Volume Three Chapter One Disobedience
Why did Yang Cong come to Nantai Shipyard?
The reason is very simple, because among the four major official shipyards in Daming, the Qingjiang Shipyard in the Jiangsu North Qingjiang Shipyard, and the Weihe Shipyard in Shandong are basically abandoned, and only this Nantai Shipyard can still build warships. If he wants to build warships quickly, of course he can only take over the ready-made Nantai Shipyard, instead of trying hard to rectify other shipyards and slowly let them restore their shipbuilding capabilities.
There is another reason, which also forced him to go there personally, because there are maritime merchants in the Nantai Shipyard behind the scenes. If he doesn't come, others may not be able to stop the situation.
Sure enough, as soon as the news of Lin Changshui's arrest spread, the entire Nantai Shipyard was quickly paralyzed.
The thousands of craftsmen who originally worked in the shipyard were gone, and all the docks became empty and could not even find a figure.
The big merchants who originally supplied wood, canvas, and even small vendors selling iron nails and rivets to shipyards were gone. Even if there were people, they wouldn't seem to start construction.
This is the result of Yang Cong making a noise, pointing out that he was in charge of the Nantai Shipyard. Otherwise, some local officials would probably go to the shipyard to attack the shipyard under the secret instruction of the maritime merchants.
There is no way, the wealthy maritime merchants have too deep foundations in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. If ordinary people work with them in these two places, they will definitely not be able to afford it.
For example, Zhu Wan is a very obvious example. The governor of Zhejiang and the superior officials of the first rank of borders were forced to commit suicide by them, which shows their power in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.
Of course, Yang Cong is not an ordinary person. He is supported by Yangming, the Censorate, Gonghou Xungui and others. Even if the wealthy maritime merchants move out of the backstage, Yan Song can't move him. Moreover, he is a local from Fujian, and he is not afraid of local forces.
What should I do if any of this craftsman disappeared?
It's very simple. There are Huangcai of the Shipyard Tijuan Department. There are detailed records of all the craftsmen in the shipyard, where they live, how many people are there, etc. He just needs to find someone according to Huangcai.
Of course, he was not looking for someone to arrest him. He also knew that these craftsmen definitely did not have the courage to fight him, the governor, and there would definitely be a last resort if they didn't come. Just ask the whole story.
Sure enough, he sent someone to the craftsman's house to inquire, and soon found out that it was not that these craftsman were unwilling to come to work, but that their immediate boss had spoken and refused to let them work. If they dared to disobey, they would not want to hang out in Zhejiang and Fujian in the future.
This guy, hasn't Lin Changshui been caught in the shipyard? What are these craftsmen?
Yang Cong ordered people to investigate and found that there were quite a few bosses in their immediate posts. These craftsmen were not directly recruited by Lin Changshui Pipeline. They also had craftsmen, commanders and officials on them. Some of them were military craftsmen, and there were thousands of households above them, and they were in charge of the commanders and commanders.
These people are basically local tyrants, and ordinary officials really dare not do anything to them. However, Yang Cong is obviously not among the ordinary officials.
After he ordered people to investigate, he issued an order to all relevant officials, commanders, craftsmen, guard commanders, thousands of households, and water village chiefs, and all came to the yamen to wait for the orders, and then he would bear the consequences.
Is his order useful?
Early that morning, before the hour of Mao arrived, he came to the lobby of the Tijuan Office and was about to go to the hall to start Mao.
Not to mention, these people are so brave. After the hour of Mao, the middle of the lobby was still empty, not a single one, only two rows of Jinyiwei stood straight on both sides, and the scene was extremely awkward.
Yang Cong frowned and sat there for a while, then shouted to the outside, "Chen Lian."
Qianhu Chen Lian, the Jinyiwei, heard the sound and bowed his hands and said loudly: "Sir, what are you asking?"
Yang Cong ordered without hesitation: "Go and bring all the officials, commanders and craftsmen to me."
Chen Liandao said, obeyed the order, turned around and walked away quickly.
Yang Cong then shouted to the outside, "Zhifu."
The new Fujian general Yu Dayou responded and bowed and said loudly: "Sir, what are you asking?"
Yang Cong ordered without hesitation: "Go and bring all the commanders of the three guards in the left, center and right of Fuzhou, as well as the nearby Qianhushu and the water village to our officers."
Yu Dayou also said and obeyed the order, turned around and walked away quickly.
Now, the inside and outside Fuzhou City were in trouble. The Governor actually sent Jinyiwei and elite troops to take people everywhere, without giving these local tyrants any face.
Will these local snakes surrender?
Of course they didn't want to surrender, but they couldn't surrender without surrender. The people who came to arrest people were not ordinary yamen runners, but the elite Jinyiwei and the Tunwei.
Those officials, commanders and craftsmen are at most relatives of ordinary gentry, how dare they fight against the Jinyiwei?
Although the commanders and commanders, although they had some people under the Qianhu, compared with the well-equipped elite troops of the Tunwei, they were nothing. They could not resist.
After a burst of noise, the relevant officials, commanders, craftsmen, guard commanders, thousands of households, and the water camp generals were arrested and "received" one by one and escorted to the lobby of the Tijuan.
Yang Cong didn't say anything, but sat there and waited coldly until the middle of the lobby was full of people. Chen Lian and Yu Dayou came to make a deal. He picked up the gavel, patted hard, and then sternly said: "You are so brave, you dare not even listen to the orders of this official. Who gave you the courage?"
There was no reply from the following. Although they were tied up and could not move, there was no fear on their faces.
The Governor of Zhejiang is an amazing high-ranking official, but it is still a little worse than Yan Song, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. They are all registered imperial officials, not pirates and pirates. What can Yang Cong do to them?
What can Yang Cong do to them?
Of course, this is not something that Yang Cong can do whatever he wants. The Ming Dynasty had a law, and even the governor had to act according to the law.
Seeing that the people below were not silenced, Yang Cong picked up the gavel and slapped hard. Then he said sternly: "According to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty. Official Law", any officials who make trouble, resist, or falsely accused him of Shangguan will be regarded as disobedient Shangguan. Those who are indifferent will be 50 sticks and demoted to common people. Those who are in great love will be 80 sticks and will be sent as border guards as military commanders! I think you are the first offender, so I will regard them as being slight. Come on, drag all these traitors who disobey Shangguan and beat them up to 50 big boards!"
Damn, you dare!
As soon as he finished speaking, a bunch of people below howled.
"You are abuse of lynching. Who said we have disobeyed Shangguan!"
"One of the surname Yang, don't think you can cover the sky with your hands!"
"You dare to be so lawless, Lord Yan will not let you go!"
......
For a moment, the entire court was drowned by howlings, but Yang Cong turned a deaf ear.
Humph, even you shrimp soldiers and crab generals dare to be arrogant in front of me, so I will use you to kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
Soon, the group of people were dragged out by the Jinyiwei who flocked in, and pressed to the ground and beaten.
For a moment, the entire Tijuan yamen was drowned again by screams.
Chapter completed!
