Chapter 1022: Simple, not rude
Wang Yi was so angry by Wu Zheng that he said sharply: "There is no evidence, this official will never believe that anyone would give Wang Yilin such a ridiculous order, arson, plunder, and harm people's lives......." ”
"Why not? Didn't Your Majesty also issue an edict ordering the forbidden army to hunt down and kill this king? It's really rare and weird, why didn't Du Yushi question His Majesty about his absurdity? ”
"You ......." Wang Yi really didn't expect Wu Zheng to be so domineering, "Okay, then King Ji will tell me, who ordered Wang Yilin to be?" ”
Everyone's eyes looked at Wu Zheng, and even Wang Yilin was puzzled, was he ordered to rob the county government the night before?
Wu Zheng's tone became calmer and calmer, "Wang Yilin is Yi Zhenbo, in addition to His Majesty and His Royal Highness, there is naturally only this king who can order him." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
Wu Zheng was temporarily in charge of the military and political affairs, and he did have the right to mobilize all the troops in the Yixing Dynasty except for the forbidden army.
But the question is, is it worth it for the sake of more than 100 wounded soldiers?
Everyone in the hall knew in their hearts that Wu Zheng was taking the initiative to carry the black pot for Wang Yilin.
But I really can't find any loopholes.
Wang Yi was stunned for a long time and said: "What does the county king mean that Wang Yilin was ordered by the county king to plunder and harm people's lives?" ”
"Nope." Wu Zheng categorically denied it, "This king only ordered Wang Yilin to plunder, and did not order the killing of people." ”
"That's it, in fact, three people have been killed and dozens have been injured...... Furthermore, why did the county king give this order, the county king was temporarily in charge of the military and government, why did the county king need to do such a ridiculous thing? ”
Wu Zheng dusted his sleeves, "This is for you, the army of thousands of people said that they would be dismissed, and they would be dismissed, and they would be dismissed, and they were stunned that they didn't give a grain of food, and the king wanted to recover the Great Victory Pass, and the available troops in his hands were insufficient, so he had to transfer the remnants of the water division, and thousands of people had been hungry for nearly half a month without a meal...... There is a way that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and it is late at night, and the king has no choice but to order Wang Yilin to lead his troops to eat on the spot, is it wrong? In addition, the king also took care of Wang Yilin, identified himself, and left a certificate...... Wang Yilin, did you ask the soldiers to identify themselves and leave their credentials? ”
Wang Yilin was blessed to his heart, and said loudly: "Stay...... If I hadn't stayed, I would have relied on the county government and a few rice shops to see my face and testify against me? ”
Wu Zheng spread his hands and said to Wang Yi: "Did Du Yushi hear clearly?" That's the truth! ”
Wang Yi was indeed stunned, can this thing still be done like this?
"The king of the county has done this, this will go out, I'm afraid it's hard to calm people's hearts, right? This is clearly contrary to the law of the ancestors...... ”
"What is the Law of the Fathers?"
"It's ......."
"When Taizu established the Ming Dynasty, could there be ancestral laws?" Wu Zheng looked around at hundreds of opponents, "The law is made by people, and people always have negligence, and the law that is out of place is a bad law." Now that strong enemies are around, it is the time to inspire the people to go on the Northern Expedition, the reason why the warriors are warriors is that they have a sense of mission and pride, do you want to interrogate the warriors and weaken and destroy their sense of mission and pride? A nation that does not treat warriors well will not have a future...... Ladies and gentlemen, to resist the Qing army's southward march and the Northern Expedition to revive the Ming Dynasty, it is up to them to give up their lives and shed their blood. ”
Wu Zheng's words made the entire hall silent, only his voice lingered.
"Other nations don't have heroes, and they want to create heroes. But we have heroes, but we want to destroy them...... Heroes are human beings, not gods, and human beings will always have flaws, and it is really unwise to find faults! ”
Wang Yilin looked at Wu Zheng who was talking excitedly, for the first time, he felt that Wu Zheng was so pleasing to the eye.
And the indignant Zheng Youde, who had already shrunk back in sweat at this time, was not convinced, but he was afraid, because Wu Zheng ordered a thorough investigation of the Ren family.
Think about it, the rich man, the family is big, the Qing army occupies Yingtianfu, how can he have the courage to oppose the Qing like the people?
Naturally, he bent his knees to keep his family safe, and if he didn't flatter the Tartars, he was already a rich man with a conscience.
Therefore, Wu Zheng didn't need to check, and he knew that the Ren family's butt must not be clean, which was actually intimidation.
Simple, not brutal, yet very effective.
Wu Zheng saw that there was silence in the hall, thinking that his words had persuaded the ministers, so he looked at Zhu Yujiao and arched his hand: "Please Your Highness issue the edict of the prison state, bury the fallen soldiers of the sailor in the ten miles north of Qingliang Mountain, set up a six-foot stele, write the inscription by the Ministry of Rites, compensate the relatives of the soldiers, and give the title of the Ming Martyrs' Tomb by His Royal Highness for the respect of all the people, so as to inspire the people to fight bravely to kill the enemy and recover the rivers and mountains!" ”
However, as soon as Wu Zheng's voice fell, the noise in the hall immediately sounded.
"Ridiculous!"
"Give the rebels a good name, so that I can wait for face?"
"That is, the imperial court dismissed the defeated army, and in turn gave it a good name, and reversed itself, so that the imperial court was disgraced?"
"Your Majesty, don't act on this!"
In addition to Huang Daozhou, Qian Sule and other officials who are less than 30 percent, nearly 70 adults are opposed.
Among them, there are even many who have always been inclined to Wu Zheng's side, which shows that the difference in concepts not only tears the people, but also tears the court.
"The rebels of the sailor have committed the crime before, and the court has not pursued it, it is already merciful, and if you want to treat it well, how can you be embarrassed? Puffers, untouchables, slave soldiers, how can they be crowned with the reputation of martyrs of the Ming Dynasty? In this way, how can we be embarrassed by the scholars and doctors, and how can we be herdsmen? ”
Public opinion can be described as turbulent, Qian Sule shook his head slightly to Wu Zheng, meaning not to dwell on this matter anymore, when it is time to compromise, you have to compromise.
Wu Zheng was furious.
If the main reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty is that the Donglin Party has brought about the entire Ming officialdom, it may be a little excessive, but it can be said that it has blackened the entire reading class in Jiangnan, and it is really not wronged.
If nothing else, let's just say that the "three salaries" levied before Chongzhen hanged himself are said to be the people's harsh taxes for a long time.
But in fact, the three salaries are really not a heavy tax, although for some provinces it is indeed particularly heavy, but on the whole, it is still within the framework of one out of fifteen, and the Ming tax can be said to be the lightest dynasty in thousands of years.
The "three salaries" were levied on the three southeastern provinces and four prefectures and the five northern provinces, with the average household in Zhejiang being one or two or six cents, the average household in Fujian being four cents and three cents, the average household in Huguang being nine cents, Guangdong being five cents and seven cents, and Guangxi being less than two cents.
But each household in Shaanxi and Henan is three taels and three taels, and Shanxi and Shandong are even more incredible, with four taels and eight dollars and five taels and three coins respectively.
Why?
Because there is a Donglin Party in the south of the Yangtze River, which is known as the "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty", the Donglin Party members have always been traitors, but they can't pay taxes.
The tariffs of the Ming Dynasty are almost zero, and fools understand that the huge army raised by the Zheng family, and the military salaries come from maritime trade, but the Ming Dynasty just can't levy it, why? There is the Donglin Party.
