In the Zhizhou Mansion, Xu Shang, who was dressed in a cyan brocade official uniform, sat on the main seat, playing with the teacup in his hand lightly, as if he had won the proposal to imprison the prefect Yan Rongxuan, Xu Shang actually knew very well that Han Yu's purpose for coming here was nothing more than to ask him to come forward and force those powerful people to hand over the private soldiers in the palace in the name of the government. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is indeed a good way to occupy morality, but it is also easy to offend people, the way to be an official throughout the ages is to blow, shoot, coax, and tribute, I have never heard of taking the initiative to offend people, but the prefect has a special meaning for Zhizhou Xu Shang.

What Han Yu didn't know was that it turned out that Xu Zhizhou gave almost all of his net worth and all his secrets to Yan Rongxuan, and wanted to be promoted and transferred to the Beijing Division, all pointing to this prefect who was in the court, so even at the risk of offending the Fengyang magnates, Xu Shang planned to take a risk, provided that Han Yu agreed to let him imprison Yan Rongxuan.

And the reason why Xu Shang is full of confidence, the most important thing is because of Han Yu's identity, although Han Yu has a special status, instead of his brother Zhang Tanghuai, he temporarily leads the government affairs of Fengyang, and even his five-grade Zhizhou has to go out to greet him in person, but in the final analysis, Han Yu is just a grass people, and some small things can have the final say, but the decree issued is like waste paper, and to issue a decree in the name of the government, it can only be done by him, the governor.

In the face of Xu Zhizhou's proposal, Han Yu was a little hesitant in his heart, don't look at the prefect Yan Rongxuan's previous private contact with the Kou army, planning to let the enemy Kou Wai City plunder, and trying to save his life with this kind of hypothetical appeasement policy, but this idea has not been put into action, and the definition of this strategy has not formed a fact, whether it is to temporarily avoid the limelight and gain time, or to cooperate with the enemy to rebel, when the time comes, it will be sloppy, right or wrong depends on the decision of Emperor Chongzhen on the pilgrimage.

"Brother Xu, is there no room for negotiation in this matter?" Han Yu was full of smiles, obviously he didn't intend to let go of the prefect Yan Rongxuan, although Fengyang was surrounded by the Kou army and seized the prefect in everything, but no matter what, he couldn't escape the responsibility for the following crimes, so he had to control Yan Rongxuan tightly, so as not to increase the incident.

"Han Gongzi, please go back!" Xu Shang's face was pale, he was no longer commensurate with his brother, and he said without being contemptuous or slow, nothing was more important to him than his career.

"Once the city is broken, Brother Xu has thought about the consequences..."Han Yu does not intend to give up, the purpose of this visit is not only to need Zhizhou Xu Shang to speak, but more importantly, to pull him into the water, because Zhang Tanghuai forced a group of powerful people to give up their interests with his soldiers, and restored the price of Fengyang rice market, although it stabilized the hearts of the people in the city, but also offended many powerful figures, many of whom had a strong relationship between the DPRK and China, even far above Feng Ji, once the Kou army was defeated and retreated, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not wait for an opportunity to retaliate, as long as he could be tightly tied to the government, At least have a chance to speak out, so as not to be framed for not knowing what is not clear.

What worries Han Yu is that the officials above the court in the late Ming Dynasty, these people have done nothing in major matters, but they are quite dedicated to impeaching and cracking down on dissidents, and the following crimes are naturally verbal criticism, and the most important thing is that for these officials, on the one hand, they are the small Qianchang Battalion Officials who are temporarily guarding Fengyang, and on the other hand, Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the Donglin Party behind them, when they learn about Fengyang's affairs, these officials who are good at standing in line don't care who defends the royal ancestral tomb, and will make a wise choice as quickly as possible.

"I believe that Lord Zhang will be able to defend the city gate, and as for the city breaking, this official is willing to fight..."Xu Shang looked at Han Yu with a smile, obviously not planning to change his original intention.

Xu Shang was very badly beaten, but he was the five-grade governor of the imperial court.

Han Yu is desperate, even if Kaecheng surrenders at this time, Zhang Xianzhong will not let go of Zhang Tanghuai and his family, the only reliance to save his life is Zhang Tanghuai's exploits in defending Fengyang City, I have to admit that Han Yu's belief in keeping Fengyang City is stronger than Xu Shang, Han Yu has no choice but to cooperate with him.

"Since Lord Xu is like this, it is better to have three chapters of the law!" Han Yu stood up and clasped his fists and saluted.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." For Han Yu's concession, Xu Shang's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, no matter what conditions Han Yu proposed, his goal had been achieved.

