Chapter 073: The Wishes of the Capital
In mid-October of the first year of Chongzhen.
"Grandpa Guo, this time there is a holy decree from the capital, saying that it is to urge you to lead your troops to conquer the Liukou." Wan Chun, the commander of the Northwest Jinyi Guard, knelt down on one knee and said with a respectful expression: "According to the news from Beijing, the three people of the British Duke, the Chengguo Gong, and the Pingguo Gong are very dissatisfied with the fact that you have arrived in Yansui Town for more than a month, but there has been no progress. ”
Zhao Zongwu sat on the main seat, with the information from Jinyiwei in his hand, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "This Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi turned their faces very quickly."
Bengong arrived in Shaanxi and didn't sort out a good place, how to suppress the powerful gangster group?
Relying only on the supply and demand of supplies sent by Beijing, the soldiers under the command of this duke do not have to fight, and they can directly kill him in a life-to-life manner. ”
In the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou and other members of the General Staff Office were all there.
The self-dispatch order was sent from the capital to Hong Chengchou, and it took more than two months for Hong Chengchou to arrive in Yansui Town smoothly.
In fact, Hong Chengchou had doubts in his heart, this Dingguo Gong who was far away in the capital, and even Dingguo Gong was in Liaodong to fight Jiannu before, how did Dingguo Gong know about himself?
Even after Hong Chengchou arrived in Yansui Town, Zhao Zongwu personally received him, and even appointed him in public as the deputy chief of staff of the General Staff of the Commander-in-Chief's Office.
After becoming familiar with the relevant system of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, Hong Chengchou knew very well in his heart what kind of position he had gotten.
I'm honestly scared.
But there is something flattered.
You must know that he was only the governor of Shaanxi Province and participated in politics before.
said that it is a high-ranking official, then it is indeed a high-ranking official, after all, he supervises the grain road and participates in politics, but he is in charge of the tax on the grain of a province, do you say that this power is not great?
But if you want to say that it is not a high-ranking official, it is indeed not a high-ranking official, in recent years, Shaanxi has been in a state of endless famine, even if there is some money and food, it is mostly distributed to other places, and more than half of this has been corrupted by officials at all levels.
Hong Chengchou is in the position of supervising grain and participating in politics in Shaanxi, that is, he is in a state of not being able to go up or down.
He is still a little experienced in officialdom, and the officialdom in Shaanxi is complicated, which also makes Hong Chengchou very depressed.
People live in different environments, which will make them have different development trajectories.
Chen Qiyu, who is almost the same age as Hong Chengchou, was taken captive to Liaodong by Zhao Zongwu in this life, so that he has a different life trajectory.
Not only did he find the most suitable development direction for himself, but he was already a small achievement in this industry.
And if Hong Chengchou wants to become such a civil and military existence in later generations, he may need to continue to learn and progress in the more than ten years of conquest of the Liukou.
But fortunately, in this life, because of Zhao Zongwu, his future life trajectory will definitely be different from what is recorded in history.
Not to mention its future achievements, it is already unrealistic to simply serve Jiannu and become a traitor.
After all, at this stage, Jiannu is still shrinking in the slave Gandu Division to lick the blood and develop.
"Grandpa Guo, it seems that the group of people in Xi'an City have been putting pressure on Zhang Weixian and them during this time." Chen Qiyu's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't hear joy and sorrow in his words: "With Wang Jiayin's overall southward trend, it has become increasingly obvious that in just over a month, they have completed the plundering of the northern Shaanxi provinces.
A large number of people were gathered by them because they could not eat enough to besiege the local gentry, which made the local gentry group suffer the most tragic impact, and even some noble industries were also affected the most. ”
Listening to what Chen Qiyu said, Hong Chengchou had a hesitation in his eyebrows, but he quickly became firm: "Grandpa Guo, we have been gathering in Yansui Town for more than a month, which has made the northern Shaanxi region suffer a great impact because of the movement of the Liukou.
This time the news came from the imperial court, I am afraid that I can't stand it, and the various actions of our army in Shaanxi, if the grandfather of the country still suppresses the army under his command like this, I am afraid that it will ......."
Although Hong Chengchou has been familiar with the system of suppressing the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion in his heart in this process, this does not mean that he has completed the relevant sharp changes.
has also grown from a white-faced scholar to a military planner in charge of an army and a domain, and there are many things to learn in the process.
Today's Hong Chengchou is very similar to Chen Qiyu under Zhao Zongwu.
He just simply looked at the war in one place, and simply looked at the reaction of the imperial court, and did not think about it at a deep level, considering the power he owned, the heritage he had, and why Zhao Zongwu made the choice to do this.
Zhao Zongwu, who has cultivated many talents in the war, actually enjoys this process of cultivating talents, and when he saw Hong Chengchou's statement, he actually thought of when he was impulsive.
Although it is said that he is a crosser, his war experience has also been accumulated through one tragic war after another.
It's just that he's luckier than everyone else.
Of course, this kind of luck is also brought by its own strength.
Zhao Zongwu had a smile in his expression and said, "Yan Yan, not long after you first came to suppress the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, you are not familiar with the combat mode of our army, which is very normal.
The mode of combat that you can think of in your mind is the mode that you have seen in the local and border Ming armies during your years of becoming an official.
The reason why this duke chose to stay in Yansui Town for more than a month, and let Wang Jiayin and their group of extremely vicious rogues wreak havoc in the place, this is not because Bengong is ruthless, nor is it because Bengong wants to use this as a threat.
Sometimes the surface you see, it is not the worst time, the reason why my father is waiting, the reason why he does not move, is that he wants to relieve the serious illness accumulated in Shaanxi in one fell swoop through a vigorous battle!
During the period when you were the governor of Shaanxi and participated in politics, I am afraid that you know better than your father, what kind of environment Shaanxi officialdom is like!
Since this is the case, it is better to use this rogue uprising to completely solve all kinds of problems in Shaanxi! ”
Hong Chengchou didn't expect the Dingguo Guild to consider so far-reaching, in fact, as long as he solved it as soon as possible, the problem of Shaanxi Liukou raging in the local area would be considered in the future.
But apparently people are thinking more far-reaching.
But although Hong Chengchou does have some talent, sometimes talent cannot be transformed into ability, and he still needs to go through a long period of tempering before he can really grow into a handsome talent who gallops on the field.
It's just that if you see too much of the darkness of the Ming officialdom, this person will become completely dark, who can't be sure, Hong Chengchou voted for Jiannu, isn't it because his heart is dead?
Of course, this is not whitewashing......
