Chapter 1011 Governor Zhang is far-sighted, Yu Xu is not as good as him!
After offering incense, the old woman took her grandson back to the inner hall of Baozhong Temple.
This is a large-scale building complex with three inner gates and three outer gates. Each pavilion and temple enshrines the memorial tablets of the fallen soldiers of the Xuanfu army in previous battles, as well as some relics of the fallen soldiers, etc.
Although the memorial tablets of fallen soldiers of the Xuanfu Army are enshrined in the Baozhong Temple, there are still some differences between officers and ordinary soldiers. Captains, team officers and generals are worshiped together, while the memorial tablets of generals above the general are worshiped separately.
There is a separate courtyard and incense hall for worship.
The reason for this is to encourage soldiers to fight bravely in front of the battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, and they must also practice diligently and read more. Only in this way can they be promoted to military positions and obtain higher-level memorials.
The incense hall where the old lady is now is enshrining the commander of the Xuanfu Army, the team officer, and the incense hall of Bai Zong's spiritual tablets. Although there are not many spiritual tablets placed in the hall, they are still sacred under this situation.
It gives people great impact and shock.
Incense is lingering in front of the hall, the spiritual tablets are looming behind the smoke, and the gentle voices of the spiritual officials nearby are chanting sutras. Everyone who comes here can't help but feel a sense of solemnity and awe in their hearts.
The old woman saw her son's spiritual tablet on the altar. Although there were many Xuanzang generals and soldiers accompanying him on the left and right, she felt desolate in her heart. However, this desolation also contained a sense of desolation.
A hint of pride.
"My son, you will be enshrined in heaven by the general's incense, and you will become an immortal and a Buddha sooner or later. But remember to take good care of our little tiger son, and hope that he will be born and raised as powerful and tall as you. When he grows up in the future, he will also invest in the world.
Under the general's tent, I will make contributions to the general's killing of enemies..."
Like this old lady, there are many women and old women, as well as old men and children standing inside and outside the courtyards and halls of Baozhong Temple. They are all the survivors of the martyrs, and they all look at the spiritual tablets with expressions on their faces.
…………
"Commander, you can go with peace of mind. We, Lao Guo, followed Uncle Yongning to kill the slave king Duduo. He is the brother of the thief Dorgon. He can be regarded as avenging your old man."
The speaker was Guo Yingxian, the counselor of Xuanfu Town. He was seen kneeling on the ground and muttering to himself in front of the incense table: "Commander, as you wish, that bastard Zhang Cheng really became the general manager of Xuanfu Town.
soldiers.
He is really promising now. Not only has he become the chief military officer of our Xuanzang Town, but he has also been awarded the title of General Zhenshuo. In our memory, only Yang Ying, Wu Xianggong, was awarded the title of General Zhenshuo. This shows that this
The bastard is really amazing.
Oh, by the way. There is one more thing that we almost forgot. Zhang Cheng is now not only General Zhenshuo, he has also been named Uncle Yongning by the current emperor.
Tsk tsk, before he was even thirty years old, he was already the general of Zhenshuo, and was even named Uncle Yongning by the emperor. The commander-in-chief really did not misjudge Zhang Cheng at the beginning, and this bastard really lived up to expectations!"
In the middle of the hall behind the incense table in front of Guo Yingxian, there is the spiritual tablet of Yang Guozhu, the former chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, and under it there are densely packed large and small spiritual tablets.
This incense hall was set up by Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng for the Xuanfu soldiers who died in the battle to aid the Liao Dynasty in order to win the hearts of the Xuanfu soldiers.
The top spiritual tablet is the largest, and its shape and specifications are also the highest. It is naturally the commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu, and below it are the officers of each battalion, including the commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief Qian, commander-in-chief, hundred households, etc., up to ordinary soldiers.
Zhang Cheng's move was completely unexpected by the Xuanbei army officers. Although they all followed their respective generals to join Zhang Cheng's command, they did not greedily want to receive the same treatment as the Xuanbei army officers.
However, what Yong Ningbo did did really make them return home. If the equal treatment announced in Liaodong had made everyone have no doubts about him, then this time all the officers and soldiers who died in Xuanfu were invited to Baozhong Temple to enjoy
The incense sacrifice completely won the hearts of the former soldiers under Yang Guozhu.
Baozhong Temple is now extremely popular in Xuanbei. Although the families of fallen soldiers often come to worship, the most important thing is Zhang Cheng's vigorous propaganda and guidance. It is due to this influence that all officers and soldiers in the army often come to worship.
Come and pay homage to your comrades.
The status of soldiers in Xuanbei has been unprecedentedly improved. According to Zhang Cheng's explanation, scholars in "Scholars, Farmers, Industry and Business" are scribes and warriors. Among them, scribes are scholars and are indispensable talents for local governance.
The warriors refer to the soldiers in the Xuanbei Army. They are the fundamental foundation for safeguarding the stability and prosperity of the Xuanbei area and deserve the respect of everyone, including Zhang Cheng himself.
