The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 169 Master Ye actually wrote a letter to Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang finally got tough for 3 minutes!
"Old Guo, go pick up the goods yourself!"

After Ye Qing said coldly and decisively to Zhu Yuanzhang, he quickly walked to the battle command room.

At the same time, he also ordered while walking: "Notify the county magistrate, Mr. Wu, to stop what you are doing and come to the combat commander to discuss matters."

"Notify General Li of the Yanmen Left Guard, General Yang of the Right Guard of Yanmen, General Chen of the Yangmingbao Guard, and General Nie Yingwei Wang to come to the combat command room to discuss matters."

"Withdraw all agents outside the pass, and reward them all for their merits!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and others looked at the fast-moving back in front of them, and felt that Master Ye, who was so casual before, seemed to be a different person immediately.

This maverick, who doesn't care about other people's feelings at all, and only cares about his own happiness when speaking and doing things, has directly become a vigorous and rigorous 'General Ye'.

If his plainclothes full of literati temperament were replaced with a set of exquisitely crafted white robes and silver armor, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a general who became famous at a young age.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized something.

"Could it be that he is not only capable of enriching the people and the country with literature, but also with the ability to lead the army to defend against the enemy?"

"This is impossible!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes also became complicated.

Today, because of Ye Qing's astonishing talent, he has tailor-made two bottom lines for him.

The first bottom line is that he, Ye Qing, makes money within the limits. As long as he does not get involved in agricultural taxation and the national foundation, and always maintains the principle of being greedy for money and doing things for the people, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, can turn a blind eye to it!

The second bottom line is that he, Ye Qing, can't get involved in important military and political affairs, he can understand military logistics, but he definitely can't have the talent to lead troops and fight like Xu Da!

Still the same sentence, he wants both civil and military talents, but he definitely doesn't want all-round talents in civil and military affairs!
Especially him Ye Qing, if he is really all-rounder in civil and military affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang really can't sleep.

A person who has wealth, popular support, food, armaments, and military power, and is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, will such a person be inferior to others?
The answer to this question, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, is certain!

If Zhu Yuanzhang had such conditions, he would definitely rebel. Even if he hadn't rebelled yet, he must be preparing for the rebellion.

Even if you really don't want to rebel, it is an unforgivable sin for a person to have the condition to rebel at any time.

As the saying goes, "everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty", that is the truth.

He, Zhu Yuanzhang, was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was for private or public purposes, such a person would never be allowed to live!

Just after Zhu Yuanzhang's complex eyes showed a trace of killing intent, Empress Ma gently held his hand again.

"Master, let's go and see first, shall we?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma next to him, and he saw an obvious look of prayer in Empress Ma's eyes.

He knew that his sister had already seen through his inner thoughts, but she didn't force him to stop killing Ye Qing, she just begged him to take a look.

In fact, this is the reason why he pampered Empress Ma alone in a conniving manner.

Not only because the two of them are a couple in distress with a "combat friendship", but also because she, Ma Xiuying, knows when to do things, when and in what way to do things.

Yes,

Empress Ma didn't want Ye Qing to die at the hands of her family's Chongba, but even more hoped that they could become the "Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng" of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty could return to the glory of the Tang Dynasty!

Even in Empress Ma's view, with Ye Qing's talents, as long as he faithfully assists her family Shigehachi, the Ming Dynasty has the hope of far surpassing the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

As for whether she can see this day in her lifetime, it doesn't matter!
As long as you have this hope, you have this hope!
But she also has her own bottom line, that is, no one can threaten the status of her family Shigehachi.

If Ye Qing is really an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, then he, Ye Qing, would really be 'innocent, but guilty'.

But for now, there are only signs of that.

Whether he summoned the generals to discuss matters, or he set up the combat command room in the county government office, it does not prove that he has the talent of a general, let alone that he has the ambition to get involved in military affairs!

Facing such a great talent, she is willing to be cautious and give Ye Qing enough opportunities.

Of course, she also knew that this opportunity was not something she could give, it had to be given by her family!

Therefore, she can only help Ye Qing beg her family to give Ye Qing this chance!
Zhu Yuanzhang also saw the inner thoughts and expectations of her sister from Empress Ma's eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at Ye Qing's back, and said in his heart: "Ye Qing, you must not disappoint the empress's expectations of you, and my patience with you!"

