Before Zhou Zheng could respond, Fang Yizao was shocked and said, "Is what you said is true?"
No wonder Fang Yizao was shocked. There was a chaos in the northwest. Two prime ministers of the five provinces, one Ding You, and one imprisoned, who would guard him in the northwest
Although both Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were wiped out, the root cause of the civil unrest has not been resolved. Without the guard of the generals, at such a critical moment that urgently needs to be suppressed, there will be troubles!
Although Zhou Zheng was shocked, he was not surprised. He shook his head in his heart and said, "Where are Zhang Xianzhong and others now?"
As soon as Zhou Zheng got Zhang Xianzhong's surrender, he ordered the Military Intelligence Department to escort him back to Beijing, with the assistance of some cavalry from Cao Bianjiao.
Chu Jin said: "According to the orders of the adults, Zhang Xianzhong and the heads of the rogues were all taken to the capital. The rest of the people who were not accused of serious crimes were directly sentenced to the border and sent to Jizhou. Now, it should be there."
Zhou Zheng was relieved. After thinking and thinking, he said with emotion: "Well, I'll write a memo to the court, Northwest, I'm afraid it will be upset again."
Fang Yizao was also full of worries, saying: "What the adults worry about is that the lower officials are more worried about the court. Six books, including the three books of the Ministry of War, are missing three. The lower officials also heard rumors that Yuanfu angered the emperor, and his status was shaky. It's going to start again."
Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "Let's leave these alone, let's get rid of Jianlu first."
Fang Yizao listened and said, "Then, my lord, those two thousand horses?"
Zhou Zheng said directly: "War horses are a good thing, so I can't waste it. Transfer them to Dongjiang Town and let them train me two thousand elite cavalry!"
Fang Yizao originally wanted to refuse, not to be involved with Jianlu, and to give them a chance to make a mistake. Listening to Zhou Zheng's words, he also felt that two thousand was not a small number. Go and arrange!"
As soon as he was about to leave, Zhou Zheng suddenly said again: "Governor Fang, Liaodong is complicated and the army is uneven. This officer plans to build a military academy to identify and promote capable generals; secondly, it is also to train talents, and I will reserve talents. Now that the board is off the board today, chaos is everywhere, we must take precautions..."
Fang Yizao was worried at first, and he didn't feel weird when he heard what Zhou Zheng said. He sighed and said, "What the lord said is. Liaodong really needs to be rectified, and the next official will follow the arrangements that the adult said."
Zhou Zheng hummed and looked at Chu Jin and said, "Let all parties send the above list of participants first."
Chu Jin raised his hand and said, "Yes."
With this arrangement, Zhou Zheng sat down in Jinzhou, watching the changes everywhere.
In addition to sending two thousand horses, Huang Taiji did not move, but the behavior of withdrawing troops was very obvious.
Fan Wenchen was restricted from moving, but communication was not blocked. He also knew that Huang Taiji had decided to withdraw his troops. He looked pleased. He was not angry at all because he was detained by Zhou Zheng and Huang Taiji left him alone. He didn't even have the slightest grudge.
On the third day, the retreat of the troops became more obvious, and Zhou Zheng brought Fang Yizao to Fan Wenchen's room with a smile on his face.
As soon as Fan Wenchen was about to raise his hand to see him, Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, this officer heard that Mr. Fan has extraordinary chess skills, and I am here to ask for advice.
Fan Wenchen's eyes were wary, and he responded with a smile, and said, "My lord laughed."
As a result, the two of them didn't agree with each other and sat down on the couch to play a game.
Not long after walking, Fan Wenchen lightly raised his head to look at Zhou Zheng with a strange expression.
Zhou Zheng's chess power is average!
If Zhou Zheng hadn't noticed it, he happily pinched the chess pieces, stared at the board, and was immersed in his thoughts.
Fang Yizao sat aside, seeing clearly, very puzzled.
This Master Supervisor is from a scholarly family who has passed the Juren exam. Why is this chess player inferior to a teenage boy
His father was a senior high school scholar, and he was also ranked as a servant of the household department. It stands to reason that the tutor shouldn't be like this
Fan Wenchen played a few hands, probably guessed it, and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, won't you just come to me to play chess today?"
