Chapter 720: The storm is coming (10,000 words, please vote for me)
Lu Daqiu was so angry that his beard stood up!
Know a thing or two?
The Shanyue rebellion within the territory is raging across the prefectures and counties. Gushu City, the seat of the Xuanzhou government next door, has been captured by the Shanyue rebels. I don’t know whether the governor of Xuanzhou is alive or dead. Can you tell me what you know? Will you wait until my mansion is eaten alive by the Shanyue rebels?
Tell me a little bit about it?
Lu Daqiu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This gang of Jiangnan relics had always called themselves nobles, but in fact they were wildly ambitious. They only knew the family but not the court. They only cared about profit but did not care about the people. They were selfish and treated the common people like dolphins and dogs, allowing them to be slaughtered, break the bones and suck out the marrow!
Suppressing his anger, Lu Daqiu said coldly: "The mountains are raging, and you are in charge of the military affairs. How can you sit idly by and do nothing? Hurry up and send all your troops to Niuzhuji to rescue Huatinghou. If Huatinghou is fine, you and others can
All merits can be recorded. If Marquis Huating has three shortcomings and has brought disgrace to the imperial court, your majesty will only know the disaster today when he punishes the offender!"
Lu Daqiu's words are already a compromise, and he has greatly lowered his demands. He clearly stated that I don't care what the people in Shanyue are like, as long as I keep Fang Jun alive! Don't think that you can just sit back and do nothing and not blame the public. The imperial court can't do anything to you. If your Majesty
Furious, none of you can escape!
It's a pity that Lu Tong is a son of a noble family and has acted recklessly under the wings of his family since he was a child. How could he be intimidated by Lu Daqiu's words?
Immediately sneered and said: "Please give Mingfu a warning. The mountain is raging, no less than tens of thousands, and now they have attacked the city and swept through Xuanzhou and Runzhou. As the commander of Runzhou, it is the duty of the official to protect the land and the people. If he attacks rashly,
The rescue of Marquis Huating resulted in the emptiness in the territory, which was taken advantage of by Shanyue, causing harm to my family and my homeland. Who will be responsible for this?"
Lu Daqiu was furious when he reported the case: "I am the governor of Runzhou and the governor of Runzhou. I am in charge of the military and administration of Runzhou, so I naturally bear all responsibilities! I first order you to order all the troops and horses, and immediately set off to Niuzhuji for rescue. You must not
Delay!"
In the Tang Dynasty, every state in the Tang Dynasty had a governor's office, which was in the nature of a large military region. Those in charge of more than ten states were called a governor's office. The chief governor was generally led by a prince, and the chief historian was in charge of his affairs. For example, King Wu Li Ke was the "commander of Anzhou, etc."
"Thirteen States Military". Generally, the governors are concurrently appointed by the governors of the states where they are located.
Of course, power does not mean that your official position is high, or that it is within your scope of authority, but that you have the final say. Lu Daqiu could not command a single soldier in Runzhou, and Li Ke could not control ten of his subordinates.
Three States Military Affairs...
Lu Tong was not afraid, and retorted: "Don't blame the lower officials for being rude. The Ming government said they should take responsibility, but they don't know how to bear it. At that time, the people in Runzhou will be in ruins and will be plundered by Shanyue. How can you bear it? Can you afford it?
?”
Lu Daqiu's nose almost started to smoke with anger!
This is simply blatant disregard!
The Jiangnan nobles insulted me too much!
Lu Daqiu had never been in such a humiliating situation in his life. Anger arose in his heart and hatred grew in his guts. He took off the sword hanging on the wall with his hands and drew the sword with a "choking" sound. The sharp tip of the sword pointed straight at it.
Lu Tong's voice was stern and he said: "You despise Shangguan and have no regard for the laws of the country. Do you believe that I will kill you here with one sword?"
Lu Tong was used to being arrogant, so he never thought of saving face for Lu Daqiu when he spoke. In his opinion, this governor was just a tablet, and it was enough to put it here for the princes in the court to see. Jiangnan
Jiangnan belongs to the Jiangnan gentry. Even if you were born in the Lu family of Fanyang, how could it be your turn to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks?
But he never thought that this old guy would be so strong-willed, and out of embarrassment, he would actually draw his sword at him. Lu Tong's face turned pale with fright, and he took a step back to avoid the shining sword. Unexpectedly, he stumbled and fell to the ground...
…
Zhu Jun, who had been carefree on the side, was also startled. He quickly stepped forward and took Lu Daqiu's arm, dissuading him: "Mingfu calm down, Mingfu calm down! Lu Sima's words are wrong, why should Mingfu be on the same level with him? It's just that
Lu Sima was also worried about his hometown, fearing that Shanyue would take advantage of the situation, so he was reluctant to send troops to Niuzhuji. Instead of this, the official went back to organize troops and horses, some of them stayed at Jingkou to prevent unexpected events, and some of them were sent to Niuzhuji.
