Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 169 The Governor of Datong
In the barracks of Datong City, the border generals of Datong Town who were locked up gathered together in small groups to discuss what to do.

A general said: The governor will kill them all tomorrow.

Some side generals also said: those hanging on the trees will be killed.

Some border generals said: The governor is here to reform the border town, as long as they hand over the military land, they should be fine.

Finally, the commander-in-chief sent a message: Let everyone rest assured that the governor Gao Yi will not let them be arrested, and will definitely come to rescue them.

Only then did these generals feel relieved, thinking that when they got out, they would lead troops to make trouble, and they had to kill the governor.

After locking up all the border generals in Datong Town, Zhang Zongxian first took all the soldiers and horses in Datong City to the school grounds and put them under custody.

Then he assigned tasks to the school disciples who had brought him. Zhang Zongxian needed them to take the governor's badge to receive soldiers and horses from various guards in Datong Town.

The entire Datong Town is centered on Fucheng, surrounded by Datong Vanguard, Backguard, Left Guard, Right Guard, Zuochuan Guard, Yulin Guard, Yanghe Guard, Gaoshan Guard, Zhenlu Guard, Pinglu Guard, Weiyuan Guard, and Jingping Guard. There are 13 guards including Qianhusuo.

There are 72 castles, thousands of miles of side walls, more than [-] beacons, more than [-] soldiers, and more than [-] horses.
Of course, these are the numbers on the Ministry of War brochures. In fact, it would be good to have half of the soldiers and horses.

Arrange for these disciples to take those squad leaders to receive people from all over the place, and bring enough silver taels for each team when they leave.

Zhang Zongxian's arrangement was very simple. Anyway, the area outside the border wall had already been occupied by the Legislative Army, and he was not afraid of the Tartars blocking the border.

Let the disciples bring silver taels to receive troops from various places, and pay the soldiers first when they arrive. After taking control of the Davids, they will start to eliminate the old and weak, leaving only soldiers under 20 years old.

Then all the men under the age of 20 in the guard were recruited into the army, and paid according to the treatment of the Legislative Army.

Then they took the military households in the various guards to the newly built acropolis outside the side wall to reclaim the land.As long as the husband and wife are considered as one household, they will be given fifty acres of land.And abolish their military status.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of this matter, Zhang Zongxian transferred two cavalry brigades from outside the side wall and entered Datong City.

The next morning, Datong Governor Gao Di scolded Zhang Zongxian for being unruly when he learned of the incident. I still want to see you,
As a result, Zhang Zongxian avoided seeing him on the pretext of being unwell.But now he was given such an attack, so he had no choice but to rush to the barracks immediately to see Zhang Zongxian dissuade him and let him release him.

After learning that the governor of Datong wanted to see him, Zhang Zongxian recalled the information about this person. This Gao Di had done some practical things. It is said that he helped disasters and famines and "medicalized tens of thousands of people".And it is relatively clean, the taxes paid are not unpacked at all, and are sent directly to the Kaifeng mansion, thus eliminating the disadvantages of wasting envy.

He used to be the magistrate of Datong before, and after becoming the governor, he used his own 7000 taels of silver to reward the border generals, so he still has prestige among the border generals in Datong.

However, Zhang Zongxian felt that this guy looked like an upright official on the surface, and since he was sent to Suzhou Chaoguan to collect business taxes.It can be seen that this person is also a person who is fishing for fame. Originally, ropes were set up to block the tributary waterways outside the main bank to prevent merchant ships from sailing away privately to avoid taxes. Gaudi thought that it was only necessary to block the waters near the main river. , don't worry about everything.

From this point of view, Zhang Zongxian didn't believe that he had nothing to do with those merchant ships, otherwise, where would he get the money to send to the side generals in Datong.

After seeing Zhang Zongxian, the governor of Datong didn't pay any respects, and asked directly:
"Why did Zhang Shangshu arrest all the officers and men in Datong Town? What crime did they commit?"

Zhang Zongxian didn't even look at him, and said directly:
"No need."

Hearing the words Mo Xuyou, the governor of Datong was so angry that he could only point his finger at Zhang Zongxian, speechless for a long time.

Seeing Zhang Zongxian being so arrogant, he didn't take him seriously at all.The governor of Datong began to clamor:
"Okay, you, a governor, are so domineering, I will sue you now."

Originally, Zhang Zongxian didn't want to talk to these civil servants, but he didn't expect the governor to be so ignorant of flattery.It happened to be used to scare chickens and monkeys.

"Someone here tied up this man for the governor, and handed it over to Eunuch Wei, who will escort him to Dongchang."

When he heard that he was going to be tied up and handed over to Dongchang, the governor of Datong panicked and shouted:
"I am the governor of a town. Why do you arrest me? You only have the power to control military affairs. How dare you arrest me?"

Zhang Zongxian looked at the governor who had been tied up with the eyes of a dead man and said:
"Why? Just because you want to rebel, you, a governor, use your own money to reward the side generals. You are not trying to rebel, but what are you doing?"

After hearing this, the governor of Datong suddenly seemed to have been sucked out of his soul, and immediately slumped on the ground. The governor of a town rewarded the side general with private money. Originally, this matter was big or small, but if it fell into the hands of Dongchang, he would not be able to die , it will inevitably involve the hometown of classmates, friends, and disciples, and it may even be punished by the nine clans.

The eunuch who supervised the army in Datong Town also came to see what happened?When I walked to the door, I saw the governor of Datong being escorted into a prison van. I don't know where to send him?

The superintendent wanted to see Zhang Zongxian and ask what was going on, so he was followed by Wei Zhongxian's godson, Zhang Zongxian's cheap brother, the father-in-law Li who has now changed his surname to Wei.

Before entering the door, he was slapped by Eunuch Wei. Seeing that it was an eunuch who beat him, the supervising army stepped forward to argue, but Eunuch Wei asked the guards beside him to take him down without saying a word to him. Opportunity, just look at it.

Little Eunuch Wei didn't want to come at first, but the emperor ordered him to stay where Zhang Zongxian was. Today he was still sleeping, but Zhang Zongxian called him suddenly, saying that there was a major case of treason that he wanted to handle.

As soon as he heard that someone was going to rebel, Little Eunuch Wei rushed over. The last time he found out the rebellion of General Yanshou, he was praised by Tianqi, and now someone is rebelling again. Isn't this giving him credit?

After seeing Zhang Zongxian and knowing the cause and effect, Eunuch Wei was ecstatic. A governor dared to use private money to reward the side generals. Isn't this treason?
I thought to myself that his godfather was fighting with those Donglins. Even if this governor is not Donglin, he can't help him when he enters Dongchang. Don't these civil servants like to mess with some classmates?Is it on the same list?If you check it casually, there is a connection, but I don't believe it can't be implicated in the Donglin cabinet.

After thanking Zhang Zongxian, the eldest brother, Eunuch Wei first ordered Jin Yiwei to arrest the entire governor's family, and then took the general soldier of Datong who had been locked up by Zhang Zongxian, and then personally detained the governor of Datong and the supervising army. The general soldier went to the capital.
