Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 640
"Manpower? With Mr. Xie here, why worry about manpower? It depends on whether Mr. Xie still has the courage to lead everyone to a big fight!"

Wang Duo replied with a smile on his beard and Xie Qiguang.

Tang Shiji thought about it for a while, and suddenly came to a sudden realization.

Xie Qiguang has been in the Nanjing Military Department for more than [-] years, and he has served as Zuo Shilang for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the original Nanjing guards.

Although it has been said that the military power in Nanjing has always been the garrison eunuchs, garrison officials, and the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, these three people actually do not go to the guards most of the time. The real deal with these guards is the The following are the officials of the Ministry of War who are on errands.

As the left servant of the Ministry of War, Xie Qiguang is actually a hidden real power faction. A series of important matters such as the distribution of materials, the transfer of salaries, the promotion of generals, etc. of the guards under the jurisdiction of Nanjing cannot be avoided. In terms of actual control, Xie Qiguang is far better than the Big Three in Nanjing.

Although Zhu Youjian has decreed to abolish these guards, and those senior officials such as commanders, Tongzhi, and Qianshi have also changed from court officials to rich men, but their respective subordinates still support many former soldiers. The elite, so that they can do some shady things for the big bosses in Nanjing.

As for the weapons after the dismantling of the guards, except for heavy weapons such as guns, bows and arrows and heavy armor, which were transported back to Beijing, the rest of the light weapons such as knives and guns were ordered to be destroyed on the spot.

"Alright!
Things have come to this point, except as Jue Si said, I am afraid there is no way out! "

Xie Qiguang pondered for a long time, and felt that there was no loophole in Wang Duo's strategy. When he was hesitating, Xu Wenyuan's words made him make up his mind.

"After the old man returns to the mansion later, he will send someone to inform the relevant generals to come to the mansion for a banquet.

These people are all veteran generals who have obeyed the orders of the Nanjing Military Department for many years. I still know them very well, and they are also people who have suffered a lot from the bad government. It should be no problem to persuade them! "

Xie Qiguang scanned the people in the room, and after seeing the expectant expressions on the faces of several people, Xie Qiguang nodded secretly.

"Mr. Xie needs to beware of the eyes and ears of the factory guards!

Whether this major event can be successful or not depends entirely on Mr. Xie!When things come to pass in the future, Xie Lao should be respected in Nanjing area! "

After Wang Duo finished speaking, he took the lead in bowing his hands to Xie Qiguang, and the other three followed suit, saying please, and bowing their hands to Xie Qiguang together.

Xie Qiguang slowly got up and returned the half-respect with a self-assured smile, then walked out of the house.

At dusk that day, several middle-aged men dressed in the clothes of servants of Xie's mansion entered the mansion one after another. These people were the former head of the guard who came to discuss matters after receiving Xie Qiguang's secret notification.

"Today, the old man brought you here in a hurry because he has important matters to discuss, so the matter is of great importance. In order to prevent others from finding out, he specially asked you to dress up like this. I have wronged you all!"

Under the dim light in the study room in the back house of Xie Mansion, Xie Qiguang, who was dressed in Taoist robes, sat upright, bowed slightly to several people and lowered his arms.

"Oh, why does the Ministry need to be like this? We are all people who have followed the Ministry for many years. If you have something to do, you can just say it. Why do you need to be so polite? It really discourages me!"

Tian Xiong who spoke first hurriedly got up and clasped his fists to return the salute, and the other four also stood up and saluted Xie Qiguang to express their disrespect.

Although the guards had been abolished, Xie Qiguang was their old boss after all. Even after he retired, his connections and power remained. These former Ming generals who were ordered to come here lived in Nanjing, and they had to count on their old boss to take care of many things.

The few people who came to Xie's mansion this time were Tian Xiong, Qiu Yue, Zhang Jie, Huang Ming, and Chen Xiance. They were all commanding the left and right guards of Jinwu, the left and right guards of the government army, and the Jianghuai guards, and they were all generals of the third rank. , but now he is no different from ordinary people. Although he has accumulated a lot of money and land over the years, he has always resented the court in his heart.

