Chapter 130 Entering Nanjing
Chapter 130
The reason for the Nanjing Mutiny is complicated. On the surface, it is a chain reaction caused by Zhou Mengchen's layoff of the troops in Jiangnan. It makes the camps in Nanjing panic, or because some people in the Yan Party are fanning the flames.
However, from the perspective of various departments, it is still because of the nobles in Nanjing.
Zhou Mengchen also knew that the Nanjing camps had always had the problem of withholding money. The silver he sent from him was only two or three out of ten, but he could barely survive.
It is precisely because of this foundation and this kind of grudge that the last bit of the situation has emerged.
For the people in Nanjing, what is the best solution?
It is to go back to the past, to the original situation, to continue drinking blood from soldiers, to continue singing and dancing, as if nothing had happened.
As for whether the Nanjing Jingying can be fought, it is useless to these nobles. You must know that the Nanjing Jingying originally had land, but it was Nanjing Jingwei. Because the garrison collapsed, there was a camp system. In this way, these soldiers valued the money so much.
The whereabouts of treatment along the way. Naturally, the combat effectiveness has also declined all the way.
However, these are meaningless to the Nanjing nobles. Covering up and suppressing things like mutiny, there is no need to investigate the truth.
Zhou Mengchen would not have been accustomed to them and asked, "Since the mutiny, why have the troops in Jiangnan been mobilized to Nanjing?"
Zhou Mengchen knew very well that the new army garrison he had compiled, the nearest battalion was in Zhenjiang. It didn't take much time to get from Zhenjiang to Nanjing.
Li Sui said: "Xiaguan thought about this problem, but the riots were like frightened birds, and the new army did not enter Nanjing. It can still be controlled, but the new army entered Nanjing. Xiaguan was worried that Nanjing was in danger of being burned by war and both jade and stones. How to explain to the court at that time?"
Zhou Mengchen said: "I understand your intention to be afraid of being a mouse. Just the chaos army often threatens the court. Is this Nanjing city still the Nanjing city of the court?"
Li Sui said: "Sir, most of the soldiers are entangled, and the law does not punish the masses. Moreover, the officials have promised that they will not care about the rest."
Zhou Mengchen said: "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to replace the court and want to agree to them?"
Li Sui was furious and said in a verdict: "The situation was in a crisis at that time, and the officials had to do it. If the adults think that the officials did something wrong, please cut my head. However, the officials' promises will not be abolished."
Li Sui felt that Zhou Mengchen was too arrogant.
Didn't he know what kind of scene it would be like to fight a war in Nanjing? And Li Sui bet on his personal credit. Li Sui decided not to let him break his trust. When he even thought of this, he had a red ear and a thick neck.
Zhou Mengchen said: "Yes, what did you promise them? I don't think it would be that you would let go of Gaoshan and more than a dozen people you mentioned?"
Li Sui said: "Of course not. Where is the majesty of the court and the country?"
Zhou Mengchen said: "A mere dozen people can maintain the majesty of the court. You can stay here and see what I do."
"Sir, never." Li Sui stepped forward and said.
Zhou Mengchen said, "Send out the guests." Zhou Mengchen gave Xu Wei a color.
Xu Wei immediately understood and several guards invited Li Sui to take him down with a little bit of house arrest.
Zhou Mengchen said: "It was passed on to Yu Dayou. Let him transport the Zhejiang army through five battalions."
"Yes." Xu Wei said.
It took more than ten days in a flash, at night.
On the dock outside Nanjing, countless lights lighted up and countless large ships docked one by one. Qi Jiguang took one step away and then took most of the infantry into the darkness. It took time for a large group of people to disembark. Just like this, the boats came and went, and tens of thousands of troops entered Nanjing.
It has to be said that Nanjing City has been peaceful for too long, and the quality of Nanjing defenders is also too poor. Especially in the mutiny, it simply disintegrated the last little combat effectiveness of the various battalions in Nanjing.
It was not Zhou Mengchen who discriminated against them. The nominal supreme commander in Nanjing was the Minister of War in Nanjing. In fact, the person who directly controlled the army was the general of Nanjing, Duke of Wei. Duke of Wei was pulled out by the rebels and beat him hard on the head.
