Chapter 26: Planning

Hurry to be in a hurry, the big trouble is there, it's not that you are in a hurry and the problem is solved - how to deal with it is a hurdle that Niu Shiqun, Zhang Deming, and Ma Teng have never been able to dodge.

Xiao Changhua's good news earlier, in fact, the three seniors knew almost what was going on in their hearts - at least they could guess eight or nine without leaving ten. It's just that the golden rule of officialdom is that more things are better than less, and when the water is clear, there are no fish, especially under one's own rule. Therefore, no one would be stupid enough to take the initiative to pierce this layer of window paper.

At this moment, after receiving Yu Shengliang's urgency, the three of them understood the whole process of the matter after a little thought. However, knowing what is going on does not mean that the best solution has been found, even if there is a ready-made best solution, it does not mean that you have to do it according to this method - on the contrary, the best solution is precisely the one that harms the personal interests of the three members the most!

If the strength of the province is insufficient to completely extinguish it, then on the one hand, it should be contained in the court, and at the same time, it should be reported to the imperial court, and the neighboring provinces and even the Beijing camp should coordinate support until it is quelled...... Everyone knows that this is the most important solution.

However, in this way, even according to the most optimistic estimates, the career of the senior officials has come to an end: since the praise of the "great victory" of the Holy Lord has been sent to the Yulin Mansion, it is inevitable to piggyback on the provincial government - the political envoy, the envoy according to the inspection, and the command envoy The three well-managed merits, the officials have naturally written a note. What's the matter, it turns out that you are colluding to deceive the court? This is a blatant "bullying"! No matter how bad it is, you can't take off a hat of "concealing and ignoring the emperor's negligence", right? Political envoys, envoys, and commanders, these chairs, but how many people are staring at them! In the eyes of the red-eyed people who stared at these chairs...... If you need to cut off a few heads, you may sit on them yourself...... Who cares?

Therefore, the question of this test paper is actually not a multiple-choice question of "What should I do if the layer of paper wrapped by Xiao Changhua can't contain Guan Shengyun's fire, should we continue to wrap another layer and continue to fool around, or do we really share the worries of the imperial court" - the standard answer is clearly there: "Wrap another layer, throw it out, and let it burn as much as you like it from others"!

"Looking for Xiao Changhua!" Angry, the swarthy face turned purple, the horse commander gritted his teeth and shouted these words, "The benefits are all taken by the fuck, and this guy must not be cheapened!" ”

"This is natural." Echoed by the inspector Zhang Deming, "The problem is that we have to do some countermeasures, otherwise...... In case Xiao Qiushi can't do things well, this hot plaster still has to be pasted on a few of our hands, and if it doesn't die, it will have to peel off the skin! - Unlike Ma Teng, who was born in a martial artist, scolded the street in a hurry, Lord Zhang used Xiao Changhua's words, but the tone was obviously not good when he brought out his surname - At that time, sweet potatoes, that is, yams, had not yet reached Daming, so Lord Zhang's plaster metaphor could not be more appropriate.

Niu Shiqun coughed lightly, straightened his mind and said slowly: "What the two adults said is extremely true. According to the official's opinion, Yan'an Mansion must be unable to clean up, so there are four urgent priorities: first, quickly adjust the soldiers and horses of various prefectures to meet the needs of the untimed, second, blame Yulin Mansion as the vanguard, and fight if it can be fought - if it can't be warned, it will be 'acted by the camera' depending on the thief's situation, and third, the imperial court is waiting to see the good news, the good news of the great victory! We must not disappoint the court, and the good news must be delivered, the sooner the better. This fourth ......" As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the two of them, picked up the teacup, and stopped talking with the tea leaves floating on the water.

