This time, Wu Shanyan led his own soldiers, a total of more than 200 people, to block the front and back doors of the Yi Zheng Hotel.
The total number of soldiers from the Hangzhou camp who came to the Yizheng Hotel to complain was seventy-eight, showing a huge disparity in strength. If these reckless men were so enraged by Wu Shanyan's words that they really killed Zhang Wenxi, he could really have caused this small-scale mutiny that Wu Shanyan had controlled.
If the matter is successful, the governor Wu Shanyan can't help but comment on the situation on the scene? Although it has led to mutiny, reducing pay is definitely not a big mistake. Most of the food, grass and money for local garrisons are originally provided by the local government. Our Zhejiang Province wants to build water conservancy and open customs. What is wrong with tightening our belts and carrying out projects?
Besides, most of the more than a dozen guard posts in Zhejiang were stationed along the coast to prevent Japanese pirates. The left and right camps in Hangzhou were originally third-line troops, and the imperial court had long intended to reduce them - using the salary reduction to mobilize soldiers to go home to work in the fields, Wu Shanyan was politically correct.
At this time, he added fuel to the fire and scared Zhang Wenxi to death. Seeing the veins on Liu Ting's arm bulging and his teeth clenched, it was really possible to turn the blade around and pull it gently, wouldn't blood spurt out all over the yard?
But Zhang Wenxi, who was later "built as a shrine to worship" by the people of his time, did have a lot of tricks. The more critical the moment, the faster his mind would turn.
In order to provoke Liu Tingyong and others to mutiny, Wu Shanyan came here at the right time. His original intention was to let these soldiers have hope before extinguishing them with his own hands. On the one hand, it would arouse their anger, and on the other hand, it would reduce their trust in the government. to zero.
In order to give them the courage to cause trouble, Wu Shanyan brought a total of eight soldiers into the yard, and the rest were waiting outside the door. These people waited for the signal from the soldiers around Wu Shanyan, and then swarmed in to control the "mutiny".
Zhang Wenxi looked around, blinked, and suddenly whispered to Liu Tingyong: "Do you think this dog official is annoyed? Now we are on the same team, you haven't noticed it, right?"
Liu Tingyong was afraid that others would say he was stupid. Hearing this, he immediately whispered: "I have seen this a long time ago. You just said you wanted to impeach him."
Zhang Wenxi said softly: "Yes. I also think you know something about it. Do you want to beat him up for making him angry?"
Liu Ting was speechless and then nodded vigorously. Zhang Wenxi moved his lips slightly and said, "Then you look at my eyes and act like this." Liu Tingyong nodded again after hearing this.
The two of them muttered in low voices, but Wu Shanyan increased his intensity and said: "I count to three, Liu Tingyong! Put down your weapons! Otherwise, I will regard you as thieves and kill you immediately!"
"one!"
Zhang Wenxi whispered: "Throw away the knife first, otherwise you will die!"
Liu Tingyong took a look at the situation and realized that unless he really killed officials and rebelled, his arms really couldn't twist his thighs. Before Wu Shanyan could continue to count, he threw the knife away after hearing this. He was the leader, and upon seeing this, the other soldiers in the camp also threw away their weapons.
As soon as Wu Shanyan stretched out his finger, he saw Liu Tingyong and others throwing away the knives. He cursed in his heart: "Damn it, no wonder the court wants to disarm. These weaklings are bloodless. Are they really useless in fighting a war?!"
He turned around helplessly and asked Ma Bian beside him for a whip, preparing to whip Liu Ting with a few whips, hoping to see if he could beat the blood out of these soldiers.
...
Liu Tingyong waited and disarmed, and the soldiers around Wu Shanyan also put away their weapons and muskets. Zhang Wenxi let out a long breath, grabbed Liu Tingyong, walked quickly towards Wu Shanyan and said, "Oh my god, you really scared me to death just now!"
After taking Liu Tingyong and running up a few steps, he used his body to block the path of the soldiers around Wu Shanyan. His lips moved slightly and said: "Drag him out of the circle and then beat him. The attack will count."
Liu Tingyong was able to take the lead among the soldiers who complained, which was also worth some force. Seeing that Zhang Wenxi had really created a good opportunity for him, he suddenly rose up, rushed out from behind Zhang Wenxi, rushed into Wu Shanyan's circle of soldiers, and snatched him out of the crowd.
