Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

The fact that Zhang Shouren summoned the congratulatory dragon for dinner made the entourage very puzzled, but an order is an order. Before dark, a square table was set up in the living room. It was bright and bright, and when He Renlong arrived, he was not told to wait, and was brought directly from Yimen to the living room.

He Renlong didn't dare to look at the food and wine on the table, but he smelled the aroma of the food and wine. He came here after a few days of driving, and today he only ate some dry food on the horse, but Zhang Shouren didn't come out, and he didn't move at all. If he dared to move, he could only stand and wait obediently, but his throat couldn't help rolling up and down.

Fortunately, Zhang Shouren didn't tell him to wait for a long time, and within a quarter of an hour, Zhang Shouren in casual clothes came out in a hurry.

"The general will meet the general at the end."

He Renlong wanted to bow, but Zhang Shouren stretched out his hand to stop him casually, He Renlong felt a strong force, and his power of bowing was easily blocked. [

He was taken aback, and couldn't help showing some color on his face.He is from Mizhi in northern Shaanxi, and the He family is also a family of generals. He has built up his strength since he was a child, practicing stone locks, hand-to-hand combat skills, bow and archery, all of which require good arm strength.Although He Renlong has studied, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and ordinary people are no match for him when he exerts his strength. Now that he has tried this, he understands in his heart that Zhang Shouren's strength is far superior to his own, and at the moment he feels that Zhang Shouren's strength is far superior to his own. It's a bit of respect.

When it comes to military training and serving in the army, He Renlong has already convinced Zhang Shouren. His temperament is not so easy to talk to, and such respect to Zhang Shouren is not for nothing. When he beat Li Zicheng in Shaanxi, he still listened to what Hong Chengchou said, even if it was Sun Chuanting. He only listened to the governor of Shaanxi about [-]% to [-]% of what he said. There were always some things that he refused to follow orders, and he always had to find some awkwardness to make it happen.

This kind of character also made him go farther and farther, especially when Yang Sichang shot himself in the foot with a stone. First, he asked Zuo Liangyu to give Zuo Liangyu the seal of the general who suppressed the thieves. Privately promise this seal to He Renlong.

That's what the promise was made, but Yang Sichang didn't give it to him as he wanted, and Zuo Liangyu was strong after all, so there was no way to win the seal.

But this offended both sides, Zuo Liangyu didn't listen to orders even more, He Renlong also started to be domineering and arrogant, and didn't listen to the propaganda. , can be regarded as self-inflicted.

At this time, He Renlong didn't have the slightest arrogance. His temper was nurtured by the incompetence of civil servants. In front of a general like Zhang Shouren, who is both civil and military, with excellent martial arts and skills, this deputy general was trembling and fearful. Very much.

"General He, please sit down."

"Thank you, General, for your seat."

Sitting down with his hips slanted, He Renlong finally saw the food and drink in front of him.

A fat duck, a Mushu meat, a lettuce dish, and a river fish dish. On the square table, the four dishes are still steaming. The wine is put in a thermos pot and heated in water, so the aroma is particularly strong.

"There are no dishes, wine, but Yuluchun brought from the capital, it is considered a good wine."

Zhang Shouren raised his chopsticks, counted the time, and gave way: "Please!"

After moving his chopsticks and drinking the wine, He Renlong's expression became much more relaxed. Zhang Shouren intentionally got acquainted with him, and had drank with He Renlong many times when he was in Taiping Town, but that was a group of people, so alone. , it was the first time, and He Renlong didn't relax until after a few rounds of drinking.

Next, Zhang Shouren chatted with him about the military discussion, and He Renlong also asked about Zhang Shouren's plans.

"General He, I'm telling you the truth, please don't pay attention."

Since the other party wanted to inquire, Zhang Shouren didn't hide anything, and replied frankly: "With more than 4000 people in your department and Wu Yuding's strength, there are only [-] or [-] people. What kind of real military exploits have been grabbed?"

He Renlong showed embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "The general is taking care of me, the last general..."

"Even if I am here, I still have to rely on my military merits. Besides, I am ordered to go north to attack the captives. After all, Governor Yang is the master here."

As soon as he said this, He Renlong's expression became even uglier.Yang Sichang's reliance on Zuo Liangyu is obvious. When the capital left to go south, he brought Zuo Liangyu the seal of the general who suppressed the bandits. After a year, because of Zhang Shouren's status change, Yang Sichang felt embarrassed and sent a special staff to Zuo Liangyu. In the Liangyu Army, they announced that they would cancel the penalty for Zuo’s defeat last year, and promised to give priority to Zuo Liangyu’s Huguang Town officers and soldiers to replenish the lost armor... This is well known, and neither side intends to hide it . [

When the news came out, He Renlong was very disappointed. The Shaanxi soldiers were like motherless children. When Hong Chengchou was around, the Qin soldiers always had some supplies. Every day is worse than every day, anyway, not to mention the extra ordnance and military training expenses, even the military salary is rarely paid.

This level of supply made He Ren Long Kong ambitious but unable to expand his own series. Now the general seems to value him, but there is always the possibility of going north. Once Zhang Shouren leaves, he will be helpless again.

