Gao Youcai was dragged out by the guards, and outside the big tent, he was directly beheaded, and the needles in the military tent could be heard.

At this moment, even Zhao Daxian was afraid, and he didn't speak with a calm face.

Then Liang Yizhang ordered people to be named one by one, many of them were newly transferred to Fujian, and the people who were ordered stepped forward to salute, and Liang Yizhang nodded to everyone.

After the name call of the magistrate, Liang Yizhang sat upright, glanced at the generals quite majestically, and then spoke: "The pirates plundered the coast and trapped the city and captured the people. As courtiers, we should share your Majesty's worries and ensure the peace of the party. ”

As he spoke, he raised his voice, "This pavilion is ordered to be the governor of the southeast, grain, grass, ordnance, and soldiers, you don't have to worry, this pavilion will prepare for you, you and other military ministers, just kill the enemy with your life, and calm the pirates early." Today, this pavilion called you to come, it is to make an agreement with you, this pavilion has a lot of supplies for you, if anyone is trapped in the city and loses land, Gao Youcai is a precedent. ”

Liang Yizhang slapped the armrest suddenly, "Your Majesty gave this pavilion Shangfang a sword, which is the person who specializes in retreating from the battle." ”

The generals in the big tent were silent, and they all listened to Liang Yizhang's lecture honestly, and even Wang Deren and Liu Heizi were serious.

Wang Deren has partnered with Liang Yizhang in Sichuan for several years, and he first hugged his fists and said, "Cabinet Department, I guarantee that in my defense area, I will definitely not lose a place." ”

Liu Heizi, Li Chengdong and other generals also hugged their fists and expressed their attitudes, and finally Zhao Daxian also said that he would never lose the city.

Liang Yizhang bowed slightly, "From today onwards, the defense area will be demarcated, Jin Shenghuan and Jin Dudu will still defend Guangxi, monitor the western thieves, Bai Wenxuan will deploy Guangdong as the governor of Baidu, Wang Deren will defend Fujian, and Zhao Daxian and Zhao will be stationed in Zhejiang. Wang Guangtai and Liu Shun, two generals, are flexible and flexible. This officer prepares logistics for you, and you are responsible for specific operations, so you must meet the thieves who come to attack! Whoever has a problem, this cabinet will not be spared. ”

Liang Yizhang has followed Gao Yihuan for many years, has a very high prestige, and has a close relationship with Gao Yihuan, which is not comparable to Ding Qirui's halfway ministers, which is enough to deter the generals.

Many generals clenched their fists solemnly, "Humble and orderly!" ”

After Liang Yizhang finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Lian, Zheng Cai and others, and asked: "To solve the southeast problem and completely eliminate the pirates, it is useless to defend alone, and the attitude of the pavilion and the imperial court is to counterattack." Xiamen is a pirate lair, and this pavilion hopes that the navy will take this place down. ”

Zheng Cai and the others looked embarrassed, and saluted: "Qiqi Division, there are many pirate ships, and the naval battle is strong, unless the Xia Gate is empty, it will be difficult to capture." ”

Liang Yizhang waved his hand, "This pavilion just made a request and dispatched troops for you, how to fight, when to fight, it is your business." However, you must not delay it for too long, within one year, you must see results, and within three years, you must restore peace in the southeast. Otherwise, Your Majesty will ask the Cabinet for the crime, and before the Cabinet leaves office, you will be killed first! ”

Zheng Cai couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and didn't dare to say more.

The generals in the tent were as quiet as a cicada, Liang Yizhang finally glanced at the generals, and said in a slow tone, "The pirates plundered the coast, kidnapped the people, and made the people miserable, which is self-isolation from the world." This cabinet will take the opportunity to publicize, clear the pirates' internal lines, clean up the area, and provide a stable rear for you. You must do things for the court with your heart and relieve the people from hanging. The law of this pavilion is strict, and those who have made mistakes must be punished, and those who have meritorious service must be rewarded. If you want to be knighted and left a name in history, you will exchange merit for merit! ”

~~~~~~

In March, when Liang Yizhang was cleaning up the situation in the southeast, Ding Qirui went to Chang'an under the supervision of Xuan Yiwei and was questioned by the Ministry of Officials.

In the Heavenly Pavilion, Gao Yihuan looked at Ding Qirui's self-judgment and frowned slightly.

When there was an accident in the southeast, Ding Qirui wrote a letter stating the danger in the southeast and hoped that the imperial court could allocate troops, but at that time, the imperial court was busy preparing for the expedition to North Korea.

Soon after the expedition, he heard about it, but it was just a small problem, and he had already arrived in Liaodong, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and only later, the more troublesome it became, he knew the seriousness of the matter.

Gao Yihuan's face was gloomy, and after reading the defense recital, he said coldly: "Go to the recital of Ding Qirui's book, find it for me to see!" ”

Not long after, Song Shu was brought by a female official, and Gao Yihuan was immediately annoyed after reading it.

This kind of feudal official's recital should be distinguished from other recitals, but it is placed under many irrelevant recitals.

Gao Yihuan's face was gloomy, he was responsible for this matter, it may be that he forgot to read it at the time, or it may be that he was misplaced when he sent it up, or it may be that when the female official cleaned it up, he put the fold below.

During the Ming Dynasty, if you want to kill someone, you must have the emperor tick the name with a pen, and only the one who hooks will be killed, and those who do not hook will continue to be imprisoned, so that there are often people who dredge the eunuchs, and when the eunuchs clean up the emperor's table, they put the roster behind, so that the people who should have been killed can live for another year and a half, or even a few years is not a problem.

However, the female official did not have the motive to put this letter under other notes, and Gao Yihuan also believed that it was impossible for the female official to make such a mistake, so it was only possible that he didn't read it himself, or he put it wrong when the cabinet sent it.

"Let Fang Jiayu come to see me!" Gao Yihuan stood on the top floor of the Heavenly Pavilion with his hands in his hands, looking down at his country, and suddenly commanded.

The Xuanyi Guard Command Post is just outside the Imperial Palace, only separated from the Heavenly Pavilion by a wall.

In order to control all kinds of news, Gao Yihuan ordered someone to open a small side door for Xuan Yiwei, so that Xuan Yiwei could report to him at any time.

Not long after, Fang Jiayu came to the Heavenly Pavilion, saw Gao Yihuan's back, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty! ”

Gao Yihuan turned his back to him and asked calmly: "I asked you to continue to investigate the military funding case before, but there is any progress?" ”

Fang Jiayu bowed and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, there are already some eyebrows, in the prison of the Criminal Department where Zhao Mingrui is held, some prisoners said that someone had seen Zhao Mingrui on the eve of Zhao Mingrui's suicide!" ”

"Who is it?" Gao Yihuan frowned.

Fang Jiayu replied: "The criminal department will give Liu Yumo in the matter!" ”

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "What motive can there be in a small gift, who is the person behind him?" ”

Fang Jiayu hesitated and didn't answer immediately, Gao Yihuan turned around and looked at him coldly.

Fang Jiayu hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and the ministers have no conclusive evidence, so they dare not involve the ministers at will." ”

Gao Yihuan said coldly: "I let you say it!" ”

Fang Jiayu said: "Liu Yumo is a scholar of Chongzhen's sixteenth year, and he was recommended by Chen Ge Lao to enter the court, and the minister suspects that it is Chen Ge Lao. ”

Gao Yihuan let out a heavy breath and said with a gloomy face, "Put Liu Yumo in prison and try it well!" ”
