Yang Tinglin, the prefect of Ganzhou, was about forty years old, with a clear face and an elegant appearance, and he and Huang Daozhou, Ni Hongbao and the article were famous all over the world, called "Sanhanlin".

He has made great achievements in governance, but he is weak in military affairs, and when Lu Xiangsheng was in the army, he was only responsible for raising logistics and grass, and he never intervened in combat matters.

The governor of Southern Jiangxi entered Beijing to report on his work, just happened to meet the Qing army entering the capital, and ravaged Hebei, Shandong and other places, and did not withdraw his troops from the customs until the end of April, so the governor of Southern Jiangxi stayed in the capital and has not returned so far.

Yang Tinglin is the prefect of Ganzhou, and now he has to bear the affairs of Ganzhou, and the thieves in Huichang are flourishing, except for urging the commander of Ganzhou Wei to make Zhu Teng try his best to suppress the thieves, he can't come up with any clever methods.

Sitting in the hall was Chen Shaoping, a fellow governor of Ganzhou, and Gao Dingfang, the judge. Ganzhou Wei commanded Ma Sizhong.

Then there is the king of the military preparation.

Wang Gong's identity is relatively special, and Bingbeidao is a power organ between the province and the state capital, similar to the regional administrative office in later generations.

During the Hongzhi period, the military of the provinces began to rush to the "Taoists" who reorganized the military equipment, which was called the military preparation road. He supervises the military and can participate directly in combat operations.

This official is filled by an inspector or a commissioner, and is a kind of patrol road. It is also known as the deputy envoy of military armament, military constitution.

To explain it clearly, it is necessary to talk about the political structure of the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang mainly divided the state power structure into three systems, namely the three major systems of government, military and supervision.

In the provincial power structure, the above three systems correspond to the administrative department, the metropolitan command department, and the judicial department.

Originally, like the governor, the military station was only a temporary institution.

It belongs to the supervision system itself, but it does the work of the administrative and military systems;

It was originally dispatched by the Inspectorate, but the establishment and removal were all under the responsibility of the Ministry of War;

You say that he belongs to the supervision system, he does the work of the administrative system, you say that it is the administrative system, and the military system has the final say on its establishment or abolition, you say that it belongs to the military system, and its officials are all in the supervision system

This is simply more complicated than making a nuclear bomb, I don't know which genius made the military preparation Dao at the beginning, with such a shrewd mind, will the Ming Dynasty die when it is used to build a nuclear bomb?

Moreover, although the military preparation road has now become a permanent local yamen, it is embarrassing that it does not have the functions and powers that have been passed down from generation to generation and confirmed by the "various officials" like the government and county officials.

All its powers are obtained through an edict in which you are given the power of administration, finance, supervision, and overseer, you are above all the officials under the jurisdiction of the province, such as the prefect and the commander.

If the edict stipulates that you only have military power, then I'm sorry, the prefect and the county don't bird you, Wang Gong's authority is just to reorganize the army, and now Ganzhou is in turmoil, it is said that Wang Gong's authority should be highlighted, and everyone should take his horse head as a leader, but don't worry.

We have to find out where the Ganzhou Bingbei Road Yamen is located, it is located in the damn - Huichang. Huichang guards the junction of Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian provinces, and its geographical location is very important, so the military preparation road yamen was originally located in Huichang, not in Ganzhou City.

Understand, Wang Gong is now just a "lost dog", his yamen has been lost for two years, he has not been dismissed until now, this is definitely a miracle, it is Li Zicheng, Huang Taiji, Zhang Xianzhong and countless other figures working together to create this miracle for Wang Gong.

Although Wang Gong has not been dismissed, he himself can't manage Yang Tinglin, the prefect, and now he is a "lost dog", waiting for the guilty, so the officials present are headed by Yang Tinglin, but he is left out in the cold.

Yang Tinglin and other officials were worried, their faces were solemn, if Qin Mu had not dealt with it in a proper way today, and stopped the spies from inciting civil unrest in time, and tens of thousands of refugees in the city were instigated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Today narrowly escaped the catastrophe, but everyone knows that if this continues, the tens of thousands of refugees in the city will sooner or later be instigated by those who have a heart.

How to resettle these tens of thousands of refugees has become a thorny issue that all officials in the chamber must resolve as soon as possible.

