When Wang Tong was there, he was the main subordinate of the Huwei Army, although the identity of each regiment was different, but in front of Wang Tong, he only had the position of obeying orders. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nowadays, the forbidden army is equivalent to the direct management of the Son of Heaven, from Li Hutou to Han Gang, the actual official position and status are different, but the positions are almost equal to each other, and they can't say anything to each other.

Li Hutou has no background in his family, and there are no intimate figures, his father Li Wenyuan's position is not as high as his, he and Han Gang are Wang Tong's department, Li Tao's side is the world's first-class general, his father and brother are both in the position of the general general, and they are illustrious, Sun Xin is here to be more familiar with the middle and lower-level officers in Beijing, and Qi Wu here, although it is Wang Tong's personal guard, but he also has the shadow of Jizhen behind him, and Tan Bing who guards Shanxi, the Tan family will be a piece, but judging by these years, The Naturalized City Business Group and the Shanxi Business Group had a close relationship with him, or provided a lot of support.

These backgrounds and relationships are not simply annual exchanges, the expansion of each regiment, the promotion of generals at all levels, and the promotion of those who are close to them in each regiment to a greater or lesser extent.

This is understandable, when it comes to the battlefield, who doesn't want their subordinates to be obedient and commanded more easily.

Wang Tong also acquiesced to this, because the backbone officers of each regiment are still the old foundation of the Huwei Army, and he doesn't have to worry about his own command, and it is not a bad thing to appropriately delegate power to the people below.

Among them, because many of the teenagers from the Huwei Martial Arts Hall are serving in the Huwei Army, the Xuanfu generals brought by Li Tao are naturally in his regiment, and the same is true of the Jingying disciples on Bie Xin's side, "Both sides are headed by the two most outstanding people, Qiao Xin and Li Tao."

The two regiments of Li Tao and Sun Xin are also the second and third strongest regiments of the Huwei Army, "with the most old foundations and the deepest understanding of the tactics of the Huwei Army."

When they were in the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, the relationship between Li Tao and Sun Xin was general, "Later, under the command of Wang Tong, although they were a lot closer, once people have their own world, and there are contradictions and interests with each other, this closeness is like that."

Don't say that it is the two of them, even if the rest of Wang Tong's personal guards serve as the deputy head of the regiment, they are also close to each other.

Wang Tong naturally knows all about these, but these are not things that can be told to Emperor Wanli, Wanli himself can understand the best, if he can't and there is no way, if from another point of view, the various regiments of the Huwei Army system are not compatible with each other, maybe Emperor Wanli would prefer to see such a situation.

So what Wang Tong can say is a sentence of "nonsense", but looking at Emperor Wanli's reaction, he really doesn't care much about this matter, it's just a casual talk today. ……………………

This conversation talked about the time when the gate of the imperial city was closed, and Emperor Wanli was obviously happy to talk about it, and after Wang Tong left, "There is no one in the palace who can let him talk for so long."

It is said that Shen Shixing, the first assistant of the cabinet, has been the first assistant for almost eight years, although Shen Shixing is quiet, in the government, and even in private life, it is low-key and abnormal, but the first assistant is the first assistant after all, and in this position, "the influence will expand outward, and unconsciously penetrate into all aspects."

Now many key positions in the DPRK are already his people, and there are also Shen Shixing's disciples and grandchildren in charge of power, "His house slave Moumou also has the reputation of You Qi back then." Starting

The meaning of Emperor Wanli's words is very clear, he will not let Shen Shixing do it for ten years "According to Wanli's judgment, one person in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet has done it for too long, and controlling the government will cause too much damage to the imperial power, from Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Zhang Juzheng, he will not let Shen Shixing also have this opportunity."

But whether it is what Emperor Wanli said, or what Wang Tong learned through various channels in Songjiang, Shen Shixing himself also has the intention of resigning, staying in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet for too long, it is difficult to die well, and the previous examples also prove this, everyone is a smart person.

After Shen Shixing, who should inherit the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, there is no need to argue about this, the second assistant of the cabinet, Wang Xijue, has already accumulated enough prestige, and the evaluation of the central ministers is almost unanimous with the government and the opposition.

In the past, when Emperor Wanli chose the first and auxiliary candidates, he would also ask Wang Tong's opinion, but now, Emperor Wanli has already made a final decision, and talking to Wang Tong is just a chatter.

