The situation is good.

So far, Gonggong Wei has received compensation from a total of ten lords, including the family of Zhang Guocai, the Bo of Ancheng.

This fully shows that there are still many enlightened people among the noble class of Nandu, and they are not purely opposition magnates who are enemies of Wei Gonggong.

It also fully shows that the sincerity and goodwill of Gonggong Wei have been recognized by most enlightened people, and the two sides have had a frank exchange after the misunderstanding, and the knot has been completely opened.

To paraphrase the folk saying, this is called not fighting, not acquaintance.

"Let the past pass, we still have to see the future. Only by looking forward can we go further! ”

Father-in-law Wei was particularly fond of speech, and after making an enthusiastic speech as usual, he personally sent the envoys out of the camp.

Laughter and laughter all the way, sometimes with witty words, caused everyone to laugh, and truly abandoned the previous suspicions and worked together.

After the envoys of each family came out of the camp, the wind blew, and they all felt cold, and their eyes told each other: Wei Gelding not only got cheap but also behaved, but he was still a chatter. God knows where he got so much nonsense, did he think that the fact that he was blackmailing the lords would be wiped out by what he said! Did he think that the lords would be able to admit this matter and swallow their anger!

"What we just said is okay, right? Do you have... Leadership temperament? ”

On the way back, Father-in-law Wei asked Song Sibao, who was following him, and he was very concerned about this question.

What words to say, what expressions to use, and what actions to use on what occasions are often pondered by his old man.

Sometimes in order to make himself play better, he even often plays in front of the mirror, and he doesn't know that he thinks his old man is crazy.

It's really hard to work so hard for my father-in-law, alas, it's not easy to serve the country and the people, and my heart is going to be broken.

Song Sibao's answer made Father-in-law Wei very satisfied, and he liked to ask Sibao, because every time Sibao's answer was the most standard.

Other people's answers either displeased the father-in-law, or they were decent and not new.

Over time, my father-in-law didn't like to ask others.

……..

According to the books, the compensation of these ten companies has been able to balance the public expenditure.

However, there is no big profit, and it is still one hundred thousand taels short of the small goal in the first quarter of Wanli 41.

In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, the father-in-law ordered the soldiers of the Ming Imperial Army to conduct a night drill in the wetland on the east side of Shangfang Bridge.

The roaring sound of guns lasted for half an hour.

The drill notified the Shenji and the Second Patrol Battalion stationed outside the Shangfang Bridge in advance to show that the drill was not deliberately aimed at the southern capital, let alone the Shenji and the Second Patrol Battalion, but only a real combat drill organized by the Ming Imperial Army under the command of the Jiangnan Town Guard.

As the eunuch of the Ming Imperial Army, strengthening the army is the mission and responsibility of Gonggong Wei at all times.

A soldier is not idle, and he cannot be an enemy.

Proceeding from the needs of actual combat and training the troops in a difficult and strict manner is the fundamental way to raise the level of the imperial army in actual combat.

"The importance of night drills is a key drill that has a bearing on whether the whole army can quickly face the enemy, and as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, you must always be ready to fight, and even more so, you must always be ready to fight a tough battle!"

Before the exercise, my father-in-law made a speech, and with his order, the Jinling special large-scale exercise, which had been interrupted for several days, began again.

The exercise unit was composed of officers and men of the first battalion of the personal guard, the left battalion of the infantry army, and the first standard of the horse team.

After the exercise, Cao Wenyao, who was in charge of the drill command, said when Wei Gonggong inquired about the results of the exercise: "This nighttime live-fire tactical test has basically done a solid job of hitting the guns, the target, the shooting method, and the standard of each battalion. ”

Cao Wenyao said even more proudly: "If the imperial army is dragged to Liaodong and the western parts here, it will definitely make the northern Jiannu frightened." ”

Gonggong Wei was very happy after listening to the report, and cordially summoned the soldiers of the imperial army who participated in the drill, and each gave a piece of pork and five taels of silver.

The Shenji and the second patrol battalion stationed at Shangfangmen over there were very nervous, and the bridge and the river were full of sergeants with torches searching, just afraid that Eunuch Wei's soldiers would swim over a few more.

Eunuch Wei's people said that they had lost a few soldiers, but this matter has not been found out yet. Who knows if Eunuch Wei will bring up the old matter again and take it out to be framed.

