Ming politicians

() Zhang Pu, who is arrogant and arrogant, doesn't care about Zhang Taining's warning. On the contrary, he believes that he has grasped the key problem. If this problem is exposed, Su Tiancheng will definitely die without a place to bury him. Of course, yes It wasn't causing the sergeants to mutiny, what kind of consequences would be produced, he thought very simply, the imperial court always had a way to punish Su Tiancheng, those sergeants, what else was there to make trouble about, as for the bravery of the Jiangning battalion, it wasn't Questions for him to think about.He now wants to maintain his own status and the prestige of Donglin Academy and Fushe. He has already confirmed that Su Tiancheng will endanger the status and even existence of Fushe.

Liu Yunqing, one of the four sons of Donglin, resolutely left Donglin Academy and joined Su Tiancheng's school. This was a very sensational thing. Qian Qianyi didn't make too many moves, so he felt unconvinced. Now Thinking about it, Su Tiancheng had a deep scheming mind, and what he thought of might be to fundamentally shake Donglin Academy and Fushe.

The debate with Su Tiancheng made him very breathless. He had never been treated like this before. Even when he was a scholar in the Imperial Academy, Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, treated him respectfully. During the time when the imperial court was doing things, he felt like a fish in water and high-spirited. A small magistrate of Jiangning County was so arrogant. This was something he couldn't bear, and he had to fight back.

As for Su Tiancheng's status as a member of the imperial examination and the second place in the imperial examination, these things, in his opinion, are not a big deal. Doing well in the imperial examination does not necessarily prove that he has real ability.

In his head, thinking about these things all the time made him lose his mind.

The visit to Zhang Taining did not yield good results, and he was ready to take a risk, planning to directly incite the sergeants of the two battalions to protest.As long as there are fluctuations in the two camps, the court will have to come forward to solve them.

This is a very dangerous move. If it is not done well, you may be imprisoned, or even decapitated.

Zhang Pu is still sober and knows how to do such a thing.The risk factor was too great, and he had to plan well, otherwise something really went wrong and he couldn't get out.

People are so weird sometimes.

Zhang Pu's status is very good, and in Lizhinian he became the leader of Fushe, almost the leader of scholars in the world. He has been in a high position for a long time, and his mentality has naturally changed, and there is no rising star.Especially a rising star who threatens himself.

It is quite normal to have such a state of mind, as long as he can adjust himself, nothing serious will happen. After all, everyone is jealous. It is a pity that Zhang Pu does not know how to control himself, and he will not tolerate Su Tiancheng's continued development. , and will not tolerate their own status and authority being affected.Su Tiancheng has done so many things.It has already made him feel that such a situation should not be attacked and stopped. <>It won't take long, and I will be willing to bow down.

After Zhang Pu left, Zhang Taining was not idle.

He was very happy when Zhang Pu came to visit. After all, Zhang Pu was the leader of Fushe and the object of worship of southern scholars.But he didn't expect that Zhang Pu was here to provoke trouble, and a mere registered concubine, not an official of the imperial court, actually thought of shaking the two camps.Thinking of dealing with Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying.

What Zhang Pu mentioned hit the point, but Zhang Taining was actually feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The two battalions and the Jiangning battalion are all located in Jiangning County. There is such a big gap in military pay, and the military pay of the two battalions has been in arrears before. This will definitely arouse the opinions of the soldiers, but the military pay of the Jiangning battalion is I figured out a way to solve it myself, and didn't ask the court to allocate a tael of silver.

This shows that when Su Tiancheng built the Jiangning camp, he spent a lot of effort.

If Zhang Taining wavered a little, listened to Zhang Pu's instigation, and made a statement to the court, even if he didn't mention the military pay of the Jiangning battalion, but only asked for an increase in the military pay of the two battalions, it would cause an uproar.

But Zhang Taining would never do such a thing. He is a Nanjing garrison officer, he has experienced many things, and he was born in a family of generals, so he knows that it is not easy to build a strong army.

The Jiangning Camp was only established for more than a year, including when it was not named, but the illustrious military exploits established by the family convinced any general. The Jiangning Camp is indeed an invincible army. Such an army , You must try to protect it well, and you must not be buried in internal strife.

Zhang Taining had to find a way to calm down the fluctuations in the soldiers of the two battalions. If at this time, there was an external force to interfere and stir up the anger of the soldiers, he did not dare to estimate what kind of situation would result. Well, mutiny of soldiers in the guards can be found everywhere. If this happens to the two battalions, I will lose my head.

If Zhang Pu talked about other things, Zhang Taining would not be so alert, but this matter must not be ignored.

