Chapter 66: Cai Maode's Promise
What these scouts were doing Zhou Huchen knew very well, and he decided not to continue to get closer.
Zhou Huchen knew that it would be difficult to do it after he passed, this was Zhou Huchen's own rules, and letting Cai Maode come over would set an example for the soldiers, if he didn't let it go, it would undoubtedly offend Cai Maode even more, so Zhou Huchen simply stopped moving forward, and it was more appropriate to wait for Zhou Yuji and Yan Su, the prefect of Datong.
Cai Maode was very depressed and a little angry, is this in Shanxi? Is he still the governor of Shanxi?
The highest administrative and military governor of his province actually wanted to open a customs clearance document for himself aggrievedly, but unfortunately and hatefully, Mr. Cai worked hard and gritted his teeth to issue a customs clearance document for himself, and these Zhou Yuji's subordinate scouts still didn't give him face, so they didn't let him go, they just didn't let him go. The reason is simple; We don't know the boss, we don't know these officers and soldiers, and we can't read, so please keep waiting.
At the same time that Cai Maode was becoming more and more depressed, these fierce scouts also made him deeply touched, mighty and unyielding! This is a real soldier!
There were more and more scouts galloping on horseback, and these soldiers were without exception, they were expressionless in the face of these thousands of troops, and this time, Cai Maode fully realized Zhou Yuji's rigorous management of the army. This really gave him relief and hope. These sturdy cavalry scouts are well-armed, well-armed, and full of spirit, and looking at the soldiers they lead, they are no different from being called Hanako.
The soldiers brought back by Cai Maode were puzzled, it was a miracle that this stern old man did not get angry......
Finally, after a long time, Zhou Yuji and Yan Su, the prefect of Datong, arrived.
Of course, Yan Su knew his lord Shangguan Governor, and after seeing the ceremony, Yan Su hurriedly introduced Cai Maode to Zhou Yuji, and kept greeting each other, and everyone greeted each other. In order to be closer to Zhou Yuji, Cai Maode also specially praised Zhou Huchen, because this little tiger is very famous in Beijing, and of course, his reputation seems to be very good.
After a routine etiquette, finally, Governor Cai Maode Cai can pass this level.
The long line began to move, and Cai Maode no longer sat in a sedan chair, taking advantage of the opportunity, he wanted to nag with Zhou Yuji, which could be regarded as further contacting the relationship.
Riding on a tall horse, Cai Maode turned his head and asked Zhou Yuji, who was a horse's head behind him: "Cui'an, can you hear about Sun Yingyuan and Sun Marshal?" β
"What's wrong with Sun Shuai? Please also let the Inspector know. β
"In the battle of Luoshan in Henan, Sun Shuai was alone, so he went."
Sun Yingyuan is Zhou Yuji's old chief, and he has always valued Zhou Yuji, but he didn't expect to leave like this. Zhou Yuji was silent at first, and then, he waved his hand to stop the team: "Sun Shuai is gone, please take off your hat!" β
The soldiers, including the civilian officials led by Cai Maode, all began to take off their crowns and mourn without exception.
The man bleeds without tears, the old chief who has always had high hopes for himself is gone, and Zhou Yuji must give him the respect of a soldier, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort in his heart.
"Li Zicheng?" After a long time, Zhou Yuji asked:
"It's Li Zicheng."
β¦β¦
This topic is a bit heavy, but Cai Maode must tell Zhou Yuji that he knows that the relationship between Zhou Yuji and Sun Yingyuan is extraordinary, and Sun Yingyuan is still Zhou Yuji's benefactor. With Zhou Yuji's temper and connections, he was able to be promoted to the former deputy general, and even promoted to the chief soldier of Shanxi, which was not unrelated to Sun Yingyuan's strong recommendation and help......
"Zhang Dasima's situation is not very good now! I'm afraid that the defeat of Hongluo Mountain this time will be affected, and the military arrangements of Lord Shoufu are not easy for the old man to get by a thousand troops, and it will be difficult to find! The old man will not let Cui'an leave Shanxi! β
Cai Maode spoke again, this topic is still heavy, Da Sima is an ancient name with respect, and the Zhang Da Sima in Cai Maode's mouth is Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Cai Maode knows that Zhou Yuji is Zhang Guowei's hardcore, and now, Zhang Guowei's situation is not good, Cai Maode is afraid that Zhou Yuji will be implicated and lose this great general.
And Cai Maode's meaning was also revealed, he Cai Maode will fully support Zhou Yuji, do his best to protect him, and prevent others from attacking him, Shanxi can be his protective umbrella.
