Chapter 54 Appointment

In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that Zhang Biwu went to take office, and Zhang Biwu would definitely suffer a lot of obstacles when he went to work, but he didn't mention it for the time being, but now he said that Li Zhengming failed, and Kong Youde hurriedly went to Huang Taiji to ask for guilt.

As soon as Huang Taiji heard about Zhang Biwu's suppression of the mutiny, he was silent, and he didn't blame Kong Youde, but said: "Respectful to the king, I believe that you can get rid of this great trouble for me!" Besides, didn't your men say it before they died? I hope you can avenge him! You can do it! Isn't it? ”

Kong Youde was flattered, he didn't expect that Huang Taiji not only didn't blame him, but also continued to entrust him with important tasks!

Kong Youde was grateful, and kept kowtowing to Huang Taiji, saying that even death could not repay Huang Taiji's Longen.

Huang Taiji helped him up, and he told Kong Youde that he would trust him and respect him as always. When Kong Youde withdrew, Huang Taiji thought to himself: "Zhang Biwu, don't think this matter is over!" Who are you loyal to? It's the suspicious emperor! Hum! Wait and see! Hee-hee! Blame you for choosing the wrong master! ”

As Huang Taiji said, Chongzhen was very satisfied with Zhang Biwu's performance, but he was also suspicious.

Chongzhen smiled and said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Companion, I just went to a Lu Xiangsheng, but I didn't expect that I would come to another Zhang Biwu!" Ha Lu Ha! I'm the true Son! I know that Heaven will never abandon me! I will definitely let the stars come down to earth to assist me! Ha Lu Ha! Just ......"

Chongzhen was excited, but he still looked embarrassed and said, "Is it just that Zhang Biwu is loyal to me?" The courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, I can't trust them! I really can't rest assured! ”

Wang Chengen already knew what Lu Dao Chongzhen wanted him to do, so he said: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Cao has already sent someone to spy on Zhang Biwu!" It's just that Grandpa Cao wants to resign......"

Chongzhen deserves it quickly: "Don't approve!" The imperial court is in need of employing people! How could Cao Banban leave me? He helped me spy on Zhang Biwu, that's good! I am very satisfied with this! ”

Wang Chengen said again: "Your Majesty, you should have a good rest first!" You're always busy with state affairs......"

"Alas!" Chongzhen sighed and said, "Cheng'en, you don't know who is a courtier of the Manchu Dynasty, who can worry about me?" They are all party members! The view of the portal is too strong! None of them are good courtiers who can satisfy me! I can only do it myself! I must revitalize the Ming Dynasty! ”

When Chongzhen said this, he revealed a firm gaze, he took a sip of tea, refreshed himself, and then shook his head, stretched his waist, dispelled the sleepy insects, and continued to review the recital.

At this time, it was late at night, and the sound of beating the watch kept coming, and there was a slogan in the palace: "The world is peaceful!" "Yes! Chongzhen worked hard to make the world peaceful as soon as possible! But only half of this Taiping is still peaceful!

The situation in the north of the Ming Dynasty is critical, and the south is singing and dancing, just like the peaceful and prosperous times, the literati did not have the horror of the Qing army invading the north before, afraid that the Qing army would take the opportunity to go south, and now they continue to live a life of drunken dreams and death, but there is only one person who is not like this, this person is Gu Jikun, who has been renamed Gu Yanwu.

He was chatting with Chen Zilong and Yang Youlong over wine.

Chen Zilong gave a thumbs up and praised again and again: "Zhang Guoxiong is really the hero of the country!" With only 700 men, he bravely broke into the more than 50,000 wolf-like Qing troops, and miraculously killed the Qing army's chief general Yue Tuo, who was known for his bravery. That's amazing! O heroes of the world! Ha Lu Ha! If we have more people like Zhang Guoxiong, why worry about the Tartar? Why worry about the troubles, how can the state affairs be wrong? ”

Yang Youlong also said: "Yes! Zhang Guoxiong achieved this feat, and he was given the grace of the emperor to express the word Guoxiong. I heard that he put down the mutiny again, and this time the mutiny was planned by the Tartars! This time the quelling of the mutiny was brave and strategic, which is remarkable! Capture Wen Tiren, and then enter the tiger's den to take the head of the general, which quells the mutiny! It's really admirable! ”

Gu Yanwu also smiled, he decided in his heart that Zhang Biwu was a person worthy of his service, he wanted to wait for Zhang Biwu's letter now, he thought of Zhang Biwu's account to contribute to Zhang Biwu! Death for a confidant!

Chen Zilong and Yang Youlong both said: "Zhang Biwu must be another Lu Xiangsheng!" No! It's not just another Lu Xiangsheng! Lu Xiangsheng died in Jiazhuang, but Zhang Biwu will not! He will be a new generation of famous generals, comparable to the famous generals of the past! What a blessing we were to be friends with him! ”

When others heard this, they nodded again, and they also agreed, but they regretted that Zhang Biwu did not have a good relationship with him when he was in Nanjing.

And Liu Ru is happy, because Zhang Biwu is as she expected, he has become famous all over the world, and he has done a very good job! Although Liu Ru still misses Zhang Biwu in his heart, Zhang Biwu is also a general! She has to find someone more stable, isn't Qian Qianyi such a person now?

