lady, please calm down

Chapter 258 Yellow Robe Plus Experience Card

At dusk, Chen Mansion saw Cuitang's study.

"Is Zhao Ren in good health?"

Zhang Chunxiao took a sip of tea and asked after being appeased by Henan Road.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. My wife has recovered." Chen Chu cupped his hands and said.

Zhang Chunxiao will return to the Henan Road Administration Office in the near future. Before leaving, he came to confirm some things with Chen Chu again.

Now, the situation in Huaibei is initially settled, but the superiors have already begun to compete for the responsibilities of each government.

According to the original plan, Zuo Guoen, the prefect of Caizhou, transferred to Yingzhou, and Henan Road arranged for Chen Jingyan to replace him as the prefect. In exchange for the support of Chen Chu's troops who stayed in Shouzhou, and the cooperation of Henan Road's people, he became the governor of Shouzhou.

Zuo Guoen was trapped by the Tongshan clique in Caizhou and could not leave the government office, so he could only wish for a change of place.

He is a member of the Xiang Dang Party, Chen Jingyan is from the Tongshan Clan, and the prefect of Shouzhou must be a member of Zhang Chunxiao.

It seems that each of the three parties gets what they need and everyone is happy.

However, Liao Siyi, the former prefect of Yingzhou who was convicted of stealing and selling official grain, was a member of the rear party and was the only party to suffer in this exchange of interests.

According to Zhang Chunxiao, Qian Yinian, the leader of the later party, agreed at the court meeting that Zuo Guoen would be moved to be the prefect of Yingzhou, but he recommended Sun Changhao, a member of the Ministry of Revenue's right department, Cao Si, to come to Caizhou to take over the post of prefect.

His move neither caused any conflict with the Prime Minister nor usurped the interests of the local gangsters on Henan Road, but he wanted to seize the position that should belong to the Tongshan faction.

The Kiriyama group was treated as a soft persimmon by him.

"Who is Sun Changhao?" Chen Chu was displeased.

"Sun Changhao was born in Yingchuan"

"Yingchuan again?"

"Do you know Yuan Zhang?"

"do not know."

"Oh, he is the brother-in-law of Wu Weiguang, the Minister of Punishment."

"Oh, you are such a good person who does not shy away from relatives while promoting the virtuous."

Chen Chu couldn't help but ridicule, and at the same time he secretly despised Chen Jingyan in his heart. Third brother, you want to get married and climb high, but they want to steal your opportunity to make progress.

Zhang Chunxiao didn't know what Chen Chu was thinking, so he continued to explain: "Qian Shangshu also knows that without the support of Henan Road and Caizhou Civil and Military Affairs, Sun Changhao will not be able to achieve anything even if he takes office. I guess that Qian Shangshu did this deliberately , just want to get some benefits from Henan Road and Caizhou."

"What does he want?"

"We don't know yet. Yuan Zhang, don't worry. We at Henan Road have many ways to negotiate with you adults. As long as we don't agree, the superiors will not make appointments rashly. Let's wait and see what the adults want. In short, you and I We have a gentleman's agreement that the title of magistrate of Caizhou will eventually fall on Chen Tongzhi, and good things will come in time."

Being able to describe a naked exchange of interests as a 'gentleman's agreement' without changing his face made Chen Chu feel ashamed and couldn't help but sigh, "Okay."

As the sky turned dark, Zhang Chunxiao declined Chen Chu's offer to stay and went to the post house.

Today, when the army returned, Chen Chu hosted a banquet at home for a group of arrogant men, so Zhang Chunxiao didn't feel uncomfortable here.

Unity time.

Seeing many generals gathered in Cuitang Pavilion, the noise can be heard from more than ten feet away.

Except for Peng Er and Wu Kui who stayed in Shouzhou, almost all the rest of the team were there. In addition, there was also Xin Qiji, a member of the armed guards who was encamped in Zhengjiang Shuquan and led the people to protect themselves.
Knowing that they were coming to the Dutong Mansion for a banquet tonight, Jiang Shuquan's brothers Qin Dachuan, Lao Meng and others were even more excited than he himself.

"Jiang Yuhou! Those who can be invited to the Dutong's home as guests are all Dutong's confidants! I'm afraid Marquis Yu will be reused in the future!"

Qin Dachuan's guess was quite different from the actual situation.

Jiang Shuquan was originally a general under Kou Shizhong, the former commander of the Wuwei Army. Later, under the influence of Liu Siliang, he turned to the Suppressing Huai Army.

When he killed Kou Shizhong, he was promoted to Yingzheng for his meritorious service.

During the flood in Huaibei, he was familiar with the nature of water and led his brothers to build boats to block the breach.

In the process of wiping out the rebel army, he showed the same bravery and accumulated merits many times. Chen Chu did intend to promote him.

At the same time, there was also the intention to set Jiang Shuquan as a benchmark. We should not only give promotion opportunities to the original brothers. The middle and lower-level officers in the old Xiang army also needed to see the path of advancement, so that healthy competition could be formed in the army.

