Chapter 149 Understanding the situation

When the brigade arrived in Taiyuan, there were already thousands of local Jinyiwei’s households, and they took their subordinates ten miles outside the city to greet them.

Sun Dake, a thousand households of Jinyiwei stationed in Shanxi, came forward to pay a visit, Zhao Xing kindly pulled the capable old man to ask about his well-being, then left the idle man with his side, leaving only Hong Chengchou and Zhao Zi by his side. After sitting down, Zhao Xing whispered: "What is the situation of your Qianyiwei? How many people and horses are there? What is the situation of the mutiny? How many people have mutiny in total? What is the current situation? What does the local governor and the three-sided governor mean and deal with it? Have our Jinyiwei participated in the reconciliation?"

Faced with this young boss' straightforward question, Sun Dake sorted out his own ideas and gave him cautiously: "Mr. Qi reported to him: "There are posts in thousands of households under him--" paused.

Zhao Xing stopped him again: "I want actual data, and it can be used. Don't worry, the gap is not something I have to manage, it is the authority of the commander. My Beizhen Fushi Department cannot manage it, and I don't want to cause trouble. If I ask you this way, it is possible that in the future, I need your cooperation, and I need to have a clear mind." Then he looked at the nervous Qianhu: "Of course, I would like to ask you for help in the future, which is a favor; if you have merits, I will report it to reward, and I have to carry it on my shoulders, so please answer truthfully."

After receiving such promises from this young poliest, Sun Dake said honestly: "There are 1,000 households with a full amount of 1,000, but the name of 500 people who did not take office was sacked. After the East Factory was abolished, the East Factory was transferred 200 people, and now there are 700 people, but what can be used is the East Factory who has just been transferred."

Most of the members of the East Factory are carefully selected from the Jinyiwei. Most of the Jinyiwei are hereditary, so they are capable and powerful.

Zhao Xing smiled calmly at Hong Chengchou, who was so surprised that he almost dropped his chin, and said, "It's not bad, it's really good."

"Has the Jinyiwei, the world's eyes and ears, eyes and ears, and ears, and ears, and the Jinyiwei has become so decayed?" Hong Chengchou couldn't believe his ears.

Zhao Xing spread his hands: "There are thousands of households in the 14 Jinyiwei in the world, among which there are eight names in the capital. As a result, there are only seven that were specially established for me later. And you also know that the hereditary system implemented by Jinyiwei is really a weasel mouse, and each generation is worse than the other. This is why the Jinyiwei had to take some guilt out of thin air in order to protect its own organization. Fortunately, the officials in the world are also powerful, and that one can be used to make one, so it has reached the point of today."

Sun Dake saw that the young tutor was frank and easy-going, so he dared to announce his internal news to Hong Chengchou, an outsider: "In fact, this is a world that is worse than bad. The Jinyiwei is bad, but fortunately, the official group is worse than our Jinyiwei."

Zhao Xing followed the conversation and sighed: "Yes, this is really an era of bad luck. The Great Jin Dynasty of the Song and Yuan dynasties was invincible in the world, but now Nurhaci and his ancestors were so bad that they were out of bounds. Nurhaci, who was begging for food, had no power to fight back. Nurhaci was able to fight the so-called Guanning Iron Cavalry and fled, which led to the Jurchens being less than ten thousand and unrivaled. The mainland garrison has been decaying until now, and even a group of refugees formed by refugees, and the soldiers on the three sides were hungry and could not take their swords and guns." Looking at Hong Chengchou with a heavy face, he said meaningfully: "If there is a capable minister who has mastered a team of only five thousand people, and only a team of young people with sufficient equipment and sufficient money and food, it would be enough to despise the world."

Hong Chengchou did not respond, but a look of yearning for him appeared on his cheeks. He had personal experience. His own team of 300 yamen runners, replaced the border troops that had no soldiers available, could kill 20,000 bandits besieged Hancheng, kill 300 enemies, and relieve the siege of Hancheng, which shows the meaning.

Retracting the off-topic topic, Zhao Xing said to Sun Dake: 'You continue to answer my questions'

Sun Dake hurriedly bowed to report again: "The mutiny border army is the Yulin Guard in Shaanxi. The total number of mutiny soldiers is said to be 20,000. In fact, according to the investigation of subordinates, the maximum is 10,000."

Zhao Xing nodded silently: "This is not a lot."

Sun Dake smiled: "In fact, only Wang Jinzhong's five thousand are the teams sent by Yang He to encircle and suppress them. Not only did the two sides not fight, they also directly joined forces."

Zhao Xing asked in surprise: "There is such a weird thing?"

Sun Dake glanced at the embarrassing Hong Chengchou: "This is actually not surprising, because Zhao He's troops who were sent to encircle and suppress the enemy are also owed more than a year."

Hong Chengchou spread his hands and made a self-deprecating defense: "Although I am a grain of food, I still have no rice to put it in the pot."

