Chapter 723 Willing to go alone

The number one scholar Wenkui, and Qin Zhongtang, the governor of the University Xuanda Military Affairs, came to Datong City. Who would like to visit and get acquainted with the famous people in the city.

But most of them were turned away by the Qin governor. Except for the officials of the town, Fu, and Fu, only Gu Wenchang, the grain manager of the household department in Datong Town, was lucky enough to be interviewed.

This is also normal, after all, he is an official of the household department of the imperial court, and his status is different from that of a local official.

Qin Dushi, who received the 10,000 taels official silver in time, was very satisfied with Gu Langzhong, so he encouraged him a few words:

"You are doing well this year. When you return to the capital, Master Ben and Situ Wang will recommend you and transfer you back to the capital."

Gu Langzhong thanked him again and again. He knew that Governor Qin was not just blowing water, but really had this ability.

Then Gu Langzhong took the initiative to ask Ying to say: "I heard that the supervisor intends to go out to burn the wasteland, and the next official is willing to escort food, grass and luggage as a follow-up."

The reason why the Ministry of Household Affairs sent officials to Datong was because Datong itself had no hematopoietic ability and was extremely dependent on transfers from other places, with a lot of accounts for food, grass and money.

Therefore, the household department stationed in Datong Guanliang Langzhong is a post in itself to do logistics work. If the Qin governor wants to send troops, it is not an exaggeration for Guanliang Langzhong to be responsible for the logistics of troops and horses.

But Qin Dewei still declined Gu Langzhong's kindness, "It has been planned before, and Liu Zhifu of Datong Prefecture will be in charge of these, so there is no need to trouble Gu Bulang."

Gu Langzhong frowned, hesitated to speak a few times, and finally said: "Prefect Liu is not honest, it's better for the supervisor to stay away from him."

What Gu Langzhong hinted at was obviously smuggling, but Gu Langzhong didn't have any evidence for the specifics, so he couldn't say in more detail.

Moreover, Gu Langzhong and Qin Dushi did not have friendship in the past, so it is better not to talk too much, it would be too reckless.

But Governor Qin did not express any hint to Gu Langzhong's hint, looked at the time, and served tea to see off the guests.

Gu Langzhong sighed helplessly, how could a smart person like Dushi Qin, who can win the first prize, fail to hear his own hint?
Therefore, there is only one conclusion, that is, Governor Qin intends to "be in harmony with the light" with the unreal people.

Now Gu Langzhong can only hope that Governor Qin's background is strong, and he has a high status in the eyes of the emperor, so nothing happens.

Perhaps such a serious crime as smuggling is nothing to Governor Qin. Even if someone sues the emperor, he may not be able to sue Governor Qin.

Sending Gu Langzhong away, Governor Qin was considering whether he was "politically correct", and when he took some time to meet the local scholar seeds, he suddenly sent a message from Yanghe City.

According to the governor's order, the Bai Zongbing of Xuanfu Town led [-] elite cavalry to reinforce Datong Town, and they had already arrived in Yanghe City.

So Qin Dushi immediately issued an order to order two thousand soldiers and horses of Xuanfu to rest in Yanghe City for a day, continue to march after replenishment, and arrive at Datong Right Guard within three days.

Afterwards, Governor Qin went to the backyard and told Miss Li: "Get ready to go, we are going to Datong Youwei City!"

Miss Li asked suspiciously: "Aren't you just about to go out to burn wasteland? Why are you going to Datong Youwei again?"

Qin Dewei simply explained: "It is closer to the side wall, and it is convenient to go out of the fortress, so Datong Youwei City was chosen as the forward base."

Datong City is still [-] miles away from the nearest side wall in the north, that is to say, the shortest distance from Datong City is [-] miles to get out of the fortress and set fire.

The Datong Right Guard is located two hundred miles west of Datong City, close to the side wall, and is an extremely important place.

Going out from the right back of Datong, you can go out directly. It is of course more suitable as a forward base.

Then Qin Dewei thought of something, and said: "When you arrive at Datong Youwei, don't move, just stay in Weicheng and wait for me to come back."

"Then how can it be?" Miss Li became anxious immediately, "Didn't you say that you want me to protect you all the time?"

Inspector Qin patted Miss Li's head, and said deeply: "War makes women go away."

Miss Li responded angrily: "Don't tell me you are a man or a woman when the barbarians call you?"

Inspector Qin persuaded: "Bringing you out, you have been operating within the side wall all the time, and the most you have to deal with is a small group of assassins.

But after going out of the fortress, it will be different. Thousands of troops are facing each other. How much can you alone play in the battle? "

Besides, along the way, there are post stations and mansions along the way, so there is no inconvenience.

If you go out of the fortress and use the sky as your tent and the earth as your mat, how can your daughter's family status be mixed up?You can see for yourself how much inconvenience there is.

