When Zuo Liangyu heard that a supervisor was coming to Shandong, he couldn't wait to go back and tell Wang Chengyin the news.
However, he wanted to know more about the Supervisor, so he asked Sun Chuanting: "May I ask the Ambassador, who is the new Supervisor?"
"The upcoming governor is Fu Futai from Shuntian. Your generals should know about him." Sun Chuanting never thought of hiding anything about Fu Zonglong.
Fu Zonglong will arrive in Shandong soon, and even if he doesn't tell Wang Chengyin, it won't be long before Wang Chengyin will know.
"It turns out to be Fu Futai." Zuo Liangyu suddenly realized.
When they followed Sun Chengzong to attack the slave soldiers and horses occupying Luanping, Fu Zonglong happened to be appointed governor of Shuntian. Although they had no contact with him, they knew this person.
After all, the governor of a place is also a local official, and no one dares to ignore him, especially military generals like them.
Sun Chuanting looked at Zuo Liangyu and said, "Does Zuo Dusi know Governor Fu?"
"How can I be so lucky as a general? I just heard about this Governor Fu." Zuo Liangyu explained that after all, he was just a governor.
Even deputy commander-in-chief Wang Chengyin would try his best to please Fu Zonglong when he saw him, but a small official like him didn't even have the qualifications to come forward to please him.
Sun Chuanting also knew that there was a huge difference in status between Zuo Liangyu and Fu Zonglong. He did not say much on this issue, but said: "Zuo Dusi will go back for now. When the superintendent arrives, orders will naturally be passed to Deputy Commander Wang."
"Here," Zuo Liangyu looked hesitant, unwilling to go back empty-handed, and said, "The governor hasn't arrived yet, but the army is running out of food. Can the ambassador ask the general to bring some food and grass back first? , so that I can give an explanation to General Wang after I return."
Cao Wenzhao on the side suddenly interjected: "With Wang Chengyin here, how can you still be short of food and grass in Jinan Mansion? I think it's not you who are short of food, but the people of Jinan Mansion."
"What does General Cao mean by this?" Zuo Liangyu looked at Cao Wenzhao with a bad expression.
Cao Wenzhao sarcastically said: "You know what I mean in your heart, so do you need me to explain it so clearly? Liaocheng is not far from Jinan Prefecture."
"I think General Cao may have misunderstood something." Zuo Liangyu, who was feeling guilty, did not dare to look at Cao Wenzhao and looked back at Sun Chuanting. "I also ask the ambassador to give the general some food and grass to take back."
"Give me something shameless!"
Cao Wenzhao was about to say something when he saw Sun Chuanting wave his hand at him to stop him from continuing.
Then, Sun Chuanting said to Zuo Liangyu: "I don't have much food and grass here, so I'd better wait for the supervisor to arrive in Shandong to solve it together."
Zuo Liangyu looked at Sun Chuanting, and there was Cao Wenzhao beside him. Knowing that he might have to return empty-handed this time, he had no choice but to say: "Then I will go back to Jinan Mansion first and tell General Wang the news."
Sun Chuanting nodded.
"I'm going to leave." Zuo Liangyu bowed, bowed and left.
As soon as they left, Cao Wenzhao spat at Zuo Liangyu's leaving figure, then turned to Sun Chuanting and said, "Ambassador, Wang Chengyin is not a good person. He must be harvesting grain in Jinan Mansion again."
He had no good impressions of Wang Chengyin, a general who only cheated his colleagues.
"Search for food?" Sun Chuanting frowned.
Cao Wenzhao explained: "Wang Chengyin has a problem. He likes to send troops to plunder the people. Before, he was a little restrained around the ambassador. When he went to Jinan Mansion, there was no one to restrain him. He inevitably harmed the people of Jinan Mansion. So when he said he was short of food, it was simply It’s nonsense.”
Sun Chuanting's face turned ugly.
In the past, he only knew that the Ming army had problems that harmed the local area. He did not expect that such a problem would occur under his command for the first time when he led the army, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
But when it comes to punishing Wang Chengyin for this, he has never thought about it, nor does he intend to do so.
At present, their enemies in Shandong are the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag. Naturally, they cannot do anything that would make their relatives happy and their enemies happy. Even if they want to deal with Wang Chengyin, they have to wait until the problem of the Tiger Flag is solved.
"Ambassador doesn't need to be upset about this. Many Ming troops did this, but Wang Chengyin's men did it more harshly." Cao Wenzhao noticed Sun Chuanting's face and thought that the other party would not see such a thing, so he explained.
The imperial court often owed the army food and salary, so the generals who led the troops could only use this method to appease the morale of the troops. Otherwise, their stomachs would not be full, and who would go into battle with you to kill the enemy.
Why the soldiers and servants are willing to follow their masters from birth to death? It's not because they have enough money. If they don't have enough money, the king of heaven is useless.
Although Sun Chuanting was leading an army for the first time, he was from Daizhou and was no stranger to some things in the army. Although the army went to eat at people's homes, he felt uncomfortable, but he could accept it.
The people are struggling to solve the problem of the Tiger Flag and give the people a stable tomorrow.
"General Wang's problem should be left to Inspector Fu to resolve. I am too lazy to intervene." What Sun Chuanting disliked most about Wang Chengyin was that he did not obey orders.
Such subordinates can easily destroy the arrangements he made in advance.
Cao Wenzhao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was also afraid that Sun Chuanting would impulsively punish Wang Chengyin.
Although Wang Chengyin was wrong, he was still one of the Ming army's troops to deal with the Tiger Flag.
And he knows Wang Chengyin very well.
Although this person likes to run away from battle, if he is more active than anyone else when fighting a favorable situation, he can still be of some use.
Ming officials in Shandong all knew that Fu Zonglong had come to Shandong to take up the post of governor, and Tiger Character Banner naturally also received the news.
Chen Xunping stood in front of a map, staring at the map in front of him with his hands behind his back.
Deputy Division Master Zheng Sunchuang came in from outside.
"Shi Zheng, when will our navy arrive? If the navy doesn't arrive, I'm afraid Fu Zonglong sent by Chongzhen will arrive soon. By then, Shandong will not be in disarray."
Sun Chuang walked to the table nearby, picked up the big tea vat on the table and took a sip.
Chen Xunping turned around, looked at him and said: "We must have confidence in the other teams. We believe that they can hold back the Ming troops everywhere and prevent these Ming troops from having the opportunity to come in for reinforcements."
"Of course I have confidence in our team, but it's always a good thing to take down Deng earlier and end the war in Shandong. Who knows what trouble Ming Dynasty will cause with the slave thieves. We almost had peace talks before." Sun Chuang said with a big teapot in his hand.
After hearing this, Chen Xunping smiled and said: "Even if Chongzhen wants to negotiate peace, those Qingliu people in the Ming Dynasty who claim to be loyal ministers will try their best to hold Chongzhen back in order to gain a reputation for themselves and want to negotiate with slaves and thieves. Peace talks may not be possible even if the Ming Dynasty is destroyed."
"I'm not worried about what will happen to the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, it's the slaves and thieves. We took advantage of the slaves and thieves to invade the Ming Dynasty and captured Jinzhou. Now that the slave chief has led his army back, he may attack Jinzhou and Lushun. What can we do? If we capture Deng as soon as possible, we can support Lushun." Sun Chuang said.
Hearing this, Chen Xunping smiled and scolded: "I don't know you yet. You are not going to Lushun to help. I think you saw Zhang Hong and the others fighting a battle with the slave thieves, and you were unwilling to do so. You also wanted to go to Lushun and the slave thieves." Have a fight.”
Sun Chuang chuckled.
