Inspection Mou smiled instead of getting angry, clapped his hands and said, "It still has some flavor."
Most of the talented people around saw that Xue Poye was so arrogant, and they all admired him.
Lao Song hid behind the door and looked at the scene outside. Seeing that Xue Poye did not give in, he was a little worried and was already breaking out in a cold sweat. When he returned to the backyard, he was extremely anxious when he saw Yue Zhu and others.
Yuezhu patted his chest gently and asked urgently: "Second shopkeeper, how is the... shopkeeper's situation?"
Xue Poye made Song Qian the second shopkeeper, and everyone called him that.
Old Song wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a weak voice: "A large group of officers and soldiers. I don't know what kind of trouble the shopkeeper got into!" Seeing more than a dozen pairs of eyes looking at him, obviously expecting to get more information,
Then he said: "The inspection master seems to say that our restaurant is harboring Qinglianzhao's traitor and wants to search for it!"
As soon as the words came out, Yue Zhu and Hu San immediately changed their expressions. The little fairy screamed "Ouch" but immediately covered her mouth.
Old Song frowned, but Yuezhu calmly said: "That's nonsense. Everyone in our restaurant is innocent. Why do you think we are harboring rebels?"
Xiao Pinshi also had a livid face and was about to rush out: "The government is really unreasonable. We are doing business well and we have not hired anyone or provoked anyone. Why should they pour dirty water on us?" Fortunately, Yuezhu held him back, otherwise he would have really rushed out.
"Listen!" Lao Song stretched his ears: "What is the sound?... It seems to be the sound of horse hoofs. Where does the sound of horse hoofs come from?"
…
…
Xue Poye also heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, and Mou Xinxuan was no exception. Hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats, Xue Poye was confused, and Mou Xinxuan's already gloomy face turned even more ashen.
Rapid footsteps came over, and someone reported: "Sir, someone is coming!"
"who?"
"My subordinates don't know, but they are...cavalry!"
Inspector Mou was startled.
The Great Chu State attaches great importance to the rule of law. Although the rule of law has made the atmosphere of the Great Chu State excellent, due to too much contempt for the style of writing, the warriors are one level lower than the literati.
Although Wu Hou, the founder of the Chu State, used military force to conquer the world, he attached great importance to the rule of law. Mo Zifeng, the then prominent prime minister, once wrote a short treatise, the center of which is the use of literature in prosperous times and the use of force in troubled times. If martial arts is emphasized in prosperous times, martial arts will flourish.
, guaranteeing that there will be no trouble. There is a famous saying that profoundly reflects the fundamental reason why the emperor emphasized the importance of civil affairs, "A hundred civil servants rebelling against each other is not as good as one military general rebelling!"
In the eyes of some people, literati are gentle, elegant, intelligent and resourceful, and are more suitable for governing the country than rough and savage warriors covered in scars, so it is natural to value literature over martial arts.
It is precisely because of this extreme thought that although Da Chu's national power was strong and the four kingdoms congratulated each other, its military style was weak. It was repeatedly invaded by the Northern Hu, resulting in the loss of troops and generals, and the abuse of its borders.
Although Da Chu revitalized its army in response to the ferocity of Beihu, it only trained infantry. As for the cavalry, according to the heartbroken words of the general: "Beihu has ten soldiers and twenty cavalry, and the Chu army has one thousand soldiers and one cavalry!" The gap in the middle is,
One can imagine.
Although it is necessary to expand the cavalry, the Chu army is short of horse resources. Although it has the intention, it does not have the power.
The Hangzhou camp was one of the thirty-six camps of the Chu Kingdom. It had a standing army of 20,000 people but less than 500 cavalry.
Inspector Mu gritted his teeth and said, "How many people?"
"There are... fifty or sixty riders!" the visitor reported.
Inspection Mou was a little surprised. Cavalry is expensive. It is not easy to transfer them. For those with less than 100 cavalry, in addition to the inspection orders from various prefectures, the local governor must also issue orders. Both are indispensable. The transfer of more than 100 cavalry can be done by the imperial court.
The order has been issued. In addition to the official letter from the Privy Council, it is necessary to meet with the general Hu Fu. Otherwise, no one can mobilize hundreds of elite troops.
When he heard that the cavalry was coming, Inspector Mou was surprised and surprised. The five hundred cavalry camped in Hangzhou were under his control. He did not sign a warrant. Even if Wang Shizhen wanted to mobilize, it would be impossible. He was surprised where these cavalry came from.
Come.
Suddenly a light flashed through my mind, could it be...!
If that's the case, it means that the other party has been prepared for a long time and expected this to happen to him.
