"Hmph, these damn moths, they're really cheap!"

Tan Lun said, put aside the official document in his hand, and began to deal with the rest of the affairs.

At this moment, he heard a knock on the door, and when Tan Lun saw this, he had to temporarily put the brush in his hand back to its original position and commanded.

"Come in!"

"Yes, Governor!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Tan Lun's personal guard walk in and said respectfully.

"Lord Governor, here's a letter from the old trustee of Xu Ge!"

When Tan Lun heard this, a touch of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face, because he really couldn't imagine that Xu Jie had a reason to write to himself.

After a while, I saw Tan Lun suppress all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and immediately turned his gaze to the personal guard, and commanded.

"Well, bring me the letter!"

"Yes, Governor!"

After Tan Lun gave the order, I saw that the personal guard carefully took out the envelope from his arms and handed it to Tan Lun's hand respectfully.

After taking the envelope from the hands of the personal guard, I saw Tan Lun wave his hand and command.

"The letter has been received, you can go down!"

"Yes, Governor!"

The personal guard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the mission of his trip had been successfully completed, and immediately responded.

When he left, he also closed the door to the room.

After the personal guard left, Tan Lun was the only one left in the room, and he withdrew his gaze and looked at the envelope in his hand, on which were written the four big words 'Zili Qinqi'.

Tan Lun recognized it at a glance that it was Xu Jie's handwriting, and then the hesitation on his face became even worse: "Why did Xu Jie choose to write to me at this time, is it possible, is there something I need to do?" ”

With such doubts, Tan Lun didn't continue to think about it, and immediately opened the envelope in his hand, and began to browse the contents on it, only to see that it was written in the letter.

"Zili, how are you doing lately?"

"Not long ago, the food shortage in Zhejiang caused a shock in the DPRK and China, and the foolish brother was also quite worried about this, but fortunately, with the help of you, the governor of Fujian, the local mulberry farmers in Zhejiang turned the corner, and the foolish brother was quite pleased with this."

"Brother Fool is quite interested in the process, and I hope you will sort it out, Brother Fool is on His Majesty's side and ask for credit for you."

After Tan Lun finished reading the last word in the letter, he couldn't help but sneer, and said to himself silently: "Xu Jie, Xu Jie, your face is really thick enough!" ”

"The local mulberry farmers in Zhejiang are short of grain, isn't it you who contributed to it, but in the end, you still pretended to mention this matter in the letter, it seems that Your Majesty's earlier evaluation of you was not wrong at all!"

When Tan Lun said this, he paused for a moment and said coldly: "Xu Jie's villain, never use it, in my opinion, Your Majesty shouldn't use you as a villain!" ”

The more Tan Lun thought about it, the more angry he became, and then threw the letter in his hand aside rather casually, and began to think about the next countermeasures.

"Xu Jie wrote this letter to me, definitely wanting to take this opportunity to find out my bottom."

"Therefore, I must not show any flaws, otherwise, even if Your Majesty protects me, I will be plagued by endless troubles in the future, and I will never be able to serve Your Majesty well!"

"Just in this case, what kind of answer should I give Xu Jie?"

Tan Lun thought so, and immediately picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip.

I don't know how long it has been, but I saw Tan Lun come back to his senses, his eyes flashed with essence, and he said in a deep voice: "Hmph, don't you Xu Jie want me to sort out the whole process, then I will have a showdown with you, you go to Your Majesty to ask about the process!" ”

Tan Lun thought so, and immediately spread out the pen and paper, and wrote on the letterhead.

"Elder Xu Ge, the letter you asked someone to send to the lower officials, the lower officials have already received it, and the matter of transferring grain to Zhejiang is an order personally issued by His Majesty, and the lower officials have nothing to do!"

After Tan Lun finished writing such a sentence, he hesitated for a moment before picking up his pen and continuing to write.

"In addition, it is worth mentioning that since all the local bandits in Fujian have been exterminated, the lives of the local people in Fujian have also reached the point where they can barely survive."

"In order to consolidate the existing achievements, the lower official asks you to persuade Your Majesty to appropriately extend the period for Fujian to pay less taxes on the basis of the original!"

