Chapter 392 Chongzhen Three Years, A New Beginning

In the study in the back hall of Chicheng General Office, Zhang Cheng hastily read the letters written by Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, and Yang Guozhu, the general soldier of Xuanzhen. He sat on a chair and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhang Cheng opened his eyes and said, "It's a pity!"

Lin Fangping was taken aback for a moment: "Supervisor, what's the pity?"

"It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you. I read Chen Duchen's letter today, and I happened to think of the incident recorded in the Jingzhong Mansion Newspaper. Jin Guofeng, the commander-in-chief of the Ningyuan regiment in Liaodong, died for the country in a bloody battle with the slaves in Songshan City. It's a pity!" Zhang Cheng said lightly.

He got up and walked around the study for a few times before standing still in front of the window, and said: "Fu Zonglong, Minister of the Ministry of War, has also been resigned and sent to prison, the current Holy Majesty may prefer Chen Duchen to return to Beijing and serve as a soldier.

In the letter, the governor also urged the commander to recruit brave men as soon as possible and step up operations. In his letter, he had the intention of returning to Beijing to serve as a soldier. The situation has eased slightly, coupled with the stability of Liaodong, entering the court, just around the corner! "

"I don't know who will be the governor of Xuanda!" Lin Fangping was quite worried about this.

Zhang Cheng also thought about it, but he really couldn't think of who would succeed Chen Xinjia as the governor of Xuanda. Now he only remembers that when Li Zicheng was in Chongzhen for 17 years, Zhou Yuji was the chief soldier of Shanxi, and Wei Jingyuan, the governor of Shanxi, was the governor of Xuanda at that time. It's Wang Jimo!

He was still standing in front of the window, and said in a deep voice: "No matter who takes over as the governor of Xuanda, as long as Chen Duchen is the soldier, it will be fine, not to mention that we have actually controlled hundreds of thousands of households on the North Road today, and we have healthy people. There are tens of thousands of sharp soldiers, if anyone else comes to be the governor of Xuanda, what can he do with me?"

Lin Fangping thought it was true. No matter who is the governor of Xuanda, he doesn't want to cause trouble, so naturally he won't move Zhang Cheng's position. Moreover, when the imperial court is rampant, soldiers from all over the country will be mobilized at any time, and Zhang Cheng has tens of thousands of troops. Wouldn't it be more important.

Zhang Cheng had already walked back to his seat and sat down, and said, "Jin Tai, please go and invite your Teacher Wang to come over."

"Here!"

Zhang Jintai responded and left.

Zhang Cheng said to Lin Fangping again: "Fangping, you can go home to accompany Mrs. Lin these few days. After the Chinese New Year, you come to Beijing with me and my wife."

"Here. Fangqing is taking care of me at home, and I have been guarding the commander-in-chief at the general office for the past few days." Lin Fangping said.

"No, you're tired after returning from a long journey. You can rest for a few days, and you can also show your filial piety at the knees of the old man. The general office has its own guards on duty. Don't worry. After the fifth day of the first lunar month, I will start on the seventh day." Go to the capital." Zhang Cheng ordered.

"Here!"

The three chatted for a while, then Wang Yuanjing and Zhang Jintai rushed over, and they exchanged pleasantries after entering the door.

"Marshal, summon Yuan Jing, I don't know what to order!" Wang Yuanjing asked after entering the study.

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Come, Wang Daxiu, sit down and drink tea."

Zhang Chengfang hastily poured tea for Wang Yuanjing, and said respectfully, "Hi, teacher!"

It has been nearly ten months since Wang Yuanjing taught Zhang Chengfang how to read and write. These children are quite respectful to him.

After Wang Yuanjing sat down, Zhang Cheng said: "Yuanjing, you should take care of yourself during this time and help me draft a few memorials first."

"what?"

Wang Yuanjing was shocked. Although he had been with Zhang Cheng all this time, he had only been in contact with the memorial, and he hadn't figured out the twists and turns.

He couldn't help asking: "What does the commander-in-chief want to play?"

"First, please set up an admiral's mansion in Chicheng to supervise the military affairs of the North Road; second, please add a guard at Dushikou, and use Qianhu or Kaipingwei as the commander to strengthen the defense of Dushikou pass. All matters; third, please add a guerrilla to the North Road, stationed in Yunzhou, so as to assist the dangerous places in the castles and castles on the North Road at any time."

Zhang Cheng continued: "For these three memorials, you should first draw up a first draft. After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I will go to Beijing to accompany my wife back to my mother's house for a while. Moisturize."

Wang Yuanjing didn't breathe a sigh of relief until this time, and said: "The commander-in-chief has scared Yuan Jing, at most he has sent official letters to the governor's yamen before, but today is a memorial to the current emperor, Yuan Jing is really very timid in his heart what!"

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "I'm afraid of the ball, so what if you are a scholar, or how about a scholar or a Jinshi? You are a handsome person, and that is the most important thing!"

He stood up while speaking, and said loudly: "You must remember that you are under the command of this commander. From today onwards, no matter when and where, you must not lose face of this commander or my Beibei!" The name of the road.

I don't wait for the bullying, and I don't fear others will bully us, let him be a high-ranking official, and have my own commander to back you up! "

…………

On New Year's Eve, Zhang Cheng and his wife Ji Xuanzhu stayed with their mother, aunt and aunt Wu's cousin. They drank tea and chatted, or played horse hanging to watch the new year together.

During this time, the sisters of the Liu family played and sang even more. The two of them were very happy to be accepted by the head of the house, Ji Xuanzhu, and to continue to live in Zhang Cheng's residence.

Moreover, from Ji Xuanzhu's words, the two of them have already heard that as long as her sisters are obedient in Zhang's mansion, they can no longer serve the general Zhang Cheng. They can be given the title of concubine.

Because of this, she has been more obedient around the old lady recently, and she has more respect for Ji Xuanzhu. She has to go to pay her respects to the head mother every day, until Ji Xuanzhu asks her mother-in-law to come forward to stop her.

New Year's Eve, the last day at the end of the year, is also known as "Sui Chue", which means to remove the old year and replace it with a new one, also known as New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Eve.

At Xushi, Zhang Cheng and Ji Xuanzhugong invited their mother, aunt, and Wu's cousin to the table, together with their cousins ​​Zhang Lifang and Wu Tingyue, to have a reunion dinner together.

Ji Xuanzhu made an exception and allowed the sisters of the Liu family to also come to the table. They made up nine people and took [-]% of the goodwill. Zhang Cheng and Ji Xuanzhu.

As soon as the child's hour passed, there was a burst of firecrackers outside the mansion, everyone stood up and bowed to the old ladies, and then they went forward to bow to the head of the house, Ji Xuanzhu, and everyone had an extra red paper wrapped Red envelope.

Everyone came to the yard outside the hall happily. Firecrackers rang out and fireworks illuminated the sky. The lively scene made everyone forget the cold for a while.

The two maids, Yurui and Xiuyue, kept distributing red envelopes to healthy women and mothers-in-law who had been busy all the time. In the midst of joy, everyone bid farewell to Chongzhen for 12 years.

Greeting the beginning of the 13th year of Chongzhen!
