Chapter seven hundred and ninetieth group portrait follow-up
In the middle of February of the 12th year of Wanli, Empress Dowager Cisheng suddenly fell ill and visited him with great condolences and orders the governor of the world to find famous doctors to treat the empress dowager. Everyone in the world said that they were the most filial piety...
...Li Wenquan, the Marquis of Wuqing, resigned from his post because of his wise and stupidity. The emperor repeatedly tried to keep him, and then approved it. The affairs of the jing camp were originally under the jurisdiction of the internal officials and civil officials. Li Wenquan was even a peaceful way to advance and retreat. ... There were Chen Sibao, the second son of Xiangcheng Bo, and Tang Sihai, the youngest son of the Tang family of the Imperial Merchant, and several relatives of the nobles. They were all from the powerful martial arts hall. They were loyal, brave and witty, and were well-versed in military tactics. They were promoted to the governor of each camp...
.... Since the command of the Tongzhi of the Jinyiwei, Wang Tong, to Shanxi as an imperial envoy, the situation was repeated every day. At first, the wise men scolded him with the right way. Later, the situation changed rapidly. Today is Zonglu, tomorrow is suppressed, and the next day is to suppress the bandits, and the next day is to prevent the enemy. Later, he was already governor Datong, and everyone was at a loss and did not know what to do... From October of the 11th year of Wanli to February of the 12th year of Wanli, everyone in the capital was panicked and said that Altan's enemy was defeated and approaching the capital. Some people shouted at the gate that the whole city was restless, which almost caused a disaster. After Wang Tong's training, the Jinyiwei was already a tiger, wolf, hawk, and dog. He heard that chaos was everywhere. The chaos was settled in an instant. Although this matter was successful, such a brave inner guard would have disaster in the future...
..., laughing at the timidity of the people in the world, and usually claiming that they are the kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom. All countries come to the court. Wang Tong led his army into the northern border. There was no clear news, but they all thought that Wang Tong led his troops to defeat and were not confident. If this is the case, it would be sad and ridiculous...
..., the people and the people are not familiar with words and are prone to being traitorous and confused. Now, looking at the capital's scholars, isn't this the same? For no reason, "all of them are called kings and kings defeated. It's ridiculous to say that in such a peaceful era, there are so many people who want to be unsatisfied and want to defeat the country."
Anyone who has experienced these months has left behind various records and feelings, but in less than five months, life is full of joys, anger, sorrows, and changes in the morning. The battle situation is repeated, and it is full of wonderful appearances, and it is dazzling.
Those who experience it personally have different feelings, either sigh, laugh at it, or laugh at it, but one thing is true, that is, no one expected that Wang Tong would actually achieve such a great victory.
The people were most direct and responded the fastest. When the news of this victory came back, the panic and fear that had lasted for a long time in the capital instantly dispersed, and everyone had a look of excitement.
The various wineries and tea shops were crowded with people, and the storyteller also began to tell the story of Wang Tong taking guns and defeating more than a hundred generals in one day. The sales of wine, meat and candy in the capital were similar to the festival, and they were jubilant and festive.
After the news of the victory came back, the busiest ones were not the six cabinet ministries, but the inner court's official office and the outer court's Tongzheng Department. For the memorials of Wang Tong's severe punishment and the request to send people to manage Tianjin Wei, Emperor Wanli ordered that there was no need to approve it, and that they would return it to himself.
Those who say that Wang Tong acted recklessly, resulting in the destruction of 30,000 troops, "Those who say that the Tianjin Wei area must send civil officials to manage, and those who say that the emperor should abandon the confusion of internal officials and military officials, and listen to the civil officials more often, were all returned.
When I saw the memorials I wrote, I looked at the real situation now. Although there was no red criticism in the memorial, and even though the person with the most intense words were not criticized or punished, even the thick-skinned person felt that he could not stand it. It seemed that someone was slapping himself in the face in front of him.
Even Emperor Wanli was so crazy about such victory. The people below were shocked and shocked. The civil servants in the capital, who judged the wrong situation and said the wrong words, were speechless for a moment.
In the midst of the crowds, some trivial matters are not paid attention to. For example, there were several Qing guests in the Wuqing Marquis Mansion who stole the property of Wuqing Marquis and had an affair with the daughter of Wuqing Marquis Mansion. After being arrested, they were beaten to death and sent directly to Shuntian Mansion to question the crime. If the person dies, he will die, and no one is pitiful.
However, reports from various places to the palace all said that the people of the Wuqing Hou Mansion were already dead when they were sent to Shuntian Hou Mansion. However, the status of the Wuqing Hou family, what is the status of the Wuqing Hou family? What is the point of killing a few servants? Everyone knows some things, so they just pass by with their eyes closed.
……………………
No news was cut off next, and memorials were sent from Guihua City. Under the supervision of Emperor Wanli, the inner court and the outer court's yamen were operating efficiently, and policies were set.
