Chapter 738 (II)

After returning to Hangzhou. The silence was reported in detail......

It turned out that after Zhang Zhen arrived in office, he was eager to make meritorious contributions, and did not adopt Yu Dayou's suggestion of 'planning and then deciding, steady and steady', and led the army straight into the mountainous areas of southern Jiangnan, and went straight to Longnan County, Lai Qinggui's old nest, with a very clear intention, that is, to capture the thief and capture the king, and it was decided in a battle.

At first, it went well, and by the time the Ming army reached the city of Longnan, the rebels had all withdrawn and surrendered the county seat. But everyone knows that in southern Jiangnan, the county seat is not as good as the surrounding houses and villages of those big clans, so Zhang Zhen ordered people to go to Hangzhou to report the good news, and on the other hand, led the army into the mountains to find the main force of the rebels.

After leaving the avenue and entering the mountains, Zhang Zhen found that the situation was much worse than he had imagined, not only was the mountain road rugged and difficult to navigate, but also the hostility of the local clan forces. Moreover. It will also be attacked and harassed by some mountain people who have come and gone without a trace, although the losses caused are not large, but they force the Ming army to be vigilant at all times, and they will not be able to live in peace day and night.

To make matters worse, for a whole month in the mountains, I couldn't find where the bandits were. At that time, it was the continuous rainy season, the temperature in the mountains was very low, although it had entered April, the night was very cold, the Ming army sleeping in the mountains and wilderness, had to endure the dampness and cold, many soldiers were infected with dysentery and malaria, coupled with the bite of poisonous insects, dozens of soldiers lost their lives every day.

Seeing that the morale was declining day by day, Zhang Zhen was anxious, completely lost his mind, and finally ignored the dissuasion, led the army to forcibly attack Lai Qinggui's old nest Xiali Fort, but the fortress was called the first fort in Longnan, the largest, strongest and most difficult to attack, the Ming army attacked for two months, and did not succeed, but lost the army, very embarrassed.

The fatal blow had struck six days earlier -- in order to boost morale, Zhang Zhen resolutely braved the arrows and stones to supervise the battle on the front line, which really had a certain motivating effect. At one point, the Ming army attacked the city. But at this time, an accident happened, a falling rock hit the Governor Zhang who was heavily protected, Zhang Zhen fainted on the spot, and the situation was immediately reversed.

The main general was seriously injured, his morale was extremely low, and he could no longer fight, so Liu Xian had no choice but to lead the army back to Longnan County, licking his wounds while facing Hangzhou.

"Liu Xian mistook me!" Although he had been mentally prepared, when the news was implemented, he was still so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

"My lord is angry," when Shen Mo was gone, Lu Bo, who was in charge of military affairs, said in a low voice: "The tens of thousands of troops in Longnan County are leaderless, we have to quickly come up with a way." ”

"Is there a reply from Beijing?". Although he knew that it couldn't be so fast, Shen Mo still asked.

"I still haven't reported to Beijing, just waiting for you to come back and make a decision." Lu Bo whispered.

"Can this be hidden?" Shen Mo waved his hand impatiently and said, "Hurry up and report to the capital, die early and live early." ”

"Yes......" Lu Bo said respectfully.

"Also," Shen Mo said in a slow tone: "This official will personally go to the front line in Jiangxi to supervise the battle, and the military affairs of Zhejiang will trouble Lu Zongrong." ”

"My lord......" Lu Bo said in surprise: "You want to move to Jiangxi?" ”

"yes." Shen nodded silently and said, "If you don't see it in person, you can't believe it." The official didn't want to mistake Ma Jian anymore. ”

When Zhang Zhen was appointed, Shen Mo also asked Lu Bo, and at this moment, listening to the adult's dissatisfaction, Lu Bo wiped his sweat and said in a low voice: "It's the last general who harmed the adult." ”

"It's not a matter of ***." Shen Mo said lightly: "Since it is a candidate determined by this official, it is naturally the official who is fully responsible." Said with a smile: "Recently, I realized that the suppression of the rebellion in southern Gan is not just as simple as fighting, I am still closer, and I can adapt to the situation." ”

Knowing that he had made up his mind, Lu Bo straightened his chest and said, "Obey!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the order of Lord Liu, the whole family began to prepare to move, but fortunately, Zheng Ruozeng was familiar with this set of light cars, and there was no need to worry about it silently, so that he still had time to go to the dock to meet the guests from Beijing.

