Chapter 171 Biting each other

Next, we need to reorganize and control Shanxi Town and Xuanfu Town. We will surely have enough field troops to launch an attack on Lin Danhan and Jiannu.

When Zhang Zongxian was still reorganizing troops in Datong and selling military land.

Young Eunuch Wei sent the governor and the general troops to Dongchang. After learning about this, Wei Zhongxian laughed three times and sighed that Zhang Zongxian was indeed here to protect the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately, he reported the incident to Tianqi, who was so angry that he threw the finished carpentry.

The governor used private money to reward the generals in the army, and the vassal king violated the regulations and used a five-clawed dragon robe. What is this? Do these civil servants want to change the emperor?

The commander-in-chief of Yanshou was thinking of rebelling, and now a governor is also thinking of rebelling. It seems that it is time to put the government in order.

Tianqi immediately ordered Wei Zhongxian to conduct a thorough investigation of the governor's accomplices, and also ordered that the Dai Wang family be stripped of their titles and salaries and escorted to the capital.

Under normal circumstances, if a governor wants to take office, he must go through court recommendation. He must be led by the Minister of Civil Affairs, and all the chief and deputy officials of the six departments, as well as the Yanguan and the bachelor will be present to make the selection.

If the governor is convicted of a serious crime of treason, the people who recommended him will not be able to escape, not only the people who recommended him, but also his classmates, colleagues, and colleagues.

They all had to go to the Dongchang. The Dongchang said that you can only be fine if you are fine. Under severe punishment, there will always be people who can't help but bite each other. Once the biting starts, it will be over.

What Wei Zhongxian wants is to bite, preferably by pointing at Donglin's cabinet. This time he will take advantage of this opportunity to capture Donglin in one fell swoop.

First, officials of the Sixth Department of the High School were elected. Those who were in office were sent directly to prison, and those who were not in office were arrested in Beijing. Then they were classmates, colleagues, and fellow officials.

Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, and Wang Wenyan were thrown into Zhenfusi Prison, and Wei Zhongxian pointed the finger at Ye Xianggao.

For a time, everyone in the court felt in danger that Wei Zhongxian would be thrown into jail. Officials, big and small, paid tribute to Wei Zhongxian one after another, and some officials were promoted because of this.

As a result, those who wanted to join forces with others flocked to Wei Zhongxian. Not only that, some officials directly worshiped Wei Zhongxian as their godfather in order to be promoted. The Five Tigers of the Eunuch Party in the previous life also began to emerge.

After Young Eunuch Wei returned to Datong with the imperial edict, he was not allowed to rest. He immediately raided Prince Dai's Mansion and captured everyone from Prince Dai's Mansion to the capital. At this time, Zhang Zongxian also completed the inventory of the military fields in Datong Town.

He took out 500,000 taels of silver from the sale of the land and gave it to Eunuch Wei. In turn, Eunuch Wei seized the millions of silver from the palace, 5 million acres of fertile land, 300,000 dan of grain, and antique jades.

Calligraphy and painting are even more priceless.

Zhang Zongxian gave the seized grain 30,000 taels to Xiao Wei Eunuch and his companions, but did not report the grain to Prince Dai. As for the fields owned by Prince Dai, Zhang Zongxian petitioned Tianqi to sell these fields to the people.

In the end, Little Eunuch Wei was taken away from Datong, and nearly two million taels of property went to Tianqi to report his merits. Although it was not enough to build the Crystal Palace, there was still one million taels short, but Wei Zhongxian must be able to collect it for Tianqi soon.

together.

Compared with the bloodshed in the capital, transactions are booming in Datong. Whether it is Datong's bureaucrats or generals, if they want to escape from a major treason case, they have to spend all their wealth.

There were also those who wanted money, but they were all taken away by the Jin Yiwei, and all the nine clans were implicated, their homes were confiscated, and they were waiting to be executed.

