Beiyang new warlord

The shackles were opened one by one, and they had been locked up for more than three months. The road to freedom was finally revealed in front of their eyes. Unfortunately, the gentlemen completely lost that joy. They were gnashing their teeth and twisting their fists. There was a rattling sound, if the soldiers around Mao Jue were not all tall and strong, like animals, they would have wished to play on the fine traditions of the literati of the Ming Dynasty, go up and tear up Mao Jue, and snatch the booklet back.

"Master Xue, you have an idea, what should we do?"

Qingqiu County Magistrate Yu Master's sad face looked like a fish, Xue Qian, who heard this, flicked his sleeves angrily.

"The old man knows where to go!"

"Let's take a step by step!"

Sighing, more than a hundred rice worms shook their heads and milk, and finally came out of this cage.

Lushun was breached by Houjin, but the Dongjiang Fleet can still supply supplies along the coast and near the islands. More than half of the property collected by the White Lotus Sect has been sent back to Tieyi. The screening of the rebels is similar. For Mao Jue, this war is It's almost over. As for how the court will react, to be honest, Mao Jue is not interested. Last time he killed more than 1000 soldiers, the court issued a compensation of [-] taels of silver. The difference is that the salary will not be increased by a few taels. What he wants most now is to return to Dongjiang as soon as possible and continue to live his comfortable life.

But just after setting up these local snakes, another dragon crossing the river came to this small Dengzhou city at night.

Dodge! Back off! The two big signs are raised high. There are people beating gongs in front, people carrying sedan chairs in the back, and cavalry on the left and right to clear the way. To be honest, it’s not like Mao Jue, a governor-level official, has seen them before. There are several in Liaodong, like Shandong. It was the first time he saw Governor Yu Dacheng posing like this.

To what extent is Ming Dynasty noble and military, the chief soldier needs to kneel when he sees the governor, and Mao Jue, the deputy general, needs to kneel to greet him. Unfortunately, he didn't intend to sell the face of this old man with bones in the grave. Impatient with waiting, Mao Jue bowed perfunctorily to the governor's guard of honor.

"The last general, Mao Jue, pays his respects to the Deputy Master!"

"Meet Lord Futai!"

Mao Jue didn't abuse the local gentry who were released. Although they were still hungry like vampires, they all put on long gowns and became like dogs.

Following Mao Jue, they also saluted one after another, while those in Qingqiu County, who were not as good as before, simply knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

After bending over, the side of the sedan chair was left to dry for a few minutes before an arrogant voice came out.

"It's said that Deputy General Mao is domineering, and it's true at first sight! This barbarian outside the pass is really uneducated! I don't understand etiquette!"

After such an evaluation, he actually ignored the people who greeted him, and the governor's sedan chair swayed into the city gate as if no one was there.

"Fuck!"

Passing by Mao Jue, the butler of Yufu, who looked like a son of a bitch, rolled his eyes contemptuously. Wen Meng, who was behind him in anger, immediately had a blue vein on his forehead, and turned around to teach that foolish guy why Hua'er was so popular. But he was grabbed by Mao Jue.

"There's no need to argue with a dead man!"

Straightening up, looking at the mighty guard of honor of the governor, Mao Jue pinched his waist and twisted his butt in disdain.

Chapter 2 Fifteen. I won't give you face

It’s really the governor’s pomp and circumstance. As soon as he entered the city, Yu Dacheng directly occupied Wang Hua’anxiu’s Buddha Palace, which was the former Governor’s Mansion of Denglai Road. The restaurant in the city was gone, and the housekeeper ran to Mao Jue In the barracks, you want this and that.

At present, this guy is still the governor of Shandong, so there is no need to be bitten back by him, and he is not short of the money. Mao Jue gave him whatever he wanted, but the first day stopped, and the next morning, Mao Jue went to visit again. I wanted to send this guy away quickly, but who knew that the door was shut down again, and the governor hasn't woken up yet, so come later!

It wasn't until noon that the governor's mansion sent someone to invite Mao Jue to the mansion. This air was really good.

But don't say, is the cook in Yufu really built? The same mutton, fish, and similar seasonings are stewed by Mao Jue's military camp. Inviting Mao Jue, more than 100 local gentry here, all of them who hadn't left were invited, and the room was full.

Smelling the scent, I haven't touched meat for three months, and all the gentlemen are drooling.

As an official, Mao Jue naturally walked to the main table. On that table, Xue Silian, the former chief envoy of Shanxi, Yu Wenyu, the former magistrate of Qingqiu County, and Wang Hanlin, who was a Jinshi but did not serve as an official, were all among them. , but the county magistrate is not as good as he is now, no matter how beautiful it was before, Yu Da is still the center of the table.

This is also the first time that Mao Jue saw Yu Dacheng. This Shandong governor fit the requirements of being an official in the Ming Dynasty. Now, some wrinkles appear on his face, but his sky is still plump and radiant, a bit like Di Renjie in the TV series.

