Chapter 273 Xiong Wencan's little action

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and it was mid-July in the blink of an eye. During this period, Yu Xiaotian took the opportunity to inspect the places under his control and ordered all the ministries to suspend all the attacks and attacks on the land, and all of them withdrew their temporary moorings for standby.

The coastal area of Fujian, which had been chaotic for more than a year, was completely quiet. However, before Xiaotian failed to receive the imperial edict, the sea wolf did not immediately evacuate various sites along the coast. Only after the imperial court sealed it could officially fulfill the contract.

After Xiaotian and Xiong Wencan reached an agreement, Li Yi immediately secretly sent 50,000 taels of silver to Xiong Wencan as a cost for Xiong Wencan to open up the joints of this matter.

Xiong Wencan accepted the silver rudely, immediately wrote the memorial, and sent his cronies to send the memorial to the capital as soon as possible, and made the families left behind in the capital began to move around to give gifts and open up various joints.

After all, this matter is not a trivial matter. It is still extremely rare for a giant bandit to recruit a party to throw out the position of general at present. If someone deliberately obstructs this, Xiong Wencan's plan will be wasted this time.

So Xiong Wencan didn't dare to neglect at all. He adjusted enough silver and sprinkled it in Beijing. In the end, he still dredged all kinds of joints and approved his memorial.

Then the court also drew up a decree and sent it to Fujian together. Under the day and night under Xiong Wencan's cronship, the imperial edict and the approval of the court were sent back to Fujian.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian was already waiting for the news in Gaopu in Weitou Bay. After the imperial edict was sent to Fujian, Xiong Wencan immediately arranged for someone to accompany the eunuch who announced the decree to be sent to Quanzhou Prefecture.

When the eunuch arrived in Quanzhou Prefecture, someone had already sent the news to Yu Xiaotian. This time, Yu Xiaotian did not neglect it and immediately set off to Quanzhou Prefecture to listen to be sealed.

Now that Yu Xiaotian's acceptance of Zhao'an has spread for a long time, so although Yu Xiaotian has not been sealed, he has actually been whitewashed the thief. Therefore, he swaggered into Quanzhou City. Naturally, no one will stop him. Instead, he is the governor of Quanzhou and has to go out of the city to greet him in person like an uncle. .

In the past, civil servants like the Quanzhou magistrate will certainly not give such face to generals. Even if they are three-grade officials, the magistrate can't just be from the fourth grade, because the Ming Dynasty's habit of suppressing literature and martial arts, even generals with a higher grade than civil officials will never dare to be presumptuous in front of civil servants below their grade.

In many times, once the general provoked the civilian, even if the civilian rank was lower than the general, the civilian officer also ordered the general to take down and slap him on the spot.

Therefore, the generals of the Ming Dynasty are a little similar to those of the generals of the Song Dynasty. These days are quite sad. When they see the civil servants, they bow their heads first and never dare to be arrogant in front of the civil servants. Even people like generals did not dare to be arrogant in front of small prefectures before.

But now Yu Xiaotian is different from other generals, because he is a famous evil god in Fujian. Nowadays, except for Xiong Wencan, he really doesn't give face to others, and those civil officials have no choice.

What's more, now Yu Xiaotian wants to stay on Quanzhou territory, which makes the governor of Quanzhou complain about this. He dares to be rude to other generals, but he dares not instruct Xiaotian. Even for Xiaotian's men, I'm afraid he dares not easily treat them as people.

So this time, when he learned that the eunuch came to Quanzhou to declare the decree to Yu Xiaotian, the governor of Quanzhou was ready for everything early.

This time Yu Xiaotian came to Quanzhou not only by himself, because this seal, in addition to him, also included his wife Lan'er, who was also appointed as the wife of the order, so this time he also came to listen to the seal.

After a lot of toss, Yu Xiaotian finally arrived at the Quanzhou government office. At this time, the eunuch Xuanzhi had not yet arrived in Quanzhou, and many people were constantly passing on the news to report where the eunuch had arrived now.

So it was not until the afternoon that the eunuch Shiran arrived in Quanzhou Prefecture. Unexpectedly, there was another burst of chickens and dogs jumping up and down the Quanzhou Prefecture. The magistrate took Yu Xiaotian and others to the north gate to welcome the Xuanzhi eunuchs and his party into the Quanzhou government office.

And this eunuch came from Beijing. On the way, he still expected to walk slowly along the way. Although he was just an unknown eunuch in Beijing, after all, this time he was sent abroad. Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to make some benefits.

