Chapter 151

Gao Qiqian wants to make trouble, but it is actually because of Cheng Shijie.

In September of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the displaced people in Henan almost did not migrate to southern Liaoning, and the victims caused by the bursting of the embankment of the Yellow River in Mengjin either died silently or were attracted to the territory of the Daimyo Mansion by Lu Xiangsheng.

Although the current Lu Xiangsheng does not have the name of governor and governor, he is the governor of the smaller size, and he has jurisdiction over 28 counties in the two prefectures of Daimyofu, Guangping and Shunde. In terms of actual jurisdictional area, it is almost equivalent to one-third of the nine prefectures of Beizhili.

After Lu Xiangsheng served as the military preparation of the Daimyo's Mansion, just like when he served as the prefect of the Daimyo's Mansion, he led the Tianxiong Army to Tuntian, build cities and ditches, but attracted many displaced people, and with the breaking of the Yellow River in the fifth year of Chongzhen, such as Kaifeng Mansion and Guide Mansion in Henan, they were blessed by misfortune and harvested grain.

In short, the number of displaced people has been greatly reduced.

When Cheng Shijie arrived in Dengzhou City, he specially went to visit his former boss, Jin Yousheng, the commander of Dengzhou Guard. Cheng Shijie gave Jin Yousheng 10,000 taels of silver with a wave of his hand, and Jin Yousheng didn't care what the relationship between Jin Qiaoer and Cheng Shijie was now, so he directly pulled Cheng Shijie's arm and said, "Brother Xian, what do you like about Dengzhou Wei?" Just say! ”

Cheng Shijie was also polite: "Cheng Mou is in Tuntian, southern Liaoning, and needs people, but the people of Shandong go too little, Cheng Mou saw that the old brothers in the past were still hungry and poor, so he couldn't bear it, and wanted to find a way for the brothers to live!" ”

Jin Yousheng didn't believe a word about this, but for the sake of the silver, he smiled. For them, those ordinary soldiers are very cheap cannon fodder, as long as they have money, they can pull up 10,000 people casually, and as long as they keep those families, they will not lose any strength.

Cheng Shijie, a stupid man, actually took so much money in exchange for this gang of cannon fodder, it was really stupid that there was no cure!

Huang Zuxin even asked Cheng Shijie in a whisper: "Do you want people?" If you want, I can give you another 5,000 people, the price is negotiable! ”

"The price remains the same, five thousand people, five thousand taels of silver, don't make some old, weak, sick and disabled brothers fool, otherwise, this business will not be done!"

In this way, Cheng Shijie used the price of one or two silver per person to ask for 15,000 people from Dengzhouwei, as for why there are 15,000 people in Dengzhouwei, the reason is actually very simple, there are more than 14,000 people in Dengzhouwei alone, not to mention that there are still 7,000 households in Dengzhouwei.

If it weren't for Cheng Shijie's misery, throwing the old, weak, sick and disabled to Cheng Shijie, Dengzhou Wei Balabala could draw out 30,000 or 40,000 people, and even in the case of 30,000 or 40,000 people, he would still be able to maintain a full establishment.

In this way, Cheng Shijie sent people to contact the counties in the states and counties he passed by, and under the offensive of the silver, the states and counties immediately tried the case overnight, and packed the prisoners who originally needed to be beheaded after the autumn, or the criminals who needed to be sent to the army and exiled, and gave Cheng Shijie.

Similarly, it was also a head of one or two silver, but the result was good, and the counties along the way were either hundreds, or thousands, and what petty theft originally only needed to hit the board, or shackles to show the public, and the name was changed to be distributed to southern Liaoning.

Cheng Shijie went all the way north, sprinkled silver all the way, from Dengzhou to Tianjin, Cheng Shijie got a total of more than 14,000 people to go to southern Liaoning, plus 15,000 people from Dengzhou Wei, nearly 30,000 people.

All this, Gao Qiqian saw all this, he asked the Jinyi Wei around him to investigate Tianjin Wei, the total strength of Tianjin Sanwei is 16,800 people, but in fact, Tianjin Wei, plus Tianjin left and right guards, has more than 150,000 people.

Even if a third is taken away from Cheng Shijie from Tianjin Wei, it is still 50,000 people, that is, 50,000 taels of silver, who will not worry about their own money?