Thinking of this, the imperceptible killing intent in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes disappeared again.

Immediately afterwards, he smiled and nodded towards Queen Ma.

In fact, even if Empress Ma didn't ask him, he wouldn't jump to conclusions right now.

The reason why he had such a reaction was just a subconscious thinking reaction.

Even if he, Ye Qing, is really all-rounder in civil and military affairs, and really has the ambition to get involved in military affairs and even rebellion, that would be a matter of reckoning after the fall. Now that the enemy is at hand, Zhu Yuanzhang will not make any decisions that affect the overall situation.

Furthermore, from the current point of view, no matter what, he, Ye Qing, is fighting to protect the country and the people.

A seventh-rank magistrate can do this, so how can he, the master of the Ming Dynasty, ignore the overall situation just because he said, "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of a jade"?
To put it bluntly, that is, the mill has not been finished, so how can it kill the donkey?

Therefore, no matter whether it is for public or private purposes, or for righteousness and profit, he can't use a knife against Ye Qing right now, even if he wants to use a knife!

Let's talk about it after the war is over!

After the war is over, we will analyze the specific situation and analyze it in detail!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became the real "Master Guo" who once served as Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldier and led soldiers in battle!
"Master Ye, there is no rush to pick up the goods."

"We are also people who have led soldiers, and maybe we can help you as a staff officer!"

"."

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang also rushed to the combat command room, and Empress Ma, who was not suitable for entering the military and political important places, went to find Shen Wan'er.

After a while,

Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang came to the combat command room.

The combat command room is located in the very center of the entire county government office, behind the administrative hall of the former government office, and in front of Ye Qing's private mansion in the rear government office.

On the large square in front of the command room, there is another watchtower that is much higher than any watchtower in the whole city.

Although they noticed this, they didn't understand for a while that building a watchtower here would be useful!
After Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang entered the combat command room, they looked at the scene in front of them. Although they were calm on the surface, they were still shocked by the layout of the combat command room.

On the wall directly behind the huge command room hung a huge military map.

This military map with the center of Yanmen County and Beiyuan as the center of gravity can be said to be quite detailed.

Whether it is the distribution of the garrison in Yanmen County, or the location of Yanmen Pass and the Great Wall Pass, it can be seen at a glance.

Even the distribution of water sources outside the pass, and even the provisional capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, 'Halahelin', are all clearly visible on it.

And in the very center of the combat command room, there is a huge sand table!
The landmarks and models on the sand table all correspond to the front line of Yanmen Pass!
In front of the sand table is a main seat similar to a handsome seat, and on both sides are eight chairs, similar to the general seat in the handsome tent!

And behind the four chairs on the left, there is also a long table, which should be used for recording documents at any time!
Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang had a sentence in their hearts almost at the same time: "It is comparable to Xu Da's Chinese army commander's account. Although it is not as big, it is more detailed than it."

Thinking of this, the two looked at the map on the wall and the sand table in front of them again.

The pattern of the map on the wall can be used for an expedition to destroy Yuan, but the pattern on this sand table can only be used to defend Yanmen!

Zhu Yuanzhang even glanced at the map and then at the sand table.

At the same time, he began to think again.

"Why did Ye Qing draw a map that can be used to conquer Yuan Yuan, but only make a sand table that can only be used to defend Yanmen?"

"."

But before he could think about it carefully, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang, Ye Qing once again changed into a green official robe, and put on a seven-rank black gauze.

After Ye Qing lifted his clothes and crossed the threshold, he didn't say hello to Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang, but took the first seat on the right consciously.

The reason why Ye Qing asked him to come here was not because he really needed his staff.

To deal with Wang Baobao, no one's staff is needed at all!
He just wanted this Master Guo who could talk to Zhu Yuanzhang to do him a small favor!
In fact, Ye Qing never expected that he would have the chance to command this battle.

But now that the matter has come to this point, the only way to let Zhu Yuanzhang kill him is to use the agricultural tax after the battle is over.

Although it will delay the time to go home again, it can be regarded as a successful full stop for myself!
He Ye Qing III is a general, won the true biography of four famous generals, no longer fighting a battle, it is indeed a bit unsatisfactory!

