Chapter 730 Southeastern Raiders (Part 2)
.One.One.One.One.One.One.One.
"What exactly is the cause of the matter? Silently asked, this is very important for solving the problem: "Have you figured it out?"
"I figured it out and said, "It's like this. In order to control the bent brigades, Nanjing recruited more than 100,000 troops, and these people ate horses and chewed. With the help of soldiers and armor, the annual expenses were gone. Nanjing's Ministry of Revenue has always been very uncomfortable, but at that time, the war was the most important, and it was still possible to carry on. However, in recent years, the bent brigades have disappeared in Jiangbei. More than 100,000 people have no use in getting money for nothing, so the Ministry of Revenue was not happy and began to cut military expenditures in different ways.
"According to the rules, every spring and autumn, when the green and yellow are not allowed to be met, half a tael of silver per stone is paid. However, two years ago, Mabutang issued a notice to reduce the color silver to four cents, and instructed Huang Shilang, who reviewed the monthly security booklets, to conduct continuous reviews to ensure that the reduction of personnel is removed from the support policy. Later, it was not enough, so he asked the soldiers to "wife food to reduce and exempt them."
"According to the old system, the officers and soldiers of various battalions in Nanjing received six dou of rice every month, and those with wives could receive one stone. The extra four dou called "Wife's food is here when something happened." Zhu Wu said: "Originally, the soldiers' salary was deducted for a long time, and they were even more angry when they heard the news that their wife's food was to be stopped.
"Say more details." Chen Si said softly, he needed as much detail as possible to support his judgment.
"At this time, Ma Butang had received an imperial edict and was going to Beijing to serve as the Minister of Revenue. Cai Kelian, the new Secretary of Nanjing, was unable to take matters due to illness, so Huang Shilang was appointed as the Ministry of Revenue. The officers and soldiers were famine last year, and the rice was expensive to 8 cents per stone, and asked the Ministry of Revenue to restore the original amount of 5 cents per stone for silver. Huang Shilang ignored it. And according to regulations, military rations should be given in the early month. However, by the middle of this month, the Ministry of Revenue still did not provide them, and the reason why there was no military pay was that the court approved the reduction of "wife food." Later, the resentment in the army was boiling in the army. However, by the middle of this month, the Ministry of Revenue still did not provide them. It was said that the reason why there was no military pay was that the court approved the reduction of "wife food." Later, the resentment in the army was boiling.
Zhu Wu licked his chapped lips and then said, "Six days ago, Zhang Jian, the Minister of War in Nanjing, visited the Zhenwu Camp to read the army. The troops surrounded him and asked for wages. During this period, there was a conflict with Zhang Jian's protection. Zhang Cai escaped from the siege and asked the officers to severely punish the soldiers who were causing trouble. After arresting several people, Zhenwu Camp was in a big uproar. The soldiers rescued the arrested comrades and became more and more intense. They took advantage of the situation to besiege the Ministry of Revenue, which led to this incident.
While the two were talking, Qi Jiguang came over, as if he had something to say.
Silent nodded to him, signaling but it was okay to say it. Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice: "Sir, the general has just approached the city wall to investigate. The city gate is open, and the rebels are in groups inside and outside the city, carrying bags, revealing Dan to threaten the people, looting property, and even openly beat the people, beating them like bandits, without military discipline, and seemingly not prepared at all.
"What do you mean?" Looking at the city of Nanjing in twilight in silence, like a sleeping giant beast.
"The soldiers are the gods." Qi Jiguang said: "The last general is willing to lead the headquarters to seize the city gate immediately and rescue the six departments' yamen!"
"Yuan Jing made a point. Xiao Zhu Wu said on the side: "Nanjing City has more than 100,000 troops. Although the soldiers of Zhenwu Camp are the soldiers. However, there are many who have risen now. Five or six camps, including Xiangwu Camp, Guangwu Camp, Yongyi Camp, etc., responded. The remaining soldiers of the battalions were all shaken. The officers could not suppress them and were about to enter the city. Moreover, they were not all locals in Nanjing. robbery and beating people in the street have occurred. If they were not shocked by thunder, they would probably become more uncontrollable. The silent did not answer immediately, but listened quietly, and then thought for a long time before saying: "Have you ever thought about whether the officials in the city will save themselves?"
