Chapter 384: Dragon Vein, Guozuo, Smoke in the Ass
0384)
Shi Kefa looked at Zhang Shenyan and said euphemistically: "Kun Cen Gong, this person is not useless, at least he knows how to lead soldiers."
Yang Yipeng and Zhang Shenyan are both Jinshi in Wanli for 30 years, in front of their two old-timers, Shi Kefa, who was a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, is a veritable junior Yang Yipeng's word Kuncen, and Shi Kefa is also called Kuncen Gong As for Zhang Shenyan, he has already noticed that Zhang Shenyan is quite talented
In fact, Shi Kefa also has a little appreciation for Zhang Zhun's leading troops In the Ming army team that Shi Kefa has come into contact with, there is no one whose troops can make Shi Kefa so impressed with high morale, full of energy, orders and prohibitions, strict discipline, several times stronger than all the Ming army, but in general, this guy is still a thorn
Yang Yipeng said angrily: "There are many people in the world who know how to lead soldiers, and he is not Qi Shaobao!" ”
Zhang Shenyan said slowly: "Kuncen, this person has the style of Qi Shaobao."
Yang Yipeng was slightly stunned, seemed to be a little disbelieving, and said in a deep voice: "Contempt Mountain, you value him so much? ”
Zhang Shenyan nodded, and said affirmatively: "If this son can be used by me, it must be another Qi Shaobao, or even more than that."
Yang Yipeng said angrily: "Qi Shaobao is not as rude as him"
Zhang Shenyan said obscurely: "This is exactly the difficulty"
Yang Yipeng said stupidly: "The wolf is ambitious, and the tail is too big to fall...... Despise the mountain, Xianzhi, you think this person can be rewarded
What does it mean to serve the country? ”
Zhang Shenyan was silent
Shi Kefa said tentatively: "If the Duke of Kuncen and the Duke of Shan agree, the junior is willing to go to Yuzhou Mountain and talk to this Zhang Zhun in person, maybe they can find out what he really thinks."
Zhang Shenyan nodded and said: "It's very good, it's just that it's not too hasty, you need to know the way slowly."
Yang Yipeng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Okay, you go!" ”
Shi Kefa immediately left the city and took a boat to Yuzhou Mountain
Zhang Zhun didn't have any shelves, let people put Shi Kefa in, he was thinking about the construction of the wharf in the East China Sea, and there were some old drawings on the table, all of which were the original thousand households left in the East China Sea, and I don't know how long it took to sort out the last update date of these materials, it was actually the forty-fourth year of Wanli
Roughly calculated, for almost 20 years, such a thousand households have not touched these materials, if they can have combat effectiveness, it is really the sun coming out of the west, and now Zhang Zhun has taken over the East China Sea, naturally he has to play a major role, and these drawings are very important
When Shi Kefa came in, Brigadier Zhang rolled up the drawings, pointed to the seat next to him, motioned for him to sit down casually, and then said with a smile: "Shi Langzhong, don't come unharmed?" ”
Shi Kefa sat down with tears and laughter
It's only been a few days, what does it mean to be unharmed? Isn't that a deliberate attempt to embarrass me?
Fortunately, Shi Kefa came with a request, and he was used to Zhang Zhun's rudeness, and said slowly: "Yulin, you are indeed talented."
The rudeness of the Lord Governor only wants to see you, and there is only good for you, and there is no harm in you."
Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "What if you catch me and cut off my head with a knife?" ”
Shi Kefa said: "There is no such thing! ”
Zhang Zhun looked at Shi Kefa's eyes with a smile, and said casually: "Really not?" ”
Shi Kefa's ability to open his eyes and tell lies, that is also leveraged, this is the basic skill of civil officials, the so-called qi cultivation, in fact, it is joy, anger, sorrow, joy and panic, and he is invisible, his eyes do not move, and he insists: "There will be no such thing"
Zhang Zhun nodded, and said casually: "Then I'm Meng Lang, but Yang Yipeng's disaster is coming, and his death is not far away, I can't get any benefits when I see him, it's no big deal."
Shi Kefa was taken aback
What is the meaning of a catastrophe that is approaching, and the time of death is not far away?
