Chapter 268: National Guard (1)

8days ago Historical fiction 7
Before leaving Nanzhili, he arrived at Huangzhou Prefecture.

Huangzhou Prefecture is already the boundary of Huguang. It seems that the territory of King Xiang Zhang Ning is not far from the area controlled by King Han.

However, Huangzhou Prefecture is not the destination, and most of Huguang are still under the control of the imperial government army.

Zhu Heng was low-key all the way, and when he was in a foreign land, he could only obey the arrangements of the people who rescued him in everything, and he followed everything.

Huguang is indeed a place that makes him feel unfamiliar with his life.

Zhu Heng only visited Huguang once in his life. It was many years ago when he was young and was young and entered the gentry class, so he traveled around the world to increase his knowledge. In fact, where he went, he was famous mountains and scenic spots. When he visited Huguang, he only went to Yueyang Tower in Yuezhou.

Looking back on the past, when I recite Fan Zhongyan's worry about the world before, and then enjoy the world after being full of confidence, the mind that God is about to give great responsibilities to this person is vivid in my mind; but now, I can only feel sad that things are changing. If I can climb Yueyang Tower again, I am afraid that only Du Fu's relatives and friends are not a word, and there is a lonely boat in old age and sickness.

Zhu Heng was very unwilling to give up, but he could not control his mood at this moment.

A few days later, the group carefully passed Yiyang from Dongting Hunan. The Peach Blossom Fairy said that she had reached the territory controlled by the Vermilion Bird Army. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. On other places, they were inevitably worried. Even if nothing happened, they were always worried and it was really difficult to live.

The people who were stepping on the road ahead came back and said that there were soldiers coming to Changde Mansion to welcome them, so that their safety would be completely guaranteed.

Just as Zhu Heng and others rode their horses to a hillside, they suddenly heard a cannon. The horse under Zhu Heng was so shocked that he ran a few steps. He tried his best to hold the reins before controlling it, and he was also shocked.

This place is still dozens of miles away from the city. Could it be that I still encounter an accident when I am about to arrive?

Suddenly, a whole line of horses raised flags appeared on the hillside, and then a large number of cavalry appeared in line. The knights were wearing all-colored armor, wide-edged iron helmets, and various high bird feathers were swaying in the wind. The people and horses looked very spectacular for a while.

After a while, I saw a majestic young man wearing a gray cloth uniform and a square scarf hat riding forward in the soldiers. After a closer look, who was not Zhang Ning?

Zhang Ning shouted, rode his horse and ran up quickly, and immediately clasped his fists with joy and said: Brother Zhu, I have been waiting for you to arrive, and we finally meet again today.

The prince actually went out of the city to greet him for dozens of miles. Zhu Heng was both surprised and surprised. No matter what else, it depends on how he did it. This sincerity was already very sufficient.

Zhu Heng quickly turned over and dismounted, then bowed and bowed: Don’t dare, how can I be treated as such a courtesy for the prince?

Zhang Ning jumped off the horse directly, looking lively; he also looked at the cavalry around him, all of whom were very angry with his head held high, which really made people feel relieved.

Zhang Ning stepped forward and supported Zhu Heng. You are my Guan Zhong and Leyi, you deserve everything!

He pointed to the army behind him and said, "This is our people. The arrival of Mr. today will make the Suzaku Army more powerful, and you and I can join in the great cause together in the future.

Zhu Heng hurriedly said: Now that the prince is not abandoning him, I am very honored to be honest. I only regret that I am not talented and shallow, and I dare not be arrogant.

Zhang Ning held his hand and patted Zhu Heng on the shoulder directly, sir, no need to worry about anything.

He looked back and said, now that the strong enemy is on the side, the current situation is difficult, but the fate of the Zhuque Army is actually integrated, and only by working together can we survive. We can recruit talents from all over the world, which is the road to self-improvement, as the saying goes, "Heaven moves vigorously, and gentlemen strive for self-improvement."If someone doesn’t know the general and only cares about internal strife, what’s the use of this king for him?Brothers, have you forgotten my king's instructions?

The cavalry general shouted: Unity!The troops immediately shouted: Glory!

Although there were only about a thousand horses coming, they were so angry that they were like thunder. After shouting, the soldiers were in high spirits and raised their arms to cheer.

Zhu Heng felt that he was welcomed as soon as he arrived.

Zhu Heng's emotions were shaken and it was difficult to remain calm. He said excitedly: The prince treats me with his national talents, and I will repay the emperor with his national talents and never let them down!

I should remember what Mr. said today, let’s talk about it when we go back to the city.Zhang Ning smiled and brushed his arms, his love for talent was beyond words.

The general of the army shouted: Say salute to Zhubutang!

There was only a sound of neatly rubbing armor, and the soldiers of the army raised their left arms, facing their palms down, and made a special etiquette.

He did not look down on his rituals, but he seemed to be a friend of a gentleman.

What made Zhu Hengman feel even more blushed was that the soldiers looked at him when they saluted, making him a person who was very much attracted to the public.

When he entered the city, Zhang Ning first took Zhu Heng to the official office, and all the officials of the Senate Department and the officials of Changde Prefecture came to the door to greet him.

Zhang Ning introduced important personnel to Zhu Heng one by one. There were too many people and he couldn't finish it at the moment, so he bowed to the Lords to show his acquaintance.

Zhu Henggang came from afar and was covered in dust. He had never taken a bath and changed his clothes for many days. But at this time, these external things were no longer important, and Changde's bureaucrats still had a good attitude and respected them very well.

