Fujian Chief Envoy Wang Zhonghe, Dudu Commander Shi Qidong, and Xingdu Commander Shi Guoqing arrived at the county government office of Nanping County, Yanping Prefecture, and jointly visited Governor Yu Xinyu.
It is rare for such a big figure to come to Nanping.
Liu Xiao, the chief secretary of the county government, greeted him personally and said hello with a smile, "Oh, you guys go to Governor Yu. I will report later." Not long after, Liu Xiao came out and said very apologetically that Governor Yu was meeting with important guests and some of them still had to wait. So what, let's go have a cup of tea in a side room and wait.
After an hour, the tea had no taste at all. Liu Xiao ran back and forth more than a dozen times, but Yu Xin didn't come out. This made Wang Zhonghe and others extremely uneasy. They didn't know what kind of distinguished guest was worthy of Yu Xin. He paid so much attention to it that he even ignored the chief envoy of a province!
Liu Xiao was urged again. After turning the corner and entering the back hall, he looked up at the sky. What a visitor, what about Yu Xin? He is not at the Nanping County Government Office at all. If you come here to look for him, it would be strange to find him.
But Liu Xiao didn't dare not cooperate. This was something Yu Xin had told him, and there were people from the Security Bureau watching him nearby. If he wasn't careful, he might go to the dungeon to lay floors and sing songs with the Nanping magistrate.
Wang Zhonghe, Qi Dong, and Guo Qing were deceived for more than three hours. Seeing that the sun was going down and Yu Xin didn't come to see them, they couldn't help but become nervous, thinking that this was a trap.
Qi Dong couldn't bear his temper. He walked out of the county government office and checked around, but saw no suspicious people. Then he returned to find Wang Zhonghe and Guo Qing: "Things are very wrong. We can't stay here and wait for Governor Yu. We should do it in time." Go back to Jian'an."
"Yes, I always feel like there's something wrong here."
Guo Qing had a bad feeling.
Wang Zhonghe didn't know what Yu Xin was up to. He didn't ask if he didn't come, and he didn't see him when he came. Who did he think he was?
We can't waste it any longer. Let's leave now.
Wang Zhonghe left the county government office directly on the grounds that he was "busy with official duties" and hurried to Jian'an. He was nervous all the way. When he arrived at a place called Xiaba, he was stopped by the patrol sergeant.
Qi Dong showed his Dusi badge and said sternly: "Everyone, Dusi, get out of my way when you are doing something!"
Inspection sergeant Jin Jiu was originally a top soldier of the Fuzhou Guard. He was selected by Yu Xin and directly promoted to Baihu. He was asked to inspect the Xiaba Pass with one order:
No one is allowed to enter Jianning Mansion without Yu Xin's warrant.
When Wang Zhonghe and others left, they also walked down the dam. Jin Jiu did not stop him because Yu Xin made it very clear that he was not allowed to enter. In other words, regardless of leaving...
Jin Jiu looked at Qi Dong's waist badge and shook his head firmly: "According to Governor Yu's order, no one is allowed to enter Jianning Mansion."
Qi Dong was used to being arrogant, but when he saw Jin Jiu disobeying him, he became angry: "Do you know who you are stopping? I am Shi Qidong, the commander of the Fujian capital, and this is Mr. Shi Guo Qingguo, the commander of the capital. It’s the Chief Envoy Wang Zhong and Mr. Wang. Get out of the way quickly and don’t cause trouble!”
Jin Jiu puffed up his chest and said, "May I ask some of you, do you know who I am?"
Qi Dong was stunned, Wang Zhonghe stared slightly, and Guo Qing was also a little surprised. Could it be that the person in front of him was a powerful person?
Jin Jiuyi patted his chest: "I am Jin Jiu who was appointed by Governor Yu to inspect the dam!"
Wang Zhonghe and others shook their heads. They had never heard of it, but it was obvious that the guy in front of them was a fool. He would not get out of the way at all. It was already dark, so he couldn't change to another way. It would take fifty more miles. Many miles away.
Guo Qing saw that threats and kind words were useless, so he took out a wad of money and handed it to Jin Jiu: "We need to rush to Jian'an as soon as possible to deal with the epidemic, and we need to be accommodating."
Jin Jiu touched a thick stack of money and stuffed it into his arms: "I can't accommodate you."
Guo Qing was angry, you can't be so f*cking accommodating, how dare you take my money?
Jin Jiu looked at Guo Qing and said confidently, "Why can't I take your money if I can't be accommodating? This is what you handed over, and I didn't steal it."
Qi Dong looked at Jin Jiu and others. There were only about twenty people. If they forced their way in, they wouldn't be able to stop them. After all, there were some sergeants hidden behind the three of them. But the problem was that once they hit them, they would definitely Leave a clue for Yu Xin
, when Yu Xin got into trouble, he couldn't explain clearly.
Wang Zhonghe thought for a long time and decided to change his path.
But when Wang Zhonghe led his people to Hongyuan, they found that the patrol sergeant here had also been replaced. Although he was still from Fujian Dusi, the leader was no longer Wang Zhonghe.
Wang Zhonghe, who had been running Fujian for many years, focused on recruiting military generals from a thousand households and above. He did not provide many benefits to the 100-household or big-headed soldiers. When Yu Xin directly promoted the big-headed soldiers to 100-households, he ordered them to cooperate with the court. , when the rewards were discussed based on military merit, they completely switched sides.
Those who are hesitant, disloyal, and hesitant are directly controlled.
Wang Zhonghe was completely panicked. He and his group were blocked in Yanping Mansion outside Jianning Mansion! ..
