It's a little late, and there's another chapter to come. In addition, there was a big clerical error yesterday, and I wrote He Zhizhong as Wu Zhizhong, and it will be revised.

Uncle Zhang's "office" is opposite Lao Cai, and the door is wide open, but he doesn't get along with each other.

In the same center, Cai Jing has news about Chizhou, and Zhang Shuye also has it, but it is not from Shidai County, but from Chizhou Yongfeng Supervisor, which is directly managed by the Ministry of Households.

As if it was a popular or a unified culture of officialdom, Yongfeng Supervisor's report had no surprises, probably stating the defeat of Shiliting, the emergency in Chizhou, and then causing the crisis of Yongfeng Prison and other affairs, and at the same time, like Wu Zhixiang of Shidai County, Yongfeng Supervisor stated all kinds of mistakes about Zhao Cheng in this Chizhou battle.

In general, Lao Zhang doesn't know Zhao Cheng either, except for listening to Zhang Ji, the daughter of a soft-footed shrimp, ?? In addition to boasting with one mouth, in fact, Lao Zhang's trust in Zhao Cheng is relatively limited.

However, it does not affect the fact that after receiving the documents, he wants to arrest the people of Yongfeng Prison and bring them to the capital to hang street lamps, because no matter which is right or wrong, this situation is the most unacceptable, and the enemy has no choice but to be able to share the same hatred and hatred at the moment, and cannot tolerate such careful thinking.

Uncle Zhang, who has a lot of local experience, knows that the more he relies on unity as a support, once there is a big disaster and the idea of flying separately and stabbing in the back, no matter how big the plate is, it will collapse very quickly.

"Xianggong."

There was a scar on his face that looked like a ruthless henchman hugged his fist, "From the earliest time the Wuwei army entered Chizhou, Xishan was defeated, and then Lingyang Mountain was defeated, followed by the defeat of Zhao'an's Shili Pavilion, and the imperial court didn't even know how many people died." It seems that the overall defeat of Chizhou is a foregone conclusion, and you may have to turn Zhang Kangguo to plan for public affairs and make plans in advance, so that a large army can enter the southeast to quell the chaos in the spring. ”

Lao Zhang patted the case and got up, "I don't have a backache at all." The old man wanted to ask, the army left first without money and food, the army is simple, there are more than 200,000 deployed in Tokyo alone, how simple is it to send 100,000 people to the southeast with a paper order, but these old soldiers, they don't have enough money and food, can they really fight? And who has calculated the financial and livelihood catastrophe caused by a large army movement? ”

Scar Qiang wanted to interface, but Lao Zhang interrupted again, "Shut up!" Wang Xiu is a nobody, if the old man is in Chizhou, how can he be allowed to jump? When did I have to be led by a little horse thief in the Song Dynasty? If a state of horse thieves is in rebellion and expects the imperial court to send 100,000 troops, how many troops does the imperial court have to raise, five million or eight million? A group of thieves who have eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard and think they are fierce beasts need to deploy a large army, and the feelings only need to be pushed forward by the Xixia Zhuoluo Military Division for a hundred miles, and the seed master Dao dares to issue a document to ask for money and food for the 10 million army? ”

"Ridiculous, nonsense, child's opinion!"

Lao Zhang complained to the end, and he was still indignant.

Scar Qiang is very helpless, in recent times, Lao Zhang has basically become a troll, no matter who talks to him, as long as he doesn't talk about money, he can say anything, when it comes to money and food, in addition to not spraying Cai Jing in person, even He Zhizhong can be sprayed.

Scar Qiang was born in Lanzhou in the northwest of China, and has been gifted and powerful since he was a child, he is an orphan, he has escaped from the market, joined a beggar gang, and has been with local ruffians, and has made some small things. Later, I followed the butcher gang to eat food, but the hot meal failed to eat for a few months, and the butcher gang made trouble and died, and Scar Qiang was thrown out of the black pot in a daze and went to prison.

At that time, the young Scar Qiang was very scared, and sat in the black prison thinking about how to justify "I didn't do it" when he passed through the hall, but unfortunately he was not good at words, and he could not organize the language that should be.

Unexpectedly, without the trial of the county government, half a year later, one day Scar Qiang ate wine and meat, and was told that "you have been sentenced to death, and the approval documents of the Beijing Criminal Department have arrived, and you will be beheaded after the autumn."

At that time, Scar wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't know why he could be convicted of death without going to court, and he didn't know what kind of tricks and connections the messengers, gangs, and officials from the county and prefecture ya, and even the Beijing Criminal Department had any tricks and connections.

The reason why he survived was because Zhang Shuye, who was the secretary of Lanzhou at the time and joined the army, discovered the cattiness of the county government from another incident.

The rule of the Great Song Dynasty was that when an official had a problem, all the cases and affairs he handled were subject to independent review. So at a young age, Zhang Shuye, who was an official for the first time in his life, began to examine Jiang Jing's past, and finally found Scar Qiang, who was convicted of death without a court trial.

Scar Qiang, who was still a kid at the time, didn't know much about it, but now he understands, Uncle Zhang at that time offended the bureaucrats of the entire state, but he resisted the pressure and threatened to investigate to the end.

