Chapter 33: Courage

Zhang slightly laughed: "Haha, it's okay, in fact, there is nothing surprising, there is nothing left and right, let's talk about giving wine to the abbot." My family has lived in the capital for generations, I didn't know anything when I was young, I walked the streets and alleys, I was lazy to eat, I was brave and ruthless, I was lawless, I was ashamed to say it, and I was also a ruffian bastard in the market. Later, I had to meet a master and pass on my martial arts, and the idea of getting ahead was born. I remember when Jiajing was three years old, the draft in the palace, and my childhood sweetheart......

Alas, there were twists and turns, and I came to the border in a fit of rage. At that time, our Ming Dynasty was competing with Tibet for the township, so I went straight to Ning Fanwei. In the month of joining the army, he encountered the first battle in his life, beheaded two levels, and was promoted to a small banner. ”

Zhao Ran praised: "The cone is in the bag!"

Zhang Luo smiled: "In the days that followed, it has been smooth sailing, maybe I am also on the right path, I am a person, I was born to serve in the army." In the fifth year of Jiajing, he accumulated merit as the general banner. In the ninth year of Jiajing, he was transferred to Tianquan Liufan with Shangfeng to recruit the division, and he was promoted to 100 households. In the twelfth year of Jiajing, the Xia army broke the Great Array of White Horse Mountain, and the imperial court set up the Governor's Mansion of Western Sichuan, and I led my subordinates to fight in Songfan. First subordinate to Xiaoshanwei, Jiajing 15 years to move Diexi 1000 households deputy 1000 households, Jiajing 18 years to move the Song Domain to guard the army of 1000 households, 19 years after the victory of the White Horse Mountain, because of the official promotion of the Song Domain Guard command of the affairs, in April when the Hongyuan Guard was set up, with the post of the Red Plains to lead the Hongyuan Guard. ”

After listening to this resume, Zhao Ran couldn't help but be speechless, Zhang Luo's promotion speed is no less than himself, no family background, no background, he jumped six levels in 18 years, and entered the ranks of middle-level generals in the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of the small army in one fell swoop, which can be called an outlier in the army!

couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "If it weren't for the bravery, how could Zhang Shouyu have today, come, poor and respectful of the three cups!"

Zhang Luolian said that he didn't dare, drank the wine, shook his head and said: "In fact, Zhang can have today, only occupy two, one is always at the border, the most important military merit in the army, Zhang has been in the army for 18 years, after the battle of the township city, the battle of the arrow furnace and the battle of White Horse Mountain, there has never been a moment of stop, the big battle has been fought thirteen times, there are countless small battles, and there are not so many wars. The second is that Zhang is lucky and can live to this day, which is really incredible......"

Saying that, Zhang Luo fell into deep thought, and Zhao Ran did not urge, waiting for his next step.

“...... Of the 26 brothers who joined the army from the capital with Zhang, only four are still alive today. Zhang remembers clearly that there have been five mortal situations, and the brothers snatched me back with their lives, so Zhang's life is not his own, but the brothers' ......"

Zhao Ran waited for him to be silent, took a long breath, and hurriedly shifted the heavy topic: "Zhang Shouyu has been guarding Hongyuan for a year, right? What is the situation over there? When I went to Lizhou to do business the month before last, I passed by the capital on the way, and had a drink with the Jingshou Palace Land Supervision Courtyard. ”

Listening to Zhao Ran talk about Hongyuan, Zhang Luo said: "There is nothing inconvenient to talk about here, not to mention the establishment of the Hongyuan Special Evangelism Area, I heard that it was a strategy proposed by Abbot Zhao in Ye Xueguan, and it is necessary to keep secrets for others, but it is not necessary for Abbot Zhao." Speaking of which, I've been in Hongyuan for a year, and this year's feeling is not only aggrieved, but also aggrieved!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"In the past, when I was in the army, I either faced Tubo or Western Xia, in short, I fought in military formations, and I didn't need to worry too much, as long as I was thinking about fighting. But after taking over the errand of the Red Plains Guard, he was bound everywhere to do things, and he was very unhappy. Let's talk about the recent thing, in the first month of this year, the White Horse Temple held a New Year's Day Lent Jiao, and informed all the leaders of the three major and small departments of Hongyuan to be present. But only a third of them came that day, and the leaders who did not come refused to come under various excuses. Later, after a detailed investigation, these people were all holding Maitreya Christmas pujas in their own villages! Moreover, many villagers quietly invited monks from Xia Kingdom to preside over the puja!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ran was very surprised: "It's been a year since I joined the Ming Dynasty, and these people still dare to blatantly hold a puja? The abbot of the White Horse Courtyard is Zeng Zhili, right? How did he deal with it?"

