Chapter 497 Where His Majesty's sword points, the Ming army's front is heading
Zhu Yijun waited until the silver reward was distributed and Tiqi conducted a large-scale visit to confirm that the reward was in place before he prepared to summon Zheng General Lu, if he breaks out in the capital camp to ask for rewards, it will be the most ridiculous thing in the world. Zhu Yijun thought something would happen. After all, the Ming Dynasty's reward is just like the Ming Dynasty civil engineering, but he is greedy for ink. Good opportunity.
What cook doesn’t eat secretly?
Don’t think that just because you, Qi Jiguang, have returned to the court after a great victory, you can show off your power. Beijing officials have the final say on matters in the capital!
But this time the Jingying reward distribution was extremely smooth. They were taken directly to the school grounds to open the boxes of silver coins, and then under the supervision of the civil and military officials, they were all distributed in just one day, and no one withheld any money. After all, this is the Beijing camp that has just returned to his hometown after fighting a war.
If there is really a disturbance about asking for rewards, then there will be fun to watch!
Zhu Yijun is not afraid of the Beijing camp, because everyone in the Beijing camp recognizes the emperor. His Majesty the Emperor galloping horses in the school grounds all day long is a rare thing that has not been seen in more than 170 years.
On the fourth day of the sixth lunar month in the tenth year of Wanli, Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty reopened the Huangji Hall and held a great court meeting to welcome the triumphant return of the general who conquered the captives.
In the Japanese country, the general who conquered the barbarians was the fixed title of the shogunate and the king of the Japanese country. National affairs were enshrined in Rong, especially in the capital camp. If something went wrong, you would get into big trouble and make great achievements. Expanding territory involves inevitable risks.
On this day, Xishan Coal Bureau had a day off. Although the monsoon changed and the summer coal smoke would not blow to the capital, Wang Chonggu still stopped coal mining and coking in Xishan Coal Bureau for the sake of safety. Instead of waiting for something to happen, a comprehensive overhaul was arranged to prevent major production accidents.
Even the soot is filled with loyalty and belongs to yes.
The scorching sun was high and the sky was clear. Qi Jiguang rode a tall horse slowly to the Jinshui Bridge. He dismounted in front of the dismounting stone. He was wearing a scarlet unicorn patchwork suit with dark floral gauze sleeves, a seven-beam cage scarf, a mink cicada crown, and a A silver seal that was three inches square, three inches thick, and nine inches thick walked onto the Jinshui Bridge step by step.
This seal is the seal of the general who conquered the captives. Handing over the general's seal means handing back the military power and mobilizing troops. Unless ordered by the emperor, if there are more than 100 people, they will have to go through the procedures of the Ministry of War. This also means , the period between Qi Jiguang's return to Peking University and his visit to the palace was actually in danger of mutiny.
Qi Jiguang is getting older and his temples are turning white. Not everyone is like Sima Yi. He is so ambitious and greedy. When he took back Daning Guard and built the Rehe Military Fortress, Qi Jiguang already felt that Worth it.
Qi Jiguang walked across the Outer Jinshui Bridge, crossed the Meridian Gate, walked through the Inner Jinshui Bridge, and came to the Huangji Gate.
Inside the Huangji Gate is the square of the Huangji Hall. Climb up the stairs and stand at the Huangji Gate to look at the Huangji Hall.
When Qi Jiguang's figure appeared at the Huangji Gate, drums and horns began to sound, from gentle to rapid, the sound shook the sky. On the platforms on both sides of the Huangji Palace gate, the orchestra followed With the sound of the horn, the music began, and the musicians in colorful costumes began to dance. The music played was "Pingbo Anbian Music" composed by De Wang Zhu Zaiyu.
Pingbo is naturally Qi Jiguang's pacification of Japan, and Anbian is naturally the complete recovery of Daningwei to Hetao. This is a song specially composed by Zhu Zaiyu for Qi Ji. The tune is full of chilling atmosphere, and the continuous The movements of the musicians are not graceful, but heroic.
In the 29th year of Jiajing, after Anda Khan invaded the capital, the haze of war completely left the heart of the Ming Dynasty. This day is worthy of such celebration.