Ma Teng asked impatiently: "Fantai, what is the fourth?" The last general is a rough man, and he can't understand the twists and turns, but you have made it clear! ”

Zhang Deming thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Ma Shuai is not in a hurry, Zhang Mou will guess." Saying that, he bowed his hand to the east, "Shengshang, what I got earlier was the news of the victory in Yulin, and then I lost Yan'an Mansion City!" This matter must be explained to Long Live Lord. Domain, can the lower officials guess one or two? ”

Niu Shiqun stroked his palms and smiled: "Please prepare (Zhang Deming's words) brother Gaojian!" ”。 Seeing that Ma Teng was still staring at the two big eyes, he didn't know why, and continued to enlighten, "Yan'an Mansion is lost, this can't be covered up no matter what." But how did you lose it...... There's some negotiation here. ”

Ma Teng said blankly: "How did you lose it?" Didn't the prefect make it clear? I've heard my master read military documents. There were spies in the city, and they stole the city gate at night, and thousands of thieves swarmed in, and they lost it! However, in the eyes of the last general, even if there are no spies to open the door, thousands of thieves will attack, and the ants will climb the wall, but it will just kill a few more people, and in the end it will definitely not be able to hold it! Even if the last general brought his family over, thousands of thieves would definitely not be able to withstand it for two days. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Deming glanced at Niu Shiqun, got a tacit look, and simply said: "Ma Shuai's words are wrong. Where are the thousands of thieves? Obviously, they were hundreds of thieves who were scattered by Yulin Mansion, and they were tired of running all the way, and they ran to Yan'an Mansion by mistake! Yu Chouyuan (Yu Shengliang's word) was negligent in guarding there, coupled with his advanced age, he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger and fled without a fight, and the soldiers below of course scattered in a hurry like birds and beasts, which is obviously careless, careless! ”

Ma Teng scratched his head, and still muttered to himself: "Hundreds of routs? Could it be that the master has read the wrong number? The last general clearly remembers that it was thousands of thieves......"

Niu Shiqun looked down on this rough man, and when he said this, he was even more disdainful when he saw that this elm head was not open, but he had no choice but to end up by himself: "Your master is not mistaken, Yu Zhiyuan wrote it there is indeed a thousand." But! But he lied about the military situation in order to exonerate the crime of losing his land! Ma Shuai, think about it: If there are thousands of thieves, will the saint ask: Didn't Yulin Mansion have already defeated the thieves and fled in all directions, where did they come from? Commending the great victory of Yulin Mansion, didn't you also receive the grace of 'governing the army in a good way, and the second son of a thousand households'? It's only been a few days, and thousands of thieves have popped up all at once! We...... Is it a deception? So, thieves are hundreds, and they must be hundreds! Well, by no means more than five hundred! ”

After this pointing, Ma Teng finally understood the stakes, and said at a glance: "Then, ...... to the prefect."

Zhang Mingde snorted and sneered: "That's Lord Yu's life!" I can't complain about anything else. Besides, Xia Guan has already heard about it, Xiao Qiushi has a lot of background, and it is said that he is the proud protégé of Lord Yuan of the household department. Lord Yu, hehe, if the backer is hard enough, why do you still be a four-grade prefect at an age? Obviously, there is a precedent of Yulin Mansion there, and with a little restraint, it is not difficult for the thieves to follow Yanshui all the way to Shanxi, right? Isn't it just a matter of a few stones, a few taels of silver, and a few ships! When it's over, can we not reach out and help? It's good, I used my mantis arm as a car, I didn't block it, and I had to drag the whole province into the water! What should we do? He's lived enough at this age, who are we going to provoke, why should we give him a back? At the imperial court, we have to give an explanation anyway - whether to kick the iron plate behind Xiao Qiuhua, or simply hand over our three heads, or ...... Wronged by adults...... Ma Shuai won't be unable to understand this truth, right? ”

Ma Tengteng stood up and hugged his fist to the two: "The last general has a bad brain, everything is at the command of the two adults!" The last will be grateful, grateful! ”

Niu and Zhang looked at each other and smiled.

