I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 472 Nightmare
"Hmph, this group of damn moths really took advantage of them!"

Tan Lun said, and immediately put the official document in his hand aside, and began to deal with the remaining affairs.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Seeing this, Tan Lun had no choice but to temporarily put the writing brush in his hand back to its original position, and gave instructions.

"come in!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

As soon as the words were finished, Tan Lun's bodyguard came in and said respectfully.

"Governor, here is a letter from Xu Ge's trustee!"

Tan Lun couldn't help showing surprise on his face when he heard this, because he couldn't imagine that Xu Jie had a reason to write to him.

After a while, Tan Lun suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and then turned his gaze to the personal guard, and ordered.

"Well, bring the letter here!"

"Obey, my lord governor!"

After Tan Lun ordered, the bodyguard carefully took out the envelope from his arms, and handed it to Tan Lun respectfully.

After receiving the envelope from the bodyguard, Tan Lun waved his hand and gave orders.

"The letter has been received by the official, you can go down!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Seeing that his mission for this trip was successfully completed, the personal guard couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately responded.

When he left, he also took the door of the room behind him.

After the bodyguard left, Tan Lun was the only one left in the room. He turned his eyes away and looked at the envelope in his hand. On the envelope, there were four big characters of 'Zi Li Qin Qi'.

Tan Lun recognized at a glance that it was Xu Jie's handwriting, and the hesitation on his face became even more serious: "Why did Xu Jie choose to write to me at this time? Could it be? Is there something I need to do?" ?”

With such doubts in his mind, Tan Lun didn't think about it any further, and immediately opened the envelope in his hand, and began to browse the contents above, only to see what was written in the letter.

"Zili, how are you doing recently?"

"Not long ago, the shortage of food in Zhejiang caused a shock in the court. Brother Yu was also quite worried about this, but fortunately, with the help of you, the governor of Fujian, the local sang farmers in Zhejiang have turned the crisis into safety. Brother Yu is very pleased about this .”

"Brother Yu is very interested in the process, and I hope you can sort it out. Fortunately, Brother Yu is on His Majesty's side, and please credit for you."

After Tan Lun finished reading the last word in the letter, he couldn't help but sneered, and said to himself silently: "Xu Jie, Xu Jie, your skin is really thick!"

"The lack of food for local mulberry farmers in Zhejiang was caused by you alone. In the end, you still mentioned this matter in your letter hypocritically. It seems that His Majesty's evaluation of you earlier was absolutely correct!"

When Tan Lun was talking about this, he paused for a moment, and said coldly: "Xu Jie's villain, I will never use it. In my opinion, His Majesty shouldn't use you as a villain!"

The more Tan Lun thought about it, the more angry he became, and he casually threw the letter paper aside in his hand, and began to think about the next countermeasures.

"Xu Jie wrote this letter to me because he wanted to take this opportunity to find out about me."

"Therefore, I must not reveal any flaws, otherwise, even if His Majesty is protecting me, I will be entangled in endless troubles in the future, and I will no longer be able to serve Your Majesty well!"

"If that's the case, what kind of answer should I give Xu Jie?"

Tan Lun thought so, and immediately picked up the teacup beside him, and took a sip.

I don't know how long the time has passed, but Tan Lun came back to his senses, his eyes glistened, and he said in a deep voice, "Hmph, didn't you, Xu Jie, want me to sort out the whole process, then I'll have a showdown with you, you Go to His Majesty and ask about the process!"

Tan Lun thought so, and immediately spread out a pen and paper, and wrote this on the letter paper.

"Old Xu Ge, the letter you entrusted someone to send to the lower official, the lower official has already received it. The matter of grain allocation to Zhejiang is an order from His Majesty himself, and the lower official has nothing to do!"

After Tan Lun finished writing such a sentence, he hesitated for a moment, then picked up his pen and continued writing.

"In addition, it is worth mentioning that since all the local bandits in Fujian were wiped out, the life of the local people in Fujian has also reached the point where they can barely survive."

