300 Southwest Incident (2 in 1)(1/2)
With the pain on the faces of officials from the Third Department of Fujian, Chen Yichen's convening meeting ended successfully.
Of course, this result is acceptable for Chen Yichen, but it is completely unacceptable for Xining!
Tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, even if he could only swallow half of it, it was a reward and treatment that even ordinary princes of the Ming Dynasty could not achieve, but was taken away by Chen Yichen using the general trend to Qingpiaopiao.
How could this tone make Xining, who has always been arrogant, endure it?
After the officials' position was held publicly, Xi Ning could no longer hold back and rushed to Chen Yichen and questioned: "Admiral Chen, do you not take our family seriously now?"
"My grandpa, why did you say this? The official has always respected you."
Chen Yichen looked very wronged and completely "forgot" the deep-seated look he looked at Xining before.
"Then tell me what's going on with the fish scale book?"
"For the sake of colleagues, the lower officials repainted the lost fish scale book. Is there anything wrong with Eunuch Xi?"
It would be fine if Chen Yichen pretended to be confused even more because he was clear about it.
"Chen Yichen, stop pretending. Do you really think our family is so easy to fool?"
Chen Yichen made two moves in succession, and Xining was already on the verge of turning against each other. This was not just a matter of interest, but also involved the dignity of the eunuch who was in charge of the seal.
A young boy really dares to make trouble on Tai Sui’s head!
Looking at Xi Ning's appearance, an undetectable sneer flashed on the corner of Chen Yichen's mouth.
To be honest, after reaching a joint memorial with Xining yesterday, Chen Yichen did not think about continuing to target him. On the contrary, his attitude regained humility and respect, giving him enough face to the other party.
But I couldn't resist Xi Ning was too greedy and planned to take over the tens of thousands of acres of "borderless land" in Fujian.
You should know that in Chen Yichen's post-war resettlement plan, these uninhabited lands were allocated to the 100,000 rebels who were recruited and hundreds of thousands of refugees affected by the war.
Without these land distribution, how should the Fujian rebel army and the people survive? Should they continue to become exploited tenant farmers, or should they force them to rebel again?
When the two sides had irreconcilable conflicts in their fundamental interests, and there was a high probability that Xining would spit out the land. Chen Yichen could only invalidate the previous Fujian Provincial Administration Fish Scale Book and comprehensively cleared the land and re-draw the picture book.
The bottom line issue is nothing to be discussed!
"My grandfather, the power of the world is in the capital, why should you stare at the remote land of Fujian? "
"Yesterday, Xiaguan happened to receive a letter from his father-in-law from the capital. Doesn't he want to know the content?"
Even though Chen Yichen had been plagued by two consecutive words, when he heard Duke Cheng Guozhu Yong sent a letter from the capital, Xining still recovered a little calm in his anger.
Chen Yichen said something that is indeed true. The capital is the land of the hidden dragon. As long as it can gain a foothold in the Forbidden City, the fertile land in Fujian that was lost today can be obtained from any place in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Power is the foundation of wealth.
"If Admiral Chen can't give us what we want, even the prince will not be able to protect you!"
Xi Ning replied in a sinister way, then looked at the imperial guards standing in the distance.
This is when eunuchs go out to the town to serve as military supervisors. The court specially recruits soldiers who accompany them. They serve as guards in normal times and have the authority to take over the command of the army at critical moments.
The meaning of Xining's eyes is very straightforward, which is to tell Chen Yichen that if he continues to be so arrogant, he will use the power of the military supervisor to take him down!
In a sense, the power of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty to supervise the military is greater than that of civil officials and supervise the military. Most of the latter can only abide by the procuratorial power and shall not directly interfere in combat command. If the generals have done something wrong, they must first report to the court for impeachment. Make a decision.
The former does not have so many restrictions. It is a direct manifestation of the imperial power controlling the army and is vividly reflected in the rules.
Just like the Tumu Fort Incident, Wang Zhen's identity was a military eunuch, but he interfered in military affairs and was doing things randomly, forcing the Xunqin who led the army to follow his orders. If it were a civil servant, the military supervisor, would probably not be so willful.
