For some time, Zhang Pu was not idle. After arguing with Su Tiancheng, he felt danger based on his instinct. Su Tiancheng's ability was extraordinary and he had a strong plan for doing things.

In the past, he had not cared about Jiangning County. Although Su Tiancheng and he were classmates and second place in the palace examination, he didn't care. With his identity as the leader of the resumption society, he was the top scorer in the palace examination. That's it. If he wanted to praise someone or belittle someone, he would always think of a solution.

In his opinion, all the changes in Jiangning County were ruthless. First of all, the status of merchants has been improved. Don’t you know that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the lowest, and it belongs to the category of untouchables. This has been the case since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, Chen Wansan was rich enough to rival a country, and was exiled by the emperor. His huge wealth turned into a bubble. Therefore, as a merchant, you must be conscious of what can be done and what can not be done. As a merchant, you cannot not know these things. The only thing that can be explained is that Su Tiancheng himself was also from a merchant family.

Secondly, the county government supports merchants, which is putting the cart before the horse. The county government should pay the most attention to is money, grain and criminal matters. See what Su Tiancheng has done. The county government helps merchants sell products. What is the point of doing? Although merchants can pay tribute to the county government, the government cannot be fascinated by the silver. It must adhere to its own responsibilities and cannot give merchants a good face, let alone help merchants sell products.

Again, the officials in the county government were treated too high, surpassing the other counties in Yingtian Prefecture. Even the officials of the six ministries in Nanjing received salary and regular silver. They were not as good as Jiangning County. What does Su Tiancheng mean to please the officials below, thinking that Jiangning County will become the kingdom of **? This is true, and his intentions are so sinister.

Finally, let’s take a look at the situation of Jiangning Camp. The predecessor of Jiangning Camp was the inspection department of Jiangning County. It was just a soldier who maintained local public order. Relying on several accidental victories, it developed into Jiangning Camp, but in Nanjian, Jiangning County. There are also two camps in the capital. The existence of Jiangning Camp has placed the two camps where they are. Although the emperor issued an imperial edict and Jiangning Camp has a name, who knows whether this is the result of Su Tiancheng deceiving his superiors and concealing his subordinates.

In Zhang Pu's opinion, all this is evidence of Su Tiancheng's crime. These evidences will be revealed to the world. Su Tiancheng cannot gain a foothold. As long as the Fushe mobilizes many members and attacks them in groups, Su Tiancheng has no way out.

Unfortunately, his plan was refuted by Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi was older and had more experiences. What he said was very simple. Donglin Academy and Fushe attacked Su Tiancheng. No matter what problem Su Tiancheng had or any serious rebellious matter, he had to propose practical solutions. It would be inappropriate to blindly have any responsibility. Su Tiancheng had problems. Su Tiancheng was a court official. The fundamental nature of Donglin Academy and Fushe was a private institution or an academic researcher. Gu Xiancheng, who founded Donglin Academy, has always emphasized this way. If he blatantly interfered in the government affairs, his own foothold would not be very stable, which may lead to disasters.

Zhang Pu couldn't listen to Qian Qianyi's evil at all. He wrote a letter to Wu Weiye in the stable, asking Wu Weiye to support his actions, find an opportunity to impeach Su Tiancheng to the emperor, but unfortunately Wu Weiye politely declined.

Wu Weiye's actions made Zhang Pu even more angry.

He made a bold move, one that was enough to destroy Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Camp.

The two camps in Nanjing stables are already full of complaints, and the guard General Zhang Taining is a little difficult to control. The reason for this situation in the two camps is that the Jiangning camp.

The military pay for the soldiers in Jiangning Camp is five taels of silver a month, and the military pay for the soldiers in the two major camps is only one tael a month, and they are often owed. Although the military pay was paid in the fifth year of Chongzhen, the gap between them is too big compared with the Jiangning Camp. The soldiers in the two major camps are also in Jiangning County, so why is the difference between the military pay?

This situation was noticed by Zhang Pu. He felt that he had arrested it. As long as he did a lot of work on this matter, Su Tiancheng could not explain it, let alone the treatment of the soldiers in the Southern Zhili Guard Station was even lower.

This involves whether the court is stable. Zhang Pu thought that he grasped the key.

Unfortunately, what he didn't understand was that the court had noticed such a thing long ago and had a clear arrangement. This was a very sensitive matter and a special issue for the court to pay attention to. If someone instigated such a thing, the court's anger would be imagined, which would really cause a mutiny in the army and the provocations would be destroyed by the nine clans.

