I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 107
Chapter 106

The root cause of this situation is actually Cheng Shijie.Cheng Shijie's ideological transformation of Ning Haijun was not thorough, also because of time, and secondly because Cheng Shijie deliberately created a gap between rich and poor within Ning Haijun.

Because Ning Haijun's military merits and rewards are calculated according to the first rank, Ning Haijun Youdusi, who has fought the most, is actually the record of the bandits who are not strong in combat. Now the soldier with the highest record is Zhang Wei's Baizong , as early as when Zhang Wei was still the head of the post, the first expansion of the Ning Navy was ushered in. Because Zhang Wei's post training was not up to standard, he did not get a combat mission.

Zhang Wei's sentry, as the guard of the captives, was responsible for monitoring the bandit captives. When Mao Shiwan was conquering the bandit, Mao Shiwan escaped too quickly. More than forty people were captured.

These bandits were sent to Zhang Wei's department for custody, especially at that time when Ning Haijun seized a lot, which was good for the bandit captives. When eating, although the captives were relatively poor, this poorness was for Ning Haijun soldiers. Brown rice, but you can eat a second bowl, and if you are lucky, you will get a palm-sized salted fish.

This meal moved Zhang Tong, the number one under Mao Shiwan's command, to the breaking point. Zhang Tong was originally the second son of Zhang Bingsheng, a tycoon in Mouping County, Dengzhou Prefecture. During the exam, he accidentally killed his classmate Wen Jun during a martial arts competition. In terms of family background, the Zhang family is not as good as the Wen family, and his father couldn't help him calm down the disaster. bandit.

It's just a pity that Mao Shiwan, a bandit, doesn't do well. Even Zhang Tong, the hero Mao Shiwan relies on, is often hungry. Seeing that Ning Haijun's captives only need to work hard, they can eat enough After dinner, he discussed with Zhang Wei to go back and bring down the bandit brothers from the mountain.

Zhang Wei agreed to Zhang Tong's proposal, and just like that, more than 480 people under Mao Shiwan's command were fooled by Zhang Tong and more than [-] people went down the mountain. confidant.

When Ning Haijun was discussing meritorious service, Zhang Wei, the whistle chief, naturally made great contributions. Since none of Zhang Wei's subordinates knew about it, the more than 480 captives were all Zhang Wei's achievements. Even if they were not captured on the battlefield, the captives It is the captives, plus the first contribution of capturing Mao Shiwan, Zhang Wei has become the person with the most records in the Ning Navy so far. Not only was he promoted from the captain of the post to the chief of the hundred, but he was also rewarded with more than 6000 acres of land.

All the soldiers of the Ning Navy Infantry Youdusi have the least record of six or seven ranks, or rewards for military merits of hundreds of acres of land. There is another way to gain land benefits, and that is to get promoted.

The field of military posts at the level of a hundred generals is [-] mu, the general is [-] mu, the thousand is [-] mu, and the commander is [-] mu. This military post country is different from military merit fields. Military merit fields can be hereditary. It can also be passed on to one's own son, but the military field is only eligible to farm during the working period, and this military field also needs to pay taxes.

Except for the officers and generals of the Ning Navy Navy, ordinary soldiers have no land. They only have one or two or five dollars a month.Ning’s navy has little hope of being promoted, because the difficulty of expanding the navy is dozens of times that of the infantry, unless, like this time, five large Western ships were seized from Meng Xianhan. These ships were all within ten years old and belonged to the new boat.

It can be modified to join the battle sequence of the Ning Navy Navy. As for the small broken pirate ship that was captured, it was just split as firewood.

For the naval forces with one radish and one hole, if someone wants to be promoted, he can only have a chance if someone else dies in battle or makes a mistake.

The current Ning Navy Navy is headed by Li Zhixiang, a rising star of the Dongjiang Army. Shen Shikui set up a game to trick Li Zhixiang. If Li Zhixiang is fooled, his position will definitely change. Shen Shikui's opportunity has come.

