Chapter 454: Clearing the Walls
Huang Qianshan rushed out, got into the carriage and went straight to Deyue Tower, to find Zheng Zhi. These soldiers did not listen to his call, and only by bringing Zheng Zhi here could the matter be resolved.
Even Huang Qianshan thought that Zheng Zhi could help him solve this matter, at least this Zheng Xianggong was still polite and courteous. Huang Qianshan really didn't think much about it, this young Zheng Xianggong is also that kind-hearted black "smiling tiger"-like character.
Before Huang Qianshan ran to Deyue Tower, he ran into several of his subordinates who were talking and laughing and walked over.
Huang Qianshan ran to the front and hurriedly asked, "What about Zheng Xianggong?" ”
Seeing that Huang Qianshan was in a hurry, these people hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted, and one of them replied: "After the banquet just now, Zheng Xianggong went out of the city on horseback." ”
Huang Qianshan asked again: "Why did the banquet disperse so quickly?" You haven't waited for a few more drinks? ”
"Then Zheng Xianggong said that the prefect was not here today, and he would disperse when he was full, and said that he would get together again in two days."
When Huang Qianshan heard this, he didn't care about these people, and got into the carriage again and rushed out of the city.
The city gate was still open, and there were many ironclad soldiers guarding the gate, and Huang Qianshan's carriage came running, but no one stepped forward to stop it.
Huang Qianshan ran out of the city and went straight to the barracks.
As soon as they approached the barracks, they were blocked by a patrol group.
Huang Qianshan hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car and shouted: "The prefect of Hejian is here, quickly give way, this mansion is looking for Zheng Xianggong to discuss urgent matters." ”
A soldier in front of the head stepped forward and said, "It was the prefect who came in person, and the young general has seen it." I don't know if Shangguan knows tonight's password, the young general's last sentence, Iron Horse Binghe! ”
Where did Huang Qianshan know what passwords were not passwords, so he only said: "Don't be noisy, give way quickly, this mansion has no time to chat with you." ”
The military man's face was a little embarrassed, and he arched his hand and said: "Shangguan Rongyu, the young general walked twice under the command of Zheng Xianggong, and the military order really didn't dare to slack off, without a password, I really can't let this way tonight." ”
Huang Qianshan has not governed the army, that is, this Hejian Mansion was originally an important military town, but Huang Qianshan has never taken these military men in his eyes, except for food and salary, he has never worried about the affairs of military men. But it was only today that I really saw the power of these military men "messing around", and only asked: "Where are you the military general of the state capital, how dare you block the way of this government?" ”
"Back to Shangguan, the young general is under the command of General Runing Huyan. I didn't dare to block the way of Shangguan, but the army was different, so I really didn't dare to joke with the military order, and asked Shangguan to forgive me. ”
The head of this army said that he walked twice under Zheng Zhi, that is, Hu Yanzhuo was under Zheng Zhi twice. Guarding the barracks road tonight is obviously also under the command of someone else. In the final analysis, it's just that Zheng Zhi wants to hide and doesn't want to see Huang Qianshan, the prefect of Hejian.
At this time, Huang Qianshan could not feel that something was wrong, and he seemed to be put on the spot.
Huang Qianshan walked out of the carriage, stood in front of his head, and saw dozens of soldiers in front of him, and thought about it carefully in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
After pacing left and right for a few more steps, the suspicion and verification in his heart were almost the same, and he shouted: "If this mansion does not enter the barracks, you will go and call Zheng Zhi out, and say that Huang Qianshan, the prefect of Hejian, is waiting for him at the camp gate." ”
"Shangguan is really embarrassed by the young general, what kind of person Zheng Xianggong is, there are 100,000 armor soldiers under his command, and the young general is qualified to see every head. He said that General Huyan of my family did not dare to disturb him at night, and the official forgave his sins. This soldier is a little flexible in his mind, and the excuses he made are enough, so he said that he was not qualified to meet, and outsiders sounded a little reasonable. If Zheng Zhi's corporal heard it, he would immediately know that this was a pretext, and in the camp, how could the military situation not be played by the commander?
