Chapter 189: Fighting, making money, and women, none were delayed

~8 min read 1,576 words

"Don't say Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan doesn't take care of you." Private Secretary Li reminded.

"How to say?" Chen Guanlou asked hurriedly.

He was just worrying about who the new Jiang Jiang Yucheng would be after Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan left? Would he be as easy to talk to as Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan? Don't come to a master who stirs up trouble for nothing, and don't come to a greedy and cruel official.

Private Secretary Li reminded, "New officials don't ask about the accounts of their predecessors, understand?"

Chen Guanlou opened his mouth and understood, understood too well. This was reminding him to make fake accounts, make them boldly, with Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan covering him. Before leaving office, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan would definitely make a big vote to fill the deficit caused by handling human relationships before.

Private Secretary Li was afraid that he wouldn't grasp the essence, and reminded him again, "Put your heart into your stomach, don't be afraid."

Chen Guanlou:...

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan definitely didn't need to be afraid, he was promoted, and the successor wouldn't be so sensible as to find trouble. But he was different; he still had to continue working in the Heavenly Prison. If he did too much and aroused public anger, he might become the chicken that the new official used to kill the monkey.

No one wanted to be the chicken to be killed.

Chen Guanlou didn't want to either.

But he couldn't say it; he had to show an impatient look to make money, fooling Private Secretary Li, repeatedly guaranteeing that he had grasped the essence and core, and would definitely cooperate with Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan to let Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan make enough of the last vote.

Private Secretary Li left satisfied, and Chen Guanlou led people to the Ministry of Justice to get document tickets, and then went to the Changping Granary to transport grain.

When getting the document tickets at the Ministry of Justice, he heard news that the court had decided to require the Master to return to the capital as soon as possible, and the formal edict had been sent to Jinzhou.

When the Master left the capital, he brought three thousand Beijing camp soldiers.

Returning to the capital, he was required to travel light, and the three thousand Beijing camp soldiers would stay in Jinzhou, and the court would arrange for people to take over his position later. The power of the commander would be split into three, managed by three people, checking and balancing each other.

Typical power splitting.

Belonging to the court's routine operation.

The Master, as the person involved, couldn't say the court did wrong. After all, the purpose of appointing him had been achieved, and the goals of subsequent military operations no longer needed him. As a nobleman, a first-class Marquis of the court, it was not suitable for him to stay in the army for a long time; it was better to return to the capital to live a life of drunkenness and dreams, which would make the old Emperor and the court officials feel at ease.

The court rules were like this, so it couldn't be called killing the donkey after the mill.

It could only be said that the court's guard against noble generals had never been relaxed. They would rather spend more money, have more twists and turns, and have changes in the war, than let the generals take the opportunity to sit big.

The Master had expected this long ago and accepted it quite calmly. It was just that the Chen family descendants he brought were all indignant, cursing the court for being chaotic, not understanding the specific situation at all, and being in a hurry to kill the donkey after the mill. Did they really think Jinzhou was peaceful?

Hmph!

Dream!

The Great Ming King led the elite to hide in the Damang Mountain range, waiting for action. They could make a comeback at any time.

This battle of the court looked very beautiful, but it left huge hidden dangers. If the Master was allowed to continue to sit in Jinzhou, control the military and government, and operate for two years, he should be able to completely annihilate the rebel flames in Jinzhou and return the world to true peace.

Unfortunately, the court officials didn't trust the Master, and the old Emperor didn't trust the Master, even though the Master performed very Buddhistly and was a disabled person.

The biting northwest wind blew on his face, and the Master rode a date-red horse, letting the wind blow on his cheeks.

He said to the strategist beside him: "This battle of mine was truly a failure. Not as good as the past!"

"The Marquis is modest!"

"I am not being modest, but telling the truth. On the surface, this battle of mine made the Great Ming King unable to strike for two or three years, and the situation in Jinzhou is basically stable. However, in this battle, the generals below acted on their own, did not listen to orders, and exposed the shortcomings of the court army. Coupled with the shortage of supplies and the court's lack of money, all the ambitious people in the world saw the reality of the court. I am afraid that this battle did not suppress the ambition of some people, but instead aroused the stronger ambition of some people. If one day, the flames of war rise again, I will be a sinner!"

The Master's heart was full of melancholy, regret!

There were too many people in the court dragging their feet.

If he hadn't mobilized the heavyweight relationships in the capital and mobilized the nobles to help, the supplies and rewards probably wouldn't have been seen until now. Jinzhou would have suffered another military disaster.

"Not in that position, don't plan that government! His Majesty was also wise and martial in the past, and the situation in the world, His Majesty couldn't see clearly. Since His Majesty decided to summon the Marquis back to the capital, it is clear that he didn't take some ambitious people in his eyes." The strategist said so.

"His Majesty is confused by the situation, still indulging in the merits of the past." In the wild, with his own people around, or Chen family descendants, the Master spoke without any cover.

The strategist sighed, "His Majesty is addicted to practicing Daoism, reusing Jiang Tu, making the court chaotic. Jiang Tu's people are involved in local real positions, and local government affairs are also ruined. These things, the censors have said clearly long ago. However, His Majesty has always turned a blind eye, and he is becoming more and more mean to the Crown Prince. If this continues... it is a proper way for the Marquis to return to the capital, stay away from these disputes, and seek peace."

The Master didn't make a sound. He looked at the rolling mountains in the distance; the Great Ming King and his remnants were hiding in the mountains, lingering on. However, Jinzhou didn't make changes, and sooner or later someone would rise up. Why did the Jinzhou rebels grow big? Natural disasters were only a small part of the reason, and the biggest factor was human disaster.

Jinzhou was rotten to the core, and the exploitation of the people had reached an outrageous level.

It was a pity that the Master was about to leave Jinzhou. The people of Jinzhou could only pray for their own blessings.

He asked the Chen family descendants to continue to stay in the army, and only brought his personal soldiers and strategists back to the capital. The foundation of the Chen family was military merit, generation after generation, which was the foundation for the Marquis Prefecture to be rich for generations.

His eldest son was in the army, but to prevent the court's suspicion, the eldest son didn't join the Jinzhou pacification army, but was leading troops in the south. Around the eldest son, a group of Chen family descendants also gathered.

"In two days, I will set off to return to the capital, and this place will be handed over to you. After the new official takes office, don't go against him. Do whatever he instructs above. Give the new official enough face; the other party will naturally not make things difficult for you for my sake. Being a soldier and eating grain, just knowing how to fight is not enough; you must have a brain, ask more and think more when things happen."

The Master tirelessly instructed the Chen family descendants, and two days later took people to leave Jinzhou, and the generals came to see him off one after another.

When he came, the army guarded him, and he was domineering.

When he left, there were only one hundred personal soldiers around him, which was exceptionally desolate.

However, the large carts carrying goods stretched for several miles.

This trip of the Master, whether the battle was fought well or not, the wealth was definitely made.

In the motorcade, there were several carriages. Inside sat beautiful women sent by local tycoons to the Master, one of whom was even pregnant.

The Master went out to fight a war, not only annihilated the rebels, but also made a fortune, and by the way, spread his branches and leaves, without delaying anything.

A model for men! ===== CHAPTER 190 =====
