Why is Yang Cong so sure that he can deal with Lin family in Zhangpu and Chen family in Longxi this time?

It's very simple, because he has a killer weapon.

He held 60,000 heavy troops in his hand, which was no joke.

Of course, 60,000 heavy troops were not his trump card. Now the court is still advocating the rules. It is impossible for him to rely on the 60,000 troops to do whatever he wants and deal with him.

The key is that the food and wages for these 60,000 heavy troops were paid. Even merchants like Yang Rong knew that the consequences of the 60,000 troops cut off the food and wages. Jiajing, who became the emperor, was naturally even more clear.

He knew very well that Jiajing would definitely not do anything to him at this moment, because once he stepped down, the food and salary of the 60,000 troops would be suspended, not to mention that there was a plan to build warships later, which would also require a lot of money. Unless Jiajing did not want to completely wipe out the pirates and Japanese pirates, he would definitely not attack him at this time.

This is his confidence. How can he spend more than 2 million taels in vain this year? Who can take on such a big stall?

He calculated that Jiajing would definitely be afraid, so he played with the evil man to complain first. When he caught Lin Changshui, he submitted a memorial and sued Lin Changshui.

However, he did not involve any pirates or Japanese pirates. He sued Lin Changshui for corruption, and the contract signed by Lin Changshui with him was evidence.

What a joke, a Cangshan boat cost only about one thousand taels to death. If you count off the profits and other expenses, it will only be one thousand five hundred taels to death. Lin Changshui actually said that only nine Cangshan boats can be built for 20,000 taels of silver. This guy was greedy for six or seven thousand taels in one hand!

Who dares to let such a person continue to be the Nantai Shipyard?

Of course, the main purpose of his memorial was not to report to Lin Changshui, but to point out to Jiajing that to completely eliminate pirates and Japanese pirates, two hundred and fifty Cangshan ships and two hundred and fifty centipede ships must be built. He did not make it clear who would pay for the shipbuilding. Jiajing must have understood that the money was paid by him, and five hundred warships cost at least 400,000 taels.

Before this memorial was passed to the capital, he arrested all the officials, commanders, craftsmen, guard commanders, thousands of households, and water villages, and beat them up, and then demoted them to common people.

Next, he also complained first and sued these people.

This time, he was not so polite. His finger was pointed directly at the Lin family of Zhangpu and Chen family of Longxi, and he said that these people joined forces to secretly control the Nantai Shipyard and disobeyed his orders, hoping to prevent him from creating a warship.

Of course, he was not a false accusation. This was a fact. He had sufficient evidence. He did not leave any of the confessions of the craftsmen and handed over them all. This was enough to prove that the craftsmen in the Nantai Shipyard were instructed and did not come to work.

What a joke, what are the seventh grade, eighth grade, ninth grade, and even the understated minor officials dare not obey his orders, the super first-grade governor. Is there any other kingly law?

He would definitely not be convinced by the wealthy maritime businessmen. He was slamming his big ears and slandering them in the face. It would be strange if they could be convinced.

His first memorial was passed to the capital, and Zhao Wenhua couldn't sit still.

Zhao Wenhua of course knew the importance of Nantai Shipyard. It was one of the important means for their maritime merchants to control their maritime merchants and one of the important means for their maritime merchants to make money. If Yang Cong was "occupied", how could that be possible!

He ran to find Yan Song that night, wanting to ask Yan Song to come forward, deal with Yang Cong, and take back control of the Nantai Shipyard.

However, this matter is quite troublesome, because Yan Song is quite clear that although this matter is a big deal for the maritime merchants, it is a small matter for the court. What a joke? A governor is going to clean up a small seventh-ranked proposition. What's more, there is conclusive evidence that such a thing is going to cause trouble, so why do you make trouble?

It’s not a vegetable market in the court, so it’s okay to use any trivial matters to make a noise.

Yan Song was still hesitating, and Yang Cong's second memorial was here again.

This is not a trivial matter. Those officials, commanders, craftsmen and other things are fine. They are only seventh-rank, and these people are only eight or nine-rank ranks to die. Many of them are still not in the ordinary. It is okay for Yang Cong to deal with these people, but the commander of the guards, thousands of households, and the water camp officers are not good. Although these are all military officers, they are also officials of the fifth-rank or even the third-rank. They can't be easily dealt with.

This is not the point. The point is that Yang Cong is clearly attacking the face of a wealthy maritime business family and establishing his own prestige. If he is not suppressed, wouldn’t the Southeast become the world of this guy?

Yan Song also knew that he could not hesitate or indulge him at this time, so he immediately discussed with Zhao Wenhua and began to mobilize his followers to impeach Yang Cong.

They unanimously impeached Yang Cong for personal gain, acted indiscriminately, and were lawless, and once again asked the court to send the censor to inspect the Fujian government and investigate the truth.

If they were really successful, although Yang Cong might not have been so angry that he committed suicide like Zhu Wan, at least, it would be difficult to save the position of governor.

However, this time is different from last time.

Last time, Zhu Wan was indiscriminate. She caught the maritime merchants under the maritime merchants and killed countless people. Moreover, Zhu Wan also reported that the pirates had almost been wiped out by him. As a result, he just reported that the pirates in the southeast coastal areas were becoming more and more serious. Yan Song and the maritime merchants could use this "fact" to impeach Zhu Wan to kill the good and make a contribution.

However, this time, Yang Cong just demoted some officials who "disobeyed" him to common people. The nature is completely different. More importantly, Yang Cong wanted to pay for his own money to build warships for the court, not to fight for power and profit.

When Jiajing saw these memorials, hesitated, or was a little afraid, just like Yang Cong guessed.

What a joke? Check Yang Cong. What if Yang Cong was so angry that he gave up his job? Who will pay the 60,000 troops of food and salary, who will build 500 warships, where did the imperial court get so much money?

At this time, Jiajing still wanted to eliminate pirates and Japanese pirates, and Yang Cong did a good job in the southeast. Although pirates and Japanese pirates have not been wiped out yet, at least, pirates and Japanese pirates no longer dare to go ashore to rob, and the memorials of the coastal provinces have become less and less. I believe that it will take not long for the southeast coast to return to peace.

This is all because Yang Cong's original "suppression of Japanese weapons" was not a brag. Jiajing also believed that when Yang Cong built the warship, the pirates and Japanese pirates would definitely be gradually wiped out.

Those are five hundred brand new warships and 60,000 troops. It is not easy to destroy pirates and Japanese pirates. At this time, what a joke!

Besides, Jiajing didn't think that Yang Cong was using his power for personal gain, because he was not for personal gain at all. No one would pay hundreds of thousands of taels to build a ship, he would be afraid of being greedy by corrupt officials. It was reasonable for Yang Cong to withdraw all the people from the past and replace them with his own people. At most, he would be a little suspicious of abuse of power.

Therefore, Jiajing did not send the censor to investigate the "truth" as Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua hoped, but just issued an inquiry, asking Yang Cong to explain it well, so that he could have a way out.
