Chapter 173 Duan Tianyu 5
Xie Shangshu is not ignorant of Lin Jing. If it was seven or eight years ago, if Lin Jing was to be put under others, with Lin Jing's arrogant personality, who would he be able to obey!However, today is not what it used to be.It's not that Lin Jing has changed his temper, he still has no one in his eyes, but for the officialdom, Lin Jing is really not what it used to be in the past few years.
At least, from Lu Qing's point of view, this Lin Si does not look like people's rumors.
Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan went to Lu's house to visit General Lu, and General Lu Qing was naturally willing to win over the troops outside the pass.Lin Jing also talked about what happened yesterday. Lin Jing smiled and said, "Now this yamen really looks down on people. Seeing that our bills are from outside the customs, the maintenance fee has increased by [-]%. If you want to say that the [-]% maintenance fee , I don’t take it seriously, but I just can’t swallow this breath. I even mentioned the name of the general, guess what happened to the general?”
Lu Qing actually heard about something yesterday, but at this moment he still has to keep a secret. Lin Jing laughed, "That night, the servant Chen from the household department sent me the approval note to the post. Fortunately, the emperor has a general, otherwise , we foreign officials should not call these dogs to bully us to death."
Lu Qing asked the two of them to sit down, and smiled, "That's because he doesn't know you, Ah Jing, but anyone who knows you, who dares to delay you."
"The general is wrong. I'm afraid it's because he recognizes me that he intentionally embarrasses our foreign troops." Lin Jing sat on the lower right of General Lu and said, "I have not been in the imperial capital for these years, and now I have a family of my own. Someone needs to try. Test my depth. Hey, I haven't come back to this imperial capital for a long time, and now it seems that it is still the same."
"The flowers are similar from year to year, but people are different from year to year." Lu Qing asked, "Have you completed all the procedures that should be done? If there is anything you need to do, just leave it to me, and I will let Ah Jun do it. The six yamen are always proud, and they are willing to sell me a little bit of face." Lu Junshen, Lu Qing's eldest son, is a very taciturn man.
Lin Jing said, "It's all done. It's also the third brother. When I came back to the imperial capital, I didn't have the opportunity to visit Liubu. This time, I have to go in person. In the end, I really met someone who has no eyesight."
Lu Qing said, "Now we are going south to the reeling bandits. If there is any embarrassment, you must tell me. It is the sixth department, and we dare not delay the reeling bandits now."
Lu Qing is not considered old in terms of age. He is in his forties. For a general, this is his age.Lin Jing's disciples were all in their early twenties, and Lu Qing looked at them with relief, and talked about the battle against the barbarians in Hanzhou City last year.Lu Qingdao, "At that time, I received the battle report from Hanzhou City, and I was worried about the battle in Hanzhou City day and night. It was said that the second prince of the barbarian king was leading the battle, but in fact it was not the barbarian king who was behind it, so I was worried about the safety of Hanzhou city. Can you rely on outside the pass?" The army then defended Hanzhou City, keeping the barbarians out of the city. It can be seen that the strength of the army outside the pass is not inferior to that of the imperial guards. Later, you rushed to help the imperial capital, which opened my eyes."
Lin Jing said, "If you want to talk about others, I really dare not compare with the imperial capital. The general knows that there are many bandits outside the border. The general also served as a general in Longcheng when he was young. It is said that the general was very personable in the imperial capital at the beginning. , all the emperors were famous Confucian generals. Later, after staying in Longcheng for a few years, when returning to the imperial capital to report on their duties, the officers and soldiers guarding the city showed your identity three times, but they didn't dare to ask you to enter the city gate, so they invited you They let you enter the city when they came to the official."
This is also an anecdote about Lu Qing when he was young. Lu Qing smiled and said, "As you said, Ah Jing, bandits are rampant outside the pass. The ladies all peeked at me and admired me very much. After a few battles, the soldiers at that time were very ugly. I had 5000 men and [-] bandits, and they were all defeated. I was in a hurry and retrained soldiers and horses. After spending a long time with the soldiers outside the pass, you will know that the people outside the pass are extraordinarily bloody. After I have almost trained my soldiers, I basically look like a man outside the pass with a fur hat and a big leather jacket. Later, I was ordered to return to the imperial capital. Speaking of the soldiers guarding the city, my mother didn't even recognize me when I came home!"
Lu Qing's words were so funny that Lin Jing's disciple and junior couldn't help laughing.
