Chapter 141: Attacking Wild Boar Skin
The arrest of Zhang Zhihou and Du Wenhuan was relatively smooth. After all, the emperor wanted to arrest people, and no one was willing to rebel with them. The military power in Du Wenhuan was just in front of the imperial power. When arresting people, the hundreds of servants raised by Du Wenhuan did not dare to stop the Jinyiwei.
Although Zhu Youxiao asked the Jinyiwei to cut the person directly, the Jinyiwei did not dare to do this. After all, Zhang Zhihou was a member of the side and Du Wenhuan was also the general of the town. He just cut the person directly, which did not meet the procedures!
Let’s arrest it first and let the Ministry of Justice come out for trial!
Zhang Zhihou was so excited that he was crying at this time. As for it? He just concealed the Mongolian invasion, and it had happened before. But he actually knew the degree of terror of this incident, but he was just lucky and thought that even if he was discovered, he would not be arrested!
However, the facts proved that not only was he arrested, but the situation was still serious. He was taken into a prison car and escorted all the way to the capital, which was simply the treatment of a serious prisoner. Du Wenhuan was almost fainted from crying, and he never expected such serious consequences.
The more serious consequences are still ahead!
After Zhang Zhihou and Du Wenhuan were taken to the capital, they were interrogated and led a bunch of officials and military officers from Yansui Town.
Zhu Youxiao immediately realized that this was another chance to search the house!
Of course, you cannot do it randomly, otherwise it will cause interest groups to join forces to protect themselves, and that will be a big problem. But this time, there are very good crimes.
Incompetent, conceal the report, deceive the emperor!
So this time the house search and the involvement became a special situation, not targeting all groups. However, the northern Shaanxi area is not a very wealthy place. After a while, it only brought Zhu Youxiao more than 500,000 taels of silver to the account. However, after all, it was a fortune, and even ten thousand taels of taels would be happy.
Zhang Zhihou and Du Wenhuan were directly handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial.
Huangdi wanted to behead these two guys and question them, so the Ministry of Justice was naturally very hardworking. At this time, all the six ministries in the court were under the control of Zhu Youxiao, so he naturally punished the crimes as he wanted.
So this time the concealment of reports became a very serious behavior, and the Daming Daily reported on it. There was no need to add fuel to the fire. Just tens of thousands of people were killed by Hetao Mongolia, which was enough to arouse the public's indignation towards Zhang Zhihou and Du Wenhuan. The biggest indignation was to accuse them of being incompetent and deceiving the emperor was also very bad.
Public opinion was mobilized again. The Ministry of Justice quickly came up with the verdict, and Zhang Zhihou and Du Wenhuan were sentenced to beheading and were circulated on the nine sides.
In order to eliminate such concealment, Shen Qing proposed a plan to list provinces like Shaanxi with more bandits as areas where the bandits are reported are not included in the assessment. After reporting, it can be counted as political achievements, so that local officials can actively deal with the bandits.
After the Battle of Sarhu, many border troops who fled back did not dare to go home. They simply became bandits. These Ming troops turned into later bandits. They were a group of robbers with military qualities. Once a famine occurred, there were a large number of hungry people, they would take the hungry people to be cannon fodder and use them to plunder towns and wealthy families in the countryside.
Generally, when encountering such a situation, local officials conceal the reports, and basically few officials will report the situation. Such inaction also makes these thieves very free. As long as the robber is successful once, a large amount of money can be recorded, and their lives are naturally very free. At this time, they are asked to return to the border army to report, and even if they are not held accountable, they are usually unwilling to go back, after all, they are ambitions.
The best way to deal with these thieves is naturally to wipe out. But if you want to wipe out them, you cannot give them a public base, so you must provide relief when encountering natural disasters.
During the Tianqi period, the thieves were in trouble, mainly because the court insisted on relief.
After Zhang Zhihou and Du Wenhuan were quickly convicted, they were quickly punished. On the day of the murder, many people from the capital came to watch the fun.
The knife fell with his hands and the head rolled.
The people applauded, and such corrupt officials would be happy once they died.
Zhang Zhihou became the first local official to be dismissed. No one expected that Zhu Youxiao's first anti-corruption campaign in the local area would be to burn Yansui first.
And this time I lost my head and even passed the head to nine sides.
Many officials in northern Shaanxi were in a state of trembling. A governor cut him off and might even implicate them. As a result, within a few days, several memorials on the activities of the thieves appeared, all of which were from northern Shaanxi. Zhu Youxiao issued a reply one by one, ordering the border troops in Yansui Town to be responsible for the extermination.
The border troops in Yansui Town were also in ruins at this time. It is obviously unrealistic to eliminate these thieves. After all, the bandits are mobile, and playing hide-and-seek with the government. With the current state and execution of the border troops, it is indeed unlikely to completely eliminate these thieves. But at least it can curb the momentum of these thieves! Zhu Youzheng's hope of checking the border troops is actually limited to this little bit, and he will be satisfied if he can do it. After the training of the 100,000 border troops transferred to the capital will be completed, Zhu Youxian will have enough troops to be transferred out to eliminate these thieves.
The year was over soon. Under the leadership of Shen Qing, the cabinet began to implement the Baojia system in northern provinces, one was to repair water conservancy, and the other was to prevent bandits and thieves.
Zhu Youxiao personally presided over the reform of Northern Zhili. At the same time, after 100,000 border troops arrived at the capital one after another, the reorganization work was also underway, which made Zhu Youxiao busy.
In contrast, the wild boar skin was even more furious. Amin took the blue flag to deal with the Dongjiang army, but was defeated and half of the troops were lost. After Amin defeated, he returned to Shenyang to report his life. The wild boar skin slapped him on the spot and cursed: "You trash, you were defeated, and you actually lost so many troops."
Amin covered her face in grievance and lowered her head without saying a word.
"The Khan calmed down. According to the investigation, the Dongjiang Army had the full support of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. It was uniformly armed and sharp firearms, which was indeed difficult to deal with. Erbeile underestimated the enemy, but Mao Wenlong had few soldiers after all, and the Dongjiang Army lived on the island. As long as our army arrived, they might not be able to jump up." Li Yongfang said at this time. As the first general to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Li Yongfang became the so-called prince consort, and his status was still some.
The wild boar skin sniffed heavily, calming it a little, and did not continue to blame Amin. After all, Amin is the son of his brother. After all, the wild boar skin killed his own brother, and he might still feel a little guilty, or he must be good-looking in his face. So he did not continue to hold Amin accountable.
Wild Boar Skin looked at the map for a while and said, "The urgent thing now is to grab Jinzhou back first. Otherwise, Mingguo can restrain us from the Jinzhou defense line."
Although the wild boar skin is not very educated, it can create a gang of robbers. In addition to the interests of some civil and military officials of the Ming court, he still has some military acumen.
Jinzhou suddenly turned into a thorn in the wild boar skin and a thorn in the flesh.
The location of Jinzhou is just in a junction with the Ming army on the Guangning line. If the Ming army stabilizes in Jinzhou, the subsequent robbery activities will not be so convenient. After all, they are also gangs of robbers with territory now, and it is impossible for them to catch fire in the backyard for robbery.
"The khan is wise." Li Yongfang quickly flattered and slapped him. The wild boar skin nodded with some benefit and said loudly: "Tell me the order, mobilize troops immediately and grab them back to Jinzhou." (To be continued...)
