Chapter 102 Worry

Almost at the same time, in the Yamen of the Governor of Liaodong, Fang Yizao, the Governor of Liaodong, and Yuan Shu, the Royal Governor of the Imperial Court, as well as Qiu Minyang of the Ningqian Military Preparation Road, and Zhang Dou of the Liaodong Branch Patrol Road, were also passing on the readings to Yang Zhen and others.

Good news sent back.

"Sir Governor! Yang Zhen's courage is really too great! The temporary Ningyuan advance battalion only has about 600 people. Even with the addition of the selected forwards from the Juehua Island Navy battalion, he will

Dare you lead a direct attack on the Tatar camp!?"

Qiu Minyang, who was on the way to Ningqian's army, was holding the military success report signed by Yang Zhen and others, shaking his head and talking:

"If other Liaodong armies saw this victory report and knew what Yang Zhen's advance battalion had done, they would rather be ashamed to death?! They are both soldiers from the guard camp, and they are both officers and soldiers of the imperial court. How dare Yang Zhen do this?

, the others have ten times more troops than him, but why don’t they dare?!”

Having said this, Qiu Minyang looked worried and angry, and handed the Yang Zhenjie Newspaper to Zhang Dou, the patrol officer, and then continued:

"I think something went wrong here! It's still here!"

As Qiu Minyang spoke, he pinched his thumb, index finger and middle finger together, pressed hard against his heart, and then continued:

"In the final analysis, what is missing is a heart of loyalty to the country, a heart of helping each other in times of difficulty, and a heart of sacrificing one's life to fight for the country's calamity and disregarding death as returning home."

After Qiu Minyang finished speaking these words with emotion, the second hall of the governor's Yamen suddenly fell into silence.

At this time, Zhang Dou had also read at a glance the good news that Yang Zhen and others had sent back by ship.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, coughed, cleared his throat, and then said: "Master Qiu, be patient and don't be impatient! Today, let's talk about nothing else but the success of the advance battalion! Yang Zhen

Now you have all seen the good news sent back! After receiving the good news early this morning, I also ordered someone to make a copy and sent it to Zuzong Town! Now I am here to tell you what to do

Report victory to the imperial court!"

Speaking of this, Governor Fang Yizao looked at the civil servants from Liaodong present and seemed to be thinking about how to speak. He thought about it for a moment and then continued: "Let me talk about my opinion first! In general

Said, this is a good thing! The imperial court has been looking forward to the good news from Liaodong, just like looking forward to the rain during a severe drought. It has been looking forward to it for how many days!

"Today, we finally have a good news in Liaodong. Logically speaking, this is a good thing and should be reported directly. But I am still a little unsure at the moment. So in the end, should we wait and be more sure, or should we report the good news to the capital as soon as possible?

, To appease your father’s worries, you are all selected by the imperial court, and the pillars of Liaozuo appointed by your majesty, let’s make an idea together today!”

Governor Fang Yizao was not simply a censor in the capital court. Before coming to Liaodong, he also held positions in Xuanfu and other border towns, and he knew that some border army generals in border towns were very concerned about reporting merits and deeds.

He also knows more or less the tricks that go into his hands.

Therefore, this time, when he first received the good news from Yang Zhen, his reaction was similar to Qiu Minyang's. He was really ecstatic like never before.

He had not experienced such a feeling of ecstasy for a long, long time.

But after the brief ecstasy passed, and he savored the details of the good news, a series of questions began to grow in his heart.

Why does Yang Zhen dare to do things that others dare not do? Why can Yang Zhen do things that others cannot do?

In particular, why did the victory report say that there were so many gains, including the killing of the Tatar Gushan Beizi Luotuo, and the killing of at least two thousand Tatars, but not a single Tatar head was sent with the ship?!

It's not that Governor Fang Yizao didn't want to see Yang Zhen achieve such a great victory. On the contrary, this time, Yang Zhen was brought to Ningyuan from Guan Nei personally. Yang Zhen was able to become the deputy general of Ningyuan, and it was also he who was appointed to be the governor of Liaodong.

The result of hard work after that.

If there is anyone among the high-ranking officials and generals in Liaodong who most hopes that Yang Zhen will achieve such a great victory, it must be him!

However, he was still worried, or to be more precise, facing such unexpected success, after the brief moment of ecstasy, he was filled with fear deep in his heart!

He was afraid that Yang Zhen was turning defeat into victory and deceiving him with casual lies!

