Chapter 69: True and False Wokos!
"It's going to be dark soon, why haven't you come yet?"
Shandong, Weihaiwei, wharf.
Today there is a lot of noise here, officers and soldiers guard the docks, and no one is allowed to approach.
On the pier, an official looked at the sky and saw that the sun was already dusk, so he stomped his feet anxiously.
"Hehe, is this an itchy head, are you in a hurry to take it off?"
The crowd on the pier split into two teams.
One group is civilian officials, and the other group is military generals.
When the civilian official was in a hurry, a military attache on the opposite side sneered.
"You..."
The civil official who was looking at the sea had an angry expression when he heard this, and he was about to scold the general.
"Why, I'm not convinced, I look down on you nerds, and you know how to talk all day long...... Babble......... You have the ability to do it! ”
The civil official was angry, and the military general was even more energetic, rolling up his sleeves and pointing at the civil official's nose, which was a sarcastic sarcasm.
"You... Rude Pifu ...... Insulting Sven ......"
The civil official's face was blue and red at his sarcastic face.
But looking at the other party's provocative eyes, as well as the other generals behind the other party, who were eager to try, thought about the combat power, snorted coldly, and threw his sleeves and retreated to the side.
The leaders of the two parties are accustomed to this kind of quarrel.
Not only was he not affected by his subordinates, but he sat together, drank tea, and quietly looked at the sea.
Since the news of the Punching Family spread in Shandong, conflicts have broken out more than once between the two parties in order to shirk their responsibilities.
The civil officials said that the generals did not guard the sea line well and let the Japanese invaders, which caused such a disaster.
The generals refuted that the rumors were completely nonsense, and the murderers who destroyed the Kong family were definitely internal personnel.
The civilian officials said that they were widows, and they were completely shirking their responsibilities and mitigating their punishments, and at the same time pulling the military generals and generals of Shandong into the water together.
The two sides quarreled over this, and even almost fought several times.
The middle and lower classes were arguing, but the upper echelons were very calm, and they didn't even say anything unpleasant.
Middle- and low-level officials are not aware of some problems, but they are very aware of them.
The overall officials in Shandong are completely carrying the black pot for others, and they can't run away from this matter, whether it is a Japanese coward or other murderers.
As for the fate, it all depends on the consideration of the big guy above.
So no matter how they shirk their responsibilities, what the big guy above thinks is what it is.
What they have to do now is not to quarrel and shirk responsibility, but to wait for the above to qualify, and make every effort to complete the arrangements of the above bosses, and strive to reduce their own culpability to the minimum.
Two days ago, an order came from the imperial court.
His Royal Highness the King of Yue had already set off with the army of Pingwei, and the imperial court asked the entire Shandong officials to cooperate with the action.
Shandong is preparing for the Yamen of the Japanese Army, and the Yamen of the Shandong Metropolitan Department strictly guards all places, and must not let the bandits and the Japanese have any more opportunities.
The commander and the generals of more than 1,000 households gathered in Weihaiwei and waited for orders.
On the civilian side, they only asked the political envoys from the left and right and the Jinyi Wei Qianhu to go.
As a result, these civil officials couldn't sit still, so they all came.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Seeing that the last rays of sunlight were about to fall into the earth, a battle of horns suddenly came from the depths of the sea.
"It's coming!"
The commander of the Shandong Beiwei army opened his eyes sharply and looked in the direction where the horn sounded.
Glancing at the sun, which was already falling to the ground, he raised his hand to the generals who were already lined up behind him, "Light the fire and guide the course!" ”
Soon, several huge bonfires were raised on the shore, and more than a dozen small boats were rowed out of the harbor, ready to guide the ships into the dock.
Half an hour later, in the rough mood of the officials, a huge warship docked at the temporary dock.
"Minister, Shandong Bei Wei Du Commander Envoy, Minister, Shandong Commander Envoy, lead all the soldiers of Shandong to welcome His Royal Highness King Yue!"
When Zhu Gaoyu got off the boat and landed on the shore with a calm expression, the generals, led by the two leaders, hurriedly knelt on one knee and bowed down.
In fact, with their rank, there is no need to make such a big gift when they see the vassal king, but who will let their fate be in the hands of others.
To be honest, maybe I was punished, and it would be less.
