Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1074 The expelled old subordinate

Beginning in April 20th of Wanli, Daming has gradually become tense. The Huwei army stationed near the capital increased the amount of training, and Cai Nan went to the workshop and the armory to check the ordnance.

Everyone understands this move very well. Strengthening training and inspecting ordnance is the posture of preparing for war. If you contact Sanjiang Artisan Workshop to purchase grain and overhaul carts, you will understand it all the more.

The Forbidden Army and the Beijing Camp are also doing the same thing. The strength of all parts of the capital has increased. Both Dongchang and Jinyiwei have sent people to Liaoning to investigate the case. It is a case of corrupt ink in Zhizhou. No one understands what this is for. .

Xuanfu and Jizhen also became tense, not to mention the Lijian Yumajian and the Ministry of War sent people to Liaoning to check the soldiers and horses one after another. The three general soldiers in Liaoning were all busy.

Even if there were only [-] Japanese pirates in North Korea, that would be a serious problem. After all, it was not far from the capital in North Korea. Back then, thousands of Japanese pirates caused such a commotion in the southeast. Naturally, these [-] Japanese pirates should be treated with caution.

Regardless of the combat ability of North Korea, there are still enough people calling for help, and they continue every day. From the daily news, it can be judged that the Japanese army is approaching the border of Ming Dynasty day by day.

Different from other foreign feudal clans, this North Korea has been paying tribute since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and is very familiar with the heroes of the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, they call for help through official procedures, and on the other hand, some people bring gold and silver treasures, from the eunuchs in the inner palace, From the Great Scholars of the Outer Dynasty to the procuratorate of everything, even the Zheng family was sought, and anyone who could speak was sought.

The current court meeting is also discussing these things. Originally, in the land of Sichuan, Guizhou and Chu, a large number of chieftain consolation envoys were either eliminated or handed over power on their own initiative. A large number of prefectures and counties were newly established, and personnel arrangements are indispensable. Worry, but the central place can't take care of those, and talks about North Korea and Japan every day.

Compared with the tense Gyeonggi, Jiangnan is relatively more relaxed. Everyone who has been to Songjiang Port and seen the Sanjiang fleet has confidence in the safety of this area, let alone those who know the details of Luzon. Such a powerful fleet, Japanese pirates are nothing.

The capital is preparing for war, and Songjiang is not slacking off. Wang Tong has already ordered the sea masters allied with him to leave their elite and good ships in Songjiang. Each family does not ask for too much power, but They have to go out, they are not idle in Songjiang, but they will not run any long-distance business.

In June, three Portuguese merchant ships came to Songjiang. These ships came from the Arabian side. In addition to the special products there, they also brought Persian female slaves. It was really a sensation in the south of the Yangtze River. According to Wang Tong's men According to the white stewards, these trafficked white female slaves may not all be Persians, and there is a high possibility that they are from European countries.

The Ottoman Empire between Europe and Asia is also known to be strong. The harem of the Ottoman caliphate is composed of female slaves. The princes, nobles and important ministers at all levels below have this habit, so the population trade is very prosperous in Ottoman. Traffickers come from all over the world. They search for people to sell here.

Of course, not every woman can enter the harem or noble family, and many people will also sell them to other places. The preferences of rich people are mostly the same. , the Portuguese naturally know it, and they want to make a fuss about it.

After buying it in the population market over there, a brief recovery was carried out in Macau to let the female slaves have a better condition, and then they went north to Songjiang.

The arrival of these female slaves is indeed a sensation. The exotic customs are unique. Everyone wants to try something new and keep it at home to show off. Fengyue resorts such as Qinhuai River, Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou are even more business-minded, and hurried over to buy. It also adds a selling point to my own side, and there are even those sultry literati who write and paint.

***************
On the other hand, besides sorting out information, Wang Tong has other things to do. Seeing that Zhai Xiu'er is about to give birth, the whole inner house is busy with this matter, and Wang Tong can't interfere with this kind of busyness. However, Wang Tong was unwilling to go back and be idle, and the time spent in the study and the school field increased greatly every day.

On the morning of the fifth day of June, Wang Tong was exercising with Wang Xia. Wang Xia was already about the size of a seven or eight-year-old child, and he was very strong. Wang Tong was happy to see it.

After all, he is the son of your family. He has delicious snacks and drinks since he was a child, and he exercises well. In addition, Wang Tong is strong, and Han Xia is also a general. There is no need to say about his physical fitness. At first glance, he looks like a general.

"You kid, you are very good at practicing martial arts, but you just don't want to study, and you skip class to play around, be careful that I will beat you with a board!"

Wang Tong was teaching the lesson with a tigerish face. Wang Xia held a long pole in his hand and stabbed forward with a standard posture. The child could settle down in martial arts, but he couldn't read the book. Wang Tong taught it not once.