The two of them were stunned and nodded, "It is indeed possible."
"It's more than possible." Silently, he walked with his hands behind his back: "Although Nanjing is Liudu, there are all six government offices, and there are adults who have seen the world after storms. It has been five days since the mutiny began. They cannot stay away from their hands. They must have taken self-rescue and said, "What we need now is to know what they have done and what step they have taken. Before this, we cannot act rashly. If the self-rescue of the people inside is interrupted and several officials die due to their actions, it will be a great responsibility.
"It depends entirely on the instructions of the ruler." Qi Jiguang and Zhu Wu immediately reserved their opinions.
"Fifth Master, you have to go there again." Silently said to Zhu Wu: "Be sure to figure out the problem I just mentioned, it is related to how to act next
Zhu Wu smiled and said, "I'll go and talk, and then turn around and disappear into the night.
Chen Si said to Qi Jiguang again: "Brother Yuan Jing, have you got the Nanjing City Defense Map?"
"Qi Jiguang nodded.
"I want you to design a few plans, what should you do if you have a strong storm, how should you do it if you are rescued, how should you say silently: "If you have a chaotic life, how should you stop it, etc.", consider all possible situations in advance. Where should you attack and where should you control it.
"Is it the kind you do on Chongming Island?" Qi Jiguang asked. The worst plan at that time was to fight with the Yu family's arms, and silently let the bulli Jiguang make such a plan.
"Good." said silent jaw: "The more you prepare, the better the effect you will be.
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one
Waiting patiently for the middle of the night, "Zhu Wu came back, and the young man who was fighting with a young man was brought back.
"Sir, this is the long follower of He Shou, the eunuch in Nanjing." Zhu Wu said: "You can use your light body skills to fly over the eaves and walls to escape from the yamen to the stronghold of our Jinyiwei while the night is dark."
Through the fire, he looked at the little eunuch silently and asked him, "What's your name?"
"The little eunuch, Xiaoqi, kowtowed and said, "It was Eunuch He's eunuch who was in charge. He was ordered by Eunuch He and came out to report the news. I didn't expect Grandpa Manager to come so soon."
“Get up and talk.
"Silently nodded and said, "What's going on in the yamen? Tell me about it."
The eunuch said with a palpitation, "The desperate gangs of Zhenwu Camp rushed into Nanjing five days ago, and the bastards also vented their anger with their nostrils, blocking them for a few times, and then they watched the fun, asking them to surround the Ministry of Revenue and the other battalions to follow suit and surrounded the other yamen, demanding immediate salary. Zhang Butang of the Ministry of War and our father-in-law tried to get them to withdraw, but they were bombed back. Later, the two sides were in a stalemate for a day, and Zhenwu Camp could no longer hold back. They rushed into the Ministry of Revenue and wanted to arrest the two ministers, but they did not find anyone, so they caught Huang Shilang and several doctors and Yuanwailang.
The silent eyebrows were twisted into a shape. But without making any sound, I continued to listen to the little eunuch preaching: "At the same time, they rushed into the Ministry of Revenue's Bank of China, and now they were completely clean. They thought they had been hidden in advance by the Ministry of Revenue. So they became excited and pulled Mr. Huang to the bell and drum tower, stripped naked and tied them on the drum, shouted and scolded and beat the Ministry of Revenue. Later, the situation was out of control. Qiu Bayi beat him and beat him to death, and then he gave up his hand.
"But they would not give up until they got the money. They would not give up. They said, "They continued to attack other yamen and forced Zhang Jian and my father-in-law to negotiate with them. In order to avoid another death, Zhang Butang and my father-in-law had to agree to give up their wages as soon as possible. They tried to raise 20,000 taels of silver first. The mutiny soldiers refused to agree, but they could not calm them down. Later, they had no choice but to pay 30,000 taels of silver out of their own pockets, and 50,000 to share it. The mood of Zhenwuying was slightly relieved.