Lu Qing said, "I've stayed in this place outside the pass. This place is a bitter place. However, Ah Jing, you really had a good eye when you went to the pass. Many people feel that the pass is cold and chaotic, and they don't want to go. You need to know that there is chaos. Only then can great governance be achieved."
"It's only a great chaos that can lead to great governance." Lin Jingzhang praised, "The general's knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary people."
Lu Qing and Lin Jing complimented each other for a while, and they both felt that the other was a person who could cooperate, so they got down to business.Lin Jing said, "I don't understand one thing."
"Ah Jing just say it."
"Why is there only [-] days of military rations?" Lin Jing said, "We traveled thousands of miles south to the rebels, and the military rations were supplied every [-] days. If the rebels cut off our food transportation routes, they would starve to death without beating us. That's right. Back then when I rushed to help the imperial capital from outside the pass, I prepared food and grass for a month."
This Lin Si has really tricky eyes!
Lu Qing said, "This is the time when the crops are not harvested, and the court's food and grass have to be dispatched from various places. Just the food and grass for this half month is still your elder brother..."
Lin Jing waved his hand immediately, and said, "I have established myself, so I am no longer a brother."
Lu Qing didn't choke, and wanted to say something, but thinking that this was the Lin family's housework after all, Lu Qing continued to talk about the grain and grass, "I quarreled with Lin Guogong and the Ministry of Households for more than a month before we settled on the matter." The grain and grass are escorted every half a month. Not all the grain and grass are taken from the imperial capital, this time we took away the grain and grass from the imperial capital, after that, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and Shanxi have already prepared grain and grass in advance, and will send grain south according to the order."
Lin Jingtu's younger brother frowned when he heard this, and Lu Qing, who was also a veteran, said, "Don't worry, I have personally checked the situation of food and grass in various places."
Tu Xiaosan felt relieved, "The general is meticulous in his actions, he is really a role model for our generation."
Lu Qing said, "How dare you not be careful about such a big matter."
Lin Jing said, "As long as there is enough food and grass, we will lose half of this war."
Lu Qing smiled, "It seems that Ah Jing is determined to win."
"For war, half of the fight is food and grass. We are running a long distance, with an army of 10,000+, and the most taboo is the insufficient supply of food and grass." Lin Jing said, "As for the other things, the origin of Duan Tianyu is unknown, and we have no information outside the customs. Chang, I only found out that he took the King of Jinling to proclaim himself emperor, I wonder if it is true?"
Lu Qing looked serious, nodded slightly, and said, "I have heard more about Duan Tianyu here. This person was originally a member of a hundred households in the army. There was a catastrophe in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people were in dire straits. There was a bandit rebellion earlier. Fortunately, it subsided quickly. Unexpectedly, in the second year, there was still a catastrophe in the south of the Yangtze River. The people had nothing to eat, so they wanted to rebel. Duan Tianyu was not the only one in the bandit chaos in the south of the Yangtze River. Hu, he made a lot of military exploits during the Cao Bandit Rebellion in the first year. However, in the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River... Duan Tianyu's military exploits were falsely claimed..." At this point, Lu Qing showed deep hatred on his face, and said in a deep voice , "Military merit! It's all made by soldiers with their lives! Seizing military merit is like taking human life!"
Swallowing a breath, Lu Qingfang continued, "Duan Tianyu went to the superior to reason, but got a whip. Thinking about it, there are many injustices in the Jiangnan army. In a fit of anger, Duan Tianyu contacted his friends in the army. He was quite wary. With talent, after killing the top thousand households, there was a lot of response, and he just kept doing nothing and raised the flag of rebellion."
Lin Jing said, "The general who was stationed in Jinling City at that time seemed to be named Xie. Is that General Xie still around?"
Lu Qing said, "There has been no news about General Xie, most likely he died for his country."
Lin Jingdao, "With General Xie's status, you will see people when you are alive, and you will see corpses when you are dead. If Duan Tianyu kills him, he can deter the court by beheading him. If someone else kills him and dedicates it to Duan Tianyu. I will be rewarded. Even if I inform the court, it will be beneficial. If there is no news today, if it is not good, I will die as General Xie."
Tu Xiaosan added, "Furthermore, Duan Tianyu was very aggressive, and when he was outside the imperial capital, the subordinate officials fought in person. According to Duan Tianyu's murderous nature, the general, I wonder if there is a list of the former generals of the Jiangnan Army who died in battle. "
"There are."
