Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and Li Yuanqing can be said to be the five most outstanding people under Mao Wenlong at the time. Especially Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong and Kong Youde were valued by Mao Wenlong as if they were adopted sons. Perhaps because of this
For various reasons, the relationship between the three of them is also very good. As early as when they were in Phi Island, the three of them would often get together to drink and eat meat, and they would help each other when something happened.
Shang Kexi is brave and brave, Geng Jing is loyal and shrewd, and Kong Youde seems to have neutralized the two's advantages, with a bit of bravery and a bit of wit. However, neither smart nor brave enough to be of great use, and many times his cleverness is only
Will make things wrong. For example, for the sake of military glory, sometimes he will kill good people and take credit for it. This matter
It happened when we were in Liaodong. During the attack on Dongjiang Town, Kong Youde had all the men and women in Dongjiang Town, whether they were Tatars or Han, beheaded in order to gain military glory. Governor Mao chose to turn a blind eye to this matter.
I guess it was Governor Mao's connivance that allowed Kong Youde to develop this bad habit.
After a few glasses of wine, his face became much rosier. Geng Jingzhong looked at Kong Youde with a complicated mood, "Brother Kong, we should have known each other for more than ten years, right?"
Kong Youde was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course, it has been more than nineteen years, and our brothers have known each other since Kong followed Governor Mao. Why did Brother Geng suddenly mention this? Hey, you know me
As a human being, if you have anything to say, please just say it. Hiding it like this makes me feel uncomfortable, and Kong is also a little uncomfortable."
Geng Jingzhong smiled bitterly, put down his wine glass, and leaned down, his chin almost resting on the table, "Brother Kong, do you remember what I told you before in Zhangbei? We are now under the command of the Iron Governor, here.
This is not Liaodong, and the Iron Governor is not even the Governor Mao. We should pay more attention to what we do, especially killing good people and taking credit for their merits, which should be put to an end. You must have not forgotten what Geng said, right?"
Kong Youde's eyes flashed sharply, and his expression became much more complicated. He frowned, raised his hand slightly, and slowly rubbed his cheek with five fingers. After a long time, he asked with a smile: "Brother Geng
, what do you mean?"
"Brother Kong, at this time, are you still unwilling to tell the truth to Brother Wei? Why do you think Mr. Geng said so many words to you? Do you really think that the things in Xujiazhai are unknown to the ghosts?
?You should be glad that it was me who came, and not the Governor's personal bodyguards. If the Governor hadn't considered the thoughts of my old Liaodong general, he sent his personal bodyguards here."
Kong Youde's face turned dull, and his expression became much colder. He tightened his fingers and slowly loosened them. He lowered his head slightly, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, "Brother Geng, what are you going to do? Cut off Kong's head.
Suppressing military law?"
Geng Zhongming frowned, and when he saw Kong Youde's attitude, he became a little angry, "Brother Kong, what are you talking about? What does Geng want to do? It's not what Geng wants now, but what the supervisor needs.
I have an explanation. You killed a good person and took credit for it, and narrowly escaped death in Xujiazhai. There are many people who know about this. Do you really think you can hide it?"
"Brother Kong, that's it. Geng hopes that you can understand that you must be responsible for what you have done. There is no use in escaping. At least, you are the only one to be held responsible for now. If there is going to be a riot, it will be widely implicated. Could it be that you
Do you hope that your wife, children, and children will also suffer like you? Well, that’s all for my brother, you can make up your own mind about what to do!”
Geng Jingzhong stood up with an ugly face. Kong Youde was really disappointing. The supervisor did not pursue the matter with great fanfare. He had already given everyone a huge face. If it was handled privately, at most one person would take the blame, and the others would not suffer anything.
Influence. However, Kong Youde's attitude did not realize the good intentions of everyone at all. After leaving Kong Youde's residence, Shang Kexi and others came up to him after a while.
Shang Kexi and others obviously already knew about this matter. Seeing that there was no one else around, Li Jiucheng asked in a low voice: "Brother Geng, what did Brother Kong say? Is it really he who did it?"
"Hey, he doesn't even bother to deny it. Who else can be involved in this matter besides him? He still thinks that this is Liaodong and Governor Mao is above his head. Brothers, please cheer up and keep an eye on me.
, don’t let anything go wrong again.”
"This..." Li Jiucheng and others had complicated expressions on their faces. It was a bit embarrassing for them to stare at their former good brothers. But this time Kong Youde made a mistake that was so big that no one could
I have the nerve to intercede for him. Killing a good person and taking credit for his crime is a serious crime of decapitation. Not only does he die, his wife, children and children will also be implicated.
