Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1023

Wang Tong's family members boarded the ship in Tianjin Wei, Tang Shan personally led the team, and the Tianjin Division also specially selected trustworthy police officers on board to ensure that everything was safe.

Followed by Tianjin Wei’s confidant family servants, and the people arranged by Tianjin Division, a few people were directly brushed off when they boarded the ship. There was no reason. These people used to argue, but someone told them that the master was still in place. Come on, there should be eyeliner spies planted by your side. Now that you don’t do tolerance, why are you still following suit? Could it be possible to wait until the sea and throw it to you to feed the fish?

After saying this, several people died in despair, knowing that their identity had been recognized. The 100 million taels of silver and 15 taels of gold were all shipped as ballast goods, and very few people knew.

The ship arrived at Dengzhou Fucheng and stayed at the port for ten days, waiting for the fleet from Liaodong to meet. The fleet from Liaodong was to pick up Wang Tong.

Greetings have already been made with Wang Xijue. Although Li Hutou and Cai Nan feel helpless about Wang Tong's decision, they also know that Wang Tong's voluntary resignation is the best choice in the current situation. The entire Wang Tong system, Whether it is the army or the economy, or even civil officials like Lu Wancai, all aspects can continue and be preserved.

Li Hutou and the other regiments combined together and selected [-] retired veterans as Wang Tong's guards, and they followed him to the south of the Yangtze River.

Among the personal guards, Sha Dongning unexpectedly did not become an officer of the Tianjin Guards Navy, but was willing to follow Wang Tong to Songjiang and serve as his attendant.

Ma Sanbiao originally wanted to follow, but was persuaded by Wang Tong. No one else said that Ma Sanbiao's mother was old and a native of the capital. She might not be able to adapt to the changes in the climate and environment. It was better to stay in the capital for the elderly. , and in fact, Wang Tong still has a big stall in the capital, and Ma Sanbiao is left behind, which can be regarded as someone suppressing the scene.

The Sanjiang system is Wang Tong's private property. After Zhang Cheng settled in Tianjin Wei, Wang Tong instructed them to ask Zhang Cheng's opinion on some important matters.

Of course, this time Wang Tong resigned from office without authorization and went to Jiangnan. No one would ask for instructions on this matter, but the news will not be kept secret for too long, or when Han Xia and others went to greet him, Zhang Cheng probably guessed it. At the time, I just didn't know what to do. It is said that Zhang Cheng felt emotional afterward, and he knew how to advance and retreat, and he walked well.

As for people like Cai Nan, Li Hutou, Zhang Shiqiang, and Lu Wancai, Wang Tong didn't need to worry about it anymore, each of them had their own scene.

In fact, although the original regulations did not expressly stipulate the law, in fact, the Emperor Wanli gave the order to Wang Tong, and Wang Tong arranged for this person to do things, which is equivalent to Wang Tong's jurisdiction. In general, the current structure is more secure.

The capital dispatched the letter in a hurry, but it was a few days faster than Wang Tong's fleet. In mid-June, the decree had already arrived at Songjiang Mansion.

The content of the decree was naturally inquired from many sources, and the imperial envoy who delivered the decree was also instructed to not conceal the content of the decree at all. Wang Tong has not yet arrived, and the news is already flying all over the sky.

".Wang Tong is the Duke of the Liao Kingdom, and is still the commander of Jinyiwei. The Songjiang Prefecture has a general office, who is in charge of all military and civilian affairs, and supervises the opening of the port."

It was a matter of course for Wang Tong that the Marquis became the Duke of the State. The rise of the title was reasonable, but in fact, it was beyond everyone's expectations. With such a great feat, everyone thought that the court would break the rules.

Since the Jiajing year, there have been many wars in the southeast and northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and there are also many people who have been rewarded for their military exploits. Although the position of the Duke is lofty, there are three people.

However, Wang Tong, the Duke of the State, is hereditary, which is very remarkable. That is to say, the position of the Duke of Wang Tong, the Duke of Wang, can be passed on, and the descendants are all Dukes of the State from generation to generation.

There was only one non-Zhu family with such a noble title in the world, and that was Wei Guogong Xu's family in Nanjing. The world is vast, Nanjing is the former capital, and Jiangnan is the center of food and taxation. There must be special personnel to manage it. However, the capital is in the north, and the two trips are far away, and it is impossible to send relatives to sit in the town. Therefore, the Xu family, the eunuch guarding Nanjing, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Nanjing are jointly managed by the three parties. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "king of Zhennan".

It is also because of such a position that the Xu family has the hereditary duke title, and now Wang Tong also has it.

Although the commander of Jinyiwei is a real job, all the important yamen are in the capital. There are only three thousand households in Nanjing. What can they do?

As for Songjiang, the general office, it is the most detailed description in each position, and everyone can understand it. This is tantamount to handing Songjiang Mansion into Wang Tong's hands.

