Zhang Han, Li Shenming and others were also standing outside the general's mansion and waiting.

Although Ma Chengen came in from the north gate, he happened to pass by the main store of He Yusheng, but Zhang Han couldn't wait there, one is that the formality is insufficient, and the other is too big, even if the relationship with Ma Chengen is one step stronger, with Zhang Han's character, he will not behave so arrogantly.

"Wenlan, Zunlu, the two of you are good." At a distance of three or five steps away from the dismount stone, Ma Chengen jumped off the horse and walked forward with a smile.

Zhang Han and Li Shenming looked at each other and smiled, the two took a few steps together, Zhang Han was about to bow, Ma Chengen grabbed him with one hand, and said with a smile: "Don't come to this set, a few years ago, when you came to my house, you need to kowtow and speak, it was that situation at that time, and I don't have a front and back eye, I can know that you Zhang Wenlan can develop to the point where it is like, otherwise you will be exempted from saluting back then, and you will have a great good fate first." ”

Ma Chengen said witty, Li Shenming listened with a smile on his face, and Zhang Han also smiled.

"I heard that your subordinates were defeated and beheaded a lot?" Ma Chengen took Zhang Han's arm, and while walking inside, he sighed with emotion: "The future is terrifying, with the people of the militia who have been trained, they can actually defeat nearly 10,000 elites in the north, and they have been beheaded a lot, after this battle, you Zhang Wenlan of the entire nine sides will be heard by thousands of miles, and even the upper echelons of the court will remember your name." I think if you really want to, you will at least have a lieutenant general in ten years. ”

Zhang Han said with a smile: "It's good to have an official position, but I still like to do business more." ”

Ma Chengen looked at him very seriously and said, "Is Wen Lan's words serious? ”

Zhang Han said: "Seriously, run well and Yusheng, so that the business route leads to the east and west, and then to the north and south, this is my wish." As for the armed forces of the merchant group, only to protect the caravan and defend the homeland as the first, go out to fight, train the soldiers to fight for military merits, and fight on the battlefield to fight for their lives in exchange for fame, this is the matter of a pure martial artist like you, the chief military officer, and you can't and don't want to. ”

Zhang Han's words are very frank, there is almost no pretentiousness, straightforward, and even a little less polite.

But Ma Chengen was not only not annoyed, but laughed, patted Zhang Han on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, Wen Lan is a husband and will not easily change his ambitions." ”

Everyone was speechless at this time, and continued to look inward, but Lai Tongxin, the master, followed all the way, and couldn't interject, so he could only squeeze out a flattering smile on his fat face.

Zhang Han also caught a glimpse of Lai Tongxin out of the corner of his eyes, and he also felt some emotion in his heart. A few years ago, the honor and disgrace of his family or life and death were still in the back of the fat man's thoughts, in order to solve the trouble, he had to be false and wronged in front of Lai Tongxin, but now this person is behind him, like a follower, and sure enough, this is the change of the times.

Zheng Guochang's soldier is standing at the second gate, and it is impossible to greet him at the main gate as his identity, but it is also a bit big to sit in the room and wait for the chief soldier to meet him, and it is still very appropriate to greet him under the eaves of the second porch.

It is also Ma Chengen, the general soldier of the family who has such treatment, if it is a different place, such as when Denglai soldiers are prepared in Shandong, and Denglai soldiers come to the door, and the soldiers will never go out to greet them.

"The last general has seen the soldiers." Ma Chengen took a step forward, intending to kneel down and salute.

Zheng Guochang raised his hand, supported Ma Chengen, and said with a smile: "Why do you and I have to come to this set, besides, I am just a soldier, and I am not a military gate of Fuyuan." ”

Ma Chengen said with a smile: "After this battle, who else will be the candidate for my Datong governor?" ”

Ma Chengen prides himself on the identity of the general, although he is not like Li Rusong who had to be polite to the governor like back then, and he also punched the political envoy, and then he didn't have a, but he would bow down to the governor, and at most he bowed to Zheng Guochang's soldiers, and he wanted to worship today, but there was this reason in it.

Zheng Guochang just smiled and shook his head, and knew in his heart that he had great hopes and opportunities, after all, Zhang Han single-handedly created the current situation, Datong was a mess, Han Qi was full of money, even if he was in office for less than a year, I am afraid that the boss would not allow this person to continue to serve as governor, as soon as Han Qi left, the successor was indeed Zheng Guochang. However, Zheng Guochang still felt that the martial artist spoke too bluntly, which made him a little embarrassed.

