Section 284 Take off your pants and fart
It is said that if it was just Zhejiang Governor Zhang Yandeng who came to find fault, Ji Qingwen, Shen Liangzuo, and Zou Weilian, who are now sitting in Fujian, would not have to buy his face at all. But by coincidence, when Zhang Yandeng was halfway there, he met Liu Kongzhao, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, and Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison.
The two of them were urged by Emperor Chongzhen's will to set off on a Japanese journey and immediately go south to help in the war. Therefore, Liu and Han did not have time to pack up all the men and horses of Nanzhili, and only brought 2,000 elite soldiers from their relatives to Fujian, which can be regarded as obeying the holy decree.
As for the rest of the horses in Nanzhili, they could only be handed over to the local generals to bring to Fujian in batches.
After making peace with these two adults halfway, Zhang Yandeng first poured bitter water, saying that he was a good Zhejiang, why should he be affected by the White Lotus Sect because of the disadvantage of Fujian's suppression of bandits? It is necessary to ask Liu Kongzhao and Han Zanzhou to give an order in the name of their superiors to let Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian, deal with the White Lotus Sect and bandits on his own, and not put them in Zhejiang.
For Liu Kongzhao and Han Zanzhou, whether the ground in Zhejiang is dead or alive, good or bad, is not a very important matter. But in case the White Lotus Sect enters the territory of Zhejiang, then this White Lotus Sect rebellion will spread to the three provinces, which is equivalent to the scale of the rebellion expanding again.
You must know that since Emperor Chongzhen issued a clear decree, the pacification of the White Lotus Sect rebellion has become a major event that has attracted the attention of the whole country, and I don't know how many imperial historians have stared at it with two eyes. If the White Lotus Sect spread so much and fell into their hands, they would not be eager to write the brush in their hands bald, and drown Liu Kongzhao and Han Zan with a concerto?
The so-called ass decides the head, and for the sake of the precious official position under the ass, Liu Kongzhao and Han Zan instantly reached a unanimous opinion: the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect must be limited to Fujian.
With such a unanimous opinion, these three people marched all the way south to lead an army of 6,000 people, and fearfully crossed the area controlled by the White Lotus Sect to the city of Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Fujian had not yet been fully developed and belonged to a barren and smoky land, while Fuzhou, as the provincial capital of Fujian, could not be compared with several cities such as Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou in terms of scale and prosperity, and was not even as good as Quanzhou, a port city in the same province.
Therefore, the 1,000 "Ming Wu Army" led by Ji Qingwen and the 2,000 soldiers of the Beijing Division Battalion under Shen Liangzuo were not stationed in Fuzhou City, but temporarily set up a military camp outside Fuzhou City and stationed them, which somewhat avoided the occurrence of some disturbing incidents.
And Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian, completely relied on Ji Qingwen's advice in military deployment, so he was also stationed in the military camp outside the city, so that he could discuss military affairs with Ji Qingwen at any time.
In this way, Ji Qingwen, Shen Liangzuo, and Zou Weilian received information at the same time, saying that the two adults in Nanjing City, together with the governor of Zhejiang, were rushing here.
Ji Qingwen had a deal with Liu Kongzhao and Han Zanzhou because of the White Lotus Sect. And in his opinion, Liu Kongzhao and Han Zanzhou are completely two wine bags and rice bags, and he looks down on these two people from the bottom of his heart; As for Zhang Yandeng, such a "small" governor, Ji Qingwen will not take it seriously.
However, Zou Weilian did not have so much courage, as soon as he heard that it was the two Shangguan who were ordered to be in charge of Jiangnan Military Affairs to come, he hurriedly ordered the sergeants under his command to clean up the military camp and prepare to meet the mission.
But his fart slapped the horse's leg.
Liu Kongzhao and Han Zanzhou, who rushed to Fuzhou in a hurry, actually took care of the score, thinking that they were Shangguan, and if they ran to the camp set up by the governor of Fujian, they would become Shangguan to visit their subordinates, and they would inevitably be a little embarrassed in terms of face.
Therefore, after they arrived, they were not busy meeting with Ji Qingwen, Zou Weilian and others, but rebuilt a new camp at a place about 100 steps in front of the camp where Ji Qingwen was stationed, which was used as the guide of the two Nanjing garrisons.
