Chapter 316 Serious loyalty to the National Railway Supervisor
Chapter 316 Loyalty to serve the country and the Iron Supervisor
"We definitely can't go back where Wang Ziyong. Even if Wang Ziyong ignores his past grudges, I still don't want to lower my head! In this way, only Gao Yingxiang from Nanyang is just that Niu Jinxing."
Speaking of Niu Jinxing, Zhang Xianzhong frowned. He had attacked Yuci before, but Niu Jinxing instigated him, and later he found out that he had been used by Niu Jinxing. In anger, he directly wrote a book and scolded Niu Jinxing, wishing he could chop Niu Jinxing up and feed it to the dog. In this case, it was very difficult for him to surrender to Gao Yingxiang.
Gao Yingxiang has now captured Nanyang Prefecture and most of Ruzhou Prefecture. He is in full swing. Will he completely break up with Wang Ziyong for the sake of Zhang Xianzhong?
Gao Yingxiang and Wang Ziyong had conflicts, but it was hard to imagine that Gao Yingxiang would do something to stimulate Wang Ziyong in a good situation because it was unnecessary.
So, if you want to surrender to Gao Yingxiang, someone must say good things. That person must have a certain status and right to speak around Gao Yingxiang, because Gao Yingxiang is too lazy to pay attention to ordinary people's words.
There were only a few people around Gao Yingxiang who could really speak, Li Zicheng and Li Yangchun, and the one left was Niu Jinxing. After thinking for a long time, the hope fell on Niu Jinxing, because he had dealt with Niu Jinxing.
I was scolded so ruthlessly before, would Niu Jinxing help?
Liu Wenxiu knew about the holiday between Zhang Xianzhong and Niu Jinxing, so he naturally knew what Zhang Xianzhong was worried about. "Enjoyed father, you don't have to worry about this. We know that Niu Jinxing has too many secrets, which is a bad thing, and it is also a good thing. I believe Gao Yingxiang didn't know about the things that happened before, or even the things that Jin Chan taught. If these things were heard in Gao Yingxiang's ears, do you think Gao Yingxiang can still tolerate Niu Jinxing?"
"The adoptive father is unsure of sending someone to find Niu Jinxing. If Niu Jinxing wants to survive, he must cooperate with us."
Zhang Xianzhong sat down and sighed, "I didn't expect that the matter of Niu Jinxing before has become a good thing now. If Niu Jinxing has the chance, he really wants to chop him up and feed him to the dog."
"Why should you be anxious about your adoptive father? People like Niu Jinxing think they are very smart, but they are actually extremely stupid. At that time, there will be no need for the adoptive father to take action, because there are too many people who want to kill him."
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xianzhong could only agree with Liu Wenxiu's opinion. For the time being, he could not find a more suitable candidate than Niu Jinxing. Li Yangchun and Li Zicheng had little friendship, but there was a bit of a rift. Zhang Xianzhong never dragged his mind when doing things. No matter what the matter was, as long as he made a decision, he would not frown when he did it.
A letter was sent to Nanyang Prefecture quickly, and at this time, Wang Ziyong finally sent troops to rush to Funiu Mountain. Both sides used Funiu Mountain Qingyang Temple as the dividing line and divided Funiu Mountain into two. Wang Ziyong occupied the east side and Zhang Xianzhong occupied the west side. The expected fierce battle did not happen. Both sides were guarding each other as agreed, but did not take the initiative to attack.
Mianchi, since Wang Ziyong fled to Funiu Mountain, Tiemo ordered the army to station in Mianchi to rest with peace of mind. Wang Ziyong and Zhang Xianzhong both entered Funiu Mountain, and there was no hope of trying to attack these two guys in a short period of time. Tiemo thought clearly that when he came to Henan, the most urgent thing was not to suppress bandits, but how to raise money and food. If the court does not provide military pay, it is impossible to fight for free. In half a year, even if he has no objection, the generals and soldiers under his command should have opinions.
It was already August. Although the south wind was coming, the weather in Henan was still as hot as a big stove. Wang Zuo was wearing a thin long gown and a bamboo fan in his right hand, but he became more and more irritable. "This ghost weather is so thrilling that the bandits are still very noisy. I guess there will be many casualties in Ruzhou. If the battlefield is not cleaned in time, it may be a plague."
"Mr. Wang, please stop being idle. We can't care about Ruzhou's affairs for the time being. You, let's first think about how to deal with those people in Luoyang!" Tie Mo rolled his eyes to Wang Zuogao very simply. He was really worried about eating carrots.
