ps: Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a like.

"Mr. Song, Zhou Yanru has resigned." Zhang Dahui hurriedly came to Song Wenxian's branch, waved off the maid next to him, and whispered to Song Wenxian about today's major events.

Song Wenxian was not the slightest surprised, everyone knew that Zhou Yanru would fall, although there were no major leaks in his tenure, but he offended many people.

"Whether Chen Yutai and Wu Weiye bribed Zhou Yanru, no one can say, but Chen Yutai is his in-law, and it is not wrong that Wu Weiye and his father are Zhou Yanru's old acquaintances, but it is ridiculous that Wu Weiye does not know how to keep a low profile, and he actually brought a prostitute to Beijing to try. When he ordered these two people to enter the first class, he just kept people and said. Song Wenxian took a sip of tea, "Yuan has always been the second assistant examiner, this week Yanru is bent on accepting protégés, and robbed Wen Tiren's position, according to the appearance of the first class later, it is either a fellow villager or a relative or friend, there is no greasy and no one believes it in the middle, and Chen Yutai finally won the champion, he is in trouble by himself." If you want to say that God Yikui offered a bribe, it is a certainty, Zhou Yanru even dares to accept this silver, it is really fatal. ”

Zhang Dahui hesitated: "But whether the emperor will allow it, I don't understand it at the moment, after all, Wu Weiye and Chen Yutai were both two years ago, and there were many imperial histories impeached in the first two years, and the emperor didn't say anything." ”

"It's probably going to be right this time." Song Wenxian said lightly, "I have built a slave in the year of the Emperor, Donglin is poor, Qian Longxi Wang Qia is in his position, and there is an unclear Yuan Chonghuan, who privately convicted Mao Long of death, which is a taboo for the emperor." Later, Qian Longxi was poured, Wang Qia sent the vegetable market, the power of the Donglin Party in the DPRK and China was greatly weakened, and the emperor did not want to see the Donglin Party. Why did Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren rise all the way. is because both of them regard themselves as lonely ministers who are not in the party, which shows the true thoughts of the emperor, that is, the important ministers are not in the party, but the speech officials use Donglin more to make them control the size of each other, and never let the authority and the speech officials collude with each other. Wen Tiren saw the emperor's intentions, and he had always been the enemy of Donglin, but this Zhou Yanru had privately reconciled with Donglin in the past two years, and Wu Weiye still had a Zhang Pu in that subject. is the head of the resumption of the society, the middle is Jinshi, Zhou Yanru and the Donglin Party reconciled, is committing the emperor's jealousy, this time I am afraid that I will not be able to pass the test. ”

Zhang Dahui laughed and said, "That's just right." Zhou Yanru has always been against us in the past two years. As soon as Mr. Song said this, the younger brother also remembered that today, Zhou Yanru and the East Lin faction of the DPRK proposed He Ru Favor, it should be to use He Ru Pet's qualifications to pressure Wen Tiren, and he was determined not to let Wen Tiren be the first assistant, but to make Dong Lin more powerful, so that his comeback would be less obstacles. ”

Song Wenxian shook his head and said, "Zhou Yanru is a young man. Once in power, he was a little more careful in everything he did and behaved, and so far he was at the end of his rope, and if he wanted to save himself, he should immediately make a clear connection with any Korean party. There may be a glimmer of opportunity. But you see that he is still dealing with Wen Tiren with the Donglin Party, how do you know that Wen Tiren is wishing for him to be like this. Zhou Yanru is a great reader, but if you want to say that he is an old man, Zhou Yanru is still far worse than Wen Tiren. Losing to Wen Tiren is not unjust at all. Wen Tiren really understands what it means to be a lonely minister, and the authorities are not confused. That Zhou Yanru didn't seem to understand, he was obviously half a bucket of water, but he was smart and many, but he left the emperor with the impression of both ends of the head and the mouse. ”

After Song Wenxian finished speaking, he took out a box of Dengjin incense, and wrapped a layer of gold leaf on the filter, three hundred and one packs, which was bought by the rich and noble people of Jingshi. He sent one to Zhang Dahui, and the two of them lit a fire, Song Wenxian swallowed the clouds and said to Zhang Dahui: "The world is unpredictable, back then, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren were the party, and it was just a blink of an eye, when Sun Yuanhua first came to Denglai, he took good care of Denglai, and in the end he was not the same rival." Although Wen Xiang is good to us at the moment, you should not be too ostentatious in Jingshi, and the room that should be arranged must also be prepared, and you should not have a contemptuous mind. ”

"Mr. Song is talking about safe housing, the younger brother will take care of it, Jingshi has stayed for all these years, and he has seen too much changes in the DPRK and China, and he will always take care of his own life, and he will live a good life with Brother Chen in the future."