"Farmers" refer to the common people of various military households. It is their hard work in the fields that feeds the hundreds of thousands of people in Xuanbei and makes Xuanbei become a fortress in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Work" refers to the workshops and the people who work in them. They made the armor, swords and spears used by the soldiers of the Xuanbei Army, especially those sharp fire guns, as well as sugar, refined salt, glass, cigarettes, etc.
etc., and also greatly prospered Xuanbei's economy.
Although "businessmen" are still ranked last, their status has been greatly improved. As long as they pay business taxes in accordance with regulations, they can participate in all local affairs openly, which also greatly stimulates their enthusiasm.
Entrepreneurial passion.
What's more, the military pay for soldiers in Xuanbei is the highest in the area, and it is also very stable, so they and even their families have become the main consumer force in the local area.
In any era, money speaks for itself, and people with strong spending power will always receive preferential treatment and due respect, so this Baozhong Temple is naturally the place where incense flourishes.
With the development of Baozhong Temple to this day, its related buildings and management have been very complete. It has specialized priests and priests. Many injured soldiers also stay here to serve as guards. The Wei Department has also allocated a large number of personnel.
Special funds are used for management needs.
In addition to voluntarily coming here to clean and pull weeds during major festivals, military households around Chicastle also come here to burn incense and make wishes. Today, outside the square in front of Baozhong Temple, there are drum towers, stages and other buildings for festivals.
The need is almost like a temple fair.
…………
Just as the veteran general Guo Yingxian was paying homage to his veteran master Yang Guozhu, Jiang Yuxu, the governor of Xuanfu, and Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of Xuanda, were also paying homage to Yang Hong, the Duke of Ying, in the Changping Marquis Yang Temple in the southwest corner of Chi Castle.
.
As the host, Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng was naturally accompanied by Qi Yuchu, the military commander of Huailong, Du Huaimin, the general magistrate in charge of grain on the East Road, and other civil servants, as well as Wang Pu, the general of Datong, Li Fuming, the chief of Shanxi, and Li Yiming, the commander of the security guard.
Wait for the military attache.
After worshiping Ying Guogong Yang Hong in the Yanggong Temple, the group left Dadingmen and walked across the Qingshui River path toward the southern suburbs. Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng sent them all the way ten miles away.
When leaving, Governor Zhang Fuzhen reluctantly held Zhang Cheng's hand and warned him: "Loyalty, at a time when the country is in difficult times, it is important to serve the country with a public heart. You must not miss Xuanbei too much."
As for Chicheng, it is advisable to reorganize and march westward to the town as soon as possible.
Only after I officially take over the post of Commander-in-Chief of Xuanzhen will I be able to organize and train each battalion, and strive to send troops to Henan Province in the spring next year to fight against the bandit army, and also to relieve the pressure on Kaifeng!"
"Zhang Cheng should bear in mind the words of his governor and organize the army as soon as possible, so as to serve the country and relieve the king's worries."
Zhang Cheng looked at the governor Zhang Fuzhen in front of him and said: "Governor, you have to pay attention to your health after a long journey. Don't be too tired. You should keep your body useful to repay the country's kindness."
Zhang Fuzhen looked at him and nodded, without saying anything more, he just said: "Go back, I am waiting for the good news from Uncle Yong Ning."
Looking at the retreating figures of Zhang Fuzhen, Jiang Yuxu and his entourage, Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, said in a low voice: "Uncle, why do you feel that Jiang Fuchen seems to be in a bad mood, as if he is preoccupied?"
Although Zhang Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't care. He just smiled and said, "Ignore him, we should go back and discuss the joint venture."
As they spoke, they turned their horses and ran back in the direction of Chicheng. Little did they know that at this moment, on the road south of Chicheng, a conversation that might affect Zhang Cheng was going on.
…………
Zhang Fuzhen and Jiang Yuxu were both ministers of the imperial court, and they had many political and military affairs waiting for them to handle. They could not stay on the North Road for a long time, so they decided to leave Chicastle today after paying homage to Yang Hong, Duke of Ying.
After bidding farewell to Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng ten miles away in the southern suburbs of Chicheng Castle, Jiang Yuxu boarded Zhang Fuzhen's carriage again. In the past few days, he had repeated his doubts about Zhang Cheng several times, and he could never forget them.
"Director Zhang, I still feel uneasy about Uncle Yongning. The emperor only gave the military and battalion numbers, but did not allow the expansion of the army. Now he has expanded the Yongyi Army to six battalions. Do you know what this means?
Centaur?"
Faced with Jiang Yuxu's question, Zhang Fuzhen's smile did not diminish and he simply said: "Uncle Yongning's intention is not to recruit troops and expand the army, but to integrate the existing battalions to facilitate future command and dispatch.
