Chapter 1068 Uncle, order it!

"Self-defilement?"

Jin Yong, deputy general of the Tengshe Camp, asked with a puzzled face, "What is the policy of 'self-pollution'?"

All of a sudden, in the central hall of the Xuanfu Township General Military Office, everyone's eyes were on Wei Zhice, expecting him to explain the secret to everyone.

But Wei Zhice was not in a hurry to speak. He looked at Zhang Cheng again, and saw that he was looking at him with a smile and nodded slightly to him, so he spoke.

"The profiteers bribed the officials in the court to impeach my uncle, doing false accusations and attacks. However, the current emperor has a lot of faith in the uncle, but it has not seen any effect. I think he will not stop there.

Today, he must have been instructed by an expert to spread the story of my uncle's brave victory over the three armies in the capital. In fact, it is not to pass on the prestige of my brave army, but to hide evil intentions, so that my brave army will be cut off from the commanders-in-chief of all towns and towns in the country. outside. "

"Why?"

Guo Yingxian didn't seem to understand what Wei Zhice said.

"Old General, please imagine, after the bloody battle between Julu and slaves, my uncle first killed the slave king Yuetuo in Jibei, and then rescued the son of Fufan from danger, and rescued Kaifeng from the siege of thousands of thieves.

Not long ago, I even beheaded the slave king Duoduo in Liaodong, chased down the slave chieftain Hong Tai in Xiaolinghedong, broke the siege of Jinzhou, and defeated the slaves. Achieved by force?

Now, all over the capital, everyone speaks of Uncle's merits, but denies the strength of other towns. If things go on like this, what will the commanders-in-chief of other towns think?What would the Holy Majesty think if he heard these words? "

Wei Zhice looked at the expressions of the people in the hall, and continued: "The emperor gave my uncle the name of being the best in the three armies, and also gave me the military title of bravery, and the battalion title of Weiyuan, which shows that the emperor thinks highly of us.

But now there are more and more rumors in Beijing, it seems that only our brave army can defeat the bandits and repel the slaves, just like last year's battle of Liaodong, it was actually a feat made by the joint efforts of ten soldiers. You can't fight slaves all by yourself.

However, according to the words spread in Beijing, it seems that the other nine generals have not contributed their efforts. All the achievements of breaking the siege of Jinzhou, beheading Duoduo, and repelling the slaves are all credited to my brave army.

Everyone, what they are doing is like putting our Yongyi Army on the fire, making our Yongyi Army independent of the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty towns? "

"It is indeed very dangerous to listen to General Wei's words."

"Damn it, these bastards are really ambitious..."

"Damn it, let me tell you...cut the mess with a sharp knife...don't do anything without doing it...first kill these bastards and then talk!"

"That's right...fuck it... handsome!"

"Yes, uncle...we can't wait any longer..."

In the hall, the crowd was furious, and everyone wished to kill the generals now, and completely eradicate those vicious businessmen who were doing slavery and harming themselves.

Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng looked at everything in front of him, but his expression was very calm. Perhaps everything was going according to plan. For him, it was calm, or it was the experience of these years that made him more calm.

At this moment, seeing that everyone in the hall was full of righteous indignation, Uncle Yongning waved his hand to signal for everyone to calm down first, and then he asked: "General Wei, what kind of 'self-pollution' strategy should be used to resolve this? ?”

Wei Zhice seemed to see something in Zhang Cheng's eyes, he smiled knowingly, and said to everyone very easily: "The so-called self-defilement is to actively expose my shortcomings to everyone.

This is in stark contrast to the glorious image of Yongningbo spread in the middle of Beijing, making people's after-dinner topics change into what we need. "

Yongning Bo immediately affirmed: "The topic is king. You must always remember that in addition to the battlefield where you fight the enemy to the death, there is also the internal public opinion field, which is also very important.

Only by being able to control the topic of gossip in the market, one can advance and retreat freely, use the topic to guide public opinion, and then affect the political situation, which is the meaning of "topic is king". "

Liu Minshen seemed to have realized something, he sat in the chair and stroked his beard with his hands, nodding frequently, while Wang Yuanjing asked with a hesitant expression, "But I still don't understand, what should be used as self-deprecating words? "

In the eyes of everyone praying, Wei Zhice cringed a little. He looked at Zhang Cheng again, but saw that he was nodding slightly to himself, and then he let go of his courage and said: "The general thought that uncle was drinking and making trouble, The fact that drunken sex with prostitutes nearly killed them deserves a special book; and there are all kinds of romantic affairs such as taking concubines in front of the battle and giving palace maids to the imperial court, etc., which can also be publicized with embellishment.

