Chapter 425: The Arrogant Middle Two Youth
Li Zicheng arrived in Tongguan the next morning.
In terms of strategy, he may not be as sharp as Liu Zongmin, but in terms of general trend, Li Zicheng's vision and foresight are much higher than Liu Zongmin, which is also a necessary quality for the leader.
At this time, tens of thousands of migrant troops advanced eastward to Shanxi, which seemed to be a huge momentum, but to put it bluntly, this is just a test. Most of them are cannon fodder, and they take advantage of it and leave without it. If they encounter a ruthless person, they will naturally run away quickly.
But this is definitely different in Tongguan!
Once there is a problem with Tongguan, the world-famous model army can directly plunder into the hinterland of Qinchuan!
Li Zicheng put his head on his belt. He has been desperate for so many years and blinded one, and his wife has run away several times. What is the purpose?
How could something happen to the foundation that has just been consolidated!
However, the Model Army has a very large formation, but it has not taken the initiative to attack, which really makes Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin a little puzzled.
It was not until two days later that the main force of the refugee army advancing east had broken through several county towns and fought to Pingyang Prefecture that they learned that the court was going to send a military supervisor to Xu Changqing's army.
"Hehe, it's so good, it's so good. It's the first time I like dogs so much, and I actually helped us so much! Hehe, let them bite the dog. With these military supervisors, Xu Changqing was originally very strong, and at most it would be good to use six or seven percent."
In the Tongguan official hall, Li Shuangxi, whose injuries were almost healed, almost jumped up and danced with his hands and feet when he heard this.
"quiet!"
"I don't even see what occasion this is? Do you dare to make such a fool of yourself in front of the emperor?"
Li Guo's injuries were almost healed, and he was so busy that he scolded him coldly.
"Uh, it's..."
Only then did Li Shuangxi realize that their emperor Li Zicheng was still there, so he hurriedly put away his excitement, as well-behaved as a kitten.
Li Zicheng smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not in the court at this time, but in the army, and there is no need for too many rules."
As he said that, he glanced at the generals around him: "My dear friends, what do you think about this?"
Since the establishment of the Xijing system, Li Zicheng's cunning has become much deeper. He has no descendants yet and has not really established an heir correctly. However, there are such intentions in both open and secret, and he wants to push Li Guo out.
He also vigorously promoted the extremely impactful young players like Li Shuangxi and Li Laiheng.
Song Xiance said: "Shuangxi is right. The Ming court's successive defeats over the years have a lot to do with its cumbersome system. Xu Changqing is now even called a traitor. Haha, this is not something that ordinary people can afford. Emperor, I think that as long as our rebel army fights steadily, we can have a 90% chance of winning!"
Niu Jinxing also hurriedly said: "The emperor, the saint, is the right time, place and people. At this time, the right time, place and people are all in my great harmony, and they are all in my righteous army. Even if Xu Changqing has the ability to soar to the sky, this battle will surely be in my Tongguan."
Others also agreed, and the atmosphere in the venue was relaxed and freehand.
Even Li Zicheng couldn't help but relax. However, he soon saw Liu Zongmin's frown and said without saying anything, "Wu Hou, what do you think?"
Liu Zongmin took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, what everyone said is not bad. However, Xu Changqing is really cruel and ruthless, and he is very likely to be disobedient! It is probably difficult for a mere military supervisor to have any impact on him. We must be more careful."
...
On August 27, the 16th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, it is advisable to marry and break the ground.
Three or four days later than Xu Changqing expected, the imperial military supervisor finally arrived.
At this time, the main force of the northern line of the refugee army had already conquered Pingyang Prefecture, heading northward, and approaching the thousand-year-old city of Taiyuan.
The military supervisor who came here this time was nothing but Xu Changqing's old man
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Acquaintance, Song Jin's military supervisor Zhang Ruoqi!
The three scholars who came with Zhang Ruoqi, one from Hejian, named Zhang Qingchuan, two from Jiangnan, one from Zhou, named Zhou Kunpeng, was the son of a wealthy merchant in Huzhou, and had a generation of Jinshi, with a profound background. The other came from Yangzhou, Mao Xiang and Mao Pijiang, one of the famous four sons of Fushe!
Without Xu Changqing's expectations, several major wars were launched in Beijing for the quota of the military supervisor and the scholars.
It was not Zhang Ruoqi's turn, but the factions were quarreling and others had no experience. Zhang Ruoqi took advantage of this.
Mao Pijiang is almost the same. He happened to have something to do in the capital, and with his name, he picked up this "cheap".
Zhang Qingchuan and Zhou Kunpeng both used great efforts to push them up with all their might. Therefore, these two passionate young men, who were both middle-aged and middle-aged, were ready to fight against Xu Changqing.
"Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for many years, and your style is even more prosperous."
By the Yellow River, Xu Changqing also gave these military supervisors enough face and set up a huge ceremonial guard with thousands of people to welcome Zhang Ruoqi and his group.
Zhang Ruoqi has not been very successful in recent years, and his edges have been smoothed out, and he has become more restrained and calm. He hurriedly bowed respectfully and smiled: "Brother, you are the more prosperous in the past. It is a great honor for the official to be able to work with him again."
After seeing Zhang Ruoqi, Xu Changqing came over with a smile. He was about to greet Zhang Qingchuan and the other two, but Zhang Qingchuan, who had been accused of a long time, suddenly sneered, took a step forward, looked righteous and said aloud: "Brother Zhongyi, do you know your guilt?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was in an uproar.
In a blink of an eye, the whole world fell into a frozen silence.
Countless straight men on both sides touched the handle of the knife.
