Better Safe Than Sorry
Chapter 41:Better Safe Than Sorry
"In the next surname right, a single name, a word, with friends to the lake to do business, for the first time in life to Wuchangfu, please guide the brother Taiwan to point out the local customs and customs..."
This person's name is the right to learn, claiming to be Jiujiangfu people, and at the age of 30, although he is uninvited, he is polite, polite and thoughtful, and not objectionable.
"It's a chance to meet, please sit down."Wang Kefan nodded his head and gave him a seat.
"Just heard a few people talk about the inspection of the royal history of Huang, I do not know in Wuchangfufang, how long zodiac wind evaluation?"...”
Rights Xi chatted a few words, pulled the topic to the lake officialdom, but also special concern for Huang Li, from governance for people, to the living section, have repeatedly inquired.
The first time we met, the most taboo to make a shallow speech, involving the inside of the officialdom, Wang Kefan did not want to talk deeply, only picked up some irrelevant words.Seeing the cold place, the right to learn got up to say goodbye, called a few companions to leave, and when he went out, he also paid the account for Wang Kefan's table.
"This man is not like a business, I don't know what the way to go."Lu Renqing looked at his back and said thoughtfully: "He is not true in his words, look at the faces of those companions, it seems that there are martial arts in the body, and the behavior is like a person in the door."
"Eighty percent of this man came against Huang."Wang Kefan spent many years in the army in his past life, more familiar with the unique temperament of the right to practice.
It was a long time in the discipline department, the imprint of behavior, although this person was dressed in plain clothes, and his speech and behavior imitated ordinary businessmen, but the bones were a cold metallic texture, like a delicate screw on the state machine.
“Brother Yuntai, do you think he came from Nanjing?”Lu Renqing was very surprised, and some excited: "If it is true, his courage is not small, there are hundreds of thousands of left-hand soldiers to protect, who dares to take Huang Yi..."
...
After lunch, Wang Kefan came to the Gongyi camp near East Lake.
The camp continued to expand, the barracks of the barracks shuttled, a lot of people, Wang Kefan's former barracks were also occupied by others.
"It looks like we're going to stay at the inn tonight."
Wang Kefan looked around, left for so long, the change in the Gongyi camp was not great, although the soldiers were well equipped, but there was a vague atmosphere, compared with the four sentry horses under his command, like two troops.
"Go to my house, that... my house is spacious."Kyung Liang carefully suggested, afraid that Wang Kefan would refuse.
"Well, since you're here, you're going to look at your parents."Wang Kefan smiled and nodded, and brought everyone to the camp of Niu Zhongxiao (the barracks in the army, the accommodation office is dual-use).
Handing the hand book, the guard who kept the door went in to tell the notice, the time was not long, Niu Zhongxiao took several relatives to greet him, and raised his hand with a smile from a long distance.
"Yuntai brother, I'm talking about you, hey - what are you doing with these false gifts, please come in, let's have a good talk today!"
Wang Kefan leaned over to salute, but was picked up by Niu Zhongxiao, and under the surprised and envious eyes of the people, he took him hand in hand and entered from the door.Lu Renqing and others greeted themselves and went to the partial hall to rest and wait, and he followed Niu Zhongxiao and came to the Chinese military hall.
"The end will be just a partial will, when the co-op table is so kind, I am afraid it will be a surprise, some wrong."Unless in special circumstances, Wang Kefan wants to keep a low profile.The most important class in the army is high and low, and his identity is much worse than that of Niu Zhongxiao, and being familiar with it is not a good thing for two people.
“I can’t stand the rules in the office!The whole fight, but also with a respectable official, it is simply to make people suffocate crazy, it is better to give the army door as a guard..."
Niu Zhongxiao this general official bitter, when the official tired of the prison is not a sentiment.His surname is generous, there is no military background, no military ability and communicative wrist, a few months down the heart of the exhausted, unbearable, mention the original carefree, quite a thousand feelings.
Wang Kefan smiled and said nothing more.When officials are also a talent, some people's surname is not suitable for officials, reluctantly do not come.
