Chapter 141: Mutual Moderation

Tongling County and Qingyang County continued to lower their heads with strange expressions and said nothing.

Huang Wenbing, who specializes in finding fault with others and becoming famous, narrowed his eyes and stared at Tongling County and Qingyang County, and the first thing that came to mind was: these two people must have a major interest relationship in the private copper mine occupied by bandits!

In fact, I think so because Huang Wenbing is also a person in power, and the political district of Wuwei Army is next door, only separated by a river, which is also a mining area. Huang Wenbing knows better than anyone that as long as the consul acts, not to mention that gang bandits can be eliminated, they can be greatly suppressed.

On the other hand, as a copper-intensive area, Chizhou cottages can stand in such a large and uncollapsed situation, without the support of the consuls, it is logically completely unreasonable.

Huang Wenbing felt that this was the fault of interests, if the copper mine was in the hands of the government, once it entered the form, it would become the interests of Cai You and the interests of the imperial court. If it is in the hands of gangs and bandits in various places, then without disrupting the balance, there is a high probability that the interests of local officials such as the county lieutenant will be involved, or at least go with the flow.

Since they are afraid, or they are implicated in interests, Huang Wenbing observed the expressions of Qingyang County and Tongling County now, and it is obvious that they have basically become anti-war factions in this bureau.

It doesn't matter if they're good or bad, because it affects their interests.

Obviously, after the chaos, the state city may be able to defend it, but if the main cottages cannot be eliminated in a short time, the counties that have almost no defense capability will face dire trouble. Therefore, no matter whether these external magistrates are afraid of death or things, or they are greedy for money, or they feel sorry for the people of Li under their rule, in short, it is almost inevitable that they will oppose the war.

Looking at Wang Qilong, the magistrate of Tongling County, who didn't speak, thought about this, Huang Wenbing sneered, and said in his heart that since the Wuwei Army came, it was not so easy to leave, and he came to fight. As for the interests of Chizhou and the lives of the people, Huang Wenbing does not care much, or cares about it limitedly.

Huang Wenbing attaches great importance to the concept of "government hanging", and attaches more importance to the political and career interests brought about by this incident, as well as the financial interests that Zhang Shuye is most concerned about.

Since this is the case, it is necessary to find people with common interests on this occasion, so Huang Tong seemed to smile and looked at the director of Yongfeng Supervisor (the president of the Chizhou branch of the central bank, Zhang Shuye is directly in charge).

The director of Yongfeng Supervisor seemed very embarrassed and didn't want to offend Cai You, but Cai You was not the top boss, which politically meant that it was not Cai You who was responsible for Chizhou's failure to complete the task of minting money, but himself.

After pondering for a while, Supervisor Chen felt embarrassed, and said with a fist on his forehead: "Zhizhou Xianggong, Tongju Xianggong, now the copper mines in the hands of the government tend to be depleted, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, our prison has basically ceased fire and sabotage, this seeing that this year's money and government tasks can not be completed, affecting all the imperial court measures related to finance next year, I really feel like a man's back, like walking on thin ice." This mountain bandit ...... I'm afraid it's really going to be hanged? ”

"Supervisor Chen is reasonable."

Huang Wenbing didn't look at Cai You, and then twisted his beard to look at Zhao Cheng, with a slightly impatient tone: "What does the county lieutenant of Guichi think of the current situation?" ”

Zhao Cheng said with a strange expression, "There is actually room for the lower officials to speak?" ”

Huang Wenbing thought about hearing that your kid was cowardly and anti-war, do you think Lao Tzu wants to give you a chance to speak? If it weren't for the fact that you were a county lieutenant and a celebrity under Cai You, how could you waste time.

Huang Wenbing glanced at Dong Ping again.

Dong Ping understood, and immediately answered, "I have heard that Lord Zhao is familiar with the bandits, and they have a lot of contacts, so I think that at this moment, asking him this kind of question is not only equivalent to asking in vain, but also not good for the government." ”

Huang Wenbing smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be shocked and looked at Zhao Cheng.

