Zhang Zhou left the Santun camp with his three thousand soldiers and horses.
Liu Yu greeted Liu Yu as he came and said farewell when he left. He still did enough etiquette. He didn't think anything about it, but all the people who came out with him to give Zhang Zhou a farewell. Confused.
It was agreed that Zhang Zhou brought his troops to Jizhou Town to fight, so why did he leave after staying for two days?
Forget the welcome, is it really necessary to send him off with a big fanfare
p>
Zhang Zhou mounted his horse and led the people to walk far away without even looking back.
Zhu Fengle turned around and leaned towards Zhang Zhou, asking, "If Brother Zhang doesn't stay, won't I stay too?"
Zhang Zhou had an indifferent look on his face. He said, "If you want to stay and make contributions, I will make it happen for you, but you are a local general in Jizhou, neither a general nor a deputy general. When you dispatch troops and horses, someone will listen to you."
" Yeah." Zhu Feng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Knowing how much he weighed, he also knew that without Zhang Zhou's help, he would not be able to achieve any results. In addition, there were already some old grudges between the Jingying camp and the local soldiers in Jizhou, and Zhu Feng didn't want to Stay and cause trouble for yourself.
Zhang Zhouyi has only been out of the city for a day. He has just stepped out of the official road and is still a day's journey from the nearest iron ore mine.
There are fast horses from the capital here to deliver a message, saying that the towns in the northwest have begun to take the initiative in accordance with the emperor's will. They are patrols in name, but in fact there are many troops marching everywhere. Mendao, especially Datong, was the most decisive in sending troops.
Wang Shouren led his troops to Maoerzhuang and then to Weininghai within two days, demonstrating the strength of the Ming Dynasty's elite mobile troops.
"This is a good hand." Zhang Zhou said.
The person who came to deliver the message was none other than Guo Ang, the envoy of Fusi Town in Jinyiweibei Town. He arrived at Yongping Mansion on horseback. At the same time, he also informed that behind him there was the eunuch of Dongchang, the admiral. Li Rong and Jin Yiwei commander Mou Bin can be said to have all the best guards in the factory this time.
Guo Ang said, "His Majesty also affirmed Xin Xin Bo's ability in court, and specifically mentioned Cai Guogong for your recommendation. It was your discerning eye that allowed Xin Xin Bo to show his strength like this." opportunity."
"Really?" Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "I recognize many people, such as you Guo Zhenfu. If you go to the battlefield, you should be fine."
< p>Guo Ang naturally knew that his words were extremely insincere, and he was not deliberately flattering him, but rather meant to be funny.Guo Ang hurriedly said, "If Beizhi really had the opportunity to go to the front line, he would not have insulted the military power of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that Beizhi is not specialized in military strategy, and he is also very unfamiliar with dispatching troops and horses." , it should be left to Cai Guogong, Xinjian Bo, and capable people like Anbian Hou." Zhu Feng said on the side, "Guo Zhenfu should be more suitable for arresting key criminals and capturing the thieves. You are good at it."
Guo Ang also didn't expect Zhu Feng to be so direct. He said, "I have been ordered by Eunuch Li to come here first and remove the troublemakers in the local area."Capture them together. I have already sent a group of people to Yongping Fucheng. "
"Yongping Fucheng" Zhang Zhou frowned slightly, "How many people?"
"Two hundred people. "Guo Ang said, "If everything goes well, it's not a big deal to raid homes and seize people. Considering the humble position, it's not advisable to be too showy now. It shouldn't be difficult to start by knocking on the mountain to scare the tigers and kill the chickens and monkeys.
Zhang Zhou nodded and said, "So, the officials and gentry of Yongping Mansion are going to be in trouble." "
Guo Ang said, "Although my humble position is based on the order of Eunuch Li, it is actually the order of the emperor. Anyone who goes against you, Duke Cai, is going against your majesty and the court. Jin Yiwei has the responsibility to protect those who do wrong." catch. When Eunuch Li comes in person, he will bring thousands of people, and no one in Yongping Mansion will dare to cause trouble again. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhou couldn’t help but glance at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng took a breath.
Zhang Zhou initially said When it came to breaking up with the local officials, Zhu Feng thought that the matter was so important that he should put peace first. Now he could see that Zhang Zhou had the emperor's full support behind him. When the Dongchang Jinyi Guards were dispatched, they were still operating in units of a thousand people. The Yongping Mansion was turned upside down, and he seemed to be sorry for the factory guard's trouble.