Excited, He Renlong put down his chopsticks and said loudly: "The last general is willing to go north with the great general!"

"Hey, forget it. General He has suffered for many years, and so have his subordinates. I can't bear to take you to the north to fight Donglu."

He Renlong regretted his words as soon as he uttered the words. It was not what he wanted to fight Donglu. He was not Cao Bianjiao and Zuo Guangxian. They came from the Liaodong army, and it was their Liaozhen's responsibility to fight the Eastern captives.

Fortunately, Zhang Shouren rejected him right away, and He Renlong's expression relaxed.But thinking about the bleak future, his expression turned gloomy again.

Zhang Shouren smiled slightly, and was just about to say what he had prepared. Tonight and before that, his efforts to subdue He Renlong and the Ming army in the south and northwest, at least make some preparations in advance. After a few years, he will become his own When planning the layout, many of the preparations made now will come in handy.

Just like playing chess, it is best to make some preparations in advance so that you can see more and take more steps.

Before the words were spoken, the lamps and shadows under the steps of the flower hall shook, and Zhang Shouren frowned, knowing that something important had happened.If not, under my own order, no one would bother me without authorization.

"My lord," it was Li Zhuoran who came, he looked indifferent, and after a military salute, he reported: "There are some eunuchs outside who came to ask for an interview, saying that they have something important to do."

"Eunuch?"

"It must have been with the Beijing camp to the south, and it should be the companion of the eunuch Liu, the supervising army."

"Oh, did you ask what's the matter?" Zhang Shouren still knows a little about the eunuch's activities, and the most useless eunuch also knows to use tiger skin as a banner. If it wasn't really sent by Liu Yuanbin, he probably came here Knocking a few taels of scattered silver flowers... The eunuch has a big tone, but sometimes his appetite is not too big. After all, there are tens of thousands of eunuchs in the country, and only a few have power.

"The last general asked, but they were all very arrogant. They insisted on seeing the lord, otherwise they would not say anything."

"Then, there is no way." Zhang Shouren turned around to congratulate Renlong, and said apologetically, "I have to ask them to come over and disturb our drinking, it really deserves to be damned."

"It should be avoided..."

"No, no!"

Zhang Shouren waved his hand and said, "You don't have to treat these eggless bastards as serious guests."

While speaking, Li Zhuoran had already gone to let him go, and after a while, he heard the sound of boots, and five or six little eunuchs with bare chins came in.They were all wearing blue padded jackets with a leather belt around their waists, and ordinary big hats on their heads. Only the white leather boots on their feet were obviously worn by the servants, and ordinary people would not wear such leather boots.

Seeing Zhang Shouren, the leading eunuch just cupped his hands lazily, and then said in a shrill voice, "I've met Uncle Rong Cheng."

Zhang Shouren frowned and asked, "You said there was something important, what exactly is it?"

"We are Mr. Liu's companions. We have just come down from the capital. The senior official said that we have met Rong Chengbo several times in Beijing, but we have not talked about it in detail, but at least we have friendship. Rong Chengbo was rewarded by the emperor, so we should be sent to congratulate him. "[

These eunuchs, speaking Pili Yangqiu, and their voices were unpleasant, made people feel even more uncomfortable after listening to them.

Zhang Shouren knew that this must be Liu Yuanbin's dissatisfaction. After he entered the city, he did not go to pay homage to Yang Sichang. After all, the system was related. He had already been made an earl, so there was no reason to go to pay a visit to Yang Sichang. He just wanted to be present at the military meeting.

As for eunuch Liu's status, Zhang Shouren should have paid a visit before he was appointed. After all, eunuch Liu is a serious military eunuch, and he can be regarded as one of Zhang Shouren's regular bosses.

The Ming Dynasty’s wartime system was that civil servants were like drivers and were in charge of commanding, while eunuchs were carriages and were in charge of logistical supplies, and military commanders were the horses who were only responsible for pulling the cart forward. This is the most unfair thing in the world, but this is the rule of a hundred years, and so is disobedience.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your concern."

Zhang Shouren's expression was still very cold, and he nodded slightly, but did not express anything else.

Several young eunuchs showed angry expressions, and the leader turned red with anger. Generally speaking, Liu Yuanbin's status had already expressed goodwill, and the generals would not rush to flatter them, and then gave them the benefits of several people, and then It is the right way to send a large amount of money to the past.

It is really rare to hold airs like Zhang Shouren.

"Uncle Rong Cheng!" The leading eunuch said in a sharp voice: "Our senior officials said that it was very hard for the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to go south. I heard that Uncle Rong Cheng's salary is very generous, so we asked us to come to say hello and allocate one or two. Bring back ten thousand taels of silver with us, so that the senior official can use it to reward the soldiers of the Beijing camp!"

These eunuchs, like their masters, are really shameless.You can't hint at it, just make it clear and strong.

They heard that Zhang Shouren was rewarded with great rewards, and there were many gifts in Huguang and Xunyang. At this moment, the price was tens of thousands. If they believed it, they would really send it to ordinary soldiers in the Beijing camp. ghost.