It is also mentioned that Pan Jitao, who used to be the secretary of the Ministry of Works, published a book at this time, which was about river workers, called "River Work Priorities".

This Pan Jitao is also one of the big Gu promoted by Zhang Siwei that year, and Shen Shixing and Wang Tong's contradictions are quite deep, when the dynasty fights, there are a lot of struggles, but this person is very careful in the governance of the Yellow River, is a rare practical minister, Ming Shi in the river work of a lot of silver, all the work related to the river work, are a first-class fat shortage, but this Pan Ji taming is quite self-disciplined, to achieve the position of Shangshu, if the family is poor, it is really a deception, but Pan Jitao's family is at most a rich man.

This year, a book will be printed, engraving and lettering, the project is not small, and the cost is even more, this is not something that Pan Jitao can afford, or there are good people and rich businessmen who funded and printed this book.

Emperor Wanli said that this was just gossip, Wang Tong also accompanied the chatter a few words, in fact, Pan Jitao's book was written five years ago, but there were big changes, why there was such a big change, because Pan Jitao learned some of the situation in the Tianjin Health Bureau's manufacturing bureau through the channel of the Ministry of Industry.

The weapons workshop presided over by Ren Lang, a member of the Ministry of Works, has not been able to catch up with the Sanjiang Workshop in terms of manufacturing capacity and manufacturing technology, but it is not too bad, because Ren is willing to learn and improve all the time, and apply the new things of the Sanjiang Workshop to the government-run workshop.

Moreover, Ren Yuan never deducted the wages of the craftsmen, and the factory of the manufacturing bureau still had the opportunity to do private work, and the salary was higher than that of other places, and the craftsmen were also motivated to work.

According to the records of the Ministry of Industry, in the factories in the world, only the weapons made by Tianjin Wei are of the most refined quality and the most standardized, and the military camps in border towns are willing to use Tianjin Wei, and are even willing to pay for it, not to mention that "the blades and firearms used by the Beijing camp and the forbidden army are made by Tianjin Wei."

This qualified quality is also related to the largest output, "the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Pan Jitao also understands the practice, in the various government-run workshops in the Ming Dynasty, the excellent must not have a large output, and the output must not take care of the quality, but I don't know how Tianjin Wei did this.

In fact, the conclusion is not complicated, but the system is complete, never deducted, and there is a unity of weights and measures, and there are many norms learned from the West, etc.

These things look simple" but not easy to execute, but they have given Pan Jitao a lot of inspiration, and the river workers can do the same.

Because of these inspirations, Pan Jitao rewrote nearly seventy percent of the content of the almost completed book "River Engineering Priorities", and also sent people to Tianjin Wei to Songjiang Mansion many times to inquire, after all, Wang Tong has the most "new" craftsmen around him, and he can provide a lot of experience and reference.

Although there is a disagreement on political opinions, Wang Tong absolutely supports this kind of practical and technical matter, and has always cooperated with it, never making it difficult or refusing.

In fact, the publication of the book "River Engineering Priorities" is also related to Wang Tong's funding, "Of course, after leaving Beijing, Wang Tong cannot blatantly give money to the past, and there must be one, "Jingshi Rich Businessman" came forward.

The bell and drum that was about to close the palace door sounded, and Emperor Wanli's conversation was strong, but Wang Tong took the initiative to get up and say goodbye, "It's not the past now, although Emperor Wanli was disappointed, he didn't keep it."

When Wang Tong was about to leave, Emperor Wanli groaned and said: "Let you go to Songjiang Mansion to open a port on an errand" You did a good job, wait for everything to become a rule over there" I sent a credible internal supervisor to star, you still come back, let's be together and do a few big things that will leave a name in history, both of us are still young, and the days are still long. ”

Hearing this, I had to kneel down again to thank you, but the context of these words was very different from before.

……………………

Wang Tong also has a house in Beijing, and even the original house is still maintained, after all, he has industry and connections in Beijing, so naturally there are some people who will play for him.

It is inevitable to return to Jingshi and see the Son of Heaven first, and then this banquet is from October to November, and there are people to invite each other every day, and there is a dinner every day.

In the past, Wang Tong was a lonely minister, and his forces were self-contained, and there were contradictions of one kind or another with all the forces in Beijing.

