Chapter 27: Beijing Camp is here

Wang Shu is not unable to compromise.

After all, Wang Shu knew very well that he could not kill all the gentry in Jiangnan, which was unrealistic.

To a certain extent, the gentry in Jiangnan was not the enemy of the court, but one of the supporting forces of the court and one of the foundations of the court.

Now the struggle between each other is just a matter of distribution of interests.

The gentry in Jiangnan did not have the determination to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish a new dynasty.

Fighting without breaking is what both sides pursue.

But Wang Shu decided not to compromise under such circumstances.

First of all, it is an insult to Wang Shu's personality.

Is Wang Shu the kind of person who admits defeat after being slapped? If Wang Shu admits defeat like this, what he gets is far less than what he loses.

And what is politics?

It's a arena.

The chief minister Zhu Qizhen faced each had his own characteristics and was all top talents of the Ming Dynasty.

It is not that the officials of the Ming Dynasty all have this level, but that they must have this level in order to stand out from the many battles.

Wang Shu was in a high position at a young age, so how could he have no idea about the chair of the chief assistant?

Wang Shu has been upright in his nature, not afraid of the powerful, and not afraid of the powerful. He has supported and admired many Ming officials. He has made his reputation among Qingliu.

Wang Shu compromised with the gentry of Jiangnan today, which was that he slapped himself in the face and denied everything about him before. Naturally, he was disappointed.

No one supports it, no stable basic structure and team.

It may not be possible to enter the cabinet, let alone the cabinet chief minister.

Yes, the holy family is very important, but if you want to gain a foothold in the cabinet, the holy family alone is absolutely not good.

Secondly, Wang Shu had a deep understanding of human nature.

At this moment, he could compromise if he wanted to compromise.

But the other party may not be there.

Moreover, this does not conform to his political views.

He was an imperial envoy and represented the emperor.

Although the Ming court is not always talking about the superiority and inferiority, it is the underlying logic of the operation of the Ming court. How dare the gentry in Jiangsu do this today?

How did the court command the world?

Even if Wang Shu is crushed to pieces, this precedent cannot be opened.

Therefore, his words to Chen Yue were both true and false.

He didn't want to see the second time, nor did he want to see Jiangnan go in chaos anymore. But he didn't say that all this was achieved by compromising with the gentry of Jiangnan.

However, it is a delaying strategy.

At this moment, Chen Yue was drinking with Lu Lin.

Chen Yue said: "Brother Lu, there are some things that need to be decided until the time comes. It is not easy to deal with if the court really pursues the matter."

Lu Lin smiled softly and said, "It's okay, I know there is a sense of proportion. As long as Wang Shu talks about proportion, what's wrong with it? Only when you talk about it, what can't be solved?"

In fact, Lu Lin was under not light pressure in the fire yesterday. Although Lu Lin represented the great gentry in Jiangnan, these people may not be willing to confront the Ming court so fiercely.

Although the various grievances and hatreds between the gentry in Jiangnan and the court can be discussed for three days and three nights, and even from the Taizu Dynasty.

The gentry in Jiangnan had a grudge in their hearts.

This kind of grudge was even passed down to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In the late Ming Dynasty, if you read the articles of many famous scholars in Jiangnan carefully, you will find that most of the time, the gentry in Jiangnan actually lacked loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

Many of Feijun's articles were written by famous scholars of Jiangnan.

But many times, most people just complain, and they really don’t want to fight the court.

Lu Lin volunteered to stand up for everyone, so everyone was naturally willing. But he wanted to hold everyone to fight the court with all his might, but he respected Xie Bumin.

In fact, Lu Lin was a little anxious at that time.

To be honest, the Shaofu’s massive entry was something Lu Lin did not expect.

It forced him to take a risk, but he didn't want Wang Shu to bow his head. It seemed like a clever move at this moment.

Chen Yue said: "What is your idea? You can talk about it. As for exempting commercial tax, you don't even think about it. This is impossible. You have to let the imperial envoy go back to pay the office, right?"

Lu Lin said: "That's natural. First of all, the first point is that the cotton cloth tax is halved, and the goods overseas have already paid tariffs, so there is no need to be taxed."

"Secondly, all kinds of silks have been dealt with by the court, so there shouldn't be any changes."