The entire town of Datong had drank soldiers' blood and embezzled military expenditures for more than two hundred years. All the money they had accumulated went into Zhang Zongxian's pocket at once. Even if they paid the money, they were all dismissed from office. These side generals could never make trouble again.

In the end, Zhang Zongxian obtained one-third of the land in Datong Town and half of the houses in Datong City, with more than 5 million taels of silver and 600,000 shi of grain.

It made Zhang Zongxian wonder whether he had been a little too tolerant towards the three sides of Shaanxi in the past. Datong Town had made so much wealth. If Datong Town had made a fortune like Datong Town, there would have been no need to worry about the money for railway construction.

In the end, Tianqi did not agree to sell the land seized by King Dai to the common people, but instead took it back to the inner court and turned it into an imperial village.

After completing the inspection of the military fields in Datong Town, Zhang Zongxian led Biaoying to Yanmen Pass. At this moment, the former commander-in-chief of Piantou Pass Town, the governor, had resigned from the court after his colleagues made the news, and now only the guarding eunuch was present.

It is said that the commander-in-chief and the governor of Xuanfu also wanted to resign. They were all frightened by Zhang Zongxian's methods. It was as if Zhang Zongxian was the governor's nemesis, and the governors who fought against him never ended well.

The soldiers, officials, and gentry in Piantouguan Town all cooperated very well with Zhang Zongxian's inspection of the military land. Not only did they quickly hand over the money to buy the military land, they also handed over a lot of extra money. It was originally just an occupation.

He had acquired 200 acres of military land and had to hand over 500 acres of money.

Then when arranging the troops, the generals did not dare to cheat, and honestly took the existing troops to undergo the inspection. Even after the inspection was completed, most of them were dismissed by Zhang Zongxian and they did not dare to say a word.

Since they were so cooperative with Zhang Zongxian, they did not make things difficult for them. They just reduced the existing troops in Piantou Pass Town to 20,000 people, moved most of the military households to the land outside Piantou Pass, and established Qingshui City there.

So far, from Wuhai to Bayannaoer in the previous life, then to Baotou and then to Jining, all the fields suitable for farming in this land have been relocated by the Han people, and within a year or two this place will be completely controlled by the Han people.

Zhang Zongxian also obtained 1.5 million taels of silver and 400,000 shi of grain from Piantouguan Town. After escorting 500,000 taels of them to the capital, all the remaining silver taels were returned to the Taiping.

Taiping's grain store and bank also took this opportunity to penetrate into the two towns. Zhang Zongxian's reputation made Taiping branch no one dare to cause trouble for him everywhere.

The gentry in the two towns competed to be partners of Taiping Hao and semi-colon, and the Jinshi and Juren who were idle at home wanted to join Zhang Zongxian. The prefect and officials at the same magistrate level also extended an olive branch to Zhang Zongxian.

After an in-depth investigation, Zhang Zongxian selected some inner disciples to marry him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a daughter. As long as he is from the nine clans, a daughter from a brother's family is fine.

Then the father-in-laws of the disciples of these schools were promoted to various important positions in the military towns, and then disciples were sent to be their deputies. Although they were deputies, they actually held actual power.

Zhang Zongxian also used this to expand the school's enrollment, recruiting the sons or nephews of these people into the school, and continuing to cultivate reserve forces.

The academy in Shafang City that can accommodate 10,000 people has been built. Although Zhang Zongxian cannot stay in the academy all the time to educate his disciples, the academy has formed a complete teaching mechanism.

The textbooks used were all compiled by Zhang Zongxian himself, especially in the areas of history, ideological and political studies, and the areas of personal worship that captured the essence of previous lives.

There are now no less than ten thousand disciples of the school, including the outer and inner disciples, most of whom are in the legislative army, and the special training classes for officers have never stopped.

These disciples of the Legislative School are Zhang Zongxian’s ultimate force in revolutionizing the Ming Dynasty in the future.
