Daiyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Second sister-in-law, if she wants to take action, she must do it as soon as possible. By the way, that Second Grandma Ye is actually a rich person: although the dowry was deducted from the government, she got it from you last time
As a reminder, the things in the dowry and the personal belongings of the Ye family that were privately kept were folded into gold and stored in the Shuangmu Bank run by the Ministry of Household Affairs, which amounted to two thousand taels of gold. What’s more, my father said
, his disciple, Old Master Zhou, said that he wanted to teach the Four Books, but I'm afraid that my brother and the others will not be able to have as much leisure as before, and they will have to live in our house forever, and go back again in seven or eight days."
Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat and she quickly stood up: "I'll go back immediately to take care of their rituals, and I'll send them here tomorrow."
Daiyu nodded, her expression very calm.
Even when he was teasing his children, there was no such relaxed smile on his face.
Sister Feng hurriedly said hello and went home, feeling frightened and uneasy.
Daiyu sighed in her heart, and went into more detail in her letter to Lin Zhao.
However, after Lin Zhao received the letter, he did not read it immediately, but put it down casually.
Because he received Guo Zhenlu's letter.
Guo Zhenlu stayed with the Miao people in Yunnan and Guizhou for three years. He led eight hundred tiger soldiers to burn, kill and loot, which greatly reduced the population of the Miao people and completely frightened their ambitions. The Miao people did not dare to cry at night after hearing the name of Guo Zhenlu.
.
Guo Zhenlu himself was also named Xincheng Bo for his meritorious service, but at the same time he was also involved in court battles.
The Da and Xiao Jinchuan Rivers connect Garze and Kangzang to the west, connect the Chengdu Plain to the east and enter Hanchuan County, the throat of the Western Sichuan Plateau. They are one of the main routes from Jiarong Tibetan Area to Han areas. They connect Ya'an area to the south, leading directly to the inland, and western Sichuan to the north.
The plateau is connected to Qinghai and Gansu. It is the throat and bridge area from the mainland to Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu and other Tibetan areas. It can reach far away from Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu and other Tibetan areas. Therefore, its geographical location and strategic position are extremely important.
But places like this are now occupied by the Jinchuan chieftains of all sizes.
Emperor Xiaode believed that to govern Tibet, we must first govern Sichuan, so that all superiors in Sichuan can live in peace, and only then can the Sichuan-Tibet Highway be unobstructed. Therefore, he has always paid more attention to this area.
However, the chieftain of Xiaojinchuan, Seng Gesang, and the chieftain of Dajinchuan, Sonomu, were accustomed to being local emperors who used their power for their own purposes. They were also ambitious, and they were born to sit back and watch the sky.
At this time, the local officials and soldiers were weak and cowardly and had no strength at all. The powerful Han people were too scattered to form a joint force, not to mention that there were still some powerful Han people who instigated these chieftains to cause trouble all day long.
Now in the ninth year of Xiaode, the two chieftains started to make trouble. The so-called trouble meant burning, killing, looting, and the powerful chiefs of various ethnic groups in the southwest followed to take advantage of the situation. The Han people were powerful and fished in troubled waters, and things gradually became serious.
But Jinchuan is a little different. Many of the surrounding prefectures and counties are also governed by native officials. To put it bluntly, they are all tribal chiefs, large and small. Their families kill each other. The court is happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but these two chieftains
While expanding his territory, he sent people to the government to plead for mercy and repent, saying that he was willing to pay for his own sins.
At first, the court thought that he was repentant, and the local officials wanted to be polite, so they were prepared to be vague. However, after several times of this, everyone was not a fool, and they understood what they were going to do.
What's more, Emperor Xiaode was also a man of great talent and strategy. He saw the problem from thousands of trivial memorials and strictly ordered the local government to deal with it as soon as possible and restore the situation as soon as possible.
So the local government began to take action.
In the past, the local officials pretended to be confused because they were afraid of trouble. There was a barren land on the left and right, and they were all from the Miao tribe. They could kill and kill as they pleased, as long as they had a sense of proportion. But this time they didn't know how to restrain themselves, and even tried to
We cannot sit idly by when the prefectures and counties where the Han people live start killing officials and gentry.
The local officials around Jinchuan and Jinchuan also knew that the Sichuan officers and soldiers were too weak to fight. If they hurriedly mobilized troops and horses to exterminate them, they were defeated by the chieftains on the plateau and the army collapsed. Not to mention that the Jinchuan army had obtained the supplies and weapons of the officers and soldiers, and the prisoners would be gathered.
With the surge in power, the fluctuation of people's hearts is a fatal problem.
At present, the chaos in Jinchuan and Jinchuan has not yet spread. The local government can tell the superiors that they are slowly preparing to suffer a huge defeat and those responsible will be sent to prison.
