"I won't be in command this time, so you should go." Yellowstone has been discussing the future of central and local tax laws mainly with party leaders and the provinces, and these people are now becoming more comfortable with their positions and are not as easy to direct as they used to be. Huang Shi explained to Huang Naiming, who was hurrying back to Fujian with the Guangdong resolution: "But remember, your main duty is to improve the morale of the three armies, in order to achieve this goal, you must be more careful, do not show the opportunity to the opponent, if you are defeated, it will be a greater blow to morale." ”

"If my father is personally recruited, he will definitely be able to sweep Jiangnan, and then go straight to Beijing." Huang Naiming felt that Huang Shi's personal expedition might be of greater help to the army.

"If there are soldiers who suspect that I deliberately did not accept General Xu's challenge, then morale will be greatly affected," Huang Shi did not use the tax law issue as a reason, but smiled at his son: "In the past eight years, General Xu has fought dozens of battles, and I have already been very handy, I will not give him a chance to challenge me." ”

Seeing that Xu Ping's son was a little distracted, Huang Shi thought that the other party was worried and comforted: "Before the capture of Nanjing, I don't think Li Shun will recall him; And after the capture of Nanjing, you will also need to rectify for a while, and we will need time to settle the officials and turn these territories into our territory. Moreover, judging from the intelligence, General Xu looked disheartened, and it was likely that he was not far from becoming a monk. ”

When he came back, Zhao Slowxiong and others had secretly found Huang Naiming, and they said that some doctors in the Qing Yuan hoped that all the immortals would not be pardoned, and this kind of suggestion had also been heard in Guangdong and Jiangxi, and these people all felt that as long as Xu Ping's followers were still alive in the world, it would be a threat to the country.

Some people hope that Huang Naiming will open this mouth to Huang Shi, but Zhao Slowxiong speculates that with Huang Shi's mental state and behavioral logic in the past two years, he will not agree to kill the prisoner, so he suggests that if Huang Naiming can be the commander, he may as well make his own decision. Zhao Slow-Xiong thinks that this concern is not completely unreasonable, those veterans who have followed Xu Ping for many years are loyal to Li Shun, even after defeating Li Shun, they may also be organized by people with a heart to cause new turmoil, but those high-ranking generals Zhao Slow-bear feel that there is no need to worry, and it is suggested that if Yu Shenhe, Chen Zhe and others are caught, they may wish to raise them well to show the leniency of the south; Most of the soldiers below are homeless people who have no family or have long been separated from their families, no one cares about their lives or deaths, and no one will notice if they are eliminated.

"The Immortal Army was created by my father." Huang Naiming, who had something in his heart, blurted out.

"Yes, I created it single-handedly, but now that you have advantages in every aspect, it won't be a problem to eliminate them." Huang Shi smiled slightly when he heard it, when he copied the Immortal Army because he needed military power, he never thought that this lost army would be formed by others, and he turned around and wiped out the Immortal Army of the cottage, the New Army: "It's really our time, we don't have a few years to wait, otherwise we don't have to fight, the Immortal Army itself will end up without a problem, which I have seen once in the third year of Chongzhen." ”

"I heard my father say that the first generation of the Immortal Army died out soon."

"Yes, when I was on Changsheng Island and Fujian, I was superstitious about something called ideological and political work and was complacent about my success. Chongzhen found out three years later that in fact, because of the small number of people in Changsheng Island and Fujian, they had no power in their hands, and a battalion officer did not even have the right to blow away a small soldier. And after Chongzhen opened the Dadu Governor's Mansion in three years, the Changsheng Army disintegrated in less than a year, and in four years, the first emperor observed for a year, and then issued an edict to dissolve the Dadu Governor's Mansion, if the Changsheng Army was still there, how could the first emperor have the guts? ”

"A year?" Huang Naiming hesitated for a moment, it had been three years since the second generation of the Immortal Army had not collapsed, which made him ask, "Does General Xu have any unique experience?" ”

"You think too highly of him!" Huang Shi laughed: "The only reason is that Li Shun's politics are much clearer now than when the first emperor was there, and it doesn't look like he will be like the first emperor in one hundred and eighty years." So it's been three years, and the Immortal Army has not yet disintegrated, judging from the intelligence from Hebei and Shandong, they have just completed the road of the first generation of the Immortal Army in the past three years: the officers and soldiers are beginning to become accustomed to turning a blind eye to the ugly, and people with a conscience are gradually unable to survive in the army. But now, most of them are still because of favors, and they have not yet thought of trading the power in their hands with confidence, and they are far from being proud of shame. ”

"And General Xu's self-abandonment hastened this deterioration?"