"Jietang, don't talk nonsense, why don't you apologize to your uncle!"
Zhang Ruoqi had known for a long time that this trip would definitely not be peaceful, but he didn't expect that Zhang Qingchuan was so stunned and ignorant. He dared to confront Xu Changqing so blatantly and openly, and quickly shook his eyes and told him to admit his mistake immediately.
Zhang Qingchuan didn’t know Xu Changqing’s foundation and means, how could he, Zhang Ruoqi, not know?
"Oh."
Zhang Qingchuan sneered, glanced at Zhang Ruoqi contemptuously, then stared at Xu Changqing like a wolf or a tiger, and said with great righteousness: "Xu Changqing, as a noble descendant of the Ming Dynasty, you have been well-behaved as the emperor, but you are outside Tongguan. You have been stationed for almost a month, allowing the main force of the bandits to attack the hinterland of Shanxi, and the people are suffering from misfortune, but there is no action! What is your intention? You dare to say that you are not guilty!"
Zhang Qingchuan's calves were actually a little weak at this time, especially the eyes of the men around him, who were almost swallowing him alive.
But under this nervousness, there is excitement that cannot be expressed in words.
In front of me, Xu Changqing, the eldest uncle of Zhongyi, and in front of so many people... I guess, as long as I can withstand the news, the news will reach the capital in the evening, right?
When he thinks of his charm, he will soon be circulated in the capital, admired by countless people, and then become the leader of the Shilin. Zhang Qingchuan felt that he had already put life and death aside, and was the pillar of the country, the pillar of the court, and the hero of the nation!
Seeing Zhang Qingchuan so majestic, Zhou Kunpeng, who is also a middle-aged young man, couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said coldly: "Xu Changqing, we are not only going to come to supervise the army, but also punish you! Your Xu family has received the kindness of my Great Ming Emperor and the whole family is loyal and wise, but what do you want to do when you are here? Do you know that it is because of your own military responsibilities that the situation continues to collapse and countless people are displaced. What should you blame?!"
"Stop, why not stop!"
Zhang Ruoqi could no longer bear it and wanted to slap these two middle-aged young men who were ignorant of life and death. But after thinking about it, he seemed that he could not beat these two young men.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing, and expressed his attitude with a sad face: "Master, I'm really a sin..."
"hehe."
Not only was Xu Changqing not angry, but was amused by these two live treasures, but he ignored it for a moment. Instead, he looked at Mao Pijiang, whose face was flushed with a little flushed, and said with a smile: "Brother Mao, they all criticized me Xu Changqing like this. As a senior, don't you set an example?"
"this……"
Mao Pijiang was speechless.
Unlike Zhang Qingchuan and Zhou Kunpeng who were in his early twenties, Mao Pijiang had already passed his thirties and was in his thirties. In recent years, although he was famous, his career has been unsuccessful and he has never been on the road. This made him not comparable to Zhang Qingchuan and Zhou Kunpeng, who had a golden spoon in his heart, scheming, or social experience.
Moreover, it was completely unexpected that he was arrested as a military supervisor. He remembered the beautiful Dong Xiaowan who was still waiting for him in his hometown in Taizhou, and the countless notorious names of Xu Changqing that were circulating among the people. Even though Mao Pijiang was a little passionate, how could he dare to provoke Xu Changqing, who was as huge as a mountain in person?
After a while, he bowed his body humbly and lowered his head: "Brother, you, you were joking... Students, although the students were young and frivolous, they did a lot of confusing things, but over the years, the students have also figured out a lot... Since you are not sending troops at this time, you must have your reasons..."
"Hahahahahahahaha..."
Xu Changqing laughed: "What a pity, what a pity!"
"Brother Mao, why have you been betrayed? Let's agree to go to the underworld together!"
Zhang Qingchuan's eyes suddenly became scattered, and he wanted to eat Mao Pijiang's flesh and blood raw.
"Brother Mao, do you still have the backbone? Are you still a disciple of a saint? I didn't expect that you are such useless and messy bones. It really makes us scholars lose face!"
Zhou Kunpeng also cursed.
Mao Pijiang moved his lips, but ignored them and bowed to Xu Changqing even more humbly.
Wang Chengen hurriedly said to Xi Ni: "Changqing, you, don't be as knowledgeable as these two young people, they are too young..."
As he said that, he looked at Zhang Qingchuan and the others with a fierce look: "You two are still standing stupidly? Why don't you apologize to uncle!"
"snort!"
Zhang Qingchuan and Zhou Kunpeng only looked at the clothes, but they knew Wang Chengen's identity, but ignored them and continued to raise their necks proudly.
So what if you are a mere eunuch, even if you are close ministers of the emperor, don’t want them to bow their heads!
The eunuch party has been dead for many years.
"You, you..."
The two of them were proud and instantly stinged Wang Chengen's sensitive self-esteem.
What are eunuchs most afraid of?
I'm afraid of other people's strange vision!
But at this time, the two young men did not hide their concealment at all, and they looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Prince, please calm down first."
Seeing that Wang Chengen was about to faint, Xu Changqing and Wang Pu hurriedly supported Wang Chengen carefully.
Wang Chengen's face turned pale, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak and he was trembling.
He gave Wang Pu a wink and asked Wang Pu to take good care of Wang Chengen. Xu Changqing smiled and came to the two middle-aged and second-year-old young men: "You two, today, are you going to talk to me Xu Changqing?"
"snort!"
Zhang Qingchuan sneered: "Xu Changqing, don't scare us! What the hell is in your heart, you know yourself! Sooner or later, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame, become a sinner of my Ming Dynasty, and be judged by history!"