"I didn't expect that the gourd would rise up, and other camps that made trouble would also need money. Some people who didn't make trouble for the time being also involved, saying that they could not treat them badly. The eunuch Xiaoqi said: "If you want to pay the money for the owed salary, you will get at least 400,000 taels of silver. Even if you sell it, you can't afford the money. My father-in-law asked for some grace, but today, they were excited again and said that they would not see the money before dawn, so they attacked another yamen and killed several high-ranking officials.
The little eunuch spoke in a mixed manner, but at least he understood the silence. He nodded and said, "Does your father-in-law have any tasks?"
Xiaoqi thought for a while and slapped his head and said, "Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot the serious matter. My father-in-law asked Xiaode to come out and asked the brothers of Jinyiwei to help borrow money. He took out a stack of IOU from his arms and said, "This is the IOU signed and sealed by my father-in-law and Zhang Butang. Please help from Grandpa Jingliu.
Chen Si took the IOU and counted the amount. It was a total of 500,000 taels. After looking at the signature, the two of them were not confused at all, and the stamped ones were all private seals.
Seeing that Chen Si stopped talking, Zhu Wu signaled Xiao Qi to follow him and not disturb the thoughts of Master Jinglei.
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one
Chen Si had basically understood the situation in the city. Now it was time to make a decision. He knew very well that the task at the moment was to rescue trapped officials and not to give up any trace of arsenic. As a member of this group, he must have the awareness of taking the interests of this group as the highest interest, otherwise it would be difficult to tolerate this group, so he could not afford the casualties of any official.
At the same time, the chaos of war must be calmed down immediately, and the weapons of soldiers are also fierce. There are so many blood-contaminated weapons in the city, and there are still many people who are ready to move. The situation is complicated and dangerous. If it is handled improperly, it will cause a disaster. If you suffer such a stain, your political life will be over.
These two points overwhelmingly. As for severe punishment of the murderer, punishment of the past and the future, it is not important now.
Make up his mind, take a deep breath of the cold night wind in silence, and a bold plan emerged. After repeated consideration, he said to Sanchi behind him: "Come Qi Jiguang and Zhu Wu."
Zhu Wu was extremely capable and arrived in a blink of an eye. Qi Jiguang kept making those plans and stayed up all night, so he arrived soon. Seeing that the adult was asking about the situation of the guards in Xiaoqi City, the two waited quietly. After Xiaoqi retreated, they came up to salute and said, "What are the instructions of the sir?"
"I have thought it through carefully." Silently said: "From now on, you must strictly obey me, and all responsibilities will be borne by me.
"The two of you have never seen such a leader who takes responsibility for a lot of responsibility.
"No need to say too much, I will not be with me." Chen Si raised his hand and said, "Before dawn, I looked at the east. Seeing that it was white, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Ye Ke really short and said seriously: "You obey the order, General Qi, you can quickly order the previous troops and horses to capture Zhengyang Gate!" In fact, the closest thing to them is Tongji Gate, but it makes sense to go far, because Nanjing City is different from the Beijing City built strictly according to "nine lines, nine latitudes, north and south central axis, and it is small" to attract dragon beauty. To put it in the wine, that is, it is red according to the mountain terrain. Gancheng is on the easternmost side of the entire Nanjing City, and all the ministry and yamen are also concentrated in the southeast corner of the imperial city.
Qi Jiguang had already mastered the map of Nanjing, and the street scene in the city immediately appeared in his mind. "Enter Zhengyang Gate, it was Jinwu, and the guards were stationed in the guards. To the north was Chongxi Street, and after passing Chongxi Street, it was the six yamen listed on both sides of the Qianbulu, and further out were the lower-level yamen such as Zhan Shi Mansion, Hanlin Academy, Tongzhengsi, and Jinyiwei, neatly listed on the south side of the Forbidden City, as if visiting the palace." Emperor Zhu's desire for control can also be seen.