Liu Ru is already with Qian Qianyi, this is something that many people already know, and it is impossible for her to go to Zhang Biwu half-heartedly. What's more, Liu Ru knows that Qian Qianyi cherishes her more than Zhang Biwu.

After all, Qian Qianyi is old, and he has also lost his wife, unlike Zhang Biwu's wife who is still alive, I heard that Zhang Biwu's wife is still a resolute woman, like this, she can't choose Zhang Biwu anymore, she can only bury this feeling deep in her heart.

Liu Ru sat on the side, listening to Chen Zilong and them talking about Zhang Biwu, and Zhang Biwu's voice and smile kept appearing in front of him.

At this time, Gu Yanwu stood up and said, "I want to find Zhang Biwu!" People's eyes fell on him in unison, he went to find Zhang Biwu? Will the other party be able to accommodate him? Liu Ru thought of the past incident that was not tolerated by Chen Zilong's wife, and was very seriously injured, she naturally didn't want such a thing to happen again.

At this moment, a subordinate came and said that there was a letter from Gu Yanwu. Gu Yanwu took it and opened it to see that it was a letter from Zhang Biwu, in which Zhang Biwu said that he had been personally appointed by the emperor as the garrison of Lingbao, Ruxiang and Lu, and was in urgent need of talents, thinking that Gu Yanwu was a peerless genius, and Zhang Biwu must go north to help him.

Since Zhang Biwu has already begged for each other, not to mention that Gu Yanwu wants to go north? It's right in the middle! Gu Yanwu immediately replied that after he packed his things, he would rush to the land of Lingbao to meet Zhang Biwu.

Gu Yanwu also knew that Zhang Biwu was looking for a place to develop his power, and he found Lingbao, Lu's and Ruxiang, which were far away from the Central Plains, and the gentry in the three places were very few compared to other places.

Even in the recent Shaanzhou, Zhang Biwu didn't dare to ask for it, this is because Chongzhen regarded Concubine Liu Zhao as his grandmother, Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Chongzhen regarded her as his grandmother, and now Concubine Liu Zhao is still alive, if he arrives in Shaanzhou, the power of the Liu family is unshakable.

Therefore, Zhang Biwu chose the three places of Lingbao, where the official gentry was the weakest, because the partisan struggle in the imperial court was too powerful! If you're not careful, you'll die without a place to be buried!

And everyone threw punches to Gu Yanwu one after another, wishing Gu Yanwu a bright future and making some achievements under Zhang Biwu's account. Gu Yanwu is also full of ambition, and he has a lot of achievements, and he will never be generous.

Zhang Biwu's letter to Gu Yanwu was sent out when he left Beijing. Zhang Biwu set off and quickly rushed to Lingbao and other places.

When Zhang Biwu arrived in Lingbao and other three places, he first wanted to understand which ones were the most powerful in the local area.

He found out the news that there are Jiao, Peng, Xu, and He four families in Lingbao County, which are lined up from east to west, and live in Liqu, Xiapotou, Liangcun and Dongguyi respectively. Jiao Yanfeng official Honglu Temple Zuo Shaoqing, Peng Fan official household department to the matter, He Jun official household department waiter, only Xu's family four books, the world thinks it is prominent, commonly known as Xu Tianguan.

Therefore, the power of the Xu family is very large, and there are people from the imperial court, and they can't easily move him. Of course, the backstage of the Xu family was not hard when Chongzhen was in the first place.

Xu Maoting and Xu Haoran father and son, plus his brother Xu Maoran, Xu Maoyu also has a son named Xu Haoran who is also extremely smart, they are the leaders of the Xu family. It is also respected by the major clans, and it can be said that he is a leader-level figure.

The Geng family in Lushi County is the most famous, because the Geng family once produced a famous father and son, Geng Jiuchou and Geng Yu.

It is necessary for Zhang Biwu to gather all the heroes and powers of the three places, of course he will not go to see them in person, so that he will show weakness to them, and he will lose Zhang Biwu's identity as a garrison adult, and they will be looked down upon in the future, and the decree will not be implemented in the three counties. Zhang Biwu sent people to invite, not afraid that they would not come.

Zhang Biwu also asked the magistrates of the three places to come together, and he ordered more than 200 soldiers to be lined up in strict helmets and strong armor, and they were all holding shiny weapons and lined up on both sides.

Now Zhang Biwu is just using an abandoned temple as his station, although it is still very simple, but he does not plan to build his station too gorgeous, after all, now that the people are poor and the country is poor, he has to keep a low profile.

When he came to Lingbao, Zhang Biwu sent people to investigate the people of Zhilu Dao Lingbao and other three places were talking about it, they all thought that there was a new garrison in the three places, and the magistrates of the three places had to obey him, and the people would have to support a high-ranking official, and the days would be more difficult, and there were soldiers to be raised by the new garrison!

But when Zhang Biwu came, the people were surprised, they thought that Zhang Biwu would bring at least 1,000 officers and soldiers, but now Zhang Biwu only brought more than 200 people, which was beyond the expectations of the people. Two hundred people alone is too few! It's a far cry from their lowest estimate of a thousand! Moreover, the new garrison lord still went to an abandoned ruined temple to operate and built his garrison yamen, which is too surprising!

But when the two hundred sergeants passed by, the people talked a lot, because they saw that the army was well-groomed, and everyone was in good spirits, and there were a pair of eyes that shot like swords on their resolute faces, and they knew that they were all soldiers of a hundred battles.
