Chapter 705: Shadow Building

It was ten days after Xiao Zhiyan's urgent report arrived in Zhai Zhe's hands.

It would not have taken such a long time to get from Ruyang to Yangzhou, but on the way there was a period of Qing court-controlled districts, and now there was a shortage of soldiers everywhere, and the bandits were more numerous than the armies facing off against the Ming and Qing courts. The Courier had a little trouble on the way, but eventually sent an urgent report.

All risky emergencies were written in secret language, and Zhang Bingyin submitted the declassified official documents to the regent's desk.

The military situation was urgent, and several attendants of the Internal Affairs Office did not dare to delay. Hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ming and Qing dynasties were staggered in the long stretch from Ganzhou Wei in the north to the coast of the East China Sea in the south, and a partial breakthrough could reach the shape of the entire war.

A piece of gray rice paper, Zhang Bingyin's regular script is very neat, like movable type printing.

Zhai Zhe took it and swept it over, and the exhalation of his nostrils was slightly heavier.

It's just a slight change, and Zhang Bingyin knows that the regent is unhappy. The regent is very careful to control his own feelings, but he can't do it yet.

Zhai Zhe put down the transcribed urgent report, took out a letter from the stack of urgent reports in his right hand and handed it to Zhang Bingyin, and said in a deep voice: "Encrypt this letter to Henan, and order Xiao Zhiyan to choose the opportunity to defeat the Lekde Hun cavalry in Henan." "Obey" Zhang Bingyin took it. The envelope was stamped with the word "factory", which was a secret report sent by Zhao Zhicheng, and he did not know the contents of it. Going out and returning to the wing room on the right, he opened the secret report: "The Qing court urgently transferred 5,000 cavalry from Liaodong into the fortress, and the leader of the troops was Belchahan of the Horqin Division, which is most likely to join the Henan battlefield. "Can such news also be spied on? Only the regent was left in the spacious room, and the guard at the door stood like a sculpture. Zhai Zhe leaned back in his chair, his temples swollen gently. A pot of Wuyi's big red robe is kept at hand, the aroma of rock tea is strong, it can clear the mind and dispel fatigue, and he recently changed to drink green tea to rock tea. It's really not worrying anywhere. The official documents of the six departments of Nanjing City were sent to Yangzhou by fast boat late every night, and the battle between the officials and the household department intensified, making him eager to recruit Zong Mao and Ma Shiying in front of him and scold them. In order to encourage the private silver to open mines, Zongmao asked the regent to exempt the mining tax for ten years. New mines often have to open roads and add furnaces, which costs a lot of money, and Zhai Zhe had approved this matter before leaving Nanjing, but he didn't expect that there would be a mess in the quarrying in Taipingfu. There are many quarrying mines, and the household department has distributed some of the quarrying mines to a group of wealthy merchants in Huguang. Unexpectedly, the local squires did not allow the rich merchants of Huguang to mine, so that more than 30 people died. The prefect of Taiping Prefecture wrote a letter attacking the Hubu miners for being arrogant and domineering, instructing merchants to hire murderers to beat people; Zong Mao wrote to the Taiping prefect to openly disobey the imperial decree and shield the local people. It is a very cheap thing to compete with the prefect in a book. How could Nema Shiying actually stand on the side of the Taiping Prefect, claiming that mines were opened everywhere to disturb the people and disturb the people, and the terrain of mountains and rivers was bad. That's it, Ma Shiying's recital is followed by five letters of the imperial history of the Ducha. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been the territory of the Donglin Party, when did the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party cooperate so tacitly? Zhai Zhegang pressed this matter at hand, and now nothing is as important as the big battle in front of him, Xiao Zhiyan's urgent report is really timely. "Xiao Zhiyan wants to attack Fengyang" He understands Xiao Zhiyan, just as Xiao Zhiyan understands him. "Is he still thinking about Daming?" Zhai Zhe felt a faint sense of loss. There is no like-minded person around him, such as Xiao Zhiyan and Chen Zilong, who can be called friends, and they are not on the same path as him. Fang Yizhi can barely be counted as one, but he is not an official in the court. The willow follows the wind, has the ability, but is also sleek enough. He wasn't the strongest, and if they were to be put in a cage to fight, the last one to survive would be this man who looked a little lonely. Zong Mao? "Zong Mao" Zhai Zhe muttered softly. He has never regarded Zong Mao as a friend, but the most indispensable thing he has at hand now is Zong Mao. Even if Zuo Ruo and Feng Qin died on the battlefield, he believed that the Ming Dynasty could recover the Jingshi, but if there was no Zong Mao, who else could he find to realize his ambitions. Fan Yongdou? Far from it. He doesn't have the momentum of Zong Mao's courage. What about the others? Do you see it clearly? Whether it is the Eunuch Party or the Donglin Party, they are all from scholars. Zhang Bingyin said that even if he was bitten by a five-step snake, no mountain people had the courage to cut off their limbs. So the gentry in Jiangnan perished with the Ming Dynasty. This is a long war, which should not end before winter, and according to the current position of the Ming and Qing courts, it is impossible to end without fighting one side and making it difficult to support. The entire court of the Ming Dynasty was serving the war situation in the north. Liu Suifeng, the newly appointed secretary of the military department, and Fan Yongdou, who had just obtained the weapon workshop, were full of energy. After ascending to the position of secretary of the military department as he wished, Liu Suifeng changed his mansion. The house was much more spacious and bright, there were two more rows of guards at the door, and the old man who had guarded the door for five years was still there. Liu Quan and Liu Taixi no longer came to his house, and Liu Quan's second son Liu Taiguang left a life because of the "Bingjia Case" with 20 canes and Taiwan, and I don't know if there will be a day to return to the Central Plains. But there was no shortage of guests in his mansion, and the military newspapers from all over the country first went to the General's Mansion, and then transferred to the military headquarters, and he was the most well-informed person in Nanjing. In Shen, the summer days are long and the sky is very bright. An old man in his fifties came to Liufu, the old man had good eyes, and he had almost recognized the characters with heads and faces in Nanjing City in the past few years. "Fan Langzhong, you are here, the master has just come back from the yamen" Fan Yongdou arched his hand and smiled: "Annoyance report" The old man entered the mansion, and after a while, Liu Suifeng personally greeted him. Although Fan Yongdou's official position is small, his influence is not small. "Brother Fan" Liu Shangshu "Fan Yongdou took a deep look. "Brother Fan, between you and me, why do you have to come to such a complicated courtesy." Liu followed the wind and pulled Fan Yongdou's sleeve and walked into the house. The two walked into the inner room, and Fan Yongdou thanked him again: "Thank you Liu Shangshu for taking care of the Fan family in ordering armor." "Because Fan Yongdou was an official in the court, he was not allowed to do business according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and the weapon workshop of the Liu family was transferred to Fan Yongdou's eldest son Fan Chuanjin, but it was actually Fan Yongdou who was in charge." It's not me who takes care of you" Liu Suifeng waved his hand: "It's that the two of them don't have the courage of you, just took over and expanded the scale of the workshop, your Fan family workshop has at least 20,000 craftsmen" Fan Yongdou smiled on his face, stretched out four fingers, and said: "Even the Hangzhou workshop, nearly 40,000 people" "You are not small" Liu Suifeng said in a playful tone, which was actually praise. These were originally Liu Quan's belongings, but now they have been transferred to Fan Yongdou, and Liu Quan has sacrificed a lot for his position as the secretary of the military department, and he remembers it all. "Now no matter how much you produce armor, the military department will all need it, but Brother Fan must not forget that the battle of the Northern Expedition will eventually come to an end. You spread the stall too big, and it will be turned into a loss-making business when the time comes" Fan Yongdou laughed: "Liu Shangshu, some people say that I am an official and a monkey, but I have been in business since I was a child. After the success of the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Government, it is necessary to conquer Liaodong and drive Mongolia away, haven't you seen the map in the Regent's book? Maybe you have to go to Nanyang, the armor and firearms are useless, "Mu Monkey and the crown is a mockery of Fan Yongdou by Jiangnan Shizi behind his back. He has no fame or merit, only a dark past, and he is an official in the household department, and he is inevitably ridiculed by unambitious scholars. Fan Yongdou is very open-minded, and businessmen always value harmony, but not to the point of smearing the phlegm spit out by others on his face. Liu drank tea quietly with the wind, waiting for Fan Yongdou to find out what he meant. "Liu Shangshu, we are all old men who follow the regent" Fan Yongdou began to reminisce. Liu Suifeng laughed in his heart: "I, what kind of old man are you who followed the regent, but the ghost sent a god to marry a good sister." You're probably the old man who followed Dorgon. But he silently spit out the crumbs of tea leaves on his tongue and listened quietly. The dispute between the household department and the official department also knows that Ma Shiying has found out the Donglin Party, and Liu Shangshu can't stand by and watch, "It turned out to be a lobbyist for Zong Mao, and Zong Mao's wife was originally the maid of Fan Yongdou's family, and it is not surprising that they are close." Liu Suifeng asked, "Where can I get my hands on?" "This old fox" Fan Yongdou scolded in his heart, and said: "Liu Shangshu can't see it, now it is Ma Tianguan and the Donglin Party who have joined forces to attack the Jin people in the north, and the Donglin Party can join forces with the Eunuch Party, it is really a miracle in the world." "Liu Suifeng is a Jin person, this is an indelible mark on his body. He couldn't refuse Fan Yongdou and separate himself from Zong Mao. "What does Zong Shangshu want me to do?" He didn't say Fan Langzhong, he directly mentioned Zong Mao, and opened the skylight to say bright words. Fan Yongdou said: "Everyone knows the cause and effect, if the military department can make a record and mention the lack of crude iron in the weapon workshop, it would be great."

