Chapter 606: The Strong Dragon Doesn't Suppress the Earth Head Snake?
In the northeast corner of Ningxia Town, the town guards the eunuch's mansion.
Although there is only one total soldier, there have always been two eunuchs guarding the rest of the country from Nanjing to the rest of the country. It stands to reason that these people are rarely low-key in the capital, and when they are put out in a place, they are naturally even more powerful, and it is absolutely unwilling for two people to occupy a house. However, in this Ningxia city, it is very rare for two eunuchs to live in the same mansion. One occupies the east road and the other occupies the west road, which is clearly distinguished, and the servants who are under the head rarely go to the opposite place on weekdays.
The reason why it is such a pattern is very simple, since the fifteenth year of Hongzhi because of Liu Daxia's recommendation, Yang Yiqing went to Shaanxi to supervise Ma Zheng, he drastically rectified all kinds of old diseases in the three border towns of Shaanxi, and the most powerful one of them was nothing else, that is, the use of eunuchs in the town was abolished. Originally, this Ningxia city was also like other places, among the two town guards eunuchs, the older one lived in the town guard eunuch's mansion, and the other one chose another Huawu beauty room outside, but Yang Yiqing cut off more than half of their annual consumption, and it was when the big bosses in the court were in power, and the town guard eunuchs were annoyed and had nowhere to complain, so they had to be together.
And the current Li Zeng and Deng Guang were all sent over after the Zhengde reform, and they were originally very dissatisfied with this cramped environment, but Yang Yiqing's recommended master Liu Daxia was angry, and Liu Jian and Xie Qian were also driven out of the court, but they couldn't stand Yang Yiqing There was a powerful backer behind him. Therefore, they who dare not be angry but dare not speak out have to accept this reality. Now that this Pingbei Bo Xu Xun has also gone to Ningxia in person, after the disembarkation a few days ago, the two of them are even more uncomfortable.
So on this day, Liu Jin's special envoy who came from the capital served Yu Wang Ning, and the two couldn't help sighing. Their duties were all because of the heavy bribery of Liu Jin, who thought that Shaanxi was located on the border and could always have a lot of benefits. But their use was tightly stuck by Yang Yiqing's two words, and the general military mansion had just caught the line of King Qing, and the business did not run twice, but Xu Xun, who had just arrived, gave a clear insight, and at this time he even had the mind to transfer away.
"Father-in-law, it's not that we pick and choose, it's really that this Pingbei Uncle is too unpredictable. Celebrating the king's birthday banquet, everyone in the General Military Mansion went to Feng, he should have been furious, but instead asked Qiu Yue to send a jade belt as a gift, but what about us...... Although my brother-in-law Chen Zhan is not a great figure, after all, he is the deputy Qianhu appointed by the Ministry of War in black and white, and he will kill him when he says that he will kill it, and I heard that the head is still hanging on the flagpole of the Black Mountain Battalion at this time! ”
Speaking of which, although he had never seen it in person, the old soldier who quietly ran back to report the news said it vividly, even if he slept at night, he seemed to be able to see the bloody head, and he couldn't help but shudder again, and then said with a bitter face: "I came to Ningxia Town with Lao Deng and said that I would pay tribute to Gonggong Liu, but now don't talk about this one, I'm afraid that even whether this son can go to prison may not be known." Now Pingbei Boren is not in Ningxia, but Miao Gonggong Zhang Gonggong is wandering around the city all day long, what kind of people are they on the brand name, if they grab me and Lao Deng Yiding, we will completely stand aside! ”
"That's not what I said."
Wang Ning is nothing in the eyes of Da Jue, who grabs a lot of money in the capital, but outside, just because he is a close confidant of Liu Jin, it is enough for people to look up to him. However, when he thought that Xu Xun was in Ningxia who was fighting against Xu Xun in the capital, he couldn't overpack the tickets, so he just smiled slightly: "Gonggong Liu can naturally understand your difficulties. After all, Yang Yiqing is already known as the king of Shaanxi, and Xu Xunren, who supported him, came to Ningxia in person, plus Miao Gonggong Zhang Gonggong, you naturally can't hold it. Therefore, don't meddle in this military strategy and border affairs, you look at this. Seeing Wang Ning take out a letter from his arms, Li Zeng and Deng Guang glanced at each other, and then stood up together, and Li Zeng took the lead and took it with both hands respectfully. opened the envelope and took out the thin piece of letterhead inside, he only glanced at it and handed it to Deng Guang, and then said with surprise and joy: "Gonggong Liu is saying, in Tuntian, Shaanxi?" ”
"Exactly!" Wang Ning smiled proudly, and then gently tapped his fingers on the table in front of him and said, "The three towns of Shaanxi are located in the northwest, and Gonggong Liu has checked the account books of the past years, and found that it is too difficult to transfer grain. Instead of spending countless feet and money every year to transport the grain and salary, it is better to let the Shaanxi Zhuwei open up the barren tuntian, so that not only can they be self-sufficient, but also can pay summer taxes and autumn grain to the imperial court, so that is not the best of both worlds? ”
Deng Guang also finished reading Liu Jin's warrant at hand at this time, and saw the huge wealth in it for a while, and immediately couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Father-in-law Liu's plan is really good, but I don't know ...... about it" "This is Father-in-law Liu's good governance, of course it can't be handed over to those long-winded officials, just give it to the two of you!" Wang Ning paused when he said this, and when he saw that the two of them showed deep joy, he said with a smile, "Of course, such a good thing, in the production of each acre of land, don't forget to ......give it to Grandpa Liu."
