Chapter 401 Old Ministry
When it was time to set off, Zheng Guobao found that there was one more acquaintance. The general of the Fubiao battalion practiced Tianfeng, and was ordered by the governor of Henan to lead 1,500 pacesetters to escort his uncle to Shaolin and participate in the martial arts conference.
It is said that Zheng Guobao is definitely the benefactor of practicing Tianfeng, if there is no Zheng Guobao's protection, even if he is a disciple of Wang Zhenren, he is just a loose official with a position and no power, and he cannot integrate into the official and military system. It is purely delusional to want to grasp the power and become a real officer who leads the army and manages the army.
It is precisely because Lian Tianfeng is a person of the uncle of the country that he has the label of Zheng Dang on his head, and it is much more convenient to act in this place of Henan. After all, after the Henan Mutiny, the whole of Henan has been run by the Zheng Party as its own basic market, and an official and businessman who does not give face to his uncle cannot gain a foothold in Henan. It is very convenient to practice the Tianfeng Department, regardless of whether it asks for food or salary. Even the governor of Henan was very polite to Lian Tianfeng, so that he, an officer from the rivers and lakes, could be regarded as showing a big face in front of his colleagues.
"Uncle Guo, this time, the lower officials also want to recruit some people to be soldiers among these young men. I've also heard that the imperial court is going to use force against Banzhou, so why don't you transfer me over. Just those natives of Banzhou, practice someone to beat. And the female straight man, the Hongyi person, I'm not afraid of them. ”
Zheng Guobao knew that since he met Shuerhaqi, Lian Tianfeng's problem with Tartar began to attack again. What's even worse is that Fangzheng's mobilization work for this martial arts conference is too good, and Fujian Southern Shaolin also came to cheer. They were accompanied by a few blonde, blue-eyed, cloaked and iron-clad Franc swordsmen. These people admired the culture of the Central Plains and wanted to open their eyes. By the way, I saw that the martial arts of the Central Plains are broad and profound, and compared with their own cultivation, which one is more clever.
Lian Tianfeng was going to kill when he saw the Tartars, and he was naturally even more unpleasant when he saw the Yiren. Fortunately, he has been an officer for these years, and the edges and corners of his body have been sharpened a little, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have used force a long time ago. He came with troops this time, and he was originally responsible for welcoming his Wudang elder, but when they met, they learned that the head of Wudang had never even been to Wudang Mountain. Instead, he asked his uncle for an order. Go to Banshu to report the service.
Zheng Guobao believed in Lian Tianfeng's loyalty, but he still asked, "What?" You know all about the imperial court's move to Banzhou in Henan? This news is spreading fast enough, it seems that Banshu is over there. It's time to get the letter. ”
"Yes, Uncle Guo. It's not easy for me to keep this matter a secret. I have heard this letter from the governor. However, in the officialdom of Henan, each has its own channels, and they are basically discussing whether the imperial court will fight or not. How to fight if you want to fight. Which troops to transfer, how much grain to use, how much time to use, and how many soldiers and horses can be folded to win. There are also people who have already opened a handicap in this area, and it is very lively. ”
Zheng Guobao didn't expect that the officialdom of the empire had reached this point. In the past, it was said that the civil official system had been infiltrated into a sieve, which was usually regarded as the malicious speculation of Jinyiwei, with the heart of a villain, to live the belly of a gentleman. This time, the leak of the Banzhou Raiders seems to be the charge to prove it. I believe that in the future, whose soldiers will be transferred by the imperial court, and how many soldiers will be transferred, Banzhou will be able to get the letter first without waiting for the officers to know. Fortunately, the court does not rely on any tricks or secret marches to fight now, otherwise, it will have to suffer greatly.
"Okay, if Brother Lian wants to recruit, I have no opinion. When the time comes, if you have any shortcomings, tell me and I'll help you find a way. But these chivalrous young people are all delicate and expensive heroes, unrestrained, lawless, and pay attention to a casual behavior. Such a person, when he enters the army, what use can he do, don't let them bring good soldiers to the point of being bad when the time comes. ”
Lian Tianfeng smiled confidently, "This is easy to do." There is a secret recipe in our army, and if you go down with a stick and a whip, there is no one who can't control it. Those chivalrous young people are so-called casual or free, but they have never been beaten. As soon as they are court-martialed, they will be honest. If it doesn't work, just cut a few. Whoever dares to run, directly pull out the camp for three days, and then run, directly chop, to ensure that no one dares to think of being a deserter. In my standard battalion, there are the old guys of the Fulong Army who were the generals at the beginning, who are quick to catch deserters. Fight those young people, one top three, don't be afraid of them making trouble. It was only after I became a soldier that I learned that there was no one who could not be controlled by military law. ”
"In case there is a young man from your Wudang family, or a child from the Wudang faction who is close to the branch to join the army, you will also do it?"