It's just that after being an official for a while, Mao Jue has more or less learned the art of matching people. The bloodshot eyes that spread in his eyes still exposed the hidden anxiety.

It didn't take too long to look at it, and the etiquette that should be there is still indispensable. Mao Jue clasped his fists and bowed, and said as respectfully as possible.

"The last general pays his respects to the governor!"

Seeing that there were all smiling faces, who knew, at this juncture, Yu Dacheng suddenly turned his face, and suddenly became an angry King Kong, slapped the table with a bang, and yelled loudly.

"Bold Mao Jue, are you guilty?"

Just like the tossing cups in the novel, with a clatter, from the corridor and the back hall, a ticket and a half knife was unsheathed, and the menacing governor's mansion mark, following the sound of footsteps, Yu Dacheng stood up proudly, It's like singing an opera.

"When the military order arrived, I disobeyed the order and almost caused Laizhou to fall! This is a crime!"

"Not doing all the work, allowing the remnants of the rebels to flee overseas, this is the second crime!"

"As a general of the Dongjiang River, you are deeply favored by the emperor, but you are domineering, neglecting your duties, and failing to live up to your sacred heart. This old man is very heartbroken, but I think you are still young, this official"

The play can't go on here.

Yu Dacheng's eyes were wide open, and he looked at the door in disbelief. Seven or eight palace signs rushed out from the back hall, and they were kicked back by Kong Youde's big kick. Amidst the crackling sound of metal falling to the ground, he could vaguely hear the mang The roar of the husband and the crackling of fists and feet into the flesh.

The door was a lot more feminine, each with a strange-looking short firearm, halfway through the charge, the mansion froze, with the muzzle of a gun on his forehead, Mao Leng was very polite, and even pinched himself in a very gay way. The captain of the personal guard slapped his buttocks, and smiled cheaply.

"Brother, we hit it off right away, how about going out for a drink or two?"

In the frightened and begging eyes of the captain of the personal army, he was pushed out by Mao Li, who raised his orchid finger.

The Governor's Mansion Biao was considered an elite soldier, and was easily taken away by these few brought by Mao Jue. The toughness of the soldiers outside the pass made the gentry gasp again.

This Yu Dacheng choked there for a long time and couldn't fart. Mao Jue was impatient, and directly took out the military dispatch order that had been used as a shield several times.

"Master Yu is optimistic. The order given to me by the Ministry of War is to be placed under the command of Lord Sun, the governor of Denglai Road, to encircle and suppress the Bailian rebels. Does Master Yu have an order from the Ministry of War to place all the troops under the command of your lord?"

"But Mr. Sun is dead, and I am the governor of Shandong!"

"What proof do you have that Lord Sun is dead?"

Before Yu Dacheng could finish his argument, Mao Jue had already stepped forward unceremoniously, humming disdainfully.

"Who knows if Mr. Sun is avoiding the edge for the time being? Mr. Yu, since you don't have a transfer order from the Ministry of War, the order you issued is to overstep your authority by order. I will go to Yushitai to impeach you!"

It's really aggressive, and I've never seen a military officer dare to stand up to their civil servants to such an extent, his mouth was trembling with anger, Yu Dacheng yelled angrily.

"It is the court's custom that local officials command all military attaches during wartime. This government is the governor of Shandong. When Mr. Sun is away, this official will naturally be the commander of all the soldiers and horses in Shandong."

"That's also where the local officials came to the front line in person! Throughout the Battle of Denglai, Master Yu, you have been huddled in Jinan, the provincial capital, until Ben General conquered Dengzhou. I will report the truth to the court!"

In a word, Yu Dacheng's old face suddenly changed. In fact, from yesterday to today, this series of putting on airs, pressuring officials and questioning crimes all revolve around one core, the issue of command power.

Because the right to command is a symbol of merit! If this is reported, Yu Dacheng commanded Mao Jue and defeated the White Lotus Sect bandits, and the big head would fall on Yu Dacheng's head, but if Mao Jue insisted, he would not be able to show any strength. If he was shot down by himself, then he will be cold, so he can stay where he is cool, throw off all the troops, and rush over with a light car, this guy is here to claim credit.

It's a pity that Mao Jue lacked a city mansion after experiencing Jiangnan. In any case, he just didn't want this fat man to share the credit.

Why?

After the conversation fell apart, Yu Dacheng's old face changed into a sinister smile again, facing Mao Jue's young face full of anger, he suddenly laughed and pointed around.

"That's up to you, General Mao, all the old folks are sharp-eyed! They all know that our government has made important contributions in this war. If you insist on going your own way, let alone military exploits, you may even be impeached and questioned! You Think it over!"

Threatening, the old guy looked at Mao Jue gloomyly, smiling and nodding his head with the same look of winning.
