Chapter 317: Zhu Xianzhen

"It's a good court law, General Ding is for the overall situation of Henan, regardless of his own safety, to help the superintendent fight back the rogue, what's wrong? Finally repelled the Liukou, Hanguguan was safe and sound, and the Liukou in Kunzhou was also driven away, but you led people to hold Ding Zongbing accountable, what is your intention? This superintendent suspects that you have ulterior motives and want to deliberately disturb the overall situation of my Henan bandits! ”

As soon as Tie Mo spoke, he first buttoned Lin Jingze a big hat, which made Lin Jingze angry enough, "Supervisor, why did you say this?" This official is dedicated to his duties and loyal to the court, so why is he ill-intentioned? Besides, this is my Henan affairs, is the superintendent's management too wide? ”

"Presumptuous, as the governor of the three provinces, he has jurisdiction over the military affairs of the three provinces, how can he not ask about the affairs of Henan? Or is it that the matter of General Ding is not part of Henan's military affairs? ”

"You ......" Lin Jingze glared, pointed at Tiemo for a while, and couldn't say anything.

"Hmph, you dare to point at this Inspector" Tie Mo sneered and said angrily, "Come on, take Lin Jingze down and investigate carefully." ”

Lin Jingze's face became darker and darker, and he trembled and shouted: "The surname is Tie, you have no right to treat this official like this, this official is the political envoy of Henan, even if you want to investigate, it is also ordered by the Ministry of Officials, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises, you have no right to ....."

"Really?" Tie Mo didn't say a word, and raised the sword in his hand, "This superintendent has the sword of Shangfang given by His Majesty, as long as it involves the military affairs of Shanxi, Henan, and Nanzhili provinces, he can act cheaply, and he has the right to cut first and then play....."

"I ....."

Lin Jingze was suddenly dumbfounded, and almost fainted. It was Min Zhengyuan, Yu Chenglong and others, who originally wanted to persuade them, but they didn't know how to speak at this time. Everyone has taken out Shang Fang's sword, how can they persuade him?

Shang Fang Sword again, that is also Shang Fang Sword, representing His Majesty. Although in private, the officials may not really take the emperor seriously, but on the surface, no one dares to despise the imperial power, after all, this is the righteousness. Zhou Yi sighed secretly in his heart, Lin Jingze is finished, with Lin Jingze's actions over the years, he can't stand the investigation.

Not to mention Lin Jingze, but all the officials present, which one can withstand the investigation, it's just whether they want to check it or not.

It doesn't matter what happened to Lin Jingze in the end. The important thing is that everyone can see Tiemo's intentions clearly through this matter. Tiemo is to grasp the military affairs of Henan in his hands, in short, the iron superintendent has turned a blind eye to other things, but when it comes to the military affairs of suppressing bandits, he has to listen to the iron superintendent, otherwise, the iron superintendent will show the sword of Shangfang.

What the is this........

This is the dignified governor of the three provinces, the whole ** scoundrel, but this scoundrel is holding the sword of Shang Fang in his hand, sighing in vain?

Before Tiemo entered the city, he gave the officials in Henan a slap in the face, and the benevolent and the wise saw the wisdom of this matter, and everyone had different ideas. At least Ding Luyan, these generals in the army are still very happy, with iron and ink on top, at least they don't have to worry about being thrown out by civilian officials to carry mines in the future. Since the turmoil of the Ming Dynasty, under the accountability of the imperial court, most of the unlucky people are the generals in the army. Many times, everyone is very unconvinced, one side of the military and political affairs, the civilian officials do not participate? Why is it that accountability is only to find the leader of the troops, and to fight the war when he co-authors the bandits? Many times, there is nowhere to complain, because the Ming Dynasty is noble and cheap, which is a fact that cannot be changed.

In the chaos in Henan, the most worried people are not Yu Chenglong and Min Zhengyuan, but Ding Luyan and Li Zhengqian, who are all commanding generals. Why did Li Zhengqian respect him with his dignified command and make promises to Min Zhengyuan, and it was not because of this?

Some people are happy, naturally some people are unhappy, Yu Chenglong and Min Zhengyuan and others are not happy. I was looking forward to driving the rogue away as soon as possible, and at the same time sending away the plague god Tiemo, but after a long time, I don't know what happened to this guy. Just arrived in Luoyang, he took down a right political envoy, and after staying for a long time, I am afraid that the political secretary and the judge will all be unlucky.

Of course, Yu Chenglong still can't figure it out in his heart, even if he wants to find someone to operate, why does it have to be Lin Jingze, the right-hand political envoy? With strong doubts, Yu Chenglong led Tiemo and others into the city, as for the preparation of the reception banquet, it was exempted, at this time, who is still in the mood to have a good time with Tiemo?

Most of the officials have dispersed, which shows how much Henan officialdom has opinions on Tiemo. There are many people here who want to see the excitement and see how Tiemo ends. Although Lin Jingze was won, what crime should be charged? This is the political envoy of Henan's right cloth, a well-deserved feudal official, who is not handled well, but he will be angry.

At the beginning, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, and gave Mao Wenlong a charge of fornication. In short, there must be a plausible charge, and as for accepting bribes, if it is this crime, then there will be fun.

