Inn.
Mu Su pushed open the door and looked at Ji Gang, who was drinking alone. He closed the door and said, "Did you hear that Xiao Chen, a martial arts scholar, Kang Yuan, Wang Dan, and Du Xin, a martial arts examiner, submitted a letter to stay? In the capital, he was dismissed by the Ministry of War, not to mention his title, and will never be used again."
A look of surprise appeared on Ji Gang's face, and he said: "A letter to stay in the capital? They publicly swore in the teaching field to obey the imperial court's instructions and go to the border to defend the enemy. Why do they suddenly want to stay in the capital? This is too much. You have no faith? After all, you are a man, how can you not even keep faith? "
Mu Su nodded repeatedly, admiring Ji Gang's awareness, and said: "No, as a man, once you have said your word, it is difficult to follow up. How can you forget your promise for personal gain? The Ministry of War handled it well, I am very happy!"
An unnatural smile appeared on Ji Gang's face.
It is easier to climb up if you stay in the capital. This is Ji Gang's unchanging understanding. The reason is very simple. Once something is done, the emperor will easily hear about it, and then he will be promoted and made rich.
But if you are in the local area, even your own merits will be swallowed up by the superiors. It is difficult to make a name for yourself. Unless you really endure for twenty or thirty years, you still need to assess your excellence every year and be promoted every three years. If you are a seventh-grade person, by the time you are sixty or seventy, you will be able to reach the third or fourth grade and become an official.
But at that time, I was already old, so what glory and wealth could I still enjoy?
In order to stay in the capital, Ji Gang found four people, Xiao Chen and Kang Yuan. These four people had one thing in common: strong strength, thick neck, and difficulty in using their heads.
After Ji Gang's acting, the four of them were persuaded and agreed that the five of them would ask the Ministry of War to stay in the capital together.
Xiao Chen, Kang Yuan and others were very simple. After returning home, they either wrote the document themselves or found a calligrapher to dictate a document and handed it to the Ministry of War without hesitation.
But Ji Gang did not submit a letter, or even write it.
Ji Gang’s plan is this:
If someone submits a letter and then gets approval from the Ministry of War and then submits a letter, he is following the trend. Even if the court blames him, it is still the responsibility of the first group of people. He will not lose much and the risk is very small.
If someone submits a letter but does not get approval from the Ministry of War, then even if you submit the letter together with them, it will be rejected.
The most important thing is that I publicly supported going to the border area in the small teaching center. As the second best person, if I leave a stain on the Ministry of War or the court of being a bad person and repeating my words, my future will be ruined.
Therefore, Ji Gang agreed that the five of them would submit a letter together.
Therefore, Ji Gang did not submit a letter.
Facts have proved that Ji Gang avoided a huge crisis by relying on his own methods. Although this method was a bit underhanded, the officialdom is like this. If there is no conflict with each other, it will be sorry for the wheel of history.
Ji Gang sighed, now he could see clearly that the way to stay in the capital was blocked. In this case, you can only think of other ways to get back from the border as soon as possible.
While Mu Su was still talking, Ji Gang stood up angrily and shouted to Mu Su: "Brother Mu, I think as men, as Ming Dynasty martial arts scholars, we should do something at this time."
"What's up?"
Mu Su didn't know what Ji Gang was going to do. Judging from his serious look, it didn't look like he was joking.
Ji Gang turned around, tore the white curtain in the room into long strips, then swept the tea bowl and other items to the floor, spread the white cloth strips on the table, put his right index finger into his mouth, and bit it hard, causing blood to flow out.
Mu Su looked at Ji Gang in surprise.
With a solemn look on his face, Ji Gang wrote in blood and wrote on the white cloth:
Rushing to the border, you should have the ambition to kill the enemy and be granted the title of Hou.
A warrior serves his country, why should he forget his country because of his small family?
During the process, I bit my finger several times because there wasn't much blood...
Ji Gang's handwriting was not pretty, but he had no other words. After he finished writing, he picked up the piece of cloth, held it up high, and shouted: "Let's go to the Ministry of War!"
Mu Su was inspired by Ji Gang's enthusiasm and immediately shouted: "Wait!"
