Chapter 142 Apologize
Ding Qirui had no choice. If Gao Huan rebels, he would be implicated.
Therefore, in order to stabilize Gao Huan, Ding Qirui could only turn the Chi Beijun's unauthorized action this time into a mobilization he instructed.
Ding Qirui completed the procedures for the transfer of Chi Bei Army. After Gao Huan won the rebellion or attack the gentry of Xuzhou. He used the government's means to solve the problem, he entered Xuzhou City.
In order to appease Gao Huan, after Ding Qirui entered the city, he ordered the governor of Xuzhou to open the city gate, let Gao Huan enter the city, and handed over the Xuzhou city defense to Gao Huan.
Ding Qirui was the governor, the governor of Xuzhou and the soldiers in the city were all under his control. With his order, Xuzhou could only act according to the order.
Originally, the Chibei Army was dispatched to besiege Xuzhou without authorization, but Ding Qirui said that it would be ordered to take over the defense of Xuzhou City, assist in the defense of Xuzhou City, and prevent the attack on the enemy from seizing the city. It would act without authorization, become a legal action, and send Gao Huan a state for free.
With the order of the governor, the governor of Xuzhou could only order the city to open, and Gao Huan immediately led the Chibei army into the city and took over the defense of Xuzhou.
After this operation, Chi Bei and others were amazed.
Xuzhou City, Prefecture Yamane.
Ding Qirui was very upset after doing all this, but he had no choice. He had just been defeated and was still guilty and was punished. He had reported the emperor to the emperor and must not have any more trouble.
At this time, Ding Qirui was sitting in the hall, feeling a little depressed. Judging from the brief meeting with Gao Huan, he understood that polite Gao Huan was a huge hidden danger for himself.
But for now, he could only stabilize Gao Huan first, wait until he recovered his strength, and then find a suitable opportunity to tame Gao Huan, or completely solve this hidden danger.
The Chi Bei Army entered the city and took over the defense of the four gates. They still conducted strict investigations on the grounds of preventing thieves, prohibiting money, grain and materials from leaving the city.
At this time, Gao Huan entered the city and took a large number of guards to the Xuzhou Yamen.
This time, he sent troops to surround Xuzhou, which was his counterattack against Hou Fangyu, and also a test of Ding Qirui. He also conveyed a message to Ding Qirui, that although Chi Bei accepted the recruitment, he could not be mobilized or controlled at will.
Those who can become governors are smart people. Gao Huan believes that Ding Qirui will understand what he means, and will not be condescending in the future, give orders to himself, nor will he issue some orders that he obviously cannot accept, which will embarrass him.
If Gao Huan had dared to threaten the governor a few years ago, he would have angered the court and the governor and sent troops to deal with him. But now the situation is different. The riots of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng caused the ruling ability of the Ming Dynasty to decline rapidly, and its binding force on the local and military has decreased, and it is no longer able to restrain the army.
Now it is not only Gao Huan, but also Zuo Liangyu and other Ming generals are not very obedient, but the Ming court can only endure it.
Because the court's finances went bankrupt and the military pay could not be paid, and the generals were forced to rebel, the court could only throw themselves into a jealous way.
It was because Gao Huan saw the weakness of the Ming Dynasty's dominance that he dared to threaten Ding Qirui.
However, Ding Qirui is the governor after all, and may not be willing to do so. To be on the safe side, Gao Huan should bring more guards to avoid being ambushed and killed.
At this time, Gao Huan led the guards into the prefecture yamen. The guards stayed outside the hall, and only brought Qi Dazhu and Xu Heihu into the lobby to salute Ding Qirui, "I thank the Governor for his fulfillment!"
This time, Gao Huan bowed his waist very low and buried his head between his arms. Seeing this, Ding Qirui stood up, walked forward, shook his sleeves and showed his white and tender hands, and supported Gao Huan in a solid manner, and said seriously: "This time, I will assist in defense. Next time the general dispatches troops, can I notify the supervisor first?"
