Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 331 The Fierce Man Xing Xun
After Wang Shouren finished making arrangements, everyone exited the conference hall one by one and went to arrange the next thing to do.

Only Xing Xun, the magistrate of Ganzhou, stayed.

Xing Xun, courtesy name Ziyong, nicknamed Sanhu, was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Hongzhi.

Although he was born as a civil servant, Xing Xun has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face and wide mouth, and a tall and straight figure, which has the air of a military officer.

Xing Xun is actually nearly ten years older than Wang Shouren, but because of his tall stature and his martial arts practice, he doesn't look old at all. Compared to the thinner Wang Shouren, Xing Xun seems much younger.

Xing Xun was the magistrate of Ganzhou in the ninth year of Zhengde, and he arrived in Ganzhou earlier than Wang Shouren.

It can be said that when Xing Xun arrived in Ganzhou, he did not have the position of governor of southern Ganzhou.

Xing Xun is also a strange person. He used to work in the Nanjing household department, but because of his straightforward personality, he was often excluded.

When Liu Jin replaced Zhu Houzhao to assess the officials, Xing Xun was set up by others, became the target of Liu Jin's reform, and was dismissed.

In fact, he himself had never confronted Liu Jin at all.

After Liu Jin was pushed down by those civil officials, Xing Xun was gradually included in the camp of those civil officials because he had a certain connection with Liu Jin when he was dismissed.

Because when Liu Jin was there, officials who were dismissed would have ups and downs. Yang Tinghe heard that Xing Xun had skills, so he directly recommended him to Ganzhou, Jiangxi, which has the most bandits, as the magistrate.

When I received the letter of appointment and left the capital.

Because of Yang Tinghe's unintentional recommendation, Xing Xun can be considered as someone from Yang Tinghe's side, but some colleagues see him off because of Yang Tinghe's face.

Those people seemed to be congratulating him on getting the new position, but in fact, many people laughed at him, and of course some people were sympathetic and compassionate.

In the eyes of those people, Xing Xun was not promoted and reused, but relegated to exile.

Southern Jiangxi includes Nan'an and Ganzhou in Jiangxi, Shaozhou and Nanxiong in Guangdong, Chenzhou and Longchuan in Huguang, and Tingzhou and Zhangzhou in Fujian.

These places are poor and remote. For decades, this area has been plagued by bandits and has been invincible.

Whoever wants to be an official there is basically equivalent to being exiled.

The official circles regard southern Jiangxi as a daunting path, and the prefects in various places have been devastated by the bandits, and some even prefer to resign rather than stay in that ghost place.

Xing Xun didn't take it seriously, he didn't like the twists and turns in officialdom and offices.

He likes to study classics and history, and is familiar with military books. He has always wanted to find a place to show his fists and prove his research theory.

Difficult things can become great things!
This is Xing Xun's life theory.

This product is indeed a fierce product.

As soon as he took office, he learned that there was one of the most fierce bandit leaders, nicknamed Man Zong.

In fact, Mr. Man was originally considered a good citizen. He was tall and brave, with strong fists and feet. He was also righteous and devoted to his mother.

The family has a few acres of land, and when they are busy, they cultivate the land, and when they are free, they use their own skills to help people escort and walk darts, so they can live a decent life.

There is an old woman in Mr. Man's family, who only got his son when she was old. After he got married, the old woman was nearly 70 years old.

Mr. Man is filial, as long as he is at home, he has to wash his mother's feet every night. After getting married, this task is handed over to the daughter-in-law.

The mother is kind and the son is filial, and the daughter-in-law is virtuous. Such a life is not bad at all.

Who knew that there was a rich man in this city who saw Mrs. Manchu's daughter-in-law was pretty, and would go up to her and flirt with her when she met him on the street.

Man always has a bad temper, and he directly swung the hammer to beat the rascal.

His fists are powerful, that prodigal son often loses his health in Huajie Liusu, and with a few fists, he actually beats someone to death!
Mr. Man was arrested!

When his old mother heard about it, she fainted from anger and died within a few days.

