Chapter 720: Father-in-law Looks Like a Little Daddy!
Since the success of the Wolf Mountain Fort, the Yangtze River estuary is no longer seamless, and the south and north of the Yangtze River are connected, and this sealing of the river has a miraculous effect.
Gonggong Wei did not kill Zeng Guohua, but asked someone to put him on the shore and drive him away, and ordered Wu Fuming, the former commander of the Rear Battalion Banner Army, to take over the Wolf Mountain Fort, and to parallel the garrison hall in Wennan Capital, and ask the Wolf Mountain Fort to be in charge of the Royal Navy, and it has no relationship with the local area from now on.
The internal garrison office did not reply in an explicit text, but only garrisoned Liu Chao to reply in his private name, and there were many reprimands in the letter, ordering Wei Liangchen not to interfere in local military affairs in the name of admiralty.
Wei Gonggong replied to the letter, and his attitude in the letter was sincere, saying that he had to do it as a last resort, and that the current management of the Langshan Fort would make the defenders specialize in training and be proficient in equipment, and regard it as an important town at the mouth of the river, so that the coastal defense would not be lost.
After replying, there was no further news from the Inner Garrison Office.
After Zeng Guohua was expelled, he was so angry that he quickly went to Nandu to ask for his benefactor Xincheng Bo Zhao Shixin.
At this time, Zhao Shixin was also annoyed that Wei Gelding detained his merchant ships and caused him to lose his money, so he visited several lords and wanted to jointly write a letter to ask Wei Gelding to be dismissed.
It was really God to help Father-in-law Wei, at this time, the Chongming garrison urgently reported that there were three sea ships infesting the Jiangkou, and the thieves on board seemed to be playing with a Japanese accent.
This incident reminds people of the Japanese rebellion that eroded the entire southeast decades ago. There are even rumors among the people, alleging that the Japanese want to cross the sea to harass the Ming coast in order to avenge the great revenge of the dynasty.
The Southern Capital Garrison Lord, Fengcheng Marquis Li Huan visited the garrison Liu Chaoyong overnight, and the next day there was a military document sent in the Southern Capital, ordering the provinces along the river to be on guard, and the internal supervision of Wei was also carried out, and the original Wusong Water Battalion was ordered to immediately go to sea to expel the Japanese Kou.
This document did not explicitly cover the large seal of the internal and external garrison halls, and because the minister Wei established the royal navy without the confirmation of the will, the southern capital did not recognize it.
Only Li Huan and Liu Chao used their private seals.
Before long, Wu Song had good news.
After fierce fighting, more than 30 Japanese people were beheaded and more than 20 prisoners were captured.
This news undoubtedly relieved the nervous Nandu, but this incident reminded Nandu from the side that although the Japanese people were going to commit crimes, if they really came, they could land in Jiangnan anytime and anywhere.
The minister Wei had such a sentence at the end of the good news, he said: "The era when the Japanese people used a few boats and dozens of people dared to offend me in the Ming Dynasty and stayed in Beijing is gone forever!" ”
In order to make the people of Jiangnan feel the threat of the Japanese and impress the bravery of the Royal Navy, Gonggong Wei reported the victory to the southern capital, and at the same time asked the sergeants to escort the captured Japanese people through the streets of the Special Administrative Region, and then paraded in Shanghai, Jiading, Huating, Kunshan and other counties.
Everywhere they went, the captives were invective in the Japanese language, which moved the listeners, and the elders did not think of the rebellion decades ago.
After the half-month cruise, Oshima and the other captured "Japanese people" breathed a sigh of relief, quietly returned to the SAR at night, and then boarded a sea boat.
Nandu did not ask Wei Gonggong to send the captured Japanese people for interrogation, Wei Gonggong replied that the Japanese people were not criminal, but lost at sea, and the Ming Dynasty was the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and spread the Quartet with benevolence and righteousness, so the Japanese people had been released after a little punishment, so that the Japanese people would not mistakenly think that the Great Ming Dynasty was not close to people.
Fengcheng Hou Li Huan was very annoyed by this reply, but the inner garrison hall did not come forward, so he could only be angry.