"There's nothing to go down to, nothing to do. When the time comes, I will personally enforce the law and go down with a stick, and they will promise to have a thicker friendship with my fellow students, and it is estimated that I will have to call my brother to spare his life, and promise to see me in the future than to see his own father. ”
Zheng Guobao looked at Lian Tianfeng and nodded secretly, this martial arts hero seems to have really changed. In the past, he could be regarded as a man in the rivers and lakes, but now he has completely become a soldier. His team is said to have more than 900 troops, but he is willing to pat his chest and say that it is 1,005, and this kung fu of drinking the blood of soldiers can be regarded as a practice. Fang Zheng saw Lian Tianfeng and remembered the past, and his heart was a little guilty. But the master is a cultivated person, but on the surface, he is a group of harmony, holding the hand of practicing Tianfeng, and he has no mouth to be grateful. He also ordered people to lead cattle and buy sheep, reward the three armies, and praised the rising star in his mouth, Wulin hoped, as if the matter of sending people to kill and practice Tianfeng had nothing to do with his old abbot.
When she came to the foot of Shaomu Mountain, next to the Sword Solving Stone, Ren Yingying was a little excited. "Husband, do you know that this Shaolin faction has a rule, those who come must unarm their weapons and must not carry a blade up the mountain. In addition, women are not allowed to enter the temple. As a result, for the sake of this rule, countless women come to Shaolin every year, in order to break in, save face, and become famous. The most important thing is that it's exciting. ”
"Stimulation? In fact, this thing is the most exciting for our Shaolin people. "There are also people in the Jinyi Guard who are disciples of Shaolin lay families, and they are the most knowledgeable about the affairs here." What weapons are dissolved, all of them are fake. The officials who came, or simply came to the heavenly family, did anyone dare to let the guards untie the sword? Besides, female dependents are not allowed to enter the temple, like this martial arts conference, are those female dependents not allowed to enter the temple? You see, the palace master of Baifeng Palace, and the nine female disciples under her, aren't they all swaggering in? There is also Ning Nuxia, now that people are the heads of the Wuyue faction, they don't let people enter the temple, what else is going on in this martial arts conference? Whether it is to untie the sword or not to let the female dependents enter the temple, it is purely a gimmick. This is a rental service, you untie the weapon, pay some money, and return it to you when you go up the mountain. Don't let the female dependents enter the temple, in order to attract some women to break into the temple, this Shaolin pass is wide and then strict, it is easy to get in and difficult to come out, if it is too beautiful, and there is no root, don't think of it. In the first ancestral nunnery, shave their heads, make friends with the pilgrims, talk about their hearts, make some contributions to the temple, and when there are no guests, they talk about Buddhism with their brothers and uncles, which is their life. As for the gatekeeper, that is the only pleasure of our lay disciples, one is to see the beauty, and the other is to touch the little hands when they come to the tricks, which can be regarded as a solution to slander. After all, if you want to go to the bottom of the mountain to spend, you have to be rich. When you don't have money, you can only rely on this to enjoy it. ”
Ren Yingying didn't know the way here, and suddenly became interested. "Oh? It turns out that this is the case in the Shaolin Temple? What about the Scripture Pavilion? What about the sweeping monks? What seventy-two stunts, also fake? ”
"Fake, fake can't be fake. Shaolin's kung fu is passed on by word of mouth, and there are few words. What I am afraid of is that literate monks steal martial arts, and the founders of those martial arts may not know how to read, where do they come from. There are seventy-two stunts, they are all the leaders of the Warrior Monk Order, and they have learned from their elders, you will have three, I will have two, and the total is much more than seventy-two. However, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is the first key place in my Shaolin, and whoever dares to trespass will inevitably resist desperately. Because what is placed there is the foundation of my Shaolin fortune, the basis of inheritance, and I can't afford to lose anything. ”
Blue Phoenix listened to the spirit and hurriedly asked, "So important?" But the seal of your Shaolin abbot has been used by the heads of the past generations to pass it on, just like the dog beating stick of the beggar gang. ”
Biyun recently listened to Liu Jing tell her a story, and was completely fascinated by the story, so she opened her mouth and said: "I know, what is placed in it must be the tin staff and robe worn by Tang Sanzang when he studied the scriptures, yes or no?" ”
"The two ladies misunderstood, what was placed in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was not a robe, and naturally it was not a seal of the head of the house, let alone a dog stick or anything, and in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, it was the title deed." (To be continued......)
