Chapter 186 The Handle! Ridiculous Trick!
"Of course, you can also commit suicide!"
Tang Hao reminded with a smile.
"But if you die, I will kill all nine of your clans!"
"So, it's best to cooperate, understand?"
When Bian Xiong heard this, he was stunned.
Immediately there was a burst of swearing, and the fear from the heart was constantly devouring him.
He couldn't die. If he died, Tang Hao, a lunatic, would definitely kill all nine of his own clans.
But after a few days of survival, he will be skinned and killed by this lunatic in public!
Moreover, the descendants of his Bian Xiong, whose men were slaves and women who were prostitutes, have to suffer for generations. This is simply more despairing than killing them!
At this time, there was a sudden movement outside Bian Xiong's mansion, and then Mou Bin, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, hurriedly walked in.
The moment Mou Bin saw Tang Hao, his heart suddenly lifted.
"Hey, Tishuai is here?"
"What? Tishuai, don't tell me, this guy is yours, right?"
Tang Hao asked with a smile, his murderous look made Mou Bin wave his hands in fright.
"Ahem, Tang Hou, please don't misunderstand me!"
"I am here under the orders of His Majesty to control the officials of the Third Division to prevent them from stabbing the rebels in the back when Tang Hou is quelling the rebels!"
Hearing this, Tang Hao suddenly felt warm in his heart.
The little emperor really had nothing to say to him, and this affection was enough to make people moved.
"Things are almost settled."
Tang Hao also restrained his murderous intent and looked at Mou Bin kindly.
"After the rebellion in Qingzhou was put down, I led my army to Jinan Mansion. I happened to see the three giants plotting. One of them didn't hold back his temper and captured it directly."
Mou Bin was so frightened that he couldn't hide the shock on his face.
Is the rebellion put down now?
How fucking long has it been?
Normally, to suppress a local rebellion like this would take at least a month from dispatching troops to annihilating it, right?
Counting the fact that the court got the news and then Mou Bin came with his Tiqi, it took about a month!
But within this month, Tang Hao not only put down the rebellion, but also killed Jinan Mansion. How did he do it?
"Tishuai!"
As soon as Bian Xiong saw Mou Bin coming, he immediately shouted excitedly.
"Tishuai, help me!"
"This thief Tang Hao abused his power and killed innocent people indiscriminately!"
"Tishuai will capture him immediately to restore peace to Shandong!"
Bian Xiong shouted with hope, he regarded Tishuai Moubin as his last hope for survival.
Mou Bin frowned when he heard this, and then looked at Tang Hao.
"Tang Hou, can I kill him?"
"It's so damn annoying to keep squealing!"
Tang Hao shook his head, "No, I will chop him alive in public!"
Bian Xiong: "???"
you?
Tishuai?
Why?
Why is even Jin Yiwei one of Tang Hao's people?
At this moment, Bian Xiong fell into despair!
"Tishuai came just in time, I have some things for you to do!"
Tang Hao reached out and wiped the blood on Mou Bin, which immediately aroused the disgust on Master Tishuai's face.
Don’t you have any clothes yourself?
What a weird habit!
"Act as ordered, but Marquis Tang says it doesn't matter."
It happened that at this time, Tang Mu escorted Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong out of the room.
"Master Hou, this is the list written by the two of them!"
Tang Hao took it and took a look. Comparing the two, there was basically no difference. Maybe only one or two names were different.
Huang Xingfu had been observing Tang Hao's face. After confirming that he was satisfied with the list, his heart dropped into his stomach.
He is not stupid. How could he believe what Tang Hao said before? He already had a list of those who colluded with Japanese pirates!
Since Tang Hao came to Shandong, he was either preparing for the Japanese capital or going to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion. He had no time to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to have a list. What he said before was just to deceive the two of him.
Thanks to the tacit understanding between colleagues Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong who have worked together for many years, they only need one look to understand each other's meaning and complete the exchange of opinions.
These two lists are actually fake. They are just some scapegoats that the two of them chose casually to avoid the important and the trivial.
Mou Bin also looked at the two lists and immediately suggested: "Marquis Tang, I will lead Tiqi to break down the house and ransack the house!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But just when they thought they were fooled, an accident happened.