Chen Shaoping, the same governor of Ganzhou, said with a worried face: "Now that it is a time when there is a shortage of green and yellow, although there is still some rice grain in the warehouse, we must first ensure that the rations of the officers and soldiers in front of the thieves can not be used to help the people, how can this be good?" ”

Ganzhou soldiers are preparing for the Taoist Wang Gong said: "All the bandits are in trouble, always trying to recruit refugees, in order to strengthen the momentum, this time the bandit leader Ma Yongzhen is very abnormal, according to the lower officials, he is clearly premeditated, drive the refugees to Ganzhou, let us make it difficult, among the tens of thousands of refugees, I don't know how many spies have been mixed in, not only the dozen or so captured today, we have to guard against it." ”

"Wang Yan's words are reasonable, according to this official, since the government treasury can't take out enough food to help the refugees, leaving these refugees in the city will cause great changes sooner or later." Ganzhou Wei commander Tongzhi Ma Sizhong added.

Yang Tinglin, who was sitting at the top, frowned and asked, "What should I do with Lord Ma's wishes?" ”

"Immediately concentrate the refugees and resettle them outside the city."

Qin Mu, who was sitting at the bottom, didn't make a sound, and when he heard this, he finally couldn't listen anymore, and said in a protest voice: "You can drive tens of thousands of refugees out of the city today, and they can enter the city tomorrow." ”

Ma Sizhong glanced at Qin Mu coldly, and before he could speak, Yang Tinglin had already said first: "Yes, Ma Yongzhen's rebels have approached the city, and if the people are driven out of the city at this time, the people will definitely be dissatisfied, which is tantamount to pushing them to the rebels, and they must not be helped." ”

Ma Sizhong's expression was a little unswerving, in terms of grade, the commander of the guard post is from the third grade, which is higher than Yang Tinglin, the fourth-grade prefect, but because he is a martial artist, although the grade is high, he has to bow his head in front of Yang Tinglin, seeing that Yang Tinglin supports a small magistrate, and refutes his face, he asked impatiently: "Since Lord Yang said so, how to settle these tens of thousands of refugees is all up to Lord Yang." ”

Ma Sizhong is obviously angry, Yang Tinglin in order to take care of the overall situation, it is not easy to say anything, now the people of Ganzhou have gradually become a prairie fire, even the capital is in danger, the military attache is unwilling to be suppressed anymore, and it is normal to come out to fight for the right to speak.

He pondered for a moment and asked Qin Mu, "Qin Zhi County has any good strategy." ”

Qin Mu didn't drag his feet either, and immediately got up and replied: "Now we can only find a vacant land in the city, concentrate on the resettlement of refugees who have entered the city, send troops to strengthen defense, and at the same time, among the refugees, organize the households as A, elect Jiazheng and Jiading, and let them cooperate to maintain public order. ”

Ma Sizhong immediately sneered: "I said how clever you are, don't you know these methods when I wait?" If you don't solve the problem of almsgiving, the people will be hungry, and no matter how you make up your armor, it will be in vain, and they will still have to take risks in order to survive. If you have the ability, you will give birth to some money and food, and you don't need to come to the class to get an axe. ”

Qin Mu ignored his ridicule, and then said: "The city is not without food, Ganzhou Mansion is south to Nantong, Fujian, east to Fujian, west to Huguang, since ancient times, there must be a lot of wealthy merchants in the city who want to come to the city;

The situation is unstable today, and these rich families must save more money and food. Now the government wants to make clear to them the benefits, if there is no grain relief, then Ganzhou is not guaranteed, Ganzhou is not guaranteed, then their family wealth will be seized by the rebels, and then Lord Yang will come out to borrow grain from the rich households, and declare that they will pay taxes every year. ”

"What if someone else doesn't borrow it?" Ma Sizhong sneered.

