Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"Lao Luo, this is a document approved by your lord, please check it."

"Yes...well, the inspection is correct, brother Shiqiang, please take someone to fetch food."

"Well, let's go."

Because there are still many hungry mountain people in the nearby mountains, after hearing the news of the release of relief, many hungry people came from hundreds of miles away. The disasters in Huguang and Xunxi areas were not as severe as those in Henan and southwestern Shandong, but they were not serious. There are a lot of mountain people engaged in production.

When Zhang Xianzhong was in the area of ​​Baiyang Mountain, he often bought a village of mountain people with dozens of catties of coarse grain to inform him, so the movements of officers and soldiers were well known. [

After the arrival of Dengzhou Town, they released aid to the mountain people, which was much more generous than that of Xiying, so the people's customs gradually changed, and it was more difficult for Xiying to obtain information than before.

In addition, the Military Intelligence Department and Lin Wenyuan's presidency blocked Xiying's eyes, otherwise, the main force of Fushan would not have been able to suddenly appear on the battlefield, and the battle was a foregone conclusion.

Afterwards, the people in the area of ​​Baiyang Mountain loved and benefited a lot, and thousands of stone grains were distributed to tens of thousands of mountain people, so that these people had a good year. The number of hungry people in more than a dozen nearby prefectures and counties suddenly doubled.

In Gucheng area, there are at least over [-] people!

In such a situation, of course relief is a must. On the second day of the lunar new year, Zhang Shouren called a meeting of the generals, and with a few words, the matter of relief was decided, mainly handing it over to Zhang Shiqiang of the Central Military Department.

The original supervisor of storage was Zhang Shilu, but now Zhang Shilu is in charge of the artillery battalion. He is cautious in fighting, advances and retreats with a degree, and has the style of a general. It would be a waste to put this good hand in charge of storage.

Luo Guoqi, the current director of the storage office, was born as a clerk in Qianhu Office in Fushan.

"Two thousand silver, two hundred shi of refined grain, and [-] shi of coarse grain, all received and inspected."

Not a moment later, the people brought by Zhang Shiqiang loaded the food and silver on the car, and filed out. Here, Zhang Shiqiang listened to the report, wrote his name on the material booklet, and then stamped it, which means that the formalities are complete.

"Today is the fourth day of the lunar new year," Luo Guoqi said with a smile, "After today's work is over, the hungry people began to disperse one after another. It can be regarded as a full moon prayer for the major general on the sixth day of the new year. It's not bad."

"Well, probably we adults also have this consideration."

Zhang Shiqiang smiled, gave a military salute, and led his subordinates out of the camp with the silver and grain carts.

On the outside of Taiping Town, that is, outside the security line of Fushan soldiers, along the southeast to northwest of the town, a place of more than ten miles long gathered a large number of hungry people. After the relief in Fushan, each household can receive several Two scattered pieces of silver and dozens of catties of grain. With these silver and grain, these mountain people can survive until the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. In summer, there are many wild vegetables and fruits, and they will not freeze to death no matter what.

A group of hundreds of Fushan soldiers came out of the camp and escorted dozens of carts. The people they saw along the way all avoided them and began to praise them non-stop.

The civil servants and generals who rushed to attend the meeting and the military meeting also came along the way. I heard that when Dengzhou Town released relief again, the military generals did not say anything, and the faces of the civil officials were much brighter.

Some looked disdainful, probably because they thought Zhang Shouren was trying to buy people's hearts, some looked indifferent, irrelevant, and didn't worry about it, and there were also a few people with solemn faces and heavy thoughts.

Among the crowd, Fang Kongzhao also came in a hurry, surrounded by his cronies, staff and soldiers.

Yang Sichang impeached him, Jinyiwei Banner School had rushed to Xiangyang, but Yang Sichang did not call the Banner School to open immediately, but asked the Banner School to postpone the opening, and waited for the military meeting to be held in Gucheng. He ordered that the imperial decree be read in public , Fang Kongzhao was deprived of his official position and taken away in public.

If a governor is dealt with decisively by him, it will have a miraculous effect on the deterrence of ordinary civil and military officials. [

Of course, it is impossible for Fang Kongzhao himself to know these thoughts. At least at this time, he did not expect that after he became the governor, he would defeat the peasant army many times, lead his troops to fight against the bandits many times, and win many times. Very old, with his own status and merit, the emperor would remove him from office and arrest him mercilessly, just like Xiong Wencan did.

At this time, he saw the Fushan soldiers helping the hungry people, and Zhang Shouren's good reputation of loving the people like a son spread around Huguang Xunyang, which was praised by everyone, and many people even set up longevity tablets for Zhang Shouren.

"If Yang Wenruo didn't protect him to the point of arrogance, even if he has made great achievements, he should be impeached!"

Fang Kongzhao is a well-known old bureaucrat. If he is capable, he is more confident and headstrong.Passing by the long street at this time, I saw Zhang Shiqiang and others going to many places where the hungry people were. After a while, there was a loud voice of praise, and even the voice of long live.

When I arrived at the hotel to stay, I was still angry.

