Chapter 667: The stakes are high
Although the prefectures and governments of the southern Ming Dynasty are directly under the jurisdiction of Beijing, they have two governors.
One is the governor of Yingtian stationed in Suzhou, and the other is the governor of Fengyang stationed in Huai'an.
Li Sancai, the Duke of Xiuwu, who was disliked by Gonggong Wei and was too old, served as the governor of Fengyang, and the famous Hai Rui served as the governor of Yingtian, and his full name was "the governor of Yingtian Shifu with the right capital".
Ying Tian Xun is located in the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is in charge of the richest place in the world, and his power is theoretically prominent. It's just that since Xuande, most of the people who have served as the governor of Fengyang have also served as the governor of Caoyun, and Fengyang is where the imperial tomb of Zhongdu is located, so regardless of power, in terms of oil and water, the governor of Fengyang is obviously more than the governor of Yingtian.
After all, no matter how powerful Governor Ying Tian was, he could not be as good as the Governor of Caoyun. Moreover, it is the land south of the Yangtze River that is too rich, there are too many outstanding people, the township party gentry are intertwined, and every move attracts the attention of the world.
In addition, the governor of Fengyang has soldiers in his hands, not ordinary guards, but elite soldiers. One is the garrison of the central capital, and the other is the army of Caoyun.
If something happens to Nanzhi, the governor of Fengyang will be able to mobilize no less than 30,000 troops in a short period of time, on the other hand, the governor of Yingtian, the soldiers under the mark are only a few thousand, and if these soldiers are to be transferred, they must be agreed by the Nanjing garrison eunuchs, the Nanjing garrison lords and the Nanjing military department Shangshu.
The three mothers-in-law are on their heads, this should be the governor of heaven and the governor of Fengyang, who is not in charge of the mother-in-law, which official does the faster work, needless to say.
Except for Hai Rui, Gonggong Wei has no concept of the previous governors of Yingtian, and his only impression is that Mao Yilu, the then governor of Suzhou during the "five-person tombstone" movement during the Apocalypse, was the one who sat in the Jiansheng Temple for the second uncle. However, calculating the time, this governor who is close to the "eunuch party" obviously failed to become a governor and important minister, so he doesn't know where to be a county official.
However, it is precisely because he doesn't know which one is doing this Ying Tian Governor now, and Gonggong Wei is uncertain in his heart and is empty.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win all battles.
The biggest reason why Gonggong Wei was anxious to know the current governor of Yingtian was not that he was afraid that this Lord Futai would send troops to grab his "meat ticket", but that he was afraid that this Lord Governor would ruin his plan to go to sea.
"It is important for the prime minister to supervise the military affairs of the prime minister in the future, and to deal with urgent affairs in a timely manner."
Wei Guangwei told Wei Gonggong in his letter.
The officials of Nanjing City, the first to know about the chaos in Wuxi was Wei Guangwei, the waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, who knew about it half a day earlier than the normal channel.
The two things of burning Donglin Academy and shooting the people and gentry on the street scared Wei Guangwei a lot, and the first thought at that time was to quickly break off the relationship with this Wei father-in-law, but he couldn't leave it. Because, it was he who pulled the line for Father-in-law Wei, if he didn't pull this line, Father-in-law Wei wouldn't go to Wuxi, and then, there was no such thing.
Therefore, Wei Guangwei is also the second monk who is confused, and he doesn't understand how Father-in-law Wei went to ask Gu Xiancheng to inspect the painting, and how things evolved into what they are now.
There must have been some misunderstanding in the middle, but no matter what the misunderstanding was, things have deteriorated to this extent, and it doesn't matter if the misunderstanding is not misunderstood.
What matters is how to deal with the aftermath.
Considering that even if he didn't do anything, the Donglin Party would definitely not give him a good look, and maybe they would resent themselves, so Wei Guangwei, out of consideration for his own interests, considered it for Wei's father-in-law, and pointed out a way for him to go to sea quickly to avoid the tide.
This method coincides with what Father-in-law Wei himself thought, but Wei Guangwei didn't know that Father-in-law Wei had also tied up hundreds of meat tickets. If he knew, he would definitely not make an idea for him, let alone tell him the success or failure of the relationship between Cao Shi, the governor of the Heavenly Patrol, and at the same time, he would not agree to take care of the "family" for Father-in-law Wei.
Father-in-law Wei is also out of the way now, he really doesn't have any confidants in the south, and Sister Xiuzhi and Tong Jiashi can only temporarily entrust Wei Guangwei, the "godbrother".
He only hopes that this Wei Shilang can take a good look at the two ladies for him for the sake of Uncle Xiaoguo. As for whether the two "ladies" will hook up with Brother Wei and commit adultery, it is difficult for Father-in-law Wei to say, who let him go to sea in a hurry this time, maybe he will not know whether he is alive or dead, and his whereabouts are unknown.
