Chapter 179: The crowd is angry, and the blood recommends the imperial court
"Fu, must be appeased, if it goes on like this, there is no need for the thief army to fight, we can't get enough food, sooner or later the camp will mutiny itself, those Qiu Ba, only recognize the silver and don't recognize people, if the food is cut off, it will be terrible. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After a period of silence, a military general suddenly got up and roared hard, everyone looked at it, it was the humble general Li Chunfang, his department fought with the thief army before, each with a victory or defeat, but the record is not called the imperial court's commendation, and its damage compensation silver, but also a non-give, now he is driven by Zhang Zongheng's mind, and simply said everything in his heart.
Anyway, the court does not pay food, and his department can't hold on, once the mutiny is paid, the court always has to find a head to appease the army, and the court practice is to ask the military general to ask for the crime to calm the anger of the people.
"Yes, Lord Governor, we have all come to this point now, if the imperial court does not agree to raise money and food and supplement the shortage of salaries in various ministries, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold on to it." With such a leader, everyone was immediately indignant, and they began to make noise one by one.
Zhang Daojun, the soldier of the criminal Yanmen, was even more blunt, "If it is according to my thoughts, Governor, let's simply write a joint letter, so that the court knows our difficulties, we are really forced to a desperate situation, either agree to what the thieves say, or supplement us with sufficient food and salary, just call the three armies to take their lives, and be sure to calm down the thieves." ”
"That is, if you don't give food, how can you use your life?!"
"Your Excellency the Governor, please make a decision, let's play the court together, and pray for the generals to be given a way to live?!"
In this way, Zhang Zongheng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect such an ending, but asked the generals to agitate together, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and he played it jointly, what happened must be extraordinary, if the court is held accountable, he must be the first to bear the brunt, and the lightest is also a royal majesty who is not strict, and it is a loss of royal grace.
was hesitating, suddenly saw his own staff come forward, and said in a low voice, "Dong Weng, now in a dilemma, but retreat must be called majestic sweeping, from now on the towns of the arrogant soldiers will no longer be unified, and it is difficult to pacify the Jindi, and advance, one to maintain authority, and the law does not blame the public, if the court punishes Dong Weng today, how can he make the ministers of the various feudal territories loyal to their duties?!" ”
Just hearing this, Zhang Zongheng was like nectar in his heart, and he was enlightened, and suddenly made a decision, so much so that others were surprised, and the governor who must think about things on weekdays and was willing to make a decision for a long time, why is he so decisive today.
I saw him get up with a bang, and he didn't care about the official authority that he must have been careful about in the past, strode out of his seat directly, took a blank notebook, spread it out in front of everyone, and under the gaze of an almost frightened eye, he resolutely bit his index finger, and actually wrote it in blood, writing on the notebook.
But after a while, I saw him hand the notebook under the first seat on the left, and in front of You Shilu, the kneeling chief military officer of Shanxi, he didn't speak, just looked at him fixedly, and went back to his seat by himself.
You Shilu forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart at this moment, only roughly swept the manuscript written in blood, and suddenly looked at the blood-stamped document on it in shock, and suddenly it was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and he was bored for a while, before he looked up and returned to his seat with disbelief eyes, as if nothing had happened, just Zhang Zongheng with a peaceful face.
He has completely understood, what is the determination of this governor, I am afraid that he is fighting with his own life now, if he were replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he would have already removed his own involvement, and sought relations between the DPRK and China to get rid of the current predicament.
But after all, Zhang Zongheng's conscience has not been extinguished, and he still has a bit of the ethics of a scholar in his heart, and he will never be able to do such a shameless act, and the current situation will not allow him to retreat, once this mess is taken over by outsiders, if he is lucky enough to quell the thief chaos, he will inevitably lose his reputation, and he will have to mention it in the history books in the future, and call him a traitor who misled the country.
But if it is pacified and there is no thief chaos, then all the sins are bound to be pushed on him, and the current governor of the three sides, Yang He, is about to be added to the prisoner, he has no relationship with Yang, if he is in prison, I am afraid that the court that urgently needs to take the blame will be directly executed, and it is impossible, so there is no way to retreat, simply and tell the plate, and let the court princes make their own decisions.
As for himself, he has given up his name before and after, and the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the situation.
"Colleagues, when Shanxi Town survived, it was on you, the governor was one for the country, loyal, and there were many cares for you in the past, and today Shanxi Town is one survival, no one can stay out of the matter, why not join the blood letter to play the court, so that we can understand the painstaking efforts of our waiting! I, especially someone, would like to follow the Governor to recommend the court with blood and wake up the princes of the court! ”
You Shilu didn't delay for long, thinking about it, it's nothing more than accountability, the sky is falling, naturally there is a tall man on top, since Zhang Zongheng has been released, a general soldier who has already asked for resignation from illness, how far can he be called accountable?
So, in the same way, he took out the dagger he carried with him, made a cut on his index finger, and began to write his name with all his might, and when he was done, he handed it to a person behind him.
At this moment, in the entire mansion, there was a sudden gasp and cold air, but the generals did not dare to disobey, if Zhang Zongheng called for the dismissal of the official, these people would be nothing more than asking for the crime and filling the army to defend the border, but if the imperial court was lucky enough to recognize the situation of the military officials in Shanxi Town, they would be extrajudicial and meritorious, and they would also allocate food and salary, and there would be no way to live.
In addition, with the governor and the general soldiers personally taking the lead, they did not dare to slack off, and simply began to write in their own blood one by one......
Zhang Zongheng took the bloody notebook in his hand, raised it, and yelled at the civil and military forces below, "Are you all there?!" ”
"Returning to the governor, above the thirty-two garrisons, all the generals, deputy generals and soldiers have been signed and prepared, and the civil and military forces are single-minded, and they are recommended to the imperial court!" You Shilu was the first to draw in blood, and he was also the last to put away the notebook and hand it over, so he naturally knew how many people had signed it, and at this moment, regardless of his body, he insisted on coming out and replied loudly.
"Ahem." Just screaming hard, inevitably involving the disease, made him cough rapidly, only that he could barely catch his breath, and several generals behind him hurriedly came up to help him, told him to sit on the chair, and comforted him for a while before he relieved himself.
Zhang Zongheng was unmoved, only took the notebook, called a team of guards, and said in a deep voice, "To change horses and not people, eight hundred miles of urgency, day and night, be sure to send it to the capital, face in front of the Holy Son of Heaven." ”
"Whoa!" The letter that the guard followed was almost all the hope of the whole of Shanxi, as if he had taken Mount Tai, and he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe...... (To be continued.) )