Of course, Lai Tongxin, a second-class general, is not well-informed, and his vision is not broad, and no one has mentioned what the looming main line is under the complicated situation of his current mistraces, and now he vaguely understands that what has happened in the past two months is actually Zhang Han's single-handedly layout!

Ma Chengen is the chief soldier, is the apex of the military officer, there is no way to be promoted, the imperial court at most adds his position of governor to the left and right governors, but it doesn't matter if the military general at the level of the general army is in charge, as long as he has real power and is stable in the general position, it is Zheng Guochang, from the deputy envoy of the military garrison to the military garrison road, and then it is possible to become the governor, in recent years, the commission has been stable and smooth, and it has something to do with Zhang Han, Lai Tongxin looked at Zhang Han with blazing eyes, at this time he regretted it very much in his heart, and there was a golden thick thigh in front of him, I have been losing my dots, and I still think about the pattern with Yusheng and Zhang Han a few years ago, but I completely forgot that Zhang Han is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past.

Li Shenming saw Lai Tongxin's appearance and glanced at Zhang Han with a smile.

Zhang Han looked back and smiled at Li Shenming.

Lai Tongxin, Zhang Han deliberately pulled him into today's occasion, although this person has no great ability, greedy personality, but there is a good thing is stability, in recent years in Xinpingbao is still a duty, just like the officials who eat and take cards in later generations, although they hate it, but they still do things after taking it, with this article, this guy is worth cultivating.

After entering the hall, Zheng Guochang of course sat at the top, Ma Chengen sat on the right, Zhang Han and Li Shenming accompanied each other, but Lai Tongxin sat on the main seat.

"How's it going down there?" Ma Chengen said: "The Northern Captives have failed miserably, and it is expected that I will be able to behead two or three hundred levels." Lao Du on the other side of Yansui Town also said a long time ago, let's do it here, he played and said that the trap was unstable and took the initiative to attack, the two towns were so turbulent, the court was unbearable. However, if Han Qi wants to leave his post, I am afraid there will still be some twists and turns. ”

Zheng Guochang stroked his beard and said: "It is necessary to have a weighty speech official to start, and it is not very useful to rely on Shanxi nationality or a speech official who buys ginseng." ”

The two of them said that they were looking at Zhang Han, so far, all the arrangements of Zhang Han are smooth, everyone has a lot of benefits, even if the matter ends here, Ma Chengen is not a loss, it is certain to keep the position of the chief soldier, Zheng Guochang is not a loss, he has made a great contribution to this army, how to say it is also a kind of seniority, even if the court does not use him as the governor of Datong, the position of governor elsewhere in the future will not be able to run away.

"Don't worry," Zhang Han said with a calm smile: "I have already called the people of the Jingshi to launch, and within a few days, there will be news." ”

"I'm going to ask anyway." Ma Chengen said: "After this incident, I and the governor will tear their faces, if this fight does not leave him, then I will leave." The matter is important, Wen Lan, you still have to make it clear, which side of the gods was invited to interfere in this matter? ”

Zhang Han knew that Zheng Guochang also had this question, and he did not hide it, and said in a big dialect: "This time I asked someone to go through the door of the Donglin Party." ”

"Huh?" Ma Chengen was a little surprised and a little suspicious, he said, "I really don't know when Wenlan got through the door of those people?" The Donglin Party is not comparable to the three parties of Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang, among which there are many people who can pretend, and it is not impossible to collect money, but it is difficult to distinguish them, and besides, some people who collect money are not taken seriously in their party. ”

Ma Chengen means that Zhang Hanmo is going to be coaxed...... This kind of suspicion is also normal, when later generations criticize the Donglin Party, most of them are very dissatisfied with their performance in the Chongzhen period and the Southern Ming Dynasty, and always say that Donglin troubles the Chongzhen government, especially the big mouth of the Donglin Party, which makes the government fall into internal strife, and what to say about the salt and tea industry and commerce tax, in fact, it is mostly nonsense...... Chongzhen's trust in the Donglin Party is very short, since Qian Qianyi's bad luck, Chongzhen is very vigilant about the Donglin Party, is the mentality of exclusion and distrust, in the Chongzhen period, the Donglin Party is a marginal party, in the Apocalypse Dynasty was suppressed by the three parties in addition to the unlucky eunuchs and reused, only in this period, that is, the first year of the Apocalypse to the fourth year of the Apocalypse, these three years less than four years, the Donglin Party filled the cabinet and the court, the party has served as the first assistant of the cabinet many times, and the power is far beyond the rest of the parties, Ma Chengen suspects that Zhang Han's identity cannot be linked, which is normal.

