Chapter 779: Good News After the Great Victory

Outside Thanh Hoa Province.

The waterway burned all the barrage fences and many boats and ships that were caught off guard, and the tens of thousands of troops under the command of Chen Tianbao were defeated by land. So, when Zhang Yue offered to shoot those arrows tied with leaflets into the city to persuade him to surrender, he agreed without saying a word. Even so, it was impossible for the army to waste its rations outside the city, and if the persuasion to surrender failed, the assault began three days later.

After deciding on this article, Liu Shengzi would not let go of the previous incident, and immediately summoned Chen Feng and Chen Hua and his son in the temporary line. He and Chen Feng used to work under Zhang Fu together, and it was also because of his appreciation of his bold temperament, this time he was originally scheduled to be a governor of the water division, so he would hand over the water master to Chen Hua with confidence, who knew that if it wasn't for Zhang Yue's heart and eye to see through the famous hall, this time the teacher would not only be useless, but also might fall into an extremely dangerous situation. Therefore, although he has won a big victory now, his anger is not light.

"Old Chen Feng, if it weren't for your sake, I would have slaughtered this rebellious kid with a sword right now! The army doesn't know about this now, but paper can't hold the fire, and I don't think I can hide it for a lifetime! ”

Glancing at his son, who tied his hands and didn't say a word, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh, and immediately bent his legs and knelt down: "Dashuai, it's the last general who teaches his son to have no way, I didn't see that he is such a person with such a heart, and he shouldn't be allowed to inherit the command!" However, the previous great victory came by rebellion and surprise, and when the time came, it was only said that he had surrendered, and the rumors could be quelled. After this battle, the last general brought people back, and the military position of the commander was accepted back to the imperial court......"

Zhang Yue glanced at Chen Feng, who was full of pleading, and thought to himself that if he hadn't asked Chen Feng to summon some important officers of the sailor overnight, and then quietly took Chen Feng onto the ship when he set off, even if he used false words to intimidate and deceive Chen Hua's heart, this sailor would not be able to command it like an arm. Now this is certainly a great victory, but Chen Hua's sin is ironclad, even if Chen Feng makes up for his son's mistakes, but for the frequent wars, how dare Liu Sheng let such a rebellious move go? However, the army could not tolerate this mistake, but the Chen family was a wealthy family, and in terms of appeasement, it was unacceptable.

"Dashuai, the previous victory on land and water will spread all over the four fields within a few days, as long as it is spread again, everyone will know that Chen Hua is a deceitful surrender to break the enemy, and this matter is indeed not suitable for further investigation. Now that Lord Lao Chen has arrived in the army, he might as well release the news, saying that Lord Lao Chen is not worried about General Yizi, and he wants to go into battle in person, and he can first remove Chen Hua's military power. After the Jiaolu is pacified, then let Chen Hua write a letter to say that he is sick, and the old Chen will select another person from the Chen family and report to the imperial court to give him the command and military position. ”

Liu Sheng walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, and after thinking about it, he felt that what Zhang Yue said was not unreasonable. But as soon as he thought that this kid couldn't refute the truth when he returned, he couldn't help but squint angrily, and then stepped forward and dragged Chen Feng up, and immediately snorted coldly: "Since someone is pleading, I will also give you this old guy face, and take people back to take care of it!" If something goes wrong again, it's not as easy to talk as this time! ”

Being able to have such a promise, Chen Feng was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and turned around to thank Zhang Yue, and then stepped forward to untie the rope that bound his son's hands, and kicked it again: "Rebel, if it weren't for my great fortune, I would have slaughtered the rebels on the way, and with this alone, I should have slaughtered you!" If it weren't for the fact that your dead grandma was the only son you had, I wouldn't have bothered to care about your life or death! Don't pestle here, come with me! ”

Seeing that Chen Hua kowtowed in a hoarse voice and thanked him, and was dragged out of the big tent by Chen Feng, Liu Sheng couldn't help but scold and said: "Damn, old Chen Feng's lifelong fame has been ruined by this son, and when I go back, I must teach that kid in my family a good lesson, how much ability to eat and how big a bowl to eat, look at the bowl and look at the pot, I have to put the family in it when the time comes!" Lao Chen Feng is also right, such a scourge is still left, where did he get such good luck, and he met nobles to help him when he came back? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Sheng looked at Zhang Yue, and when he saw that he was quietly retreating outside the tent, he couldn't help but shout: "What are you doing so fast, I haven't let you go yet!" I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do, this time I admit my mistake, I shouldn't refute Li Qing's words, I shouldn't change generals on the spot, and I shouldn't transfer you to the waterway, it's always okay, right? But even though I drove you to the ship, it was for your own good, lest something go wrong with the sword on land, and in the end, didn't you also make a miracle work? But Li Qing's old guy is too merciless to talk about! ”