Among the dozens of monopoly, some have little impact on Jiangnan, such as sugar and horses.

After the development of Foshan's iron industry, a large number of cheap iron tools entered all over Guangdong. The sugar production in Guangdong and Guangxi increased greatly, and the pain was the gentry of Guangdong and Guangxi.

As for horses?

Today, there are many horse lands in the Ming Dynasty, including northern Mori, southern Mori, western regions, Qinghai, and northeastern horses, and taxes are increased. It is not just commercial taxes. After all, horses are on the grasslands and are important property of herders.

Lu Lin didn't care about these things at all.

But the most important thing in Jiangnan clothing and quilts is the textile industry.

The cotton cloth industry is emerging and is more controlled by merchants mainly Xu Chunshen, but various silks are different, and more controlled by some large families.

Therefore, Lu Lin made some concessions on the cotton cloth.

But I don't give in to the silk.

Even the conditions he has put forward now are not the final conditions, so he naturally leaves some room for Wang Shu to bargain.

Chen Yue naturally brought his conditions back.

Since Wang Shu was intentionally delaying the time, he picked a few points and returned them. Wang Shu was unwilling to talk to Lu Lin in person. Chen Yue could only be a errand in it.

Just a few days in a hurry.

Suddenly, he came to see Wang Shu alone. But he was Mao Rui's son, Mao Jiang.

All the names of Mao Rui's generation were next to the golden characters, and his son's generation had three points of water. Although martial arts was prosperous, the old rules of the past remained, so Mao Jiang was also in the army under his father's command, but now he is only one thousand households.

Wang Shu had met Mao Jiang in Nanjing.

Although the Ming Dynasty court had two clear lines between nobles and civil officials.

But it is not that there is no intertwining, which is impossible. Mao Rui took his son to meet Wang Shu because he was optimistic about Wang Shu's future and accumulated some connections for his son.

Mao Jiang immediately saluted when he saw Wang Shu. Wang Shu also helped Mao Jiang up and said, "Is it good to have Ling Zun?"

Mao Jiang said respectfully: "My father is safe. He has brought the third battalion of troops and horses, and has come along with water and land. He is expected to enter Suzhou City tonight. Please arrange the camping place."

Wang Shu said: "I didn't expect that Nanning Bo would come in person."

Mao Jiang said: "My decree is in accordance with Your Majesty's will, how dare my father be negligent?"

Wang Shu said, "Okay, I'll send an order to let the people below make room for the army. Just listen to me for a while."

Mao Jiang said: "Yes."

After all, Wang Shu could not directly command the army, and he did not want to directly command the army. Although he allowed the army to enter Suzhou City, the people and gentry in Suzhou City were good at it.

They are all from the Ming Dynasty.

I'm afraid it will take a sea of ​​blood to deal with them with the Beijing Camp.

But Wang Shu had no choice but to do it.

Because of Lu Lin's stupidity.

What is the greatest capital of the gentry in Jiangnan? Is it military strength? Is it combat power?

It is true that among the prefectures and counties centered on Suzhou City, the Ming Dynasty lacked garrisons. If these families attacked in unison, the flag at the Suzhou City could change overnight.

But so what?

The reason why the Ming Dynasty did not garrison troops in Suzhou was that Suzhou did not need it, not that it did not.

If Lu Lin had the influence of the gentry in Jiangnan and fought with Wang Shu, Wang Shu would not be able to be a good soldier. Moreover, in such a struggle, Wang Shu was a guest soldier, while Lu Lin had the home advantage.

However, Lu Lin insisted on using the outside move.

This is why Wang Shu was given the reason to move troops.

Wang Shu ordered several places to be freed up in Suzhou City for the army to station.

Then he called Zhang Li again to inquire about the progress of the case.

Zhang Li explained the case in detail.

What kind of topographic map of the warehouse, the frequency of patrols and personnel around the warehouse, and even a few dogs are raised around the warehouse, what traces are left by the thief, and where the thief came from.

And judge what thieves have.

Then, among the various abilities of the three religions and other abilities in Suzhou, he listed one by one and explained his work in the past few days.

Everyone Zhang Li met one by one. It can be said that he touched all the underworlds underground in Suzhou Prefecture.
