Chapter 36: King Qin (2)

Zhang Mengjing fell, the governor had a serious illness, and after Lang Zhong's diagnosis and treatment, he was asked to recuperate, not to hurt his body, otherwise his life would be in danger.

Lang Zhong's request, Zhang Mengjing has never done, in the governor of Yansui, in terms of civil affairs, there is a great drought, then heavy snow, disasters are continuous, and thieves are everywhere; In terms of military affairs, the northern captives went south to kill and plunder, and the border soldiers could not resist; In terms of administering the army, the generals were corrupt, withheld their salaries, and the soldiers were cold, hungry and angry, and refused to do their best to protect their families and defend the country.

In this way, Zhang Mengjing has to work hard every day to maintain the overall situation of Yansui, his body has long been overwhelmed, he can live until now, all rely on King Qin's belief in sharing worries for his father, and now King Qin's army is defeated, King Qin's things can't be done, he lost his faith, and he got angry many times, so he fell ill.

Moreover, this disease is very serious, Lang Zhong is helpless, and Zhang Mengjing is about to die.

"Military Gate, Military Gate." Sun Kuisheng and Liu Renyu called softly beside the sickbed.

"The soldiers of Yansui Town are all scattered, why are you still here?" After Zhang Mengjing was awakened, his heart was like ashes, but when he saw Sun Kuisheng and Liu Renyu was still there, he was surprised in his heart, so he asked.

"The military gate, the military department is called Yansui Town Qinwang, the soldiers and horses of other departments are gone, and the soldiers and horses of our department are still there, although there are fewer people, less than a thousand people, but finally there are soldiers in Yansui Town, and please recover quickly from the military gate, and take me to Beijing to share the worries of the monarch." The other armies were exhausted, and Sun Kuisheng's guerrilla rank was the largest here, and he was given priority to reply.

"The construction of slaves is strong, and the soldiers are very sharp, so don't go if you don't have any soldiers and horses. Your loyalty and bravery, this court will report to the emperor to know, it is enough to have the heart of loyalty to the monarch and serve the country, go back, and live well. And this hospital will not recover. Zhang Mengjing was very satisfied with Sun Kuisheng and Liu Renyu's loyal and courageous behavior, and said this.

"Junmen, I'll wait ......."

"Oh, ahem, ahem, ahem........"

Sun Kuisheng originally planned to persuade again, not to be wary of Zhang Mengjing's violent coughing.

Seeing this, the governor's doorman was in a hurry, he grabbed a few steps, crossed in front of Liu Renyu and Sun Kuisheng, and said urgently: "You guys go down quickly, don't say any more, let the military gate rest for a while." ”

"Yes, yes." Sun Kuisheng and Liu Renyu hurriedly said goodbye and left.

When the two went out, they passed by Lang Zhong.

On the same day, Lang Zhong prescribed medicine one after another, and the governor poured the decoction into Zhang Mengjing's mouth at a price, but it was useless.

Yansui Governor Zhang Mengjing is seriously ill, although Bian Que, Hua Tuo can not be cured in his life, he returned to the light, and when he returned to the light, he specially ordered the people to recruit Liu Renyu to see him.

"What are you recruiting me for?" Liu Renyu is very unaware.

When he came to Zhang Mengjing's sickbed, Liu Renyu bowed down and said hello.

After the salute of the superiors and subordinates was completed, Zhang Mengjing said something that made Liu Renyu sweat.

"Dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings. Renyu, have you heard of it? ”

Hearing this, Liu Renyu was startled at first, then he looked at Zhang Mengjing, and finally he replied calmly: "I have heard from others, this is the slogan that Emperor Taizu Wu of the Ming Dynasty used when he started his army in the past. ”

"Exactly, when I watched your troops that day, my eyes lit up, and I immediately sent someone to inquire about your deeds. Your soldiers really say everything. Dig a deep hole, you dig; Accumulate grain, and you have accumulated; As a military attaché, you don't love money, you don't love women, but you refine soldiers, open schools, and buy administrative schools, your ambitions are not small. Zhang Mengjing is a high-achieving student who won the imperial examination, and a civil official who has fought for many years, and his IQ and EQ are extremely high, and he seems to have seen something from Liu Renyu's strange behavior.

