Iron blood Suiming

Chapter 197 Suing Shandong Governor

But what makes these butchers baffled is that the officials under Li Jianguo, under the brutal policy of carrots and sticks, actually reversed the crooked trends of the Ming government. , will think of the consequences of stretching out his hand, it doesn't matter if he dies, but it is too worthless to involve the whole family in death.

Coupled with the large amount of salary, even if he is not corrupt, it is enough to be a superior person, and he can be extravagant once in a while.So only at the beginning, Li Jianguo killed the whole family of three officials.Since then, until now, more than half a year has passed, and there has been no official who dared to commit corruption.

The atmosphere of the officials was good for a while, and the common people praised them one after another. This blinded many people who were waiting to see the joke. They didn't understand how such a simple and rude policy could have such great power. Without blocking the officials from reaching out, how could it be solved by such a simple trick of adding money when it was in Li Jianguo's hands?

In fact, some things are so simple. If the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was not too naive, he thought that officials in the world should devote themselves to the people, and they should not take money.If he had a high salary and a low income, with his heavy punishment, he would have been able to solve more than [-]% of the corruption.

So on the morning of February [-], the county magistrate of Lingshanwei woke up early and approved seven or eight official documents before eating breakfast.He can't do that.There used to be no county magistrate in Lingshanwei, but gradually there were more and more people, and there were more and more trivial matters. Li Jianguo simply set up a county government to deal with civil affairs.

Working under Li Jianguo's nose, can the magistrate of Lingshanwei not be trembling and work diligently for the people?So even if it was just a show, he had to do it well.

Unexpectedly, today is really not a good day, the county magistrate had only had two sips of rice, and then he heard the sound of the grievance drum.The grievance drum can't be knocked on indiscriminately. It can only be knocked on in emergency situations when there is no time to write pleadings. It is usually a serious case of human life.Someone will be beating the drums.Otherwise, to sue other civil cases, you must have pleadings.

Hearing the sound of the drum, the county magistrate immediately had to go to the hall to ask questions.Therefore, the county magistrate of Lingshanwei did not dare to be negligent, and sent an order to be promoted, and only the old man over [-] years old was the one who sued.

The county magistrate did not guess wrong, it was indeed a serious murder case, and the people were not sued.He is still an official, and he is Zhu Dadian, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the governor of Shandong Province, a senior official of the second rank.He was accused of adultery and adultery with his daughter Zhu Baishi, killed and buried, and a blood letter from Zhu Baishi was presented with him.

The county magistrate of Lingshanwei was dumbfounded, and the crowd who watched also "coaxed".Everyone is talking about it, is this white old man stupid?He actually dared to sue the governor of Shandong, who is the second grade, and he came to the Lingshanwei county government to sue, so his brain is not broken.Even a three-year-old child knows that under the rule of Lingshanwei, he is not the same as the Ming court.

Even if you want to sue the officials, you have to sue the officials under Lingshanwei.You go to the anti-thief county government that is half open to sue the officials of the second rank of the Ming Dynasty, how ridiculous it sounds.

Even ordinary people find it ridiculous, let alone the magistrate of Lingshanwei County.He didn't know what to do.Logically.When there is a plaintiff, it is time to pass on the defendant.When a case is tried in court, let alone a human life lawsuit, as long as there is an accusation, no matter whether it is true or not, the defendant must be summoned to the court for interrogation.

But can he pass it on?Not to mention only a blood letter without a dead body, it is impossible to judge whether what the old man said is true or not, even if it is true, once he sends out the ticket, who would dare to go to Jinan Mansion to arrest a governor?

The county magistrate of Lingshanwei thought again and again, looking at the old man kowtowing with tears streaming down his face, and looking at the people outside the hall waiting for him to speak, the county magistrate of Lingshanwei sighed, and was about to evade, when he suddenly thought of a way, Immediately excited.

He immediately said: "Old man Bai, the county accepted your case, but it is beyond the county's ability to subpoena a second-rank official. But the county can't, it doesn't mean that the commander, Mr. Li, can't. The county will Present your pleading paper to Commander Li Daren today, and everything will be decided by him, do you dare to go with him?"

