Chapter 1680 Qing army plunders

Fang Yun was about to answer Dong Wencong when suddenly there was an urgent message. Then, Fang Yun and Dong Wencong looked at each other and both realized that the other party had also received it.

Fang Yun took out his official seal and scanned it with his mind. The urgent message was jointly issued by the Cabinet and the Marshal's Office. After reading it, the two raised their heads and looked at each other again.

In the name of conquering Moyao Mountain, the Qing Kingdom's army rushed into the border of Xiangzhou, plundered, and was heading to Moyao Mountain.

The person who discovered this incident was Qu Che, the general of Taihe Prefecture. After getting the news, he reported it directly to the cabinet and the Marshal's Office in accordance with the rules.

Fang Yun's face darkened slightly.

Dong Wencong immediately said displeased: "This Qu Che has no boss. Without you, this matter can indeed be reported to the cabinet and the marshal's office. After all, the governor of the state cannot handle the military dispute between the two countries. But with you as the governor here, , even if the court stipulates that you are not allowed to directly manage military affairs, he should send a letter to the governor after reporting it to the cabinet and the marshal's office. "

Fang Yun said: "If I remember correctly, he is not a Qing official."

Dong Wencong sighed softly and said: "This Qu Che is a typical neutral and cannot offend anyone. He is afraid that after passing the letter to you, he will be criticized by Qingguan, so he reports to the government step by step. However, he did this Bad.”

Fang Yun said: "What a fool! It probably took an hour from the time the border soldiers discovered Qingjun, to the time he returned to the camp to report, and then to the time he passed the letter near the temple and reported it. After the government received the news, it would naturally hold an emergency meeting. Not long before the meeting. Any information may be leaked during the meeting. The party will inevitably delay the meeting, and the government will not issue a summons until the meeting is over. It has been at least two hours since the beginning. The Qing army came well prepared. Two hours is enough to travel a hundred miles, and now it is afraid that it has reached the area of ​​Moyao Mountain. . Once it enters the scope of Mo Yao Mountain, Xiangzhou cannot deal with it!”

Dong Wencong said helplessly: "There is no way, the Holy Court has the rules of the Holy Court, and the Qing army is dealing with foreign enemies. If we interfere, they will definitely bite us back and make us embarrassed. I am not opposed to this kind of rules, but the Qing army It is obvious that they are using this rule to attack Jingguo. In terms of geographical location, there is nothing wrong with the Qing army taking advantage of it, but it is too much to carry out the robbery without informing Jingguo about Xiangzhou. "

Fang Yun said: "Let's go to the Governor's Mansion now to find Governor Fang. He is always in the army and will know more about this matter than I do. But I...have never led an army to guard the border between the two countries."

Fang Yun just wanted to say that he had led an army but was not stationed at the border between the two countries, but he changed his mind.

Fang Yun actually led the army three times, once in Shushan, but his memory is a little blurry, and he only fought against monsters and barbarians. The second time was when he led the army in the Chu Kingdom of Kong Shengwen, and the third time was when he participated in the battle in Liangjie Mountain, both of which are the same as now. The situation is different.

This is a conflict between the two countries within the human race involving the military. Fang Yun has not dealt with this matter, and he currently has no military power. However, after thinking about it for a while, Fang Yun figured out a way to circumvent the military power.

Not long after, the two arrived at the Governor's Mansion, and were greeted at the door by Fang Shouye and other military generals.

Fang Yun and Dong Wencong had just stood firm, but before they could take a step, they saw a Jinshi general saying loudly: "This is an important place for military affairs, civilian officials should avoid it!"

Most of the generals looked at the Jinshi general in astonishment. It was obvious that this person had been preparing for a long time just to make things difficult for Fang Yun at this moment.

Only a few generals looked indifferent, without any expression on their faces, they just stared at Fang Yun.

Fang Shouye was extremely embarrassed, but the general was right. Without the temporary documents issued by the Marshal's Mansion, not even the governors of the two states, not even the left prime minister, could even think of entering the Governor's Mansion. However, this rule was established more than two hundred years ago. Established during the war, no one has followed it for more than a hundred years.

