Volume Three Chapter 16 Trouble

Yan Song fooled him again, and he had not yet come forward, so Xia Yan helped him make a fuss about the ticket proposal and saved the wealthy maritime merchants.

When Yang Cong received the message, he felt a little amused. He really didn't expect that Xia Yan was so stupid and Jiajing was so confused.

Yan Song is difficult to deal with, and he has already understood this very well. He just didn't expect Xia Yan and Jiajing to behave so unbearable.

It would be fine for Jiajing. After all, it is normal for the emperor to live in the palace without rhyme in the world. Xia Yan, a veteran in the officialdom, shouldn't be so naive.

Although he was not in the capital, he knew everything that happened in the capital. Lu Bing was always helping him stare at the capital for his own benefit and his sister.

Although he didn't know what Yan Song said specifically when he went to Xia Yan's office, he knew clearly how Xia Yan's plan to write and how Jiajing dealt with it later.

This pair of kings and ministers is really speechless. No wonder they were fooled by Yan Song in history and didn't know that they were like dogs.

Of course, what came from the capital was not all bad news. Perhaps in order to appease him, Jiajing issued a special order to promote this war meritorious official Hu Zongxian to the right censor of the Censorate. Another meritorious official Qi Jingtong also took the title of right governor of the Five Army Governor's Office, and other soldiers participating in the war were rewarded.

In short, Jiajing gave him enough face and praised him very much.

As for Yang Cong himself, although he had not received promotion, he had many rewards of various kinds, so he was not in a hurry because he was still young and served as a third-rank official in the court in his twenties. It was rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty. If he was promoted to the six ministers or the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, it would be a bit exaggerated.

It is estimated that even if Jiajing wants to be promoted, Xia Yan and Yan Song will try their best to disturb him.

He doesn't care, anyway, there is still time, so there is no need to worry.

He didn't have time to consider the issues in the officialdom at this moment, because the situation in the southeast was not stable yet. Although the pirates and Japanese pirates gathered by Li Baldhead were annihilated, the other pirates and Japanese pirates were still making trouble.

After this battle, he also found a big problem, that is, the layout of the garrisons along the coast is not very reasonable, and many places are blank, and it is too easy for pirates and Japanese pirates to land and carry out raids.

This is definitely not possible, because he sent only more than 10,000 elite troops to various provinces, and the coastlines of each province are hundreds or even thousands of miles long. It is definitely unrealistic to have such a long coastline that the elite troops sent to Nanzhili can be stationed. It is still necessary to rely on the local garrison systems of each province. At least patrol, early warning, guarding key passes, delaying time and other miscellaneous tasks must be undertaken by the local garrison systems of each province. Otherwise, more than 10,000 elite troops of the garrisons alone will not be able to defend such a long coastline.

These seem to be not a big deal, but they are quite troublesome to do, because mobilizing the local garrisons not only to transfer people, but also to replace the military farms for them, otherwise the court would not give them food and salary if they eat.

If someone else was the governor, he would probably be afraid of such troubles and would be timid in the face of such troubles, but Yang Cong was not afraid of difficulties. He was not afraid of trouble, but he was afraid that things would not be done well.

Many people think that this is too difficult and that is too difficult, and it is difficult everywhere when they encounter difficulties. Then they find various excuses for themselves to retreat, so that they will not be able to do anything at all.

Often, those who achieve great things have special products to face difficulties. After so many years of training, Yang Cong has gradually developed this special product.

This difficulty was nothing to him, and there was no need for him to do everything himself and solve it one by one. He is the governor of Zhejiang and directly controls the military and civil affairs of the four provinces and one Beijing. With the order, who dares not to obey?

What he has to do is actually very simple, that is, divide responsibilities and then supervise, and deal with whoever dares to disturb them, and deal with whoever has problems.

After he worked hard for a few days, a brand new coastal defense layout map came out. According to his plan, it was not difficult to resist the invasion of pirates and Japanese pirates, because there were many guards everywhere. One guard was responsible for the guards of more than 100 miles of coastline at most, and a thousand households were responsible for the guards of the coastline at most twenty or thirty miles. Moreover, this so-called guard was not to fight against pirates and Japanese pirates. As long as they could discover the traces of pirates and Japanese pirates in time, and guard the key passes everywhere to prevent the spread of pirates and Japanese pirates. The final clearance was completed by the elite troops of the Tunwei.

He also fully considered the difficulty of migration in the garrison and tried to avoid large-scale migration. There were not many garrisons who really wanted to move their nests as a whole.

For example, in Quanzhou Prefecture, Yongning Guard was originally on the beach, and the entire coastline was almost within the defense range of Qianhu Stations under Yongning Guard. As long as you add a little garrison in places with weak troops, you basically don’t need to migrate many garrisons.

For example, in Suzhou Prefecture, Zhenhaiwei and Taicangwei are not far from the coastline. As long as you move the bases of each thousand household station a little to the beach, you don’t have to migrate many Tunwei.

Of course, there are also people like Yangzhou Prefecture, where there is no garrison near the coastline, so there is nothing we can do. Those who need to be moved must be moved. Yangzhou Guard, Gaoyou Guard and Yizhen Guard must all migrate to the coastline.

In short, in a word, defense zones of all sizes are drawn near the coastlines of the four provinces and one Beijing. Local guards must guard their own defense zones so that pirates and Japanese pirates will not spread out from their defense zones. No matter where there is a problem, from the commander-in-chief of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry

As soon as his order and the defense map were sent out, the four provinces and one Beijing were in full swing. What a joke, isn't this "nonsense".

Within a few days, the impeachment memorial flew to the capital like snowflakes. Many local officials "unanimously agreed" that the governor was acting randomly. Of course, most of the local officials who reported the impeachment were involved with Yan Song's party, or were directly involved with pirates and Japanese pirates.

After reading these memorials, Jiajing was immediately overwhelmed. Yang Cong was so disturbing, could he not make such a big deal?

Xia Yan wrote on the bill, "It is unrealistic to talk about military affairs on paper, and he planned to order Yang Cong, the governor of Zhejiang Zhi, to take back his fate." It was exactly what he thought, so he simply booked it together with the memorial and Xia Yan's bill, and sent it to Jinling for 800 miles in a hurry.

His meaning is very obvious, and I don't agree with you for making trouble like this.

Yang Cong had long expected Xia Yan and Yan Song to disturb him. After receiving the "big gift package" sent by Jiajing, he immediately wrote a long article back to the past, which roughly means:

How to resist the attacks of pirates and Japanese pirates without being strictly guarded? The reason why pirates and Japanese pirates in the southeast coastal coastal are so fierce is that these people passively resist and even engage in Japanese pirates. What is the intention of the impeacher? It is obvious that they just want to facilitate the operation of pirates and Japanese pirates. Those who refuse to execute may not execute. However, once their jurisdiction is attacked by pirates and Japanese pirates, they will be punished with more crimes and will be dragged out and cut!

Well, after seeing Yang Cong’s defense, Jiajing felt that it made some sense. So, what should I do?

It was very simple. Jiajing ordered people to copy Yang Cong’s memorial and send it to all local officials who reported the impeachment.
Chapter completed!
