Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"Rong Chengbo is the commander-in-chief of Shandong Town, haha, haha... he is also the commander-in-chief of the admiral's military affairs!"

With Zhang Shouren's status, it is of course impossible to serve as an ordinary army commander. In order to dispatch him to Liaodong, he had to temporarily join the regiment to train the commander. The imperial court could no longer be stingy when taking office, so the word admiral was added directly before the chief military officer.

There is the word admiral, and if you are like a military strategist, you have the right to act cheaply and control the army. Even the commander-in-chief of another town like Liu Zeqing needs to show the courtesy of a subordinate when seeing Zhang Shouren.

This is on the premise that Zhang Shouren does not have the seal of the great general and the title of Uncle Rong Cheng. With these two things, plus Shang Fangjian and Lingjian, Liu Zeqing, the prince, grand master, and commander-in-chief of the left governor can only be a subordinate. He is called the last general and has a poor status. too far.

Upon hearing the court order, Liu Zeqing, who was still in front of the army commanding the siege of the merchant group, burst out laughing. [

Smiling so happily and devotedly, the people on the side thought that the handsome man had won some prize, but when Liu Zeqing threw away the official document in his hand, Liu Yuanqing's face turned pale when he looked at it next.

"Brother, this is a damn thing. Isn't the court and the emperor just playing with us?"

To say that warriors have a straight temper, criticizing the government and attacking the emperor in the street like this, it is really impossible without ordinary courage.

"Forget it, there's no need to talk about it." After all, Liu Zeqing was the head of the family, his face was pale, but he quickly calmed down.He waved his hand and shouted: "Don't let people see the joke... Pass on my general order, take away the surrounded soldiers, and return to the camp first. Then use my post to pay tribute to the leaders of the chamber of commerce. There is no need for a misunderstanding. Then ask the imperial court to send personnel to investigate, and it will be difficult for everyone... Ask someone to prepare the official robes, I will go to see the governor, and ask Mr. Zhong Cheng to come out to clean up the mess, calm people's hearts, and prepare food for us...Everyone follow me back to Yanzhou go."

These words were extremely sad, all the generals of the Liu Department present were red-eyed, and many people were unwilling, but everyone also understood that this method was the last resort.

If you delay any longer, you may really lose all your money.

"I just wronged everyone." Liu Zeqing said to the crowd with a calm expression, "Follow me through this hard work. I originally said that everyone should move their positions and have their own hair. Now there is no need to talk about it. After returning to Yanzhou, I will take care of myself." If you have some self-esteem, use it to make up for everyone... You don’t need to say anything else, as long as you go back to the south with me, unite as one, and don’t make trouble for me, I, Liu, will be the most grateful!"

Although his expression was calm, his tone gradually became tougher, and in the end, he seemed like a friend of gold and stone, which made all the generals bow their heads in awe and did not dare to resist.

After all, he is also the commander-in-chief who has led the army for many years, so he still has such a little ability to handle people.

At that moment, all the generals of the Liu Department agreed one after another, and then began to withdraw from the encirclement.

More than [-] soldiers from the entire Liu Department surrounded the chamber of commerce for several miles. It seemed to isolate the inside and outside, but the number was too small, and the soldiers were not elite. Since they came out, everything has gone wrong, their morale is weak, and they are lazy in doing things. Yang Yang is not motivated, one can imagine the effect of this encirclement.

"Withdraw, withdraw, close the team!"

A series of sharp screams rang out one after another, resounding throughout the whole city of Jinan.

I saw groups of officers and soldiers from Caozhou start to withdraw, the flags were lowered, and everyone was carrying spears, walking listlessly and dejectedly, first the members of the merchant group, and then the executive committee members and others who came out to observe the news. The shopkeepers, and then the ordinary people, the gentry, all of them cheered loudly at the same moment.

The sound of thousands of people cheering together really resounded through the sky, like thunder and tsunami, like bursts of winter thunder, deafening, alarming and exciting.

Amidst such cheers, all the generals in Caozhou looked pale. These days, they did not dare to do evil in the city because they were concerned about the counterattack of the merchant group. Seeing the appearance of the whole city at this time, everyone felt lucky!

If you have really done so many evil things in Jinan City, and now you want to retreat from the whole city, based on the current situation, is it possible?

"It seems that we really made mistakes every step of the way." Liu Zeqing felt even more ashamed, he really regretted this trip deeply.It is indeed too hasty to choose such a choice, such as taking advantage of the fire, and taking the edge of the sword.

But he was also feeling ruthless in his heart: "Wait until I return to Yanzhou and accumulate strength." [

Thinking about it now, there are a lot of things that Fushan Group and Jinan Commercial Bank may have intervened in this fight, and Zhang Shouren can be seen everywhere.

Liu Zeqing was so humiliated, and when he was ashamed, he naturally hated Zhang Shouren deeply, and felt ruthless in his heart again and again, and he would never give up with Zhang Shouren!

