Chapter 722: Appointment (Subscription Requested!) )
Just when Zhang Twelve was wondering, the clever little black fat man who spoke before couldn't see it, and spoke: "Uncle Zhang, Brother Qiu turned out to be the deputy general of our Quzhou City, and his prestige in the army is very high, the brothers don't accept Song Dashan, but no one disagrees with Brother Qiu!" ”
"Oh? Since he is a lieutenant general, why does he himself say that he has no official and no position? ”
"Uncle Zhang, this has to start with that Song shirt!"
"Forget it, I'll talk about it!"
Before the little black fat man could speak, he was interrupted by Qiu Zhengdao, and then listened to Qiu Zhengdao speak slowly.
It turned out that although Qiu Zhengdao was Song Dashan's lieutenant, he was very dissatisfied with many of Song Dashan's practices, such as the additional collection of taxes, Qiu Zhengdao repeatedly objected.
At the beginning, Song Dashan thought that Qiu Zhengdao saw that he had collected so many taxes into his pocket, and his eyes were red!
At that time, he didn't take it seriously, because for him, what can be solved with money is never called a thing!
So he promised that as long as he collected taxes in the future, he would give Qiu Zhengdao a hundred percent after collecting it!
This percent doesn't seem to be much, but because Song Dashan collects taxes from time to time in Quzhou City, it adds up to a lot, and this year, Yicheng's tax is also much more than Qiu Zhengdao's Yulu, so in Song Dashan's opinion, this is a fat difference that has not been refused!
But what he didn't expect was that Qiu Zhengdao really refused!
This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Song Dashan, which provoked Song Dashan very unpleasantly.
Of course, taxes should still be collected, even if Qiu Zhengdao is against it - what's the use of him opposing it? In Song Dashan's eyes, Qiu Zhengdao is just a dog under him, do you have to listen to a dog for what you do? If you provoke him, kill the dog!
But because of this incident, Song Dashan began to slowly distance himself from his lieutenant, if it weren't for the lack of suitable candidates under his subordinates, Song Dashan would have removed Qiu Zhengdao's position as deputy general a long time ago!
However, even if he didn't withdraw, he no longer reused Qiu Zhengdao, and he deliberately didn't look for Qiu Zhengdao for many important things, and although Qiu Zhengdao still had the name of deputy general, it was actually a virtual reality.
And just two days ago, Song Dashan finally found a suitable candidate, that is, Zhou Bobo, who was shot by Zhang Twelve on the city wall, Zhou Yuanwai's nephew, I don't know what deal the two reached, anyway, he directly took off Qiu Zhengdao's official position as a deputy general, and let Zhou Bobo ascend to the sky in one step and become a deputy general!
Therefore, Qiu Zhengdao is really unofficial and unemployed now!
Zhang Twelve listened, and said in his heart This is really right, this Qiu Zhengdao was a deputy general before, he has some experience, and the officers and soldiers in the city know him, and his prestige is also very high, if he is selected as the new guard of Quzhou City, it can be said that he will get twice the result with half the effort, seamless docking!
So he smiled and said: "Qiu Zhengdao, if I let you be the guard of Quzhou City, can you do a good job?" ”
"Uncle Zhang...... This...... I ......"
Qiu Zhengdao obviously didn't think that he could encounter such a pie-in-the-sky good thing, and he was directly stunned on the spot, and he was a little hesitant to speak.
"Now it's the time for me to employ people, because I'm going to go north to Jingzhou, and it's impossible to stay here for a long time, so I need a trustworthy person to help me guard Quzhou, can you?"
Seeing that Zhang Twelve trusted him so much, Qiu Zhengdao was very moved, thought for a while, and then said firmly: "Uncle Zhang, I can!" However, I hope to be able to lead the officers and soldiers of Quzhou City to follow in your footsteps and go to Jingzhou together! For the first emperor, for the common people in the world, Tang Yizhi with a blade! ”
Qiu Zhengdao saw that there were only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers brought by Zhang Shishi, so he thought of bringing the officers and soldiers of Quzhou to help him.
Zhang Twelve smiled and waved his hand, "No need!" ”
Then he looked at Qiu Zhengdao and asked, "When I attacked the city just now, were you on the city wall?" ”
Qiu Zhengdao nodded, but his face was a little red, because when the first wave of people fled under the city wall just now, he also wanted to flee with him, but before he could reach him, Song Da Yi stopped the people.
So he was passively standing on the wall.
But if this kind of thing is said and others know that he is a soft egg who escaped, of course he is embarrassed.
