Walking into the building, you can see that there are two more corridors, the east and west. The main tone of the corridor is red, and the two sides are extremely clean. The east is a place for bathing and sauna, and the west is a good place for gambling and entertainment.
Chu Tiemo had no intention of going. He wanted to go east and enjoy the sensual services of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was accompanied by Chang Minyue, who was a little embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned he was.
After staying in the entertainment city for a while, Tie Mo hurried back to the mansion. After all, he had to attend the court meeting tomorrow.
I spent the whole night with Chang Minyue, and the next day was another regular court meeting.
At the beginning of the court meeting, all they talked about was the great victory in the north. Zhu Youjian only gave verbal praise but did not mention any actual rewards. All the ministers were too sensible and did not interrupt. Ordinarily, Iron Governor should be rewarded for such merits.
However, he is already the governor of the five provinces and the official of the frontier. If he climbs up the ladder, he really doesn’t know what the title will be. At most, he will be given some empty titles. Of course, this seems to be what Iron Governor has in mind.
, but who dares to say such a thing openly?
Zhu Youjian was too lazy to reward him, but Tie Mo would not let Zhu Youjian pass easily. His waist was straight and full of power. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Youjian and shouted, "Your Majesty, I have something to do. It is not easy for me to lead my men to suppress the bandits. Every department has suffered casualties."
It’s such a heavy loss, and I hope the imperial court can provide more compensation. In addition, the Wei River has burst its banks recently, causing serious flooding in Guanzhong. I hope your majesty can lend Mr. Yang Yunxian to me, and I will be very grateful!"
What does lying mean? This is that the Iron Governor is probably the only one in the world who can tell lies so righteously, right?
What the Iron Governor said seems to be true, but it is very false. The Northern Shanxi Army made great contributions to suppressing the bandits in the Central Plains, but how did it get the heavy casualties? Why more pensions? It is clear that you have to pay for the hard work from the court. Hum, you
The Iron Governor sits in Guanzhong, and the soldiers he raises are all private soldiers. They have to pay hard work fees, and they can drive them by themselves. Why do they ask the court for money?
Knowing that the Northern Jin Army was a serious enemy, they still rewarded them with money and silk. Do they really think that the imperial court is a fool? And the Wei River bursting its embankments is even more ridiculous. There is rarely enough water in that broken place in Guanzhong. You want to talk about the water level of the Wei River
It is much shallower and some people still believe it, but when it comes to the Wei River bursting its banks, who will be fooled? Wherever the Wei River is, it is in the hinterland of Guanzhong, the core area of Xi'an Prefecture. If there is a flood anywhere, Guanzhong will be flooded with refugees, and they will run away desperately.
Well, I haven’t heard of refugees in Guanzhong recently. However, the construction of the Capital University is in full swing. It recruits students all over the country. It only depends on qualifications. Once admitted, there is no fee, which makes some students from poor families compete.
They flocked to Guanzhong.
Well, in short, from any aspect, it seems that the Northern Shanxi Party is short of money, and the court really has no reason to give money.
Cheng Jiming thought something strange in his heart, why did Tie Mo open his mouth even though he knew that asking for money from the court would be useless? Tie Mo was not a fool, on the contrary, he was very smart. He lowered his head and glanced around, seeing the proud smile on Tie Mo's lips.
Suddenly, Cheng Jiming understood a little bit.
Now that Tian Zhao has been dealt with, Zhang Xianzhong is still left, and now Zhang Xianzhong is rushing south again into the Jiangnan area. Although Zhang Xianzhong suffered heavy losses, he is still powerful, which is quite difficult. In other words, this is the best way to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong.
The most shut down moment.
The most terrible thing is that Jiangnan is the Donglin Party's money bag. Gao Yingxiang's influx into Zhejiang caused heavy losses to the Donglin Party. This time Zhang Xianzhong ran there again. If Zhang Xianzhong was not killed quickly, it would be too late to cry.
Of course, the fact that Zhang Xianzhong had the opportunity to run to the south of the Yangtze River probably had something to do with Tie Mo in front of him. When Zhang Xianzhong went south, the Nanjing soldiers and horses entrenched in Yingtian Mansion were grinding and grinding. It can be seen that Xu Guogong had already discussed it with Tie Mo. However,
It's enough to understand this kind of thing in your heart, and you absolutely can't say it openly in court.
What would be the consequences if word came out at this time that the imperial court ignored the casualties of the soldiers and refused to provide compensation? In the hearts of the soldiers at the front, especially the different soldiers, they did not know the difference between the Northern Shan Army and other soldiers. They were from a humble background and did not understand
So many truths. In short, if you don't sympathize with the Northern Shanxi Army, you actually don't sympathize with the soldiers who suppressed the bandits. This is a huge blow to the military morale of the frontline soldiers. At that time, Tie Mo was using some methods to attract military morale, but it was too simple.
After thinking about the joints, Cheng Jiming quickly raised his head and winked at Zhu Youjian. Unfortunately, Zhu Youjian misunderstood and thought that Cheng Jiming wanted him to be beaten to death but he couldn't let go. The most important thing is that Zhu Youjian's hand
There is really no money here.
