Chapter 525: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron (I)
After the twentieth day of the lunar month, this New Year's Festival is getting closer and closer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
There has always been a saying among the people that the New Year is sad, because at this time, the foreign debts you owe for a year will always be forced to be repaid by the creditors, and the story of the white-haired girl in later generations is also based on this custom.
However, as people in the government, Jin Yiwei has little experience in this, but he doesn't want them to have a hard time at this time this year. It's just that what they owe to the outside world is not a silver debt like ordinary people, but a grudge that is even more troublesome.
Before, how hard they suppressed Dongchang and how much they made money on the other party, this time, as Dongchang took the initiative, they returned it as much or even doubled.
Although the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division is full of manpower, and there are many bows and crossbows and other weapons, so that Dongchang Fanzi does not dare to really attack, but the thousands of Jinyi Wei people can't all shrink into the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, so the people who stay outside are unlucky.
Many people were bullied by the people of Dongchang under various pretexts, and as long as they dared to fight back, they were often either beaten to death, or they were arrested by the major yamen who rushed to hear the news, and then they were thrown into prison and never came out again. And after tasting such sweetness, Dongchang, which hated Jinyiwei to the core, stepped up its crackdown on Jinyiwei who fell outside, and some of the family members of the high-ranking officials in Beijing who just hung up a Jinyiwei title also suffered from the pond fish.
In addition, Dongchang also learned to deal with himself before Jinyiwei, and also arranged a lot of eyeliner outside the Zhenfu Division. However, these eyeliners are not to grasp any tricks, but to directly pick quarrels and provoke trouble. Usually always looking for an opportunity to throw some stones and tiles to the side of the Zhenfu Division, not to mention the anger, once they find the Jinyi guards who come out, they will immediately rush up to attack the target.
As a result, Jinyiwei can be described as miserable. Although they had been poorly pressed by the guys in Dongchang before, they didn't come to this point. And what makes them even more unacceptable is that now they are no longer the same plate of loose sand as they were at the beginning, as long as they are out of the way, they can still fight with those hateful bastards in Dongchang. But the pacification of Yang Zhen, who has always advocated taking the initiative to attack, explicitly forbade them to clash with Dongchang again during this period of time, which made everyone feel aggrieved.
People are often like this, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift difficult. When you are always being bullied, if someone organizes you to fight, after a few attempts and victories, you will be emboldened, and you will no longer be afraid to fight hard against your opponents. But once you lose the ability to resist again at this time, and you are pressed to the ground and beaten again, this sense of powerlessness and anger will be several times stronger than before, and even strict orders may not be able to cover it.
When the time came to the 25th of the lunar month, and Dongchang's suppression of their own family still did not relax in the slightest, Cai Yingyang, Xia Kai and others, who had always obeyed Yang Zhen's will, couldn't stand it anymore, and they came to Yang Zhen's public hall again with several other thousands of households, and solemnly proposed to him to take people out and fight with Dongchang to the end.
"My lord, we can't avoid it like this anymore, otherwise I'm afraid that people's hearts will be completely dispersed."
"Yes, my lord, you don't want our Jinyiwei to go back to the past, seeing the guys in the East Factory is the same as seeing the cat, right?"
"My lord, those bastards from Dongchang have begun to attack our family, yesterday Gou San'er's house was smashed by the people of Dongchang, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that other brothers' families, even your lord, your house may be violated by the bastards of Dongchang."
"Second brother, we can't bear it anymore, the guy who is shouting outside is nothing at all, as long as I go out, I can beat them all down at that time."
"My lord, the brothers can't stand it anymore, even if it is a war with the yamen in the entire capital, it is much better than being bullied to the head like this now, but they can't even resist."
"My lord, let's go out......"
"Adult ......"
Looking at everyone's words and me, they were babbling and asking for battle, but Yang Zhen's expression was still the same, and he didn't see the slightest excitement, but he kept sweeping on everyone's faces, as if he was judging whether what they said was sincere.
After being glanced at by him with such a strange look, these excited brothers gradually quieted down, but the anger and thirst in their eyes did not diminish a little.
After watching them for a long time, Yang Zhen finally laughed: "It seems that you are really forced by Dongchang's behavior, and you have dared to start a war against all the Yamen in Beijing, which is really bold." β
"My lord, this is also the nonsense that the brothers are angry for a while, but it doesn't mean that we really want to be enemies with them......" Thinking that Yang Zhen was going to blame them for saying such inconsetrical words, Qianhu Yu Yao hurriedly argued for everyone.
When he said this, others also came back to their senses, and they all said that the only thing they really hated was Dongchang, and even if they went out, they would not be enemies with a public security yamen like Shuntianfu, and asked Yang Zhen to rest assured.