But the problem is, Shen Shikui wanted to pull Li Zhixiang down, and Chen sometimes wanted to pull Li Zhixiang and Shen Shikui down, and the result was very obvious, all the generals in the entire Ning Navy Navy were not stupid.

Seeing the information, Cheng Shijie naturally thought of future generations. In the workplace, there are actually many seniors who are similar to Ning Haijun. It is due to some reasons such as salary reduction. Some people complained about it, and some people yelled at you. If you take it seriously, then you will be fooled.

The author Jun just entered the unit, he was taught a lesson by the old six, which is still fresh in his memory.In the workplace, it is best not to treat colleagues as friends who talk about everything, otherwise it will be miserable. Of course, this is not absolute, and some colleagues will be good friends, but most colleagues will stab each other and smash black bricks.

"Marshal, how should we deal with the affairs of the Ning Navy Navy?"

"Process, why do you need to process?"

Cheng Shijie said with a faint smile: "This kind of thing will be very common in the future. Whether it is in the court or in the army, this kind of thing cannot be avoided!"

As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no fish.Everyone can say grandiose words, but not everyone can handle things openly.The current Ning Navy sailors are all transformed by a group of veterans. They are all ordinary people. They all stare at the meat in the bowl, and they all want to eat more.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights.

"Don't move them? That's too cheap, these bastards!"

According to the first-hand information Chen Guodong obtained, the initiator of this incident was Shen Shikui, but the problem is that the reason Shen Shikui gave to Cheng Shijie is also tenable, at least the officers and generals who were originally from the Dongjiang Army Navy believed it, but Cheng Shijie did not. Clean up Shen Shikui's reasons.

Of course, there is no reason, just like the testimony of Li Zhixiang and Chen Shikui, they can clean up Shen Shikui, but the problem is, who can guarantee that Shen Shikui must have a different heart?And Chen Shi, including Li Zhixiang and others, must have no dissatisfaction?
It is exactly what was said back then, it does not matter if cadres make mistakes, the key is to correctly understand their own mistakes and correctly face evaluations from all sides.

It is much easier to recover a cadre who made a mistake than to train a cadre.Because cadres make mistakes, in simple terms, like a husband and wife getting divorced, [-]% of them will regret it.Although some people will be stubborn and refuse to admit it, they will definitely regret it in their hearts.The same is true for cadres who make mistakes. As long as they are not mistakes in principle, they can be forgiven.

"If you don't need them, who can I use?"

Cheng Shijie naturally knew that these generals from the Dongjiang Army had too many problems. In fact, it was not just an organization in the Dongjiang Army. Would the Dengzhou Army Navy be all right?Corrupting military pay, selling arms privately, falsely reporting military exploits, eating empty credits, drinking soldiers' blood... There are too many such scumbags.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, people like Cheng Shijie who did not drink the blood of soldiers were an absolute minority. There were some things that Cheng Shijie couldn't help.For example, some cadres like to learn foreign languages, and the people around him like to learn foreign languages.

Some leaders like to sing or wash their feet, and the people around him are either Maiba, or a group of people who like to wash their feet the most.

Cheng Shijie looked at Chen Guodong and said: "Unless our Ning Haijun's school can train our own people, otherwise I can only use them, and I can promote junior officers, but the problem is that they can't even read. They can't understand the military order, what should they do if they miss a major event at that time?"

In fact, Cheng Shijie also believes that as long as the officers and men of the Ning Navy Navy are not stupid, they will not betray him, because the reason is very simple, the Navy is a very expensive military branch.

Although in the era of sailing warships, warships did not need to consume fuel when going to sea, the problem is that although they do not consume fuel, they need to consume a lot of tung oil, ropes, canvas and asphalt. In later generations, asphalt is the garbage of oil refining. After less repairs, asphalt can only be used as a waterproof and anti-corrosion material, with limited uses and low prices.

