Ming politicians

Chapter 533 Undercurrent

() "Damn it, Su Tiancheng wants my job, and I want his life. At worst, we will break up and join the bandits..."

"What's the use of losing your temper? I still have to think of a way. If you lose your temper to the sky, you will be fired..."

"I don't believe it anymore. Could Su Tiancheng be able to reach the heavens? He dared to do such a big thing. The guard system is an ancestral system. Doesn't he know it? Why should we be abolished..."

Ningxia Wei, Ningxia's former central defenders and several guard commanders gathered together and discussed indignantly. The imperial court agreed to Su Tiancheng's suggestion and was about to abolish the guards in Shaanxi, and the guards in border towns would not be spared. , Of course, they haven't gotten the news so quickly, everything is heard.

The first one I heard of was Commander Yu of the Ningxia Guard. Beside him, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a merchant. The Commander of the guard station was not that particular. They were all soldiers, and almost all of them were hereditary. Officer, even if there is a stranger here, they will still complain, not to mention that this person is brought by the commander and also brings news.

"Old Yu, what news have you heard? Tell them all. This is not a joke. If Ningxia Wei is abolished, we will be with Xibeifeng."

Commander Yu didn't speak, but looked at the middle-aged man beside him, obviously thinking about the middle-aged man's introduction.

The middle-aged man was not polite, and saluted a few people with his hands clasped together.

"You generals, I came from the stables and got the exact news. The Jiangning battalion went deep into the Hetao area and defeated the armies of the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe. Both commanded Master Su to believe that the Ningxia Wei and Yulin Wei The frontier army is not of much use anymore, it cannot be inferior to the Mongol Tartars' attack, it is better to abolish it and let the Jiangning battalion be in charge. In addition, I have heard that the Mongolian tribes and the imperial court have started a mutual market. It's a profitable business. It's a pity that the exchange market is controlled by Jiang Ningying, if you are still here, I'm afraid you will also participate in the exchange market."

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, Commander Yu hurriedly spoke.

"Brothers, this Su Tiancheng is obviously afraid that we will get a piece of the pie, so he said that he is going to abolish us, saying that the Jiangning battalion is brave and good at fighting. What is it, if I have so much military pay, I can still conquer everywhere. The profit is so huge that Su Tiancheng not only doesn't want us to participate, but also cuts off our retreat, so I can't help being at the mercy of others, and at worst, I will fight with Su Tiancheng."

"Brother Yu, calm down. May I ask who this brother is?"

Before the middle-aged man could speak, Commander Yu immediately answered.

"This is a relative of mine in the stable. He knew some news and was afraid that I would suffer, so he came here immediately."

When everyone saw what Commander Yu said, they stopped asking. Everyone has some connections, so it depends on whether the relationship is strong. Although they are at the border, it is also very good to have connections and get some information, so He said that in the border guards, everyone is well aware of such things, and no one inquires about each other. This is all a secret.

Now the person related to the command envoy specially went to the border to report the news, obviously the relationship is not ordinary.

After everyone started a new round of disputes, Commander Yu left the room with the excuse of having a stomachache, and then the middle-aged man also came out, and the two came together.

"General Yu, I did such a thing at the risk of losing my head. My adults said that such a thing must not be exposed in advance. If Su Tiancheng finds out, it will not only be you and me who will suffer, but my family will also suffer." Your lord is also in danger, so you must have a good discussion and think of a good way, if there is no good way, don't act rashly, just follow Su Tiancheng's request."

Commander Yu's face turned red, and he spoke bitterly.

"Damn, what's the big deal, isn't it just that I didn't report the military situation in time last time? What a big deal. Who didn't do that? We guard the border every day, worrying about it. Who cares? Su Tiancheng didn't eat it. After going through such hardships, why should we be abolished and avenged by the public, I will definitely not be able to bear this tone."

"General Yu, don't say that. There is one more thing I almost forgot to tell you. When the Jiangning Battalion fought in the Hetao area, they lost thousands of soldiers. It is said that because of this matter, Su Tiancheng was furious and yelled. If you want to find the person in charge, you must be severely punished by the court."

Yu Commander's face turned pale. If Su Tiancheng wanted to pursue responsibility, neither he nor the others could run away. It has become a common practice to report military information like this. Everyone does this in order to get more money. As for the matter of exterminating the Mongol Tartars, no one really cares about it. If you can't beat them, don't ask for trouble. Anyway, the Mongol Tartars don't attack cities and villages. They don't see the looting of villages and towns. .

