The Qingliu Cabinet has been playing a game of chess for hundreds of years, and now that the victory has been won, he just counterattacked. Looking at Xu Zhixin next to him, he sighed bitterly in his heart, maybe this is fate, the martial artists are destined to be submerged in history.
Although he sent his son Xu Wenjue out deliberately, he just wanted to make the situation more passive and force the people in the Sixth Department to relent, but it was not because he wanted to train his son. However, various signs indicate that his son Xu Wenjue is a supporter.
Mud that doesn't go up the wall. Xu Hongji was very reluctant to think of his son so much, but he had to face the fact that that boy was really not the material to lead an army in a war.
If you don’t know military affairs, you can learn it. If you have poor abilities, there are people below you, but if you have a bad temper, you really can’t change it. Hey, now you can only take one step at a time. The key is to first overcome the level in front of you.
past.
In fact, both Xu Hongji and Xu Zhixin understand that the easiest way to avoid being restrained by the Six Ministries and retain the power in the hands of the Xu family is for the Dudu Mansion to be financially self-sufficient. Unfortunately, it is not easy to achieve this. The Dudu Mansion has hundreds of thousands of troops.
, The Duke's Mansion can be maintained for two months, or half a year, but if it is maintained for one year, the house will have to be sold.
Not to mention the sad faces of the Xu family father and daughter, the six departments in Nanjing also looked unhappy. Gu Tongen was the most angry. He cut off the Dudu's Mansion's financial path and tightened its neck. The effect was very good. Seeing that there were already many people inside the capital camp.
The major general showed signs of instability and suddenly restored supplies to the Governor's Mansion. Wouldn't this be a waste of all previous efforts?
"If we replenish the governor's salary and supplies at this time, with Xu Hongji's ability, it will be very troublesome if he wants to tighten his pocket later. I'm afraid this old fox may have another trick up his sleeve." Gu Tong'en was very unwilling, and so were the others.
Woolen cloth?
Fei Yang, the censor of the capital, smiled bitterly and consoled him: "Let's get through this hurdle first. At the moment, the only one who can truly control the capital camp is Xu Hongji. Maybe this is God's will, but from what I see in the Xu family,
As a young man, he probably won’t be able to do it, so we don’t have to worry too much. No matter how difficult Xu Hongji is, how many years can he last?”
Hearing what Fei Yang said, Gu Tongen's expression didn't look much better. The Xu family had no heirs, so as long as Xu Hongji was killed, the Xu family would still be finished. This is the truth, but by then, Gu Tongen wouldn't be able to
He is in charge of the Ministry of War. What's more, judging from the situation between himself and Xu Hongji, by the time Xu Hongji fails, Gu Tongen will probably have already become an immortal, and the flying head grass may be ten feet tall.
What Gu Tongen wants is for the Xu family to be overthrown, so that he can take over the military power of the Governor's Mansion and return to the power center of Beizhili with his credit. Because of these reasons, Gu Tongen's face is not happy at all. The predecessors planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. Gu Tongen
I don’t want to miss the person in front of me.
Everyone discussed for an hour and finally agreed to Xu Hongji's request. At the same time, in order to appease the people of Southern Zhili, the Ministry of War also severely punished the generals who had failed in the previous battles. Among them, the most eye-catching
It is the defeat of Runing Mansion. It can be said that all the unexpected events in Southern Zhili were caused by the defeat of Runing Mansion.
After urgent consultations, they were posted throughout the city of Nanjing. Xu Changlu, the commander-in-chief of the Ningguo Mansion, was demoted one level to the position of deputy commander-in-chief, but temporarily replaced the commander-in-chief with the position of deputy commander-in-chief. Yue Zicong, the former deputy commander-in-chief of the Ningguo Mansion, was
His poor command and unauthorized deployment of troops led to the loss of troops in the battle at Mount Jingangtai. He was directly demoted from the deputy commander-in-chief to the leader of the team, and was temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Beijing camp. Jiangzhou garrison Nangong Sen also had improper command, and he cannot shirk the responsibility, but he is still mindful of his body.
If he is seriously injured, he will not be held accountable, and he will be allowed to go home and die.
As soon as this official document came out, the people who did not know the truth started to curse one after another, and the target of the attack was directly directed at Yue Zicong. Now that Xu Changlu is not in Nanjing, and Nangong Sen is disabled, the people can only vent their anger on Yue Zicong.
Only an hour after the official document was posted, Yue Zicong's house in Nanjing was surrounded. Many street gangsters took the opportunity to throw mud and rotten eggs at the door of Yue's house.
The neighbors who used to be very respectful to Yue Zicong also changed. They looked at the Yue family with disgust and even scolded them in person. Yue Zicong's wife Wang went to the street to buy groceries and was ridiculed by the neighbors. The most disgusting thing was
Yes, the street vendors didn't sell vegetables even though they had them. Wang went home crying, but even so, those people still didn't let her go.
