Chapter 242: Counterinsurgency
After dawn, the corpses were left on the long street, and thousands of households, hundreds of households, general flags, and small banners restrained the military households, preventing them from breaking into the houses, but there was nothing to do all night, but in the early morning, Liu Chengfeng issued an order in the thousand households, and from now on, he searched for the rebels from house to house.
After all, there were too many fish that slipped through the net last night, and since we are determined to eradicate them, we naturally can't turn a blind eye. Fortunately, there is a household registration system in the Ming Dynasty, in which military households, civilian households, and artisan households are recorded, and merchants also need to rely on citations, although this system is no longer strict, but it still provides a lot of convenience for searching.
The specific details, Liu Chengfeng could not ask in detail, he took a nap in the Qianhu Office, and then summoned the generals and the parents of Beitongzhou to meet in the lobby of the Qianhu Office, but did not invite the head of the East Factory.
Everyone knows that this is Liu Chengfeng's meritorious service, and after this meeting, there will be a report of success handed over, so everyone is jubilant.
Zhou Tai naturally came, he was forced to the inner government by the chaotic party, so that later he could only take twenty or thirty errands to stick in the flower hall of the rear office, the situation at that time had reached a very urgent level, and it was at this time that the army of counterinsurgency entered the city, which was regarded as relieving the siege for him, otherwise Zhou Tai would have turned into dry bones.
This kind of happiness for the rest of his life after the catastrophe made Zhou Tai seem a little excited, although he didn't sleep all night, but his spirit was not bad, he knew in his heart that after this time, he should enter Beijing, and Beitongzhou, and even Shandong, Tianjin Wei, I don't know how many people have been promoted and made rich because of this opportunity.
During the Taiping years, such a credit was enough for everyone to reap more or less benefits.
In fact, most of these people are civil and military officials who have no foundation, scattered around this Gyeonggi, grandpa doesn't love grandma or grandma, and the officials feel redundant when they look at them, otherwise they wouldn't be five or six grades at this age.
It was by chance that this unusual opportunity was born.
Zhou Tai looked at the smiling faces in the flower hall, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, he quietly found Wang Tao, who was entertaining everyone, and asked Wang Tao in a low voice: "Priest Wang, hasn't Lord Qianhu come yet?" ”
Wang Tao said: "The adults are changing their clothes, and they should be coming soon." ”
Zhou Tai thought about it, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Can you make it convenient for me to say a few words with Liu Shihu first?" ”
It would be a bit abrupt for others to make such a request, but now with the personal relationship between Wingtech and Liu Chengfeng, this request is not too much. Wang Tao smiled and said, "My lord, I'll ask someone to lead you to sit in the small hall for a while, and I'll inform the Qianhu adults later." ”
Zhou Tai nodded and disappeared into the lobby. Immediately arranged in the small hall, sat down and drank two sips of tea Liu Chengfeng arrived, Liu Chengfeng's face flashed a little tired, entered the small hall, cheered up and smiled at Zhou Tai: "Lord Zhou is safe and sound, right?" ”
This was a common word of concern that made Zhou Tai's heart warm, and he quickly stood up and said, "Fortunately, the adults arrived in time, otherwise they would really have to die for the country." ”
What he meant was that his life was saved by Liu Chengfeng, and he patted Liu Chengfeng's ass a little.
Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and found a place to sit down, and sighed. Angry, he said: "This time, Lord Zhou stayed in Beitongzhou, which is dangerous and hard, so this time, I plan to take care of Lord Zhou in the report book, and after I go back, I should prepare to pack my bags, most likely to enter Beijing as an official." ”
Liu Chengfeng's words, Zhou Tai didn't think it was strange, this time the big victory, Liu Chengfeng was of course the first merit, this time the counterinsurgency was planned by Liu Chengfeng with one hand, and implemented with one hand, the timing was very accurate, and the grain was saved, and at the same time thousands of people were exterminated by the rebellious party, which can be described as a great contribution, coupled with the head of the thief Huang Zhen, it can be said that without Liu Chengfeng, Beitongzhou is very likely to be destroyed.
But when it comes to whose merits follow Liu Chengfeng, it is a bit controversial, in fact, everyone has contributed, just like Zhou Tai, who stayed in this Beitongzhou, confusing the chaotic party, and when the chaotic party started, he stuck to the prefect's yamen, and fought with the rebellious army. It's just that Zhou Tai is doing well, and it's just good, and the thousands of households transferred from all over the country, which one has killed a lot of chaotic parties? It can be said that hard work is high.
Therefore, there is a problem with the ranking of this merit, but Zhou Tai thinks that with Liu Chengfeng and his relationship, his credit and future are worry-free.