The old white man cried loudly on the ground, and shouted: "Master Qingtian, the little one traveled thousands of miles, appealed everywhere, and no yamen dared to accept the small pleading paper. I wanted to go to the capital to file a lawsuit, but thought that the officials would protect each other. .Because I heard that Mr. Li is not afraid of the powerful and powerful, he boldly came to Lingshanwei to file a complaint. I didn't expect the Taizun to accept the lawsuit. I just wanted to let all the villagers know about my grievances. Unexpectedly, Tai Zun didn't shirk, and the little one was very grateful, no matter how Master Li made his decision, the little one would never refuse."

When he said something, the hearts of the people felt sour immediately, and some of them had grievances and had nowhere to go, so they couldn't help crying with him.The county magistrate of Lingshanwei nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, you go with me to command the envoy's mansion and appeal to your lord on the spot."

After saying that, he got dressed and went out of the hall without taking the sedan chair. The three classes of yamen servants lined up and took the old white man to the commander's mansion.Ordinarily, the county magistrate of Lingshanwei is not unreasonable in officialdom.If you can't handle it yourself, push it to the superior, which is a big taboo in the officialdom.It makes you look useless.Secondly, if everything is pushed to the superior, what use is it for you.

So if the magistrate of Lingshanwei dared to do this under the Ming system, the only thing waiting for him would be to be angered by his superiors.The best result is that one can return home safely, even if his ancestors have accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes.

But it was different under the Lingshan Guard system.It doesn't mean that the officials under the Lingshanwei system are as clear as a mirror, as clean as water, and all of them are good officials who plead for the people and are not afraid of the powerful.

But the officials of Lingshanwei are very anxious now. Although their commanders are very arrogant, and no one dares to provoke Niucha in Shandong, they have not expanded their territory for a long time. They are only active in the east of Shandong and only control Lingshanwei. To Zhucheng, Gaomi, Jiaozhou this area.

These officials who were counting on Li Jianguo's promotion and fortune had long been in a hurry.If a different person had gathered so many supplies and so many generals in Lingshanwei, they would have already occupied the entire territory of Shandong, but what about Li Kaiguo?

Although he led his troops to visit the Tartar Shengjing, he gained a high reputation.But after he came back, he stayed in the commander's mansion all the time, except for seeing Wei Chuping, Feng Guoyong and the generals of the regiment, nothing happened.

Seeing that the accumulated supplies of Lingshanwei could hardly be let go, Li Jianguo continued to order to continue to spend a lot of money to buy grain, iron, and all military supplies.

According to the internal information of Lingshanwei's officialdom, there is not much money in Lingshanwei's account now, only 400 million taels at most, and it goes into the pockets of those businessmen every day like water.If this continues, how can it be achieved? Even if there is more food stored, what is the use?Can't finish it, isn't it rotten?

But no one dared to ask Li Jianguo, and no one dared to suggest.Say my lord.You see, should we take up a piece of land?Therefore, the old man Bai came to complain today, and the county magistrate of Lingshanwei had an idea. This is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to test Li Jianguo's mind.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to risk the taboo of the officialdom, and brought the old white man and the mighty people to the gate of the commander's mansion.See you respectfully.

At this time, Li Jianguo was looking at the information. He had been looking at the information for so long after he came back, and he was looking at the information from all over the place.Some immature ideas are gradually taking shape.He doesn't have so many counselors by his side, so some things have to be done by himself.

So on some major decisions.He has always been arbitrary and never asks for the opinions of others.Moreover, he has always had only one purpose for the place he governs, that is, to rule complexity with simplicity. He will not list all kinds of rules, but strive to keep everything simple, so simple that there is only one rule for some things.

For example, the law of punishing corrupt officials is like this, very simple.It's just a kill word.But with high salary.Everything is working very well, which is all in his expectation.

So he intends to.In the future, no complicated laws will be enacted for everything, and only simple laws will be used to govern the people and the army.During this period of time, he has been thinking about these things, and he is also thinking about the future of Lingshanwei. The plan for the next step has already taken shape in his mind. Just as he was thinking about making a big move in two days, he suddenly came to report , Said that the magistrate of Lingshanwei County brought the complainants to see him outside the mansion, and there were many people watching the fun.

When Li Jianguo heard this, he immediately realized that something was wrong.He couldn't express his emotions, although he felt wrong, but for him, there was nothing that would scare him.After thinking for a while, he stood up and walked out of the house.