Although Xu Jie is an out-and-out worm, he Tan Lun still wants to take this opportunity to seek more benefits for the local people in Fujian.

After that, I saw Tan Lun put the brush in his hand back in place, and after the ink on the letter paper was dry, he put it in the envelope.

Immediately, I saw Tan Lun call his cronies and instructed: "Send this letter to Xu Ge Lao as soon as possible, understand?" ”

When the cronie heard this, he immediately took the envelope from Tan Lun's hand and assured him.

"Yes, Lord Governor, the little one must live up to your trust and send the letter safely to Elder Xu Ge's hands!"

After that, the cronie didn't linger long, and quickly turned and left the room.

Looking at the back of the cronie leaving, Tan Lun couldn't help but think so.

"No, I have to tell Your Majesty about this matter as it is, so that he can be prepared!"

After making up his mind, Tan Lun immediately spread out the letter again, and after studying the ink, he wrote on the letter paper with a brush full of ink.

"Your Majesty, not long ago, Weichen received a letter from Xu Jie, in which he asked Weichen about the beginning and end of the matter of going to Zhejiang to transfer grain soon."

"Wei Chen thought about it again and again, and finally decided to inform Yu Xu Jie's about your order to transfer food, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

"In addition, ...... these days"

Time passed slowly, and after the last word fell, Tan Lun breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself.

"Whew~ It's finally finished!"

After that, Tan Lun went through the contents of the letter from beginning to end, and after confirming that there were no errors or omissions in it, he carefully packed it into the envelope and called his cronies.

After the arrival of his cronies, Tan Lun did not rush to hand over the envelope to him, but looked up and down before he spoke.

"Put this letter into the hands of His Majesty as soon as possible, and no one will pass through it, understand?"

Looking at the rather solemn expression on Tan Lun's face, the cronie immediately looked grim and said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, even if the little one takes this life, he will have to deliver the letter safely to His Majesty!"

After receiving the assurance from his cronies, a slight look of relief appeared on Tan Lun's face, and he immediately spoke unhurriedly.

"Well, you must pay more attention and pay attention to safety on the road!"

"Yes, Governor!"

After this, the cronie was seen to look grateful, and immediately left the room without looking back.

After a while, the cronie rode on the fast horse that had been prepared for a long time, and galloped towards the next destination.

After sending two letters in succession, Tan Lun's hanging heart finally fell, and at this moment, he had no interest in continuing to deal with official business.

After a while, I saw Tan Lun get up from the seat, immediately open the door, and after passing through a long corridor, he came to the courtyard and began to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Maybe he was bored, but he saw Tan Lun retract his gaze and said with emotion: "Alas, Xu Ge Lao, it's still too late to rein in the precipice, and he has achieved the position of the second assistant of the cabinet, isn't it good to do something practical for the people?" ”

……

Since the last time the cabinet issued a new notice, after a period of waiting, Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, finally waited for the arrival of Tumaihan.

Obviously, both sides were a little caught off guard by this meeting, after all, who would have thought that the two people who had met not long ago would actually work together to quell the rebellion of the Chahar Department at this moment.

In view of the fact that there were still some suspicions between the two sides before this, in order not to affect the overall situation, Yang Bo, the left secretary of the military department, played the role of the peacemaker and mediated the contradictions between the two sides.

At this moment, in the chamber of the Governor's Palace.

Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, sat at the top, and Yang Bo, the left secretary of the military department, sat opposite Tumaihan.

"What is your opinion on the strategy we are going to adopt in order to quell the rebellion of the tribe as soon as possible, as mentioned above?"

After Yang Bo described the plan to Tumaihan in detail, Yang Xuan, who was sitting at the top, saw this situation, turned his gaze to Tumaihan, and asked.

When Tu Maihan heard this, a look of hesitation couldn't help but appear on his face, he looked at Yang Xuan, who was sitting at the top, and said slowly: "I think, is this plan too radical?" ”

At this point, Tumaihan paused for a moment and continued.

"If you follow your plan, won't all the leaders who participated in this rebellion be condemned?"

