Chapter 529: Abandoned Village

Wan Jing is a short, thin middle-aged man in his forties, who has been an official in Beijing for more than ten years, according to his position in the top of the second class in the exam, if the backer behind him is strong enough, Wan Jing should not only be a Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, he may already be a waiter, or he may be directly released to a provincial government or according to the inspection.

Seeing Zhang Han come in, Wan Jing got up from the chair and put down the tea bowl casually, Zhang Han looked at this person slightly, and found that his eyes were radiating a strange light, Zhang Han frowned slightly, it is not a good thing for this kind of bureaucrat to suddenly have this kind of look in the eyes of this kind of bureaucratic who follows the rules...... Once this kind of thing is thought of crookedly, it can be a headache.

Zhang Han first bent down and arched his hand: "Xiaguan has seen Master Wan. ”

According to the etiquette rules of the Ming Taizu, Zhang Han and Wanjing should spread the mat under the hall and then worship each other, but this kind of red tape is too lazy to abide by even the most old-fashioned civil officials, according to etiquette, Zhang Han is a third-grade official, Wanjing is a fourth-grade official, but Wanjing is not only a civil official or a Beijing official, once it is released, it is also a third-grade official, from this point of view, Zhang Han should kneel and bow, Wanjing standing and bowing is even modest, even if he does not return the courtesy, others can't find fault.

Zhang Han's courtesy is considered inconsiderate, but Wanjing obviously has something on his mind, so he doesn't care much about it, and he returns the salute by taking a hand.

"These people are all the henchmen of the lower officials," Zhang Han said with a smile: "We were talking just now, and we heard that Master Wan was coming, so we came to meet together." ”

Wan nodded and said in an official dialect with a southern accent: "The state guest is a fellow student and is very familiar with ......."

Li Guobin stepped forward and knelt down and bowed: "I've seen the boss when I go down." ”

Wan Jing smiled slightly, hugged Li Guobin up, Xia Xiping and Wang Faxiang of course also had to greet him, Wan Jing waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the student has something important to say to Master Zhang......

Zhang Han said: "At this time, it is almost time to get up, of course the boss has something important to come to, and the lower officials will listen to it." ”

Wan Jing was not in a hurry to speak, sitting in the chair, twisting his beard with his hands, and looked quite hesitant.

Zhang Han didn't rush either, he felt that what this person said was probably a big trouble.

Wan Jing groaned for a long time, and no one in the room urged him, only a slight crackling sound made when the lamp oil was fried, and after half a sound, Wan Jing finally made up his mind and said to Zhang Han: "Lord Zhang, you were impeached by Lord Wang, this matter should be a misunderstanding, and the students also heard that you are the descendant of Feng Pangong, of course you will not have the intention to rebel." ”

Zhang Han smiled: "Of course not...... But what does the boss mean by mentioning it at this time? ”

Wan Jing looked at Zhang Han and said sincerely: "Lord Wang is not afraid of the eunuch and resolutely impeached Wei Gelding for all kinds of illegal affairs. Now I heard that Wei Gelding ordered Xu Dahua's dog thief to escort Lord Wang to Jingshi and to be sentenced to prison for heavy punishment, which is really outrageous. The righteous men and gentlemen of the country have encountered injustice, but the eunuchs can stand high above the court and command the doctors to catch the doctors, isn't this the same as the disaster of the party in the Eastern Han Dynasty? ”

As soon as Wanjing spoke, he spoke very fluently, which shows that he has been holding these words in his heart for a long time.

Zhang Han kept a straight face and didn't say a word.

Wan Jing then said: "The student also knows that Master Zhang has been wronged, but compared to the big situation, a little grievance is nothing. If Lord Zhang was an ordinary martial artist, the students would not come here, after all, the adult is the descendant of Feng Pangong, a scholarly family, and he has his own blood and loyalty in his heart......"

Zhang Han smiled bitterly: "What does the boss want to do?" ”

"If the lord strikes back at this time, he will hurt the emperor about the harm of Wei Eunuch......"

Zhang Han got up suddenly and said, "Boss, please don't say any more, come here, send off guests." ”

Wan Jingzheng said that Xing was up, but he didn't react at once, and sat in the chair with his eyes blinking.

In Wanjing's calculations, after all, Zhang Han is considered a scholarly and famous family, and he may be a military attache because he can't learn and can't succeed, and it should be the same reason for clinging to Wei Zhongxian, at this time Wei Zhongxian arrested Wang Xinyi, if Zhang Han counterattacked, Wei Zhongxian's power may disintegrate and disintegrate, and the holy monarch will punish him angrily, at least he will be sent to Nanjing Xiaolingwei to grow vegetables, but Zhang Han didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and directly served tea and sent guests.

After half a ring, Wan Jing reacted and said with a cold face: "I thought that Master Zhang was Zhongliang, but I didn't expect it to be wrong." ”

Zhang Han said solemnly: "The boss is wrong, please come back quickly." ”

Wan Jingqi sneered again and again, and said: "Since Lord Zhang is determined to go with the eunuchs, I am afraid that I will ...... in the future."

Zhang Han didn't allow him to finish his words, and said again: "My lord, please, please, please!" ”

The repeated words of invitation blocked Wanjing speechless, so he had to sneer and leave with his sleeves brushed up.

