that you are held hostage here, there is no need to be rescued." β
Li Yingen thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the truth
The outside world is too complicated and chaotic, and if you don't get it right, you will be caught in a political storm. But being imprisoned here is carefree and worry-free.
Lin Tailai just wanted to rest, when someone suddenly shouted: "It's all our money!" β
He turned his head to look, but saw the third lady glaring at him angrily.
The first batch of 30,000 taels of silver allocated by the Ming court this year should theoretically be used in the horse market, and then flow into the tribes of the northern captives, but now it has been misappropriated to distribute the silver!
Lin Tailai glared back, what's the matter? Haven't seen bureaucracy? Is this the right attitude for you to ask for a grant?