The third-level platform is filled with Han generals and red-helmeted generals. They are solemn and solemn. Under the platform, on both sides are officials who are not qualified to enter the Huangji Palace. They are wearing court uniforms and holding wat boards. , standing upright with his eyes in front, and the Tiqi wearing bright yellow robes stood in the aisle, forming a vermilion channel directly leading to the Huangji Palace, paved with carpets.
It is dyed from Brazilian mahogany. Of course, there are rumors that it is made of decapitated heads at the Meridian Gate and dyed with blood.
Qi Jiguang stood at the Huangji Gate, looking at the Huangji Palace in the distance. Looking at this scene, he looked calm and unfazed, but the hand holding the silver seal was slightly trembling.
The title of Marquis is not my intention, but I hope the sea will be peaceful? That was just to console himself knowing that there was no possibility of becoming a marquis. What he meant was: Even if he could not be granted the title of marquis, he would still be willing to fight to protect the safety of the Ming Dynasty. This ambition would not waver as long as he lasted.
However, Qi Jiguang thinks that the scene caused by His Majesty is a bit too big...
No, not at all.
According to Qi Jiguang's idea, it would be enough to hold a ceremony to ennoble the duke in Beitucheng, read out the imperial edict, change the crown and belt, and return the seal of the conquering general. Anyway, the title is obtained.
Qi Jiguang took a step forward and walked to the front of the Huangji Palace.
"General Xuan Zhenglu has an audience!" The small yellow gates in groups of two passed down the sound of Tian Yulun. At this moment, everyone looked at the Yunlong stone carving imperial road. This road It is the royal road stepping stone, also called Yunlong stone steps, which means the dragon rises.
According to etiquette, Qi Jiguang, who was still wearing Qilin clothes at this time, should walk to the platform on the side path to enter the temple.
But the red carpet is spread on the Yunlong stone steps.
The two small Huangmen brought the four-clawed python dragon suit of Feng Guogong and helped Qi Jiguang put on the outer robe. There was no problem with etiquette. Qi Jiguang was granted the title of Duke, but he was a four-clawed python dragon. He walked on the Shenglong Road. It's very reasonable. How could Zhu Yijun let Qi Jiguang fall into a dilemma of etiquette and law?
Qi Jiguang climbed up the stairs and stood in front of the platform. Tishuai Zhao Mengyou checked whether Qi Jiguang was carrying a murder weapon.
Qi Jiguang carried the murder weapon, a sword given by the Ming Emperor.
This sword is nothing expensive. It is an ordinary military sword. The only special thing is that it is the sword that the emperor has used since he was a child.
Zhao Mengyou did not take off his saber and let him go directly.
Qi Jiguang stepped out of the Huangji Palace, held the seal and sword of the conquering general on his head, bowed five times and kowtowed three times and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty Qi Jiguang, you have not insulted your order, led the elite soldiers of the capital camp, and conquered the enemy." Ban Sheng returns, and the Beilu people surrender!"
"The Ming Dynasty's army is glorious!"
"The sun and the moon and the mountains and rivers will last forever!"
Qi Jiguang! The powerful voice echoed in the court hall.
Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and said calmly: "Qi Shuai has worked hard, and the Ming army has worked hard! Qi Shuai is mighty, and the Ming army is mighty!"
"Your Majesty is mighty!" Qi Jiguang shouted loudly again: "Your Majesty, please take back the seal ribbon, the emperor will wear the sword."
Feng Bao walked a few steps quickly and came to Qi Jiguang's side. The one Qi Shuai was kneeling on was the emperor. Daming, he was not a eunuch, but he still knew etiquette. He took back the silver seal and the sword on the plate, handed them to the eunuch Yinshou for sealing, and quickly returned to the platform.
The emperor's sword should not be taught lightly. It should be taught one at a time, and it must be taken back after the errand is completed.
"Declare the decree." Zhu Yijun waved his hand again and said.