Zuo Yidao rushed over at this time, holding two account books in his hand.
He arrived at Jinan Mansion one step ahead of Tang Hao. Instead of alerting the enemy, he secretly monitored the three local giants.
The task given to him by Tang Hao was these two account books.
Smarter corrupt officials all have a good habit of writing an account book by themselves, which is a network for conveying their profits in case of future emergencies. If something really goes wrong, they can use this account book as a trump card. , as their life-saving means!
But now, this account book has become Tang Hao's trump card.
Zuo Yidao handed two thick account books to Tang Hao.
"Master Hou, fortunately you have lived up to your fate!"
"These two bitches are also cunning, one is more cunning than the other!"
"This account book of Huang Xingfu was found from the soft couch of the carriage he usually rides in!"
"As for Zhu Maogong's account book, he kept a beautiful concubine in a manor outside the city. I finally got it from her after interrogating her!"
After these words came out, Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong collapsed to the ground instantly, without a trace of blood on their faces.
It's over!
Everything is over!
"A beautiful concubine?"
"How did you interrogate her?"
Mou Bin frowned and looked at Zuo Yidao, asking coldly.
With this sentence, he messed up everyone.
It seems that you are also writing different points of attention!
Zuo Yidao rolled his eyes and chose to ignore the guy.
Tang Hao glared at this guy unhappily, then opened the account book and checked it carefully.
Compared with these two thick account books, the list written by Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong before was simply a joke.
Tang Hao looked at the two meaningfully, with a helpless expression.
"I've given you a chance."
"But you don't seem to know how to cherish it!"
"Why do you have to play these little tricks?"
Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong were so scared that they trembled and couldn't even speak clearly.
Tang Hao waved his hand and temporarily detained the three giants.
Next, the highlight is here.
"General Ti, take your Ti cavalry and arrest all the officials in Shandong Province!"
"Yidao Tangmu, take the soldiers to search the houses. You two will each have one book, and each will be responsible for two or three prefectures. If there is anyone on this account book, we will search all the houses and arrest people!"
When these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Mou Bin took a deep breath and asked tentatively: "Marquis Tang, if we do this... the court..."
"Don't worry!" Tang Hao chuckled: "Your Majesty will be under pressure, but not too much, because I sent a key witness, Gao Lu, to Your Majesty!"
"This time, we are the ones who have the righteous cause!"
"This time, the unlucky ones are these gentry!"
"This time, if I don't hurt these gentry, I will be sorry for the innocent people who died tragically, and sorry for their souls in heaven!"
Tang Hao turned around with his hands behind his back and ordered in a cold voice.
"Do it now!"
"Shandong will be your majesty's Shandong in the future, not the Shandong of these gentry!"
When Mou Bin, Tang Mu and Zuo Yidao heard this, they stopped hesitating and led their troops away immediately.
But before Mou Bin left, he handed Tang Hao a secret letter.
The secret letter was written by Chen Kuan, but in the tone of the little emperor.
"Wild man, I'll let Mou Bin come to help you, just don't worry about suppressing the rebellion."
"Wild man, the eunuch made a good suggestion. After you suppress the rebellion, clean up the entire Shandong garrison and see if your method of training soldiers can be promoted!"
"Wild man, if this method can really work, then we can train soldiers in Shandong, but money and food are a problem, and we have to reform the garrison accordingly. I estimate that there will be considerable resistance in the court. You should think about it as soon as possible and write back to me, and take this opportunity to finalize this matter..."
"By the way, wild man, I like your book "Imperial Mirror Illustrations" very much. I have also prepared a small gift for you. You will know when you return to Beijing!"
"Finally, wild man, you must remember that your safety is the most important thing. No matter what happens, you must not take risks easily. I am waiting for your triumphant return in the capital!"
After reading word by word, Tang Hao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Heh, little brat, you even know how to write a letter!"
Muttering to himself, but honestly, Tang Hao put the secret letter into his arms and kept it close to his body, then began to think about Chen Kuan's suggestion.
Chen Kuan did this to help the young emperor to gather military power.
Military power does not only belong to the imperial guards and the Beijing army, but also to the garrison troops all over the world.
