Chapter 70: Shi Heng, who is difficult to evaluate

Why was it that in this situation back then, the Warat people were separated by a city wall, if they really started to kill, then Shanxi would be really chaotic.

Of course, we are forced to let go of the situation, but we must also beat it as it should be.

Zhu Qizhen said lightly sarcastically: "I really feel embarrassed when I hear this sentence, I don't know how you feel when you say it?" ”

The kneeling thanksgivings looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"Okay, I won't embarrass you, as long as you govern the people for me, you won't be in vain for my kindness today.

But the ugly words still have to be said in the front, I am the emperor, not the one who puts the horse.

I can let you go, but there will be no next time. ”

At this moment, the people on the earth don't even know whether to say thank you or not.

"Except for Master Kuang and the British Prince, the rest of us should step back first, and after we go back, we will do our errands with our hearts."

"Yes".

The hard-pressed Zhu Shiqi found that he was obviously in his own palace as the king, but now he couldn't even get close to the main hall.

"Okay, everyone is gone, come here, take a seat for the two bosses."

After the two thanked them, they took their seats left and right.

"I have one more thing, I have to ask the two masters."

Zhu Qizhen's posture was very low.

"Your Majesty, please."

Kuang Yu, Zhang Fu naturally didn't dare to hold it up.

"What I want to ask is Shi Heng."

Zhu Qizhen asked the difficult questions that bothered him and wanted to hear the opinions of the two.

How to deal with Shi Heng is indeed a bit tricky.

Guo Jing was so useless, the old eunuch who was treason against the enemy died when he died, and anyway, he was counting on copying some property from his house to make up for the deficit during this time.

But Shi Heng and Zhu Qizhen are indeed a little entangled.

Kuang Yu, Zhang Fu was not surprised by His Majesty's question.

Just now, His Majesty deliberately only talked about Guo Jing, and after skipping Shi Heng, they realized that His Majesty was still a little difficult to decide about this Shi Heng.

Kuang Yu, Zhang Fu is the manager of the military department and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so he is naturally no stranger to this Datong commander-in-chief, and even knows a lot.

Zhang Fu couldn't hold Zhu Qizhen's idea, thought about it again and again, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Shi Heng is quite good at governing the army, and he has taken the lead many times, personally led his family to meet Wara, and even dared to fight in the field, which is really rare.

But this person has a bad character, and it can even be said that he is vulgar and annoying.

When Yu Qian was the governor of Shanxi, he repeatedly impeached Shi Heng's private soldiers, deducted the soldiers' salaries, and bribed officials. ”

As soon as Zhang Fu's voice fell, Kuang Yu continued: "The British public is right.

However, among the military reports received by the Ministry of War in recent years, it can be said that this Shi Heng has made the most meritorious contributions, and he has won many awards every time.

In the sixth year of orthodoxy, Shi Heng played, saying that it was difficult to make up enough for the military salaries at the border passes, and if the imperial court could give seeds to the ploughing cattle and let the army reclaim the land in the border area, the military rations could be increased by 18,000 stone per year, which really alleviated the problem of money and grain for the imperial court.

In the seventh year of orthodoxy, he built a fortress on the border of Datong West Road, hoarded grain and grass, and at the same time collected talents for the imperial court, which can be said to be his best.

And over the years, these people have shown their talents in military and political affairs. ”

After listening to Kuang Yu's words, Zhang Fu wondered in his heart: It's strange, when did Kuang Wei speak for others like this, and he was talking about Shi Heng's merits everywhere.

Could it be that this Shi Heng has anything to do with Kuang Yu?

Zhang Fu was entangled, thinking about whether to say a few good words to Shi Heng.

Zhang Fu and Kuang Yu's evaluation of Shi Heng should be said to be objective. This is also the most tangled place in Zhu Qizhen.

Shi Heng is a typical local military leader, and the first important thing of a military leader is to have the ability and be able to fight.

At this point, Shi Heng proved himself.

He is really good at fighting, good at riding horses and archery, relying on military merits, and has been promoted to the commander of the capital, the governor of the capital, and the chief military officer.

Moreover, what he did in Datong, building walled forts and reclaiming military fields, objectively did strengthen the strength of the Ming army.

Later, in the defense of Beijing, Shi Heng also made great contributions to the establishment.

As a military general, Shi Heng has also fulfilled his duty.

But Shi Heng is by no means a good person or a good courtier.

Everything he did was indeed good for the country, but didn't he Shi Heng eat with a mouth full of oil?

built a walled fort, reclaimed military fields, and sold illicit salt, how much grain fell into his Shi Heng's pocket?

Datong's accounts over the years, Zhu Qizhen didn't even have to think about it, and he knew that there were problems in them.

I believe that as long as you are willing to check, you will soon get the answer you want.

Even without checking, Zhu Qizhen can conclude that this guy definitely eats no less than Guo Jing.

What aroused Zhu Qizhen's jealousy was Kuang Yu's last words just now.

Recruit talents, each for its own use.

At this time, he firmly controlled the financial power and human rights of the army in his own hands.

There is even a possibility of getting involved in the civil affairs of Datong.

The entire Datong has been built by him like an iron plate, and the decree of the imperial court is very likely to be inadequate.

In this way, this is a bit of a sign of a development towards warlords.

Zhu Qizhen then dispelled the idea of keeping Shi Heng in Datong again.

Not only can he not stay in Datong, but this Datong is up and down, and Shi Heng's forces must collapse.

"Come on, bring Shi Heng."

Zhang Fu, Kuang Yu knew that His Majesty had already made a decision.

"Sin General Shi Heng, see Your Majesty, Holy Bow Ann."

Shi Heng was still outside the hall, far away from Zhu Qizhen in this hall, and knelt down and saluted towards the hall.

"Let him get in."

After that, a man with leg cuffs and handcuffs, who looked like a tiger with a bear's back and a strong waist, tiptoed into the hall.

It's hard to imagine that this man is as timid as a little daughter-in-law in front of him, and he is in the Datong area, and both Han and Meng know his fierce name.

Shi Heng didn't dare to be careless, he was really scared.

This period of imprisonment can be said to be like falling into hell for Shi Heng.

What kind of life did he live in Datong before?

To put it mildly, I, Shi Heng, am Datong.

To put it mildly, Datong belongs to me Shi Heng.

It was such a fairy-like day, which disappeared with the arrival of Zhang Fu and Kuang Yu.

The first thing these two adults did when they first came to Datong was to throw themselves and Guo Jing into prison.

Shi Heng didn't care about it before, his family made money and silver, came in to visit, and sent a bed to eat, and his life was quite passable.

But I knew that one day, several familiar jailers were all gone, and my life in prison took a sharp turn for the worse.

The visits were gone, the food and clothing were gone, and the handcuffs and foot cuffs were all put on.

The new jailers were as vicious to themselves as they were to the plague gods.

As the old saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, from brocade clothes and jade food to eating chaff and vegetables, from warm beds and beautiful maids to dark cells, this is difficult for anyone to accept.

Later, I listened to their chatter, and I realized that this matter had somehow reached the ears of the British duke.

Zhang Fu was also ruthless, the officials, prison heads, and jailers who collected the money were all cut down, and none were left.

At this time, Shi Heng was really scared.