Shi Kefa suddenly found that if he talked to Zhang Zhun according to the thinking of a civil official, he would definitely go crazy, and this person's thinking jumped too much, and if he was not careful, he jumped out of an earth-shattering sentence Yang Yipeng is the head of the household department, the governor of Caoyun, the governor of Fengyang, and the imperial envoy of the capital...... Every title is good! When he was in the court, he didn't hear of anyone impeaching Yang Yipeng for not doing things well! Alarmist, alarmist!
Zhang Zhun noticed that Shi Kefa's face was different, smiled casually, and said casually: "Shi Kefa, let me ask you, if the thief army in Henan suddenly goes south, attacks Fengyang Mansion, and burns Huangjue Temple, what do you think will happen to Yang Yipeng?" ”
Shi Kefa stood up
come
Fortunately, he didn't have a teacup in his hand, otherwise, he would have broken again
Zhang Zhun squinted at Shi Kefa, whose face was becoming more and more surprised, and said with a smile: "What? Not convinced? ”
Shi Kefa's face turned blue and white for a while, and his eyes were a little dull, showing the shock in his heart, which was beyond his tolerance limit For Shi Kefa, who was slowly cultivated in the city government, this was an unprecedented thing, even if the emperor scolded him in person, Shi Kefa would not have such a big reaction, and only after a while, Shi Kefa came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva hard, and said with difficulty: "...... I believe"
Nervous, he actually called himself me
The reason is very simple, Zhang Zhun's words stimulated him too much, he is Hubu Langzhong, for military affairs, he doesn't know much about the rebellious army in Henan, whether he will go south to Fengyang Mansion, he can't judge, but he knows very well that if the rebel army captures Fengyang Mansion and burns Huangjue Temple, Yang Yipeng will definitely be the result of being beheaded by the whole family, in addition to Yang Yipeng, a large number of officials will be implicated
What is Fengyang Mansion?
Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown!
What is Huangjue Temple?
Zhu Yuanzhang's land of dragon rejuvenation!
These two places are where the dragon veins of the legendary Ming Dynasty are located! What is Dragon Vein? The dragon vein is the fortune of the country! The destruction of the dragon vein means that the country is dim, and the time has come to change the dynasty! If the dragon veins of the Ming Dynasty are destroyed, then what will happen?
If what Zhang Zhun said is true, don't talk about the Hubu Shangshu, the governor of Caoyun, the governor of Fengyang, and the imperial envoy
The title of class, even if it gives you the title of overseer, or even the title of a prince, it is still a capital offense! The dragon vein was destroyed, and Emperor Chongzhen, who was angry, didn't know how many people's heads would be removed!
Zhang Zhun said lightly: "You go back and tell Yang Yipeng that if you want to live, you have to defend Fengyang Mansion, and if you can't defend Huangjue Temple, it will inevitably be the fate of the whole family being beheaded!" He has many enemies in the court! Once something happens to Fengyang Mansion, those people will inevitably attack it en masse! I think he is quite honest as an official, and I don't want to see him die in vain, so I have to say and point out all about it, so I can do it myself."
The more Shi Kefa thought about it, the more he felt that the consequences were serious, and it was as if he had hemorrhoids under his buttocks, so he couldn't sit still at all, so he simply stood up and said a little nervously: "I...... Farewell."
As for what kind of situation is in the DPRK and China, Shi Kefa knows better than Zhang Zhun who has the ability to save Yang Yipeng, there is absolutely no person who falls into the ground, but there are many What's more, who can save Yang Yipeng for such a major event? The so-called things gather by like, people by groups, he himself is an upright person, and he admires predecessors like Yang Yipeng and Zhang Shenyan, of course, he can't sit back and watch them make such a fatal mistake
After hurriedly saying goodbye, Shi Kefa left Yuzhou Mountain and went to the dock of Yuzhou Mountain, Shi Kefa suddenly remembered that he had come to persuade Zhang Zhun to serve the imperial court, and the result was ...... Forget it, next time we talk about the urgency of the military situation, there can be no delay
Shi Kefa hurriedly returned to Haizhou City, Zhang Shenyan
and Yang Yipeng are still talking, the two of them are Jinshi of Wanli for thirty years, the same list of Jinshi, and they are elderly people, and they have experienced the ups and downs of officialdom, ups and downs, and now the Ming Dynasty is not prosperous, and traitors are in charge, so naturally there are a lot of complaints to say Seeing Shi Kefa return in such a hurry, both of them were very surprised
Yang Yipeng said angrily: "This Zhang Zhun! How dare I kick you out? ”
Shi Kefa shook his head and said: "No, there is something important to tell you, and the juniors hurriedly rushed back to join the group."