Wang Zuoguai naturally didn't take it seriously, but turned his head, took a sip of herbal tea, and asked leisurely: "Supervisor, I asked you before if you have any good plans to get money and food? You are mysterious and don't say it. Now that you have arrived in Henan, you don't have to hide it, right? You are not going to ask your subordinates to go to Luoyang and Kaifeng to get money, right?"
"Haha, I hope this is the key. The key is how much do you think we can do here? Don't think that the bandits will fight Henan and want these people to pay for it, it's not that easy. So, if you don't want to find this, you'll have to talk about money and food, it's still the southern Zhili Jiangnan!"
Speaking of Jiangnan, Tiemo's eyes began to shine. Luoyang was richest in the world. Compared with Jiangnan, Luoyang was nothing. In the late Ming Dynasty, when it came to be rich, the gentry of Jiangnan was the first to be promoted, and then the Shanxi merchants were the second to be given the turn. Chongzhen had promised himself to have the right to act cheaply and make the decision on the money. Such a good opportunity, if he didn't take Jiangnan well, he would be sorry for himself.
Wang Zuogao was stunned for a moment, and even forgot to slap the fan. After a while, he smiled bitterly: "Supervisor, you just said that your subordinates were fantastic. Aren't you the same bold idea? Jiangnan is very rich, but how can we accept it?"
"Hmph, as far as I know, Jiangnan still owes the imperial court 26 million taels of tax silver. Is this supervisor asking Jiangnan for money? Of course they are unwilling to give it, but what if the bandits defeat the soldiers stationed in Runing Prefecture and the troops are coming to Luzhou Prefecture? The bandits break into Nanzhili, hey, I don't believe that those people are not panicked. At that time, in order to protect the foundation of Jiangnan, they will have to give it to them!"
Tie Mo waved his fist confidently, as if the bandits had hit Runing Mansion. Wang Zuogu's heartbeat accelerated sharply. He was stunned for a while and said with a wry smile: "Supervisor, don't forget that the Southern Zhili party transferred all the troops and horses of Jiangzhou and Ningguo Mansion to Runing Mansion to prevent the bandits from entering the territory of Nanzhili through Runing Mansion. There were nearly 70,000 people. How easy was the bandits to defeat them? Besides, so far, the bandits have no intention of going to Nanzhili at all. Gao Yingxiang's troops are showing their power in Ruzhou."
"It's not available for the time being. We can let the bandits change their direction to Nanzhili. How great is Nanzhili? It's a lot of flowers, countless wealth, and beautiful people are like water. I don't believe that the bandits are not moved. It doesn't matter if I can't defeat the army of Nanzhili. We can help. Our supervisor gave them a chance to go to Nanzhili. If Gao Yingxiang still can't grasp it, then he is a pig. Even if Gao Yingxiang is useless, then Li Zicheng and Li Yangchun are not easy people."
Gradually, Wang Zuoguai was stunned by Tie Mo's bold idea. The Supervisor was really bold and had such a terrible idea. He was not afraid that once the bandits poured into Luzhou Prefecture, the situation would be difficult to deal with?
"Supervisor, your idea is pretty good, but have you ever thought that if the bandits pour into Nanzhili and are out of control, something big will happen. You are the governor of the three provinces, and you are responsible for the defense of Nanzhili!"
"What's that?" Tie Mo rolled his eyes and curled his lips contemptuously, "It's said that it's the governor of the three provinces. In fact, the only one acre of three-point land in Shanxi can be managed by this commander. This is still based on the influence of General Man and Shanxi merchants. As for Henan and Nanzhili, when did they really take this commander seriously? People didn't take me seriously, why should we worry too much? Nanzhili is really in chaos, so let's be chaos. Does it have to do anything to us? We just need to defend Fengyang Mansion and look at the situation. If someone is held accountable afterwards, it's nothing. At worst, the governor of the three provinces will stop working. Let's go back to Yun Mansion to continue to be the king of the grass-heads. As for the bandit suppression, whoever is willing to do it!"
Wang Zuogao stroked his forehead, not knowing what to say for a moment. Listen to what this is called? Is this what a governor of the three provinces supposed to say? Those who don’t know thought it was a scoundrel. Look at the character of the supervisor, isn’t he just a scoundrel? Not to mention, maybe it really works. Now everyone knows that the mess in Henan is not easy to clean up, and it may just cause trouble. The supervisor wants to say that the burden is not taken, and other people really dare not resist this bad thing. Of course, there are some guys who are not afraid of things and dare to take on things, such as Sun Chuanting and others. But even if Sun Chuanting wants to take on it, they don’t have the strength.
The forces in Henan and Southern Zhili are complicated, and people like the Supervisor have to restrain themselves when they come here, so others can't play with it.