Corruption and bribery can be said to be a well-known thing, there are 100 people in the Ming officialdom, 99 are greedy, and the remaining one is pedantic and stubborn. Using this matter to convict Lin Jingze, I am afraid that the entire Ming officialdom will regard Tiemo as an outlier. If you talk about corruption at every turn, who will dare to be an official with you in the future?

Since the reign of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, there has been an unwritten rule in the officialdom that although one of the charges against officials is corruption, the fundamental reason for the downfall is definitely not because of greed, but because of something else. During his first term as an official, he was relatively unlucky, encountered natural and man-made disasters, and his political performance was miserable. Either stand on the wrong side and fall into officialdom, or the mind is impure and someone grabs the handle.

In the lobby of the mansion, Yu Chenglong looked at Tiemo with some complicated feelings, on the one hand, he needed to rely on the soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu to suppress bandits, and on the other hand, he had a lot of opinions on Tiemo to attack Lin Jingze without consultation. I was angry in my heart, and I didn't bother to remind me that Lin Jingze's matter, to what extent Tiemo could handle it, it depended on Tiemo's own. A fragrant tea, greeting for a moment, Yu Jackie Chan couldn't help but mention the matter of the Liukou, and when he mentioned the Liukou, his brows wrinkled.

"Overseer, I wonder what you're going to do next? Now most of the Ruzhou Mansion has fallen, and the rogue is arrogant. If there is no urgency, please ask the superintendent to rectify for a while, and send troops to Ruzhou as soon as possible, if it is too late, the lower officials are afraid that the situation will not be able to be cleaned up. ”

Yu Chenglong did not say this deliberately in order to urge Tiemo to send troops. He is really worried about the situation in Ruzhou Mansion, Ruzhou is not guaranteed, and the sound of the Liukou is powerful, which will inevitably radiate to the nearby Kaifeng and Henan Mansions, and then Henan will really be in chaos.

"Lord Yu, hearing you say this, the situation in Ruzhou Mansion is really so grim?" Tie Mo's heart was also a little nervous, could it be that something terrible happened in Ruzhou Mansion?

Sure enough, Yu Chenglong didn't hide it, and took out an official document from his sleeve, "Supervisor, please see, this is the military report I just received, Liukou Li Zicheng laid down Shenwu Mountain two days ago, and the soldiers continue to increase the number of troops in Shenwu Mountain, but so far, Liukou has not launched an attack on Ruzhou City." This matter is very strange, and the lower officials are afraid that the rogue has another conspiracy. ”

Tiemo carefully looked at the military newspaper in his hand, and had a somewhat impression of the place of Shenwu Mountain. It is located in the northeast corner of Ruzhou Prefecture, right on the border between Ruzhou Prefecture and Kaifeng Prefecture. If it is to attack Ruzhou City, it is enough to directly gather troops and horses, and attack hard head-on, so why gather heavy troops on Shenwu Mountain? This place has no effect on the city of Ruzhou.

Gradually, Tie Mo's heart sank, and the hand holding the official document couldn't help but tremble, and it took a while to raise his head and reveal a bitter expression, "Hey, Liukou Li Zicheng's troops gathered heavy troops in Shenwu Mountain, Bacheng is not to fight Ruzhou City, let alone to go north to Dengfeng, I think I came to Yuzhou, it seems that Liukou is no longer satisfied with a Ruzhou Mansion." ”

Yu Chenglong chuckled in his heart, the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground, and he lost his voice: "This ..... Rogue has such a big appetite? Ruzhou Mansion hasn't been beaten down yet, so you will do it against Kaifeng Mansion? ”

Tie Mo pursed his lips with disdain, and said with a wry smile: "Why can't you do anything to Kaifeng Mansion?" With the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses of Ruzhou Mansion, do you need to be afraid of the rogue? Yuzhou is the place where the official road is connected, extending in all directions, taking Yuzhou, you can directly attack Xuzhou and Tongxu to the east, and even try to open Feng. Doing so was indeed risky, as once the imperial army moved south, occupied the entire Ruzhou Prefecture, and recaptured the eastern prefectures and counties of Nanyang Prefecture, the troops and horses that entered Kaifeng Mansion would be under siege. However, the risks and benefits are equal, and others may not dare to do this, but Li Zicheng ..... Absolutely dare to ..... Therefore, Yuzhou can't keep ......"

Tie Mo said that before the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu had completed their assembly in the south of Luoyang, bad news came from the front line in the south. Liukou Li Zicheng gathered a large number of soldiers and horses in Shenwu Mountain, and after hiding for many days, he suddenly left Shenwu Mountain and attacked Yuzhou City. The soldiers and civilians of Yuzhou were only able to resist for half a day, and the city was occupied by the rogues.

After conquering Yuzhou, relying on the fortified city of Yuzhou, Li Zicheng quickly sent troops eastward, and several prefectures and counties such as Xuzhou and Changge near Lianke approached Zhuxian Town.

