Chapter 228: Fu Zonglong enters Sichuan

"Yes. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Fu Zonglong. Yang Sichang nodded solemnly.

Zhu Youzhen knew about Fu Zonglong's talents, and thinking of his exploits in quelling the chaos in Guizhou and stabilizing Shu, Zhu Youzhen had to admit that Fu Zonglong was a suitable candidate to replace Wang Weizhang as governor of Sichuan.

"Alas, if it is Fu Zonglong who cares Shu, the thief is safe." Zhu Youzhen sighed.

After pacing in the house for a while, Zhu Youzhen said loudly: "Spread the decree, Fu Zonglong is the governor of Sichuan." There must be no mistake in rushing from Yunnan to Sichuan to take up his post on the same day. Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, quickly led the troops into Sichuan to assist in the suppression. ”

Fu Zonglong, the word Zhonglun, is a native of Kunming, Yunnan. Wanli thirty-eight years of Jinshi. At first, he was awarded Tongliang County, and later transferred to Ba County, and on the way to Ba County, he was reappointed as the head of the household department. A few years later, he was awarded the imperial history. This man has courage and knowledge. Because of his strong personality and too straightforward speech, he was not popular in the court, and he was robbed of office for small reasons. I've been at home for years.

Fu Zonglong is the founder of the Ming Dynasty, a descendant of the famous general Fu Youde in the early Ming Dynasty, and his ancestors entered Yunnan with Youde. In the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), Guizhou Shuixi Tusi An Bangyan rebelled and attacked Guizhou, Fu Zonglong wrote to the emperor, and gave his own military plan to quell the rebellion, and applied to lead troops to quell the rebellion.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Fu Zonglong was appointed as the governor and supervisor of Guizhou, and transferred 5,000 elite Yunnan troops from Yunnan to Guiyang City. In terms of military strategy, he put forward the "Tun Shou Policy", and in the governance of the southwest, he proposed new administrative and personnel settings, which were approved and implemented by the emperor. The rebellion was put down in the sixth year of the Apocalypse. Fu Zonglong has made a lot of contributions.

In the third year of Chongzhen (1631), Fu Zonglong was appointed as the imperial history of the right capital and the governor of Shuntian. Later, the right attendant of the military department and the imperial history of the capital, the governor of Ji, Liao, and Baoding military affairs.

I've been at home for several years. Fu Zonglong's daily work is to grow vegetables, write, read, and live a leisurely and free life on the surface, but in the face of the crisis of the Ming Dynasty's internal and external troubles, he is worried, and often looks north and sighs.

At noon that day, Fu Zonglong was writing in the study, and a big "danger" had been written on the table. ”

"Huh? Is it, quick, hurry up and take out my official uniform, I'm going to take the order. He threw down his pen and said excitedly.

Fu An took out the neatly folded official uniforms from the camphor wood box, Fu Zonglong changed into the official uniforms a few times, and was about to walk out of the study, when Mrs. Miao Shufeng walked out, stopped him, and asked, "Why are you going?" ”

"Of course, wearing official clothes is to receive the decree, don't you know that the holy decree has arrived?" Fu Zonglong said unhappily.

Miao Shufeng is a few years younger than Fu Zonglong, fifty years old this year, she said with a calm face: "Of course I know, it is precisely because I know that there is a holy decree that I came to stop you." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Fu Zonglong asked with a cold face.

Looking at him, Miao Shufeng said: "Master, think about the past few decades, from the first year of the Apocalypse to the three years of Chongzhen, how many practical things you have done for his Zhu family, but later he was robbed of office, so that your talent has nowhere to display at home, I can see through, now this emperor is mean and unkind, suspicious of ministers, and has no longevity in employing people, use it today, tomorrow, you are still good at home for such an emperor." ”

"Nonsense, thunder, rain and dew, all are the grace of heaven, the minister does not say anything, I am only in my fifties, am I just idle at home? Can you bear to sit back and watch thousands of people being slaughtered and mutilated by bandits and tartars? Fu Zonglong reprimanded angrily.

Miao Shufeng knew that he was an upright person, and he pretended to be Ming at any time in his heart, so if he didn't go out to do things, I was afraid it would be difficult to do it, after thinking about it, she said: "Master, the concubine is for you, for our Fu family, why don't you appreciate it?" ”

"Madam, I know your kindness, I, Fu Zonglong, am not stupid, the current emperor is indeed not very good, but we are the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and my Fu family is the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, do you want to see the ancestors who fought hard to sink the country? Madam, although my Fu Zonglong has been idle in the past few years, but looking at the increasingly erosive situation in the Ming Dynasty, I am really worried, I just hate that I have no chance to serve the imperial court, and now the opportunity has finally come, you say, will I not go? ”

Listening to what he said, Miao Shufeng looked at him carefully, and silently moved out of the way with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Fu Zonglong made a long gesture and took Fu An to the front flower hall to receive the order.

