Chapter 324: Congratulations from all directions
Because Guo Muying was pregnant, the speed of the army was not fast, and it took several days to reach the outside of Yanzhou Mansion.
At this time, Liu Juntao led the army to stop outside the north gate of Yanzhou Mansion, and saw Lei Bo, the commander of the city guard, leading Li Qianhu and other guards to wait on the left side of the north city gate, while the governor of Yanzhou Mansion led a group of civil officials to wait on the right side of the north city gate.
Seeing this, Liu Juntao said secretly in his heart; "It seems that the boundaries between the Chinese military officials of the DPRK have begun to be clear, and even the local civil and military officials have begun to draw the line, let alone the important ministers of the DPRK. It is estimated that in the next step, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty will start to clash in secret! ”
From ancient times to the present, the confrontation in power has never stopped, and the confrontation between the civil and military parties in the political situation has run through the entire Ming Dynasty, which Liu Juntao is very clear in his heart.
Liu Juntao sighed slightly, then turned over and dismounted, first said hello to Guo Muying in the carriage, and then walked forward with a smile, and went straight to Lei Bo, the commander of the city guard, and left the prefect of Yanzhou Mansion and other civil officials aside.
Seeing this, the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture and other civil officials suddenly felt frosty, and even many people talked in low voices, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with Liu Juntao's move.
However, the prefect of Yanzhou Mansion didn't say anything, just frowned and groaned secretly.
Ren Chengwei commanded Lei Bo to greet him with a laugh, and after greeting Liu Juntao, he said loudly: "Brother went north to King Qin, broke the war and thieves, and greatly increased the prestige of my Qilu Erlang, which is really an example for us!" ”
Li Qianhu also said with great admiration; "Mr. Liu is brave and good at fighting, and has made many military exploits, and the soldiers under his command are also very elite, which can be called the first in my Ming Dynasty's combat power! Moreover, Mr. Liu is even more sympathetic to the soldiers, and the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine in Yushan Town shows Mr. Liu's benevolence and righteousness! ”
Liu Juntao said a few words modestly, and then said: "Today, Commander Laulei, Li Qianhu and all the brothers came to greet him!" Let's come to Japan for a long time, and this town will have to be close to everyone in the future! ”
Liu Juntao's words were very loud, and the prefect of Yanzhou Mansion and other civil officials not far away could hear them clearly.
Liu Juntao's move is to clearly tell those civil officials that he is the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty and an upright martial artist, so he naturally wants to stand with Ren Chengwei's general!
At this time, the face of the prefect of Yanzhou Mansion was very ugly, originally thought that Liu Juntao was from a strong background, and everything was about the pros and cons, but now the Wuxun Group of the DPRK and China was destroyed in a war, and the Founding Meritorious Group was also wiped out, and the civil official group was already a monopoly, and the prefect of Yanzhou Mansion thought that Liu Juntao would be neutral, or lean directly on himself, but he didn't expect Liu Juntao's attitude to be so resolute!
At this time, Liu Juntao walked over under the guidance of Lei Bo, the commander of the city guard.
Liu Juntao smiled and hugged his fists as a salute, and the governor of Yanzhou Mansion also squeezed out a smile in return.
During this period, Liu Juntao also observed the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture, through Lei Bo's introduction, the prefect's name is Gu Quan, in his forties, originally a person from Nanzhili, and the new prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture has not been long in office, and he is sophisticated and sleek.
Since taking office, this Gu Governor's Mansion has suppressed the generals of Ren Chengwei, not only allowing his subordinate officials to embezzle Tuntian, but also repeatedly pointing fingers at the military affairs of the guard, which is very condescending!
Of course, these are all things that Lei Bo took the opportunity to whisper to Liu Juntao just now.
Liu Juntao smiled and said to Gu Zhifu: "My lord, this town has just come to Yanzhou Mansion, and in the future, we will work with Commander Lei and Lord Gu to guard the Yanzhou Mansion City, the upper is the imperial court to guard one side, and the lower is to calm the people, and the burden on our bodies is very heavy!" ”
Liu Juntao's words were impeccable, but Gu Quan felt uncomfortable when he heard it, as if Liu Juntao was his superior.
Gu Quan held back the anger in his heart and said lightly: "They are all loyal to the country, and I hope that General Liu will do his duty!" ”
Liu Juntao said loudly: "Don't worry, this is nature!" From today on, Lei commanded the training of the soldiers and horses of the guard to protect the territory and the people, the town drilled the battalion soldiers under his command to guard one side and listen to the imperial court's recruitment, and the adults and herdsmen collected money and food for the imperial court, and the three of us performed our duties to live up to Your Majesty's expectations! ”
"Good!"
