In the lobby of the governor's mansion in Yulin Town, an important place on the border of northern Shaanxi, local civil officials and military generals stood left and right, whispering to each other in twos and threes.

Suddenly, with a roll call, the officials in the hall immediately remained solemn, and there was no seriousness. There was the sound of footsteps in the back hall, and a man sat down on the main seat.

When the new governor Zhang Mengjing arrived, the civil and military generals in the various places under his jurisdiction naturally greeted him one by one.

Immediately after the practice was over, some people patted the sycophants, saying that the governor rushed to take office non-stop despite the severe cold, which is really an example of an official!

As soon as he opened his mouth, the others naturally didn't want to lag behind, and hurriedly expressed that the governor was a model for the lower officials to learn, and for a while, the hall was filled with the sound of patting the new officials.

As the new high-ranking person and in charge of the military and political power in the Yansui region, Zhang Mengjing is naturally full of ambition. Listening to so many people say things that make his heart feel comfortable, his heart is naturally happy.

However, he also had something unpleasant, and when they were almost done, he suddenly had a cold face and shouted in a majestic tone: "This official has traveled all the way, and I heard that Fugu County has fallen into the hands of thieves so far, why don't you mention this matter?" ”

He was a dignified governor, and when he came to take office, he had to avoid Fugu County, and he took a detour to take office, which made the journey more difficult, and naturally it was impossible to treat it as if it hadn't happened.

When everyone in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but secretly cry out in their hearts. It is said that the new official took office with three fires, but he didn't think that the governor would want to burn the troublesome matter of Fugu with the first fire.

No one wants to ask for trouble, and the civil and military generals who were rushing to pat themselves just now immediately turned into a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth, standing there like a mud bodhisattva, looking at the nose and the nose and the heart.

When Zhang Mengjing saw this situation, his face sank, and he suddenly shouted: "Where is Sun Xianzu in the head town?" ”

"The last general!" Sun Xianzu cried out in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed loudly.

Zhang Mengjing stared at him for a while, and suddenly asked loudly: "The thieves have occupied Fugu County for several months, as the chief soldier of one side, why didn't you send troops to exterminate them?" ”

Sun Xianzu will ask the new governor about the situation of Fugu. In fact, I expected it, and I had already prepared for it. But if you don't ask in the end, it's for the best.

But now that he has asked, he will not delay. Immediately said loudly: "Back to Zhongcheng, Yue Zhongcheng made a plan before, which was to use the cold to kill most of the thieves first, and then wait for the beginning of spring before using troops. ”

When Zhang Mengjing heard this, he was angry. It was with this bad idea that Yue Hesheng was frightened and died. Do you want to follow in the footsteps of that sick and dead ghost?

He immediately slapped the table and shouted angrily: "The will of the imperial court, since we should exterminate the chaotic people in various places as soon as possible, and restore peace to the place." We wait for the king's fortune to share the king's worries, otherwise we will be ashamed of the monarch's father and the people, do you know? ”

Sun Xianzu clenched his fists and lowered his head, silent.

The civilian-military generals standing in two rows did not squint. Continue to be in front of their mud bodhisattvas, so as not to attract the attention of the new governor by the slightest change.

Seeing this at the bottom, Zhang Mengjing was even more angry, and immediately ordered: "This official ordered you to send troops immediately to quell the thieves in the valley within half a month!" ”

"Back to Zhongcheng, the last general found that the weather on the grassland was more severe than before, and a large number of cattle, horses and sheep froze to death. This year's situation is grim. Don't dare to slack off. Sun Xianzu said boldly.

Although after Dayan Khan, the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty signed a mutual market agreement, and the two sides no longer went to war. But this is only a big war no more, and the small war has not been interrupted.

Especially Shaanxi Province. From the Wanli period to the end of the Apocalypse, from Ningxia in the west, to Yansui in the east, and even to Guyuan and Xi'an, there were groups of Mongolian cavalry in Koubian almost every year. Especially in the first year of the Apocalypse, the number of people who joined the army was as high as 60,000 or 70,000.

Therefore. The imperial court had strict orders for the general soldiers, governors, and governors stationed at the border gates, requiring them to guard against the Mongol Tatars.

Historically, it was not until the first year of Chongzhen that there was no invasion by the Mongol Tatars in Shaanxi. However, this is not because the Ming army suddenly became stronger, but for another reason.

When Zhang Mengjing heard Sun Xianzu's reply, her brows couldn't help frowning. He also knew that the Mongol Tatars were the ones to be guarded against.

But he thought about it again, and the reason why he used to focus on guarding against the Mongol Tatars was because there were no popular uprisings in the territory. Now that the rebels have occupied the county seat for so long, other places are still following suit, which is also a very serious matter.

Thinking of this, he softened his anger a little, and said in a consultative tone instead: "It's the coldest time now, the Tartars haven't invaded yet, and they shouldn't come again this year." Do you think if you have divided a part of the troops to exterminate the thieves, and we can be regarded as having an explanation to the imperial court? ”

When the civil and military generals on one side heard this, although they maintained their original posture, their eyes turned and they wanted to peek at the new governor. Look at the way he was righteous just now, and he wanted to repay Jun's kindness, but now he has softened, I don't know what his expression is?

At this time, Sun Xianzu heard that Zhang Mengjing had softened, so he raised his head and replied with a serious face: "Zhongcheng has an order, and the last general should obey it." I don't know when the arrears of the border army will be repaid, as well as the silver for the promotion, the reward for the battle, and the silver for the settlement of the family also need to be issued, otherwise it will be difficult for the army to be pulled! ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Mengjing was stunned. The first thing he did when he arrived was to check the financial situation, and the result was naturally cold.

As a person in the officialdom, he naturally has a number, but he didn't expect that a military town like Yansui would be like this.

At this time, Sun Xianzu asked him for these silver according to the custom, which was also reasonable. But how can there be any silver in the treasury, and you can't let yourself pay for it, right?

Thinking of this, he stared at Sun Xianzu, thinking in his heart, you have been a general soldier for so many years, and you have lost a lot of money, right? Fugu is just a chaotic people, and the border army under your command is elite, and it won't cost much silver to calm it out. At this time, he still has to ask the official, and the official remembers this!

Now is not the time to attack, Zhang Mengjing pressed the unhappiness in his heart to the bottom of his heart, frowned and thought about it, and asked loudly: "Where is the Shaanxi Governor Grain Road participating in politics?" ”

The governor of the grain road participates in the administration of a province's field grain tax, and he has a lot of silver in his hand, so he has this question. It is naturally best to be able to take out the money from him.

Because this place in Shaanxi is special, the original governor of the grain road and participating in politics was only an official under the provincial political envoy, and at most there was a governor above. But in addition to the political envoys, Shaanxi also had three governors and a governor. All of them have the ability to supervise the grain road and participate in politics, so naturally everyone wants to make more money from him.

There was no one in the hall, and after being silent for a while, one of the people who was still at the front of the civil officials came out and announced: "Back to Zhongcheng, it is Hong Chengchou who supervises the grain road and participates in politics, and he should be on his way to Yansui right now." (To be continued.) )
