Shen Xi was entangled in whether to leave Fuzhou early and avoid the official document from the imperial court to send him back to Beijing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After thinking about it, Shen Xi felt that instead of dodging and appearing "a thief", it was better to face it calmly...... You don't necessarily have to go to the northwest to return to Beijing, and if you go to the northwest, you don't necessarily really be sent to death as a pioneer.

When things are at the worst they will mend!

Shen Xi's mood was relatively optimistic: "When I went to the northwest to deliver artillery, I met the Tatars by mistake, thinking that at that time there were only 200 shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and in the end it was not enough to turn the tide?" ”

"Now I am no longer a pawn, and I may be able to lead the second-grade official position such as the governor of Yansui, which is the envy of others, and with a point of power, I can exert my strength."

Such thoughts are more self-soothing.

It is expected that there are only two years left before the death of Emperor Hongzhi, and due to the butterfly effect, it is a question whether Zhu Youzhi can live to the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, and Shen Xi has to plan for his future. As a prescient person, knowing that the Ming Dynasty in the early years of Zhengde would usher in a change, and still stupidly plunged into it, it would be a fool, and maybe it would be a good choice to lead troops on three sides.

On May 15, the day after Shen Xi arrived in Fuzhou City, the official documents of the imperial court were transmitted to him through the political envoy Si Yamen.

Just as Yu Niang and Tao Yan, the former Fujian envoy, informed him, the officials requisitioned him back to Beijing, and his official position remained unchanged for the time being.

After returning to the capital, what is the use of the imperial court, Shen Xi guessed that he should go to the northwest to perform his duties as described by Tao Yan, maybe before others arrived in Beijing, he would receive an official letter, asking him to turn around and go to the three sides.

“…… My lord, why do you want to go back to Shuntianfu? This battle is only half fought, the soldiers are still waiting to make contributions with you, the wives and children at home are still waiting for rewards, and those recruits are waiting for military merits, and then take the reward money to go back to marry their daughters-in-law and have cubs! ”

Shen Xi took his entourage out of the city and came to the military camp in the south of Fuzhou to discuss the matter, and as soon as he said the news that he was going back to Beijing, there was a sudden uproar in the big tent of the Chinese army.

After the victory of the Battle of Nanao Mountain, with the issuance of Shen Xi's award, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armies was full of morale, and they were waiting for the northbound bandits to expand the results of the battle, but Shen Xi, the most important commander, was about to leave halfway through. Not to mention that the participating troops will not do it, the soldiers below will definitely be noisy, and the coastal people will be even more disappointed.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, Shen Xi led the army of bandits, this is a winning army, the expedition has not tasted defeat so far, everyone has high hopes for Shen Xi and his 4,000 square bandit soldiers and horses, the local government requisitioned a large number of money, food and materials to accompany him, and even Shen Xi himself has invested hugely!

This means that the troops will be withdrawn, which means that there is no return for all the money.

Shen Xi said: "Do you think this official is willing to leave?" But this is the order of the imperial court, it is the emperor's will, and now my emperor's order is difficult to disobey, but you want to stop it? ”

The generals present used to disdain the officials sent by the imperial court, because those people were either corrupt officials who sucked the blood of soldiers or stupid and incompetent mediocre officials.

Only Shen Xi is obviously a hairy boy who doesn't seem to have much ability, but he has been with Shen Xi for less than a year, and everyone admires Shen Xi so much at this time.

Now Shen Xi's prestige in the three provinces is very high, and the officers and soldiers follow Shen Xi, eat and drink spicy food, have no worries about fighting, and when they get to the battlefield, everyone fights bravely for the sake of interests......

Jing Yue scolded angrily: "What kind of thing is this? In the past, Lao Tzu didn't want to fight, but when Lord Shen came, he had to be frightened when he ate bran vegetables, lest he die on the battlefield and no one would care about his mother-in-law and cubs. It's good at this time, Lao Tzu followed Lord Shen to fight, just after a good time, I thought that I should kill the Quartet next and earn military merits, but the court transferred Lord Shen away, and the emperor Lao Er obviously can't see us! ”

"Yes, yes!"

Jing Yue clearly said disrespectful words, but in exchange for the generals present, they echoed it.

Originally, the soldiers of the three armies should be loyal to the emperor, but the emperor was too far away to bring tangible benefits to the officers and soldiers, so Shen Xi became the emperor's special envoy, and the soldiers felt that being loyal to Shen Xi was loyal to the emperor and the court, and doing things was justified.

But when Shen Xi was requisitioned and transferred, it involved the vital interests of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu became a sinner in their eyes.

How old is the emperor? If it weren't for Lord Shen, we would not only inherit this ready-made profession in our own lives, but even our children and grandchildren would inherit this ready-made profession and serve the court for the rest of our lives, but the money allocated by the court was all withheld by Shangguan, and it was difficult for us to support our families.

Shen Xi couldn't tolerate a group of generals scolding the emperor here, and shouted: "You are the official army of the Ming Dynasty, serving the country, how can you be disrespectful to Your Majesty?" ”

Shen Xi's words worked at any time, and even if Jing Yue and the others were dissatisfied in their hearts, they could only bow down and obey their orders. In the past half a year or so, a group of soldiers have been accustomed to obeying orders, who can listen to Shen Xi's words to eat and drink spicy, and if they don't listen to Shen Xi's merits, they can't even die without a place to be buried?