Zhang Zhun's words were relayed immediately
"Bang!"
Someone's teacup breaks
It was Yang Ze, the eunuch of the accompanying army
Come, Yang Ze was dozing off beside him, chatting with Zhang Shenyan and Yang Yipeng, he didn't care much about him, the eunuch of the prison army, in fact, he was an ordinary old man, a good old man Yang Ze entered the palace in the middle of Wanli, and he had worked in the palace for more than 40 years, he was helpless, had no children and no daughters, and he didn't like to take in his son, and he didn't know how to pat the emperor's ass, as a result, people of the same age basically died, and it was his turn to come up
The superintendent of Fengyang Mansion, in fact, is the same as guarding the imperial mausoleum, it is a ghost errand that no one wants to do A large group of imperial relatives in Fengyang Mansion, everyone has a relationship with the emperor and does a good job, no one praises you, you do a bad job, but there is a large group of people who make a small report in the emperor's ear, and there is an Huangjue Temple, and the monks in it are all substitutes for the emperor, and they can often make small reports to the emperor
Even if the eunuch is close to the emperor, he can't kiss him
O the Emperor's own family! A eunuch is here to supervise the army, naturally there is no oil and water, so the shrewd eunuchs are reluctant to come to Fengyang Mansion to supervise the army, so Yang Ze, who has no background, was arrested and appointed as the eunuch of the military supervision army left behind in the central capital
For political and military affairs, Yang Ze doesn't care at all, anyway, he is an old eunuch, and he doesn't know much culture, for the general trend of the world, he needs a detailed explanation from others to understand part of his biggest wish, which is to make a little money, and live this life in peace and stability, because he basically doesn't care about things, and his mouth is very tight, so Zhang Shenyan and Yang Yipeng don't need to avoid taboos
Suddenly hearing that the rebellious army might attack Fengyang Mansion, Yang Ze suddenly did not have the slightest intention of dozing off, even if he didn't understand it, he knew that once something happened to Fengyang Mansion, it would be a big deal Yang Yipeng, the governor of Fengyang, naturally wanted to finish off immediately, he, the eunuch of the prison army, must also be a dead end, for his own one acre and three points of land, because he stayed for a long time, Yang Ze also knew one or two
At present, a large number of rebel troops are gathering in Xingyang, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan, once they go south, kill Fengyang Mansion, with the strength of Fengyang Mansion, they can't stop the current Fengyang Mansion at all, only the central capital is left to guard Zhu Guoxiang and 10,000 Ming Army, the Ming Army is called 10,000, in fact, there are only less than 6,000 once they encounter the rolling rebel army, only the submerged share
"Yang Cao, let's go back to Fengyang to prepare for military affairs," Yang Ze said nervously
"Good! The affairs here are entrusted to you
"Yang Yipeng didn't dare to snub Fengyang Mansion, if something happened, God wouldn't be able to save him
"I will do my best," Zhang Shenyan said slowly
After listening to Zhang Zhun's words, Zhang Shenyan also felt that this matter was too dangerous, and when he hurriedly sent the two away to send off the guests, Zhang Shenyan was still pondering repeatedly, and the more he pondered, the more terrible he felt, in case the rebel army really took Fengyang Mansion from Henan...... It's horrible! If the dragon vein is destroyed, the Ming Dynasty is probably going to be really finished
This Zhang Zhun really knows the subtleties and takes precautions! After all, these civilian officials lacked military experience, thinking that the rebellious army in Henan was surrounded by a large army of officers and soldiers, and at most they scattered and fled, and they didn't expect that the rebellious army might go south to Fengyang Mansion and go straight to the Zhu family's lair! This move, even Hong Chengchou and Zhu Dadian, may not be able to think of it
Yang Yipeng hurriedly led the army to leave, all the Ming troops withdrew from Haizhou City, and restored the daily tranquility of the people of Haizhou, who were even more angry to come without their feet, and to leave without their feet, when Haizhou City was a place? Fortunately, news came, saying that Zhang Zhun's troops were still stationed in the nearby East China Sea, and the people of Haizhou City were relieved
Seeing the figures of Yang Yipeng and Yang Ze leaving in a hurry, Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa looked at each other, wanting to say something, but they didn't say it, and finally they both sighed helplessly This Zhang Zhun is difficult to deal with!