The soldiers around Wu Shanyan thought the matter was over, but they didn't expect Liu Tingyong to suddenly rise up and attack the governor with his bare hands. They were all stunned. Those who drew their swords drew their swords, and those who drew their guns drew their guns.
Zhang Wenxi turned around, protected Liu Tingyong from behind, and shouted: "Don't touch me, don't hurt Mr. Wu!" He spread his arms and flashed to prevent the soldiers from coming to rescue Governor Wu.
Wu Shanyan was in his fifties, and his body had long been emptied of wine and sex, weighing one hundred and twenty kilograms of bones and flesh. At this time, Liu Ting was grabbed by the big man, and there was no room for struggle. He staggered a few steps and rushed to the open space in the courtyard.
When the soldiers following Liu Tingyong saw their eldest brother rising up, they also swarmed forward. They picked up their sabers again and forced Wu Shanyan's soldiers back. Zhang Wenxi shouted: "Protect the Governor!" But his steps moved back, and he was squeezed out of the circle in a moment.
The soldiers did not expect that this guy Zhang Wenxi would defect to Liu Tingyong, and he would actually succeed in a sneak attack. When Wu Shanyan was surrounded by soldiers, they did not dare to use firearms for fear of hurting the governor himself.
If the knife is used, the number of people will not be enough. Ma Bian beside Wu Shanyan picked up the bamboo whistle and blew it hard, and the large group of people outside the door immediately swarmed in.
But it was useless to bring in large forces. Wu Shanyan had already fallen into the hands of Liu Tingyong and others. Zhang Wenxi saw Liu Ting on the periphery using his left and right bows, and slapped Wu Shanyan's face with his big mouth, not to mention the joy in his heart.
The soldiers around Wu Shanyan rushed into the crowd with swords to rescue the governor. Although Liu Tingyong slapped Wu Shanyan at this time, he was still watching the situation. When he saw someone rushing in with a knife, he followed what Zhang Wenxi had taught him before and shouted: "Brothers, throw away the knives and form a human wall - let me see who dares to let our brothers see blood today!"
His prestige was still relatively strong. After hearing this, all the soldiers threw down their weapons again and formed a human wall to block the soldiers.
Those personal soldiers were really considered dead by Zhang Wenxi, and he did not dare to use knives to hurt these soldiers. If these people were using their bare hands, it would not be a mutiny. If they saw blood, Wu Shanyan would be convicted of forcing a mutiny, and he would inevitably have to go to the execution ground.
Ma Bian beside Wu Shanyan shouted: "Throw down your weapons and charge!" This sentence woke up the man in his dream. The soldiers around Governor Wu all threw down their weapons, rushed into the crowd and started fighting.
Two hundred against seventy-eight, the force value is still high when there are many people. Wu Shanyan was rescued by the soldiers without even taking a cup of tea. But at this time, Governor Wu had been ruined and looked like a human being, with his hair in a messy bun and his face full of peach blossoms.
He saw wolves running around and pigs running around in the yard, a mess, covering the corners of his cracked mouth, and fire was about to burst out of his eyes. He stared at Zhang Wenxi and said with hatred: "Zhang Nianhua! We two will fight until death."
Zhang Wenxi, courtesy name Nianhua, was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli. From the secretary of the attendant's office, Lang, to the censor, he once patrolled Shaanxi, and at this time patrolled Zhejiang and was also the examiner of the Zhejiang provincial examination. After listening to Wu Shanyan's threat, I said in my heart that as long as I don't die, I will let you go home in the case of "Martyr Ma Wenying" - if I keep digging, looking at the way you are at a loss today, I guess the outcome will not be too bad. good.
At this time, he had called several investigators from the Supervision Bureau to his side and surrounded himself to avoid being hit by the Taiping Fist. Hearing this, he just smiled coldly, snorted, and looked up at the sky.
Wu Shanyan failed to steal the chicken but was beaten violently. His official authority was gone. He had no intention of pestering him too much. He waved his hand and said: "Call the team and go back home!"
The captain of the soldiers beside him asked: "Sir, what about these rebels?"
Wu Shanyan slapped him in the face and cursed: "I've lost all my face to you! They came to complain, what can you do? They had a conflict with me, and they didn't attack the governor's office. In the post What can you do in the political hotel? Go back, go back!"
The captain of the personal soldiers felt a chill in his heart when he saw that although Liu Tingyong and others were already lying on the ground, there were still happy smiles on their faces. He rubbed his face, stopped talking nonsense, and headed out to lead the team.
