For Mu Tianyan's arrangement, everyone has no opinion, as long as they can send away the plague god under the city, everything is negotiable, they should spend money to buy peace, the governor of the family has even lost his official position, and a few thousand taels of silver is nothing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Only Gao Shunqin threw down a sentence: "Gao is an official, and his income is meager, and he can't compare to the wealth of all the adults, and he can't afford the three thousand taels of silver." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Everyone was stunned, and then they left their anger: thousands of officers and soldiers were killed, countless houses were blown up, and the governor was forced to resign, and finally appeased the evil god under the city, but it was just a few thousand taels of silver, and he wanted to stay out of the matter!

Yu Baocheng was indignant, and said in a low voice: "I don't know who instigated the Taiwan to send troops to suppress it, and broke into trouble, leaving it to the mess for us, and patting his ass and wanting to leave...... "If it were usual, he would never dare to slander a patrol imperial history like this." The Imperial Inspectorate is a branch of the Daoyan official sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inspect the prefecture and county, and the special officials to inspect the impeachment, may not be able to determine the promotion of officials, but can influence the stay of officials, and the status is transcendent.

"People are officials, and they are extremely noble, so naturally they can't be with us people." Mu Tianyan looked at Gao Shunqin's departing back and said with a calm face.

In fact, he could also guess Gao Shunqin's thoughts: as a speech official, if he could easily take out three thousand taels of silver, it would be tantamount to giving people a handle and affecting his future. But where do you put them? Everyone is a corrupt official, highlighting his incorruptibility? This person can't be kept, and he must find a way to squeeze out of Guangdong officialdom.

turned his head to Yu Bao's transaction: "His share is counted on my head." At the moment of the foreign enemy, first send away the evil gods outside the city. This statement attracted praise from other officials, who said that the people of Muta were responsible.

Yu Baocheng responded, but he made up his mind in his heart, the three thousand taels and the five thousand taels of Mu Daren's own five thousand taels were apportioned to the merchants, Wang Zhengtai fell, and the new system did not know who it was.

Under the city.

Everyone didn't know the faces of the big and small officials, but they were all stunned when they watched Wang Zunde disappear into the city tower--a few words from their own master, he actually let the governor who held the military and political power of Liangguang resign in public! Although this is just a statement, the dignified governor, if he doesn't say that what he said is Jinkou, it is also a spit and a nail, and it is impossible to regret it afterwards.

Much later, William wrote in his memoirs: "...... In this particular war, we defeated this huge city with very few troops, forcing the governor to resign in place of the emperor. You know, he ruled twice as much as the whole of Great Britain...... This is an amazing achievement and I am proud to be able to witness this great moment! ”

The 100,000 taels of silver were quickly scraped together and sent out by several officials in the city. Yu Baocheng of the Southern Dynasty City Tower beckoned in the summer, "Lord Prefect, there will be a period later!" "Lead the convoy to lead the large and small artillery and fly away.

The general of the defending army asked unwillingly: "My lord, this distance is just right, do you want to fire a few shots?" ”

Yu Baocheng didn't care about decency, jumped up and slapped him, and scolded: "You are a street fighter, you don't have a brain!" You fired a shot to try, and it angered the evil god, and the officer tied you up and shot you out of the cannon! ”

The general touched his cheeks, but he didn't dare to speak again.

On the Pearl River, the fleet sailed proudly, and in the summer Nan and everyone stood on the bow of the "Lingao", full of spirit.

"I don't quite understand, why do you have to force Wang Zunde to resign and ask for 100,000 taels of compensation?" Lin Weiye held back for a long time and always wanted to ask this question.

Xia Nan looked at the faintly visible outlet to the sea and said with a smile: "If you regard the bombardment of Guangzhou as a lawsuit caused by commercial competition, the resignation of the governor as an apology from the chairman of the other party, and the 100,000 taels of silver as the economic compensation of the losing party, is it easier for you to understand?" ”

Lin Weiye held his chin in his hand and thought for a while, "Although this analogy is far-fetched, it seems to be understandable." ”

"In fact, even if I don't come to Guangzhou, with the influence of the Battle of Bofu, I can survive until Wang Zunde gets out of class, He Rubin's backer is down, the grain and grass are not good, and he has no intention of fighting, and he will withdraw to Guangdong. However, as soon as the new governor comes, he will most likely strengthen his precautions against me, and he will not necessarily send troops to attack again, but it is very likely that we will continue to prohibit our trading in Guangzhou, and even block the trade between Guangzhou and Lingao. ”

Lin Weiye understood: "So Wang Zunde's resignation and compensation of 100,000 taels are of greater symbolic significance, are we here to demonstrate in Guangzhou?" ”

"The greatest gain this time was that they completely dispelled the idea of Guangdong going to war with us through two battles on the water and land, and the shelling of mortars and artillery destroyed their confidence even more -- they could not fight if they went out of the city, and they would be bombed if they defended the city--they did not dare to confront us head-on. In the future, no matter who succeeds me as governor, my store in Guangzhou will continue to open steadily. ”

Lin Weiye gave a thumbs up: "It's still the boss who is far-sighted and smart!" It is said that war is a continuation of politics, and now I really understand that every war has a purpose, and there must be economic interests behind it. ”

Xia Nanyang was proud: "If you start a war without a clear purpose, it is called reckless military force, and it will only lead to extinction in the end." ”

The war that took place in Guangzhou in July of the fifth year of Chongzhen triggered a reshuffle in Guangdong officialdom. After all, Wang Zunde did not take the initiative to resign as he said, or before he had time to resign, the will of the imperial court had already arrived.

Due to the defeat of crossing the sea to suppress the thieves and the fiasco outside the city of Guangzhou, Wang Zunde was dismissed from his official post without any suspense, but Guangzhou did not fall into the hands of thieves, Chongzhen did not escort him to the capital to be beheaded, but only cut off all official positions, and the long list of official positions and envoys above his head -- the right attendant of the military department and the right servant of the imperial history, the governor of Liangguang military affairs, and the governor of Guangdong -- were swept to the end. At the same time, He Rubin, who had lost the battle and returned to Guangzhou in ashes, was also dismissed from his post as chief soldier.

The direct reason for Wang Zunde's resignation was because of Bofu's pirates, so Xiong Wencan, who became famous by successfully appeasing Zheng Zhilong, became the best candidate to succeed as the governor of Liangguang. Xiong Wencan went from being a political envoy to the governor of Fujian and then to the governor of Liangguang, which took less than five years, and he was in the limelight for a while.

However, due to the poor performance of his predecessor, it also had a negative impact on his performance of duties: in view of Wang Zunde's arbitrary behavior during the invasion of pirates, Emperor Chongzhen reinstated himself as a full-time governor of Guangdong, and no longer served as a governor, in order to balance the power structure of Guangdong. Zuo Bu's political envoy Mu Tianyan successfully picked up the leaks and got the post of governor.