Abolishing the guards is equivalent to depriving them of their official status. Although their status is much higher than that of ordinary people now, it can catch up with the glory of people with money and power in the past.

"I don't know what is the assignment of the department hall to invite us to come here? Is it related to the bad government of the court?"

Among the five people, Tian Xiong was obviously the main one. After Xie Qiguang waved them to sit down, Tian Xiong was still the first to ask.

"When I was in the army, the old man was optimistic about Tian Xiong and you guys. When it comes to culture and military strategy, you are not much different from others. If you wait to go to the battle formation in the north, you will have to be promoted now. The position of general.

It's a pity, above the temple, the rotten wood is the official; between the palace and the majesty, the beasts eat the salary, but the talents are used, and some juniors steal the high positions in the army. It's a pity to think about it! "

Xie Qiguang is the most familiar with the thoughts of these rough people, he knows what they like to hear, and he also knows what to stimulate them.

After Tian Xiong asked, Xie Qiguang did not answer directly, but first pretended to feel sorry for Tian Xiong and others, in order to arouse their anger and fighting spirit.

Sure enough, after Xie Qiguang put on a show, the grievances of Tian Xiong and others were successfully provoked, and the resentment on everyone's faces was extremely revealing.

"Butang, we are all born in the family of generals. We have learned martial arts since we were young, and we have been waiting for the imperial court to order us wholeheartedly. However, we never expected that we would land in today's field in just one day. If you want to come here when you have nothing to do, this My heart is really angry! Sometimes I really want to hold a steel knife and chop off the heads of those thieves and feed them to the dogs!"

Qiu Yue, who was over [-] years old, couldn't bear the anger in his heart, stood up abruptly and yelled in a rough voice, Tian Xiong and others also nodded vigorously to express their agreement. If they were not worried about other things, these people would have already He rolled his arms and sleeves and scolded loudly.

"Okay! It's rare for you, Qiu Yue, to have such arrogance!

The old man is just afraid that you will fall to this point and lose your vigor and heroism. Now it seems that the old man is thinking left! "

Xie Qiguang first praised Qiu Yue loudly, and then saw the other party sitting down triumphantly, and then said: "I know that you and others are brave men, so I discussed a major matter with all the officials and gentry in Nanjing. , You still need to wait for this matter to do your best. After the matter is completed, all the officials and gentry in Nanjing will express their deep hearts.

It's just that this matter is a matter of life and death, I just don't know if you have the courage and pride to respond! "

"If you have any orders from the ministry hall, just speak up!"

"Since a certain class is a general, he has long been fearless of life and death, please give me instructions!"

Tian Xiong and the others, whose morale had been aroused, stood up one by one and shouted with their chests lined up.

After Xie Qiguang shouted "Yes", he briefly explained what he had discussed with Wang Duo and others today, and finally looked at everyone and said word by word: "If this is done, you will have more names under everyone's name." [-] acres of land and two shops! In the future, in Nanjing, you can get help from others in everything you do. The children in the family can choose one of them to study in the Imperial College to ensure a bright future in the future!
There are no shortage of hungry soldiers in the army!

For all the soldiers involved in the matter, each person will be given 20 taels of silver first, and then 30 taels of silver will be issued after the event is completed!
If you have the intention to be afraid of difficulties and death, then today's discussion will be regarded as never happening!

Where to go, you can give the old man an answer right now! "

Tian Xiong and the others were stunned by Xie Qiguang's words and stood there dumbfounded. They didn't expect that this group of elders who talked about benevolence and morality all day long would be so vicious in their hearts.

Now there are only two roads in front of Tian Xiong and others, or they will enter the middle rich class from now on, and they will be completely regarded as their own family by the Nanjing gentry, and they can walk sideways in Nanjing from now on.

If this matter should not be dealt with, although Xie Qiguang didn't say much, Tian Xiong and the others knew the consequences, and they would not have a good life from now on.

It won't take long for the fields and shops under his name to be swallowed up by people for various reasons, until finally the family is ruined.

These elders are not as magnanimous as they appear to be. They look amiable on the surface, but they really know how to kill in secret.

"Done!
Wealth is in danger!
I will wait for the assignment from the Ministry! "
