Mingshi

Chapter 1268
However, it can be said that the entire southeast is in the hands of Luo Xin, so Luo Xin is not afraid that the Shibo Department will return to Xu Jie in name.Moreover, Emperor Jiajing was not a fool, and it was impossible for Luo Xin to control the two lifelines of Northern Mutual Market and Southern Shibosi.And Luo Xin will not fight for that nominal position, even if Xu Jie falls in the future, Luo Xin will not fight for that position with Gao Gong.

Moreover, in the seven southern and northern sixty-thirteen provinces, although the members of Fuxingshe are not high-ranking officials now, they also occupy the backbone of the locality.Moreover, even some high-ranking local officials defected to Luo Xin, making Luo Xin's power grow steadily.

Only in the capital, Luo Xin's management is worse, because Luo Xin spends too little time in the capital.

However, even so, Luo Xin has now completely controlled the Zhanshi Mansion, and basically controlled the Hanlin Academy, while the control of the Ministry of Rites is much weaker.As for other departments, there is almost no control.

"Now is a good opportunity!"

But who should come back, and how many?

This not only has to consider the abilities of his brothers and their current status, but also whether Emperor Jiajing agrees.

In the end, Luo Xin was going to let Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun come back. Although these two people's abilities are not top-notch, they are also among the best, and the most important thing is that these two people are his childhood friends, the ones he trusts the most. people.

It is only possible to mobilize these two people, and now it is completely impossible to mobilize through Gao Gong and Xu Jie.It's good that these two people don't get in the way.Therefore, if Luo Xin wanted to mobilize Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun, he had to report directly to Emperor Jiajing and let Emperor Jiajing appoint them.

Would Emperor Jiajing not know that Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun belonged to Luo Xin?

Will definitely know!

So Luo Xin naturally did not dare to propose more quotas, and it is not possible to only need two people, but to ask for more people, and the remaining quotas will be handed over to Emperor Jiajing, so that he can gain the trust of Emperor Jiajing, and successfully recruit Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun. Call back.

With an idea in mind, the next day, Luo Xin did not go to the Ministry of Rites, but went to the palace first to meet Emperor Jiajing.

"Have you got an idea?" Seeing Luo Xin coming to see him early in the morning, Emperor Jiajing said with anticipation in his eyes.

Luo Xin looked around, and Emperor Jiajing waved his hand at Huang Jin.Huang Jin threw all the eunuchs out of the imperial study room, then he closed the door of the imperial study room and stood there himself.

"I have an idea!" Luo Xin said softly.

"Oh?" Emperor Jiajing raised his expression and said, "Tell me about it."

Luo Xin nodded, and then said seriously: "However, if His Majesty thinks this plan is feasible, only His Majesty and ministers will know. Once the secret is leaked, it may cause chaos."

"Well, I understand."

"Your Majesty, the south is now densely populated, and the southern guard has the most soldiers, there is no land for them at all.

However, in the past few years of continuous wars in the north, they were massacred twice by Alatan Khan and Huang Taiji. Killed, sold their fields and fled to the south.Therefore, there is a large amount of land in the north, and it is unowned land, which has been left unused for many years. "

"What do you mean?" Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up.

"Take all the people laid off by the Southern Guards to the north, and give them fields. With the land, they will have no complaints, and they will probably be very happy. I am grateful to Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly, his eyes shining with joy.But then he looked serious again and said:
"However, these people have lived in the south for a long time. Are they willing to come to the north?"

"If we go to the south and tell those people like this, they will definitely not want it! Who knows, if they go to the north, the court will give them fields. And no one wants to leave their hometown, even if he has a miserable life in his hometown."

"Yes!" Emperor Jiajing nodded and said, "Then what can you do?"

"Take two steps!" Luo Xin said softly: "The first step is that His Majesty needs to give me six copies of the imperial decree."

"Six imperial edicts?" Emperor Jiajing's eyes widened.

"En!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "The contents of these six imperial decrees are the same. When the time comes, you minister, Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Dashou, Tao Dalin, Chen Jin and Wen Yinglu will each hold a copy. We will divide into six directions and head to the south. six provinces.

These days, Jin Yiwei has collected crimes of corruption of ink by military officials above the small banner of the guards of the six southern provinces.The evidence of the crime is true, and according to the laws of Ming Dynasty, all of them can be sentenced to beheading.

These people cheated, embezzled and accepted bribes openly, and even disregarded human lives, killing them, no one was wrong. "

"The first step is to let us go to the six southern provinces with His Majesty's decree, use the pretext of invading the northern grasslands and mobilizing the troops of the guards to fight in the north, and kill all the people who deserve to be killed first. The rest Those ordinary soldiers without the military attache will lose their backbone, and they will not be able to fight back. It can guarantee that we will bring the 10,000+ soldiers of the Southern Guard Seven to the south safely."

"Are you asking me to issue a military edict?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "So keep it secret."

Emperor Jiajing nodded. Naturally, this news cannot be disclosed, and he also knew that he had been fighting for power with the family all his life.Since Yan Song's downfall, although Emperor Jiajing's idea was Yan Song's downfall, Emperor Jiajing also felt that as he got old, those aristocratic families were ready to move again. In the process of dealing with Yan Song, he had to admit that Emperor Jiajing was affected by the family persecution.

Therefore, confidentiality is a must.

"Luo Xin, it's not easy to keep this matter a secret! I'm afraid that within a few moments after you leave Beijing, the contents of the imperial decree will be known to the cabinet. Once the cabinet knows it, everyone who should know it will know it too.

With the wisdom of those aristocratic families, I am afraid that if you think about it carefully, you will come up with the truth.After all, the north is still very safe, and the exchange market is open. "

Luo Xin also frowned and thought for a moment, "Then it means that Goryeo sent troops again. Your Majesty gave me a secret decree. I asked someone to take me to see Ma Fang and ask Ma Fang to cooperate with us. We don't need long time, as long as we send It’s all right if the guards’ soldiers are pulled out from the south. They’re already on the road, so there’s nothing left for them.”

"What about the second step?"

"In the second step, after the guard soldiers were brought to the north, they were given a field of one hundred acres each. This was definitely a huge surprise for them. They would no longer complain, they would only be happy.

Then let them write a letter home, and put everyone's token in the letter home.Then select a small number of soldiers, just two from each guard, and then immediately draw out the 35 northern guard soldiers at the border and tell them that they will not be dismissed.And [-] of them will stay in the South.

Let these 35 people return to the south with letters and tokens, plus two people from each guard station in the south.

The family members of the soldiers in the southern guards will believe them when they see the letters and tokens, and there are two familiar people from each guard who follow them back, and then organize those families to move to the north.

In this way, the disarmament of the guard can come to an end. "
