Chapter seven hundred and twentieth the water is too muddy
Governor Qin's takeover of Datong City went smoothly without any resistance at all, and he immediately issued three orders.
The first step was to prepare for the war immediately. All the new 200-pound Folan cannons were transported to the top of the city. The ammunition was prepared and loaded. As for the soldiers, food and grass were always on hand. Planning and division of labor began.
Secondly, Bai Jue, the chief military officer of Xuanfu, was appointed to temporarily act as the chief military officer of Datong and be responsible for front-line command.
The third order was to order Zhonggu Wenchang, the grain manager of the Ministry of Household Affairs who was in Datong Youwei City, to immediately withdraw to Datong City and take charge of local government affairs and logistics in place of Liu Yong, the prefect of Datong.
Of course, by the way, we also brought back Miss Li and the rebel criminals who were stranded in the right guard of Datong, as well as a pair of beauties who followed Miss Li.
I answered that the invasion route came from the right road of Datong Town, and the retreat route probably left from this direction.
Therefore, there is still a certain danger in Datong Right Guard City, and Governor Qin must be worried about Mrs. Li continuing to stay there.
As for Commander Lu Binglu, he also stationed himself in the mansion and spent every day "talking heart-to-heart" with the three limited-edition personnel. This was his only duty.
Looking at the heated war preparations outside, Commander Lu felt like a prisoner. He had lost his freedom since he cooperated with Qin Dewei.
In addition, Commander Lu had to hold his nose and write a memorial to the emperor: "In the local town, Fu and the imperial envoy Guo Xun are colluding together, like a nest of snakes and rats. The enemy is facing the enemy. Due to his personal desires, he will destroy the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and risk causing unforeseen disasters."
!
Thanks to Governor Qin Dewei's self-restraint and devotion to public service, he endured humiliation and heavy burdens, did not cause trouble, and maintained the overall situation.
After His Majesty's Sacred Heart became clear and he ordered his ministers to go to Datong for investigation, Qin Dewei dared to confide in him and help him to investigate the crimes committed by the officials.
Finally, at the minimum cost, the scourge of the enemy was eliminated, and now the town of Datong is stable and peaceful. The army and the people are united and their morale is high, making it possible to defend against the enemy.
Now that I am about to return to the north, the situation in Datong is urgent. In order to eliminate interference from the enemy, I have no choice but to borrow Qin Dewei's power to temporarily isolate the prisoners to await His Majesty's punishment."
After putting down his pen, Commander Lu sighed softly. He had to say that he was unhappy, but he did learn a lot.
As a royal guard, you should not only study business, but also study politics. After all, business serves politics.
While he was meditating on his thoughts and having an epiphany, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside, which disturbed Commander Lu. He was upset and shouted to the servant outside the door: "Who is making the noise?"
Someone reported outside the door: "Superintendent Qin sent another official here!"
Lu Bing asked in surprise: "What official?"
The outsider replied: "It's Liu Yong, the prefect of Datong!"
Commander Lu was speechless. Are you still finished with Qin Zhongtang? You fight the tigers, and you fight the flies too?
Compared with the three people inside, his status as a prefect is completely unworthy, and he is worthy of letting Master Lu take charge of heart-to-heart talks?
The marquis delayed the military plan, the governor maliciously framed the situation, and the commander-in-chief was a collaborator. Moreover, the three of them colluded with each other and conspired with the clan and the White Lotus Demon Sect. So what is the prefect?
"Superintendent Qin said it was smuggling." The people outside continued to answer questions.
Lu Bing said dissatisfiedly: "You want to alarm me with this trivial matter?"
It's just smuggling, not political cases! He, Lu Bing, currently only likes political cases and has little interest in economic cases. Anyway, if he runs out of money, he will ask his brothers for it!
The man responded: "Supervisor Qin said that it is not a matter of bothering the two masters. Now that there is no Feng Xianguan in the city, I will trouble Mr. Lu to deal with it together."
Lu Bing had no choice but to agree: "Since I have to do it, then just accept it! Now the city's justice can only rely on me!"
This is not an exaggeration. Fusi, Jinyiweibei Town, where Lu Bing is located, is itself a yamen endowed with judicial power. Lu Bing started his official career by punishing thousands of households.
Then he got up and walked outside, standing on the platform in front of the house, watching Datong Magistrate Liu being escorted in.
But I saw Magistrate Liu struggling and saying: "I have done great service for the Superintendent! I have a relationship with the Superintendent! I want to see the Superintendent! I want to see the Superintendent!"
Lu Bing suddenly became interested. You are a smuggler official. How can you get the credit and favors?
So he asked loudly: "Master Liu! What achievements have you made for Qin Zhongtang? What kind of relationship do you have with Qin Zhongtang? Then why did he send you here again!"
Magistrate Liu replied: "Because the Supervisor doesn't know, I want to see the Supervisor and let him know the truth!"
Lu Bing asked: "In this Datong city, is there any truth that I don't know?"
But Magistrate Liu still insisted: "You can only send me to see the Superintendent, and I will tell you in person, otherwise the Superintendent will definitely regret it!"
Then he threatened Lu Bing: "If you refuse to send me to see the Supervisor, and the Supervisor becomes regretful and upset, I'm afraid you, my lord, won't have an easy time either, right?"
Originally, Commander Lu thought he had perfected his xinxing cultivation in the past few days, but in the end, he almost broke his guard with a small prefect.
Do you, a little prefect, know who I am? The only person in the world who can make me miserable is my brother! Qin Dewei is a
"I will send you to see Qin Zhongtang right now! After the meeting, I will let you know what regret means!" Commander Lu threatened in turn with a sinister smile.
