Chapter 3 Selection (2)

Fujian's deputy envoy Huang Qu shrank in his leather robe, and Ling Ling shivered.

In troubled times, it is difficult to be a courtier who chooses the lord and serves. Even if a person like Huang Quji, who claims to be good at sizing up the situation, sometimes he is very confused in his heart. Back then, he relied on the sycophants of Jia Yidao to get lucky. After the fall of Jia Yidao, he took refuge in Chen Yizhong with his keen political sense. Although as a part-time general, he has been defeated repeatedly, but this does not prevent him from becoming an official all the way.

If it weren't for Wen Tianxiang, with the speed of promotion that year, Huang Quji could guarantee that he could be promoted to the privy deputy envoy before the fall of the Great Song Dynasty, and surrender to the Northern Yuan with dignity as the deputy prime minister, and the generous Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan would definitely grant him a civil position equivalent to that of the prime minister. Although the Great Yuan was established at the beginning of the year, there were a lot of more than a dozen prime ministers, but after all, with the name of the prime minister, he could glorify his ancestors.

But since he met Wen Tianxiang, all opportunities have been disturbed by this stubborn scholar. He actually asked himself to lead his army north to resist the enemy. Are the Mongol soldiers so easy to provoke, Huang Quji still remembers the encounter with the Northern Army on the outskirts of Hangzhou, and more than 10,000 people under his command were killed by more than 3,000 enemy troops. It was when the Mongols had just crossed the Yangtze River and were not adapted to the terrain of the water network in the south of the Yangtze River.

So, Lord Huang wisely and decisively led his troops to abandon the "dark" and vote for the "bright", pulled the general Wu Jun, and dedicated Tingzhou to the Northern Yuan. Who would have thought that there were too many Song generals under the Northern Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan, who were too guarded, and it was not uncommon. He actually sent a eunuch to ask, "Why did you descend to Yiye?" Fortunately, Huang Quji was prepared and replied appropriately, "Jia seems to be a dictatorship, and every good gift scribe and light military minister, and the ministers have been uneven for a long time, so they want to send money." ”

When Kublai Khan heard this, he sent Zhongshu Zuo Cheng to reprimand, saying, "It seems that the Tao is really light on you, and it is especially like the fault of one person, so why should your lord be responsible!" Just as you say, it seems that the way is light and you are good! "Isn't this a direct slap in the face, Jia Rudao despises everyone, it should be, if he knew this, Huang Quji would never surrender so late.

"Ahh Huang Qujian sneezed, tears and snot flowing downward. Shao Wujun is located in the mountains, which is not as warm as the climate in Tingzhou. Thinking about his thoughts, he felt more and more cold with remorse. The brazier made of white copper, filled with fine charcoal, still could not suppress the chill in the air.

Knowing that Wen Tianxiang would retreat into Wuyi Mountain, Huang Quji would not have followed Ye Te Mishi to Shaowu. The original plan was to follow behind the Mongols and make some war exploits, so that the people in the court who looked down on them would be impressed, and by the way, they would get a vote between the gold and silver mines in Shaowu, so that they could deal with their bosses in the future. Who knows, after the reckless man of Ye Te Mishi defeated Shao Wu, he was busy copying the nest of the Great Song Dynasty, ran away with the Mongolian soldiers, and appointed him Lord Huang as the governor of the new annexed army to take care of the Mongols.

Is this so good-looking? Wen Tianxiang is in Baizhang Ridge, today he sent troops to attack Jiangyuan, tomorrow he will harass Jianning, thousands of soldiers and horses are ghostly, as if they have wings, and they will retreat with one blow. Jiangyuan Silver Field, Jianning Gold Field, in the past few months, all places that can produce gold and silver have been copied by literary maniacs. Not only did it hurt the guards of Tingzhou and Shaowu to lose a lot of money, but it also dragged the imperial court to be angry, and issued an order to reprimand the officials on Fujian Road to expropriate and suppress the remnants of the bandits. He ordered Wang Jiweng, the governor of Fujian, to quickly enter the mountain and quell the remnants of the Ministry of Education.

