After Sun Chengzong took it, he opened it and glanced at it, his face changed slightly, and his face darkened at the end.
But he didn't say anything and handed the fold to several others.
Everyone gathered together to look through it, but after a moment their expressions became as serious as Sun Chengzong's.
The amount of embezzled money actually amounted to more than 1.6 million taels, and there were dozens of crimes committed by the servants of the mansion.
If that's all, forget it, there is actually a case of killing civilians and taking merit.
The general process is that when Wang Chengyin was the deputy commander-in-chief, his servants and cronies pretended to be thieves in order to make money and hijacked caravans passing through the country and abroad.
After the governor of Xuanfu got the news, he reported it to the imperial court and Wandu Command.
The imperial court ordered Wang Chengyin to suppress the bandits, but the thieves were all faked by his own servants and cronies. Where could he suppress the bandits?
Seeing that the deadline was getting closer, a close associate came up with an idea and took some of the hijacked items and planted them in a remote small village. He said that the small village was the lair of thieves and was directly massacred.
When the heads and lost items were returned and the thieves disappeared, the superiors believed it to be true and let the matter go.
Unexpectedly, one of the servants spilled the beans after drinking, and the Jin Yiwei who was arranged by Li Ruolian to watch the eight major Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou heard it.
So after reporting the matter, it was found out that the servant had been secretly kidnapped by Jinyiwei and was being imprisoned in Beijing.
"Tell me how to deal with it!"
Hearing Chongzhen's question, everyone's hearts sank. Sun Chengzong thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, Nanping, the capital of Xuanfu, controls the desert at the back, controls the danger of Juyong on the left, and supports the solidity in the clouds on the right. It is an important city on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty. head.
It is no small matter to deal with the general soldiers here. Will the Mongolian tribes take advantage of the handover gap to launch a sneak attack?
Secondly, most of the embezzled money must be fake military pay. If it is announced to the outside world, it will easily arouse the vigilance of other eight parties.
Third, Wang Chengyin was originally the deputy commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, Hei Yunlong, was dismissed due to Wei Zhongxian’s involvement. He took his place when there was no suitable candidate.
He has been in Xuanfu for seven years. There must be his cronies in Xuanfu. Will it cause a mutiny?
Fourth, it is a fact that Jiubian is on empty payrolls. The new commander-in-chief will definitely check the number of people. Will he alert the enemy? Now that we are short of time, why not pretend not to know and take it easy first? "
"Mr. Sun Ge, it's inappropriate. If it's just corruption, it's okay. But the servants pretended to be thieves and hijacked passing caravans, and also killed people to take credit. Once word spreads, the people's trust in the court will be gone.
Will caravans dare to trade in Zhangjiakou in the future? Will the Mongolian tribes use this as an excuse to launch a war? "
"Master Guo is right. The Zhangjiakou trade market is the largest trade market in the Ming Dynasty. There are more than 30,000 horses every year.
Moreover, it was the first stop for the Rakshasa Kingdom (Russia) to enter the Ming Dynasty, and its influence was too great. "
…
"Hou Aiqing, what do you think?"
Chongzhen spoke directly and named Hou Liu, the newly appointed Minister of War.
Hou Yu thought for a while and said: "I think it can be killed, but there are two steps. First, send a high-prestige minister who can suppress Wang Chengyin, not only to deal with Wang Chengyin, but also to prevent Wang Chengyin's cronies from mutiny.
Second, select a capable headquarters to serve as the new commander-in-chief. It is best to be decisive, courageous and strategic in killing. After all, you need to check the strength of the nine sides. If you are not decisive in killing, you will not be able to suppress it. "
"Two options, can you suggest?"
"Your Majesty, I have just been appointed and I am not familiar with it yet. Please forgive me!"
Chongzhen nodded and looked at the others, who were also silent. The emperor probably had someone chosen when he asked this.
Moreover, the Nine Border General Soldiers are of great importance, and their selection is easy to be criticized.
"I recommend someone to choose. How about Mangui?"
"He is originally from Xuanfu. He started in the Xuanfu Guards and rose from the flag general to the general soldier by virtue of his military merit.
The coach of the Ningyuan Battle and the Ningjin Battle has enough experience and military achievements.
Moreover, he is loyal, brave and shameless, and can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, which is exactly what is needed to rectify the Xuanfu.
The most important thing is that Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, does not get along with him, so he will be directly transferred out to replace Wang Chengyin. What do you think? "
Everyone just thought about it and agreed. Ningyuan City has Yuan Chonghuan, as well as generals such as Zu Dashou, Zhao Lijiao, Zuo Fu, Du Wenhuan, Zhu Mei, He Kegang, etc. It is not a big problem to transfer a Mangui.
Moreover, the British Lord is already stationed in Shanhaiguan, and he is like a Dinghai Shenzhen.
Seeing that the ministers agreed, Chongzhen also breathed a sigh of relief so as not to waste any words.
To be honest, what happened to Wang Chengyin, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, was really an unexpected surprise.
He originally just sent Jin Yiwei to Zhangjiakou to see if he could find any evidence of smuggling by the eight major Shanxi merchants, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish by the way.
Xuanfu is one of the nine major border towns with more than 90,000 soldiers. It is the military town with the largest number of soldiers outside Liaodong and Jizhou towns.
And the location is very special. It is only four hundred miles away from the city of Beijing. It is an important place to defend Kyoto and defend the Mongols from going south.
After years of empty wages, and a high possibility of collaborating with the eight major Shanxi merchants to smuggle banned materials, the interests involved can be imagined.
He was originally thinking about how to transfer the general soldiers of the Xuanfu, but unexpectedly he got in on his own.
There are several considerations for transferring Mangui to serve as the commander-in-chief. The first aspect is that there is a real shortage of personnel now. The second aspect is to transfer Mangui away from Liaodong, a place of right and wrong.
There are two disputes in Liaodong. One is the affairs of the generals, and the other is historical records. In July of the first year of Chongzhen, Yanguan impeached the king's ministers, and Mangui was implicated.
The third aspect is that in the second year of Mangui's reign in Chongzhen, King Qin died in battle when Huang Taiji's troops besieged Beijing. He was transferred away in the hope of changing his fate.
"As for people with high prestige, what do you think of me?"
One sentence made the ministers a little confused. Sun Chengzong said doubtfully: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry I didn't hear clearly. What is the name of the important minister you mentioned, Zheng?"
"It's me, not Zheng!"
Chongzhen was also a little dumbfounded. If he didn’t blame them, how could they have thought that he would go there in person?
"I don't believe it anymore. If I go to Xuan Mansion myself, how can they turn the world upside down?"
The ministers were completely confused this time. No, to be precise, they were frightened by Chongzhen's words.
The emperor wants to go on a tour, which is a big deal in any dynasty.
Especially at this juncture, the detailed plan of the five-year plan has not been completely finalized, and the Ming Dynasty has just shown signs of ZTE. How can the emperor travel at this time?
If something happens, it will really be the end of Ming Dynasty.
Can't go, absolutely can't go!
The ministers who woke up were immediately in an uproar and began to give earnest advice.
