In all respects, Fang Zhenshan is a very contradictory person.

He was originally a literati, but he abandoned literature to join the military and join the army to worship generals; is obviously a military attaché, but he maintains the way of thinking of a literati; Fang Zhenshan, who is between civil and military, not only has the different advantages of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, but also has the respective defects of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, such as the cautious and shrewd and indecisive of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, such as the pragmatic style of the military attache of the border army, and the self-respect of the army, all of which are reflected in Fang Zhenshan.

Since he served as the chief guard of Guyuan Military Town, Guyuan Military Town has gradually been branded by Fang Zhenshan! Low-key, cautious, self-protection first, and constantly accumulate strength!

Over the years, if it does not touch its own interests, Guyuan Military Town has always actively responded to the call and order of the trilateral governor, which can be described as a model for the border army, but if the order of the trilateral governor violates the interests of Guyuan Military Town, Guyuan Military Town will find all kinds of reasons to delay and perfunctory, and do not contribute to the work, but under Fang Zhenshan's cautious measures, the trilateral governor's palace often can't find any fault, so it can only be helpless.

But no matter what, Fang Zhenshan would never explicitly disobey the orders of the Trilateral Governor's Office.

It is precisely because of this that after Fang Zhenshan received seven official documents from Zhao Junchen, he was indecided.

"If it were that simple, I wouldn't be in such a dilemma! You don't even understand the cleverness of our Chincha-sama's methods! ”

Sighing and shaking his head, seeing that most of the people were puzzled, Fang Zhenshan patiently explained slowly: "I also said just now, among these seven official documents, except for the first and last two official documents, the remaining five official documents seem to be dazzling, but in fact, they want to encourage the morale of the border army and force us to actively respond to the war and fight with the Mongols!" Not only does he want to boost the morale of our upper-level military attachés, but also the morale of the low-level border soldiers! ”

Speaking of this, Fang Zhenshan frowned slightly: "The team sent by the Governor's Mansion to deliver official documents is not an ordinary low-level official, but a brocade guard under Zhao Junchen, and many elite forbidden troops are accompanying them, and their goal is not just to deliver official documents!" Our Guyuan Military Town welcomed a total of five Jinyi guards and twenty elite forbidden soldiers this time, and after they handed over the official documents of the Governor's Mansion to me, they did not leave Guyuan Military Town immediately, but stayed behind, posting announcements everywhere in the military town, and constantly publicizing the content of the announcement! The content of the announcement is not much different from the official document in our hands, but it is directly facing the border army at the bottom...... Moreover, judging by their appearance, I am afraid that they will stay for a long time, not only to continue to agitate the emotions of the border troops at the bottom, but also to monitor our every move and report the situation to the Governor's Palace at any time! ”

While speaking, Fang Zhenshan sighed again and continued: "Right now, I'm afraid that many low-level border troops have seen the announcement of the Governor's Palace, and have been encouraged by the Jinyi Guards and the forbidden army. Obviously, Zhao Junchen wants to bypass us and directly win the support of the low-level border soldiers, which is a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle! Therefore, if we want to disobey the orders of the Governor's Palace, we may be counterattacked by the border army at the bottom, which is something we must consider!

The situation faced by our Guyuan military town is more complicated, I supported three hundred private soldiers to Zhang Shengde, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, a few days ago, and escorted him to meet Zhao Junchen, so these three hundred private soldiers also suffered a surprise attack by the Mongols, and now they have all reaped rich military exploits, when the Governor's Palace was rewarded, their names were all listed, and all of them were amazingly rewarded. …… After the Governor's Palace sent the heads and prisoners of the Mongols to Guyuan for display, the emotions of the border soldiers would be even more difficult to control! At that time, there is the pressure of the governor's palace to supervise the war, and there are the soldiers of the border army actively asking for war, where can we still sit still? ”

Hearing Fang Zhenshan's explanation, everyone in the lobby also frowned.

Ma Hancheng, the deputy commander-in-chief, looked rebellious and said in a vicious voice: "How can the Mongols be easy to deal with? Over the years, when have we taken advantage? Not to mention that this year's situation is particularly grim! Lord Commander-in-Chief, we must not let Zhao Junchen do whatever he wants! His approach is obviously to meddle in the internal affairs of our military town! According to the humble opinion, regardless of whether he is a Jinyi guard or a forbidden army, we must not let them stay here and unscrupulously stir the hearts of the army, and while they have not caused too much impact, we can directly find a reason to send troops to 'gift' them out of the country! It's neat and clean! ”