"He, the commander-in-chief of Shandong, must not make it easy for him to do what he wants!"

……

……

When the generals in Caozhou were all covered with white hair, the sound of firecrackers gradually started to ring out in the city. From the east of the city to other places, there were cheers and the sound of firecrackers exploding everywhere.

These days, Linqing is besieged outside, thieves are threatening, and there are wars between officers and soldiers and business groups in the city. Although they are all very restrained, unlike the 11th year of Chongzhen, which hurt innocent people in the city, how can the people feel at ease? ?

When the whole city is in turmoil, it is natural that business travel disappears, and all businesses are depressed. I don’t know how many shops in the city are closed. Sometimes, to buy a pot of vinegar, you have to go to dozens of small shops to buy it. There is a problem with the food supply. If this continues, who knows what the situation will look like?

"Caozhou's soldiers are wise, now it's safe!"

"The emperor worships our general as the commander-in-chief of Shandong, and Jinan will be guarded by the general from now on."

"Wow, wow!"

I don't know how many people are rushing to tell each other, and the brows are full of happiness. If the generals of the whole Ming Dynasty can receive such affirmation and welcome in the provincial government, it is estimated that Zhang Shouren is the only one.

The defense of Jinan is a great achievement. It quelled the riots in the city twice. The credit for public security alone has already made all Jinan people admire it. This is the greatest achievement of a general. , these things are just icing on the cake.

In such a chaotic world, of course, stability is the number one priority in the hearts of the common people. With Zhang Shouren around, many people feel like the magic needle of calming the sea in their hearts.

This kind of feeling is not limited to ordinary people, even officials, gentry and clan families have the same feeling.

"Brother, did you hear the sound of firecrackers?"

Zhu Jiuni didn't stop just now, and ran back and forth in the mansion of General Zhen Guo, observing the situation around the city.As a clan, it is inconvenient to go to the places where the common people live, especially the girls' families, but since the appointment, the whole city cheers, how can Zhu Jiuni restrain her temper, is she in the four turrets of her house? After running up and down in a circle and seeing the scenery in the city, he came down full of joy.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Enshang also smiled all over his face.

"By the way, you came back from the palace, right? In the Forbidden City, is there any talk about this matter?"

When she said this, Zhu Jiuni had a mocking look on her face. It seemed that there were really not many people in the palace that this girl could look up to.

It was true that Zhu Enshang had just returned from the palace, and after leaving the Forbidden City in the palace, he had to relieve his depression.

Looking at the girl, he said helplessly: "Aren't all of us uncles, nephews, nephews and grandchildren complaining, saying that there has been a lot of trouble these days, and the prices of theater troupes have all increased...Second uncle and fifth uncle are fighting for one The oiran in the team almost got into a fight...it sounds like a joke, but brother really can't laugh." [

These days, there are more people in the clan who are heartless and less people who are prepared for danger in times of peace.Like him, there is no one in a clan that cares about state affairs and people's livelihood.

This is also related to the national policy of Ming Dynasty. According to the rules after Chengzu, the clan is raised as pigs in captivity. The princes in the city are not allowed to meet each other, and they are not allowed to collude. They were not allowed to make pilgrimage, not to leave the city without authorization, and had to report in advance even when going out of the city to visit their ancestors’ graves. They were not allowed to be officials or take exams.

In such a system, life is very comfortable from the prince of the county to the general of the town. With a large amount of Huangzhuang farmland, plus the salt given, and doing some business in secret, the life is very comfortable, and there is no burden. Political responsibility, of course, is the wine pool and meat forest every day.

Below General Zhen Guo, because there is no place to live, the clan's salary is not as full as every year, so many clans are inevitably suffering from hunger and cold.

During the reign of Chongzhen, there were many times when generals or lieutenants wrote letters, saying that they were poor and all kinds of hardships.It was not until the late Chongzhen period that the ban was lifted and the clan was allowed to do business and take exams, but by then it was too late.

Due to various reasons, there are many people in the clan who don't understand the general situation, few people who are sober, and many people who are confused.In this era, there are very few people who care about the national economy and the people's livelihood as much as the Zhu Enshang brothers and sisters.

Hearing the eldest brother talking about those uncles in the clan, Zhu Jiuni just laughed and fell down, unable to speak for a while, but Zhu Enshang was in a gloomy mood, shook his head, and ignored this crazy girl.

In fact, there are even more ridiculous things in the clan. Many cards of King De were cleared by Fushan, and there are only some in the Jinan area. They are very dissatisfied with this matter. Temptation, asked Zhu Enshang to pay tribute on his behalf, Wangfu tax card, quality shop, all want to restore, and even want to get a share of the salt profit.

The rest of the county kings and generals all had this intention, and they often ran against Zhu Enshang with words. All kinds of situations made Zhu Enshang miserable.

Zhang Shouren was ordered to guard Jinan this time, and he really doesn't know what will happen in the future!