"Haha...... Yu Chen! Wenhe! You couldn't have come at a better time! Shen Mo stretched out his arms and slapped the two long-lost companions vigorously.

Tao Dalin and Sun Ling also slapped Shen Mo affectionately, and pretended to say: "Lord Jingluo has an order, and Fu'an dares to be lazy?" ”

"It's good to know...... Shen Mo laughed loudly, it is really the most satisfying thing to have brothers come thousands of miles to help when times are difficult.

"Let others see Master Jinglu like this," Sun Ling pretended to laugh and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to drop my jaw in shock." ”

"you." Shen Mo laughed and scolded, took the arms of the two and said, "Let's go, let's get in the car first." ”

This two-horse carriage was left by Hu Zongxian, although Shen Mo has removed many luxurious arrangements, but it is still elegant and extraordinary, which makes Sun Tao and the others who sat in the car a good envy, of course, there are more jokes.

Shen Mo smiled: "It's really wronged, this car is the first time I've taken it." If it weren't for picking you both up, I'd still be squatting in Curry. ”

"I said how there was still ash under the window edge." Tao Dalin shook his hand and showed the gray mark on his finger.

The three of them talked and laughed casually, and before they knew it, they arrived at the Jingluo Mansion, and as soon as they got out of the carriage, Tao Dalin and Sun Ling saw the people who were busy coming in and out, as if they were packing up, and asked Shen Mo: "You want to go?" ”

"Yes," Shen Mo nodded and said, "Even if it's time for you to come, you'll have to go to Jiangxi to find me a day later." ”

"You're going to Jiangxi?" The two of them are not very familiar with the situation.

"yes." Shen Mo briefly introduced the situation to them, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go in and sit." He took the two of them into the main hall, and after watching the tea, he seized the time to introduce them to the situation in the southeast.

The two of them knew that Shen Mo would not be happy if he called them over, so they both smiled generously and said, "You can assign any tasks." ”

"You just came, and you don't touch the situation," returned to Jingluo Mansion, silently restrained a lot, and smiled: "First give you a senator to hang up first, follow and touch the situation, and when you have an understanding, let's talk about the specific duties." ”

"Okay." Tao Dalin agreed. Sun Ling was a little disappointed at first, but after thinking about it, he has been idle in Tsinghua since he became a leader. This is the first time to go out of Beijing, of course, you should be cautious. He smiled and said, "It's all up to you." ”

"Okay." Shen Mo clapped his hands and smiled: "I also invited important people from the southeast, I will introduce you later, and we will work together in the future." ”

When the two first arrived in your land, they were full of ambition, and of course they agreed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a while, all the southeastern officials in Hangzhou arrived, and silently introduced the two sides. Not surprisingly, Sun Tao and the others received a warm welcome...... Even if the two of them are not good friends of Lord Jinglu, just with the aura of Hanlin on their bodies, they will make those officials with a much higher rank. Enthusiastic flattery.

Sun Ling and Tao Dalin sat on a cold bench in the capital for a long time, how could they have enjoyed such treatment, but their reactions were different, the former was a little cramped, but the latter was calm and coping, this is the difference between the children of commoners and the children of families......

However, because Lord Jinglu was about to set off, the banquet was dispersed before the time, and seeing that the two of them were also tired, Shen Mo asked them to take them to their lodging to rest, which would also be their residence for a period of time in the future.

When he returned to the inner courtyard, he saw Wang Yin standing under the eaves with two scribes. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wang Yin looked up and saw Shen Mo, so he smiled at the two of them: "Juzhang, Junfang, Lord Shen is here." ”

The two saluted Shen Mo together, and Shen Mo hurriedly excused himself and asked Wang Yin, "Who are these two?" ”

"Shen Mingchen, Yu Yin." Wang Yin is still concise and to the point, and even the introduction is so simple.