Fang Zhenshan glanced at Ma Hancheng, shook his head and said, "If this is feasible, I would have sent troops to act a long time ago!" But this is a different time! The person who is now presiding over the overall situation of Shaanxi and Gansu is not Wang Zheng, nor is it Liang Fuchen! It's Qin Cha Zhao Junchen! This person is Qincha, representing the righteousness of the imperial court, if I forcibly drive away his people, it is disobeying the imperial court, and I will inevitably encounter trouble in the future! In addition, Zhao Junchen is different from the previous trilateral governors, the previous trilateral governors want to gain a firm foothold in Shaanxi and Gansu, and they can't do without our support, so they don't dare to offend the military town at will, but Zhao Junchen will not stay in Shaanxi and Gansu for a long time, so he can retaliate unscrupulously! …… The most important thing is that Zhao Junchen has military power in his hands! ”

Then, Fang Zhenshan's expression became more and more serious, and he said in a condensed voice: "Now, Zhao Junchen has taken control of the Huamachi Camp and killed Shi Song, the chief soldier of the Huamachi Battalion, which means that Zhao Junchen has taken over the army of the Huamachi Battalion, including more than 5,000 private soldiers carefully cultivated by Shi Song and others!" According to the official document of the Governor's Palace, more than 20 military attaches from the two military towns in Yulin and Ningxia have donated 5,000 private soldiers to Zhao Junchen...... In addition, the 50,000 elite forbidden army reinforcements sent by the imperial court were obviously led by Zhao Junchen...... Compared to the Governor's Palace, we are already at a disadvantage in terms of strength! If our attitude is too tough and we tear our faces, I'm afraid we won't be able to take advantage of it...... I have to admire Zhao Junchen's methods, all the military attaches in our Guyuan Military Town have spent many years of hard work, and they have only maintained the scale of more than 10,000 private soldiers in total, but Zhao Junchen has only been a few days after entering Shaanxi and Gansu, and his strength has already surpassed us! ”

As Fang Zhenshan's words fell, everyone present fell silent.

Among the border troops of Shaanxi and Gansu, they have always attached importance to strength and respected the strong, and Zhao Junchen's current strength is stronger than theirs, and if they want to disobey, they naturally lack confidence in their hearts.

Ma Hancheng's mood gradually became irritable, and said: "The Governor's Mansion wants to force us to fight with the Mongols, but this will definitely not work!" It doesn't do us any good, but it's a waste of troops! The messenger of the Governor's Mansion bewitches the hearts of the army, and he must find a way to stop it, and if he can't do it, he will come to the yin! They can't be left to do whatever they want! ”

Fang Zhenshan's expression was still hesitant, and after being silent for a long time again, he said slowly: "It's best to take a long-term view of this matter, the current situation is sensitive, Zhao Junchen's vision and means are all clever, and he occupies the righteous reputation and strength advantage of the Governor's Mansion and the Qincha, it is best not to offend easily!" ”

Seeing Fang Zhenshan's statement and Fang Zhenshan's hesitation, Zhang Wenqi, the governor of Guyuan, sighed a little in his heart.

Prudence and prudence have always been Fang Zhenshan's greatest advantage, and the stable development of Guyuan Military Town over the years is largely because of Fang Zhenshan's advantage, but prudence and prudence are often synonymous.

Although Zhang Wenqi is a civilian official, the Guyuan Military Town is under the rule of Guyuan Prefecture, the jurisdiction of the two sides overlaps, and the interests are entangled, and they have long been the same body.

Seeing that Fang Zhenshan had no idea for a long time, this will not work, it will only make people frustrated, Zhang Wenqi pondered for a while, and suddenly changed the topic, and said: "Lord Commander, according to the idea of this official, the Governor's Mansion wants to force us to take the initiative to fight the Mongols, not only to encourage the morale of the army, but also to send people to monitor, this matter seems to make us in a dilemma, but it is not a top priority!" As you said before, Your Majesty does not want Zhao Junchen to interfere in the military power, and after learning that Zhao Junchen has taken over the defense of Shaanxi and Gansu, he will inevitably soon send a new Qincha to replace Zhao Junchen to preside over the border defense plan! So we just need to delay as much as possible, if we are really forced too hard, we will fight with the Mongols a few times with a small thunderstorm, and there will not be much loss, as long as it is delayed until the new Qincha takes over Zhao Junchen, everything will be solved! ”

Hearing Zhang Wenqi's words, Fang Zhenshan nodded lightly and said slowly: "That's the only way...... But I always feel that even if the imperial court sends a new Qincha to replace Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen may not be able to hand over power easily! But in any case, as long as it drags on until that time, our pressure will always be reduced a lot...... There will always be some reckless people who rush to be the first bird and directly disobey Zhao Junchen's order, and then we can observe Zhao Junchen's reaction, let's wait and see what happens! ”

Zhang Wenqi said: "Lord Commander, the top priority now is actually the last official document!" Zhao Junchen wants to transfer the elite private soldiers of Guyuan Military Town to form a new army of soldiers, and we still need to show our attitude as soon as possible in this matter! ”

