readx; Dengzhou commanded the embassy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today's posture is obviously wrong, although I just entered the house, but I already feel that the atmosphere is wrong, sitting at the top is the deputy general of Dengzhou Nangong Jun, is also the highest military officer in Dengzhou, sitting next to him, is a person dressed as a civil official, looking at the color and complement of his court clothes, it seems that he is the same as Nangong Jun is an official of the second grade, according to the strategy of the Ming Dynasty to control military with literature, Nangong Jun is still a little shorter in front of him.

On both sides of the hall sat the Dengzhou civil officials who Song Yinglong left me to be responsible for handling government affairs, as well as several commanders of the guard, including Liu Qian, who had been training for the past two months.

However, opposite Liu Qian, there were several people who looked like commanders, and they all had calm faces, like dead people.

Looks like something happened.

He didn't speak, he just was silent, and only one chair in the hall was empty, a place in the middle of his left hand.

It is necessary to dispatch the general army level, so it seems that this time it is definitely not a small fight, but Yu Rou and Yu Ruo have been mentioning some things to me a few days ago, so I don't know what this meeting is going to do. But what I'm going to do now is to hear what these people have to say, and then I'll give my opinion.

As soon as I sat down, Nangong Jun stood up, then nodded to the civil official next to me, signaling the meeting to begin.

"Today, we will summon the commanders of Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Tai'an to come here, not for anything else, but to discuss a major matter!" Nangong Jun waved his hand, pointed to the civil official who had been sitting, and said: "This is Lord Shangshu Wang of the Nanjing Military Department, who came here this time to assist Shandong and Nanzhili, and will suppress the rebels of Kou Sun Jin!" ”

As soon as Nangong Jun's voice fell, there was immediately a mess underneath, and most of the military attachés turned their heads one by one, with a look of horror written on their faces.

Sure enough, it still came.

Before Yuruo and Yurou had been talking to me about the drought in Nanzhili this year, in April and May, there had been a very serious disaster situation in various parts of Nanzhili, and the imperial court had also sent patrols to appease various places many times, but the disaster situation in various places did not improve, but worsened day by day, and at the end of May, in Luzhou, Nanzhili, there have been a large number of people fleeing the famine, and the local government in order to stop the outflow of disaster victims or flee into the local area, everywhere to search and drive away the victims. It caused great public indignation, although the supervision officials set up by the imperial court in Nanjing sent the situation to Beijing, but the situation was getting worse day by day, at the beginning of June, the officials of Bozhou finally provoked a popular uprising when suppressing the victims, a large number of displaced people under the command of a local official named Sun Jin, attacked the Bozhou capital, the Bozhou prefect fled out of the city in a hurry, and sent people to send a book to Nanzhili overnight, asking for troops to suppress, but the two thousand officers and troops under the command of the Bozhou commander were defeated by the peasant army under Sun Jin, forced Nanzhili to report to the Beijing Division, requesting that the garrisons in various parts of Nanzhili be mobilized to suppress the displaced people.

This Sun Jin led this army of about 10,000 displaced people to leave Bozhou before the arrival of the imperial court's marching army, and then went around in circles in Nanzhili and nearby provinces, making people in Nanzhili all over the country, and what is more troublesome is that the number of displaced people has also continued to grow, and in mid-June, when Sun Jin fought with the official army in the area of Shangqiu in Nanzhili, there were already about 20,000 displaced people, although the official army barely won the battle, but it did not capture Sun Jin's main force at all, according to the palace newspaper issued by the imperial court, Sun Jin's army of displaced people was very different from the displaced people in other places, and its unit was not a rabble of all the people, but Sun Jin himself commanded nearly 4,000 of them, which was the main force of the battle.

After Sun Jin was defeated in Shangqiu, he led the displaced people all the way north, and Yurou guessed the direction of Sun Jin's troops a few days ago according to the news of Guanzhang sent by the industries of the Ling family, and estimated that they would arrive in Dengzhou in five or six days, and had to admire Yurou's intelligence talent as outstanding as her business talent, and her news was much more accurate than that of the imperial court.

