Chapter 143: The Problem of Zuo Bu's Political Envoy Zhang Bingwen

"Don't be impatient, the general army of the three towns of Xuanda, there have been two towns to obey the soft, since Wang Zhong does not pay, then let him go first, and then we will first check the soldiers of Shanxi Town in the name of verifying the military personnel, once the requirements are not met, the adults can take advantage of the situation to remove him from the post of general soldier, and the later general soldier will vigorously rectify the military field of Shanxi Town in order to show goodwill to the adult, so that it is logical to confiscate the military field occupied by Wang Zhong.

After listening to Yang Tinglin's words, Lu Xiangsheng thought carefully for a while, and then said: "What Boxiang said is reasonable, from the army to the locality, it is from easy to difficult, just do what you say." Okay, you've had a busy day, go back and rest. ”

"Your Excellency, let's rest, too. The subordinate took his leave. With that, Yang Tinglin yawned and went back to sleep.

Seeing that Yang Tinglin was gone, Lu Xiangsheng washed his cold face, sat down, and planned for the future.

In the barracks of the guard post in Jinan City, there was a shout of killing, and tens of thousands of people were practicing assassination.

At the suggestion of Zhao Guohua, Zhang Bingwen selected 60,000 people from Jinan's population of 7.8 million and appointed six captains, who took turns to train. In order not to delay everyone's livelihood, Minzhuang has a round every three days, and their weapons are all spears, and every day under the training of the loyal and brave team members is an action, striding straight stab, and five people stab a target at the same time.

After a few days of practice, the people have already stabbed in shape.

Looking at the neat assassination action in the barracks of the guard post in the city, and listening to the sound of the wooden stick stabbing on the wooden pillar "popping", Zhang Bingwen smiled with satisfaction.

"Guohua, this method is good, but the food consumption is too much."

Looking at him, Zhao Guohua was about to speak, when an errand officer hurriedly walked over, bowed down and said, "Lord Qiqi, the hiding place of the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect in Shandong has been clarified, and the prefect invites you to go over and discuss the extermination." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bingwen hurriedly said: "General Zhao, the old man has business to deal with, so he will be out of company." ”

"My lord, just go and get busy, I'm here here." Zhao Guohua said with a smile.

Arching his hand, Zhang Bingwen turned around and hurriedly followed the officer.

After entering the yamen of the political envoy, I saw Dong Qing, the political envoy of the right, Liu Dayong, the prefect of Jinan, Song Xuezhong, the inspector, Liu Heping, and Ni Chong, the capital secretary, and other Jinan military and political dignitaries were all present.

Seeing everyone's anxious and flustered expressions, Zhang Bingwen knew that something big must be about to happen.

"Governor Liu, I heard that the main altar of the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect in Shandong has been investigated?" Zhang Bingwen asked urgently.

Thinking of the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), Xu Hongru, Wang Haoxian, Yu Hongzhi and others launched a rebellion in Shandong, which lasted more than 190 days, covering half of Shandong Province. He absolutely must not let this happen again in Shandong.

Glancing at him, Liu Dayong bowed down and said, "Lord Qiyu, this matter is jointly tried by the lowly and the prosecutor Lord Liu, and the matter is ruthless and complicated. The specific situation will be told to you by Lord Liu. ”

"Here's the thing, the person we caught last time, after we found his residence and threatened his family's lives, he confessed and confessed to the two hiding places of the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect, one is the Black Tiger Village in Taishan, and the other is the Huang Jiaji in Laiwu." Liu Heping said.

Hearing these two place names, Zhang Bingwen frowned and fell silent. These two places are very notorious in Shandong, the Flying Tiger Village of Mount Tai, gathered five or six thousand outlaws, it is said that the horse thieves in Shandong came out of the Black Tiger Village, although the government sent troops to clear it many times, but they were all defeated and returned, and over time, they also closed their eyes. And Huangjiaji is built on the mountain, the terrain is dangerous, you have to go through a steep slope, two big ditches, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are many fierce bandits in it, there are dozens of Jiangyang thieves who escaped from prison, the government has gone to capture it many times, but it is also resisting and not handing over.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Bingwen said: "Since the two hidden remnants of the Wenxiang Sect have been discovered, then we must send troops to exterminate them, otherwise when they become bigger, Shandong will be another war disaster." Ni Dusi, you are the supreme commander of the Shandong garrison, when do you plan to send troops? ”

Ni Pet turned out to be a commander of the Beijing camp, after being transferred from the Beijing division to encircle and suppress the Liukou, he killed one hundred and ten Liukou, which was exaggerated by him to thousands, and after drilling the camp, he was promoted to the Shandong Metropolitan Division.

This person is greedy for life and afraid of death, cowardly as a mouse, in addition to drinking the blood of soldiers and eating empty wages, he is drinking and begging for a little wife.

In addition to the 300 soldiers, the total number of the old, weak, sick and disabled with them did not exceed 3,000. These people have almost no combat power except to scare the people, and such a team wants to be dragged out to Mount Tai to encircle and suppress the Black Tiger Village, which is completely looking for death, but he can't say no.

