eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 529 Undercurrent
In the second year of Zhengde, due to the success of the reconciliation and the advancement of the defense line, the trilateral governor established in Guyuan Mansion was no longer necessary, and then it was completely abolished with Yang Yiqing's entry into Beijing.

Then the three towns of Gansu, Ningxia and Yansui became independent towns.

At the beginning of the third year of Zhengde, the imperial court began the strategy of stationing troops in Hetao after various preparations.

Yulin Town and Ningxia Town, which are located behind the Hetao, are beginning to be affected.

Yulin town was completely behind the newly established Jiuyuan town, and Ningxia town was flanked by Shuofang town, so the military importance of these two places began to decline during this short historical period.

Ningxia itself is within Xitao, and the influence is relatively small. Whether Yulin Town needs to exist or not has begun to be discussed.

However, although Ningxia Town was less affected than Yulin, the nearly [-] soldiers and horses originally deployed here, including Ningxia Wei, Ningxia Zhongwei, Ningxia Defender, Ningxia Qianwei, and Ningxia Left and Right Zhongtunwei, also faced the risk of being abolished.

Originally, there were more than 5 registered frontier troops like Ningxia Town, but in fact half of them didn't know if there were any.

Empty pay, occupying military land, pointing at this group of people, what can they do?

Speaking of rebellion, Jiang Han and Yang Ying never thought about it. Gansu Town and Hetao military area are strong enemies. Could it be that they imagined that the Ningxia Wei and Zhongwei troops would defeat those two elite soldiers?

After thinking about it, they have no other good solution, except... to sell He Jinyi, the commander of the Ningxia Guard.

This general meaning gradually emerged in the minds of the two, but there was one thing to understand first.

Jiang Han asked his subordinates who came back to report the news: "What is the background of this Shaanxi Daoist censor?"

"Returning to Zongbing Jiang, this person's surname is Zhang, his first name is Cong, and his style name is Bingyong. He is a native of Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province. He was a Jinshi of Bingyin Division in the first year of Zhengde. "

"It has been promoted to three levels in a row, but which important minister in the court recommends it?"

"Recommended by the Minister of War."

Jiang Han frowned, "That's Old Yang Ge's man."

"Mr. Yang Ge wants to investigate the army?" Yang Ying was a little disbelieving, "Mr. Yang Ge has been in Shaanxi for eight years, and the governor has been on the sidelines for four years. I have never seen him have such intentions."

"How could it be Elder Yang Ge?" Jiang Han shook his head, "Cleaning up the pastures and military settlements is such a big deal, who are you today? How could Elder Yang Ge do such things without passing His Majesty's approval? Without an imperial decree, who dares to do it himself? claim?"

"This subordinate thinks that it can be clarified just by asking Eunuch Li about this matter."

The man said that Li Gonggong, named Li Zeng, was the eunuch guarding Ningxia.

The guarding eunuch is a person in the palace. If it is said that he occupies the land, he also occupies it, and the guarding eunuch's mansion occupies more than them.

But Mr. Yang Ge couldn't give orders to the head of the guarding the eunuch's mansion. As long as Eunuch Li made any movement, it must be the emperor's intention.

But Jiang Han made a final decision, "You don't need to ask, this matter is [-]% the emperor's intention. Do you still need to ask?"

Yang Ying thumped the table in frustration, "Brothers are born to die..."

In this situation, you can only beat the table.

The imperial envoy came here with an imperial decree, asking you to withdraw the land, will you withdraw or not?

Don't say that taking people's money is like killing your parents. Even if an imperial decree comes to kill you, you can fight it?

Do what you don't like, and you can rebel, boy, you can be the emperor.

"Shut up!" Jiang Han gave him a shock. If such rebellious words were spread, it would hurt the entire family.

"Now we won't hurt the whole family? When we fight for the country, we have always been stationed wherever we are. They say that the frontier army is weak, but the salary of the frontier army is far less than that of the elites, and their combat power is not as good as others. It is also a matter of course. The salary itself is low, and now, now we have to return the land! Which of the thousands or hundreds of households in Ningxia Town will not complain? And according to the emperor's usual style, maybe we will all keep Can't die."

Generally speaking, if a major event is committed in the hands of Emperor Zhengde, it will indeed not end well.

However, Jiang Han has another view, "It stands to reason that this is a major event. If His Majesty wanted to take all of our heads, he would not just send a Shaanxi censor to supervise. The imperial decree only said to clean up, never Talk about arresting people. As a censor, he wants to arrest the general soldier of Ningxia? The emperor would not do such a thing.

Moreover, if all the generals occupying the land are to be killed, six out of ten of the hundreds of guards on the nine sides will die. To do such a thing rashly, I don't think it is like the emperor. "

"Then what does Jiang Zongbing think His Majesty is thinking?"

"First the ceremony and then the soldiers. A Shaanxi supervisory censor will come first. Those who are willing to retire will not be held accountable. Those who are unwilling to retire will be punished according to the law. Combining comfort and punishment, this is the method used today."

