The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

He planned to use the Japanese pirates' sneak attack in Nanjing to resolve these two matters together.

Replace the military household guard system with the professional recruitment system, replace the military farm with military pay, and create conditions for the rapid rise of Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou.

This is called cleaning the house to welcome guests. If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come.

Of course, with Hu Zongxian's means, it is also possible to clean up slowly when he becomes the governor of Zhejiang in the future, but within a year or so, it is impossible to move these people.

Yan Song didn't want to wait so long, and the tens of millions of people in the southeast didn't want to wait so long.

Therefore, it is these people that Yan Song really wants to calculate.

……

Yan Song's temporary residence.

Yan Song: "Have you found out everything?"

In front of him was Jin Yiwei Lu Quan.

Lu Quan said in a deep voice: "Basically, we have found out that Wang Feng's whereabouts have been very secretive these past few days. This person is cunning, and our brothers almost lost him a few times."

"Just tell me the result!" Yan Song said impatiently.

"Yes! Although he is very shrewd, we finally caught him by the tail of his fox." Lu Quan said: "This person is indeed the person behind the scenes of the Evil Tiger Gang, and also the general agent of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Maritime Merchants Alliance. During this period of time, he has pretended to be false with the adults on the surface, but in fact he has been making small moves in the dark. According to the information we intercepted, thousands of members of the Evil Tiger Gang have quietly left Suzhou! They are missing!"

"Oh?" Yan Song's eyes flashed!

"Everything is just as your lord expected!" Lu Quan said in admiration, "We did a close surveillance on the river and land before we found his trace. The evil tiger gang has thousands of people, broken up into pieces, and they are guarded by traffickers and servants. Waiting for various identities to cover, and quietly marched towards Nanjing. I hate the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Maritime Merchants Alliance, who actually acted as a minion, and used merchants from various places to cover these vicious tiger gangs full of blood and lives, as guides, and guided them to deceive everywhere. The surveillance of the government came secretly. If you didn’t tell us specifically to pay more attention, we would have been deceived too.”

Yan Song's eyes were gloomy, and he looked out of the window lightly.

"Wang Feng, what you are doing now is out of line!"

Lu Quan was puzzled and said, "However, even if thousands of people from the Evil Tiger Gang were mobilized 047, how confident is Wang Feng that he will be able to capture Nanjing? You must know that Nanjing is the accompanying capital of my Ming Dynasty. Just for defense here, there are Ministers of the Ministry of War and Nanjing's garrison. , Cooperate with the three guards of the eunuchs, and they have a full control of the strength of the six guards. Counting the troops directly under the Nanjing Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, the number is more than 4000. Even if they are empty-handed, there are [-] people. .Even if Japanese pirates come and dare not leave the city, it will always be no problem to defend the city.”

Yan Song said indifferently: "Of course, from the very beginning, he never planned to capture Nanjing."

"Then he just took off his pants and farted, is it superfluous?"

"No! He is Xiang Zhuang's sword-wielding intention for Pei Gong!" Yan Song smiled inscrutablely: "You think, I am accompanied by the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, but I was suddenly attacked by thousands of Japanese pirates. What will happen if the news reaches His Majesty's ears? This is the accompanying capital!"

Lu Quan thought about it, and suddenly realized: "Your Majesty will definitely think that the pirates are serious and the sea is very dangerous."

"Yes!" Yan Song nodded and said: "This will greatly hurt the emperor's spirit, and it further verifies the argument of the conservatives in the imperial court that 'the danger at sea cannot reopen the ship department', and it also cuts off the imperial court from conducting legal trade with foreign countries. channels. In this way, who can benefit?"

Chapter 152 Nanjing Defense Generals [4]

Who benefits from doing this?

Lu Quan's complexion gradually became ugly: "It's those smuggling maritime merchants! And those imperial bureaucratic interest groups that support them!"

"That's right!" Yan Song nodded and said, "This is a conspiracy! But it's not intended to attack Nanjing, but to strike at my Ming Dynasty's conspiracy to reopen the sea ban and the city shipping department! Once this conspiracy succeeds, my Ming Dynasty will fall into another In the secluded country, let the maritime business group manipulate the smuggling, and the Japanese pirates will be even more unscrupulous, and the situation in the southeast will be completely corrupted and can no longer be controlled."

Everyone's expressions changed!

"The reopening of the sea ban is of great significance to my Ming Dynasty!" Yan Song said sonorously.

"In my Ming Dynasty, the temperature keeps dropping every year, it's extremely cold, the harvests have been poor year after year, and disasters continue. If there is half a point reduction, ask for it! Ask for it!"

He stood up with piercing eyes, staring deeply at the distant Yangtze River and said: "Reform? With the emperor's personality, it is absolutely impossible! In this way, we can only open source! Earn huge sums of money from foreigners to support me, Daming, The people who have made my Ming overwhelmed can have a breather. Only in this way, the fate of my Ming Dynasty may be reversed, give me time, let me slowly reform!"

Yan Song picked up "Theory of Sea Power", stroked it lightly, his eyes shot out endless determination and said: "No matter what kind of monsters, no matter what kind of gods and ghosts, dare to stand in front of my Yan Song, I want him Shattered to pieces!"

Gai Nie and Nie Yinniang stood in awe.

Lu Quan is Lu Bing's relative, Jin Yiwei's family, loyal to Jiajing, and Yan Song is another person whom he submits and is loyal to in a different sense.

In the past, Yan Song always laughed and scolded, with a cynical and treacherous face, but on this big issue of right and wrong, he has such profound insights, such great sentiments, such an aura of worrying about the country and the people, and such a determination to defy difficulties, let everyone Everyone was awed by his majesty, and couldn't help but feel reverence.

"My lord.`!" Lu Quan gave a respectful voice.

Unexpectedly, Yan Song was only serious for a minute, and then he regained his treacherous face.

"What's more..." Yan Song said with a chuckle: "These sea merchants, what is the number one family in the south of the Yangtze River, have they fished enough fat these years? The pigs are fat, so they can be killed! Afterwards, they will be handed over to the emperor according to the old rules of [-] points For the benefit fee, I guess I can earn a lot!"

Lu Quan, Gai Nie, Nie Yinniang: "..."

I know you still have this kind of virtue, just now we were mistaken!

Yan Song returned to seriousness: "This time, let's use the opportunity to let these people shoot themselves in the foot!"

He looked at the noisy Nanjing city below, and thoughtfully said: "Give me the three senior officials, Zhao Zhenji, Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, Gu Dawei, the Nanjing garrison, and Chen Hu, the eunuch who cooperated with the garrison. Come see me!"

After a while, three high officials in charge of guarding Nanjing came.

Zhao Zhenji, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, is a member of the Xu family and the Xu Party. He is a scholar of the Qing Dynasty. He is a staid old master.

Therefore, he hated Yan Song extremely, and when he saw Yan Song just cupped his hands, he snorted coldly.

The attitudes of Nanjing's guard Gu Dawei and the guarding eunuch Chen Hu are very good. When they see Yan Song, they kneel and lick all kinds of affection.

Yan Song frowned and used mind reading.

Nanjing defender Gu Dawei: [This Yan Song called me, what do you want to do?I can't let him know about the transactions between Lao Tzu and the Wang family. 】

(Yan Song: The Wang family even bought him. Fortunately, I have the ability to read minds!)