"Why should Yuntai worry too much, you defeat the water bandits, in my camp of the highest combat skills, it should be big open the front door, to meet each other, who dare to chew the tongue, see me do not have a big ear scraping to smoke him!" 」
Niu Zhongxiao smiled and clapped his hands, and a friend brought a package, opened it, inside was a document, a set of official clothes, and a small copper mark.
"To your credit, it is also appropriate to give a guerrilla general, but ... but come to the chief, first step to a defensive, there will be a chance."Niu Zhongxiao was a little embarrassed, and the guard was also a sesame green bean officer, and some of them had wronged Wang Kefan.
"Thank you for the help of the cow, at the end of the day, you will work hard and kill the enemy bravely!"Wang Kefan is very satisfied, although the guard is not yet the general of the eight times, but in the battle, it is already possible to play its own flag, more importantly, the above can read into the army, with the qualifications of guarding the field.
"The generals of your men, Wang Sheng, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, have also risen to a thousand, and the documents are here."Niu Zhongxiao smiled, “Someone said it was cool, and they despised you show talent.”I can't imagine that in the end, it will be a show of merit, and I will save some face for the court.”
This battle against the Dashun peasant army fully exposed the weakness of the Ming Army, and hundreds of thousands of troops against Baiwang's 70,000 or 80,000 horses did not prevail.
Zuo Liangyu's thirty-sixth battalion, which had previously been feared by the general army, fearing the enemy like a tiger, and fled.Jin Shenghuan, Li Guoying and Xu Yong and other departments have strong combat effectiveness, but with the intention of preserving strength, they do not listen to the dispatch and passively avoid the war.
He Tengzhao was afraid of the loss of Fubiao and Gongyi camp, and simply hid them in the back, even the shadow of the general army did not see.Niu Zhongxiao first spent a month in Wuchang Province, then led thousands of horses across the Yangtze River, to Hankou town Heyang Yang turned around, and then across the Han Shui, in Hanyang Province came an armed parade, butt has not left the three towns of Wuhan, the war against Baiwang is inexplicably over.
This is certainly not a glorious thing, Niu Zhongxiao single-mindedly want to bring the court into a elite soldier, fight two battles, in return for He Tengju's knowledge of the grace, but he is also very clear, if the Gongyi camp really meets the general army, it must be a touch and a collapse, it is better than the subordinates of Zuo Liangyu.
Unexpectedly, Chongyang came from this side of the report, Niu Zhongxiao was overjoyed, and the waist of the people in front of the people were straightened a lot, and they were more and more important to Wang Kefan.
"Yuntai brother, you are a man who can fight, and you will help me more with old brothers and me."Niu Zhongxiao said: "He Junmen has made it clear that the whole camp of Gongyi Camp will not be sent out, and the city and Linxiang will be recovered as soon as possible, and the remnants of the Song River will be destroyed..., Yuntai, I will not blame you for stealing your credit?"
"The end will be a pawn under the account of the association, willing to drive for the horse!"
“All right, all right!You and I will fight a big battle together!”
The two people talked about the Chongyang and Tongcheng war, and discussed the victory and loss.Niu Zhongxiao listened very carefully, and every detail was repeatedly asked, and in the end, he sighed in disappointment.
"Well, although this method of training soldiers to fight is good, it is easy to imitate.Some of you show are many readers, the skill of bringing soldiers to war will learn, the soldiers are also honest, but the generals in our battalion are all crude, and the soldiers are slippery and stubborn.”
Just as building a house without a good foundation stone, the innate defects of the camp are difficult to overcome.
The two talked for a while, and Wang Kefan got up to say goodbye, and Niu Zhongxiao was sent to the door.
"Oh, Yuntai, there's one more thing I almost forgot, what kind of Junmen is about to be promoted to governor of Huguang, you know?"
Niu Zhongxiao asked a question, saw Wang Kefan nodded, and said: "The emperor's angel has arrived in Wuchangfu, the governor's door will be listed tomorrow, He Junmen specially ordered your name, tomorrow to go with me to see the ceremony..."
...
That night, Wang Kefan and his party stayed at the home of Beijing.
