Chapter 317 Playing with the Gentlemen
Paper wrapped fire.
Many powerful officials and gentry in the pass soon learned that Jue Changan, Takshi, Nurhachi and other Jianzhou left guard nobles were bloodbathed by the Li family in Liaodong, and even the scribes in the Li family's mansion in Liaodong were also bloodbathed.
"What did you say, Mr. Lan Yang and Mr. Qing He were killed by Ning Yuan Hou in the name of Tong Yi?"
Lu Guangzu, the left servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, learned about this from Feng Jinglong in Nanjing's Ministry of Rites at this time.
Feng Jinglong nodded with a sullen face: "There is also Jue Chang'an, the former commander of the Zuowei Commander of Jianzhou who was enslaved by his house, and he was also purged by his Li family!"
"Ning Yuanhou is really a loyal minister!"
Lu Guangzu forced a smile and said, but the Japanese fan in his hand was pinched more and more tightly by him.
"That's right, he is really loyal! It must be because His Majesty has no suspicion of him, so he did not hesitate to kill Duke Zhang for it."
Feng Jinglong said.
Lu Guangzu sneered: "Hello loyal minister!"
Snapped!
Lu Guangzu suddenly slapped the Japanese fan on the table, and said with a serious face: "It's just too loyal! In this way, the Jianzhou left guard and Jianzhou right guard are gone, and there is only one Jianzhou three guards left." Zhouwei, Liaodong's restructuring is easier!"
"You are right."
Feng Jinglong replied.
Lu Guangzu's face darkened, and said: "Marquis Ning Yuan is so bloodthirsty, he will be punished by heaven!"
Feng Jinglong nodded.
Lu Guangzu suddenly asked again: "Is there any news from Beijing?"
Feng Jinglong said: "Here we come, Liang Zhending (Liang Menglong) is in command."
Lu Guangzu didn't say anything after hearing this.
Feng Jinglong went on to say: "In addition, Wang Taicang has also gone south to inspect the maritime trade."
Lu Guangzu still didn't say anything.
Wang Xijue has indeed begun to go to Beijing to inspect the maritime trade by order.
And the first thing he was going to was Hao Jing.
He will work with the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi to solve the problem of Flangji people in Haojing, take back its autonomy, and determine how to establish a formal foreign trade and residence system in China in the future.
This is what Zhu Yijun specifically asked Wang Xijue to do.
If it weren't for the fact that the Frangji of Haojing, that is, the Portuguese, have now obtained the right of autonomy and residence in Macau through legal procedures, and are also paying taxes to the Ming court, and have set up camp step by step in a peaceful way. To seize Macau, Zhu Yijun had already ordered the army to encircle and suppress it.
However, in order to let Xiyi understand that honest and polite contact with the Ming court to discuss related matters would be more friendly to the Ming court than a brutal direct invasion, Zhu Yijun did not directly choose to use the army to directly drive them away violently.
of course.
Wang Xijue's inspection of maritime trade is only an internal affairs matter, but it has not attracted much attention.
On the other hand, the extermination of Burma in military affairs is going on vigorously.
And let more people pay attention.
……
Southern Capital.
Large ships and large granaries with 30 shi of grain and 20 shi of forage used for the conquest of Myanmar appeared on the river outside the city at this time.
And these big ships and granaries are also carrying lanterns from the Nanjing Ministry of War, and they are guarded by soldiers transferred from other places in Zhejiang, as if they are just to be transported to Zhejiang.
And Shiwei Wanli was in June of the 11th year.
Under the sun of fire.
The whole Nandu seemed to be scorched by a raging fire.
These big ships and granaries also seemed to be set on fire in the next moment.
The sergeants guarding the boat didn't even stand on the boat for a while, and they were soaked as if they had just come out of the river.
On the Qinhuai River, there are also people who shake their fans and eat magnolia jelly.
Lu Guangzu was also wearing only a white shirt in the shade of a private garden by the Qinhuai River, playing chess with Feng Jinglong, a member of the Nanjing Engineering Department, in order to pass the day.