Immediately send it to Niuzhuji for rescue, what does the Ming government want?"
It's not that he changed his mind, it's that he had to do it.
I really didn’t expect that the usually soft-spoken governor would suddenly be so violent! No matter how arrogant and domineering the Jiangnan nobles were, Jiangnan was still the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the dignified governor killed Lu Tong on the spot, he would still be a cut off official at worst.
The outcome of dismissal.
Is Lu Daqiu afraid of being dismissed from office?
I'm afraid he was mentally depressed and had already thought of leaving! What's more, the DPRK and the Central Government have always suppressed Jiangnan. Even if Lu Daqiu killed Lu Tong, it was just a warning and transferred to another place, and he would continue to be a high-ranking official and ride on a horse...
Lu Daqiu then took back his sword bitterly and said sternly: "Quickly mobilize your troops and horses, I will personally supervise the formation!"
Although only "a part" of the soldiers and horses went to Niuzhuji, and it was not known how much this "part" would be reduced, Lu Daqiu was still satisfied. While the other states were sitting back and watching, only Runzhou sent troops and horses to rescue them.
, it’s already so valuable, why dare you care too much about it?
Firstly, it can repay Fang Xuanling's support in the past. After all, he has tried his best. Secondly, it can also let the princes in the court see that only Lu Daqiu can send troops in all the states in the south of the Yangtze River!
He can be regarded as the bigger one among the cripples...
With Zhu Jun's support, Lu Tong walked out of the lobby of the government office tremblingly. He looked back at the empty doorway, still feeling a lingering fear in his heart.
"This old man will be buried in Jiangnan sooner or later..." Lu Tong cursed bitterly.
Zhu Jun hurriedly said: "Silence! It's enough for us to just ignore it. Why talk about life and death and bring disaster on ourselves?"
Lu Tong was still angry with himself: "This old man has gone too far to deceive others, I will definitely kill him!"
When Zhu Jun saw this, he didn't bother to persuade him.
Lu Tong cursed a few times and asked, "Are you really going to divide your troops and go to Niuzhuji?"
Zhu Jun said helplessly: "The Ming Dynasty is already furious. It must be pressure from the court or a favor. Before the Ming Dynasty sealed the border, he had been working in the Shangshu Province and was an old subordinate of Fang Xuanling.
.Now that Fang Jun is surrounded by Niuzhuji and his death is imminent, how could he not repay his old boss for his kindness? If not, he will be scolded as ungrateful by the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, so he is really anxious!
"
Lu Tong snorted: "But the clan's order is not to assign a single soldier..."
Zhu Jun rolled his eyes: "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Those old men in the clan just have an idea. How do you know where we are in trouble? If you refuse to send troops, Lu Daqiu will kill you if you can't protect him.
Who should I try to reason with now? It's just a pretense of dispatching some miscellaneous soldiers, and it won't affect the overall situation. At most, the clan can just give you a few words of advice, and that's fine."
Lu Tong thought about it and felt that Zhu Jun was thoughtful.
The two of them went to watch their own rooms and discussed how to assign the soldiers. While they were whispering, they suddenly saw the clan members coming to the front of the room.
Could it be that something big happened in the clan?
The two looked at each other and quickened their pace.
People from each tribe came to the two of them and whispered to each other. Immediately, the two of them looked like they had eaten shit...
Send troops to rescue Fang Jun?
If he had known this earlier, why did he stand firm in front of Lu Daqiu just now and was almost cut down by the old man's sword?
*****
Chang'an City was roaring with the wind, filled with a sense of oppression that a storm was about to come.
The Twelve Guards Army moved back and forth, and groups of soldiers with helmets and armors crossed neatly through the long street from time to time.
The news of the Shanyue rebellion in Jiangnan Xuan and Runzhou has already spread to Guanzhong, and the news that Huatinghou Fangjun was trapped in a tight siege and was besieged by tens of thousands of Shanyue people for many days is also a household name. Ordinary people do not understand what the Jiangnan nobles have done, but they just find it strange.
Why is it necessary to mobilize troops from Chang'an to judge the Shanyue rebellion? Are all the troops in Jiangnan just eating dry food?
At this time, the Ministry of Industry posted a notice to repair the drainage ditches in various streets and lanes in Chang'an.
As soon as this order came out, everyone was happy.
Every rainy season, Chang'an City will be flooded due to poor drainage, which seriously affects travel and even daily life. Chang'an is surrounded by eight rivers and has smooth water conservancy, but the water is often difficult to remove, which really makes the people deeply complain about the officials.
When they saw the notice from the Ministry of Works stating that the dredging of the drainage ditch was fully donated by Huatinghou Fangjun, the people immediately started talking about it.
The various benefits of Fang Jun in the past were remembered by the people, and they began to worry about Fang Jun who was besieged in Jiangnan, and many people even began to pray for him.
Just as public opinion in Chang'an was rising, the battle report from Jiangdu was once again sent to Tai Chi Palace...