"Sun Jin has a lot of thieves, so the imperial court sent me to Dengzhou to fight with the general soldiers of Nangong, this matter is very important, you adults can say it directly, there is no need to hide it!" That Lord Wang glanced at Nangong Jun, slowly swept everyone, and then said: "The meaning of the Beijing Division Military Department to the Nanjing Garrison Military Department is that it is necessary to intercept Sun Jin, a thief, in the vicinity of Dengzhou, and must not let this person continue to advance north, and now the imperial court is worried about the affairs of Liaodong, if Sun Thief sits big, it will definitely shake the major affairs of the imperial court!" ”

That is to say, the problem of displaced people has always been a heart disease in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, where natural disasters occur, displaced people will rise, and I don't know how those officials in the Ming Dynasty dealt with it, every time a natural disaster occurs, the displaced people are more and more dealt with.

"The number of Sun thieves is as high as twenty or thirty thousand, and it is indeed very difficult to deal with, I invite you to come today, just to discuss what can be done to stop this group of thieves! So as not to let the court blame it, and your faces will not stop! ”

"What Lord Wang said is very true, but there are a large number of thieves, and we alone have troops in Dengzhou, I'm afraid we can't resist it!" One of the generals in the seat immediately put forward his own opinion: "Besides, some time ago, Dengzhou also sent some troops to Liaodong, and at this time, the displaced people are coming, we still have to think long-term!" ”

In the long run, isn't it just to keep the cities and let the outcasts pass through our defenses?

Nangong Jun and that Lord Wang's faces were obviously not good-looking, this person's proposal was obviously the traditional way for the local army of the Ming Dynasty to deal with the displaced people, defend the city, and send them out of the country. Try not to cause trouble, try not to fight, this is the safest way, everyone shirks each other's responsibilities, and when the time comes, even if the displaced people go to Beijing, everyone is responsible.

"A few days ago, I heard from the lords of the military department that there was a young commander in Dengzhou who defeated the Japanese invaders, I don't know which one?" Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the Lord Wang smiled reluctantly and asked.

I poked, I remembered me at this time, it was really as Li Guangzhong said, the husband was innocent and guilty, seeing that Nangong Jun's eyes had fallen on me, I had no choice but to stand up.

"The last general Dengzhou commander Zhang Ziyun, meet your lord!"

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on me, and several other commanders also looked at me with incredible eyes, as if they did not believe that the general who had lost more than a dozen men and wiped out all the Japanese was such a young man.

"It's really fake, this is the Dengzhou commander who is very popular!"

"It's not like killing dozens of pirates and saying that you have won a big victory!"

"It's not like no one has done this before!"

Everyone was talking about it like this, not only me, but even Nangong Jun's face couldn't hold it, and he coughed heavily, interrupting everyone's discussion. However, Lord Wang of the Nanjing Military Department had a smile on his face.

"General Zhang is young but has such great achievements, and the land of Dengzhou is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, even so, what good plan does General Zhang have, might as well tell us how about it?"

I wasn't going to say it, but I was quite upset by the discussion just now, and I coughed heavily at the moment, after Yurou speculated about Sun Jin's march route a few days ago, I have been thinking about how to deal with it, and I just said it today, so that Nangong Jun and Lord Wang, who seems to have some goods, will give reference to it.

"The exiles are the people of the Ming Dynasty, if they are not a last resort, they will naturally not oppose the imperial court, this time Sun Jin's incident, in the final analysis, is also caused by the greed of officials and the anger of the people. Therefore, if you want to stop Sun Jin from going north, you must use Wu Fuwen to frustrate his sharp spirit first, and then find an opportunity to appease him, so that it can be a once and for all strategy. ”

"What General Zhang said is the way, I'm afraid it's not so easy to do!" Before Nangong Jun could speak to that Lord Wang, a general sitting across from me poured a basin of cold water on me first.

The Lord Wang sitting on the upper seat didn't speak, just silently stroked the few strands of white beard on his chin, and then looked at Nangong Jun beside him, the expression on his face suddenly became serious, and then he slowly stood up and looked at me and said, "Since General Zhang is confident, how about handing over the matter of dealing with Sun Thief to General Zhang?" ”

Ha? What's the situation? I was slightly stunned, why does this sound so familiar, shirk responsibility, isn't this the scene when Li Guangzhong asked me to deal with the Japanese in the first place? Wouldn't it be that you are going to pit me again, I glanced at Nangong Jun, and when I saw him smiling, I suddenly understood why today's meeting had to be held in the Dengzhou Command Mansion, which was to throw this hot potato to me from the beginning.

