Chapter 311: The Night Banquet of the Chin Cha
"Lan people don't know, this Xuanfu is a military city, it can be said that more than ninety percent of the population is a soldier, or the family of soldiers, I was here a few years ago, the population in Xuanhua City is: 124797 military households, 4551 official households, only 2035 people, it can be seen that Xuanfu Town is a veritable "military city", so the business and entertainment industry here are not developed, you think about how much spare money a soldier can come out to play, during the day and there are people at night, it is lifeless, which is far worse than the capital."
"I heard them say that Xuanfu was a very prosperous city every day, but I really didn't expect it to be so depressed."
"Not necessarily, it's still okay in normal times, you think about it, now the 'Mongolian' ancient army is outside the city, in order to prevent the 'Mongolian' spies of the ancients may have been under martial law, and when you're done, I'll accompany you to take a good look at Xuanfu."
"Okay, thank you, General Wu"
"Lord Lan, don't come to Xuanfu politely, I'm half a master."
Our group came to the center of the Xuanfu along the street, this is the location of the Xuanfu's General Military Mansion, it is said that we should go to the Mansion in normal times, because this time Zhang Juzheng's grade is too high, and it is related to the military situation, so Wang Chonggu They changed the location of the banquet to the General Military Mansion
At this time, after the transfer of the former chief soldier Ma Fang, there was a temporary governor of Xuanda, acting at the right time, and the emperor had not sent someone to take over the front, and he was in charge of the front at the right time, so when we arrived at the 'gate' of the general army's mansion, Fang Feng led all the officials of all sizes in the Xuanfu to meet at the 'gate', of course, many minor officials and civil officials who were qualified to greet Zhang Juzheng were county prefects, and there were many officials and military attachés who were governors of the ya's 'gate', and only officials with more than 1,000 households were qualified to come over
The street is deserted, but the 'door' of the General Military Mansion is brightly lit, soldiers in armor are standing guard on both sides of the street, those hundreds of civil and military generals came up under the leadership of Fang Fengshi, and in front of the sedan chair that had just stopped, Lao Liu waited for Zhang Juzheng to get down, and the sedan chair Fang Fengshi stepped forward to greet him first, and the officials behind also followed Shi Li to greet him: "Xuanda Governor Fang Fengshi led his subordinates to see Lord Zhang."
Zhang Juzheng picked up Fang Fengshi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Everyone, my lords have worked hard, and the official is late, so let's get up."
This is all a false courtesy, no one is honest to kneel, it is not Zhang Juzheng, there is an identity of Qincha, it is impossible for a second-grade member to kneel down at the right time, now Zhang Juzheng asked everyone to stand up, and they all stood up, hugging Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu to go to the ya'men', I am a petty official in their eyes, so I didn't say hello, I didn't know, and I thought I was Zhang Juzheng's entourage
"Why didn't Lord Lan greet you, these people don't know that you are also a Qincha?"
Wu Dashan said dissatisfiedly: "General Wu, I don't care, I'm just a deputy Qincha, I am here to assist Lord Zhang's official and junior positions, and if they don't pay attention, it's inevitable to go, let's go in together."
Following that group of officials, we also entered the big 'gate' of the General Soldier's Mansion, which was not bad, and the soldiers guarding saw that we were both wearing official uniforms, and we were not blocked, and when we were about to enter the hall, we were stopped by the middle officer at the 'gate'
"What are you two doing, here's a banquet today, Lord Qincha can't go in if you haven't been invited, you have business to talk about another day."
"We are protecting Lord Qincha, this is Lord Lan, the deputy envoy of Qincha, can't we go in," Wu Dashan said dissatisfiedly
"I haven't heard of any other deputy envoy of the Qincha, you two want to 'mix' in, you are still protecting Lord Qincha like this, you look at the face of the black and not slippery, and you are not afraid of embarrassing the Lord Qincha" Wu Dashan's face was splashed with blood when he killed the enemy today, because it was not washed away, and now it has become black, so it is looked black under the light
"How do you speak, what's wrong with me, this is the blood of the 'Meng' ancients, you don't even let the Lan people into Lao Tzu Xuanfu, I have to reason with you today," Wu Dashan's voice raised
At this moment, the people in the hall were also attracted by our quarrel, and Fang Fengshi asked: "What's the matter with the Chinese officer, why is it noisy?"
"Lord Governor Qiqi, these two people want to go in, and I won't let them, so they quarreled."
Fang Fengshi didn't open his mouth yet, Zhang Juzheng also saw us and said: "Lord Fang, that's the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, Lord Lan, which one is the commander of the Beijing Army, General Wu came with me, let them come in."
When the Chinese officer who stopped us heard that I was really the deputy envoy of the Qincha, he was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said: "Lord Qincha, the small one has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, please don't blame him."