Liu Yu sent Zhang Zhou away, and he was very depressed.
He gave Zhang Zhou a gift. Confiscated, even the money was withdrawn intact, and he went to show his goodwill to Zhang Zhou in person, but Zhang Zhou almost slapped him in the face, which made him a little embarrassed. What's even worse is that Zhang Zhou sent troops to patrol the border in Jizhou Town. Not mentioning it at all is equivalent to saying that Zhang Zhou came here and seemed to have done nothing, so that he didn't even get a chance to show his courtesy.
He had just sent him away, and he was still there after nightfall. In the governor's office, he was studying the information investigated by the scouts in detail, and thinking about how to send troops to satisfy Zhang Zhou and the emperor. This secret servant came to inform him about the activities of the Jin Yiwei in Yongping Mansion.
"Sir, I heard that Jinyiwei has sent hundreds of people to Yongping Mansion. The people who came to Ji Town to visit you and Cai Guogong may not have returned yet, and their homes have been ransacked."
The guest's name is Xu Hong, who was hired by Liu Yu when he was an official in Shanxi. This group of people was good at business.
Shanxi merchants were very good during the Hongzhi period. Said to be a powerful force in the business world.
Liu Yu said, "What does Jin Yiwei have to do with it?" There was a fight, but in fact the officers and soldiers at the mine were very restrained. What Cai Guogong said at the banquet was probably because he was angry about this matter. Now the Jin Yiwei came to arrest him on his behalf. "
"Hey. Liu Yu said, "If I had known earlier, wouldn't it have been better for me to detain those gentry and hand them over directly to the Jin Yiwei?"
Xu Hong was also surprised.
He wanted to ask Liu Yu, proprietor, whose side are you on? Shouldn't we move closer to the civil servants?Do you mean that you want to wholeheartedly stand on the side of the sycophant whom the civil servants said?
"Are there just a few royal guards here?" Liu Yu asked next.
Xu Hong thought for a while, seemed to remember important things, and said nervously, "I heard that there are still big people coming, maybe the top of the factory guard, or even the internal officials of the admiral Dongchang." Come in person."
"No, Eunuch Li, the admiral of Dongchang, is old. Even if he wanted to come, he would not be physically strong. However, a few ruthless guys from Jinyiwei would be enough to defeat the local group. Officials and gentry drink from a pot," Liu Yu said.
Xu Hong reminded, "Sir, you haven't seen the retinue around Cai Guogong. Any one of them is a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu. I heard that there was another Jinyiwei Qianhu who was attacked after arriving at Santun Camp. He was actually shot with a bow and arrow. If Cai Guogong takes revenge, he may cause chaos in Yongping Mansion."
Liu Yu sneered, "That's just because the people below are ignorant. It has nothing to do with me. I am in charge of the officers and soldiers of Ji Town. The local affairs of Yongping Mansion have nothing to do with me.” It may not be related to this matter."
It means that because of the local mining incident, Cai Guogong may think that this matter is related to your inaction, or he may think that you are the mastermind behind the scenes, and indirectly regard you as Alien.
Liu Yu was a little bit dumbfounded, "When I saw him, he was like that. He wished he could kneel down and beg. Ahem, that's it. Do you still think that I have the intention to go against him? It seems that I can't do anything if I don't do something else." The local generals have probably already obeyed the order and mobilized their troops. Zhang Butang is still in Yongping Mansion. It would be unreasonable if Ji Zhen does not send troops."
"What you are saying is" Xu Hong could tell that Liu Yu was eager to express himself in front of Zhang Zhou.
Liu Yu said, "Tomorrow, let Ruan Xing mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to send troops outside the fortress from where the town is."
Xu Hong quickly reminded, "Sir, There are no traces of Tatars outside of us now. There will be none this year."
Liu Yu said angrily, "Daning City is still there. It was an important border town outside the Ming Dynasty Pass. Xinjian Boneng sent troops. Inspecting Weininghai, I sent troops to inspect Daning City. The road is a little further than his, which can better demonstrate the power of our Ming army."
"What if"
Xu Hong felt that the governor of Jizhou was a little greedy for merit in order to achieve meritorious service.
Daning is quite far away from the Santun Camp where Jizhou Town is stationed, and there has never been an army of the Ming Dynasty stationed in the north. If they really encounter the main force of the Tatars, I am afraid that the local Jizhou It is still difficult for the soldiers and horses to get a bargain from the main Tatar force.