"In order to consolidate the existing achievements, I request you to persuade Your Majesty to appropriately extend the period for Fujian to pay less taxes on the original basis!"

Although Xu Jie is an out-and-out insect, Tan Lun still wants to take this opportunity to seek more benefits for the local people in Fujian.

After that, Tan Lun put the brush in his hand back to its original position, and after the ink on the letter paper was dry, he put it into the envelope.

Immediately, Tan Lun summoned his confidants and said, "Send this letter to Elder Xu Ge as soon as possible, do you understand?"

Hearing the words, the confidant immediately took the envelope from Tan Lun's hand and assured him.

"Yes, Lord Governor, the little one will definitely live up to your trust, and deliver the letter safely to Elder Xu Ge!"

After that, the confidant didn't stay too long, and immediately turned and left the room.

Looking at the back of the cronies leaving, Tan Lun couldn't help but think so.

"No, I have to tell His Majesty the whole matter, so that he can prepare for it!"

After making up his mind, Tan Lun immediately spread out the letter paper again. After grinding the ink, he just wrote on the letter paper with a brush dipped in ink.

"Your Majesty, not long ago, I received a letter from Xu Jie. In the letter, he asked Weichen about the whole story about the recent trip to Zhejiang to adjust grain."

"I have considered it again and again, and finally decided to inform Yu Xu Jie of your order to adjust the grain, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me!"

"Also, these days..."

Time passed so slowly, and after the last word fell, Tan Lun breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself.

"Huh~ I finally finished writing!"

After that, Tan Lun went through the contents of the letter from beginning to end. After confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions in it, he carefully put it in an envelope and called his cronies.

After the cronies arrived, Tan Lun was not in a hurry to hand over the envelope to him, but after looking it up and down, he gave a warning.

"Hand this letter into His Majesty's hands as soon as possible, without passing anyone's hands in between, understand?"

Seeing the serious expression on Tan Lun's face, the confidant immediately turned serious and said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, my lord, even if the little one takes this life, he must deliver the letter safely to His Majesty's hands!"

After getting the assurance from his cronies, Tan Lun's face showed a little relief, and he said unhurriedly.

"Well, you must pay more attention on the road and pay attention to safety!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After that, I saw the confidant showing gratitude, and immediately left the room without looking back.

Not long after, I saw this confidant riding the fast horse that had been prepared and galloping towards the next destination.

After sending two letters in succession, Tan Lun's hanging heart finally fell down. At this moment, he has no interest in continuing to deal with official duties.

Not long after, Tan Lun got up from the seat, opened the door immediately, walked through a long corridor, came to the yard, and began to admire the surrounding scenery.

Perhaps because he was bored, Tan Lun looked away and said with emotion: "Oh, Mr. Xu Ge, there is still time to rein in the precipice, and he has achieved the position of the cabinet's second assistant. Wouldn't it be good to do something practical for the common people?"

……

Since the cabinet issued a new notice last time, after a period of waiting, Governor Yang Xuan of Jiliao finally waited for Tumahan's arrival.

Obviously, both sides were caught off guard for this meeting. After all, who would have thought that the two people who met each other in battle not long ago would actually work together to quell the Chahar rebellion at this moment.

In view of the fact that there were still some rifts between the two parties before this, in order not to affect the overall situation, Yang Bo, Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of War, acted as the peacemaker to mediate the conflict between the two parties.

At this moment, in the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion.

Yang Xuan, governor of Jiliao, sat at the head, and Yang Bo, Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of War, sat opposite Tumahan.

"In order to quell the tribal rebellion as soon as possible, the strategies we will adopt are the ones mentioned above. Do you have any opinions on this?"

After Yang Bo narrated the plan to Tumaihan in detail, Yang Xuan, who was sitting at the top, saw the situation, turned his gaze to Tumahan, and asked.

Hearing the words, Tu Maihan couldn't help showing a look of hesitation on his face. He looked at Yang Xuan who was sitting at the head, and said slowly, "I think this plan is too radical?"

When Tumahan said this, he paused for a moment, then continued.

"If you follow your plan, wouldn't all the leaders who participated in this rebellion be punished?"