But after listening to their explanation, Yang Zhen shook his head with some disappointment: "It seems that after experiencing this incident, you still haven't understood how serious the situation in front of us is......
"Huh?" Everyone heard that there was something else in his words, and they were all stunned: "What do you mean?" β
"What I want to say is that if we really want to start a war with Dongchang this time, we will actually be against the entire Beijing officialdom! Think about it, how powerful are the people in the court who can get so many yamen to cooperate with Dongchang to embarrass us, but can one Feng Bao do it? β
Faced with Yang Zhen's question, everyone was stunned again. They really didn't think about this issue carefully, and they only cared about being angry and unforgiving about Dongchang's power. And now after being broken by him, many people's faces have changed: "Could it be that it is the cabinet ......?"
"Actually, I have already gotten the exact news, it was Feng Bao who asked Zhang Juzheng for help, which led to the current situation. So if we want to fight Dongchang today, in fact, the real enemy we face is not only Dongchang and Feng Bao, but the Zhang Juzheng behind them. If you want to let go, you have to understand this, and you have to be mentally prepared enough to fight with the cabinet and the entire officialdom in the capital! Yang Zhen was expressionless, and said these words in a calm tone.
And these subordinates, who were still in turmoil, changed their faces again after hearing this. How could they not know how powerful Zhang Juzheng was when they were in the capital? It can even be said that Zhang Juzheng is the real ruler of the Ming Empire today, and Wanli in the Forbidden City is just his puppet.
Such a behemoth suddenly appeared in front of him, and he still had to fight him, no matter how brave he was, no matter how carried away by anger, he would also retreat.
After pointing out this fact, Yang Zhen was also carefully observing the reactions of his subordinates. He knew very well that he would one day become an enemy of Zhang Juzheng, so this time he took this opportunity to let everyone get used to this first, and also took the opportunity to plant the seeds of being enemies with Zhang Juzheng in the hearts of his brothers.
It's just that everyone's timid appearance still made Yang Zhen slightly disappointed. I have done so much before, constantly boosting their morale, and letting them fight with Dongchang, just to tell them that there is no authority that Jinyiwei cannot fight against. Why is it that as soon as I mention Zhang Juzheng now, the arrogance of these people is completely eliminated?
Just as Yang Zhen was about to say something more to alleviate this suppressed emotion, a voice suddenly sounded: "What if he Zhang Ju is the first assistant of the court?" Our Jinyi Wei is not under his control, but we have the right to supervise him, and we are afraid that he will not succeed? β
Everyone followed the sound and saw Cai Yingyang talking there with a serious face: "Second brother, as long as you speak, what Dongchang, what cabinet, we will all kill him!" β
Although the latter sentence seems a little naΓ―ve, the previous sentence is said in everyone's hearts, and it also wakes up everyone - Jinyiwei is not an ordinary yamen, and there is no need to worry about any officialdom rules or cabinet chiefs. As long as the Son of Heaven is still willing to use them and trust them, what does it have to do with being an enemy of the Manchu Dynasty?
Yang Zhen also glanced at Cai Yingyang in some surprise, and then understood, I was afraid that this was not from Cai Yingyang's heart, but someone taught him to say so. As for the person who taught him to say such big things, I am afraid that only Shen Yan was not at the scene.
This Mr. Shen had already seen the current situation clearly, and he also knew the difficult choice that Jinyiwei would face, so he used Cai Yingyang's mouth to help him.
"It seems that Mr. Shen's determination is even stronger than mine, but I'm afraid that he also has deep hostility towards Zhang Juzheng because of Zheng Fang's incident at the beginning." With such a thought in his heart, Yang Zhen's gaze still did not relax at all, and swept over the faces of all his subordinates as usual.
Not to mention, after being encouraged by Cai Yingyang like this, everyone's spirits were full again, although they hadn't said those words yet, but the fighting spirit and fighting spirit in their eyes were re-burned.
"My lord......" After seeing him speechless for a long time, Xia Kai planned to say something more. It was only as soon as he opened his mouth that Yang Zhen had already waved his hand to interrupt his words: "I can see that you have already made up your mind to fight back." β
"Exactly! It's a big deal, fight with them! My lord, if you have any plans, just say it, none of our brocade guards are of a bad breed! β
"Good!" The corners of Yang Zhen's mouth turned up slightly: "Actually, I already had this idea, but I also know that it is not a good way to fight hard with Dongchang this time, and there is no cheap money to be made." So if we fight them this time, we can only outwit the invincible enemy. β
"What do you mean by ......"
"Draw salary at the bottom of the kettle, except for Feng Bao first, the East Factory is naturally nothing!" Yang Zhen finally stopped hiding it anymore, and said coldly: "And my plan has already begun, presumably Feng Bao's situation will only be worse than ours now!" β