Although Jianning Mansion is not Wang Zhonghe's home base, it is the headquarters of Fujian Xingdu Division. It has a group of guards and sergeants in its hands. It is Wang Zhonghe's most powerful mansion outside Fuzhou.
Even if they ran to dawn, Wang Zhonghe and others did not enter Jianning Mansion.
Wang Zhonghe knew that Yu Xin had already started to take action, but his method was silent!
Seeing the situation, Commander Shi Qidong said to the silent Wang Zhonghe: "There are three ways to go now. One is to rush through the inspection checkpoint and go straight to Jian'an."
Wang Zhonghe shook his head: "No, once we take action, it means violating Yu Xin's prohibition and directly confronting the court. In this case, there will be no room for maneuver."
Qi Dong frowned: "If this doesn't work, then the second option is to return to Fuzhou and sit in the base camp to control the situation."
Wang Zhonghe looked at Qi Dong with squinted eyes: "Yu Xin stayed in Fuzhou for a few days, and the news there was also interrupted. How many changes have happened in the Chief Envoy Division, the Inspectorate Envoy Division, and the Command History Division, and how many people have been controlled? We have not yet received specific information. We don’t know whether anyone has betrayed us or what evidence Yu Xin has. At this time, it is difficult to say whether the three guards in Fuzhou are under our control or under Yu Xin’s control. "
Qi Dong didn't believe it: "How could the Three Guards of Fuzhou be controlled so easily? Don't say how many days. Even if you give Yu Xin three months, don't even think about taking away the Three Guards of Fuzhou. How many of the soldiers there have benefited from your favor?" As long as you go back and raise your arms, countless people will respond and follow."
Wang Zhonghe lamented twice. The support and support of the sergeants in ordinary times may not be reliable in extraordinary times. After all, Yu Xin is the governor of the imperial court and comes with the emperor's imperial edict. He also has the assistance of the navy, security bureau, etc., although it may not be possible in a short time. The three guards in Fuzhou were purged internally, but it was still possible to deal with some of the leaders and intimidate the sergeants.
Qi Dong stamped his feet: "This won't work, that won't work either, then take the third way, stay in Yanping and die!"
Guo Qing was also a little anxious and quickly persuaded Wang Zhonghe: "We can't sit still and wait for death. If we are stuck in Yanping, we won't be able to take action at all! Either go to Jian'an or Fuzhou, we can't hesitate any longer."
Wang Zhonghe thought for a long time and finally decided, saying viciously: "Go to Jian'an. Only when we gain momentum in Jian'an can we return to Fuzhou and regain the initiative. Arrange sergeants to disguise themselves as bandits and kill the sergeants blocking the road!" "
Murder is nothing to Wang Zhonghe.
Nanping, build riverside.
Li Jian trained his sergeants and was ready to join the battle to pacify Fujian. However, Li Jian never expected that Zhu Yunwen's intention was not to cooperate with Yu Xin in rectifying Fujian, but to withdraw from Jianjiang and directly enter the southeastern sea. Reorganize the navy and prepare to invade Xiaoliuqiu Island!
"What exactly is going on?"
Li Jian looked at the commander of the Security Bureau, Yue Sihai, who was delivering the order, and was full of doubts: "Does the Emperor know about the situation in Fujian?"
Yue Sihai said to the worried Li Jian: "Don't you really think that a plague is worthy of personal escort by the navy commander and worthy of using all the steam engines and Dafu ships?"
Li Jian was horrified.
What does Yue Sihai mean? Could it be that he came to Fujian not to deliver supplies to Yu Xin and the medical officers, but that he had other arrangements? And this arrangement is for Xiaoliuqiu Island? !
"Go, Xiaoliuqiu Island is very important to the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court has decided to include it in the Ming Dynasty's territory."
Yue Sihai urged Li Jian to leave quickly.
Li Jian looked at the imperial edict. The content did not mention the Qingyuan Pirates. It only said that Xiaoliuqiu Island should be controlled to eliminate banditry forever. Li Jian didn't say much. The imperial edict has been issued, so let's implement it. As for the issue of Fujian, Yue Sihai is here, so what are you worried about?
Yue Sihai is the commander of the Security Bureau. He must not be alone when he comes to Fujian. Zhu Yunwen must be aware of the difficulties in Fujian officialdom, so he arranged for officials at the same level to deal with it.
Since the emperor has arrangements, let's follow his overall plan.
Capital, Wuying Palace.
Snapped!
Zhu Yunwen knocked down a white piece.
Yang Rong, who was holding black on the opposite side, looked at the chess game and shook his head with a wry smile: "Your Majesty's chess moves are treacherous and unpredictable. I lost."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "There is nothing unpredictable about the chess game. It's just about taking over the overall situation, seeing three moves in one move, and taking two moves ahead."
Yang Rong nodded in approval. What Zhu Yunwen has done over the years is like a skilled chess player. One piece after another, he has laid out a grand chess game, constantly kicking out the black pieces that hinder the white piece's "qi".
Ordinary people cannot seize the opportunity and can only wait for the opportunity. Extraordinary people can gain a head start. There are not many people like Zhu Yunwen who directly want to take advantage of the situation.
But Zhu Yunwen's two-step advantage was in the overall situation. There were still black stones on the chessboard. It was impossible and impossible for him to capture all the black stones in one go. Even if the chess game went to the end, he could only It's more white and less black.
Today's Ming Dynasty is a big chess game with two steps to take the lead.
Today's Fujian is just a corner of a chess game, with more black and less white.
Yang Rong looked deeply at Zhu Yunwen, pointed to a corner of the chessboard, and said with profound meaning: "The emperor has won the whole game, but there are always some areas that have not been resolved."
Zhu Yunwen looked down and replied softly: "It's not solved because the chessboard is not big enough..."
