Nazanhua said to his big Guo Weiquan: "Now that the interior is erosive, there is only one name left for the thousands of households in the guard, and it is not surprising that the pole composed of some hungry and dizzy homeless people broke the county seat, but this time the city of Mizhi was broken, and the money and grain taxes were lost, and the border soldiers were implicated, do you think that a recovery of the county town can cover up the mistakes?" Then the court is also very deceived, so the court must be angry and let the magistrates, the main thing is the governor, take the credit. ”

"That's right." Guo Weiquan nodded, touched his chin and frowned and waited for the next part of this praise painting.

Nazanhua was not annoying, and continued: "Since it is impossible for those guards to defend a city with high cities and deep trenches, let alone siege the city, therefore, the heavy task of exterminating the first pole can only rely on us, the border army. ”

Guo Weiquan squinted his eyes again and nodded gently, and said in a continuous voice: "Lord Zanhua is reasonable, but our border soldiers are only responsible for guarding the territory, not for arresting thieves and bandits. ”

The reason why Guo Weiquan said this is actually because he still has concerns about the identity of this praise painting, you are sent by Yue Hesheng, the governor of Yansui, and you are here to monitor our military generals on behalf of the civilian group, you are saying this now, but you want to provoke me to send troops to wipe your ass for your civilian group, are you a fool to me?

Nazanhua seemed to see Guo Weiquan's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Don't you want to think about the benefits we will get if we make a move?" ”

Advantage?

As soon as they mentioned this word, Gong Weixian and Chen Hongfan's eyes lit up, and they seemed to smell the smell of money and food during this period.

As soon as Nazanhua saw that his proposal had been responded, he was no longer talking to himself dryly, so he said to the two deputy commanders-in-chief: "In fact, as long as we take over this work, then for the current situation of our border army, it will be beneficial and harmless." ”

At this time, Guo Weiquan also pricked up his ears and listened to Nazan's painting.

"First, when we are now angry with the soldiers, we announce that we will go out to suppress the bandits, which will divert the attention of the soldiers and alleviate the current crisis."

Guo Weiquan nodded, in fact, everyone is playing this method and often playing it, this is not new.

Seeing that the chief soldier raised his head, Nazanhua continued: "Second, as long as we send troops, we will get money and food, then we will get the solution of the second problem. ”

Guo Weiquan couldn't help nodding again, this Ming sent troops, the grain and grass were not with the army, they were all supplied by the counties and townships along the way, two meals a day, although they couldn't eat enough, but they would no longer worry about starvation, as long as they were marching two times a day, and then two days to catch a trip, they could squeeze out a meal of money and food. As long as the soldiers have something to eat, they will not mutiny, and they will deal with the situation first.

"Third, since the local government has borrowed border soldiers to suppress bandits, then the governor should take some positions, so that we can get some gains to deal with the present."

This is a clear indication of a position.

Gong Weixian immediately stood up and said loudly: "Yes, the suppression of bandits is not under the control of our border soldiers, they want to use our border soldiers, of course they have to give some labor, this is a way." ”

"Actually, there's a bigger income." Nazan said with a smile.

Guo Weiquan frowned, another income is just plundering the people, this can't be said, Shangfeng doesn't care, if Shangfeng really catches the handle, it will be a dead end, you can get out of the way, but we Qiu Bake are scapegoats.

When Nazanhua saw that the handsome man had misunderstood, he hurriedly smiled and said: "The handsome misunderstood, as a member of the handsome, how can I trap the handsome in injustice?" The third income I'm talking about is on those poles. ”

Gong Weixian couldn't help but be deflated and said: "Hitting a pole is not as difficult and tragic as beating a tartar, for those rabble, we don't talk about boiling water and splashing snow?" It's just that these poles are also composed of homeless people who can't survive, how much oil and water can they have? ”

"General Gong may not know yet, my colleague in the governor sent me a message a few days ago, saying that it was a man named Zhang Yuan, who was willing to pay 30,000 silver first in order to avenge the murder of his father and son in Woniu Mountain."

"Thirty thousand?" Gong Weixian didn't feel a stumble, Chen Hongfan also got up suddenly, and opened his mouth wide, 30,000, as long as he has these 30,000, then his remaining 30,000 soldiers and guests will be able to chew through the month, which is too tempting.

"Not only that, but 300,000 taels of looted furniture will not be recovered, which is also counted as a reward."

At this moment, even Guo Weiquan couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up suddenly, stared at Nazan and said, "Mr. wants to scold me." ”

"Oh, Dashuai, when is this coming, where else do I have the heart to scold you? Now that we're ventilated, we can't separate each other anymore. ”

"I'm sorry sir." When it came to this, Guo Weiquan also let go of the estrangement with Zanhua, and said frankly: "But I misunderstood Mr. before, and I am here to apologize to you." ”

Nazanhua was overjoyed in his heart, even if he had gained a firm foothold in the border army, where did he dare to really accept the great gift of the general soldier of this town, he hurriedly avoided it sideways, and then hurriedly returned the salute, and the dark clouds of this day were dispersed.

Guo Weiquan sighed: "Sir, have you forgotten? We are border soldiers, and without the promotion of the governors of the three sides, we cannot leave the training ground without permission, and we can only look at the white flowers and silver helplessly. ”

When the other two deputy commanders thought about it, they sat down in frustration.

