"What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy? Who's causing trouble?"

Huang Maoguan tried his best to suppress his bad mood and questioned the clerk unceremoniously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the panicked face of the clerk.

The clerk broke into the room without reporting, but Huang Maoguan thought he was summoning people in because he smashed the cup.

But now I look like a clerk, it doesn't look like it.

"What's going on?"

Huang Maoguan took the airs of a third-rank official and asked.

"Big, big, sir, it's not good. The outside is surrounded by the soldiers of the Zhenwu Camp."

The clerk was very elegant and seemed very literary. He was frightened by the appearance of the soldiers outside the office and stuttered in his speech.

"Those Qiu Ba dared to come here to make trouble, so he was so impatient to live."

After finally suppressing his anger, he was ignited again after listening to the clerk's statement.

Huang Maoguan shook his sleeves and simply tidied up his official robe. He had to step out and go to the gate of the official office to see what kind of military soldiers were so bold and dared to surround the Ministry of Revenue. Do you still have to kill the officials and rebel?

The Ming Dynasty was in peace for a hundred years. Although there were Mongolian Tartars in the north and Japanese pirates in the south, they were all scabies. Could it be that they could still fight this Nanjing city?

For officials, being an official in Nanjing is just a blessing, and enjoying the scenery of the ten miles of Qinhuai, but I never thought that something would happen.

Although a few years ago, Japanese pirates once ran to Nanjing to show off their power, what if?

Their ending was not completely killed by the government army, and they were not left with a piece of armor.

Well, today, the soldiers in the Beijing camp in Nanjing dared to encircle the Ministry of Revenue Office, which is a great deal.

At this moment, Huang Maoguan felt a strong murderous intent in his heart. He wanted to kill him to warn him, otherwise he would be a joke from Nanjing City in the future.

"Sir, don't go, don't go, those soldiers were like crazy, shouting outside the door to get their military pay, otherwise, otherwise."

"Otherwise, what's going on?"

Huang Maoguan stood up and asked indifferently.

"They're going to break in"

Speaking of this, the clerk didn't know what to say. There were already excited soldiers outside who shouted to kill Huang Maoguan, the dog thief. Can he say it here?

No, isn’t this asking for a scolding yourself?

"They dare to attack the Ministry of Revenue. I want to see if they have eaten the heart of bears or the courage of leopards."

At this moment, Huang Maozhan hated the generals of Zhenwu Camp and dared to instigate soldiers to make money. This is what they can learn in Nanjing City.

Those border troops often made money, otherwise they would not have transferred Nanjing's reserves to Beijing, but the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and many times the imperial court was out of reach.

Although Nanjing is thousands of miles away from Beijing, it is Liudu and there are six tribes. These Qiu Ba also want to learn the best styles in the north. Hum

At this time, Huang Maoguan did not think about the reasons why the soldiers were causing the soldiers to make trouble, but instead pushed all the blame to the other party.

After Huang Maoguan finished speaking, he stepped out of the office and walked towards the gate of the office. However, the closer he got to the gate, the louder the noise outside the yard was. I am afraid there were not thousands of people.

Gradually, Huang Maoguan felt nervous. There were all kinds of shouting in the noise. Some people even said they wanted to kill him. Are these people going to rebel?

Although I was angry, I felt a sense of fear that I felt unconsciously.

Huang Maoguan had the experience of governing the local area, and had some troubles or small-scale civil unrest in the local area. However, the situation was completely different from today. There were no old men, old ladies, women and children here, all adult men in their twenties and thirties, all military soldiers.

When I walked to the gate of the office, the gate was already closed and dared not open. The gatekeeper and the idle people in the office gathered inside the door and were anxiously discussing something.

"What's going on outside? How many people are causing trouble?"

Although Huang Maoguan was afraid, he still showed his former official power and asked loudly.

In such an environment, the volume of the speech you usually can't hear at all, and now he feels that his ears are buzzing, which is too noisy.

There are more than 2,000 people outside the yard. Even if you say one by one, the sounds are very loud even if they are not loud.

"Sir, think of a solution quickly. There are no more than a thousand people coming from outside."

A small official bowed in front of Huang Maoguan and replied.

"Open the door for me, I want to see who dares to cause trouble in Nanjing."

At this moment, Huang Maoguan plucked up his courage and ordered loudly.

"No, sir, the soldiers outside are clamoring to beg for food and military pay as crazy. If they open the door and let them break in, the consequences will be

Previously, Old Man Zhang argued with the soldiers who came first, but was kicked a few times. They saw that there were still many people coming here, so they hurriedly closed the door.

They almost couldn't close the door, and those people were pushing hard outside. If we hadn't heard the noise outside, we would have let them break into the yard."

The minor official didn't care about Huang Maoguan's identity as a premier, and hurriedly explained what happened here before and after the closing.

Well, this is also a kind of show of merit.

Huang Maoguan is not a fool either. He knew that if the soldiers were really driven crazy, they could do anything. This was the time when the crowd was excited. The situation was difficult to control. If they really opened the door, the consequences would be unpredictable. Then he no longer asked to open the door.