After all, Yong Ningbo is now the commander-in-chief of a town in Xuanfu. He can no longer limit himself to the North Road or the corner of the East Road. He should consider the deployment of defense and flood garrison with the whole town in mind. This is reasonable, even if he recruits additional
The purpose of recruiting some soldiers was to make up for the losses in the Liao War, and it is understandable."
Jiang Yuxu, however, had other concerns. He insisted: "Supervisor, even so, Uncle Yongning's actions are highly debatable. Governor knows that if the integration of the six battalions of troops and horses is completed according to Uncle Yongning's wishes, in fact,
The number of people and horses in control exceeds 40,000, and they are all elite soldiers.
Not to mention that this number far exceeds the limit of troops and horses controlled by the general army of a town, but Yong Ningbo has always had prestige in the Xuanfu, and now he has such a large and powerful army, I am afraid that it will not be a blessing to the country in the future, but instead
It’s a harm to the country and the dynasty!”
Seeing that he insisted on his opinion, Zhang Fuzhen couldn't help but frown slightly, and looked at Jiang Yuxu with a slightly sullen look. He turned to look out the car window and said lightly: "The most urgent task right now is to send troops to Henan Province as soon as possible to help suppress the intruders.
The Emperor has repeatedly urged us to do this. How can we afford to delay the military flight?
Looking at the three towns of Xuanda, the only person who can take on this responsibility is Yongning Boer. At this critical moment, everything can be postponed, except for the matter of aiding Henan Province, which cannot be delayed for a moment.
Otherwise, there will be no serious harm to Yongning Boliang, but you and I have made mistakes but no merits. If there is another traitor who makes trouble and criticizes with slanderous words, I am afraid that Tiqi will be arrested not far away."
Although his words were soft, they were like thunder in Jiang Yuxu's ears. His body suddenly shook, and his mind was rapidly calculating the pros and cons.
Suddenly, the voice of Governor Zhang Fuzhen came to his ears again: "The Kuang court is not without worries about Uncle Yongning. The supervisory troops sent by the emperor are probably on the way at this time and will arrive at Xuanfu soon.
I would like to ask, if your memorial and mine are not consistent with what the supervisor said, will the emperor believe what you and I say, or will he believe the report of the supervisor?"
At this point, Xuanfu Governor Jiang Yuxu was sincerely convinced by Governor Zhang Fuzhen. He said in admiration: "Governor Zhang is far-sighted and far-sighted, and Yuxu is not as good as him!"
…………
And just in the afternoon of that day, in the second hall of Chicheng Castle's General Office, the core officers and generals of the Xuanfu Army gathered together. The spacious and bright hall suddenly seemed crowded, and all the officers and generals were talking softly, and there was a buzzing sound.
Continuously.
"The general has arrived!"
A loud shout came from the back of the hall, and the hall instantly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
As the sound of boots hitting the ground came, Zhang Chengfang took the lead in appearing in front of everyone. Behind him were the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, General Zhenshuo, Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Mingyuan led several bodyguards.
Followed by.
Although Zhang Cheng has inherited the title of Yong Ningbo, many people in the army are still called him General. After all, he is the chief military officer in charge of one side and the general who leads the army in battle.
He came directly to the scene behind the last major case, but did not take his seat directly. Instead, he glanced at the officers and generals in the hall with sharp eyes, and saw Lin Fangping, a guerrilla from the Tiger Guard Camp, dragging his sick body to attend the military meeting.
.
At this moment, he was struggling to get up from his seat. Zhang Jintai saw that his expression was slightly painful, thinking that it was an abdominal injury, so he quickly rushed to help him get up.
Seeing this, Zhang Cheng waved his hands and said: "General Lin, don't move."
Although his words were only a few words, they gave people an invisible pressure. Zhang Jintai stopped behind Lin Fangping, and Lin Fangping also sat firmly in the big chair and stopped struggling to get up.
After a while, Zhang Cheng waved his hand with a kind face and said: "Everyone, please sit down."
"Here. Thank you, General, for the seat!"
After everyone sang "Nai" loudly, they all sat back on their chairs. Looking at the entire hall, except for the two generals Wang Pu and Li Fuming, there were all senior officials and generals of the Xuanfu Army. It was no longer Zhang Cheng's first time entering.
It can be compared with the Xuanbei period.
In the entire hall, only Lin Fangping's chair was as big as Wang Pu's and Li Fuming's, and it was also cushioned.
After all, Lin Fangping had not recovered from his serious injury. Zhang Cheng originally planned to have Mr. Zuobu Qian attend the meeting on his behalf, but Lin Fangping insisted on attending on his own, so Zhang Jintai led someone to carry him here.
Wang Pu and Li Fuming were invited by Zhenshuo General Zhang Cheng to attend the military meeting of the Xuanfu Army as observers.
Zhang Cheng's move is nothing more than to show them the Xuanfu Army's sincerity. In addition, it can also be used to show them the future strength of the Xuanfu Army, so as to win over their hearts and prevent them from having any other ideas.
It completely stopped the two of them from thinking about decoupling in the future.