If this scene could be seen by officials of the Three Fujian Branches, they would definitely be amazed. They thought Chen Yichen and Xining came with a group of armored guards to suppress themselves and others.
Unexpectedly, it was the military supervisor who planned to "capture" the admiral.
However, this scene was in the eyes of Cang Huotou and others, and they also looked at Xining's imperial guards with covetous eyes.
Other civil officials and admirals would admit defeat and dare not fight against the imperial military supervisors. Cang Huotou and others would never surrender. At worst, both sides would start a fight.
Even Wu Rui, a brave border army, had been following Shen Yichen for a long time. Facing Xining's attitude of trying to do something, he subconsciously leaned his hand towards the handle of the knife. This behavior was in the past. I can't imagine it.
The reactions of Chen Yichen's guards and others made Xi Ning's expression change instantly. Yesterday's words that were similar to teasing, "decent" to himself, judging from his current performance, it seems that this boy and his subordinates really have the courage to resist. !
"After the Duke wrote in his letter, the Watanabe broke through the three Jurchens, the military fronts were already in full swing. At present, in Xuanfu, Datong and other important border areas, it has formed a confrontation with the imperial army, and the war is about to break out."
"You didn't say that you wanted to work together with the Duke, and you might be right in front of you if you wanted to work together with the Duke."
Hearing that Mongolia had launched an offensive deployment, Xining's expression eased a little. When he was appointed as the eunuch in Liaodong, he had already predicted that the wolves of the Washu tribe would have a war of national destiny with the Ming Dynasty.
After all, Dayuan has entered the flower world of the Central Plains. Any Mongolian leader with a little ambition cannot forget the glory of the past. Only one of the two giants can be completely collapsed to make a conclusion.
Under the influence of Zheng He's reputation in history, almost all of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty had the dream of making achievements.
Compared to Wang Zhen, Xining was a little bit damn, knowing that he was definitely not a match for the Mongols by his own ability, so he thought of serving as the military supervisor of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong and gaining military merits.
But the problem is that Mongolia and Ming Dynasty have not started fighting now. If they take a step back, even if they fight, they are still far away in Fujian to suppress the rebellion. How could they rush back to the capital to fight with Duke Cheng and go out to the frontier?
Chen Yichen didn’t even draw big cakes well. Want to save himself by relying on these few words?
"Even if the thief army now surrenders, our family receives the imperial edict to return to the capital, it will probably be a few months later. How can we get the opportunity in front of us?"
"Besides, Eunuch Wang also has a heart for expedition to the north of the North. Can Admiral Chen really let our family work together with the Master?"
Xining was unmoved, and Chen Yichen's bargaining chip was impossible to offset the losses of tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land!
"Then the official will tell Eunuch Xi another news?"
Chen Yichen knew that these two sentences alone would not be able to calm Xi Ning's anger, and his trump card was still behind.
"Don't keep in touch with our family here, just say something!"
"Okay, the old man also said in the letter that the former leader of Sichuan, the southwest Luchuan, thought about the magic method. Taking advantage of the slack defense of the Sichuan-Guizhou-Miao people, he sneaked back to Mengyang from Myanmar to summon old subordinates to rebel. Now the momentum is huge, there are tens of thousands of people, and so on. The situation in the border areas of Yunnan is turbulent."
"The court has made up its mind to launch an expedition to completely wipe out Sijifa and others. So His Majesty ordered Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji to supervise military affairs, and the Grand Governor Gongge became the general, Zhang Fu's younger brother Zhang Fu, and Tian Li, the right Governor Tian Li. He is the deputy general of the left and right."
"At the same time, 150,000 troops from Nanzhili, Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang, Sichuan and other places were recruited, and the auxiliary soldiers were as high as hundreds of thousands. The entire Southern Ming Guard soldiers were almost all drawn."
"Eunuch Xi, the official thinks you should understand what this means."
Sure enough, after listening to Chen Yichen's narration, Xi Ning's expression immediately became extremely serious. He asked seriously: "Can this matter take it seriously?"
"The court will issue a document soon. Whether it is true or not is false, then you will know at a glance."
After obtaining Chen Yichen's confirmation, Xining also understood that there was no possibility of deception in this kind of thing, and it would soon be known to everyone in the world after the official document was issued.