As a result, Zhu Youjian coughed twice, pinched his throat and said with a bitter look, "Tie Aiqing also knows that civil unrest has occurred recently, which has cost a lot of money. Now the Ministry of Household Affairs and various departments are also in short supply, so this pension is
Let's discuss this matter in a few days. As for Yang Yunxian, since he is in trouble, there is nothing wrong with asking him to help."
Zhu Youjian's words are very artistic, he sounds soft, but his attitude is very firm. In short, if you want Yang Yunxian, I can give it to you. I want money, hehe, no.
I thought Tie Mo would argue a few words, but I never thought that Governor Tie Mo would be so generous. He knocked on his forehead and cupped his hands and said, "I am foolish. In this case, without your Majesty's trouble, I will make up for the pension. Don't let me."
Our troops and the bandit-suppressing soldiers shed blood in vain."
Hiss, as soon as Governor Tie said these words, many civil servants and generals in the palace were all confused. Only Cheng Jiming frowned and felt anxious. Now that Tie Mo said these words, his intention was very obvious. There was nothing he could do, Cheng
Ji Ming had no choice but to step out and cup his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have discussed with the Lords of the Third Division a few days ago, and now we can allocate a sum of money, so the Iron Governor does not need to worry about the pension."
Zhu Youjian was very surprised when Cheng Jiming said this. Although he didn't know why Cheng Jiming said this, Zhu Youjian still chose to listen, nodded and smiled, "In this case, just follow what Master Cheng said.
!”
Although he got the money, Tie Mo stared at Cheng Jiming with a sullen face. He wanted to trick Zhu Youjian, but Cheng Jiming saw through it. But it was not all without gain, although the court could not give too much money.
, but no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.
At the end of the court meeting, Zhu Youjian and several favored ministers returned to the imperial study. In the room, Cheng Jiming told the Iron Governor's trick, and Zhu Youjian cursed in his heart. However, Zhu Youjian also understood in his heart that when he decided
When the party broke away from Northern Shanxi, this kind of thing was inevitable. As for Tie Mo at this time, he had quietly come to the west, which is the so-called cold palace.
In Hanxinyuan, two women were busy under a fruit tree. The mature and beautiful beauty was wearing a blue gown. The fabric was not very good, but it could not hide her youth. Looking at Zhang Yan in front of him, Tie Mo's thoughts
It’s complicated. The person I feel most sorry for in this life is this woman.
Xiulan was busy for a while, glanced back and was stunned. She quickly reached out to touch Zhang Yan, and then retreated to the corner knowingly.
Zhang Yan's mind went blank, and she didn't know whether to be happy or cry. She had seen him in countless dreams over the years, but when she woke up, it was all in vain. But when she actually met him, she didn't know where to start talking about him.
, it is complicated after all.
"Why are you here...this..."
Tie Mo walked straight over, and when Zhang Yan was surprised, he reached out and took her into his arms, "What is this? Can't I come? You have suffered so much these years."
Listening to Tie Mo's emotional words, tears flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes, but she struggled again, "Are you crazy? Let go, this is the palace..."
"Why are you panicking? Some people have a clearer mind. Otherwise, it would be impossible to throw you into this cold palace. Besides, in today's current situation, without these things, nothing can be changed."
Tie Mo understood very well in his heart, but how could Zhang Yan get through the test in her heart? How could she mess around in this palace? Her life and death were no longer important, but under the public opinion, wouldn't Tie Mo be going to be killed?
Crushed to death?
Fortunately, Tie Mo did not act too much and soon accompanied Zhang Yan into the house. The two of them talked a lot, which no outsider would know.
The next day, a piece of official document flew to the Forbidden City. Sure enough, as Tie Mo left, the Northern Jin army retreated. Zhang Xianzhong immediately abandoned Chaohu and rushed south into the prosperous Jiangnan area. Yingtianfu soldiers and horses were under the command of Wei Guogong Xu Hongji.
He actually didn't move much under the hint. Zhang Xianzhong was not stupid and saw the signs were coming. He took advantage of this opportunity and rushed into the Jiangnan area like a storm.
Due to the tightness of the war, Yang Sichang, who was in charge of suppressing bandits, was also overwhelmed and could only ask the court for reinforcements. Speaking of the Jiangnan war, it is quite incredible. It is said that Yang Sichang should be even more powerful with Chen Qiyu as a new force, but it just so happens
It was Chen Qiyu's new force that gave Yang Sichang so much confidence that he sent the army to cross the river in three groups. As soon as the army arrived at the Yangtze River, Zhang Xianzhong sent General Fang Jiushan with more than 30,000 men to meet the enemy.
This time, in order to cross the river bend, Fang Jiushan recruited all the nearby boats, even the small fishing boats. It is said that with so many boats, the noise will be huge. As long as you pay attention, you will definitely be able to discover the intentions of the bandits.
However, Yang Sichang ignored the direction of Huzhou. In fact, this is no wonder Yang Sichang. After all, people in this era had congenital deficiencies in fighting across water. Yang Sichang ignored the rebel soldiers in Huzhou, plus the three-pronged army crossing the river, and the strength of Guangdong Province
Weak, Fang Jiushan suddenly rushed to Haiyan Town and immediately killed the unprepared officers and soldiers to a great defeat.