Garrisons have been corrupted by corruption and corvée, and the garrison soldiers have generally become farmers and serfs, with no combat effectiveness at all.
The only ones who may still maintain combat effectiveness are the trusted and direct soldiers of the garrison officers who spend money to support them. Most of the others have become farmers and serfs, and they work in the fields all day long, let alone combat effectiveness.
Therefore, it is imperative to reform the garrisons.
Chen Kuan's idea coincides with Tang Hao's.
But Tang Hao initially just wanted to pilot it in Qingzhou Guard. After all, the soldiers of Qingzhou Guard had just seen blood and witnessed corrupt officers being beheaded on the spot, which was enough to arouse their rebellious spirit and plant a seed of "resistance to injustice" in their hearts.
As a result, Chen Kuan and the young emperor were more ambitious. They wanted the military power of the entire Shandong area, or to train troops directly in Shandong.
After all, Shandong is not far from the capital. If there is any emergency, Shandong soldiers can also rush to the capital to defend the king in a short time. For example, in the Battle of Beijing, most of the Shandong soldiers were urgently transferred to Shandong.
But the problem lies in the two words of money and food.
If you want to train and raise soldiers, it is not just an empty talk.
How can you train and raise soldiers without money and food?
How can the men have the strength to train in the guards if they can't even eat enough?
Just like most of the sergeants of the guards now, they have been serfs of the guards for generations, and they have been farming for generations. They have never touched swords and guns, so what can they use to fight the enemy?
Compared to practicing garrison, these guard sergeants prefer to cultivate in the fields. The harvest is related to whether they can pay the rent and support their families. As for food and salary, they have never seen it before!
Because of this, Chen Kuan and the little emperor's plan was not impossible, but the military system of the guard station must be reformed.
For example, inventorying the acres of land in military camps, approving taxes on military camps, abolishing the hereditary system of military officers, etc...
Tang Hao could think with his toes that the gentry and gentry would never tolerate him doing this!
Fields are the foundation of agriculture, and agriculture is the foundation of dynasties.
Tang Hao could overpower the ministers in the court, and he could also slaughter officials in the local areas. These gentry and gentry could tolerate it because the knife did not fall on their own heads.
However, if Tang Hao suddenly touches the fields and directly affects the fundamental interests of these gentry, they will definitely fight back and tear Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, into pieces!
The fundamental interest of the gentry lies in their fields. Only by controlling the fields can they control the local people and continuously produce benefits.
Looking at the attitude of this little emperor now, he wants to become fat in one go!
Tang Hao pinched his eyebrows and fell into deep thought, how to properly solve this problem.
At this moment, a soldier hurried over.
"Master Hou, something happened in Dengzhou!"
"General Wei Zhang went to Chengshan Guard to strengthen coastal defense and encountered a large-scale attack by Japanese pirates!"
"General Wei Zhang... died on the battlefield, biting these Japanese pirates. General Houtianci arrived with the main force and killed all the Japanese pirates in the future!"
"General Tianci said that this was Bian Xiong's conspiracy against General Wei Zhang. He encountered an inexplicable attack while leading his troops to help. Fortunately, the opponent's combat power was not high and there were not many people, so he counterattacked and killed him, but he was also attacked for this reason. I wasted time and couldn't get there as soon as possible..."
Wei Zhang died in battle!
Japanese pirates are attacking in large numbers!
After hearing the news, Tang Hao punched the desk hard.
"Wei Zhang, this idiot!"
Before he went to Qingzhou to put down the rebellion, he clearly told Wei Zhang to be careful of plots and not to send troops easily!
But this idiot was just stubborn and lost his life in vain!
After Tang Hao calmed down his anger, he ordered in a cold voice.
"He has been ordered by God to temporarily take over the military affairs of the Japanese pirates, and find ways to raise ships, including the warships left by the Japanese pirates, which must be taken care of!"
Xu Tianci was a descendant of King Xu Da of Zhongshan, and he was also a concubine of the Pang family, so he followed Tang Hao. Not only was this boy tall and strong, he also liked to use his brain like Tang Mu, and he won Tang Hao's respect and trust.
It's just that maybe because he didn't come from a good background and suffered too much bullying when he was a child, Xu Tianci has a more reserved temperament and doesn't like to be in the limelight like Tang Mu.