Now he no longer cared about pursuing the losses of thousands of acres of fertile land, and began to seriously think about his situation, which may have changed in the future.
The rebellion of the southwestern Luchuan rebellion resurrected again, and the imperial court recruited troops from various southern provinces to encircle and suppress the enemy, which meant that the defense of the provinces around Fujian was empty and they were facing a shortage of troops.
In the past, if Fujian had suppressed the rebellion, Xining's worst plan was to run away to Jiangxi or Zhejiang, and then report to the imperial court's admirals to continue to encircle and suppress the troops.
This is the foundation for the Dingsheng Dynasty to be defeated by the peasant army. One province has insufficient troops, and there are still ten provinces waiting for the troops to be waiting. Relying on the number of people to pile up, you can kill the traitors!
But now the court focuses on the southwest Luchuan, so there is no extra resource to manage Fujian. Once the war fails, Xining will completely lose reinforcements and retreat.
If the situation is even worse, the bandit army led by Ye Zongliu Deng Maoqi may take advantage of the empty defense of Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces to directly sweep the three provinces in one wave and stir up the southeast of the Ming Dynasty.
Southeastern Canada and southwest China are in a rebellious crisis at the same time, and the northwest Mongolian army is in a dilemma, what will happen? Xining sweats on his forehead at this time and dare not think about it again!
"Grandpa Xi, given the current situation of the rebels, if there is no one million acres of fertile land to resettle, the final recruitment will fail."
"Do you think that relying on the three guards of Fuzhou can save our lives and return to the capital? Or, if the rebellion in the southeast has resurrected, will the uninhabited land of Fujian fall into the hands of Eunuch Xi?"
After reaching this point, Chen Yichen no longer hides his cover and opens the skylight to speak.
The prerequisite for the sharing of millions of acres of "landless land" in Fujian is to quell the rebellion and return to the control of the court. Only then can Xining and the officials of the Third Division have the opportunity to embezzle and occupy it.
If the situation in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty completely collapses, if you have the ability, take the fish scale book and go to the rebels to ask for the land planned by the above.
In the past, the rebels had no capital for failure, Chen Yichen and Xining could back on the Ming Dynasty and retreat if they wanted to. But now the offensive and defensive momentum is different, and the war has started again, Chen Yichen will not be able to obtain support from the court in a short time, and only Fujian is left. The garrison fought alone.
And when the official documents of the Luchuan battle announced the world, it is unknown whether it would reverse the current recruitment process and stimulate the ambition of the rebels to let them go directly to war.
Even if you have little life, Xining still has the time to covet what kind of land it is?
Chen Yichen's words were a little difficult to digest. He didn't expect that the situation seemed to be in a great situation, but he became critical in the blink of an eye. Instead, he and others were at a disadvantage. It depends on the rebel's choice and expression.
However, after all, Xining had seen the great storm. After calming down, she spoke and said, "If things are really as Admiral Chen said, what are your plans?"
"With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty facing the Mongolian army, it is unable to bear the three-sided battle. Fujian's recruitment of ambulance will not be missed."
"I hope that Eunuch Xi can abandon past prejudices and work together with his subordinates to protect our country and country in the Ming Dynasty!"
Chen Yichen said very clearly that the previous grievances and grievances were mentioned in one piece, and the two had to "unity and mutual assistance" in the subsequent quelling.
If you turn against each other at this time, both sides will suffer losses!
Looking at Chen Yichen with a sincere expression in front of him, Xi Ning was unwilling to accept it, but had to surrender to the status quo, so she could only grit her teeth and briefly replied with the word "good".
"I like my father-in-law to understand the great righteousness and make people admire him."
"The situation is tense now, and the officials still have many matters waiting to be handled, so I will say goodbye first."
After saying that, Chen Yichen bowed casually and led his subordinates to leave.
Looking at Chen Yichen's departure back, a little eunuch came to Xining and whispered: "Godfather, are we just enduring this boring?"
"Tolerate?"
A sharp look flashed in Xi Ning's eyes.
"Our family has been out of town for many years. When have we ever suffered such a big loss? The situation in Fujian needs to be calmed down for the time being. He will definitely be repaid in the future!"