Cai You narrowed his eyes and stared at Dong Ping, "So this Chizhou depends on you Dong Ping's palm, and you rely on you to identify loyalty and traitor?" So, where do you place the Chizhou guards appointed by the emperor? ”

Everyone lowered their heads very low, and Zhao Cheng also looked at Dong Ping curiously.

Dong Ping's color changed slightly, "The last general will not dare to ......"

Cai You wanted to continue to scold Dong Ping, but Huang Wenbing intervened in advance, and asked Dong Ping with a smiling and scolding demeanor, "Xiao Xiaowu must be cautious when speaking here, you are already suspected of 'suing the civil official', otherwise Lord Cai will not care about you, but the official will not spare you." ”

"The last will obey."

After Dong Ping easily dodged over, he looked at Zhao Cheng smugly and said, "My lord, forgive me, Dong Mou lost his words." ”

Zhao Cheng hesitated and said, "It's okay, I've met a lot, it's good that you are happy." Looking at the general's strategy of sending troops to deploy the formation, Xiao Zhao was shocked by the heavens, the future of Chizhou and the future of the dynasty will all depend on brave people like the general. ”

Huang Wenbing was slightly stunned, not concerned about Zhao Cheng's sarcasm, but because he was cautious and cautious, he had more eyes, so he became curious, and looked at Zhao Cheng with his beard twisted.

Cai You didn't think much about military affairs, but just looked at Zhao Cheng with satisfaction and nodded frequently.

"What is the intention of Lord Zhao's words?"

Dong Ping looked at Zhao Cheng lazily and contemptuously.

All eyes are focused on Zhao Cheng, anyway, whether it is noisy or strong, there will always be people who make a fool of themselves in this kind of affairs.

The inside story lies in the fact that after the Wuwei Army entered Chizhou, Zhao Cheng, the county lieutenant of Guichi, had already communicated with the state government, arranged a large area of open space around the satellite city of Yongfeng Prison as a temporary barracks, and wrote a letter of advice to Huang Wenbing, suggesting that the Wuwei Army be stationed in the important place of Yongfeng Prison to make a follow-up move.

I can also think with my toes that the Wuwei Army who entered Chizhou during this special period naturally would not trust the people of the Chizhou department. Dong Ping, who claims to be proficient in formation and brave, believes that the excessive shrinkage of the forbidden army in the state city will not only appear cowardly and unable to obtain a deterrent effect, but will also be excessively restrained and harassed by the Chizhou bureaucracy.

also because Dong Ping received a private message from the big celebrity Wang Hao, and he was even more disgusted and hated Zhao Cheng.

The "Guichi County Military Policy" was obviously written by Zhao Cheng, so Dong Pingzhi ignored the suggestion and suggested that Huang Wenbing, a scholar who did not understand military affairs, deploy the cavalry of the 1,000 forbidden army on the high hill of Xishan in the triangle between Guichi County, Qingyang County, and Tongling County.

The characteristic is that the high hill of Xishan is very close to the Lingzhi cottage of Wang Xiubu, and it is in the same high place, you can look at each other from afar, and you can also win the reputation of not being afraid of bandits and holding Wang Xiu.

Huang Wenbing also didn't trust the people of the Chizhou department after weighing it, and he didn't want to "trap" the only elite in Chizhou today, according to the ideas of the Chizhou bureaucrats, in Yongfeng Prison.

In addition, there is another intention to deploy Xishangang, if the pre-war meeting of Chizhou reaches a decision, only Cai You needs to officially declare the "state of emergency" in Chizhou, then it can be done quickly, relying on the 1,000 cavalry of Xishan Gaogang, and quickly force up Lingzhi Mountain to trap Wang Xiubu.

These are the speculations and games that the two families have started before they have "met," and the bureaucrats here are all old foxes, so of course they know this in their hearts.

To put it simply, in the early days of Cai Jing's restoration, the politics of the imperial court were relatively unified, and Lao Cai was a little impatient with the slow actions of his eldest son Cai You. In addition, a group of ministers of the main battle faction surnamed Zhang forced the palace en masse, which led to the Wuwei army in the Huaixi military system entering Chizhou. Instead of the Cai family's traditional basic Panjiang Nandong Road Shuaisi sent troops.

So now there is mutual moderation.