Ji Qingwen has been traveling to the Ming Dynasty for some time, and he has been messing around in the court a lot, so it is not strange to see these so-called "rules" like "taking off his pants and farting" in the officialdom at the end of the Ming Dynasty. However, seeing too much, it doesn't mean that this Ji Qingwen has accepted this kind of rule, he has always held a disdainful attitude towards these things, just like watching a monkey, standing in front of his camp, watching Liu Kongzhao, Han Zanzhou and others, it took a whole day to establish a camp that was not very strict.
When Ji Qingwen's advisor Li Yan saw it, he walked forward with a folding fan and a smile and asked, "What's the matter?" Brother Ji has been watching here for a long time, could it be that Liu Kongzhao and Han Zanzhou's method of using soldiers is quite desirable, does Brother Ji want to learn and learn? ”
"Learn to be a fart!" Ji Qingwen came as soon as he opened his mouth to swear words, "Just their camp, if Lao Tzu gets angry, he will send someone to tear it down!" Brother Li knows what I'm thinking? I'm thinking about whether I should invite two troupes from Fuzhou City to sing on stage here, so that I can welcome these two old men from Nanjing. ”
Li Yan knew that Ji Qingwen was joking, so he also echoed: "Then I'm afraid that Liu Kongzhao and Han Zanzhou will also invite the troupe to come over and sing a duet with Brother Ji, I wonder if Brother Ji has a chance of winning?" ”
"Yes, of course!" Ji Qing's bra said, "Lao Tzu has nothing else, but he is rich." Believe it or not, I spent money to invite all the opera troupes in Fuzhou City, let them start acting from Pangu Open World, and play him for a whole year, and asked Liu Kongzhao and Han Zanzhou to invite ghosts to sing against me! ”
Speaking of excitement, Ji Qingwen said again: "No, I won't wipe out all the troupes, but leave two grass stage troupes with incomplete pentatonic tones down, and let Liu Kongzhao invite them, and when the time comes, they will sing absurdly and unconventionally, just to make them ugly." ”
Ji Qingwen's words, although they are angry words for a while, but they contain a very high strategy of fighting with the sky, the earth, and people. Ji Qingwen can't understand it now, but when he thought of this episode later, it gave him a great inspiration.
Ji Qingwen and Li Yan were talking, but they saw a person running quickly from the camp where the general was about to be deployed, stopped in front of Ji Qingwen, and said, "This must be Lord Ji Qingwen, right?" The last general was ordered to pass on the military orders of Lord Liu Kongzhao and Duke Han Zan Zhou, and asked Lord Ji and Lord Zou of Fujian to go and meet the two ...... together."
Before the general finished speaking, Ji Qingwen became impatient and said, "Why do you want me to meet the two of them?" If you want to see me, let them both come and see me! It's really strange, it's just to buy vegetables and sell meat, and pay attention to a first-come, first-served basis! ”
Ji Qingwen's mood, Li Yan understands.
However, Li Yan had read a lot of sage books, and he cared more about some things like the overall situation of the imperial court than Ji Qingwen, so he persuaded two sentences: "Brother Ji, now is not the time to play with the temper of a child. Liu Kongzhao: Didn't they ask us to visit them? Then Brother Ji, you might as well order elite soldiers to break into their camp, which can be regarded as the prestige of killing them. ”
"Great idea!" Ji Qingwen was immediately convinced.
So he turned his head and set up camp, ordered all the 1,000 soldiers of the "Ming Wu Army", asked them to be fully armed, and raised the banner, and invited the admiral eunuch Shen Liangzuo and the governor of Fujian Zou Weilian to drive into the newly established camp opposite.
The sergeants on the opposite side had worked hard to set up this camp, and they had already worked hard all day, standing up, squatting, lying down, or lying on the ground to rest in place, without the slightest order.
Liu Kongzhao, who received Ji Qingwen's upcoming visit to the camp, saw that his soldiers and horses were so angry, and he was just about to reorganize the army, but when he looked up, he saw the "Ming Wu Army" of Ji Qingwen's department on the opposite side driving in with a heroic posture and high spirits.
This made this Liu Bowen's descendant no longer able to control his demeanor, and angrily ordered the sergeant to get up from the ground, hurriedly carried and found the weapons for unified custody, and arranged the team in a chaotic manner, which barely made people see that this was also a regular army of the Ming court.
In fact, Liu Kongzhao should be grateful to Ji Qingwen, thank Ji Qingwen for just coming to demonstrate to him - if Ji Qingwen really intends to oppose him, then I am afraid that Liu Kongzhao's head is already hanging on Ji Qingwen's trouser belt.
