Chapter 124: Observing Politics by Order (3)
When Qin Cha saw the border ministers, one side had the power to make the moment, and the other side had the duty of guarding, so it was obvious that there was no need to have a polite greeting, which was a common practice and did not need to be repeated.
Gao Pragmatic is still very face-saving in front of the officials, except for polite words, he doesn't mention anything else, even if others go out to talk about it, he doesn't say anything, and puts on a look of "You just discuss and decide, I'll just listen to it casually".
However, if people in officialdom need to explain everything, it is too incompetent, in fact, many things do not need to be opened at all - observing words and expressions is really one of the basic skills of officialdom, which of the people present is not an expert in this area?
Therefore, although Gao Shishi did not say a word when listening to their conversation, everyone still found the answer they wanted from his demeanor. Of course, this is all a deliberate performance of high pragmatism to them.
Gao Pragmatism shows a total of three meanings: first, I and the people I represent are in favor of inviting Hannaji to surrender; Second, I attach great importance to the defense of Xuanda, especially in terms of weapons and equipment, which I pay special attention to and must personally inspect; The third is that I will have a meeting with Hannaji.
Of these three meanings, only the first one is complete good news for the officials of Xuanda.
The third article is only a little troublesome, after all, now that the governor and governor are here, this responsibility can still be afforded, and Hannaji will be put under "residential surveillance" with luxury house food, which is the first suggestion put forward by Gao Shishi, and it is normal for him to come and meet people in person, not to mention whether there is any meaning of the two lords in the palace here, it is not easy to say. Even if it wasn't what those two masters meant, even if it was the meaning of the high arch, it wouldn't be like a word for us to stop it.
The most troublesome is the second one. It stands to reason that when they come to inspect the defense, they usually sit down in Datong Jiancheng, and everyone takes out the map to compare and compare, how many soldiers are placed here, how many soldiers are placed there, and then they start to talk nonsense such as "well-equipped and well-fed". Occasionally, a shrewd cha may quietly leave a little bit of talk behind – boasting and making a little "good-natured criticism" of some obscure parts.
This criticism is not just a show, but in case there is a problem in the defense in the future, Qin Cha can use this to show his innocence: Your Majesty, you see, Weichen has not raised questions, it is really the border ministers and generals who take Weichen's words as the wind in their ears, and Weichen has been wronged!
And the border ministers and generals don't take this seriously, everyone can understand Qin Cha's move to leave a way back for himself, as long as Qin Cha doesn't go crazy on the spot, or directly pick up the pen and write the impeachment chapter, then everything will be easy to do.
But this method of high pragmatism is more of a headache, you say that he exceeded his authority, he did not exceed his authority, people just looked, they didn't accuse anything, how could they exceed their authority, "look" is not "watching politics"?
But there has always been a big problem with the ordnance of the Northern Army, and everyone knows this, so let Gao Pragmatic take a look, but I don't know what the reaction of this young and proud little pavilion elder will be.
This kind of worry is the most serious in Fang Fengshi, because he lacks the most understanding of Gao Pragmatic, so he is very worried about Gao Pragmatic's child's temper, seeing the poor quality of the ordnance, he will go crazy directly on the spot, then it will definitely make everyone's face look bad - although Deputy Envoy Gao has no right to manage things, but when he sees a bad incident, this matter may not be unreasonable even if he takes it back to Beijing, at least Gao Ge Lao will definitely be able to protect him.
Wang Chonggu is still calm, because he is Zhang Siwei's maternal uncle, and Zhang Siwei has repeatedly mentioned in his letters to his family that he is highly pragmatic and old-fashioned, thoughtful and so on. In addition, Wang Chonggu thinks that with the ability of Gao Gong, since he dares to let go of Gao Pragmatic, he must have his reason, so Governor Wang is basically not worried that something will happen at the moment, but he is not sure about the reaction of Beijing after Gao Pragmatic returns to Beijing to report on his work.
The most wide-hearted is the Datong town guard eunuch Huang Mengyu and Datong general soldier Ma Fang, this Huang Gonggong is the person promoted by Meng Chong Meng's palm seal last year, and it is obviously impossible to sing against Gao Gong's protégé and nephew. Huang Gonggong has already made up his mind, everything is decided by the two Qincha, and my old Huang just said that everything is based on the two Qincha horses.
Not to mention Ma Fang, Gao Pragmatic had already sent someone to explain the situation to him before he set off, so Ma Fang knew that the purpose of Gao Shi's reading here was to see how bad the ordnance of the Xuanda Border Army was, and then find a way to help them improve and improve the level of equipment.
Ma Fang's requirements are actually not high, as long as they can refer to the standards of the Southern Army under Qi Jiguang's command - speaking of which, Xuanda Erzhen is really honest, if they know that in a few decades, the Ming Dynasty will have to invest millions of dollars in Jiliao a year, and the ordnance and other materials cannot be calculated, but I am afraid that Lao Ma and these people will be so angry that they can crawl out of the grave and scold their mothers.
And although Ma Fang has a sympathetic side for Qi Jiguang, he also has an unconvincing side, according to Ma Fang's concept of the Northern Army, although the extermination of the Japanese is also a war achievement, but that war achievement is very watery, after all, the Japanese are only at the level of "Kou", and what is the Northern Prisoner? That is the remnants of Meng Yuan, the existence of the invincible opponent who fought all over the world back then! It was the First World War of Tumubao that defeated the existence of almost the entire Ming Dynasty noble military group!
And your Qi Jiguang's record of exterminating the Japanese is so brilliant, when you get to the side of the Northern Army, you don't have to annihilate them at every turn like in the south, right? It can be seen that Meng Yuanyu is obviously still at least one grade stronger than the Japanese Kou. Not to mention that you, Qi Jiguang, are not facing the strongest Tumo Chuan Department in the North right now!
Therefore, in Ma Fang's view, it is completely reasonable for Xuanda's equipment level to be raised to the same level as the Southern Army under Qi Jiguang.
After the polite words were spoken, the business that could be discussed in person was also roughly discussed, and Wang Chonggu arranged a banquet. Gao pragmatic relied on his young age, under the pretext of a tiring journey, avoided this wine, and took people to take the first step.
Anyway, the authority of this yamen has long been encroached upon by the governor, the governor and other yamen, and there has been nothing to do for many years, just vacant for the temporary residence of the Qincha.
However, Gao Pragmatic was not really in a hurry to come to Qin to rest in a hurry, he came to wait for someone.
Before the cup of strong tea was drunk, a family member came to report that Huang Mengyu, the eunuch guarding Datong Town, asked to see him.
Gao Pragmatic breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said that although Meng Chong, the great eunuch with palm prints, his level was average, but his ability to see people was okay, this Huang Zhenshou seemed to be mediocre, and he was a particularly easy to ignore everywhere, but in fact, his eyes were not bad, knowing that he didn't even go to the banquet just now, he must have something to understand, and he came over immediately.