Things like this, although not in line with the court etiquette, are not harmful, and they are the most popular topics among the people. Once we organize it a little, we will send people to tell the storytellers in teahouses and restaurants.

Think about it, everyone, it has spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital in an instant, and it has become the hottest topic in the capital. At that time, who will care whether our uncle is the first?

Moreover, even if these topics spread into the palace and into the ears of the emperor, the most they can do is scold the uncle, so what? "

"Hahaha……"

"It's just...if this happens...I'm afraid our uncle will become even more famous..."

"Hey... just like the saying in Three Kingdoms, 'Guan Erye kills Huaxiong while warming wine', how about we also do 'Yongningbo kills Duoduo while drunk'?"

"That's right, 'Xue Ye attacked the slave camp and killed Yue Tuo with one arrow'. Anyway, the outside world doesn't know the details, and Duoduo and Yue Tuo really died at the hands of the uncle. It's not what we say."

Liu Chengzu, the secretary, also said at this time: "You can also follow the example of the Yang Family's Romance, and describe the uncle as taking concubines on the battlefield, as if Yang Zongbao married Mu Guiying, wouldn't it be more beautiful!"

"That's it, it's settled."

"Uncle, what do you think?"

"Yes, Commander, do you think this matter can be settled?"

After discussing for a while, everyone focused on Yongningbo Zhang Cheng again, waiting for him to make a final decision.

In the eyes of everyone praying, Uncle Yongning said: "What Zhice said, I deeply believe it is true. This matter is up to you and Fangping to handle it. Wang Yuanjing and Liu Minshen can assist you. As for the capital, it is up to you." Niu Sheng and the others are responsible."

"Here." Several people got up and agreed.

Zhang Cheng looked at the few of them, and continued, "Don't just think about the glorious deeds of Uncle Ben. Everyone here, as well as Zhang Xiazi, Chen Zheng, Guodong, and Li Jiyu, should make up some of them."

"Hahaha……"

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and everyone knew very clearly that none of them could escape.

At this time, Yongningbo's voice came again: "There are also battle heroes such as Zhang Jintai, Li Mingjiu, and Fang Sihu, and there is a wall of Li Erdan, sharpshooter Cheng Sanhu and their deeds, they can all be publicized. "

When he said this, his eyes stopped on Liu Chengzu, the secretary, and he suddenly said: "That's right, Liu Chengzu was trapped in a bandit camp with a clear heart, and he came back after going through all kinds of hardships. What he went through when he broke into the camp can also be seen Talk a lot."

"It's still uncle's thoughtfulness, Zhice is really inferior to himself."

Zhang Cheng didn't know what he was thinking, but although he wasn't very cold about these flattering words, he wasn't very disgusted either, so he just smiled at the moment and didn't say much.

However, there is a way to deal with the rumors in the middle of the capital, but there must be an explanation for the emperor bestowing the Earl's Mansion on Yongning. I just heard Zhang Cheng say: "Counselor Liu, please write a memorial to the emperor for me. Be humble and earnest, decline the Yongningbo Mansion bestowed by the Holy Majesty, and implore the Holy Majesty to allow me to temporarily live in the original residence."

"Here."

…………

"Let's discuss later, how to solve the matter in Zhangjiakou."

There was a rare murderous look in Yongningbo's eyes, he glanced coldly at the people in the hall, and said: "Cheng Fang, please introduce the current situation to the generals."

As the adopted son of Uncle Yong Ning, Zhang Chengfang has been with him for more than two years and has been serving as a member of the Chinese Army for almost a year. Now he is mature and stable. Although he may not be able to hold a big job, he is already Zhang Cheng's right hand. assistant.

In the early days, he often followed Lin Fangping and sorted out military intelligence with him. Since Lin Fangping was injured in Liaodong, he was mostly in charge of the military sentinels.

As a Chinese military officer, Zhang Chengfang is also one of the few people who is qualified to contact Su Yiyang. He walked out from Zhang Cheng's side and stood there to introduce the current situation to everyone.

All the people in the hall heard about how the Shanyou Company, which is entrenched in Zhangjiakou, colluded with slaves, spread rumors in the capital to slander Yongning Bo, and made fake military tickets in an attempt to disrupt the fundamental lifeline of the North Road economy.

Especially when they heard how those unscrupulous Shanyou companies persecuted the merchants in Shanxi, Datong and Beilu, they were all very angry.

And when they heard a series of events such as Huairen Gande Ji Qin's rescue and other series of events, they were all excited, and they all applauded and praised.