The political struggle in the court is so helpless, in fact, what Cai Maode said is a bit gloomy, because the main responsibility for this defeat is not Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the military department, but Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the dynasty. The meaning expressed by Cai Maode is obvious, Zhou Yanru may be about to step down, the court will be temporarily chaotic for a period of time, and the gladiatorial battle in which countless people participate will begin, and no one will care about Zhou Yuji, the military attachΓ©, for the time being, so Cai Maode has the confidence to make this promise to Zhou Yuji.
"Mr. Xie informed! The hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court were defeated like this? Zhou Yuji understood, of course, he couldn't say something in front of so many people that was caught, but quickly changed the topic:
The two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly, Cai Maode relaxed, and he began to explain along the topic: "Actually, how can there be hundreds of thousands, the imperial court uses soldiers like this to say that there are more than 200,000 people at most, as for the combat power, Cui'an should be very clear"
An hour or so ahead, a large expanse of endless houses appeared in Cai Maode's sight.
"The population of Datong seems to have increased a lot! The old man remembers that he came to Datong Mansion a year ago, and there are not so many houses in this vicinity? β
"Boss, you don't know that this is not the people's residence, this is my military camp! The newly recruited soldier battalion" Zhou Yuji looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly began to explain:
"Oh" Cai Maode was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "How many soldiers have been recruited?" Cui'an hurriedly told the old man! β
"That is, 20,000, or 30,000, ask my little tiger, I really can't remember clearly!" After speaking, Zhou Yuji turned his head: "Xiaohu come over and call back to the boss!" β
Cai Maode's eyes widened, this is too unexpected, twenty or thirty thousand soldiers! With Zhou Yuji's combat ability, these soldiers
Zhou Huchen was not far behind the two, and when he heard his father Zhou Yuji greeting, he promised and lifted the horse forward.
"Give the boss a reply about our recruitment, and answer in detail!" Seeing Zhou Huchen coming, Zhou Yuji was relieved, because he was not good at words and was naturally a little insensitive to numbers:
"The tiger father has no dogs, this little tiger is very good! He can even be in charge of recruitment! β
"The boss praised the boy falsely!" Zhou Huchen doesn't want Cai Maode to find fault, there are too many places to use this in the future, so he must be humble:
"Xiaohu told the old man, how many soldiers are there this time?"
Zhou Huchen clasped his fists on the horse and saluted: "Back to the boss, this recruitment began before the year, a total of 10,000 soldiers were recruited before the year, and it started again at the end of the first month of the year, so far, a total of more than 32,000 soldiers have been recruited, plus the number of soldiers brought from Beijing, my Datong army has more than 48,000 soldiers. β
Suddenly, Zhou Huchen remembered that he seemed to be mentioning the matter of "looking for donations" everywhere, if Cai Maode knew that the situation would be bad, so it could be regarded as a preventive injection for Cai Maode, so that he could be psychologically prepared, therefore, Zhou Huchen hurriedly added: "By the way, my lord, while the kid is recruiting, the most commendable thing is my businessmen from all walks of life in Shanxi, these 'people are righteous businessmen'!" They have 'donated' a lot of food and salary to our army, and there are too many righteous deeds to raise! So the kid asked people to set up a monument to these 'righteous businessmen' who 'donated' food, and also distributed plaques and pennants for a big commendation!
The businessmen in Shanxi are so well aware of the righteousness that the kid has mixed feelings and almost cries bitterly! Now, with the help of these 'righteous merchants', my father and my son are also full of confidence in the future development of our army, my lord, you must write to the imperial court to commend such righteous deeds, and you must not let this righteous act be buried! My father, the soldiers in the army, and those 'righteous businessmen' must be grateful to the boss, and ask the boss to fulfill it! β
"Yes, yes! I didn't expect it to be so good! My businessmen in Shanxi are also so knowledgeable and generous! The old man must write to the court for commendation, and never let such a righteous act be buried, and the old man congratulates the court! Congratulations to the thousands of people in Shanxi! β
Cai Maode, who was worried about strengthening his military equipment, began to shine with his eyes, but he didn't expect it! It's only been a few days since I left Shanxi, and the soldiers have been there, and the food and salary are also available, which is simply so exciting!
Zhou Huchen didn't mention it, but when it came to the matter of "donation", Zhou Yuji had a chill and a cold sweat.
I can't hide the truth of this matter! I'm afraid it will soon reach the ears of this governor, and what is even more unfortunate is that Cai Maode did not return to his Taiyuan Mansion, but actually came to Datong, isn't this unlucky?