White cloth strips, biting fingers, blood writing:
Reporting to the country at the border,
Wrapped in horse leather and died.
"Walk!"
Mu Su opened the door and met with Ji Gang. They attracted everyone's attention before leaving the inn. When the blood book was held high and the two walked to the street, it caused a sensation. The onlookers praised them one after another. What's more, some chased Ji Gang and Mu Su until they were outside the Ministry of War.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army.
Xu Huizu was discussing with Song Sheng which Beijing troops would participate in the Annan battle. He heard the commotion outside. Just when he was about to call someone to investigate the situation, Xu Yingxu walked in and said: "Good thing, good thing."
"What good thing?"
Xu Huizu asked.
Xu Yingxu pointed in the direction of the Ministry of War and said: "Not long ago, Wu Jinshi and Wu Jinshi wrote to stay in the capital. Tie Shangshu was furious and had his titles dismissed. Just when everyone was panicking, Wu Jinshi and Ji Gang were Mu Su, holding a blood letter, strongly supported the imperial court and asked for orders to go to the most dangerous place at the border. After hearing this, many martial arts and martial arts scholars also joined in, and it was very lively."
"Ji Gang?"
Xu Huizu scratched his head a little, what on earth is this guy doing? The court asked you to go to the most dangerous place, does it still need you to get a bloody book? What is the purpose of such a sensational move?
That's all, he was going to Guangxi to book it anyway. There was really no need to waste his time on a small martial artist who came second.
Wu Zhuangyuan Xue Lu, Tanhua Yuan Yue and others also heard the news, but they did not write blood letters or go to the Ministry of War to express their stance like other Wu Jinshi and Wu Juren. Instead, they held a simple map of Annan and deduced the war.
Xue Lu plays the Annan Hu family, who focuses on defense, and Yuan Yue plays the Guangxi Dusi, who focuses on offense.
Yuan Yue looked at the fewer and fewer Bai Zi on the map, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "With only more than 20,000 people, we can only fight through Ailiu and Jiling at most. It would be too dangerous to go deeper."
Xue Lu looked at the map and sighed: "If this city gate is really what you said, Annan will be difficult to defeat."
There was some worry in Yuan Yue's eyes: "The defenses at these city gates are just my personal hearings and speculations. The actual strength of the defense forces may exceed our imagination. There is not much information about Annan at the moment, but its strength is not as large as a million, I'm afraid. It’s not less than 800,000. If you want to attack Annan, you can’t do it in Guangxi or Yunnan.”
Xue Lu thought about it and nodded in agreement: "As far as the information you mentioned is concerned, if you want to capture Shenglong City, the eastern capital of Annan, you must first capture many important cities. Two big cities that echo each other like this are not worth a hundred thousand. Soldiers are simply not easy to attack."
Yuan Yue dropped the chess piece in his hand, stood up and said, "Yes, when we were in Guangxi, Commander Zhang and his colleagues also believed the same. He also asserted that if Annan was destroyed, the number of troops sent would not be less than 200,000. But the imperial court puts the people first and takes it seriously. Will there be such a big war?"
Xue Lu went south from Peiping and saw the immigration team, the people who were dredging the river, the concrete roads, the large granary outside Jinchuan Gate, and the Baoen Temple under construction outside Jubao Gate, and felt deeply You see, the biggest difference between Jianwen Year and Hongwu Year is that they are not so depressing.
This kind of relaxation and comfort comes from Zhu Yunwen's cherishment of the people's power. Even for immigrants, he has made careful arrangements. Even if it is dredging the canal, he will not interfere with the migrant workers, allowing them to independently determine the progress and determine their wages based on performance...
Although there have been four wars in the Ming Dynasty since Jianwen ascended the throne, they were all too minor. For example, Guangxi Dusi fought against Hu Du's army in Annan, Qingzhou King Qi rebelled, Bailian Qingzhou rebelled, and the surprise attack outside Daning was either local or local. On a small scale, although there are tens of thousands of people participating, for example, King Qi brought 40,000 people, it only resulted in a bunch of bubbles.
