Although Zhang Ren strongly dissuaded him, Gao Pragmatic finally decided to visit the Bazhai area in person.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic is also afraid of death, especially for the mysterious method of "gu" that is difficult to understand. Although he is very curious, he never wants to try it himself, so he does not intend to have any direct contact with those Yao people.
But even if you don't go deep into Bazhai for on-the-spot investigation, you can at least get to Liuzhou Prefecture. To the west of Liuzhou Prefecture is the Bazhai area. If you pass through Bazhai and continue west, it will be the northern part of Si'en Prefecture.
If we only go to Liuzhou Prefecture, Gao Pragmatic still dares to go there. After all, Liuzhou Prefecture has two Guangxi officials, namely, "Deputy Envoy Liuzhou Qingyuan Si'en, who is in charge of Jiangyou" and "General Liu Qingyou, who is in charge of Guangxi".
Being in charge, safety should be relatively guaranteed.
However, although Gao Pangshi was anxious to go, the fact was that he still couldn't make the trip the next day. First, he had to go through the motions that day, first visit Zhang Ren, and then receive a large number of people who came to visit him at the Procuratorate.
Guangxi officials. The second thing is that he relies on his own travel - the three hundred servants also need to take a rest and make various preparations for marching in the south before they can travel.
As for the ceremonial guard patrolling the censor, the guards and horses assigned to him by the Guangxi local government must also be prepared.
In the end, even though Gao Pangshi, who knew that Zhang had just been appointed, was extremely anxious, he still delayed his departure from Guilin Mansion until the third day and headed southwest.
It was said that he was traveling in a hurry, but in fact he was not going anywhere fast. Even if he gave up his sedan chair and rode a horse, it would be useless, because his three hundred servants had horses, and the accompanying patrol censor's guard of honor and five soldiers sent by the Guangxi Guards
All the soldiers of the Hundred Guards had no horses and could only walk all the way.
Forget about walking, this group of people walked very slowly, which made Gao Qingshi feel angry.
This is not the end, there is even more trouble, because Gao pragmatically has to go through five inspection departments: Tonggu City Inspection Department (the city of the market), Lanma Town Inspection Department, Changan Town Inspection Department, Pinggu City Inspection Department,
Le Town Inspection Department, Dongquan Town Inspection Department, and two counties: Yongfu County and Liucheng County.
The five inspection departments in these two counties are all set up by the imperial court. When the newly appointed inspection officer passes by, these little soldiers and crabs will not dare to neglect them. They treat them all as a top priority, and they will do whatever they want.
In the reception, I took the trouble to be very pragmatic. But this is a characteristic of officialdom. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, being very pragmatic also makes it difficult to get angry.
Fortunately, the inspection department was of low rank, and Gao Jingshi was the dignified inspector, so he could stop for a while and leave. However, when he was in Yongfu County and Liucheng County, since both magistrates of the two counties were Jinshi, Gao Jingshi had to give some face.
Stayed there all night.
Hurrying slowly, we finally arrived at Liuzhou Mansion on the third day.
The administrative seat of Liuzhou Prefecture is located in Maping County. On the day when Gao Pingshi arrived, the four chief officials, Jiang Xin, deputy envoy to Jiangyou, Ni Zhonghua, Liu Qingsen general, Liuzhou prefect Ji Yuchun and Maping County magistrate Rao Yanghao were still there.
For example, with a large group of subordinate officials, the general and more than a thousand officers and soldiers were waiting for the patrol in the suburbs of Maping County. [I wasted half a night trying to find out the information of these people. I will say? I can check it]
"Records of Shenzong" is a pure ancient text without even punctuation marks.]
Now Gao Jingshi has experienced some of the majesty of the patrol censor, so during this meeting, Gao Jingshi's demeanor is more sufficient than before. No matter how cheerful or even humble and flattering the other party is, Gao Jingshi always looks calm, and occasionally
Being able to show a faint smile to Jiang Xin and Ji Yuchun, even Rao Yanghao, the magistrate of Maping County who was also a civil servant but came from a juren background, could not get Gao Pragmatic's "slight smile".
As for Liu Qingshen's general Ni Zhonghua, he started sweating profusely from the first moment he saw the three hundred servants around Gao Pangshi, fearing that Gao Pangshi would punish him for lax military management - he brought this
Although more than a thousand people have been carefully selected from Liu Qing's army, when they are placed here, even people who don't understand soldiers can see the difference between them and the highly pragmatic servants.
The Gao family's servants were allowed to accompany them this time with the emperor's permission. Naturally, they would not use firearms, armor, flags, or golden drums like in the past.
