Chapter 137: Reluctantly marching to suppress and appease
Just when Li Jing convened the generals under his command to discuss the matter of dealing with the dispatch of troops by the official army, there was also a conspiracy against the thieves in Jinzhong at the Yamen, the governor of Xuanda in Linfen, hundreds of miles away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Your Excellency the Governor, I was sent to Taiyuan yesterday in an expedited manner of 400 miles, and my family's domain has been reported by the imperial court, and I will return to the right government of Shandong in a few days, and the affairs of Shanxi have nothing to do with my family's domain." (The specific time of resignation is unknown, but in October of the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Congzhi was appointed as the political envoy of Shandong Youbu, but he had previously resigned.) )
Wei Bo'an, a staff member of Shanxi's political envoy, was standing in the hall at the moment, quite a little complacent, how smart his own Dong Weng was, seeing that the situation in Shanxi had been eroded so far, he knew that it was hopeless, but fortunately, he withdrew in time, even if the court tracked it down at the moment, it could not be regarded as his own head.
It's a pity that this abacus was played too early, if Li Jing was here, he would definitely mock a few words, don't think that everything is easy to say without Shanxi, and regardless of the collapse of the society and the turmoil in the rivers and mountains, just mention that a few months later, Shandong will be in turmoil, and what about taking office as the governor of Shandong? It's not that you died under fire, so why bother.
"Oh? Since Lord Xu moved to the left, I just said congratulations. "A tall neighbor who was wearing a four-grade cloud goose suit, got up when he heard the words, but he was squeezed by words, and he didn't know how much truth and jealousy.
It is said that the transfer of Shanxi's left-hand political envoy to Shandong's right-hand political envoy is actually a demotion, but at present, Shanxi's situation, I am afraid that there is a way, and they would rather be demoted than stay away from right and wrong, this month alone, there are more than 20 civil and military officials who played prayers for illness, especially the officials who originally belonged to Baode, Qilan, Lu'an, and other state capitals, and up to You Shilu, the chief military officer of Shanxi's town guard, is the most.
There are also those who come out to reconcile in a round, "Master Ma is wrong with this, everyone has their own fate, why force it." ”
"Hmph." The person who spoke was not a bystander, but Ma Shiying, the deputy envoy of Shanxi Yanghe Bingbei Road, was also, and his subordinates were the most sad at the moment, and the soldiers and horses that the governor Zhang Zongheng transferred to the north were the main force of Yang Hewei.
Seeing that the first few people were not compatible, Zhang Zongheng couldn't sit still, and hurriedly came out and said, "Why should Yaocao be angry, now that this is a difficult time, don't mention it." ”
Yaocao is Ma Shiying's word, at this moment he saw the governor speak, and he had to sit back in his place, but he was still angry, nothing more than fate, in the place where he belonged, the thieves broke the county seat, liquidated down, and his own family bore the brunt, and now he relies on Zhang Zongheng.
At this moment, Zhang Zongheng saw that the hall was full of civil and military affairs, and it was difficult to escape the relationship with Jinzhong, so he didn't say much, and said directly, "You and other colleagues, the chaos in Shanxi, at this moment has reached the most critical moment, the Lan soldiers are preparing for the Dao Zhou Lord three times a day, saying that the thief army is attacking urgently, and Qi Lan is in danger, but in the hands of this governor, there are no soldiers and horses to adjust, and it is really a last resort to summon you to come." ”
As soon as these unscrupulous words came out, all the faces of everyone present changed, and the scars of the past few days were always revealed.
But at the moment, no one has a way to solve it, so they have to pin all their hopes on Zhang Zongheng, and Jining is even more desperate, and he said bluntly at this moment, "Lord Taiwan, this erosion has been so far, with our ability, I am no longer competent, and please ask the Taiwan to invite another virtuous." ”
Not to mention the tens of thousands of thieves in Jinzhong, who have repeatedly broken through the pass, they will mention the lost food and salary, once they can't make up for it, I'm afraid they will also fall to the ground.
"It's okay, I've played the court this time, this is my playbook, the princes can jointly play it, if the court is not compassionate, I can only write a letter to resign." Zhang Zongheng didn't have any other expectations at the moment, and glanced at You Shilu, who was half-lying on the seat nearby, with a wry smile on his face, if it weren't for his own greed for power, why would he be helpless now.
I heard another person, "Why did the Taiwan make such a statement, isn't it so poisonous?" I think that the thieves have the intention of recruiting peace, and then persecuted by the army, and it will not take time to be appeased, and then they will only wait for a group of people to return to their hometowns, take down the head, and then persecute the money and food, so that they can have an explanation with the court. ”
Everyone took a look, and immediately had a little disdain, and said who it was, it turned out to be the deputy envoy of Shanxi, Jiao Yuanpu, who patrolled the east of the river, this Jiao Daren, can also be amazing, in the early years, because of offending the eunuch Cui Wensheng, in order to prevent harm, he was afraid of resigning and returning to his hometown.
But what they didn't know was that four years later, the same Lord Jiao, the governor of Datong Mansion, resigned again and returned to his hometown because of the lack of food.
It is said that he is an adjutant of the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, and he supervises the place full-time, but now he is also regarded as a civil and military system, commanding soldiers to fight against thieves, and losing the battle, he has to hide from his colleagues, and now everyone is also in the same boat, not afraid that he will go against the water.
At this time, You Shilu was lying on the chair, taking a few heavy breaths from time to time, and when he heard this, he had to come out and say a few words, "What Jiao Daotai said is very true, the thieves in Jinzhong, the grace of the adults, gave birth to the idea of stopping the sword soldiers, relying on the emperor's grace, the Son of Heaven Shengming, we are waiting for the side to defend the land, we must be loyal to our duties, and the quiet place is, only now Yiyang and Wei quickly go north, and then ask Taiyuan Zhongwei to transfer troops and horses, rush to Qilan, and all under the jurisdiction of Zhou Hongtu Zhou, oppress the thieves first, and then mention the matter of appeasement, how about it?" ”
It was really he who saw the excitement of the crowd, but no one dared to take the responsibility of appeasing, and he was helpless in his heart, and he was seriously ill, so he really couldn't be a director, otherwise he led his own soldiers to level Jinzhong, but unfortunately he couldn't use his body to survive, so he had to struggle on the hospital bed.
Although Ma Shiying does not belong to him, he still comes out at this moment, "Yang Hewei has not been paid full salary for three years, and he is reluctant to go north, I am afraid that the road is far away, and I am resentful, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to take over the battle, and I also ask the Lord of Taiwan to allocate sufficient food and salary first." ”
You Shilu saw Zhang Zongheng looking at himself expectantly, and just said with a wry smile, "The 1,000 stone of grain allocated by the Yamen of the Shanxi Metropolitan Division before, escorted to Yang Hewei, has been scraped together, and it is counted as making up for what is owed in the spring and summer of this year, and there is no more left." ”
Zhang Zongheng thought about it in his heart, not to mention the Qin army's help in raising food and wages, just saying that the local armies are now in arrears, and I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult to replenish them, but this matter cannot be delayed, so he can only grit his teeth and say, "This governor will allow another three thousand taels of silver to make up for the shortfall." ”
When Ma Shiying heard this, he had a bitter face and waited to say more, but seeing Zhang Zongheng's impatient face, he had to sigh and step aside. (To be continued.) )