Fang Jiushan had been preparing for so long. Naturally, he would not just attack the small town of Haiyan. The bandits went directly north to attack the city of Guangzhou. At this time, the garrison of Guangzhou was less than 20,000. In addition, the east gate garrison surrendered to the enemy and Fang Jiushan
Jiushan led his troops to attack, and it only took one day for Fang Jiushan to lead his army to capture Guangzhou. As for the imperial court, Guangzhou garrison Wilde failed to wait for reinforcements for a long time, and was captured and died on the spot.
After occupying Guangzhou, Fang Jiushan sent troops to attack Jianping County in the northeast of Guangzhou and Meizhu Town in the north. On the other side, he also sent an army of nearly ten thousand people all the way east to attack Hangcun Town. Hangcun Town is located on the east coast of Guangzhou.
Guard the main road at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
At this time, there were more than a thousand soldiers stationed in Hangcun Town, which was not a small number, but these people were really not enough to face the nearly 10,000 menacing bandit soldiers. At that time, Hangcun Town was guarding a pair of father and son, among whom
The elder's name was Liang Shichuan, and his son's name was Liang Wanzong. When the father and son saw that Hangcun Town could not be defended, they immediately led all the remaining soldiers and horses to flee to Meizhu Town in the north, and joined forces with the soldiers and horses of Meizhu Town there to guard Zhendian.
The rebels captured Guangzhou, and all the salt fields in Guangzhou were lost in two days. The loss of Guangzhou not only directly threatened Suzhou, the core area of Yingtian Mansion, but also did not abandon the source of official salt. This was no different to Yang Sichang.
Shocking news.
Yang Sichang lost Guangzhou, and Tie Mo was not happy at all. According to history, Wilde should have waited for reinforcements to defeat the rebels, but in this time and space, Yang Sichang actually sent all his troops to the edge of the Yangtze River, resulting in no reinforcements.
Oscar Wilde, caused this Jiangnan brave general to die at the hands of thieves. Tie Mo felt that Yang Sichang was really too young. After all, he could not compare to an old minister like Sun Chuanting. How could he forget the importance of Guangzhou?
In fact, Tie Mo did blame Yang Sichang a little bit wrongly. Although Yang Sichang was inexperienced, he still knew the importance of Guangzhou and Hangzhou. Regardless of the military status of these two places, the official salt of Taihu Lake was enough to make people jealous.
Therefore, according to normal circumstances, even if Yang Sichang could not swallow up Zhang Xianzhong's traitors in a short time, he would not be able to easily abandon Guangzhou. However, the court pressed too hard, and Tie Mo had won a big victory before, so the court urgently needed a big victory to find someone.
After regaining his reputation and being forced to do nothing, Yang Sichang had no choice but to send troops. Unexpectedly, something happened in Guangzhou before they even crossed the Yangtze River.
Fortunately, we haven't crossed the Yangtze River yet. If we did, we would have to work hard to get back.
Before Guangzhou was lost, the imperial court could still trap Zhang Xianzhong's forces near Hezhou. But once Guangzhou was lost, the door to the north was wide open, and the situation was no longer the same. Zhang Xianzhong's forces expanded rapidly, and he was about to capture Suzhou.
This was not the result Tie Mo wanted, so he had no choice but to head south quickly, and even directly ordered the army to march out of Suzhou Mansion.
On the 16th of that month, Tie Mo and his party arrived at Suzhou Mansion, an important town in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. As soon as they entered Suzhou Mansion, officials from Suzhou and Hangzhou came to greet them. Even Yang Sichang, who was the governor of the three provinces, was among them.
After meeting with Yang Sichang and others, Tie Mo rode through the city gate and headed towards Tong Paradise. Tie Mo could not forget Tong Paradise. He had been to many places over the years, but nothing comparable to Tong Paradise.
I haven't seen him yet. Tie Mo went straight into the city, which made Yang Sichang feel cold. It seemed that Governor Tie Mo was not in a good mood.
The scenery in the Tong Paradise remains the same. Walking around the small lake along the corridor and looking at the beautiful lotus pond, even Chang Minyue, who has always been particular about elegance, couldn't help but admired, "Supervisor, this Tong Paradise has added a lot of scenery.
Woolen cloth."
"Yes, with the added scenery here, there will be fewer families around!" Tie Mo laughed at Zhu Yan and at the same time he was laughing at himself.
Over the years, Tie Mo has done many bad things, but compared with Zhu Yan, they are nothing compared to Zhu Yan. Tie Mo still can't forget the name Xiao Yushan. Xiao Yushan, this name has appeared in his mind countless times.
While Gao Yingxiang was wreaking havoc in the south of the Yangtze River, he was grabbing benefits in Hangzhou. Zhu Yan also took this opportunity to go to Meili Town and dig up the ancestral graves of the Xiao family. That time, he not only got rid of countless ancestral belongings of the Xiao family, but also killed the highly respected Taigong Xiao.
