Huang Guangmao was very dissatisfied with Lushan County’s respected king Jida.

That bastard with a goatee doesn't understand anything except having a bookish head. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. He also likes to point fingers. Huang Guangmao will yell at the slightest slightest neglect, and he will always say that he wants to write a letter to impeach Huang Guangmao.
p>

"This old bastard, how come he wasn't slashed by the bandits when he came here?" Huang Guangmao looked back at Wang Jida who was sitting in a sedan behind him.

This man actually asked him to quickly lead his troops into the mountains to suppress the bandits. Either he was being clever or he wanted to trick him...

They don't even know where the rebel army is in the mountain, how many people there are, or what their equipment is.

I also don’t know the roads, terrain, and the location of the villages in the mountains. If I rush in with the main force so stupidly, I might end up capsizing in the ditch.

If the rash advance of light troops leads to a disastrous defeat, Wang Jida can turn around and leave the mountain with a slap on the butt, and then continue to be his Lushan County Lord. Maybe he will impeach Huang Guangmao, saying that Huang Guangmao underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, lost ground when advancing and retreating, and was intimidated by the enemy.

Zhan and so on, they will put all the blame on Huang Guangmao.

When the time comes, even if he, Huang Guangmao, is killed tragically at the hands of the bandits, he will still be blamed for the defeat of the bandits and the destruction of the army.

After all, this bastard Wang Jida wants to trick him.

Regardless of whether there is a trick in the mind or genuine malice, the result is the same.

In this regard, Huang Guangmao will naturally not do what Wang Jida says!

On the surface, he is respectful and will not even delay the matters ordered by Wang Jida, but in reality, he will find various reasons to delay things.

For example, Wang Jida asked him to quickly enter the mountain.

Although Huang Guangmao will not directly object, he will put forward a lot of opinions.

After a while, it was said that the soldiers were tired and needed time to rest.

After a while, it was said that the food supply was out of stock and that we needed to wait for the later food to arrive.

In short, Huang Guangmao would not really listen to Wang Jida's words and just rush in lightly...

He doesn’t want to die!

But, he would not directly refute Wang Jida's order, even though Wang Jida actually did not have the power to command him.

Wang Jida is just the magistrate of Lushan County, and now he is using his reputation as a civil servant and landowner to point fingers at Huang Guangmao. But strictly speaking, Huang Guangmao is not under his control. After all, Huang Guangmao is a pure military commander, and his immediate superior is in charge.

Chen Zhibang of the entire Ruzhou defense.

Huang Guangmao was just sent to Lushan County by Chen Zhibang to suppress the surrounding areas and protect the rear of Luyang Pass.

It has nothing to do with local officials like Wang Jida and the local health system.

So Wang Jida can't control him.

But, that being said, Huang Guangmao can't really ignore Wang Jida.

Although Wang Jida is the lord of Lushan County and seems to be just a seventh-rank official, his political energy is much stronger than that of Huang Guangmao, a fourth-rank general...

Because Wang Jida was a civil servant, or a civil servant with a Jinshi background, behind him were a group of relatives, friends, and teachers who were also civil servants. If Wang Jida was beaten, they could pull out a group of people to beat him up.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is a typical example of people who are strong in literature and weak in military affairs. He is just a guard commander and a former governor. As long as he doesn't go too far, he has to give Wang Jida face.

After Wang Jida was offended, he immediately launched a big move, wrote dozens of letters, and gathered a group of people to impeach him. Huang Guangmao really couldn't stand it...

So, if you can avoid provoking this kind of person, don’t do it!

Although he felt unhappy, the status of military generals in the country was now commonplace, and Huang Guangmao could not change anything personally, unless he dared to mutiny and rebel...

Nowadays, under the general situation where the civil society is strong and the military is weak, not to mention that Huang Guangmao is just a small guard commander and a military commander. Even if he is his immediate superior, he is a third-rank military commander and a deputy general.

In Henan, Chen Zhibang can be regarded as a man with a lot of troops, but he also has to be timid in Ruzhou.

Because there is also a right counselor in Ruzhou, Tan Zhengling, who was sent by Xuanmo, the governor of Henan, to guard the military affairs of Ruzhou.

This Tan Zhengling has given Chen Zhibang a headache since he arrived in Ruzhou, because this person is dishonest...

Tan Zhengling wanted to be promoted through meritorious service, so he asked Chen Zhibang to suppress the thieves every three days. In the past few months, he forced Chen Zhibang to lead his elite cavalry and fight with a group of thieves' elite cavalry, causing Chen Zhibang to lose dozens of his elite cavalry.

, but it made Chen Zhibang extremely heartbroken.

But even so, Chen Zhibang didn't just accompany Mr. Tan with a smile...

Because Tan Zhengling is a serious fourth-grade red-robed civil servant and deeply trusted by Xuan Mo, the governor of Henan.

And there are rumors that this person is about to be promoted...

Many officials in Ruzhou are not surprised by this. After more than half a year of contact, everyone has gained some understanding of Tan Zhengling. This officer is so happy about his success, should he let Chen Zhibang and the others suppress the thieves and then report the victory to the superiors?

At the same time, he is willing to search for money, and he is even more willing to spend money.

It’s normal for this kind of person to get promoted.

However, once this person continues to rise, he is likely to become Chen Zhibang's real immediate boss.