The two women, Hai Lanzhu and Su Moer, who were whispering in the courtyard, saw Li Jianguo walking towards the gate of the mansion without even looking at them. Su Moer couldn't help saying: "Ergeqi, tell me, this Is Li Guo a big fool, and when he meets a beautiful woman like Egeqi, he won't even look at him."

Hai Lanzhu quickly covered her mouth, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, if he overhears, be careful of your ass."

Su Mo'er blushed, and then gritted her teeth resentfully. Since they were tied up, the two of them have been placed in the Commander's Mansion, and they are not free to move freely. They are always watched by people.And from the moment he entered the mansion, Li Jianguo seemed to have forgotten them, not to mention coming to violate them, even if he saw them on weekdays, he would treat them like stones, which severely hit their female self-esteem.

The day before yesterday, Su Mo'er finally couldn't bear it anymore, she made a move to play with fire, and when Li Jianguo passed by her once, she pretended to sprain her foot, "Ah yo", and threw herself on Li Jianguo, But he was pushed away by Li Jianguo and fell to the ground.Li Jianguo didn't even look at him, and walked away.

Su Moer left Su Mo'er touching her nipples in grief and anger, feeling that the sky was about to collapse, but she didn't dare to show her temper, so she could only limped back to the room by herself.By the way, Li Jianguo didn't provide them with maids either. Except for a rough-handed woman who brought them food during meals, they had to take care of everything by themselves.

Hai Lanzhu said this at this time, not to tease her, but to warn her not to challenge Li Jianguo's patience again. According to her observations during this period, Li Jianguo didn't care about women's sex. Such a person can Concentrating on things is obviously easier to succeed.Compared with Huang Taiji, Hai Lanzhu only felt that the Khan, who had always been called an innate intelligence, was only worthy of being a general for Li Jianguo.It's not that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that you really think so.

Su Mo'er pushed Hai Lanzhu's hand away vigorously, and said, "Ergeqi, don't you wonder what he is going to do? Let's go and see." Regardless of Hai Lanzhu's resistance, she pulled her forward .Hai Lanzhu had no choice but to walk to the gate of the mansion.

After arriving at Zhaobi, the two women poked their heads out and looked at the gate of the mansion. They were startled immediately. The crowds of people around the gate knelt down when they saw Li Jianguo, and they all shouted excitedly. : "Kowtow to Lord Li."

Li Jianguo nodded and did not speak. He raised his hand slightly, and immediately a soldier shouted: "My lord, please get up." , It can be seen that the people of Lingshanwei love Li Jianguo from the bottom of their hearts.

But the magistrate of Lingshanwei County, the third-class yamen servant, and the old man Bai did not dare to get up, and knelt in place.Li Kaiguo said indifferently: "Lingshanwei County Magistrate, what are you doing here? Could it be that someone who has suffered has sued someone you dare not interrogate?"

The magistrate of Lingshanwei County froze. Your lord's tone was wrong. He quickly said, "My lord, it's not that my subordinates dare not interrogate me, but I can't. The defendant is Zhu Dadian, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the governor of Shandong Province. He is a second-rank official. Senior officer. The subordinates are the seventh rank. If the fire ticket is issued, the defendant will not be mentioned at that time, for fear of hurting the prestige of the adults." He said and presented the pleadings and blood letters.

He is going all out today, and he must provoke Li Jianguo to express his opinion.Anyway, with so many people watching, Li Jianguo would not kill him.In fact, he was wrong. If Li Jianguo wanted to kill him, he would never pay attention to the occasion.No matter who is watching, as long as you make up your mind, no matter who it is, there must be death or life.

The county magistrate of Lingshanwei was very lucky. If he had come one day earlier, Li Jianguo would have killed him.And in front of so many people.Did he think Li Jianguo was stupid?When the county magistrate of Lingshanwei mentioned that the defendant was Zhu Dadian, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the governor of Shandong Province, Li Jianguo knew what he wanted to do. How could he not know what the officials under him were thinking?Even if he doesn't know, Ma Ying will tell him.After Li Jianguo's beating last time, now Ma Ying dare not hide anything from him.

If it wasn't for Li Jianguo's confirmed plan, the magistrate of Lingshanwei just gave him a reason, and he was already decapitated at this time.Li Jianguo's personality is that he will never allow anyone to try to manipulate him.Anyone who has this thought.There is only one end, and there is no doubt about death.

