Mingshi

Chapter 1311 Preparation
Nanjing is a very special place. The original capital of the Ming Dynasty was in Nanjing. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he moved the imperial capital to Beijing.

However, Nanjing's official system is still there, just like Beijing.Although it is also under the jurisdiction of the Southern Economic Strategy in name, in reality, no one wants to touch Nanjing, a special place.

Hu Zongxian made it clear at the beginning that he didn't care about the Nanjing army, and Xu Pengju refused to accept Hu Zongxian's control.Hu Zongxian has nothing to do with Xu Pengju, not to mention Hu Zongxian, even Emperor Jiajing, as long as Xu Pengju, the descendants of the founding fathers, does not make too much noise, Emperor Jiajing will turn a blind eye.

Those civil servants are arrogant in front of military generals all day long, but they also maintain respect in front of these founding fathers, because these people are really tough, and they followed the Taizu to conquer the country. They don't want to talk to you. Reasonable, let the civil servants have a headache.

Therefore, at the time of disarmament, Emperor Jiajing and Luo Xin had a discussion, and they both threw the Nanjing army out first, and waited for the army in the guard to be cut, so that a good influence would be created and let those soldiers listen Seeing the benefits, I felt envious. At that time, laying off the Nanjing army would be a matter of course.

Even after Luo Xin explored the south, he consciously avoided Nanjing.Who knew something would happen in Nanjing!
"How's the situation?" Luo Xin asked, looking at Jin Yiwei who escaped from Nanjing to deliver the letter.

"The rebel army has broken through Nanjing, but not the inner city."

Luo Xin breathed a sigh of relief and did not break through the inner city, which meant that those officials should be fine. This was not because Luo Xin underestimated the people, but because it was a rule in Daming that killing some people was not a big problem, but killing a few officials was a big deal.

However, when Luo Xin thought of those people in the outer city, his body was covered in sweat.He took a deep breath and said:
"How about the people in the outer city?"

"It was not harassed by the rebel army."

There is no harassment at all, this can't help but surprise Luo Xin, when did the chaos army have such qualities?
"That's not true." The guard in Jinyi shook his head and said, "It's because these soldiers are from Nanjing, so it's not easy to attack the folks."

Luo Xin fell into deep thought, while Yu Dayou and Luo Zhi sat aside, anxious expressions appeared on their faces.

"No weapon..."

Luo Xin waved his hand, telling the Jin Yiwei to step back first, then frowned and thought again, Luo Zhi and Yu Dayou looked at each other, the two of them were a little puzzled, Nanjing was in chaos, at this moment, what is there to think about?

Send troops quickly!
"Lord Luo..."

"What do you think?" Luo Xin suddenly asked Yu Dayou.

"What do you think?" Yu Dayou was a little puzzled.

"What do you think of this military chaos?" Luo Xin looked at Yu Dayou a little speechless.

Yu Dayou blushed and said: "These days, we only pay attention to the military pay to Hu Butang, and ignore Nanjing. The soldiers live on the pay, without the pay, rebellion...

Do not!
This is not considered a rebellion, it is only a noise, and it is not surprising. We should lead our troops to suppress this moment as soon as possible. "

"Are we rich?"

"no!"

"Then what do we use to solve it? Are we really leading troops to destroy them?"

"Destroyed?" Yu Dayou's expression changed: "That's 10 people. We don't have that many soldiers now. They are all in Guangdong and Jiangxi."

"Don't you have three thousand cavalry?"

"Three thousand..." Yu Dayou opened his mouth wide: "Nanjing is one hundred thousand..."

"It's no big deal. I brought 2000 people and dared to kick Alatan Khan's 20 battalion."

"Oh..." Yu Dayou's expression froze.

"It's just that this matter is not that simple." Luo Xin frowned and thought.

"Not easy?" Yu Dayou said in astonishment.

"En!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "The food and salary of the Nanjing Nine Guards is directly transferred from the Nanjing garrison. It has not been released for a month, and it is not enough to cause such a big incident. If there is no one behind this incident, it is unreasonable."

"What do you mean, sir?"

Luo Xin showed a smile on his face and said: "Some people just want to take advantage of the current chaos in the south, so why can't I take advantage of it?"

"Daqing!"

"Master!" Lu Daqing walked in.

"You remember making gunpowder recipes?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Okay, let's buy as many materials as possible. In the next three days, we will make some firearms."

"Me!" Lu Daqing retreated.

"Lord Luo, you... really want to fight?"

"Not necessarily!" Luo Xin shook his head and fell into deep thought again.

"My lord, my lord..."

"Huh?" Luo Xin looked at Yu Dayou.

"You just said that someone took advantage of the chaos in the south..."

"That's just my speculation."

"Then... can you tell me?" Yu Dayou looked at Luo Xin expectantly.

Luo Xin smiled: "Of course, just don't say it."

"I understand!" Yu Dayou said seriously, "I am a soldier."

Luo Xin also nodded, as a general, confidentiality is the most basic principle.Luo Xin organized the language and said:
"On the surface, this incident seems to be to make a noise, but in fact it is not. Military salary is just a trivial matter for them, and they ask for a lot."

"who are they?"

"All the officers and soldiers in Nanjing!" Luo Xin sighed and said, "Only Hu Butang's people in the southern army can still fight. The others are really rotten, rotten to the root."

"The entire officers and soldiers?" Yu Dayou asked in surprise.

"En!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "It can be said that they are of one mind, although their demands are different."

"Aren't they for the military salary?" Yu Dayou still muttered in a low voice in disbelief.

Luo Xin shook his head, with disappointment in his eyes, and said: "Even for those ordinary soldiers, their appeals are not simply making noise!"

"Then... what else do they want?"

"Never disarm!" Luo Xin said word by word.

Yu Dayou opened his mouth, his face full of shock.

"After people arrived in Nanjing, one of the conditions put forward by those noisy soldiers must be that they never disarm, otherwise they would not withdraw to the camp.

but……"

Luo Xin stared at Yu Dayou with burning eyes and said, "Can I agree?"

Yu Dayou was silent. In fact, even he could see that after the Southern Guards moved north, once it was completely stabilized, the imperial court would definitely disarm the Nanjing Nine Guards.

"My lord, I heard that those soldiers who were laid off from the Southern Guard were allotted a hundred acres of fertile land in the north?"

"Yeah!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "And the imperial court also gave them severance pay, just the amount of severance pay is enough for them to build a house."