Liu Suifeng laughed: "Where will the regent lack this performance, just look at the armor and weapons from the military department, and the lead, gunpowder, and Qi knives in the army are not complete." He started with a negative attitude, and finally said with a positive color: "Okay, I will have a performance" Fan Yongdou was overjoyed: "So the best" Liu Suifeng has a lot of power in the court, although the official position is big, such as Zhang Huan, the governor of Sichuan, and many Taoist platforms and prefects in Huguang are his subordinates. Zong Mao invited Fan Yongdou over to find out the wind, he and Liu Suifeng have worked together for many years, but they don't have a deep friendship. "Brother Fan, don't you worry, don't you believe that the regent will see everything?" Fan Yongdou nodded hurriedly: "Believe, believe" The two drank tea and reminisced, Fan Yongdou said goodbye, and Liu sent him to the door with the wind. It was cloudy, the sky was dark, and the Fan family's family was guarding the door with a lantern and a sedan chair. Liu Suifeng waited for the light of Fan's Mansion to disappear before turning around and returning to the mansion. Zong Mao is a fan of the authorities, and the regent obviously wants to reuse him, so why bother to beg himself. It suddenly occurred to him that Zong Mao would come to beg him, indicating that Zong Mao no longer blindly trusted the regent. Is this the shadow left by Zhang Mingzhen's case?
