Chapter 825: What Is This Person's Origin?
I don't know when it became a traditional virtue of the Ming army to kill good people and take risks.
It is likely that this tradition began in the Wanli period.
At least, it's the end stage.
Perhaps, at the beginning, as Wang Dali and others said, they were just some outsiders, killing and beheading to obtain military merits, which did not hurt the people or hurt their conscience, and they also had benefits to reap the benefits, so why not do it.
But the thousand-mile embankment collapsed in the anthill.
As soon as things start, no one can stop the development of the lower limit.
The bottomless performance of many military leaders during the Chongzhen period was enough to make Wei Gonggong make up his mind to resolutely crack down on the behavior of killing good people and taking meritorious deeds, so as not to make the imperial army that had not yet formed evolve into a military town, and staged a drama of borrowing the heads of his relatives in the countryside everywhere.
Soldiers are not as good as cowards, and the country can survive.
Wei Gonggong emphasized that the army should be strengthened by materials, and he also knew that materials and military discipline must coexist, and rewards and punishments should be clear, otherwise, there would be no way to strengthen the army.
Without this moral outlook as the foundation, everything is just a castle in the air, and it will collapse.
The Annan people are different from the people of Jianzhou, the governor of Jianzhou, Hongtai and others, who were killed in Straw Hat Dingzi Mountain, and they are completely different in nature, and they treat the latter well, but the farmer and the snake raise tigers for trouble.
Treat the former well, but it can play a key role in the survival of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a matter of the survival of the Ming Dynasty.
Under the strong deterrence of his father-in-law, the admirals did not dare to mention this stubble anymore.
The next day, his father-in-law immediately ordered the navy to send two warships to escort Pei Guangpao and his party to Wusong, while he continued to lead the fleet to "sweep" in the waters of Zhoushan.
This can make the Dinghai guards anxious, sea trade is the foundation of their survival, whether it is to go to sea or to come to Hong Kong, as long as there is a ship to come, they will have silver.
But now, not only can't a boat go out, but also a boat can't get in, all the ports are empty, and even the fishermen who go out to sea to fish have to be repeatedly checked by Wu Songwei's people.
No money, be a fart soldier.
Thousands of households gathered in Dinghai City's commanders, shouting that they would command the lord to make decisions for them.
Many of the regular maritime merchants who commanded the envoys also sent people to ask, saying this and that, and there was no lack of improper response to Dinghaiwei between words, which caused the maritime trade to stop being dissatisfied.
Under the instigation of the maritime merchants, thousands of households shouted and shouted to kill, and the sound of fighting to the death was higher than the tide.
However, the commander never responded, and in the end, he was forced to say in a muffled voice: "Zhongcheng is not allowed." ”
…….
Zhongcheng is the governor of Zhejiang.
Gao Ju is a native of Shandong, and in April this year, Fang took the post of governor of Zhejiang as the right of the Inspectorate, so he was a new official.
This person, like Cao Shipin, the governor of the heavens, is a superintendent who has made great contributions to water control. Throughout the governorship of this dynasty, but those who have contributed to water control can mostly serve as governors, which shows that this dynasty attaches great importance to water control.
When the Zhongzuo was captured, Luo Dajun, the commander of Dinghaiwei, was not in Dinghai, and the governor was not in Hangzhou, but in Zhenhai City.
Unlike other provinces, the governor of Zhejiang is not the provincial capital of Hangzhou, but the two cities of Hangzhou and Zhenhai.
Zhenhai is an important town in Zhejiang, and it is said that many officials in Zhejiang and the imperial court believe that the governor of Zhejiang should be stationed in Zhenhai alone, and the general army of Zhejiang should also be stationed in Zhenhai, if the imperial court accepts this suggestion, then Zhenhai's status will be higher than that of Hangzhou and Ningbo. In terms of importance, I am afraid it is second only to Nanjing Yingtianfu.
However, the importance of Zhenhai is mainly reflected in the military, and if there is a police along the coast of Zhejiang, Zhenhai will be prominent. There is no police along the coast, and Zhenhai is certainly not as important as Hangzhou. Therefore, since Wanli, most of the governors of Zhejiang have been stationed in Hangzhou, and few have been stationed in Zhenhai.