Zhang Yue turned around helplessly, and saw Liu Sheng sitting down on the chair in the center with a sigh of anger, he remembered Li Qing's temperament, and couldn't help but shake his head - this one was transferred from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of War, which caused a panic in the Ministry of War, which shows how strict he was, and it is not surprising that he was left in the Nanjing War Department because of his advice to Zhu Zhanji to hunt. It's just that that's also the style of Lao Shangshu, if it is easily changed, it won't be Li Qing.

"Where do I dare to be angry with the marshal, besides, this big victory is that the marshal is as good as a stream, and I am the counselor of military affairs, and my suggestions should also be made. It's just that there are still a bunch of things to deal with outside, and since the matter of the Chen family's father and son has been decided, I have to go out and take a look, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with those wealthy families with Shi An and Chen Yong alone. ”

Liu Sheng was immediately angry when he heard this: "Both of them are twice as old as you, why don't they even have this ability?" ”

"In terms of talent and ability, they are naturally the only way to surpass me, but most people in this world recognize their names and official titles. For example, if the marshal says a word to the generals at this time, it is a word, and if it were me, I am afraid that everyone will be suspicious. And it's the same in front of those wealthy families, after all, they are soft-spoken, and I am more skilled than them in their powerful deeds. ”

"After so many years, you kid is still as cunning as he was back then!" Liu Sheng scolded with a smile, and the only little mustard was dispelled, and then he said, "I have already sent eight hundred miles to the Jingshi urgently, and I have greatly mentioned to you...... As for Li Qing, forget it, presumably the emperor is not willing to transfer people back to Jingshi to put them by his side! I'm really impatient to deal with those wealthy people, whatever you want to deal with them! ”

Seeing that Zhang Yue was about to go out with a smile, Liu Sheng opened his mouth and added: "Go back and thank Peng Shisan for me, thanks to him this time!" ”

Zhang Yue agreed, and then he was out of the handsome account. At this time, it was already the middle of the day, the sky was still extremely bright, and there were all the soldiers on guard around the tent, and there were also groups of sergeants patrolling outside. A little farther out, there were soldiers wiping their swords everywhere, some of them still had blood stains on their robes, some of them had wounds on their faces, some of them were whispering to their companions, and when they saw him passing, some of them stood up and saluted. When he arrived at the camp that had been allocated to the civil servants, he heard Peng 13 standing outside a tent, listening and snickering.

"What are you doing here?"

As soon as Peng 13 saw Zhang Yue, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "I just think that those people inside are talking about Cola." Just now, one of them said very honestly that it had not rained for several days, and this was because the army of the Celestial Empire had arrived, so the rain did not dare to stand in the way, and cited the fact that the rain had rained so that the dry riverbed could be sailed when the British army marched. But except for flattery, they were very cautious in the rest of the words, Shi Langzhong and the two of them pretended to be black and red, and wanted to find out whether Chen Tianbao was in the city, but these people all said that they didn't know. ”

"Although they have just won a big victory and surrounded Thanh Hoa, the south has not yet been swept away, and they certainly will not make a choice so quickly. Coming here at this time is just to show a gesture, lest our army take advantage of the great victory to spill anger on their heads. As for Chen Tianbao, since he started by Zhancheng, if he wants to abandon Zhancheng in the future, he must rely on these wealthy families, and they are naturally not afraid. ”

As he had said this, he opened the corner of the curtain and looked inside, and suddenly opened the curtain and went straight inside. This movement immediately attracted the attention of everyone inside. Shi An and Chen Yong were already talking dryly, and when they saw Zhang Yue coming in, Shi An immediately called out to Lord Zhang, and for a while, the representatives of the wealthy families wearing silk and satin immediately swarmed around to salute.

Without him, in Jiaoluan, this one character is really the most weighty surname!

Ancient Annan has been the territory of the Central Plains since the Qin period, the Song Dynasty was weak, and there was a Dali in the south, not to mention recovering this place, and the Yuan Dynasty was in this war for a long time, and finally failed to regain the territory of Annan Zhancheng, which dragged on to the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Although it has been on its own for hundreds of years, both the former Annam and the current Jiaolu have been dominated by Sinology for many years, and the upper class of society is proud to be proficient in Confucianism, and Chinese characters became the official language of the country three hundred years ago. Since the establishment of the Jiaolu Bu Political Division, there have been many prisoners in the Jiaolu Gongguo Prison.

