Chapter 747: Calm down
The conference was held as scheduled, and the arrival was silent regardless of the bad weather, which gave the She clan elders great confidence, which was more effective than any promise. After successfully witnessing the signing of the Hui merchants and Yihongba Villages, Panshigong held a grand banquet to celebrate the newness of the millions of She ethnic groups.
Amidst the laughter and joy, a sergeant covered in snow suddenly walked in and handed a small bamboo tube hidden close to Chen Si.
The hall was quiet, and everyone was watching the small bamboo tube... What could get the messenger to chase here must be important emergency information.
Chen Si knew what this was. According to time, the results of Dingnan had already come out, but his heartbeat was still fast, his fingers were trembling, and he twisted several times without opening the seal. The people around him were really anxious...
Apologetically smiled, he picked up a towel and wiped the sweat all over his hands, finally opened the seal, and took out the thin letter paper inside. He took a deep breath in silence, took a look at the umbrella, and handed it to the Panshigong beside him. He picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened, trying to calm down, but his hands trembled uncontrollably and spilled a piece of the front.
Fortunately, everyone's eyes were attracted by Panshigong at this time. The old man was holding the piece of paper, his lips moved slightly, and his face was very complicated.
"Mr. Shi, what is the news?" Since Master Jinglei showed it to Mr. Pan Shi, it was naturally open to it, so everyone asked curiously.
Pan Shigong calmed down and squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "The government army wiped out more than 20,000 people from Lai Qinggui's troops yesterday morning. Lai Qinggui died in the chaos. More than 100 leaders from Lai Qingchuan were surrendered." As he said, he sighed with a complicated relationship, "The big leader that has been entrenched in southern Jiangxi for many years has been completely destroyed..."
The reaction was exactly the same as the old man. When the old people heard this, they did not show an ecstatic expression, but they did not feel as if they were mourning her, and they just fell into silence.
Silence did not feel anything wrong. After all, Lai Qinggui and his gang are their tribes, and even many people have innate closeness in their relationships. This is impossible to exchange for any means and money. But Lai Qinggui really troubled their lives. His rebellious behavior brought a long-term war here, making the mountain people's already difficult life, and even more unable to do anything for Xu... Who has no relatives who starved to death? Who has no male slaughtered in the war disaster? Therefore, the She people have a very complicated feeling about Lai Qinggui's death. If you insist on using one word, it would be more appropriate to say that it is relieved.
At this time, silent stood up with a glass of wine and said aloud: "Everyone, since the bandits are killed, the stability is not far away. We can finally get rid of the nightmare of more than ten years and look forward together!" As he said that, he raised his glass and said: "Happy life is waiting for us!"
Yes, look forward, let the nightmare end, and let the happy life come soon. Under the leadership of Mr. Panshi, the old men raised their glasses and drank this glass of celebration wine full of ups and downs. They did not congratulate the government army, but also paid tribute to the future!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a few days of consideration, Mr. Panshi agreed to the request of silence and embarked on the road to Gaosha with He Xinyin; silence also sent a congratulatory letter to the front-line troops that had won great victory, and at the same time asked them to take down Gaosha with all their courage and completely eliminate the three nests.
Facts have proved that Chen Mo and his think tank were right to judge, and the destruction of the Lai Qinggui bandit gang, which occupied 70% of the troops and 60% of the territory, caused a devastating blow to Xie Yunzhang, Jiang Yueyao and others.
The most realistic dilemma is that Lai Qinggui, who attracted most of the enemies, faced with the government troops coming from all directions, they even lost the courage to fight to the death. Therefore, the arrival of Panshi Gong and He Xinyin became the last straw that crushed the shame, which made them finally decide to negotiate with the government troops after repeated hesitation.
But the situation has reversed, and the government army has an extremely tough attitude and does not accept any negotiations. They must put down their weapons and disband the team in order to grant the promised official titles and ensure their property and safety.
Panshi Gong's birth was a little worried, which would anger Xie Yunzhang and the others, but this Jingliu Mansion was issued by Jingliu Mansion, so it was impossible to change. Because of the silence and cold eyes, in the two months after Lai Qinggui was attacked, Xie Yunzhang and Jiang Yueyao did not have any assistance, and they even had no help to provoke the war in Gaosha and share the pressure for them. This shows that the two have lost their ambition and fighting spirit. Appropriate but not excessive stimulation will not arouse their resistance, but will instead put huge pressure on them.
As a result, his judgment was correct. After several fierce attacks by Liu Xian, Xie and Jiang completely collapsed, and finally announced their unconditional surrender on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month of the 43rd year of Jiajing. The scene of the two tied themselves barefoot and kneeling to Liu Xian in the snow and ice, which would be long-lasting in the minds of the people of southern Gansu, making those restless people put aside their ambitions and obediently become good people under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amid the joyful gongs and drums, Chen Si brought a group of civil servants and tens of thousands of kilograms of wine and meat to the army camp to enjoy it.
The three generals were dressed in bright armor and greeted them happily. When they saw silence, they all performed great rituals! "I will never let down the commander-in-chief!"