For Gao Qiqian to go to Tianjin Wei and Tianjin Right Guard to inspect, Cheng Shijie did not follow, this is Gao Qiqian's right, and the eunuch is originally the eye of the Son of Heaven.

Cheng Shijie was invited by Zhu Sheng, the commander of the Tianjin Left Guard, to come to the Yamen of the Tianjin Left Guard Commander.

Zhu Sheng brought the commander of the Tianjin Left Guard, the commander of the secretary, the pacification envoy and other officials to greet Cheng Shijie.

"The lower official received the general's order, although he didn't know what his intentions were, he didn't dare to slack off! According to the general's will, clean up the hooligans in the army overnight! ”

Although Cheng Shijie's official position is higher than Zhu Sheng's, he does not have direct jurisdiction over Zhu Sheng, so Zhu Sheng originally did not need to respect Cheng Shijie so much.

However, Cheng Shijie has money in his hands, and Zhu Sheng actually respects Cheng Shijie's money, after all, no one can't get along with money.

Zhu Sheng took a roster and said: "There are a total of 5,443 hooligans in Tianjin Zuowei, all of whom are in Liaodong!" ”

The definition of a rogue in ancient times was different from that of later generations.

In ancient times, "the landless are the stream", that is, the landless are all called "streams". Those who do not have property are called "hooligans", and those who do not have land and those who do not own property are collectively referred to as hooligans.

Because having a house and land is the criterion for judging a man's ability, and a man without a house and land will not only be questioned, but also belittled by his neighbors, which creates a kind of irony.

There are as many as 5,443 landless military households in the left guard of Tianjin, which is already quite a lot.

"General Cheng, these hooligans are not easy to manage, it is better to brand them on their faces, so that they are not afraid of running away, and even if they run, they can easily be caught back!"

"No!"

Cheng Shijie said solemnly: "If you are branded, Ben Shuai will not want it." ”

"Why is that?"

"Ben Shuai wants these hooligans to let them reclaim the land for Ben Shuai, you Tianjin Zuowei has no military land to reclaim, and Ben Shuai has a lot of land in southern Liaoning!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "If there is such a hooligan in the future, it can be sent to southern Liaoning, as long as it is sent to southern Liaoning, each person will have two taels of silver!" ”

"General Xie Cheng!"

After resting for a day in Tianjin Zuowei, Cheng Shijie took a carriage and began to drive in the direction of Beijing, in addition to the guards, as well as the counties along the way, Cheng Shijie was like a boy with scattered wealth, all the way forward, all the way to the county orders, Zhizhou to send money, let them send the prisoners in the prison to southern Liaoning.

When he arrived in the capital, Cheng Shijie used the military households of each guard to newly reorganize 762 tuntian and 100 households, of which Tianjin Wei and Tianjin Right Guard contributed more than 40,000 people to Cheng Shijie, and these more than 40,000 taels of silver naturally went into the pockets of Gao Qiqian.

When Cheng Shijie led more than 750 personal soldiers to the capital, Cheng Shijie was greeted by more than 1,000 elite troops of the Beijing camp.

Later, Cheng Shijie's personal troops were placed in a military camp outside Andingmen, and during the barracks, more than 1,000 soldiers in the capital showed off their might to Cheng Shijie's personal soldiers.

These soldiers of the Beijing camp have shiny armor and war horses, and they look presentable. When these Beijing soldiers were in Beijing, they were still famous elites in the world, but now this elite army has transformed into a fish belly army.

Wu Sheng said with some dissatisfaction: "Pretend to be an egg, and a charge can solve them!" ”

Cheng Shijie smiled and admired the performance of the Beijing camp, and seemed to be very interested in this army, to be precise, he was very interested in the horses of this army. Although he now has more than 10,000 war horses for Cheng Shijie, especially Hu Erqi has just grabbed more than 8,600 war horses for him, which can be regarded as a fortune, but no one will think that he has too many horses, right?

As Cheng Shijie's personal soldiers moved into the camp, a Beijing camp general said with an arrogant face: "This is your station, after you are stationed, you will stay in the barracks honestly, and you are not allowed to leave the barracks without permission, let alone enter the inner city, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

Wu Sheng stepped forward and explained: "Our brother has never been to the capital, can we enter the capital without wearing military uniforms and weapons?" ”

"You have a donkey hair in your fucking ears? If it doesn't work, it won't work!! ”

Cheng Shijie heard the quarrel outside and came out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Sheng said: "Qiqi Marshal, they won't let us enter the city!" ”

"Why?"

