In the Qianqing Palace in the imperial city, Emperor Zhu Youjian looked at the two memorials with an angry look on his face.
The first memorial came from Luo Zhending, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin. It said that Li Zhi, a guerrilla in Fanjiazhuang, hid Dongnu Xizuo and refused to be searched by the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief led his troops to arrest Xizuo, but the guerrilla Li Zhi rebelled brazenly for Dongnu Xizuo. He led his servants to attack the General Soldier, killing and wounding 500 people in the General Barracks, and also killed a senior staff member of the General Soldier.
Luo Zhending said that if a rebel like Li Zhi is left alone, how can he know his father?
The second memorial came from the guerrilla Li Zhi in Fanjiazhuang, Tianjin. It was Li Zhi's self-defense memorial. The memorial said that Luo Zhending, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, coveted Li Zhi's private property of the glass workshop and used the inspection details as a way to find out the secret recipe. , was discovered by Li Zhi. However, Luo Zhending relied on his power to forcibly search and rob Li Zhi's secret recipe. Li Zhi had no choice but to temporarily repel Luo Zhending and explain the cause of the matter to the court.
Li Zhi said that all his private property income was used to hire four thousand servants to serve the court. Everything he did was forced by Luo Zhending. His loyalty was known and he would never rebel or conspire against him.
Zhu Youjian placed the two memorials on the imperial case and said loudly: "You really don't want me to be clean!"
Wang Chengen came to Zhu Youjian's side, looked at the memorial, and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this guerrilla Li Zhi the one who killed Yang Guli in formation?"
Zhu Youjian nodded and said: "I am not a Mengtong, how can I be so deceived? This Li Zhizhen killed Yang Guli, how could he collect Dongnu's fine works? This is the reason Luo Zhending made up because of his property. Now I am Ming Dynasty The war is raging. Li Zhi is a rare talent who can fight and dare to fight. He cannot be easily forced to rebel by these treacherous ministers!" After a pause, Zhu Youjian said again: "Li Zhi is so brave. If he really rebelled out of fear of crime and fear at this time, he would not be able to resist. I know how many armies will be mobilized to suppress them, and how much money will be spent on the treasury."
Wang Chengen looked at the memorial and said: "A guerrilla defeated the general army. Your Majesty, the combat power of Li Zhi's troops is amazing!"
Zhu Youjian said again: "This Li Zhi is so brave! Last time he captured and beheaded 1,500 Dong Nu! He has four thousand servants who are good at fighting. If Li Zhi really rebels out of fear now, how many soldiers and horses will I mobilize? How can we seek peace? All the soldiers and horses in Tianjin are busy with this matter. I wonder how much money it will cost?"
Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, you are wise! If you call the Minister of Rites to ask, you will know, right?"
Zhu Youjian said: "It has only been a few days since He Shishou left Tianjin? Such a thing happened in Tianjin before the new governor took office. How did He Shishou become the governor in Tianjin? He Shishou!"
Wang Chengen hurriedly shouted to the young eunuch outside: "Send the Minister of Rites to congratulate the world's longevity saint!"
An hour later, He Shishou jogged into the Qianqing Palace.
He Shishou also heard about the matter between Li Zhi and Luo Zhending. He did not expect that Luo Zhending would not give him face. Luo Zhending got angry just two days after he left. Making such a big noise was a discredit for himself! This is Do you think it would be a waste to become a Beijing official? He Shishou was already very dissatisfied with Luo Zhending.
When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, He Shishou saw the emperor with an angry face. He secretly thought something was wrong and quickly knelt on the ground to salute.
Zhu Youjian waited for He Shishou to get up and said coldly: "He Shishou, Tianjin is so peaceful under your control!"
He Shishou cupped his hands and said, "I am guilty!"
Seeing that He Shishou was so good at admitting his mistake, Zhu Youjian calmed down, grabbed the memorial on the table and asked: "He Shishou, tell me, if Li Zhi really rebels, and all the troops in Tianjin are devoted to suppressing the rebellion, how long will it take to bring peace?