Yang Ying didn't really believe it, "These are just Zhu Zongbing's guesses. Just in case, isn't it?"

Jiang Han fell silent.What if not...

If it wasn't, it would be a head drop.

bet your life
No small matter.

"Distribute all the fields." Jiang Han emphasized, "Distribute them to soldiers without land. Secretly."

"Why secretly?"

"Not secretly, if you do this all the time, isn't it the same as not doing it? At that time, no one will be able to find out who comes from Beijing, and there will be no problems in the whole Ningxia Town. Is this possible? So we secretly divided the fields and let the imperial envoys Go check He Jinyi.

Find a way to give him some more benefits.In this way, we can save our lives, and he can easily deal with business. Qingtian in Ningxia has improved, and the court is satisfied. "

"The field that was allocated?"

"At this time, are you still thinking about Tian? Didn't you still feel that your life was in danger just now?" Jiang Han shook his head helplessly, don't be so greedy, "It doesn't matter if you come to Beijing to have a censor or a elder, as long as we If we don’t take up the land, the fire won’t be able to burn our heads. As for the fields you mentioned, they will grow in the future. If you keep the green hills, you won’t be afraid that there will be no firewood. Put your head in now, what do you want the fields for?”

On the other hand, He Jinyi, commander of the Ningxia Guard, also began to hear some rumors.

The imperial court wants to clear the fields, how can this be possible.

In fact, Jiang Han, the commander-in-chief, and Yang Ying, the deputy commander-in-chief, were all transferred to Ningxia halfway, far less than his time here.

In terms of the size of the land, he has 25 hectares, or [-] mu of land!

Faced with this kind of investigation method, his strategy is not complicated,
Shredding the letter paper in his hand, he said to the servants beside him: "Go to each house and pass an order, just say that the master is invited tonight."

"Yes!"

The families he was talking about were not the thousands or hundreds of households under his control, but all the people who were related to him.

These fields are all scattered and put under the names of dozens of people. In this way, each family is divided into several thousand acres. The land in the northwest is barren. Such family property is nothing in Jiangnan, and it will not kill people.

In addition, he has sent people to check along the way. As soon as the imperial envoy enters Ningxia, he will flatter him and give gifts secretly.

He Jinyi's strategy is not only that,
He discussed with his subordinate Zhou Ang, "If the imperial court wants to clean up the military settlements, all the fields of thousands of households, hundreds of households, and general banners will be cleared little by little. Since ancient times, there has been no one who has done this. Head. If you go here to spread the word, not only Ningxia Wei, but also the generals and officials of Zhongwei, Qianwei and other guards will not benefit. The imperial court is going to put its hands in our pockets. When the time comes, ask the imperial envoy to take a look Outrage."

"Yes. In fact, the commander has forgotten one person. If it is said that Ningxia has truly occupied the pastures and military fields, that is second to none."

He Jinyi's eyes flashed, "You mean King Anhua?!"

"good."

This……

"Inappropriate." He said: "The connection between the frontier army and the vassal king is unclear, and this matter is very easy to be misunderstood. Besides, what strength does King Anhua have to help us resist the imperial court's order? The imperial order, in addition to accepting the order, he also There is no other way. Pulling this big banner seems to be more powerful, but in fact there are only disadvantages and no benefits."

Qianhu Zhou Ang was a little disappointed, "Without the banner of King Anhua, do we have to rely on thousands or hundreds of households?"

"You go first, I'll think about it later."

"What command...?"

"Go first!" He Jinyi amplified the volume.

In fact, he has a good relationship with King Anhua, or King Anhua himself has a good relationship with most officials in Ningxia Town, but it is really not suitable to involve him in this matter.

The imperial court is coming to investigate you, you are still showing your feet, do you have any brains?
……

Qianhu Zhou Ang left the gate of He Mansion, and someone followed him within a few steps.

"How about it?"

"The censor is true, and the things are true. But Commander He disagrees and thinks it's bad. This is a taboo between the frontier army and the vassal king."

"It's better to commit a taboo than commit a crime. The imperial court takes him as a model, and everyone else has a way to survive, but he has no way to survive."

Zhou Ang nodded, "Got it, I'll try again later."

After that, the two separated.

But the person who left did not return to the palace.Instead, he went through a few alleys and went to another place. He tapped twice on the door and then knocked three times.Without saying a word, the door swung open.

Then he quickly dodges inside.

"Your subordinate Yang Shu, see Luo Qianhu."

Another voice sounded, "You've done a good job. Ningxia Wei He Jinyi invaded the army, and Ti Shuai told the emperor about it. The emperor attaches great importance to this. Jin Yiwei made another contribution. I got Ti Shuai's order, and I came here to investigate secretly. Inquiring into this matter, the first thing I did here was to reward you. Since you entered the palace in the second year of Zhengde, you have been born and died..."

That's right, this person is Luo Chenglin, a thousand householder of the Jinyiwei Internal Guard.