But he always has to take a look at the situation outside and be clear about it.

"Come on a ladder and I'll go up and take a look."

It is not difficult for Huang Maoguan to open the door. He was blocked by the people in the local government before. He moved a ladder to the wall to see the situation outside, and decided to be the leader who caused trouble, and take his time behind him.

At this time, Huang Maoguan thought that no matter how he ended today, the leader must do the law, and he must see that the general in Zhenwu Camp was leading the trouble.

Soon, a ladder was brought to the wall beside the gate. Huang Maoguan pulled open the person and got up the ladder himself. He stepped on it in a few steps, stretched his head out of the courtyard wall and looked outside. But soon he retracted and retreated.

Huang Maoguan, who had gone down the ladder, finally turned pale at this time. Although he had been on the wall for a short time, he could see the general situation outside. He was all stinky soldiers, and he didn't see any generals and officers in Zhenwu Camp and those in charge of the team.

There was no military general leader, but the soldiers were causing trouble. At this time, Huang Maoguan realized that it was not good, and the soldiers outside the door had already lost control.

If they were led by the generals, they knew what it was, and they would have to come here to make trouble. They would not have done anything uncontrollable. They were just to scare them and ask for military pay from him.

But the current situation is that there are soldiers outside, what do they know?

The more ignorant the person is, the more courageous he is. He is the minister of the Ministry of Revenue and nothing is left in front of these Qiu Bas, and he can only show off his power in front of the generals.

As the saying goes, even if a scholar meets a soldier, he can’t explain it clearly.

At this time, Huang Maoguan finally felt scared in his heart. If he had been worried before, he was actually more worried that he would become a joke in his colleagues' mouths. By this time, he was already worried that this matter would be difficult to deal with.

Just now on the wall, he had heard the shouts outside clearly. These troublemakers were shouting that they wanted to restore the old rules and return the military pay of one monday that they had deducted last year, and also asked to issue military pay on time.

At this time, Huang Maoguan leaned on the ladder and thought to himself that the soldiers were making money, so this matter would not be hidden. Sooner or later, it would be passed to the capital, and what?

The deduction of a penny of silver was reported by Ma Kun when he was the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing. Although he did not reply to the agreement, he did not reject it. They took it as expected. If the matter was a big deal, the superiors would not admit that they agreed to the matter.

As for the arrears of military pay, the whole Ming Dynasty did this, but this is not reasonable. At least the court system does not allow this.

At this time, Huang Maoguan suddenly realized that in the past, he felt that everything seemed to have major loopholes in every matter, and they were not supported by the court's laws.

what to do?

Now Huang Maoguan is urgently needed to find a way to deal with the current situation. At least he should coax the soldiers who are causing trouble back to the military camp first, but what should I do?

He saw just now that the soldiers blocked the door outside the gate were probably not thousands, but almost all the people from Zhenwu Camp arrived, with more than two thousand people.

He ordered to the small official who answered earlier: "You go up to the wall and shout, and say something is wrong. Let them go to the Ministry of War. They are in the army and are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. This is the Ministry of Revenue."

"Sir, they are here to ask for salary."

The little official naturally knew about Zhenwu Camp and said hesitantly.

"I know, you just shouted up and asked them to find the Ministry of War."

At this moment, what Huang Maoguan could think of was naturally the troubled waters. He first sent the people away, and then hurried back to the Ministry of Revenue. This incident caused a headache for the group of guys from the Ministry of War who only paid money and did not do personnel affairs.

The little official had no choice but to climb up to the wall and shout to the outside according to Huang Maoguan's wishes.

However, all that greeted him was the stones flying in from outside the yard and a few arrows.

This shocked the little official and almost slid down the ladder directly.

Seeing an arrow shot into the office, Huang Maoguan was also scared, and this time he was really scared.

What is the soldiers without military generals?

I dare not think, I really dare not think.

“Is there anyone in the backyard?”

Huang Maoguan urgently asked the people around him.

"No, most of them are blocking the door, and this yard is just this door."

The little official replied with a sad face, "He is the head of the place, and his work was very easy in the past, and Shangguan came here only when he paid the salary, and he almost never came to the office on weekdays."

He had already arranged the matter here, guardians and cleaners. He even earned money by drinking tea in the city every day. But he didn't expect that such a fatal thing would happen today.

"You can find a few legs and feet to report the message to me outside, and you can only find a few adults in the city to deal with this matter."

As he said that, Huang Maoguan walked towards his public housing and he wanted to write a note and ask someone to take it there.

Soon, he wrote several notes in the public room. The clerk who was nimble and was waiting outside the door, and handed them over the notes to them and did the job in the office of the Ministry of Revenue. Few people who were illiterate knew each of them more or less. He told them about the places they went to and asked them to climb over the wall and leave here from behind.

The soldiers were in trouble, and the blame could not be carried out by their Ministry of Revenue. The eunuchs and the garrisons in Nanjing could not escape.
