Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 275 Observing Government by Order ([-])
When the imperial envoy met with the border ministers, one side had the power of improvisation and the other had the duty of guarding the border, it was obvious that some courteous greetings were necessary.

In front of all the officials, Gao Yushi still gave face to the imperial decree. Except for polite words, he didn't mention a word of other serious matters. Listen to" look.

However, if people in the officialdom need others to explain everything, it would be too incompetent. In fact, there are many things that don’t need to be spoken at all-observing words and emotions is one of the basic skills in officialdom. Who is not an expert in this field? hand?
Therefore, although Gao Yushi didn't say a word when listening to their conversation, everyone still found the answer they wanted from his demeanor.Of course, this is what Gao Pragmatism deliberately showed them.

Gao Yushi expressed three meanings in total: one is that I and the people I represent are all in favor of asking Hannaji to surrender; If you pay attention, you must personally inspect it; the third is that I will meet with Bahan Najib once.

Of these three meanings, only the first one is completely good news for the Xuanda officials.

The third item is just a little troublesome. After all, the governor and the governor are both present, so this responsibility can still be shouldered. Moreover, Han Naji will be put under surveillance in a mansion with gourmet food, which is Gao Yushi’s first proposal. Well, it's normal for him to come to see him in person, besides, it's hard to say whether the two masters in the palace have any intentions here.Even if it wasn't what the two masters meant, even if it was what Gao Gong meant, it would be shameless for us to stop it.

The most troublesome thing is the second one.It stands to reason that when you usually inspect the defense, you usually divide the guests and hosts in the city of Datong, and everyone takes out the map to make gestures, how many soldiers are placed here, how many soldiers are placed there, and then start to talk about "excellent equipment, sufficient food and wages" Such nonsense is over.Occasionally, a shrewd imperial envoy may quietly leave a little talk - while boasting, he will make a little "well-intentioned criticism" of some inconspicuous parts.

This criticism is not just for show, but if there is a problem with the defense in the future, the imperial envoy can use this to show his innocence to his superiors: You see, Your Majesty, it is not that the minister has not raised questions, it is true that the ministers and generals put the minister If your words fall on your ears, this humble official has been wronged!

And the ministers and generals will not take this as a big deal. Everyone can understand the imperial envoy's move to leave a way out for himself. As long as the imperial envoy doesn't get mad on the spot, or just write the impeachment memorial, everything will be fine. manage.

But the high-practical way of doing things is more troublesome. If you say he overstepped his authority, he did not overstep his authority. People just look at it and don’t accuse them of anything. How could they overstep their authority? ?
But the Northern Army's ordnance has always been a big problem. Everyone knows about this matter. Let Gao Yushi take a look, but you may not know how this young and proud old man will react.

Fang Fengshi is the most worried about this kind of worry, because he lacks the most understanding of Gao Yushi, so he is very worried about Gao Yushi's temper. ——Although Deputy Envoy Gao has no right to manage affairs, but when he sees something bad, he gets angry. Even if this matter is taken back to Beijing, it may not be unreasonable. At least Mr. Gao Ge will definitely be able to keep him.

Wang Chonggu was still calm, because he was Zhang Siwei's biological uncle, and Zhang Siwei mentioned many times in his letters to his family that he was highly pragmatic, mature and considerate.In addition, Wang Chonggu believed that with Gao Gong's ability, since he dared to let Gao Yushi come over, he must have his reasons, so Governor Wang is basically not worried about what will happen now, but he has nothing to do with Beijing's reaction after Gao Yushi returned to Beijing to report on his work grasp.

The ones with the widest hearts are Huang Mengyu, the guarding eunuch of Datong, and Ma Fang, the chief soldier of Datong. This Eunuch Huang was promoted by Meng Chong and Meng Zhanyin last year.Eunuch Huang had already made up his mind that the two imperial envoys had the final say on everything, and I, Lao Huang, just said that everything should be followed by the two imperial envoys.

Not to mention Ma Fang, Gao Wushi had already sent someone to explain the situation to him before he set off, so Ma Fang knew that the purpose of Gao Shi's visit here was to see how bad the Xuanda frontier army's weapons were, and then Find ways to help them improve and level up their equipment.

Ma Fang's request is actually not high, as long as he can refer to the standards of the Southern Army under Qi Jiguang's command--Speaking of which, the second town of Xuanda is really honest, if they know that in a few decades, the Ming Dynasty will go to Jiliao It is necessary to invest millions of dollars in salary, and it is impossible to count the supplies such as armaments. I am afraid that people like Lao Ma will crawl out of their graves and scold their mothers in anger.

Moreover, although Ma Fang has a side of sympathy for Qi Jiguang, she also has a side of dissatisfaction. According to the concept of Ma Fang and the Northern Army, although the extermination of the Japanese pirates is also a military exploit, that military exploit is very watery. After all, the Japanese pirates are just "bandits". level, and what is the North Prisoner?That is the remnant of Meng Yuan, the existence of an invincible opponent who fought all over the world back then!It was the Tumubao World War I that brought down almost the entire existence of the Daming nobles and vassals group!
And you, Qi Jiguang, have such a brilliant record in exterminating the Japanese pirates, when you came to the northern army, you didn't come to the whole army like you did in the south, did you?It can be seen that the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty are obviously stronger than the Japanese pirates by at least one grade.Not to mention that you, Qi Jiguang, are not facing the Tumochuan tribe, who is currently the strongest in Beilu!

Therefore, in Ma Fang's view, it is completely reasonable for Xuanda's equipment level to be raised to the same level as Qi Jiguang's Southern Army.

After finishing the polite words, we also talked about the serious matters that can be discussed in person, and Wang Chonggu arranged a banquet.Relying on his young age, Gao Wushi escaped the wine on the pretext of being tired from the journey, and took a step ahead with his own people.

The imperial envoy's travel was arranged by Wang Chonggu, and he was in command of the Si Yamen in Xingdu, Shanxi Province. Anyway, the power of this yamen has long been invaded by the governor, governor and other yamen. It has been so many years that there is nothing serious to do. Come out to stay temporarily with the imperial envoy.

But Gao Yushi was not in a real hurry to come to the imperial envoy Xingyuan to rest, he was here to wait for someone.

Before finishing a cup of strong tea, a family member came to report that Huang Mengyu, the eunuch guarding Datong, asked to see him.

Gao Wushi breathed a sigh of relief, and said that although Meng Chong, the great eunuch with palm prints, was of mediocre level, his ability in judging people was not bad. He doesn't look like that, but his eyesight is not bad, knowing that he didn't even go to the banquet just now, there must be something to understand, and he came over immediately, judging by his speed, he probably slipped in the middle of the banquet.
