Chapter 441 440 Jiahe appears

The deputy envoy Wang mentioned by the staff refers to Wang Yizhong, whose courtesy name is Zhengshu, and is from She County. He was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing. He went from Kaifeng to Jiangxi.

A month ago, the rebels died in battle when they attacked Taihe. Before that, Wang Rui, the commander of Jiangxi, received a letter from Fujian, sent troops to escort Guang soldiers, Huang Feng, Yuan San and other scattered soldiers back to Fujian. However, they lost control and joined forces with thousands of bandits to attack Taihe, which caused this disaster.

No matter what, as the commander, Wang Rui's crime of dereliction of duty cannot be escaped.

"Original family, no matter whether the capital city knows what's going on in Ganzhou, we have to bite to death here. It was the bandits who sent out by Wang Rui to the group of riots. As for the local ignorant people who made trouble, they were all coerced by the bandits. They had no choice but to do it, and it had nothing to do with the government."

Speaking of which, if the people of Ganzhou were forced to rebel by the government due to taxes and services, he, as the governor, would be at fault, either big or small.

Yao Yiyuan naturally didn't want to take the blame. Why should he help the officials of Ganzhou Prefecture take the blame?

Before, he was considering how to explain the troubled people, but now after hearing the suggestions of his staff, Yao Yiyuan thinks it is feasible.

It doesn’t matter if it’s really not true, just take it as a real person and report it to you.

However, Yao Yiyuan thought a little further, and caused trouble to Jiangxi. In addition to Wang Rui's improper handling of things and negligence, he also sued the officials in Fujian and Guangxi incompetent and unable to pacify the area.

Yao Yiyuan felt that this plan was very clever, and according to the aides' wishes, he happened to make a fuss about this matter and sued Wang Rui.

Jiangxi was in peace under its own rule, so how could he help Wang Rui and Min Guangyongcai take the blame?

"The situation in Jiangxi is a bit worse, so it will be easier for the boss to write a letter to ask for taxes and silver as a military pay."

The staff continued to give advice.

The official document was rejected just now, and it would be unrealistic to want money in the short term. We have to make a long-term plan and just dig a hole to bury the untreated people first.

Yao Yiyuan nodded, then prepared to write a letter with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Yao Yiyuan had a good relationship with Zhang Yi, the current military officer, and told him about the real situation in Jiangxi, especially Wang Rui's dereliction of duty and the incompetence of the officials in Fujian and Guangxi, so he had to write a lot of things, and also talked about the lack of military pay in Jiangxi.

After writing the letter, he called his confidant to send it to the capital overnight.

For more than ten days, the fasting and ritual activities hosted by Emperor Jiajing ended, and all the officials of the court re-entered their government affairs. However, bad news continued to come from Fujian, Guangdong and other places, which also shocked the officials of the court.

In recent days, Zhang Lian's rebels have been sending troops to attack surrounding prefectures and counties. Although the activity area is mainly in Fujian, it can invade Guangdong, Jiangxi and other places from time to time.

On this day, the left-ranking military officer Zhang Yi reported that the three provinces of Fujian, Guangxi and Jiangxi were full of thieves. He asked to use the military salaries of Guangdong, Guangxi and Nangan in recent years to reduce the amount of military salaries in Guangdong, Guangxi to prepare for the purpose of expedition and suppression in the other place, so as not to disturb the people. He also said that Wang Yingshi, the deputy envoy Wang Yizhong, was captured by the commander of the Jiangxi Dushi, who was appointed as the commander of the Jiangxi Dushi, sent the rebellious soldiers Yuan San, and even ordered the attack on the thieves to cause them to communicate with the thieves to defeat our army. The crime was unpredictable.

Two days later, Jiangxi Inspector Censor Hui Gu submitted a report that the Jiangxi war disaster occurred at the military gate of the Fujian Metropolitan Commander Zhang Qimo Cheng, sending Guang soldiers Huang Feng and Yuan San and 700 others back. The Jiangxi governor sent the capital officer Wang Rui to send him. Qimo then appointed Yuan San and 400 others to control the misconduct. More than thousands of local bandits merged with him and caused great trouble. He asked Qimo to arrest Li Tingzan, the county magistrate of Yushan, and Lu Tianyou, the county magistrate of Yongfeng, to punish him with important laws, and to add a garrison to station troops in Wan'an to block the auspicious counties.

After analyzing the official documents sent by Jiangxi, the Ministry of War also found that Wang Rui was inappropriate and guilty. Qi Mo was guilty of being the same as Rui, and arrested Ting Zan and others. For the addition of Wan'an garrison, Emperor Jiajing would need to report the matter of adding Wan'an garrison.