Feng Bao shook his fly whisk and took two steps forward. The two small yellow doors opened the imperial edict. Feng Bao raised his voice and shouted with frustration: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, the edict says :"
"I have governed the world with literature and put down rebellions with force. Since the Gengxu rebellion, the king of the captives raised an army to overwhelm the country and came with great enthusiasm. From then on, the country has never had peace and the people have never had peace. In order to ensure peace, a country cannot prosper without virtue, and people without virtue cannot stand. Now Commander Qi leads a strong army and annihilates the barbarian robbers' nest. He is the mainstay of the imperial court and the main city of the country. How can he neglect his achievements and dedicate his efforts to serve the country? Isn't it better to be favored?"
"The emperor's ancestral teachings have determined that no title will be granted to those who have achieved social and military achievements. Today, General Xizhi is ordered to go to the field, and the commander will burn his salary to destroy the country. I fought in all directions, captured the traitor chiefs in front of your majesty, and made military achievements in all directions. The thieves are still timid after hearing about it." As a young man, Qi Commandery was strong and sharp, able to detect the opportunities of the weather, observe the key points of geography, follow the people's feelings, and determine the safety and danger. He defeated the captives thousands of miles away and made great achievements in China."
"With the merits of pacifying the Japanese and conquering the captives, he was appointed as the military minister of Fengtian Zhongxing Tuocheng Xuanli, the special minister of Ronglu, the governor of the Youzhu Kingdom, the governor of the left army, and the chief military officer of the Beijing camp, and was granted the title of Duke of the country. The wealth of three thousand stones, the same spirit and branches, sharing weal and woe, only the heaven can learn from it.”
"This is it."
Feng Bao finished reading the imperial edict and started working with a few small yellow gates. First, he had to replace the seven-beam cage scarf Diao Chan crown with eight beams, and the marquis silver medal into a duke gold medal. The gold medal had A sentence written by His Majesty himself: God bless the people, and I am the one who takes the lead. Weijiahuaxia is really relying on tiger ministers. Grant you a golden talisman and pass it on to your heirs forever.
This gold medal is passed down from generation to generation. It is two inches wide and one foot long. It has two dragons on the top (inlay) and two crouching tigers on the bottom, which means subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger.
Then a gold medal is given to the Hujia, two inches wide and three inches long. On the front of the card is written 'Fengguo Gonghujia', on the back it is written 'Every guard officer and army wears this card', and there is a benevolence on both sides of the card. The word is decorated with dragons, clouds and flowers. This is the gold medal with the word benevolence, which is the gold medal for Hu Jia. With this card, one can enter the Tonghe Palace and face the Saint.
Let’s replace the Yaxin plaque. Qi Jiguang’s Fengguo official plaque is made of ivory. It contains the official’s rank and part of his resume. It is a proof of identity. This is Qi Jiguang’s official status. If he is deprived of his official status one day, It was this Yaxin plaque that was taken back, and the official position was eliminated. From then on, he had no chance to have an official career.
Then the seal ribbon was changed, and the silver seal of the Marquis of Qian'an was replaced by the duke's silver seal. The silver seal was already the highest grade. The gold seal was only used by the queen mother, empress, prince, and prince. The emperor used the jade seal.
The last is the most important iron certificate of the alchemy book, which is the hereditary and irreplaceable world certificate. Without the world certificate, it is just a nobility. The iron book of the alchemy book is like a tile, with resumes and military exploits engraved on it, and in the middle there is exoneration. , the number of salary reductions, there are two copies in total, one is in Wu Xun's hand, and the other is in the palace. When it is necessary to reduce the crime of the holder of the alchemy iron ticket, take it out and cross it out.
The Duke is exempted from death three times, himself is exempted from death twice, and his children and grandchildren are exempted from death once.
But during the Wanli period, this thing was regarded as a symbol of Spyker, because this thing really could not avoid death, but was a bit like a life-threatening thing. If Wu Xun didn't believe it, the emperor would not use it.
The Ming Dynasty’s Alchemy Iron Coupon was completely modeled after the Tang Dynasty’s Alchemy Coupon, but it only had an additional contract that stipulated that treason would not be pardoned and death would be completely avoided, and there was a clause that no one would be exempted from death. , it became more flexible. For example, in the Lan Jade case in the 26th year of Hongwu, there were a total of fifteen Wuxun Mansion, including the First Duke, the Thirteenth Marquis, and the Second Uncle. Which one did not have an ironclad certificate in hand?
