Liao Zhaoping's heart moved when he heard this, and he seemed to have realized something, but he couldn't grasp the point.

"Azig is just cruel to people, not cruel enough to himself...... Also, this Prince Ying has been in office for too many years, and he has long forgotten the hardships of eating wind and sand in Mobei. Wu Zheng said with a hint of mockery, "But Li Guo is different, even if Li Zicheng occupies Shuntianfu and ascends the throne as the emperor, Li Guo is also fighting, and he has not had a good life...... People who are accustomed to suffering can always live easier than those who enjoy happiness, right? ”

Liao Zhongping's heart lit up, and he solemnly shook his body and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

Wu Zheng smiled, shook his hand and said, "I can't talk about pointing...... Li Guo can live, and Guangxinwei can also live. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway...... Besides, I have no intention of sacrificing the lives of 20,000 soldiers. ”

Liao Zhongping nodded vigorously and said, "Liao also believes it...... Dare to ask what the prince has to tell me when he comes this time? ”

Wu Zheng turned around and pointed to the map, "You have to do both things yourself." ”

"Please give the order."

"The first is to recruit local people to transport some ammunition supplies for Guangxinwei through Dagunling. Second, the left battalion made a feint to the front line of Dagunling, not only to escort the people transporting ammunition, but also to increase the pressure on Azig. ”

"Yes."

Wu Zheng was silent for a while, thought for a while, and said, "It is difficult to pass the military order...... I'll get to the bottom first, but if Azig moves, you and Xia Wanchun will go straight to Fengyang City, and no matter who obstructs it, you don't have to pay attention to it! ”

Liao Zhongping said with a straight face: "Please rest assured...... Liao keep it in mind! ”

Wu Zheng smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go...... You don't have to send it. ”

Liao Zhongping was surprised: "It's getting late...... Why don't you ......? ”

"Time waits for no one...... I'm not as good as Azig, and I can command Ruoding while lying in Fengyang City. Wu Zheng laughed and left without looking back.

……。

Hengyang Town (ancient town, not Hengyang, Hunan, located in the southwest of present-day Jinhu County, Jiangsu Province), where the Ming Inspection Division is located.

The inspection department of the yamen began in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was also imitated in Jin and Xia, and was inherited by the Yuan until Zhu Yuanzhang carried it forward.

This is a low-level grassroots organization, subordinate to the local county government, a bit like the armed police organization of later generations, but it is not exactly the same.

Its duty is to catch pirates, which are not found in all prefectures and counties, but most of them are concentrated in economically developed areas such as near Caoyun and Jiangnan, and are rarely seen in the northwest and remote areas.

It is a supplement to the county government to catch fast, even the chief official inspection, its grade is only from the ninth grade, just into the stream, then its subordinate officers may not even be called officials, in the words of later generations, that is, "temporary workers", but this temporary worker is not his temporary worker, the wages of the temporary workers in later generations are cashed, most of them are included in the budget, but at this time, how can there be a budget?

In good years, the county government pays rice grain, and when the year is bad, then it has to be in arrears, and the arrears are good, and there is still a hope, and if the situation is bad, then they have to fend for themselves, who calls them little mothers.

It stands to reason that such a very inconspicuous organization will not be passed down to future generations and still be known, but there is a place where the inspection department is famous and attracts the attention of future generations.

That is the famous Penghu Inspection Division, which was first set up in the Yuan Dynasty, which is probably the only good thing that Mongolian foreigners have done for China to be praised.

After going around, let's talk about Hengyang Town, this town has an inspection department, and it has been set up since the Hongwu period.

As mentioned earlier, in addition to the inspection, the rest of the people in the inspection department are not in the stream, and what they do is to assist the county government to catch thieves.

When it was first established, Lao Zhu paid more attention to it, and the leaders attached great importance to it, and the treatment was good, of course, it was overcrowded, but in the Wanli period, even the regular health center was no longer guaranteed, not to mention the small organizations to which these counties belonged?

The sons of good families are obviously jealous of these people, but they look down on them in their hearts, unless it is a last resort, they would rather plow the ground than do this kind of ninth-rate errand, no salary, not to mention offending people, and if they are not careful, they will have to lose their lives, and they will not even have a pension.

In this way, the manpower of the inspection department is insufficient, and the recruitment standard is reduced again and again.

In the end, it is often to pull some idle people or ruffians, splashes and the like to make up the number, so that the reputation of the inspection department is no longer bad.

The yamen has to get close to these people, if they don't do it, where can they find people? In such a chaotic year, someone takes care of the home, even if it is nominal, it is better than no one, right?

Therefore, the county government often turns a blind eye to these people, as long as the matter is not big, they have to get by, and out of sight is pure.

In this way, in the streets and alleys, they are molesting women from good families, taking sheep by hand, and bullying honest people...... I have heard of all kinds of dog skins falling into the stove from time to time.

In the words of the good local people, it is better to come to the Tartars.

Today, on the streets of Hengyang Town, the crowds are far sparser than in the past, too, there is a war.

Ordinary people either fled from the war or closed their homes, as if as long as they hid, they would be fine.

Fortunately, Hengyang Town is far away from the battlefield, and it is generally not looked down upon, and yes, it is said that it is said to attack the city and seize the land, a small town, who can look at it?

At this time, in front of the Chenghuang Temple on West Street, several officers of the inspection department were gathering in Nakan Mountain.

Dressed in soap suits and carrying iron rulers around their waists, they dressed themselves as the legendary people of the Six Gates.

In fact, at their level, people who shine shoes still dislike the smell.

"Brother Liu, you said that this Northern Expeditionary Army is really different from the Ming Army in the past? Yesterday, I saw them passing by in line, and the momentum was ...... Gee. ”

An errand officer squinted his eyes, smacked his mouth, and his face was full of envy, and that look was almost drooling.

Another officer chimed in: "If only they could take me...... Hey, if I want to live three years less, you don't look at their uniforms, it's like they've been slurred with pulp...... It's also strange, they don't wear armor in war, aren't they afraid of being shot by arrows? ”

The other, the older one, reached out and patted the officer's head and rebuked, "What do you know...... It is said that His Royal Highness King Wu, who built a new dynasty in the south, can pray for blessings, and as long as he goes to the battlefield, the soldiers can be invulnerable...... You know that you haven't read a book, do you know what it means to be a soldier? ”

The errand officer was slapped on the head, his brain was a little messy, and he nodded again and again in a daze, "Brother Zhang really understands people's ......." ”

At this time, the strong man in his thirties, who had been sitting on the stone lion on the left outside the temple, snorted coldly, "Maybe the big girl and the little daughter-in-law on the street are still successful, and the army is ...... He knows a ball! ”

The older one, who was called "Lao Zhang", had a red face with a hint of complaint, but it was more like a "coquettish" taste, and he twisted and said: "Brother Liu, don't hit people in the face......." ”
