When the sky was still dark, the cockcrow started to sound.
The light on the table flickered for a moment, then slowly went out.
Jiang Wan stood up and walked out of the house slowly, even gently closing the door behind him. Then he stood under the eaves and looked at his subordinates who had been standing in the yard all night.
There was a slight movement in the room behind me, and then there was a clang and the sound of tables and chairs falling down repeatedly.
Jiang Wan didn't move, and neither did everyone in the yard. Only the torches in their hands occasionally made a slight crackling sound. In his sight, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in the distance.
The long night is finally over!
The movement in the room behind him finally slowly died down, until it was completely quiet.
Jiang Wan sighed slightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked down the steps.
"How's it going outside?" he asked.
"Mr. Hui, most of the people have dispersed overnight, but there are still dozens of people staying. Sir, would you like...?"
Su Yue's eyes showed a fierce look, and he made a gesture on his neck with his hand: "Go down and deal with them!"
Jiang Wan shook her head slightly: "No need, other people will naturally handle their affairs. Our affairs have been completed!"
After walking out of the courtyard, Jiang Wan looked at the man sitting by the door who looked like a walking corpse. He paused for a moment and saw that the man's eyes suddenly brightened when he saw him coming out. He turned around and faced the courtyard.
Run away.
He continued to walk outside, and in the courtyard behind him, there were already screams and screams. As they left, dozens of people who had been around the inn and refused to leave also walked towards the courtyard one by one.
poured in.
Jiang Wan got on his horse and headed towards the far end of the official road without looking back. Behind him, a dozen large carts started to drive slowly. Where did these carts come from and where are they still heading?
Place to go back to.
Three days later, the news that Wei Zhongxian hanged himself in Hejian Mansion on the way to being demoted spread throughout the capital.
A month later, almost the entire Ming Dynasty, both officials and citizens, knew the news.
After all, the 9900-year-old man who was so powerful and had his shrines everywhere in the Ming Dynasty did not live to be 9900 years old. No matter how prominent he was during his lifetime, he was still nothing more than a pile of loess after his death.
Everyone is no different.
And in the court, because of Wei Zhongxian's death, a bloody storm began.
Ning Guogong Wei Liangqing, Jin Yiwei Commander Hou Guoxing (title) and other relatives of Wei Zhongxian and Hakka, when Wei Zhongxian was in power, secretly occupied high positions. Naturally, Chongzhen cannot tolerate them at this time. Those who should be executed should be executed, and those who should be exiled should be exiled.
Didn't fall behind either.
The Si Li Supervisor was Wei Zhongxian's headquarters, and was naturally the focus of the emperor's attention. The Si Li Supervisor, Wang Tiqian, and the eunuchs Li Yongzhen, Li Chaoqin, Liu Ruoyu, etc., were naturally doomed.
Li Chaoqin was the most efficient at that time. After all, he was the last person beside Wei Zhongxian when the village was deserted. After Jiang Wan left, Li Chaoqin, who cried a lot, was also three feet white. With Wei Zhongxian gone, it was considered that he had left.
The most decent.
The rest, Li Yongzhen was executed, Wang Tiqian and Liu Ruoyu were imprisoned, and the power of Wei Zhongxian's inner court was wiped out.
In the outer court, there were five tiger civil servants, Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Tian Ji, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, Wu Chunfu, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Ni Wenhuan, the minister of Taichang Temple, Li Xielong, the deputy censor of the capital; the five military attachés, Tian Ergeng, the left governor, and Xu Xianchun, the imperial guard officer.
Cui Yingyuan, the governor's colleague, Sun Yunhe, the right governor, and Yang Huan, the imperial guard.
Except for those who are already dead, these five tigers and five villains will all be arrested and handed over to a competent authority for trial and punishment.
In the court, the list of "eunuchs" to be liquidated was close to 300 people. These people were either dismissed from their posts or arrested. Suddenly, it was seen in the capital that former high-ranking officials were dismissed every day, and Nanzhen Fusi
The imperial prison was also overcrowded.
The sound of firecrackers has not stopped for a day since the news of Wei Zhongxian's death reached the capital.
However, all this seems to have little relevance on Nanhaiwei's side.
Setting up a new garrison is actually no different from setting up a new army. Almost all of the complicated matters such as garrison location, manpower, money, food, weapons, etc. all fall on Jiang Wan.
However, perhaps the emperor had given special instructions. From the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then to the Ministry of Personnel, all the procedures were completed, and all the materials, weapons, food and wages were allocated in place. It went smoothly beyond Jiang Wan's imagination.
Jiang Wan thought that it would take him at least a month to put Nanhaiwei on the line and handle all the complicated procedures clearly. However, in less than twenty days, everything was done properly.
.
The Nanhai Guard is a pro-military guard, with one guard commander and two governors. It has three thousand households under its jurisdiction. Each thousand household has a capacity of 1,120 people. The entire guard station has a capacity of 5,600 people.
.
Of course, these are numbers on documents. Even if the current Nanhai Guards include Su Qianqian and all the girls, there are less than 1,000 people. If the imperial court distributes food and salary to this quota, it will be too much for the adults of the Ministry of War.
It's no longer a big deal.
Even if it is a pro-military guard, such a thing cannot exist in theory. Therefore, this quota means that the Nanhai Guard can recruit more troops or recruit more people to make up the number, as long as it does not exceed 5,600 people.
, after inspection by the Ministry of War and the Qing Army, you can apply for food, wages and weapons according to this number.
Of course, if it exceeds this number and no one cares about it, the commander Jiang Wan will have to pay for the food and salary of those who exceed it.
However, this situation generally does not occur. First, the military pay of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the frontier army or the Beijing army, has never been fully paid. It is normal to delay it for three to five months; second, the generals of the Ming Dynasty
, it is common for people to eat empty wages, but some people eat empty wages purely to line their own pockets, while some people eat empty wages just to support a group of capable servants around them.
In other words, Jiang Wan needs to recruit troops next!
Xu Jian took one of the three Qianhu below as he wished. After careful consideration, Feng Wanli also switched to Nanhaiwei. Although Qianhu also wanted to do so, it was obvious that he had weighed his future in Nanhaiwei, which was better than that in Nanhaiwei.
Thousands of households in Nanzhen Fusi have a promising future.
As for the third thousand households, it was naturally given to Gao Jin without any suspense. It is said that after receiving this appointment, Gao Jin directly set up a running water mat in Xicheng for three days. The posture could not be described as "Guangzong Yaozu".
Regarding Xu Xianchun's placement, Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment and reported it to the emperor in person. After receiving permission, he directly asked Xu Xianchun over.
Xu Xianchun was indeed guilty of a heinous crime, but he could gain easily by betraying the enemy. More importantly, Jiang Wan felt it was necessary to keep this person around so that his possible enemies in the future could see that even his enemies would only need to switch to him.
Even so, he still won't treat the other party badly.
The two governors of Nanhai Guard are responsible for supervising military discipline. Although Xu Yingyuan is also responsible for one, he is in the palace and cannot stay in Nanhai Guard for a long time. In Jiang Wan's eyes, this is a supervisor sent by the emperor.
It's just an army. As for the actual pacification, the other party probably won't do it.
And Xu Xianchun is very suitable for this position. After all, this is a job that offends people, but no matter how much he offends people, Xu Xianchun has nowhere else to go except Nanhaiwei. Whether he is willing or not, Jiang
I am very sure that I will do better than anyone else in this position.
