Chapter 719 The storm is coming (10,000 words, please vote for me)
Lu Daqiu was so angry that his beard stood up!
Know a thing or two?
The Shanyue rebellion within the territory is raging across the prefectures and counties. Gushu City, the seat of the Xuanzhou administration next door, has been captured by the Shanyue rebels. I don’t know whether the Xuanzhou governor is alive or dead. Can you tell me what you know? Are you going to tell me that you know something about it when my mansion is eaten alive by the Shanyue people?
Lu Daqiu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This gang of Jiangnan relics had always called themselves nobles, but in fact they were wildly ambitious. They only knew the family but not the court. They only cared about profit but did not care about the people. They were selfish and treated the common people like dolphins and dogs, allowing them to be slaughtered, break the bones and suck out the marrow!
Suppressing his anger, Lu Daqiu said coldly: "The mountains are raging, and you are about to take charge of the military affairs. How can you just sit idly by? Quickly send all your troops to Niuzhuji to rescue Huatinghou. If Huatinghou is fine, you and others can Everyone can record their merits. If Huating Hou has a shortcoming and a shortcoming, which damages the face of the court, your majesty will only know the disaster today when he punishes the crime!"
Lu Daqiu's words were already a compromise, and he greatly lowered his requirements. He made it clear that I don't care what the people in Shanyue are like, as long as I keep Fang Jun alive! Don’t think that just by sitting back and doing nothing, you will not be punished. The court can’t do anything to you. If His Majesty is angry, none of you will be able to escape!
It's a pity that Lu Tong, as a son of a noble family, has acted arbitrarily under the wings of his family since he was a child. How could he be intimidated by Lu Daqiu's words?
Immediately sneered and said: "Please give Mingfu a warning. The mountain is raging, no less than tens of thousands, and now they have attacked the city and swept through Xuan and Runzhou. As the Sima of Runzhou, it is the duty of the subordinate to protect the land and the people. If he attacks rashly, The rescue of Huating Hou resulted in Shanyue taking advantage of the emptiness in the territory, causing harm to our country and our homeland. Who will be responsible for this? ”
Lu Daqiu was furious when he took the case: "I am the governor of Runzhou and the governor of Runzhou. I am in charge of the military and administration of Runzhou, so I naturally bear all responsibilities! I first order you to order all the troops and horses, and immediately set off to Niuzhuji for rescue. You must not Delay! ”
In the Tang Dynasty, every state in the Tang Dynasty had a governor's office, which was in the nature of a large military region. Those in charge of more than ten states were called large governor's offices. The chief governors are usually led by princes from a distance, and the chief historian is in charge of their affairs. For example, King Wu Li Ke was the "commander of the military of Anzhou and other thirteen states". Generally speaking, governors are concurrently appointed by the governor of the state where they are located.
Of course, power does not mean that you have a high official position or that you have the final say within your scope of authority. Lu Daqiu could not control the soldiers in Runzhou, and Li Ke could not control the military affairs of the thirteen states under his command...
Lu Tong was not afraid, and retorted: "Don't blame the lower officials for being rude. The Ming government said that they should take responsibility, but they don't know how to bear it? Then the people in Runzhou will be in ruins and will be robbed by Shanyue. How will you bear it? Can you bear it? ?”
Lu Daqiu's nose was almost filled with anger!
This is simply blatant disregard!
The Jiangnan nobles insulted me too much!
Lu Daqiu had never been in such a humiliating situation in his life. Anger arose in his heart and hatred grew in his heart. He took off the sword hanging on the wall with his hands and drew the sword with a "choking" sound. The sharp tip of the sword pointed straight at it. Lu Tong's voice was stern and he said: "You despise Shangguan and have no regard for the laws of the country. Do you believe that I will kill you here with one sword?"
Lu Tong was used to being arrogant, so he never thought of saving face for Lu Daqiu when he spoke. In his opinion, this governor is just a tablet, which can be placed here for the princes in the court to see. Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the Jiangnan gentry. Even if you are born in the Lu family of Fanyang, it is your turn to point fingers. Making irresponsible remarks?
However, he never thought that this old guy would be so strong-willed, and out of embarrassment, he would actually draw his sword at him. Lu Tong's face turned pale with fright, and he took a step back to avoid the shining sword. Unexpectedly, he stumbled and fell to the ground... …
Zhu Jun, who had been carefree on the side, was also startled. He quickly stepped forward and took Lu Daqiu's arm, dissuading him: "Mingfu calm down, Mingfu calm down! Lu Sima's words are wrong, why should Mingfu be on the same level with him? It's just that Lu Sima was also worried about his hometown, fearing that Shanyue took advantage of the situation and was reluctant to send troops to Niuzhuji. It would be better for him to go back and organize troops. Some of them would stay in Jingkou to prevent any unexpected events, and some of them would be sent to Niuzhuji immediately for rescue. What do you think?”