He then listened to the silent order: "After taking down Zhengyang Gate, immediately control the guards of the two prefectures, and my central army will also move forward to the Jinwu Guard." After saying that, he turned to Zhu Wu and said: "You and your subordinates wear official uniforms, have neat ceremonial guards, raise the banner of the Southeast Masters, enter the city to tell the troops, convey three things to them, and stretch out three fingers and said: "First, the new Southeast Masters have arrived; Second, I understand the hardships of the soldiers in the army, and only have to gather in front of the ministry to ask for money. You can understand or forgive me. As long as they stop the horse, I can handle it with leniently; Third, if my wife and food are stopped, I will immediately recover the color and pay the money as soon as possible."
Zhu Wu struggled to remember it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: The little ones are all rough people, so I'm afraid I can't remember so many words.
"Then just shout," he thought silently, "The general has an order, and the wife's food is stopped, and all the money will be released as originally, and the army will return to the camp. I will ensure that the past will not be blamed."
"This is much easier to remember." Zhu Wu smiled and looked at the silent face and said in a low voice: "But is it a habit that the officers and soldiers from Southeast have changed their titles. The commander refers to Hu Zongxian.
"The one who plays this illusion is silent and self-deprecating, "The soldiers are not officials. They only accept the ones who take them to war. Who buys the accounts of my newcomer's businessman?" He said, "I can't say that, I have to borrow Brother Merlin's prestige and feelings."
Finally, he ordered in a deep voice: "The army was waiting outside Zhengyang Gate, in a dispersed formation, and erecting flags, making it seem that the more people, the better."
"Abide by the order".
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one
At dawn, Qi Jiguang led the team out. The Qi family army was well-known and silently bypassed a section of the city wall. When the sky was getting brighter, it had already appeared outside Zhengyang Gate. The Qi family army then appeared in the main gate of the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty. It had become a dome of chaos and revelation. The bonfires were about to be extinguished, and the ground was filled with leftover bones, drinking wine jars, and smelly stools. As the snoring sounded, the chaotic army with open chests lay all over the ground with drunkenness, and there was no existing army approaching.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Qi Jiguang felt deeply sad. When he was in Suzhou a few years ago, he cooperated with the Nanjing defenders to annihilate the enemy many times. At that time, their military discipline and combat effectiveness were excellent, and they had many achievements. Unexpectedly, they did not go there for many years. These soldiers had ruined their military discipline and harmed the people, which made people angry and very heartbroken.
Taking a deep breath, he waved his hand vigorously and said, "Enter directly and occupy the East and West Mansions, without paying attention to some scattered soldiers and brave men!"
So the soldiers of the Qi family began to run into the city. The neat footsteps woke up the rioters under the city gate. They rubbed their sleepy eyes and saw a brightly-clad army that had already arrived in front of them. They were immediately scared and at a loss. Many people were motionless and almost trampled to death by the army.
As soon as the army entered the city, it advanced from left to right, and rushed to the Jinwu Guards in the west and to the garrisons in the east. On the way, I met the chaotic army who came to check, and ignored it and headed straight to the destination.
The Jinyiwei, who was wearing dazzling official governments and holding the flag of the commander behind, ran towards Qianbulang under the leadership of Zhu Wu. Although there were not many people, they were full of momentum.
Qi Jiguang went to the Guard Office, which was the command post of the Nanjing City Guards. When he was so strict, he saw the Qi family rushing in and asked nervously: "Who is it?"
"Under the Southeast Master's command, Qi's army!" The answer was thunderous, and the defenders were petrified without any intention of stopping them.
Qi Jiguang went in unimpededly and saw Zhang Huang's insolent garrison, Wei Duke Xu Pengju, and a group of garrison generals.
The Duke looked at Qi Jiguang who was kneeling on the steps and shed tears and said tremblingly: "You, you are here,"
Qi Jiguang sighed inwardly, Xu Da's descendants were so cowardly, really embarrassing his idol. But he still said respectfully: "I will come here on the order of Shen Jinglei. It's too late to save the Lord. Please forgive me for your crimes."
"It's good to come, it's good to come." Xu Pengju smiled with relief: "Where is Shen Jinglei now?"
"Just outside the city, Qi Jiguang replied respectfully.
"How can he do something to do?" Xu Pengju said excitedly to the generals: "Hurry up and go and greet me."
Chapter completed!