Xue Poye was also a little confused. Today was a bad day. First a large group of infantry came, and now dozens of cavalry came. Could it be that they all came to Lan Yuexuan to train their troops?
Those talented men and young men were all trembling with fear. If I had known that something so disgraceful would happen here, even if there were ten talented young ladies inviting me to the banquet, we would not come to drown in this muddy water.
The sound of horses' hooves was getting louder and louder as they galloped closer. The sound of dozens of horses' hooves was already thunderous.
, I'm afraid it can scare people with weak hearts to death.
At the gap in the sail, a white horse was reined in, and a white-robed young general appeared with a gun, majestic and majestic.
Among the white armor and white helmets, Xue Poye also saw Zhao Zilong, but this young man was very young, only about ten years old, high-spirited and very impressive.
The sound of horse hooves subsided, and Xue Poye peered through the sails, and could faintly see that the outside was full of cavalry. The horses were sneezing, and the sound was quite noisy.
"According to the order of Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Ye Tianxiang of the Suzhou camp led his troops to maintain the order of the Lan Yuexuan banquet. All irrelevant people will be expelled!" the white-robed young general said loudly.
Xue Poye breathed a sigh of relief. Since this person was sent by Lao Tan, he was naturally here to help him.
Suddenly, I felt strange that Lao Tan left the sergeants at the Hangzhou camp unused, but went to Suzhou camp to mobilize troops. Why? When he caught a glimpse of Mou Inspection, he immediately understood that although Lao Tan had a high official rank, the Hangzhou camp was under the jurisdiction of Mou Inspection after all.
Although they have transferred people, they don't seem to dare to do anything about Mou's inspection. It is better to go to Suzhou to transfer people, so that they don't have to worry about the sergeants disobeying orders.
These Suzhou cavalrymen obviously came at a fast pace. Although the white-robed young general Ye Tianxiang was majestic, he could not hide his dusty appearance.
"This old guy really knows how to use Suzhou's soldiers to go to Hangzhou's territory to suppress Hangzhou's soldiers!" Xue Poye laughed secretly in his heart.
Naturally, he didn't know that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was an important institution of the imperial court and a trusted institution of the emperor. Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not have the power to mobilize large-scale troops without authorization, it could mobilize a small number of troops if the situation required it. If there was any inconvenience in the local camp,
You can borrow troops from neighboring camps.
Mr. Tan, as the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, transferred troops from Suzhou to Hangzhou, which was within the scope of his authority.
After all, Lao Tan is an important official in the capital. After the young general in white robe conveyed the order, Inspector Mou couldn't resist directly. He cupped his fists and said, "I am the Inspector Mou Zhizhan of Hangzhou. May I ask the young general what position you hold?"
The young general was holding a long gun and said arrogantly: "I am Suzhou Deputy Inspector Ye Tianxiang!"
Each provincial camp has an inspection team with two deputies to assist in military management and training.
When Mou Zhizhan saw that this young general's official position was lower than his own, he lost his temper and said angrily: "You are just a deputy inspector, but you still don't get off your horse when you see me!"
The young general was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Dismount?"
Mou looked directly at a person behind him and immediately shouted: "This is Mr. Mou who is inspecting the camp in Hangzhou, don't get off your horse!"
Immediately, a cavalryman urged his horse to approach Ye Tianxiang and whispered something. Ye Tianxiang looked surprised, then full of anger, and looked at Mou Zhanzhan. After a while, he lazily got off the horse and bowed his hand as a salute.
.
In the Great Chu system, those with low official positions and those with high official positions must bow to each other regardless of region.
Xue Poye looked at it and immediately knew that Ye Tianxiang didn't seem to be very clear about these details and needed to be reminded by his subordinates. He thought to himself: "Why did Lao Tan send a child here to play house?"
Mou Zhizhan snorted coldly and said: "I am performing official duties. After investigation, Lan Yuexuan is hiding thieves with evil intentions. For the sake of the people's livelihood and the country, I have to investigate and deal with it. I won't be able to leave for a while!"
Xue Poye heard that he was slandering Lan Yuexuan again. Although he inadvertently said that Lan Yuexuan was indeed harboring the little fairy, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard it. He said in a cold voice: "Master Mou, I didn't find out clearly.
Before, please don't slander good people. You have repeatedly said that I, Lan Yuexuan, is harboring rebels, and you always have to provide evidence? You are making such baseless and random judgments, which affects my business, Lan Yuexuan. I really don't accept it.
!”
Ye Tianxiang stared at Mou Zhizhan and sneered: "Mr. Mou, this is the order of the imperial censor. You wait to evacuate. I don't care whether I am against the invaders or not. I only act according to orders!"
Mou Zhizhan actually closed his eyes and ignored it——
If it looks good, vote for it if you like it, thank you! dd