"Hahaha..." Silent laughed loudly, "God of generals, please get up quickly, this battle was beautiful!"
"It depends on the command of the master!" The three of them said in unison: "We dare not take credit for it."
"Don't be humble." Chen Mo personally helped them up, holding Liu Xian with one hand and Yu Dayou with the other, and walked into the big tent intimately.
Entering the tent, he sat silently on the main seat. Four guards in brocade clothes held imperial edicts, seals, flags, and swords in their hands, symbolizing the majesty of the Southeast Jingshi Tianshoumu. Liu Xian led more than 100 generals of all sizes and big and small gathered in the tent and paid a visit to the Lord Jingshi again.
Looking at the generals silently, he was very happy and laughed in unison: "There are only two things in the Japanese officials who come to the camp today. One is to reward the throne of the emperor! The other is to drink and celebrate the wine with you!"
The generals were so happy that they suppressed their excitement when they heard this. They listened to the silent reading of the reward. The speed of suppressing the rebellion was completely beyond the imagination of the court...... They originally expected to suppress the rebellion in three years, but in just one year, they all suppressed the three nests and basically pacified southern Jiangxi. Therefore, the emperor was very happy, and the rewards proposed by the cabinet were also particularly generous...
The first one to be rewarded was Hu Yong, who made the first contribution, who was promoted from the banner to Qianhu, and promoted to five levels in a row; the second one was Qi Jimei, who captured Li Zhen, who was promoted from Wei Zhenfu to commander, and was also called "one family and two commanders".
The other generals were promoted to one to two levels according to their official ranks. Senior officers also received the power to empower one child, so naturally everyone was happy and everyone was satisfied.
After the reward was completed, Chen Si ordered everyone to sit in sequence, announce the music of the banquet, and the wine came up like flowing water. The generals of the military put the cups in turn, offering rewards, and the silent one was not disappointed. After drinking for a few consecutive rounds, they were already a little drunk. At this time, the Jiangxi governor Ma Pi stood up and said to a civil servant: "You are all well-educated people. When you celebrate this celebration, why not present a good seal to the Lord to record the victory for a while?"
Silent nodded and smiled, "Good."
All the officials also said, "Good!" Then there were a group of civil officials such as governors, governors, and inspectors, and Yu Yin and Shen Mingchen, who were competing to present poems: such as, "The pine trees in the mountains swayed around the flags, and the troops stationed in the south of the tribe. I received a letter from the feathers and knew that the thief was broken, and the thief was playing Go at the foot of Longtou Mountain." This is the master of Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Psalm Ps
There are also those "the crowds of evil forces are at once, and the vast ocean is clear and the mountains are clear.
The marshal is worried about not having a tiger general, and he is in charge of three generals. This is a praise for the three generals; of course, most of them are still silence, such as the scarf and laughter, and only one or two pioneers are used. He is awarded the title of marquis for thousands of miles, and the title of golden seal is great for thousands of miles, and the title of new balls for thousands of games is new. He said that silence has made great contributions, which is enough to be awarded marquis and ministers.
Listening to these false and real flatteries, Chen Si nodded and smiled. After almost everyone finished playing, he stood up with a wine glass. Everyone thought he wanted to show his poetry, but Chen Si walked around the table and laughed loudly: "The masters' masters' masters are very famous. I am stupid and lucky to win. It all depends on the emperor's blessings and the chief assistant has good plans. The generals fought bravely to kill the enemy. The scorpion helped me. What are my contributions?" Everyone said that he was humble. Chen Si shook his head and said sincerely: "This is not self-modestness. Mun is a scholar, not both civil and military. He is still good at managing government affairs in the country. He is really powerless in military affairs." He smiled bitterly, holding Ma Pi's shoulder and said: "Since coming to southern Jiangxi, he has always been trembling and worried, and he has no day to rest. I am exhausted and unable to continue. Fortunately, God has guaranteed that it has not leaked, and it has finally reached its end. It depends on all the masters!"
There was a silence in the tent, and everyone listened quietly to Master Jinglei's words. Many people were very surprised and thought to himself, what's wrong with Master, what's wrong with Master, saying something depressed on such a happy day? Only Yu Yin, Shen Mingchen and other few people, as if they had some understanding, could not help but nod in secret, saying that this person has come to this day and is indeed not lucky!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why did Chen Si say those words at the celebration banquet? Of course, it was carefully considered. He knew that his status and power today were no longer comparable to Hu Zongxian. Correspondingly, the difficulties he faced were like him. The emperor and the prime minister were worried about Hu Zongxian, so there was no reason not to worry about his silence.
Even if his grandson pretends well and the emperor and the chief minister are not worried, there will be people who will instigate them to suspect them. This is not silence is worrying about nothing, because he has suffered so much in the past year. It is probably not just because the tree attracts wind, but it is probably because someone dislikes him. Who is this person? Silence has guessed seven or eight points, but he doesn't intend to touch him, and he really doesn't want to do it.
