Chapter 1536: Dismount?
History is a very magical thing, it can exist in many forms and be passed on to future generations, maybe it is official history, maybe it is romance, or it may just be a folk legend......
In commentaries such as "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Xue Rengui's Expedition to the East", "Xue Gang's Anti-Tang Dynasty" and other commentaries that have been widely circulated and made the audience fascinated, one of the most powerful generals after the founding of the Tang Dynasty was Xue Rengui, his son Xue Dingshan and grandson Xue Gang later inherited his career, and the Xue family also became the pillar of the Tang Dynasty.
was suppressed when Xue Rengui first debuted, and he was just a small fire leader. Because his boss is called Zhang Shigui, this person is jealous and jealous, and his heart is like a snake and scorpion, suppressing and framing Xue Rengui everywhere. Xue Rengui wore a white robe, and Zhang Shigui asked his son-in-law He Zongxian to also wear a white robe, and all kinds of contributions of Xue Rengui were taken by He Zongxian. Later, when he found out that the matter was exposed, he wanted to get rid of Xue Rengui. After failing to succeed, he rebelled and rebelled, and was finally defeated and executed.
Therefore, Zhang Shigui has also become a traitor who everyone has been punished by the people, and even ranks as one of the four traitors along with Qin Hui, Zhao Gao, and Yan Song......
Of course, Fang Jun knows that the real history is not like that, and the Yang family will turn Pan Meihei, the founder of the Northern Song Dynasty, into a traitor who betrays the country for glory and persecutes loyalty. said that the Tang series also turned the famous generals Zhang Shigui and Su Lie in the early Tang Dynasty into shameless villains who engaged in intrigues and tricks all day long. In the story of Bao Gong, a generation of famous ministers Pang Ji was blackened into a traitor who controlled the government and bent the law for personal gain...... It's all just romance.
However, it is precisely these romances that have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people because they have spread for a long time, but they have made some people who are not familiar with history preconceived, and I have to say that they are indeed a little wronged for these people.
However, history is more confused, who is black, who is white, and who is gray, and where can it be easily distinguished?
*****
Zhang Shigui has passed the sixtieth year this year, and it stands to reason that people of this age can be regarded as long-lived elders among the folk ancients, but they are not old for high-ranking officials and dignitaries who are pampered. Zhang Shigui also looks strong and burly, but compared to when Fang Jun and him first met two years ago, the gray beard shows his aging state.
At the gate of the right-tun guard barracks outside the Xuanwu Gate, Fang Jun, who came to take up his post, saw Zhang Shigui riding a horse and was already waiting here accompanied by several subordinates, so he quickly turned over and dismounted, took two steps forward and hugged his fists and said, "Why is the Duke of Yu here?" ”
Zhang Shigui smiled on horseback: "You came to the right camp with this mallet, if the old man doesn't come to the scene to suppress this group of arrogant soldiers, won't you demolish this barracks?" ”
Fang Jun was a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Why is the Duke of Yu so ridiculous? It's just that the personality is a little impulsive, and it makes you laugh. ”
"Impulsive? Hehe......"
Zhang Shigui laughed, jumped off the horse, and the subordinates behind him also dismounted one after another.
"Outsiders say that Fang Erlang is a mallet, but he is blinded and does not see Mount Tai. What kind of mallet in the world can accumulate the wealth of the world and win the name of a god of wealth, but at the same time, can still put pen to paper to determine the country and go to the country? Don't tell lies in front of real people, your set of things will be restrained for the old man as soon as possible, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of the old man. ”
Zhang Shigui said in his mouth, stepped forward, hammered Fang Jun's shoulder with a smile, nodded and praised: "What a sturdy body, where is the slightest bit of the weakness of the Wenchen family?" Do a good job, don't waste the painstaking work that the old man has put in recommending you to His Majesty to take over. The tens of thousands of Erlang in the right camp, the old man will be handed over to you, don't let them hold their heads up in front of their colleagues in the Sixteenth Guard! ”
Fang Jun was stunned.
Feeling that his position as the general of the Right Tunwei was actually recommended by Zhang Shigui to His Majesty Li Er? I still think that this title is a decision made by His Majesty Li Er in order to compensate for "snatching" the supermarket from his son.
Damn, His Majesty Li Er is too treacherous......
Following Zhang Shigui into the barracks, Fang Jun was still slandering in his heart, and after this incident, the tall and perfect image of His Majesty Li Er quietly collapsed in Fang Jun's mind...... As an emperor, you still have to act like this, do you want to be ashamed?!
Zhang Shigui was dressed in civilian clothes, walking in front with his hands in his hands, and Fang Jun was slightly behind one body to show respect.
Zhang Shigui looked at the surrounding tent houses, as well as the towering Xuanwu Gate tower and the towering palace wall not far away, his eyes showed a faint reluctance, and he said in a sighing tone: "In the ninth year of Wude, the old man set off here and accompanied His Majesty to enter the court through the Xuanwu Gate, and experienced that battle...... After His Majesty changed the Yuan Zhenguan, the old man was entrusted with the head of the Xuanwu Gate, guarding the Xuanwu Gate Su Guard Palace, and entrusting the right camp to the old man. Once upon a time, the old man also wanted to guard the Xuanwu Gate for His Majesty all the time, and he did his best to die...... It's a pity that the battle in the past made the body injured everywhere, and this year it was the old arrow sore, and I almost lost my old life. The old man is not greedy for his life, but where can he still bear the heavy responsibility of guarding the palace with such a body and bones? If you neglect your duties, you will die......"