Song Wenxian stretched out his hand and nodded at Zhang Dacheng, smiling and shaking his head.

The two of them didn't finish a cigarette, and a subordinate outside came in and gave Zhang Dahui a note. After reading it, Zhang Dawei waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat.

Waiting for the man to bring the door, Zhang Dahui immediately stood up excitedly, and then handed it to Song Wenxian, "Mr. Song, the Qingzhou General Army has been decided, it is Geng Zhongming, and the Qingzhou Mansion is also under the rule of the Governor of Denglai. ”

Song Wenxian dropped the cigarette butt, and said with a smile after reading the information on the paper: "Zhou Yanru is really going to step down, Geng Zhongming was proposed by Liu Yulie, Zhou Yanru supported it, and the emperor wants to arrange the Qingzhou general army before Zhou Yanru steps down, which seems to refute the election of Dengzhou Zhenggang, the emperor wants to let Zhou Yanru take this name, so that Lord Chen will not be dissatisfied with the emperor, and if you want to blame, blame Zhou Yanru." ”

Zhang Dahui laughed, "It has to be expected by Lord Chen, if it is to promote Dai Zhenggang, I am afraid that in the end, the bamboo basket will draw water, but this Geng Zhongming will become, I don't know how Lord Chen swallowed Geng Zhongming's battalion." ”

Song Wenxian and Geng Zhongming have been dealing with each other for a long time, and he was also present when he killed Wang Bingzhong to warn Geng Zhongming, and later Geng Zhongming had to go through the Department of Foreign Affairs for many things, so Geng Zhongming and Song Wenxian were most familiar with each other, and they had to give Song Wenxian some filial piety every year.

Therefore, Song Wenxian knew Geng Zhongming very well, and said to Zhang Dahui after listening to it: "Geng Zhongming has a smart head, you don't have to worry about him, even if Lord Chen doesn't go to him, he will go to find Lord Chen himself." ”

"That's an interesting person, think about it, they rebelled together at that time, Wang Zideng and Li Yingyuan died, Li Jiucheng Kong Youde went to Jiannu as a slave, and Geng Zhongming was living well, and he was thriving in Dengzhou, and he was better than Shang Kexi."

Song Wenxian said with a smile: "Shang Kexi is more honest than Geng Zhongming, but there is still a lot of heat to see the limelight, and after the fight is over in Lushun, the people in Dongjiang should be able to understand it." He smiled and said to Zhang Dahui: "The Qingzhou General Soldier has been taken down, and your next step is to fight for the less conspicuous Deputy Chief Soldier, at least at least get the guerrilla battalion." This year, this matter in Qingzhou has finally been completed, and there are still many things to do, as far as next year is concerned, Lord Chen may have to deal with some people in Dongjiang Town, you should pay attention to it in Beijing. Everything related to Dongjiang Town must be recorded and sent to Denglai. ”

"Listen to Mr. Song, Mr. Song, are you leaving?"

"Naturally, the Foreign Affairs Department has a lot of things, although the Beijing Division is important, but it can't be lost over there." Song Wenxian squinted his eyes, he knew that he couldn't leave the power center of Dengzhou too far, although Yang Yunnong's qualifications were far worse than his own, but he always handled the affairs of the department, and his sense of authority within would surpass his own.

He added another sentence to Zhang Dawei. "But I'm going slowly, you better send a fast horse to Denglai to inform Lord Chen about the Qingzhou General Army." ……

The fast horses of the Jingshi came out, and along the way, they relied on the trading companies in various places to change horses, and the trading companies acted as the Dengzhou post station. Even so, when Chen Xin received the news. It's been eight days.

Chen Xin inspected Pingdu and Qingzhou, mainly inspecting the training of reserve soldiers. In winter, the land is frozen like iron, there is no agricultural activity in Tunbao, and there is no way to build roads, and it is time to train the reserve army, and these farmers can also get some subsidies in winter.