"
He Shishou gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty Shengming! I'm afraid Tianjin's soldiers and horses are no match for Li Zhi. We need to mobilize the soldiers and horses from Jiubian to suppress him!"
Hearing He Shishou's words, Zhu Youjian was stunned.
Zhu Youjian was still thinking before that if Li Zhi really rebelled, he would have to replenish Tianjin's troops with a large amount of money - Tianjin's troops were not in Jiubian, and Taiping had been in arrears of pay for many years. Once the army was mobilized
To attack Li Zhi, one would definitely need to make up for many years of back pay. This was a large amount of money, which could cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels.
The Ministry of Household Affairs is now unable to make ends meet. Where can Zhu Youjian find so much money?
However, He Shishou said that all the soldiers and horses in Tianjin Town could not defeat Li Zhi, and they wanted to mobilize the soldiers and horses from nine sides. What is the concept? The Ming Dynasty is currently at war, with slaves in the north and bandits in the Central Plains, and the military strength is already to capture Jin.
It's obvious, but for the sake of Li Zhi, if the border troops are mobilized, can Guan Ning still be on guard? Can he still suppress the bandits?
For the sake of Li Zhi, the already precarious situation of the Ming Dynasty will be accelerated and worsened!
Zhu Youjian sat on the throne and said sarcastically: "Li Zhi is so brave?"
He Shishou cupped his hands and said: "Li Zhi used his private property to support a strong army. He had four thousand servants, equipped with firecrackers and cannons. The ordinary guardsmen were no match for him. I heard that Luo Zhending's general barracks was against Li Zhi's two thousand servants.
He collapsed after just one encounter. Your Majesty, at this critical moment, don’t let Li Zhi rebel in fear. Chengyi Youzhao comforts Li Zhi and stabilizes him first!”
Zhu Youjian took a breath and said nothing.
With a snap, Zhu Youjian slapped the memorial in his hand on the imperial case, and said fiercely: "This Luo Zhending is a dignified general soldier. When he encountered Li Zhi's soldiers and horses, they collapsed at the first touch. I don't know how many soldiers' blood he ate? Like this
What’s the use of a military attaché?”
"For his own personal gain, he almost missed my important event!"
"Quickly pass my message to Li Zhi: tell him not to worry, I know his loyalty!"
Zhu Youjian said loudly: "Wang Cheng'en, you wrote clearly on the red notice that Luo Zhending forced loyal ministers to rebel with evil intentions! Luo Zhending will be dismissed immediately and investigated! He will be escorted to Beijing!"
The gate of the General Military Mansion in the north of Tianjin Acropolis was crowded with onlookers. Many of these onlookers were wearing official robes. Everyone crowded around a group of royal cavalrymen in royal robes, facing the tall man in the middle of the cavalry.
The prison car pointed.
Li Zhi, his younger brother Li Xing, and several battalion commanders also stood in front of the crowd. Li Zhi was wearing a royal flying fish suit and a royal jade belt around his waist. He had such an imposing manner that the crowd around him did not dare to squeeze against him.
Surrounding Li Zhi were some senior military attachés from Tianjin. They seemed to be very fond of Li Zhi, and they all had smiles on their faces when talking to Li Zhi.
Standing next to Li Zhi was Luo Lizong, a guerrilla from the Chunban camp. He smiled and said to Li Zhi: "I didn't expect that Luo Zhending's plan was so clever that it ended up like this!"
Next to him, Lu Da, the newly appointed Tianjin Xiadong Road Commander, said: "The loyalty of the guerrilla generals can be learned. The emperor is aware of everything and will definitely see clearly Luo Zhending's conspiracy!"
Li Zhi proudly raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the capital to the west, and said loudly: "The emperor has passed down an oral edict to me, saying, 'Don't worry, I know your loyalty!'"
Several military officers around him sighed in unison: "The Emperor is a wise man!"
