Chapter 116: Fu Bureau

Earlier, under the orders of Qian Yuchuan, Xinye, Dengzhou (now Deng County), Tang County (now Tang River) and other Nanyang counties kept sending the people to Nanyang Mansion to consume Guan Shengyun, and most of them were already empty. When the people in the wilderness saw that Nanyang had fallen, their pride suddenly disappeared, and they once again returned to their cowardly and humble normal. Knowing that their hometown and county town would also be unsafe, many people did not dare to go home at all, so they scattered in the mountains and fields to avoid the military disaster. Gu Baihua and Gong Derun took Xinye as if they were in a no-man's land: the city gate was opened, the magistrate and the priest were hanging from the beam in the yali, and the county and other people were nowhere to be found.

When the news came back, Nanyang had already been ransacked. Guan Shengyun ignited a sky-high fire in the Tang Palace, and the whole army drove to Xinye.

In the past, every time he captured a state capital, Guan Shengyun would use the treasury to seize and fill himself, and often distributed the remaining grain to the people who could not take it away for the rest of their lives. But he didn't do it this time, because of anger, and of course, the fear that he couldn't speak, and the materials that he couldn't hold were all burned by him. When the soldiers were busy looting, the auxiliary team was not idle, and divided most of them out of the city to arrest the people scattered in the field, and then let them carry the corpses to the water, leaving the small half to force the people in the city who did not have time to escape to tear down the city bricks, and the demolished city bricks were smashed on the spot. By the time the army is ready to be pulled, the four walls of Nanyang have almost turned into half of the adobe, and it is completely impossible to build it again - even if the project is sufficient, it will take a year or two, let alone now?

Subsequently, the whole city of Nanyang was almost plunged into a sea of fire! Guan Shengyun didn't slaughter the city, but it was impossible to easily let go of those who almost killed him. Not only that, on the way to Xinye, Gao Tengdou's three Flying Beast Battalions and You Futian's two Shuizi Battalions also deliberately detoured from Tang County and Dengzhou respectively - the general's idea is very simple: Since you do the first year of junior high school, don't blame us for doing the next fifteen!

Tens of thousands of floating corpses in the river frightened the people along the way to flee, and the farthest along the Han River actually floated all the way to Chengtianfu (now Zhongxiang)! The morale of Guan Shengyun's headquarters is unprecedentedly high: this is the end of opposing our army!

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that there were four capitals of "two capitals" and "two capitals". The so-called "two capitals" are Shuntianfu in Beijing and Yingtianfu in Nanjing, while the "two capitals" are Fengyang Mansion and Xingdu Chengtianfu in the central capital. It sounds confusing, but in fact, as long as you have the know-how to understand, it is not difficult to distinguish these place names.

Nanjing's Yingtianfu is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, set his peak. During the Mengyuan period, Nanjing was called Jiqing, and Zhu Yuanzhang was called the emperor here and renamed Yingtianfu, which means that he was "the world obtained by the order of heaven". Note that at that time, Nanjing was not yet called Nanjing.

The crown prince Zhu Biao died early, and after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he passed the throne to his grandson Zhu Yunwen, and Emperor Jianwen still took it as his capital. Not long after, Zhu Yunwen was cut down by the fourth uncle Zhu Di without a trace, and King Yan was successfully promoted to become the Yongle Emperor. But Ying Tianfu is Zhu Yunwen's nest after all, and Zhu Di is not sure. After thinking about it, he still slept peacefully in his own territory, so he shouted loudly "The Son of Heaven guards the country", and ran back to Beiping with a smoke. Beiping was called the capital in the Yuan Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang changed the name, which means "the north is peaceful, and it will be peaceful from now on", so that the most capable old four can build a domain here to beat Mongolian compatriots, and the king of the title is called King Yan. After Zhu Di came back from cutting his nephew, he set up the capital here. It's a bit unreasonable for the uncle to cut off his nephew, and he has to prove that he is not actually cutting his own nephew, but "conforming to the will of heaven", so he changed his name to Shuntianfu. At this time, Ying Tianfu in the south already had a set of ready-made six teams, whether it was because many people were unwilling to go north, or Zhu Di was not at ease with his eldest nephew, or out of the psychology of "I went to the north to build a personal command to guard the country, not because I was afraid of you, let alone because I couldn't trust you", Ying Tianfu's team continued to be retained. Zhu Di re-established a new team in Shuntian Mansion, which is the real "imperial court". As a result, Yingtianfu and Shuntianfu had colloquial names for "South" and "North" Beijing respectively - the Nanjing team became an ornament, and those who failed in the power struggle, were not treated by the emperor, and were inconvenient to cut with a knife...... They were all sent there to drink tea, read newspapers and watch videos, and the treatment remained the same.

As an aside, after the Xinhai Ding Revolution, Sun Zhongshan (typo) was inaugurated as the provisional president in Nanjing, and the real strength was in Yuan Shikai in Beijing. The cannon tossed for a long time, and if Lao Yuan had to go south to take office, Lao Yuan would not do it, and the cannon would not be in a rut. No matter how you can't pay lip service, you have to emphasize the status of "Jingshi", so Nanjing, just like that, until today.