At this time, the sky in the Central Plains was once again covered with a thick layer of haze, especially in Kaifeng Mansion, which was completely anxious. Zhuxian Town is located in the south of Xiangfu County, less than fifty miles away from Kaifeng City. And Li Zicheng has a large number of cavalry under his command, and at the speed of the cavalry, the distance of fifty miles can pass in the blink of an eye. As long as Li Zicheng is willing, he can hit Kaifeng City within two hours.

What does this mean? It means that Kaifeng, the ancient capital of several dynasties, may encounter a tragic military disaster at any time after a hundred years of peace.

Min Zhengyuan, the prefect of Kaifeng, could still sit still, and hurriedly asked the commander to make Li Zhengqian return to Kaifeng and mobilize heavy troops to rush to Zhuxian Town. In short, no matter what, the Liukou can't be allowed to break through Zhuxian Town.

Min Zhengyuan would not pin his hopes on Li Zhengqian and sent Li Zhengqian away, he hesitated for a long time, but still came to the military camp in the south of the city. Whether or not the Liukou can be blocked in the south of Kaifeng depends on whether the Xuanfu border army is willing to contribute. Tiemo took down Lin Jingze before, which made everyone unhappy, and it was really embarrassing to come to the door for help at this time, but at this time, he couldn't care about his face.

Others can follow the iron and ink consumption, but Min Zhengyuan can't, if the situation in Kaifeng is erosive, he, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, is the first person responsible.

In the south of Luoyang City, the military camp of Nuoda is also a busy scene. Li Zicheng suddenly attacked Yuzhou, which was beyond Tiemo's expectations, and letting Li Zicheng become big would not benefit anyone. Compared with Gao Yingxiang, Tiemo is more afraid of Li Zicheng, and he has fought a few times in northern Shaanxi, and it can be seen that Li Zicheng is more courageous than Gao Yingxiang.

"Olge listens to the order, after a while, you take the troops and horses of your headquarters through Zhengzhou and go to Kaifeng Mansion, you must rush to Zhuxian Town as quickly as possible, in short, no matter what method you use, keep Zhuxian Town!"

Olge hurriedly got up, and after receiving the general's order, he asked in a loud voice: "Inspector, what if the Liukou retreats, no longer fights Zhuxian Town, and attacks other places?" ”

"What's this?" Tie Mo touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "As long as Liukou gives up Zhu Xian Town, you can rest in Zhu Xian Town for the time being. If the Liukou attack Tongxu and Qi County, you don't have to pay attention to it, if the Liukou dares to attack Shangqiu, you will send troops to cut off the back road of the Liukou, and then the Governor will also send troops to cooperate with you. ”

Tiemo's order was very strange, and Olge touched his head, but he still took the order out of the door. At this time, most of the generals in the house did not understand Tiemo's intentions, and the deep meaning was probably only seen through by Wang Zuohang.

Shangqiu is subordinate to Guide Mansion, close to Nanzhili Fengyang Mansion, if Liukou defeats Shangqiu, he can attack Fengyang Mansion at any time. Fengyang, that is the location of the ancestral tomb of the Ming royal family, there is absolutely no chaos there.

After Olge left, Tie Mo nodded on the table with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the rogue is strong, the situation in Ruzhou Mansion is not optimistic, you go back to rectify military affairs, and tomorrow all the troops and horses will go to Ruzhou, and in two days, this inspector hopes that everyone can arrive in the Ruzhou area." ”

"Whoa!" The generals hurriedly got up, and some even showed excited expressions. Sending troops to Ruzhou means that there is another war, and fighting a war means military merit. On the Xuanfu side, especially the generals from Yunfu, most of them are professional soldiers, and many people seem to only be able to fight, and if they don't fight, they don't know what else they can do.

The soldiers and horses of Yunfu are still martial, and they are even a little bloodthirsty, which Tiemo can see and worry about. But now, it's not the time to think about these things, at least for now, if there are still problems.

The arrival of Min Zhengyuan was also expected by Tiemo, and the matter of sending troops to Kaifeng Mansion had already been decided. But if you send troops to fight by yourself, you can't sell your life in vain, you have to ask for some benefits.

In the room, Min Zhengyuan had a request for others, so he naturally lowered his posture, but Tiemo had a sad face, and seemed to be very embarrassed, "Lord Min, there are some things that you must also know, this time to send troops to Henan, the imperial court has no money, so far, the brothers under the command of this superintendent are hungry to fight." Therefore, whether Li Zicheng can be driven away or not, this inspector does not dare to guarantee. ”

Min Zhengyuan smiled bitterly in his heart, what are you hungry to fight? The food of the border army of Xuanfu is much better than that of the soldiers and horses of Henan Mansion, and the white-flour steamed buns are still hungry?

Of course, the meaning of Tiemo, Min Zhengyuan knew it in his heart, but fortunately, he had already prepared, "Rest assured, the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu have come from afar, and I, the gentry of Kaifeng, will not let the brothers go hungry to fight." ”

After that, Min Zhengyuan escaped a post from his sleeve, and Tiemo took it and looked at it, and immediately laughed in his heart.

It turned out to be a gift list, not counting food and supplies, and there were 500,000 taels of silver alone.

This Min Zhengyuan can be compared to Jackie Chan!
