Chapter 92 Take the opportunity to blackmail
In a word, this time Yu Xiaotian was ordered to go north, which is a great event for him and even the whole Fujian. Yu Xiaotian's success or failure of going north this time is also very important, especially for him. Xiong Wencan has long been regarded as his confidant. In recent years, he has given it to the court and handed it to Xiaotian. Good words.
It can be said that he has blown Yu Xiaotian to the sky, but if Yu Xiaotian leads his troops north to suppress the rebellion this time and fails to make achievements, but loses the battle, it is equivalent to slapping him in the face and completely dismissing his face. At that time, he, the governor, will probably not be able to explain to the court.
In addition, he is also worried that Yu Xiaotian is unwilling to go north. Now Yu Xiaotian is staying well in Fujian, making money and doing everything smoothly. I guess he will not be willing to go north to suppress the rebellion.
When he left Fujian and arrived in Shandong, he was a visiting army. The visiting army has never been liked by the locals, and he stayed in Shandong. Before he came to Fujian to take office, he was an official in Shandong. Shandong people have always been very hostile to the visiting army. In addition, Shandong is very poor, far poorer than Fujian.
And in Shandong, over the years, it has been a white lotus religion, a famine, and a cold winter. The biggest problem is that Shandong has no money and a serious lack of grain. Yu Xiaotian led his troops to the north. When he arrived in Shandong as a visiting army, Shandong will certainly not pay too much attention to them. This grain and salary will definitely not be given in time.
He knows Yu Xiaotian's temper. If you want him to work hard, you have to serve him comfortably. This salary can't be lacking at any time, but it's better in Fujian. With him, he is calm and sometimes in arrears for a period of time. Yu Xiaotian also sells him face, which is not too hard.
But after arriving in Shandong, if the Shandong government does not feed him for a long time, Yu Xiaotian will definitely lose his temper and give no face to anyone.
And he also knows very clearly about the situation of the government in Shandong. Even if the grain and salaries are allocated by the court in time, they have to pass through the hands of many people along the way. On the way, many people must have to make a fortune. The amount of floating must be quite a lot. Can Yu Xiaotian swallow this breath?
Yu Xiaotian is very strict, but he is also quite good for his subordinates. Even if occasionally the government is short of money and food, he will pay out of his own pocket to make up for it in time, and never drink blood from his soldiers. Yu Xiaotian is one of the strange people who will be a general tomorrow.
However, if Yu Xiaotian can stand the money when he arrives in Shandong, Xiong Wencan himself feels uncertain, so after seeing the imperial edict, he decided to go to Weitouwan to see Yu Xiaotian in person and persuade him. Please take care of Yu Xiaotian for his face and don't go. There is no mess over there.
And he is still worried that if Yu Xiaotian doesn't want to go, this matter will be directly suppressed by the court, and it's okay not to go. If Yu Xiaotian really doesn't go, then he will not respect the order. He finally took Yu Xiaotian for his own use. If Yu Xiaotian is forced because of this matter, God knows this What can a bold guy do?
When Xiong Wencan thought of these things, he felt like a needle on his buttocks and did not dare to neglect them at all. He immediately left Fuzhou City and took a boat directly to Weitou Bay to meet Yu Xiaotian directly. In addition, he did not forget it and ordered his men to quickly raise funds for Yu Xiaotian. Take measures of all kinds of materials, money and food to ensure that he is satisfied first, and agree to send troops.
Otherwise, if this guy does not respect the order, insists, and refuses to send troops, then he will be completely sad. Now on Fujian, no one can control this guy. If he is strong, the force at hand can sweep the whole of Fujian. Even if the two Guangzhou are added, he may not be able to Deal with him.
So Xiong Wencan is so nervous! Seeing the imperial edict, he began to make tight arrangements and put out the cruel words. If anyone makes trouble at this time, it depends on how he cleans up and will not be able to eat it.
Yu Xiaotian received Xiong Wencan in his general's mansion in Weitouwan. When the imperial edict was read out, Yu Xiaotian pretended to be shocked. He knelt for a long time and did not say anything, and did not follow common sense. Thank Lord Longen for receiving the imperial edict.
When Xiong Wencan saw Yu Xiaotian's performance, his heart thumped and screamed broken, broken! This is a bad thing! So he gave Yu Xiao Angel a wild wink, but Yu Xiaotian had the right not to see it. He still knelt on the ground, silent and did not accept the order.
Xiong Wencan was so anxious that he had no choice but to remind him, "General Yu! Why don't you get the order to thank me quickly?"
Yu Xiaotian then pretended to kowtow and thank him reluctantly, took over the imperial edict with both hands, sent someone to arrange the person who announced the decree first and gave him some money, but the amount was not much, which made it clear that he was reluctant. He was unhappy and very unhappy about this job!