Zhu Gaoyu didn't look at the generals kneeling together, but looked at the civil officials on the other side, just bowing their hands.
When the civil officials were stared at by their gaze, Zhu Gaoyu opened his mouth leisurely. "Didn't you get the order?"
"Back to Your Highness, the ministers have already received it, but the other colleagues heard that Your Highness is coming, and they want to come and see it with admiration."
Although he hated the roots of his teeth for hating these little brothers, Zuo Bu's political envoy still stood up and found a reason that even he didn't believe.
"Hehe, admire me!"
Zhu Gaoyu was amused by this reason.
Is this excuse more silent?
I still admire him.
If there is no matter of the Kong family, these officials, I am afraid that the court will not remember whether there is a person like him.
"Forget it, admiration is admiration, it's just here, let's deal with it together."
Seeing that Zuo Bu's political envoy was about to explain, Zhu Gaoyu waved his hand and strode towards the tables and chairs set up in the distance.
"Your Highness, the night is windy, and the ministers are preparing a banquet in the city, so why don't you go into the city to rest first."
Seeing Zhu Gaoyu walking towards the seat where they had just rested, the political envoy of Youbu hurriedly stepped forward to invite Zhu Gaoyu into the city.
"Are you hungry?"
Zhu Gaoyu suddenly stopped and saw the political envoy of Youbu with a smile on his face.
Zhu Gaoyu's sudden coldness startled the right political envoy, and he replied with some stammering.
"Minister... Minister... Not hungry..."
Zhu Gaoyu nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, it just so happens that my soldiers are hungry." He pointed to the middle-level civilian officials who followed, "Now take them to cook for my soldiers." ”
"What, let's go cook!"
Right Bu Zhengshi's expression was a little stunned.
Zhu Gaoyu raised his eyebrows, "Don't you want to, if you don't want to, then let's start killing the head directly." ”
As he spoke, Zhu Gaoyu was about to reach into his arms, intending to take out the old man's will.
The left political envoy's eyelids jumped, and he kicked the right political envoy in the ass.
"The soldiers are fighting for their country, so hard, what's wrong with you making a meal? Don't hurry up yet. ”
The political envoy of Youbu, who was already about to kneel on the ground to receive the death, reacted at once, and hurriedly shouted to Zhu Gaoyu: "Your Highness, the minister is willing to cook, and the minister will go to ...... now."
As he spoke, he was still afraid that Zhu Gaoyu would regret it, so he held the official hat on his head, turned around and ran to the shore, beckoning those middle and low-level civil officials to hurry up and work.
"Hahaha......"
There was a burst of laughter in the group of generals.
The laughter made the eyelids of both conductors jump wildly.
Sure enough, they guessed correctly.
Zhu Gaoyu, who heard the laughter, strode to the front of the military generals and looked coldly at the laughing generals.
The laughter gradually stopped, and soon all the generals lowered their heads.
"Isn't it funny, do you want me to give you an hour to make you laugh."
"Although they are civil officials, they are also your colleagues."
"As colleagues, it's okay not to help each other, but to stand aside and laugh."
"Is this what you should do as a Ming official, is this what you should do as a general who is worshiped by the people of the Ming Dynasty?"
"The last will be damned."
The laughing generals hurriedly knelt down on one knee to plead guilty.
"What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and help the adults chop wood."
"The last general commands!"
The generals hurriedly responded to the order, got up and chopped wood for the group of civilian officials.
Zhu Gaoyu glanced at the commander of Shandong Beidu, turned around and walked to the seat.
Seeing this, the two commanders glanced at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They had already seen that the court was going to let them die.
Otherwise, His Royal Highness King Yue would not have punished them like this.
If the imperial court plans to deal with them strictly, it is estimated that King Yue will order them as soon as he gets off the boat, and the accompanying Jinyi guards will detain them.
Thinking of this, the two of them looked again, and they were also looking at their Zuobu political envoy and press inspection envoy.
The four of them nodded, drove away the others behind them, and followed Zhu Gaoyu to their seats.
"Your Highness, please use tea!"
As soon as Zhu Gaoyu sat down, the official position was the lowest among the four, and he stepped forward and poured a cup of tea.