At this moment, there is such a wealthy family whose son has been promoted to a prison student, and only from the words and deeds that seem to be with the Central Plains Doctor, it is almost difficult for Zhang Yue to see any clues from local friends. It's just that he knows that these wealthy families are all opportunistic people who are vacillating and only thinking about themselves, so he appeases and appeases, but he just blindly plays Tai Chi. After these people withdrew one by one, they pondered carefully, and then suddenly realized that what Zhang Yue said sounded like a spring breeze, but in fact, there was no accurate letter!

Zhang Yuecai didn't bother to care about how these wealthy people slandered themselves behind their backs, and before he could sit down and take a breath, Chen Yong handed over an official letter with the seal intact, and said in a low voice: "This is the emperor's Zhu Approval, and the lower officials and Shi Langzhong dare not open it without authorization." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Zhu Pi, Zhang Yue was about to open it, but when he thought that there were two other people around him, he immediately took a look at the two of them. It wasn't until Shi An pulled Chen Yong back down that he used a paper cutter to cut open the seal and take out the plain cover. Peng Shisan, who was next to him, knew that Zhu Pi, who had sent Zhang Yue, might have any important words, but he didn't say much, and went out of the big tent to guard quietly.

“…… Now the rebellion and rebellion in Jiaolu will be destroyed. However, it is advisable to abstain from indiscriminately inflicting abuse on the innocent, although the young men of the rebellious family are not allowed to be killed, but they are driven into the interior, either as a citizen or as a slave, so as to demonstrate the virtue of a good life in heaven. However, if you have meritocracy, you may wish to pay attention to it and choose a talent to recommend...... As soon as the matter is settled, I will quickly recall Qing to return to Beijing, and take a copy of the transfer to Bachelor Du, and take a closer look. ”

This article is full of red fly-headed Zhu criticism, and the front is full of words such as those Kuanren's selection of materials, but such a sentence was added at the end, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and after a second look, he noticed that there was another plain cover fold at the back. Because the color is the same, I didn't even notice it before. After unfolding it, he only glanced at it, and he noticed that it was supposed to be a copy of the transcription, not the original of Du Zhen's performance, and the content of it was clearly about the official Yulu. After carefully reading through the text, he closed the fold and closed his eyes thoughtfully.

This matter was discussed with his old father-in-law when he was in Beijing, and other things were easy to change, but this was more or less determined by Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu, and it was really not easy to move without permission. However, the practice of converting money is the world's number one malpractice, and it is not enough to reassure officials if it is not eliminated. It's just that now the DPRK and China seem to be stable, but such a big stone falls......

"Good news, great news!"

Just when Zhang Yuezhen was carefully pondering what kind of resistance his old father-in-law's hand would cause, and what he could help do at that time, this shout suddenly sounded in his ears. When he looked up, he saw Peng Shisan rushing in like a gust of wind, shouting: "There is news from Liu Dashuai's side, a ship has just come over on the sea, saying that Chen Tianbao wants to escape south by boat, but he was arrested!" ”

"How could it be such a coincidence!"

Zhang Yue was surprised and delighted, and at this time it was Huo Di who stood up: "But the people of Shenweiwei?" ”

"That's right, the general flag didn't tell the truth when he came over before, in fact, Gonggong Zheng had an extra mind, and he had already sent ten more ships over, ready to protect the sea grain route, and when the messenger went back before, he happened to bring back the news of the fall of Qinghua Mansion, so several Shenwei ships have been paying attention to the movements of Qinghua Mansion, and chased after them as soon as they saw a ship coming out. Who would have thought that Chen Tianbao would be taken so coincidentally! I heard that at that time, a magic arrow hit the sail, and if it weren't for the crazy people on the ship, they almost burned the whole ship. After that, Chen Tianbao heard that he had fainted, and the people on the boat descended. ”

"That's the biggest piece of good news...... Now that he, who claims to be orthodox in the Chen family, is gone, it will be much easier in the south, and with Zheng Gonggong asking for crimes at sea and occupying the city, Jiaolu is expected to be pacified within the year! Wait until the beginning of spring next year, and we can go back to reunite with our wives and children! ”

Even Zhang Yue, who walked back and forth a few steps back and forth at this time, couldn't help laughing. Peng Shisan tilted his head and thought about his wife and children at home, and his face was full of joyful smiles.

If there is no way, who wants to fight?