"Junmen, you are teasing the small one, how can the small one be compared with Emperor Taizu Wu, the small one is a general, back to the homeland, just want to return to the roots, plus revenge for his father, as for what ambition you said, the small one doesn't understand, and he doesn't dare to understand." How can you admit this kind of thing, you have to explain it quickly.

"Yes! Our army has been broken, but your army is not. I'm very puzzled, since the Jiannu incident, there have been countless Ming soldiers who have killed me, and the border soldiers have all lost their hearts when they heard the name of Jiannu, you only have such a small number of soldiers who dare to fight 100,000 soldiers in Jiannu, aren't you afraid that there will be no return? Zhang Mengjing asked.

"The military gate, the small one returned from Taixi, alone, always have to find a place to eat, the imperial examination is naturally hopeless, only by virtue of a body of force, throw yourself into the army to kill the enemy. Joining the army, to the big one, called to protect the family and defend the country, to the small one, called to get promoted to make a fortune, this time to go to the king of Qin, the so-called wealth and danger of seeking, if you are lucky to kill a few slaves, you can naturally be promoted to a few levels, if not, the husband will die. ”

"Well, that's polite, but I'm too worried. Haha, the old man is dying, and he still wants to do this. When Zhang Mengjing said this, he suddenly felt that he was going to die, and he didn't forget to guard against the generals, and he was also a little boss, which was really funny.

Liu Renyu and Zhang Mengjing exchanged a few words, and they really understood something from it.

On the one hand, the style of acting in Zhenbei Fort is very different from other military forts, and it cannot be widely circulated, so as not to attract the attention of people with intentions;

On the other hand, the soldiers were open-mouthed and deliberately showy, making Zhenbei Fort too prominent, for fear of attracting envy, so that from tonight onwards, they must do a good job of secrecy;

The three, this old civil official is dying, and he is still thinking about guarding against the little general, the civil official is too terrible, before he gathers enough strength, he can't be a high-ranking official such as a general, a deputy general, and a general soldier, so as not to be constrained and controlled, and this time he goes out to fight, saying that he can't get too much military merit, so as not to be promoted too high and lose the Zhenbeibao base.

When Liu Renyu was thinking about himself, Zhang Mengjing said again: "The situation here, I have written it on the fold, thinking that the people will be sent to Beijing, I see that your soldiers are very strong, so I will entrust the people to you, you must bring my people to Beijing." ”

"Yes, Junmen." It turns out that this is the right thing, but what I said earlier was just the opening remarks, and the civilian officials habitually beat the military attaché.

"Well, very good, Shengqiao, you come here." Zhang Mengjing called.

"Yes, sir." An old man named Shengqiao, with a sad look on his face, paced up.

"This is Liu Renyu, the general manager of Zhenbei Fort." Zhang Mengjing first introduced Liu Renyu.

"Lord Liu." The man saluted.

Liu Renyu hurriedly returned the salute, and even said that he didn't dare to be called an adult.

The man and Zhang Mengjing both smiled and did not speak.

"This is an old man who has followed me for decades, called Zhang Shengqiao." Zhang Mengjing introduced again.

Liu Renyu is a salute again.

After introducing the two sides to each other, Zhang Mengjing said to Zhang Shengqiao: "General Liu's subordinates are very strong, I asked him to take you into Beijing, you are polite to General Liu on the way, after the matter is done, you will go back to your hometown, before that, you have to send someone to bring my coffin back to your hometown, understand?" ”

"Master, your illness will definitely be cured, and you will not die." This Zhang Shengqiao didn't agree to things first, but just said that Zhang Mengjing would get better or something.

"Shengqiao, my family knows my own affairs, and I'm about to go. This is destiny. By the way, self-enlightened reading, you have been my scholar, how many years have you been now? Zhang Mengjing's face suddenly changed from pale to flushed, and it was obvious that the time limit had come.

"Master, the old slave doesn't remember, I'm afraid it's been more than 50 years."