Zhu Gaoyu didn't look at the teacup, and said to the four people: "The affairs of the Kong family, Your Majesty has given me full authority to deal with." ”
"There is a lot of ominous news above the report, you will tell the cause and effect of the matter again."
was affirmed again, and the hearts of the four people were finally relaxed.
As the political history of Zuo Bu, who knows the most about this matter, he told what he knew again.
"By the way, Your Highness."
"After the ministers reported to the court, Kong Kexuan's son escaped alone."
"He told us that it was indeed the Japanese who captured them."
"And the reason why these Japanese robbers were not discovered by the imperial court and came in so easily was because we Ming people led the way for them."
The envoy on the side hurriedly added: "After several wars in Shandong, it is normal that there are no people for hundreds of miles in some areas. ”
"If someone who knows the road is bringing it, it's really hard for us to notice."
Zhu Gaoyu pretended to be pondering, and asked the political envoy of Zuobu: "Where is the son of the Confucian family now?" ”
Zuo Bu's political envoy and the envoy were embarrassed for a moment, and then they resigned: "It's dead." ”
"Dead?" Zhu Gaoyu raised his voice suddenly, stretched out his hand to hate him, and nodded the two of them fiercely.
"My queen mother finally persuaded my father to keep you alive, but why did you find death by yourself."
"Your Highness."
The four of them understood when they heard it, no wonder such a serious thing happened, the Shandong officials were still saving their lives, and the feeling was that the queen mother was sheltering them.
"Ministers are ashamed of the queen."
The two of them kowtowed to the palace with sad faces, and then explained: "Before the people of the Jinyi Guard found him, he was bitten by a snake. ”
"If he just found out that he could save a life, but he ran so far on the mountain road, the snake venom had already spread all over his body, and he would have died after saying a few words to us, and the ministers couldn't save it even if they wanted to."
Zhu Gaoyu was really speechless.
He also wanted to leave a person card and sign the Nan Confucian family by the way.
This is God who has ruined your family, and you can't keep any of them.
It seems that even Kong Lao Er can't stand it, and these children and grandchildren have done it, and they don't even shelter it.
"Alas, that's a pity!"
Zhu Gaoyu sighed and waved his hand to the two, "Forget it, it's not your fault, I believe the court can understand." ”
The two of them were so moved that they almost cried.
The dog's life was saved again.
After the two of them got up, Zhu Gaoyu said solemnly to the four of them: "But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." ”
"After all, the matter of the Kong family is caused by your dereliction of duty, find a few people who are traitors and corrupt and accept bribes on weekdays."
Choosing to let go of the Shandong officials is the meaning of the old man.
After the Jingjing disaster that year, Shandong has been cleaned up, and those who can stay are affirmed by the old man.
For the sake of a piece of stinky shit, the old man is really a little reluctant to clean up so many capable officials.
If they choose to forgive, these officials will definitely be grateful to Dade and work hard for the court.
Although Zhu Gaoyu felt that the dog couldn't change eating, he was not in charge of it after all, and he couldn't change what the old man wanted to arrange.
Moreover, Shandong is still related, and if a group of unfamiliar officials come up at this time, it will not only not help, but will probably also be unhelpful.
The old man thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to take it again.
The four of them understood the meaning of these words, and the court was planning to find a few officials who were unkind to the officials and settle the matter.
And the other officials have all been demerited once, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to be promoted in the future, and there may be suitable people, and they will be eliminated at any time.
But so what?
Compared to being able to save your life, this is already the best result.
"Ministers, thank the emperor!"
The four of them hurriedly kowtowed to Jinling to thank them.
After the four of them got up, Zhu Gaoyu said to Zuo Bu's political envoy: "Next, Weihaiwei will be used as a temporary base for the fleet, you must ensure that the logistics of grain and grass are unimpeded. ”
"Please rest assured, Your Highness!" The political envoy of Zuo Bu hurriedly stretched out his hand to assure, "There will never be a problem with the logistics of the army, and if one person dares to make trouble, the minister will come to see him." ”
In the land of Shandong, the White Lotus Sect is the hardest hit area, from the establishment of the Ming Dynasty to the present, the land of Shandong has been troubled several times.
Zhu Gaoyu looked at it again, and the commander of the Shandong Bei Japanese capital: "I want all the Japanese in Shandong, as well as the location of their lair." ”
The commander of Shandong's Bei Wadu, who had been prepared for a long time, hurriedly took out the notebook from his arms and handed it over.
