Chapter 803: Father-in-law, who are we going to fight?
The attack on the SAR actually happened six days ago, when the Huihui was very busy with the disciples and grandchildren of the old monk Fahai who bombarded Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang and molested the old monk Fahai.
The reason why it took six days to summon the news was actually to blame Father-in-law Wei for his own lack of proportion, which offended Jiangnan officialdom.
is like the Wuxi incident, according to the process of reporting, it is, who is right and who is wrong, and some are lawsuits. As long as the court does not thoroughly characterize this matter for a day, the local authorities cannot act without authorization, and at most they will "make a noise about the matter" and incite public opinion to attack, and there will be no substantive action against them.
What's more, the magistrates of Wuxi County are all endorsing Grandpa Wei, even if this lawsuit goes through the three law divisions, Grandpa Wei will not necessarily lose.
But the father-in-law and his old man were out of the way, and he was stunned to "pack" hundreds of people from Donglin Academy collectively, and there were Gu Xiancheng's number one disciple Gao Panlong and the incumbent officials from the first and second jinshi, even if the emperor took the blame for you, the court would not be able to fight for the merits for a while, but the local government was going to fight with you Eunuch Wei.
It must be known that since Gu Xiancheng and others rebuilt Donglin Academy, the foundation of the Donglin Party is this Nanzhili, especially this Jiangnan.
Su Song is often three places, which can be called the old nest in Donglin.
The officials who served in these three places were either from Donglin or close to Donglin, and none of them were hostile to Donglin anyway.
The reason is that since Gu Xiancheng began, the second division of the Ministry of Officials' Literature Selection and Merit Examination has always been controlled by the Donglin Party, and these two divisions directly determine where officials serve.
The personnel and organization departments have called Donglin to take control, how can there be an official who hates Donglin in Jiangnan Laowo.
From a small thing alone, we can see Donglin's influence on the "Organization Department" of the Central Committee of the Ming Dynasty, this small matter is Yang Lian, who entered Beijing as the first honest official last year.
In the future, Yang Lian, the leader of Donglin, had just been a jinshi the year before last, and he asked the officials to be sent to Changshu to be the magistrate of the county, and the magistrate was less than a year in office, and he entered Beijing as the household department with the title of the world's first honest official.
This is Yang Lian, who is valued by the bigwigs in the Donglin Party, if you want to put others aside, you will see if the efficiency of the officials will be so fast.
The Ministry of Officials is the basic plate of Donglin, and the current Shoufu Ye Xiang Gao is the giant leader of Donglin, and Gonggong Wei set fire to people's nests in people's nests and kidnapped people's disciples, do you say that the officials in Jiangnan want to fight hard with him.
I have to work hard to change the father-in-law of Wei is this magistrate, there is no way, who makes the family belong to the Donglin family.
The party is the same and there is nothing to say.
It is true that Gonggong Wei has soldiers in his hands, not a paper tiger like Sun Long, a weaving eunuch in Suzhou and Hangzhou, who makes people run away when they are scared. But you can't fight with martial arts, Wen can always fight.
Su Songchang's three mansions are under the jurisdiction of Cao Shipin, the governor of Yingtian, although he can't help Gonggong Wei, who has soldiers in his hands, and he can't transfer troops to encircle and suppress him, but Cao Shipin, who is a minister of Yingtianfu, has the ability to isolate this so-called "maritime special zone" created by Gonggong Wei.
Originally, Governor Cao still wanted to solve the "teacher-student crisis" as gently as possible, but Gonggong Wei didn't give face, insisted on it, and did not allow the people from the Yamen of the Governor of Yingtian to enter the Special Administrative Region.
If I can't beat you, I can always starve you to death!
If the imperial court did not explicitly adjust the administrative plan of the Susong area, and the household department did not approve the special maritime zone for a day, the governor of Yingtian had the right to regard the special zone as illegal.
Fuchen was furious, and the prefectures and counties below were going to take action.
Suzhou prefect Zhou Wusu was close to Donglin, and he hated Wei Gelding for burning Donglin Academy, causing the Wuxi tragedy, and kidnapping Donglin teachers and students, and strictly implemented the orders of Lord Futai.
Under the personal supervision of the prefect, Taicang and other places adjacent to the Wusong Special Economic Zone can be said to have achieved "strong walls and clear wilderness", and all official and non-governmental communication with the Special Economic Zone has been cut off locally.
When meeting with the gentry of Taicang, Zhou Zhou Wu was indignant and said: "Wei Gelding will not let go of the teachers and students of the academy for a day, so he will not want to buy a grain of rice and a cabbage from my Suzhou for a day!" ”
It's a trade war.
When Gonggong Wei was not on patrol, he severely condemned Suzhou's illegal act of starting a trade war without authorization. However, at that time, because Songjiang had an ambiguous attitude towards his father-in-law Wei, and Maozhi County in Shanghai was very knowledgeable, even if the materials needed by the Special Economic Zone could not be purchased from Suzhou, they could be purchased through Shanghai County, so Gonggong Wei ignored it after finishing the mouth cannon.