"Jiang Yuhou, when there is a flood, I Guanqin and my brothers are very good at swimming. Have you ever thought about going to Ningjiang Army?"

The Ningjiang Army has the only naval force under the jurisdiction of the Caizhou Left-behind Division. Jiang Shuquan was straightforward and said directly: "The general will go wherever you need me!"

"it is good!"

Chen Chu was quite satisfied with Jiang Shuquan's statement and couldn't help but said sadly: "Commander Ma Mao Xingma died on the battlefield, I am very sad! But the army will not be without generals for a day, so I will hand over the Ningjiang army to you."

In more than a year, Jiang Shuquan was so excited that he rose from a small squad general to the commander of an army. He was so excited that he didn't know how to express his gratitude to Chen Dutong for his kindness. He suddenly knelt down with a cry, clasped his fists in his hands, and his eyes were red. , "Thank you for the promotion, sir! I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Chen Chu stepped forward with a smile and helped the man up, but his face became serious, "You also know the rules of my stay-at-home department. Don't skimp or be greedy. As long as you can make Ningjiang Army reborn, I will naturally protect the wealth of you and your brothers." ! If you take something you shouldn’t take, Kou Shizhong will serve as a warning!”

"My lord, I will keep this in mind!"

"Go back to the banquet and have a bar. By the way, the seven sons of the Shi family who captured Li Kui are all very good at water. Such talents are indispensable for the reconstruction of the Ningjiang Army."

"When the general comes back, he will transfer them to our army."

"it is good"

The banquet starts at two o'clock in the morning.

During the dinner, Jiang Shuquan, who had just been promoted, naturally became the focus of everyone's invitation to drink.

The high-spirited Jiang Shuquan welcomes all comers and is naturally very lively.

Xiao Xin was a familiar person. He had been running around with the army of the Left-Behind Division for nearly a month. He had been hanging out with Zhou Liang, Liu Sixiang and others like brothers for many years, holding hands and talking to each other.

From time to time he recited one or two erotic poems.

The wave forced.

Even the fugitive generals, who were naturally not interested in scholars, also fell in love with this witty young man.

After all, he can sing, "The wine is getting stronger, the spring thoughts are wandering, and the mandarin duck embroidery is turned red by the red waves."
After drinking for three rounds, Chen Chu found an opportunity and walked up to a few people.

Here, Xiao Xin was whispering something. Zhou Liang, Liu Siliang, and Liu Baishun stretched out their heads and gathered together, listening attentively.

From time to time, I would exclaim, "Is it true?", "Can it still be like that?"

The eldest son, who was a little further away, was sitting upright, but he strained his ears to eavesdrop, looking like he wanted to understand but was shy.
"Cough cough~"

Chen Chu coughed, and several people looked up at the same time. The person involved was not panicked yet, but the eldest son who was eavesdropping on the side was startled and hurriedly explained: "Brother Chu, we are talking about poetry! They are all serious poetry!" Is it you?You know a poem about duck feathers!

Chen Chu was too lazy to pay attention to this fool, and turned to Xiao Xin with a smile: "Tanfu, what are your plans next?"

Several people hurriedly made an empty seat for Chen Chu to sit. Before Xiao Xin could reply, Zhou Liang said: "Tanfu, let's do it with our brothers! Wouldn't it be fun to get together like this every day?"

Xiao Xin smiled and said nothing, seeming a little tempted, but also worried.

His wife's family is in Yingzhou, and the people he leads are all from Fanjiawei. Whether he joins the Huai Suppression Army or not is not his decision alone.

Chen Chu seemed to have guessed his concerns and couldn't help but smile and said: "If Tanfu is so determined, why not go back to your hometown and organize three or two thousand Xiangyong? I will send a few Zhenhuai Military School Lieutenants to help you train. If the Xiangyong is trained, It can also keep the place safe and save your wife and children from being frightened when they encounter thieves again."

The word "Qiji" in Xiao Xin's name was taken by Ah Weng after the famous general Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty. Just from the name alone, we can see the expectations of his family for him, and he himself does not reject the military.

Although Chen Chu's suggestion was good, there were many unsolvable problems. He couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Chen, it's okay to only train one hundred and eighty villagers. If there are more people in the organization, the Yingzhou government will definitely be afraid and will definitely Come here to cause trouble. Besides, 2000 people cannot be supported by a small Fanjiawei."

"Have you forgotten, Tanfu, that before the rebellion was over, I have the power to act as my brother? With my endorsement, who dares to cause trouble for you? As for military pay and food, there is no need to worry, I, the Caizhou Left-behind Division, will fully support it." !”

After saying this, several people around him were stunned at the same time. Three or two thousand young people eating and chewing is not a small sum. Brother Chu loves Xiao Xin so much.

Only Liu Siliang took a few breaths to figure it out. Even though his boss had the power to specialize, he didn't want to interfere in Yingzhou's military affairs. His boss supported Xiao Xin in organizing Xiangyong in the local area, so he intervened in Yingzhou. Got a nail!

