Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

After such a incident happened, everyone was in a bad mood, but they had agreed to go to the banquet, so they could only forcefully cheer up and rush to the place where Li Xianfeng was hosting the banquet.

The banquet was held in a flower hall in the governor's yamen. The five-bay room was filled with hosts, guests and accompanying guests. There were more than ten tables, and more than a hundred guests accompanied the host. It was extremely lively.

During the banquet, there were plenty of food and wine, and there are still many seafood dishes in this season, which is very rare.

Surrounded by orchestral vocal music, to help Yaxing.

Li Xianfeng was [-]% curious about Zhang Shouren, [-]% appreciative, and [-]% wary. [

The attitude of him and some Henan civil servants is very obvious. Henan is fine and very safe, so it is better for Zhang Shouren and others to leave the country as soon as possible.

Although the soldiers and horses of Denglai Town look very elite, this day outside the city of Kaifeng, including the prefectures and counties that have returned from Denglai Town soldiers all the way, said that the soldiers and horses under Zhenglu's command are strong, and the military discipline is rare. Along the way, the people have not been disturbed, but a strong army is at the side of the couch, which still makes people feel uneasy.

This feeling also made a group of Fushan generals very uncomfortable. Sun Liangdong and Qian Wenlu sneered non-stop, making the people at the same table very embarrassed.

"Incompetent, stupid and ignorant!"

After the banquet, Zhang Shouren and his subordinates went out to the governor's yamen. They were all his own people on the left and right. Zhang Shouren said to everyone: "Henan is in danger, but these civil and military officials are just like what people say, Wen Tian and Wuxi, look at them." , maybe in the near future, they will beg us with a completely different attitude from today."

"What will happen then, my lord?" Sun Liangdong teased and asked.

"What's going on today, what's going to happen tomorrow."

Zhang Shouren's voice was stern, but everyone burst into laughter.

……

……

At dawn the next day, three groups of guests came to the camp.

The first group was the Volunteer Taisha in the city who came to reward the battalion army. They probably felt that the guest army was passing through the border, and it was unreasonable to send some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. The number is very limited. The price of goods is also very expensive. These gentry are reluctant to part with it, and they don't want to make connections like Huang Shu. At the same time, they are not as capable as Huang Shu, so the items they send are very limited.

Then Huang Shu rushed over. When he came this time, many generals in the camp knew him very well. Seeing Huang Tuiguan, many Fushan generals greeted him affectionately.

Originally, as Huang Shu's identity, there should not be generals who greeted him in an equal and affectionate tone. It was either a humble voice of greeting, or a voice of alienation with a hint of hostility. In the army in front of him, it seemed that every general was careless. Yes, very confident in his own status and identity, and doesn't care too much about the identity of the person he deals with.

For Huang Shu, this is really a new experience...

He brought two groups of people, one group was the food delivery team. Huang Shu was very capable. When everyone was having a banquet yesterday, Huang Shu called a meeting of the city's gentry overnight to urge the Yiyong Taishe to send out people. At the same time, Kaifeng The prefectural office issued tickets, and the grain was first topped by the grain stored in the treasury, and then the hole was slowly filled.

This is of course simple and efficient, and the efficiency is very high. After all, the food promised by the king of Zhou and the governor’s office has not yet been seen. According to the speed of those bureaucrats, the procedures can be completed in ten days, and the master can send the food. A designated location is fine.

For a guest soldier waiting for supplies, waiting ten days or eight days is nothing, but judging from Huang Shu's feelings for Zhang Shouren and his subordinates, asking them to stay here for ten days waiting for supplies may be a big deal. No way.

Huang Shu is a very capable person, at least in the official system at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was a very capable talent. Some people may have thought of this kind of maneuvering skills, but as soon as he thinks of it, he will do it, and he will be praised by the superiors without disgust. It is his personal ability to exercise power and invite soldiers and horses from other towns. [

This time, more than 1000 stones of grain were sent, which are basically fine grains for people to eat. In the afternoon, there were more than 3000 stones of coarse grains, which can be eaten by people and horses.

Based on Huang Shu's superficial impression of the Fushan army, the coarse grain must be fed to the horses, and it must be sufficient. Grass is eaten, coarse grains are eaten by soldiers, and fine grains are sold for silver.

In addition to the military rations, there are more than 300 orphans without parents, ranging from fourteen to five-year-olds to three-to-four-year-olds. The young ones have been taken care of for a few days after their parents died, but if they go on It must be the life of dying in the ditch. In this kind of world, who can be kind for long?

"Have a heart, have a heart!"

Zhang Shouren just glanced at the food, replenishing the food was only a matter of the safety mechanism, he didn't take it very seriously, but he was very anxious about the teenagers and children in front of him.

Looking over one by one, all the children are tightly huddled together, warming and comforting each other.

Outside the city of Kaifeng in October, there is dry grass all around. Inside the endless horse-blocking wall is a majestic city. After this wall and Bianshui, there are empty official roads and dots of villages.