The biggest difference between a politician and a military strategist is that he has no clear right and wrong with the enemy, nor will he care about victory, failure, gains and losses, and everything is focused on his own political purpose. Although silent does not want to admit it, he is indeed becoming closer to a mature politician. For example, this time, he knew that at his age, there is no reward for his own age. If he still regards himself as a hero, it will inevitably cause many people's worries and hostility.
This is not an exaggeration. I keep silent and remember the teacher’s teachings. A young man like him is not afraid of being frustrated or being suppressed, but is afraid of being praised too high. This is not difficult to understand, because the power structure in this world is always a triangle with narrow top and wide top. The fewer the upper position, the more you go down, the more you go down. So the higher you stand, the more blocked others’ path. This is why the higher you go, the more cruel the power struggle is.
If you are young, it will naturally mean that you will be blocked by others for a longer time, and of course you are prone to jealousy. If you still don’t know how to restrain yourself and give others a handle, I believe that those who regard you as your future opponent will not show mercy to you once you have the chance.
Hu Zongxian made the mistake of not knowing how to advance and retreat, taking credit for himself, and taking credit for himself. The lesson of the past and the teacher of the future, silence cannot repeat his mistakes. This kind of showing weakness is by no means self-destruction, but a kind of clever self-protection. Because the contribution to pacifying southern Gannan will always belong to him, and even if he is humble, it will not change this fact. At this time, what we need to do is not self-boast, but cool down for ourselves, so that everyone can believe that he has no ambition to control military power, nor does he want to serve as a chief official again, nor does he want to block anyone's way. There is really no need to attract jealousy from everyone for a little fame.
On the contrary, his current humble actions will undoubtedly win the favor of many people, especially those censors who are not well-informed and have a little simple mind... After the last trouble, Chen Si had realized the power of these people, and he had a premonition that this power would become stronger and stronger, so instead of fighting against these people, it would be better to try to get their support.
Therefore, Chen Si not only made a statement at the banquet, but also wrote a formal letter to the court after the end, saying that he was exhausted at the moment and asked the court to send another official to take over his job, with a very firm attitude.
But these official articles for others will not affect the rhythm of silence. From the ninth day of the lunar month, he will meet with local taxis, officials, and generals to arrange tasks for the coming year and future plans for them.
On the side of the civil servant, he had already requested the court to be promoted and helped to suppress the suppression. Hao Jie was the prefect of Ganzhou. This was a great joy, but the sensitive areas of Longnan, Dingnan and Gaosha were all within their jurisdiction. So Hao Jie was happy and said with a bitter face, "Sir, you really look down on me. Didn't this kill me?"
"No," silently shook his head and smiled, "It will take one or two years to clear the bandits. During this period, as long as you provide logistical support, half of the task will be completed."
"Where is there another half?" Hao Jie asked.
"Not half, but most of the half." He said silently: "I asked you to be this Ganzhou Zhiyi, not because my old classmates took care of you, but because of the fact that Ma Lan is planting in southern Gannan, you have always been following up. Now I will give you all the planting areas. I don't need to say what to do, right?"
"Escort them." Hao Jie said helplessly: "Strive to convert it into wealth as soon as possible."
"No," said silently: "It is easy to suppress the rebellion in southern Ganzhou. It will be difficult to maintain long-term stability. But as long as you don't make any mistakes here, you can successfully turn Ma Lan into real money and silver. The people will have a wealth and all of them will go to that door. Even if Lai Qinggui is restored, who will rebel with him?"
Hao Jie nodded and said, "I understand."
Seeing that he was not in high spirits, he knew that this was a common problem of his background in the imperial examination, he only wanted to do some vain things. Such errands were unpopular. He cheered him up and said, "You are one of the most capable people in our class in the same year. I can foresee that in the future, it will still be popular in the court. If you are patient and temper your character for a few years, you will be of great use in the future."
The implicit sound was self-evident. Hao Jie was happy now and promised him to complete the task.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Mo looked for Yu Dayou again. As soon as the old general entered his study, he unexpectedly found that there was a food and drink waiting for him. Apart from him, there was only Chen Mo by the table.
Silence asked the old general who looked puzzled and sat down, poured wine for him personally, and said, "Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with the old general, just to be quiet."
Yu Dayou nodded suspiciously and sat down and said, "Sir, are you leaving Gannan?"
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, thinking that this guy really said anything, but he nodded and said, "Yes, I've left in the past few days." Then he said, "It's not just me, but Liu Xian and Qi Jiguang are leaving."
"Oh..." Yu Dayou couldn't see it and asked softly: "Why?"
"Is it tolerant to the rebellion of the Sichuan Bailian Sect, and the leader Cai Boguan openly proclaimed himself emperor?" said silently: "So the court recruited Liu Xian as the general of Sichuan and supervised the military affairs of bandit suppression."
"What about Yuan Jing?" Yu Dayou asked again.
"Yuan Jing.
"Silently smiled, "He is famous for his training. The Ministry of War recruited him to become the general officer of Ji Liao and trained the masters and soldiers from the north."
"Oh..." Yu Dayou nodded and said nothing.