Needless to say, Fengyang Mansion, the central capital, Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, this is called the land of Longxing. Taizu's hometown, no one dares to say that it is bad, but where the birds don't, the saint himself doesn't go, so he gives it a good name, and the administrative level is raised, and it's over. Its place is in the sun of Phoenix Mountain, so it is named.

Xingdu Chengtianfu, not many people know. Wuzong Zhu Houzhao died at a young age without leaving a son, and in line with the principle of "brother to brother", he wanted to choose one of the kings of the Jinzhi domain to inherit the throne. The nearest is Xingwang Zhu Youqi's branch, at this time Xingwang has died, and the nickname is "Xian", so we are generally called "Xingxian Wang*", Xingwang Wang Jue was attacked by Zhu Houxi. So everyone welcomed Zhu Houxi to the north to be the emperor...... Then the famous "Great Rites Debate" broke out: a group of ministers didn't do anything serious, and they were pestering Zhu Houxi all day long to admit that his uncle Xiaozong Zhu Youzhi was his father, so that he could be regarded as the "pro" brother of Wuzong Zhu Houzhao - the sage book talks about "brother and brother", not "brother and cousin"! Since the sages can't be wrong, then it can only be that the father and mother are wrong, and they have to be corrected! Only by admitting death as a father and calling an aunt a mother, and calling a father an uncle and a mother calling an aunt, is this in line with the state of etiquette...... After tossing for three years, Zhu Houxi was completely annoyed, and a big board came down, and it all stopped. Zhu Houxi doesn't stop doing it, of course, there will always be sycophants to help him: the land where the Xing Domain was built must be a big auspicious land, and it has to be renamed again! What's the best thing to change? Taizu is the "Ying" day, Chengzu is the "Shun" day, and I inherit according to the will of God...... OK, it's called "Chengtianfu"! However, because of the "Great Rites Discussion" incident, Zhu Houxi, that is, Emperor Jiajing, is extremely popular among civil officials - don't forget, the history books are all written by civil officials*! Therefore, piggybacking, this Chengtianfu is rarely mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, and it is not as well-known as the first three......

Whether it is "should", "shun", or "inheritance", the word "day" must be added after it - see it, it is the meaning of God (God said: "Your uncle")! Emphasizing the divine right of kings.

Normal - anyway, whoever wins in the end can speak on behalf of God, well, it can also be said to be the choice of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The next day, Luo Shifan came to Xiangyang Mansion again.

Luo Shifan guessed that it would be easier to talk about this time. For this reason, he also made relatively full preparations and brought Sun Chunlong and several other entourages.

He was wrong, though.

Where is it good to talk about, it is simply enthusiastic!

The prefect's yamen opened the middle door widely, and he wanted to welcome Luo Shifan in!

Of course, Luo Shifan, who was born in the family of the official eunuch, knew that he would only open the middle door under the three circumstances of "welcoming the angel, the arrival of the official and the performance of the new official", and he was just a cloth cloth, and he was also a "thief", so he couldn't help but be stunned all of a sudden. After all, he is not a rough person like Gao Gu who doesn't understand anything, Luo Shifan subconsciously excused himself: "Ladies and gentlemen, this ...... I'm afraid not, right? ”

Mo Qiushui changed his attitude yesterday, and laughed: "Mr. Luo doesn't have to be too humble!" Your army has the intention of serving the imperial court, and the grace of heaven is vast, and there is no reason for inaccuracy. The marshal of your army is rarely allowed to be appointed as the deputy marshal of the general army, which is the rank of the second rank and the second rank. Mr. Young and old Cheng take on this great responsibility, and it must be three products and three products! In the future, the future is even more limitless. Xiaguan is just a four-grade mansion, and sooner or later you will all be Mo Shangguan, so you should treat Mr. to welcome Shangguan's gift, hahaha. ”

Zhang Kexin, Gan Zhihai and others followed and coaxed: "Mr. Luo, don't be humble, let us also get wet together!" Let's go, let's go! I couldn't help but pull and tug and hugged Luo Shifan in from the middle gate.

Deng Sen stood stupidly outside the door, scratching his head and making a fuzzy: "I am a serious second-rank deputy general, not to mention walking through the middle door, I am regarded like a dog by all civil officials, why is this?" was glared at viciously by Mo Qiushui, and he was so frightened that he shrank his neck, and hurriedly hung his head and trotted to follow.

Several officials were full of spring breeze, and their affection was like meeting a son and nephew who had not seen their relatives for many years - fortunately, it was Luo Shifan, who was replaced by other generals, and he definitely couldn't cope with this kind of scene.

There are only a few small changes to the materials listed on the list, and the young military division knows at a glance that it must be that there is really no one in the treasury of Xiangyang Mansion - because people have already taken the initiative to make enough compensation in other places, even Zhang Guji, who likes to take advantage of small advantages, will have nothing to say when he sees it!

