Chapter 487
The story starts with the last time the Japanese pirates invaded Nanjing. Although there were secret help from the sea merchants, the military was slack and vulnerable, which is an indisputable fact. (The best experience of reading novels is available in [Novels])
Zhang Liang, the Minister of the Southern War, asked to recruit athletes, train elite soldiers, and resist Japanese pirates. In a rage, Jiajing naturally agreed. Zhang Liang was ordered to recruit more than 13,000 people and named Zhenwu Camp. Due to his excellent training, he actually won several battles, which showed Zhang Liang a big face.
The Zhenwu Camp was able to win battles mainly due to two points. The first is that Zhang Liang was honest and never deducted military pay. The soldiers below got enough.
Besides, Zhang Yang dared to hire people, so he invited general Liu Xian to help him train his troops. Liu Xian is also a famous general in the southeast, second only to Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou. He has good martial arts skills and fierce military training. Zhenwu Camp quickly achieved results. Zhang Yang was very relieved. He was excited and did something beyond everyone's expectations.
Zhang Liang and Liu Xian got married, his illegitimate daughter, and betrothed to Liu Xian's two-year-old son Liu Xian.
The civil servants and nobles are inferior to the military, and both sides are not in the same circle at all. Tang Yi and the military generals are brothers. In the eyes of civil officials, that is a very shameful thing. Fortunately, he is too young and humble, so others can't say anything.
Like Zhang Liang, who is a very experienced and has a masterpiece, and has almost become a civil servant, but he has married a martial artist. It is simply incredible. If you are not polite, you are called Zi Gan** and don’t know how to do it.
There is never a shortage of people in this world who are good at association. They believe that Zhang Liang and Liu Xian got married, and they had other intentions. In addition, Zhang Liang was generous and strict in treating officers and soldiers. Liu Xian was famous for not paying attention to military discipline. He always believed that those who were in the army should rush around and be honest, and what kind of combat effectiveness could they have?
With such two commanders, you can imagine the virtues of Zhenwuying. They relied on winning several battles and became more and more crazy. They fought, bullied the market, and extorted the market. In short, there were no major problems, but they had many minor mistakes.
Those who are interested will get up, saying that Zhang Yang regards Zhenwu camp as a private soldier, being domineering and arrogant. He also said that he married Liu Xian. He wanted to win over the military man and act as a front pawn. He had ulterior motives and wanted to conspire to rebel...
After listening to the story, Tang Yi felt more and more impossible. The military power in the southeast was still in the hands of Hu Zongxian. If a martial arts camp was in the hands of the Zhenwu camp, even the governor of Su Song, Yang Jisheng, could not even be defeated, so why would he talk about rebellion?
But not everyone in the world is as wise as Tang Yi, and making friends with civil and military has always been a taboo in the court.
If others don’t say it, the chief minister Xia Yan and the three-sided governor Zeng Xian, two bloody heads, are not far from the past, and even those who know the inside story dare not speak for Zhang Liang casually.
Tang Yi suddenly had the urge to curse, Jiajing is so weird!
I will work hard to open the sea for you. Most of the money I earn will be used to practice immortality for you. It would be fine if you don’t appreciate it, but I will transfer me away and I will accept it. But you can’t push me into the fire pit!
Isn’t this a cheating father?
"Eunuch Shi, Zhang Liang is a senior official of the ministry with a deep experience. I am wrong, and I am really powerless. I should pay tribute to the sea god as soon as possible. Returning to Hangzhou is the real thing."
"No!"
Eunuch Shi was so anxious that he grabbed Tang Yi's sleeve.
"Mr. Tang, you can't leave. Because of our previous friendship, you have to help me no matter what!"
I have no friendship with you, I only owe you love, you owe my money!
Tang Yi complained in his heart, "Eunuch Shi, I can't understand whether Zhang Liang is dead or alive, what does it have to do with you?"
"Oh, my Lord Tang, in Nanjing, there are only three people who have the final say, including the Minister of War Zhang Yang, the garrison Xu Pengju, and the eunuch He Yan. This time, Zhang Yang was secretly impeached, and the crime was He Yan."
Seeing that Tang Yi was still confused, Eunuch Shi stomped his feet, "I just said clearly that He Yan's godfather is Eunuch Yuan Heng and Yuan, and it is not the same as our family. Let him drive Zhang Liang away, and the next step is our weaving bureau. No matter what, He Yan cannot be successful... This is also what Eunuch Huang means!"
I understand, finally I understand!
Tang Yi wanted to curse even more, but this time he cursed Huang Jin.
In the past or two years, Tang Yi, in addition to doing serious business, he became famous as a boy named Shancai.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved by one silver note. If there are, just two!
In addition to those mortal enemies, Tang Yi spent a lot of money. Even Yan Song and Yan Shifan had never shortage of Bing Jing and Tan Jing, and they were the largest among all local officials.
As for the palace, Tang Yi grabbed Mai Fu and Huang Jin on the one hand, and actively repaired the conflict with Yuan Heng on the other hand. He was in harmony with others, and Tang Yi was not offended by anyone. But now, he was pushed into a whirlpool in a confused manner. Don’t mention the regret.
"Eunuch Shi, I'm a little dizzy. I seem to faint!"
"Don't!" Eunuch Shi cried. My senior brother Huang Jin also said that Tang Yi was kind-hearted and had unparalleled wisdom. As long as he was brought to Nanjing, everything would be successful.
