Chapter 122: Return to the Hou family

Wang Shiru said: "Needless to say, Lord Liang will call the command." ”

Wang Shiyu had already been promoted to the head of the Ministry of Engineering, and he was supposed to leave Guide this month to take up a post in the capital. After hearing the news that Li Zicheng's army was coming, many people advised him to leave quickly, but he said angrily: "As an official of the imperial court, how can you see danger and avoid it. Instead, he stayed.

Liang Yizhang bowed to Wang Shiyu and said, "Thank you Lord Wang for your support." ”

The three bigwigs discussed and decided, with Liang Yizhang as the leader of the alliance. Liang Yizhang began to call the shots.

"All the grain, gunpowder, copper and iron in the city shall be requisitioned in one piece."

"In all the cities, men, women, and children are divided into troops and lined up to distinguish between the young and the strong, the old and the weak, and the young and strong detachments go to the city, and the old and weak carry supplies."

"All the officials of the city guard the gates." Liang Yizhang's gaze swept over all the officials in the hall and said, "Please Lord Yan guard the west gate." Ministry of Labor Lang Zhong Shen Lord deputy. Just where the thief came. ”

Yan Zekong said: "Yes." ”

Where did the Ministry of Labor Langzhong come from, in fact, the officials who were dismissed at home, should be called the former Ministry of Labor Langzhong, or the former Ministry of Labor Langzhong, just as the current officials cannot be called deputy or deputy, these dismissed officials cannot be called the former or the old one, and the following Ministry of Labor Shangshu and so on are the same.

Behind every official who was dismissed from his post at home was a big family, and some of the families were richer than the government, so they had to rely on these officials and squires in raising materials. These people were also the basis of the Ming Dynasty's rule over the localities.

"Lord Zhou of the Ministry of Industry guards the southwest gate, and commands Lord Xiong to deputy."

"Yes."

"Shanxi's deputy envoy Song Daren guarded the south gate, and commanded the envoy Zhang Daren to deputy.

"Yes."

"The official Wang guards the east gate, and Xu Zuolin is the deputy."

"Yes."

"Command Lord Cai to guard the southeast gate, and command Lord Mei to deputy."

"Yes."

"The official Tian Guolai is the commander of Lord Jia's deputy."

"Yes."

"The garrison is a commander of the border and his own soldiers, follow the officer, and come and go to see the help."

"Yes."

Liang Yizhang continued: "There are two people, one is a deputy and ten stewards, all of them have flood land, and they are subordinate to your lords, and your lords are directly subordinate to your officials, up and down, and if you have a loss, your officials will be held accountable to you, and you will be fined for the lightest, and you will be beheaded immediately, and I hope you will do it well." ”

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, as if respecting Liang Yizhang's authority.

After Liang Yizhang was distributed, he still had two heart problems.

The first piece of heart is the foreign soldiers, with more than 1,000 soldiers led by Deputy General Zhang Xingzhang and 700 cavalry

, after returning to Germany, he has an old relationship with Yan Zekong, and Yan Zekong pulls people into Guide City to help guard. There is also Chen Yongfu's subordinate Chen Hao, who came from Kaifeng, with hundreds of foot soldiers, and also entered the city.

Since ancient times, it has been a troublesome matter for foreign soldiers to enter the city, not to mention, I heard that Li Zicheng was trapped in Chenzhou, and the soldiers came to Guide. The people of Guide flocked into the city, and now the city of Guide is overcrowded. Squeeze in these soldiers. I'm afraid there will be chaos.

Fortunately, this matter was strongly advocated by Yan Zekong.

Yan Zekong is old and strong, although he can't afford to defend the city, but Liang Yizhang is still relieved to deal with these things.

The second heart disease made Liang Yizhang uncomfortable, and asked the people around him: "Hasn't the Hou family moved yet?" ”

"Nope."

Liang Yizhang slammed his fist on the table and said, "Hou Fangyu." ”

Which is the largest family in Guide? Needless to say, it's the Hou family.

The Hou family was originally a military member, and in the early Ming Dynasty, Hou Yu began to make a fortune in his hands, and it seems that he was engaged in the wine industry. After Hou Yu became rich, he devoted himself to the education of his children. His nephew, Hou Zhipu, died young. He tried his best to support Hou Zhipu to study. Later, Hou Zhipu really won the imperial examination and became one of the bigwigs of the Donglin Party. And Hou Zhipu is Hou Sui's father. Even though Hou Sui is still in prison and Hou Zhipu has just passed away, the strength of the Hou family is weak, but it is still a wealthy family in the local area.