Patting Wang Zuohang's shoulder, Tie Mo smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, you don't need to care about the opinions of those people from now on. You just need to remember one thing, we only need to be responsible to Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty has no objection, what others like to say."
Wang Zuogao nodded without comment, pointed to the east, and whispered: "So, the only place where the supervisor really defends is Fengyang Mansion? Other places depend on their mood?"
"Haha, those who know me are sir!"
Tie Mo really planned this way. Is the little troops under his command so big in Henan? The other troops may not be able to command, but also have to take into account the money and money. His energy is limited, so I can only do it first. In short, something can happen, but there can be no accident in Fengyang Mansion. If something happens to Fengyang Mansion, Chongzhen will have to get angry even if he can tolerate it.
On August 11, 2018, the Xuanfu army, which had completed rest and recuperation, finally continued to set off and followed the official road east of Luanshan to Luoyang. At that time, Henan Prefect Yu Chenglong led Henan officials out of the city to greet him. It seemed very grand, but in fact Yu Chenglong was forced to do so. To be honest, it might not be necessary, everything was forced by the situation.
The war in Ruzhou became worse and worse. The soldiers of Nanzhili guarded the mall and Gushi area and said they would not send troops to support Ruzhou Prefecture. Yu Chenglong and Min Zhengyuan were looking forward to the stars and the moon, so they were looking forward to the reinforcements coming quickly.
A few days ago, the Xuanfu army finally arrived, but was blocked by the bandits in the river beach. The officials in Henan could only sigh in the sky. Fortunately, after repelling the bandits, the army entered Mianchi and Hangu Pass. They wanted to quickly join the battlefield in Henan, but they started to rest in Mianchi. Yu Chenglong was very anxious and urged him to write a book, but the Iron Supervisor said that the troops were tired and had to rest, so he sighed.
Yu Chenglong knew that this was someone who expressed dissatisfaction. The army crossed the Yellow River and fought with the bandits in Maojin. Henan Prefecture did not send out any soldiers. It was originally a helping Henan to suppress the bandits, but it was a hard battle. Even if Henan did not send reinforcements, it would not even show it. Even if the Buddha was angry, he would be angry.
In short, the Iron Supervisor was angry, so Yu Chenglong could only bear it. So, the Xuanfu soldiers came to Luoyang, and he had to pull everyone to meet him with a smile. There was no way, and the person had to bow his head under the eaves.
When the two sides met, there was a hint of greeting. Tie Mo and Yu Chenglong walked side by side. Yu Chenglong bent slightly, looking harmonious.
When I walked to the south gate of Luoyang and looked at this ancient city, I felt a lot of emotion. The endless years left behind the vicissitudes of history. On the walls, every brick and tile was soaked with the blood of history. Close your eyes, you could vaguely hear the sound of golden spears from ancient times.
Tiemo stopped at the south gate, and Yu Chenglong reminded him: "Supervisor, please move to the government office so that we can spend all the friendship of the landlords."
"Thank you Lord Yu for your kindness." Tie Mo smiled, suddenly his expression changed, and he whispered: "I want to confirm with Lord Yu. A few days ago, General Ding privately dispatched troops to Hangu Pass. I heard that someone was going to report to the court to hold General Ding and others accountable?"
"Ah?" Tie Mo asked too suddenly. Yu Chenglong instinctively said, and even he himself didn't know whether to admit it or deny it. Seeing the coldness in Tie Mo's eyes, he felt a little shocked and was about to deny it, but before he could speak, Tie Mo had already looked at another person.
"Mr. Lin Jingzelin, I wonder if this supervisor is wrong?"
Facing Tiemo's sharp gaze, a middle-aged man in a red official robe was slightly stunned. This person was Lin Jingze, the right governor of Henan. At this moment, Lin Jingze felt that his body was cold all over the country. It was hot and he felt a chill on his back.
Before Ding Luyan sent troops to rescue, Lin Jingze was unhappy and then gathered a group of people to write a letter to impeach Ding Luyan. But unexpectedly, after Tie Mo arrived in Luoyang, the first thing he asked about was this.
Now in front of everyone, dozens of eyes were watching. Even though Lin Jingze was afraid, he had to bite the bullet and admit: "There is indeed such a matter. General Ding privately dispatched troops to Hangu Pass and put Hangu Pass in danger. If he did not ask this matter, what is the court's laws?"
As soon as Lin Jingze said this, the inspector Zhou Yi became a little anxious. Lin Jingze's temper is still as bad as the stones in the pit. It's time to accept it. Can't I take it soft? Tie Moming is trying to find fault and hit it up. What are you trying to do?
