Chapter 192: The Court Facing the King

The chemical workshop was quickly built, the sales channels were connected, and the production of soap and shampoo began after buying raw materials. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info On this day, Zhao Guohua inspected the production process in the chemical workshop for a while, and was about to go back to the county office to deal with official business, when he saw a garrison running over panting and said: "Report to the captain, Xiong Wencan, the prime minister of military affairs of the five provinces, has come to the county office, and he asks you to go back to receive the holy decree......"

"Receiving the Holy Decree? I? Zhao Guohua asked in disbelief.

"Yes! ......" the team member replied in the affirmative.

Turning his head and glancing at the five of them, Zhao Guohua said, "Are the big brothers going with me?" ”

Lao Hui glanced back at the other four people, and said lightly: "No." Let's just watch the soldier training here. ”

"Okay, then I'll go." After speaking, Zhao Guohua bowed his hand to Lao Huihui and others, and went to the county office.

Entering the county office, I saw one hundred and ten brocade sergeants standing guard on both sides of the hall, in the middle was Xiong Wencan and a young eunuch were talking, seeing Zhao Guohua come in, Xiong Wencan greeted him warmly, and said with a smile: "Guohua, you are here, come and see Gonggong Liu" After speaking, he took his hand, came to the eunuch, and introduced with a smile: "Gonggong Liu, he is the general Zhao Guohua of the garrison." ”

Liu's father-in-law's name is Liu Ji, he is Wang Chengen's godson, and Wang Chengen likes him very much, seeing that Chongzhen is concerned about Zhao Guohua, he sent Liu Ji over to see if this person is worth befriending.

After looking Zhao Guohua up and down, Gonggong Liu smiled and said sharply: "Heroic and extraordinary, with the demeanor of a Confucian general, he deserves to be a hero who captures the old and returns......"

"Where, where, it's just a fluke, this is completely thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, plus Governor Xiong's good plan." Zhao Guohua said modestly.

Seeing that his posture was very low, and there was no pride after his meritorious service, Gonggong Liu felt good about him, so he said with a smile; "General Zhao, take the order."

Entering the countryside and following the customs, there was no way, Zhao Guohua had to kneel.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and said, the loyal and brave team is effective in suppressing Kou, and the captain Wude General Zhao Guohua serves the country with all his heart, and captures the drama with wisdom, and has made outstanding achievements. After reciting the holy decree, Gonggong Liu said with a smile: "General Zhao, pack up and prepare to return to Beijing with our family." ”

After receiving the holy decree, Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "It's not early today, how about asking the angel and the governor Xiong to stay in Macheng County for a while?" ”

Looking at the sky, Gonggong Liu and Xiong Wencan glanced at each other and nodded to each other, Xiong Wencan smiled and said, "Then disturb Guohua." ”

"Where, Gonggong Liu and Governor Xiong are giving them below, and it's too late to be happy." Zhao Guohua said happily.

Invite Gonggong Liu, Xiong Wencan and those Jinyi guards to go to "Wufu Building" to eat and drink, water and land dishes, famous wines from all over the world, eat the corners of their mouths, full of praise.

After dinner, the room was smoked, and Gonggong Liu and Xiong Wencan were sent back to the backyard of the county government to rest, Zhao Guohua reported to Xiong Wencan about the handling of the fifth battalion of the Gezuo, Xiong Wencan paced and thought carefully for a while, and then said: "I have no opinion on the treatment of ordinary soldiers, but you should be cautious about the placement of the five people such as Lao Huihui, so as to avoid the situation of these five people from surrendering and rebelling." ”

"Thank you for reminding me, I will think about it, and there will never be a rebellion." Zhao Guohua said solemnly.

Considering that Zhao Guohua returned from overseas and did not know much about the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Wencan told him about some matters and etiquette that needed to be paid attention to after entering Beijing.

After some conversation, Zhao Guohua said goodbye. For the safety of Gonggong Liu and Xiong Wencan, he transferred the Bayi Commando to be the county guard, and then he returned to the brigade headquarters to convene a meeting of Zhang Shun, Cheng Chong, Lu Qing and others, at the meeting, he said: "The imperial court summoned me to the capital, it may take more than a month to come back, after I go to the Beijing Division, the garrison corps will be temporarily managed by Cheng Chong, Zhang Shun and Lu Qing assist, Liu Youtian is responsible for the city defense, Niu Huan took ten team members to go to the capital with me." You and Lao Huihui and others must do a good job of unity, and they are not allowed to discriminate against them, and Cheng Chong is also responsible for the training of new recruits, and they must not be relaxed, and I will be assessed after I come back. ”

"Captain, don't worry, we will do these things." Cheng Chong said solemnly.

After arranging the affairs of Macheng, Zhao Guohua deliberately went to talk to Lao Huihui and others for a while, and then went back to sleep.

After breakfast the next day, Zhao Guohua gave Liu Gonggong and Xiong Wencan 2,000 taels of silver each, and Jinyiwei also 50 taels each. Along the way, Zhao Guohua invited him to eat and drink, and he was happy to have more than 20 Jinyi guards call him brothers, and Liu Gonggong was also very satisfied.