"I still have to say that you think too highly of him." Huang Shi shook his head and said: "He doesn't play any role, I think it's better for him to leave it alone, if he stays in his position to interfere, I'm afraid it will cause even more chaos to Li Shun's military and political situation." Now Li Shun is about to enter the regular stage, and like all dynasties, those who have a conscience and cannot suppress their desire to fight will bring more and greater trouble to the country. ”

……

"The imperial kitchen given to me by the king of heaven has arrived." Xu Pi smiled and said to Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, come to my house, I will be the east." ”

"Then there is General Rausch." Zhu Cihong also did not mean to shirk, with the help of Xu Ping, now he also learned to ride a horse and shoot, although the imperial court had a secret order to let Fengyang pay close attention to the movements of the prince of the previous dynasty, but every time Xu Ping pulled him out to hunt and play, and the local officials only stared dryly.

Some of the guards who accompanied him even brought their families out, and the distant Jiangnan heard that there was another friction incident, but the guards remembered that Xu Ping threatened several times that he would never care about the affairs of the DPRK and China again, and in addition, even if this kind of border friction developed into a war in a remote place, it is estimated that the DPRK and China would not trouble their adults.

Taqiu was interrupted by an uninvited guest, and the elder Xu Ping and his guards recognized Yue Mu's figure, who was missing an arm but was still able to ride his mount steadily—as long as it wasn't too fast.

Seeing Xu Ping and the visitor walking into the distance to talk alone, his guards also stood up a little uneasily, and Zhu Cihong heard a guard say in a slightly nervous voice: "Nothing to wait for the Three Treasures Palace, Captain Yue is definitely not a deserter, so what is he here for?" ”

"Do you want to recruit adults back?"

"For Fujian, Guangdong? Will the Taishi be willing for the adults to make meritorious contributions again? ”

Without waiting for the guards to discuss right and wrong, Xu Ping walked back, he glanced at a few long-term personal guards who were still stained with wine and cake crumbs on the corners of their mouths, and said slowly: "I'm going to ask the Shandong Defense Envoy for a favor." ”

"My subordinates are going to prepare their horses." The guards immediately straightened their waists and replied in unison.

"No need, I'll be back soon." Xu Ping waved his hand to stop the guards from following, and after explaining a few words to them, he walked to Zhu Cihong's side and whispered: "Your Highness, my cooks and palace maids, you can help me save them first." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Cihong felt a little strange about this request.

"Help me tune in first."

"Okay," Zhu Cihong laughed: "In fact, the people in the palace know more about etiquette, and they are even better than the people they find from outside." ”

"When I leave this time," Xu Ping sent a few guards farther away, and he whispered to Zhu Cihong: "Actually, it may take some time to come back, my brother must be careful of the government, I can't speak for my brother when I'm not there." ”

"General Xu rest assured," Although the guards are far away, Zhu Cihong's title is still serious: "I will never cause trouble for General Xu." ”

"Okay, brother, cherish." After speaking, Xu Ping turned around and walked towards Yue Mu, who was waiting in the distance.

"Leaving now?" Zhu Cihong was taken aback.

"Urgent." Xu Ping replied quickly.

……

Walking to the gate of the Shandong Jiedu envoy, Xu Ping stuffed the name card into the hand of the porter who greeted him, pulled his legs and walked inside, and pushed away the officers and soldiers who were blocking the front with his arms stretched out. The guards who were pushed away shouted in unison as Xu Ping walked through the door, but their eyes all looked towards the porter together, and one of them had a bewildered face on his face.

The door of the room that had seen the famous post did not make a sound of cheering, but followed behind Xu Ping at a trot, and apologized again and again: "I don't know that the general is far away, so the little one will go to inform the envoy of the festival." ”

"I don't have an official status anymore, I'm just here to visit my old friend, where is General Chen...... I went to him myself. ”

Before he walked into the flower hall, Xu Ping heard an angry voice: "After talking so many times, you still don't understand?" you! ”

After Xu Ping walked into the hall, he saw the two people at the table in the hall raised their heads at the same time, and then heard Chen Zhe gasp, jumped up from his seat suddenly, and pointed to the servant who followed up: "Why don't you go and pour tea!" ”

After the servant ran out, Chen Zhe ran over with a happy face and gave Xu Ping an exaggerated military salute: "Why is the general here?" Visiting Jinan? ”

Saying that, Chen Zhe dragged the young man behind him over, and after he greeted Xu Ping, he asked with a smile: "General, this is Chen Zai, the cousin of the last general, do you think his character is okay?" ”

Xu Ping glanced at the things on the table and asked lightly, "Are you teaching him a sand table?" ”

"Yes, the last general's cousin is going to serve in front of the king, and if he doesn't train well, he will lose the face of the last general."

