Chapter 231: Rebuke here, recruit troops there
There was no secret in the capital. Especially Wei Zhi, who was discussing the cabinet with a righteous discussion, the character of the ministers in Boron's adherence to principles quickly spread throughout the capital.
This matter was discussed everywhere in the teahouse and wine shops. Whenever the little emperor walked into the gate of Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang Juzheng and the ministers knelt down together and said, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial." Those who heard this could not help but cheer.
It is indeed God blessed the Ming Dynasty, and all the masters are strong and strong, which is admirable.
If you want to pay full salary, this has touched the interests of the entire civil servant group and will inevitably be subject to the strongest rebound. All officials have reported the words of the officials, and even Emperor Wanli cannot treat them casually.
However, no matter how you look at a military general, it is a very reasonable request. Moreover, this matter cannot be caused by life and death.
Moreover, this incident involves Wang Tong, the closest minister of Emperor Wanli. Everyone still remembers the last time the little emperor made such a fierce statement.
The final result was that the Ministry of War and the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei were all denied. The salary was fined for half a year, warning Wang Tongchu to go to Tianjin to do things diligently and carefully, and not to put his mind into other places. He randomly caused trouble and caused trouble. Everything should be followed according to the rules and regulations, and not to break the rules. If there are such bold and reckless things, he will be punished without slack.
Panda's documents repeatedly stated that the example of Tianjin Jinyiwei cannot be issued. All the money cannot be paid according to the old rules. At the same time, he must pay close attention to what Wang Tong did in Tianjin. If there is any illegality or illegality, he must submit an impeachment.
,Wang Fabibei
It’s nothing to do with it, but everyone needs to express their attitude in Tianjin’s full salary. The attitude shows that there is no need to deal with the trouble of offending the emperor to cure the small Qianhu. Wang Tong is now in Tianjin. It’s no longer a problem to no longer be by the emperor.
As for the principles of sages mentioned by Lu Diaoyang. The foundation of the country is that there is no silver umbrella, and there is no promotion of official positions. Who will take it seriously when they are idle?"
On the 25th day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Wanli, many people who went home to celebrate the New Year returned to Tianjin. There was no sign of enlightenment on the frozen canal. The docks and warehouses by the river were deserted, and businessmen from all over the country were doing various preparations, and they would start to be busy by mid-February.
A piece of open space five miles north of Tianjin City is very lively. There are at least thousands of people gather here, and many of them come out of the city to see Reran.
The center surrounded by idle men. The young and strong men from the garrisons outside the city lined up in a not-to-order line, and on a runway made of white gray, there were people running constantly.
Some of the onlookers cheered and some shouted. The runners were running out of breath. Somewhere on the track, several people stared at an hourglass and the incense thread inserted in the incense burner. Every time after a period, some people shouted and stopped.
He called again to stop the young and strong people who had run over before. Everyone was very happy, while the other group of people were dejected.
After calming down, these dejected people came to another place where there were stone locks and stone tiles, and some strange-shaped houses. For example, a wooden carriage is carried on the edge of two stones, and an iron rod and hammer.
Some fat and big-bodied people couldn't run, so they picked up the stone locks and other equipment and lifted them up and put them down. After reaching a certain number of times, someone stopped them. Then these people walked to the back of the wooden table with a arrogant look.
There are many idle people running away, there are more people holding stones and locking heavy objects, and then there are more idle people in front of the wooden platform. This is different from other places.
Some of the young and strong people who came here from various garrisons were also arrogant and slightly reserved characters. These people were strong in figure and dressed better.
The area in front of the wooden platform was divided into two pieces, one place with an arrow target, and a bow and arrow were placed according to the distance of martial arts. Ten people were in a round. After shooting, someone went to check the target and reported the results loudly. If there were those who met the standard, they went to the back of the wooden platform. Those who did not meet the standard had to go to the other side.
The other side was watching the most, and the cheers were rising and falling. Such a wonderful scene could be seen on the street. More than a dozen people wearing bamboo armor and masks stood in the middle, each holding a wooden stick of different lengths in their hands, and each had an opponent.
Many young and strong faces were waiting nervously or excitedly. If they were named, they would change into armor and wear armor and take the wooden stick they chose to fight.
Some people were put on the ground as soon as they met, some people gestured a few times, and some people persisted for a while, but not for too long.
The two archery competitions were not allowed to compete and then they were overturned. They all went to run or lift weights dejectedly. Some people were shouting in front of the wooden platform on the track, and some people saw one side riding a horse or fighting with bare hands. Some people were holding the fire system and holding a target to load ammunition.
Running tests the most basic physical fitness of the body. Weight lifting objects are strength, archery, and competitions include riding a horse and shooting with fire dysfunction. These are all specific skills.
