Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 215 The Third Siege (Eleventh)

Qiu Tianxing already knew about the massive counterattacks by the home-returning regiments from Luzhou Prefecture, Lu'an Prefecture, and Ningguo Prefecture, but at this moment he had no way to deal with the rampant counterattack of the Tartars, because the Tartars were still provoking war in the east at the same time.Under the command of Chen Jin, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the [-] Tartar army launched an offensive against Zhenjiang Prefecture.

Zhenjiang is only a hundred miles away from Jinling, and the army arrives at dawn and at night.If there is a mistake in Zhenjiang, Jinling will directly bear the offensive of the Tartars.The third battalion of Zhang Liansheng, who was guarding Zhenjiang, had no more than 3000 soldiers and horses, and was somewhat powerless in the face of the powerful offensive of the Tartars.Therefore, Qiu Tianxing sent the only firearms team under his command, a total of [-] people, to support the Zhenjiang battlefield.

In addition to being busy with military affairs, Qiu Tianxing also consumed a lot of energy in diplomacy.

Because the headquarters of the security regiment became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, no matter it was the nearby Lu Wang regime, Zhu Chenggong Group, or the remote Yongli regime and the rest of the Daxi Army, they all sent envoys to Jinling.

Both the King Lu regime and the Yongli regime regarded themselves as the remnant Ming and Zhengshuo, and both wanted to recruit the security group for their own use, while the Zhu Chenggong Group and the rest of the Daxi Army adopted a policy of distant friendship and short-term attack, and wanted to ally with the security group.So when these four groups of people gathered in Jinling, first of all, the envoys of King Lu had conflicts with the envoys of Yongli, and the envoys of Zhu Chenggong and the envoys of Daxi Army were secretly hostile and wary of each other.However, the headquarters of the security regiment led by Qiu Tianxing was annoyed by this group of people.

Whether it is the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Public Security, or the Ministry of Political Propaganda, they have all been harassed by these people.In order to get through the relationship with the head of the group, Qiu Tianxing, the ministers of these departments can only be pitifully disturbed by them three times a day.Although Qiu Tianxing had no intention of attaching himself to a certain party, but at this time when the Tartar soldiers were pressing down on the border, even if these people could not become allies, they must not become enemies.In this way, they can only be left to dry, to dry, to dry again.

In the end, Zhou Zhen, who was overwhelmed, suggested to Qiu Tianxing to form a foreign ministry to deal with these people, but Qiu Tianxing had too few people in his pocket, and he really didn't have anyone to serve as the foreign minister.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Qiu Tianxing all wanted to separate from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the difficulty was that there were not so many department heads.Although Zhou Zhen was a little bit overwhelmed by the busy government affairs and wanted Qiu Tianxing to lighten his burden, but Qiu Tianxing really couldn't find anyone.The accumulation of talents for several years has only cultivated a large number of grassroots officials, without the accumulation of time and experience, and more importantly, the accumulation of qualifications. These people cannot and should not take such important positions.Of course, the above reasons are only on the table. The most important thing is that Qiu Tianxing cannot know the other party's loyalty without a long test.Hasty promotion will upset the internal balance of power.

You can't do everything alone, you need help.Driven by interests or connected by fellowship and friendship, factions arise.This is true whether it is the former Ming Dynasty, the Tartars, or the current security regiment.Although the security team was formed by Qiu Tianxing alone, it was not his business alone.Countless people regard the cause of the security group as their direction of struggle, and countless people also count on the security group to make their lives safe and secure, so that they can be prosperous for generations.As a result, this newborn force became extremely complicated.

All this gave Qiu Tianxing a headache, an incomparable headache.In his previous life, he had never even been the group leader in the school, but now he is responsible for the lives and wealth of millions of people.

At this time, Zhang Shoushan, deputy director of the head's office, came in, and he whispered to Qiu Tianxing.

"Captain, it's already past noon, it's already late, it's time for you to have lunch."

"Well, go and ask someone to bring it in."

Zhang Shoushan was originally a division chief of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. His mother had taken care of Qiu Tianxing's wife and children, so she was considered a caring person.Therefore, Qiu Tianxing asked him to come from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and appointed him as the deputy director of the head office, also known as the Youth League Office for short.It is said to be the deputy director, but there is no direct director above him, so Zhang Shoushan is a real and anonymous director of the regiment office.Before that, Zhang Shoushan was a division chief in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After Qiu Tianxing formed the Youth League Office and transferred him to the Youth League Office, he became a bureau chief.In fact, rank is not important to Zhang Shoushan, even if he is the lowest rank, there are still people who fawn on him after he goes out.On weekdays, Zhang Shoushan was in charge of sorting out the documents, and Qiu Tianxing only read them after Zhang Shoushan sorted them out, so Zhang Shoushan could decide the order in which Qiu Tianxing read the documents, which was a great right.If it is with the Tartars, this right is not for a great scholar.It's just that in the security regiment, his rank is much lower than that of the head of the department, but he is also typically a humble and important position.

Now the headquarters of the security regiment occupies six prefectures and three prefectures, all of which are rich in the world, and has millions of soldiers and more than [-] soldiers. It can be regarded as a powerful force in the world.If you count the four battalions that were divided, it is the head of the anti-Tartar forces in the world.So Zhang Shoushan is very optimistic about the cause of the security regiment, even if the Tartar soldiers are approaching now, he also thinks so.

The only thing that worries him is that recently the head of the group is in a low mood and likes to meditate, and he always forgets to eat, which makes Zhang Shoushan extremely entangled.It’s okay for people not to eat, because they will get sick!His life's wealth and honor rested on the head of the group, if the head of the group fell down, he would have no future in his life.

When Zhang Shoushan heard that Qiu Tianxing wanted to eat, he became excited and said quickly.

"Hey, Captain, please wait a moment, lunch will be delivered right away." After speaking, Zhang Shoushan left in a hurry.

Seeing Zhang Shoushan's hurried back, Qiu Tianxing smiled wryly.In fact, he didn't have any appetite at all, but he didn't want to worry Zhang Shoushan, so he said he wanted to have lunch.

At this time Qiu Tianxing understood the reason why Zhuge Liang had to do everything by himself.Always worrying that others will not do well, always worrying that others will have different ideas, always wanting to shoulder all the government and military affairs by myself, and the result is that I will die after doing my best, and the end is just like this.At this time, Qiu Tianxing also had the same trouble. People were separated from each other, and he didn't know whether it was a red heart or a black heart;Even if you are loyal, you can always become, and later become unfaithful.

"It's hard! It's really hard!" Qiu Tianxing chewed his food, but felt like chewing wax.

At this moment, Qiu Tianxing suddenly remembered his previous life.The kind that sleeps and eats when you are tired, rests when you have money, and finds work when you have no money.Live simply, don't worry about it.Watching TV and drinking beer in my free time, what a beautiful day!Except for a daughter-in-law who doesn't need a house and a car, everything else is perfect.But those days are gone forever, and I can never go back, and I can never see my dear parents again.Even though he is powerful in this world, he is still just an orphan.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tianxing became irritable. He pushed away the food that he had only eaten a few bites, and walked into the room behind the office.At this moment, a sandbag was hanging on the beam of the room, hanging straight.

Qiu Tianxing looked at the sandbag, but the sandbag remained still, as if the person and the sandbag were looking at each other quietly.