He was teaching here, but a guard outside came to report that someone from Ningxia had come.

It was only in the past two years that Wang Tong was free and had the opportunity to be with his wife and children. Of course, his practice was criticized in the circle of the rich and powerful in Jiangnan. There are certain rules for the frequency, time, and even the place. Wang Tong is very careless, but Wang Tong doesn't care, and others dare not talk about it.

The situation is like this, Wang Tong's personal guards are also characters with sharp eyebrows, the father-in-law is enjoying the family happiness, and some unimportant official duties are pushed aside, and Liao Guogong has never slacked off on official affairs, so there is no need to be afraid of delays down to business.

What the guards did, Wang Tong also turned a blind eye, so he was quite surprised by this report. Ningxia has a lot of contacts with Songjiang, but the report is only once every ten days. Letters and messengers do not need to see each other. , but now it is said that someone, what is going on?

"It was General Sun who dismissed the two battalion officers and sent them to the Duke to find a job!"

The personal guard reported it cautiously. He also felt that this matter was a bit unbelievable. Wang Tong frowned even tighter and asked:
"What's the battalion officer's name?"

"Reporting to the Duke, one is Guancheng, and the other is Bai Dawu."

Wang Tong was taken aback when he heard the name. He still knew these two people. They were among the fifty young men who were bought when the capital was the general banner. .

Although all the regiments of the Tiger Mighty Army are always guarding one side, and everyone is an independent system, they can appoint, remove and promote the generals below, but in fact, the battalion officers of each regiment, especially the group promoted by Wang Tong, The head of the regiment and the deputy of the regiment are not allowed to move around. If there is a real crime, no one will say anything about the punishment according to the military law, but Wang Tong must be informed before the punishment. If not, it is against the rules. Likes and dislikes mess up, that's even worse,

Your regiment is always promoted by someone, and you have only been in charge for a few days, and you don’t pay attention to the general. Are you still a member of the Huwei Army? Even if the lawsuit is brought to Emperor Wanli, there will be no accommodation. It is doubtful how loyal an unkind person is.

And can this dispute be discussed with the emperor, from Cai Nan, Zhao Jinliang to Zou Yi, do you treat all the eunuchs as a display?
Fortunately, this is just a human relationship officialdom. The following groups are always upright and understand where their current status comes from. There is no such thing. Li Tao, who came from a family, is more enthusiastic about Wang Tong than others. Then there is no need to say.

If it was Li Tao's dismissal subordinate, Wang Tong was somewhat prepared. He didn't expect it to be Sun Xin, which made him even more surprised. Moreover, the two didn't even say hello before they were dismissed. Tong got up and patted Wang Xia's forehead, called the guards to send Wang Xia to Yang Sichen to study, and went to the main hall by himself.

After entering the main hall, I saw two big men in common clothes kneeling and kowtowing respectfully, and behind the big man there were six soldiers dressed as personal soldiers also kneeling down together.

"Subordinates see the commander-in-chief and ask him how he is."

Hearing the address, the original anger in Wang Tong's heart dissipated a lot, he waved his hand and said:
"It's been a long time since I've been in charge of the army. What's your name as a commander? What did you two do wrong that you were fired?"

The two men were in good spirits and neatly dressed, but overall they looked ashamed. Hearing this, he turned his head and glanced. The six soldiers kowtowed again, and the leader said:

"Commander, President Sun Tuan ordered the younger one to escort the two of them to the commander's side. If the two of them say something, the villain can't hear it, so the villain will retreat."

Hearing his cautiousness, Wang Tong was even more surprised. He nodded to let them retreat, pondered for a while, waved his hand and said:
"Stand back, don't let people hear what's going on here."

The surrounding guards all retreated. This order meant that everyone had to be some distance away from the house. The guards naturally understood and bowed to obey the order.

"Speak!"

At this point, Wang Tong also understood that there must be something hidden in it. When he asked, the two people below looked at each other, and Guan Cheng said with a sullen face:
"Marshal, the younger ones had a good time playing with Boss Sun in Sichuan, and returned to Ningxia in a good mood. Everyone was happy, and Lao Bai and I got together for a few drinks."

"When you were in the capital, you talked a lot of nonsense and talked about business!"

Wang Tong patted the book table impatiently. After he said these irritable words, the atmosphere eased a lot. Guan Cheng quickly kowtowed and said:

"Marshal atonement, his subordinates fought a lot of battles in Sichuan. Those Miao soldiers and Yao soldiers were said by the local officers and soldiers in Sichuan and Chu to be the same as the birth of demons, but after fighting with us, they found out that they are all dog meat. It's not worth fighting at all. When the young man and Lao Bai were drinking, they said, what kind of waste is Chuan Chu's soldiers.——