When I heard how many dens that made counterfeit military tickets were destroyed, the relevant counterfeiters were captured, and the local officials who served as their umbrellas, I gritted my teeth, wishing to kill them all now.

Until the end, when Zhang Chengfang introduced the current problems faced by North Road, such as the policy of restricting the purchase of grain, salt, and tea caused by the shortage of materials, and because of the obstruction of commercial routes, a large number of goods were piled up in the warehouse and could not be shipped out smoothly, etc. wait.

Due to a series of uncertain factors from the outside world, the North Road and East Road had to be closed to the outside world, and the proliferation of fake military tickets caused the Yongyi Army to lose nearly 20 taels of silver. A large amount of food was purchased by fake military tickets.

"Marshal, for the sake of Beilu, for the brave army, for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Xuanfu, my old Guo asks for orders to fight..."

"Uncle, the Weiyuan camp also asks for orders to fight. As long as you give the order, I, Wu Zhizhong, will never let these bastards see the sun tomorrow!"

"Uncle, give the order!"

Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng saw that even Wei Zhice, who was the most thoughtful and calmest, asked for orders to fight, and he knew it was time. However, he did not give orders directly, but glanced deeply at everyone in the hall.

Lin Fangping has practiced by Zhang Cheng's side for a long time. Seeing this situation, he naturally knew what his general's grandfather was thinking, so he got up first and came to the middle of the hall, bowed down and bowed down: "Commander, Fangping invites you to fight, and is willing to be the pioneer. Go to capture and kill the evil merchants who trade slaves, and clear out the traitors and traitors for the brave army and Ming Dynasty."

Under his guidance, Vice General Xu Jinyong of Weiyuan Battalion, Vice Generals Jin Yong and Tang Xiancheng of Tengshe Battalion, Lieutenant He Zhenxiong of Biaoying Battalion, and others all got up and came to the hall, and bowed down together.

"Marshal, I will ask for orders to go to war and eradicate traitors for the country!"

…………

Seeing that the morale of the army was available, Zhang Cheng also knew that it was time to settle everything. He waved his hand and said: "Cheng Fang, bring out the compiled information and show it to the generals."

Soon, Zhang Chengfang led several adoptive sons and soldiers, brought out several large boxes of sorted documents, and bundled them neatly together.

"Generals, here are the collected intelligence and the evidence obtained in the sudden trial, which is enough to prove the fact that Zhangjiakou Shanxi profiteering slaves."

As Zhang Chengfang spoke, he took out a bundle of documents and handed them to Wei Zhice, and then took out another bundle and handed them to the generals present. After passing them around, everyone gasped.

You really don't know if you don't see it, and you are shocked when you see it!
Even after listening to Zhang Chengfang's brief introduction just now, everyone was prepared in their hearts, but when they suddenly saw such detailed information and the list of dripping blood, many people still couldn't help shaking their hands stand up.

Zhangjiakou's group of profiteers from Shanxi is really too powerful.

It can be said that in the three towns of Xuanda, more than 100% of the officials and generals, all kinds of tycoons, are related to them, especially the cities and forts near the Great Wall, not to mention [-]%, [-]% have illicit relations His crime was bribed by everyone.

The border army system of Ming Dynasty is to use the officials of the guards as the generals of the battalions. These generals have been hereditary from generation to generation, and have been passed down from generation to generation. After hundreds of years, the local forces have been deeply rooted. One of the important sources of income.

It can be said that among the three towns, the worst performers, and even the worst criminals, are undoubtedly the warriors.

Those civil servants and eunuchs overseeing the army are okay, after all, they all have terms of office, and they usually have to be rotated to other places within a few years of office.

As they were transferred away, they gradually disappeared, but those military officers and generals in the three towns were different. They were passed down from generation to generation, and their descendants followed each other, just like powerful snakes.

Especially in Shanxi, more than [-]% of local officials and generals have stakes with profiteers, and of course there are other firms in Shanxi and Datong.

After all, the goods smuggled to Jiannu are both diverse and huge in quantity, and it is not possible for the eight of them to do it. Naturally, it is the result of the joint efforts of the entire Shanxi and Datong merchants.

The Shanyou Eight Great Masters in Zhangjiakou are just representative figures on the stage. Of course, they are also the ones who earn the most.

They were intertwined and tightly intertwined, and even implicated other business houses and aristocratic families in the surrounding provinces, weaving a huge network of relationships.

In addition, there are many scholars who have been vigorously cultivated by the family. They have been admitted to the Juren or Jinshi to serve as officials in various places, or to serve in the court. Naturally speaking, they form a privileged class that overrides the secular rules.