Zhang Mingde bowed and replied: "Ma Shuai is polite." ”

Niu Shiqun made a "please" gesture: "Then let's play it together." I will write it with Brother Qiubei, and wait for Ma Shuai to lead the signing. ”

Ma Teng was so anxious that his face was red, his neck was thick, and his hands shook together: "I can't help it, I can't help it!" The ancestral system of this dynasty is based on the military of literature. In front of the two adults, how dare the last general be arrogant, capital crime, capital crime! ”

In fact, although Ma Teng is an illiterate martial artist, he is not stupid after all - in Daming, no matter how great the credit of the ancestors is, if the brain is not bright in this regard, time flies, and after one or two hundred years, how can he keep the shadow of the second grade! Most of the previous performances are also pretended. He has another worry in his heart: don't let these two guys with bad stomachs take him seriously!

Niu Shiqun smiled: "Ma Shuai is too worried." It's really not that I waited for Humility in this matter - the great grandfather said: 'All military affairs will be played with the title of commander and leader'. The ancestral system is like this, otherwise, how dare we treat the court Dafa as child's play? Besides, you and I both work for the Son of Heaven, but we have different divisions of labor, and the division of labor is different. And...... Now, everyone is in the same boat, living and dying together, Ma Shuai is in trouble, none of us can get rid of it, Ma Shuai can rest assured. Hahaha. ”

Ma Teng finally put his mind at ease, and bowed again with his fists clenched: "The last general will take the order." Listen to the two adults. ”

I said in my heart: the division of labor is different? Fuck you! No matter what you say, I still have to be careful of you bastards at all times! But well...... Hehe, Lao Tzu is not a vegetarian, fortunately, a nail has been buried a long time ago, and now it should be used.

This knowledge point:

1. The troika of the provincial administration of the Ming Dynasty:

Cheng Xuan Envoy (similar to the provincial governor, in charge of civil affairs), referred to as the feudal division. In the later period, governors were set up, with a higher rank than the political envoys, who were in charge of the administration, justice, and military affairs of a province, and the positions of the political envoys were completely limited to civil affairs.

The sentence is based on the Procuratorial Department (similar to the president of the Provincial High Court, in charge of criminal affairs), referred to as the Zhen (pronounced "Nie") Division. Note that sometimes there are also those that write "Gaoji". There may be two reasons for this, personal speculation: the main reason is likely to be a clerical error: there was no unified textbook in ancient times, and the literacy rate has always been around 4%-5%, and even if it is literate, many of them are half-baked - just look at the bullshit "Tianwang Poems" written by Hong Xiuquan to appreciate one or two. There is no Hanyu Pinyin Mandarin, the official dialect is very non-standard (it is the same today, it can be imagined in ancient times), and typos are inevitable. When I checked the historical materials, I read a lot of concerts for the Holy Son of Heaven, and even in the most serious documents such as these, typos abound. In particular, the name of the "anti-thief", because of the difference in the accent of different announcers, fell on the pen, and the most typos were made, and even in today's Mandarin, it would be completely different. Another reason may be because of Gaotao. Legend has it that when the Yellow Emperor Gao Tao was in charge of justice, he was in charge of the judiciary and the same as the punishment according to the prosecutor's duties, so some people took it for granted that he was Gao Si. Strictly speaking, 臬司 is a regular way of writing, but it cannot be said to be 100% wrong when written as Gaosi.

The Metropolitan Command Envoy Division (similar to the commander of the provincial military division, the chief officer of the military), referred to as the Metropolitan Division (later there was also a middle and low-level official position called the Metropolitan Division, between the guerrilla and the garrison. In order not to be confused, the honorific title I use here is "handsome").

2. The Ming Dynasty used literature to control the military, but when the military affairs were jointly played, the commander of the capital should be the first to have the title. This fully illustrates the little ninety-nine in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart: usually take precautions, let the civil officials watch you at any time, and when something happens, you come out to do your duty, don't think about slipping away!
