Chapter 5042 Who wants to be the governor of Jingzhou?
This time, Tao Yuanming turned from defense to offense, which was really unexpected. No one thought that Tan Daoji, a military general, might actually become the governor of Jingzhou. Tan Zhi, Zhu Chaoshi and others also paid attention to Tan Daoji intentionally or unintentionally.
On the body.
Tan Daoji's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I am a soldier. I have never expected to be appointed governor of Jingzhou. Tao Changshi, you are going too far by making things out of nothing."
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "But it turns out that Liu Zhengxi is also a soldier, hasn't he also been the governor of Jingzhou for so many years? General Tan, you have been in the army for many years and have made many military exploits. In this battle of Jingzhou, you made great contributions to the rear army. Now Liu Zhengxi
You are unable to take charge due to injury. As the governor of Jingzhou, don’t you have any chance or ideas after Liu Pushe has finished exterminating the demon thieves and returned to the court?"
Tan Daoji clasped his hands in his fists, faced the east, and said in a deep voice: "I, Tan Daoji, join the army not to serve the country, but to drive away the barbarians from outside, suppress the traitors from within, and benefit the people of the world. As for merit, it is not what I pursue. Over the years,
All the battles were done under the command of Brother Jinu and Brother Daogui. I only know how to fight, but I never know how to govern, and I don’t expect to be even a civil servant like a county guard. This Jingzhou
Tan has never thought about the post of governor, and I can swear it to the emperor and the empress."
Tao Yuanming smiled and waved his hand: "Tao just said it casually. General Tan does not need to react like this. In fact, we are all members of the imperial court. No matter whether we are a civil servant or a military general, is it not a matter of a word from the imperial court?"
At that time, Liu Zhengxi was also a pure soldier like you. He had never been a civil servant. Wasn't it just an imperial edict that he became the governor of Jingzhou? And he was very good at it. General Tan, you may not have no chance."
Tan Daoji gritted his teeth and looked at Tao Yuanming: "The imperial court has Brother Jinu in command and Liu Pushe as assistant. I believe they will use their talents according to their talents and put the right people in the right positions. Brother Daogui was in the army back then.
He has the ability to manage logistics and handle military affairs, and there is also a well-formed staff in Jingzhou headed by Wang Changshi who can handle government affairs. Tan has been in the army for many years and basically has no civil service group under him.
This position is not suitable for Mr. Tan. Before the world was pacified, Mr. Tan only wanted to be in the army and did not dare to expect anything else."
Behind Tan Daoji, stood two sturdy men more than eight feet tall. They were Tan Daoji's two sworn brothers, Xue Tong and Gao Jinzhi. These two were comrades in Tan Daoji's team when he joined Beifu. The first generation of Beifu
A warrior in the army, he fought side by side with Tan Daoji for more than 20 years, through life and death, and made countless contributions together. Now he is a Sima in his military mansion, and he is his right-hand man when he joins the army. Hearing that Tao Yuanming
After mocking Tan Daoji like this, these two got angry first.
The big man on the left, about thirty-four or five years old, with a red face and a long beard, is Xue Tong. He is from Hedong and a refugee from the north to Jingkou. Both in appearance and the sword and weapon he uses, he is very similar to Guan Yu.
The nickname in the army was also Sai Erye. He stroked his long beard and said in a deep voice: "Tao Changshi, I think you are thinking about the position of Jingzhou governor. We soldiers only think about fighting and killing enemies and accumulating wealth."
Military merit is often a military position, so how can anyone think about being a governor, a county guard, etc. all day long? Even Brother Jinu, now his main job is in the military."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "In addition to the military post of general of chariots and cavalry, Marshal Liu also took the post of governor of Yangzhou and Xuzhou, just like Liu Daogui and Liu Jingzhou. In addition to the military post of general of the Western Conquest, Marshal Liu also held the post of governor of Yangzhou and Xuzhou.
You can serve as the governor of Jingzhou concurrently. As the saying goes, becoming a general and becoming a prime minister, running the army on horseback and running the country on horseback, this is what a man should do. Doesn't General Tan want to take this path?"
Another big man with a black face and beard is Gao Jinzhi. He is the nephew of Beifu veteran Gao Su. He was also a rising star who joined the army with Tan Daoji. His fighting style is extremely brave, and he can wield a spear. He is known among the military as
The reincarnation of Zhang Fei had an extremely hot temper. When he heard this, he roared: "Other people are other people's business. My eldest brother only wants to be in the army with his brothers. Tao, put away the flowers of you literati."
Intestines, don’t throw dirty water on my eldest brother.”
Tao Yuanming laughed loudly and said: "General Gao is wrong. He wants to be the governor and has greater power, so why is he so frivolous? Receiving a title for military merit and using a title as an official are the rules set by Marshal Liu himself. If he gets a title,
, you have made meritorious service, but you cannot hold the corresponding official positions, who will hold these official positions? General Gao, if your eldest brother becomes the governor of Jingzhou, you can also become the Nanman Colonel and the highest military attache in Jingzhou. Could it be that, this
Have you never thought about it?"
After Gao Jinzhi choked, he suddenly sneered: "Nanman Colonel? Okay, this is a good officer. I heard that the Xi people in Tongbai Mountain often make troubles. If they don't obey the king, they will hide in some peach blossom garden to resist taxes and protect themselves."
, if I become the captain of the Southern Barbarians, I will definitely drive them all out of the mountains, organize them into households, and serve the country!"
This suddenly caused the whole audience to burst into laughter. Everyone knew that Tao Yuanming's Tao family came from the Xi clan in the mountains. Even his ancestor Tao Kan was ridiculed by the high-ranking family members in public as a "xi dog". This is a scar that will always be scarred in people's hearts.
For example, the children of the aristocratic family laughed at the generals of the army, but today Gao Jinzhi can actually use it on Tao Yuanming, who has become a famous figure in the world. It really turns the world upside down.
To Yanzhi smiled and said: "Okay, okay, brother Jin, if you really want to become a Nanman captain and go to suppress these Shanyue tribes, I will definitely follow you. This military achievement is easy. It is better than fighting to the death with demon thieves."
, it’s much simpler.”
Liu Zhendao also nodded and said: "Don't leave me behind, Brother Jin."
Pei Fangming laughed loudly and said: "I will also help, but after capturing these Xi people, I will have to divide them into hundreds of households. My army currently lacks servants and auxiliary soldiers, and these Xi people are best suited to do this."
"
Tao Yuanming's face changed slightly at first, but he soon regained his composure. Listening to these sarcastic words, he ignored them. It was not until all these voices disappeared and everyone's eyes turned to him that he became cold.
He said coldly: "As a citizen of the Jin Dynasty, I should serve the Jin Dynasty, just like Tao, just like the military leader Luo. They are all Xi people who came out of the mountains. Now they are living together with you here to help with national affairs."
, if Tao is given a chance to serve the country in Jingzhou, Tao will definitely bring out the villagers, so that they can also enjoy the national grace of Jin Dynasty. When the time comes, it will still depend on your support." (End of this chapter.)