Because Tan Zhengling had served as the prefect of a certain place before and was now the right councilor. He also guarded the military affairs of Ruzhou. By guarding the military affairs of Ruzhou, he gained a reputation as a knowledgeable soldier. It is said that he was highly appreciated by his superiors...<

/p>

If this person really continues to rise, according to the unspoken rules for official promotion in the Ming Dynasty in recent decades, plus his so-called military knowledge, he will probably be changed to deputy envoy of inspection, and at least he will also add the sentence "patrol"

A certain place, supervising a certain army.

And there is a high probability that they will patrol Ruzhou, Nanyang and other places, and at the same time supervise the troops of Chen Zhibang and Chen Yongfu.

In other words, if this person is promoted, maybe he will really become Chen Zhibang's immediate boss.

If this person is more lucky and gets credit for suppressing bandits during his tenure, he might be able to become the censor of Qiandu and patrol Henan.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

When the time comes, not to mention Chen Zhibang, even arrogant generals like Zuo Liangyu will have to lie down obediently and listen to Tan Zhengling's lectures.

By the way, during this series of promotions, Tan Zhengling's grade will not change at all, and he will always be a fourth grade.

When he was the prefect, he was a fourth-rank official, and now he is also a fourth-rank official when he is the right counselor. Subsequently, he was promoted step by step to the deputy envoy of inspection and censor, and he was still a fourth-rank official.

However, although they are all of the fourth rank, the difference between the fourth rank is very big. The status of officials in the Ming Dynasty cannot be judged solely by their ratings. After all, only academicians are of the fifth rank. But, the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty

Guys, I am referring to these bachelors who are no more than fifth-rank officials.

As for those who are only the fifth-grade bachelors and bachelors, they can often directly serve as ministers of various ministries.

Chen Zhibang's current immediate boss, Xuan Mo, the governor of Henan Province, is only a fourth-grade censor of Qiandu. Going further, this person's rank is even lower, and he is just a seventh-grade official.

The examiner of the next meeting.

But, look at what the official position of the seventh rank is? Li Ke Ge Shi Zhong, the famous Ke Dao Yan Guan!

Back then, all I wanted to do was compete with the powerful party...

By the way, he is still a room master who was awarded Jinshi in the fourth year of Chongzhen.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, to judge the status of officials, it was useless to simply look at their grades. It had to be based on their dispatch.

This is still the case within the civil service, let alone the grades between civil and military officials, which is even less comparable.

Even if he is a second-grade or first-grade general with real power and a large number of troops, he must obey the orders of the governor who only has a fourth-grade officer.

As for those military generals who do not have heavy troops at hand and are just showy, they are even more inferior than civil servants. A seventh-grade county magistrate with a Jinshi background can easily control them.

It is precisely because of this huge difference between civil and military affairs that Chen Zhibang is always polite to Tan Zhengling.

Huang Guangmao, who was at the bottom, was also angry at Wang Jida, the magistrate of Lushan County, but dared not speak out. He was just trying to delay it in various ways.

He didn't want to offend Wang Jida, but he also didn't want to foolishly fail to make any preparations and just go into the mountains to die.

So Huang Guangmao has been having a hard time these days. On the one hand, he has to bear the pressure from Wang Jida, and at the same time, he has to save the army and his own life.

He wanted to delay as much time as possible until Chen Zhibang's reply.

He needs to wait for Chen Zhibang's reply and corresponding treatment before he can decide his next move.

If Chen Zhibang really plans to encircle and suppress the Funiu Mountain bandits, then reinforcements will come, and then he will just follow the trend.

If Chen Zhibang does not intend to encircle and suppress, then there is a high probability that he will not send reinforcements. If Chen Zhibang does not send reinforcements, Huang Guangmao is incapable and does not have enough troops under his command to encircle and suppress the bandits in Funiu Mountain.

Just drive them away.

It just takes time to wait for the news, and Wang Jida is urging him urgently. This makes Huang Guangmao very irritable.

After two days of being so uncomfortable, Huang Guangmao finally waited for Chen Zhibang's reply.

But after reading the reply, Huang Guangmao was in a bad mood.

Chen Zhibang said that there are many thieves in Ruzhou now, and he has to be busy killing thieves everywhere, so there are no reinforcements for Huang Guangmao for the time being.

And asked Huang Guangmao to first investigate the strength of the Funiu Mountain bandit army. If the bandit army is not strong, just expel it directly. Well, you can expel it to the west or south. The west is the territory of Henan Prefecture and the south is the territory of Nanyang Prefecture. Put these

The thieves rushed over and let Chen Yongfu, Zuo Liangyu and others handle it.

If the rebel army is too strong, then slow down, stop, and discuss it later...

In short, don't count on reinforcements. The other troops under Chen Zhibang are very busy now.

Tan Zhengling asked him every three days to send troops to encircle and suppress the refugees in the hinterland of Ruzhou, saying that it was to protect the country and the people, but Tan Zhengling almost told him clearly: I am waiting for a large number of people to be promoted, so be smart and don't delay my work.

!

Tan Zhengling wants a large number of heads from the so-called bandit army to be promoted. Under such circumstances, if Chen Zhibang mobilizes a large number of troops to go to the mountains to fight with those old thieves, he probably won't be able to get a few heads in ten days and a half. By then, Tan Zhengling

Don't get angry.

Therefore, a large number of troops under Chen Zhibang now have to hang around in the hinterland of Ruzhou to encircle and suppress the bandits who are easy to produce results.

What, you said that the main force of bandits has crossed the river and moved south, and now there are no large-scale bandits in Ruzhou for him to fight.

How is this possible? Didn’t you see that wherever the army passed, thieves were springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain?
