Chapter 232 His Majesty's big move
Ye Dingyi, the magistrate of Jiangning County, followed the instructions of Yingtian Governor Wang Wenkui, and officials at all levels in Jiangnan tried their best to make trouble for the Royal Weaving Bureau, instigating unruly people to cause trouble, forcing the Royal Weaving Bureau to run. Once the Majesty or the people around him asked about the chaos in the Royal Weaving Bureau and the Nanjing city, they would be too many gangsters and unable to manage them, and all the blame was put on the unemployed hired workers.
The law does not punish the masses, so that His Majesty should fully realize that there are too many unruly people, even if they are officials, they cannot do anything.
So, at this moment, when Zhu Youxiao asked why there were gangsters causing trouble in front of the Royal Weaving Bureau, the Jiangning County Magistrate chose to answer this way. Even if he was dismissed from his post, there was nothing he could do. As a seventh-rank official, he would rather offend His Majesty than betray the entire Jiangnan Civil Official Group.
But the magistrate Ye obviously underestimated Zhu Youxiao's temper. As soon as the magistrate Ye finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao picked up an inkstone and smashed it at the magistrate Ye, shouting loudly: "Bold! You dare to bully me, and you will be pulled down and chopped me!"
"yes!"
The two east factory responded and immediately pulled the county magistrate Ye out of the house. Wu Jin also pulled out the embroidered spring knife. The knife blade flashed with a cold light and scared the county magistrate Ye was stunned. He even forgot the severe pain caused by the inkstone hitting his head. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am just telling the truth. There are many unlucky people in the capital in Nanyuan, not me."
"You dare to shirk responsibility. It was because of the Ming Dynasty that the government was declining to this point. So what if your county government was demolished by a bad guy? Even if you live on the street, as a parent official here, you have to protect the lives and property of the people here, and drag them down and behead them!"
After Zhu Youxiao scolded him, Jiangning County Magistrate Ye Dingyi had been dragged outside the house. His head was pressed down, and Wu Jin also raised the embroidered spring knife. But at this time, Ye Dingyi felt fear and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, please spare me. The criminal has something to say and what to say. These are all instructed by Lord Zhongcheng!"
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao ordered someone to bring him up. County Magistrate Ye did not dare to mess around at this time. When his life was at stake, he told Governor Yingtian's instructions in a scattered manner. However, when he hoped to wait for Zhu Youxiao to spare his life, Zhu Youxiao just said to Wu Jin: "Give him a whole body and then inform the people that those who do not protect the environment and dare to violate the kindness of heaven will be killed immediately!"
Jiangning County Magistrate Ye Dingyi was shocked and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why don't you forgive the lives of the criminals?"
Zhu Youxiao stood up and entered the Royal Weaver Bureau, and was too lazy to pay attention to the Jiangning County Magistrate. Now Zhu Youxiao only has one feeling. The imperial power has not been in Jiangnan for a hundred years. Now the bureaucrats and gentry here are no longer taking me seriously. A small county magistrate dares to be careless in front of him, and even would rather obey the advice of a governor Yingtian.
Wu Jin stabbed Ye Dingyi into the chest with a knife, rotated it hard for several times, and said ruthlessly: "The crime of deceiving the king has been committed. I still want Your Majesty to spare your life. You are so naive, don't you know that the imperial power is greater than the sky?"
Ye Dingyi died, and was immediately published in the Daming Daily, and Ye Ding's body was hung outside the city gate, warning the people of the world that if they dared not try their best to protect the royal industry and did not fully protect the people, their fate would only be worse than Ye Dingyi.
After visiting the Royal Weaving Bureau here, Zhu Youxiao gave some opinions on the Royal Weaving Bureau and production management models and equipment. However, he was very open-minded in this regard and was not arbitrary. He just told Mao Yuanyi that this was his opinion. Please ask Mao Yuanyi to handle it according to the actual situation and refer to the specific situation.
Although Mao Yuanyi seems inferior in politics, he also has his own opinions in this regard.
To improve the status of military officers and make people from military officers more confident in dealing with military, political, commercial and scientific research, etc., perhaps they can unlock their potential more. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be sure of this idea at this time.
It is worth mentioning that Ye Dingyi's death in Jiangnan's civil servants also caused a lot of shock. They did not expect that His Majesty would be so stubborn about the protection of the Royal Weaver Bureau. No one can see that His Majesty's ambition to rely on industries such as the Royal Weaver Bureau to control Jiangnan's wealth did not disappear, and he even spared no hesitation to make a county magistrate sacrifice his life.
In this way, they became more convinced that they would challenge Zhu Youxiao's determination to change the business pattern and class level in a more intense way. No one was sure who was the final winner, or no one was willing to give up their control over the big cake of Jiangnan and even the entire Ming Dynasty's right to speak.
The battle between the imperial power and the civil servant group continues.
"The mission was sent to Caojiang, the governor of Wei, Xu Hongji, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, and Wang Yongguang, the Minister of War of Nanjing, and the order of the Royal Military Academy to come to Nanjing immediately if they are familiar with water. At the same time, the order for the Xuzhou Imperial Guard Qin Botong to lead the infantry of the two battalions."
Zhu Youxiao's series of decrees made Wang Chengen and Li Mingrui a little suspicious.
Xu Hongji, Wei Zhongxian and Wang Yongguang are three bigwigs who control the military power of Jiangnan. The early graduates of the Royal Military Academy are officers with unlimited prospects and receiving the latest military training. What is the purpose of transferring the two battalions of the Imperial Guards into Nanjing? Could it be that the gangsters in Nanjing also need to let the Imperial Guards deal with it?
No one can guess what His Majesty the emperor is thinking, even close ministers like Wang Chengen and Li Mingrui, let alone other officials and gentry.
"Xu Hongji, I will ask you, how many soldiers are there in the Ming Dynasty, how many ships are there, how many people can fight, how many people can’t fight, who is stronger and who is weak, how many people are weak, how many people are stronger and how many are weak, and how many are the caravans of various Western countries;
In addition, Wang Yongguang, how many troops are there in the guards in Nanjing now, how many annual salary is the soldiers, how much food and salary are consumed every month, how many people can fight, whether the coastal defenses in the Ming Dynasty are complete, if the Japanese riots occurred again during the Jiajing period, can they be resisted;
There is also Wei Zhongxian. How is the training situation of generals in various places in Nanjing now? What is the military discipline? How is the publicity of the heroic deeds of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou? Whether his tomb has been repaired, whereabouts of his descendants, whether the descendants of good generals, and whether the orphans of martyrs are given pensions?"
Zhu Youxiao's series of questions made the three people in charge of Nanjing not know what to say, but what disappointed Zhu Youxiao was that these three people were not considered to be corpses and corpses. In addition, Ye Dingyi's head was still hanging on the city gate tower, so the three people also gave specific answers one by one.
But the real situation did not satisfy Zhu Youxiao. As the national defense pressure shifted from the ocean to outside the pass, the current naval army had already experienced the same situation as the Beijing camp. There were not enough soldiers, and there were even fewer ships available. Many ships even became private ships of large households, and many soldiers also became pirates.
"Transfer my order. In three days, I will inspect the Ming navy outside the Meridian Gate. If I fail, I will regard it as a voluntary renunciation and directly convert it to a civilian nationality. If I arrive, I will select the best and the best to be a royal guard navy!"
No one understands why His Majesty was so concerned about the navy, but this made the civil servant group that had been ready to move very glad. As long as His Majesty did not notice their little moves, he would do whatever he wanted to do. The navy turned into a navy. In their opinion, perhaps he wanted to compete with the official Zheng Da.