People have been adrift at sea for a few years, and most of the ladies can't be widowed.
Father-in-law Wei is also free and easy by nature. As the old saying goes, if you want to live a good life, you have to wear some green on your head.
He is useless as a hero, why should he ask people and women to ask for nothing.
People, compare the heart with the heart, and know how to empathize.
It's a big deal, my brother can't help himself, and when he comes ashore, ask him to be a real brother.
The bond is definitely going to run aground.
Wei Guangwei's original big customer was the Donglin Party, how could he dare to sell it again. Which of the Donglin Party members is willing to buy and dare to sell? Aren't you afraid that the spittle star will swallow to death?
Gonggong Wei can't care about anything else now, he has to hurry to Wusongkou.
In terms of time, Suzhou must have known about the good things that his father-in-law Wei did in Wuxi, and Beijing should also know about it, but the emperor knew at most that he burned Donglin Academy, and he didn't know that he tied up hundreds of people in the academy.
Therefore, there is still a difference in time. As long as Beijing's holy decree does not come, Suzhou can always deal with one or two.
This is really thanks to the backwardness of communications in this era, backwardness does not necessarily mean being beaten, and backwardness is also beneficial.
Wei Guangwei said it clearly, the importance of Cao Shipin, the governor of Yingtian, is not that he is in charge of Suzhou and Changzhou, nor is he in charge of Songjiang and Shanghai, and he can besiege the Qin Commander of Wei at any time as the governor of Qincha, but because Wu Song's saliva master is his direct pipe.
In other words, Gonggong Wei had to arrive in Shanghai County before Cao Shipin found out that he wanted to go to sea from Wusongkou, and then either spend a lot of money or kill the generals to get Wusong's sailors.
Otherwise, the sea route will be blocked.
Without the sea route, a holy decree can make Father-in-law Wei have no way to go to heaven and no way to go down.
Gonggong Wei's hope for Wanli, the emperor, is to be able to drag him for a few days, instead of protecting him to death.
It's true that the emperor loves money, and it's not fake to give heavy gifts, but I can't stand the fact that the emperor is not only afraid of money, but also afraid of things.
If this person is not afraid of things, he will not hide in the palace for decades.
You have to rely on yourself.
Suzhou City, Gonggong Wei will definitely not go, and it is even more impossible for him to deal with the governor of Cao Shipin.
Originally, the residence of the governor of Yingtian was not in Suzhou, but in Jurong. But eight years ago, Sun Ruju, a member of Changshusheng, and others incited the crowd to make noise, embarrassed and obeyed the order, and the Suzhou prefect begged to go behind closed doors on Monday. Like gave Zhang Wenda a thorough investigation in the matter, and participated in the case with strict orders. So the Ministry of Rites played Sun Ruju and others separately from the first question, Changshu Tong student members and Tong Sheng stopped a subject, not allowed to take the exam. On Monday, Wu Ling took up his post. It is still passed through the provinces to directly mention the school officials, according to the original title of the department.
This incident, combined with the anti-weaving eunuch Sun Long's riot in Suzhou a year ago, prompted Wanli to issue an order to move from Jurong to Suzhou.
Suzhou and Wuxi are close to each other, and almost when the Wei Gonggong brigade swaggered to Suzhou on the canal with "meat tickets", Cao Shipin, the governor of the heavens, received the news. However, instead of making the judgment he should have right away, he hesitated.
The reason for the hesitation was that the team of men and horses was not in a hurry all the way, and they took a clear banner, openly declaring that they would transfer the captured Wuxi cadres to the governor of Yingtian for disposal.
This made Governor Cao unable to make up his mind, and he was not sure what was going on. The official documents handed over by Wuxi County and the news received by the governor of the office could not be printed, which one to believe, Governor Cao really didn't dare to make a decision.
The governor couldn't figure out what was going on, and the Suzhou Mansion was confused, and there was a detail they didn't notice. Since last night, there have been merchants on horseback passing through Suzhou, all in the direction of Kunshan.
Some people on the road noticed these merchants from the north, and found that they were all one man and two horses, and they carried a lot of cloth bags. The bags looked heavy, as if they were loaded with heavy objects.
These merchants looked like big men, and the officers and soldiers with tax cards didn't look like good people, but when they came forward to check, the other party was well-equipped, and there was really nothing unusual. In addition, these people pay taxes according to the tax, and they give more benefits, and the tax soldiers are also more happy than less, and let them go after asking a few words.
Father-in-law Wei is the fourth level, and after passing the card, he let out a sigh, whether he is dead or alive depends on this time.
I hope that Governor Cao will still call the fleet of Duke Wei on the canal to flicker.