This doesn't work at all, what kind of place is Henan, it's the Central Plains, and it extends in all directions. Where do you say that if you are trapped, you can be trapped.

The reason why Hou Xun said this is that he didn't want to go to Henan to take office.

No matter what Hou Xun has in mind, now the Central Plains army is nominally under Hou Xun's control, and the Hou family of Guide will naturally rise to the top, and with the close relationship between the Hou family and Zuo Liangyu, there are also many capable people among the Hou family. Liang Yizhang repeatedly wanted to include the Hou family in the army, but the Hou family refused.

Even when Li Zicheng was about to come to the city, the Hou family still had no intention of participating in the defense of the city. How could this not make Liang Yizhang very angry in his heart.

However, he also knew that no matter how angry he was, he couldn't move the Hou family in the slightest.

"Please also, the eldest brother keeps an eye on the Hou family for me, and if the Hou family makes any reckless moves, he will report to me immediately." Liang Yizhang said.

"I understand." This person is Liang Yizhang's brother-in-law, and Liang Yizhang's wife Zhang is a native of Guide. Liang Yizhang has done all kinds of things in Guide, and Lai Yue's family has a lot of strength. Liang Yizhang's brother-in-law Zhang Lin said: "Don't worry, our Zhang family will pay attention to the movements of the Hou family, but the Hou family's power in Guide is not comparable to my Zhang family, if the Hou family wants to hide anything from me, it is not difficult, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

"Yes. I'm just in case. Liang Yizhang calmed down and said: "No matter how much his Hou family says it is an official family, will he still fail to join the enemy?" ”

It is in the city of Guide, not far from the government

In the place, there is a big mansion, heavy buildings are stacked on top of each other, I don't know how many heavy courtyards, maids and servants come and go like clouds, in the meantime, people forget the Jin Ge Iron Horse outside the city for a while. It seems to be still in the peaceful years.

"Childe," Hou Yan bowed in and said, "Lord Liang has already issued an order that the whole city must obey his moderation and let my Hou Mansion send people and food." ”

Hou Yan should be Hou Fangyu's subordinate brother in terms of seniority, but the distinction between the descendants of the big family will only be more strict, so Hou Fangyu treats Hou Yan as just a family general, and Hou Yan doesn't care.

Hou Fangyu folded the fan in his hand and said: "This grain can be given to him, half of the food in the family will be distributed to Lord Liang, and some of the young and strong servants in the family will be given to Lord Liang, which will be said to support the defense of the city." ”

Hou Yan said: "Childe, I think Lord Liang has taken a fancy to the guards at home. ”

Hou Fangyu sneered and said: "Regardless of whether this Guide Mansion is broken or not, the guards at home cannot use a horse, from today onwards, all the family members will be divided into two families, and all the horses will eat concentrate." ”

Hou Yan has followed Hou Sui to fight, he knows how much time it takes, the horses eat grass, without him, there is a lack of food, if you feed the horses and beans at once, what do people eat?

However, once the big war is imminent, it will arrange to feed the horses with concentrate. Because in a big war, the slightest negligence will cause the difference between life and death, and no one should be careless and not treat horses well. As soon as Hou Yan heard it, he knew that Hou Fangyu was preparing for the big battle.

But Hou Fangyu has decided to hold down the family and not let them go to the city, there is no need for the family at all, plus most of the Hou family's family members are cavalry, although there are not many people, but they are also elite and extraordinary, and they don't need cavalry to fight to defend the city, Hou Yan naturally thought: "Childe, do you think that Lord Liang can't hold the city of Guide?" ”

"Be prepared, the lives of dozens of members of my Hou family's family are tied to whether they can defend the city, and there are still fewer officials who can't defend the city these years?" Hou Fangyu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go quickly." ”

"Yes." Hou Yan said. He then turned away and went down to make arrangements.

Hou Fangyu sent Hou Yan away, and the garden on the opposite side was full of splendor, and he breathed a sigh of relief. How does he not love to return to Germany, he returned to the Hou family from the generation of Gaozu to the Dewang family, and after the accumulation of generations, it can be said that the Hou family can be half the master of Guide. He Hou Fangyu participated in the association when he was ten years old, and he was in this East Garden Snow Garden, known as the Snow Garden Society, which was one of the important branches of the Restoration Society in Jiangbei.

After that, the fame soared, who did it rely on?

Hou Fangyu certainly has geniuses, but if he leaves the Hou family and the prestige of his father's ancestors, how can he Hou Fangyu do this?

He Hou Fangyu also knows this, if the Hou family has to move away from Germany and return to Germany, the influence of the Hou family will be lost, and it will never be the same again.

"Let's hope the city can be defended." Hou Fangyu thought silently.
