Chapter 994 The Governor and the Guard

The urgent alert from Pu Yuanyi, commander of the Haizhou Guard, was sent to Liaoyang, and the two sealed letters were sent to the Liaodong Fuyuan and Prisonyuan.

The Fuyuan is the Governor's Yamen, and the Supervisory Yuan is obviously not the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Metropolitan Procuratorate, including the yamen that patrols the censors, is called the Procuratorate, and the Supervisory Yuan is the yamen that guards the eunuchs.

The Fuyuan in Liaodong is well built, but it is only a style, the decoration is not exquisite, the screen wall is only ordinary material, and there are not even a few flowers in the small flower garden. Generally speaking, compared with the soldiers in Gaizhou The constitutional yamen is larger in scale.

Zhou Yong, the governor of Liaodong, was just woken up by his servant, and he came to wait in the flower hall, drinking a cup of strong tea.

Judging from his deeply furrowed brows, Zhou Futai was obviously in a bad mood, so the servants all avoided him, and there was only one housekeeper at the door, who opened his mouth and yawned silently.

Not long after, a servant brought in a man with a lantern. The man was thin and not tall, walking in a hurry, with his head bowed and his hands behind his back.

When the housekeeper saw the man, he immediately turned around and knocked on the door lightly, and said, "Master, Han Zhenshou is here."

Zhou Yong's simple "um" came from inside, followed by the sound of a chair being slightly pushed. Presumably Zhou Yong got up from the back of the desk and pushed the chair back.

The door opened, and Zhou Yong appeared with a sullen face. The thin and small man showed his true face. He was a middle-aged man in his forties with a white face and no beard.Seeing Zhou Yong, he cupped his hands and said, "Zhou Junmen came looking for our house, but for the matter of Liaonan?"

The governor has many elegant titles, such as Futai, Fujun, Junmen, Zhongcheng, Sixian, Duxian, etc., but he called Zhou Yong Junmen as soon as he opened his mouth, which obviously meant something.

Zhou Yong cupped his hands to return the salute, nodded and said: "Han Zhenshou, it's very impolite to invite you at night from the headquarters. Please also guard Haihan... This is not a place to talk, please come in as the guard, let's talk inside."

When the two entered the flower hall, the housekeeper naturally went to serve tea first. After the etiquette was completed, the housekeeper went out to guard, and Zhou Yong sighed and said, "The guard also received an urgent report from Haizhou?"

Han Guang nodded solemnly, and said, "A hundred households came to deliver a letter in person, saying that Tumen and the Chaohua coalition force of more than [-] riders suddenly went south, and they have arrived at the north of the Liao River, across the river from Dongchang Fort."

Zhou Yong nodded, but his face was sullen, and he didn't speak immediately.

Han Guang frowned and said, "Junmen doesn't seem to be in a hurry? Could it be that they already have a plan in mind?"

"Don't hide from the guard, no." Zhou Yong shook his head lightly.

Han Guang's face changed slightly, and his eyes flickered: "The governor of the military gate in Liaodong is in charge of military affairs. If something happens in southern Liaoning, the trouble of the military gate will be much bigger than our family."

"That's natural." Zhou Yong smiled instead, and said: "What happened in Liaonan actually has little to do with Han Zhenshou, unless something happened to Gao Qiuzhen, then it is possible for Zhenshou... It's hard to explain. "

Han Guang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Ming people don't speak dark words in front of Ming people. If something happens to Gao Longwen, I'm afraid Han can just say something bad here. But then again, if something happens to Gao Longwen, I'm afraid you are really hard to explain, Junmen?"

Zhou Yong laughed, waved his hands, and said, "Gao and Guo Ergong are my two generations of benefactors, and Jin Yuanfu Zhang Gongfengpan is my room teacher... I can't let Qiuzhen have an accident. This point, Han Zhenshou There is no need to have the slightest doubt."

Zhou Yong was on the gold list in the 41st year of Jiajing. At that time, he could do well in the exam, ranking 180th and fourth, but he did not do well in the imperial examination. In the end, he was ranked seventh in the top three of Jinshi. Zhang Siwei, one of the examiners.