After the incident of the Japanese people accidentally breaking in, the closure of the river by Gonggong Wei had great results.
By the beginning of September, 300 miles upstream along the river, a total of 156 merchant ships were detained, with a total value of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and dozens of traitors and thieves were arrested.
All of a sudden, the merchants engaged in maritime trade in the south of the Yangtze River were boiling hot water.
In Nandu, Changzhou, Suzhou, and Songjiang Prefectures, the gentry and merchants were indignant, and they gathered in front of the large and small yamen every day to punish Wei Gelding, and the gentry and people were in an endless stream, and the bullet stamps were as rapid as snow. However, there was no movement in Beijing, and many bullets sank into the sea after entering the palace.
The merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were shaken, the powerful people in the southern capital were abused, but Wei Gelding was even more arrogant.
Three hundred miles upstream of the estuary, it seems to have become his Wei eunuch forbidden,
Along the way, there were many naval ships cruising, private checkpoints were set up at important places, yellow flags fluttered in the wind, officers and men raised their eyebrows angrily, and the voices of intimidation and scolding were endless, while the gentry and merchants did not dare to be angry or speak.
It is rumored that Wei Gelding openly shouted with the merchants: "Let's say that if we don't let you go out of the river, we won't let you go out of the river, even if you press the official to sue us, it's useless, it's better to send our book faster!" ”
"There is no peace in the earth, the earth is really going to crack and the sky will collapse!"
Qian Sule, the governor of Taicang, was the person who heard Wei Gelding's shouting, and after returning home, he was sad and indignant, saying: "The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the palace hears the sound of counting money!" ”
"I only hate my hands and no soldiers, and I can't behead that Wei eunuch to my people for justice!" Qian Sule was angry and overturned the table and chairs.
Seeing this, his concubine Wang hurriedly persuaded him, saying that the prime minister was a master of Jinshi, how could he be in general with the eunuch temple. Today, the eunuch temple can not fight the tiger and wolf soldiers, but the holy lord repents, the eunuch temple will die without a place to be buried.
"The holy lord is not holy, the virtuous lord is not virtuous!"
Qian Sule sighed, the husband and wife are in the house, and there are some taboo things to say. He said, "If Your Majesty is holy, how can this world allow eunuchs to run rampant? In the past, there were mine supervisors and tax envoys, and now there are maritime eunuchs, and the inner court only knows private interests, ignores justice, and goes down to the clouds for a long time, and the world will be in chaos. ”
"With the presence of sages such as Xianggong, how can the world be in chaos. The fate of Wang Zhen and Liu Jin is more known than the concubine. "Wang has read the book for a few days, but he is sensible.
"That's what I said, how can evil prevail!"
Qian Sule sighed in his heart, "If you really want to suppress the right, I won't do it as an official, and I will take you back to my hometown." ”
Taicang Qian Zhizhou can't go back to his hometown, Duke Wei can't take care of it, his old man will personally lead more than 30 ships and ships of the Royal Navy Mobile Detachment, and he is marching towards the southern capital.
Because, the Xunbing has just come to report, and there is already a will in the palace, according to the news from Princess Shouning's mansion, this will seems to be very beneficial to Gonggong Wei.
Come to think of it, the emperor is willing to take the blame for his father-in-law Wei.
This news was the best news that Father-in-law Wei had received in the past month, and he was even happier than he was when he knew that the navy had detained hundreds of thousands of taels of goods.
He went to Nandu this time to tell those who were dissatisfied with his father-in-law Wei in a righteous and bright way: From now on, all the silver in the southeast will be shared by our family!
On the way, Qingpi Zhao Baole stammered with Father-in-law Wei in every possible way, and provided a lot of valuable information, which made Father-in-law Wei have a good impression of him.
When he arrived at the Zhenjiang River, Gonggong Wei looked at Beigu Mountain, and couldn't help but recite a poem, but Zhao Baole behind him suddenly knelt at his feet, and then said earnestly: "I don't know why, the little one was in a trance for a moment just now, as if his father-in-law was like the father of the villain!" ”