Cheng Shijie looked at the Beijing camp general and said, "Who stipulated it?" ”

"Where is so much!"

The general of the Beijing camp stared at Cheng Shijie and sneered with a sneer on his face: "Do you think that the capital is a restaurant opened by your family, you can enter if you want, and you can leave if you want?" Let me tell you, with you mud-legged people, being able to enter the outer city is already a blessing from the previous life, and you still want to enter the inner city......"

The eyes of the Beijing camp general looked at Cheng Shijie with great contempt, even with a little disdain.

Cheng Shijie was stared at by the generals of the Beijing camp a little uncomfortable, he coughed, only to see a person rushed out of Cheng Shijie's personal soldiers, like lightning rushed to the Beijing camp general, without waiting for the Beijing camp general to react, he pulled the Beijing camp general off the horse, regardless of whether he fell and hurt the other party, and pressed the guy to the ground very lightly.

Although the guy was pushed to the ground, his attitude was still not arrogant: "You're finished, you're all finished, do you know who my father is?" ”

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Who is your father, you don't need to ask Ben Shuai about this, you need to ask your mother!" ”

There was a burst of laughter all around.

Those soldiers of the Beijing camp hurriedly wanted to come over and rob people, and a eunuch hurriedly shouted: "Stop! ”

The surrounding soldiers of the Beijing camp did not dare to move.

Cheng Shijie turned around and walked towards the camp.

Admiral Ning lifted the general of the Beijing camp into the camp and hung him up.

At this time, the general of the Beijing camp was no longer arrogant, and his attitude softened: "Misunderstanding, General Cheng, misunderstanding, I am Zhang Jin, the general of the Shenshu Battalion who is practicing bravery, ......."

The fair-eyed eunuch wanted to open his mouth, but was so frightened by the soldier Ning that he quickly shut up.

Just after Cheng Shijie entered the big tent, Wu Sheng came in and lowered his voice: "Dashuai, I'm afraid it's just troublesome this time!" ”

"What's the trouble?"

Cheng Shijie sneered: "Do you want to say that this Zhang has an extraordinary history and a very hard backstage?" ”

"It's very hard, and it's not ordinary hard, his father is too Comber!"

"Zhang Guoji?"

Cheng Shijie didn't expect this, although Zhang Guoji's family is average, but his daughter Zhang Yan is the queen of the apocalypse, and she is today's sister-in-law. Because the Emperor of the Apocalypse died early, and the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, Zhang Yan took care of Emperor Chongzhen after marrying the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Even if Queen Zhou is now the mother of a country and has power in the six palaces, she still needs to ask Zhang Yan, the outdated queen, every day, and Zhang Guoji's son provoked Cheng Shijie when he came up, if it is just a coincidence, fools don't believe it.

Cheng Shijie groaned: "If you catch it, you will catch it, just hang it like this, I want to see who is making a ghost behind!" ”

Sure enough, in this conflict, which did not break out, the revenge came very quickly, and in the evening, a group of officers and soldiers sent several truckloads of moldy grain and more than a dozen jars of stinking sauerkraut. I opened the cylinder head and took a look, not to mention that it was covered with a layer of mold, and there were some fat and white insects soaked in salt water.

If it is other armies, in the face of this situation, they can only bow their heads, but the problem is that since the establishment of the army, the Ning Navy did not expect the imperial court to give them supplies, and in the face of the supplies sent by the imperial court, the head army said that the waste can be used and the horses can be fed.

As a result, he was scolded by Wu Sheng: "Do you know how valuable our war horses are?" Are you responsible for eating a bad war horse? ”

Deaf, these moldy grains were directly thrown outside the camp by the officers and men of the Ning Navy, and soon the surrounding people grabbed them.

Cheng Shijie is to create a situation for everyone, Ning Haijun is very arrogant and domineering.

Although Zhang Jin made it clear that the officers and men of the Ning Navy could not enter the city, Cheng Shijie still asked the soldiers to enter the city in batches, and after entering the city, they naturally clashed with the soldiers of the Beijing camp.