Seeing the benefactor on the door, Jingliang's father Jingford was very enthusiastic, and he served everyone with a rich banquet, and called out his daughter at the table to thank the original life-saving grace.
Wang Kefan was a little absent-minded, and after drinking a few glasses of courtesy, he pushed off the boat Lawton, withdrew and returned to the room, thinking about the information he had received in the past two days.
Judging from the reaction of Niu Zhongxiao, the battle to defeat the water bandits has been recognized by everyone, but He Tengzhao's control of the Gongyi camp is very strict, and he wants to set up another door, and there are still many obstacles in the middle.
Counting the time, in less than two months, Li's achievements will be defeated and removed, the south will be wide, the Qing soldiers will follow, the war will spread throughout Jiangnan, and the Gongyi camp will face a cruel test.
These buddies are busy training and banditry, do not make full use of the advantages of understanding the direction of history, the layout of the speed is a bit slow...
The door suddenly "during" two times, Jingford looked at his body and showed a smiling face.
“General Wang, haven’t you stopped yet?”Jingford politely said a few words and suddenly asked, “I heard that General Wang and Long Maochang have some holidays?”
"There is no holiday, Long Maochang in Chongyang's semi-sign is a little illegal, just hit my hand, just to teach him a lesson."Wang Kefan replied.
“There’s a lot of business a problem right now.But it is indeed a little too much.”
“Why is the outside of Beijing familiar with Long Maochang?”
“There have been a few fights in the business field.”Jingford said: "If General Wang wants to deal with Long Maochang, I have some evidence here, all of which are felonies in collusion with bandits, selling salt, and paying bribes to the government."
Wang Kefan moved in his heart, but his body leaned back on the back of the chair and said with no concern: "There is always room for people to do things, and the things between me and Long Maochang have passed away, and there is no reason to stare at them."
"General Wang is generous and admired, but as the saying goes, snakes do not die but are bitten..."
"The snake is too big, I can't beat it, and I'll kill the snake, and the rabbit wild boar will scare you away."
Wang Kefan's metaphor is completely modern thinking, Jingford is not very suitable, it is half way to understand the meaning of his words.
“If that’s the case, it’s a lot of worry.However, Long Maochang has a deep background, and I am afraid that he will not rest, and when General Wang needs it, he can come to take this evidence at any time.”Ginger took a good omit and said goodbye.
“You’re in the salt business, aren’t you?”Wang Kefan suddenly asked a question.
“That’s what Kyiv said, isn’t it?Oh, I'm just a horse pawn, and now the world is too messy, I have to think about eating a mouthful of food."Although it is illegal to sell private salt, Jingford admitted frankly and is not afraid.
During the Nanming period, the salt industry monopoly system has collapsed, the court has completely lost control, the king, the eunuchs, warlords, officials, salt merchants..., everyone is selling private salt, the eight immortals across the sea, each is a clear secret, in this huge chain of interests, Jingford is only a small role.
Wang Kefan smiled and asked, "If I am not mistaken, the Beijing staff is trying to squeeze out Long Maochang and seize the private salt business of Chongyang and Tongcheng, right?"
"General Wang has a clear mind, and the despicable man has such a little thought."Jingford's face flashed an embarrassed look, but soon regained his composure: "If General Wang can become this matter, the scorn will have a heavy thank you!"
“The Chicago staff misunderstood!I'm a military man, I don't care if I'm a gun, I don't care if I'm a gun, I don't help you any time."Wang Kefan was still smiling: "But this matter is urgent, it is not a peaceful world, the lake may fight at any time, and the stalls of business should not be too big."
Even if you squeeze Long Maochang, two months later, the war together, everything is playing rough, Jingford's hard work is wasted.
“What does General Wang mean?”Jingford did not understand it again, and hesitated to ask, "Will the thief still attack Wuchang?"No, there are left-handers sitting in town, they dare to come to death?"
"This is inconvenient to say, in a word, carefully sail the ship for a thousand years."One after the possibility of cooperation, the second came to look at the face of Jingliang, Wang Kefan took him hand in hand.