It is of great importance, and Zhang Pu did not discuss this matter with anyone.

Fushe has almost no influence among the army. Although most of the scholars in the world joined or supported Fushe, the gap between civil and military officials was still very deep. Especially after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, there was already some incompatible civil and military officials. Besides, the scholars had some deviations in their understanding of soldiers and were unwilling to join the soldiers at all. Therefore, Zhang Pu's plan still needs to be done by himself.

Zhang Pu tried every possible way and finally contacted Zhang Taining. At this moment, Su Tiancheng had already left Jiangning County and headed to the stable.

When visiting Zhang Taining, Zhang Pu made full preparations.

Zhang Taining also respected Zhang Pu very much. After all, Zhang Pu was the leader of Fushe and had a great influence among scholars. His fame in Southern Zhili was also very good.

Zhang Pu is a Jinshi. When he met Zhang Taining, he just bowed his head and bowed his head.

After Zhang Taining returned the greeting, Zhang Pu spoke with a serious expression, straight to the point without greetings.

"General Zhang, I found that there are great dangers in the two camps in Nanjing. I am very worried and I will remind General Zhang specifically."

There was no expression on Zhang Taining's face. Zhang Pu should not be involved in the affairs of the two camps in Nanjing. Not to mention Zhang Pu, even if the officials of the court were not authorized, they could not be involved casually.

"What does Lord Zhang mean?"

"The reason why I talk about the two camps with General Zhang is a bit abrupt. However, I am a scholar. I always have to say something unfair when I see something wrong in my eyes. I hope General Zhang will not blame him."

"Since that's the case, please tell me if you have any ideas."

"General Zhang, I noticed that there is a big gap in the military pay between the soldiers in Jiangning camp and the soldiers of the two camps. I heard that the soldiers in Jiangning camp have military pay of five taels of silver per month. Look at the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty garrison, whose military pay can reach such a height. Both camps and Jiangning camp are in Jiangning County. If there is such a big gap in military pay, they can convince people. If the soldiers in the two camps are dissatisfied, or even gather to cause trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhang Taining's face was already a little ugly, but Zhang Pu ignored it and continued to talk down according to his own ideas.

"The Jiangning Camp's move has affected not only the two camps in Nanjing, but also the Ming soldiers in the world. The comparison of this is not to say that the treatment of all the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty is exactly the same, and there is still a gap, but the gap should not be too big. Just say that the salaries of the officials of the court are the same. Although there is a gap in silver, it is not too big."

"The soldiers in Jiangning Camp and the two camps are both in Jiangning County, but the military pay gap has reached five times. What does this make the soldiers in the two camps feel? If it affects the morale of the army, the Jiangning Camp will be extremely guilty."

When Zhang Pu said something more and more, it became more and more wrong. Zhang Taining spoke coldly.

"Mr. Zhang is really careful. He is concerned about such a problem. I don't know what solution can you solve if such a problem arises."

"After considering it carefully, we must take a two-pronged approach to solve this problem. First, the military pay of the soldiers of Jiangning County must be consistent with the two major camps. There cannot be any special ones. As long as the court orders, General Zhang will lead the Jiangning Camp, all problems can be solved."

"Second, the culprit of Jiangning County, Su Tiancheng, as the Jiangning Camp military supervisor, has great responsibility, and the court should punish it severely..."

"Mr. Zhang, please wait. I don't understand. The commander of Jiangning Camp is Mr. Fan, the Minister of War. According to your wishes, the greatest responsibility is not on Lord Fan. Isn't the court going to punish Lord Fan?"

"Yes, Lord Fan, as the Minister of War, Governor of Zhizhe, and the counselor of military affairs, has his own responsibilities to solve such problems. What's more, Lord Fan also serves as the commander of Jiangning Camp, and he must set an example."

"Oh, Lord Zhang has such an understanding. I admire him very much. I don't know what your purpose is today, and what I want to do."

"I believe that General Zhang should impeach Su Tiancheng. Su Tiancheng's move is likely to disrupt the morale of the army and destroy the foundation of our Ming Dynasty."

"So that's it. I understand. Not to mention who is disrupting the morale of the army and destroying the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, I will say that what you said today is that I can already arrest you. No matter whether you have fame or not, you are here to visit me today. Those who don't know will not be guilty. I hope you will not be so nonsense in the future."

"General Zhang is such a bad thing. He is a Jinshi and is still a member of the country. When encountering such a thing, he must stand up and speak. If he is a turtle, it is not in line with my personality. General Zhang is very proud. If he wants to capture me, please wait."