This time they came out and were uniformly equipped with the "Longqing II" muskets currently only used by the elite of the Northern Army. They were also equipped with Yanling knives produced and used by Jinghua Iron Works and a small number of eucalyptus bows. The horses were also hung with weapons worn by each of them in battle.
Wear a good half-length cotton armor - you can't wear this thing casually. Although it is about to enter late autumn in terms of time, this is Liuzhou, Guangxi, and cotton armor will still make you hot to death if you wear it for a long time.
When they were accompanying them on horseback, the Liuzhou soldiers were dumbfounded by the good treatment of the Gao family's servants. Because in this land of Guangxi, the price of a horse is not the twenty or thirty taels in the north, but fifty or sixty taels for a medium-sized horse.
A hundred taels of good horses. The three hundred horses of the Gao family all seem to be good horses. So these three hundred war horses alone are worth thirty thousand taels of silver! Liuzhou Mansion lasted eight years from the first year of Wanli to the eighth year of Wanli.
The land tax paid during that time was just over 30,000 taels!
I'm holding your mother in my mouth. Hey, are you here to show off your wealth?
But when they dismount, what they show off is not their wealth, but their military discipline.
Ni Zhonghua is also a veteran soldier. He even fought with General Yu in the past (Yu Dayou led troops to Guangxi to quell rebellions many times when he was the commander-in-chief of Guangdong), but he didn't see clearly how these servants could do it with twenty or thirty.
All three hundred horses were guarded aside, while the other two hundred or so people casually formed two or three long queues on the left and right, allowing Gao to pass by with his hands pointed at the horses.
Jiang Xin and others were surprised that Gao Pragmatic came on horseback. Although the rule that during the Hongwu and Yongle years the censors could only ride donkeys when visiting places, there were not many censors actually going out on patrols.
I would choose to ride a horse. We are all Jinshi masters who were born in Jindian Chuanlu. If we ride a horse, of course we will sit in a sedan chair!
A dignified patrol officer in a province, so awesome that even the governor and governor take part in whatever they say. Isn’t it natural to sit in a sedan chair?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What, you mean level?
Haha, where did you come from, a country bumpkin, talking about rank with the inspector? Look at the second-grade chief envoy. If the inspector is in a bad mood and doesn't say please sit down, he has to stand in front of the inspector.
Listen to the training! Grade?
Jiang Xin is the deputy envoy of the branch guard. In theory, this position is an official under the inspection department. The deputy envoy is the deputy envoy of the inspection department. If he is stationed in a certain place, he is the dispatcher. The inspection envoys are all under the supervision of the patrol inspector. The deputy envoy
Not to mention, as soon as Gao pragmatic came over and before he got off his horse, Jiang Xin led a large group of people to greet him and bowed down to him.
"The lower official is divided into Jiangyou Guan Liuzhou Qingyuan Si'en Deputy Envoy Jiang Xin and others, see the press station!"
A group of officials behind him saluted in unison and shouted: "See the ceremony!"
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: It would be great if the soldiers under your command were as neatly organized as you saw the superior officer.
But on his face, he said calmly: "You are so polite, please forgive me." After saying that, he turned over casually and jumped off the horse, which shocked all the officials so much that they almost didn't jump up.
My security guard, please take it easy. This tall horse under your crotch is no joke. It will be very serious if it falls!
It had been less than ten days since Gao Pangshi came to Guangxi, but the patrol arrangements had already been put in place, and mainly because he was in an emergency and had no time to nag with them, so he waved his hand directly and said: "The ceremony has been cancelled, and I will go to the procuratorate to speak."
Jiang Xin and others knew Gao Wushi's origins - there was nothing we could do about it. Even if the minions below him didn't know Gao Wushi's current name, how could officials like them not know it? So seeing his somewhat arrogant appearance,
I didn't think it was strange, but thought it was normal. Even though Gao Zhizhi casually glanced at the guard of honor and said he wanted to withdraw, there was nothing he could do about it. He just had the qualifications to be so awesome!
Jiang Xin turned around and waved his hand, and naturally someone took care of him immediately. He himself greeted him politely and said: "Gao Zhizhi is dedicated to serving the public good and refuses to delay in the slightest. He is really a role model for us, and I admire him very much."
Liu Qingshen's general Ni Zhonghua had no bottom line. He ran up behind Gao Jingshi and grabbed the reins of Gao Jingshi's mount. He said with a smile on his face: "I will lead the horse for you."
Gao Pragmatic didn't know what to say, so he could only nod "Yeah" in the end.
When Ni Zhonghua saw that he had agreed, he was extremely excited. He held the reins of Gao Jingshi's millet-colored war horse and walked behind Gao Jingshi's house, with his belly raised, his chest raised, and his chin slightly raised, as if he had just returned triumphantly from a great victory.