Later, everyone avoided talking about avoiding death.
"I thank the emperor for his kindness." Qi Jiguang finally changed all the seals, ribbons, crowns and other items used by the duke before he thanked the emperor for his kindness.
"Qi Shuai is exempt from the gift." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Welcome Qi Shuai home."
This smile is happiness from the heart, there is no impurity in the smile, the sun is bright , the previous canonizations and imperial edicts were carefully prepared, and were the emperor's instructions to the general who had returned from the war, and the following sentence of welcome home was Zhu Yijun's personal emotion.
Having not seen him for a long time, Qi Jiguang seems to be a bit depressed.
"Your Majesty has been wronged. I am not in the capital, but there are many people who are constantly making noises in your Majesty's ears, which makes your Majesty tireless!" Qi Jiguang said in a bad tone after standing up.
Qi Jiguang read the residence newspaper, miscellaneous newspapers, and even His Majesty’s letters. After the cheap Confucians left the capital camp, they had a lot of trouble. If what they say is reasonable, that’s all. Please be gentler, Your Majesty. The man actually made such a fuss that he was exiled to the border area, which shows how arrogant he is!
Zhu Yijun looked around and was also very happy. Several people's foreheads were shining and they were sweating. He waved his hand and said: "No, no, this is a normal discussion of state affairs. The court The purpose of setting up a department to speak to officials is to let them find fault. It is their job to find fault in the eggs. There is no disobedience to the officials. Qi Shuai is overly worried."
Qi Jiguang blinked and heard. His Majesty said this, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty said no, then it means no."
"Your Majesty is wise!" I don't know which courtier took the lead in shouting, and all the ministers bowed their heads and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! ! ”
Zhu Yijun suppressed his laughter and danced again! Everyone was silent!
Really taking a closer look, during Qi Jiguang's conquest, the officials were not too violent. They only made a bit of a fuss by criticizing Wang Chonggu, but it later subsided, and no one criticized him. What's more, No one refuted the emperor's imperial edict. In Shilin, except for the completely liberal views, which really made people unable to resist fistfight, there was no such thing as overstepping the rules.
"If nothing happens, then retreat from the court, sir, Qi Shuai will follow me." Zhu Yijun looked around to see if anyone would come out to oppose Qi Jiguang's ennoblement, but he did not Wait until someone jumps out. "I will send you off to your Majesty." The ministers bowed their heads and sent the emperor away. Today is a day of triumph and joy. You must not jump out to cause trouble for the emperor at this time. There are weddings and funerals. Your Majesty's knife is also very sharp!
After such a big battle today, I only did one thing, knighting Qi Jiguang, and there was nothing else to do.
Actually, Zhu Yijun wanted to take him directly to the Ancestral Temple to tell his ancestors, but the Ministry of Rites stopped him. At the end of the year when the Ancestral Temple is being held to offer sacrifices, just saying one word is enough, Huangji The standard of the palace is already very high. After all, when Emperor Taizu Gao ascended the throne, he only offered sacrifices to heaven and earth.
Zhu Yijun went to the side hall of Wenhua Palace, the main purpose was to show off.
"After returning to Beijing, Wang Daokun presented a model of the Youlong. This is the Feiyun that was sent a few days ago. Youlong Feiyun is a fast sailing ship. If everything goes well, the circumnavigation of the world can be shortened to six Month to nine months, a real weapon for sea trade!”
“Shengping No. 1 steam engine, a 7.5-horsepower steam engine, is smaller, stronger, more stable, and has a higher failure rate. As for the low-end steam engine, there are already 16 steam engines at the Imperial Palace. It is Shengping No. 2, and it is only about the size of half a room. If you sacrifice some power, it can be put on track. "
"There are more engineering regiment camps here in the engineering study window. I think Qi Shuai has seen it. After the engineering regiment completed the construction of Wulongchi Road, it went to Suiyuan, and Lingbu Hall invited the engineering regiment battalion and officials The factory group is creating a law to control the rural gentry in Henan. Three coal and iron factories have been established in Henan. I plan to build a city of ten kings in a few days and move the vassal princes back to the capital, and then seal it outside. "
...