However, Zhang Twelve didn't pay attention to his face, but continued: "Since you are on the city wall, you should have seen it, your tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Quzhou, plus the city wall, are not worth mentioning in front of me!" ”
After saying this, there was silence in the hall.
Zhang Twelve's words are full of momentum, but for the officers and soldiers of Quzhou, there is a sense of slap in the face, after Zhang Twelve finished speaking, it stands to reason that as the defender of the city, he should feel ashamed!
But they were facing Zhang Twelve, and because they were happy to see Zhang Twelve's victory, they were not disgusted by his words, but they just felt a little shocked!
Just now, Zhang Twelve used a black cylindrical iron tool from under the city wall to lead the sky to thunder and blow up the city wall, and I can't help but feel chilling when I think about it!
Qiu Zhengdao nodded solemnly and said, "It turns out that I have only heard that Zhang Xianbo's Xiao Li Flying Knife can defeat the Xiliang cavalry and force Xiliang to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty, and there are still many people who have doubts about this at that time!"
But if Zhang Xianbo's siege of the city is spread today, I'm afraid no one will doubt it anymore! ”
Zhang Twelve smiled, and then said: "So, there are not many soldiers, but the essence is expensive!" If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have taken such officers and soldiers out of the city!
Therefore, it is better for General Qiu to stay in Quzhou honestly, first, everyone trusts and supports you, and it is most suitable for you to take over Quzhou City. Besides, if I leave, Tang Yizhi will send someone over again, with you, I don't have to worry about Tang Yizhi taking over Quzhou again!
The most important point is that I don't think you are a person who oppresses the people, and I can rest assured that you are the parent official of Quzhou City! ”
Hearing that Zhang Twelve trusted himself so much, and directly called himself "Qiu Shoujiang", obviously recognizing him, Qiu Zhengdao couldn't sit still excitedly, and immediately got up to show his loyalty: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, as long as I am the guard of Quzhou City, I will not loot the people, exempt from taxes, and let the people live a good life!" ”
Zhang Twelve listened and nodded very gratefully.
Hearing that Qiu Zhengdao was designated by Zhang 12 as the new guard of Quzhou City, those officers and soldiers all cheered, they usually called Qiu Zhengdao big brother, even if he was not a deputy general, they still called him as usual, which shows their support for Qiu Zhengdao.
Now that their eldest brother has become a Quzhou guard, how can they be unhappy?
………………
When everyone was excited, Hao Zhengyi was the only one who felt slightly disappointed.
Zhang Twelve let himself follow him, and Hao Zhengyi's mind began to turn, thinking that Zhang Twelve would definitely not call himself for no reason, and he would definitely be entrusted with a heavy task!
He thought of Song Dashan just died, but Quzhou City is now a guard, is it possible, Zhang Twelve will make him a Quzhou guard?
If you think about it, this kind of thing seems unlikely, but once this kind of thought comes to mind, it will never linger again!
When he heard that Zhang Twelve asked Qiu Zhengdao to be a guard, Hao Zhengyi woke up like a dream, and pursed his lips a little self-deprecatingly, and secretly said to himself: Hao Zhengyi, you really dare to think about it! A flat-headed commoner, who can't even fight, really thinks he can be a guard?
Just when Hao Zhengyi was laughing at himself, Zhang Twelve happened to notice his face, so he said with a smile: "Hao Zhengyi, are you a little disappointed?" ”
"Ahh......h Not disappointed! ”
Hao Zhengyi was stunned at first, and then immediately replied: "Uncle Zhang, the little one is just a flat-headed person, although he is a little smart, but he is more self-aware, and a rough person like me can only do some rough work!"
Uncle Zhang, if you don't dislike it, this time you will go north to Jingzhou, and I implore Uncle Zhang to take me! ”
Hao Zhengyi made up his mind, following Zhang Twelve, there will definitely be a lot of benefits in the future, if he really takes Jingzhou and kills Tang Yizhi, then won't he be a founding father in the future?
Who knows, Zhang Twelve still didn't agree to him.
I saw Zhang Twelve shake his head and said, "No, I keep you, but there are other uses!" ”
Then he opened his mouth and asked: "In addition to the guard of Song Dashan, there should be a prefect in this Quzhou city, right?" Why did I come to the city and never heard of the prefect? ”
A city, a civil prefect, a military general and a general, are indispensable, and the combination of the two is the real parent official of a city.
Generally speaking, the guard general is only responsible for things like defending the city, and any things like collecting taxes are in the hands of the prefect, but why did he hear that Song Dashan, as a guard general, was even in charge of such things as collecting taxes!