But this head also told the truth, if you really want to calculate, Zheng Zhi is now under his command, and he really barely has enough 100,000 numbers.
The commander of 100,000 soldiers and horses, but he is a four-grade doctor. This is also the first time that this matter has been taken seriously in the Great Song Dynasty.
When Huang Qianshan heard this, he pointed in the direction of the barracks, his whole body trembled, and he shouted: "Zheng Zhi。。。。。。 You... You... Seriously... How dare you do that? ”
When everyone in front of them heard this, they were puzzled, that is, they didn't know what this Zheng Xianggong had done to make this Hejian prefect angry like this.
I only heard Huang Qianshan say again: "Zheng Zhi avoided it, just let it go, and then go and tell him that the government will go back tonight and immediately play Tokyo, impeach him for arson and plunder the state treasury, and see if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the officials in Tokyo will let him be so presumptuous, and he will be asked to take off this official uniform and go to Beijing to receive the crime." ”
This head is sensible, and stepped forward and said: "Shangguan rest assured, this is a word of informance to my family, General Huyan will take it to the prime minister." Please also ask the prefect to go back first, don't teach me and other obedient people to be embarrassed. ”
"Let's go!" Huang Qianshan climbed into the carriage and said hatefully, that is, he was going back to the yamen to find paper and pen.
When Huang Qianshan arrived at the entrance of the Yaya, he met Wu Yong again.
Wu Yong stepped forward and said: "Governor Huang's Mansion waits, there is a big gap between this account book and the actual amount of money, and I ask Governor Huang to quickly make up for the shortfall, so as not to make up for the shortfall in my family's father-in-law, I'm afraid that Governor Huang can't afford to be guilty." ”
The original way is that Wu Yong counted it slightly, that is, the internal and external yamen are also far apart, and I think that this Huang Qianshan also has a secret place to hide silver, so he also wants to spit it out.
Huang Qianshan walked quickly, and when he heard Wu Yong's words, he immediately stopped, and scolded: "What are you, how dare you threaten this mansion, get aside." ”
After speaking, Huang Qianshan walked inside.
Wu Yong was behind him, and also reminded: "The Huang Governor's Mansion must not lose a big one because of a small one, the deficit of the treasury is a big crime, and the whereabouts of the money are unknown, even the Huang Governor's Mansion can't afford it." Please think about it a little more. ”
Huang Qianshan was on top of his head, where could he hear Wu Yong's words, he walked in without looking back, found pen and ink, and wrote hard in the noise of soldiers coming and going.
It's really sad that a prefect has come to this point. It is also pitiful to say, and there is even more hateful in the pitiful, that is, when Huang Qianshan saw Zheng Zhi's words of evasion, it also foreshadowed such a miserable treatment today.
Zheng Zhi acted more and more boldly. In the boldness, more comes from anxiety about the future. A person can see the danger of the future, and this anxiety is always with him, and the closer the danger, the greater the anxiety.
Although Zheng Zhi usually doesn't express much anxiety in his heart, this anxiety is getting heavier and heavier. is so fierce and tries to develop its power in such a way, the golden Jurchen is like a sharp sword hanging over Zheng Zhi's heart, always reminding and spurring Zheng Zhi to constantly consolidate his strength.
This matter is not only about the country and the nation, but also directly related to Zheng Zhi's own net worth.
In Weizhou in the northwest, the seed master Dao was also anxious, and returned to Weizhou with three million fast horses. Zhe Keqiu and Liu Fa were also on their way to Weizhou.
The situation in the northwest is well understood, and what the party wants is Lingzhou City, followed by the Jingsai Military Division. Lingzhou City has already borne the brunt.
Although the party is separated from Lingzhou City by a Tengger Desert, this Tengger Desert is not a moat, coming from west to east, but three hundred miles away, if the party is a large army assembled, drive to Xiliangfu, and cross the three hundred miles of Tengger Desert, it is Lingzhou City.