As for the Gucheng garrison, Zhang Kexin even took out an order written to Jiang Zhonggang, the prefect of Gucheng County, and stamped the bright red prefect's yamen seal in front of Luo Shifan, and solemnly handed it over to the latter: "Mr. Luo, your army is as good as a stream, and the saints are widely used, and all the people in the world are His Majesty's sons, and we will be a family in the future." This order to Gu Cheng will bother you to send someone to send it. Staring at the alliance under the city as a soothing, this kind of serious freshness and refinement, so that Luo Shifan didn't know how to answer, so he had to take it with both hands respectfully, and replied: "Thank you, Lord Zhang."

Mo Qiushui was a little embarrassed in his heart. Xiangyang Mansion is easy to say, no matter how you can fool the past, but some terms must be acquiesced and cooperated by the three divisions of Huguang, which is a bit tricky. However, Luo Shifan had already been prepared, Mo Qiushui just raised a word, clapped his hands, and Sun Chunlong and a few others carried up two large wooden boxes and put them on the ground.

Luo Shifan said with a smile: "All the adults know that our army is sincere, but the marshal of my family knows that across the mountains and rivers, the adults of the Huguang Third Division may not be completely blind for a while. These things may be of some help, but it can be regarded as a way for the army to show its heart to the adults, and I have to bother the adults to convey it. ”

Guan Shengyun's seizure included a lot of cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings, gold beads and jade. It is a burden to go thousands of miles to fight with these things, but it is very appropriate to use them here, so Luo Yonghao picked some and asked Luo Shifan to bring them.

Chong Sun Chunlong nodded and opened the box, and the eyes of the officials were immediately attracted to the past, and they could no longer be separated: the bronze small tripod mottled with patina, the colorful beast head agate cup, and the crystal flawless jade pendant...... Luo Shifan casually took out the scroll scroll: "This is the "Ruihe Picture" of Emperor Huizong's imperial pen", and then took out another one, "This is Mr. Wang Youjun (Wang Xizhi)'s "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast" ......" As he spoke, his eyes did not leave the officials for a moment, and he observed for a while and asked with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, these should be able to make the adults of the Huguang Third Division understand the sincerity of our department, right?" ”

"Enough is enough." The overjoyed Mo Qiushui finally took his eyes off the two wooden boxes with difficulty, and thought to himself, "Don't say that the three divisions of Huguang, the few adults who want to come to the Beijing Division are also reasonable!" ”

Gan Zhihai's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Mr. Luo, where the duties of the subordinate are, there is something to be said clearly, Mr. is not strange." Your envoy mentioned that you want to set up a liaison office in Xiangyang Prefecture, how many people are you going to send? If there are too many people, it will surprise King Xiang and King Chitose ......"

Luo Shifan did not answer positively: "Don't worry, Lord Gan, the liaison office is just to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, and there won't be too many people." Adults should know that we are like this, because we can't live anymore. Now, if you can settle down, you can't ask for it. Who would disturb the peace of the prince Chitose? Huguang Sansi and Jingshi have to bother the prince Chitose to say a few words for us. As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Qiushui.

Mo Qiushui immediately understood, and continued: "Brother Nachuan, Mr. Luo is right. Everyone is for the court, Chitose, and they have to rely on Brother Nachuan. The three divisions are all foolish brothers' superiors, and Chitose's words are a hundred times more effective than us......"

Gan Zhihai sighed: "Brother Wang, Brother Weiting, you and I are in the same breath, and Gan should do his best." ”

……

The negotiation is done!

This knowledge point.

* Wang Jue and Wang Name: As I said before, the prince's Wang Jue is a word, and the Qing Dynasty used to use the name of the country in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as King Yan, King Qin, etc. In order to distinguish each vassal king of a certain prince, when he hangs up, he will be given a nickname to make a difference. For example, Zhou Ding Wang Zhu Hu, Zhou Xian Wang Zhu Youstew, Zhou Jian Wang Zhu Youjiao...... Note that those who are called like this are all dead, and those who are still alive are all called King Zhou. The king of the county is one level lower than the prince, and the king name is two words, using the name of the county, and the two words of the king of the county must be emphasized later, such as Zheng Chenggong, the king of Yanping County.

* History written by civil servants. See the previous section of Ming Wuzong's battle against the little prince: in the battle of more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands of people, even the little emperor was "an enemy", and only killed a dozen Mongols in total, and the Ming army died more than 50 in battle...... Who believes? Another example is Wei Zhongxian, who has never been able to get along with the common people, why is the folk reputation so bad? One of the important reasons is that he did one thing when he was in charge of Dongchang: didn't some civil officials fight to gain fame with a beating staff? When I went to court, I wore thick cotton pants in advance, and I also sewed a mat on my buttocks, and I didn't really beat my hands...... Lao Wei ordered: stripped naked and spanked, and beaten to death......