But after thinking for a day, Zhang Taining immediately went to see Fan Jingwen.

Fan Jingwen is a military counselor, in charge of the military affairs of Beizhili and Zhejiang. He is also the commander of Jiangning Battalion and Zhang Taining's direct superior.

In front of Fan Jingwen, Zhang Taining spoke out exactly what Zhang Pu had said, as well as his own worries.

Fan Jingwen's expression became more and more serious.

Su Tiancheng hadn't come back yet, he was aware of the recruitment of soldiers by the Jiangning Battalion and the approval of the court to establish the Zhongxing Academy, and after careful consideration, he also very much supported Su Tiancheng's move.

Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, someone actually thought of making trouble.

And the person who provoked the trouble was Zhang Pu.

Fan Jingwen is also not interested in Donglin Academy and Fushe. His understanding is consistent with Su Tiancheng's, that is, as an official of the court, the focus is on doing things, not empty talk. It is not so easy to do things properly. Although he did not completely agree with Su Tiancheng's debate with Qian Qianyi, Huang Daozhou and Zhang Pu, he definitely supported Su Tiancheng.

"General Zhang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

"My lord, the lower officials believe that we must act decisively to eliminate hidden dangers. The two camps have already fluctuated. At this time, if Zhang Pu takes the opportunity to provoke, big things will happen."

Fan Jingwen shook his head.

"Such a treatment is too simple. Zhang Pu is also an influential scholar, and he is a registered scholar. If he handles it rashly, it may cause even greater backlash."

"Your Excellency's words are reasonable, but if Zhang Pu agitates among the sergeants, it will cause bad results, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"Well, you must pay close attention to this matter. Fushe has a great influence in the south. From now on, the two camps must be on special alert, and there must be no negligence."

Zhang Taining nodded, it is not very difficult to do this.

Fan Jingwen looked at Zhang Taining, as if thinking of something, he spoke with a smile on his face.

"General Zhang, you've come to this point. I want to know what you think of the Jiangning camp. The soldiers of the Jiangning camp have such high salaries. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Taining was taken aback.

"My lord, I do have some ideas."

"Oh, if you have any ideas, just say them."

"The salary of the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp is too high, which really affects the soldiers of the two battalions. They are all in Jiangning County. What's more, some of the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp came from the two battalions. Such a comparison reveals the gap. It's hard to say, but the Jiangning camp didn't spend money from the court, and the officials don't know what to say."

"Hehe, there is one thing that you don't want to talk about. Let me help you say that Jiangning County rented and planted the official land of the two camps. With income, do you think that the money obtained by the two camps is a little less? .”

Zhang Taining looked at Fan Jingwen, he is not stupid, Fan Jingwen said this, already reminding him.

"My lord, I don't think it's too low. It's just that Jiangning County is so rich. If it is possible, can I support the two battalions? I don't dare to think that the soldiers of the two battalions can also have such a high reputation." It is still possible to increase the military salary a little bit."

"Hehe, General Zhang, you should have thought of such a thing a long time ago. In fact, you can directly find Su Tiancheng. When it comes to supporting things, they are all imperial court troops after all. Because the military salary has affected the morale of the soldiers, then It's not a good thing."

"My lord, I'm a little embarrassed. I can't interfere with local affairs. It's inappropriate to go directly to Mr. Su."

"Forget it, I'll coordinate this matter. I have an idea. The two battalions still have [-] hectares of arable land, and they can all be cultivated by Jiangning County. In terms of rental fees, Jiangning County will suffer a bit and give more to the two camps." Big camp, after all, they are all in Jiangning County, there are many things that need to be balanced."

"Thank you for being so considerate, my lord."

Fan Jingwen's expression became serious again.

"General Zhang, there are some officers in the two battalions who are greedy for money. You still have to pay attention. This time, all the official fields are taken out. I am afraid that some people's interests will be involved. The contradictions in this need to be resolved." You go to calm down, as for the matter of Zhang Pu instigating the sergeants, the responsibility is on you, and the sergeants of the two battalions must not be allowed to have any fluctuations, as for the matter of Zhang Pu, I will find a way."

Zhang Taining blushed a little. It is impossible for him not to know about the officer's greed for money. He had already benefited from it. Now that Fan Jingwen helped coordinate and let Jiangning County pay an extra amount of money, the sergeants below can get great benefits, but many officers, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a loss. I really need to settle things like this by myself.

Fan Jingwen thinks more, there is already a conflict between Zhang Pu and Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng will return to Jiangning County soon, Zhongxing Academy will also be established, this matter, leave it to Su Tiancheng, trust him It can be done beautifully.
