Hejian Province is located in Zhili, southeast of the capital, and is one of the eight provinces of North Zhili. The geographical location and strategic location of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info are very important for the Ming Dynasty.

Shen Shaoxian, the prefect of Hejian, is Wang Zhizheng's hardcore cronies and one of the local forces that Wang Zhizheng focuses on cultivating.

Arrived at Hejian Mansion, the prefect Shen Shaoxian had already led the bureaucrats of the whole government to wait outside the city gate for a long time.

Seeing the majestic Praetorian Guards of more than 6,000 people rushing to the earth, Shen Shaoxian was like a pardon and knew that the savior would descend to earth.

Wang Zhizheng's war horse walked to the outskirts of the city, Shen Shaoxian strode forward, he quickly took the reins of the horse, and personally helped Wang Zhizheng get off the horse.

As soon as Wang Zhizheng stood up, Shen Shaoxian immediately knelt on the ground with his robe and feet, and knelt down for Wang Zhizheng in front of the bureaucrats.

Shen Shaoxian shouted: "Humble Shen Shaoxian, welcome the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Lord Wang." ”

Wang Zhizheng laughed and said, "Lord Shen, hurry up and be exempted, quickly and be exempted." As he spoke, he was so sophisticated that he stretched out his hand to help Shen Shaoxian, who was kneeling on the ground, and then gave a false help to the officials at all levels: "All colleagues, please get up quickly!

Shen Shaoxian said with a smiling face: "Grand Commander, I heard that you came with the forbidden army all the way to the saddle horse and rushed to the army, it was really too hard, Xia Guan prepared a table of dishes, and the Grand Commander quickly followed me into the city to eat!"

Wang Zhizheng looked at Huang Zongxi and Wang Liangfu behind him, and ordered: "You two are camped outside the city with soldiers and horses, and you are not allowed to enter the city to disturb the people!"

When Shen Shaoxian heard this, he immediately said: "Oh, Great Commander, the Heavenly Master has come to Hejian Mansion to suppress the thieves, and the people of Hejian Mansion are welcome, where did you come from to disturb the people!

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "Lord Shen, it's not the first time you know me, the last time I came back from Suzhou, I only brought more than 100 people and I didn't want to let them enter the city, these 6,000 soldiers and horses entered the city, what a big disturbance it must be!"

Shen Shaoxian said sincerely: "Great Commander, if you let the sergeants set up camp outside the city, the gentry and people of Hejian Mansion will probably have to come to my prefect's yamen to make trouble, everyone is looking forward to the forbidden army to eliminate harm for the people, where will you be afraid that the sergeants will disturb the people!"

Shen Shaoxian said extremely sincerely, Wang Zhizheng was still hesitating, at this time, a gentry dressed as a member stood up and bowed down and said: "Great commander, Lao Yu is a third elder of this Hejian Mansion (a leader of the masses with high morality), on behalf of the whole people, welcome the brothers of the forbidden army into the city and set up camp!"

With that, the retinue of squires and officials in the back all chimed in.

Wang Zhizheng laughed and said: "It seems that it is really difficult to be gracious, then okay, enter the city!"

Wang Zhizheng gave an order, and the majestic Praetorian Guard soldiers lined up neatly and followed Wang Zhizheng, the commander on a war horse, into the city.

The welcome dinner was set up in the living room of the Yamen of the Hejian Governor's Mansion, and the main seat sat Shen Shaoxian, the prefect of the Hejian Prefecture, the prefect of the ten counties, and the twelve people Zhou Fengyi, the governor of the Hejian Prefecture.

The guests sat in turn Wang Zhizheng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Wang Liangfu, the commander of the Dadao Battalion, Huang Zongxi, the deputy commander of the Dadao Battalion, Chen Ting, Li Yanqing and others.

Shen Shaoxian raised his glass and said with a smile: "Grand Commander, since the last time I left the capital, I haven't seen the Grand Commander for three months, Shaoxian misses it very much in his heart, but he can't find time to go to Beijing to visit filial piety, today I salute this glass of thin wine, I hope that the Grand Commander will not care about the villain." ”

Wang Zhizheng looked at him and smiled slightly, raised his wine glass and didn't reply, and drank it all directly.

