Adjusting the operational deployment, Qu Qingze is aware of this matter, but the 10,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed on Taiwan Island have returned to Dengzhou, but Qu Qingze did not expect it, so he knows that Su Tiancheng and the imperial court may have a showdown, and the showdown in secret, Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou must ensure absolute security.

Suddenly, Qu Qingze felt the pressure, a huge pressure.

After attacking and thinking carefully, Qu Qingze changed his strategy, the army led by Zhang Fengyi was about to arrive in Dengzhou, and the previous consideration was to slowly adopt the method of infiltration, and the action was too slow, if something happened, causing the armies to fight each other, it was unbearable.

The 10,000 troops who returned to Dengzhou were all arranged in Dengzhou, and the army led by Zhang Fengyi had already been stationed in a place that had been arranged. With the addition of 10,000 soldiers, Qu Qingze is much more relieved, in terms of combat effectiveness, the 30,000 army led by Zhang Fengyi is not the opponent of the Jiangning battalion soldiers at all.

At the beginning of September, the army led by Zhang Fengyi entered Dengzhou.

Qu Qingze went to greet him on behalf of the Governor's Mansion.

Zhang Fengyi is still holding the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, but Qu Qingze is also the right deputy imperial envoy, in terms of rank, the two are about the same, but in the eyes of officials, Zhang Fengyi's identity is obviously more noble, plus Zhang Fengyi is from the imperial examination, a standard scholar, Qu Qingze is just from Jinyiwei, which also leads to the gap between the two.

It is said that Qu Qingze needs to salute when he sees Zhang Fengyi, but unfortunately Qu Qingze represents the Governor's Mansion, and Su Tiancheng, the Jiliao Governor, is a cabinet minister, and from this aspect, Zhang Fengyi belongs to his subordinates again.

Both of them saluted with their fists clasped and did not make any other movements. It's nice to avoid embarrassment.

Zhang Fengyi has something in his heart, he has always kept the emperor's secret decree in his heart, and he never dares to forget it, and he also made a decision, after coming to Dengzhou, he must find ways to perform his functions. Received praise from the emperor and the imperial court, in case the situation is not optimistic, it is not too late to change it.

After seeing Qu Qingze, Zhang Fengyi sighed in his heart, obviously responsible for staying in Dengzhou, it was Sun Yuankun, the imperial envoy of Zuo Qidu and the commander of the Jiangning battalion, who changed it to Qu Qingze, everyone knew that Qu Qingze was Su Tiancheng's absolute confidant. Everything he did was from Su Tiancheng's point of view.

Qu Qingze and Zhang Fengyi both had smiles on their faces.

After the 30,000 soldiers came to Dengzhou, they felt completely different, the prosperity of Dengzhou was beyond their expectations, Pyongyang could not be compared, and returned to Daming. They have a special feeling, and that is cordiality.

But this feeling. Soon it was gone.

Qu Qingze unceremoniously told Zhang Fengyi that the place where the army was stationed had been arranged, because of the special situation, the Ming Dynasty was fighting with the Houjin Tartars, Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, as a logistics supply base. To ensure absolute security, so the jurisdiction is very strict, the army is stationed in Dengzhou, can not move around at will, must stay in the barracks. If you break the rules, you may be attacked and cause some unpleasant situations.

Zhang Fengyi's face was not good-looking in an instant, this was something he didn't expect, 30,000 troops were stationed in the barracks, what is the difference between this and house arrest, he has long thought about it, to complete the task assigned by the emperor, we must rely on 30,000 soldiers, the best way is to let 30,000 soldiers be stationed separately and stationed in key places, such as Weihaiwei Wharf, shipyards, arsenals and Penglai City, etc., only by controlling these places, it is possible to further win over officials and businessmen and so on.

However, just arrived in Dengzhou, it is definitely not okay to quarrel in broad daylight.

Zhang Fengyi didn't speak, followed Qu Qingze expressionlessly, and headed towards the barracks.

Before entering the barracks, Zhang Fengyi's face began to turn pale, and he saw the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion welcoming the army, and the momentum exuded by the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion was terrifying. In Zhang Fengyi's memory, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou were only 10,000, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who could meet the army were far more than 10,000, and almost all of them were cavalry.

This is Qu Qingze's arrangement, he knows very well that by virtue of his words, Zhang Fengyi will definitely not do it, only by showing his strength can he first deter Zhang Fengyi, so he arranged 15,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers to welcome the army led by Zhang Fengyi, I believe that Zhang Fengyi will understand many things when he sees the army.

The area of the barracks is not small, and it used to be the barracks where the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion were stationed, which was more than enough to accommodate more than 30,000 people.

Zhang Fengyi expressed satisfaction with the barracks, and the conditions were much better than those in Pyongyang.

After the banquet, Zhang Fengyi and Qu Qingze entered the house, and the sergeant was guarding outside, and no one was allowed to enter.

At this time, Zhang Fengyi spoke.