Holding up this visit to Zhenhai is specifically for a grand event, and it is also to fulfill the wishes of the predecessor.
In the 34th year of Wanli, 17 students from Ningbo were admitted to the examination at the same time, which caused a lot of sensation in Zhejiang Province.
At that time, the governor of Zhejiang, Gan Shiwei, wished these 17 people to be reused by the imperial court like Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and planned to build a three-room and four-pillar "Yingzhou Jiewu" workshop for them.
However, the archway was not built during the tenure of Gan Shi price, so when Gao Ju was appointed governor of Zhejiang, Gan Shi price specially wrote to him about it, and Gao Ju built the "Yingzhou Jiewu" workshop in the name of him and Gan Shi price.
Luo Dajun quickly went to Hangzhou to report the news, but Hangzhou did not dare to slack off, and quickly sent someone to deliver the emergency report to Zhenhai. After hearing the news of the inauguration ceremony of the "Yingzhou Receiving Arms" workshop, he was furious and immediately sent someone to summon Shi Dezheng, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, to discuss urgently.
Shi Dezheng was transferred to Zhejiang three years ago as the chief soldier, and had been in Fujian before, and had served as the right member of the South Road to participate in politics, and the commander of the Fujian Navy Division, during which he led the division across the Taiwan Strait and defeated three warships that invaded the Dutch.
At that time, the board of directors of the Dutch East India Company issued instructions on the defeat of the war, making it clear that trade with China must be increased by all means. But all this may exclude force as much as possible.
However, Shi Dezheng was in Hangzhou, and it took a few days to rush to Zhenhai, and many gentry came to the door here, so he told the governor about the death of officers and soldiers in Dinghaiwei and wanted to punish the culprit.
Under the anger of the masses, many people in the Zhejiang Party either came to the door or wrote to Gao Ju to put pressure, which made Gao Ju have to prepare to go to Dinghaiwei to find out the truth first.
But halfway through, there were people from the weaving yamen in Suzhou and Hangzhou who asked to see the eunuch Sun Long's letter.
After reading Sun Long's letter, he held it high for a long time and did not speak, and then ordered to leave Ningbo. Then he wrote a letter to the Ningbo Mansion to send the horse to Dinghaiwei and handed it over to the commander to make Luo Dajun personally open.
In the letter, he asked Luo Dajun to restrain Dinghaiwei and the whole people, not to cause trouble, and not to conflict with the Admiral Maritime Minister Wei again. If something happens, then only Luo Dajun asks.
This made the second monk Luo Dajun puzzled, and he didn't understand why Zhongcheng showed such weakness to the Wei eunuch. However, the governor's order had been given, and he did not dare to disobey.
At the same time, Shen Yourong, a general of Zhejiang, also visited Shi Dezheng, the chief soldier.
Shen and Shi both worked together in Fujian, and when Shi Dezheng sent Shen Yourong, who was appointed as the official of the capital, to lead a military ship to Penghu to question the Dutch, the two were old friends, whether in Fujian or Zhejiang, they were happy to work together.
After Shen Yourong came to the door, he directly explained his intentions.
"Jointly crusade against the East, expel the Ryukyu Japanese, and then seek to conquer Japan in order to reap huge profits from maritime trade?" After Shi Dezheng heard what Shen Yourong said, he was really surprised.
Shen Yourong nodded slightly: "That's what Eunuch Wei said in his letter. ”
Shi Dezheng frowned slightly, and said, "Brother Shihong, what is the origin of this Admiral Maritime Minister?" ”
"It is said that the young man is very young, drilled the concubine door, became a lucky entry by His Majesty's side, and had to be appointed to the post of Admiralty Admiralty, and sent south to supervise the maritime affairs and concurrently serve as the Jiangnan Jiangbei Industrial and Mining Tax Supervisor, but after arriving in Jiangnan, he had a conflict with the Donglin Party, and I heard that the two sides were incompatible. After that, he somehow seized the military power of the Wusong Water Battalion and changed its name to the Navy. ”
Shen Yourong knows so much, and these news are also half true and false.
