The emperor made a list of the things he wanted to do, and there were too many things he had to do in the next few years.

But there is one thing more important than Zhang Juzheng's illness and the clueless primary school education.

The officers and soldiers stationed in Hangzhou City were in trouble, and the local government sent a message to transfer the border army to the south to suppress it.

This was not long ago, and the emperors who received the news were shocked: "You can get the salary if you pay him, what should be paid, why suppress it, and even if it is suppressed, transfer the border army?" Not to mention that Saibei is fighting, the border army has celebrated the New Year in the past. ”

This is very strange, so that the emperor has nowhere to complain.

However, the telegram of the next day made the emperor understand the ins and outs of everything.

Hangzhou City, located in the southeast of the city, the official army is paid, the salary should be given to the family, and the soldiers should be paid a share.

In fact, when the emperor found out about this, it was already very late.

They are nearly fifty years old, and the young ones are also in their thirties, because later the Japanese invaders gradually subsided and no longer recruited soldiers, and they have been using these people, with a total of 45,000 people in nine battalions, in the past, they were prepared for the Japanese, and later they were seven battalions for flood control and two battalions for defending the city, and the military salary was nine dollars of silver per month.

Due to the past war, the number of soldiers and recruits in the southeast battalion exceeded the normal period, and there were too many soldiers and too much cost.

Therefore, Wu Shanyan, the governor of the imperial capital, suggested to the imperial court that the local military salary be reduced by one-third.

And the imperial court is now Wanli Tongbao, not the kind of paper money in Asia, it is the Wanli Emperor who gradually felt that the cultural and martial arts have the ability of his ancestors to combine the needs of the imperial court to mint new copper coins, and issued a new copper coin Tongbao.

In Beijing, where there are many copper coins, one Wanli Tongbao can be exchanged for two old coins.

But in Zhejiang, it is the opposite, the exchange of money is priceless, and this price is an old money for two Wanli Tongbao.

At this price, you can't exchange it, because they don't want to use copper coins, there are psychological reasons here, the southeast where the development of the commodity economy is prosperous, people use a lot of silver, even ordinary people who don't have much money in fact, they have to use broken silver to have face.

Originally, the military salary was reduced, and the military salary was also issued Wanli Tongbao, and it was very difficult for these veterans to go to the market to buy things, so they had to make a salary, and the reason for the salary was not that they were not paid, but that they had nowhere to pay the military salary.

They were forced to make a living, so they had to appeal to Zhang Wenxi, the governor of the imperial history, and let them pay silver for the reason that copper coins were not easy to carry, and they had to send back the reduced military salaries, otherwise they would not be able to live.

Zhang Wenxi had no choice, so he found Wu Shanyan in the imperial history again, but Lord Wu was powerful, and he threatened the soldiers: "The salary reduction has been decided, and those who don't want to be soldiers will go home to farm." ”

The soldiers were blown away, and Wu Shanyan and Lord Wu also sent a telegram to the imperial court, demanding that the border army be transferred to Zhejiang along the Cao River to suppress the mutiny.

The Emperor did not hear it, and tore up the telegram.

Anyway, whether he tears it up or not doesn't have much impact on things, it is the court that really cares about this matter, and it has nothing to do with him, the emperor who drives a steamboat and fights baziquan in Tsinghua Garden all day long.

The court was still discussing, and the second telegram came, this time it was not sent by the governor, it was the governor Zhang Wenxi, who impeached the governor Wu Shanyan for not being able to deal with it, and he was insulted.

The word insult, Zhang Wenxi used it very spiritually, won the heart of the emperor, Wan Li Ye read this telegram with a smile on his face all the time, although when the official scolded him, he was very angry, but he saw the supervision of the seventh grade of the imperial history sneered at the beaten governor, and his heart was extremely comfortable.

Zhang Wenxi just said that you, the governor, did not do well, and you deserved to be beaten by the veteran, and you brought it on yourself.

Zhang Wenxi's telegram was sent at noon, and he carefully explained the reasons for Wu Shanyan's performance to reduce military salaries and threaten to pay officers and soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, he talked about how the officers and soldiers of the second battalion of the city guarded under the leadership of the soldiers Ma Wenying and Yang Tingyong gathered early in the morning under the leadership of the soldiers Ma Wenying and Yang Tingyong, set out regulations, issued notices to the people, and colluded with the officers and soldiers guarding the door.

First surrounded the governor's yamen, and then swarmed into the governor's yamen, the soldiers caught Wu Shanyan, who had no time to escape, was a fat beating, and finally Zhang Wenxi and other officials rushed into the military formation, opened their hands and shouted, and finally persuaded other imperial historians to promise to give five months of rations this year, and then the grain merchants borrowed three months of grain.

Zhang Wenxi took out 2,000 yuan and gave it to the officers and soldiers, and asked them to use the money to buy some wine and food first, so that the chaos was extinguished.

And then there was this impeachment.

This is the Wanli Emperor knows, and then the matter is easy to solve, there is no need to think about any suppression, the emperor personally issued an edict to dismiss Wu Shanyan and return to his hometown, and everyone related to this matter should be dismissed, transferred, and fined, and sent the former military department squire, Xuanfu Governor Zhang Jiayin to patrol Zhejiang, quell the rebellion.

Zhang Jiayin didn't bring soldiers or guards, let alone the transfer of troops and jinlishi, he didn't listen, and he drove the carriage to Zhejiang alone.

For no other reason, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was fighting in the north, and the military affairs in various places were still changing.

The emperor was also very interested in this incident, and he thought that this army was a good soldier, so he pardoned two generals and the officers and soldiers who were making trouble, and sent a telegram to them, gathering all those in the army who were under forty years old and transferring them to Jingbei.

Master Wanli's brain circuit is different from others, but it is different here, others think that the mutiny is to be suppressed; Wanli felt that these people had made a fuss when they asked for money, and they did not offend the people...... This is not a good soldier, what is it?

Aren't these people the only people that the Ming Dynasty dreams of?

They may be on the opposite side of the bureaucracy, but the emperor, the biggest landlord in the world, not only did he not think that the mutiny was on the opposite side of himself, but also believed that the mutinous soldiers were his own people.

Who are our enemies and who are our friends?

Wanli wants to do the mediocre and greedy officials, and the people and soldiers at the bottom naturally stand with him.

But Lord Wanli didn't know that during the mutiny, in addition to the officials and the officials and soldiers, there were also a large number of people in the noisy city of Hangzhou who were happy about it.

When the officers and soldiers marched through the streets and alleys, they gathered and shouted to cheer for the officers and soldiers, and when the officers and soldiers beat the governor Wu Shanyan, these people, who would never raise their voices until they starved to death, shouted and cursed loudly for the mistakes of the officials.

In the process, they absorbed the experience of the mutiny, received the inspiration of the mutiny, and prepared silently.

Until this day, the eunuch of the telegraph room of the Forbidden City trembled and sent a telegram from the city of Hangzhou to the Wanli Emperor of Tsinghua Garden.

The telegram used an expired ciphertext, and the cipher reported to the emperor that the telegraph room in Hangzhou was occupied by thieves, and the thieves were Ding Shiqing and Han Jin, who were exiles from Shangyu in Zhejiang, who gathered more than 2,000 people.

The emperor read this telegram through gritted teeth, and clutched the telegram letter to the eunuch Wang An: "Within a month, there was a mutiny, and the officials of Hangzhou City thought that I was blind? ”