After receiving the order and sending off the Qin Cha, Fu Zonglong returned to the backyard and began to pack up.

"This is leaving?" Miao Shufeng asked, followed by her two sons, Fu Yinsun and Fu Changming.

"Hmm. The military situation is urgent, Li Zicheng's Liukou army has entered Sichuan, has captured more than 30 prefectures and counties in Sichuan, and is now about to encircle the army, His Majesty asked me to leave immediately, rush from Yunnan to Sichuan to replace Wang Weizhang as the governor of Sichuan, and drive the Liukou out of Sichuan. Fu Zonglong said as he packed his bags.

Miao Shufeng and her son came over to help Fu Zonglong pack up.

"Father, you need someone to take care of you, I'll follow you to CD." The eldest son, Fu Changming, said.

Fu Zonglong refused and said, "No, you should stay at home with your brother and serve your mother, her health is not good." ”

"Zonglong, let Changming go with you, so I can rest assured." Miao Shufeng said softly

After looking at his wife and then at his son, after thinking about it for a while, Fu Zonglong said: "Okay, that's okay, you haven't been out yet, go out with me to have a look, and it will be beneficial for you in the future." ”

packed up, and the next day, Fu Zonglong, his son Fu Changming, and more than a dozen family guards got into a carriage and headed for Sichuan.

After more than 10 days of travel, Zhao Guohua and others returned to Macheng County with ten wagons of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

"The Governor is back, the Governor is back." The soldiers who were training ten miles away from Macheng saw Zhao Guohua and others and more than a dozen carriages, and shouted with joy.

It has been a month or two since he left Macheng, and now he sees this familiar black and blue military uniform, looking at these vigorous soldiers, Zhao Guohua is also very happy, he waved his hand to greet everyone, he said loudly: "Brothers, soldiers, I, Zhao Guohua, is back, and we can train together and eat together in the future......

"Dudu, you're finally back." As he spoke, Cheng Chong took the lead and respectfully raised his hand to Zhao Guohua, Wang Hu, Chen Dashan, He Yilong, Liu Xiyao and others also raised their hands respectfully.

After raising his hand and saluting everyone, Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "Cheng Chong, how is the team's training?" I said I was going to be assessed. If I am not satisfied, I will remove you from the position of captain and let Huang Deguan, the deputy captain, be the captain of the first team. ”

"Dudu, you can rest assured, since you have something to leave Macheng, I remember your instructions, in addition to having a corps take turns to defend the city every day, every day at dawn with the other three corps in the field training, in the afternoon standing in a military posture, engaged in confrontation training, after this period of training, the physical strength of the four corps is much better than before, and the military posture is much more neat, so far, there are not many soldiers who can't distinguish between left and right. If you don't believe me, you can ask these brothers who are present. Speaking of this, Cheng Chong pointed to Wang Hu, Chen Dashan, He Yilong, Liu Xiyao and other officers beside him.

Liu Xiyao said with a smile: "What Captain Cheng said is indeed the truth, but training like this is too much food. I'm worried that if this continues, our food will be tight. ”

"Strong soldiers are all trained, and hard training can produce combat effectiveness. You must not reduce the intensity of your training, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime. I'll figure out how to deal with food, and I will never let the soldiers go hungry. Zhao Guohua said.

Cheng Chong said: "Dudu, with your words, I have no scruples, from tomorrow, I will increase the intensity of training, and ensure that those rabbit cubs will cry wolf howl." ”

Zhao Guohua admonished: "Cheng Chong, it's right to increase the intensity of training, but I don't want to train for human life." ”

"Governor. I'll take notice. Cheng Chong said.

Looking at the bulging bags on these ten carriages, Wang Hu asked curiously: "Governor, what are these carriages pulling?" Is it grain? ”

"It's grain, but it's not food to eat, it's food." Zhao Guohua said.

Wang Hu listened and said: "Dudu, there are so many kinds of grain, how much land is needed to plant, I'm afraid the land in Jin, Ma, and Shang counties is enough."

"Almost." Zhao Guohua said.

At this time, Liu Xiyao opened his mouth and said: "Governor, a lot of land in Jin, Ma, and Shang counties is very barren and not suitable for growing grain, so I think I have to go to other counties to think of a way." ”

"It doesn't matter. These grains can be grown in any place where grass grows, regardless of the soil, and the yield is not low. Zhao Guohua said with a smile.

"Oh? What kind of grain seed is this? Liu Xiyao asked curiously.