Fortunately, Zhang Zhun was only at ease training on Mount Yuzhou, and his troops were also stationed on Mount Yuzhou, which was in the East China Sea
The jurisdiction of the institute has nothing to do with Haizhou City, Zhang Zhun is making a fuss inside, and no one else can control the only one who can govern Zhang Zhun, only Yang Yipeng, but Yang Yipeng has already left Haizhou City with smoke on his buttocks
However, Zhang Zhun deliberately did not let the two of them live a quiet life, Yang Yipeng only left on the front foot, and Zhang Zhun's envoy over there arrived, it was the barbarian Mo Luo who came to the door of the Zhizhou Yamen, tore open his loud voice, and shouted directly inside: "Lord Zhang, Lord Shi, my family is invited"
When Zhang Zhun sent a savage like Mo Luo as a messenger, Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa couldn't cry and laugh at this Zhang Zhun to hold a grudge! Didn't you say I was a martial artist behind your back? Good! I'll send you a real martial artist! Fortunately, the two of them didn't care about these details at all, and the two of them were also curious, and they didn't know what Zhang Zhun was doing, so they decided to go to Yuzhou Mountain to see what was going on
Under the leadership of Mo Luo, Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa boarded the ship and came to the top of Yuzhou Mountain, Zhang Zhun was at the position of the port, at the beginning, the two thought that Zhang Zhun knew some etiquette, and came to the dock to greet him, only to find out later that it was not by Zhang Zhun's side, and there were many other people who were busy, no matter how they looked at it, it didn't seem to have anything to do with welcoming themselves
Shi Kefa said bluntly: "Zhang Zhun, what are you going to do?" ”
Zhang Zhun said eloquently: "Please two of you to watch the play"
He pointed to the inside of the harbor and said nothing
The two looked along Zhang Zhun's finger and saw that there were many people running back and forth inside the port
At first, neither of them felt anything, but, slowly, the faces of the two became solemn, it turned out that the one running along the beach in the port was the first test of the military household who was going to join the army, that is, the endurance standard test, which was naturally a long-distance run
After three days of preparation, the military households naturally took out the strength to participate, and no one wanted to be brushed off in the first round! Therefore, even the weakest people are desperately running forward on the beach, but they are not so cool on the hard ground, everyone can still run at the beginning, but after five kilometers, most of the military households can no longer support it, and some people fall
Shi Kefa said in surprise: "They ...... Are they all military households of the firm? ”
Zhang Zhun said lightly: "If it's fake, it's like a fake."
Shi Kefa stopped talking
He knew that Zhang Zhun didn't need to lie to him, since he said that these are all military households, then he must be military households, looking at those military households who are running tenaciously, even if they fall, they are not willing to give up, get up and continue to run, Shi Kefa's heart is shocked, it is getting more and more powerful, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Shi Kefa would not believe that the military households in the East China Sea would be so active in training
What is the guard soldier like, of course he is clearly in charge of the money and food of the household department, what he hates the most is that these guard soldiers can't fight, but they have to spend a lot of money and food, because the number of guard soldiers is too much, and the money and food owed by the imperial court to the guard soldiers has reached an astronomical amount
Shi Kefazen
After a rough calculation, to clear all the debts, at least more than 9 million taels of silver, more than 50 million stone of grain, with the current imperial court income, I am afraid that in another hundred years, or even hundreds of years, it will be impossible to clean up, in fact, as time goes by, this number will only get bigger and bigger, and will never get smaller
Obviously, the East China Sea is also in arrears of money and grain, there is no money and food, and the military households naturally have no heart to train, no heart to train, and naturally no combat effectiveness, this is a dead circle, and the dead circle that cannot be solved at all, even capable ministers like Zhang Juzheng cannot completely solve the problem of the guard, and the later ministers are even less capable
If they were all so actively trained, what kind of civil unrest in Jianlu, Dongyu, Mongolia, and Shaanxi would have been destroyed for a long time, and where would it be their turn to make waves?