"I think that some people can be spared appropriately, for example, that Wei Zhengsu can stay, this person is a good hand in fighting!"

Yang Xuan, who was sitting at the top, immediately put this Wei Zhengsu on the must-kill list in his heart after listening to Tumaihan's proposal.

After this, I saw Yang Xuan come back to his senses, turn his gaze to Tumaihan, who was sitting on the side, and asked.

"Is there anyone else else who needs to be saved besides this Wei Zhengsu?"

Tumai rarely had this situation, and thought that Yang Xuan was asking for his opinion, and he did not suspect him, so he immediately said several names.

"Amutai is a powerful person in the tribe, if you can hold him firmly in your hands, you can sit back and relax, and in addition, there is ......"

After that, Tumaihan said several names in a row, and Yang Xuan silently remembered them, and he planned to talk to these people when the time came to lead the army to the Chahar Department to quell the rebellion.

It's fine if these people are willing to cooperate, but if they don't, Yang Xuan doesn't mind sending them on the road.

After all, the purpose of his trip, in addition to helping Tumaihan quell the rebellion among the tribes, also has another purpose, that is, to cut off Tumaihan's wings by the way!

At this moment, I saw Yang Bo on the side get up from the seat, immediately looked at the two of them, and proposed.

"Since the matter has been almost discussed, why don't we take this opportunity to go and proofread?"

Hearing this, Tumaihan suddenly sighed in his heart, he didn't know that this was a disadvantage of the Ming people to himself, but despite this, he was also full of curiosity about this Ming army that could defeat him.

Because of this, after thinking for a while, Tumaihan finally agreed to Yang Bo's proposal.

"Well, let's go check it out!"

After this, the three of them, escorted by the guards, left the governor's palace and marched in the direction of the city's school grounds.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the school grounds, Tumaihan was shocked by the scene in front of them, and everywhere he looked, there were all Ming soldiers in armor, neatly arranged, tirelessly practicing the battle formation.

Tumaihan could see from the movements of these Ming soldiers during the drill that these Ming soldiers in front of him were all elite soldiers.

After stopping to watch for a while, Tumaihan reluctantly withdrew his gaze, looking at the armor worn by those Ming soldiers, Tumaihan's face was full of envy, and he said to himself.

"Alas, if my army could have had so much armor, wouldn't it have been different?"

Not long after, the officer in charge of the school saw Yang Xuan and Yang Bo coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said respectfully.

"Xiaguan, I've seen Lord Governor, I've seen Lord Shangshu!"

I saw Yang Xuan wave his hand quite casually, and then he commanded.

"It's okay, we're just here to take a look, you keep busy!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Seeing Yang Xuan's words, the officer in charge of the school did not dare to stop at the scene, and immediately turned to leave, only sending a well-spoken soldier to introduce them to the surrounding situation.

Under the introduction of that soldier, Tumaihan was even more frightened, because he not only saw the armor worn by those Ming soldiers, but also the matching firearms, cannons and other weapons.

As he walked, he saw the soldier pause suddenly, turned around, and looked at Yang Xuan, his face full of embarrassment: "My lord, the place in front is where everyone tries out new weapons, look ......?"

After the soldier finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Tumaihan on the side, and the meaning contained in it was self-evident.

Tumai rarely had this situation, and when he was about to speak, he saw Yang Xuan nodding and instructing the soldier.

"It's okay, go ahead!"

After receiving Yang Xuan's orders, the soldier immediately gained confidence and immediately led the three of them into it.

As soon as Tumaihan entered it, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he froze in place, unable to speak for a long time.

The reason is simple, because he saw the weapon that caused him to fall into a nightmare in the first place———— grenade.

Following Tumaihan's line of sight, he saw a soldier take a grenade from his waist, light the fuse, and throw it into the distance.

This situation made Tumaihan's whole person a little trance, and in his mind, the bits and pieces of the battlefield at that time resurfaced.

After the grenade exploded, there were stumps and fragments everywhere, and those Ming soldiers were armed with Yanling knives, like chopping melons and vegetables, and easily annihilated most of their elite troops.
