Section 12: Face and Lizi

At this moment, the anger that had been accumulated in Zhang Yuxing's heart for a long time was about to erupt, but looking at the powerful Liu Yunwei in front of him, as well as the broken bookcase on the ground, Zhang Yuxing didn't dare to say anything. After a stalemate like this for a while, Zhang Yuxing said: "Could it be that Liu Qian always does things like this?" ”

"I always do things, as I always have!"

Zhang Yuxing's face suddenly flushed, and he said angrily: "I'm also the commander of the city guard!" You're talking to me like that? There's no more decency! ”

Liu Yunwei smiled and said, "Then according to Master Zhang's meaning, how can I do it to have a decent system?" Will the exploits of war and the capture be handed away? ”

Zhang Yuxing was speechless for a while, and then said after a while: "There is such a big disaster as the Gu family in Yanzhou Mansion, and I, the commander of the city guard, will definitely be entangled by those imperial historians of the Beijing Division." Therefore, I don't ask for much credit, but at least let me be exempted from guilt! ”

When Liu Yunwei saw Zhang Yuxing say such a thing, he knew that he really had no choice, and when he saw that the heat was almost over, Liu Yunwei said: "Where is Lord Zhang, how can the lower officials make it difficult for you?" I think so, I'll make a new copy of this good news. ”

Zhang Yuxing was overjoyed when he heard this, and the unhappiness just now was thrown out of the clouds in a blink of an eye, and then asked: "According to Liu Qianzong's meaning, how should this good news be drafted?" ”

Liu Yunwei pondered for a while and asked: "I think it's better to write like this, just write this good news: Lord Zhang received the news that the Gu family was about to make a rebellion, and after some deployment of troops, he was ready to exterminate this group of traitors on the spot, and temporarily recruited my Hanwei battalion to participate in the war; In this battle, Zhang Daren took the lead and fought bloodily, and under the fierce attack of the conquest army dominated by the soldiers of our Hanwei battalion, he finally won a great victory in Shanxian County. I'll give the first level to Mr. Zhang, so what is Mr. Zhang's opinion? ”

Zhang Yuxing thought about it seriously for a while, and thought: "This Liu Yunwei didn't mention the Gu family's property at all, it seems that he is determined not to take it out!" However, Liu Yunwei was able to give up part of the credit for this battle, which was already very face-saving for me, after all, I did not participate in the war; If I reach out and ask for money again, it will be troublesome if I can't figure it out and talk about it. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuxing hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay!" It's done according to Liu Qian's intentions! ”

Zhang Yuxing was about to praise Liu Yunwei a few words, but he heard Liu Yunwei say: "Since Master Zhang agrees, then I will immediately let someone write it." However, there is one more important matter here that needs to be discussed with Master Zhang. ”

Zhang Yuxing couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and asked cautiously: "What else is going on with Mr. Liu Qian?" ”

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Since Lord Zhang has shared the merits of this battle, it must have gone through a fierce battle, but Lord Zhang's command has not suffered the slightest loss, and if the military department sends someone to verify it in the future, it will definitely not be able to hide it." So ......"

"Mr. Liu Qian, what do you want to say?" Zhang Yuxing had a little bad premonition in his heart.

Liu Yunwei looked at Zhang Yuxing, who was a little frightened, and almost burst out laughing, so he couldn't hold back a smile and said, "I see that Lord Zhang carries four big Buddha cannons in his army, right?" It's better to treat these artillery pieces as battle damage, I will suffer some losses, take these artillery away, and help Master Zhang cover up. ”

"You!" Zhang Yuxing only understood at this time, it turned out that Liu Yunwei had taken a fancy to the artillery he brought! A little Qianzong dared to knock on the bamboo bar of the commander? Are you kidding? I have been an official for more than ten years, but I didn't expect to fall into the trap set by others today.

However, Zhang Yuxing thought about it and felt that he really had no room for bargaining, after all, how to report this battle to the imperial court, the initiative was in Liu Yunwei's hands. According to the plan proposed by Liu Yunwei, Zhang Yuxing's own interests can still be guaranteed, and the loss is only a few artillery, and it will be rebuilt in the future.

So, Zhang Yuxing said: "Okay! Just do what Mr. Liu Qian said. I'll have those four guns sent to Liu Qian's camp now. ”

"Don't forget, Lord Zhang, there are also gunpowder, cannons and gunners that come with the artillery, and they must be sent over together." Liu Yunwei said with a smile.

When Zhang Yuxing heard this, he almost choked to death with his saliva, and said angrily: "Okay! I'll send it to you with me! After speaking, Zhang Yuxing angrily left with his family.