It is precisely because the millions of guards of the Ming Dynasty were cowardly and incompetent, consumed money and food in vain, and could not afford combat missions, that the imperial court had to recruit additional soldiers Now, the troops that the Ming army can fight are all soldiers on the nine sides of the army, and they are gradually replaced by soldiers As for the guards, the court has forgotten them
Zhang Shenyan looked at the military households in the test with interest, and said thoughtfully: "Yulin, what method did you use?" Can they make their training so positive? ”
Zhang Zhun said lightly: "Nothing else, just four words"
Zhang Shenyan was solemn
Said: "Please speak"
Zhang Zhun said casually: "Live better"
Zhang Shenyan fell into deep thought
Shi Kefa frowned and said, "Please advise"
Zhang Zhun said casually: "It's very simple! Give them the fields, give them the guarantee of survival! Distribute money and food on time, reward and punish inventions, survival of the fittest! ”
Shi Kefa said suspiciously: "It's so simple? ”
Zhang Zhun said affirmatively: "It's that simple"
Zhang Shenyan just said: "It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do at all!" ”
Zhang Zhun said lightly: "I'm just a rough person, and others are afraid of me, so it's relatively easy for me to do."
Zhang Shenyan shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Zhang Zhun's statement, however, he seemed to be thinking about something, and did not continue to speak, so the three of them continued to watch the test, and after the test of long-distance running, a group of people were eliminated, followed by a swimming test, and then a group of people were eliminated, and then a group of people were eliminated for each of the tests such as climbing, weightlifting, and diving
After a whole day of testing, the five hundred best military households who passed the test were finally selected, and the military households who passed the test were naturally happy, because the four big boxes finally appeared again, and the boxes were opened, and there were indeed silver ingots in Baihuahua, and everyone got two silver ingots, a total of ten taels of silver, and then, Zhang Zhun shook hands with them one by one and encouraged them to work hard
Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa's faces became more and more cold, and they looked at all Zhang Zhun's actions, but they always were
Without saying a word, Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa returned to Haizhou City in the evening, and they couldn't help but write hard, as for what the two wrote, Zhang Zhun naturally didn't know
After recruiting 500 military households to join the Huben Navy, the formal training was immediately launched, the navy repaired the original wharf, used a pirate ship, and repeatedly carried out training, every time they returned from Fushan City, they brought a large amount of cement, used to build the equipment and facilities of the wharf, at the same time, because there are a large number of stones on the top of Yuzhou Mountain, which are transported to Fushan City from here, but the transportation cost is lower than that from Laoshan Therefore, when the ships leave Yuzhou Mountain and go to Mawan for training, they are full of stones, so the route of killing three birds with one stone, It's officially opened
At the beginning of the first month, there was information that came to him, but it was Emperor Chongzhen who issued an edict asking Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, to immediately lead the army to Henan and cooperate with Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, to suppress the rebel army At the same time, the rebel army in Henan gathered in Xingyang, Henan on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to discuss how to counterattack the encirclement of the official army
At this big gathering, Li Zicheng put forward the strategy of "dividing the troops and determining the direction", that is, to attack separately, and the meaning of each breakthrough is to use the subordinates of Ge Liyan and Zuo Jinwang to confront the officers and soldiers from the direction of Sichuan and Huguang; with the king of Hengtian and the two divisions of 100,000 to fight against the officers and soldiers from Shaanxi; With Luo Rucai and Guotianxing, the two divisions are guarding the river; With Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng and other departments through the East; With the old return and the nine dragons, the two departments responded to each other, and where reinforcements were needed, they would go
Subsequently, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zi
Cheng led the rebel army of his headquarters, swarming south, and rushed to Fengyang Mansion with rolling waves Yang Yipeng flew to Nanjing and Beijing while organizing defense, and at the same time flew to the provinces, asking them to immediately mobilize soldiers to help defend Fengyang Mansion
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Zhun received an urgent order from the Shandong Metropolitan Division, asking him to lead his army to Fengyang Mansion
It was also on this day that Li Zicheng's envoy came to Yuzhou Mountain