The 41st year of Jiajing's Renxu Branch Gold List is the top three list of Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, and Yu Youding. The deputy is Gao Gong, the servant.

The lineup of examiners under the two of them is also very strong, such as Wang Xilie and Zhang Siwei who were the editors of the Imperial Academy at that time, Ma Ziqiang who was the reviewer of the Imperial Academy at the time, Feng Menglong who was in charge of the matter at the time, and others are all on the list.

And Zhou Yong's room teacher happened to be Zhang Siwei, so if he turned around, Zhou Yong could barely call Gao Wushi "Brother", and Gao Wushi could barely call Zhou Yong a senior brother.

By the way, as a digression, in the original history, Zhang Siwei was impeached just after Ding You, and Zhou Yong was immediately dismissed from his post as governor of Jiliao. This also shows the relationship between the two and Zhou Yong's faction.

As for Zhou Yong's saying that Gao and Guo Ergong are his benefactors, there is no need to explain this. Gao Gong himself is the Zhigong Juguan of his subject. The relationship between Gao Gong and Guo Pu as the township party—of course, this was secondary in the early days, and the more important thing was that he was Zhang Siwei's student.

Since he is Zhang Siwei's protégé, and now Zhang Siwei's nephew is in southern Liaoning, how dare he, Zhou Yong, let the situation in southern Liaoning get out of hand and trap this "brother" who is turning a corner?
So, when he said this, Han Guang's expression became much better. He nodded and said, "It would be great if the military sect can understand the relationship. To tell the truth from the military sect, our family doesn't understand wars." , our family only knows that Gao Longwen is in the emperor's heart, that's it!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his right thumb and gestured vigorously.

Then he said indifferently: "So, if anyone dares to be careless about Gao Longwen's issue, no matter whether he is the deputy chief soldier or an uncle, our family believes that he will not last long."

This is interesting, father-in-law, which deputy commander-in-chief and uncle are you talking about?

But Zhou Yong just smiled, and changed the topic, saying: "The four guards of Liaonan, speaking of them, have a lot of troops, but firstly, they are scattered too widely, and secondly, the number of actual personnel is quite difficult to predict... "

Han Guang waved his hand and said, "We don't ask these things. We just want to know if Liaoyang can send reinforcements, and if so, how many, who will lead the troops, and when will they be sent?"

This is a bit impolite, it seems a bit similar to "I don't care about that, I will do what I want".

However, Zhou Yong can understand Han Guang's anxiety. After all, Chen Ju is behind Han Guang, and Chen Ju... is one of Gao Yushi's right-hand men in the palace. It's not surprising to call Han Guang back and find a reason to kill him.

The "level difference" among eunuchs is stricter than that of civil servants and military generals. For example, Han Guang can be very beautiful in Liaodong, but if he meets Chen Ju, he has to respectfully kowtow and call him godfather.

This "godfather" is not comparable to the godfathers of later generations. In the Ming Dynasty, filial piety was highly respected, and fathers could almost be said to have the right to life and death over their sons.

Back then when Zhang Wenming ran amok in his hometown, Zhang Juzheng received numerous accusations from his colleagues and officials, so he could only reply with a bunch of nonsense, and then expressed his helplessness... I really can't help it, he is my father.

There is also a similar custom in the inner court. When you worship your godfather, you have to treat the godfather as if you were your own father. If he is unhappy, he will scold you if he scolds you, and beat you if he beats you. Those who are sons can only suffer, and even the emperor will not care about this.

So Zhou Yong didn't get angry because of Han Guang's words, but said calmly: "Don't worry about Han Zhenshou, the headquarters invites you here just to send troops to help... If I'm alone, I will order Qin Deyi to send troops to the south , although he doesn't dare to disobey orders, he may push back and forth, but if there are guards who come forward at the same time, he must not dare to do this."

Han Guang nodded and said, "This is easy to handle. As long as it is to dispatch troops as soon as possible, Qin Deyi's family will naturally have a way to make him obedient."