One afternoon more than ten days later, I finally arrived in the capital Beijing, looking at the 15-meter-high city wall of Beijing more than 300 years ago, the dense soldiers on the city wall, the dazzling swords and guns, and the endless flow of vehicles and people in and out of the city gate, Zhao Guohua couldn't help but sigh. In later generations, the city of Beijing has long been without city walls, so it is natural that it is impossible to see the crowded and lively scene of hundreds of thousands of people coming in and out of several doorways more than 300 years ago.

"This Zhao Guohua, although he is bold, but after all, he came from a small place, and it seems that he was shocked by the prosperity of the Beijing Division." Gonggong Liu sat in the carriage and whispered to himself.

Seeing Zhao Guohua looking at the gate of Jingshi in a daze from the car window, he couldn't help but feel a trace of pride as a person of Jingshi in his heart.

After entering the city and finding an inn to settle Zhao Guohua and Liu Youtian, Liu Gonggong went to pay the order

Zhao Hu said: "Brother Zhao, along the way, the brothers ate and drank yours, and when we arrived in the capital, it was time for us to invite you back, and when we went back to pay the order, we will invite you to drink." After speaking, he said loudly again: "Shopkeeper, you have to serve my brother Zhao well, otherwise, we will not be able to meet in the future." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the shop will serve the two masters well." The shopkeeper nodded and bowed.

Gucheng, Hubei, where the troops of Zuo Liangyu and Chen Hongfan were stationed. Since Yunyang was injured, Zhang Xianzhong fled here, although Zuo Liangyu and Chen Hongfan commanded the army to attack the city several times, but Zhang Xianzhong led the troops to resist desperately, seeing that it was difficult to capture for a while, Zuo Liangyu did not attack, but surrounded the city to prevent Zhang Xianzhong from escaping, and blocked the roads around the valley city, Zhang Xianzhong saw that he could not escape and had to retreat in the valley city.

"Where did this Zhao Guohua pop out of his mother, how did he capture Lao Huihui and the other five people? It's fucking weird, could it be that Lao Huihui and the others are asleep? Zuo Liangyu read Xiong Wencan's letter and said to Chen Hongfan.

After taking the letter and reading it carefully, Chen Hongfan said: "The whole army of the fifth battalion of the left has surrendered, Xiong Wencan ordered the two of us to step up the attack on Zhang Xianzhong, at the moment in this Jianghuai area, there are only Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao Luo Rucai, the star Hui Dengxiang, Liu Guoneng and a few others, as long as Zhang Xianzhong is destroyed, the others are not worried." ”

"That's right, but this Zhang Xianzhong is so difficult to bite, and the others are wandering around, we can only take care of one head, and encircle and suppress the affairs of the Liukou family, and the other officers and soldiers also have to do their best, this Zhang Xianzhong is extremely fierce, even if we bother to destroy it, but if the troops are greatly damaged, no one will listen to what we talk in the future, in this world, there is no power without soldiers, there is no power without soldiers, you are a fart. We'll wait for Xiong Wencan to come with the army," Zuo Liangyu said.

Chen Hongfan was timid, he said cautiously: "Having said that, Xiong Wencan is after all an important minister of the prime minister's military affairs in the five provinces, and now he has surrendered the fifth battalion of the Gezuo, and his prestige has risen greatly, I think we should obey his military orders." This is the second military order he sent to attack Gucheng to exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, and if he doesn't act, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain. ”

"He, Xiong Wencan, is a fart, what ability does he have to command Lao Tzu......" Zuo Liangyu said loudly.

He is used to flying and dialing, relying on tens of thousands of troops in his hands, disobeying the orders of the imperial court, and ignoring the orders of his superiors, listening to what is good for him, and not listening to what is not beneficial.

Glancing at Chen Hongfan, Zuo Liangyu continued: "Lao Tzu has more bosses, Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, these people are stronger than him Xiong Wencan, they are all polite to Lao Tzu, he Xiong Wencan is in Fujian, he was lucky to recruit a pirate, and he got the false name of a capable minister, and now there is a fool Zhao Guohua who helped him, and let him get a credit for surrendering the fifth battalion of the left Zuo, such a boss Lao Tzu can't look down on it, if it weren't for Zhang Xianzhong, the dog thief, who killed Lao Tzu's brother, and Lao Tzu has a grudge against his brother, Lao Tzu has already taken the people and horses to other places, who still listens to his bullshit orders. ”

After speaking, he patted Chen Hongfan on the shoulder, Zuo Liangyu grinned and said with a big smile: "Brother Chen, we Lao Zuo sees that you are an honest man and is willing to make you a friend, so I told you what I thought in my heart, this Ming world, I can't hold it anymore, whoever has soldiers in the future will have a road, and keeping the strength is the most important thing, look at you, there are not a few beauties in the camp, so that you can accompany you to drink during the day, and you can be merry at night, if you need it, I will send you the two seventeen or eighteen-year-old rich ladies that my subordinates captured yesterday, What do you think? ”

"Nope! No! No! I'm not good at this, thank you Brother Zuo for your kindness, or Brother Zuo will keep it for himself. Chen Hongfan hurriedly excused himself.

Haha laughed, Zuo Liangyu said: "Since Brother Chen doesn't want it, then let's Lao Zuo will leave it for himself to enjoy ......" After speaking, he laughed and went to another camp.