"According to the speculation of the Ministry of War, the purpose of the Sun thief this time is to pass through Jinan Mansion and go north along the Dengzhou line, although the officers and troops have set up a card defense along the road, but the Sun thief and his gang, there are many people, and the officers and soldiers are insufficient, I am afraid that it will not work hard, fortunately, the document was transferred from the Ministry of War, saying that the Dengzhou commander Zhang Ziyun still has some troops in his hands, which can block the northward advance of Sun Jin and the thieves, so he ordered the Nanjing Left-behind Military Department to join Nangong Jun, the deputy general soldier of Dengzhou, to fight and gather the surrounding officials and troops to exterminate the Sun thief!" The king of Nanjing looked at me as he spoke, and the smile on his face never stopped.

"Master Li Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, specially repaired the book to me and ordered me to tell General Zhang, this matter is very important, if Dengzhou Wei is not in good shape, and the saint blames him, General Zhang will be in trouble!" Nangong Jun didn't blink his eyes, with a cold warning expression.

Sure enough, I can't hide it, although I knew that what happened here in Dengzhou would alarm the imperial court, but I didn't expect the court's hand to reach Dengzhou so soon, think about it, if those imperial officials of the Ming Dynasty really drink tea and chat all day long and don't do anything, the Ming Empire will be finished as early as Jiajing, it seems that I have to revise my impression of the Ming officials in the history books, although these civil officials of the Ming Dynasty look very lazy, but it is by no means that they do nothing written in the history books.

Lord Wang seemed to feel that Nangong Jun's warnings were not severe enough, so he slowly took over the conversation and said: "If Sun Thief successfully crosses Shandong and goes north to Zhili and threatens the Beijing Division, then the crime of dereliction of duty and negligence in the military headquarters left behind in Nanjing, the political envoy of Shandong, and the commanders of the Dengzhou General Army and the guards will definitely not be able to escape." At that time, the six ministers participating in our recital may drown our people, and if we finally provoke the anger of the Holy Dragon Yan, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect the heads of the others. ”

I now understand why the officials at that time were trembling, and my boss said in your ear all day long: "If you are not effective in suppressing bandits, you will wait to go to the execution ground!" This must be quite cool, although I didn't care about it before, but now that I think about it, those officials living in modern times are really lucky enough, even if the administration does not act or makes a big mistake, at least there will be no problem of losing their heads.

The ancient magistrate was cool, but it was also difficult!

Seeing that most of the people in the audience were earthy, presumably many of them had also learned the power of the official, and everyone looked at Nangong Jun and Lord Wang, with a sad expression, as if they had died of their own father. But I couldn't laugh anyway at this time.

As a military attaché, the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, he was really suppressed, and it seemed that he had to find a way to make a bigger official, and he would be crushed to death in the future.

Everyone's eyes fell on me, and all my colleagues, who had been making things difficult for me just now, looked at me one by one with wide eyes and resentful expressions, as if begging me to find a way to get through the current difficulty.

After all, if something really goes wrong, I'm afraid I will only have to go into exile, but this premise is still, I want to be able to slip out, but for the sake of safety, let's go see Feng Er first, if it doesn't work, I'll ask Li Dan to take me in.

I stood up, hugged my fists at Lord Wang and Nangong Jun, and said: "Since the imperial court believes in the last general, the last general can only do his best, and when the last general goes back, he will think about it carefully, and then return to the two adults." ”

Lord Wang nodded, and the habitual smile appeared on his face again: "General Zhang, although the Sun thief is powerful, it will still take a few days to come to Dengzhou, and I hope that General Zhang will not have a burden on you, even if the general is defeated, I think the military department will be considerate of the general!" ”

Yes, the military department will be considerate, but the officials will not be considerate, this old treacherous and cunning surnamed Wang is not at all like the people who stayed in the military department in Nanjing, but it is very much like the old fritters who have been mixed in the capital for many years.

Bastard, wait for me to settle Sun Jin, and see what you say then.