Liu Yu slapped his hand on the table and said, "If Datong, Ningxia and other places can succeed, Jizhen will not fall behind others. The glory of the Battle of Huangshui, have you all forgotten? I dispatched troops and horses." "If you still don't believe it, just obey the orders and act."
Xu Hong was naturally speechless.
This governor of Jizhou is making money and maintaining the so-called people's livelihood, and doing politics.Really good at performance.
But fighting is no different from that of a layman, and Liu Yu will not personally lead troops out of the customs. This means that the merits and demerits are all in the hands of the generals below. Xu Hong is very worried about Liu Yu.
After all, Li Rong was old and frail, and the weather was a bit hot in summer, so the carriage did not move very fast. It took three days of driving before we arrived at Yongping Prefecture.
This is considered very fast.
But compared with Li Rong’s expectations, it was still a little slower.
"My father-in-law, Guo Ang has already met with Cai Guogong, and based on what he reported, two people from the Hundred Household Camp have been sent to Yongping Prefecture to collect information about the mines that were previously closed to Yongping Prefecture. "The people from the Zhao family who caused the most trouble have been arrested."
After stationing that night, Mou Bin went to report the matter to Li Rong.
Li Rong asked "Which Zhao family?"
Mu Bin said, "They are a big official in Yongping Prefecture. Their ancestors were Jinshi. These generations have backgrounds in the court." , Even in the time of Jingtai and Chenghua, there were ministers and other officials in the court who supported him. There were thousands of hectares of land in the area, and Jin Yiwei had some conflicts with him before. "
Li Rong frowned and said, "You are not taking this opportunity to retaliate, right?"
Mo Bin quickly explained, "There was a little misunderstanding before, but he himself is a relative of the emperor." The background is that there are connections in the palace, and there are ministers in the court who support them. In the past, even the Jin Yiwei would have to take a detour when they saw them."
"Then what are you going to do to provoke such a person?" Li. As soon as Rong heard this, he knew that the so-called person with a background in the palace was not him, but he must be someone who was not easy to mess with even he, Li Rong.
Such as Xiao Jing's group, or the Yuma Jian and Yu Yujian's groups.
Although Li Rong is the eunuch of the East Factory and is relatively senior in the palace, according to the rules, the forces in the palace each manage their own territory, and it is difficult for them to interact with each other. Intervene.
Mou Bin said, "That's no more copying."
Here Mou Bin said it was unfair to avenge himself, but in fact, Jin Yiwei finally seized the opportunity, with the support of the emperor and Li Rong, and next to him. There is also Zhang Zhou, a big tree. If he doesn't take the opportunity to kill the Zhao family who once offended Jin Yiwei, Mou Bin would feel sorry for the brothers below.
Mu Bin himself does not want to cause trouble. After all, his principle is to keep a low profile.
However, the Jinyiwei's commission also needs to be maintained. After all, it is not always possible to get rid of some local forces, especially the Zhao family has a huge family property, which is coveted by the Jinyiwei.
The Zhao family has been dealt with, why not let others take the blame?
Li Rong waved his hands and said, "We have already sent people, and now we are going to recall them, how can we tell them?" "If you arrest the wrong person, then let's make the mistake."
Li Rong was also very annoyed.
But Li Rong knows the rules anyway, and he must comply with the wishes of the people below him when appropriate. He cannot say that he forces the people below him too hard, especially when it comes to some things.Only in this way can you win the respect of those below.
Mo Bin said, "Next, should we go to see Duke Cai Guo or go to Yongping Mansion first?"
"Let's go slower. To see Duke Cai, you go to Fucheng first." "Li Rong said, "You also said that the Zhao family has a lot of influence in the local area. It will be more convenient for you to go there in person, and you should bring more people. If there is a conflict, use the local people in Yongping Mansion. The government, take our family’s token, I don’t believe the local officials dare not cooperate.”
“Yes.” Mou Bin respectfully accepted the order.
Li Rong was about to send Mou Bin away overnight, when he suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "If you don't do it, just keep doing it. But if you do, don't leave any way out, and kill it as soon as possible." , you don’t need our family to teach you.”
Mou Bin said, “I understand that if I want to take action, I will not give the Zhao family a chance to make a comeback, and I will kill them.”