So listen to me, you stay in Datong Youwei City, and wait for me to come back. "

Miss Li couldn't explain the reasoning, so she said angrily: "If only I were a man, it would be fine!"

Qin Dewei: "."

Afterwards, Qin Dewei sent an order to go out, and the governor Xingyuan moved to Datong Youwei.

When the officials of Datong City heard the news, they felt that the governor was too restless.

It's only been a few days since I arrived in Datong City, and it can be said that the seats are not warm, yet I have to change places again, and go directly to the front line.

Did this young man misunderstand his position?He is a civil servant and governor who should be in the middle and rear to command, not a military general who comes to the front line in person!
In the past, Governor Qin said in private that he would personally lead the army to burn the wasteland. Everyone just thought it was a youthful joke. Could it be true?
So Datong Governor Shi Dao and Chief Military Officer Wang Sheng came to the mansion again to dissuade Governor Qin from staying in the other waves.

Wang Zongbing tried hard to persuade: "The supervisor is in the town of Xuanda, and he shoulders a heavy responsibility, so don't take it lightly!"

It's not that Wang Zongbing has so much affection for Governor Qin, sitting in his position is because he is really afraid that something will happen to Qin Dewei outside the Great Wall.

If that's the case, there will definitely be big trolls saying indiscriminately, the governor and civil servants have all gone to the battle to serve the country, why is the general in charge hiding behind?
Moreover, if there is a problem with the chief official and governor of the border, the responsibility will be investigated, and the military commander and general officer will easily be held responsible for poor security.

But after persuasion and persuasion, Governor Qin still refused to listen and insisted on going his own way.

Governor Shi also seemed very angry, and said harshly: "If the supervisor insists on his own opinion, please write down the release letter! Don't drag others down!"

Superintendent Qin was young and energetic, and seemed to have a temperament that could not be provoked, so he clapped the desk and said, "Just write it, I have nothing to do with you, no matter what happens to my supervisor!"

Coming out of the mansion, Governor Shi sighed and said, "Meeting such a supervisor is really a headache."

Wang Zongbing said with concern: "Yes, such things as burning wasteland have always been divided into parts, and they can be set on fire separately along the hundreds of miles of side walls.

But the supervisor insisted that the soldiers and horses go to Datong Right Guard to gather first, which was unnecessary. "

Governor Shi said sarcastically: "I want to take the credit for going out of the fortress to burn wasteland, but I am afraid of death, so I mobilized thousands of fine cavalry guards!"

After discussing with each other, they had no choice but to go back separately.

In the early morning of the next day, Governor Qin set off with his own soldiers and hurried to Datong Youwei for a day.

Then settled down at the local station, waiting for the soldiers and horses to gather everywhere.

According to a series of previous orders, two thousand soldiers from Xuanfu Town, one thousand soldiers from the Governor of Yanghe City, and two thousand soldiers from Datong Town were mobilized.

In addition to the 500 personal soldiers brought by the capital, the total is [-] people, all of whom are cavalry, and the above does not include the requisitioned or hired logistics service.

According to the time node set by Governor Qin, the soldiers and horses gathered together two days later, and they had an extra day of rest.

Then without any expedition ceremony, Governor Qin led [-] officers and soldiers to leave the fortress in a low-key manner, and set fire to the wasteland.

At this time, Qin Dewei was appointed Governor of Xuanda, but only a dozen days ago, and a rebellion was suppressed in the middle.

With the efficiency of today's logistics and transportation, it can be said that soldiers are expensive and fast.Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the border town is always in a state of preparation for war, so the mobilization and dispatch of troops is very fast.

The news that Governor Qin went out of the fortress from the right guard of Datong spread to the city of Datong on the same day.

On the next day, there was no other news. Governor Qin probably had gone deep into the desert and was temporarily cut off from the mainland.

Datong Governor Shi Dao suddenly left the Procuratorate and went to the General Military Mansion in person.

This surprised Wang Sheng, the commander-in-chief. The governor took the initiative to pay a visit to the commander-in-chief. This is simply a particularly wronged behavior, unless there are other special events.

Officials in the same city often met, and Governor Shi did not greet politely. He directly took out a brochure and showed it to Zongbing Wang.

Wang Zongbing took it and opened it to read, only to see that the title on the booklet reads: "The four major crimes of participating in the impeachment of Governor Xuanda, military affairs and Qin Dewei".

With just this line of writing, Wang Zongbing only felt his hands tremble, and he almost threw the notebook on the ground.

He forcibly raised his head and stared at Governor Shi again, why are you showing me this, you old bastard!

Governor Shi drank his tea calmly and signaled Wang Zongbing to continue looking down.

In fact, Wang Zongbing really wanted to throw away the booklet, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity. Anyway, Governor Qin was not in Datong City, so he couldn't kill anyone just by looking at it.

There is no need to read the previous formulas in detail, the focus is on the middle ones.