"It's been so long, I think about how much trouble you and I caused back then, how many beatings we were beaten, and now you and I are old people."

"Old ,......。" The old man of the Summoning Bridge choked up and couldn't speak.

"Go back, take care of my family, go to the grave for me, I haven't returned to my hometown for many years, I haven't fulfilled my filial piety, if I don't make amends, I go underground, I'm afraid that my father won't recognize me."

"Master, although you have not returned to your hometown to worship for many years, but you are involved in state affairs, and there is a reason for it, and he will not blame you, Master."

"Haha, work for state affairs, work for state affairs, what's the use of working for work, now the situation is very different, years of disasters and famines, the soldiers are arrogant, the people are not happy, in the long run, what can I do, the emperor, the society is in danger, the society is in danger." Zhang Mengjing used all his strength, shouted a few words, and then opened his eyes and died on the bed.

"Sir." The doorman called Zhang Shengqiao howled sadly (this is true feelings).

"Military Gate." Liu Renyu also cried sadly (this is hypocrisy).

The two cried for a while, and Zhang Shengqiao wore linen and filial piety, and handled the funeral.

At the time of the funeral, Liu Renyu ordered his soldiers to put the extra spicy chili pepper in their mouths. Under the spicy pungency of all the soldiers, they all wept non-stop, and the sound of crying shook the world (it was really too spicy), which made the people of the Zhang family quite moved.

After the funeral of the governor, Zhang Shengqiao sent other people to return to Qidong County, Shandong Province with Zhang Mengjing's coffin, and he himself followed Liu Renyu's troops to carry out activities.

In the camp tent in Shenmu County, Liu Renyu and Sun Kuisheng said goodbye at the end.

"My lord, my soldiers and horses are all on horseback, and the baggage is escorted by carriages, go faster, then the humble post will be one step ahead, and go to Beijing to meet Jiannu, you bring your own soldiers and horses to follow up." Liu Renyu said.

"Renyu, since the bad accounts of the collapse of the soldiers and horses of King Qin's soldiers in Yansui Town this time are all counted in General Wu Bing, oh no, it's Wu Zimian's boss, then we don't have to go to King Qin, Renyu, you listen to my advice, don't go to King Qin, how can Jiannu be easy to provoke, don't get rich and noble, but lose your life." Sun Kuisheng persuaded gently.

Sun Kuisheng originally planned to take advantage of the collapse of the army to run back to Jingbian Fort, but was stopped by Liu Renyu. Liu Renyu said that he was going to kill a few Jiannu, and when the time came, he couldn't say that he could share the credit with him Sun Kuisheng.

"Your Excellency, just rest assured, the humble post has already set a perfect strategy, and you will definitely be able to kill a few Jiannu, I just hope that your Excellency can arrive in Beijing to receive the credit." Liu Renyu said confidently.

"You have killed the Beiyu, and you have some ability to think about it, I can trust you, but in case you can't defeat Jiannu and can't come back, you have a career in Beibao, can you have someone to maintain the overall situation?"

Sun Kuisheng said that he believed that Liu Renyu could escape from the hands of Jiannu, but in his heart, he still felt that this was impossible, so he asked about Liu Renyu's death.

"Alas, you still don't have confidence in me after all, you underestimate me too much." Liu Renyu scolded for a while, and then said: "In case you can't come back from your humble position, you can appoint any Ergou as the boss, he is quite capable of doing things, and he will treat adults as benefactors like I treat adults, or adults believe in him, but they can send their own capable generals to take over Zhenbei Fort." ”

"He Ergou, right, I wrote it down, I wrote it down, you are going to Jingshi, don't forget to send someone to send a message from time to time, so that I can understand the enemy situation and make a strategy early. Luckily. ”

Sun Kuisheng also said that Liu Renyu would be defeated, because he planned to go slowly, so that as soon as he received tangible news, he would go back, so as not to go too far and the cost would be too great. This is because he dragged the soldiers out of his own pocket, and it costs money.

"Yes, sir, just wait for my good news." After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he turned his horse and left.

After Sun Kuisheng saw Liu Renyu go away, he sighed faintly: "What a good subordinate, it's just gone." ”