Emperor Jiajing agreed to the memorial of the Ministry of War.

As long as it is conducive to the extermination of Zhang Lian's rebels as soon as possible, Emperor Jiajing will not refuse.

Not only was the order issued by Jiangxi, the Fujian Inspector Censor arrested Wang Rui, Zhang Qimo and others to remove the capital, but also ordered the governors to suppress the thieves and calm the area.

But even so, the prefectures and counties still reported attacks by thieves and were sent to the capital, which made Emperor Jiajing very worried in the West Garden.

Fortunately, there was good news from Xuanfu finally, which comforted the emperor's heart.

The enemy invaded Xuanfu and entered the country in a few ways. Deputy General Ma Fang and others supervised the troops to control him, captured the chief five-member instrument and other captives, and 14 people captured, and 18 people killed, and more than 240 Dama horses were captured, and the enemy fled.

There are heads, prisoners and captures, which is one of the few victories in the border town this year, but Emperor Jiajing is still not very happy.

It was on such a day that another thing happened that Wei Guangde, who stayed in Prince Yu's mansion, once again gained knowledge.

In July of the 40th year of Jiajing, the Imperial Heavenly Bureau reported that "it was a solar eclipse, and it was a case of exemption from rescue in one minute and five seconds."

Yuan Wei, Minister of Rites, immediately submitted a memorial: "I heard that Tang Dynasty said that the sun was not changed by the king's way. In ancient times, there was no food or the moon changed and avoid it, or the five stars were hidden below to resist insults and save it. Some were shallow in the number of contacts or in the solar calendar, the yang was strong and the yin was small, and there were no food or the virtue was still bright and there were small fogs. Then the sky was hidden and did not eat even though it was intercourse, and these four were born from virtue. The emperor served the father to the heavens and the brothers to serve the sun. The yin retreated and all things were brilliant. Therefore, the day was prosperous and prosperous, and the yin atmosphere was dissipated. The food was the same as the food was not the same as the food was not the same. The ministers and others did not have the pleasure."

On the first day of July, Wei Guangde heard about a solar eclipse early in the morning. Although it was only one-five minutes, according to later generations, it was a partial solar eclipse, but he was still a little looking forward to it.

have a look.

The last time the solar eclipse was very big, almost a total solar eclipse, but I just wanted to go there and forgot to appreciate the solar eclipse.

This time it was a partial solar eclipse, which is also good.

So, Wei Guangde watched the sun in the yard of the royal palace for a day, but he didn't even see a single point.

According to the Imperial Heaven Supervision, a solar eclipse of one minute and five seconds cannot be seen at all.

In ancient times, the measurement of solar and lunar eclipses was done in minutes and seconds, but it did not refer to the duration of the solar and lunar eclipses, but to the degree of the solar and lunar eclipses.

In the Ming Dynasty, the solar and lunar eclipse was divided into ten. If the solar and lunar eclipse was predicted, it was similar to the "total eclipse" mentioned in later generations. The forecast was three points, and the solar and lunar eclipse was about three ten points.

This time, another solar eclipse after the February solar eclipse, one minute and five seconds, but in fact, Wei Guangde didn't see any solar eclipse happening at all.

At night, Wei Guangde, who was sleeping in bed, felt enlightened. It was not a farce that Yuan Wei colluded with the people of the Imperial Heaven Criminal to deceive the emperor.

Last time, the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisory Commission made a remark that “don’t eat”. In order to avoid the troubles, the Imperial Heaven Supervision Commission helped to cooperate. In the end, the Imperial Heaven Supervision was not only not punished for its predictions, but also received rewards.

Wei Guangde was a little suspicious at this time. Yuan Wei was in a bad mood because the news from the south was not good, so he colluded with the Imperial Heaven Supervision to flatter the emperor.

Emperor Jiajing was obviously different from the previous Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and seemed to like these stupid things.

Although there are speculations, Wei Guangde did not want to be a messenger of justice. He did not understand astronomy, so he naturally could not determine whether the Imperial Heavenly Prison was forged, let alone what was good about the memorial?

Being a wicked person also made the emperor unhappy and offended Yuan Wei and the people from the Imperial Heavenly Prison.

However, after this incident, Wei Guangde also learned what it means to "subject to his preferences".

For this reason, Wei Guangde felt a little satisfied in his heart, thinking that he had seen through Yuan Wei's tricks.

