The Yanghe Acropolis occupies a large area. It was built in February of the 26th year of Hongwu. It has three gates. The city was subject to constant wars until the Ming Dynasty.
Because it is the residence of the Governor of Xuanda and the highest military and political center and command center of the three towns of Xuanda, Da, and Shanxi, the acropolis is stocked with heavy troops for defense and garrison all year round.
Governor-General Xuanda is the abbreviation of "Governor-General Xuanda, who is responsible for military affairs and food and salary management in Shanxi and other places".
It was established in the 29th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. It was stationed in Xuanfu Town in the autumn of the 38th year. It was moved to Huailaiwei in the 43rd year. It was stationed in Yanghewei in the fourth year of Longqing. It had jurisdiction over the three towns of Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi Governor.
In addition, Yanghe Acropolis also has various government offices, numerous dignitaries, military generals and their families in the yamen. Their needs and consumption are also extremely huge, making Yanghe Acropolis a commercial center of Xuanda.
, there are many shops of all kinds, with the most complete range of goods.
On June 15, in the Xuanda Governor's Office in Yanghe Acropolis, Governor Chen Xinjia felt tired, so he sat down and rested in a chair.
An aide named Gao, who was highly appreciated by Chen Xinjia, stepped forward and handed the teacup he was holding to Chen Xinjia, saying softly: "The supervisor should be careful. Although what Zhang Cheng did this time was a little too much, it is still true."
The governors and ministers make promotions with one hand and must not follow the facts.
What's more, now that the rogue bandits have revolted and war is rising again in the heartland, it is the time to deploy troops. Zhang Cheng, who wants to go north, has won the respect of the emperor. It is at the critical moment of recruiting brave soldiers and training them.
I still don’t know the attitude of the palace on this matter, and I have not communicated it with the Yangge Department. When the situation is unclear, the governor must act cautiously and not act too hastily. This matter can affect the whole body. If it is manipulated by someone with intentions, or
It can become the source of criticism against the governor and the Yang Ge Department."
Chen Xinjia's mind was racing, and he couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he sat back on the chair with a tea cup and looked at the staff member named Gao who had just spoken, as if he was listening attentively.
The staff member surnamed Gao was encouraged, and walked up to Chen Xinjia again and continued softly: "Supervisor, although this happened on Shangbei Road, it was Zhang Cheng's act of his own will, but after all, he was under the rule of your lord.
Moreover, Xue Liangqing and Wu Youlu indeed committed capital crimes. Let’s not talk about the authenticity of their collusion with the bandits. Such crimes and plots to assassinate Shangguan will never be tolerated or condoned. Zhang Shen will be furious.
I acted a little recklessly, but it’s understandable.”
"Um……"
Chen Xinjia put down the tea cup in his hand, frowned at the staff member named Gao and said slowly: "What does Cheng Gong mean...?"
He didn't tell the whole story, but Gao Chenggong, his close aide, understood it clearly. He bowed beside Chen Xinjia and said softly carefully: "Supervisor, if you don't report the truth to the court, Zhang Cheng, the general on the North Road, will
In order to stabilize the morale of the army and the public's anger, Xue Wu, the traitor to the party, was executed on Beilu. Although the circumstances were excusable, the responsibility for lynching and indiscriminate killing cannot be escaped, and you are also responsible for the oversight.
The villain thinks that the governor can ask for punishment in the memorial for his negligence in inspecting what Zhang Cheng did, and also ask the imperial court to discuss the crime of privately beheading Zhang Cheng, the commander of Shangbei Road.
In this way, although there is only one word difference between killing without permission and killing privately, the culpability is different. Regardless of the attitude of the palace and the Yangge Department towards Zhang Cheng, your Excellency can operate here.
If the imperial court punishes Zhang Cheng very severely, my lord can be considered as trying his best to protect him, but there is nothing he can do within his power; if the imperial court punishes him too lightly, then my lord's kindness in protecting General Zhang is extremely serious.
