Chapter 101 Battle
Zhaoqing, Guangdong and Guangxi Governor’s Office.
Before the sky was bright, half an hour ago, the fast horse from Xiangshan called to open the city gate. He took the governor's waist card and entered the governor's yamen at night. After the guests entered the yamen, the gate was closed. Even the most trusted family soldiers in Xiangshan were placed outside the yamen, and only Chen Mu entered the mansion.
The candle in the governor's mansion was lit all night, and the old servant changed the wax three times. When the last time he reopened the candle, the owner was wearing a single dress and carrying his hands in the courtyard, looking at the full moon. The guests in the room sat on the desk with their backs, bowing their heads and looking at what they were looking at.
Chen Mu was looking at the map. There was a large map on the table in front of him, which he was very familiar with.
Deng Zilong's teacher Luo Hongxian once painted a map of Guangdong. This picture is similar, and it is also Guangdong. The difference is that it is not a prefecture or county as a mark, but a garage.
The South China Sea, Chaozhou, Leizhou, Hainan, Qingyuan, Huizhou, Zhaoqing, Guanghai... are densely packed, forming the organization of more than 67,000 guards in Guangdong, and all the forces are on this picture.
His official position was decided, but Zhang Han had the final say on where to get the actual assignment.
Zhang Han asked him to see it and let him take a closer look. No matter where he wanted to go, even if he could transfer the original commander, he could do it, and he was the commander who controlled the real power of the guard.
Chen Mu knew Zhang Han. This old military sect was reluctant to govern, and he didn't know how to fight. However, he was a politician with a sophisticated way of speaking. Even if he appreciated Chen Mu, he would not make such a fierce decision.
This is abnormal.
The well-renovated wooden door was pushed open with almost no sound. Instead, the cloth-soled official boots were deliberately stepped on the ground to make Chen Mu notice that someone was coming in behind him, and turned to Zhang Han.
As he stood up and bowed, Zhang Han waved his hands weakly, his beard and hair were pale, making his already aging look even more depressed. Behind Zhang Han, a servant brought a pot of hot fish soup on the table. Chen Mu heard Zhang Han ask, "Have you thought about it, where are you going?"
"I want to go..." Chen Mu pursed his lips slightly, bowed his hands, his spine was straight but he bowed his head: "Guanghai."
The old man sighed long, "Guanghai, where is Guanghai? If the soldiers are gone, the city will be collapsed by you. But guarding Xiangshan Haojing, you can only have the power of Xiangshan, and the new governor, how can you give you time to show your skills?"
Zhang Han ignored Chen Mu, whose eyes were wide and shocked, shook his head and said, "Change another one, go to a place where there are no thieves and no war. You are still young, three or five years, and it will be another great situation."
"Governor General, you want to be transferred? New, new governor, why is this?"
Chen Mu didn't understand why Zhang Han asked him to choose a place casually, and even if he transferred the original commander, he had to arrange it for him. This was something he didn't have to think about. He must have wanted to stay in Xiangshan. Zhang Han wouldn't know, and he thought it was something wrong at the time.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Han intended to arrange a way out for him before transferring.
The key to the matter is that Zhang Han doesn't look like he is going to be promoted to a key position in the middle of Beijing.
"It's cold at night, so you're riding all the way, and you're losing your composure to your work. Drink soup." Zhang Han was energetic, but he was worried, so he looked tired. After sitting down, he stroked the Shiyan Dahao on the table, waved his hand and told Chen Mu not to be offended, and said, "There's a lot of people talking. You want to hear that there's time to say, don't make a fuss, drink soup first."
No need to make a fuss. How could Chen Mu be calm in this way?
A month ago, he taught him how to write eight-legged essays. In a blink of an eye, he became the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he looked depressed. At this time, what Chen Mu was concerned about was no longer his transfer to Xiangshan, other garrisons, and what should he do about Haojing? But what happened?
What exactly happened can make Zhang Han, who held the power of the two countries and the vast majority, feel lost like this.
"I want to report to the court that I resigned and returned home. The reason was three people, second assistant Zhang Taiyue, Yingtian Governor Hai Gangfeng, and Guangdong Governor Zhou Yunxiang."