First, when a Ning Navy soldier was peeing, he was attacked by two Beijing soldiers, and in a one-on-two situation, the Ning Navy soldiers won completely. The soldiers of the Beijing camp, who had suffered a loss, began to shake people.

Huhula Dozens of soldiers from the Beijing camp rushed towards the Ning Navy soldiers with knives and guns, and the Ning Navy soldiers didn't say a word, the crossbow machine was wound, and the Beijing soldiers had seen the world and knew the power of the crossbow machine.

In the end, the two sides did not break out into a scuffle, and under the mediation of their respective hundred generals, the two sides proposed to send ten people each to fight to test their fists and feet.

Wu Sheng's second apprentice Meng En slaughtered the Quartet, and the ten masters sent by the Beijing camp, nine of which did not go three rounds under Meng En's hands, and in the end, Ning Haijun paid forty taels of medicine and set up four tables of wine banquets, which was over.

Although Cheng Shijie spent money, he felt comfortable.

Meng En, the general manager, has entered Cheng Shijie's field of vision, although he has not been promoted, but if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely be promoted.

At night, it rained in the capital, and the weather suddenly became cooler.

Cheng Shijie looked at Wu Sheng and said: "It's easy to catch a cold in the autumn rain, let the brothers go back to the camp to rest, and leave a few sentry posts!" ”

"No!"

Wu Sheng very resolutely vetoed Cheng Shijie's order.

"This is the capital, there is not much security problem, don't let the brothers get cold outside!" Cheng Shijie didn't mind Wu Sheng's confrontation, and commanded gently.

"Dashuai, since the evening, there have always been some people walking around the camp, although I don't know who they are, running out on a rainy night, when they are not good people, the situation is unknown, and the sentry cannot be removed!"

"Oh!"

Cheng Shijie's head wrinkled, and his eyes were blazing......

Although Wu Sheng's report does not explain anything, it cannot be ignored. Since the crossing, he has not formed a blood feud with any relatively large forces.

Although some of the people he killed had families, they were not rich and powerful families, and it was impossible for them to organize their forces to do anything unfavorable to them.

However, Cheng Shijie knows his family's affairs, and the industrial development in southern Liaoning has a great impact on the economy of small farmers in Daming countryside.

Just like Cheng Shijie's textile factory in southern Liaoning, the woolen cloth, linen, salt, and steel produced have affected the interests of too many people, and these people do not rule out finding opportunities to kill themselves.

The contradiction between himself and Jiannu is actually a mixture of national contradictions and the struggle of national interests, and his own existence is the biggest threat to Jiannu at the moment.

Especially Hu Erqi's fire, this contradiction is gradually escalating, and every child of the Aixin Jueluo family hates themselves so much, because they are about to starve this winter. With Jiannu's comprehensive strength, it is undoubtedly quite cost-effective to send some groups such as killers to try to eliminate this big threat of themselves invisibly.

There is also the imperial court, as the central imperial court, it is also a normal mode of thinking to nip an unformed feudal town in the bud.

However, if you eliminate yourself, will you really eliminate the rising Liaodong Domain?

The biggest difference between the Liaodong Domain under the leadership of Cheng Shijie and other other feudal towns is that there is no hereditary tradition, and if he dies, there will definitely be other successors.

Of course, who will inherit is a big question, and at present, there is indeed a lack of prestige and ability in his team to replace his own role, whether it is Shen Mingyu, Zhang Yu or Chen Guodong, they are far from qualified.

As for Zhou Yandong, who has always existed as his deputy, he may become a compromise to control the economic development of southern Liaoning, but his ability is absolutely impossible to truly control the army and become a powerful figure.

In fact, Zhou Yandong, the No. 2 person, is in charge of everything in southern Liaoning, but the army does not care, even if it is a sentry unit, Zhou Yandong has no right to transfer.

As for Song Xiance, Lin Xuzong, Qin Bocheng, and Ma Shilin, they ...... Not to mention.

The most important thing is that Liaodong lacks a local person who can condense the forces of the civil and military sides and coordinate the relationship between the civil and military forces without Cheng Shijie.

It doesn't seem like a difficult job. In fact, if it weren't for Cheng Shijie's mistakes, he promoted Yang Yunniang to the woman from the end of the day, and Yang Yunniang solved Cheng Shijie a lot, and even he himself would have been difficult to do things.