In fact, Lao Zhang is indeed awesome, not only has the blood of two former prime ministers, but also is a relative of the emperor. So yes, the young man who has not passed the exam, Lao Zhang's first official position is to start with the army, and this start is higher than Wang Anshi, who was appointed by the emperor in the fourth place in the palace exam.

This position is roughly equivalent to the later "1 secretary and 1 secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the director of the Finance Bureau", shouldering the important responsibilities of an inspection official.

Even if Lao Zhang was so old, he couldn't handle the case, just because the stab was big, he was warned by the above to "don't investigate again", and at the same time, he was also arrested by the family and said "don't make trouble again". That's it.

Of course, as a compromise and as a face for the Zhang family, although the imperial court did not support the overturning of the entire border officialdom under the cloud of war, it also changed the case of Scar Qiang, and at the same time, Jiang Jing, the magistrate of the county, was dismissed and transferred back to the capital to wait for his post.

Scarqiang's death penalty was forgiven, but the imperial court refused to completely correct the mistake for the sake of face, and still maintained the view that Scarqiang was guilty, and finally changed the sentence to Scarqiang's military registration, and "made meritorious contributions" in Lanzhou as a thief with the army.

I once remembered that when I left death row and went to the prison camp, Uncle Zhang came to pat Scar Qiang's shoulder at night and only said, "This official has done his best, the world needs a certain compromise, but don't be discouraged, Lanzhou border city is deeply harassed by the party and horse thieves, and there are many people who are worse than you.

This is the first time Scar Qiang met Uncle Zhang, and since then he has followed Lao Zhang as a dead soldier. I haven't experienced a real confrontation between the two armies at the border, but I really crawled out of the pit of the dead with Lao Zhang.

Scar Qiang swore that in addition to not being able to beat the inherent bureaucratic system, Lao Zhang was definitely the most Nima arrogant scholar from the prime minister's family.

And this virtue he has maintained from his youth to the present, and now Uncle Zhang is sitting in the temple at night, and his mother's Chizhou has been surrounded and seen to break the city, and he still bites to death "Wang Xiu is a nobody, he has eaten two leopard galls and pretended to be a beast, and he can kill him without an army."

"Eun Xiang...... It is related to the stability of the entire southeast, and the humble duty is not to raise the bar with you, after three defeats, Chizhou can no longer see that there is still a counterattack force available. At the court level, it is really necessary to prepare early. Once he won Chizhou, Wang Xiu's feathers were plump. ”

Scar holds his fists strongly.

Uncle Zhang shook his head loudly, "The old man doesn't agree, there is a counterattack force, just see if they will use it." What is annoying is that these bureaucrats hold their own identities and never look down on going down to the grassroots, and they will not mobilize the power of the people. ”

Scar Qiang, who doesn't agree with this strange theory now, can't refute it. Because Lao Zhang has been so virtuous.

When he was first on the border of Lanzhou, he was harassed by horse thieves who came and went without a trace, and the situation was complicated and the clouds of war were shrouded, and others did not want to take care of these things. So what did Zhang Shuye, who had no military power and no trust in the official army, do?

Scar Qiang clearly remembers that Lao Zhang selected fifty people with amazing bones from the slums and trained them as chengguan, but no, they were actually exclusive "tax inspection teams". Later, he went to the Detention Department to write to the prison department and brought the file of the labor prisoner Scar Qiang to his side.

At this point, a scholar took fifty chengguans, including Scar Qiang, out of battle, went deep into the territory of Western Xia, ambushed in the field for eleven days, and finally ambushed in the Lingbo Mountain generation, annihilated a group of horse thieves of more than 90 people, and won a complete victory.

There was more than one horse thief, but Lanzhou has never been harassed by horse thieves since then.

There is no credit for the credit, this is not Uncle Zhang's business at all, so the entire Lanzhou officialdom is big.

At that time, Gao Yongnian, the general stationed in Qinfeng Road, jumped to his feet angrily, and wrote to the Privy Council on thin ice, saying, "Lanzhou Uncle Zhang's night dog takes a mouse, and killing a small group of horse thieves is not beneficial to the improvement of the war environment at all, but it may cause a large-scale national war for this."

The result, of course, was that Gao Yongnian was sprayed by the cardinal, "Shut up, take care of your own business, Uncle Zhang is what you can blame, damn you, you are the dog and the mouse".

In the end, it is useless, it is impossible for them to reward Zhang Shuye for this, but of course punishment and accountability are even more impossible, so it will be over.

Therefore, in Scar Qiang's view, Lao Zhang does not have any great achievements in military affairs, but his virtue is so, and he always thinks that the old soldiers are unusable, and the real power that can be used is around him, in the people.

This idea and style Lao Zhang has retained until now, so after his daughter reported the matter of Chizhou Zhao Cheng, Lao Zhang saw hope.

Especially on the eve of the Battle of Xishan, no one believed Zhao Cheng's judgment, when there was a problem with the deployment of the army, Zhao Cheng led fifty city managers out of Xishan.

Although he failed to reverse the Battle of Xishan in the end, it really made Lao Zhang see the last glimmer of hope for Chizhou.

This was the first time Zhang Shuye tried to trust Zhao Cheng.
