Volume 3 Chapter 13 Half of the Horse

Cao Wenzhao came so quickly did not surprise Zhang Bin, he originally thought that after arriving in Fujian anyway, he would have to mobilize people and horses to raise grain and grass, and Cao Wenzhao would not matter even if he came half a month late, so he did not specifically ask Cao Wenzhao to rush to Fujian as soon as possible.

Cao Wenzhao didn't think so, he had been in Liaodong for more than ten years, and he had already suffered enough of having no connections, and if he wanted to talk about military merits, it was enough for him to be promoted to the general army or even the governor, just because he had no connections, he worked hard for more than ten years before he was promoted to a guerrilla general with no rank.

This time, without any military exploits, he was inexplicably promoted to the general of the third grade, he knew that the connections of the person who promoted him must be quite amazing, just kidding, there is no need for any military exploits to directly mention the general, what a big connection!

He knows better that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this Lord Zhang is definitely a great person, if he can be introduced as a cronie, promoted to the chief soldier, or even the governor, it is not a dream, plus, Zhang Bin is also a gift to him, he is here to repay the favor, naturally he can't procrastinate.

Therefore, as soon as he received the order from the Ministry of War, he took his nephew and led ten personal guards to rush all the way to Fujian.

At this time, Zhang Bin's connections have indeed reached a rather terrifying level, the current British Duke Zhang Weixian, the future Dongchang Admiral Cao Huachun, the future Jinyi Wei Commander Luo Yangxing, and even Emperor Chongzhen, he can all get involved!

Under his deliberate creation, the foundation for future power is already there, and now, what he has to do is to make achievements, win Chongzhen's appreciation, and then, blow all the way to the sky!

After meeting with Cao Wenzhao, Zhang Bin led a group of subordinates, non-stop, straight to Fuzhou Mansion, a day later, in the afternoon, Fuzhou Mansion City was already in sight.

With the lesson of being stopped at Hengtangyi last time, Zhang Bin sent someone to Fuzhou Mansion to say hello early, and the officials in Fujian should know that he, the governor, has arrived.

When the governor of a province takes office, officials at all levels should not say that they will be welcomed out for hundreds of miles, but at least dozens of miles should be required.

However, until he saw Fuzhou Mansion from afar, he had not met an official who came to greet him, and these people seemed to be deliberately trying to give him a dismount!

Zhang Bin knew that these guys were basically thrown into the arms of Gonggong Wei, and they were considered peripheral members of the eunuch party, and it was normal for them not to see him, as a non-eunuch member.

No one came to greet him, so he went to the door by himself, he decided to go straight to the Yamen of the Commander of the Commander of the City, and discussed with Hong Xianchun about the mobilization of the guards.

However, because he ran too fast, Wu Wenjie had not returned to Fujian at this time, and the officials in Fujian only received an official letter from Gonggong Wei, suggesting that if Zhang Bin was rampant, they would be impeached, and nothing else was said.

Therefore, they still pretended to wait at the north gate of Fuzhou Fucheng, and greeted the governor a little, after all, this person also hung up the position of the imperial envoy of the right side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he could impeach you at any time.

Zhang Bin looked at the officials waiting outside the north gate, and sneered in his heart, this can be regarded as half a dismount, it seems that they don't dare to offend themselves too hard.

There are not many officials who come to greet them, after all, there are things in each yamen, and it is impossible to pull them all over, and it is already very good for the senior officials above the fifth grade to come.

The number of political envoys who are above the fifth rank should be regarded as the most, and the political envoys on the left and right, the senators on the left and right, and the political ministers on the left and right are all members of the political envoys above the fifth grade.

The number of senior officials who are above the fifth rank of the procurator is the least, and there are three according to the procurator, the deputy procurator, and the procurator.

However, this time to greet Zhang Bin, the punishment and probation envoys are not the least, but the least are all commanding the envoys, a total of two people came, one commanded Tongzhi, the other commanded the affairs, and even the commander Hong Xianchun did not come.

This guy, what do you mean, after Zhang Bin quietly greeted everyone, he immediately pretended to be curious, and said in surprise: "What about Lord Du Sihong?" ”

The commander of the capital hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Governor, Lord Hong went to Wan'an to organize people to defend against the pirate Liu Xiang, and Lord Tongzhi Sun went to Chongwu to organize people to defend against the pirate Li Kuiqi." ”

It turned out to be defending against pirates, which was not bad, and knew how to do something serious.

Zhang Bin nodded, and was about to praise two sentences, but suddenly remembered that the Zhongzuo Institute seemed to be occupied by Zheng Zhilong, this guy didn't mention it, he was really curious this time: "What about the Zhongzuo Institute, who is in charge over there?" ”

Na Tongzhi said embarrassedly: "This is the responsibility of Cai Shanji of Quanzhou Patrol Sea, Lord Hong ordered Zhenhaiwei to command Lord Yu to bring a thousand elite guards to assist Lord Cai in Yuegang. ”

All commanded the envoys to leave the most important place alone, and even let a Quanzhou patrol to be in charge, these people are too outrageous!

Zhang Bin frowned, but he didn't have a seizure, because he knew that Zheng Zhilong was actually not to rob, but to coerce the court to appease, to put it bluntly, he was just for the sake of officials, so he would not harm the place, let alone loot everywhere, at most he would show off his might.

He didn't speak, but Wang Ruoji, the political envoy of Zuobu, who undertook to announce the political envoy department, spoke.

This guy pretended to have a sad face, and said bitterly: "Lord Zhang, how much food and salary has been allocated by the imperial court this time, the 1,000 guards brought by Lord Yu will consume more than 1,000 stone rations every month, we have been scraping together for a few months, and now we really can't afford it, their rations will last until next month at most, and I also ask Lord Zhang to allocate it as soon as possible." ”

He was taking Zhang Bin's army, because he knew that the imperial court had not allocated any food to Zhang Bin, and according to the meaning of Gonggong Wei, he wanted him to order a rampant expedition, and then, everyone played the imperial court, and gave him a few copies to get him down.

Zhang Bin naturally couldn't have ordered them to expropriate and extort money, and he had already had a solution to the problem of food and salary, but in order to prevent these people from doing ghosts behind their backs, he didn't explain it to these people.

If you want to see my jokes, you just have to wait.

He squinted his eyes and glanced at Wang Ruoji, and said lightly: "The official has his own way to pay for food, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Wang Ruoji was stunned when he heard this, is there a way? What's the guy can do?

He stubbornly asked: "I don't know if the adults can tell me one or two, and the subordinates can also arrange for people to cooperate." ”

Zhang Bin snorted coldly in his heart, and still said lightly: "Then we will naturally see." ”

After that, he didn't wait for Wang Ruoji to speak, turned his face, and directly said to Nadu Commander: "What is your surname?" ”

The governor was stunned when he heard this, you are a god fighting, don't embarrass me a little minion, he helplessly arched his hand and said: "Lord Hui, the surname of the subordinate is Zhao, Zhao Yuncheng." ”

Zhang Bin nodded and continued to ask, "Is there any empty barracks in the Yamen of the Commander Commander?" ”

Zhao Yuncheng had no choice but to answer truthfully, "Yes, yes, it's no problem to live in Bailai." ”

Zhang Bin nodded directly and said: "Well, lead the way in front, and this official will command the Yamen of the Imperial Department to work in the capital." ”

After that, he turned over and got on the horse directly, and waited for Nadu to command Tongzhi to lead the way, as for Wang Ruoji's gang, he didn't bother to look in that direction.