……..

On the way back to the camp, Chen Fu's father-in-law from the inner garrison hall came again.

Gonggong Chen brought a bad news to Gonggong Wei, Gonggong Liu had already agreed to the request of Gonggong Wei, issued a seal of defense, and transferred more than 4,000 elite soldiers to the three battalions of Shenji, patrol and Shenwu in the southern capital to urgently strengthen the Shangfang Gate to ensure that the city gate was not lost.

As a result, with the Shenji who were originally stationed outside Shangfangmen, patrolling more than 3,000 soldiers, the number of Shangfangmen defenders increased to 7,000.

At the same time, Chen Gonggong said that the inner garrison hall could not accept the destruction of the Nanjing city wall, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the Jiangnan town guard and the garrison of Nandu had a firefight. If necessary, Gonggong Liu will deprive the lieutenant commander of Jiangnan Town of the command of the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction in the name of the Nanjing garrison.

De jure, the Nanjing garrison eunuchs had the right to do so.

At that time, Emperor Chengzu set up the Nanjing garrison eunuchs, and the primary duty was to protect the remaining capital, so the Nanjing garrison eunuchs were involved in military affairs in Nanjing. The soldiers and horses outside the city of Nanjing, the garrison eunuchs can also command.

In short, the inner garrison Liu Chaoyong did not allow Gonggong Wei to blow up the city wall of Nanjing, let alone allow him to enter the city to violently collect it, because this would inevitably plunge the city into chaos. If Gonggong Wei insisted on coming despite the dissuasion of the internal garrison, then Gonggong Liu would have to come forward to collect his military power.

"Father-in-law Liu knows that Father-in-law Wei is fighting for the inner court, but he is not too partial in this matter, Grandpa Guo's face always has to be given, and besides, the south is in chaos..."

Chen Fu conveyed the spirit of Gonggong Liu, and still hoped that the two sides would sit down and talk, turn hostility into friendship, and there was no need to make a big move.

Seeing that Wei Liangchen's face was a little ugly, Chen Fu couldn't help but say: "Father-in-law Liu hopes that you can understand his hardships, this matter is not that father-in-law intends to stop you, there are actually some things, and his old man has to deal with one or two, otherwise the court side, Father-in-law Liu will not be able to explain..."

Chen Fu also revealed that although Gonggong Liu approved the invitation of Wei Guogong, the officers and men of the three battalions transferred to Shangfangmen were also transmitted, and they were not allowed to carry out any substantive attack on the headquarters of the central officials of Jiangnan Town without the order of the Inner Garrison Department.

"That's all Grandpa Liu can do."

Chen Fu was a little embarrassed, Gonggong Liu's arrangement still looked biased towards Wei Liangchen, and he sent troops but didn't let the soldiers fight, but the problem was that Wei Liangchen's "creditor" was in the city and didn't let him enter the city, how could this debt be lawful?

Father-in-law Wei nodded slightly, and said with a look of disdain: "Father-in-law Liu's kindness is appreciated by our family, and his old man's arrangement is also right, and his responsibility is in his body." Please ask Father-in-law Chen to bring a message to Father-in-law Liu, we will definitely handle things properly, and never make Father-in-law Liu embarrassed. ”

"That's good, that's good."

Chen Fu was relieved to see that Wei Gonggong listened, and after listening to Xiao Wei's class analysis, he said that he supported Xiao Wei to suppress the noble class in the southern capital city from the bottom of his heart. But he can't do anything about this, so he can only feel sorry.

After sending Chen Fu away, Cao Wenyao frowned and asked Father-in-law Wei: "The inner garrison doesn't let us enter the city, isn't it?" ”

"Isn't it?" Gonggong Wei asked with a smile.

Cao Wenyao coughed dryly: "Can't receive the money?" ”

Father-in-law Wei laughed: "Father-in-law Liu just didn't let our family blow up the wall and use force, and he didn't say that he wouldn't let our family enter the city." ”

"Shangfang Gate has increased troops, they don't open the city gate, how can my father-in-law enter the city?" In addition to forcibly blowing up the wall and attacking the city, Cao Wenyao really couldn't think of any other way to enter the city.

"It's always what people think."

Gonggong Wei glanced at the brightly lit Shangfang Gate, and Yu Song Sibao gave a few orders.
