Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1657 Cutting Yuan ([-]) Oriole
It was almost summer, and even in the capital, the weather had already warmed up.The warm and bright spring light shines on the earth, and the moisture after the spring rain in the past few days is gradually drying up.Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom in the capital city, colorful; new shoots are tender and green.The passers-by on the road also seemed to be infected by the spring spirit, and all of them showed a little smile on their faces.

But Mr. Wang Ge, who just came to Shen Yuanfu's value room, had a serious face, let alone a smile, and he could even scrape a few taels of severe frost on his face.

In the room, Shen Shixing, who was originally standing with his hands behind his back, turned his back to the direction of the door, and he also had a serious face, maybe even a stern one, with an extremely stern look in his eyes.

He just looked at Wang Ge for a while, then slowly opened his mouth, and asked in a tone without any emotion: "Brother Yuanyu's clever strategy is to hook up with Japanese pirates, rob the water boats, force the Cao army to riot, and then attack Nanjing." ?”

Wang Xijue's thin cheeks trembled twice, suppressing his mood, and said in a low voice: "It's not a small accident."

"Accident?" Shen Shixing snorted, stared at Wang Xijue and asked, "Is it an accident to collude with Japanese pirates?"

Wang Xijue shook his head and said, "There are no Japanese pirates. There are only about a dozen real Japanese pirates there. The rest are pirates who have been scattered by Gao Rixin's fleet over the years. , now they are all family slaves."

"If it wasn't for the Japanese pirates, how could they be targeted by the Tax Police Corps?" Shen Shixing didn't seem to believe it.

"The reason for this incident has not yet been ascertained, but according to analysis, I am afraid that some coastal families in the south of the Yangtze River have already been under the surveillance of Gao Rixin. These people may have been exposed when they set off from the coast by boat, and the tax police corps in Chongming County (Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River today, but it did not form a whole at this time, it is composed of several sandbars) There is also a bastion, and there is a watchtower in the fort...they were probably discovered by the lookout post on this tower , and then the tax police corps sent a boat to Nanjing."

"Is this the accident you mentioned?" Shen Shixing was silent for a moment, then asked again.

"No, it's not just about this." Wang Xijue sighed, and said: "There are many doubts about this matter, not only the 'Japanese pirates' ships were followed by people, but also several other doubts. As a result, for some reason, the assembly point of Cao Jun's fleet was set in Nanjing.

Brother Rumo, Nanjing is not on the canal line, it is more than 100 miles east of the canal, and you have to go through the Yangtze River waterway.Moreover, since Nanjing is the gathering place of the Cao army, it means that the number of the local Cao army far exceeds my expectation.The status of Nanjing is crucial. Once a large number of Cao army riots occur, how serious is the matter, how can I not know?

According to my plan, it is just to stir up more than a thousand Cao troops to turmoil between Zhenjiang and Yangzhou. At this time, Zhenjiang Wei and Yangzhou Wei are locked up in the north and south, and there is also Yizhen Guard in the west to prevent them from entering Nanjing. Although the situation is serious, it will definitely not get out of control. .

At the same time, because of this matter, it will cause the Cao army in other areas to fluctuate, which is enough to attract the attention of the court, but the Cao army that caused the chaos was accused of being strangled between Zhen and Yang. As for the subsequent chaos, then this is a situation that is controllable.

However, for some reason, many Cao troops in the south of the Yangtze River all assembled and went to Nanjing, and the chaos turned into a chaos.I always feel that this matter is too coincidental, as if someone is deliberately fueling the flames. "

Shen Shixing couldn't help but ponder after hearing this.He basically believed what Wang Xijue said, because he knew that although Wang Xijue was resourceful and decisive, he was by no means reckless.Such a sudden instigation of tens of thousands of Cao army riots, and the location is fortunately in Nanjing, this is really not like Wang Xijue's handwriting, after all, once the news is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.

Besides, doing so would have exceeded Wang Xijue's goal. Didn't he want to rebel and instigate such a big turmoil for what?He just wanted to force the imperial court to recall Gao Yushi so that the Northern Expedition would return without success, so as to prevent Gao Yushi from being too popular and crushing all opponents.

To achieve this, it is enough to make the imperial court feel that there is instability in Jiangnan's wealth and wealth. The key to this is that the influence must be large, rather than the situation getting out of control.The situation getting out of control will only lead to more unpredictable troubles. It is not the first day for Wang Xijue to be an official. How can he not know such a simple truth?

From this point of view, Wang Xijue's suspicion at the moment is very reasonable, that is, this matter has developed like this, and someone is secretly fueling the flames.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.It seems that Wang Ge was wise in his old life, but this time he accidentally became a praying mantis, and was targeted by the oriole behind him.But, who is this "sorrel"?
High pragmatic?
The first thing that came to Shi Shixing's mind was this Gao Situ who had never really suffered in political battles.It stands to reason that Gao Pragmatism should also be motivated to be this oriole. After all, his biggest political opponent is the Mind School, and the current two pillars of the Mind School are himself and Wang Xijue.