Zhang Hanxu said, but Chen Mu couldn't understand. He knew that Zhang Taiyue was Zhang Juzheng, who he was eager to get in touch with, and now he was ranked second. Hai Gangfeng was Hai Qingtian Hai Rui, and he was just released from Governor Ying Tian this year. But Chen Mu didn't understand how these two people were related to Zhou Yunxiang.
Zhou Yunxiang was a Guangdong general in the past. This year, Guangdong police rebelled when they were on guard against Zeng Yiben and killed Geng Zongyuan, who was guarding Lei Qiong. They wanted to respond to Zeng Yiben, but Zeng San Lao was killed by Chen Mu before he even escaped from Lingdingyang. Zhou Yunxiang, who came to meet, had no way out and was exiled overseas and disappeared.
How could such a person get in touch with those two?
"The second assistant always intends to use Hai Rui. At that time, the old master Xu was in charge of the position. After finally reinstated his post, he pointed at the old master and scolded him for being greedy. This year, the second assistant advised the important officials from all over the country to recommend three capable officials to His Majesty. I chose Haigangfeng as he liked."
When it comes to meeting his preferences, Zhang Han didn't care at all, and said for granted: "If you are valued, you will offend others. Do you know what official is best to do as an official?"
Chen Mu smiled and was about to talk about military officers, but he heard Zhang Han say, "It's a censor, and it's best to do it, because no matter whether you are a military officer, even the second auxiliary and chief assistant, even General Zhu will be scolded by the censor, but the censor will not scold himself."
General Zhu is talking about Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty.
"Wu is dereliction of duty and is in prison, and the position of a censor is in his mouth, and he speaks as he pleases, and he only wants to scold him or not."
"In July, the court discussed that I was wronged and I was impeached and removed from office. The second assistant said that I was going to be demoted and transferred to another place. I once sent a message to the capital that you shot and killed me. I was exempted from being wronged and ordered to arrest Zhou Yunxiang."
"The vast sea is boundless and Yu Zhifu can't catch him. What can I do? Haha!"
Zhang Han chuckled and waved his sleeves over the table, "The assistant has already spoken. Since I can't do anything, I must know the current affairs. The old man has written the book, and I have never suffered any loss in the generals of Guangdong. I will only be protected by you. In March, I will report the book to you. In this period, I will settle down your Chen Erlang and make a mistake."
Zhang Han didn't say it too much, and didn't explain everything inside to Chen Mu, but he probably understood what was going on.
Zhang Juzheng wanted to reuse Hai Rui, but Zhang Han agreed, but some people disagreed. Originally, Zeng Yipeng, the reputation of Guangdong, declined in Zhang Han's reputation in the court. With Zhang Juzheng's help, Chen Mu quickly killed Zeng Yipeng, which was to retain the position of governor, otherwise he would have been transferred long ago.
This time, Zhou Yunxiang was just an inconsistency fuse. When Yan Lu attacked him as a target, it became a big deal. However, Zhou Yunxiang could not catch him in exile at the sea, so the matter was tied to death.
Chen Mu has no experience in dealing with such things, and will not think around and around. The only feasible way in his mind that he could repay Zhang Han's kindness for knowing his grace was to go straight to it - to catch Zhou Yunxiang.
"The military has some worries, and the worry is that it cannot capture Zhou Yunxiang. It may be a good job for the minions of hawks and dogs."
Chen Mu, who was holding hands, thought that he was just a person who didn't know the current affairs. He didn't believe him and refused to accept it. Even if he didn't say goodwill, at this stage, only Zhang Han was sitting in the position of governor, which allowed him to perform his skills better, let alone Zhang Han had a good understanding of him.
He said: "I am a low-ranking military service, and fight for it!"
"Strike?"
"That's enough with you."
Zhang Han looked at Chen Mu and shook his head and smiled. He looked at him, smiled beside him, looked at him, smiled beside him, and repeated three times, with both comfort and sorrow. Finally, he sighed and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When you go back, think carefully about where to take office. I will make my last decision to retire, no one will refute it."
Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao named himself Zhu Shou, the Ministry of War was archived, and was granted the title of Duke of Zhenguo. His official position was: General General of Governor General of Military Affairs.