On the other side, not long after Geng Jingzhong left, deputy general Hu Longtao entered the room. After looking at Kong Youde's face, he cupped his hands and said: "General, does the supervisor want to ask you about your crime? The supervisor is too reluctant to miss the old relationship.
, brothers risked their lives and fought for a long time, didn't they just chop off the heads of a few ordinary people? They actually want to question the general."
Kong Youde originally had his head lowered. After listening to Hu Longtao's words, he raised his head, cracking the corners of his mouth, revealing a cold smile, "How are the arrangements for Zhang Bei's side?"
"General, Zhang Bei's side has already made arrangements, and I'm just waiting for a word from you. Before coming here, the general has already told those trustworthy brothers, and now I'm just waiting for a word from the general!" Hu Longtao cupped his hands with a look on his face.
But there was a color of excitement.
Kong Youde stood up, took two steps, spread his fingers, and let the sun shine through the cracks, "Let brothers get ready, hey, I didn't expect that in the end, we would still reach this point. This world is so big, wouldn't it be possible for me to be there?"
Where does Kong Youde live?"
In Kaifeng City, Tie Mo has many things to worry about. Hai Lanzhu and Xiao Ruxue want to open up the Central Plains market, and he, the supervisor, has to show up to support the situation. In addition to these, he also has to worry about the Royal Navy and the reorganization of Li Yangchun's old department.
Things. Although I am not in Zhejiang, I have never let go of the Royal Navy. This is my future cash cow.
The reorganization of Li Yangchun's old department is not going too smoothly. Many of Li Yangchun's leaders are also used to being rough. Now they are subject to various rules and regulations, so they are naturally unhappy. Many of the rebel leaders did not rebel just to make a living, and quite a few of them rebelled.
part
People just want to have fun and embark on this road. They usually do not obey the rules during training, and some even run away with the leader. Naturally, they will not be polite to such people. In recent days, Liu Guoneng personally ordered the execution of six leaders.
With his head, he suppressed the evil spirit.
In the room, Li Yangchun and Hua Xiaorong stood in the middle with livid faces. Tie Mo held the table and roared from the opposite side, "Li Yangchun, Li Tianwang, right? I don't care what you were like before, you can take care of me now."
For the people below, reorganization and training are a necessary stage.
, no one can avoid it. Long ago, I have said that those who are willing to stay are welcome, and those who are unwilling to stay are welcome to leave. But as long as you stay, you must abide by the rules in the army. The right way is a state-owned law, and a family has family rules.
Isn’t it because you, the Superintendent, are extraordinarily merciful to you, King Li Tian?”
"Li Yangchun and Hua Xiaorong, please remember that you are now officers and soldiers, generals of the imperial court, and no longer just bandits. Please change your mind and do what a general should do instead of running away.
I am complaining here. Of course, I will not let you come here in vain. Now I will give you another chance and let the people under you make another choice. It is up to you to decide where you want to go!"
Li Yangchun and Hua Xiaorong stood in the room, stunned by Tie Mo's scolding for a quarter of an hour. At first, Li Yangchun wanted to refute a few words, but gradually his thoughts faded away. When they went out, Hua Xiaorong grabbed the
He picked up the willow branch and smacked the corner of the wall fiercely, "Hey, the supervisor is really angry this time, and those people really don't live up to their expectations. With the same training, others can withstand it, why can't they?"
"Hey, Brother Hua, do you really think it's just a matter of training? Some people don't want to stay here, unlike before, where they drank, ate meat, played with women, and did whatever they wanted. Now the Supervisor has spoken,
It’s a good thing to give everyone a chance again. We also need to change our ideas. If we bother the Superintendent with this matter in the future, we probably won’t be able to get him back!”
Li Yangchun actually understood everything in his heart, but he had to do some things. Many of them were brothers who started their careers together in the early years. If he really ignored them and allowed them to be beheaded, how would he, Li Yangchun, lead the army in the future? Supervisor
There is also reason to be angry. You have become officers, soldiers and generals, and you are still playing the tricks of rogue bandits. How can you not be angry?
In the next two days, the reorganization of Li Yangchun's headquarters was carried out with great vigor and excitement. When someone left, someone came. The person who came was an old acquaintance, and turned out to be Zhang Xianzhong's number one general Sun Kewang. Tie Mo's intention was obvious. Li Yangchun,
Hua Xiaorong and Sun Kewang, the three bandit leaders, come together to learn from each other and promote each other, so as to eliminate the bad habits of the bandits as soon as possible.
