Mingshi

1299 Handover
No, from now on, I will hand over all the power to you, the imperial envoy, and I only hold military power.You are in charge of sitting in town, and I am in charge of suppressing bandits.When the war is over, I will also hand over the general power to you, and I will disarm and return to the field. "

Luo Xin nodded silently.

"But you have to do one thing for me."

"what's up?"

"Military pay."

"Don't worry, there's no problem." Luo Xin nodded and said, "I have also led soldiers, so naturally I know the importance of military pay to the army."

Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Dao with complicated eyes: "At first, I was very worried. After I left, there would be turmoil in the south. After all, those aristocratic families in the south are very difficult to deal with. With me here to suppress them, they dare not act presumptuously. Change it to someone else." , I'm afraid I don't know how these aristocratic families played to death.

But with you sitting here, I feel relieved. "

Luo Xin's eyes sharpened and he said: "It's fine if those aristocratic families are knowledgeable, but if they don't, I don't mind erasing one or two of the aristocratic families."

Hu Zongxian's heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered that Luo Xin had killed the whole family of the Lu family in the south.That ruthlessness directly silenced all the aristocratic families in the south.

"I'm relieved of this!"

Hu Zongxian laughed out loud, with bitterness in his laughter.

At this time, he suddenly understood in his heart!

It's not that Emperor Jiajing can't do without him, it's not that Daming can't do without him, and it's not that Nanfang can't do without him.

With Luo Xin's prestige, he might have done better than him in the south.

It's self-inflated!
He also secretly manipulated the southern officials to jointly write a letter, saying that the south cannot do without him, Hu Zongxian.Thinking about it now, I feel ashamed.

"No way!" He looked at Luo Dao with emotion: "After I hand over the general power to you, you will be in charge of the military and political power in the south. Are you not afraid to follow my old path?"

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head very simply.

"No?" Hu Zongxian said: "Do you think His Majesty will trust you unconditionally? Gao Gong will support you? Xu Jie will let you go?"

"No, you misunderstood." Luo Xin said with a faint smile: "I don't want to sit in the south, and I don't even have the idea of ​​being a term. Whenever His Majesty asks me to return to Beijing, I will return to Beijing immediately."

"You...are you really not in love with power at all?" Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Xin with burning eyes.

"You can't say that." Luo Xin looked at Hu Zongxian with undisguised regret and said, "Brother, even now I still don't understand what you are thinking."

"What do you mean?" Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Xin puzzled.

"Brother, you are not a military general, you are also a Jinshi. You should know that your achievements have reached the highest level in the local area. There is no room for improvement in the local area. So, I thought at the beginning that after the Japanese pirates were wiped out, your gaze You should have looked towards the capital, but you didn't expect that you were thinking about the south of Yongzhen.

Could it be that governing a south is more fulfilling than governing the entire Ming Dynasty? "

Hu Zongxian was silent for a moment, but finally he let out a long sigh:

"I'm different from you. You are the number one scholar, and I'm just a Jinshi. The local officials are already the highest point I can go. It's just an illusion to be a general. If I go back to Beijing, even if I'm allowed to enter the cabinet, it's just to put me in the court." Leave it idle for a few years, and then let me retire."

Luo Xin shook his head in his heart. Through his own analysis, Emperor Jiajing really trained Hu Zongxian as a cabinet, but Hu Zongxian was not patient enough and went astray.

Now that this is the case, what can Luo Xin say?
"Forget it!" Hu Zongxian said with some disinterestedness: "I don't want to think about it so much, I will fight this last battle well, and it can be regarded as a beginning and an end."

"Yeah!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Brother, as long as you fight this last battle well, I will be able to work well. And you are nearly sixty years old, and you have been exhausted in the south all these years. , there is nothing wrong with it."

After Hu Zongxian left, Luo Xin also got busy. The Prime Minister of Southern Government Affairs also had to do logistics for Hu Zongxian, so he only had two hours of sleep a day.

And the most important thing is that Luo Xin's reputation is not correct at this time, he is just an imperial envoy, and there is no intention for him to be the prime minister of southern government affairs.

However, Luo Xin couldn't take care of that much. He knew that only by sorting out the southern government affairs and doing logistics for Hu Zongxian, could Hu Zongxian fight the last battle well. Only when Hu Zongxian fought the last battle well, could he be able to Keep Hu Zongxian.Otherwise, based on the shitty things Hu Zongxian did before, it is not surprising that Emperor Jiajing killed him.

Of course, he also went [-] miles to Emperor Jiajing to expedite the matter, explained the southern affairs in detail, and explained what he was doing at this time in order to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Luo Xin has a very high prestige in the south, and people from the Fuxingshe also have a lot of influence in the southern officialdom, which shows the benefits of Luo Xin's layout in the south. Although there are some people who disagree with Luo Xin, especially Xu The members of the party made Luo Xin's government affairs not so efficient, but they were considered smooth.

Luo also knew in confidence that he was in a very sensitive position at this time.

Whether it's the cabinet or Emperor Jiajing, I absolutely don't want Hu Zongxian to come and another Luo Xin to sit in the south.I am afraid that in their hearts, Luo Xin sitting in the south is more terrifying than Hu Zongxian sitting in the south.

Hu Zongxian was full of problems, and corruption and bribery abounded.

However, Luo Xin did not.

Hu Zongxian has a foundation in the south, and Luo Xin's foundation in the south is not weak.

Moreover, when Hu Zongxian was in the south, he never controlled the Shibo Department.However, who dares to say that Luo Xin did not control the Shibo Division?

Although the Shibo Secretary has changed several times, there is no doubt that no one has ever been able to erase Luo Xin's influence on the Shibo Department.

The most important thing is that Luo Xin is known as the military god of the Ming Dynasty, and his influence in the military is definitely not comparable to that of Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian only had influence over the southern army.

But what about Luo Xin?

Has a lot of influence on the army in the south, don't believe it.Even though Hu Zongxian was in the southeast, Yu Dayou also switched to Luo Xin, and Qi Jiguang had long been like-minded with Luo Xin, so Hu Zongxian deprived Qi Jiguang of his military power before.

Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang are the two most capable armies under Hu Zongxian!

When Hu Zongxian was in control of the south, Luo Xin was able to control these two armies, which shows Luo Xin's influence in the military.

This is not a big deal, besides the south, Luo Xin has greater influence in the north, and even has a decisive influence on the Fifth Army Battalion in the capital.

This is so scary!

If such a person is allowed to sit in the south and control hundreds of thousands of troops, once there is a dissent, who can stop it?