But the problem is that asphalt is very expensive in this era. It is an excellent material for waterproofing warships. What's more, the large shipyard Cheng Shijie plans to build has already begun to dig experienced craftsmen everywhere. , They follow Cheng Shijie to have a way out.

Soon, the Navy of the Ning Navy docked at Jinzhou Port, and the materials, silver, money, etc. seized from Xiaonan Island were all transported to Jinzhou Acropolis, which is Cheng Shijie's Ning Navy General's Mansion.

After more than a month of intensive construction, Ning Haijun's general military mansion finally has some appearance, at least the warehouse is complete.

Admiral Zhong Ning met Cheng Shijie enthusiastically.

"Meet the Master!"

Cheng Shijie raised his hand and said: "You generals have worked hard. This commander has always been fair in running the army. He will be rewarded for his achievements and punished for his mistakes. In this battle, Li Fang, Chen Dayong and other generals worked hard to kill the enemy and wiped out more than 490 enemies. , captured 250 nine people, captured 3000 million taels of silver, 19 taels of gold, 600 catties of brass, and more than [-] pearls. According to military regulations, a heavy reward should be given, but..."

Hearing this, the smiles that were originally fixed on the faces of the generals seemed to freeze. They all understood what happened, and looked at each other with unkind eyes.

But after that, Cheng Shijie burned the nineteen secret letters directly in front of the generals, and then there was nothing else.

Which of the generals present is not a human being?
Seeing this scene, I immediately understood what happened.

Shen Shikui looked at Li Zhixiang and said to himself, "It's a pity!"

Li Zhixiang left the hall of the General Military Mansion and looked at Shen Shikui's back: "Vice General Shen, you did a good job... Fortunately, Li was not fooled!"

"Each each other..."

"Little man!"

"You despicable!"

"I bother!"

"The one whose surname is Li, then you damn... If I believe you one more word, my surname will be Li..."

"Don't, I can't give birth to such a big son!"

"roll!"

"What a dog!"

……

The generals of the Ning Navy now understood what kind of people they were surrounded by, and the swearing was light. Chen sometimes hurried away because he found that several generals around him surrounded him, one against three However, Chen is still sure sometimes, one against five, and he will definitely be beaten.

……

Xie Zongze suppressed his dissatisfaction, finished the affairs of the Ning Naval Academy, checked the homework received by more than a dozen talented teachers, and finished the corrections while pinching his nose.Only then did Shi Ran return home against the darkness.

The house that Cheng Shijie allocated to Xie Zongze was a house with three entrances in Jinzhou Weicheng. , placed in Jinzhou City, it is already considered a mansion.

But the problem is that a mansion is not a mansion, and it needs to be compared. The Xie family is a prominent family in Linshu County, Jinan Prefecture. The Xie family's ancestral house in the south of the county seat was built by the Xie family for twelve generations. It covers an area of ​​more than 150 mu. With more than 300 houses, the house Cheng Shijie gave him is not even comparable to the cross courtyard of Xie's ancestral house.

As for the carved beams and painted buildings of the Xie family's ancestral house, there is nothing to be seen here, even the house built by the Xie family in the farm is more luxurious than this house.

As soon as Xie Zongze entered the house, his face became tense. His old wife came out to greet him, as did his second son and daughter. He walked to the second hall and sat down, began to change clothes, and his wife brought tea.

Xie Zongze was framed by Song Xiance's design. At the time, he really didn't realize it, and later he did, but the matter has come to this point, and he can't undo it. However, the problem is, what Song Xiance did was worse than he imagined.

Not only was he controlled in Ninghai Prefecture, but he was sent directly to Jinzhou Wei, and his one wife and four concubines, three sons and two daughters, 22 people including his eldest grandson and daughter-in-law, and even his servants were sent to Jinzhou for him. guard.

Under such circumstances, Xie Zongze had no choice but to cooperate. If he did not cooperate, the whole family would probably suffer.

"Where's Dalang?"

Xie Zongze's eldest son is Xie Jinglin, the second son Xie Jingsen, and the youngest Xie Jingcai.

