Chen Xinjia was worried about the matter of Jiannu gathering troops at the moment, and he wanted to see it, but he remembered that Lu Liangzhi was quite bold in Xin'an County, and he might be able to consult with him about the matter of Jiannu entering the Kou, so he ordered the two to be invited in.

Gao Douguang and Lu Liang went straight into the Governor's Mansion and bowed and saluted: "The lower officials and others will meet Chen Zhitai!" ”

Chen Xinjia said with a smile: "Kozhi Mansion, Lu Zhi County doesn't have to be polite, please sit down and talk." Then he ordered the maids on the left and right to serve tea.

After Gao Douguang and Lu Liang sat down, Chen Xinjia asked: "You two have always been busy with official business, why did you come to see the governor today?" ”

Lu Liangzhi hurriedly got up and said: "Chen Zhitai, it is really an important matter to report to the lower officials, Liu Lizhuang Town in this county was broken by a gang of thieves the day before yesterday, and the officers and soldiers stationed in 100 households were captured by the thieves, Liu Dachang, a rich gentleman in the town, was killed, and the money and grain of Liujiabao were also looted by the thieves, according to the people, this gang of thieves is Li Xingzhi who came from Gaoyang, and his army is about 500 people, equipped with guns and artillery. ”

Chen Xinjia's face was cloudy when he heard this, wasn't Li Xingzhi suppressed by Huang Wenchang before? Why did you come out and make trouble again? Lu Liang bluntly said that the thieves have firearms, which are heavy weapons of the military, where did this firearms come from? Isn't it Huang Wenchang, the bastard, who covered up defeat and turned it into a victory, deliberately supporting the enemy!

"Deal with Huang Wenchang?" This thought flashed in Chen Xinjia's mind, he had just promoted him to Baoding guerrilla, and now he would dispose of him, wouldn't that slap him in the face? Besides, Huang Wenchang defeated the thief and the thief, and he has already reported to the court, how can he deal with it?

To be honest, breaking two dock forts is not a big deal in this era, and when the official army has no food, they will also rob the dock forts of the rich gentry, but Gaoyang and Xin'an are located in the land of Gyeonggi, if Li Xingzhi is happy to rob and attack the county seat, this matter will be troublesome.

Chen Xinjia thought for a while and said: "Li Xingzhi's death is revived, and the suppression must be suppressed, otherwise it will cause trouble in Gyeonggi, and the governor is afraid that the court will be angry!" It's just that the governor received an urgent report from Xuanda a few days ago, saying that the slave chief Hongtai sent the Tatar king Azig to gather troops in Horqin, and I am afraid that he will enter Koujinggi again. ”

Gao Douguang's face changed greatly, the country was like this, Dongyu regarded Daming as his own back garden, he came when he wanted, he left if he wanted, and this time I don't know how many people in the Gyeonggi area have suffered.

Lu Liang arched his hand and said: "Chen Zhitai, since you know that the Dongyu is about to enter the Kou, why not rectify the side wall, and then move all the people from each county to the county seat, as long as the officials and soldiers are dedicated to defending the city, the Dongyu are all cavalry, as long as our army and people are united, why are you afraid of the Dongyu?" ”

"Solid wall clearing! It's not that the governor hasn't thought about it, but the eastern captives are still in Horqin, and we are in a hurry to relocate the people here. ”

Lu Liangzhi's strategy reminded Chen Xinjia, but how could he show it, he just wanted to go back and write to the imperial court, and show his strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness to the emperor, so that he could not only make suggestions, but also clear up the relationship after the Eastern Captives entered the Kou.