It's a bit unbelievable!
Hearing Zhang Twelve's question, Qiu Zhengdao immediately replied: "Uncle Zhang doesn't know anything!" ”
Then as if thinking of something, he shook his head and continued: "There is naturally a prefect in the city, but this prefect is like a fictitious one, just take the money, and don't care about anything else!" ”
So, Qiu Zhengdao poured bitter water with Zhang Twelve.
After Zhang Twelve listened, he finally understood.
It turns out that there is indeed a prefect surnamed Feng in Quzhou City, but this Feng prefect may be looking at Song Dashan's strong background, in order to please Song Dashan, and to save trouble for himself. So he simply let everything to Song Da Shirt to do, and he simply made a hands-off shopkeeper, although he hung the name of the prefect, but he didn't have to do anything, and Song Da Shirt Yueyue would give him money to spend, Feng Governor was not good!
Hearing this, Zhang Twelve was not only not angry, but laughed.
It couldn't be better!
So he laughed and said, "Since this Governor Feng is so inactive, what's the use of asking him to do so?" ”
Then he glanced at Hao Zhengyi and said, "Hao Zhengyi, if you are asked to take over the position of the surname Feng, you may be able to do it?" ”
"This ......"
Hao Zhengyi didn't expect that Zhang Twelve would leave the position of the prefect to him, and he was still immersed in loss, but now he suddenly came to such a big surprise, and the whole person was a little stunned.
However, after adjusting it, he looked at Zhang Twelve with a firm look in his eyes and said: "As long as Uncle Zhang can afford the small one, the small one will definitely not disappoint Uncle Zhang, and he will definitely go to the soup for Uncle Zhang, and he will not hesitate to do so!" ”
Zhang Twelve shook his head with a smile and said: "Wrong, you are not for me, but for the welfare of the people of Quzhou City, and for the people of Quzhou City to live a good life, you have to work harder!" ”
Hao Zhengyi listened and nodded again and again.
Zhang Twelve stood up and said, "Since this is the case, then it is decided!" Anyway, now that we have nothing to do, let's go to the prefect together to hand over this matter! ”
"Good!"
At this moment, Hao Zhengyi was full of enthusiasm, and immediately echoed, and walked out with Zhang Twelve.
………………
The prefect's mansion was not too far from the guard's mansion, and Zhang Twelve and they arrived in a short time.
The catchers outside the prefect's mansion were lazily leaning against the wall, very lazy.
Zhang Twelve looked at it and frowned, was seen by Hao Zhengyi next to him, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, after I take office, this situation will definitely not happen again!" ”
Zhang Twelve nodded and continued to walk inside.
At this time, those fast catchers reacted, immediately bowed up from the wall, and then blocked in front of Zhang Twelve.
"Who are you? Why did you dare to break into the prefect's court? ”
The catcher glanced at Zhang Twelve and felt that his face was tight, but when he looked back at Qiu Zhengdao and the people behind him, he was immediately stunned.
He didn't know Zhang Twelve, but he knew Qiu Zhengdao, so he frowned and asked, "Qiu Zhengdao, why are you here?" ”
With this quick understanding, at this time, Qiu Zhengdao should follow Song Dayi to defend the city on the city wall, how could he appear here?
Could it be that Song Dashan has already repelled Zhang Twelve, who came to attack the city?
Scold!
That's kind of amazing!
I didn't expect that Song Da shirt doesn't look very capable on weekdays, this is really a battle, but it is not ambiguous, and he is also a good hand!
However, even if Song Dashan wins the battle, this Qiu Zhengdao is now just an ordinary guard, and he can't break into the prefect's court if he talks about it on the same level as his position!
"You don't have to ask! Can Governor Feng be in court? ”
Qiu Zhengdao didn't look at this catch from beginning to end, but asked in a cold voice, full of momentum.
When I heard it, I was not happy at the time!
What is it! Still playing big names with me?
So he said in a cold voice: "Governor Feng is not here, I don't need to tell you!" Besides, even if your Song Shou is coming, you have to let us report it, what kind of thing are you, you dare to enter our prefect's mansion directly? Aren't you afraid that Governor Feng will know about this and say a word to General Song Shou, and he will punish you? ”
"Bold!"
As soon as the catcher finished speaking, he didn't wait for Qiu Zhengdao to reply, and an officer and soldier behind him couldn't stand it!
Qiu Zhengdao is the current guard of Quzhou City, and the catcher in front of him is worthless compared to him, daring to talk to him like this is simply bold!
(I've been a little busy lately, and I've just finished my yard...... )
