Chapter 199: Pro-Barracks
The letter of the good news was quickly sent out, and it was sent to Beijing, Suzhou and Yan'an respectively, and what should be told could not be left behind, and when the child was not full moon, Wen Manshan could not get out of the house, but fortunately, the climate gradually became cooler, even if he stayed in the house, there was no problem.
Zheng Xunrui has to go back to the backyard every day after taking a bath, hug the child, and chat with Wen Manshan for a while.
Wen Manshan's body recovered quickly, but her attention shifted to the child.
Everyone is also preparing for the children's full moon wine, which must be celebrated.
Zheng Xunrui's energy could not be completely focused on his family and children, he had to pay attention to the changes in the situation at all times, so after the children's full moon wine, he began to focus on Liukou again.
In early September, the Houjin Tatars ended their raids in Xuanfu and Datong and returned to Liaodong, and the situation around the capital finally stabilized, but Liukou took advantage of this time to develop and grow, and the situation became uncontrollable.
In October, the total number of Liukou exceeded 200,000 again, of which Li Zicheng's power became the most powerful, faintly overshadowing the power of other Liukou, the main location of Liukou's activities was in the area of Hanzhong Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion in Shaanxi, but they never dared to enter Yan'an Mansion, even if they occupied Baishui County, it was very close to Yijun County under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture, and they still did not enter Yan'an Mansion.
The emperor finally issued an order to remove Chen Qiyu from his position as the right attendant of the military department and the governor of the five provinces, and put him in prison.
Chen Qiyu shouldn't have come to this point, he can be regarded as having made a contribution, at least the battle of Chezhou Gorge hit the strength of the Liukou fiercely, even if there was a mistake in the back, if it could be remedied in time, and the army was mobilized to carry out the encirclement and suppression of the Liukou again, maybe it would not have fallen into such a situation, but unfortunately Chen Qiyu thought of shirking responsibility and delaying the fighter again, in such a situation, how could the imperial history of the court let him go, and how could the emperor forgive him.
In mid-October, the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou was appointed governor of the five provinces, but the difference was that Hong Chengchou was made the crown prince and the Taibao, and he also served as the governor of the trilateral army.
The alarm in the area of Datong Xuanfu has not been completely lifted, although Hong Chengchou served as the governor of the five provinces, but he is not skilled, he still sticks to the Datong area, and pays close attention to the movements of the Houjin Tartars.
This kind of practice of surviving the Kou on behalf of the army, the effect is definitely not good, the army of all walks of life does not have a unified command, each to exterminate the Liukou, any of their armies, can not compare with the strength of the Liukou, plus Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong and others, learned the lessons of the Battle of Chezhou Gorge, become more mobile and flexible, so this time the encirclement and suppression, the Liukou with the advantage of the terrain, fought several victories.
On October 27, the shocking news came again, the vast army of Hu reinforced Hanzhong to exterminate the Liukou, but when they just entered Hanzhong, they were defeated by the Liukou who had been prepared for a long time, and the deputy commander-in-chief Yang Zhengfang and the general Zhang Shida were killed in battle.
Seeing the Shaanxi newspaper, Zheng Xunrui sighed, he didn't understand why the emperor was so rigid, the Houjin Tartars had withdrawn, and the border troops in the direction of Xuanfu and Datong could not be mobilized, which was understandable, but the Yulin border army could be mobilized, and they could participate in the battle to exterminate the Liukou, at least they could be familiar with the terrain and not be outflanked by the Liukou.
Xu Wanghua took a young man into the governor's yamen.
The young man was burly and looked a little gloomy.
Xu Wanghua entered the wing, and the young man waited outside the wing.
"Do you remember what your subordinates said about Su Manzi?"
"I remember, a native of Quzi Town, Huanxian County, my father starved to death in the second year of Chongzhen, and the Yamen of Huanxian County forcibly collected taxes, made disrespectful remarks, and was imprisoned in prison.
"My lord remembers it so clearly, my subordinates really didn't expect that my subordinates brought Su Manzi today."
Zheng Xunrui looked at Xu Wanghua and didn't speak, he knew that Xu Wanghua would definitely have to explain why he brought Su Manzi to the governor's yamen, you must know that when Chen Yaoyan forcibly collected taxes in Qingyang Mansion, it was not only Su Manzi who had a tragic experience.
"Because of his poor family, Su Manzi began to make a living since he was a child, forced by life, once served in the army in Ningxiawei, and practiced his skills, but unfortunately because the officers deducted military salaries, they couldn't eat enough, and fled back to their hometown."
Zheng Xunrui's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Oh, why didn't this Su barbarian choose to join the rogue team."
"The subordinates also felt strange and asked Su Manzi, Su Manzi said that he couldn't rebel if he starved to death, but the Huanxian Yamen forcibly collected taxes, and his mother died of illness, Su Manzi was ready to join the Liukou team, fortunately, his subordinates took Su Manzi with him, and he originally wanted to let him enter the Zheng family army earlier, but because there were many things for adults, he never had time to say it."