Just when Ye Qing was planning to do this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing from the corner of his eye, and secretly analyzed it.

"He doesn't wear armor, he doesn't sit in the main seat, and he doesn't even sit in the left seat?"

"It seems that we are worrying too much. He is a person who is out of the field. At most, he is a quartermaster of the Yanmen Garrison!"

"."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately felt relieved.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved, Ye Qing suddenly turned around and asked: "Old Guo, are you familiar with Xu Shuai, can you talk to me?"

Hearing such a question, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little confused. Why did Xu Da get involved all of a sudden?

Zhu Yuanzhang said rigorously: "So what if you can speak up, but what if you can't?"

Ye Qing just slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said: "If you can talk, we need your experience and your staff. If you can't talk, you should pick up the goods immediately, and then leave the city without stopping!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt angry and confused when he heard such an answer.

He was angry because of the straightforward meaning of this sentence, if he could talk to Xu Da, he would stay, and if he couldn't talk to Xu Da, he would leave, a typical example of 'if you want someone, you should have someone, if you don't want someone, you should just pee'!
But he was stunned, he knew that Ye Qing asked such a question, he must hope that he, Master Guo, would have friendship with Xu Da.

But because of this, he didn't understand even more.

How could a Qipin county magistrate need him, Master Guo, to have friendship with Xu Da?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had a strong curiosity about this, he didn't show it at all.

He just said arrogantly: "Master Ye, do you think we have to stay here?"

"The reason why we want to advise you before leaving is only because we have worn armor and sharpened before, and we also want to contribute to the defense of this border."

"Another one is that we have participated in big battles and seen big scenes, and feel that our experience in this area is better than your generals."

"If you want to be polite, we can talk to Xu Da, if you are still so rude, we can't talk to Xu Da!"

Seeing "Master Guo" who had finally become tough in front of Master Ye, Mao Xiang also admired secretly in his heart.

After all, he is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so how could he be bullied by Ye Qing all the time?

And at this moment,
Seeing that Master Guo was so tough in front of him, Ye Qing felt a little bit impressed.

But even if he needs help now, he will not be polite to this old master Guo who is still a part-time imperial envoy.

It's not that he has to!
Even if Ye Qing wrote a letter to Xu Da in his own name, even if he and Xu Dasu didn't know each other, Xu Da would definitely read his letter!

Of course, Xu Da would definitely not read the letter by normal means, and he had no reason to write to Xu Da in public or private!
Even if it was to avoid suspicion, he would never watch it!

But if he used a bow, arrow or dart to forcefully deliver the letter to Xu Da in the TV series of his previous life, Xu Da would definitely read it.

As long as Xu Da read the letter he wrote, he was sure that Xu Da would listen to his suggestion.

It's just that he didn't want to use this forceful way of sending letters unless it was absolutely necessary, which was somewhat impolite.

As he often said, "Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only Xu Da can play a game with me", and the meaning of this sentence also includes "Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, I am only polite to Xu Da." !
It was precisely because of this concern that Ye Qing asked such a question.

But this old Guo insisted on being able to talk to Xu Da, so he put on a show for himself, and he would never be used to it.

He would rather apologize to Xu Da afterwards than be polite to Master Guo, a part-time imperial envoy who could talk to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Then you don't want to pick up the goods, this officer will ask you to refund the 30 payment for the goods."

"Slow walk without sending!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing who turned around directly and didn't even bother to look at him, and his chest was tight with anger.

He really wanted to walk away!
But in order to find out why Ye Qing asked this question, he still endured it again.

Not only that, but he still owes 80 'internal debts', if Ye Qing gets a refund if he is not happy, he will never pay it off in his lifetime.

In Mao Xiang's eyes,
Zhu Yuanzhang got up straight, walked in front of Ye Qing, and immediately turned into a cheap businessman, Mr. Guo: "Master Ye, we were just joking, why do you want to refund?"

"We are very familiar with Xu Da, we can definitely talk to each other."

"What kind of help do you need from us, as long as we can do it, we will definitely do it for you!"

Only then did Ye Qing nodded in satisfaction and said, "I need you to write a letter to Xu Shuai."

Zhu Yuanzhang also immediately asked curiously: "What letter?".
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, please recommend tickets, monthly tickets, and reward support, thank you!