Ren Chengwei commanded Lei Bo to cheer immediately when he heard this, and said to Gu Quan with a smile: "General Liu said it too well, from now on, Lord Gu should concentrate on his own affairs, and the things in my guard will not be distracted!" ”
Liu Juntao and Lei Bo made Gu Quan deflated one after the other, but they couldn't have a seizure.
After all, at this time, the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty did not belong to each other, and there was a great idea of the separation of powers in later generations, the prefect was in charge of government affairs, the commander was responsible for guarding the place, and the general army was under the orders of the Ministry of Waiting for the Soldiers to conquer various places.
At this time, Lei Bo said to Liu Juntao; "General Liu, let's let the soldiers enter the city first, it's strange here!"
Liu Juntao agreed with a smile, and then ordered the army to enter the city in turn.
After that, Liu Juntao and Gu Quan and other civil officials said goodbye, flew on their horses, and entered the city with the army accompanied by Lei Bo and others, the commander of the city guard.
Looking at the figures of Liu Juntao and Lei Bo in the distance, Gu Quan, the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture, was furious in his heart, and he thought about how to rectify the two.
Just when Gu Quan lowered his head and meditated, the subordinates behind him kept exclaiming, Gu Quan hurriedly looked up, and suddenly he also let out a low voice, a little dazed.
I saw the soldiers of the middle military camp and the right battalion entering the city in turn, and the neat pace of tens of thousands of ironclad troops can be said to be the same, where is this kind of momentum that these pampered civilian officials have ever seen?
Moreover, in the middle army camp and the right battalion, more than two-thirds of the soldiers have participated in the battle of King Qinwang in the north, and they have all fought with the real sword and real gun of the Warat Iron Cavalry, and they are all elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain!
These soldiers are full of murderous energy, and just looking at them will make people feel chills in their hearts!
Gu Quan, the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture, and the civil officials around him saw such a powerful ironclad army, and saw the long knives and bird guns in the hands of the soldiers, and they had already forgotten the secret competition with Liu Juntao and Lei Bo just now.
At this time, there was only one thought in everyone's hearts: how could they get closer to the newly appointed chief military officer of Yanzhou Mansion, at least not to provoke this evil god!
The news that Liu Juntao led his troops to Yanzhou Mansion spread far and wide, and within a few days, it spread all over Yanzhou Mansion and even the entire Shandong territory.
The gentry, Haoqiang, and even officials who had dealings with Liu Juntao from all over the country sent people to congratulate them, and even Yan Shenggong sent Mr. Shan to brave the cold wind.
This shocked the prefect of Yanzhou Mansion and other civil officials again, and everyone never expected that Liu Juntao and his martial arts would be so close to Yan Shenggong!
As a result, Gu Quan, the governor of Yanzhou Prefecture, and other civil officials also sent people to the General Military Mansion one after another to send congratulatory gifts to Liu Juntao.
Liu Juntao was very happy with everyone's congratulations, but during these days, he had been busy with the deployment and deployment of the two battalions of soldiers and horses, as well as Guo Muying, who had been taking care of all the cars and horses, and did not return the gift to everyone in time.
After Liu Juntao remembered to return the gift to everyone, many people who came to congratulate him had already returned, which made Liu Juntao very unhappy.
On this day, Liu Juntao finished handling the day's military affairs, and returned to the backyard of the General Soldier's Mansion, looking at Guo Muying leaning in the house, Liu Juntao's face was full of happy smiles.
Guo Muying laughed when she saw this, and said, "Husband still has the heart to laugh!" ”
"What? I can't laugh anymore? ”
"Husband, this time you are stationed in Yanzhou City, it can be said that you have come from all directions to congratulate, and all forces have sent people to come, but Fujun has been entangled in military affairs in recent days, and he has neglected others, so it is easy for people to misunderstand that Husband is arrogant! If you let some people with ulterior motives hype it up, it will be a tricky thing! ”
After listening to Guo Muying's words, Liu Juntao also frowned slightly, and then said: "Then I will send someone to send a return gift to all parties tomorrow!" ”
"No!"
Liu Juntao asked strangely: "Why is this?" ”
Guo Muying said with a smile: "The husband will make up for the return gift to others afterwards, so it's better not to give it at all!" Anyway, the Spring Festival is approaching, so you might as well send a post directly to the people who came to congratulate you, and say that you are invited to spend the festival together! ”
Liu Juntao pondered for a while, then laughed and said, "Okay! Then I'll take advantage of the situation to pick up the grass and beat the rabbit, and I'll do another thing together! ”
