Chapter 207 took the initiative to show goodwill

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Xie got up early in the morning and took a car to Dengzhou City. At present, Dengzhou said that Chen Xie and Zhang Keda joined forces to divide up, but in fact, Chen Xie's army was already controlling zhì, whether it was compared to the army or silver, Zhang Keda was not comparable. You don't have to worry about any gods to sit on the ground and divide the silver, and Zhang Keda has nothing to disagree with.

Entering the city, Chen Xie went straight to Zhang Yao's house, and after a New Year's greeting, Zhang Yao talked about the past year, and couldn't help but worry: "Just one Kong Youde will erode half of Shandong, and the morale of the Ming army will be defeated." Yang He, the governor of Suining, Shaanxi, and Jin, had a bad thing, dismissed the official and was exiled, and the policy of appeasement was completely defeated. Only then did the imperial court make up its mind to exterminate it, with Hong Chengchou as the governor of the three sides. In June, Xiong Mingyu, the new secretary of the military department, was worried that the Liaodong front was too long, and ordered the Dalinghe army to retreat alone, but Zu Dashou insisted on staying, and Sun Ge Lao supported him. In September, His Majesty took the eunuch Zhang Yixian as the prime minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household money and grain, and many ministers and workers gave bitter advice, but His Majesty did not obey. In November, the eunuch Li Maoqi was sent to supervise and inspect the tea and horse trade in Shaanxi. His Majesty re-activated the internal supervision as the overseer of various places, and there was no one in the world who was not worried. ”

Zhang Yao said this, drinking tea slowly. Chen Xie listened carefully, he basically knew these things, Xiong Mingyu had pointed out that the Liaodong defense line was too long, and ordered to abandon the Daling River, but it was the first time he had heard of it. Zhang Yao's focus is on the emperor's renewed trust in the eunuchs and the stationing of eunuchs. This matter seems to be very normal for Chen Xie, which is the inevitable result of Chongzhen's disappointment with Wenchen. Zhang Yao was probably worried about the emergence of a second Wei Zhongxian, and Chen Xie was noncommittal about this.

The focus of Chen Xie's concern. It's still its own intelligence network, and now it seems that there is a big problem. At the beginning of the new year, this matter must be taken seriously and a more efficient intelligence system must be created.

Zhang Yao was still immersed in his own worries, and Chen Xie had already wandered to a distance of 108,000 miles. Zhang Yao thought that he was also worried about this matter, after all, it was difficult for a creature like a eunuch to deal with, and it was difficult for a courtier to deal with the greedy and arrogant people, the identity of the slave of the Son of Heaven. Chen Xie is a local tyrant, so he is naturally the most worried about eunuchs.

"Sihua. Don't worry about it. Even if it is a slave of the Son of Heaven, why is he afraid on the ground in Dengzhou? Zhang Yao said this very hard, this old gentleman has always been very hard.

Chen Xie came back from his distraction and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Zhang." I've got to take a trip to Sweetwater Alley. Zhang Yao knew that he was going to see Sun Yuanhua. He nodded and said, "Go ahead." It's not too early. You have a lot of things to do today, so I won't keep you, and I won't be so busy in a few days. Come home for a day, your aunt will be chattering every day. ”

Chen Xie got up to say goodbye, and Zhang Yao sent it to the door before returning. When the carriage arrived at Sweet Water Lane, Chen Xie got out of the car and walked, and a gust of wind through the alley swept in, burrowing into the collar, a chill permeated, and he shivered all over his body. Looking up at the deep and crooked alleys, Chen Xie seemed to see the twists and turns of the future years of the Ming Dynasty.

After a short period of rapid rise, Chen Xie also faced many problems. Although the materials of modern society are easy to use, most of them are not renewable in the Ming Dynasty. In this way, as the number of troops increases, the consumption increases, and there are problems in all aspects. As far as Chen Xie's pillar army is concerned, the organization of logistics, transportation capacity, and so on will face a huge test.

Assuming that in the future it will be put into the battlefield of the thieves, the attrition of the existing army will undoubtedly be a kind of logistical torture. In this regard, Chen Xie must make a contingency, and he can no longer fight a tyrant-style war like before. The question of how to make more effective use of existing capabilities must also be carefully addressed.

Four guards in front and four in the back, hugged Chen Xie to the door of the small courtyard at the end of the alley. Knocking on the door gently, a twelve or thirteen-year-old maid came out of it, stepped forward to open the door and said: "The slave family has seen Master Chen, our master has orders, you can only invite inside." Chen Xie quickly rushed around to take a look, and he didn't believe that there was no Sun Yuanhua's pro-army nearby.

"It's hard Ju'er, and there are no good things to stay on your body during the New Year, you can take this beaded flower and wear it." Chen Xie casually handed over a pearl flower from modern society that was worth no more than 100 yuan. The little maid happily took it, led the way in front of her, and when she turned the corner of the screen, she said in a low voice: "Our master is in a bad mood, and he has been looking forward to Master Chen's coming." ”

Chen Xie smiled at her, the maid was very interesting. Sun Yuanhua's skills as an official are average, but he is still very strong in professional fields such as cannon casting. Compared with other professional bureaucrats, Chen Xie hopes that Sun Yuanhua will continue to serve as the governor. The suppression of military generals in the Ming Dynasty was extremely cruel, and if someone else was the governor, Chen Xie would never have such a comfortable life now, how could there be a civil official who did not take the initiative to make trouble? Even if you can't help Chen Xie, you can find a lot of trouble.