Outside the Yue family's house, there was a crowd of angry people. The bandits took Tongling and ravaged Southern Zhili. The peaceful life before was gone, and the culprit of all this was Yue Zicong.
In the hall, Yue Zicong was sitting at the table, drinking a strong drink. On the other side was Wang who was sobbing constantly. Yue Zicong was angry and felt extremely wronged. Half of the tens of thousands of soldiers from Nanzhili could escape.
, isn’t it the efforts of his Yue and Nangong Sen? After returning to Nanjing, Yue Zicong was also mentally prepared. With Xu Changlu’s relationship, his Yue might not have anything good to eat. But he never imagined that those people would behave like this
He was ruthless and showed no mercy at all. The Runing Mansion suffered a huge defeat, but all the responsibilities were placed on his father-in-law. At this moment, how I wished it was me who was missing an arm.
I lost an arm and left the military. Even though I was disabled, at least when I left this place of right and wrong, those people would not embarrass a disabled person. It's better now. Being demoted to the leader of the team is obviously an insult. Directly
Wouldn't it be better to beat him to the end? He was also transferred to the left front camp of the Governor's Mansion for use. This is to send him to the front line as cannon fodder.
It's really cruel. No matter what, when I was working under Xu Changlu, I did a lot of things for him, but this person turned his back and showed no mercy. I really wanted to chop Xu Changlu into pieces and die together, but at home
What should I do with my wife, children, and children?
Xu Changlu, how could he not be in Nanjing? He must be here. Based on my understanding of Xu Changlu, he finally came back alive. The person named Xu still has to relax. He is probably in some building by the Qinhuai River at the moment.
Are you happy or not thinking about Shu?
"Yue Zicong, you bastard, why do you have the nerve to come back? Get out, get out of Nanjing, get out of Nanjing." Outside the hospital, the curses continued and became more and more unpleasant. Yue Zicong's face turned livid, and he suddenly slammed his wine glass on the table.
, stood up suddenly, and moved his legs to walk out.
Mrs. Wang had been standing guard by the side. When she saw this, she quickly opened her hands to stop her and hugged Yue Zicong, "Husband, what are you doing?"
"As a husband, I went out to meet these people. What's the matter with me? When will it end?" Yue Zicong looked furious. How could Mrs. Wang let him go? She hugged him tighter,
"Husband, you can't go out. You just passed by and they just cursed and didn't dare to do anything else."
"It's just that you are being wronged." Yue Zicong hugged Mr. Wang gently, with a trace of mist in his eyes. Suddenly, he felt that he was so pitiful, and those who were making trouble outside were also pitiful. Everyone was a certain person.
A chess piece that some people fooled.
In this way, two days later, the Nanjing Governor's Office assembled an army of 50,000 people and left Nanjing under the leadership of the Duke Xu Hongji. The soldiers and people of South Zhili finally saw a glimmer of hope. At least, in everyone's hearts, Xu Hongji was still
Very impressive. After leaving the city for half a day, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp found a town to rest. Xu Hongji leaned against a wall and closed his eyes to rest. The young man with a white face and no beard next to him was his precious daughter Xu Zhixin.
At this time, Xu Zhixin was wearing a black armor and looked at the letter with a solemn expression. After reading it, Xu Hongji said calmly: "What do you think of the things in the letter?"
Xu Zhixin crumpled the letter into a ball, took out the book of fire and burned it. She squinted her beautiful eyes, thought carefully, and said seriously: "Dad, we seem to have no reason to refuse. We can not only defeat the enemy, but also get a benefit, so on and so forth
It's a good thing, why not do it? I'm just worried, will it be possible? We have never dealt with Tie Mo before."
That's right, Tie Mo sent someone to send the letter to Xu Hongji. The content of the letter was not complicated at all. It just wanted the Beijing army to cooperate and try to get rid of Gao Yingxiang as much as possible. Xu Hongji thought it was good, because it was indeed lacking.
As for money, all Ming generals who lead troops and fight in wars these days are short of money, and Mr. Xu is no exception. But Xu Zhixin was a little embarrassed because she didn't know Tie Mo very well.
Tie Mo's name is well-known in the North. Anyone who leads an army must be a fool if he doesn't know Tie Mo. Not to mention the rogue bandits, all of whom are frightened by Tie Mo and privately call them alive.
Yama.
But in southern Zhili, Tiemo's reputation is not well known. It can only be said that the Ming Dynasty was too big. It covered thousands of miles from north to south. It snowed in the north and was warm as spring in the south. In this era of inconvenient transportation, many people in the north
Things that were passed down by word of mouth were still heard by hearsay in some places in southern Zhili. Xu Zhixin was not very interested in things in the north, so naturally she had no impression of Tie Mo.