Xiong Wencan saw that Yu Xiaotian finally took over the imperial edict first, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, so he coughed and drove the others out. There were only him and Yu Xiaotian left in the room.
Xiong Wencan pretended to be old and important, and did not put on the air of being the governor. He made an approachable person, and as an elder, he began to do psychological work for Yu Xiaotian and advised Yu Xiaotian not to think too much. In fact, the court also valued him for doing so, so he was transferred him to the north to suppress the rebellion.
In fact, this is not necessarily a bad thing. If it is done well, it should be a good thing. In a word, after saying good words for a long time, he was afraid that Yu Xiaotian would not respect the order and resolutely refused to lead the army to the north. In that case, he would be sad.
If you want to say that Xiong Wencan, the governor, is also a cowardly enough. When in the Ming Dynasty, civilian officials at the same level will be so polite to generals, not to mention higher-level leaders. When civilian officials treat generals, even lower-level ones, they are often condescending in front of generals, scolding them, and even taking action. Big slaps happen from time to time. Generally speaking, generals don't even dare to fart and can only endure it.
However, now there is such an old man in Fujian. He can't be beaten or scolded. He can only be gentle and good at persuading. He is afraid that he will be furious and resist the decree. They are all governors. Why is the gap between this person so big?
Xiong Wencan couldn't help howling secretly, but on the surface, he still pretended to be impassioned and said that the benefits of this trip to filial piety.
Yu Xiaotian has been bowing his head and saying nothing, and doesn't know what to think about. He has been making Xiong Wencan's mouth dry and drinking water with a tea bowl. Yu Xiaotian pretended to be reluctant and sighed: "Since adults value this matter so much, then adults have the kindness to humble positions. How can they refute the faces of adults? Zi? Since the adults came to persuade the humble position in person this time, this face should be sold to the adults!
It doesn't matter! In this case, it's better to grit your teeth and go this time! ......”
Speaking of this, Yu Xiaotian deliberately paused for a moment, but when he heard this sentence in Xiong Wencan's ears, it seemed to be like the sound of nature, which was more pleasant than anything he heard. Even if he almost jumped up and shouted.
"But! Your Excellency! It's okay to go to a humble position, but there are several conditions! I hope you will agree! Or ask adults to help the humble job!" Yu Xiaotian didn't wait for Xiong Wencan to be ecstatic and immediately continued.
Xiong Wencan's good words were choked in his throat and just took a sip of tea. At that time, he was choked and coughed for a while. He knew that this guy would not comply so easily. Isn't it? Here comes the meat show!
"Okay! As long as I can do it, I will find a way to help you do it! Let you have no worries!" Xiong Wencan gritted his teeth and said.
"In this case, then the humble position dares to say it! I once heard that the officials and civilians in Shandong never pretend to be rude to the visiting army and always like to make things difficult! It has always been not paid on time. If you go to Denglai, Shandong still treats inferior and inferior subordinates like this. Under the lack of food and salary, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control the inferior position!
In addition, the humble subordinates have now been short of salary for three months. If they are asked to go on an expedition to Denglai this time, they must first make up their unpaid salary, and it is better to pay another three months' salary in advance. In addition, please prepare military food for half a year for the humble position. After the provincial humble position goes to Denglai, the grain It is difficult to raise funds locally, and you have to use some means to force a humble position!
In addition, their subordinates are all southern soldiers. I'm afraid that the soldiers will not adapt to the bitter cold in the north, and they have not prepared for the soldiers to survive the winter and cold, which also needs the help of adults to raise funds! Otherwise, if the humble position leads the army, I'm afraid that a large number of soldiers will freeze to death. In this way, the humble position may have no chance of winning.
In addition, there is a ruthless invitation for the humble position. If you go to Denglai this time, I'm afraid it will take at least a year to come back. However, adults know that some industries in the humble position will inevitably be coveted by people. Therefore, the humble position wants to ask adults to take care of it. If the humble position is not in Fujian, don't let people interfere with some of the jurisdiction of the humble position. Affairs, otherwise, even if the humble position is over there to suppress the rebellion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of him!
Of course, it would be even better if adults can send one or two praise paintings who were once familiar with Shandong's official affairs to go to Denglai. The inferior position is not familiar with the place in the north. If someone can help, it may be much smoother! It will also avoid many misunderstandings!
And the most important point is that adults also know that on this trip north to Denglai, they need to rely on sailors and boats to transport soldiers, horses, as well as food and salaries. What's more, they need to constantly deliver ammunition and materials to Denglai. There must be a dock controlled by Beizhen for the use of Beilai. Others are involved and subject to others! This also requires adults to take the blaze from the middle!
If these conditions can meet the inferiority, then the inferiority will have no worries and should be loyal to the court and calm down this rebellion for the court! Send the traitor to the capital!"