It's not that he changed his mind, it's that he had to do it.
I really didn’t expect that the usually soft-spoken governor would suddenly become so violent! No matter how arrogant and domineering the Jiangnan nobles were, Jiangnan was still the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the dignified governor killed Lu Tong on the spot, the worst he could do would be to dismiss him from office.
Is Lu Daqiu afraid of being dismissed from office?
I'm afraid he was so depressed that he had already thought of leaving! What's more, the DPRK has always suppressed Jiangnan. Even if Lu Daqiu killed Lu Tong, it was just a warning and transferred to another place. High-ranking officials will continue to ride on horses...
Lu Daqiu then took back his sword bitterly and said sternly: "Quickly mobilize your troops and horses, I will personally supervise the formation!"
Although only "a part" of the troops went to Niuzhuji, and it was not known how much this "part" would be reduced, Lu Daqiu was still satisfied. At a time when all the states are sitting back and watching, it is very valuable that Runzhou is the only one to send troops and horses to rescue. Why dare we care too much?
First of all, he can repay Fang Xuanling for his support in the past. After all, he has given his best. Secondly, it can also let the princes in the court see that only Lu Daqiu can send troops from the Jiangnan states!
It can be regarded as the bigger one among the cripples...
With Zhu Jun's support, Lu Tong walked out of the official lobby tremblingly. He looked back at the empty doorway, still feeling a lingering fear in his heart.
"This old man will be buried in Jiangnan sooner or later..." Lu Tong cursed bitterly.
Zhu Jun hurriedly said: "Silence! It's enough for us to just ignore it. Why talk about life and death and bring disaster on ourselves?"
Lu Tong was still angry with himself: "This old man has gone too far to deceive others, I will kill him!"
Seeing this, Zhu Jun didn't bother to persuade him.
Lu Tong cursed a few times and asked, "Are you really going to divide your troops and go to Niuzhuji?"
Zhu Jun said helplessly: "The Ming Dynasty is already furious. It must be pressure from the central government or a favor. Before the Ming Dynasty sealed the border, he had been working in the Shangshu Province and was an old subordinate of Fang Xuanling. . Jin Fangjun is surrounded by Niuzhuji, and his death is imminent. How could he not repay his old boss for his kindness? If he didn't, he would be called ungrateful by the civil and military officials of the entire court, so he is really anxious!" br>
Lu Tong snorted: "But the order in the clan is not to assign a single soldier..."
Zhu Jun rolled his eyes: "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Those old men in the clan just have an idea. How can they know what we are in trouble for? If you refuse to send troops, Lu Daqiu will kill you if you can't protect him. Who should I try to explain to? It’s just a pretense of dispatching some soldiers, and it won’t affect the overall situation. It’s okay if the clan can just give them a few words of advice.”
Lu Tong thought about it and felt that Zhu Jun was thoughtful.
The two of them went to watch their own rooms and discussed how to assign the soldiers. While they were whispering, they suddenly saw the clan members coming to the front of the room.
Could it be that something big happened in the clan?
The two looked at each other and quickened their pace.
People from each tribe came to the two of them and whispered to each other, and then the two of them looked like they had eaten shit...
Send troops to rescue Fang Jun?
If he had known this, why did he stand firm in front of Lu Daqiu just now and was almost cut down by the old man's sword?
*****
The city of Chang'an was roaring with the wind, filled with the depressive feeling that a storm was about to come.
The Twelve Guards army moved back and forth, and groups of soldiers with helmets and armors walked neatly through the long street from time to time.
News of Shanyue's rebellion in Xuan and Run prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River had already spread to Guanzhong. The news that Fangjun, Marquis of Huating, was trapped in a tight siege and was besieged by tens of thousands of Shanyue people for many days, was also known to every household. Ordinary people did not understand what the Jiangnan nobles did, but they just found it strange that Shanyue was just rebelling. Why did they need to mobilize troops from Chang'an to judge? Could it be that all the troops in Jiangnan are living on dry food?
At this time, the Ministry of Industry posted a notice to repair the drainage ditches in various streets and lanes in Chang'an.
As soon as this order came out, everyone was happy.
Every rainy season, Chang'an City will suffer from deep water accumulation due to poor drainage, seriously affecting travel and even daily life. Chang'an is surrounded by eight rivers, and the water conservancy is smooth, but the water often accumulates and is difficult to remove, which really makes the people deeply complain about the officials.
When they saw the notice from the Ministry of Industry stating that the dredging of the drainage ditch was fully donated by Huating Hou Fangjun, the people immediately started talking about it.
The various benefits of Fang Jun in the past were remembered by the people, and they began to worry about Fang Jun who was besieged in Jiangnan, and many people even began to pray for him.
Just as public opinion in Chang'an was rising, the battle report from Jiangdu was once again sent to Tai Chi Palace...