Zhang Han laughed and said, "This matter is a long story, does the chief military officer know about my Lingqiu Iron Field's entry into Beijing?" That's how it happened......"

……

Zhang Han defeated Beiyu in Xinpingbao, and Tangma galloped to Beijing on the same day.

On the way, there are many branches of Yusheng, and Tangma is also changed by changing people, and the express mail is like this, and it must be delivered to the destination as quickly as possible.

Tangma set off at dusk, changed people and horses three times on the way, and entered the Jingshi from Deshengmen at noon the next day, and then sent directly to Yusheng in the Jingshi's business.

Liu Ji, the shopkeeper of the branch, was not the receiver, but Wang Faxiang, who was in the name of the deputy shopkeeper of the semicolon.

This kind of urgent mail can only be opened by the designated recipient, although Liu Ji also wants to know the news from Datong, according to the rules, he can only watch Wang Faxiang open it and read it.

"Shopkeeper, it's hard to tell you anything else, but ......" Wang Faxiang sold a pass, he saw Liu Ji in a hurry, and a smug expression appeared on his face.

Liu Ji scolded with a smile: "You are really black-hearted and black-lunged, I invited you to eat Bazhen Banquet last night, and today is like this, but if you don't say it, I won't inquire, I don't do this taboo thing, Lao Liu, and Yusheng are very good, I plan to work here until death, don't tempt me to make this kind of mistake." ”

"Lao Liu, what you said is very true, we can't make mistakes." Wang Faxiang is actually the same as the Military Justice Department, there will be a special department in the Military Justice Department, which is responsible for supervising the various departments of the Internal Security Department, and will also supervise the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the General Affairs Bureau of the Attendant Department will check the accounts of various departments and local branches.

Fortunately, the funds approved by the military intelligence bureaus in various localities are still very generous, and as long as they are not squandered and wasted by the people of the department, they will be reimbursed in real amounts, and Wang Faxiang's silver for eating flowers and wine is still at public expense, and this benefit is still there.

Today is another big seal, and it is inevitable that I will say a few words, so I will not open a single chapter, and I will talk to you here.

The original intention of this book is to write a comprehensive picture of the late Ming Dynasty, and it is the major historical process of the entire late Ming Dynasty, including the decades from Wanli to Chongzhen. This is a great ambition, and if it weren't for the progress I have made in the past few years, this kind of thinking would never have dared to have. I have written a lot, read a lot of books, and know that I am still very shallow, but I finally have some fixed views and ideas in the late Ming Dynasty, which can be shared with readers in the form of novels, from the middle and late Wanli to Chongzhen, there are too many things that have happened, and there are too many things worth writing.

When the Chinese civilization reached the late Ming Dynasty, it was really at a crossroads, but it was a pity that we were the boss of the nation, there were too many negative things, and at that time there were 10,000 possible ways to save themselves, but unfortunately they still ran all the way to the worst road, and finally there was no recovery.

If it can provide a possibility, and it is as realistic as possible to change, bit by bit, a modern person slowly integrates and changes, how far can it go?

Through the novels, most of the authors have similar ambitions, there are too many novels in the late Ming Dynasty, and everyone's angles and sights are very different, my book wants to do two things, the first is to change the mercantilism of contract cooperation, and the second is to try to reflect the entire late Ming Dynasty as much as possible.

The third is to achieve a balance between thinking and reading, I am not good enough, but I have been trying to do it.

At the same time of writing books, I have to take care of my family, I was twenty-five years old when I embarked on this line, and in a flash, my eldest son has been in first grade, and my younger son is about to go to kindergarten, many old readers may have read my books for more than ten years, I have succeeded in time, and I have also had the experience of failure, and now I rarely have time to communicate with readers, but I have always been very grateful to everyone, without everyone's support, of course this bowl of rice can not be eaten, it is really grateful.

Finally, I appealed, during the big seal, try to vote for me as many as possible, popular votes, red votes, the more the merrier, friends who watch pirated copies, think about the author's life is not easy, try to subscribe to the genuine version, I am grateful.