"The first crime is to fear the enemy like a tiger. The northern captives were in the south and went deep into Shanxi to plunder the people. Qin Dewei didn't think about attacking the enemy or intercepting them. Instead, he led his troops to the north and deliberately went against the enemy. He has never seen such fear of the enemy. The handsome minister is also, what is the use of the imperial court setting up Xuanda Governor!

The second crime is to deceive the court with false merit.Burning wasteland was a routine every year, Qin Dewei went out of the fortress with great fanfare, completely ignoring the dangers of the people in Shanxi behind him, and used the burning of wasteland as the main task to fool the court, covering up his incompetence and doing nothing!
The third crime is being stubborn and unable to understand military matters.There is a common way to go out to burn wasteland. Scattered teams are set on fire, and each team is responsible for several miles or ten miles. How can thousands of soldiers and horses go out together, how many miles can they burn?From this we can see the truth of its actions!

The fourth crime is false publicity, violating the rules of heaven, smuggling and collaborating with the enemy!I, Daming, cut off the tribute road with the northern captives, and a piece of tea and salt should not enter the Hu land.

However, Qin Dewei colluded with Liu Yong, the magistrate of Datong, in the name of sending troops to burn the wasteland, pretending to carry military supplies, but actually transporting them to the barbarians for trade and profit. This is collusion with the enemy and betraying the country! "

Seeing this, there is no need to continue to look down, Wang Zongbing raised his head again, and asked with a pale face: "What is Futai doing?"

Governor Shi pointed to the notebook, "Is it not clear enough?"

Wang Zongbing asked again: "The above is indeed very clear, but what I don't understand is, Futai, why show me it?"

Governor Shi didn't pretend to be confused, and said plainly: "This court wants to invite General Wang to participate in the grand event, and sign the petition together to impeach Qin Dewei who disrupted Datong's border affairs."

Wang Zongbing refused without even thinking about it, "I'm just a town general, so there's no reason to impeach the commander-in-chief!"

He was very clear about Governor Shi's calculations. If it was just a governor impeaching the governor, it might be a bit weak.

But if the governor and the chief military officer impeach the governor together, the weight will be very heavy.

From a third-party point of view, it is inevitable to subconsciously think that there is something wrong with the governor, otherwise why would the governor and the general soldier be impeached together.

But you civil servants tear dogs to bite dogs, don't involve him as a military general, he really can't afford to be a general who has no big backing!
Governor Shi put down his teacup and said with a sneer, "General Wang, you bribed the chieftain to answer this matter, you don't want the court to know, do you?"

Wang Zongbing: "."

He lowered his head and glanced at the crimes in the memorial. Wasn't your Governor Shi encouraging and connivance to go north to the fortress to burn wasteland?
Governor Qin concentrated his troops and horses to go out in person, isn't it also your governor Shi who deliberately provoked the general?
There is also this Governor Qin colluding with Liu Zhifu to smuggle this. As far as Wang Sheng knows, hasn't Liu Zhifu always been with you Governor Shi?

All kinds of things are inseparable from your Governor Shi. From the very beginning, you have been waiting to write this impeachment memorial?
Even if you, Governor Shi, are holding onto Wang Sheng's excuses to lure him away, is it to get rid of him at this time?

Governor Shi urged: "He who understands the current affairs is a hero, General Wang, why do you hesitate?"

Wang Zongbing sighed and said: "Then Qin Dewei is the emperor's favored minister, can such a memorial work? If it is useless, it will only suffer from it."

Governor Shi said with confidence: "Because the emperor favors his ministers, the backlash he suffers will be deeper!

The emperor was annoyed by the invasion of the northern captives, felt ashamed, and sent his most trusted minister to announce the grand supervisor.

But this most trusted vassal is deliberately fooling around, and is still taking the opportunity to smuggle for profit, how can he not be angry for nine days? "

Looking at Wang Zongbing who was still struggling, Governor Shi said again: "And don't forget, Qin Dewei is in the depths of the desert, cut off from the imperial court, he doesn't even have the chance to defend himself immediately!

No matter what we say, it is all preconceived, and it is only us who say it unilaterally!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In this situation, Qin Dewei has lost his best sophistry ability!
A Qin Dewei who has no chance to quibble and has no time to plan, what else can he have?
So General Wang, I don't think you need to think about it anymore, just sign it directly.Otherwise, the imperial court will know about you bribing me for an answer. "

Facing the threat, Wang Zongbing suddenly asked: "Is there anyone in the court who supports Futai?"

Governor Shi replied frankly: "Of course there are, and the status is higher than Qin Dewei."

After Wang Zongbing finished weighing, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will sign it!"

Governor Shi put away the booklet and laughed, "General Wang, you made a good choice, even if you don't oppose Qin Dewei today, will Qin Dewei let you go in the future?

In Qin Dewei's eyes, you are Zhang Zan's residual poison, which will be cleaned up sooner or later. You should have acted first, and I am helping you. "

 I have something to do at night and write wildly during the day
