However, the entire southeast can be said to be in Luo Xin's hands, so Luo Xin is not afraid of the city division nominally returning to Xu Jie. Moreover, Emperor Jiajing is not a fool, it is impossible to let the two lifelines of the Northern Mutual Market and the Southern City Bosi be in Luo Xin's hands. And Luo Xin will not grab that nominal position, even if Xu Jie's fall in the future, Luo Xin will not grab that position with Gao Gong.

Moreover, in the south, north, and 613 provinces, although the people of the Fuxing Society are not high-ranking officials now, they also occupy the backbone of the local area. Moreover, even some local high-ranking officials have defected to Luo Xin, so that Luo Xin's power is growing steadily.

Only in the capital, Luo Xin's business is worse, which is also because Luo Xin has too little time in the capital.

However, even so, Luo Xin now completely controls the James Mansion, basically mastering the Hanlin Academy, and the control of the Ministry of Rites is much worse. As for the rest of the department, there is little control.

"Now is a great opportunity!"

But let who come back, and how many?

This not only has to consider the ability of his brothers and their current status, but also whether Emperor Jiajing agrees.

In the end, Luo Xin was ready to let Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun come back, although the abilities of these two people were not the top, they were also excellent, and the most important thing was that these two people were his own hair and were the people he trusted the most.

can only mobilize these two people, and now it is completely impossible to transfer through Gao Gong and Xu Jie. It's good if these two don't stumble. Therefore, if Luo Xin wants to mobilize Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun, he must report directly to Emperor Jiajing and let Emperor Jiajing appoint him.

Would Emperor Jiajing not know that Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun were Luo Xin's people?

You'll know!

In this way, Luo Xin naturally did not dare to propose more places, and he could not only have two people, but also more people, and the remaining places were handed over to Emperor Jiajing for appointment, so that he could gain the trust of Emperor Jiajing and smoothly transfer Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun back.

With an idea in his heart, the next day, Luo Xin did not go to the Ministry of Rites, but went to the palace first to meet Emperor Jiajing.

"Got an idea?" Seeing that Luo Xin came to see him early in the morning, Emperor Jiajing's eyes showed a look of expectation.

Luo Xin's gaze swept around, and Emperor Jiajing waved his hand towards Huang Jin. Huang Jin blasted out all the eunuchs in the imperial study, and then he closed the door of the imperial study and stood there himself.

"A little bit of an idea!" Luo Xin said softly.

"Oh?" Emperor Jiajing's expression perked up and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Luo Xin nodded, and then said solemnly: "However, if Your Majesty thinks that this plan is feasible, only Your Majesty and your ministers can know about it. Once the secret is leaked, I am afraid it will cause a big mess. ”

"Yes, I understand."

"Your Majesty, the south is now densely populated, and the southern guard has the largest number of soldiers, and there is no land to distribute to them at all.

However, in the past few years of continuous wars in the north, Alatan Khan and Huang Taiji have been slaughtered twice, the population of the north is ten rooms and nine empty, not only the northern guards have suffered heavy casualties, there are not many guards left, and those northern clans have been killed, and more have sold their fields and fled to the south. Therefore, there is a large amount of land in the north, and it is ownerless fields, which have been barren all these years. ”

"What do you mean?" Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up.

"Pull all the people who have been laid off from the southern guard to the north, and give them land. With the land, they will have no resentment, and eighty percent will be very happy and grateful to His Majesty. ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly, his eyes releasing a gleam of joy. However, then his expression became serious again:

"But these people have lived in the south for a long time, are they willing to come to the north?"

"If we go south like this and tell those people, they won't want to! Who knows, when they go to the north, the court will not give them the land. And no one wants to leave their homeland, even if they are miserable in their hometown. ”

"yes!" Emperor Jiajing nodded and said, "Then what can you do?" ”

"Two steps!" Luo Xin said softly: "The first step is to ask His Majesty to give the minister a six-part holy decree. ”

"Six Decrees?" Emperor Jiajing's eyes widened.

"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "The content of these six holy decrees is the same, when the time comes, you will be divided into six directions and go to the six southern provinces."

These days, Jinyiwei has collected the crime of embezzlement of military attachés above the small banner of the six southern provinces. If the evidence of the crime is true, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, all of them can be sentenced to the crime of beheading.

These people deceived their superiors and subordinates, embezzled and accepted bribes in an open and honest manner, and even disregarded people's lives and killed them, and none of them were wrong. ”

"This first step is for our people to go to the six southern provinces with His Majesty's holy decree, and kill all these people who should be killed under the pretext of invading the border with the northern steppes and mobilizing the army of the guard to fight in the north. The remaining ordinary soldiers lost their backbone without the military attache to take the lead, and they could not get back. It can guarantee that we will bring the 700,000 soldiers of the Southern Guard Station to the south safely. ”

"Are you asking me to issue a decree to transfer troops?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "So keep it a secret." ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded, this news naturally could not be revealed, and he himself knew that he had been fighting with the family for power all his life. Since the fall of Yan Song, although the fall of Yan Song was Emperor Jiajing's idea, Emperor Jiajing also felt that as he got old, those families were ready to move, and in the process of dealing with Yan Song, he had to admit that Emperor Jiajing was persecuted by the family.

So, confidentiality is a must.

"Luo Xin, this matter is not easy to keep secret! I am afraid that within a moment of your departure from Beijing, the contents of the decree will be known to the Cabinet, and the Cabinet will know it, and everyone who should know it will also know it.

With the wisdom of those families, I am afraid that if you think about it carefully, you will come up with the truth. After all, the north is still very safe, and the mutual markets are open. ”

Luo Xin also frowned and thought for a moment and said: "Then it is said that Goryeo sent troops again, Your Majesty gave the minister a secret decree, and the minister asked him to take it to see Ma Fang and let Ma Fang cooperate with us." We don't need much time, just pull the guards out of the south, and that's it. It's already on the road, so it's up to them. ”

"And what about the second step?"

"The second step, after bringing the soldiers of the guard to the north, gave them a hundred acres of land, which was definitely a huge surprise for them. They will no longer complain, they will only rejoice.

Then ask them to write a letter to their family, and put everyone's tokens in the letter. A small number of soldiers were selected, two from each guard post, and then the 350,000 soldiers from the northern guard post at the border pass were immediately drawn and told that they would not be dismissed. And 100,000 of them will stay in the South.

Let these 350,000 people return to the south together with letters and tokens, plus two people from each of the guards in the south.

The families of the soldiers of the Southern Guards, when they saw the letters, the tokens, and the two familiar people from each of the Guards who followed them back, those families would believe it, and then organize those families to migrate to the north.

In this way, the disarmament of the guard can come to an end. ”