"Okay, come on, it's your duty, there's nothing to blame, we can go in"
The middle officer stood up and hurriedly said, "Lord Qincha, please come in," and then those officials noticed that there was still such a deputy envoy as me, but looking at my age, and from the third grade, the officials were muttering in their hearts, and which noble son of the noble family followed him to 'mix' the credit
Wu Dashan and I walked quickly to Zhang Juzheng's side, and Juzheng knew that they didn't know me, so he pointed at me and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Lord Lan, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Mission, and the emperor appointed Lord Lan to host this negotiation with me."
After Zhang Juzheng's introduction, I pointed at Wu Dashan and said: "Is this also the general who went out of your Xuanfu to call Wu Dashan, you should still have the impression that now the assistant leader of the army in Beijing met the 'Mongolian' ancient rangers on the road this time, it was General Wu who led 900 subordinates, not only repelled the attack of the 'Mongolian' ancients, but also beheaded more than 800 levels, if it weren't for General Wu and the soldiers who fought bloodily, you wouldn't have seen this official tonight."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of chirping, most of them here are officers, and they are usually used to being casually, and there is no civil official, and they are elegant to hear Zhang Juzheng say that Wu Dashan not only defeated the cavalry of the 'Mongolian' ancients with a cavalry of 900 people, but also beheaded more than 800 people, all of which were thought to be impossible, so they were talking about it from head to ear
Zhang Juzheng saw that the people below were talking about it, knowing that they didn't believe it, and said to Wu Dashan: "General Wu, I see that you have cut off the head of the 'Mongolian' ancients, where are you now, if you bring them together, open your eyes to everyone."
It is said that it is not very good to look at this thing on this occasion, but Zhang Juzheng also has his own plans, and the results of Wu Dashan can play a role in boosting the morale of the army, and it is a shot in the arm for those timid and fearful officials
"Lord Zhang, these heads are in our team, and today we also brought in the lower officials to let them in."
"Okay, you go and pull these heads in, so that the generals and adults can open their eyes and see that the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry is not invincible, you almost wiped out a thousand-strong team of nine hundred people today, if you encounter it again another day, you will still beat them."
Wu Dashan went outside to pull the head, everyone sat down in turn under Wang Chonggu's greeting, I was originally in the next head, here Wang Chonggu Fang is higher than my official position at any time, but because I am the deputy envoy of the Qincha, so I sat with Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng There is still a vacant seat next to Zhang Juzheng, that is left for Wu Dashan
When we left the mountain bag, Wu Dashan had an extra heart, knowing that he could go to Xuanfu at night, and he didn't need to bring any baggage, so he vacated the carriage and loaded all the heads, more than 800 heads, and four cars were loaded
After a while, Wu Dashan took the soldiers to the big 'gate' of the General Soldier's Mansion, and Wu Dashan ran in again to ask Zhang Juzheng: "Lord Zhang, these heads are all on the carriage, do you take them in or put them outside?"
"Move them all in for me, put them in the courtyard, and build them into a Jingguan for me, so that everyone can see that the warriors of the Ming Dynasty are not fake, and the knights of the ancients are not invincible."
Wu Dashan went out to arrange for the soldiers to carry the head, and I asked Zhang Juzheng in a low voice: "Teacher, this is going to eat, is it inappropriate to bring these in?"
"It's nothing, I just let those soft eggs look at it, give them some ambition, and don't be scared of 'pee' and 'pants' when they hear that the 'Meng' ancients are coming."
Wang Chonggu saw Zhang Juzheng's arrangement, and also understood what Zhang Juzheng meant, don't look at Wang Chonggu's civil official, but he has always been the main battle faction, this person is very patriotic, so the emperor will send him to Xuanda as the governor
"Lord Zhang, this matter today is really dangerous, if it weren't for General Wu's hard work to kill Lord Zhang, it would be dangerous, and I blame me for not being able to send reinforcements in time, until General Wu's horse scouts came to report, I didn't know about your distress, this matter is in the lower official, I will write an excerpt to ask for the crime"
"Lord Wang, I said this matter in the car, regardless of your business, you and Governor Fang have done their best, this is also an unexpected situation, and it is unpredictable, no, don't we have nothing to do safely, and when we arrive at Xuanfu safely, we will ask for the matter of guilt in the future, and we will mention it again, our task now is to deal with the affairs of the 'Mongolian' ancients first, the emperor is still waiting for us to return to the capital, the people outside the city are still suffering in dire straits, our trip has a long way to go, and the 'Mongolian' ancients are not so easy to dismiss."
"What Lord Zhang said is very much, Lord Fang and I also thought of it, after dinner, let's study it together, and we also want to meet Hannaji, first find out the contradiction between them, and then we can prescribe the right 'medicine'"
Let's chat here, Wu Dashan outside commanded dozens of soldiers to build up a Beijing official in the courtyard with the heads of the ancient cavalry of 'Meng', thanks to the fact that it is not during the day, everyone can only roughly see those heads, if you look at those heads during the day, those heads are not only bloody 'flesh' or blurry, but also grinning teeth, and there are any expressions, it is estimated that the timid will faint on the spot