Qin Mu also immediately said coldly: "Whoever doesn't borrow it is a collaborator!" ”

Yang Tinglin shook his head and said: "Qin Zhixian's move is too radical, I am afraid that it will provoke a civil uprising, which is inappropriate, inappropriate." ”

Qin Mu said: "Lord Yang, Zhang Xianzhong captured Wuchang, hundreds of thousands of people, Nanchang in order to prevent Zhang Xianzhong from taking advantage of the situation, must not dare to send troops to help me Ganzhou to suppress thieves, today's Ganzhou, there are no reinforcements, there are tens of thousands of refugees inside like a powder keg will explode at a point, the next official is sure that if these tens of thousands of refugees are not resettled as soon as possible, Ganzhou will not be guaranteed;

At this extraordinary time, when an extraordinary act is made, Lord Yang borrows grain, whether it will provoke a popular uprising, and the lower officials don't know, but they can't borrow food, but the lower officials are sure that the civil rebellion is just around the corner;

In such a situation, there is no superfluous reason to talk about, whether it is forced to borrow or rob, there is no need to take care of much. Lord Yang only needs to keep his heart, and after the thieves are pacified in the future, he will take the initiative to repay them;

As for what to repay, Lord Yang doesn't need to worry too much, now where the rebels have passed, the officials and gentry and rich families have been robbed and killed, and the rebels have obtained a lot of dirty silver, if we can quickly quell the chaos, this dirty silver is enough to repay the debt owed by borrowing grain. ”

Chen Shaoping, a fellow governor of Ganzhou, blurted out a question: "What if you can't quell the chaos?" ”

Qin Mu spread his hands, too lazy to answer such an idiot's question.

Chen Shaoping reacted quickly, and his face couldn't help but show a look of surprise. But isn't it, if you don't pay off the thief, the thief will level you, and then you will still need to pay off the debt?

Qin Mu's words may indeed be the only way to solve the current crisis, but this is tantamount to robbing the people's property, once the people are provoked, even if it is suppressed, the rebels will be successfully pacified in the future, but after the court investigates, Yang Tinglin and others will inevitably be punished.

And Yang Tinglin also felt that this move was too radical, and it could not be used until it was a last resort, and as for when it was a last resort, everyone's cognition in their hearts was naturally different.

Yang Tinglin groaned and asked the officials present: "Everyone should express their opinions and see if Qin Zhixian's policy should be implemented." ”

Ma Sizhong immediately replied: "The lower officials still insist on their own views and concentrate the refugees outside the city, if Lord Yang plans to forcibly borrow grain from the rich families in the city, the lower officials do not dare to agree, everything is up to Lord Yang." ”

Chen Shaoping, Gao Dingfang, and Wang Gong hesitated, and each said that instead of forcibly borrowing grain from the wealthy households in the city, it was better to resettle the refugees outside the city.

Qin Mu understood that no one wanted to take responsibility, everyone could get by, and the risk of forcibly borrowing food was much higher for them than driving refugees out of the city.

If the refugees are driven out of the city, the refugees will inevitably throw themselves into the rebels, which everyone does not have much doubt, but they still have a trace of luck, thinking that even if these tens of thousands of refugees are thrown into the rebels, the city of Ganzhou may not be able to be defended, as long as Ganzhou is not broken, their guilt will be much lighter.

And once they forcibly ask for grain from the rich and provoke a civil uprising in the city, they will be held accountable by the imperial court in the future, which will not be able to escape.

As the saying goes, the lesser of two evils, it is only natural for these officials to make such a choice.

Yang Tinglin weighed it hard for a long time, and finally he shook his head and said: "This official is the prefect of Ganzhou, guarding the side of the emperor and shepherding the emperor, at this time, the people must not be expelled from the city, this is no different from forcing them to be thieves. In this way, first resettle the refugees to the government school, send troops to guard against it, and at the same time organize a household, investigate and deal with spies, and open a porridge shop for relief. The official invited the wealthy families in the city again, knowing the benefits, thinking how much he could raise some money and grain, and dealing with it for the time being, and then sent someone to Nanchang Mansion to ask the governor to transfer grain and relief. ”

After Yang Tinglin finished speaking, in addition to Ma Sizhong sneering and not saying a word, Chen Shaoping, Gao Dingfang, and Wang Gong agreed to this compromise.

Qin Mu didn't say anything anymore, but he couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart, compared with Chongzhen, you Yang Tinglin is the green onion, when Li Zicheng hit Beijing, Chongzhen came forward to ask the magnates in Beijing to donate money to raise military salaries, but the magnates in Beijing would rather sit and wait for the city to break, and no one was willing to come up with money, Zuihou cheapened Li Zicheng for nothing.

The more troubled the times, the more the rich want to keep more coffins for self-defense, which is inevitable, in addition to forcing "borrowing", I want them to take out the money and food, one word, difficult! Two words, don't think, three words, you die!