Xu Hongji smiled strangely, sat up straight, and said softly: "Don't worry, this person is still trustworthy. Just write him a letter and say that we will try our best to cooperate. But the condition is that two
After months, the rogue bandits must be driven out of Nanzhili."
Xu Zhixin nodded noncommittally, "Well, Dad, are you too happy to agree? Have you heard any rumors before?"
"Haha, I really can't hide anything from you. In fact, my father knows a little about Tie Mo. A few days ago, Old Man Zhang sent someone a message, asking my father to cooperate more with this person.
Judging from Old Man Zhang’s attitude, he thinks very highly of this person. Speaking of which, he is only twenty years old and is already a mythical figure in the Xuan Mansion!”
Xu Hongji saw that Xu Zhixin was listening with great interest, so he told the story about Tie Mo in detail. After listening, Xu Zhixin's eyebrows were full of doubts. The thing about Tie Mo was really untrue. At a young age, he climbed to the position of governor of three provinces.
What Xu Zhixin didn't want to believe was that a few years ago, this person was just a guard soldier in Xuanhua Mansion.
In a few years, he climbed from a guard soldier to the position of governor of three provinces. None of this is important. What is important is that most of the soldiers and horses in this man's hands are private soldiers and are raised by himself. Several counties in Yunfu in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty
, it’s all Tie Mo’s own territory. It’s terrible for one person to dominate one area and maintain tens of thousands of private soldiers.
With such strength, are you sure he is just a guard soldier?
Xu Hongji didn't know what his daughter was thinking. What he was thinking about now was what to do next. Soon after, the Beijing army did not go directly south, but suddenly turned west from Lishui County, Yingtian Prefecture.
After that, we came to Wuhu County in Taiping Prefecture. Going south from Wuhu, we could approach Tongling soon. But at this time, Xu Hongji waved his hand, and tens of thousands of Beijing soldiers and horses were stationed in Wuhu.
The Nanjing side immediately sent a message to inquire about who could sit still. Xu Hongji's answer was very simple. He would wait for Xu Wenjue in Wuhu, and then go to Tongling after all the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp gathered together.
The officials of the Sixth Ministry knew clearly that there was something fishy here, but they could do nothing about it. When Xu Hongji was in Nanjing, he could compete with the officials of the Sixth Ministry. Now that he is leading a large army, he can't control it anymore. Regarding Xu Hongji's rhetoric, the officials of the Sixth Ministry
No one will believe it.
Are you lying to wait for Xu Wenjue in Wuhu? If you want to join forces, wouldn't it be better to go to Fanchang County in the south? Squat in Wuhu and wait for others. If Xu Wenjue doesn't arrive in Wuhu for half a month, the army will not move for half a month.
?
Gu Tongen wandered around the room worriedly, "What on earth does Xu Hongji want to do? He doesn't want to fight the gangsters?"
Zhu Jie, the Minister of Rites, said in a deep voice: "Probably not. Allowing the bandits to wreak havoc in Southern Zhili will do him no good at all. Could this matter have anything to do with Luzhou Prefecture?"
Zhu Jie just said it casually, but it shocked Gu Tongen and others. Yes, why did you forget that ancestor? Others don't know Tie Mo, but the officials of the Six Ministries know very well. Tie Mo is a big disaster.
There are so many people in the Sixth Department of the Beizhili Cabinet, but there is nothing they can do against this person? Hey, has this guy Tie Mo been too honest since he entered Luzhou Prefecture and conquered Lengshuiguan?
While the officials in Nanjing were thinking about Tie Mo, Tie Mo in Luzhou was also thinking about these officials in Nanjing.
A square table, a few dishes of side dishes, Tie Mo ate with gusto, "Mr. Wang, you said that if we are like a river full of soldiers but stand still, how do you think the people in Nanjing will react?"
"????" Wang Zuogao held the wine glass with a wry smile on his face. He really couldn't figure out what his supervisor was doing in his previous life. It was so disgusting that he could just pick up ideas at his fingertips.
By sending troops to Nijiang River, it is estimated that the officials of Nanzhili will be very happy. At this time, these people probably don't care about family differences. As long as the imperial soldiers and horses can take Tongling back, they will go back to burn incense and worship Buddha. Tie will be very happy.
The Superintendent sent troops to the Nijiang River. Everyone was happy, but not long after you were happy, Superintendent Iron issued an order and the army was stationed on the north bank of the Nijiang River and stopped moving.
What does this look like? It's like someone handed you a delicious sweet-scented osmanthus cake when you were the hungriest. When you opened your mouth to eat it, the person took back his hand and hid the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his sleeve.
Let me tell you seriously: "I'm just teasing you, but I won't let you eat it!"