"Let Su Manzi come in."
Su Manzi entered the wing room, and after seeing Zheng Xunrui, he immediately knelt down, and it seemed that he still knew the rules.
Looking at Su Manzi's expression, Zheng Xunrui frowned slightly.
"Su Manzi, Mr. Xu specially introduced you, you once said that you can't rebel even if you starve to death, Mr. Xu appreciates what you said, this official knows the grievances you have suffered, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded, that Chen Yaoyan, who was doing nonsense in Qingyang Mansion, has died, which can be regarded as a comfort to your mother."
Su Manzi lowered his head and did not speak.
"Look up."
Zheng Xunrui's voice suddenly became louder, and Su Manzi, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly and raised his head.
"The official knows that you are uncomfortable in your heart, your mother died of illness, and you were not able to send it to the end, but after so long of things, you are still addicted to it, you can't get used to anything, and your heart is always surrounded by hatred, are your parents in the spirit of heaven willing to see you live like this, if it is a man, cheer up, do things well, and work hard, so that your parents can be comforted in the spirit of heaven and be proud of you."
Su Manzi was stunned for a moment, and kowtowed heavily to Zheng Xunrui.
"Master's words, the little one remembers."
Su Manzi's voice was a little thick, and his speech was very brief, obviously he didn't have much culture, so he didn't know how polite he was.
"Okay, you get up, Mr. Xu, tell Zheng Jinhong, just say that I arranged it, let Su Manzi enter the pro-military camp."
Xu Wanghua was taken aback, Zheng Jiajun's pro-military camp, ordinary people can't enter at all, the requirements are too strict, even stricter than the requirements of the scout camp, after all, when the pro-military camp is fighting, he follows Zheng Xunrui's side all the time.
"My lord, Su Manzi directly entered the pro-military camp, isn't it a little abrupt, the subordinates mean, enter the Shenji camp first, sharpen it, if you really have the ability, you will be assigned to the cavalry battalion."
"No, the person introduced by Mr. Xu, I am relieved, so I am sure of it."
Zheng Xunrui looked at Su Manzi, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Su Manzi, you were introduced by Mr. Xu to the Zheng Family Army, you must know that Mr. Xu has never introduced anyone to the Zheng Family Army, you are the first, this official decided to let you enter the pro-military camp, it is a trust in Mr. Xu, and it is also an appreciation for you, you used to serve in the Ningxia Wei Army, and you know the rules in the army, but the Zheng Family Army is a little special, although you have entered the pro-military camp, but can you gain a foothold in the pro-military camp, I said it doesn't count, you need your own efforts."
"I don't want you to discredit Mr. Xu, and I don't want the person I recommended to enter the pro-military camp is Xiong Bao, I sue you, even if you try your best to hold on to me, no matter how harsh the training is, you have to pass guò."
"If you can't persevere, then don't think about staying in the Zheng family's army, and when the time comes, I will send you home and go to your parents' graves to cry and see how your parents will treat their useless son."
Xu Wanghua walked out of the governor's yamen with Su Manzi and walked towards the Zheng family's military camp, with a stern expression.
"Su Manzi, my lord's arrangement, I have seen it for the first time, which shows that the adult appreciates you very much, what is the pro-military camp for, I don't need to say much, you have to remember that your life was given by the adult, if it wasn't for the adult to send me to Qingyang Mansion, you would probably die in the prison, Chen Yaoyan, who plagued Qingyang Mansion, was also eliminated by the adult, what the adult just said is very clear, if you are a bear, you are eliminated by the pro-military camp, don't blame me for being unkind."
"The little one knows, and the little one's life is given by the adult."
"Very good, I don't listen to any rhetoric, it's true that you did it."
The Zheng family's military camp is heavily guarded, and ordinary people can't enter at all, if it weren't for Zheng Xunrui's letter, Xu Wanghua wouldn't be able to enter, Su Manzi looked at the surroundings curiously, and the momentum embodied in the military camp made his eyes begin to shine.
Xu Wanghua, who was on the side, noticed this, he was shocked, Su Manzi is really a good seedling, he did not have the slightest fear when he entered the barracks, but he had a challenging mentality, the adult is really amazing, and he can find talents at a glance.
sent Xu Wanghua away, and the porter sent a letter.
The letter came from the capital, and when he saw the font on it, Zheng Xunrui knew who wrote it.
Opening the letter, Wen Zhenmeng's familiar font came into view, and after reading the content of the letter, Zheng Xunrui's face showed a smile, this is Wen Zhenmeng's only unique letter, talking about children, Wen Zhenmeng chose a name for the child, of course, he also had to ask Zheng Xunrui's opinion, after all, both of them are the champions of the palace examination.
"Wen Manshan, the grandfather chose a name for the child, Zheng Hanyu, I think this name is good."
Wen Manshan pondered for a moment and spoke with a smile.
"The slave family listens to each other."
Zheng Xunrui looked at the sleeping child with a smile on his face, and he could only feel relaxed when he saw the child every day