By chance, Guo Zhenlu defeated the Yungui Miao people and had 800 elite soldiers in his hands, all of whom were familiar with mountain warfare, so the officials turned their attention to him.
But although Guo Zhenlu was a general and had thousands of soldiers under his command, the real elite were those 800 men.
The terrain of Jinchuan and Jinchuan is difficult, and the combat power of Jinchuan soldiers is quite strong. This requires sufficient margin. In other words, the greater the certainty, the better. The greater the "certainty", the governor of Sichuan and Sichuan and the governor of Sichuan and Sichuan all know it.
, there are not a hundred thousand soldiers with enough food for a year, so we must not move lightly.
Therefore, Guo Zhenlu's troops were insufficient.
He didn't want to be dragged down by those Sichuan soldiers, so he wrote to his old friend Lin Zhao.
At the same time, a friend of the Governor of Sichuan and Shu in the capital wrote a letter. The letter was quite straightforward. At first it only listed several battles from Guihua City to the Western Regions and Hei Liao.
Originally, everyone was killing normally, but because of the intervention of the Jin Yiwei, the battle suddenly went smoothly. Several battles took less than a month, and less than 100,000 troops were mobilized. All of them were complete victories over Tuojiang. If an internal force like Xiao Jinchuan
It will take such a long time to rebel. If someone mentions it in the future, it will be regarded as evidence of incompetence and impeachment.
Seeing this letter, the Governor of Sichuan and Shu was quite helpless. To be fair, his preparations were quite satisfactory. No matter who he was, he must be judged as mature and prudent. However, what was said in the letter was also true. The intervention of Jin Yiwei made the victory in the north too difficult.
It's so brilliant, but by comparison, the rest of it is really indescribable.
The Jin Yiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers and the emperor's steel sword. When they go everywhere, they are effectively controlled by the emperor. Civil servants will have much less say in the local area. For example, the local commercial tax in Guihua City is originally
Almost nothing. Since the Jin Yiwei took over Guihua City in large numbers, the palace has also sent tax supervisors, either ruthlessly exploiting and extorting, or collecting taxes according to the rules.
In front of the sword, the local officials and gentry lost the courage to play tricks on the internal officials. They all paid their taxes obediently. The consequences of failure to pay were bloody, and everyone has seen it.
The Governor of Sichuan and Shu knew that the cabinet appointed him here to avoid the interference of the Jinyiwei system. But in such a situation, why should he bear the responsibility? Not only would he become a laughing stock, but he might also be criticized by his political opponents.
excuse.
After all, those who can become governors all want to make progress. If their political opponents say they are incompetent, then the gain outweighs the loss.
What really made him decide was the actions of the merchants from Sichuan and Huguang. The merchants flocked to Songjiang in February. He naturally knew that there were merchants among them who were related to him. Needless to say, even the merchants
I don't care about taxes. Baba used to have a royal clothing system, so why should I incur sin here?
Invite the Jin Yiwei to come in and participate in the extermination. If you win, the governor will also get a share of the credit. If you lose, you don't have to worry about taking the main responsibility.
So he also asked Guo Zhenlu to write a letter to Lin Zhao.
After receiving the letter, Lin Zhao laughed and wrote a private letter to Emperor Xiaode, and at the same time sent a notice to the Jinyiwei Yamen.
So everything started to work, and the five thousand elite Jinyiwei from Guihua City who had undergone strict training got ready and set off for Sichuan.
Among them, the name of Jia Huan, a member of Jinyiwei's 100 households, is prominently listed.
But Jia Huan did not go to Sichuan and Sichuan. When he was in Guanzhong, he received a notice from the Jinyiwei Yamen and ordered him to go home for an indefinite vacation.
Jia Huan returned home inexplicably. At this time, Sister Feng had not seen Sister Qiao and others coming to greet her for more than ten days, and she was in a state of panic.
Tanchun also stayed peacefully in Aunt Zhao's room every day. It had been several days since she went to greet Mrs. Wang.
Even Jia Mu also lost a bit of laughter.
Only Jia She and his wife, Jia Zheng and his wife seemed to have noticed nothing and still did not care about trivial matters in the house.
Until this day, Prince Zhongshun came with the Dragon Guards!
Jia Mu was vaguely aware of it in her heart. The reason why she did not move was that she decided to hold back after tossing and turning and careful consideration. Therefore, when she saw Prince Zhongshun leading his troops to the door, Jia Mu was rarely frightened. She just asked Zhongshun.
For your own sake, the prince wants to leave some dignity to the female relatives and grandchildren in the house, and let them all gather in his upper courtyard.
This request was nothing more than a small request. In view of the fact that there were so many noble relatives in the Jia family, Prince Zhongshun naturally agreed.