"This is the result of Chen's investigation over the years, and the resulting widows are all recorded."
Zhu Gaoyu took it and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly.
It didn't seem to be the same as he thought.
In his mind, most of the so-called Japanese Invaders should be composed of Han Chinese, and only a small number of Japanese Invaders.
However, the report of the Yamen commanded by the Shandong Bei Wa Du that most of the Wa Kou were real Wa Kou, and the Ming people were also traitors who led the way for them.
"Your Highness, is there something wrong with the minister's report?"
Noticing Zhu Gaoyu's expression, the commander of Shandong Beiwei sighed in his heart.
Zhu Gaoyu put the notebook on the table next to him, frowned and asked, "I heard that there are a lot of Japanese robbers who are counterfeited by our Ming people, why don't you have a record on it." ”
Zhu Gaoyu's words also stunned the commander of Shandong's Beiwei capital.
He asked suspiciously: "Yes, those are all scum who betray the country and seek glory, leading the way to those widows." ”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to understand something, as if he had misunderstood the meaning of His Highness's words.
"Your Highness, do you want to say that there are some Han people who are looting under the guise of Japanese robbers."
Zhu Gaoyu nodded.
The commander of Shandong Beiwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He still thinks that he has missed something, and His Highness doesn't know about it.
"Your Highness, you don't know anything."
"There are indeed some Han pirates who make trouble in the name of the Japanese pirates."
"However, we are not stupid, we still know the real and the fake."
"It is not allowed to make the slightest mistake in a war, and the combat ability of real and fake Japanese is different, so in order to prevent the above judgment from being wrong."
"These Ming people who pretend to be Japanese pirates, we are all called pirates."
"Only the real Wakos will be named by the Wakos."
"And the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is also very strict about this, and those who lead the army will be beheaded."
Zhu Gaoyu frowned after hearing this, thought for a moment, and seemed to understand some of the questions.
Maybe in the early Ming Dynasty, it was a real Japanese Kou.
And starting from Jiajing, as the imperial court's control over the surroundings began to decline somewhat, those generals also gave the names of those pirates who pretended to be Japanese pirates in order to receive merit.
After all, the head of a pirate is worth much more than the head of a pirate.
And those pirates who have been branded as Japanese pirates, in order to strengthen their own momentum, are also enjoying it.
It is precisely because of this that the Japanese were only a small mess during the Yongle Hongwu period, and the more they went on, the greater the momentum.
Moreover, at this time, most of the Japanese were wandering in the waters of North Korea, and only occasionally came to the side of the Ming Dynasty.
Daming is the first in the world, but it is not blown out, Daming, which has 3,800 warships, is almost the sum of the fleets of all countries in the world, and it is much more.
The Japanese are not stupid, just a few broken knives on their broken ships, and when they encounter the powerful Ming warship, they are completely looking for death.
So if it weren't for the absolute intelligence, or if you couldn't grab something in North Korea and were dying of starvation, or if you were really crazy, you would never come to this Ming side.
Even in order to prevent being smashed into the nest by the Ming Dynasty, most of their camps are in the Korean area.
In addition to the fact that North Korea is easy to bully, the most important thing is that the Daming Sailor generally does not go over there.
Zhu Gaoyu estimates that it may be because of these reasons.
Let later generations mistakenly think that most of the Japanese are their own people, and those real Japanese are only a small part, or they are the ones who do miscellaneous work for the Ming people.
After figuring out the details of the Japanese and the distribution of forces, Zhu Gaoyu took his notebook and walked towards the fleet.
He was only responsible for coming over to convey the old man's consciousness, and by the way, he nominally led the matter.
The affairs of the Confucian family were dealt with in detail, and the imperial court would send Qin to send them over, and Zhu Gaoyu's main goal was to deal with the Japanese invaders.
The fleet was stationed in Weihaiwei for one night, and early the next morning, Zhu Gaoyu left a small detachment to guard the dock, and then took the remaining ships and headed for North Korea on the opposite side.
Zhu Gaoyu planned to eliminate those pirates first, and by the way, find a few more leading parties.
It would be even better if a batch could be co-opted, and it would be interesting to watch dog-eat-dog.
Even he was thinking about what to call this dog-legged army in order to show its national identity.