Li Rong said angrily, "It's good to know. He dared to go against Cai Guogong and deserved to die, but this is not the reason for you to ransack his house. You should be charged with a more serious crime. It happened that the Liaodong Tongfan incident happened in Yongping Prefecture. There may be some family involved in this. You can find a crime and put it to death.”
Mo Bin then realized that this good old man Li Rong was known to be ruthless in his actions. hot.
If you want to do something, you must do it absolutely. Not only can you help Zhang Zhou, but you can't let the Zhao family's backers in the court have anything to say.
Tongfan is a good crime. As long as it is provoked, people related to it will be afraid to avoid it. Even local allies who have been on the same front with the Zhao family will probably also do so after hearing about this crime. For fear of avoiding it.
Of course, there are people who are qualified to be charged with this kind of crime. Even Mou Bin himself may not have that authority, but Li Rong is qualified.
"After Cai Guogong finds out, he won't blame him?"
Mo Bin asked. He was afraid that Zhang Zhou would blame Jin Yiwei if he knew that Jin Yiwei took the opportunity to retaliate against his political opponents.
Li Rongdao: "Cai Guoping is always kind and cheerful, but you think he has no means to say anything. A person with no means can get to where he is today as long as you work for him wholeheartedly, even if he knows the reasons behind it." , you will also turn a blind eye. Of course, you must do things beautifully and not cause trouble for Cai Guogong."
Mo Bin seemed to be emboldened by someone, and at the same time, he seemed to be emboldened. He said confidently, "This humble position will definitely handle this matter properly and beautifully."
"Then go quickly," Li Rong said, "Yongping Mansion is relying on you. Our family can't continue to be in such a hurry. Let's go see you." When I get to Cai Guogong, I have to rest for a few more days. It's rare to get out of the capital, so I just come here to relax."
Mou Bin rushed to Yongping Prefecture with a group of Jinyi guards from Qianhusuo.
Before he arrived, he learned the news that after Guo Ang reported the matter to Zhang Zhou, he also personally took people to Yongping Mansion. Guo Ang was probably afraid of going there to do something. When a person encounters setbacks, he feels that heThe official position of Fusi Town Fushi in Gebei Town is enough to intimidate people and can get things done.
On Zhang Zhou's side, he arrived at the mine. He first went to the Yongping Mansion Mine, which was originally established. It was in the south-central direction of Yongping Mansion, not close to the city.
Zhang Zhou just arrived at the mine and learned about the situation inside the mine. He also tested the quality of the newly mined ore. He was told that Li Rong would be able to follow him in a day or so. Also, Mou Bin has already gone to Yongping Fucheng.
"Brother Zhang, why are the commander of the Jinyi Guards and the envoy of Fusi Town of Beizhen in a hurry to go to Fucheng? Is the matter over there more difficult?" Zhu Feng asked.
Zhang Zhou said, "It's a shame that you worked as a servant in Jinyiwei, so you don't even understand this."
Zhu Feng said with a childish look in his eyes, "It seems that you understand, but you don't seem to understand." It’s hard to tell.”
Zhang Zhou said, “The interests surrounding Gyeonggi are too involved, and as Jinyiwei is a powerful yamen, you think they don’t want to keep power and money in their arms. After all, this is It's a game of grabbing food."
"Then will they grab Brother Zhang?" Zhu Feng was a little worried.
Zhang Zhou shook his head and said, "Not yet, but there is no guarantee that it won't happen in the future. It depends on who is in charge of the factory guard and the extent of the benefits they can seek. But they want to use His Majesty to support me, so go ahead." It's not unusual to seek their own interests. From what I expected, those local families who had some trouble with Jin Yiwei may be in trouble this time."
Zhu Feng said, "It's not about those who follow me. You can’t convict people who are causing trouble, right?”
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, “If you have the power in your hands and are qualified to take other people’s property as your own without having to bear the risks behind it, you won’t I will do this."
"I, I won't." Zhu Feng thought for a while, but he still hesitated.
But Zhu Feng still wanted to be shameless. He really didn’t have the shame to do anything clever and plundering.
Zhang Zhou said, "You can't, but others can, and they can do it very straightforwardly. If others have one penny, they can take away two. Just like I am mining in the local area, others also want to use it." It's just as convenient for them as local cowards to take my things as their own, it all depends on who is more ruthless, and then they don't have to be responsible for their own actions."
"What about that?" Zhu Feng asked.
"The result is that the local forces in Yongping Mansion are expected to be completely reshuffled this time," Zhang Zhou said. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
