Chapter Seventy-One: Heavenly Luck

Of course, Anzheng is not talking about playing, by no means. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When An Zheng walked outside the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the three principals of the Dafang Agency had already been put in their pockets and taken outside Fanggu City. When An Zheng signed according to the procedure and waited for the interview, the soil on the three people had already been filled.

Halfway through, Du Shou asked An Zheng: "Zhou Wanqian doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is extremely vicious, why don't you give him a way to live." ”

An Zheng's answer was: "Zhou Wanqian is worse than the Gou family, because he knows how to advance and retreat and knows what attitude he should maintain." He knows how to show weakness, and he knows how to save himself. Do you think he was brought down by the Gou family? No, he just found the right soil for himself. He has a good attitude in front of me because he wants to live. If you say let him sell the Gou family for his life, he will immediately kneel down and lick your toes. You can check carefully and see how many of the evil things done by the Gou family were Zhou Wanqian's idea, and how many of them were done directly by him without going through the Gou family. ”

An Zheng said: "When the government convicts, there will be a distinction between the principal offender and the accessory of the evildoer. But in my opinion, there is no master or slave to do evil. ”

Du Slender didn't really understand what An Zheng meant, but as long as An Zheng said it, he thought it was right.

is not quite the same as An Zheng's thinking, the Yamen of the Yan State Military Department is not very solemn and solemn. The door is quite solemn, and the style is the kind of yamen face that looks very rigid at first glance. After entering the door, I found that there is a cave, there are many pavilions and small lakes and rockeries inside, and the most loving thing is that there are a lot of pink paper cranes hanging on the trees in the small garden in the front yard of the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

An Zheng couldn't help but nod when he saw this, and he had a feeling in his heart that he couldn't imagine that you were such a soldier.

The person in charge of the reception was a man about fifty years old, who called himself Hao Ping'an, and was an outsider in the military department. Wailang, a member of the military department, is also an official position of Zheng Liupin, but the Beijing official feels more imposing than the local official. However, there is a very comfortable feeling in the military department, that is, we are all soldiers, that is, brothers.

This is definitely different from other yamen, and that is because the Sixteen Kingdoms of Youyan have been fighting for years.

An Zheng also often went in and out of the military department when he was in Daxi, but the intrigue was very serious in the military department of Daxi. Daxi was very peaceful, and there was no war. Therefore, the people in the military department spend all their energy on intrigue, and even calculate for a very small thing. But in the country of Yan, there is a war every year, and there is fighting every day on the border.

Therefore, those who have entered the military department as officers this year may only be familiar with it, and in the blink of an eye, they will be transferred to the border to replenish the past, and then they may soon die on the battlefield. So there is a kind of consciousness for the people here...... No one knows when they will die, and everyone in the military department is likely to be the one who stands behind them to provide protection for themselves, and they are all brothers. Moreover, see one side less side.

Calculation and calculation are not as great as life and death.

People here, regardless of their age, understand the relationship between death and trust better than other people in the Yamen.

Hao Ping'an took An Zheng to sit in the pavilion in the small garden in the front yard, smiled and said: "I originally planned to let you wait in the house for a while, but the adults are in a meeting, and soon a group of people will be selected to supplement the southeast border. So I don't know when this will be finished, and the house is depressing, so it's better to sit outside. ”

An argued: "Hasn't it been a long time since there has been a big war with Youguo?"

Hao Ping'an said: "There is no big war, but the war has never stopped. In a sense, Zhao Guo and our Yan Guo are hardcore brothers, at least they will not be in a hurry to tear their faces. And Zhuo Guo is sandwiched between us and Zhao Guo, so we can only obey. But in the southeast, Youguo, Yongguo, and Hegemon united and wanted to march north. They didn't dare to go south, because there was Daxi, so they had to invade north. ”

"What is a big war?"

Hao Ping'an asked.

An Zheng didn't answer, Hao Ping'an himself gave the answer: "In the military department, the definition of a big war is like this...... Within World War I, more than 5,000 dead people were called a great war. Do you know how many people we die every day on the southeast border? No less than 300 people every day, every day. So in many of the border city garrisons, they don't know each other. ”

An Zheng was speechless, he had experienced a lot of things in Daxi, but he had never experienced this kind of cruel war. Daxi is so big that no one dares to provoke it. Moreover, Daxi is still constantly squeezing the surrounding small countries, and for Daxi, these small countries are nutrients, and they have to squeeze a little bit every day.

Therefore, An Zheng is very clear, in fact, the war between the sixteen kingdoms of Youyan is not unrelated to Daxi.

Hao Ping'an saw that An Zheng's face was a little strange, smiled and said: "You may not be familiar with this atmosphere, after all, you are from the border city of Zhao State, and we have not had friction with Zhao State." It will be better to get acquainted with it in the future, and don't be too anxious, today's meeting of the military department may be longer, because it is necessary to determine who to send to Daxi to pay tribute. ”

He suddenly asked, "What do you think of Daxi?"

