Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Although I, Su Mu, don't like money, my family has a lot of people. I have three wives and three children, and I will have children in the future. So many people need to eat, so I want to take this opportunity to earn more living expenses.

Also, by the way, help Emperor Zhengde enrich his pockets, hello, hello, hello, everyone, why not do it?

Just as he was talking, someone came to report: "Master Su and Mr. Hu, Commander He of Shaanxi Town Commander came to ask for an audience."

Su Mu laughed: "Master Taishan, the big fish has arrived."

Commander He of Shanxi Town brought his troops into Ningxia, and never thought of putting down the rebellion of King Anhua by himself.

Just kidding, there are 3 rebels in Ningxia, no matter how bad it is, five or six thousand elites can always be drawn.What's more, this group of army bases are old and old, and they are not comparable to the group of local town troops under him.

When I came to Ningxia this time, I only had 3000 people on hand, which seemed to be a lot.But my stomach hurts, and I know that among the 3000 people, there are only about two hundred servants who can really fight the enemy.

Why did he come to Ningxia? In fact, Shanxi Town is adjacent to Ningxia. If Ningxia rebelled, if he didn't want to come, he might end up serving as a commander at that time, and he might even be beheaded by the court.

Of course, the power balance is too great.After entering Ningxia, Commander He simply stationed his troops on the east bank of the Yellow River, holding back on the pretext that the Yellow River moat was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In fact, he was beating a drum in his heart, burning incense and chanting Buddha all day long: Amitabha, Buddha bless you, King Anhua, please don't call here!

If the rebels really cross over, Commander He has already made up his mind to run away to his mother when the time comes.In the future, the imperial court will investigate: it's not that our army doesn't work hard, it's that the enemy is too cunning!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ang's army disappeared without a trace after only staying at the Yellow River Ferry for one day, which confused Commander He.

It took him a day to find out.Now the rebellion in Ningxia has been compiled by the Hanlin Academy, and it has been quelled by Hu Shun, the inspector of Shaanxi Xuezheng Sumu and Jinyi's pro-military Yamen Experience Department.

Now, Zhou Ang and Qiu Yue have been beheaded, and King Anhua has also been imprisoned by Su Mu.

Hearing this news, Commander He didn't care too much, took a team of guards, took money tickets, and rode fast to Ningxia City to meet Su Mu: The rebellion in Ningxia has been put down, so it can be said that it is Su Mu and Hu Shun Do it yourself.At this time, it is time to go to please, and perhaps get a little credit.Otherwise, the soup will not be able to drink a sip.

Commander He didn't look like a soldier, but a businessman with long sleeves and good at dancing.

After seeing Su Mu, he immediately knelt on the ground as a subordinate to salute, and said that his surname was He, and he was a family member of Shaanxi Xuezheng Master He Jingming 800 years ago.In terms of seniority, He Xuezheng has to be called an uncle.Forget it, Mr. Su is my uncle.

"Uncle, this is a little filial piety from my nephew, I hope you can accept it."

Seeing Commander He, who was almost 50 years old with a beard, called him Uncle, Su Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

However, Commander He has a lot of money, and when he makes a move, he gets two 1 taels of cash.

He also said that after waiting, additional funds will be allocated to reward the soldiers.

Su Mu knew that this person wanted to spend money to buy credit.

It seems that this victory note can be sent out.

After a few days, Ningxia gradually calmed down, and everything returned to the way it was before, as if the rebellion never happened.

The army commanded by He marched into Ningxia and sent people to deliver ten carts of silver, totaling 40 taels.

Of course, this expense will also be recorded on the court in the future, and the Ministry of War will make up for it.

In this way, the military pay paid to the soldiers is deducted, and it is used to appease the people.There are about 50 left.

Su Mu ordered people to deliver 30 taels to the capital along with the good news, and filled it into the emperor's internal treasury.

With the remaining 20 taels, it is naturally worth five points with Hu Shun Eryi.

"I really look like a corrupt official now!" Su Mu couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

However, you need money to lead troops. If you want to be a clean and honest official, you can't do anything at all.

"Civil officials don't love money, military officers don't fear death, and the world can be settled." The army is a monster that eats money, and honesty is not what a military officer should have. You only need to not be afraid of death and be able to win battles.

The later generation of military god Qi Jiguang was very rich, but it did not affect the brilliance of national heroes in his family.Conversely, if Hai Rui were to lead a Japanese bandit to fight, even if he was not greedy, he might not be the enemy's opponent.When that time really comes, I'm afraid something will go wrong.

As soon as the good news came out, it was sent out immediately at [-] miles.

According to the time, it can be delivered to Emperor Zhengde within half a month at most.

To appease the upper echelons of the army, Su Mu considered that after the incident in Ningxia, people's hearts were fluctuating, and he also needed to be appeased.

An announcement was made: From now on, the imperial court will clear up the land and reform the military system, and the bad government will be completely abolished.In Ningxia, no matter scholars, peasant households, craftsmen, merchants or military households, each has its own standard.

In a word, the new law is not being implemented, and if something happens, he, Su Mu, knows to be responsible to the court. How everyone lived before is still how they live now.

As soon as this order was issued, among other things, the military households all heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, shouting "Su Qingtian, Master Qingtian!"

The hearts of the army and the people have completely stabilized this time.

Next, the military and political affairs of the entire Ningxia city were presided over by Su Mu alone, which seemed to be a bit of a feudal lord.

Su Mu couldn't help feeling emotional: "Presiding over a place and being part of thousands of people is indeed a bit of a feeling, but this feeling is not what you can experience when you are an official in the capital."

"The fierce general comes from the battlefield, and the prime minister comes from the prefecture. Sooner or later, the teacher will join the cabinet, but he lacks the experience of being in charge, and now he can be considered a qualification."

"Jun Fu said so." Su Mu nodded.

"However, teacher, the student has something to say."

"Go ahead."

"My teacher abolished the new law without going through the court. Maybe your majesty won't say anything, but I'm afraid Liu Jin will bear a grudge." That's right, this is like slapping Liu Jin in the face.

Everyone knows that the Ningxia rebellion was actually caused by Eunuch Liu.

It's just that, fearing Liu Jin's power, no one dared to speak out.

With such a hand, Su Mu directly exposed the cause of Ningxia's rebellion.

I'm afraid that from now on, the conflict between Su Mu and Liu Jin will become irreconcilable.

"I also understand this truth, but I have to do it." Su Mu smiled lightly.

Xie Ranran: "The students don't understand."

"My lord, if I don't abolish the new law, the soldiers will not feel at ease. Some people even worry that the court will liquidate their crimes of treason. A while ago, I took money from the officers anyway, which stabilized the upper ranks of the army, but the lower ranks But the soldiers couldn’t help but be appeased. The instigator of this rebellion was Liu Jin, and when I abolished the new law this time, I made it clear that I wanted to support them. Now, the soldiers are completely at ease, and Ningxia has been fine since then.”

Xie Ranran suddenly realized: "The student understands."

"As for Liu Jin." Su Mu smiled and said nothing.

If history does not undergo major changes, Liu Jin's political life is over.

Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong finally seized this opportunity, will they let Liu Jin go?

No, this time, both the civil service and Zhang Yong want him to die.

Inside and outside the palace, the government and the public all wanted Liu Jin's life. Even if Emperor Zhengde stepped in, he couldn't save him.