Now he understood that Tang Yi was just an old fried dough stick, a live loach, and he was slim.
"Mr. Tang, no matter what, you have to help. Or, our family will kneel down for you..." As he said that, Eunuch Shi's knees softened and he knelt down to the ground.
It’s really worthy of being Huang Jin’s junior brother, it’s all this routine!
Tang Yi was speechless, and the eunuch was a little sensible. If he refuted his face, this guy might not have ruined himself in the future!
"Eunuch Shi, get up first." Tang Yi pulled him up, "I said, Eunuch Shi, I don't know anything else, just ask me to help me, what should I do?"
"Look at me, this is so confused!" Eunuch Shi took out a secret order from his cuff and sent it to Tang Yi.
"This is a secret order issued by the emperor to me, asking me to investigate the situation in Zhenwu camp. I don't know how to understand military affairs? It's not just Lord Tang."
Tang Yi took the secret order and looked carefully. He was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat!
"...I have been practicing simplicity for decades, cherishing the people's strength, treating the common people in the world as their people, and treating civil and military officials as their responsibilities. However, ministers and friends are competing with each other as traitors, and betraying their greed and betrayal, and not killing is not enough to comfort the heavens, and not killing is not enough to appease the hearts of the people..."
What does every word mean? From the imperial edict, Tang Yi read the hatred that came to his face. This situation is like dealing with Zhang Jing back then, Jiajing has sentenced Zhang Liang to death.
But after these years, Jiajing's methods became more and more clever. He did not directly send someone to capture Zhang Liang. All he was afraid was that he really caused a mutiny, causing panic, and gave Japanese pirates an opportunity to take advantage of.
He sent him over, mostly to take Zhang Liang down for peace and stability.
If Tang Yi has this ability, Jiajing does not doubt that a monster who can crush the big sea merchant surname and play Japanese pirates in the applause will not be a problem to deal with Zhang Yang. If things are not done well, it means that Tang Yi is not in a position to be in a state of mind. Huh, let’s see how I deal with you!
Tang Yi suddenly felt cold behind his back, and he felt like he was accidentally entering the bandit's nest. There were too many gods on his head and his mind was different. The one holding it in his hand was a blew up at some point.
It’s definitely not just the word “scam”!
Tang Yi closed his eyes and thought silently for a while. No one could listen to his words. He had to figure out the situation first and then make a decision.
"Eunuch Shi, I understand what you mean. Please rest assured. I know what to do."
Eunuch Shi wanted to say a few more words. Tang Yi had already picked up the tea bowl, so he had to retreat. Seeing that Eunuch Shi had walked away, Tang Yi carried his hands behind his back and forth a few times, and called Jindan and Sun Keyuan over.
"You go to the transportation bank's semicolon immediately, transfer the twenty best accounts for me, and immediately count the expense details of Zhenwuying over the years."
There are many charges for impeaching Zhang Yang, but the others are all stolen. If you want to inflict crimes, the only thing you can find out is whether there is a problem of greed for military pay.
It has to be said that Tang Yi has accumulated a lot of talents over the years. With the order, a large group of accountants have been investigating.
Their work efficiency was amazing. In less than ten days, most of them were sorted out. The soldiers in Zhenwu Camp who had a wife gave one stone of food and salary per month, while those without a wife gave six dou. In the middle of spring and February of the middle of autumn, they paid 5 cents of silver per stone. The military salary was not very generous, but it was also better than most local soldiers.
After careful calculation, 80% of the food and salary fell into the hands of the soldiers. This proportion is probably the highest among the southeast army, except for the township system. Zhang Liang is much more honest than most officials.
It’s just that whether you are greedy or not is not important. What’s important is what Jiajing thinks!
Tang Yi has long been over the age of being proactive in being passionate. Before he can see the situation clearly, he will never do anything easily. Just check it slowly!
On that day, Tang Yi rushed back to the inn from Confucius Temple. When he walked halfway, he suddenly rushed out of the street intersection next to him, with blood on his head and knocked down Tang Yi's sedan chair.
"Unforgivable, unforgivable!"
The man's voice was so loud that Tang Yi's ears hurt. The guards on both sides rushed up and stopped him.
The person who shouted for justice looked like a 40 or 50 years old, and looked like a little buyer with blood all over his body. "Sir, Lord, Imperial Envoy, please make the decision for the young man. My daughter died unjustly!"
Stopping the sedan chair and shouting for justice is an indispensable play on the stage. The people around him immediately became interested and all came up, putting their toes and stretching their necks to look at them.
In front of everyone, even if Tang Yi doesn't want to accept it, he still has to act. He can't be called a treacherous minister who cares about the lives and death of the people!
"Let him come here!"
Two personal guards took him over, Tang Yi lifted up the curtain of the sedan chair and asked softly: "What are you wronged? Just tell me."
"Thank you, Master Qingtian!" He kowtowed twice, his forehead getting red and swollen.
"Your Majesty, the little girl was stolen and forced to get married. Just yesterday, the little girl committed suicide in the bridal chamber. All of these blood stains belong to the little girl!"
The little old man cried bitterly, and held his head on the ground. Tang Yi frowned, "Who stole your daughter?"
"The master is Niu Erhu, he is the godson of the garrison eunuch He Yan, no one dares to touch him!" (To be continued.)