Sun Dake continued to report: "But these mutiny border troops have a conscience and have not become chaotic troops. Their leader is the garrison Wang Jinzhong, who restricts the soldiers and stays in the barracks without harming the surrounding people. They just go to the surrounding big households from time to time to borrow some rice and grain to maintain them, and then they keep writing letters to Governor Yang He and Yansui Governor Yue Hesheng, threatening them to resolve the accumulated debts as soon as possible."

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh: "This Wang Jinzhong's move alone is enough to avoid his death."

The mutiny of the army is not like the refugees who revolt, or the bandits and thieves who are rebelling.

The bandits composed of refugees are all kind people. They can abide by the rules that do not invade neighbors, only grab some supplies, and strictly abide by the rules that rabbits do not eat grass by their nests. In fact, the harm to the people is not very great.

But the mutiny soldiers are different. They mutiny because they are desperate. Once they mutiny, they think they will accept ruthless punishment from military discipline and have a mentality of giving up. Therefore, the harm is far greater than that of bandits.

However, Wang Jinzhong was able to restrain the mutiny's subordinates and just went to the wealthy merchants around to borrow rice and grain, and then threatened the imperial government. It can be seen that this person's conscience is still there.

This is what Hong Chengchou said that this manifestation alone is enough to forgive him for not dying.

In fact, the court did not dare to easily punish those soldiers and soldiers who caused trouble because of the mutiny of the border army. Most of them were from local government officials, killing a few to calm the wrath of the soldiers, then appease them, and continuing to fight for the country to die.

Especially after that, the Ming army mutiny one after another due to the owed wages. Even Guanning, which emptied the national treasury for four or five million a year, had a mutiny, let alone others?

Sun Dake continued to report: "The three-sided governor and the governor of Shanxi tried their best to conceal this matter at the beginning, but the emperor had a case of private visiting you in the capital. At the same time, they could no longer cover it up, so they had to report it to the court. But when they reported to the court, they were just a stubborn attitude of not being involved in their own affairs, and they were waiting for you to come and deal with it."

Zhao Xing looked at Hong Chengchou with an embarrassed look on his face: "Brother, from this point of view, your three-sided governor's yamen is really going to take my brother, I, to the head of the tank."

Hong Chengchou was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. After all, he was one of them, so he really had this meaning. Now that he and the imperial envoy became brothers, what else would he say at this time?

After a long time, Cai Qiqi Ai Ai said shyly: "Actually, brother, I have also kept urging these soldiers to accumulate more than 50 months of money and food, but the Shanxi Governor pushed it to the Sanbian Governor's Office to solve the problem. The Sanbian Governor's Office to hand over to the Yansui Governor's Office, and the Yansui Governor's Office to hand over it. The Yansui Governor's Office to hand over it. He also pushed it to the Shanxi Governor, and he didn't care—"

"Okay, this is a ring kick, a vicious cycle, you can't solve it, so you are waiting for my head to push the jar." In the Ming Dynasty, the military household registration system in the early stage was completely corrupt. In the Ming Dynasty, soldiers were later had to be recruited to defend the country. Joining the army was a job, a job, and you had to get a salary. If you can't get a salary, you will naturally make trouble. Most people make trouble, just block the road and shout a few words. The troubles of the army were different. If you have a guy in your hands, you will make trouble to death. The special term is called "mustache". Whoever encounters this kind of thing will be unlucky.

"I owe fifty-one months, but I have to lose the conscience of those soldiers. If they are put on the officials, they will make a fuss." After sighing for a moment, Zhao Xing replied to the previous sentence: "Have the Jinyiwei Shen reconciled?"

Sun Dake smiled bitterly and said, "Before the New Year, people were already panicked, and officials from all over the country were even more powerful and did not take the Jinyiwei seriously at all. Who is still interested in the harmony? So, in the principle that it is better to have less than more things, at first, everyone was waiting to inform them to go home to hold the children. Later, because of your relationship with you, the Jinyiwei retained it, but everyone's hearts were dispersed and it was difficult to gather again. Therefore, our Shanxi Jinyiwei Thousand Household Institute did not mix with it." Then he knelt on one leg: "I would like to forgive my subordinates for dereliction of duty in this regard."

Zhao Xing stood up and pulled him up: "Not blamed you. Once the trouble comes, the people will be dispersed, and this team will be difficult to lead." Then he said seriously: "But I don't care about the original matter. From now on, your thousand households will listen to my dispatch and cheer up. Let's save my head first and not let those bastard officials use our Jinyiwei to put the jar on the jar. Then he just makes a gesture and shows the people of the world and the soldiers. We are still speaking for them, and they are still the mortal enemies of the dog officials who oppress them. Let the emperor see, the one who can really solve the problem is still his personal army, our Jinyiwei."

When Sun Dake heard this, he held the Xiuchun Sword tightly and straightened his back: "Be careful to follow the teachings of the Lord." For a moment, the former domineering and arrogant Jinyiwei came back again.

As he was speaking, the personal soldier leader Mao Shouyi came in to report: "The Shanxi governor and officials of all sizes are out of the city to welcome the imperial envoy."

Zhao Xing asked: "Did Geng Ru get up?"

Mao Shouyi shook his head: "No."
