Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"My lord benefactor, my unworthy disciple Zhang Shouren pays homage to me..."

Zhang Shouren's letters are simple and uneducated. Although his level has been modified, after all, it is not comparable to the scholar-officials in this era who can extract every sentence from the Four Books and Five Classics. Most of the private letters are written by others, but once they are written by themselves, they are simple. Nothing fancy, all the truth.Use the reader to read tens of millions of novels, completely without ads!

A few months ago, when Liu Jingyao first took office, the two masters and apprentices had considered and commented on both the scenery and dangers of Fengyang Governor's position.

Not to mention the scenery, the governor is usually the fourth rank in the country, and the governor has the post of Jiashilang, or Jiaben Shangshu, and he becomes a senior official of the second rank in a flash.

To be an official in the Ming Dynasty, he was either a CI Lin official at the beginning, and he entered the Hanlin as a minister. After a few years, he opened a workshop and became an official of the Zhan Shidong Palace, and then he was transferred to a minister, a minister, and a cabinet scholar. [

This is the shortcut to Zhongnan, and it has to be the treatment that only the top [-] or [-] when Jinshi is ranked. The rank of Jinshi is not high, and it is much more difficult to be an official in the local area. There are not a few people who go home sadly after serving as county magistrates.This road has never been so easy to walk.

Although it was money spent by military officers and students, for Liu Jingyao, there was no way to refuse the temptation to climb to the top. With the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, he became the governor of the second rank, and he could see his ancestors even after death.

But after taking office, I realized that the risk is not small.

The governor of Fengyang wants to manage the two defense areas of the governor of Fengyang and the governor of Anqing. He originally planned to be stationed in Huai'an Mansion. Later, Zhang Shouren suggested that Liu Jingyao go to Fengyang first, and then go to Luzhou or Anqing in the future. Students have always had a good eye, and Liu Jingyao arrived in Zhongdu with his entourage and all the guards of honor.

Only after this did I know that the governor is still a bare-bones commander, and there are some weapons and food, but it is too nonsensical to ask Liu Jingyao to train by himself. Will he train until the year of the monkey?Moreover, there are no capable generals, and military training is simply a matter of fishing for moons in water. If the governors of other places have the background of supervising and bidding, it is easy to get started. This Fengyang governor is newly established, and everything starts from scratch. Except for some personal soldiers from Fengyang Left Guards Department, Governor Liu has no monkeys to lead at all, and he is actually a poor commander.

The governor of Fengyang is specialized in military affairs. Years ago, it was better. Years later, news came that Zhang Shouren, his favorite disciple, had killed Zhang Xianzhong. Now Luo Rucai and others joined the Fifth Gezuo Battalion and fled to Yinghuo Mountain, where they hid It is only a few hundred miles away from Fengyang, and there are no important military towns to stop him along the way. If a bandit makes a joke and comes to Fengyang, he, the governor, has no choice but to throw himself into a ring and hang himself.

Such a rush every day, fortunately, Zhang Shouren, a good disciple, has not forgotten his teacher. Now it is written in the letter that he has found a good lieutenant general for him. He is strong and domineering. , this person is far away from his hometown in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, and he has the confidence to invade, so I am afraid he is not so rebellious.

Liu Jingyao didn't worry too much about these words. The word domineering is quite suitable for Zhang Shouren himself, and it is even worse. Since He Renlong can lead troops and has strength, then the tune will come .With such a confidant team, his waist as a governor will be hardened. As for the position of the Minister of the Ministry of War and the governor, how can he be promoted to the post of a general town?

"very good!"

After reading the letter, Liu Jingyao was very happy, and wrote a reply in a hurry, and said to the banner official from Dengzhou Town: "Tell your lord, the old man will send someone to deliver the special package to the capital, and deliver it to Tongzheng. for what he wrote."

"Yes, if the boss says it, the villain will definitely bring it."

"Well, there is nothing else to say. If there is a suitable candidate, just ask him to recommend it."

"Yes!"

The flag officer responded again, seeing that Liu Jingyao had no other orders, he took the letter with both hands, and walked away backwards.Seeing such a situation, one of Liu Jingyao's confidants was brought over from Dengzhou, and said with a smile: "No matter what position Rong Chengbo is in, it seems that he still treats Dong Weng with the same respect as before."

"This is what the old man is gratified about."

Soldiers must look up to their superiors. If Zhang Shouren didn't take himself seriously as a teacher, these subordinate soldiers would certainly not be so respectful. From this point of view, the compliments from the staff are also appropriate.

"By the way, Guohua advised me to ask for more food and salaries. From now on, we will set up more pond policemen in the rivers and ponds of the main roads. This is easy to handle. Anyway, these guards are from the Fengyang Left Guard Division, but you The old masters who are in charge of money, food and soldiers should not slack off, and don’t let others get too much money into their own hands. It’s not easy to give it to them if they know it!”

"Yes, Don't worry!"