Zhang Ning said in public: Zhu Butang served as Minister of War in Nanjing and was the chief minister in charge of the defense of the river. The 200,000 elite troops in the imperial court were unable to cross the river for a long time, and Zhu Butang made an indelible contribution.

After hearing this, everyone expressed their respect and admiration.

Of course, everyone's attitude is not mainly because of these things, but... No one in Changde Prefecture, he patted the shoulders and sat on an equal footing posture, I am afraid that everyone would not dare to underestimate him.

Then Zhang Ning said goodbye to the officials and took Zhu Heng and his son to the front of a mansion on Fuqian Street.

Zhu Heng looked up and saw a plaque hanging on it with the words: Zhu Mansion.

There is also a wooden sign on the side of the door: the Senate of the Senate of the Ming Empire.

Zhu Heng looked back at Zhang Ning and saw him smiling without saying a word.

Zhu Heng quickly realized that this was a residence specially prepared for him, and even the plaque was built in advance.

He moved and said: The prince was at the beginning of his business, so he didn't have to spend money on his husband. It would be enough for his subordinates to live in the office.

Zhang Ning shook his head and said: Although sir, he is a true man.A real man should have a leap and prestige.Look at the guard, your guard, and the guards are all available.Mr. De, just as the blade is used, the King of Japan will appoint you as the Senate and will pay a public honor to the seal another day.

Zhu Heng hurriedly thanked him, but he was not sure what official he was called the Senate President.

Zhang Ning seemed to see what he thought, and then explained: The three ministers of the Central Secretariat in the Tang Dynasty and the two ministers of the Central Secretariat in the Song Dynasty. Our Senate Department is equivalent to this kind of organization in the governance of the country. It is in charge of everything and mainly in military affairs. It is just because our military and political scale is not large, and there is no need to create a bloated organization, so a Senate Department is replaced.

Zhu Heng knew this. It turned out that the Senate was the center of power and the real power was the key to the yamen.If the forces controlled by the Suzaku Army can be called an empire, then Zhu Heng is almost the same as Bai Xiang.

After a while, as soon as Zhang Ning stroked his hand, a soldier brought a copper plate covered with red cloth.

Zhang Ning lifted it up and said with a smile: Three hundred taels of gold, just as a new official in the court has to receive official clothes, robes and settlement fees when he takes office, I have to pay Mr. Zhu a settlement fee.Although it is a bit vulgar, please do not refuse.

Only those who chant Feng and Yue can say that real money and silver are vulgar, but this thing is truly real.

Zhu Heng was stunned for a moment, then he took it with pleasure and asked his son to take it and thank him. He was also a cheerful person. He dared to take advantage of the benefits, so he was ready to take it out some skills and deserve it.

Zhu Heng, who was just as a lost dog, was already filled with emotion when he was so generous.

He thought to himself: If you know this, why are you still living in Nanjing for so long?

It was long time to come and defect to Zhang Ning. Even if nothing happened in the end, I felt relieved in this situation now!

The two of them entered Zhu Heng's new home surrounded by their subordinates and found a hall to sit in.Zhang Ning naturally sat in the upper seat, and Zhu Heng and the accompanying official general sat on one side.

As soon as Zhu Heng sat down, he asked in a casual tone: Before this, I wonder who the Senate was?

Zhang Ning laughed and said: The Senate President was originally Xu Guangcai, and I often call him Old Xu. He was the one who followed me in his early years and was a little older.

When Zhang Ning appointed Lao Xu as a key member of the central government, he mainly valued Lao Xu as a reliable confidant.

However, when it comes to ability, it is quite reliable for Lao Xu to do something specific, but Yu Daluo really has no cultivation. In his early years, he was just a middle-level general and had no experience in coordinating the overall situation. Moreover, what could he do when he left the officialdom for many years and was in a mess?

As for the others under Zhang Ning, there are almost no real talent, and no one is available; so since Zhang Ning started his army, all strategic plans have come from his own hands. It is not easy for the Senate Department to be implemented in detail, and Zhang Ning often asks for the method.

But Zhu Heng is different. He has been a professional bureaucrat since his debut. He is not only proficient in the rules of files and documents and administrative operations, but also has the experience of climbing to a high-ranking official and has obvious experience in the officialdom and has the ability to control others. Moreover, unlike ordinary bureaucrats, Zhang Ning feels that this person is quite knowledgeable and thoughtful.

First, when in Le'an, so many people were helpless, and only Zhu Heng could see the King of Han; the correct strategy of advancing south; second, the civil war in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The King of Han was completely passive and had to do with Zhu Heng's contribution. Although the Yangtze River was a natural danger, it was dead and people were alive. The river defense was not strong enough. The dynasty on the south bank of the Yangtze River was never able to protect the country when the general situation was unfavorable; third, Zhu Heng recently submitted a suggestion to the King of Han, advocating learning tactics from the Zhuque army, which was completely inferior to the King of Han army, which was also a reflection of a vision.

Many people are hindsight. Not everyone can see the situation quickly and keenly like Zhu Heng.

Therefore, Zhang Ning is very optimistic about Zhu Heng now and thinks that he is a talent that integrates tradition and pioneering spirit...

Although a yard, three hundred taels of gold is expressed very strongly, for people of Zhu Heng, Zhang Ning’s cost is actually very low. In the wealthy capital of Nanjing, three hundred taels of gold is nothing in the officialdom.
