Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 629
As soon as Zhang Siwei, the chief assistant of the cabinet, took this position, he rejected the emperor's decree to promote Jinyiwei Qianhu Wang Tong as the commander of the Jinyiwei capital, and recommended Luo Sigong to take this position.

Criticize treachery and promote honest people, these ministers are the virtuous ministers in everyone's hearts. Whether Wang Tong can become the commander of Jinyiwei is regarded as a sign by everyone, and Qingliu scholars are quite happy.

Compared with the competition for the position of the commander of the capital, Zhang Siwei's promotion to Jinyiwei Qianhu Luo Xiucao and Wang Chun as the commander of Jinyiwei is not so noticeable.

The decree to promote Luo Sigong to be the commander of Jinyiwei was issued quickly, and the decree to promote Wang Tong to be the commander of Jinyiwei was passed in the imperial study. It is rumored that Emperor Wanli read the edict for a long time and said with a sigh:

"Losing face..."

But sensitive people can still feel some differences. In the era when the first assistant Zhang Ju was in power, fierce quarrels often broke out between Wang Tong and Tianjin Wei in the court, and there was a stalemate. Although the last concession was often the Emperor Wanli, But there are always many twists and turns.

How come Zhang Siwei is the chief assistant, but the matter about Wang Tong is so quiet, how can Zhang Siwei's prestige and qualifications compare with Zhang Juzheng, and how can Emperor Wanli give in so easily.

After the news about Wang Tong came out from the palace, inexplicably, there began to be a saying among the Qingliu scholars in the capital that Zhang Juzheng was deceived by traitors in his later years, and his actions gradually deviated from the righteousness of a saint, such as using taxes to Isn't it absurd to assess officials and judge their political achievements.This investigation of the acres of land is a whipping method all over the world. Many fields that have been sheltered by famous people have been stripped out, and each family has lost a lot of benefits.

When Zhang Siwei took the position of chief assistant, he was ready to set things right, to stir up the turbidity, to reverse the mistakes step by step. Naturally, all of this was just guesswork. Zhang Siwei didn't make any statement. It is following the line of Zhang Juzheng when he was in power.

The funeral of Zhang Juzheng, the Taishi, the prince Taishi, the great scholar of the Zhongji Temple, and the chief assistant of the cabinet, has not passed for a few days. The government and the public had to pay homage to them. People ignored it intentionally or unintentionally, the praises in the palace and the rewards for Zhang Juzheng's heirs are still the same, but the former Zhang Ge's old mansion, which was full of traffic, was deserted and deserted.

Seeing people who know it, it is just a sigh of emotion that the world is cold and warm, and people go to the tea to cool down.

***********
In Tianjin Wei at the beginning of July, everyone knew that Mr. Wang had suddenly promoted a lame man, whose surname was Liu and his name was Liu Sanlang.

The thing that Liu Sanlang is in charge of is the security army. The security army has a relatively large name. All the tasks within their capacity are taken as corvee service by each family.

Tianjin Wei is doing it seriously. Everyone who participates in the training of the security forces is registered, and there are some small benefits such as tax reductions and exemptions.

For the young and strong people participating in the training, if they have a little ambition and are not satisfied with being ordinary people, there is still a chance to do it seriously in the Security Army, because the Huwei Army, Jinyiwei and other officers and men often choose backup from the Security Army.

In addition to the temporary transfer of personnel from the local area, Sanjiang Commercial Bank, Sanjiang Craftsmanship, Sanjiang Insurance Bank, Sanjiang Bank, and various stores controlled by Wang Tong each have security forces of 100 to hundreds of people, and there are nearly 3000 people in total. [-] people, this team does not recruit young men and craftsmen to fill in.

This team of nearly 3000 people is completely full-time training armaments, except that it does not have the firearms and armor of the Tiger's Might Army, everything else is the same as the Tiger's Mighty Army, and the officers are veterans who have retired from the Tiger's Mighty Army.

This team is not on the list of the Ministry of War, and the military pay and equipment are supplied and paid by various stores in the Sanjiang system. The patrols inside and outside the Tianjin Acropolis, and the protection of various key points are all in charge of the security forces.

The Security Army is said to be an army, but it is not, because they have to deal with various shops, households, and people of all kinds in Tianjin Wei, and they have a lot of contact with the people, so they cannot be governed by the army.

Nearly [-] infantry and cavalry, such power must be held in the hands of Wang Tong's cronies, and everyone understands this truth, so at the beginning, Li Hutou, Li Tao, Sun Xin and other young men from Huwei Martial Arts Hall As for the training commander, who will do it next? Everyone guessed that someone from the Tan family should be in charge, but they didn't expect it to be the little-known Liu Sanlang.

He is called the Commander of the Security Army by name, and this Liu Sanlang hangs a general flag on the side of Jinyiwei Qianhu in Tianjin. Although his position is not high, his power is not small, which means that he is responsible for maintaining the law and order inside and outside Tianjin Acropolis. There are many places where merchants rely on him.