Except for Suzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion is the richest place in the world. Now if this place is given to Wang Tong, many people will drool, but after thinking about it carefully, it is clear that the court is actually a bit stingy to use Songjiang Mansion to reward Wang Tong for his great achievements.

***********
The locals in Songjiang didn't care about it. After Xu's family was wiped out by "pirates" overnight, the Songjiang Mansion actually didn't have much power anymore.

Some people wanted to make up their minds about the large tracts of fertile land left by the Xu family, but it turned out that Sanjiang Commercial Bank had already taken the lead. The fertile land in Songjiang Prefecture, as well as the spinning and weaving industry, Sanjiang Commercial Bank had quickly grasped it. Sanjiang Commercial Bank is much more fair than Xu's, and never buys or sells by force.

The good land is in Sanjiang Commercial Bank, and the spinning and weaving is also controlled by Sanjiang Commercial Bank. The economy of Songjiang Prefecture is actually controlled by Wang Tong. Now he is given the title of Songjiang General Office, but it is only clear.

The current Songjiang Mansion is also the territory of Wang Tong's family. It's not like the locals of Songjiang Mansion haven't seen what others can do here.

On the other side of Shanghai County, Sanjiang Commercial Company has already hired people to carry out large-scale construction projects and started to build a manor for Wang Tong.

And some time ago, a military officer named Liao Lang came to Songjiang Mansion to do an inspection, and he was in charge of arresting robbers and investigating. The common people didn't know who Liao Lang was, but many of the subordinates brought back by Liao Lang recognized them. , Isn't this someone who messed around in Taihu Lake back then?It is said that it was the largest group of water robbers in Taihu Lake, and then disappeared for a while, but they were recruited by the government. It is said that these people are Wang Tong's subordinates.

Originally thought that he was an outsider as an official, and there would always be some inconvenient places. Who would have thought that there would be local snakes as his subordinates, so how could it be inconvenient.

Not to mention, all the officials working in the Songjiang Mansion now came from various yamen in Tianjin Wei. That was Wang Tong's old foundation and old site. He came here, wouldn't he look the same as in Tianjin Wei?

When it was almost July, Wang Tong's fleet arrived at Songjiang Mansion, and the local gentry, officials of Songjiang Mansion, and relevant wealthy people from Nanjing all came to greet them.

Seeing the three-masted and five-masted ships in Wang Tong's fleet, the black cannons on board, and the veteran guards who followed Wang Tong off the ship, everyone's attitude was very respectful. Da Chuan, these murderous guards, he Wang Tong can run rampant in Jiangnan.

Among the group of wealthy people who greeted them on the pier, many were sent by Nanjing Xungui and Fengyang Zhongdu Xungui. Naturally, from top to bottom in Nanzhili, some officials came in person, and some were sent People, these people are welcoming on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are also looking at the scenery. He, Wang Tong, used to run wild in the world, relying on the favor of Emperor Wanli and his own power. The Huwei Army and Jinyiwei are the most important reasons.

Now he resigned to avoid suspicion, Jin Yiwei couldn't take it away, and the army was left in Liaodong. Now Wang Tong is nothing but the false title of the commander of Liao Guogong and Jin Yiwei, and a mere Songjiang general office can count How big is the prefect level.

When you Wang Tong came to the south of the Yangtze River, you beat people and burned boats, and you were crushed everywhere. Before you left, you scraped off a large sum of money and left. Now that you are here, you have no power and power Yes, everyone says that you Wang Tong is the most wealthy man in the world, so it's time for you to shed some blood this time, or else I'll let you see what bullying is.

Seeing these cannons, seeing these big ships, and seeing the neatly dressed and murderous veterans, he, Wang Tong, actually transported more than a hundred cavalry over by boat.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all were speechless, no matter what situation Wang Tong was in now, no one dared to speak when this power was displayed, at least don't think about things like dismounting, otherwise, so many previous examples Put it, don't make the same mistakes again.

*************
"My lords, my elders, what is my virtue and my ability, I am really ashamed to thank you all for coming to respond!"

When Wang Tong got off the boat, he still saluted in a well-regulated way, and everyone returned the salute according to the rules. After Wang Tong got up, he looked around and said with a smile:

"When I was on the boat, I heard that Songjiang Mansion opened a port. Manpower and material resources are in short supply. The progress of many projects has been delayed for a long time. Your Majesty has high hopes for the opening of Songjiang Port. We must not let you down!"

Wang Tong talked about business affairs at the beginning, everyone was surprised, and then raised the big hat of Emperor Wanli, everyone naturally echoed, expressing their opinions or heartbroken, Wang Tong said with a smile after everyone finished speaking:

"Since everyone has such thoughts, I will not be polite. After five days, the entire Songjiang Mansion will start clearing the land and checking the population. Some people will contribute their strength. We must start the various projects for opening the port as soon as possible. "

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't dare to say anything against it. This Wang Tong, who first arrived in Songjiang, gave everyone a warning.