"I think some people can be spared appropriately, for example, Wei Zhengsu can stay. This person is a good fighter in war!"

Yang Xuan, who was sitting at the top, immediately included Wei Zhengsu in his must-kill list in his heart after listening to Tu Maihan's proposal.

After that, Yang Xuan came back to his senses, turned his gaze to Tu Maihan who was sitting aside, and asked.

"Apart from Wei Zhengsu, is there anyone else who needs to be saved?"

Tumai rarely saw such a situation, thought that Yang Xuan was asking for his own opinion, and did not suspect him, so he immediately named several people.

"Amutai is quite powerful in the tribe. If you can hold him firmly in your hands, you can rest easy. In addition, there are..."

After that, Tumahan mentioned several names in a row, and Yang Xuan kept them in his heart. He planned to chat with these people by the way when he led the army to the Chahar tribe to quell the rebellion.

It's fine if these people are willing to cooperate. If not, Yang Xuan doesn't mind sending them on the road.

After all, the purpose of his trip, besides helping Tumahan to quell the rebellion among the tribe, has another purpose, which is to cut off Tumahan's wings by the way!
At this moment, Yang Bo stood up from his seat, looked at the two of them separately, and suggested.

"Since the matter has almost been discussed, how about we take this opportunity to go and review it?"

Hearing this, Tumahan felt a 'thump' in his heart. He didn't know that this was the Ming people's attack on him, but even so, he was also full of curiosity about the Ming army that could defeat him.

Because of this, after thinking for a while, Tumahan finally agreed to Yang Bo's proposal.

"Well, let's go and see!"

After that, under the guard of the guards, the three left the governor's mansion and headed towards the school grounds in the city.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the school grounds, Tumahan was shocked by the sight in front of him. As far as he could see, there were soldiers of the Ming army in armor, neatly arranged, and tirelessly practicing the battle formation.

Tumaihan could tell from the actions of these Ming soldiers during the drill that the Ming soldiers in front of them were all elite soldiers.

After stopping to watch for a while, Tumaihan looked away reluctantly, looking at the armor worn by the Ming soldiers, Tumahan's face was full of envy, and he said to himself.

"Hey, if my army could have so many armors back then, would the situation be different?"

Not long after, the military officer in charge of the school grounds saw Yang Xuan and Yang Bo coming, and hurried forward to greet them, saying respectfully.

"Your officer, I have met the governor and the minister!"

I saw Yang Xuan waved his hand quite casually, and immediately gave instructions.

"It's okay, we're just here to take a look around, so keep busy!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Seeing Yang Xuan's words, the officer in charge of the school grounds did not dare to stay at the scene, turned around and left immediately, and only sent a articulate soldier to introduce the surrounding situation to them.

Under the soldier's introduction, Tumahan was even more frightened, because he not only saw the armor worn by the Ming army, but also the corresponding weapons such as firecrackers and cannons.

Walking, I saw the soldier suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Yang Xuan, his face was full of embarrassment: "My lord, the front is where everyone is trying out new weapons, look... ..."

After the soldier finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Tumahan who was aside, the meaning contained in it was self-evident.

It was rare for Tumai to do this. Just when he was about to speak, Yang Xuan nodded and gave orders to the soldier.

"It's okay, let's continue!"

After receiving Yang Xuan's order, the soldier immediately gained confidence, and immediately led the three of them into it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Tumaihan entered it, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he froze in place, unable to speak for a long time.

The reason is very simple, because he saw the weapon that made him fall into a nightmare at the beginning—the grenade.

Following Tumahan's line of sight, I saw a soldier take out a grenade from his waist, ignite the fuse, and throw it forcefully towards the distance. In an instant, there was a deafening explosion, soil flew, ceramic fragments Splash around.

This situation made Tumahan feel a little dazed, and in his mind, every detail of the battlefield at that time resurfaced.

After the grenade exploded, there were fragments of limbs everywhere. Those Ming soldiers held Yanling knives, like chopping melons and vegetables, and wiped out most of their elite troops with ease.