As soon as Zhang Wenqi's words fell, Ma Hancheng, the deputy chief soldier, seemed to have been stepped on a sore foot, and immediately jumped up and said: "This matter is even worse!" Our private soldiers have spent countless painstaking efforts and money, and finally have the current strength, why should they dedicate it to Zhao Junchen? Although Zhao Junchen said that he would compensate us for the armor and horses and the money for recruiting soldiers, who knows if he will speak and count? Besides, armor and war horses and recruiting silver may be tempting to the thousands of households below, but they are not rare in our eyes! ”

This time, Fang Zhenshan did not hesitate too much, directly supported Ma Hancheng's opinion, and said: "We really can't hand over the private soldiers to Zhao Junchen, I'm not worried that Zhao Junchen will break his promise, I really don't want to see Zhao Junchen's hands further strengthened!" Now Zhao Junchen's strength is not to be underestimated, if we hand over the private soldiers in our hands to him, the border generals around the country will inevitably follow the trend, in this way, Zhao Junchen has 20,000 private soldiers under his command, and the support of 50,000 elite forbidden troops, we can completely subdue the four major military towns, and we have completely lost the power to resist, at that time, even if we get more armor and war horses and recruitment silver, what can we do? Isn't it under Zhao Junchen's drive and control? What if Zhao Junchen forces us to die at that time? ”

Seeing Fang Zhenshan's firm attitude this time, Zhang Wenqi couldn't help but be stunned.

But soon, Zhang Wenqi put forward his own opinion and asked: "The concerns of the chief soldier are indeed reasonable!" But we can't directly disobey Zhao Junchen's order now, how should we respond to this official document? ”

Fang Zhenshan obviously had an opinion this time, and said: "Naturally, it is the same as the previous official documents, and it is also a statement of support!" Although Zhao Junchen asked us for private soldiers, there was no clear mention of this in the official document after all! Therefore, we can transfer some ordinary border troops to the Governor's Palace, and even if we follow Zhao Junchen's orders, we will insist that these ordinary border troops are the elite of Guyuan Military Town, and Zhao Junchen can't do anything about us in a short time! ”

After a pause, Fang Zhenshan hesitated for a moment before adding: "However, this matter can't be too perfunctory, otherwise it's like we're deliberately humiliating Zhao Junchen, and we want to prevent Zhao Junchen from becoming angry...... The statement of Deputy Chief Soldier Ma just now is very reasonable, the armor and war horses and recruitment silver that Zhao Junchen compensated for are not particularly important to us high-level military attachés in the military town, but it is still very cost-effective for the thousands of households below, so if the thousands of households in the military town plan to give private soldiers to Zhao Junchen, we don't have to stop it, the private soldiers under the command of thousands of households are just dozens of people, and they can't make up too many troops, even if they are handed over to Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen can't increase his strength much, It is just right to use this part of the private army to decorate the façade and save both sides from tearing face, but it is best for the high-level military attachés in the military town not to participate, and the strength of the Guyuan military town must be guaranteed, otherwise Zhao Junchen will be left to the hands of Zhao Junchen in the future! ”

Fang Zhenshan's decision can be regarded as thoughtful, and everyone in the lobby is happy and convinced, and they all got up to express their approval!

However, just after Fang Zhenshan finally made a decision on the seven official documents sent by the Governor's Palace, a soldier from the General Military Mansion suddenly entered the lobby and handed Fang Zhenshan a letter, saying: "Lord General Soldier, this is a secret letter sent by Lord Zhang, the Governor of Shaanxi. ”

Fang Zhenshan was slightly stunned, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reached out to take the secret letter and opened it for inspection.

Fang Zhenshan was an officer who abandoned literature and joined the military, Zhang Shengde was a civil servant who was familiar with military strategy, and Guyuan Military Town was under the jurisdiction of the governor of Shaanxi, and the two sides had many common languages, and the relationship was very close on weekdays.

Therefore, after Fang Zhenshan saw the secret letter sent by Zhang Shengde, he attached great importance to it in his heart, and now Zhang Shengde is in Huamachi Camp, Fang Zhenshan also hopes to further understand Zhao Junchen's personality through Zhang Shengde's secret letter.

However, when reading the secret letter carefully, Fang Zhenshan's face began to change, sometimes a little shocked, sometimes a little gloomy, it seemed that the news in the secret letter was very shocking.

After Fang Zhenshan finished reading the secret letter, he took a long breath, and his expression hesitated again.

After Ma Hancheng saw Fang Zhenshan's appearance, he couldn't help but ask: "Lord General Soldier, what did Governor Zhang's secret letter say?" ”

Fang Zhenshan looked around at everyone present, and did not answer Ma Hancheng's question, but after being silent for a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "The decision just now is invalid!" Below the Guyuan Military Town, everyone drew more than forty percent of the private soldiers and gathered them to hand them over to the commander of the Governor's Palace! ”
