Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 970 Internal and External Training (9)

Among all the governors of Yingtian, Liang Tingdong was definitely the most helpless one. He obviously held real power, but many of the things he did were to maintain stability for other situations. The root of all this was that under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, there were several departments that were directly under the central government. No, to be more precise, they were officials who were directly under the dispatch of the emperor.

The Joint Office for Suppressing Japanese Aggression.

Western Investigation Factory.

Joint Disaster Relief and Emergency Response Division.

Salt Law Administration.

The above-mentioned officials were ordered to leave Beijing and rush to Nanzhili because of specific events. Before Liang Tingdong was appointed as the governor of Yingtian, he held an important position in the Joint Office for Suppressing the Japanese.

It was precisely this kind of experience that made Liang Tingdong realize that all matters involving the above officials, no matter how big or small, must be mediateed and stabilized!
no way.

He knew very well what important positions the above officials held.

There is another person who has the same experience as Liang Tingdong.

That was Wu Aheng, the governor of Fengyang.

Fengyang Mansion.

Governor's Yamen.

"Under the current circumstances, if we continue to cut back on the garrisons, it may not be particularly appropriate for the situation in the Jianghuai area." Zhu Mei, who was appointed as the commander-in-chief, looked at Wu Aheng, who was busy at his desk, with a serious expression.

"Especially in the Xuzhou area, although there are the Tianxiong Army and the Huangmingzong Army under the command of that person in Xuzhou and other places, but according to what I know, the grain transport army has been disbanded and the grain transport branch office has been established. It seems that the situation has stabilized, but some situations in many places in Jianghuai are still..."

"Don't I understand what you are talking about?"

Wu Ahheng frowned slightly, looked up at Zhu Mei and said, "If we don't push for the reduction of the garrisons right now, do you think there will be another chance in the future?"

Zhu Mei was silent.

It is true that he was previously the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and even participated in several important battles while leading troops to garrison Liaodong, for which he was awarded the title. However, since he was transferred to Fengyang and took up the post of commander-in-chief, knowing what happened in the Jianghuai area, Zhu Mei had a feeling that the chaos in Liaodong was simple, while the chaos in other places in the Ming Dynasty was more complicated than the other! !

"Whether it's Lu Xiangsheng and his people, Zuo Liangyu, Yang Lian and his people, or the disaster relief and emergency joint branch specially set up in Jianghuai, anything they do will affect the Governor's Office."

Wu Ah Heng continued, "But the situation in Jianghuai is like this. Even if some of the things done by the above officials will cause a lot of impact or even trouble, what my governor's office wants to do must be done firmly."

"You and I are both aware of how corrupt the garrisons in the Jianghuai area are. This matter was originally in the charge of Lu Xiangsheng and his men, and they solved it in the name of rectifying the canal troops. But in the end, His Majesty issued an edict and ordered the Fengyang Governor's Office to supervise the matter. Don't you understand His Majesty's intention?"

How can I not understand this?

Zhu Mei sighed inwardly.

Although many places in the Ming Dynasty are in chaos and the situation is tense, some trends remain unchanged, such as the reduction of garrisons and even the abolition of a large number of them. This is an unchangeable fact.

This trend started in Northern Zhili and was later fully implemented in Liaodong, which led to the upgrading of Liaodong and the establishment of the Liaodong Provincial Administration Commission. Under this background, it was quietly launched in many places. Although many things happened in some places before and after this, this trend has never changed. As a military commander, how could Zhu Mei not see the determination and will of the emperor in the capital for military reform, especially when he knew that the Beijing Camp in the capital had started to rectify and reorganize.

"When Yuan Shizhen was supervising the salt transportation in Jianghuai, he discovered that part of the smuggling came from the garrisons." Wu Aheng frowned.

"The Jianghuai salt administration is stabilizing at the moment, but if the rotten roots are not removed, who can guarantee that the dirty things won't happen again?"

"Besides, when reducing the number of garrisons in Jianghuai, the officials did not ignore these garrison soldiers. Those with families can participate in the selection of the Jianghuai Salt Law and Canal Transport General Administration."

"Not to mention that in Huai and Yang Prefectures, there are not only reorganized government-run salt fields, but also government-run shipyards under construction. As long as you work hard, it won't be difficult to support your family, let alone accumulate wealth."

"I understand what the governor said."

After hearing this, Zhu Mei stepped forward and said, "But since the reduction of the guards, I have noticed that some people in the dark seem to be fanning the flames, causing riots in many of the selected guards."

"I have soldiers under my command, but I am worried that if this trend changes, it will affect the rectification of the canal army. I am even worried that the order that the governor has tried to maintain may change."

"I know everything you said."

After hearing this, Wu Ah Heng smiled and said, "You don't think that what I've been busy with these days has nothing to do with the reduction of the garrisons, do you?"

Ok?
Zhu Mei looked puzzled.

"I have investigated a group of people regarding the matter you mentioned."

Wu Ahheng collected his thoughts and said with a sharp look, "They are planning something big. This governor has informed Lu Xiangsheng about this matter a long time ago. You just need to do your job well. As for other things, you don't need to worry about them. Even if anything happens during the reduction of the garrisons, it will be under control."

Wu Aheng felt angry at this moment.

He didn't understand why under the Ming Dynasty, there were so many treacherous and treacherous villains who would disregard everything for their own selfish interests.

Zhu Mei didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng, who was far away in Xuzhou, had been planning a big event recently, and part of the reason why he made up his mind to do so came from his correspondence with Wu Aheng.

In Fengyang, Wu Aheng knew what Lu Xiangsheng was going to do. Although he had some concerns and worries at first, after some experiences, he made up his mind.

Since Jianghuai is in the current situation, we might as well solve all the problems in one go. If we don't eradicate all the treacherous villains hiding in the dark, Jianghuai will never be stable. If this is really the case, once Jianghuai dares to have any variables, such as natural disasters, if it is pushed to a certain extent, there will be big problems.

There have been too many disasters in Jianghuai in recent years, and the disasters are out of control. Wu Aheng doesn't dare to think about it anymore.

Anyone who has been in the government knows how special Jianghuai is.

Wu Aheng does not want any major disturbances to occur in the areas under his jurisdiction during his tenure as the governor of Fengyang. If that happens, he will be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty!

The changes that the Ming Dynasty has achieved today are really hard-won. Wu Ahheng really wants to see what the Ming Dynasty will be like after the real changes. For this reason, even if he has to bear some infamy, what does it matter?