Even if the county magistrate of Lingshanwei came at the right time today.But his heart can be punished, although he can avoid death, but living crimes are inevitable. After today, the magistrate of Lingshanwei County will inevitably be miserable.

Li Jianguo just flipped through the pleadings and the blood letter, then smiled faintly, and said, "Just issue the fire ticket, and order Zhu Dadian to come to the Lingshanwei County Government within fifteen days from the date of receiving the fire ticket, otherwise I personally went to Jinan Mansion to bring him up." After speaking, Li Jianguo handed over the pleading paper and blood letter to the guards, and walked into the mansion.

Everyone was stunned, everyone knew the weight of Li Jianguo's words, to mention a governor of Shandong with a fire ticket?Except for Bao Longtu who had done this before, no one dared to do it again.But today, they heard with their own ears that Li Jianguo said that he would issue a fire ticket to nominate a senior official of the second rank.

The common people were ebullient at once, the old man Bai burst into tears, and shouted: "Lord Li is the Lord Qingtian." Immediately, countless people also shouted, "Master Qingtian."

The officials of Lingshanwei were also very excited. The meaning revealed in Li Jianguo's words was very clear. If you use a hot ticket to mention the governor of a province, you will definitely not be able to mention it. There is only one way to call Jinan Prefecture. Go, my lord is finally going to war.

The fact that he must come for trial within [-] days means that Li Kaiguo will attack Jinan Mansion with all his troops after [-] days.Officials of Lingshan Guard excitedly ran around to tell everyone that your lord was finally enlightened, it was not easy.The positions of the people and the officials are different, and one matter has two different views.Little did they know, this was part of Li Jianguo's plan.

"These officials only know how to fight, but they don't know how dangerous the war is. If you can't fight, don't fight." Li Jianguo naturally didn't hear it.

The next day, Zhu Dadian, governor of Shandong Province, found out about the incident. He was so furious that he immediately summoned all the officials of Jinan Prefecture to discuss how to deal with it.In fact, this is still worth discussing?Let Zhu Dadian go to Lingshanwei?Don't be kidding, as the highest official of a province, if Zhu Dadian really went to Lingshanwei to answer the hearing, and lost the majesty and face of the court, the Ming court would definitely kill Zhu Dadian, so unless Zhu Dadian surrendered, it is absolutely impossible for him to Lingshan Wei responded to the news.

In this way, there is only one battle in the whole Shandong. The question is, where will the soldiers come from.The Shandong General Soldier groaned for a long time and came up with a suggestion, and immediately asked the capital for help.

Zhu Dadian was furious, and immediately refuted it sternly, do you still think he is not shameful enough?As the governor of Shandong and other places appointed by the imperial court to supervise the camps and manage the rivers and admirals, he has the responsibility to act cheaply. Now Li Guo of Lingshanwei is pointing the finger at him. If he really asks the capital for help, let alone If it is too late within fifteen days, even if there is a court meeting, it may take five or six days to get the results. What he wants now is a method that can be used immediately.

So Zhu Dadian quoted the scriptures, made a generous statement, and said a lot of nonsense about being loyal to the emperor for the country, sharing the worries of the sage, seeking the well-being of the people, and solving the problems of the people.At that time, some officials were worried that Li Guo wanted to send you to the court. If you hadn’t been promiscuous with women, how could a commoner sue you? If no one sued you, how could Li Guo find this excuse?Talking about such nonsense at this time, it is better to quickly find a way to defeat Li Guocai.

Zhu Dadian is not a pure Confucian. In the third year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde, the general of Dengzhen at that time, launched a mutiny with [-] elites. .

The Lu army, the Zhejiang army, and the Liao army were either defeated or disintegrated.At that time, Zhu Dadian was ordered to gather 5000 troops, including [-] Liao cavalry, to attack the rebels on their own initiative, defeating the main force of the rebels who underestimated the enemy, and killed the general Chen Youshi.

Then they took advantage of the victory to besiege Dengzhou, killing the thief commander Li Jiuzheng, almost annihilating them all.At that time, Wu Sangui, Liu Liangzuo, etc. were all partial generals under Zhu Dadian's command.This battle was a complete victory, a rare victory in the late Ming Dynasty.At that time, the Ming court rewarded meritorious deeds, and Zhu Dadian was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of War in the sixth year, and was still the governor of Shandong.