As for the Great Wall, it has been abandoned for many years, and Jiayuguan Yumen Pass is still on the territory of Western Xia in the west of Tengger. Only by completely exterminating the party and repairing the Great Wall can it become a barrier again.
In the city of Lingzhou, 20,000 or 30,000 local Han people and 4,000 Xiang troops were garrisoned. This bit of people, even if the party is now in decline, if it is attacking the city, it must be like a bag to get something.
It has been five or six days since the division raised the recruitment of troops and recruited the generals under the command of the old days, but Weizhou (Pingliang, Jingyuan, Chongxin, Huating) only recruited more than 1,000 people, and Weizhou itself did not have many veterans, but Qingzhou (Qingyang) recruited more than 3,000 people, and Yuanzhou (Zhenyuan) was less than 1,000 people.
The seed master really pinned his hope on Yan'an Mansion, which is the place where the seed family has been running for generations, and it is the base camp of the seed family, and it is the place where the most elite seed families are.
But it was this recruited old soldier who made the Seed Master Dao a little disappointed, even more miserable than the Seed Master Dao imagined, the original muscles of those good men, now many of them are actually skinny, only a few still have the same body as they were at the beginning.
In the northwest, being a soldier is to make a living, even if the treatment given by the master is good, but it is also to support the family, and it is not very rich. Once they lost this livelihood, the government randomly set aside a piece of barren mountains and wilderness for these people to open up the wasteland and be self-sufficient, but how to be self-sufficient.
The method of reclamation is feasible in the south of the Lianghuai River, but in the barren land on the northwest border, unless the good land of the large families is purchased and cultivated, it is really difficult to reclaim the barren mountains and wilderness and feed the family.
However, those ministers in Tokyo knew that it was difficult, and if they did not give money to buy land, they issued an order, which made it difficult for the local yamen, and the local yamen could not solve the root of the problem by doing their duty.
If you change the angle, blame Zheng Zhi for his victory is too big, many people say that raising Kou is self-respecting, for these military generals in the northwest and the soldiers under their command, it is actually good to let go of the party.
There are always these pros and cons, and neither method is good. After all, it is the people who suffer.
When Liu Fa and Zhe Keqiu came from the north, and the seed division also came from Qinzhou, the four of them sat down, and the left and right generals were twenty or thirty, but Yang Keshi was still on the way to come.
Liu Fa didn't say much about the scene, and said straightly: "Huangzhou (Minhe, Ledu) came to report that the party army is assembling in the Gansu Military Division (Zhangye), leaving me to wait for more than a month. ”
Liu Fa's words were full of worry, and when the seed master heard this, he thought for a moment and asked: "If Lingzhou is difficult to defend, we will stick to Xishou and Jingsai Zhucheng, if it is really not possible, then retreat to Huizhou New Town, and wait for the army to be ready, and then go out of Huizhou for a decisive battle." ”
Hearing this, the planter hurriedly said: "Big brother, I'm so afraid that I won't be able to explain to Tokyo, and I will lose so many cities as soon as I start the battle, I'm afraid that I will be guilty." ”
"Alas... How can I not know that I will be convicted, and now there is no other way, if I put all the soldiers in one city after another, they will all be consumed by then, and what kind of decisive battle to retreat from the enemy, and the new party is like chicken ribs, there is not much to govern the people, and there is no production to produce, rather than to hold on, it is better to abandon it. When the whole army is completed and the battle is decided, it is the time for the party to destroy the country. The words of the seed master showed fierceness.
Liu Fa also nodded when he heard this, and only said: "Winter is approaching, and the party's food and grass will inevitably be unsustainable, so they will move these cities together, and the cattle and sheep in the wild, even if they can't be taken away, they will be shot and buried together. This method is very good, and the old man agrees. ”
Everyone reached a consensus, and then each divided the money to recruit the old department, and began to clear the wall.
But it is not unreasonable to worry about the seeds, things will not go as smoothly as people think, we can only wait and see.