Zhou Fengyi, the governor of Hejian Mansion, saw that Wang Zhi was so bold and free, and he admired it in his heart, he stood up and bowed and raised his glass and said: "-Grand Commander, you are guarding the holy car in the capital, and you have to spare your energy to suppress bandits in Hejian, this is all because the lower officials are not doing things well, so you can bother, Zhou Mou toasted a glass of wine, hoping that the Grand Commander will not be deeply responsible." ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded, drank it all when he picked it up, and said with a smile: "The wine is really good wine, the burning knife of Hejian Mansion, I must drink it every day." ”

After saying that, he slammed the wine glass on the table and said coldly: "Li Kuilong has now fallen into the grass and become the head of the thief." I can forgive you for not being able to suppress thieves and fight him, but before Li Kuilong falls into the grass, you will actually lose your troops and lose your generals when dealing with a mere Wang Chang! Don't blame me for not being merciful and ignoring your face, but this disappoints me too much!"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Shaoxian, Zhou Fengyi, and the ten magistrates were all taken aback, but they didn't expect the general to be furious. They were so frightened that they all stood up, lowered their hands and bowed their heads, and did not dare to speak.

Wang Zhizheng looked at them, and did not let them sit down, but stared at them without speaking.

At this time, Wang Liangfu, who was beside Wang Zhizheng, said with a smile: "Shuai Ye, in my opinion, don't blame Lord Shen and them, after all, this group of rebels has thousands of people and horses, and it has become a climate, and there is no standing army in the local area, relying on the officers and soldiers who were temporarily formed and requisitioned, and they can't fight that group of bandits, which is not too unreasonable......

The officials of Hejian Mansion all cast grateful glances at Ryosuke, thinking, how can this Wang Zhizheng turn his face, he was still smiling just now, these big men in the capital are really terrible. Only Shen Shaoxian, the worm in Wang Zhizheng's stomach, understands that the master lost his temper in order to get off the horse. So he kept his head down and didn't say a word.

Wang Zhizheng was furious just now, but in fact, he was just giving the officials of Hejian Prefecture a dismount, so that the local authorities could cooperate well in the recent military operation.

Hearing that Ryosuke was pleading and giving everyone the steps down, he stood up and paced back and forth a few times, then turned to look at Shen Shaoxian: "Shen Shaoxian is my old friend, and I don't want to be unhappy with everyone, what Ryosuke said also makes sense, each has its own difficulties, okay, let's take a seat." Ben Shuai doesn't have a good temper, and slowly you get used to it. ”

Shen Shao bowed down and cautiously entered the seat, and the bureaucrats also followed cautiously.

Shen Shaoxian said with a face full of shame: "Great Commander, our Hejian Mansion has indeed disgraced the imperial court, although General Liangfu is reasonable, but it is also true that it is not good to suppress thieves. In this attack, we, Hejian Province, are willing to lead the team to be the vanguard force. ”

Wang Zhizheng stared at Shen Shaoxian and smiled: "Lord Shen, no need, I took these six thousand athletes, all of whom are the elite of the Praetorian Guard, and this time I came not only to arrest Li Kuilong, but also to level the bandit den of Stone Mountain in one fell swoop, and to restore stability to the people of Hejian Mansion." Your local officers and soldiers only need to do a good job of supplying food and grass, and you are not needed to fight a war. ”

Shen Shaoxian stood up and said solemnly: "Yes, the Great Commander, the lower officials must take the Hejian Mansion up and down to do a good job in supplying grain and grass to the Great Commander, and the Great Commander can fight with confidence." ”

Wang Zhizheng looked at Shen Shaoxian with satisfaction and praised: "Hahaha, I like smart people like Lord Shen who can get things done." ”

Shen Shaoxian listened to the praise of the master and was overjoyed.
