Chapter 1931 Impeachment of Zhu Ping'an
While everyone was debating whether to use both suppression and appeasement or to suppress them all at once, Xu Jie stood up and spoke.
“Whether we use both suppression and appeasement, or eradicate them all at once, the Japanese invasion in Jiangnan must be solved as much as possible. Jiangnan is our food bag and money bag. Every day the Japanese invasion lasts, the food supply and tax supply in Jiangnan will decrease. It will be affected in one day. This not only affects Jiangnan, but also affects the overall situation of our Ming Dynasty. It affects the whole body. . For example, we need food, grass, and military pay to deal with the Northern Barbarians. Where do the food, grass, and military wages come from? Most of them come from the south of the Yangtze River. If Jiangnan is affected, the Northern Barbarians will be affected. We must not delay it any longer. We must cut through the mess quickly. Quickly resolve the Japanese invasion in the south of the Yangtze River." Xu Jie interrupted everyone's endless debate and said without doubt.
“Mr. Example; In addition, Japanese pirates cross the sea There are no traces to follow, and there are stubborn traitors from the Japanese who are their eyes and ears. The real and fake Japanese add up to more than 100,000 people, and there are more and more. The war is spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to quickly Solve it quickly," the Ministry of War official retorted.
He is a member of the Yan Party. Although Xu Jie obeyed Mr. Yan Ge during this period, most people within the Yan Party still habitually suppressed Xu Jie.
They were still wary of Xu Jie, Xia Yan's disciple.
Xia Yan was tortured to death by Mr. Yan Ge and the others. Xia Yan was Xu Jie's mentor. As the saying goes, once a teacher is always a father, and the hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable. Who knows whether Xu Jie will Will he take revenge for Xia Yan? !
Yan Ge is older. Relatively speaking, Xu Jie is much younger. To put it bluntly, Yan Ge has passed away. As the second minister of the cabinet, Xu Jie has become the cabinet in one fell swoop. The chief minister has taken control of the government.
As members of the Yan Party, Xia Yan’s death is inseparable from them, and Yan Ge’s father and son have been working as mischief for so many years. If Xu Jie becomes the chief assistant and liquidates the Yan Party, they will But I can't run away.
As for Xu Jie's obedience to Mr. Yan Ge during this period, who knows whether he is really obedient or whether he is just trying to survive.
They don't want to gamble.
It is better to get Xu Jie down and replace it with his own insurance.
Therefore, most people within the Yan Party still focused on suppressing Xu Jie.
Of course, some members of the Strict Party advocated win-over and absorption. After all, the Strict Party has a big deal, cannot unify its ideas, and there are also hilltop factions within it.
"Japanese pirates are fierce, one is worth ten?! Is it difficult to quickly solve the Japanese invaders in the south of the Yangtze River?!" Before Xu Jie could speak, Emperor Jiajing on the dragon throne said unhappily, "Huang Ban, read to them Good news from Suzhou Prefecture.”
Of course Emperor Jiajing wanted to quickly solve the Japanese invasion of Jiangnan. The entire Ming Dynasty was his private property. Jiangnan was an important land for taxation, money and food. Affected by the Japanese invasion, the tribute taxes paid by Jiangnan had been continuously reduced.
As Xu Jie said, Jiangnan has an impact on the whole body. The reduction of taxes in Jiangnan has led to difficulties in the supply of soldiers' wages and food in border towns, which has made it difficult to deal with the northern captives, which has led to insufficient money and food for disaster relief, and so on.
In addition, his private treasury has also shrunk greatly.
The purchase of items used in fasting rituals, such as ambergris, pearls, talisman paper, etc., has been greatly affected.
So, now Emperor Jiajing is eager to quickly solve the Japanese problem in Jiangnan so that Jiangnan can quickly restore hematopoiesis.
"My lords, the Zajia family will now begin to read out the good news about Suzhou Prefecture. Please listen carefully."