Zhang Shouren's suggestion is that after Liu Jingyao has the field strength to become the Chinese army, set up a few more generals and guerrilla garrisons in various places, build more checkpoint military forts, build more firearms, link villages, and establish laws. Assistance within the specified time is the same for his supervisor, so that even if there are thieves coming, he can also mobilize the power of the people to the local government instead of relying on him alone. [

This method is actually the Qing Dynasty reformed the local military system of the Ming Dynasty. The Manchurian soldiers were the main force in the field, and the green battalions were stationed in sections to clarify responsibilities. The system needs to improve a lot. In the Qing Dynasty, even in the last few decades, Guozuo could not be lost. If it weren't for the imbalance of the central government and no one restraining Yuan Gongbao, it would be really difficult to rely on the group of Paogong people to succeed. possible.

Now that Liu Jingyao is full of ambition, he doesn't feel that his proud disciple has encroached on his governor's authority. After all, Zhang Shouren is not from the perspective of official business, and he can't restrain Liu Jingyao, a second-rank governor. Suggesting it based on personal relationship is considered private. helped.

"Dong Weng has such a good disciple, three or four years later, it is unknown if the governor will really get rid of Da Sima!"

"Haha, if this is the case, the strange encounter between me and Guohua will be a good story in the history of the country in the future."

Liu Jingyao smiled while twisting his beard, the smugness in his eyes could not be erased no matter what.

……

……

After Liu Yuanbin and Lu Jiude came down from the city, they were accompanied by a large number of entourages, as well as some close confidants and generals of the Beijing camp.

"Originally, I was so enthusiastic that I wanted to make a big show here in Huguang, but what happened is that it made others cheaper!"

"This person can be regarded as an expert in the fashion of the capital. Now that he has gained face, we should also gain some respect!"

After going down to the city, the two eunuchs confided in secret, and there was no need to hide anything. The smile on Lu Jiude's face was completely suppressed, and he said in a deep voice: "I can't let him go alone, right or wrong? ?”

"Well, what do you think, brother? But there is a saying, and our family obeys it."

Lu Jiude is not the supervisor of the Huguang side. He came here this time to strengthen the strength of the supervisor, and he can go back to his own jurisdiction after the matter is over.A few years later, he became the eunuch guarding Nanjing and one of the troikas guarding the city of Nanjing. When the Qing soldiers approached the city, he was naturally one of the backbone of the surrender faction.

Eunuchs have no money and are not greedy. Zhang Shouren spent a lot of money in Beijing. In addition to helping Xue Guoguan get through the joints in the palace, he also paid a lot of respect to those eunuchs. Otherwise, his development in the past two years would not have been the same. smooth.

"Send someone over there." Liu Yuanbin smiled darkly: "It makes us feel bad to see him proud, but if he knows how to do it, then it's fine!"

……

Before dark, He Renlong ordered a few yards next to the restaurant in Xinghua Village in the south of the city, arranged for his own soldiers, and ordered these subordinates to take good care of the horses and feed more concentrate... Horses are most likely to get sick in spring , Running back and forth is even more fat loss. If you don't make up for it, a large number of people will die on the way back.

The best war horses cost dozens of taels of cheap ones, and the death of a war horse made him feel more distressed than the death of a few battalion soldiers. Only a few of these subordinates in front of him were servants, and most of them were selected personal soldiers, not his congratulations. family.Seeing that the soldiers were lazy and didn't want to move, He Renlong waved his whip, hoping to whip some unlucky ghosts.

But when he was about to start, he remembered Zhang Shouren's persuasion to him, he hesitated, paused, and cursed: "You donkey bastards, take some scattered money and go to the mule and horse dealer in the city to hire some guys to take care of it." Horses, you just have a good fucking rest, you are tired from running back and forth with me... Go to Xinghua Village and have a few drinks, just don't fight and fight, and don't compete with others for whores!"

"Yes, don't worry, handsome!"

"We must not cause trouble, hehe."

Although He Renlong is only a lieutenant general, his subordinates have already been called commander in chief, so he didn't take it seriously, flicked his horsewhip, touched his beard on his chin, and strode out like a shooting star. Door. [

Zhang Shouren lives in the city, less than three miles away from He Renlong's residence, and most of them are avenues. This Xinghua Village is close to the South City Gate. When Xiong Wencan was staying in Xiangyang, it was the best place for the generals in the city to gather. , There are also a lot of whores sitting in it, military generals are not like civil servants who hold their identities, prostitution and drinking are the true qualities of martial arts, so this place is most popular with military officials.

After Yang Sichang moved into Xiangyang on the festival, he affirmed the military law and strict military discipline, and the military officers in the restaurants and brothels in the city were much less. However, He Renlong took away his partial generals, leaving only ordinary small troops and soldiers. They go to the restaurant but there is nothing taboo.

When passing by the front of Xinghua Village, He Renlong glanced greedily inside and saw many familiar faces in a group of gangsters, and immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Then he saw a group of officers and soldiers with bright helmets and armor, gorgeous clothes, and swords inlaid with gold and silver threads. Sichang didn't want to restrain them too much, so he spit out bitterly, beat his horse and galloped, and soon went far away.