Magistrate Liu breathed a sigh of relief and did not take the threat from the commander of the little Jin Yiwei to heart at all. As long as he could see Governor Qin, all problems would be no problem.
At this time, Qin Dewei was occupying the magpie's nest and was looking at the defense map of Datong in the Fuyuan. He was also baffled after hearing the report about Magistrate Liu.
What meritorious service? What favor?
It's just a smuggler. You, Lu Bing, just dealt with it casually. Why did you send him here? Don't you know that the Governor is busy with military aircraft and has no time to distract from other things?
After being sent to the lobby of Fuyuan, Magistrate Liu immediately asked the people to withdraw and talk to Governor Qin alone.
Qin Dewei said very suspiciously: "Do you want to assassinate me?"
Magistrate Liu was speechless and had to take the initiative to explain: "This is absolutely not the intention! I have no weapons in my body, and I am not as young and strong as the governor. How can I assassinate him?"
Qin Dewei suspiciously asked the left and right to retreat outside the gate, but not too far away, just to be safe. Then he asked: "Tell me, what kind of relationship do I have with you?"
I don’t want to ask about meritorious service or anything like that, there are plenty of them just make them up, but favors are more important.
Magistrate Liu took two steps forward and whispered: "From now on, my daughter will be entrusted to the supervisor!"
Qin Dewei asked in surprise: "What does your daughter have to do with me?"
People all over the world who want to entrust their daughters to him, Qin Dewei, can queue up from Datong to the capital! What ability do you, Magistrate Liu, have to jump in the queue?
Magistrate Liu chuckled: "The twin beauties who have been accepted by Mr. Qin are the daughters born to me and my concubine. Few outsiders know about it."
Qin Dewei: ""
Magistrate Liu suddenly said directly to his heart: "Supervisor, you don't want them to be bullied by other men, right?"
Qin Dewei suddenly slapped his wife and cursed: "Shameless! You old man, why didn't you say that these beauties are your biological daughters when you gave them to them!"
I finally understood that this was what the prefect meant by favor!
In order to paralyze you corrupt officials, I pretended to be in harmony and accepted the heavy gift. Who would have known that the identity of this gift is actually your daughter!
He took in someone else's daughter and became a father in a blink of an eye. If word spread, Qin Dewei would be shameless!
But Magistrate Liu turned a deaf ear to the scolding and said as if he was speaking a commonplace tone: "I know that the Superintendent is actually not at ease about their details, but now that he knows they are my daughters, he should be able to rest assured, right?"
"I'll knock your lungs out!" Qin Dewei, who has always been eloquent, actually held it in for a long time before spitting out this sentence.
There are indeed many talented people in this officialdom! With Qin Dewei's skill, coupled with his omniscient and omnipotent information advantage, he was actually able to be taken advantage of by a small prefect!
Magistrate Liu sighed and said: "Otherwise, please tell me how can I protect myself? The smuggling is not my fault alone, there are many local people in Shanxi behind it."
Qin Dewei didn't want to hear those difficulties. Besides, the smuggling of Beibei was forbidden, and selling some salt, tea, and daily necessities would not affect the balance of strength. Qin Dewei didn't bother to care too much.
Now he could only ask helplessly: "What do you think?"
Generally, when a superior asks this question to a subordinate, it means that he wants to benefit you.
Magistrate Liu quickly said: "I would like to be transferred to Ningbo as magistrate. If that fails, Shaoxing will also work."
Qin Dewei: ""
Are you addicted to smuggling? Do you want to continue coming to another place? Both of these places are hardest hit by maritime smuggling.
In the mansion on the other side, Commander Lu was waiting to deal with the little prefect who was disrespectful to him, but he waited and waited, but did not see Prefect Liu being sent back.
He sent someone to Fuyuan to inquire about it, and the result was that "Supervisor Qin and Prefect Liu were drinking, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Moreover, Governor Qin has spoken. Magistrate Liu was previously ordered to pretend to be smuggling in order to confuse the governor, the general, and others. This is considered a meritorious service!
So we are all our own people, Commander Lu, don’t pursue any minor mistakes, if nothing happens, you can go over and have a few drinks together!”
Commander Lu was so angry that he cursed, the water in this officialdom is too muddy!
Moreover, the water is not only muddy but also really deep! The governor, the commander-in-chief, and the marquis all fell into trouble, but a small prefect was able to escape unscathed. This is puzzling to Mr. Lu!
Two days later, when Mrs. Li withdrew from the right guard of Datong, Governor Qin had no worries at all and could stay in Datong city with peace of mind.
Governor Qin was indeed not too worried about Datong city defense issues.
Nowadays, although the Ming army's field combat ability is not that good, its ability to defend the city is always online, and the siege technology of the Beilu on the opposite side is very poor. It is difficult to conquer ordinary castles, let alone a strong city like Datong.
Anyway, in history, the Northern Captives have never captured Datong, so why should Governor Qin be worried?
In the eyes of others, Governor Qin was calm and composed. He went out and about in disguise every day with a handsome scholar, and he looked like a king.
Whenever I hear that a restaurant in the city has good food, I will go there to taste it. When I meet officers and soldiers, I will generously treat everyone to a drink.
Previously, Governor Qin had impersonated Wang Sheng, the commander-in-chief of Datong, and wrote a letter to the chief An Da who was still in the hinterland of Shanxi.
Another day later, the person who was sent to deliver the letter came back, and indeed he brought back my answer.
In the reply letter, I said that I asked General Wang to try to rescue his eldest son, Xin Ai Huang Taiji. To this end, I was willing to return all the gold and silver that General Wang sent last time, and also gave me a generous gift.
So Governor Qin finally had some evidence in his hands. At the same time, he estimated that the Beibei army would begin to return north from the hinterland of Shanxi, and Datong Town would enter the highest level of combat readiness.