Fang Yun was about to enter the Governor's Mansion as Xu Sheng when he immediately realized something was wrong. He glanced at the Jinshi general again and nodded: "Yes, this general is loyal to his duty. I almost neglected it. I will apply to the Marshal's Mansion for passage." Documents.”

It was quiet in front of the Governor's Mansion, no one said a word, and the two lions at the door looked more majestic.

Fang Shouye snorted coldly and said: "This matter is of great importance, and it is related to the reputation of our Xiangzhou military. Under such circumstances, there are still people blocking Governor Fang, which may be suspected of choking. However, I can distinguish the priorities. , Let’s not discuss this matter first, and wait for the temporary approval document from Governor Fang.”

People who do not serve in the military cannot obtain long-term valid documents.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Just twenty breaths later, Fang Yun stretched out his hand and saw the geese flying away, condensing into words and floating in front of everyone, forming a temporary document with several large seals stamped underneath.

The soldiers present felt their hearts tremble. They all knew that Fang Xusheng had great reputation, but they did not expect it to be so great.

The process of distributing temporary documents is not simple, and it is a temporary document of the Dudu Mansion, which must be stamped by the Grand Marshal Jingguo himself before it can be formed.

After Fang Yun's letter arrives at the Marshal's Mansion, it must go through the first review and then be passed to the general on duty. The general on duty will then pass the letter to the Marshal and the barracks responsible for approval and review, and wait until the marshal and the barracks stamp their seals. Finally, the general on duty would stamp his seal, and then rush to send a letter to Fang Yun. After that, add the paper temporary pass documents.

Generally speaking, it takes three days for the temporary pass document from the Governor's Office to be issued, but it took less than thirty days to use it.

"Can I go in?" Fang Yun asked.

"Please, Lord Governor!" Fang Shouye gave way first, and the other generals immediately moved to both sides, leaving a path for Fang Yun.

After Fang Yun entered the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, he sat unceremoniously in the main seat, while Fang Shouye sat in the deputy seat with him.

Fang Shouye coughed lightly and said, "Your Excellency, you are here at the Governor's Mansion for the Qing army's robbery of the people of Xiangzhou?"

Fang Yun nodded, looked around at the generals who had already sat down, and said: "You must already know this. I have no military power, but the Qing army has injured the people. Unless the imperial court sends an imperial envoy, I cannot stand idly by."

An old general said: "Mr. Governor, you must be careful about this matter."

The old general didn't say much, but everyone understood that he was advising Fang Yun to be careful about overstepping his authority. Once the governor overstepped his authority, the leftist party would definitely have a way to overthrow Fang Yun.

Fang Yun nodded and said: "I already have a plan in mind. On the way, I have submitted my opinions to the cabinet and the marshal's office. If the imperial court does not send an imperial envoy on this matter, then Xiangzhou officials should form a Qing Dynasty. The temporary military affairs room for military border crossing incidents will be handled by officials in the military affairs room.”

The generals present immediately understood that if the imperial court sent an imperial envoy, Fang Yun would be able to take care of it, and nothing would be affected. This was what Qingguan and the Left Chancellor Party least wanted to see.

What the Left Chancellor Party and Qing Officials most want to see is for the State Shepherd, the Governor-General's Palace, and the Dudu's Palace to be in charge respectively, so that the Qing Officials can interfere and make the situation even more chaotic.

But now, Fang Yun wants to build a military service room. On the surface, it is a joint effort between the Governor's Office, the State Shepherd's Office, and the Dudu's Office, but in fact, he is taking over the military power!

Once the military service room was established, the general secretary must be the governor, but Fang Yun turned the governor's office and the temporary military service room into one yamen with two plaques. The original top military person in charge of Xiangzhou was changed from Fang Shouye to Fang Yun. From then on, Fang Yun If you are lucky, you don’t need to be careful about overstepping your authority at all times.