It is impossible for someone who is familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty not to know the importance of Xuanwumen.
And Zhang Shigui was able to suppress Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong and other famous generals to get the heavy responsibility of guarding the Xuanwu Gate, which is equivalent to His Majesty Li Er handing over his net worth and life to Zhang Shigui.
Of course, the troops guarding the Xuanwu Gate are not only the right camp, but also another unit stationed not far away, the left camp, and the commander of the left camp is the general of the left tun guard, Chai Zhewei, the prince of the state of Qian......
On the field of the colonel, the soldiers of the right camp were already standing in line.
A few days ago, he had already received the holy decree of the general of the Right Tun Guard, but he was no stranger to the name Fang Jun in the whole army, but there were few people who really knew Fang Jun. The left and right camps are different from the rest of the fourteen guards, most of the soldiers are recruited, and there are almost a few children of meritorious families......
At this moment, the soldiers stared at the sturdy figure who followed Zhang Shigui's side with burning eyes, most of them nodded secretly, looking heroic, not a gentleman who only knew how to walk dogs and tease chickens, supplemented by all the things he had heard, he was a little relieved.
Of course, those who are not convinced are essential......
Zhang Shigui took Fang Jun to the platform, looked at the neat queue and familiar faces in front of him, couldn't suppress the ups and downs of his heart, and said in a low voice: "These sons and daughters will be handed over to Erlang in the future, and the old man will do his best to guard the palace in the future, Erlang must not let a certain person down." ”
Although the post of general of the right guard was handed over to Fang Jun, the post of head of the Xuanwu Gate was still there, and he gave up leading the army in the future and devoted himself to serving as the "commander of the guard" of His Majesty Li Er......
Fang Jun is full of confidence, and it's not the first time to lead troops, so there is no difficulty at all, right?
"But please rest assured, the court and the Chinese government all know that the Duke of Qiu is generous and benevolent, and loves soldiers like a son, but they don't know that a certain Fang Jun is not far behind! Whether it was the original Shenji Battalion or the Royal Sailor later, which soldier is still thinking about our benefits to this day? When it comes to leading troops to fight, a certain is naturally invincible compared to the Duke of Qiu, but when it comes to logistics and heavy food treatment, who can compare to a certain Fang Jun's troops? In a word, if you want money, food, and weapons, it won't take two years, and the right camp will inevitably become the leading strong army among the sixteen guards! ”
Zhang Shigui looked at the high-spirited Fang Jun, smiled, and affirmed his seemingly unsuccessful words.
As Fang Jun said, whether it is the Shenji Battalion or the Royal Water Division, no matter how prickly the soldiers are also convinced!
Let's ask, in the entire army of the Tang Dynasty, which one of them was able to send the ashes of the fallen soldiers to their parents and relatives one by one by the generals in the army after the war, so that the souls could return to their homeland and bury their bones? What unit can pay more than the bereavement pension to the disabled soldiers in the army, and open up farms to properly resettle them?
Only Fang Jun!
Zhang Shigui smiled and encouraged, then turned to face the soldiers, looked around with his eyes, and said loudly: "This commander will step down from the post of general of the right guard today, and His Majesty will be appointed by His Majesty, and will be succeeded by Fang Jun, the left attendant of the military department!" So far, you don't need to strictly abide by military orders and obey absolutely, just like this commander at this time! If anyone dares to disobey the yang and the yin, he will definitely engage in military law, and he will not tolerate mercy! ”
This is the proper meaning of the question.
Generally speaking, whether an official or a military general, since he has stepped down, he should quietly walk away and make way for his successor. If the successor has interests with him or simply wants to help him get on the horse and give him a ride, then he will be like Zhang Shigui, supporting the successor and paving the way for the successor to take office with his prestige.
Fang Jun was very satisfied with Zhang Shigui's help and support, and was about to give a guarantee in front of the generals, when he saw a general in the front row of the array with a helmet and armor step forward and said loudly: "Dashuai, it's not that we disobey the emperor's orders, but just send such a yellow-mouthed son to oppress us, and we are not convinced!" ”
"Not convinced!"
"Not convinced!"
When the rest of the soldiers saw that someone jumped out to make trouble, they immediately made a noise, and for a while, the sound of "dissatisfaction" resounded throughout the school field, and even the forbidden army guarding the tower of Xuanwu Gate in the distance looked at it curiously.
Fang Jun didn't speak, just calmly looked at the agitated army in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Softly using a volume that only Zhang Shigui could hear, he sighed helplessly: "What, Duke Yu Guogong wants to give us a dismount and test our own quality?" ”
With Zhang Shigui's prestige, he didn't believe that without Zhang Shigui's approval and acquiescence, someone would dare to jump out and provoke himself at such a time!
It's just that since his position as a general was recommended by Zhang Shigui, why did he instruct others to jump out and provoke him at this time?
Contradicting yourself......