Zhu Yijun chattered for a long time, explaining in detail that Qi Jiguang was not in the capital and the recent situation of the Ming Dynasty. He had nothing to hide from Qi Jiguang. The matter of sealing the vassal overseas has been discussed with Zhang Juzheng After communicating with each other, the clan members who had left the fifth server were allowed to go out first, then King Lu was allowed to become the vassal, and finally the emperor's heir was allowed.
Qi Jiguang also asked while watching, very curious about the fast sailing ship. If this thing runs so fast, will it really not fall apart?
"I must be really old. I feel really weird when I see these things." Qi Jiguang finally shook his head. He no longer wanted to explore the principles of these things. Since they exist, they are reasonable. .
Zhu Yijun frowned. He always felt that the twilight energy in Qi Jiguang was a bit heavier, more like he was dissipated. He shook his head and said: "Qi Shuai is not old at all. If Ling Butang were in Henan If you can't hold on, you still have to work hard for Qi Shuai."
"I'm afraid I have to rely on Qi Shuai for his strength to reopen the Western Regions and destroy the Japanese."
Even if he is older, he can't. As long as Qi Jiguang is still there, it will be the pinnacle of Dinghai and the guarantee of morale. The reopening of the Western Regions will have to wait until Chidao Xiudao Jiayuguan, and the elimination of the Japanese may be a matter of these two years.
"That's it." Qi Jiguang was stunned, and then he realized that during the Wanli years, under His Majesty, as long as he couldn't do it, he would do it to death. He must play his role at any time, and he would never let it go. Talents are just idle. Do you want to retire and take some time off? There was no door, and immediately he became energetic.
Zhang Juzheng said before that once Qi Jiguang is granted the title of official, it means that Xue Zang will never have a chance to fight again. After all, there is no chance of sealing him.
The duke granted by Qi Jiguang is a first-class duke. The duke of the Ming Dynasty is divided into two classes, the marquis is divided into three classes, and the earl is two classes. The main difference is in treatment. The annual salary of three thousand dan is a first-class duke. The iron coupons are one foot high and one foot six inches five cents high, while the iron coupons are nine inches high and one foot six inches five cents shorter than the first class and are five cents shorter than the first class.
Qi Jiguang's Feng Guogong was a first-class duke, and no one with a different surname could be crowned king any further up.
So Qi Jiguang believed that taking the title of Duke = actual retirement. Qi Jiguang also thought that he would never lead an army again, and would only be able to talk about military affairs on paper. At that time, he felt a little depressed.
A general who can't fight is as boring as a cook who can no longer stir a spoon. He doesn't like the blade of the knife turning inward, and he doesn't like the meaningless internal friction in the court. He likes the iron horse to conquer thousands of miles. Like a tiger.
The general died in a hundred battles, and his body was returned wrapped in horse leather.
Now that His Majesty's intention is very clear, he wants him to continue fighting. As for the reward, it is up to His Majesty to have a headache.
Qi Jiguang immediately felt his waist no longer hurt, his legs no longer hurt, and his whole body was full of energy. Where is the enemy? ! Where! I feel like I can fight ten with one!
"The fact that Lingbu Hall submitted this memorial is a matter of the boundary of Shaanzhou, Henan." Zhu Yijun took out a memorial from his hand. This memorial was written by Ling Yunyi after he took office in Henan. It is neither The request was not to report the famine, but to talk about a poor woman in Shaanzhou whose surname was Zhao Mingjuan.
Zhao Juan’s father was a rich farmer. He farmed twelve acres of land at home, and his life was not a prosperous one, but he could still get by. It was a coincidence that a fellow villager made a lot of money in a gambling house, so he started making noise. Together with Zhao Juan's father, he played very small at first, but the more he played, the bigger he became. In the end, Tian, his two sons, and one daughter all lost to the local Chen Dashan.
Chen Dashan is the banker of this gambling house.