Li Yangchun smiled bitterly in his heart. He never thought that one day he and Sun Kewang would sit together and improve each other. Wang Zuogao personally acted as a guide for the three of them, and it turned out that the one who made the fastest progress was Xiaorong.
In mid-August, the news of He Yiqing's resignation and return to his hometown reached the capital. At this time, there was an uproar, and many people began to feel cold. Those who knew it would naturally understand that He Yiqing had exposed his flaws, and let Tie Mo grab the handle and beat him to death.
After a while. Those who didn't know, thought He Yiqing was afraid of Tie Mo. In short, the officials in the Forbidden City no longer looked forward to going to Henan as before, and for a while everyone avoided the position of governor of Henan.
In the cabinet, Cheng Jiming and others also had a big headache. No one expected to send a Henan governor there, but it ended up like this. After understanding the whole story, we can only say that He Yiqing gave birth to a prodigal son. If He Minghan hadn't made a fuss,
Moth, maybe Hailanzhu will be dead right now
The target of Hai Lanzhu was carefully considered. As long as something happens to Hai Lanzhu, it is estimated that Tie Mo's side will no longer be as stable as before. But something went wrong. After this incident, Tie Mo also
If you lose your vigilance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take action again in the future.
The post of governor of Henan must be filled by someone, but it was difficult to choose a candidate for a while. After a long time, Zhou Tingru, who was sitting at the end, raised his hands and said: "My lords, the bandits have now withdrawn from the Central Plains, and Sun Chuanting is still in Henan. Why not let Sun Chuanting be the governor of Henan?"
Governor? This person is very capable, but he also has some difficulties with Tie Mo. Letting him be the governor of Henan is not a bad choice."
Cheng Jiming frowned and did not agree immediately. It was true that Sun Chuanting and Tie Mo did not deal with each other, but Cheng Jiming and others were not too cold towards Sun Chuanting. They always felt that Sun Chuanting was a bit uncomfortable in the court. Many times, you
It is unclear whether he was loyal to the Ming court, the king, or the officials. Sun Chuanting had his own principles in doing things. Sometimes, the principles Sun Chuanting adhered to conflicted with the interests of officials.
Sun Chuanting had many problems, but his ability was also obvious to all. Sun Chuanting was not only effective in suppressing bandits, but also had good abilities in handling government affairs. This had already been witnessed when he took up his post in the capital.
After a while, Wang Qiaochong nodded to Cheng Jiming, "Mr. Cheng, I think what Mr. Zhou said is reasonable. I can't find a more suitable candidate at the moment. It's better to let Sun Chuanting take the responsibility first, and wait for someone to come later."
Let’s talk about other choices.”
The position of governor of Henan is strongly advocated by the cabinet. If nothing happens in the end, how will the cabinet lose face? Anyway, Wang Qia's intention is very clear. Regardless of whether it is appropriate or not, let Sun Chuanting be in front of him first. At least for now, Sun Chuanting will not wear the same pants as Tie Mo.
.
After Wang Qia spoke, Cheng Jiming nodded in agreement. The cabinet drafted a plan and sent it to the imperial study. Chongzhen just glanced at it and approved it. It's not that Zhu Youjian didn't want to express his opinion, but he understood that even if
He disagreed. The cabinet would still send official documents to Kaifeng Mansion. Some things were just a matter of process.
It didn't take long for Kaifeng to become lively. Sun Chuanting, who had suppressed bandits, was promoted to the governor of Henan Province and took office on the spot. Now, the Henan officials who had disliked Sun Chuanting in the past started to get involved one by one and became enthusiastic.
Just when everyone's attention was attracted by this incident, a major event also happened on the outskirts of Kaifeng. A group of soldiers and horses quietly left the camp outside the northern Shanxi military camp and headed east. When Liu Guoneng realized that something was wrong,
, it was already early the next morning.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, the horn sounded, and it didn't take long for Shang Kexi and others to arrive at the command post. Liu Guoneng slapped the table and said angrily with a livid face: "Who can tell me how this happened? What did General Geng explain before he left?
Now that something like this has happened, how can we have the dignity to go see the Superintendent?"
Liu Guoneng had never been so angry. This time he had the intention to kill, and for no other reason, he allowed Kong Youde to escape with his cronies under the watch of everyone. Kong Youde must have chosen the route early, and walked all the way out of the military camp.
Head east, pass Fengxiang and go to the coast. These people still have war horses, so they will definitely not be able to catch up.
Shang Kexi and others' faces were ashen and they didn't dare to breathe. They didn't expect that things would develop to this point! They didn't expect that Kong Youde would actually do this!