He was afraid that the general who took office with him and was the only general he could trust in Liaodong would betray his trust!

I'm afraid that Yang Zhen, a young general who seems to be an upright man, is actually a traitor and evil man who is not what he looks like on the outside!

In the final analysis, Governor Fang Yizao was afraid that all this was just a beautiful lie, or just an illusion.

Moreover, the more earnestly he desires it to be true, the more intensely he fears that it is false.

If all this is true, from now on, even if Fang Yizao has established a firm foothold in Liaodong, it will be a piece of cake for him to rise to prominence; but if all this is false, then from now on, Fang Yizao will be ruined.

, fell into the abyss!

After Fang Yizao asked, there was a moment of silence, because everyone had just read the good news and was in high spirits, and had not yet had time to analyze the true and false pros and cons.

However, Fang Yizao's question directly brought everyone back to the grim reality. Whether it was Yuan Jin who saw the good news for the first time, or Qiu Minyang, who was preparing to patrol the road in front of Ningqian, and Zhang Dou, who was patrolling the road separately.

He frowned and thought about the matter again.

Fang Yizao knew that this matter was not a trivial matter and did not rush them. He just picked up the tea bowl and sipped the tea on his own, as if the bitterness of the tea could restrain him from the urge to make a splash.

None of the civil servants in the DPRK dared to come to Liaodong, but Yizao from the other side came.

For his official career, coming to Liaodong was definitely an adventure, but he came anyway. In the bottom of his heart, he actually wanted to do something big, so as to achieve the goal of making a big splash and becoming a general.

But after coming to Liaodong, he found that things were not that simple, especially Zu Dashou's lukewarm attitude, which made him unsure. If he wanted to rely on Zu Dashou's now self-contained Zu family army to serve as his

The stepping stone to becoming Prime Minister may not be that easy.

Fang Yizao, who was already a little disheartened due to various dissatisfactions, unexpectedly received the good news from Yang Zhen this morning. In that moment, the fire of ambition that was about to be extinguished was immediately extinguished.

It burned brightly again, and the flames, eager to enter the cabinet and pay homage to the prime minister, kept rising.

——Your ancestor Dashou doesn’t want to be a stepping stone for me to enter the cabinet and become the prime minister. It doesn’t matter. Isn’t there another Yang Zhen? Isn’t this a ready-made victory report? If Yang Zhen’s troops really burned the Tatars

The more food and grass the Tatars have for the army besieging the city, the faster they will retreat. Maybe the siege of Songjin will be solved at once!? But I just don’t know Yang Zhen’s victory.

How much is true and how much is false?!

This is what Governor Fang Yizao was really thinking when he was holding a tea bowl and looking at everyone.

After a long time, it was Yuan Shu who took the lead to break the silence in the second hall of the governor's office. He only heard him say: "Master Fuyuan! Yang Zhen is a loyal and diligent man. His good news may contain elements of exaggeration, but what he said

Everything is stated clearly and plainly, with black and white writing, vivid and simple, which makes people feel vivid and vivid after reading it! If it is completely fake, I'm afraid I can't do this even if I am a martial artist!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shu paused for a moment, and then continued: "The naval battalion garrison officer Yuan Jin who followed Yang Zhen's advance battalion northward and helped transport grain and military supplies was my late father's personal guard when he was in Denglai.

This time when a ship was sent back to deliver the victory report, someone also sent a message to the lower official! It was said that he had personally experienced the night attack of blowing up the Tatar camp and burning the Tatar grain and grass. He also said that the advance camp's victory report was true!

——”

After Yuan Shu said these words, he saw Governor Fang Yizao and two other Liaodong civil servants staring at him, so he coughed twice, cleared his tight throat, and continued:

"These oral messages brought in private are naturally not as credible as real evidence! However, the following officials' understanding of my late father, a personal guard, and the oral messages he had people bring in private are enough to serve as circumstantial evidence for the governor's reference.

Decided!"

In fact, Yuan Shu did not tell the truth completely, because what Yuan Jin had people bring to him on the ship was not a oral message, but another written letter with black and white letters and signatures clearly on it.

In the letter, Yuan Jin unabashedly expressed his appreciation for Yang Zhen, and also described their attack on the Tatar grain and grass camp.

Although Yuan Jin had great doubts about the final gains and results reported by the advance battalion, as for those events in which Yuan Jin himself participated, he truthfully reported the true facts of the events to Yuan Shu.