In this situation, if the local officials were benevolent, they could let him go to the funeral to bury his mother, but the local officials colluded with the rich man and directly locked up Mr. Man and wanted his life.

Hearing that the old lady was dead, Mr. Man beat several yamen servants that night, rushed home, and sent his wife back to her natal home. After he took the old lady's body to the mountain for burial, he fell directly into the bandit.

Xing Xun learned about Mr. Man's situation, and directly broke into the bandit's nest alone, met Mr. Man, and revealed his identity as the new prefect, saying that he could be the main recruit for the bandits led by Mr. Anman.

The gangsters did not expect that a majestic magistrate would come to their lair to lobby. While amazed, they couldn't help admiring.

However, they did not believe in Xing Xun easily. They saw too many corrupt officials, and officials colluded to oppress them, the people.

Mr. Man directly denounced the hypocrisy of the officials, and threatened Xing Xun with power, and would kill him if he didn't leave.

Who knew that Xing Xun was not afraid at all, he dealt with it calmly, with awe-inspiring righteousness, and confided in his heart, knowing his interests;

In fact, Mr. Man was forced to go to Liangshan. He didn't want to live such a life on the tip of a knife.

His wife did not remarry after he went up the mountain to become a bandit, and said she would wait for him to come back.

His old mother's impromptu remark was to hope that he would be a good man and spread the branches and leaves for the whole family.

Xing Xun expressed his heartfelt understanding that Man Zong and a group of gangsters were forced to go up the mountain, and also said that his life was not satisfactory, and that he became an official to let the bottom people live a better life and so on.

In the end, Xing Xun and Mr. Man were sympathetic, heroes respected heroes.After pushing the cup and changing the cup, when he was drunk and his righteousness was thin, Man Zong was so grateful that he finally vowed to change his ways and start a new life.

Although we talked very happily, there is no evidence for words, and words are evidence!
Xing Xun was even more well-prepared, and this time he came with a "rectification notice" and a "bandit resettlement agreement", which both parties signed and pledged.

Without spending a single soldier, Xing Xun solved the biggest banditry problem in Ganzhou, and it became a good story for a while.

Xing Xun's prestige in Ganzhou has risen even higher.

In the 11th year of Zhengde, Wang Qiong, Minister of the Ministry of War, recommended Wang Shouren to be promoted to the imperial envoy of Zuoqian Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was the governor of Nan, Jiangxi, Ting, Zhang and other places.

Not to mention a person fighting with him, he is still his boss in suppressing bandits.

Xing Xun naturally paid attention to what kind of person he was, but when he saw a real person, Xing Xun was basically the same as when Wang Yin saw Wang Shouren.

A skinny old man with a sallow complexion, younger than himself, looks older than himself.

He still coughs from time to time, let alone suppressing bandits, as long as he doesn't cough and die!
Xing Xun couldn't help but slander in his heart.

Couldn't this be some kind of relationship, and the accountant arranged to come over again, right?
Hearing that it was recommended by the Minister of War, Xing Xun felt a little disgusted and looked down on him.

But the real person doesn't show his face. After getting along with each other, Xing Xun felt that he was too shallow.

Governor Wang looked inconspicuous, and when he was sitting, his thoughts drifted out of the window from time to time, as if he disappeared without knowing when.

But after several bandit suppression campaigns, this person came up with many intriguing schemes to suppress the bandits, and the formation of troops was like playing games.

grandma's!
This is meeting an expert!
Xing Xun sighed secretly, fortunately, he hadn't made too much publicity before and avoided embarrassment.

He is a broad-minded person, and he is pleasing to those who are capable. Since then, he has nothing but admiration for Wang Shouren.
"My lord, Zhu Chenhao's vanguard is said to have 2 people, why did we only dispatch more than 3000 people?"

Although Xing Xun believed in Wang Shouren, he still couldn't help asking questions in his heart.

Governor Wang always sent surprise soldiers, which made him very curious, and he couldn't help but ask about the situation.

"Zi Yong! This is just the vanguard, the real battlefield is not in Huangjiawan!"

Wang Shouren stroked his beard and smiled.