But for a while he didn't care about these things, Xun Yang and Huguang soldiers and horse generals, there were a lot of people coming, most of the military generals paid homage to Zhang Shouren first, and most of the civilian officials came to pay homage to him, the governor, first.

"My lords are very polite, please forgive me for not being able to pay my respects one by one. During the New Year, let's have a bowl of tea together."

The Fang family is also a rich family in the south of the Yangtze River, but Fang Kongzhao is considered a clean official. There are dozens of officials who visit him. Each person has a bowl of tea in front of him, and a plate of snacks on each table. This is considered a first-class hospitality.

"Master Supervisor and Assistant Minister, do you know when you will arrive?"

"I heard it's the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."

"Oh, so I'm going to celebrate Zhang Zhenglu's child's full moon."

"Hey, if you don't have this name, I'm afraid it's not easy to attend the family banquet of a deputy chief soldier with the honor of a cabinet scholar."

"Oh, that's really inappropriate."

"The lower officials will not go anyway... The lower officials are ordered by the court to guard the Muzhu River, but they are not the servants of the elders. Besides, there is no reason to force civil and military officials to make friends in private."

"Shang Xian called to participate in the military meeting, and the lower officials had to come, but for a banquet held by the deputy general, the lower officials really wouldn't go to praise this event, so that it would be degrading!"

"Well, what the old man said is very true, and the younger brother will never go."

Among the civil servants, there are many people with bad tempers, and those who rushed to Fang Kongzhao's place must be the hardest and smelliest group of civil servants.

When everyone said that, Fang Kongzhao just smiled and listened.

Of course he won't go to the banquet. Zhang Shouren is not liked by Donglin and Fushe, and he has a bad reputation. Now he is on the cusp of the limelight. Although most officials have to submit to Yang Sichang's move, the rebound will not be small in the future. .With his dignity as a governor, even if he accepted the post and refused to go to the banquet, others would not find any reason for him.

He would give him a congratulatory gift, but he also asked someone to make a small golden lock card according to the zodiac, worth less than ten taels of silver, just a small thought.

"The most urgent thing is not to talk about these things."

After many officials talked for a while, Fang Kongzhao put down the tureen and said solemnly: "My generation is either in charge of military affairs, or in charge of food and roads, or in charge of animal husbandry. The most important thing is to eliminate the thieves and restore the safety of Huguang and Xunyang. In this way, if you live up to the Son of Heaven, and if you live up to the head of Li, you can be regarded as the actions of a benevolent gentleman. Looking at it today, Xiying is going to the border between Xunyang and Sichuan. Although, the most urgent task is to urge all the towns to work together after the beginning of spring to wipe out Luo Rucai and the fifth battalion of Gezuo! The local government has prepared weapons for wages, but the army can't do without wages. We have both, and the beautiful end of Huguang and Xunyang fighting……"[

He has a lot of unfinished remarks, such as the thieves here are driven out, the supervisor may return to Beijing, or move to another town, and the interference in Huguang Xunyang is much weaker.

A proud soldier like Zhang Shouren would naturally move in the direction the rogues were heading, and the place would naturally be much calmer.

To have such a perfect ending, the officials in front of them must live up to their expectations.

Be less greedy, do more practical things... These words surged up and down Fang Kongzhao's throat for a long time, but he couldn't utter them. Once he said these words, he would offend more people. At this moment, but It is a time when everyone is united in the same hatred, and offending others, you might as well take it easy...

Furthermore, when the water is clear, there will be no fish, as the predecessors said, it still makes sense...

……

……

When Fang Kongzhao was hesitating, two soldiers and horses also gathered together on the diagonally forked road less than five miles outside Taiping Town. , Both flags were pointed at the official road leading to the town. For a while, people rushed to the horses, and the vanguard troops with more than a hundred riders gathered together.

On the road on the right is a high-ranking military general wearing a mountain armor in front of him and a red cloak behind him. He has a red face with Chinese characters, a short beard on his chin, and wild and wild eyes. The coexistence of brilliance, and even a bit of cunning brilliance, such a general is very impressive at first glance.

Beside him is a group of cavalry wearing short armor. In the cold weather, they have drawn their swords in their hands, and their eyes are cold. As long as they give an order, they can swing their swords forward.

Opposite them, there is a group of cavalry wearing iron armor. The clothes are gorgeous, and the swords and swords in the hands of many cavalry are also decorated with gold and silver ornaments, which are very expensive. Behind these cavalry, the generals in the middle of the team are wearing gorgeous purple flowers. , wearing a cloak made of soft mink fur, which is very expensive at a glance.

"Zuo Kunshan?"

"Crazy He?"

The two leading generals saw the opposite person at a glance, and they both snorted coldly at the same time. In comparison, Zuo Liangyu was naturally more confident.

General Pingzei, the commander-in-chief of the town, has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. He Renlong is only the deputy general of Shaanxi, and his first troops are only [-] soldiers from northern Shaanxi from Mizhi.

Although the combat power is strong, the difference in strength is a bit bigger.

"unlucky!"

He Renlong spit on the horse and scolded: "I'm really unlucky to go out and run into ghosts. Forget it, let's take a few steps back and tell them to go first."