"Da Lang is reading!"

"Read, read, what's the use of reading!"

Xie Zongze himself, after winning the exam, went to Beijing to catch up with the exam, and he might be able to be admitted to the Jinshi. As a result, his father died that year, so he had to observe the filial piety for three years according to the system, but he entered the exam room again, but it was not as good as the first time. In his late [-]s, his utilitarianism became much smaller.

I never thought that I would fall into the hands of the bandits first, and then be framed by the design. Now I even have no chance to take the imperial examination.

Xie Zongze's self-esteem was already high, and he was already very aggrieved because he didn't pass the Jinshi exam, so he hoped that his son could study hard to get a background in a professional department, so that he could feel proud in the clan and in front of others.

But now, even his son's imperial examination path was cut off, and he was even more aggrieved.

Xie Jinglin, the eldest son of Xie Zongze, is actually dead. Xie Jinglin likes to study things and mathematics, but he doesn't like to make subjects. After passing the examination at the age of 15, he took part in the provincial examination twice, and then refused to take the provincial examination because of lack of talent and learning.

Even if there was no such incident, Xie Jinglin would not be able to be admitted to Jinshi, because his heart was not used to this, Xie Zongze's troubles were not limited to his son.

His eldest daughter, Xie Susu, was smart and eager to learn since she was a child. She was only taught basic reading materials such as the filial piety classics and female rules, but this girl came and went and became proficient in everything, even Xie Zongze himself was a little Jaw-dropping.

Everyone in the Jinan Mansion knows that the Xie family has a talented woman, but the status of the Xie family is very embarrassing, no one can rank high or low, those with a higher family background disdain to propose to him, while those with a lower family background are afraid of the illustrious name of the talented woman. She dared not come to the door to ask for a marriage. She came and went again and again. This eldest daughter turned into an old lady who guarded the boudoir. She is already 22 years old this year, but she still cannot leave the court. This is an almost shocking thing in this era. .Xie Zongze was even more worried when he was forced to move from Shandong to Jinzhou.

How can Ning Haijun have a talent that can catch Xie Zongze's eyes?Ma Shilin's talent and learning are good, but his eldest son is 12 years old, Lu Conglong and Qin Bocheng are both grandfathers, Sun Benju is widowed, but how could Xie Zongze let his precious daughter be used as a house fill?
At this moment, Xie Jinglin was holding a book and muttering while walking, like a psychopath.He murmured: "No, no, this number is wrong..."

It wasn't until he almost ran into Xie Zongze that Xie Jinglin finally realized: "My child has seen Father!"

"If you have time to read more classics and history, what can you do if you are bored in the room all day looking through bad books?"

Xie Jinglin is a typical example of never correcting after being taught repeatedly, but his attitude of admitting his mistakes is very good: "Yes, my lord, my son knows his mistake, my son corrects..."

Xie Susu, who came over with tea soup, said: "Father, you have been working outside for half a day. Although the elder brother is at home, he is also tired all day. It is not easy. You should stop scolding him. People say that the old man is angry. Exuberant, great qi hurts the body, qi is very sick..."

When Xie Zongze saw his daughter, he became angry.

Of course, this is not angry with her daughter, but guilt.

Xie Zongze pointed to Xie Jinglin and said, "Bastard, I don't care about your own life or death. Don't you think about your sister? Your bad reputation of ignorance even ruined her life, why don't you Don't you think about it?"

Xie Susu smiled and said, "Daddy, this is your fault!"

Xie Zongze took the tea from Xie Susu's hand and drank it all in one gulp: "I want to listen to you as a father, what's wrong with being a father?"

Xie Susu retorted: "If it is an ordinary season, it would not be a mistake to read books, cultivate one's morals and govern the world. Zhao Shiji) is such a learned person. He was beheaded by the rioting soldiers, and the whole family of young and old were killed. Is it the benefit of scholars?"