With a roll of his eyes, he had an excuse, he looked at Zhang Bingwen and said: "Lord Zhang, my lords, this official is the capital of Shandong, and it is my duty to maintain the place and clean up the rebels, but there is a saying: The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and if I want to send troops, will I make up for the food and salary of my 10,000 soldiers, otherwise I am afraid that they will not be willing to go to Mount Tai to suppress bandits." ”

Hearing Ni Pet's words, Zhang Bingwen almost scolded, he hated Ni Pet, obviously there were less than 3,000 people, and now the food and salary have been allocated according to 5,000 people, you are still not satisfied, and you have to add another 5,000 people's salary, it is so shameless and greedy.

Glancing at him coldly, Zhang Bingwen said: "The amount you said is too big, I can't make it up for a while, do you want to allocate half of it first, and then allocate the rest later?" He meant to coax Ni Pet to surround and suppress the bandits first.

"No, there is not enough food and grass, so I can't send troops." Ni Pet refused.

He has made up his mind that he will not send troops no matter what, even if Zhang Bingwen promised to pay the full amount of food and salary, he will also find other excuses not to send troops

"Snap" slapped the table.

Zhang Bingwen stood up, pointed at the angry Ni Pet and said: "Ni Pet, if you don't send troops, this official will join you in conniving at the bandits and causing trouble in Shandong, I see how you deal with yourself." ”

"Didn't I say no? I didn't say, I just asked for food and grass, and you don't allocate food and grass, so how can I send troops. Didn't you send a lot of grain and grass to that group of people in the field? Why don't you go to them and help you out of the bandits? After speaking, Ni Pet ignored everyone in the house and walked out.

Seeing that he was so arrogant and unreasonable, Zhang Bingwen was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded: "Soldier! Soldiers! ”

After Ni Pet left, the rest of the people in the house were all civil officials, who were neither powerless nor knew how to deal with the Black Tiger Village, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Bingwen glanced at the people in the room.

When he saw Liu Dayong, the prefect of Jinan, he couldn't help asking: "Lord Liu, you are the prefect of Jinan, and Tai'an and Laiwu are both under your jurisdiction. ”

He is going to put the burden on Liu Dayong.

Big fish eat small fish, the officials here are bigger than Liu Dayong, he can't push his courage down anymore, so he has no choice but to take it.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Liu Da had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said, "Lord Zhang, the lower officials have an idea that needs you to come forward, as long as you come forward, these remnants of the bandits can be exterminated soon." ”

"Tell me, what's the idea?" Zhang Bingwen said simply.

Liu Zhengming, the procurator of the sentence, also looked at Liu Dayong with great interest, waiting for him to come up with any clever ideas.

After glancing at the two officials, Liu Dayong said, "Lord Zhang, aren't you on good terms with Admiral Zhao of the Loyal and Brave Corps?" Since Ni Pet is reluctant to send troops, why don't you ask the loyal and brave corps to help, with their ability, it is not difficult to exterminate the Black Tiger Village. ”

"This ......," Zhang Bingwen groaned.

Liu Zhengming, the procurator of the sentence, listened to Liu Dayong's idea and nodded again and again.

He smiled happily and said: "Lord Zhang, Governor Liu's idea is good, the Zongyong Corps is still in Jinan, and people can even defeat the Tartars, and it is not a trivial matter to fight the bandits." The total brave brigade will definitely succeed. ”

After listening to the words of the two and thinking about it carefully, Zhang Bingwen couldn't think of a better way, so he said, "Okay, I'll try it with a thick face." With that, I went to find Zhao Guohua.

Zhao Guohua was watching Minzhuang train, and Zhang Bingwen didn't take much effort to find him. invited him to the Yamen of the political envoy, and embarrassedly told him about asking the Loyal and Brave Corps to send troops to help exterminate Black Tiger Village and Huang Jiaji.

After listening carefully to Zhang Bingwen's request, Zhao Guohua didn't ask too much, this is tantamount to revealing others, he understands that it must be the officials and soldiers in Shandong who can't rely on others to ask for a team from other places.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Master Zhang, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, can you tell me about the Wenxiang Sect?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Guohua agreed to send troops to encircle and exterminate the Black Tiger Village and Huangjiaji, Zhang Bingwen was overjoyed, and after thanking him again and again, he introduced: "Wenxiang Sect is also known as the Eastern Mahayana Sect. During the Wanli (1573~1619) period, it was founded by Wang Sen, Shifokou, Luanzhou, Hebei. claimed to have saved a fox, and the fox cut off its tail and gave it away, with a strange fragrance; In order to call on the disciples, many people are attached, so it is called the Wenxiang Sect, and the self-proclaimed Wenxiang Sect is the leader, and the disciples are all over Hebei, Shandong, Jiangxi, Jin, Henan, Qin, Sichuan and other places.

Believe in the Buddha of the Burning Lamp, the Buddha of Shakya, and the Buddha of the Future, and preach the ideas of the end of the three periods of the tribulation and returning to the source. In the forty-first year of Wanli (1613), he was imprisoned for the second time and died in prison. His son Haoxian and his apprentice Xu Hongru continued to preach, and in the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), he organized an uprising. ”

After listening to the general introduction of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, Zhao Guohua thought to himself that this Smelling Fragrance Sect is a cult. This Wang Sen deceived the trust of a large number of people with a ridiculous story that did not exist, which shows his eloquence and activity ability, which also shows the ignorance and difficulty of life of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, he asked curiously, "Who is this Wang Sen?" ”