Now it's different, Wang Tong went to Songjiang Mansion, then now Wang Tong is close to the emperor, and there are the gods of wealth and fortune in Tianjin Wei, Songjiang Mansion, Guihua City and Guanwai, take this opportunity, everyone is close to him, see if there is a chance to get rich and so on.

Although Wang Tong said that he would not see everything, he replied politely and kindly, and everyone had to be able to get by, after all, he is not fighting now.

I don't know if this is interesting or helpless, after Wang Tong returned to Beijing, he had to go to the Jinyi Wei Yamen to handle official business, after all, he still had the title of commander of Jinyi Weidu, and he was okay in Songjiang Mansion, but when he returned to Beijing, how could he also carry out official business.

Worship Zhang Cheng and the banquet of the Son of Heaven, these two things are enough to show that Wang Tong's power is as strong as ever, and the Jinyi Wei Division does not dare to slack off.

But this handling of official business is just a walk-around procedure, two days later, Wang Tong has free time, and of course the first meal has to go to Ma Pozi's house to eat.

Coincidentally, Ma Sanbiao married Zhang Chunde's daughter, at that time the woman married him with a daughter, this woman and Ma Sanbiao's child was born half a year later than Wang Tong's eldest son Wang Xia, and it was also a daughter, Wang Tong also knew that Ma Sanbiao was very unhappy about this, and wanted Ma Sanbiao to take a concubine, the second child was a boy, so as to stabilize the status of the Zhang family's lady in the Ma family This family banquet, Ma Pozi wanted to see Wang Tong, she was also old, and there was a thought, wants to marry Ma Sanbiao's biological daughter to Wang Tong's son Wang Xia, the Ma family has gone from being an orphan and widow to today's glory and wealth, all because of Wang Tong, and Ma Pozi wants to make this relationship closer.

The child is so young, he has to be engaged for life, although Wang Tong said that he knew Ma Pozi's earnest intentions, but he still felt awkward about this, but said with a smile: "Don't worry, when the children reach the age of ten, it's not too late for us to make plans." ”

This can't be said to be a refusal, but it also makes sense, Ma Pozi also knows how to be measured, so she won't say much, and even took Ma Sanbiao to breathe a sigh of relief, not that he didn't want his daughter to marry Wang Tong's son, but he felt that the child was still young, which was too troublesome to toss.

After going to Ma's house, it was reasonable to attend the family banquet of Shuntian Mansion Cheng Lu Wancai and Jinyi Wei Security Division Qianhu Li Wenyuan.

Everyone is their own people, and they directly made it clear at the wine table, Li Wenyuan's current identity should not be too private with Wang Tong, not only for him, but also for Li Hutou.

These words were said by Lu Wancai, Wang Tong felt that this was actually a bit excessive, everyone knew the relationship between Li Wenyuan's father and son and his own family, why should he be so sensitive, but Lu Wancai said this, he didn't want to say anything else, Li Wenyuan was silent, but he knew the general situation very well, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, he said that he had something to do, and directly told Yao, "Grandpa, although there is also heaven and earth wireless overseas, but overseas is overseas after all, not Daming, being a prince in Daming, a prince for generations, is ten thousand times stronger than being a chief in an overseas barbarian land!" ”

Hearing Lu Wancai's words, Wang Tong understood why Lu Wancai had to say those words to Li Wenyuan before the banquet, it turned out that he was saying this in private.

Wang Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "What overseas chief, that place is to make money, in the south of Songjiang Mansion, there must be a port to settle in, besides, there are a lot of gold and silver specialties there, why bother to put it in the hands of Fanren." ”

"Grandpa, this side of Jingshi is the fundamental place of Grandpa, Grandpa took the initiative to invite Songjiang that day, this is a clever plan to retreat, but after going, I have to plan to come back, not in Jingshi, not on the side of the Son of Heaven, sooner or later there will be a danger of defeat." , Lu Wancai's words are not wrong, the root of the power still lies in the attitude of the Son of Heaven, Lu Wancai's words sound heart-wrenching, but they are also true.

"It seems that Luzon is known to the whole world!" , Wang Tong did not answer Lu Wancai's words, but said with a smile, it doesn't matter if the conquest of Luzon is known, as long as he doesn't prove that he personally participated in the past.

Hearing Wang Tong so vaguely about the topic, Lu Wancai knocked on his palm with a folding fan, no matter what, Lu Wancai is earnest after all, it's not good not to answer, Wang Tong paused, and said: "Don't worry, it's not that time yet." ”，！ ~！