When Nazanhua heard this, he laughed and said: "Don't be anxious, this is not in a hurry, it is naturally the governor of Yansui who is in a hurry, and he will definitely ask the governor to send troops." Looking at the puzzled eyes of the three people, Nazanhua said confidently again: "Three or five days for more, one or two days for less, and the transfer documents must arrive." ”

Looking at this well-informed praise and painting guarantee, Guo Weiquan thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "Two generals, you two will go back to appease your subordinates." ”

"But—" The two deputy commanders stopped in embarrassment.

"When you go back, I will give the order at once and kill the horse."

Nazanhua looked at the backs of the two brave and warlike deputy commanders who left happily, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, what's wrong with this Daming? Warriors who have survived a hundred battles have to risk violating military discipline to kill war horses for their lives, why is this?

In fact, the current Yan'an Governor's Mansion, as judged by this praise painting, has entered a dilemma.

The Mizhi War has been over for more than a month, Yue Hesheng also reported the flowery twists and turns to the Emperor of the Ministry of War, and the entire Yansui stretched their necks and waited for the emperor to issue an edict and reward, but this letter was like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no news, and it was not said that it was a punishment or a reward, it was hung like that, making people uncomfortable in the clouds.

In such a worry, there was good news from Yulin Border Town, that is, the Tartars were gone, which made the apprehensive Yue Hesheng breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could breathe out his breath, the official document of the chief military officer of Yulin Town urging food and salary arrived on the desk.

It is said that this time the Mongolian Tatars entered the Kou and eroded Yulin Town for 800 miles, and the Yulin border army resisted hard, and the reward was indispensable, but not to mention the reward, even the original arrears of military salaries could not be made up now.

A rice fat was robbed clean by the pole, and the rest of the money and grain from all over the country were paid to the household department, and it was not enough, where was there still half a grain for the border army, and it was the way to protect the officials to meet the performance of the imperial court, and those Qiu Ba should stay aside.

However, the official documents of the border army urging food were sealed several times a day, and there was a meaning of the border army mutiny in addition to the plea, which made Yue Hesheng uneasy, but don't really carry this head-killing black pot again.

When Yue Hesheng was in a hurry, an official document from the Ministry of War in Beijing was passed to his desk one after another.

He opened it to watch it with anxiety, and he was so frightened that his face was as pale as paper, and he couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes were straight and he couldn't speak anymore.

Qian Zan, who was standing behind him, saw it, and hurriedly leaned over to pick up the official document that fell to the ground, and quietly glanced at it, only to see that there were only a few simple words on it: "The emperor inquired, now that the county seat has been restored, where is the head of the thief?" ”

The study became deathly silent, except for the sound of Yue Hesheng's snoring and panting, and the seventy-year-old governor seemed to be dying all at once.

Qian Zanhua stepped forward lightly and said: "Old man, the day before yesterday, the student got a rice fat merchant to pass the news, and said that Zhao Dahai said something inexplicably, now the student thinks about it carefully, it seems that the Lying Niu Mountain Thief also knows that what he is doing is too public, this is to lift him away, old man Zu, once these thieves become rogue bandits, then it will be more difficult to encircle and suppress in the future, old man Zu still take an idea." ”

Yue Hesheng shook his head weakly and said, "Although I am in charge of the Dusi and Yansui guards, you can also see that their pickled things can't even defend the city, and they still expect them to attack?" ”

Qian Zanhua respectfully gave a salute and confidently suggested: "Since the student got the news of the shopkeeper, I have thought about it carefully, and now there is an immature strategy to encircle and suppress my husband and ask my ancestor to decide. ”

"With the light, you are my confidant, since you have a good plan to say." Since inadvertently transferring this money and light to his side, he has really got a talent, and it is unsurprising that he has made suggestions, and he has also begun to praise and listen to this money as a confidant.

Qian Zanhua still said cautiously: "In order to take the head of the thief and hand over to the emperor, the students formulated a strategy to block the front and chase after the back, and it was difficult for Lu Shi to fly in the Woniu Mountain." ”

"What is a front block?"

"My husband and ancestor can write thieves to the south, along the way around the thousands of households, as well as the local county order, rectify the military households, or rely on the fortified city or rely on the terrain to intercept the thieves, and then report to the governor of the three sides, Yang He, Yang Inspector, and send the border army to chase behind, surround the thieves in a suitable place, and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"However, as soon as the border army moves, it is money and food, where is the money and food to support the army now?" Yue Hesheng knew that this method was the most appropriate, but money and food were a hurdle that could not be overcome.

"This is what the local officials are worried about, it is much more cost-effective to raise money and food than to lose their official positions."

Yue Hesheng was stunned for a long time, it was originally a great achievement, but this time he had to cheapen the border army, but the border army's military exploits could not exonerate himself, it seems that his career is over.

In the end, he nodded unwillingly, and said weakly: "Then the governor of the three sides, Lord Yang, ask the border soldiers to enter and suppress it." In the future, all encirclement and suppression matters will be more difficult and light to plan. After saying this, the rickety man slowly walked out of the study and turned back to the back hall.

After getting the Shang Fang Sword, Qian Zanhua breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but burn a raging fire in his heart, and it was time for him to show it.

There is no secret at all in the Ming Dynasty's marching plan, not only does it not have the idea of hiding secretly, but in order to boost the morale of the army, it is even more publicized about the dispatch of troops.

The slogan of the border army is: "Kill the cow (Woniu Mountain) for the New Year"
