Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 162 The whole army goes to sea
The starry sky is very bright late at night, and the moonlight shines on the earth. Compared with the night view of the capital, Tianjin Sanwei is a bit monotonous, and Tianjin Acropolis has lost the hustle and bustle of the day.

"Seeing that spring plowing is coming soon, all kinds of farm tools have not been made yet, so we need to hurry up on this matter."

Chen Qiyu's voice rang out in the Tianjin Bingbei Road Office, and more than a dozen officials were seen gathered in the main hall. Chen Qiyu said seriously: "In the fields under the jurisdiction of the three guards of Tianjin, this year's spring plowing must be foolproof. Food cannot only be purchased. To solve it, look at how much food prices have risen in the past few months.

The group of refugees gathered by the Road Department have reclaimed a lot of wasteland and built a lot of workshops. However, I don't want to reiterate the principle of taking precautions in the bud. You all know it, right?

If Tianjin Sanwei wants to change for the better, farming must improve. This year's spring plowing will be foolproof. By next year, the newly reclaimed batches of wasteland will..."

Chen Qiyu spoke seriously, and the gathered officials listened carefully. Since Chen Qiyu came to Tianjin Bingbeidao to take up his post, the world of Tianjin has been quietly changing.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood is.

As a local official, he must pretend to be kind-hearted in everything. Since Chen Qiyu came to Tianjin to take office, he rarely goes to bed early. He has to be busy until very late every day before going to bed. However, no matter how late he goes to bed, he gets up before dawn every day. .

Sort out the Three Guards of Tianjin, stabilize the Tianjin Acropolis, appease people's hearts, gather the refugees, build smelting and salt-drying workshops, reclaim wasteland, review unjust, false and wrong cases, preside over the reconstruction of the Acropolis, rectify and manage water conservancy...

As time goes by, more and more things happen to Chen Qiyu. Only Chen Qiyu understands the hardship and sadness.

In the quiet main hall, Chen Qiyu sat on the official chair. Even though all the officials had left, Chen Qiyu had no intention of taking a rest.

"We still need to hire another batch of internal funds."

I don't know how long it took, but Chen Qiyu seemed to have made up his mind. He muttered to himself, leaned forward, picked up the pen and started writing.

Since he came to Tianjin Sanwei and took office, he has repeatedly submitted secret reports to the emperor, listing the actual situation of Tianjin Sanwei and asking where the internal funds should be used. Regarding such matters, Zhu Youxiao in Beijing received secret reports every time. They all immediately condemned the inner court and escorted the money to Tianjin.

Zhu Youxiao is stingy, but also generous.

Among the civil servants in Beijing, who wants to put their thoughts on internal funds? Zhu Youxiao's attitude is very clear, there is no money, but if Zhu Youxiao trusts the civil and military officials, no matter how much internal funds are needed, as long as it is reasonable and stated, it will be done For everything, Zhu Youxiao not only allocated internal funds, but also allocated more money every time.

"... Chen Qiyu requested that Your Majesty can allocate another 50 taels of internal funds to alleviate the current situation in Tianjin. In particular, the renovation of the Tianjin Acropolis cannot be delayed. Tianjin is a key point in defending the capital, and the Tianjin Acropolis has been in disrepair for many years. , coupled with the various disasters encountered, many places collapsed..."

Chen Qiyu was busy at his desk, writing down many of his thoughts on the petition for internal funds in this secret memorial one by one. Although Chen Qiyu also knew in his heart that he had requested a lot of internal funds from the emperor several times in the past, but the problems in Tianjin and If you want to sort out the bad government one by one, you must rely on money to maintain it.

Footsteps sounded outside the main hall. Cao Wenyao, wearing armor and holding a sword, hurried towards the main hall. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Chen Qiyu who was busy at his desk.

"Military Constitution~"

"What's the matter?"

Chen Qiyu did not raise his head. When Cao Wenyao came to the main hall, he knew that it was related to the Tianjin Navy. The current Tianjin Navy was beginning to take shape.

"The first batch of Qi Qin's elite troops who came to Tianjin under the imperial edict will leave Tianjin tonight."

Cao Wenyao clasped his fists and saluted: "Everyone has boarded the ship now, but at the Tianjin Navy Station, a few suspicious people have been arrested."

"Someone wants to find out the news." Chen Qiyu paused, looked up at Cao Wenyao and said, "Is there any fish that slipped through the net?"

"No."

Cao Wenyao shook his head and said, "They are all under arrest."

"That's good."

Chen Qiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Although Qi Qin's partial commander is secretly going to Tianjin, he still has many elites under his command. No matter how hard he hides his whereabouts, there is no guarantee that anyone will notice it.

His Majesty's dispatch of troops to assist Liao and go to the front line caused considerable controversy in Beijing, and the current situation in the DPRK and China is unstable. It is difficult to guarantee that some people will take advantage of the situation to do something.

Those who were arrested were carefully examined to see who was behind them. After finding out, the matter was handed over, and the officer secretly submitted it to the imperial court. "

"Here."

Cao Wenyao immediately clasped his fists, but hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Qiyu and said: "Bing Xian, if there is a war before Liao, and Qi Qin's partial army is ordered to go to Liao, shouldn't he land through the three guards in southern Liao? Why are they going to this place? Pi Island? This place..."

"I don't know this either."

Chen Qiyu shook his head and said: "But since His Majesty has made this decision, he probably has a hidden meaning. All we need to do is to do our part well."

Zhu Youxiao did not tell the outside world what the partial divisions commanded by Qi Jin and Qin Bangping were going to do on Pi Island. The fewer people knew about such confidential strategic arrangements, the better. Even Chen Qiyu and the others were ordered to assist When Qi Qin goes to sea, don't be affected by irrelevant things.

Going out to sea from Sanwei, Tianjin, passing through Huangcheng Island, then passing through Guanglu Island, Zhangzi Island and other places, sailing all the way to Pi Island. This shipping journey is full of hardships.

The Zhejiang soldiers commanded by Qi Jin were relatively good, and many of them were familiar with the water. However, the white pole soldiers commanded by Qin Bangping and the accompanying Yongwei battalion were not very familiar with the water, which made the voyage inevitably full of ups and downs.

"By the way, the Tianjin Navy still wants to let the outside world know."

As Chen Qiyu spoke, he thought of something, stretched out his hand and said to Cao Wenyao: "Just say that I was ordered to go to sea to aid Liao with a batch of grain. I will keep silent on this matter."

"Do you want a military constitution?"

Cao Wenyao was stunned for a moment, but then he thought of something.

"Some accounts should be settled!"

Chen Qiyu said with a cold look: "There are a lot of hidden things in Tianjin. Now I am beginning to suspect that someone is spying on Tianjin's movements and wants to do something privately.

Although I still don't know what they want to do, I have an intuition that something is going to happen not only in Tianjin, but also in the entire Gyeonggi Province. "

Chen Qiyu has been an official for so long and knows very well the faces of some people. Although many people have been eliminated in Tianjin Sanwei before, this does not mean that other people will be honest when there are some changes.

Not to mention anything else, just because Chen Qiyu gathered the refugees and reclaimed wasteland under Tianjin's rule, and the food prices in Tianjin area continued to rise, Chen Qiyu suppressed his anger. Even if he is greedy for money, he must have a certain temper! ! !