"Oh, it turned out to be two masters...... "Shen Mo said happily: "I said that why can't this magpie stop calling today, it turns out to be a good thing one after another." ”

Shen Mingchen looked like he was in his thirties, but he himself said that he was almost forty years old. Because he was born white and clean, his figure is well maintained, so he looks younger, he wears a royal blue placket, a black ** scarf, and blue steps under his feet.

Yu Yin looked older, with deep wrinkles on his face, gray hair, wearing an ordinary Confucian robe, wearing a black Liuhe hat, and looking like a suffering Mr. Dongyan, especially standing between Wang Yin and Shen Mingchen, who were ethereal and dusty, he looked even more stumbling. In fact, he is still one year younger than Shen Mingchen......

But silence doesn't judge people by their appearance. He knew that since this Yu Yin could stand side by side with these two people, he must have something extraordinary.

Hurriedly invited the two of them and Wang Yin into the house, seeing that they all had fine beads of sweat on their faces, Shen Mo asked the small kitchen to cut chilled cantaloupe and send it up, and said to Shen Mingchen affectionately: "Speaking of which, I still have to call you brother." Shen Mingchen's father and Master Shen confessed, and Shen Mo invited him through this relationship.

Shen Mingchen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't dare to take it seriously, the elders talk about them, we can't mess with our dignity." Although the words were very solid, they came out of his mouth, and they had some taste of banter.

"As for us, you're older than me." Shen Mo smiled gently: "There are no adults or adults at home, we are all brothers." ”

"Hehe...... Shen Mingchen smiled happily: "This is what you said, I, the most annoying thing is those rules, if I am presumptuous in the future, please look at it for today's sake, and be lenient." "Okay, as soon as you come up, you will first lay the groundwork for future trouble. Looking at the smile in Wang Yin's eyes, Shen Mo estimated that he would not be able to live today.

Of course, he still agreed, turned to Yu Yin and said, "It's really good that Mr. Junfang can come together." "Actually, he didn't know what was good.

Yu Yin was quite self-aware, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "When the adults say this, we can't wait to drill into it...... In fact, Jia Ze saw that I was messing up miserably, so he dragged me to join the adult. ”

Shen Mo admired his honesty very much, and to be honest, as soon as he saw him like this, he remembered his father back then, and said more and more pleasantly: "The dragon is sleepy, but the time has not yet come, and I will see it when the wind and clouds meet." ”

His words made Yu Yin very useful, although he refused to agree, he could clearly see the gratitude on his face. Then he heard Shen Mingchen say: "My lord, it's not like he said, I invited Junfang to come with him, just because he is extraordinary, if you are not satisfied with each other, just break up and leave me alone." ”

Shen Mo smiled and said: "Let Brother Juzhang say this, I really have to ask Mr. Junfang's director." "Zheng Ruozeng is well-read and far-sighted, and can always give you the most detailed and comprehensive reference; And Wang Yin is calm and resolute, good at planning, and cooperates with Zheng Ruozeng; As for Shen Mingchen, he seems to be uninhibited, but in fact he is imaginative, changes in the face of the enemy, and has repeatedly come up with strange strategies, which can be described as the finishing touch...... This is all a reputation created in the Anti-Japanese War, and it cannot be faked at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's just that I don't know how this Yu Yin can be ranked alongside the three major strategists?

Yu Yin thought for a long time before he said slowly: "There are no advantages in Xia, at best, I am just a strict mouth and a little timid." ”

His words made the maid who served the tea couldn't help but sneer and chuckle, and said in his heart that timidity is also an advantage? I should add a 'thicker dough'......

Shen Mo frowned slightly, so frightened that the maid hurriedly crawled to the ground, Shen Mingchen said coldly: "Why did you become so casual, did you feel that Lord Jingluo was benevolent, so he forgot the rules?" ”

The maid was so frightened that she quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, as if she still knew Shen Mingchen.