In this way, where is the prestige of Duke of Wei?
How could he control the battalions below?
In addition, each department of the operation had a warrant signed by Zhou Mengchen. He had never prepared a large army to attack. Therefore, in the sneak attack carefully planned by Zhou Mengchen, there was no time to react.
The king flag has changed on the city.
This is also the reason why Zhou Mengchen chose Yu Dayou's troops. Because the movement was too great when marched by land. Only by passing by water was the least alarming.
Early the next morning, many people woke up from their sleep, but found that Nanjing City was no longer under their control.
Just when everyone was panicked, Zhou Mengchen's order arrived.
He asked all the ministers in Nanjing to visit Zhou Mengchen at the Nanjing Ministry of War.
Zhou Mengchen saw people from all walks of life coming over in the lobby of the Ministry of War.
For the civil servants, Zhang Ao, the Minister of Revenue.
Zhou Mengchen just nodded.
He was very dissatisfied with the officials in Nanjing. As we all know, most of the officials in Nanjing do not have real power. In fact, there are officials with real power, and there are also Ministry of War and Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of War nominally controls all the troops in the south. Although there is no army to fight in the south, the elite troops in the southern Jingying camp were all consumed almost during the Zhengtong period. But the airs were still there.
The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of all prefectures and counties in Nanzhili, that is, the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue, which is the governing secretary of Nanzhili.
As for other ministers, there are even fewer things. The Ministry of Justice has some case files, and the Ministry of Rites has a Xiaoling Mausoleum. The Ministry of Works has only a few workshops.
They are all elderly care positions.
Just take care of the elderly. It is useless to let a mere minister come out to solve the problem. In Zhou Mengchen's view, they are all a bunch of waste.
So Zhou Mengchen did not have any involvement with these elderly people. Moreover, Zhou Mengchen might not be able to do anything to them. Although they are incompetent, they are high-ranking officials? They are almost on par with Zhou Mengchen, and Zhou Mengchen has no power to deal with them.
Zhou Mengchen could only let them go.
Zhou Mengchen looked at the lords in front of him. Among these lords were Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, and Liu Shiyan.
I have an impression of these two people, Zhou Mengchen.
Xu Pengju has a very famous name. His name has its origin. It is said that Xu Pengju's mother dreamed of Yue Fei and said that he died when he shouted for justice. The Emperor of Heaven pity him. He let him reincarnate himself in the Xu family and enjoy decades of wealth. There is even one thing, saying that Xu Pengju expanded the garden and dug an ancient tomb from the Song Dynasty.
No one dared to dig, so Xu Pengju wanted to dig.
Finally, it was Qin Hui's tomb, and then it burned Qin Hui's body to death. It was considered to have avenged Yue Fei.
However, this Pengju brother did not inherit Yue Fei's wise and magical martial arts. Otherwise, he would not have been beaten by the military with a stick in this mutiny, and he was embarrassed. He got a new nickname: Duke of the Immortality.
Liu Shiyan is a little better than Xu Pengju. This is to talk about the Liu family’s family background.
The Duke of the Xu family was passed down all the way. However, although the Liu family was descended from Liu Bowen, his title had long been implicated and suppressed in the three major cases in the early Ming Dynasty and lost the title. It was Emperor Hongzhi who gave the title again to the Liu family.
Liu Shiyan's grandfather was the lucky one selected by Emperor Hongzhi. Liu Shiyan's father died before he inherited the title, and Liu Shiyan inherited the title. Because of this, the Liu family is also a nouveau riche. He is worried.
I dare not say that the Liu family's ability is much stronger than other people. This kind of worry alone makes the Liu family do their best to serve the court. If there is something wrong, it will come forward.
This mutiny was that Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, was the garrison of Nanjing and the immediate superior of these rebellious soldiers. They all went to the Xu family. However, Chengyi Bo did not have this position, and there were other nobles in Nanjing. Why were they not involved? Only the Chengyi Bo family was involved? This is because Liu Yanshi, the father of Chengyi, took the initiative to participate. Of course, his heart is commendable, but his ability is limited. He was beaten up with Duke of Wei, which did not play any role.