Chen Dashan is not in a hurry, because this farmer has a lot of strength. If he is really anxious, he will probably be covered in blood after five steps. Chen Dashan does not ask for money immediately, but keeps pressing for debts. When it comes to debt collection, it is natural to pay back the debt. The gambling debt you borrowed must be signed and pledged in black and white. You cannot default on the debt.
Zhao Juan's father went to steal something and was caught and beaten to death on the spot. The two sons at home wanted to run away, but the deed of betrayal was in the hands of a kind man, so there was no way to lead them. Where could they run? Simply do nothing and become a bandit.
The only one left was Chen Juan, who cried out every day for no response, and cried out that the earth and the earth were not working, so he threw himself into the river and perished.
Why doesn’t Zhao Juan just marry a good person? She will have food and clothing, and she will no longer have to live a life of one meal and one meal!
Marry? That's to be a slave, not a lady.
Chopping firewood, serving tea and pouring water to serve people, warming the bed at night, breaking ice to get water in winter, if you are slow, it can range from a few slaps to a few whips, and you will be punished by taking off your clothes and kneeling, one day, Master I got interested, and luckily, I decided that I would not have status, because the deed of selling one's body is a low status. How did a lowly person get his status?
Even if you have a son or a daughter, you will be hugged by the landlord's mother-in-law. She will scold you as a cheap rice farmer and want to crawl into the landlord's bed, and then sell her out.
The master will be lucky or not, there will be no changes, and it may be sold at any time. You must serve it carefully, otherwise it will be 'pulled out to be matched with the young man. '[Note 1]
The young man must be happy, because it is absolutely impossible for this young man to win over his mother-in-law. Even if he knows that the master wants her, he will be happy.
Children born to a young man are also slaves. They have been slaves in Chen Dashan's family for generations. This is called a slave in the family.
Zhao Juan had seen with her own eyes the life of a slave, so after she lost her support, she threw herself into the river without saying a word. It would be better to die happily than to live like that.
After Zhao Juan was fished out, he reported it to the county government. When Ling Yunyi first arrived in Henan, he encountered such a murder case. This immediately attracted Ling Yunyi's attention. It is easy to imagine the fate of Chen Dashan. He was immediately killed. Once caught, Ling Yunyi went to Henan to solve the problem, so naturally he started with Chen Dashan.
From the perspective of Ming law, Chen Dashan does not seem to have violated any Ming laws, because the gambling house was not opened by Chen Dashan, but was built by villagers in the countryside, and Chen Dashan was just a money lender, Zhao Zhao Juan's father entered the gambling house by himself and was beaten to death when he was caught stealing. Zhao Juan even committed suicide by drowning himself in the river.
Where did Chen Dashan die? Is it possible that Ling Yunyi killed someone without any reason? Ling Yunyi was a scholar, so of course he was reasonable. After he arrested Chen Dashan, he began to clear out the land of Chen Dashan's family.
Not an acre of land!
Ling Yunyi was also unambiguous. He scattered his guest soldiers into a team of twenty and scattered them everywhere, specifically to catch the virtuous rural gentry who put usury money in the gambling house. When I checked my home, the situation was the same. There was not even an acre of land!
All the rural sages and gentry who were arrested were charged with one crime, disobeying the official order to hide their property, and everyone was put in jail and began to starve.
Ling Yunyi neither beat nor scolded nor punished, just one word: hungry. When he was hungry, he only had one worry, that is, he wanted to eat. If he didn't account for his property, he would starve to death.
The rural gentry refused to explain, but the old and young in this family couldn't bear it. After three days of hunger, people began to explain one after another, especially the slaves who had sold themselves to the master. , I was scared at first, but then I felt really hungry and uncomfortable. In addition, Ling Yunyi would have food to eat if he gave me an explanation, and he would even void the contract of betrayal.
The slaves rushed to expose, and after a round of torture to confirm each other, a total of 140 households were found, and 400,000 acres of land were discovered! All of them were placed in the names of various princes and generals, but not a grain of rice from these acres would be paid as tribute to the princes.
Now, the crime of concealing property was confirmed.