As long as this matter can get involved with Wang Xijue and bring him down, it will be a big victory for Gao Yushi, and if he can bring along his own chief assistant, then Gao Yushi will win a big victory.

From then on, the Real School dominated the Chaotang family, and no one could restrain it anymore. No matter whether Gao Yushi could make contributions in the battle against the Yuan Dynasty, or return to Beijing quickly and take over the task of calming the chaos of the Cao Army, he went to It is very possible that Jiangnan will either suppress or stabilize the Cao army, and replace a vacant old cabinet seat due to his merits.

However, Shi Shixing thought about it and felt that although there was a possibility, it was really not high.From a high-practical point of view, there is no need for him to regard going south to pacify the Cao army's riots as a great achievement-isn't the merit of cutting the Yuan ten or a hundred times greater than the effort to pacify the Cao army's riots?It is definitely not a high-level pragmatic style to make such a small profit without taking the merits of cutting Yuan.

What's more, Gao Wushi is far away in Daning at the moment, how can he control the trivial matters in the south of the Yangtze River?Although, as Wang Xijue said, if Gao Yushi had taken precautions, it is possible for some of his people to know the origin of the "Japanese pirates", but they should not be able to interfere deeply, let alone contribute to the flames.

In short, Gao Yushi's involvement in this matter not only lacks motivation, but also may not have enough ability, so Huang Que should not be him.

But if not high pragmatism, then who else?
Xu Guo, Shen Li faction?Well, they also hoped that Gao Yushi would stop cutting Yuan and be recalled to the country, but if Gao Yushi is "not capable enough", maybe they are even more incompetent, right?You must know that it is not so easy to add fuel to the flames. Not only must you accurately understand Wang Xijue's plan, but you must also be able to make corresponding arrangements and changes to change the direction of the situation.

For example: Several Cao troops gathered in Nanjing for no reason. What is going on? Whose orders did they follow?

Shen Shixing's expression was still hesitant, but he still managed to hold back his dissatisfaction, and briefly talked about these thoughts, intending to see what Wang Xijue thought.

Wang Xijue said decisively: "It's not people from the real school who are manipulating. First of all, Gao Rixin Wanquan has no motive. He is a very organized person. He has never acted blindly for 20 years. If he moves, he must be fully prepared first. Rather than thinking that it was a reckless act. Moreover, Gao Rixin is not a person who does not care about the consequences. It is not his style to turn a commotion into a riot, and turn more than a thousand people into tens of thousands or even tens of thousands.

As for Xu Yingyang and Shen Longjiang, they may not want to see Gao Rixin gain the limelight again, but they are also Gao Wenzheng's disciples anyway, if they do such things, if something happens, they will be exposed to the world The eyes and ears, the two of them immediately said that the ending of ruining their reputation was not something they could bear. "

Shen Shixing became a little annoyed, and said: "This is not true, and that is not true. It can't be Wang Duianan (Wang Jiaping) right? What position does he have for doing this?"

"Of course it's not Wang Duianan. He not only has no position to do this, but also has no ability to do it." Wang Xijue shook his head, paused, and said in a deep voice, "Yuanfu, I suspect... this person may be out of control." Inside Egoology."

"What did you say?" Shen Shixing was taken aback, his whole body became tense, and asked hastily, "Why do you know that?"

Wang Xijue thought hard, and his brows had long been furrowed into a deep word: "I haven't thought of the motive yet, but...only one person can do it by letting the Jiangnan tank boats temporarily go to Nanjing to gather."

Shen Shixing gasped, and murmured: "Governor of Water Transport...Shu Yinglong?"

Shu Yinglong, born in Jiajing 20 years ago, was born in Quanzhou, Guangxi.Grandfather Shu Wenkui was a juren; father Shu Gang was a juren in the 14th year of Hongzhi; brothers Yingfeng and Ying Lin were both juren.

Shu Yinglong himself was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing, and he was the magistrate of Dongguan, Guangdong for the first time.In the early years of Wanli, he was promoted to the Zuo Buzheng envoy of Guangdong. From the 14th to the 15th of Wanli, he was the governor of Guizhou. At the end of [-]th, he was the right servant of the household department.

This person had always been a local official in the School of Mind, although his status was high, he was not the core. Until he became the right servant of the household department, because he had entered the basic board of the School of Reality, he began to be valued by Shen Shixing.

Not long after that, Shu Yinglong became one of the most important ministers of the Mind School. Although he could not be compared with Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, he was considered one of the representatives of the Mind School among the ministers at the next level.