Of course, Wei Guangde did not tell his guesses, told King Yu and others, nor did he think about how to copy such auspiciousness. Emperor Bo Jiajing was very happy.

"I heard that the Ministry of War is discussing who to appoint to the garrison of Wan'an. Guangde, have you received a letter from your family recently?"

On this day, Wei Guangde arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion, and was pulled aside by Zhang Juzheng and asked in a low voice.

"Wan'an Guard?"

Wei Guangde just stood a little stunned and understood what Zhang Juzheng meant.

He served as a garrison and was at least at the level of the assistant commander of the guard. Although he had been an official in Beijing for many years, his father still had a thousand households and had no way to get promoted.

When Zhang Juzheng asked about it, Wei Guangde thought of this matter and seemed to be able to operate it.

However, Wei Guangde quickly rejected this idea and became the Wan'an garrison, which would be linked to the extermination of Zhang Lian's gang of rebels.

Is Zhang Lian and his gang of rebels easy to suppress?

Not easy to suppress.

Zhang Lian would indeed find a stronghold and build his old nest in the mountains of Fujian, which made it impossible for officers and soldiers to launch a large-scale attack. The terrain was too complicated.

Not to mention that the garrison only needs to protect the local area. When you arrive at that position, the military orders ask you to fight and you have to send troops to fight. Do you think you can refuse to fight if you are a local security team?

Then the sin will be great.

To be honest, Wei Guangde doesn't want his father to get involved in the war again, this is not a joke.

Although in the capital, Wei Guangde had read the Fujian report and knew that Zhang Lian had recruited more than 100,000 outlaws.

Although the official army has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Fujian, Jiangxi and other places, what kind of combat power are they?

Although I don’t know how strong Zhang Lian’s group of people are, you can tell by looking at the battle report that it seems to be much stronger than the official army. More than a dozen prefectures and counties have been captured by rebels, but it seems that the other party has not yet begun to expand the territory. After occupying the city, they plundered it and then retreated to the mountains.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde smiled and shook his head.

"That group of thieves will pretend to be poor people and steal the city. When our army arrives, they will retreat to the mountains to resist stubbornly. I am easy to fight this battle."

Wei Guangde said, "I haven't received a letter from home. Although I don't know if my father means this, even if he really has this intention, I will not help him operate this matter."

"Oh, that's good."

Zhang Juzheng didn't say much, just nodded and said.

"Brother Uncle, but Ge Lao Xu has a way to talk to Shangshu Yang and recommend the position of Wan'an's garrison?"

Wei Guangde asked casually.

"Your Majesty has approved the Ministry of War, but there are obvious differences between the Ministry of War on whom to appoint the Wan'an garrison. Most of the generals and officials who were mainly vacant suffered great losses in the fight against the thieves and Japanese, while the Wan'an garrison was responsible for preventing the rebels from invading Jiangxi, which is a heavy responsibility."

Having suffered a great loss, it actually means that these people have lost their lives in the battle. The Ministry of War has determined that these people are not capable, so they are unwilling to re-activate them.

Without external intervention, the Ministry of War naturally hoped to choose an outstanding military officer to serve as the garrison of Wan'an, otherwise there would be always a defeat, and perhaps Emperor Jiajing would doubt their abilities that day.

"I heard from the teacher yesterday that the Ministry of War has begun to expand the scope of selection of generals. If Shandai's family is interested, we should talk to me as soon as possible. We can also operate the Ministry of War. If it doesn't work, let my teacher come forward."

Zhang Juzheng continued.

Wei Guangde nodded slightly, knowing that the career path of military generals is actually the same as that of civil officials, with one carrot and one pit, and it is extremely difficult to get promoted.

This was the case when I was a hundred households before, not to mention that my father is already a thousand households now.

It seems that it is indeed an opportunity to add a new military position, but when it comes to the war, Wei Guangde still strengthened his heart and let his father stay in Jiujiangwei, which is the foundation of the family.

It is better not to move easily as a military general.

While having a tea chat with Zhang Juzheng, Yin Shidan next door was still giving a lecture to King Yu.

"By the way, I heard that Your Majesty intends to add another lecturer to the Prince's Mansion. Has Shandai heard about this?"

While he was talking, Zhang Juzheng suddenly said something again.

"A new lecturer?"

Wei Guangde was a little surprised. In fact, as King Yu grew older, his basic coursework had been completed long ago. Now, most of the lectures by Yin Shidan, Zhang Juzheng and others were reviewing the past and learning the new. Who would have thought that Emperor Jiajing would arrange for people to be appointed as a lecturer in the royal palace at this time?