Anything that is qualified
"Sir. There are 256 people who meet the standards, 200 people who meet the standards, 40 people who meet the standards, 32 people who pass the archery competition, and 47 people who are qualified for riding horses. They can compete with bare hands and use the Fire System. A total of twenty-one."
Wang Tong stood on the temporary wooden platform and looked back and forth, and Sun Dahai, Zhang Shiqiang and several Jinyiwei people ran up and down, constantly telling him the result.
"This will only bring six hundred people!"
Regarding this result, Wang Tong immediately frowned, said coldly, turned his head to take a look, and asked in a deep voice:
"Have you tried all the registered ones?"
Zhang Shiqiang nodded, handed over it with something like an account book in his hand, and the names on it were all hooked, and he explained:
"All the people who came here have tried it, and some have tried several projects, but they won't succeed."
"Your Majesty, don't regret it. The children in the ward station are physically strong and capable. Those who have money go to take the martial arts path. Those who have no money wait to recruit soldiers and earn a background. These people are all left. It's good that there are more than a hundred people in archery, martial arts and fire dynasty."
Tan Jiang, wearing bamboo armor, came to the wooden platform at some point. He took off his hood and couldn't see any sweat on his forehead. He explained with a smile.
Bi., Wanbibei
Wang Tong shook his head in a boring feeling. After taking two steps, he turned around and said to Zhang Shiqiang:
"If you don't choose, don't let them go. I told them that my official has a warehouse to recruit workers, and it will manage food and accommodation. The monthly money is 30% higher than that of the city. These young people are better than those in the city. Can they be trapped or encircled?"
Zhang Shiqiang agreed and hurried to do it.
Wang Tong looked around and saw that some of the young people who were not a few years older than him were disappointed, some were excited, and all their joys, sorrows, and happiness were all in their eyes. There were still too few people for him.
Standing there, Wang Tong sighed and whispered:
"It's useless to be anxious, just do it slowly with this scale!"
After that day's conflict, Chuantou Xiang not only did not continue to make trouble, but also sent five hundred taels of silver to apologize. The golden incense head that managed the incense crowd in the city, the white-bearded old man, also came to the Tianjin Jinyiwei Yamen naked with a group of young people to kowtow and apologize.
The other party was so low that Wang Tong couldn't force him too much. The military officer killed people in the street. The civil servant could find out if he wanted to find fault. However, after this incident, Chuan Toutiao Xiang did not make any noise or make trouble, and was suppressed quietly.
Chuan Toutiao's style not only did not relax Wang Tong, but instead made him more wary. The other party's confrontation that day, the turtle afterwards, and the huge scale, no one could take it lightly just because of a few soft words and hundreds of taels of silver.
The biggest trouble that Jinyiwei encountered at the beginning when recruiting new students was that the exam was not found. Needless to say, the small city in Tianjin was small, and every inch of land was valuable outside the city.
Tianjin City and what Wang Tong said in modern times seem to be different. You can see the beach in less than an hour when you go out of the east gate, and you can walk out of the south gate of Tianjin City without a stick of incense.
Therefore, there are warehouses, shops, inns, and corresponding wineries, tea shops and warehouses everywhere, as well as checkpoints and tax offices sent by various yamen, and the large and small houses brought by these official offices and shops.
There are houses everywhere and there are no open spaces in any place. Recruiting new members of the Jinyiwei, thousands of people sign up. It is necessary to have a big place, but there is no place to choose from inside and outside the city. It is not good to be too far away from the city. It is more than fifteen miles away, so grain supply and other things are also a big problem.
Finally, I found a place five miles north of the city. This place was once soaked in sea water and could not grow crops. Later, when Liu Liu and Qi rebelled, a large number of people were cut down here. It was said that there were ghosts in the late land. This place was abandoned.
Today, Wang Tong felt that this place was really good. He turned around and ordered Sun Dahai to go to the Qing Military Hall to complete the procedures, find someone to take care of it, and put the camp here in the future.
I don’t have to go home today. I live in the office of the Jinyiwei in the city. Those who didn’t choose were beaten home. Many of the people who didn’t choose were moved by the treatment of this warehouse. I heard that this is Wang Qianhu’s property, so there is no need to worry about any risks in the business of the official family. Although I can’t be a job as an Jinyiwei, it is better to do a lifestyle than relying on my parents at home.
On the 30th day of the first lunar month, even those who were not selected had returned to Tianjin City. Wang Tong gathered these people on the open space during the selection, arranged for those who were not selected to transport materials and build shacks, and then handed over the 600 people who were selected to the wooden platform.
Looking at the not-so-neat team below, Wang Tong asked with a smile:
"Do you know what you're going to do next?"