Shen Mingchen said to Shen Mo: "My lord, this maid and the housekeeper should be expelled from the mansion." ”

"This ......" Shen Mo hesitated a little, it didn't hurt to drive away a maid, but he felt that there was no one around him, and he had just called Shen An from Shen Jing, how could he treat people as balls and kick them around?

"Your Excellency is kind." Seeing that he refused to let go, Shen Mingchen thought that he didn't want to destroy the image of benevolence and righteousness, so he admonished in a deep voice: "The ancient gentleman must first cultivate himself and govern his family, and then he can govern the country and level the world. And how can we talk about revitalization? It can be seen that he fell out with Hu Zongxian early, not without reason, at least he had to stand his aggressiveness before he could urinate with him in a pot.

Shen Mo was said to be sweating on his forehead, saying that he has grown so big, he has always spent it in praise, except for the teacher Shen Lian, it is this Shen Mingchen, and Zheng Ruozeng dared to count himself, this taste...... It's really uncomfortable! However, Shen Mo still knows the ancient adage that 'good medicine is bitter and good for disease', he has been an official in two lives, and he knows best that sweet words are the best, but they are all worthless, and even poison that harms people;

Therefore, although he can't 'hear it, he will be happy', but when others point it out, he listens to it with an open mind, and if he changes it, if he doesn't, he encourages it, and it's no problem.

Shen Mingchen is right, he is indeed too lenient to his family, and he always feels that it has nothing to do with political affairs, and it doesn't matter if he is casual; But with this attitude towards his own subordinates, how can he be strict with his subordinates? It's all inevitable.

"I've been taught." Shen Mo got up and hugged his fists and said, "Just listen to Brother Zhang." ”

Shen Mingchen turned sideways and said, "I'm such a straightforward character, adults are not satisfied, just say it." ”

Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "No, there is a sentence Brother Zhang by your side, refreshing your mind and not making mistakes." ”

Only then did Shen Mingchen regain his idle smile and sit down to drink tea quietly.

Shen Mo also sat down, looked at the shrunken maid, and sighed: "Go to the account to pay half a year's salary, go home." "The heart said that Shen An is sorry, you have to accompany Shen Jing again.

The maid who was crying kowtowed and went out, Yu Yin glanced at Shen Mingchen and didn't say anything.

A small episode made Shen Mo forget what he had just said, so he had to restart the conversation and said, "I wonder if Brother Junfang knows anything about military affairs?" ”

"A little bit of it." Yu Yin said slowly: "I don't know what the adults want to ask." He spoke very slowly, as if he had to think through every word before he dared to say it.

"What a big breath...... "Shen Moxin said, suddenly his mind flashed, remembering this Yu Yin's self-evaluation 'strict mouth, timid', it seems that Emperor Wei Wu's evaluation of his number one strategist Xun You, can also find similar sentences, of course, people say more elegantly, called 'deep and wise defense', 'outer cowardice and inner bravery', if it is self-humble, don't you have to say 'strict and timid'?

Only then did Shen Mo discover the other party's deep pride, and said in his heart that this could really be a super strategist who was 'wise and stupid, although Yan Zi and Ning Wu couldn't get by'? But I couldn't blow it out, so I had to ask carefully, so I said: "Let's talk about how the three nests in Gannan are pacified." ”

Yu Yin thought for a while, until Shen Mo was anxious for him and wanted to change the question, he said slowly: "The three nests are strong, but the next calendar is the leader of Lai Qinggui, and the other 'two nests' are all under his orders...... The students thought that the snake would hit seven inches, capture the thief first, capture the king first, and eradicate the Lai bandits first, while the two bandits Xie Li were frightened and most likely would surrender. ”

"It sounds reasonable, but it seems that Governor Zhang thinks the same way......" Shen Mo reminded Yu Yin.

"Yes......" Yu Yin said in surprise, Shen Mo couldn't help but be disappointed, and said in his heart, is this a master?

Who knew that he said slowly: "Students and adults both read the words of the sage, can we use the failure of students to negate the success of adults?" ”。

partition

Once the structure is set, the acceleration begins...... In addition, Dingnan County was indeed established by Wang Yangming, not Wu Baipeng's handiwork, which I have verified.