Baizhangling is within the jurisdiction of Shao Wujun. A group of soldiers and generals pushed back and forth, and the heavy task of exterminating Wen Tianxiang fell on Huang Quji's shoulders. Thinking about the face of Fujian Governor Wang Jiweng when he assigned the task, Huang Quji felt a headache. Even the blind could see that this guy surnamed Wang was gloating. Last year, Zhang Shijie attacked Quanzhou, and he sent people to the Song army to secretly communicate with him, and was participated by Liu Shen, the deputy marshal of the Han army. There is no place for an evil fire, and whoever is caught will be sent to the fire pit. On this Fujian road, in addition to Pu Shougeng, it is Huang Qujian who poses a big threat to his Wang Jiweng's future. Therefore, knowing that Huang Quji didn't have the courage to pick up Wen Tianxiang's tiger whiskers, Wang Jiweng still ordered Huang Quji to eliminate the bandits within three months.

"Alas, it's hard for the second minister," Huang sighed and put the handstove on the sandalwood bookcase. The clever maid hurriedly ran forward, wiped the hand stove of Lord Huang, put it away, and replaced it with a pot of fragrant tea to quench the adult's thirst.

"Go down, let the master bring General Wang and General Li to discuss the way to fight the enemy", Huang Qu waved his hand and repelled the busy maid and scholar. After thinking about it, this matter of entering the mountains to suppress bandits still has to be arranged, and now it is no better than at the beginning, seeing that the Great Song Dynasty is about to run out of oil and dry up, and the new annexed army is already a chicken rib for the imperial court. If it doesn't play a role in deterring the locality, who knows what Kublai Khan will do if he doesn't show mercy? Conquering Annan, transferring to Yungui, or sending Japan as a substitute for the dead ghost soldiers, there will be no good results anyway. Huang Quji, who has always had a keen sense of smell, knew from the recent series of actions and personnel arrangements of the Great Yuan Dynasty that the Yuan Dynasty was preparing to rectify these hundreds of thousands of horses, so as not to raise tigers.

"My lord, you are looking for us", the curtain of the door was raised, and a cold wind blew in, which made Huang Qujian sneeze several times in succession. Wang Shiqiang, the commander of the army who rushed into the lobby, saw Huang Qu's embarrassed appearance, and felt reckless, standing at the door with his hands crossed, neither entering nor retreating.

"Come in, ahh In the eyes of the generals, Lord Huang has always been a good official, generous in his attributes, and he knows how to share his wealth with the soldiers. If it weren't for the battlefield, after following such a boss, life would be very mixed. Therefore, the generals under Huang Quji also have a close relationship with him, and they usually call them brothers and sisters, and they can't see the difference in positions.

"Yes, Lord Xie", Wang Shiqiang bowed respectfully, walked sideways into the lobby, and his eight-foot-tall body dodged and pasted to the edge of the white copper charcoal basin, looking particularly weak. He is a native of Fujian, white, rich, and always has a childlike smile on his face. It was originally a good look, but the eyes of the people were dodgy, as if they had just eaten dog meat.

Although it is the most despised new annex army among all arms, the generals also pay attention to each other's factions, Wang Shiqiang was not originally a subordinate of Huang Qiji's lineage, and was promoted to the new annex army by virtue of his meritorious service of breaking Fu'an twice as a guide for the Mongols. At the beginning of the Mengyuan Dynasty, the official order had not yet been determined, and the official ranks of the Jin, Xia, and Song kingdoms were mixed, and more than a dozen prime ministers were sealed. For the Song generals who came to surrender, they were often appointed as governors, and the low-level generals were even more capped. Wang Shiqiang's position in 10,000 households is not valuable, and he was born in the army, so he can't write poetry or literature, so he can't be accommodated by Wang Jiweng, a general who was born as a magistrate in the new attached army, so he had to follow Huang Quji.

Seeing that Lord Huang was so polite to himself today, Wang Shiqiang's heart struck a few times one after another. The originally white face was facing the brazier, but it was baked a little blue-gray.