There was a rattan and a bucket of water on Chen Zhe's table, Xu Ping's eyes swept over these things, and he raised his head to look at Chen Zhe who was smiling: "I heard that his character is not very good, I met Yue Mu, and this time I came to Jinan for Gao Chengcang's business." ”

The smile froze on Chen Zhe's face, he stood for a few seconds, picked up the rattan on the table, and pulled it towards the young lieutenant without a head and a face: "Get out, my face has made you lose everything!" ”

Watching Chen Zhe pull his cousin out of the hall, and when he turned back out of breath, Xu Ping was already sitting on the chair and asked in a cold voice, "What crime should I be guilty of beating my colleague and maiming him?" ”

"The last general lost his father since he was a child, and it was the uncle who raised the last general," Chen Zhe's face turned red, his uncle has always given birth to a daughter, and he is an old man, Chen Zhe shouted to Xu Ping: "My uncle only has this one son, adult!" ”

Xu Ping stared at Chen Zhe for a while, and then asked, "Then why did you kill Gao Chengcang?" Don't you remember that he was your comrade? ”

"My lord, you have wronged the last general," Chen Zhe shook his head violently: "The last general first came to the senior lieutenant to beg him to look at the face of his comrades for many years, save some face for the last general, and give him a gift, if ...... If he is willing to stay in Shandong, I still need his help to bring a team of soldiers here in Shandong. ”

"Okay, that's it, how about it?"

"It's not up to me now, sir." Chen Zhe continued to shake his head: "It's really not up to me to have the final say now. ”

Xu Ping thought about it again, and Huo Di stood up: "I believe you, then you can stay out of this matter." ”

After speaking, Xu Ping pulled his legs and walked out, Chen Zhe hurriedly rushed over and stopped him: "What are you going to do, adult?" You're not going to cause trouble, are you? …… Your Excellency, you can't get into trouble! …… If you get into trouble, I can't stay out of it. ”

……

"What are you going to do, are you going to rebel?" Hu Chen summoned his subordinates to scold them, and after learning that Gao Chengcang was going to be executed, he found that his subordinates were a little impatient, he sneered and scolded: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, if you don't want to live anymore, I will fulfill your ...... with my own hands."

After seeing Xu Ping's visit, Hu Chen was also surprised and delighted, he blasted the unstable elements away, and took Xu Ping to his tent, as soon as he entered the door, Hu Chen shouted: "My lord, you must save Brother Gao's life this time." ”

"That's what I'm here for." Xu Ping pondered for a moment: "I'll go back to find the Shandong Defense Envoy, but I need witnesses, I thought of you, but if you testify for me, you will offend many people, and your future may be ruined." ”

"Willing to testify." Hu Chen replied without thinking.

"I definitely can't protect you, not only is your future over, you don't want to be a soldier again, and maybe you will be blamed and framed and imprisoned."

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't be afraid." Hu Chen replied without thinking, "Please go quickly." ”

Xu Ping glanced at Hu Chen again, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't go around in circles anymore." After Gao Chengcang was imprisoned, and now he has been announced to be beheaded, I know that there will definitely be some people who will not accept it, and even some people will want to rob the prison, Brother Hu, you must know who they are, tell me their names. ”

Hu Chen looked at Xu Ping in a daze, and after half a sound, he opened his mouth and asked, "What are you going to do, my lord?" ”

"I can't do this alone, I need help," Xu Ping replied coldly: "Some officials you can't reason with them, they can't see the straight and wrong, they can only see clearly whether you are holding a knife or a hoe in your hand." ”

Seeing that Hu Chen's mouth was opening wider and wider, Xu Ping said impatiently: "Brother Hu, don't tell me that you haven't seen this kind of official, don't tell me that you don't know how to explain the reason with them." Finally, if you want to stay out of the way, give me a rope. ”