"Lord Qu, this official was ordered to be stationed in Dengzhou, originally to assist the Jiangning battalion to maintain the safety of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, etc., this official is very clear, I am fighting with the Houjin Tartars, Dengzhou and other places, is a place for grain and grass supply, must absolutely guarantee safety, the emperor also took this into account, ordered the minister to help, this official considered, the army must be stationed in Weihaiwei Wharf, Penglai City, shipyards, arsenals and other places to prevent people from making trouble, I don't know why Lord Daoqu did not allow the sergeant to leave the barracks, Could it be that Lord Chengqu is ready to resist the decree? ”

Qu Qingze's face was expressionless.

"So is Lord Zhang preparing to take over Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou?"

"Don't say that, Lord Qu, as the official said just now, he came to Dengzhou to assist the Jiangning battalion in maintaining order, not to take over Dengzhou."

"Since it is to assist the Jiang Ning battalion, is it understandable that Lord Zhang must accept the restraint of the commander."

Zhang Fengyi's face was slightly red, and he felt that it was not easy to explain, although the ultimate purpose of the army coming to Dengzhou was to take over Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, but such a purpose must not be said, otherwise it would not be able to be stationed in Dengzhou, and if it could assist the Jiangning battalion to maintain order, it was necessary to accept Su Tiancheng's moderation, but unfortunately in the emperor's secret decree, this point was particularly emphasized, and the 30,000 army was controlled by Zhang Fengyi and was not subject to any dispatch.

"Lord Qu, this is the arrangement of the imperial court, as for whether to accept the moderation of the marshal, this official has not received the holy decree, if Lord Qu has doubts, you can report to the court and see how the court replies."

Zhang Fengyi replied like this, Qu Qingze completely understood, those who came are not good and those who are good do not come, it seems that he will never be polite, not only the 30,000 army, including Zhang Fengyi himself, should not think that he can move freely.

"What Lord Zhang means, the official understands, but unfortunately Lord Zhang may not know the situation in Dengzhou and other places, it is necessary for the official to inform that not only Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, including Fuzhou, Xuanzhou, Gaizhou, Liaodong and Datong, the situation is the same, since the start of the campaign of the Golden Tartars after the conquest, the marshal has ordered, all matters that belong to these places, including garrison matters, people's livelihood matters, and official affairs, will be fully responsible for the governor's office, and the rest shall not interfere."

Zhang Fengyi's face turned pale, he had faintly heard of this, but even if this article was established, the emperor had a holy decree, and it was always impossible for Su Tiancheng to openly confront it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fengyi took out the holy decree from his arms.

There are two copies of the emperor's holy decree, one is a secret decree and the other can be made public, and this secret decree that can be made public is to deal with special circumstances.

Qu Qingze looked at Zhang Fengyi coldly, he didn't plan to kneel, if he knelt down at this time, it would mean that he would accept the holy decree, Qu Qingze was not so stupid.

Zhang Fengyi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Qu Qingze to kneel, and there was a huge uneasiness in his heart.

"Lord Qu, this is the emperor's holy decree, the army led by this official has come to Dengzhou, what should be done, the holy decree is very clear, Lord Qu may wish to take a look."

"Lord Zhang, no need, this is the emperor's holy decree to Lord Zhang, the official still doesn't look at it, since Lord Zhang has the emperor's holy decree, it is also a special situation, the official can not resist the decree, but the official is temporarily responsible for all matters in Dengzhou, and can only obey the commander's order, if the commander gives the order, the official will naturally have to obey, and the official also asks Lord Zhang to understand, the general will not be subject to the king's order outside, and the official will not dare to violate the military law."

Zhang Fengyi's face was pale, Qu Qingze turned a blind eye and continued to speak.

"Lord Zhang, this official has a suggestion, I don't know if Lord Zhang is willing to listen to it."

Zhang Fengyi looked at Qu Qingze and snorted in his nose.

"The official suggests that Lord Zhang rush to Gaizhou with the holy decree to meet the marshal, and when the marshal sees the holy decree, he will definitely have an explanation, so the official will be easy to do."

Zhang Fengyi's lips trembled, and it took a long time to speak.

"Lord Qu, it seems that without the commander's order, the army will not be able to get out of the barracks, aren't you resisting the order, the official reads that you obeyed the commander's order, and I don't want to pursue it, the official has to tell you that the public resistance to the decree will affect the commander."

"Lord Zhang, the official is clear, but the official has no choice, the military discipline of the Jiangning battalion is very strict, don't say that the official, even the commander, will never disobey, the official doesn't have the guts, this head is still to be saved."

Qu Qingze's pun made Zhang Fengyi shudder, he knew very well the combat effectiveness of the Jiangning battalion, and the 30,000 army he led was definitely not the opponent of the Jiangning battalion.

"In this way, the official must ask to see the commander, otherwise the holy decree will not be effective."

"Lord Zhang, the official didn't say that, the marshal decides everything, which is also approved by the emperor, as for saying that Lord Zhang came to Dengzhou by order, the official can understand, but such a major matter, the official can't call the shots, and the official will never resist the order."

"Could it be that this officer is also in this barracks?"

"Of course that's the case, but if Master Zhang wants to go to Fucheng and take a rest, the official can still be accommodating." (To be continued......)