But the problem is that getting rid of oneself may not directly eliminate the rising new feudal town of Liaodong, but it may interrupt or even reverse the development process of this feudal town.

From this point of view, the possibility that the imperial court wants to get rid of itself is not impossible, the question is what benefits the imperial court can get by doing so.

If Cheng Shijie died, of course, he would eliminate an unformed feudal town, but it would also make the newly formed defense system of Liaodong a mess again, and the threat of Jiannudi had just been partially weakened, and he would die.

It's time for the imperial court to start having a headache for Jiannu again.

From the perspective of national interests, killing Cheng Shijie will do more harm than good to the imperial court, but the problem is that the internal struggle of the Ming Dynasty has evolved into a struggle for the sake of struggle, and opposition is opposed because of opposition.

In the defeat of Liuhe, the imperial historian was impeached, and Sun Chengzong, Yu Anxing, and Yuan Keli, the then governor of Denglai, were deposed at the same time. By Gao Di for the passage of Liaodong.

But discerning people can see at a glance that Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, cooperate well in the strategic arrangement, but they are still replaced and replaced by Gaodi.

Although Mao Wenlong is a donkey's temper, he obeys Yuan Keli and is willing to accept Yuan Keli's command and dispatch, and he can better lead Jiannu from the side.

Obviously, it has a good role in promoting national interests and the overall strategy of the country, but several key and important figures have resigned one after another, and there is also the battle of Dalinghe.

Sun Chengzong personally sat in Jinzhou, personally commanded the battle of the Daling River, and Zu Dashou personally went out on horseback, but on the contrary, the Guanning army made a series of stupid moves, in fact, it was to send a head to Jiannu and use the defeat to drive Sun Chengzong down.

Those who are in their own interests can ignore the interests of the state...... To put it this way, killing Cheng Shijie is the easiest thing for them to do.

It is also in line with their logic of doing things.

Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said: "Ben Shuai writes a few military orders and asks people to send letters!" ”

Cheng Shijie gave an order to the Qinwei Division overnight, so that the Qinwei Division entered a state of first-level combat readiness, and when the warships of the naval division arrived at Haizhou Port, they would immediately board the ship from Haizhou Port.

The second order was given to the naval division troops of the Ning Navy, ordering the naval division troops to go to the port of Haizhou, pick up the guards of the capital, arrive in Tianjin, and cruise in the Bohai Bay.

The third order was given to the Immigration Department of the Management Committee, asking the Immigration Department to suspend the transportation of migrants from Tianjin to southern Liaoning, and instead conduct centralized management and restorative training outside Tianjin.

To put it simply, the Immigration Department wants to transport grain to Tianjin, and if it does not have time to go to the three or four hundred tuntian and hundred households in southern Liaoning, it can become Cheng Shijie's reinforcements at any time.

In the end, for his own safety, Cheng Shijie gave Wu Sheng an order, without his own orders, if he was attacked, he would fight back and break through immediately.

As for Cheng Shijie himself, he quietly returned to the afterlife.

According to Cheng Shijie's principle of crossing, he returned to the afterlife from the end of the Ming Dynasty, and if he came back, it would definitely be in this barracks, if the officers and men of the Ning Navy were gone, there would be no one stationed in this barracks, and it would be safe for the time being.

"Dashuai means ......"

"Ben Shuai will quietly leave here!"

"The Men Send ......"

"You don't need to send someone, Ben Shuai leaves alone, but it is the safest!"

"Yes!"

……

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what was happening inside and outside the capital, of course, Gao Qiqian must have known, he, like Cheng Shijie, was waiting......

Wait for some people to jump out.

At this time, Gao Qiqian has changed from the most knowledgeable eunuch to a big chef.

commanded the eunuchs in the palace and the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room, and began to make sweet potato banquets and potato banquets for Emperor Chongzhen.

"Emperor, try it, this dish is called hot and sour shredded potatoes!"

The chef's knife worker in the imperial dining room has nothing to say, and the shredded potatoes are cut as if they have been measured with a ruler, neatly and neatly, neither big nor small.

Emperor Chongzhen had already eaten enough, he picked up a shredded potato with chopsticks and chewed it: "Crispy and delicious, delicious, delicious...... Are you saying that this potato yield is three or four thousand catties per mu? ”

"That's right, more than 700,000 acres have been planted in southern Liaoning, and the harvested potatoes have become a mountain!"