After Wanjing left, Li Guobin said with a depressed face: "This person was originally just a little pedantic, but this time he turned out to be crazy." ”

"It may be that the Donglin Party has made some moves to let him know." Zhang Han said: "Lang Zhong like him, who has no backup, can't take a risk at this time, when will he wait?" Of course, it may also be that my mind is too dirty, and people may really just be loyal and patriotic. ”

"My lord," Li Guobin said with a smile: "In the past 100 years, except for one Hai Rui, who dares to say that he is as clear as water?" This party and that faction, since they all reap benefits, why do they dress up as gentlemen, and everyone is a villain? Saying that I am truly loyal to the monarch and patriotic, I don't believe it anyway. ”

Zhang Han said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter if he is sincere or false, Xiping, take the letterhead, write a letter to Gao Qiqian for me, and relay tonight's events to him word for word." ”

Xia Xiping was shocked, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, we don't allow him to invite it, forget it, and ...... like this."

Zhang Han smiled, looked at Li Guobin and Wang Faxiang, pointed at Wang Faxiang, and said, "You explain to Xiping why you must write this letter." ”

"Yes, sir." Wang Faxiang responded, and then said to Xia Xiping: "Your Excellency has two considerations for writing this letter...... First, we must consider whether this Wanjing was sent by Wei Zhongxian to tempt, although the adults have already rejected him, but if Wei Zhongxian is not reported, it means that the adults may be hesitant, and the first rat is at both ends, which will make Wei Zhongxian change his support for the adults, and even cause the eunuchs to be hostile to us. Second, even if Wanjing was sincere, he might write the book himself after we rejected it, and once he was arrested and interrogated, confessing that he had contacted us, it would be even more troublesome and more suspicious. And once the Donglin Party knows about this, it will hate us to the core, people's hearts are like this, we want to stay out of the matter, but now we are very deep, in order to avoid disfavor on both sides, we can only choose one side, and now in this situation, we can only choose Wei Biao's side. Since you have chosen a side, of course you have to do things in place......"

Xia Xiping was a little shocked just now, but at this time he calmed down, and after looking at Wang Faxiang deeply, he said, "I know, thank you for your doubts." ”

Zhang Han said: "Xiping is a great talent, he can give a example, Wang Faxiang is more experienced, you have to understand it well." ”

Xia Xi responded calmly and began to sit down and write a letter.

……

The weather is very hot, almost June, even if it is the night of Liaozhen, there is no coolness before, especially the starry sky and the moon have disappeared, obviously when there is a thunderstorm, the air around seems to be stagnant, there is no trace of wind, people's clothes are tightly attached to the body, and sweat and skin are sticky, the heat on the body has no place to diffuse, can only become sweat droplets drop down, soon soaked the clothes, and then drip down the clothes, soon, there is a puddle of water under the body of each lurking person, It's the sweat that runs down people's bodies.

Fortunately, Cheng Fang and the others brought enough water, they didn't dare to make a sound, and no one coughed, the only action was to gently raise the water bladder from time to time to drink water, and the action of drinking water was not big, just gently put it on the lips, and let the clear fresh water continue to flow into the abdomen.

After two failed efforts, when Ning Yuan's more than 2,000 steps rode to the side of the Thirteen Mountains, and a large number of Jianyu cavalry went to defend, Cheng Fang, Yang Yi and others decided to make a surprise this time no matter what.

The last time the people of the Thirteen Mountains arrived in Ningyuan was nearly three months ago, if there is no more news, of course, the scope of the imperial court's rescue will not be strengthened, and the 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Thirteen Mountains will be too few who can survive in the end.

"It's time, rush!"

The rain finally fell, and people couldn't open their eyes when they were hit by the heavy rain, and at this time, Yang Yi, Cheng Fang and other leaders all stood up and waved their arms and shouted.

When lightning fell, people pulled their horses out of the sparse forest and rode up.

In front of is an abandoned village, yesterday evening Cheng Fang and others found that there is a Meler Ezhen with a few Bashiku and dozens of cavalry, more than 100 banners stationed there, the cavalry of Jianyu is spread out very wide, the distance of the sentinel is also very large, the Ming army from Ningyuan out of the city, although Jianyu is not afraid, the men and horses have been transferred to meet the enemy, the manpower here is insufficient, but the level of the guard has also been significantly increased a lot.

The right hand side of the abandoned village is the official road leading to Ningyuan, which is twenty or thirty miles away from Ningyuan, and the Ming army that came out of Ningyuan should be more than thirty miles away from the south, and the main force left by Jianyu on the side of the Thirteen Mountains has also been transferred to that side, whether the two sides are fighting or the Ming army has been defeated, I don't know for the time being, what Cheng Fang and others know is that the Ming army also sent a fine sentry to the Thirteen Mountains, trying to get in touch with the Thirteen Mountains...... Of course, Ning Yuan's plan was to make such a tentative attack, and then the people of the Thirteen Mountains would take the opportunity to break through...... Of course, this is an extremely irresponsible approach, and such a rescue must have failed in history, and less than 10,000 of the 100,000 soldiers and civilians finally stood out, and most of them were either captured or killed.

Of course, Cheng Fang didn't know the direction of history, but Zhang Han had already pointed out this possibility in his instructions to this side, and this time the raid was that the people on the mountain made up their minds to establish a real communication channel with Ning Yuan.

Rushing through this village, there are several forks in front, all of which are official roads built when the Ming Dynasty was in its prime, as long as you run a short distance forward is the range of activities of Ningyuan's sharp whistle, the Eight Banners will not pursue too far, and this is also the last line of defense-

It's a chapter today.,Just checked a few screen avoidance words.,It's annoying to me.。