"Your Majesty, it's really not that Henan Yousi didn't do anything. Ling Butang is the governor of Shandong, Henan. His holy family is in Long, and he has 1,500 guest soldiers under his command. He has a reputation for evil." Zhang Juzheng still said something good for the local officials in Henan.
It’s not that Henan officials don’t want to clear the father-in-law, it’s that they have no choice. The land in the prince’s palace, county prince’s palace, and general’s palace, large and small, are all under the names of these clans. The local officials can’t take action at all, and no one is going to intimidate them. , Henan ground officials really don’t have the conditions for Ling Yunyi’s approach.
The ground officials in Henan are not Ling Yunyi, there are no holy relatives, and there are no guest soldiers.
"I know, I never meant to blame. Otherwise, if I had passed the exam every year, I would not have been open to Henan Net." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Isn't this why I sent Lingbutang? ? Everyone is rushing to clear their father-in-law, for fear that if they are too late, they will be treated as an accomplice by Ling Butang. "
The local officials in Henan were fully activated and showed their subjective initiative, as Ling Butang told them. You have to do it, even if you haven't been told to do it, you have to do it as if you are risking your life.
It is true that the rumored Ling Yunyi is too cruel. In fact, Ling Yunyi is not so murderous as the rumors say, but the three of them became tigers, and the rumors became more and more outrageous.
"Lingbu Tang has the first batch of foundations. With land and people, it can start to implement the engineering regiment camp method." Zhu Yijun said with emotion, Ling Yunyi did things vigorously and resolutely, and these one hundred and fourteen Ten families, with nearly 3,000 slaves and nearly 30,000 tenants, plus 1,500 guest soldiers, are more than enough to form three engineering regiments and battalions.
Zhang Juzheng looked around and said: "I think Ling Butang's idea is very good, so he escorted these 140 rural gentry households to Beijing to ask questions."
This One hundred and forty rural sages and gentry were already on their way to Beijing. Ling Yunyi's intention was: don't kill them first and then take a look.
If the local gentry in Henan Province are willing to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty, they will not kill them, but will be exiled to Nagasaki, Jiugang, Java and other places. If they are unwilling to cooperate, they will kill the chickens to scare the monkeys.
Hiding the land was a violation of the emperor's express decree, and disobeying the decree was a real crime of treason, a crime that could not even be protected by the iron certificate of the alchemy.
If you kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, why don't you cooperate with the emperor to return the land? Then use the engineering regiment's camp method, and it will be all in vain.
There is no allocation, and the land can only be withdrawn, not bought or sold. This is Ling Yunyi's goal. He plans to complete it in three to five years.
Ling Yunyi's current gentleness is because he is waiting, waiting for the Ten Kings City to be built, and waiting for the sects to move back to the capital. Otherwise, if there is a quarrel, the Ming clan clan members will become the key to the game, and that will be given to Qing Abbot Returning the fields is becoming more difficult, and he is also waiting for the engineering regiment to gradually grow.
Ling Yunyi's meaning is very clear. He wants to transform Henan from a thorn in the side of the Qing Dynasty to a pioneer in returning farmland.
The Qing Dynasty in Henan Province has never been fully launched, and when the emperor finally became completely impatient, it was doomed. If this long-standing problem is not overcome, the Ming Dynasty's New Deal will be widely questioned.
The country has lost its great trust, and people's hearts are filled with doubts.
People do not suffer from imbalances. Once other places see that Henan’s Qingzhang is not a problem at all, other places will follow suit.
So, for the emperor, Zhang Juzheng, and the imperial court, the land issue in Henan must be resolved, and it must be resolved completely, in order to deter the stubborn and stubborn people.
"When necessary, I have to work with Qi Shuai. As soon as Qi Shuai came back, I have something to entrust to me." Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he added another burden to Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang said with great certainty: "Where your Majesty's sword is pointing, the Ming army's front is heading! All directions are guilty, and all directions are guilty."
Your Majesty is not wrong, even the whole world says that your Majesty is wrong. , that is also the world’s fault!
Report to the emperor and rescue the head of Guizhou. This was the promise made when the Beijing camp was established. A gentleman should keep his promise.