Huang Quji held the teacup, sighed faintly, and asked in a heartfelt tone: "Shiqiang, we have been working together for almost a year, since you entered my door, how have you been treated!"

Listening to the words of his boss, Wang Shiqiang knew that he still couldn't escape the catastrophe for a long time, his scalp was numb, but his mouth brought out a bit of martial arts courage, "The grace of knowing the encounter, like reconstruction, the governor has the order to take care of his own orders, come in the wind, go in the rain, and the last general will not frown", while saying, he wanted to kneel down to show his loyalty, but he didn't forget to add a sentence, "However, my lord, now that the Spring Festival is approaching, it is really unlucky for Layue to send troops."

"Get up, get up, Bendu will ask you a few words, and it's not for you to lead the troops to fight the Wen madman now", Huang Quzhi stretched out his hands and hugged Wang Shiqiang, who was half a head taller than himself. There is no need to ask, he also knows that Wang Shiqiang does not dare to lead his troops to deal with Wen Tianxiang, if this guy in front of him is a responsible master, he will not willingly lead the Mongols to attack his hometown. But Huang Quji also has the difficulties of Huang Quji, with more than 20,000 horses and more than a dozen generals, most of whom followed him to the Yuan in Tingzhou, and they were all used to be Wen Tianxiang's old department. Let these people go to conquer Baizhangling, without sending troops, they lost three points in momentum, and then there are really one or two reckless men who were inspired by Wen Tianxiang's personality charm to play a pre-battle uprising, and the team under his command collapsed. The team collapsed, and as the new governor of the attached army, Huang Quji had no capital to negotiate with the Mongols. I'm afraid that the next end is to act as an envoy to persuade him to surrender and give Wen Tianxiang a sacrificial knife. There are several living examples from the previous ones, the general Wu Jun, and the prefect of Fu'an, Wang Gangzhong, these people who have no soldiers in their hands are dispensable chicken ribs in the eyes of the Mongols. appointed a position as a negotiator, sent to the Song camp, and was hacked to death by the guards, which not only saved a fortune, but also eliminated hidden dangers.

Wang Shiqiang's eyes swept over the face of his boss, and he made sure that Huang Quji was not like comforting himself, so he stood up along the boss's hand, wiped away the tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes and the sweat on his forehead, and said in a choked voice, "If the adult insists that the last general will go to the mountains to die, the last general is also willing to serve the adult." I'm afraid that the last general will not be able to kill Wen Tianxiang, but will disperse the forces of our army, and will be in the middle of the plan to deal with them one by one."

"Hey", Huang Qujian let out a long sigh again, the current situation is really embarrassing, facing thousands of bandits, he is holding an army of 20,000, but it has become a defensive position. "Shiqiang, the governor of Pontus also knows your difficulties, but you should also understand that if we don't take some action, the court will take action against us. We thought that it was unlucky for Layue to raise troops, but the Mongols didn't believe it......."

"There is a way for the general, please make a decision", the door curtain snapped, and a strong man with a big waist walked in. Wearing a big Song Dynasty crown, but wearing a Mongolian fur hat, it looks nondescript. It seems that this person and Huang Quji have a good relationship with each other, and they are not familiar with each other before they get started.

Huang Quji turned around in surprise and saw his henchmen Li Xing, Zhang Yuan, and Huang Tianhua walking in one after another. It was Li Xing who offered advice through the curtain just now, Huang Quji's sworn brother, and a thief. When he was edicted to go to King Lin'anqin, he was arranged by Chen Yizhong under Huang Quji, and he was the only general in the Huang Department who could go into battle and fight.

"Hongyuan, what can you do, hurry up and talk to my brother", Huang Qujian saw Li Xing, and immediately changed Fu Jianghu's face, and his words were full of enthusiasm.

"The imperial court ordered us to settle down, and we didn't necessarily cut off Lord Wen's head. It is difficult to defeat Wen Tianxiang, so that he will no longer come to Fujian to cause chaos for everyone, but it is easy"? Li Xing arched his hand at Huang Qu, and seemed confident about repelling Wen Tianxiang.