There were two battalions in Ji Town, a total of 6,000 people and 6,000 people in Datong. They were guarding the soldiers in Guihua City. The military subordinates of the border town where the Bingmu were located moved to Guihua City as soon as possible. Guihua City was a military town without a civil servant. They were appointed as the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the
The generals of Guihua City led troops to serve as generals of the lieutenant, and were directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial guards and were not under the jurisdiction of Datong and Xuanda.
Because Guihua City is far away from the capital, it is given the power of self-determination by the guards and generals of Guihua City, and the taxes, food and salary collected in Guihua City are allowed to be directly paid to military salary and military rations. This is equivalent to making the guards and generals of Guihua City a semi-independent state and must be controlled.
This restraint is not to send civil officials to the governor, but to station a thousand households in the city. The military law branch, the police branch and the training branch are divided into the city, which are specifically responsible for public security inside and outside the city, and no one else is allowed to interfere.
The civil affairs matters are the head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, who is in charge of financial resources. In addition to collecting taxes and managing the countryside, he also takes the responsibilities of local officials.
However, this local official is also different from other departments. Sixty percent of the officials and servants under the Civil Affairs Office are the leading figures of the chambers of commerce in the city, which also ensures the interests of these chambers of commerce.
In the memorial presented by Wang Tong, the civil affairs organization of Guihua City has a very strange name, called Guihua City Management Committee, or the Management Committee for short.
It is said that the city of Guihua is isolated outside the frontier, and civil affairs are complicated. One person cannot decide on his own, and many people cannot make a decision. They have no decisions. Therefore, they must take care of the interests of all aspects and allow the merchants from Datong, local Han merchants, merchants who do not belong to the Altan tribe, and leading figures from the people to serve as members to balance the interests of all parties.
Although there are thousands of hectares of fertile land around Guihua City and abundant production, there will be no grain for the contributions to the palace every year. Every year, only the fullest grain will be selected and sent symbolically. The grain in Guihua City will be purchased by grain merchants in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the silver after the trade will be sent to the capital in proportion.
All businessmen in Guihua City need to register and register in the government. Only registered merchants can do business in Guihua City and seek protection from the troops in Guihua City. Otherwise, they will be considered illegal.
If you want to register, you need to pay a deposit and then you have to assume obligations, such as relief for certain matters, such as merchants' escorts being called up in an emergency.
In addition to more than 10,000 troops, Guihua City also has a similar policy to Tianjin Wei, that is, the Security Army. The establishment of this village chariot training clearly stipulates that among the Guihua City and the surrounding Han people, a certain proportion of people must participate. Those who participate in the training will be exempted from a certain amount of taxes. If you can ride a horse and participate as a cavalry, the taxes can even be exempted.
There is really no ancestral rule to talk about Wang Tong’s memorials, but the court’s degree of passing this matter is much faster than Wang Tong thought.
First of all, Emperor Wanli's authority was greatly improved. After this incident, Empress Dowager Li could hardly find any excuse for interference. The move by Li Wenquan, the Marquis of Wuqing, handing over the position of commander of the Beijing camp, even more explains something.
Secondly, the capital was constantly attacking such policies, and the most powerful censors were all in a state of dust at this time. Because they talked about the war in the northern border, they had become a laughing stock and their reputation plummeted. It was really unwise to stand up and say something rashly.
Third, the ministers in the court were not confused. The Ming Dynasty was suppressed by Tamiao for so long. Suddenly, there was such a victory and he won the site like Guihua City. He was in a hurry to take power. He was able to stabilize it as soon as possible to take it over. Everything can be stabilized before he could be said.
Finally, what Wang Tong did. Even if everyone has any questions, they dare not raise them openly, for fear of making mistakes in the capital public opinion in a month or two. Since you, Wang Tong, have it, then follow your actions first, whether it is right or wrong, and it will not be too late to say it after you do it.
But it’s not without arguments. The biggest debate is that caravans can carry firearms and even light guns on the grassland. Such military and national weapons are really worrying in the hands of civil merchants.
However, Wang Tong had already prepared the answer to their questions. The caravan's firearms must not be inserted into the plug. When entering into the naturalized city, the firearms need to be placed separately, and one official and one caravans guarded them together. The firearms are also registered and recorded separately and inspected once a year. Violators will be severely punished.
Moreover, firearms can only be repaired by Natural City and manufactured by Senei. Both Natural City and Datong Border Town have more powerful firearms. At least two veterans should be used as the leader of the guards in each caravan, otherwise the guards are not allowed to be established and the behavior is to be treated as ill-behaved.
Wang Tong also stated in his memorial that these caravans carried weapons to all directions, one to protect themselves, and the other to set up a front for the army, spy on the Tartars situation, kill small tribes, and lay the foundation for future expansion of territory.
Since he is not in Senezuela, he still doesn't know how many years it can occupy. He will be the only one who can do anything about the land outside. Everyone knows that if Wang Tong really insists on it, they will have no choice.
The memorial naturally mentioned the capture, thousands of hectares of fertile land, countless livestock, countless slaves, and no regrets on gold, silver and treasures. The main content of the court's discussion has become what kind of reward should be given to Wang Tong.