After the messengers left, Tang Hao's expression gradually became serious.
Wei Zhang, the commander of the Japanese Capital Division, was an important part of his plan.
If nothing else, because of Wei Zhang's identity, he is a descendant of Wei Qing, the anti-Japanese hero. With his identity, Tang Hao can hold high the banner of "anti-Japanese" and more easily win over the people's hearts and promote the development of coastal areas. Shipbuilding industry development.
But now, Wei Zhang is gone, and the next plan is a little troublesome.
Bian Xiong, Bian Xiong, you beast, you really deserve to be killed!
At the same time, in the Wenhua Palace.
As soon as the court meeting began, a large number of officials impeached Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and massacred the people!
Because of the inconvenience of communication, these officials did not know what was happening in Shandong. They were still responding to the calls of Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong, trying their best to give Tang Hao a shit basin, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor could recall the Marquis of Zhongshan, or even the Marquis of Zhongshan. Tang Hao's military power was directly relieved!
Zhu Houzhao was unexpectedly calm today. He just sat on the dragon chair and listened quietly without any reaction.
His attitude, in the eyes of the three true kings of the court, Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng and Zhang Fuhua, was a sign that he was already furious and about to go berserk!
However, there are officials who do not know whether to live or die, and are still giving advice over and over again!
Liu Yu, the left deputy censor of the capital, was still speaking impassionedly about his righteousness, and did not notice at all that Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, looked at him with unusually cold eyes.
Liu Yu was a native of Junzhou, Henan. He was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Chenghua. He became a censor from the county magistrate. However, he was demoted due to party disputes and later moved to Shandong as an inspector.
This Liu Yu was originally Liu Jian's chief assistant in the cabinet. When Ma Wen was promoted, he was not shy about promoting talents. Seeing that Liu Yu was steady and talented, he recommended him to be the governor of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi Military Affairs.
As a result, Liu Daxia, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, knew that Emperor Hongzhi had a bad opinion of this person, so he repeatedly cited his faults in the court, which of course also implicated the recommender. As a result, Liu Yu was not promoted during the Hongzhi period, and he did not get what he deserved until the Zhengde reform. willing.
However, after all, Liu Yu once served as the inspector of Shandong, that is, Zhu Maogong's position!
When he learned that the Marquis of Zhongshan was rushing to investigate the case of the gentry and the gentry colluding with the Japanese pirates to smuggle through Beidusi, Liu Yu immediately panicked.
Although he had long since left Shandong and been promoted to the imperial court, the problem was that he had made a lot of money from this trading network back then. Who knew if Tang Hao would find him?
The Metropolitan Procuratorate now not only has independent investigative powers, but what is even more disgusting is that it has also launched an accountability system!
In other words, even if Liu Yu had already patted his ass and left, once the Marquis of Zhongshan found some evidence proving that Liu Yu was related to the case, he would not be able to escape!
That's why Liu Yu followed Zhu Maogong's suggestion and took the lead in impeaching Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao. No matter what, he could not continue to investigate Tang Hao!
"Your Majesty clearly shows you!"
"Such a heartless tragedy has never happened in this country!"
"The Marquis of Zhongshan, Tang Hao, in order to plunder the people's wealth and anointing, launched his troops to plunder and massacre the people. As a result, all ten houses in Qingzhou Mansion were empty, and tens of thousands of people were murdered by him!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar!
A group of courtiers began to discuss the matter, all discussing whether it was true or false.
But when Liu Yu saw that His Majesty the Emperor was unmoved, he simply changed his mind, knelt down on the ground, and said impassionedly: "Please take the Ming Dynasty as the most important thing, recall Tang Hao, Marquis of Zhongshan, and hand him over to the judicial department for punishment! "
"good!"
A light voice came from the platform.
This time, all the court officials were stunned.
Including Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng and Zhang Fuhua, the three true kings of the court!
Liu Yu himself was also stunned on the spot, followed by endless ecstasy!
He never expected that His Majesty would agree so happily!
However, Zhu Houzhao's next words made Liu Yu and others feel like they had fallen into an ice cave!
"But before that, I want you to meet someone!"
"It is reported that Qingzhou Guard Commander Gao Lu comes to the palace!"