The provision of military pay and food means that this rural warrior can only rely on his employer.

He could figure it out, and Xiao Xin could naturally figure it out. He smiled at Chen Chu and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, I am willing, but the eldest brother also knows the situation in my family. This matter needs to be discussed with my father-in-law. Fan."

"Okay, I'll wait for good news from Tanfu."

Chen Chu was not impatient and said with a smile.

However, Liu Siliang saw some clues from his boss's advance planning, and he couldn't help but use the strength of his wine to persuade him: "My boss, if you ask me, it is all thanks to my boss's efforts that the rebellion in Huaibei can be calmed down. The imperial court must at least give my boss some help." Get a Jieduzhao Dangdang!"

"Correct!"

"Brother Si, you are right!"

"Absolutely! If it weren't for Brother Chu, Huaibei would be in a terrible state now! If the court doesn't appoint a military governor and give Brother Chu the power to open a government, it will chill the hearts of our soldiers!"

"Yes, yes! Let's talk to Master Zhang and Inspector Cao tomorrow!"

With Liu Si's words, Jiancuitang immediately exploded.

"Tomorrow's parade is a big day for all our left-behind officers, so don't mess around!"

Chen Chu smiled and scolded, and then suppressed the excitement of the crowd.

After this battle, it goes without saying that the generals were rewarded, but limited by the territory of the left-behind department, the promotions that everyone could get were limited.
Just imagine, if Brother Chu can be appointed as the governor of Huaibei, the Cai, Ying, and Shou mansions currently under his control will be free to control the three cities.

How many commanders are there for the Xiang army under the Three Prefectures?
In the final analysis, only if Brother Chu continues to rise, can everyone make progress accordingly.

Everyone complained about Brother Chu, and they also complained about their own future.
However, although Brother Chu said that everyone would not be allowed to cause trouble tomorrow, he did not say that no one would be allowed to cause trouble the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and next month.

As long as the court is unfair and dares not to let our Chu brother progress, we will have to show our teeth to the court and let them know who has the biggest fist in the land of Huaibei!

Chen Chu looked around the room full of "Zhongliang" and suddenly understood Zhao Kuangyin.

If there is a chance one day, the brothers below will probably let Chen Chu experience the feeling of "wearing a yellow robe".

At the end of Haishi.

When Chen Chu went out to pee, Yang Dalang, who had not spoken much tonight, took the initiative to follow him.

After going out, the two smiled at each other and walked towards the hut.

"Brother Chu, what you said just now makes some sense. If we are too docile, the court will not take us seriously, and no good thing will happen to us."

"Well, I have concerns about this matter. No matter whether the court gives the title of Jiedu Envoy or not, we will not spit out the meat that we put into our mouths."

The meat in his mouth naturally refers to Yingzhou and Shouzhou. "By the way, have Dalang's family affairs been arranged? After the parade tomorrow, is it okay for you to go to Shouzhou to take charge?"

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Recently, Yang Dalang has been very reticent due to matters related to the back house.

His legitimate son was killed before he was born. Nie Ronger lost half his life and is still in bed recuperating. Thinking of his child, he often cries secretly.

Yang Dalang spent a lot of effort to appease his wife's grandfather and his family.

The two of them walked forward in silence. After entering the latrine, they stood side by side in front of the toilet. Their movements of lifting their clothes and taking out their utensils were quite synchronized.

There is even some uniform beauty.

In order to relieve the dull atmosphere, Chen Chu glanced down at Dalang and sneered: "Besides, he still looks like a bird."

"A bird is not like a bird, can it turn into a dragon and fly away?"

Yang Dalang retorted and glanced at Chen Chu. He couldn't help but wonder: "Hey, Brother Chu is a little older than when he was in Qifengling."

"I'm young and still growing."

"scoff~"

"Hahaha~"

"Hahaha"

The two laughed inexplicably for a while, and then fell into silence again.

Yang Dalang suddenly whispered in an apologetic tone: "Brother Chu, when that poisonous woman gives birth to a child, I will give an explanation to my sister-in-law."

The senior management of the left-behind department had all heard that Mao'er's serious illness was closely related to Xu Zhen'er.

Therefore, Yang Dalang rarely meets Chen Chu recently, perhaps because of guilt.

Chen Chu shook his head and said, "Dalang, the person you should answer to is your wife."

"The doctor said that Rong'er is afraid that it will be difficult for him to have children in the future. I have thought about it. When Xu Zhen'er gives birth to a child, I will give it to Rong'er to raise."

This was a family matter of the Yang family. Chen Chu didn't express any opinions and the two of them walked out of the hut side by side.

Yang Dalang suddenly sighed again, "Hey, look at your family, Yu Nong is pregnant, and my sister-in-law and Cai Sanniang rushed to protect her. Why did something like this happen to my family?"

"Maybe it's my fate." Chen Chu gave a reasonable explanation.