Zhou Zheng fell and said: "Huangtaiji’s nap is about to run away. I wondered that a big city should be built to the north of Youtun, not far from Shenyang, as the foundation and springboard for the future Pingliao, Mr. Fan. Where do you think it fits?"
Fan Wenchen took up the tea cup beside him leisurely and said, "Master Zhou thinks I will tell you?"
Zhou Zheng also straightened up, looked at Fan Wenchen, and said with emotion: "If Fan Wenzheng had the mind of Mr. Fan's ancestor, and surrendered to the enemy gang early, then there would be nothing wrong with the Song Dynasty... Mr. Fan, too. Are you ashamed of your ancestors?"
Fan Wenchen's expression became stiff, and immediately smiled more, and said, "At this moment and then, Lord Zhou is here to express his tongue?"
Zhou Zheng gently shook his head and said: "No skin and no face, once this person loses his bottom line, his reputation and integrity are all clouds... Mr. Fan, where do you think Feng Shui is better?"
Fang Yizao listened, staring at Fan Wenchen with an indifferent expression, and said, "What feng shui is needed at sea! My lord, I just chopped it and feed the dog, I'm afraid the dog is still too dirty and refuses to eat!"
Fan Wenchen looked at Zhou Zheng for a moment, slowly put down his teacup, and said: "Why Lord Zhou always hold life and death threats? Is Fan a person who is afraid of death?"
Zhou Zheng raised his brows and turned to Fang Yizao with a smile: "Master Fang, did you hear me? Mr. Fan is a man of spine."
Fang Yizao had already murdered Fan Wenchen and said with a sneer: "The dignified people of the heavenly dynasty, let the barbarians kneel down and be slaves. What are you talking about?"
Fan Wenchen did it on his own without paying attention.
Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "I almost forgot. We, Mr. Fan, are the leader of Jiankui, the head of civil servants. We must know a lot of secrets. Master Fang, do you know how to use torture to extract a confession?"
Fan Wenchen's face suddenly changed slightly, and his eyes were horrified.
These fell in Fang Yizao's eyes, and Fang Yizao stood up and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, your lord, although the lower officials don't understand, there are some who do, and the lower officials promise to let him vomit everything cleanly!"
Fan Wenchen's face was stiff, looking at Zhou Zheng, he tried his best to conceal his panic and said, "Master Zhou, you and I are both scholars, do you not leave me the last decent face?"
Fan Wenchen, a scholar, knows where he has resisted a severe punishment!
Zhou Zheng picked up the chess piece and said, "Your decentness is building a captive. What do you have in my Ming? Governor Fang, let someone take it out. All the conditions I want to build a captive, including population, food, acres, military strength, and The relationship with Mongolia, etc., no matter how big or small, the official wants it!"
Fan Wenchen slammed his teeth, the corners of his face kept twitching, and his nose kept emitting white gas.
Fang Yizao, no matter how angry and fright Fan Wenchen was, he directly dragged Fan Wenchen out and prepared to be tortured to extract a confession.
Zhou Zheng stood up from the couch, patted his clothes and said, "Tell Yang Guozhu, keep an eye on Jian prisoners until they are sure that Jian prisoners will withdraw and come back. Send a letter to Li Weiluan, asking him to be ready, and the officer will be north of the Daling River. , Build another Jinzhou City!"
Just as Fang Yizao was about to answer, Chu Jin came in from outside and said, "My lord, there is a letter from Shanhaiguan. The angel has arrived at Shanhaiguan. It is probably the decree that the adults send troops to Pingliao."
Fang Yizao frowned, Liaodong didn't have enough strength to ping Liao, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng looked at the south and said with a smile: "When the angels arrive, we will accept the order as usual. However, sending troops to Ping Liao requires a lot of money and food. Governor Fang, you and I will play together, and ask the court to appropriate the payment of the outstanding salary this year and next year. Plus the flat rate of silver, the total is 1.5 million taels."
Fang Yizao listened and said with a smile: "My lord is smart!"
In the Northwest Battle of the Ming Dynasty, the national treasury was overdrawn for more than three years, and I wanted to spend another 1.5 million taels. That could only be in a dream. (End of this chapter)