However, Xiong Wencan was really urged. After they left Beijing, they took the waterway and hardly stopped along the way. First, they went all the way south to Yangzhou Prefecture, and then they arrived in Hangzhou by boat. They landed in Hangzhou and turned into vehicles. Although they did not say that they were eating and sleeping all the way, they were really tired.

I finally arrived in Fuzhou, Fujian Province. Before I had a rest, I was urged to rush to Quanzhou Prefecture, which completely shattered the eunuch's idea of fighting the autumn wind along the way. Basically, I didn't get any benefits, and I was tired.

Although Yu Xiaotian's reputation is famous in Fujian, but in Beijing, who knows who he is? In particular, these eunuchs with eyes higher than the top will not pay attention to Yu Xiaotian, so Yu Xiaotian has offended this guy to death before he saw this eunuch.

Since this eunuch saw Yu Xiaotian at the gate, he has not looked at him at all. His face was so cloudy that he was about to come out of water, and he did not give Yu Xiaotian a good look at all.

Yu Xiaotian didn't know where he offended the castan at first. It seemed that he owed this guy hundreds of taels of silver and didn't pay it back. For a moment, he didn't know what was going on.

Fortunately, someone next to him secretly whispered to him, and he suddenly realized that after the eunuch entered the Quanzhou government office, Yu Xiaotian immediately sent someone to quietly give the eunuch a few tickets issued by the sea wolf Qianzhuang. After the eunuch looked at it, his face immediately turned cloudy and became clear and became open. A lot of heart.

The so-called meeting ticket is actually a kind of silver ticket that can be exchanged for silver at any time in private banks. It is a kind of anonymous check that can be exchanged for silver equivalent to the merchant who issued this * at any time.

With an indebable attitude, Yu Xiaotian made a bold move and stuffed 2,000 taels of silver for the eunuch, which was much more than the eunuch's original expectation.

Eunuchs like them can be said to have gone to the sea in Beijing. Although it is a fat job to get out to declare the decree, even such an errand needs to be done up and down. Sometimes in case they meet an ignorant guy, they may run for nothing. Even under normal circumstances, the person who received the order is more generous, and it is good to take out a few hundred taels of silver for filial piety.

But Yu Xiaotian suddenly took out 2,000 taels of silver and gave him a set of quite exquisite glass tea sets. This thing is also very valuable on the market now. If it is sold in the capital, it can be worth at least hundreds of taels of silver without any problem. This time, it made the eunuch happy. This has already It was much beyond his original expectations and finally felt that the hard work was worth it. Of course, his face could no longer be calm.

So he no longer delayed. After tidying up his clothes a little, he quickly took out the imperial edict in his hand, walked out of the back hall, and shouted to Yu Xiaotian outside: "Yu Xiaotian listened to the seal..."

At this time, the governor of Quanzhou had already prepared all kinds of incense cases and other supplies on behalf of Xiaotian. When the eunuch came out, he quickly greeted Yu Xiaotian to listen to the seal.

Fortunately, before Xiaotian came, someone had introduced all kinds of etiquette to him and practiced it. Otherwise, such a rehearsal would not make Xiaotian make a fool of himself on the spot.

Under the eunuch's shrill voice, he read it loudly: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict..." I read it for a long time.

Yu Xiaotian was dizzy when he heard it, so he listened to it vaguely. In fact, this kind of imperial edict is a decree, which can be regarded as a formal appointment letter to him by the court. In addition, he also made Lan'er a third-grade wife.

So Yu Xiaotian kowtowed and thanked the emperor, and the eunuch handed over the imperial edict to him with a smile on his face. In addition to the imperial eunuch, the eunuch also brought Yu Xiaotian a complete set of three-grade military generals's official uniforms and his wife's clothes from the capital.

But what made Yu Xiaotian unhappy was that in addition to his seal, this time the capital also brought the appointment of his subordinates.

According to Xiong Wencan's request, the court not only sealed Yu Xiaotian, but also gave various appointments to his generals, which was a little beyond Xiaotian's original expectation.

When he negotiated with Xiong Wencan, he did not mention the appointment of his generals. He originally planned to make another matter after recruiting him, but he did not expect that Xiong Wencan would take this opportunity to directly pass him and appoint some of his generals.

This matter was not learned from Xiong Wencan until he learned that the eunuch had arrived in Fuzhou.

At that time, Yu Xiaotian was quite shocked when he heard about this, but he immediately figured out the tricks, so he was furious on the spot and almost overturned the table.

Although Yu Xiaotian did not dare to claim to be intelligent, at least he was not a fool. He quickly figured out that the purpose of Xiong Wencan did this is actually very simple, which is to divide his subordinates and provoke the relationship between his men and him by such means.