Lin Jing said, "May I allow my subordinates to watch?"
"I guess you are outside the pass, and the news is probably not as good as the emperor's. I have prepared all these, and you can take them away for a closer look."
Lin Jingtu's mistress showed joy on his face, and Lu Qing was also satisfied when he saw that they were paying attention to the war.Lu Qing said sincerely, "Ah Jing and A Li (Tu Xiaosan, now surnamed Li), I am older than you, we also hit it off when we talk, so I will speak directly if I have something to say. You are all young and promising generals. What do you think about the war in the south of the Yangtze River?"
Lin Jing said, "I have the lowest official position, so let me talk about it first."
In fact, it's not that the official rank is the lowest. Lin Jing also wants to say that he loves to express "high opinions" on things since he was born.Lin Jingdao, "Let's talk about Duan Tianyu first. We have all seen him outside the imperial capital. This person is naturally difficult to deal with, but we are not incompetent. In my opinion, this trip to the south , what is difficult to deal with is not Duan Tianyu, but the unpredictable situation in the south of the Yangtze River."
"General, you have seen the soldiers that Duan Tianyu led back then. They were not an army that could be trained in a day or two. And to train such elite soldiers, I don't believe that Duan Tianyu's superior is such a general who covets his subordinates' military exploits. "Lin Jing said, "We are all leaders of the army, and we have all trained soldiers. If we want to have the combat power of elite soldiers, this army must not be without spirit. As for an army with spirit, at least the generals are acting First, you must be able to convince the masses. In the army, how to convince the masses is only four words, with clear rewards and punishments!"
"So, in my judgment, Duan Tianyu's experience of 'rebellion' is at least inaccurate. This army came prepared." Lin Jing said directly, "I suspect that the King of Jinling was not kidnapped and ascended The throne. The king of Jinling himself is the leader of this war. And Duan Tianyu is his strong general! As for General Xie, if he is not dead, he is either captured or surrendered, other possibilities are very small."
Lu Qing looked at Lin Jing with a complicated expression, "Ah Jing, the King of Jinling is a vassal after all, and there is no conclusive evidence, so it's not easy to say that."
"General, if I have solid evidence, I will directly report to the court. The life and death of King Jinling has nothing to do with me. What I mean is that the strategy of going south to suppress bandits, I hope, can be considered on this premise." Lin Jing said, "We have 10,000+ people going south, General, I will tell you the truth. There are some things that we have to guard against."
Lu Qing nodded slightly, looked at Tu Xiaosan, and Tu Xiaosan said, "What Ah Jing said is what I want to say."
It was the first time for Lu Qing to meet such an unprincipled general... He knew that the relationship between Hanjin and the two cities was good, but Lu Qing never expected that it would be so good.
Lu Qing said, "Ah Jing, I understand what you mean. In fact, although no one said this publicly, even this official has suspected the King of Jinling in private. However, it is not easy to say this right now. .”
Lin Jing said, "Even if we need to talk in the future, if it's before the battle, the general can just let me know. Let me say this. Anyway, even Emperor He knows that it's unreasonable."
Lu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What's wrong with such a good reputation?"
"Someone has to sing a bad face." Lin Jing said, "In this battle, my third brother and I brought fifty thousand soldiers from outside the pass and tried our best. I hope to bring them back safely."
Young generals like Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan, even though they were local turtles outside the pass, but due to their age, they are also popular in the imperial capital.Lu Qing also liked the two of them very much, and they left a meal at noon, and the two of them were not polite. After the meal, they talked about Jiangnan's military strategy for a long time, and then they left.
After a while, Lu Qing's view of Lin Jing changed greatly. Even Lu Junshen, who had been a wallflower for a day, said, "There are many false rumors. Look at Lin Jing. His demeanor and heart are worthy of the famous generals of the world."
Lu Qing nodded, and sighed again, "It's a pity!" After a long time, he said again, "It's a pity."
Lu Junshen was a little confused, Lu Junshen said, "Although the Lin family drove Lin Jing out of the clan, according to my son, if there was no such thing as leaving the clan, I'm afraid there would not be the Lin Jing of today."
"I'm not saying this, young man, it's not bad to experience more trials and tribulations." Lu Qing said, "Your Majesty can't let go of the matter with Duke Xiangyang. It's a pity for the court that a person like Lin Jing can't be reused."