Unexpectedly, one wave was over and another wave was rising. At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves outside, and an old voice shouted: "The imperial edict has arrived!"
Zhang Wenxi was stunned when he heard this. The voice sounded like it belonged to Hai Rui. He rubbed his eyes, and sure enough he saw Hai Rui holding a piece of paper and riding a tall horse into the Yi Zheng Hotel.
Zhang Wenxi hurriedly rushed forward, helped Hai Rui off the horse and said: "My lord, you are one year shy of 70 years old, why are you still riding a horse? If this is good or bad, how uncomfortable will it be for the emperor?"
Wu Shanyan couldn't stand the flattery of an official born in the attendant's office, who looked like an internal official, and curled his lips when he heard this. He knew that Ma Junxian had been to Hai Rui's residence, and he had murderous intentions to silence him, but was foiled by the guards around Hai Rui.
His intention to instigate a mutiny this time was to cut through the mess quickly and clean up the mess before the court could react. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Hai Rui would actually request an order. How could it happen so quickly?
After dismounting, Hai Rui nodded to Wu Shanyan, pointed to an official dismounting behind him and introduced to Zhang Wenxi: "This is Zhang Juyin, the censor of Youqiandu. You two families can work closely together."
They were all top officials in the officialdom. As soon as Zhang Wenxi heard Hai Rui's words, he knew that Wu Shanyan was going to be in bad luck. Wu Shanyan was as panicked as a dog, and he forced himself to stay calm and watch how Hai Rui behaved.
Hai Rui unfolded the piece of paper in his hand and shouted, "There is a will! You all will kneel down and listen!"
Wu Shanyan sneered and said: "Master Hai, falsely preaching an imperial edict is a capital offense! It's hard to wipe your butt with a piece of paper, so you say it's an imperial edict?"
When Hai Rui heard this, his triangular eyes rolled under his thick white eyebrows, and he looked Wu Shanyan up and down. Then he sneered and said: "Thankfully you are still a high-ranking official who can directly report with silver seals. You don't even know about 'Guang Bao'. This is the imperial edict of Guang Bao. The imperial court issued the format long ago - you, the dignified governor, don't know this?"
His eyes were like lightning, and he looked directly at Wu Shanyan, with awe-inspiring power on his face full of grooves, and shouted: "What, Governor Wu is going to resist the decree?"
How could Governor Wu have the courage? After listening to Hai Rui's explanation, he secretly cursed himself for being dizzy and quickly knelt down.
Hai Rui sneered and said, "You made rude remarks and slandered the imperial edict. How can I let this imperial envoy take it easy? I am acting on behalf of God today, right and left! First slap twenty!"
Wang Jieru, who was next to Hai Rui, walked up to Wu Shanyan and saw that there wasn't much room for attack on his face. She worried in her heart: "How can I hit him?" She had no choice but to close her eyes and give him another twenty blows.
Originally, the slap on the mouth needed to be slapped with a wooden stick, but the reputation of "Thunder Hand" was not in vain. After twenty slaps, Wu Shanyan's face became transparent, like a crystal bear's paw.
This slap in the face completely wiped out Wu Shanyan's arrogance, causing him to bow his head and tremble. Hai Rui saw that he was honest, so he announced the decree.
The purpose is simple. Wu Shanyan is suspended from his post because he is a major suspect in the "Ma Wenying Martyr Case". The governor's duties are temporarily taken over by Zhang Jiayin - until the investigation is clear, the court will decide on the solution.
Zhang Jiayin accepted the order, signaled to help Wu Shanyan who was lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Imperial Envoy. Lord Wu, let's go to the governor's Yamen to hand over the seal."
Hai Rui saw that the Yizheng Hotel was in a mess and Hangzhou soldiers were lying on the floor. He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Before Zhang Wenxi could answer, a strong man who was lying on the ground sat up with difficulty, stretched out his right hand, and shouted: "Master Hai Qingtian! Long live the emperor, long live the Holy Ming!" Then the injured soldiers also shouted at the top of their lungs. , the voice of blue sky and long live is endless.
Hai Rui still frowned and asked, "Who did the beating here? Where is the director of the post office?"
The director of the Post Office, who had been watching the excitement for a long time from a distance, ran over, nodded and bowed: "Master Hai, I am here, what are your orders?"
Hai Rui said: "Whoever just vandalized public property, you can't let them go. Let them pay for the decoration money first!"
Everyone present turned to stone, saying in their hearts: "This...is very Hai Rui!"