At present, for Sun Yuanhua, it can be regarded as a difficult hurdle to pass, Kong Youde was brought to Dengzhou by him, and the Phi Dao Mutiny under his command, although Shang Keyi helped Huang Long stabilize the situation, and now the imperial court has a lot of criticism about Phi Dao. Especially Huanglong, the chief soldier, who concealed the soldiers' rewards, deducted military salaries, and filled his private pockets, he was definitely going to be taken down. According to Jinyiwei's tip-off, Xiong Mingyu proposed to abolish the general army of Phi Dao, or even give up Phi Dao and other places.

Judging from this matter, Xiong Mingyu is also a person who talks on paper.

Sun Yuanhua, who was dressed in casual clothes, stood behind the curtain, smiled at Chen Xie, and after Chen Xie saw the ceremony, he invited him to sit on the kang. When Chen Xie went to Dayu, he took over Sun Yuanhua's concubine, which made Chen Xie vigilant. The maid said a few words to Changsheng at the door, invited him to the next room, and when the concubine came to greet him, he presented a gift list without mentioning it.

The hot wine and hot dishes in the early morning were put on the table, and drinking was naturally not the point, Sun Yuanhua just took a sip and said: "Sihua, someone in the court wants to withdraw Phi Dao, and this constitution does not dare to agree. However, Huanglong is incompetent, and no one can lead the affairs of the islands of the Dongjiang River nowadays. ”

Chen Xie was silent for a while, and said: "Lord Zhongcheng, the humble position is only a martial artist, and I dare not speak falsely about such a big thing." ”

Sun Yuanhua smiled: "Sihua can't say it, who else can say it?" This time, Sihua should be the first to calm down Kong Youde's change. It's ridiculous that Yu Dacheng actually led people to Changyi, wanting to share the credit of my Denglai. If in peacetime, a little military merit will be divided, and it is not a big deal. At present, Sun himself is difficult to protect, where can he have the spare strength to save him. If it weren't for Sihua's battle, Denglai would be eroded, and Yuanhua would be in danger. ”

When Chen Xie heard this, he couldn't help but express his position, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Sun Yuanhua waving his hand.

"Sihua, are you willing to take over Phi Dao?" Sun Yuanhua threw out these words, and Chen Xie's heart was shocked when he heard it. Sun Yuanhua thought about this matter for a long time and knew Chen Xie's worries, so he thought about it more thoroughly. So he continued: "If the imperial court insists on abolishing the general army of Phi Dao, Yuanhua thinks that Sihua can be the post of the chief soldier of Denglai and lead the various armies of Phi Dao. ”

Chen Xie understood that Sun Yuanhua was not only repaying his hand, but also using his strength to fight for one impression in front of Chongzhen.

"The two adults, the chief soldier and the deputy general, where are they placed?" Since it was a transaction, Chen Xie was not polite, and his words were very direct.

"Shandong is eroded in a small half, with the spirit of today, it is inevitable that someone Yu will be imprisoned to ask for the crime, and the post of Shandong General Soldier is still in dispute. This constitution intends to use Sihua as the general soldier of Denglai, and Zhang Keda as the excerpt of the general army of Shandong, and play it two days later. Deputy General Zhang, who was born in Phi Dao, is already extraordinarily generous if the court does not ask him about his crimes. "At the moment, Zhang Tao is going to be unlucky. This bastard is indeed unlucky, and he has made excuses for going to sea several times, saying that he has encountered wind and waves. A few ships are lost today, and a few tomorrow. This also leads to go by land.

Chen Xie understood that Sun Yuanhua would not care about Yu Dacheng's life or death in order to protect himself. Not only that, but also the matter of recommending Chen Xie as the chief soldier to win the good impression of Emperor Chongzhen. The reason is very simple, for Chen Xie's knighthood before, Chongzhen was beaten by the joint efforts of the ministers. The matter of Chen Xie's promotion to the general army is relatively logical. As for Zhang Keda, it doesn't matter where he goes, I recommend it easily, and I don't want silver.

At this point, there's not much to say. Chen Xie promised to come down, which would be good for everyone. When the farewell came out, Chen Xie couldn't help but show a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Sun Yuanhua was now on fire under his buttocks, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to benefit himself so much. It seems that there are a lot of excerpts in the DPRK and China to impeach him, and this old gentleman can't hold on. That's fine, but of course you have to work hard.

When I think of something hard, the first thing that comes to mind is Motel. A few years ago, this gentleman came with a letter mentioning the meeting with the bigwigs. Xiong Bingbu is kind and kind of words, saying that he can move around more in the future. Wen Tiren asked about Dengzhou, and Mo Tai talked about Chen Xie's exclusion from Dengzhou City more skillfully. Then Wen Tiren didn't say anything, and his meaning was unclear.

The last point is Zhou Yanru, this old guy is too much of a thing, Mo Tai just went a little late, standing at the gate until midnight, and he couldn't get in. The specific reason Mo Tai also mentioned, and Chen Xie still had a bit of a headache when he thought about this matter. Zhou Yanru is still there at the moment, and in general, the emperor is still more trusting, and he doesn't care about his Donglin background. This is also the main factor why he can bring down a cabinet elder and a military department secretary.

According to the course of history, his Shoufu could still work for a while, and then he was poisoned by Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren is the real power, he has been the first assistant in the Chongzhen Dynasty for the longest time.

When I arrived at Ying Niang's courtyard, this is Chen Xie's foothold in Dengzhou, Chen Xie didn't have any military reserves in Dengzhou City before, and he still had some scruples about doing something. Now it is much more convenient for Chen Xie to do things, especially the water village and fortress, Chen Xie firmly grasps it in his hands.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Green Jade came out to look, saw Chen Xie's carriage, and hurriedly sent the maid to report the news. After a while, Ying Niang came out and stood on the side of the door to greet her, and when Chen Xie got out of the car, he unexpectedly saw Wanyu following behind. Why is this woman there? In Chen Xie's heart, this type of body like bean sprouts has never had a sense of zài. (To be continued......)