Later, with soldiers in hand, he openly wantonly destroyed the ecological environment in Songjiang, Jiading, and other places, destroyed places of interest and historic sites, and sent his subordinates to buy food and other daily necessities in Shanghai, Huating and other counties.
Until leaving the SAR and marching west along the river, Songjiang was always friendly to Wei Gonggong, or rather, swallowed his anger. Who would have thought that after hearing that Gonggong Wei left, Songjiang Mansion immediately pulled a list for Gonggong Wei.
Under the pressure of the prefect, Mao Zhixian in Shanghai, who would become a member of the eunuch party and the governor of Yingtian in the future, did not dare to protect his life anymore, so all the shops in the county received a notice from the county government that they were not allowed to sell anything to those Wei eunuchs from the special zone.
When Cao Shipin of Suzhou waited for a long time to see what the garrison hall in the southern capital did to take action against Wei Biao, he knew that Gonggong Liu would not stand on the side of their foreign officials, so he no longer expected the inner garrison hall to go to Songjiang to inspect in person.
After that, several important roads connecting Wusongkou and Songjiang were also sealed.
Not to mention going out to buy rice and vegetables, the SAR will not be able to go out for a walk. When the traffic is cut off, the external communication channel is naturally cut off.
To a certain extent, the 2,000 officers and men left behind in the special maritime zone, their families, and the more than 3,000 ordinary people are like birds trapped in cages.
In this matter, if you want to change the presence of Father-in-law Wei, he will definitely not say a word, and he will kill the chicken with a dozen fans.
As the emperor points to in the banner of treachery, you are all traitors!
But the people who stayed in the Special Administrative Region were basically the people from the Wusong Water Battalion, who had the courage of Duke Wei, and some people still had wait-and-see or dissatisfaction in their hearts, such as Cheng Qing, the former head of the Water Battalion, who was entrusted by Duke Wei with the important responsibility of the logistics department of the headquarters.
Without the backbone, and the interior is not monolithic, it is naturally impossible to have any countermeasures.
Fortunately, Wei Gonggong's vision of people is not particularly accurate, and he particularly likes to "dress people with ceremonies", but the reuse of Jiang Xifeng, a native of Leizhou, Guangdong, is undoubtedly full of wisdom, and the facts have proved that this reuse has played a decisive role in the survival of the Special Administrative Region.
Jiang Xifeng was a garrison of the Yuanshui Battalion, and he was a talent before joining the army, because he couldn't get into the army that promoted talents. In the Battle of Luliang, he temporarily commanded his ship after the death of the commander-in-chief Deng Zilong.
Gonggong Wei's deepest impression of the Guangdong officers was not the bad gambler Wang Dali, but this Jiang Xifeng. After a brief contact, it was found that this person had a very clear head, a clear answer, and a dignified appearance, quite an ancient martial arts style, so the father-in-law reused this person as the director of the General Staff Department, plus the guerrilla rank, and deliberately cultivated him to become a senior general of the future Ming Imperial Army.
When he left the SAR, his father-in-law left Jiang Xifeng and Cheng Qing to be in charge of the affairs left behind, the former mainly responsible for the management of the navy's left-behind detachment and the establishment of the staff department, and the latter mainly responsible for the SAR's road projects and money and food.
When it was discovered that Suzhou and Songjiang had suddenly blocked the SEZ's external traffic for no reason and cut off the trade in the SEZ's materials, the left-behind personnel were naturally a little flustered.
Although Cheng Qing did not stand up and call on the officers and soldiers to avenge the death of Jiang Liangdong and return to the command of Ying Tianfuchen, he did not propose corresponding countermeasures, but viewed the crisis in the SAR with a negative attitude.
Jiang Xifeng's attitude was completely different from Cheng Qing's, on the one hand, he sent people with books to ask Suzhou and Songjiang what they were thinking, and on the other hand, he organized people to count the materials and ensure that food and other necessary daily necessities were distributed uniformly, so as to gain time as much as possible. On the other hand, he constantly patrolled everywhere to calm people's minds.
Unlike Cheng Qing, who might be happy to see this situation, or even gloat, Jiang Xifeng knew that if he could not stabilize people's hearts and lead to the collapse of the Special Administrative Region, it would not only be Wei's father-in-law who would be unlucky, but also their Guangdong officers and soldiers.
Whether they wanted it or not, the death of the guerrilla general Jiang Liangdong and the collective joining of the water battalion into the pro-army were not played by the officers and men of Guangdong.
Therefore, it is certain that once Duke Wei is defeated and the navy collapses, Jiangnan officialdom will never let go of these Guangdong officers.
Therefore, in order to obtain the hard-won status of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and in order not to be purged, Jiang Xifeng must come out to maintain the security of the entire Special Administrative Region.
Thanks to Jiang Xifeng's efforts, the hearts of the people in the SAR have gradually stabilized.