However, since the Hubu is the basic board of the Real School, it means that although people from the Heart School can occasionally enter, they can never stay for too long, so Shu Yinglong has to be transferred in about a year.The Practical School didn't care much about where he would be transferred, so Shen Shixing resolutely transferred him to the position of Governor of Water Transport.

The Governor of Water Transport is a position with great power, but it is not a position that the Practical School is very interested in competing for. Therefore, Shu Yinglong has been the Governor of Water Transport for several years and no one picks on him, so the position is quite secure.

Shu Yinglong is fifty-two years old this year, and he is still young for an important court official. Shen Shixing originally planned to transfer back to the capital within a year - but there is a prerequisite for that, that is, there are vacancies in the six ministers.

In addition, considering the actual situation, it is useless if there are two "heaven" and "earth" departments, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households. You can't put a hall official from the Heart School in.At present, there is obviously no shortage, so Shen Shihang has not mentioned the matter of promoting him.

Shen Shixing thought that Wang Xijue said that Shu Yinglong had the ability to contribute to the flames, but he didn't know his motives. He didn't know if this was true or not.In fact, after Wang Xijue's reminder, Shen Shixing found that if Shu Yinglong did this on purpose, then his purpose is actually not difficult to guess.

Shu Yinglong's thinking is likely to be like this, if the disturbance in the Cao army is only more than a thousand people, then the court may not really take this matter as important.And his bet is: Even if there is a riot of more than [-] people in the Cao army, the imperial court may not allow Gao Yushi to quell it.

If you want to ask the truth, it is actually simple: how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer?

Take a look at this battle against the Yuan Dynasty. Gao Yushi gathered 60 troops in his hands, and almost dispatched [-]% of the troops on the nine sides that could fight in the field. The emperor also showed great trust in him. Give him full authority to call towards the vital army.

Such a person, a person who is known as "the most handsome man in the world", would personally come to Nanjing to suppress the commotion of tens of thousands of people?To put it bluntly, even if he wanted to, the emperor would not agree.

The most powerful weapon is not used casually, but more often used as a specific deterrent force.In other words, these "weapons" may be more effective if left unused than directly used.

Gao Pragmatism undoubtedly has such a strong deterrent force, so Fa Yuan can use him, but it is obviously unnecessary to pacify the tens of thousands of Cao Jun.What's more, the practice of past dynasties has shown that when a famous general needs him to deal with everything in person, the court probably won't be around for a few days.

Daming is clearly showing signs of rejuvenation now, and it is completely unreliable to "jump for a few days", so even if everything goes as inferred, the emperor will not let Gao Yushi go south to quell the rebellion.

If Gao Pragmatism does not come, who is responsible for this matter?The most likely possibility is that Shu Yinglong, the Governor of Water Transportation, is directly responsible, because he is the main manager of the Cao Army and is familiar enough with the Cao Army.

At this point in the analysis, Shen Shixing thinks that he has understood the key point: if Shu Yinglong is really the mastermind behind the scenes, then his intention is to win a chance for himself to make great contributions.

The so-called virtue and Maoguan are rewarded for meritorious service, and they will naturally be promoted after making great contributions, but he is already the governor of water transport, and he has nowhere to be promoted in the local area, so he can only call back to the center.At that time, the imperial court would have to make way for him by vacating at least one position of Shangshu no matter what.

President Shen Shi sighed, put his hand on his forehead, and said helplessly: "Gao Rixin attacked Yuan, my mind is already in danger in the imperial court. Although I don't agree with Brother Yuan Yu's move, it is not easy to stop it. But my heart There are still some people in the school who want to take this opportunity to seek credit and rewards, it's really... Heaven's sins are still alive, but self-inflicted sins can't be lived."

Wang Xijue couldn't help sighing, he has always been tough when beating him, and he adjusted his mentality faster than Shen Shixing at this time, saying: "Brother fight against the wall to defend against his humiliation, although Shu Yinglong's move...is really wrong, but right now it is not a matter of entanglement." It is reasonable to stabilize the situation first." After all, Shu Yinglong is a member of Shen Shihang, and Wang Xijue didn't want to speak too seriously.

Shen Shixing snorted softly: "Presumably he thinks the same way, that's why he's so confident."

That's what he said, but Shen Shixing also knew that what Wang Xijue said was true, so he said again: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, the overall situation must be the most important thing. Brother Yuan Yu, what do you think we should do now?"

"Since he wants to take the lead, let him go first." Wang Xijue said: "However, Yuan Fu and I should not distract our energy. Now that the matter has reached this point, it is inevitable that the arrow must be fired. Let Rixin force you to come back first."

Shen Shixing was silent for a moment, then replied solemnly: "At this point, we can only do our best and obey the destiny."