"You, what you said, is it true?"

"General Yu, how can I tell lies? If you don't want to tell the truth, why bother to travel thousands of miles to come here? My lord is also concerned about you, and he is a little angry in his heart, so he thought about it and ordered him to come forward to report the news. "

"Well, then you should tell me who your lord is."

The face of the middle-aged man changed, and he seemed a little angry.

"General Yu, what do you mean by this? Don't you believe me? Do you think I'm trying to sow discord? Then you don't have to believe what I say, and you can even arrest me. My lord risked so much, I ordered you to come down to report the news, but you have such an attitude, do you think that I will say the name of my lord for such an important matter, it is really unreasonable."

"Well, don't be angry. It's not that I don't believe it. It's impossible to talk about such a big thing. It's just that we are all rough people. Seeing that Mr. is a scholar, can you give us some advice?"

"I don't dare to say it. If you say it casually, then you will retreat all your faults to me. It doesn't matter to me. I have a big scar on my head, but my lord will be wronged. I have ten lives, and I can't accompany my adults."

"Don't worry, sir, we are absolutely trustworthy, and we will never say anything about you, sir. I think we are also soldiers. People cannot stand without trust. We still know this basic common sense. Sir, you must teach us." .”

While speaking, Commander Yu took out a piece of silver from his body and forced it to the middle-aged man.

The face of the middle-aged man finally changed.

"General Yu, what do you mean by this? If you give me money, I will leave immediately without saying anything. I am not a person who is greedy for money. My lord hates such things. If you know that I have collected money, I will never forgive you."

Commander Yu quickly put away the money.

"Atonement, sir, I know that I'm a vulgar person, I don't understand anything, if I offend sir, don't be angry, sir, please tell me the way, I'm begging sir here."

Commander Yu clasped his fists to salute the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man did not refuse, stroked the sparse beard on his chin, pondered for a while, and finally spoke.

"General Yu, I don't have a particularly good solution for this matter. If it's inappropriate to say it, just pretend it wasn't said."

"Sir must have a good way, please tell me."

Commander Yu had a look of expectation on his face.

"I feel that since it is a matter decided by the emperor, it may be difficult to go against it rashly. Even if you want to go against it, it is also under a helpless situation. General Yu has been stationed at the border for many years, and he is a family. Why don't you think about it and use it?" Other powers, such as the chief minister, the inspector, and the commander, especially Tan Zongliang, the commander of Shaanxi, are directly responsible for these things."

On Commander Yu's face, there was obviously a bit of frustration.

"Sir, I don't know. We are directly commanded by the imperial court. The frontier army is basically like this. All the commanders in Shaanxi will not control us. It is estimated that Lord Tan Zongliang will not control us."

"General Yu, you are wrong. It is the guard army in Shaanxi that is going to be abolished. Tan Zongliang was directly involved. I also know that Mr. Tan Zongliang does not know about this matter. If you can ask Mr. Tan to uphold justice, Wouldn't it be more confident to be able to unite with the chief political envoy and the procuratorate to oppose such a thing."

"What sir said is, does sir have any other good ideas? After telling us, we will definitely thank you."

"This, I think, you still need to make several preparations. On the one hand, you can get support in Shaanxi, and on the other hand, you can use all kinds of relationships, especially the relationship in the stables. In addition, you can also unite with people from Datong and other places. Guards, support you, tell them that your today is their tomorrow, under such circumstances, all the guards are opposed, Su Tiancheng must not dare to take action lightly."

Commander Yu blushed when he heard such words, he knew the seriousness involved, if the guards all over the place expressed their opposition, not to mention Su Tiancheng, even the emperor would not dare to abolish the guards easily army too.

Of course, the risks here are also very high. If the trouble is not good, you may lose your head, but as long as the planning is careful, it will not be a big deal. Anyway, there are so many commanders of the guards, and I am not alone. made.

With a smile on the face of the middle-aged man, he looked at the excited Commander Yu.

His heart was filled with joy, Mr. Fan Wencheng really had a clever plan, he guessed the thoughts of these guard commanders, he was so accurate, his false identity was not investigated, and he dealt with it with a few easy words, what? None of them were left behind. When the time comes, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos, and no one knows why.

It is really wonderful to let these officers of the Ming Dynasty bite dogs and make big things happen. (To be continued., You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