For more than two years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ming Dynasty had not launched a single war involving the main force of the imperial court and the Beijing army as the core. And this is a clear proof that Zhu Yunwen cherishes the power of the people. In addition, with his reputation as a benevolent person, his feat of being rained on in the teaching field and with the people has won the hearts of many people. Many people believe that Jianwen is not the Hongwu Emperor and will not easily commit suicide. Use weapons.
War is far away from people, but peace will continue.
This is the common view of the people in the capital.
But who said that if we cherish the power of the people and do not easily start wars, there will be no wars?
Xue Lu put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky: "Emperor Jianwen is kind, wise and far-sighted. A far-sighted emperor will not allow Annan to cause chaos. Brother Yuan, if I can go to Guangxi, I would like to Fight alongside you!"
Yuan Yue was overjoyed, and Pan Cheng and Huang Gui were also pleasantly surprised. Geng Wei, who had been dozing off, also stood up and said: "If possible, I would also like to join."
"Haha, we should join hands to serve the country!"
Yuan Yue shouted, with a smile on his face.
"Serve the country, are you the only ones?" Cong Pei'er walked over with a look of disdain and said, "The real hero who serves the country is Ji Gang. He asked for orders in blood, but you guys are just talking on paper."
The eyes of Xue Lu, Yuan Yue, and Geng Wei almost popped out of their heads. Why is there such an unruly and unreasonable woman everywhere?
"Ahem, Miss Cong, I was ordered to come here. I didn't say anything, so you just interrupted. Isn't it inappropriate?"
Lin Zhaoxue came over and protested.
Cong Pei'er rolled her eyes at Lin Zhaoxue, put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey, whose order are you taking? Gu Sanshen has bullied me more than once or twice. You are a small family, why should I give you face?" Besides, if you dare to call me little sister again, I will beat you up."
Lin Zhaoxue was a little speechless. Your brothers Tang Buping and Xiao Han have already done that. We are all a family. If I don't call you sister, why should I call you sister?
"Baihu, what's going on?"
Xue Lu and others were a little surprised and looked at Lin Zhaoxue.
In the minds of several people, Lin Zhaoxue was injured during the final horse shooting and withdrew from the martial arts competition. After that, he was not even seen when the Ministry of War summoned him. He was originally thought to be seriously injured and unable to get up. Unexpectedly, he became a hundred households.
According to the placement standards of the Ministry of War, Tanhua Yuan Yue is the sixth rank, with the rank of Hundred Households. Lin Zhaoxue is not even a Chinese martial scholar, so why does he enjoy the rank of Hundred Households?
Lin Zhaoxue cleared her throat and said: "It is difficult to explain clearly the various matters. Lin is currently serving in the Guangxi branch of the Security Bureau. He has received orders from the Security Bureau and will leave the capital to go to Guangxi the next day. Today I came to find a few of them. Commander Gu of the Security Bureau ordered Shi Ming to pass on a message."
"Security Bureau? What are you talking about?"
Xue Lu, Yuan Yue, and Geng Wei looked a little ugly. People from the security bureau come to visit, but it's not a good thing.
"The history of Commander Gu said that the imperial court assigned Wuju and Wujinshi to Guangxi and Yunnan. Yuan Yue, Xue Lu, and Geng Wei had the right to supervise the Wuju and Wujinshi. If they were found to have violated the imperial laws and military orders, they could be directly punished. Report Lin Zhaoxue and hand it over to the Guangxi Security Bureau."
Lin Zhaoxue said calmly.
Xue Lu, Yuan Yue, and Geng Wei looked indifferent.
Xue Lu said with a dark face, "Isn't this appropriate? We enter the guardhouse and obey the imperial court's orders. Naturally, we serve the country with our heart. How can we betray our friends? You have joined the security bureau, so we should have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Yuan Yue nodded seriously: "My soldiers made mistakes, which will naturally be dealt with by military law. If the Security Bureau wants to intervene, it must at least provide evidence."
Geng Wei didn't speak, but his attitude was very determined.
Lin Zhaoxue looked at the three of them, sighed, and said: "Yes, some martial arts scholars, Wu Jinshi are your brothers and will serve the court. But you seem to have forgotten that some people do not regard friends as friends, but as friends. Treat him as a pawn for sensationalism! You may not be able to see or control him!"