After taking Lu Liangzhi's strategy as already available, Chen Xinjia may have felt that he couldn't go, and shifted the topic to Li Xingzhi in Gaoyang, and said to Gao Douguang and Lu Liangzhi: "The so-called outside must first be settled inside, now that Jiannu is about to enter the Kou, and there are thieves in Baoding, this governor intends to suppress Li Shun first, and then stabilize the border town, how do you feel it?" ”

Lu Liangzhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and said: "Chen Zhitai, please borrow 3,000 soldiers from the lower officials, Liu Zhongwu, the garrison of this county, is known as a strategy, and if he commands it, he will definitely be able to break the thief in one fell swoop." ”

Chen Xinjia said: "There are only hundreds of thieves, how do you need 3,000 soldiers, Dongyu is always peeping, and the governor still needs to rectify the side wall, Luzhi County, you think this is good, this governor of Baoding General Liu Guangzuo transferred 800 troops with you, and then Baoding guerrilla Huang Wenchang, Renqiu garrison Xu Zhijian and Guixian garrison Liu Zhongwu each sent 500 troops, how about taking the Great Sect Table?"

Gao Douguang, the prefect of Baoding, thought for a while and said: "Chen Zhitai, now that the Dongyu is about to enter the Kou, the lower officials think that they can appease Li Xingzhi and allow him to take an official position, so when the Dongyu comes to attack, we can also help more." ”

Chen Xinjia said coldly: "The words of the Kochi Mansion are wrong, to govern the troubled times, we should use heavy codes to deal with such chaotic people and thieves, we should kill a hundred people, if we do something to appease, won't everyone in the world follow suit?" ”

Gao Douguang was disdainful in his heart, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were so fierce, didn't the court also appease them several times? Now Li Xingzhi has only attacked two dock forts, which is not a big deal compared to Li Zicheng and them, and besides, don't the officials and soldiers often attack the landlord and rich gentry's Zhuangzi to collect grain? The common people have nothing to eat, who does not eat the big households, besides, what Li Xingzhi did is a few points stronger than that of the officers and soldiers, in the final analysis, the people robbed the money and grain and distributed it to the people, and they did not coerce the people into joining the gang to make trouble, how can they not be appeased?

He is a serious Tianqi Dynasty Jinshi, Chen Xinjia is just a person, only relying on flattery to sit in the position of the governor of Xuanda, where can Gao Douguang look down on him, but Chen Xinjia is the governor of Xuanzhen after all, Gao Douguang had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "The words of the platform, every word, is the subordinate abrupt." ”

Lu Liangzhi didn't have so many thoughts, he only knew that he was an official for one term, and he wanted to keep one party safe, and he came here to ask Baoding Mansion to send troops to suppress thieves, and now Chen Xinjia agreed to send troops, but he couldn't ask for it, but he still had doubts in his heart.

Then he asked: "Since Chen Zhitai sent troops, but the troops and horses in Gaoyang, Renqiu, and Xin'an are not under the control, and the military horses of Baoding Mansion are controlled by whom, and the three armies are outside, if they do not command in a unified manner, the lower officials are only afraid of losing their ground, and they are afraid that Li will be defeated." ”

Chen Xinjia stroked his beard and said: "The dynasty is a military force, this is a precedent, the governor of your county intends to suppress the thief this time, and the officials and troops of Baoding Mansion are also allocated to you to call, the governor will be here to write Renqiu County, Gaoyang County will immediately send troops to them, as for how to suppress the thief?" It's all up to your county. ”

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Lu Liangzhi relied on hundreds of people to hold the county seat of Xin'an in Baoding, this Chen Xinjia is known, today to see that his actions are quite lawful, Chen Xinjia moved the mind of wooing, so even if Lu Liangzhi is the governor of the war, but also want to see Lu Liangzhi's ability, if there is really a level, it can also be used.

Lu Liang took the order with indignation, and immediately said: "Li Cheng is entrenched in the mountains around Mapengdian, connecting Mapengdian, and is good at winning people's hearts, my army will inevitably not be able to hide from him, Xia Guan intends to Huang Guerrilla led troops to enter the city, cut off Li Wei's road to the west, Xia Guan led the army into Liu Li Zhuang to control the north of Ma Pengdian, and Ren Qiu's soldiers were stationed in Longhua Township south of Dajiaotai. ”