Suzhou and Songjiang did not explain the purpose of the road closure, and no longer had contact with the people sent by Jiang Xifeng, but they did send people to spread rumors that the Duke of Wei had violated the laws of the imperial court, and the emperor had sent Jinyi guards to lock him up.
After this news spread, the hearts of the people in the SAR fluctuated again.
Jiang Xifeng was very troubled by this, and he had sent someone to Yangzhou by boat to find Duke Wei to report to him, and he believed that Duke Wei would definitely make a decision about this.
However, at this very moment, the SAR was attacked.
The attackers were the widows.
The site of the attack was Sitang Town, which was originally a small fishing village with more than 200 households. This place is only thirteen miles away from the naval port, and less than ten miles away from the location of the maritime admiral's yamen.
According to the local villagers who escaped, in the early morning, more than a dozen boats suddenly came to the sea, and there were dozens of Japanese in each boat. As many as 100 villagers were killed, and the rest fled to the nearby military camp and the Admiral's Maritime Yamen.
Jiang Xifeng was taken aback when he heard the news, and hurriedly led the officers and soldiers to Sitang Town, and when he arrived at the place, he found that the Japanese were advancing towards the core area of the maritime yamen, so the two sides fought without saying a word.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Jiang Xifeng brought only more than 200 officers and soldiers with him after receiving the report, but the number of Japanese soldiers was more than twice as high. Therefore, after the battle, the Ming army was very difficult to face the Japanese who had excess troops, and dozens of people were killed and wounded.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield was reversed, and the Ming army attacked from both sides, and the Japanese invaders retreated again and again. After paying nearly 100 casualties, the leader of the Japanese invaders found that they could not defeat the Ming army, and completed the above explanation, so they had to retreat to the sea.
Seeing the ruins of Sitang Town and the soldiers and civilians who had been killed or wounded by nearly 300, Jiang Xifeng was unwilling to let the Japanese escape. He rushed to the port with his officers and soldiers to board the ship and went out to sea to pursue, but unfortunately the boat on which the Japanese were traveling was relatively fast, and the Ming army failed to catch up.
The hostile situation in Sitang Town shocked the entire SAR, and because he did not know where the attackers came from and whether they would launch the next attack, Jiang Xifeng organized villagers to live in the barracks so that they could be protected by officers and soldiers. At the same time, he immediately sent someone to report to Gong Wei and asked Gong Wei to bring his troops back quickly.
Because it was reported by boat, and because Father-in-law Wei had been dangling around Zhufu County in Jiangbei recently, Father-in-law did not have a specific location, so the person who reported the news could not be contacted for a long time, which led to a military situation six days ago, and it was only sent to Father-in-law Wei six days later.
"Lang Lang Qiankun, where did you come from! The bastards want to yin our family, damn it, Dong Shi is so good, they can't catch up with the heat when they eat shit! ”
After figuring out the specifics of the matter, Gonggong Wei didn't laugh angrily, but laughed, you are a big-headed ghost!
Needless to say, this attack and the Chongming incident that my father-in-law had rectified last time were all trying to achieve ulterior motives in the name of the Japanese Invaders!
Dare to stab Lao Tzu's chrysanthemum while Lao Tzu is not at home, this breath Lao Tzu can't swallow!
"This is a deliberate attack by hostile forces on our family and the imperial army! Gotta fight back! People don't offend us, we don't offend people. If anyone offends us, we will offend! … Not only is it a prisoner, but it's also going to him! ”
The father-in-law defined the incident in an unquestionable tone, and gave the order to go to war.
"Fuck him, these bastards really think our family is a sick cat! … If we don't harden it, they really can't we be tough! ”
Under the anger, the father-in-law's tone was extremely vulgar, but in the ears of a group of old and rough generals, it was very good.
It's just that there seems to be something wrong with my father-in-law's words: can he get hard?
This is a question that can only be hidden in people's hearts, but there is a question that must be asked.
"Father-in-law, who are we going to fight?"
As the chief officer of the navy, this question must have been asked vigorously by Wang. He was also anxious for revenge, because many Cantonese soldiers were killed and wounded in the attack.
But the father-in-law asked Wang Dali: "You say, who did this?" Who in Jiangnan wants our family to die the most? Who has such great ability to call hundreds of people at a time? ”
"I said? …”
Wang Dali felt embarrassed, and according to him, those who have the motivation and strength to do this are afraid that they are high-ranking officials. Lord Cao, the governor of Yingtian, is suspicious, and some of the wealthy gentry and gentry who have been bullied by their father-in-law are also suspicious, and of course, those maritime merchants who are dissatisfied with the sealing of the river and Jinghai are also suspicious, after all, what Gonggong Wei is doing now is obviously cutting off their financial route.
From the fact that the enemy came from the sea and pretended to be a Japanese bandit, the maritime merchants were the most suspicious. However, there are high-ranking officials and nobles behind the official and merchant families, and the maritime merchants in Fujian and Zhejiang have to deal with them together, and if they want to deal with them, they have to deal with the power behind them.
Thinking about it like this, not only Wang Dali was a little confused, but the generals of the navy and army were also shocked.