This person was too unfamiliar, everyone went to inquire, and after inquiring, they found out that Liu Sanlang was also a son of a military household in Tianjin Sanwei, but there was no one in the family, and he was alone.

Hearing that he was alone, everyone was thoughtful, pondering whether it was because of this that they could be in this position. After pondering, the gift-giving and relationship-seeking person immediately stepped through the threshold of Liu Sanlang's house.

It’s not right to say that it’s Liu Sanlang’s family. He’s new to Tianjin Wei. Liu Sanlang doesn’t have much money in his hands. He still rents a house outside the city. The security forces are not soldiers. Even the 3000 people who are always on hand are scattered and lived in various commercial firms for the buddies. In the house, it's just separate.

The commander of the Security Army is not considered a general, so he naturally has no barracks to live in. Wang Tong, who has always taken care of his subordinates, may have forgotten this time and did not arrange a place for him.

Seeing Liu Sanlang's poor life, the merchants immediately became enthusiastic. The merchants in Tianjin Wei are not short of money, not to mention the various gifts, some merchants immediately patted their chests and said:

"How can Master Liu live in such poverty? There is another house beside the Hai River. If you don't mind, you can live in it. There are all maids and servants in it."

Sending the house with the servants is considered the most basic. There are also excellent houses that people enter three times. The best beauties bought elsewhere...

In the past, when Li Hutou and others encountered such a situation, they would just close the door and disappear. Sometimes they were taken advantage of by the other party, and they were so anxious that they would just wave their whips to drive them away.

After all, the Security Army had to draw manpower from these businessmen, and there were many aspects of dealing with them. It would not be a good thing if it was so stiff.

"My lord, this is the gift list from Liu Sanlang."

Sun Dahai handed the gift list to Wang Tong. After Wang Tong took it, he looked at it roughly, and then gave it to Zhang Shiqiang again, and said:
"Arrange your people to check it. If there is no entry or exit, you will pay Liu Sanlang a silver tael and arrange a house to live in. The guards are servants!"

Zhang Shiqiang finally agreed to the gift list, and said with a smile:

"My lord, please report back from the people below. This Liu Sanlang has a soft temper. So many people gave gifts, and he handed them all over after receiving them. He also dealt with those who were going to the women in the house in a gracious manner, and did not let the other party lose In terms of face, merchants both inside and outside think that Liu Sanlang is easy to deal with."

Wang Tong nodded and said in a deep voice:
"The Security Army is similar to the servants in the yamen. It would be inconvenient for them to be murderous and stern all day like the soldiers, but they are too good at life. It is a disaster to be soft-mouthed by rich people like Tianjin Wei. Liu Sanlang The person is suitable, the inn greeted and sent to practice polite response, because of serving in the army, our Huwei army has not lost the old foundation, Dahai, let someone go and invite Shen Wang, I will see him today."

Sun Dahai led the order to go out, Wang Tong said to Zhang Shiqiang:
"Liu Sanlang will be watching for half a year. The security forces are short of such a suitable person, but we can't just let it go."

Zhang Shiqiang nodded, hesitated for a while and said:

"My lord, why should you be in such a hurry? There are also many people in the Tiger's Might Army and the Jinyiwei who have experienced experience, and they are slowly looking for people who can be used."

"I can't be the Commander of Chengdu, but the Commander must go to the capital to know this position. In Tianjin Wei, we must hurry up and make all the arrangements. Don't be in a hurry!"

Wang Tong replied in a deep voice, Zhang Shiqiang immediately stopped talking, paused, and Zhang Shiqiang spoke again:
"My lord, one of the seven detainees in the courtyard over there was seriously injured and died. The other six have been detained separately. They have been tortured several times in the Qing military hall, and they have to be beaten every time before they are willing to speak. Now don’t say what Sanyang sect is, but say that someone paid them to come here, but it shouldn’t be telling the truth!”

Wang Tong nodded and said with a sneer:

"I'm afraid that they will grit their teeth and not say anything about the severe punishment. Don't worry. Did you follow the arrangement?"

"Please rest assured, my lord, the number of people on alert is decreasing every day, and capable and reassuring people are also ready."

"The real guards must not relax. These few survivors are in our hands. The people behind them don't know how to be anxious. Don't let them kill them!"

Speaking of this, someone outside reported that Shen Wang had brought it, Wang Tong and Zhang Shiqiang looked at each other, Zhang Shiqiang hurriedly opened the door and said he was welcome to come in.

Shen Wang walked in wearing a long gown, entered the door, did not go forward, first knelt down respectfully and kowtowed a few times, and said:
"Cao Min is in vain, I have seen Mr. Wang!"

Several people in the room had dealt with Shen Wang before. In the past, Shen Wang's attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing made a deep impression on everyone, but today this kind of respect is rare.

A person's attitude often represents a change in his thinking. As he is doing today, he should be trying to understand something in his heart. Wang Tong smiled, but he didn't let Shen Wang stand up, and asked:
"Shopkeeper Shen, what's the matter, you're in such a hurry to see me!"

"The little one has something important to report..."