Xie Zongze was really speechless, he thought for a while and said: "As a father, I am not as eloquent as you, so I can't talk about you, but now I want to talk about you!"

"What's the matter with my daughter?" Xie Susu felt a little uncomfortable, this was the rhythm of urging the marriage.

Xie Zongze sighed and said: "My father sent someone to inquire about it. Zhang Huaize was appointed by Marshal Cheng as the head of the engineer. Although this person is in charge of craftsmen, he came from the Zhang family in Laiyang. If it was before, our Xie family would not be able to reach their Zhang family." Now Zhang’s family is in decline, this Zhang Huaize is still unmarried, although he is a little poor, he is talented and educated, if he participates in the system, he might be able to go to high school..."

Only then did Xie Zongze realize that his daughter was sitting slumped on the chair, her eyes were blank.

Xie Zongze was a little anxious: "What's the matter Susu?"

"Daughter is fine!"

Xie Susu smiled wryly: "It was Susu who shamed father and mother! It was the daughter who dragged you down..."

"This Zhang Huaize can't fall into Susu's eyes?"

"The Zhang family of Laiyang has a prominent background, but..."

Xie Susu's tone was extremely firm: "My daughter would rather marry a lady than a scholar!"

"If you don't marry a scholar, you want to marry those poor soldiers. What's the reason..."

"daughter!"

Just when Xie Susu was about to answer, the concierge came in and said, "My lord, Marshal Cheng, the commander of Ning's navy, is coming to visit!"

"what……"

Xie Zongze hurriedly said: "Please hurry up, no, the old man will welcome you in person!"

Cheng Shijie's prestige is known to everyone in southern Liaoning. He is a murderous maniac. When he first came to southern Liaoning, more than 6000 Jiannu and Mongols were killed by Cheng Shijie. The bodies of these Jiannu and Mongols, It was built on Jinshi Mountain in Gaizhou and became a huge Jingguan.

What's more, many military households in southern Liaoning are all prisoners of Ning Haijun. The rumors about Cheng Shijie are becoming more and more outrageous. It takes three hearts to eat...

However, in Xie Zongze's view, Cheng Shijie controls the lives of Xie Zongze's family and must not be offended.

When Xie Zongze walked to the door, he turned his head inadvertently, but saw Xie Susu's face turned slightly red, his eyes flickered, and he was extremely shy...

This is……

Cheng Shijie is alone in southern Liaoning and in Shandong. He is a single widower. Although Cheng Shijie is 35 years old, as long as he is willing and willing to marry his sister-in-law, he can travel from southern Liaoning to Dengzhou.

This is not an exaggeration.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were still people who despised chains. Literati and gentry looked down on military officials, military officials looked down on powerful people, and powerful people looked down on ordinary people. Although military officials were not prominent enough and lived very humble in front of civil officials, military officials were also officials, and they were not something ordinary people could provoke.

As far as Xie Susu's mind is concerned, Cheng Shijie really has no love for men and women. After all, the education she has received in her life is to let her obey the three virtues, and she can't think about things she shouldn't think about, and she can't watch things she shouldn't see.

Xie Susu had heard a lot of rumors about Cheng Shijie, but she really wanted to see who could scare the Shandong bandits, put down the Kong Youde rebellion during the half-moon rebellion, and turn the murderous Jiannu into a Beijing temple.

It's like being a fan of later generations, seeing an idol right away, a little excited.

Of course, in Xie Zongze's eyes, this is his own girl Sichun.

A moment later, the middle door of Xie's mansion opened wide, with Xie Zongze in front, Xie Jinglin in the back, 17-year-old Xie Jingsen in second, 12-year-old Xie Jingcai in the last, and the whole family strode out neatly to welcome them.

Xie Zongze clasped his fists in salute and forced a smile on his face, "The commander-in-chief came to the humble house, and even cast himself as a famous assassin. It really killed Zonglin and his son..."

Cheng Shijie was a little strange, why did Mrs. Xie look at him so strangely?