An Zheng replied: "Daxi...... A large part of the war in the Sixteen Kingdoms of Youyan was caused by Daxi. Although the surrounding small countries are unlikely to have any impact on Daxi, Daxi will definitely not allow these small countries to become rich and strong. Daxi will constantly put pressure on the surrounding small countries to attack each other. The Great Xi oppressed the smaller countries that were close to them, and in order to survive, these small countries had to attack the smaller countries that were a little further away from the Great Xi. ”

In this way, the small countries around it are all consuming their national strength in constant wars. The loss of people, money, and money is huge. But Daxi will not let these small countries fall easily, and will not allow them to annex each other. Although in the eyes of Daxi, these small countries are nothing more than ants, Daxi is not even allowed to appear a relatively strong ant. ”

Hao Ping'an's eyes lit up: "There are too few people as young and insightful as you, really too few." Most of the young people in the military department worship Daxi, believing that it is the real power of the country, and they have the demeanor and responsibility of a strong country. Because when the war in the surrounding countries is at a fever pitch, it is often Daxi who sends envoys to adjust. The war would have stopped because of Daxi's intervention, which they considered to be the credit of Daxi. ”

An Zheng sighed: "I just said that Daxi will not allow any ant to become strong. Therefore, once there is a situation where one country can annex another country, Daxi will intervene to prevent this situation from happening. As for whether to be obedient or disobedient, it is not in Daxi's consideration at all. If you are obedient, you will be beaten, and if you are disobedient, you will be beaten and crippled. ”

Hao Ping'an said: "That's right, so I'm a little unaccustomed to the ideas of many young people in the military department, but you can't persuade them, and the worship of the strong is also very stubborn." ”

An Zheng nodded: "That's true, not only them, but most people think that entering the life of Daxi will be stable and peaceful." However, Daxi is absolutely not allowed to enter, our border army has been killing, is fighting with the enemy, Daxi's border army has also been killing, killing people who want to enter Daxi. ”

Hao Ping'an got up: "You take a break here, I'll go see if the meeting is over." ”

An Zheng stood up: "I will wait again, thank you Lord Hao." ”

Hao Ping'an got up and left, walking very upright. An Zheng could see that this middle-aged man, who was a little unaccustomed to young people, should not be a civilian official who had never been on the battlefield. The way he walked spoke for itself, and there was a kind of nobility and solemnity in his speech and demeanor. An Zheng thought about it, most of the Jingguan were like this, and they had a sense of superiority, so they didn't care.

People like Hao Ping'an, who are still working in the official position of Zhengliupin in their fifties, will basically not have a big promotion in this life. However, An Zheng was a little strange, why did this person not wear an official uniform, but an ordinary shirt to entertain guests in the military department.

Hao Ping'an walked to the end of the small garden and turned into a long corridor, and then took out a pipe from the bag hanging from his waist. He didn't go to see if the meeting was over, but squatted in the corridor where he could sit and smoked. His pipe is large and long. A puff of smoke is inhaled, and when it is puffed out, it seems to be spitting fog.

After about ten minutes, two people in red official uniforms walked over quickly and shouted at Hao Ping'an from a distance.

Hao Ping'an seemed a little helpless, knocked his pipe on the sole of his shoe, and then followed the two people in. In Dayan, officials of the fifth and fourth grades wore red, those above the third rank wore purple, and those below the sixth rank wore green. The two people wearing red official uniforms should be relatively high-status people in the military department. In Dayan, the military department is still the second product, but the first product is the first product, and the travel is also in accordance with the rules of the first product. The soldier is the third grade, second only to Shangshu.

Hao Ping'an turned into a room, and after entering the door, a group of people in red official uniforms sitting in the room all stood up and saluted respectfully: "My lord." ”

Hao Ping'an waved his hand casually, and then walked to the main seat and sat down: "Where is the discussion?"

One of them replied: "My lord, King Yan said that we should nominate someone to Daxi to send tribute, and everyone discussed it, and only General Wang Kaitai was the most suitable." ”

Hao Ping'an pondered for a while: "But Wang Kaitai has been in charge of the new students in the Martial Arts Academy recently, so I think it's better to change someone." ”

The crowd was silent.

Hao Ping'an said: "Choose a more decent one from the six rank outsiders, anyway, it's just someone who cooperates with the Ministry of Rites." Give him a general's robe, and don't pee your pants in fear. My generals in Dayan don't have time to serve the group of big masters in Daxi, and the generals have to be ready to go to the battlefield at all times. Instead of sending a hundred battle generals like General Wang Kaitai to bow their heads when they see people, it is better to let him refine a few excellent young people for me in the martial arts academy. I am from a literati background, and I can go to Daxi to nod my head. But the generals can't, the generals ...... You can't bow your head. The dignity they have earned with bloody battles cannot be ruined like this. ”

Everyone was silent, then stood up and said in unison.

Yes, anyone can bow their heads, but the generals who represent the military can't bow their heads.

"My lord, didn't you say that you would personally go and see the children recommended by General Qiu Changchen before he died?"

Chen Zaiyan, the squire of the military department, asked, "Did you see it?"

Hao Ping'an nodded, lowered his voice and said: "Good seedling, it is really a good seedling that makes my heart bright, and it is in vain for General Qiu's recommendation." General Qiu's letters of recommendation came three times in a row, and after the third came the news of General Qiu's death. ”

Chen Zaiyan sighed: "It's a pity, it's been more than three years before it was found out that the murderer of General Qiu was a member of the Youguo Divine Society." It took us more than a thousand days to find out the truth, I'm sorry for General Qiu's spirit in the sky. ”

Hao Ping'an suddenly sneered: "Do you think it's over? Do you think General Fang Zhiji was really forced away by the Queen Mother?"

He stood up and looked out the window: "The people of Youguo have come all the way to assassinate my deputy general of Dayan Tieliuhuo, this matter is not over." General Fang Zhizhi rode south with the Iron Flow Fire Spirit, is it really to train the troops? Is it really to avoid the Queen Mother?"

Smack.

His hand slapped on the windowsill: "The god of the hidden country will not die some people, and the general will not bring back the troops." ”

Chen Zaiyan's face changed, and then he let out a sigh: "Fortunately, General Fang was born in my Dayan. ”