"Yes, yes, this is inevitable, the prince just doesn't remind him, and it should be our filial piety!" Li Zeng rushed to the front to show his loyalty, and seeing Wang Ning nodding with satisfaction, he thought about it and said with a smile on his face, "But the prince has come to our Shaanxi thousands of miles away, if Gonggong Deng and I let you go back empty-handed, it will be too unreasonable." Please also ask the prince to stay a few days less, and I and Grandpa Deng still have some gifts for Grandpa Liu, please take them back. ”
Seeing that Li Zeng had already stuffed something over without moving, Wang Ning looked down and saw that it was a piece of beautiful jade with good texture, he naturally smiled, and then he also smiled at Deng Guang's golden unicorn. Next, the three of them naturally discussed with each other about the matter of Tuntian, and finally after almost deciding on the matter, a shrill voice came from outside.
"Father-in-law Qiyu, Uncle Pingbei has already arrived at the Shuai Mansion!"
"Why is it so fast?"
When Li Zeng and Deng Guang took office, they both symbolically went around in various important health centers in Ningxia Town, among which Ningxia Pingyu Thousand Households naturally had to go. However, in Zhenyuanguan, which is more than 100 miles northwest of Ningxia Pingjiao, none of them have ever been there, and they have only heard that it is the closest place to the captives in the entire Ningxia Town, and no one is willing to run this unjust road. Now that Xu Xun has rectified the Black Mountain Camp, I heard that he doesn't know what kind of fame he is making in Zhenyuanguan, and he still wants people to stay there for a few more days, but who would have thought that people would suddenly come back at this time!
So, Deng Guang pondered for a moment, then looked at Wang Ning flatteringly and said, "Princess, do you say we are ......?"
"Pingbei Bo is a Qincha, not to mention that he used to kill like that in the Black Mountain camp before, you have to go over, and you have to tear yourself up and clean up when you turn back, and by the way, you will be able to smooth things out, otherwise if he really eats the iron heart, you eunuchs will not be able to do it!" Seeing that Li Zeng and Deng Guang were silent, Wang Ning said slowly at this time, "Of course, our family will also go with you." Pingbeibo and Father-in-law Liu have never torn their faces, and some things always have to buy Father-in-law Liu's face. ”
As if confirming Wang Ning's words, when the three of them rushed to the lobby of the Shuai Mansion, they found that Xu Xun did not vigorously pursue the matter of the Black Mountain Camp as soon as he came back, but spread out the map and Jiang Han and other generals said that this time they had committed the retreat of Guyuan. When he heard Xu Xun say that this group of captives might be led by one of the sons of the little prince, Wang Ning's eyes suddenly lit up. ..., after seeing the hole, he opened his mouth and smiled: "If it is really the son of the little prince, then if it can hold people, wouldn't it be a great merit?" Speaking of which, the last time Pingbei Bo also led the troops to break the little prince's soldiers and horses, I heard that even the second son is nowhere to be found, if this time he draws a gourd again, the prestige of the little prince will never be able to shake again! Since the last victory in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Jiubian has never won any decent battles, this is a rare opportunity! ”
Xu Xun only noticed Wang Ning who came with Li Zeng and Deng Guang at this time. Of course, he won't be unrecognizable by the first arm under Liu Jin's command, but when he arrives in Shaanxi, he doesn't know why. Therefore, he only nodded slightly, and then looked at Jiang Han, the chief soldier guarding Ningxia.
"It is not known how many soldiers and horses this force has, Ningxia's troops are far inferior to Yansui, if you rush to transfer troops, ......"
"General Jiang is worried, so I have already ordered someone to go to the sentry, and now all I have to do is to prepare. I just want to ask at the moment, how many soldiers and horses can Ningxia avant-garde and the left and right Zhongtun guards draw out in total? ”
The temptation of military merit is great, but the risk is even greater, at this moment, Jiang Han couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then said in a difficult voice: "The Ningxia avant-garde and the left and right Zhongtun guards can draw a total of 10,000 military horses at most. ”
Xu Xun nodded, but didn't say what to do next, but looked at Wang Ning and said, "Wang Gonggong didn't follow Liu Gonggong, but how did he come to Ningxia Town?" ”
Wang Ning is thinking about this time no matter what, he will also use Xu Xun's troops - although if Xu Xun makes meritorious achievements, he will inevitably be more powerful after returning to the dynasty, but the war is no better than others, especially against the prisoners, many long-term generals are also less victorious and more defeated, if Xu Xun only relies on his previous victories, in case he fights, at that time, as soon as the saint is gone, Liu Jin can easily gain the upper hand. Moreover, since Xu Xun went out to fight, he would have to be out of Ningxia for ten days and half a month, and the Tuntian matter could be carried out more smoothly. Therefore, Xu Xun's question, he didn't pay attention at first, and it wasn't until Li Zeng coughed that he came back to his senses.
Although he didn't hear Xu Xun ask, in his mind, Xu Xun must still be talking about the battle just now, so he cleared his throat and said: "Ping Beibo only led more than a thousand people to crisscross the enemy behind enemy lines before, and now if there is a large army to help, he will naturally be invincible and frightened......
As he spoke, he noticed the strange eyes of the people around him, and immediately understood that he was afraid that he was self-defeating, but at this time, if he stopped, it would be even more embarrassing, and he had to continue to talk until Xu Xun looked at him with a smile, and he stopped talking.