Zhou Tai smiled and said, "Liu Qianhu, in the future, Zhou will have to take care of Liu Qianhu when he enters the Beijing Division." However, Zhou came this time to say a few words to Liu Qianhu that he shouldn't say. ”
Liu Chengfeng also smiled and said, "What is the difference between you and my friendship that should be said and not said?" If there is anything to say, it is straightforward. ”
Zhou Tai took a deep breath and said: "Lord Qianhu, this time, if it is a matter of merit, I am afraid that there are only hundreds of people who have been promoted and made a fortune, and it is this opportunity given by Lord Qianhu that everyone has a promotion level, my lord, so many people want to be promoted to the palace, but the big guy, in fact, is still a little apprehensive." ”
"Worried?" Liu Chengfeng frowned.
Zhou Taizheng said: "It's really apprehensive, as the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, but which of us people is reliable?" If someone really looked down on it, they would have soared a long time ago, and why would they have not come out in these places for a lifetime, even if these people have made meritorious contributions and been promoted, but in the future, I am afraid that they will have to rely on Liu Qianhu more, Liu Qianhu, although there is a saying that a gentleman is a friend but not a party, but now everyone has earned credit by relying on Liu Qianhu......"
Zhou Tai's words were not finished, but as he spoke, he stared at Liu Chengfeng.
Liu Chengfeng immediately understood what Zhou Tai meant, Zhou Tai's meaning was very clear, everyone was not a saint, so let Liu Chengfeng take the lead, everyone would huddle together to keep warm, to put it mildly, it was to form a party, just like those who were in the Jinshi, they always had to find some relationships between the same year, classmates, teachers and students, to put it bluntly, it was to find a big tree to rely on through this layer of relationship.
Now these people and Liu Chengfeng are also comrades-in-arms, and everyone will have their own rewards in the future, but the problem is out, you are a guy with no relatives and no reason, no power and no power, and you actually occupy such a good position in other people, what do people think?
Now which court does not install its own people in the most critical places? So to put it mildly, their work is not necessarily a good thing, no one cares about you when you are a thousand households, and no one will give you any face when you are a prefect, but once you are promoted to occupy any important position, you will have to be excluded by others.
And Zhou Tai's method is very simple, everyone simply huddles into a group, headed by Liu Chengfeng, no matter what, Liu Chengfeng can at least speak in the palace, and can provide some protection, and everyone, naturally, also take Liu Chengfeng as the leader, what happened, everyone sat down together to discuss.
This is also good for Liu Chengfeng, after all, everyone is in the rivers and lakes, no matter which yamen they are in, there must always be someone to cheer them on, and if there is anything to explain, naturally there are people who are willing to do it for you. It is said that the court prohibits forming a party, but inside and outside the court, which is not a ball that cannot be splashed by water?
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Lord Zhou's words have passed, and we can be regarded as working together, and it is natural for everyone to support each other in the future. What you mean, I understand, we are our own people, and we will naturally take care of us.
Liu Chengfeng acquiesced to Zhou Tai's opinion, he knew by himself that even if there was a saint in the palace, what if there was a saint? After all, he is just a brocade-clothed guard, and many things are difficult to do everywhere, every time Liu Chengfeng fights alone with others, no one carries a sedan chair for him, and no one shouts for him, and the saint may not be reliable alone.
And now, everyone is stained with Liu Chengfeng's light, on the one hand, they are grateful to Liu Chengfeng, on the other hand, it is also Xizun who is taken care of by Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng will naturally not refuse, after all, these people have to be promoted because of this merit, and then they are all around Gyeonggi, and Liu Chengfeng will have little place for them to contribute in the future.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, rivers and lakes, the lone ranger has no future, it's like a fight, it's always better to have more people, brothers rush up, no matter which way you are a hero, you have to lie down.
Zhou Tai smiled, then nodded at Liu Chengfeng, and said: "In this case, I will explain this meaning to everyone later, after all, this kind of thing is tacit, Liu Qianhu has a great future, let me match the bridge." ”
Zhou Tai is still righteous enough, after all, everyone is a little taboo about this kind of thing, this thing is big and big, small and small, it is easy for people to grasp what handle, of course Liu Chengfeng can't leave people to talk about, but Zhou Tai is different, as long as Liu Chengfeng is there, he is not afraid.
Liu Chengfeng nodded and smiled: "Okay, then there is Lord Lao Zhou, let's go, let's go and meet everyone." ”
After all, without Liu Chengfeng, there would be no credit for them, not to mention that the book was written by Liu Chengfeng, and everyone's future was entrusted to him.
"Adult ......"
All the people got up from their chairs, and made a gesture towards the willow in the wind, and beat the gong.
Liu Chengfeng was full of smiles, pressed his hand at them, signaled that they didn't have to be polite, and then sat down behind his case, and said with a smile: "Let everyone wait for a long time, Liu's body can't bear it, and after staying up all night, my brain is still dizzy, and I am really embarrassed compared to you." ”
This ordinary sentence made many people can't help but laugh, and everyone was infected by Liu Chengfeng's easy-going attitude, and they all relaxed. (To be continued)