In the city, they might have a mouthful of leftovers at any rate, and they could shelter from the cold and keep warm in places like Guandi Temple, Earth Temple, etc., so as not to freeze to death.If they were left behind in this wilderness, there would be only one dead end.

"Are you going to adopt them all as adopted sons?"

Huang Shu was quite curious, wondering how Zhang Shouren arranged so many orphans. There are more than 300 children, only a small half of them are girls. After all, the whole family must take care of boys these days. Girls’ lives are not taken care of. It’s not that the family members are cruel. The single boy must be left behind to inherit the cigarettes, otherwise, even if he dies, he will not feel at ease, so often the boy can live to the end, because even if there is only one bite to eat, a family will definitely eat the boy first.

Although barbaric and even backward, if a nation survives, its civilization must have rationality other than cruelty.

The matter in front of him is like this.

"No, not at all."

Adopting orphans as adoptive sons was also a common practice of the generals of the Ming army at that time. For example, when Mao Wenlong was in Dongjiang, he took in hundreds of thousands of people. With Zhang Shouren's current status, he was qualified enough to do such a thing.

But he shook his head: "These children are the blood left by their parents who fought their last breath. I will not change their surnames and make them my descendants. I am too ashamed of them." My parents and relatives are gone. On the other side of Fushan, there will be a lecture hall to train generals to use in the school. I will bring these children back to Fushan, let them study in the school, and cultivate them to become talents so that their ancestors can rest in peace in Jiuquan."

Huang Shu was terrified and moved, feeling very respectful, but he couldn't speak when the words came to his lips.

When these children heard it, they burst into sobs.

"Give them hot soup to eat, not too much, if they are hungry for a long time, if they eat too much and are too full, something will happen."

Zhang Shouren's arrangement is actually much more clever than accepting these boys as adoptive sons.Accepting adopted sons seems to be connected by blood, but in fact these teenagers have different hearts after they grow up. Although the loyalty is indeed higher, there are also a lot of troubles.

What about those who rely on their status to bully others?

What about lawbreakers?He was punished, and people said that Zhang Shouren was not benevolent, and that was the way people were at the time, if he didn't care about it, he would be messing with his laws and disturbing the hearts of the people inside.

When Zhu Yuanzhang accepted his adopted son, he was sent to various places to supervise the army, and Fushan's military law office and military and political system were very mature, from urging soldiers to write letters home, send money home, to the details of life. There are special propagandists, very effective.The generals need to be transferred from the platoon to the sentry, and then to the team-level military law officer for approval, and report to each level. Without the consent of Zhang Shouren and the deputy signature of the level, the first battalion general can directly command. It is his own soldiers. [

Under such a system, why accept a group of adopted sons who may cause trouble as supervisors?

Of course, Huang Shu couldn't understand such a deep level. He could only praise Zhang Shouren's high morals incoherently. To be honest, Huang Shu himself was surprised. The military generals of the Ming Dynasty in this year have been ruined by civil servants from the root. Still studying, boasting of integrity, being loyal to the emperor and patriotism is no joke, otherwise with Yue Fei's strength, how could a few gold medals recall him, and how could he, his son and general be killed in the storm pavilion?

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen in the late Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, military generals embezzled military pay, lost public wealth and private interests, supported their families, and fought against the wind. Otherwise, they would not have any psychological burden at all if they abandoned their allies and fled. There is no psychological scruples, thieves come like a comb, and soldiers pass like a grate. This is what people said at the time, and it is not an exaggeration.Generals are generally illiterate and don't know what loyalty is. It is true that the emperor himself took the lead in breaking the law, but military generals have been domineering and lawless since the end of Wanli.

This kind of performance by Zhang Shouren was really rare among military generals. It was simply outstanding, and the peculiarity made Huang Shu feel that he couldn't praise him.

The third group of guests came quickly, saving Huang Shu from the pain of talking, and he was relieved.

In this group, Chen Yongfu brought more than a dozen of his trusted generals, all wearing military officer robes and riding high boots.I probably know that most of Zhang Shouren's subordinates are armored with scales. The auxiliary soldiers have long and short cotton armors to wear. The gunners wear chain armor or half armor, which is equal to breastplate. It is a more high-end Shanwen, and it feels extremely sophisticated.After visiting the camp yesterday, Chen Yongfu and others wisely removed their armor, and came here today in military officer robes.

"Chen Junmen, I am very grateful for your kindness. But we warriors don't have to say those hypocritical polite words. If we have the opportunity to fight side by side with you in the future, Denglai Town will definitely repay you."

Zhang Shouren's wooing of Chen Yongfu was also very obvious, and he didn't shy away from it in front of Huang Shu.

However, there is nothing taboo about it. At that time, it was common for Dajun Township to cooperate in fighting, and Chen Yongfu was very happy to agree.

At the same time, he also pulled a young man in his twenties by his side. He was wearing the robe of a fifth-rank military officer. The belt on his body was tightly tied. Showing a good upbringing, Chen Yongfu pointed at the young man and said with a smile: "Zhenglu, this is Chen Shoubei, and he is also a doomed dog."
