Chapter 1316: Preparation
Nanjing is a very special place, the original capital of the Ming Dynasty was in Nanjing, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, the imperial capital was moved to Beijing.
However, Nanjing's bureaucratic system is still in place, just like Beijing's. Although nominally it is also under the jurisdiction of the Southern Economic Strategy, in fact, no one wants to touch this special place of Nanjing.
Hu Zongxian made it clear that he didn't care about the Nanjing army, and Xu Pengju did not accept Hu Zongxian's control. Hu Zongxian also has no way to take Xu Pengju, let alone Hu Zongxian, even if it is Emperor Jiajing, as long as Xu Pengju and the descendants of the founding fathers do not make too much trouble, Emperor Jiajing will turn a blind eye.
It is those civil officials who are snorting in front of the generals all day long, but in front of these founding fathers, they also maintain respect, because these people are really strong, and they are the country that Taizu has laid down, they don't have any reason with you, which makes the civil officials very headache.
Therefore, when the disarmament was at the beginning, Emperor Jiajing and Luo Xin discussed it, and they both threw out the army in Nanjing first, waiting for the army of the guard to be cut off, and the good influence was created, so that those soldiers heard the benefits and were envious.
Even after Luo Xin passed a little south, he consciously avoided Nanjing. Who knew that something would happen in Nanjing!
"How's it going?" Luo Xin looked at Jinyiwei, who had escaped from Nanjing to deliver the letter, and asked.
"The rebel army has broken through Nanjing, but not the inner city."
Luo Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and did not break through the inner city, indicating that those officials should be fine, it is not that Luo Xin looks down on the people, but in Daming is such a rule, it is not a big problem to kill some people, but to kill a few officials, it is a big deal.
However, when he thought of those people in the outer city, Luo Xin was also covered in sweat. He took a deep breath and said:
"What about the people of the outer city?"
"I wasn't harassed by the rebels."
There was no harassment, which couldn't help but surprise Luo Xin, when did the rebel army have such quality?
"Not really." The brocade guard shook his head and said, "It's because these soldiers are from Nanjing, and they don't treat their fathers and fellow villagers well." ”
Luo Xin fell into deep thought, Yu Dayou and Luo Zhi sat aside, and an anxious look appeared on their faces.
"Don't ......"
Luo Xin waved his hand, letting the brocade guard retreat first, and then frowned and thought about it, Luo Zhi and Yu Dayou looked at each other, the two of them were a little inexplicable, the Nanjing soldiers were in turmoil, at this time, what is there to think?
Hurry up and send troops!
"Lord Luo......"
"What do you think?" Luo Xin suddenly said to Yu Dayou.
"What do you think?" Yu Dayou was a little inexplicable.
"What do you think of this rebellion?" Luo Xin looked at Yu Dayou and was a little speechless.
Yu Dayou's face turned red and said: "These days, we only care about sending military salaries to Hu Butang, and ignore Nanjing......
No!
This is not a rebellion, it is only a noise, and it is not surprising, we should now bring troops to suppress this time as soon as possible. ”
"Do we have the money?"
"Nope!"
"So what are we going to do about it? Did you really bring troops to destroy them? ”
"Extinguished?" Yu Dayou's face changed and said: "That's 100,000 people, we don't have so many soldiers now, and the soldiers are all in Guangdong and Jiangxi." ”
"Don't you have three thousand cavalry?"
"Three thousand ......" Yu Dayou opened his mouth widely: "Nanjing is 100,000 ......"
"It's not a big deal, I dared to kick the 200,000 battalion of Alatan Khan with 2,000 people."
"Oh......" Yu Dayou's face froze.
"It's just not that simple." Luo Xin frowned and thought.
"Isn't it easy?" Yu Dayou was stunned.
"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "The food and salary of Nanjing Jiuwei are directly allocated from the Nanjing garrison, which has become a rule during the Hu Butang period. And according to the brocade guard just now, Nanjing Jiuwei's food and salary have not been paid for two months, which is not enough to make such a big incident. If no one is behind the scenes, it doesn't make sense. ”
"What do you mean?"
A smile appeared on Luo Xin's face and said, "Some people just want to take advantage of the current chaos in the south, so why can't I take advantage of it?" ”
"Daqing!"
"Sir!" Lu Daqing walked in.
"Do you remember how to make the gunpowder recipe?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Okay, let's go buy as many materials as possible, and in the next three days, we're going to make some firearms."
"Me!" Lu Daqing retreated.
"Lord Luo, you...... Really want to fight? ”
"Not necessarily!" Luo Xin shook his head and fell into deep thought again.
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"
"Huh?" Luo Xin looked at Yu Dayou.
"You just said that someone took advantage of the chaos in the South......"
"It's just my speculation."
"That'...... Can you tell us about it? Yu Dayou looked at Luo Xin expectantly.
Luo Xin smiled: "Of course you can, just don't say it." ”
"I understand!" Yu Dayou said seriously: "I am a soldier. ”
Luo Xin also nodded, as a general, secrecy is the most basic criterion. Luo Xin organized the language and said:
"It was ostensibly meant to make a noise, but it wasn't. Military pay is only a small matter for them, and they ask for a lot. ”
"They? Who is it? ”
"The officers and soldiers of the entire Nanjing!" Luo Xin sighed and said: "The army in the south is still able to fight with the people of Hu Butang, and the others are really rotten, rotten to the roots." ”
"The whole officer and soldier?" Yu Dayou was surprised.
"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "It can be said that the upper and lower are united, although their demands are different. ”
"Aren't they in it for military pay?" Yu Dayou still muttered in disbelief.
Luo Xin shook his head, and said with a look of disappointment in his eyes: "Even if it is those ordinary soldiers, their appeal is not a simple noise!" ”
"That'...... What else could they ask for? ”
"Never disarm!" Luo Xin said word by word.
Yu Dayou opened his mouth, his face full of shock.
"When the people arrived in Nanjing, one of the conditions put forward by the noisy soldiers must be that they will never be disarmed, otherwise they will not withdraw to the camp.
But ......"
Luo Xin stared at Yu Dayou with burning eyes and said, "Can I agree?" ”
Yu Dayou was silent, in fact, even he could see that after the southern guard moved north, once it was completely stabilized, the imperial court would definitely disarm the nine guards in Nanjing.
"My lord, I heard that the soldiers who were laid off in the southern guard station have been allocated a hundred acres of fertile land in the north?"
"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "And the imperial court also gave them severance pay, just the severance pay is enough for them to build a house." ”