Jing Yue said: "My lord, what should I do next?" Will you go back to the capital or not? What if you come back? Is it disbanded on the spot, and each goes back to his own house to find his own mother-in-law? ”

"Yes, my lord, you have to give us an explanation, the soldiers are waiting to eat with you. Those bandits in the north have fled in despair when they hear your name, and if they change someone else to lead the troops, I am afraid that the people will not be convinced. Sun Xinian and other generals were also on the side to help.

Shen Xi said: "As far as this official knows, the imperial court has requisitioned Pan Fan, the right attendant of the Nanjing Criminal Department, as the governor of Liangguang to control the military affairs of Liangguang...... After that, all the matters related to the bandits should be handed over to Pan Shilang to be responsible! ”

Jing Yue almost roared and said: "What Pan Fan, what is the right attendant of the Nanjing Criminal Department, Lao Tzu has never heard of it, Lao Tzu recognized Shen as the governor of Shen, and replaced someone else and did not want to dispatch Lao Tzu!" My lord, give me a word, and the brothers will follow you, or ......."

"Or do you want to rebel?"

Shen Xi asked with a gloomy face, and no one present dared to speak.

Since ancient times, the generals who rebelled were basically shelved by the people below, but in history, the rebellion was less than one percent, one person became the emperor after becoming famous, and the other ninety-nine were drowned in the tide of history, no matter how prestigious and capable they were, they would be defined as "chaotic ministers and thieves" by the history books recorded by Confucianism, and their original merits were completely denied.

This is an era when the winner is king and the loser is the loser!

Shen Xi asked himself if he didn't have the appeal to be an emperor, even if he had the foresight to be an emperor, he had to bow his head to reality and be a "loyal minister and good general" respected by Confucianism.

Shen Xi said: "No matter what Pan Shilang will do in the future, in the opinion of this official, this peace of bandit should come to an end for the time being." I will not hide it from you, but I will return to Beijing on this trip, and it is very likely that I will go to the northwest to fight the Tatars, and the northwest is dangerous, and it is unknown whether I will have the opportunity to drink and talk with you in the future. ”

As soon as Shen Xi said this, the following generals were excited, basically standing on Shen Xi's side and criticizing the style of the imperial court's order to change every day, all of them regarded Shen Xi as a big tree, originally thought that it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but the court regretted sending Shen Xi to Guangdong and moved to the northwest.

Jing Yue said: "My lord, why don't you ask the imperial court for instructions, let the brothers follow you to the northwest, and let us continue to fight with you and the Tatars, what do you think?" ”

With a little achievement, they all thought that they were capable, and they didn't even understand the bandits, and they didn't understand how many defensive and offensive formations there were on the battlefield, so they dared to say that they were going to fight the Tatars?

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Don't look at the border army's nest will only shrink out, and I'd rather be a shrinking turtle than fight the Tatars head-on, but the border army at least has long-term experience in fighting with the Tatars, and knows how to avoid their sharpness. ”

Of course, Shen Xi can't say these words to these coarse people, it is a trivial matter to hit their self-confidence, and this group of people will not accept it and then mess around, causing a mutiny in the army, then it will become a big thing.

"The Tatars are not easy to fight!"

Shen Xi sighed, "This official has had a brief confrontation with the Tatars in the northwest, and he knows very well that the Tatars are no better than the grass robbers, even if you kill the enemy bravely, the border soldiers may not be able to comprehend it, and the long-standing habit of the nine sides is to defend the city fortress and not fight with the thieves, and it is useless for you to go!" ”

These remarks are also pertinent, not only to tell the fierceness of the Tatars, but also not to hit the self-confidence of this group of people, but also to explain the situation of the border army for a long time.

Jing Yue and the others were really a little unconvinced, Jing Yue said: "Then the adults gave an order, or these four thousand brothers, go to the grassland, maybe they can do the great thing of sealing the wolf and leaving a name for eternity, isn't it happy?" ”

Hurry up, you motherfuck!

Sure enough, those who don't know are fearless, Shen Xi thought to himself, the imperial court is now worried about which way to let the soldiers and horses be the pioneers, who would dare to take the hot potato? Who picks up and who is sent to death.

If Shen Xi really plays the imperial court like this, it is very likely that he will be allowed by the imperial court, after all, every time there is a major military movement in the frontier, the imperial court will recruit troops and horses from all over the country, since the soldiers and horses of your three southeastern provinces are so "brave", I will arrange the opportunity to "seal the wolf and live in Xu" to you, don't come back if you don't achieve your goal!

Shen Xi said coldly: "This official went north to the three sides, but he did it according to orders, you are the generals of the guard, and you belong to the localities, how can you trespass on things that you shouldn't think about?" Even if this peace of bandits ends here, this official will still reward the three armies and ask the court for credit for you, you will have the opportunity to go to the three sides in the future and serve the country, and maybe you will serve under this official account at that time! ”

Although Shen Xi knew that he could no longer lead the army of bandits at this time, he still had to give these people an almost illusory hope, and let them strive for this goal, so as not to lead this group of people astray.

These people may not be of great use when they go to the northwest, but they are trained by him all the way, and they are quite combative, and they are a force that cannot be underestimated when they are gathered together. (To be continued.) )