"Abbot Zhao knows that among the three departments of Hongyuan, the White Dragon Department has the most people and the strongest strength, with a total of seventeen villages, of which there are three with more than 2,000 people. According to the news we found, the Zhebo village at the foot of Zhebo Mountain was the most arrogant in holding the Fa, and invited six monks. Abbot Zeng immediately ordered the White Horse Courtyard Hall to go to Zhebo Mountain to arrest the monks......"

Zhao Ran interrupted: "Do these monks have practice? If they have, then this move will be a bit Meng Lang." ”

Zhang Luo shook his head and said: "I don't know this, I guess no, even if there is, these monks have not used Buddhism to make a move." ”

"Didn't make a move?"

"I didn't see these monks at all. After Fangtang's men went, they were blocked at the foot of the mountain by Zhebo Zhai and were not allowed to enter the mountain. Brothers of the Fang Church...... The Taoist leaders of Fangtang were also anxious, and flew to report to the White Horse Courtyard, when the abbot Zeng was not there, the Yuan Prison Yuan asked the Imperial Court to send troops into the mountain......"

Zhao Ran recalled for a moment and asked: "This Yuan Prison Yuan is Yuan Hao, the former guest of the Governor's Mansion of Western Sichuan, right?" At that time, when Zhao Ran went to Hongyuanshu, he suggested that the Taoist Academy and the official office should be integrated, the abbot was selected by the Daomen to preside over the preaching strategy, and the Prison Yuan was selected by the Western Sichuan Governor's Office to be filled by practical personnel, and awarded to Dao Mu, who actually presided over local government affairs as a supervisor, and Yuan Hao's Taoist position in the Prison Court came from this.

Zhang Luo nodded: "Yes, it is this person." After the Yuan Prison asked for help from my guard, I sent Zuo Qianhu Ning Deshou to lead the troops, and the army set up a position at the foot of Zhebo Mountain, preparing to enter the mountain to clear Zhebo Village. But then Abbot Zeng got the news and rushed to the foot of Zhebo Mountain, ordered the army to retreat, Ning Qianhu had nothing to do, so he had to lead the army back. ”

Zhao Ran asked, "What did Abbot Zeng think, and what was the reason for his withdrawal?"

Zhang Luo said with a smile: "First one, the time for the Ming Dynasty to capture the Red Plains is still short, and this matter must be considered in the long run, not impatient, otherwise the fight will start, and the entire three parts of the Red Plains will be unstable." Second, it is a matter of education, and it is advisable to slow down rather than rush it, and everything must be done with virtue, and blindly being tough will only exacerbate the situation. The third, this is to capture the monks, not to start a war with Zhebo Village, since Zhebo Village has already stated that there are no monks in the village, and the White Horse Academy has no empirical evidence in hand, it can only withdraw the army, otherwise it is a violation of the original agreement with the three departments of Hongyuan. ”

Zhao Ran was stunned, shook his head and said: "This Zeng Zhili, haven't you heard that the Miao rebellion has been quelled......?

"So" what, Zhao Ran is not good to say clearly, in short, the style of acting makes him unhappy.

Zhang Luo said: "I have also heard about Abbot Zeng's rebellion in Miao, and when I inquired later, Abbot Zhao knew how he quelled the rebellion of Miaobu?"

"I don't know. Zhang Shouyu said to hear it?"

"In the winter of the fifteenth year of Jiajing, he entered the rebellious Miao village alone, influenced the Miao people with small words and righteousness, made the Miao people put down their swords and guns, and returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

"That's a lot of guts. That...... How did you punish the Miao people in that rebellion? I heard that the villages under the mountain were slaughtered, what did you do with them?"

"The Miao people have all returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and several leaders have each been rewarded by the imperial court. Who does Abbot Zhao think he wants to punish?

"Wouldn't that be the ...... so many people died?"

"Dead in vain!"