After Emperor Jiajing gave the order, Huang Jin began to read out the good news about Suzhou Prefecture.
At this moment, the ministers who are qualified to stand in the hall are all important members of the court, and they all know the good news about Suzhou Prefecture.
Not enough. Even though they had known it in advance, after Huang Jin read it out, everyone still couldn't help but talk among themselves.
“Such a good report from Suzhou Prefecture is very different from the war reports from various places in the south of the Yangtze River for several years. I can’t help but doubt its authenticity.”
Under the hint of Yan Maoqing's eyes, a strict party official stood up first and questioned the authenticity of Suzhou Prefecture's victory report.
"Yes, a few months ago more than a hundred Japanese pirates roamed more than a thousand miles, killing and injuring thousands of our officers and soldiers. The battle reports reported from various places showed that the Japanese pirates were unstoppable and lost troops and generals one after another. Zhu Pingan's Zhejiang army could not do anything. How can two thousand people achieve such great results? Even tens of thousands of pigs cannot be killed by them.”
"Everywhere else suffered heavy losses, but Suzhou won and defeated more than 30,000 Japanese pirates. There is obviously something wrong with this victory report."
"The victory report from Suzhou is too exaggerated and must be false."< br>
For a time, many strict party officials in the palace spoke in agreement, saying that there was something wrong with the good news from Suzhou Prefecture, and there was a big problem.
"Your Majesty, I impeach Zhu Ping'an, the deputy envoy of the Zhejiang Prosecution and Procuratorate Department, and the Suzhou prefect for maintaining false positive reports and deceiving Your Majesty." Keep it secret, the reported 40,000 battle merits are most likely due to his killing the good ones and taking the merits.”
"Suzhou Magistrate Shang Wei only reported his contribution to the defense of the city. There is no problem with his contribution to the defense of the city. The problem is that Zhu Ping'an, the deputy envoy of the Zhejiang Prosecution and Prosecution Department, reported his contribution to the annihilation of nearly 40,000 Japanese pirates. This problem is huge! A mere 2,000 new soldiers who had been recruited for less than half a year were able to achieve a great victory against more than 40,000 Japanese pirates, wiping out 40,000 Japanese pirates. , how is this realistic? There must be fiction in it. Zhu Ping'an has committed a great crime!"
"I impeached Zhu Ping'an for deceiving the court and deceiving the emperor. He committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. I request that Zhu Ping'an be severely punished and punished severely! This trend of falsely reporting military achievements was nipped in the bud. Now the Japanese invasion in Jiangnan is raging. When other officials followed Zhu Pingan's false report, the Jiangnan political arena was ruined by Zhu Pingan! Didn't he indulge the Japanese pirates and make them more difficult to deal with? "
There are many more! Many strict Party officials stood up and petitioned to impeach Monk Zhu Pingan, mainly Zhu Pingan.
Some of them interceded for Shang Wei, saying that Shang Wei only avenged the defense of the city, so there should be no problem. It was Zhu Ping'an who fabricated the merits of wiping out 40,000 Japanese soldiers. Based on this, Shang Wei was excerpted and only Zhu Ping'an was impeached.
"Haha, back then Zhu Pingan impeached Zhao Daying for killing a good person and taking credit. Unexpectedly, just a short time later, he, Zhu Pingan, has become the kind of person he hates and despises Zhao Daying. , how ironic it is to impeach Zhao Daying and become Zhao Daying!"
"Your Majesty, he took credit for the sake of Jiangnan! The tens of thousands of innocent people who were killed, please kill Zhu Pingan to comfort the spirits of the innocent people in heaven, to calm the anger of the people in Jiangnan, and to kill the trend of fabricating military exploits."
For a time, there were endless voices in the hall to impeach Zhu Pingan! , memorials to impeach Zhu Pingan came like snowflakes one after another, and they all called for Zhu Pingan to be severely punished. (End of this chapter)