"General Li, please speak, please speak", Wang Shiqiang was so happy that he almost jumped up, stepped forward and grabbed Li Xing's hand.

Li Xing, the commander of the thousand, was obviously not accustomed to Wang Shiqiang's enthusiasm, so he pulled out his hand, wiped it on his leather armor, and said to Huang Quji: "Since the battle of Taiping Yinchang, the governor has heard that Lord Wen has harassed Jiangnan West Road."

"No, this is really strange, it stands to reason that there are fewer soldiers in the Jiangxi Jianwu Army, and it is a place familiar to the Wen madman, he should fight north, and there is no reason to stare at our place." Huang Quji replied hesitantly, and by the way corrected Li Xing's neglect of place names. According to the decree of the Great Yuan, Jiangnan West Road has been renamed Jiangxi, Li Xing is a rough person, open his mouth and close his mouth, Jiangnan West Road, etc., so it is extremely easy to get into trouble.

"It's not like I'm looking at our Shaowu's silver and gold mines, that Wen madman has been a bandit since the defeat of Jiangxi, not much better than Chen Hangyan", Huang Quji's own brother Huang Tianhua snorted angrily. Wen Tianxiang's general Xiao Mingzhe attacked Jianning Jinchang and killed the officials sent by Huang Quji, causing the Huang family to lose a large amount of money. Huang Tianhua's flesh hurt more than once, although he didn't have the courage to go to war with Wen Tianxiang, he still had a lot of courage to scold a few times in private.

"Don't argue, don't argue, listen to Hongyuan's words", Huang Quji waved his hand to stop his brothers from continuing to make a fool of himself, so that love would continue to explain the mystery of Wen Tianxiang's refusal to fight the Jianwu Army.

"The last general heard that the Jianwu army secretly agreed with Lord Wen, and they let Kaiwen Tianxiang's old department go up the mountain, and put a batch of grain, grass and ordnance for Wen Tianxiang to send troops to "rob", so it was safe. I discussed with Zhang Yuan, we still have some savings in a few silver fields this year, so it is better to escort some of them to Marshal Liu Shen's army on Guangdong South Road. Li Xing lowered his voice and tried not to let the words reach outside the window, "Let's reduce the yuan, it's just because the Zhao family's luck is exhausted, and we want peace for ourselves in the troubled times." As long as you send someone to reveal a message to Lord Wen in private, tell him the escort route of the silver car and our intentions. Master Wen has collected the money, and with the salary to go down the mountain to support the imperial court, he will definitely not come to fight our Shao Wu again."

"No", Huang Tianhua was the first to jump up, and the Persian ring on his hand clanged. The gold mine was robbed by the Ministry of Culture, which already made him feel distressed, and he heard that Li Xing was going to send another sum of money to Wen Tianxiang to "make a trip", of course a hundred were not happy. "We have a lot of soldiers, how can we be afraid of him as a madman. Lao Tzu will spend a lot of money to recruit warriors today, and see if he is a literary madman, or if there are more warriors in our Huang family's army"!

shouted at Huang Tianhua, Huang Qujian turned a deaf ear. I have read a lot of books as a brother of my own family, and I have also applied for the imperial examination, but I can't see anything in my heart except gold and silver. What Li Xing said made sense, instead of fighting hard with Wen Tianxiang's people, Wang Jiweng and others took the opportunity to annex their own family. It is better to give up some money and let the Ministry of Culture and Culture enter Guangnan East Road. With Wen Tianxiang's original habit, he would not let the imperial court be driven to the sea by the Yuan army. After entering Guangdong, whether it was the madman Wen copying the back road of Dachun, or cutting off Liu Shen's grain road, it should be a headache for Liang Xiongfei, the governor of Guangdong's new annexed army, and it has nothing to do with Shaowu in Fujian.

Several generals who knew the army looked at each other, and they all understood that Li Xing's method was the safest way to solve the problem. Everyone only wants peace, as for the rogue, since he wants to flow, who can predict his next move?