After Zhang Yuxing left, Liu Yunwei laughed out loud, and after laughing, he wrote a good news again. At this time, Lu Ying came to the county government to ask Liu Yunwei to report on military affairs, and after learning what happened just now, Lu Ying said angrily: "Big brother, then Zhang Yuxing took the credit that should belong to us like this?" It's also too cheap for him! ”

Liu Yunwei sealed the good news he had written, and said: "There is no way, the atmosphere of the court is like this, and we can only ensure our own interests to the greatest extent on a case-by-case basis." Fortunately, our harvest this time is not small, that Zhang Yuxing has gained face, and it is no problem to keep his official position and not be punished by the court; But we have obtained the inside of this battle, and the Gu family's property that we have seized before and after is estimated to be nearly 100,000 taels, right? The grain and grass are enough for our Hanwei camp to eat for more than a month, and I also asked for four artillery pieces from Zhang Yuxing. We're not at a loss! ”

"That's just as well." Lu Ying nodded, feeling a little better in her heart, and then said: "Big brother, there is one more thing, that is, the three thousand serfs we snatched from the eight major farms of the Gu family, as well as the two hundred blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop, how should these people be handled?" What about the two thousand captives? ”

Liu Yunwei thought for a moment and asked, "Do those serfs and blacksmiths have families in Shanxian County?" ”

Lu Ying said: "Those serfs were originally displaced people captured by the Gu family from Henan, where are there any family members; As for the blacksmiths, most of them are bachelors, homeless and unemployed. ”

"Then take them all!" Liu Yunwei said excitedly: "Those serfs are all assigned to the headquarters of the baggage to help Master Chen do some rough work, and usually let the baggage to train the soldiers of the headquarters strictly, and in time they will be our reserve soldiers; Those blacksmiths are also treasures, and none of these people can be left behind. As for those Gu family members, they were all thrown to Zhang Yuxing to deal with before we left, so as not to waste our food. ”

Lu Ying said with a smile: "Haha, big brother, you look very scary, just like the king of the mountain who has just succeeded in robbing." ”

Liu Yunwei also laughed when he heard it, and said: "Haha, I'm so happy, the king of the mountain is the king of the mountain, we have made a lot of money this time!" If the imperial court awards some more rewards, our Hanwei camp will win a big deal! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yunwei remembered the good news in his hand, and said: "By the way, hurry up and send this good news out, and send a competent person to find Master Li Linbin to see if he can help us win some more rewards; At the same time, I also asked if there was any news of Lord Yuan. ”

Lu Ying nodded and took the good news, and said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”

At this time, Liu Yunwei stopped Lu Ying again and asked, "By the way, I just heard you say that the three thousand serfs are all displaced people captured by the Gu family from Henan?" Could it be that there are a lot of displaced people in Henan now? ”

"Not a lot, but a lot!" Lu Ying sighed and said: "I asked those displaced people, the situation in Henan and Shaanxi is very bad now, there has been a drought for many years, the acres of land have not been harvested, and the imperial court has also paid more money in these places in order to crusade against Jiannu, and the people everywhere have been reduced to extreme poverty. Henan and Shaanxi are almost everywhere with displaced people, but the rescue efforts of local governments are generally not large, resulting in more and more displaced people in various places, and in some places there is even a wave of displaced people. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunwei suddenly gasped and exclaimed: "The trend of the displaced people is taking shape, but the state and county have no power to block it, and the court has no way to appease it, I'm afraid there will be a big mess in this world!" I hope that the imperial court can detect it as soon as possible and make countermeasures as soon as possible, otherwise once the displaced people in the hinterland of the imperial court are out of control, there will definitely be disasters such as yellow turbans and yellow nests, and it will really be a big mess in the world; You know, now there are still Jiannu in Liaodong eyeing and watching Huaxia, once the imperial court is consumed too much strength by the homeless riots, then Jiannu will really rush into the pass if it is not good, in that case, the catastrophe of the five chaotic Hua, and the well-dressed Nandu will be staged again! ”

Lu Ying also exclaimed: "In that case, wouldn't the imperial court be attacked by Jiannu and the homeless people inside and outside!" The imperial court may be dragged to death! ”

"It's not possible, once that situation is formed, the imperial court will definitely be dragged down!" Liu Yunwei said almost in despair, as if he had seen the incomparably miserable and desperate future.

For a while, Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying were in a heavy mood, and even felt that the sky was dim, and the joy of Shanxian's victory was swept away by the crisis-ridden situation in front of them. At this moment, Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying's hearts were only left with deep worries about the dynasty and the fear that civil strife would break out in the Central Plains at any time.

At this moment, Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the county office, and then saw Wen Poyu rushing in in a hurry. ”

I saw Wen Poyu running into the house with an anxious expression, and shouted directly: "Big brother is not good, there is a riot of displaced people in Henan!" I've blocked three Yellow River crossings! ”