Gao Huan won Xuzhou and took a big advantage. Naturally, he wanted to give Ding Qirui face. He hurriedly saluted and looked sincere, "Governor Xian for forgiveness! This time it was a humble position, Meng Lang, and in the future, he was determined to be the leader of the military commander Xian, and he would no longer act without authorization!"
Ding Qirui felt a little better, but he still asked: "The general has obtained Xuzhou, so he will not go to other prefectures and counties to assist in defense, right?"
"Not!" Gao Huan shook his head quickly, looked serious, and patted his chest to promise, "I will stop working in Xuzhou and will never touch other prefectures and counties."
After receiving Gao Huan's guarantee, Ding Qirui exhaled, walked back to his seat, and then said to Gao Huan in a deep voice: "Since the general has accepted the recruitment, he must abide by the rules of the court in the future. When being a bandit, he should use the methods of being a bandit to solve the problem. As an official, he must use the means of an official to make others unable to find fault, otherwise this governor will not be able to protect you. Do you understand?"
Gao Huan understood Ding Qirui's hint, which was to remind him that after accepting the recruitment, he would be an official, and let him use the means of an official, at least the means of making the court unable to find fault in order to resolve the conflict between him and Hou Fangyu. If the rules are not followed, he will definitely be kicked out of the system, and the recruitment will be invalidated.
Gao Huan understood Ding Qirui's reminder and respectfully clasped his fists, "I thanked Du Xian for his advice, Du Xian rest assured, Du Xian knows what to do!"
Ding Qirui said, "I said nothing. Since you understand, I will hand over Xuzhou to you!"
After saying that, Ding Qirui stood up and took his subordinates away from Xuzhou to return to Kaifeng to prevent the merchants from coming to him.
This time he asked Gao Huan to enter Xuzhou, which was equivalent to having a bond with those people. If he stayed in Xuzhou, those people would think that he was messing with them. He didn't want to fall too deep, so he got Gao Huan's guarantee and left Xuzhou immediately.
Inside the city, the Marquis' Mansion.
Ding Qirui asked Xuzhou to open the city gate and let Chi Bei's army enter the city, completely defeating everyone's confidence.
"Ding Qirui actually dared to take the blame, put the Chi Thief into the city, and handed over the city. I want to tell the head of the family to participate in his book!"
"Yes! You must study his book!"
"What are you participating in? The Chi Thief accepted the recruitment. Now it is an official army. Ding Qirui has already said that this is a normal mobilization. The Chi Thief was ordered by him to enter Xuzhou to prevent the thieves. This is reasonable. How do you participate in him? Besides, he is the governor, and the Ding family also has power in the court. This matter cannot be brought down a governor at all!"
The businessman was depressed, and a businessman sighed, "Now the situation has changed, we lost, Gao Huan won, this is the final result! It is meaningless to say anything else now. The key is what we should do, how can we resolve the crisis and reduce losses."
Many businessmen nodded and looked at Hou Zongze. Hou Zongze frowned, "What do you think I'm doing? I'm just being instructed by the young master. Besides, everyone joined voluntarily at the beginning, and this can't be solved by handing over me."
Everyone in the hall was silent for a moment, and a businessman said in a deep voice: "No matter what, the Hou family takes the lead, and only the Hou family can resolve this matter. I think it is Hou butler, who represents us, but finds Gao Huan and give in to him!"
"If you want to go, you will go by yourself. I won't ask Gao Huan anyway!" Hou Zongze turned his face. He was the manager of the Hou family, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. He was the housekeeper and had a greater face. Even if the prefect saw him, he had to be polite, so he could let him down and apologize to Gao Huan.
"What should I do? Let's wait for death together!" a businessman said annoyed.
Hou Zongze didn't listen at all. The Hou family didn't have much goods, so why should he go?
Everyone discussed for a while, and finally decided to send a small merchant to sell the goods to Gao Huan at a low price. Everyone hid behind their backs, and the matter passed.
Gao Huan wanted to do business and stay in the court, but he would not really offend them to death.