!”
Chen Xinjia stroked his chin with a thoughtful look, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth. Seeing that his words had moved Chen Xinjia, Gao Chenggong continued: "I have carefully looked at the Chicheng soldiers, He Chongwu and the governor Liu Yongzhao.
official documents submitted,
He Bingxian also has a sense of protection in his words. He only said that Xue Wu rebelled against the party, ignored the national law, and conspired against the superior officials. Zhang Cheng was angry and killed him. Although he was suspected of killing the guilty officials, it was reasonable.
However, Governor Liu is very naughty and he is testing the attitude of the governor!"
"Just do what you want. Send another letter to Zhang Cheng. It should not only reproach him for his recklessness, but also express your intention to protect him. You should also warn Zhang Cheng not to make any mistakes in the future!"
…………
On June 16, Jin Xinpeng, the commander of Kaiping Guards in Dushikou Fort City, came to his house.
"What? Deputy Commander Zhang recommended me to guard Chicheng..." Jin Yong looked shocked when he heard the news.
Jin Xinpeng looked at the happy-looking nephew in front of him and sighed in his heart. He placed the tea cup heavily back on the table and said in a deep voice, "Do you think Zhang Guowei sincerely recommended you?"
Jin Yong was stunned by his question. He suddenly stood up from the chair, faintly feeling the anger in his uncle's words. He stood dumbly in front of the chair, looking at a loss.
Jin Xinpeng looked at his nephew. Jin Yong was his hope. His own son Jin Xiaoguo was ineffective. He only knew how to fool around and stir up trouble all day long. Because for such an only son, he could only put out fires and settle many troubles for him.
I originally expected that Jin Yong could make a difference and support the Jin family's reputation on Beilu in the future, so I protected him and supported him all the way. However, although Jin Yong was good at leading troops, he was a bit dull in his worldly manners.
"Zhang Guowei just doesn't want General Zhang to dominate the North Road family, so he recommends you to be the garrison in Chicheng. No matter whether this move succeeds or not, he will not lose anything. It not only shows his kindness to you and me, but also makes us and General Zhang
A gap arose between them.
How sinister and sinister are your intentions?
He had always been in contact with Xue Liangqing and Wu Youlu, thinking that through them he could control the Shangbei Road in his own hands without letting the new generals completely control it. This was a power struggle.
Now, Xue Wu and others are trying to commit suicide, so he wants to secretly cause trouble and recommend you to be appointed as Chicheng General. One of them uses this to show his goodwill towards me, and in the future he will win me over to serve as his pawn on the North Road;
Secondly, it has messed up your state of mind. Even if you cannot serve as General of Chicheng, your mind has been messed up and you have become a nail in Zhang Guowei's path to Shangbei Road."
After hearing these words, Jin Yong was stunned, with cold sweat streaming from his head. He asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Uncle, what do you think I should do?"
Jin Xinpeng looked at this clan nephew and continued with serious words: "You, don't think about anything. From now on, you will only follow General Zhang. Your uncle and I are getting older, and this is what I will be like in this life.
But you are different. You still have a long way to go in the future, so it is very important to work with the right person. Zhang Cheng seems to be reckless in his actions, but in fact he is steady and prudent, and he has more courage and courage.
The most important thing is that he treats those who are loyal to him very well. Didn't you see that Zhang Guangda and Chen Zheng were promoted from hundreds of households to commanding officials in just how long?
There is also Zhang Guodong, I heard that he was originally a Qianhu under the command of Lu Duchen. He only started to follow Zhang Cheng after the Battle of Julu. Now he is the commander of the first battalion, and he is very likely to serve as the garrison of Chicheng in the future.
I don’t know where Zhang Cheng’s future will end, but it is only a matter of time that a town will have a general army. Now his talents are not prosperous. As long as you are loyal to him wholeheartedly, in the future you will not only be a garrison of a fort, but also a guerrilla.
Even generals and generals are not out of the question!"