"First of all, please ask Lord Xu to write a letter to denounce Yan Rongxuan's guilt, secondly, the jailers who came to see the detention, half of the battalion soldiers and officials, and thirdly, Yan Rongxuan must not come into contact with strangers, the above three points are also the final bottom line, otherwise Han Yu can only be disrespectful and forcibly issue a decree in the name of Lord Zhizhou..."Han Yu looked at Xu Shanglang and said.

Xu Shang groaned slightly, then raised his head and said, "The official agreed, or..."

"Please also take Master Xu out for a trip..."

Now that the matter has been discussed, everything is just from the perspective of interests, so naturally there is no need to be polite, and Han Yu is not polite, and immediately asks Xu Shang to implement his promise.

Xu Shang smiled calmly, got up and tidied up his official uniform and said: "As an official of the imperial court, this official knows the responsibility of guarding the city, and Han Gongzi, a servant in this mansion, can take it away, please..."

Han Yu didn't know how to ride a horse, so he could only take a sedan chair, and Wang Wei led a group of elite soldiers to follow closely and soon came to the east city where the powerful lived.

Sure enough, Xu Shang came forward to do a lot easier, although many magnates were a little hesitant, but after Han Yu provided silver taels as a guarantee, and under the threat of the city breaking, most of the magnates handed over a lot of private soldiers, scattered together There were six or seven hundred people, Han Yu did not expect these magnates to be able to dig out the bottom of the box, and it was not easy to obtain these private soldiers with good combat effectiveness.

In addition to the official errands recruited from the government and more than 200 people, Han Yu temporarily recruited new soldiers, with silver salaries and full food, and there were many people who signed up for a while, and in less than a day, Han Yu actually had more than 1,500 soldiers under his account, and if he had money and food, he could become the king of grass, and Han Yu really experienced it.

However, these people are soldiers, it is really a bit too overestimated them, everyone standing on the school field has their own way, private soldiers, officials, and ordinary people are clearly divided into three teams, and Han Yu is both angry and funny, many people are holding their blades horizontally, and they are digging the ground with a hoe, and those officials are standing tall, but they are obviously all showy, but those green forest heroes have amazing combat effectiveness, but Han Yu can see from their ability to fight in groups, ten against twenty actually do not fall behind at all.

It's just that the battle is not a heads-up, the battlefield is often a cooperative battle, no matter how strong the personal ability is, the army is looking for death from it, so the famous general Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty has never liked to recruit green forest heroes with good martial arts, and it is sometimes not a good thing to have too much personality, but it is a pity that Han Yu has no chance to pick and choose, and it is not easy to make up these soldiers.

The original plan has been realized, but although Han Yu is not familiar with military affairs, he will not immediately take this group of people to the city to support, once the real sword and gun and the battle-hardened Kou army are confronted, these recruits who have not even killed domestic animals will probably turn around and run away immediately, the blow to the morale of the deserters is very huge, at least Han Yu wants them to understand the price they have to pay when they desert.

Han Yu stood on the stage first, and loudly announced the decree three times in a row.

Soon a unique military training came, Han Yu first lined up the private soldiers, the officials, and the common people, and selected thirty people from the elite soldiers under Wang Wei's account, each of whom was in charge of fifty people, and used the most general way to take the right step to train coordination, but although it was a positive step, everyone held a sword and shield in their hands.

Before the training lasted long, there was a problem, several private soldiers dropped their blades and shields, lying on the ground and unwilling to practice again, the battalion soldiers who were responsible for training these fifty people stepped forward, and were immediately surrounded by more than ten premeditated private soldiers and beaten violently, because there was no order, the battalion soldiers did not dare to kill the killer, and they were beaten to the ground and dying in less than a moment.

Wang Wei, who was full of resentment, stepped forward and picked up the seriously injured soldier who fell to the ground, his cold eyes swept over the private soldiers.

Han Yu followed, looking at the group of private soldiers with an indifferent expression and said indifferently: "Entering our school battalion, since you are a battalion soldier, who is the leader?!" ”

An older bearded man stepped forward, looked at Han Yu and said contemptuously: "You are just a grass man, you have no power to restrain the chicken, why should you train us and others, and besides, what is the benefit of this ridiculous training, either take us up to the city to defend the city, or let us and others leave!" ”

Han Yu sneered in his heart, in fact, the reason why he didn't give those battalion soldiers the right to kill soldiers who didn't obey orders was not to forget, but to do so deliberately, Han Yu was waiting for this kind of bird, just to kill a hundred to deter the whole army, this older bearded man, was very self-righteous and commented on Han Yu, but he didn't know that everything was in Han Yu's plan.