As soon as Feng Jinglong played a game of chess, he asked Lu Guangzu: "A few days ago, Nanben soldier Yin She County (Yin Zhengmao) transported a lot of property back to his hometown. He must have intended to become an official. Do you think I should join him? "
Lu Guangzu said: "Your Majesty is more tolerant and considerate towards the veterans at present, so it is better to let go of your bluntness for the time being when giving advice!"
"He must have sold his official title! Otherwise, he wouldn't have served as Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing and transported so much money back to his hometown. If such corrupt officials don't expose their crimes, I'm sorry for serving the country!"
Feng Jinglong said.
Lu Guangzu said with a smile: "It's better to wait for the fire to break out, and then give God's will to speak."
Feng Jinglong nodded after hearing this: "Alright!"
At this time.
On the river outside the city, on the hot board, the Zhedi sergeant guarding the cabin had just taken out the scythe to boil the fish, when suddenly a fire burst out in his cabin, engulfing the entire grain ship in a short time.
"Nan Bing's food ship is in the water!"
Soon, someone spread the news to Qinhuai River.
Officials, gentry and even fans on the banks of the Qinhuai River set up their boats to wait and see. Suddenly, they saw thick smoke coming from the city, like a big cloud of black clouds.
"Sure enough!"
Feng Jinglong said to Lu Guangzu with a smile during the engineering teaching work here.
Lu Guangzu followed with a smile and said: "Someone should issue an order to burn the unloaded grain in the granary."
Feng Jinglong nodded, then pointed in the direction of the Sanshan Gate in Nandu: "Please look!"
Lu Guangzu looked over, and immediately saw a red firework rushing into the blue sky.
"Come on, let's go out by boat to see the fire!"
After speaking, Lu Guangzu and Feng Jinglong took a boat out of the city, and then came to a high place near the river outside the city, watching a large number of soldiers carrying guns and oil rush out of the houses outside the city, and rushed towards the granary past.
Among them, the soldiers holding the guns fired directly at the Zhejiang soldiers guarding the granary, killed the Zhejiang soldiers guarding the gate of the granary on the spot, and rushed over.
At the same time, the soldiers carrying the fire oil also rushed in and began to pour fire oil on the granary, obviously intending to set fire to the granary before a large number of Zhejiang soldiers arrived.
"Wait until these grain boats and granaries are burned to ashes, and see how they continue to destroy Burma."
Lu Guangzu looked at this scene and said with a smile.
"When the time comes, I will go to Shu and say, this is fire from heaven! It is a warning from heaven, and the large-scale conquest of Burma should be stopped!"
Feng Jinglong said.
Lu Guangzu said at this time: "These Japanese people must be cleaned up after they are burnt out!"
"Do not worry."
"Our people have been prepared a long time ago, and we promise to wipe out all of them before the inspection department and Zhejiang soldiers arrive."
Feng Jinglong said.
But at this time, Lu Guangzu saw a large number of Zhejiang soldiers suddenly appearing in the granary, and the archers among these Zhejiang soldiers were obviously ready, and when the Japanese rushed in, they counterattacked.
Because the Japanese were outnumbered, many were captured.
Lu Guangzu's face darkened.
"There is no grain in the granary!"
"It's actually a human!"
Feng Jinglong also said to Lu Guangzu in surprise at this time.
At this time, Lu Guangzu also looked at the grain boats by the river, and suddenly saw that when the boat was burned and turned over, it poured out a lot of sand!
Lu Guangzu's face became more and more ugly, and he asked Feng Jinglong after a while, "You said just now that Yinshe County transported a large amount of property back to the hometown a few days ago?"
"That's right!"
"According to people I know, his Yin family has recruited tens of thousands of civilian husbands, and hired thousands of civilian ships. The boxes containing goods are all very large, and these large boxes are inspected before boarding the ship. Keep an eye on it once, and according to the man who carried it, it’s full of silver!”
Feng Jinglong said.
"It's hit!"
"There must be silver on the top of the box, and grain on the bottom!"
"And he didn't plan to use the official ship to transport food, but used the freight as the cost of temporarily hiring civilian husbands and civilian ships!"
"In this way, it can also save transportation consumption. After all, there are many landless and propertyless people in the south of the Yangtze River, and the cost must be less than that of the water transport officers and troops who need to pay enough money to transport food hard!"