Chen Xin accelerated the replacement of veterans after the Lushun War, and a group of experienced non-commissioned officers retired to the Mobilization Division. Replenished to the various mobilization commands, and then replenished with new recruits into the standing army, although the number of soldiers has not changed, the total number has actually increased by thousands. The potential mobilization capability will be even stronger, and with the enrichment of these non-commissioned officers, the combat strength of the mobilization army will increase by a new level.

The standing army of Dengzhou was drawn and mixed from various tunpu, but these reserve armies still relied on the tunpu system. People who rely on community ties to build cohesion in mobilized troops, and train together who work together on weekdays. Of course, there is more trust than a stranger.

After receiving the news, Chen Xin immediately returned to Dengzhou and summoned Geng Zhongming before the imperial court order arrived.

Geng Zhongming stood in Chen Xin's study and was a little at a loss, he was also the number one person in Dengzhou on weekdays, and his subordinates did not recognize any related households, unless they were senior officials in the DPRK and above the prefecture magistrate, other people's taxes would be collected, and it would be difficult for anyone to speak.

Even Wang Tingqian and Lu Zhi don't yell at him now, but every time they see Chen Xin, they feel unconsciously nervous, even if they know that Chen Xin won't deal with him, they still can't stop that fear. And he now has a habit of seeing if there is anyone behind him after sitting down, and this is the case when he eats at home, if he is not a cronie, he can't eat.

"General Geng sit, congratulations to General Geng on his promotion." Chen Xin politely invited Geng Zhongming to sit down.

"It's all the grace of the adult, and the villain knows it in his heart." Geng Zhongming sat in a corner after speaking, then turned back to look at the back, turned half and remembered that this was Chen Xin's study, and quickly turned around again. Chen Xin was pouring tea and didn't notice Geng Zhongming's movements.

There are two guards in Chen Xin's study, which is also his habit, and he will not see those with higher force alone. He brought a pot of tea and poured Geng Zhongming a cup, causing Geng Zhongming to stand up again.

Chen Xin sat down and said: "It is also General Geng who does have military merits, although Lushun did not fight directly, but General Geng took the lead when he fought in Henan, and the officials all watched it with their own eyes." ”

Geng Zhongming felt a little proud in his heart, after all, this was his own real achievement, and there would always be some satisfaction when he was recognized, especially here with this shrewd superior.

Chen Xin continued: "This time you are the chief soldier, the Beijing division still has to go, if there is any inconvenience along the way, just go to the local trading company to say hello, and the local general things can be done." If you go to Jingshi, don't go to the trading house, naturally someone will come to you, if you want to inquire about the news or something, just ask them, there is nothing they don't know. ”

Geng Zhongming knew that Chen Xin was hinting to himself, don't have any bad thoughts, his people are everywhere. Geng Zhongming hurriedly said: "Xiaguan is saved, thank you for your care." Xiaguan has always been a reckless man, and he doesn't understand many things in Jingshi, so if Jingshi has something important, he has to ask someone from the trading company to ask the adults to help him get an idea. ”

Chen Xin heard his attitude, so he waved his hand and said: "It won't be a big deal, just like the last time you met the saint, it's just the usual practice of being an official, whether it's the emperor or the ministry, if you have any orders, just agree, if you are really embarrassed, discuss with Zhang Dahui of the Beijing Division, he has a lot of ways in the Beijing Division, and he can also help you with your ideas." ”

After Chen Xin said last time he helped him become the chief soldier of Qingzhou, Geng Zhongming thought about this matter privately, Chen Xin must have taken a fancy to the territory of Qingzhou Mansion, and he also knew how to do it, of course, the most important thing is the three battalions in Qingzhou, the main barracks must be the general soldiers of Qingzhou, and the remaining one strange battalion and a guerrilla battalion will depend on who will be arranged later, it is estimated that at least one will be given to Dengzhou Town, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public, because Dengzhou's military merits have been pressed a lot.

Geng Zhongming planned not to go around in circles anymore, and said directly to Chen Xin: "Lord Chen, Xiaguan has a reluctant request here, Xiaguan was originally five hundred Ding, and the total number of soldiers in Qingzhou is at least 3,000 soldiers, which is already not enough. ”

Chen Xin laughed, this Geng Zhongming was really smart, he handed over the ladder by himself, saving everyone from bothering to speak, so he agreed: "It's all for the country, it's naturally convenient, General Geng just goes to Beijing to face the saint, and the officer of the soldiers agreed, and when you come back, there will naturally be enough male soldiers." ”
