Chapter 623: Meeting Mao Chengdou
Now Chongzhen no longer treats Zhao Xing as the commander of the Jinyiwei. Instead, he treats it as a firefighting team. He appointed Zhao Xing to deal with anything that others cannot solve.
Fortunately, with his rich historical experience, Zhao Xing plagiarized everywhere and played his own way, and he could do very tricky things perfectly. Therefore, he thought it was more appropriate for Zhao Xing to go to the northwest.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the current Jinyiwei.
The rectification of the government in the world is basically ready, and there are no major storms. The salary of officials has increased and there are fewer corrupt officials. The main job of the Jinyiwei now is to collect information from all over the country and collect taxes.
To be precise, the current Jinyiwei Yamen has almost become a tax Yamen. In this way, Zhu Chenguang can be easily competent. In Chongzhen's view, Zhao Xing is just an idle person.
How could he be an idle person? Should he be running around for the Zhu family?
Zhao Xing decided not to leave the capital. Emperor Chongzhen believed that this was when someone impeached Zhao Xing in the first place. He finally scolded them and let them go easily, which made Zhao Xing, who was far away in Liaodong, have the idea of being loyal ministers outside and worrying about slander and ridicule.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking too much, and Zhao Xing originally had this idea. But this time it was definitely not because of this.
This is mainly because, according to history, Huang Taiji would launch another attack on Beijing City, although there are now Guanning Iron Cavalry in western Liaoning and the rebuilt Dongjiang Town, which are suppressing him tightly.
But with Huang Taiji's great talent and strategy and the heavy inertia of the historical chariot, this may happen again.
Now that Master Sun is gone, Hong Chengchou has also been sent to western Liaoning. Although his brother-in-law Zhang Zhiji, although he has a hundred thousand imperial guards who can fight, his ability is still limited, and he has transferred Lu Xiangsheng to the northwest again. Looking at the court, there is really no one who can command the overall situation.
That's why Zhao Xing didn't dare to leave.
In the evening, Zhao Xing took a free throw, took the opportunity to take the car, and came to Mao Chengdou's mansion.
Mao Chengdou's current family has a part-time job as an Jinyiwei, and he has an empty salary for the Jinyiwei and a monthly salary for the Jinyiwei.
With his position, the court's salary has also been greatly improved, and life has become relatively more abundant.
At that time, Chongzhen found an excuse to reward him with a house confiscated by a corrupt official, so Mao Chengdou's home was no longer shabby.
Mao Shouyi, the butler who was already Mao Chengdou, saw Zhao Xing coming from afar, trotted to meet him, bowed and bowed: "Hey, commander."
Zhao Xing waved his hand: "Let's be calm, can General Mao be at home?"
Mao Shouyi quickly replied: "At home, the eldest son was here to visit the prince just now, and the three of them were talking in the flower hall."
The eldest son he mentioned was Zhao Xing's eldest son. After Zhao Xing specifically told him that he would come to Mao's mansion often, his son would always pull the prince to run here.
Now these three people have become good friends.
Following Mao Shouyi into Mao's mansion, I first met with the two ladies, asked about my body, mood and life, and then went into the back garden.
The back garden is not big, but it is designed with a unique and elegant look. Every step of the corridor bridge will be displayed in front of you with another picture.
After passing through a row of weeping willows, a small pond appears in front of you.
It is midsummer when lotus flowers bloom, setting off the small and unique pavilion in the pond with a turquoise and colorful purple. It is indeed pleasing to the eye.
As soon as Zhao Xing walked in, the prince facing Zhao Xing in the pavilion, he quickly stood up and shouted happily: "The teacher is here, the teacher is here."
Mao Chengdou, who was facing away from Zhao Xing, quickly stood up and looked back. Seeing that it was Zhao Xing, he quickly got up and went out of the pavilion to greet him.
The prince and his son also came to salute.
After Zhao Xing saw the prince's courtesy, everyone returned to the pavilion and sat down.
The little prince excitedly slapped the table and begged Zhao Xing: "Teacher, hurry up and tell us the battle in Dongjiang Town."
Boys are good at fighting, while girls love embroidery. This is something that exists in the genes.
On the one hand, Zhao Xing satisfies the prince's invitation, and on the other hand, his purpose is to tell the actual situation of Dongjiang Town to the real master of Dongjiang Town, the general officer Mao Chengdou.
First, after occupying southern Liaoning, the expansion of the army, personnel arrangements, and future strategic directions were explained in detail to Mao Chengdou.
Mao Chengdou is already a young man, 20 years old this year. The tempering of this special life makes him look more mature and calm than an ordinary 20-year-old young man.
Facing Zhao Xing, he just listened quietly with a faint and humble smile. He didn't speak, asked back, and didn't delve into it. He was like listening to a story, and this story had nothing to do with him.
After spending half an hour explaining this matter and satisfying the young prince's curiosity, Zhao Xing solemnly told Mao Chengdou.
"Before I came back, Mao Zhongming and Liu Guangdao, this pair of civil and military officials, applied to me to ask you to go to Dongjiang Town. I would like to ask, what do you think about this matter?"
The little prince jumped up: "Brother Mao has read a lot of military books and Zhan Ce. The three of us are together and we also love to talk about these things. He returned to Dongjiang Town and led a million troops to ensure there is no problem."
Then he was eager to try: "At that time, Brother Zhao and I will help him next to him. We will definitely beat Huang Taiji's wild boar skin to the ground and look for teeth."
Zhao Xing smiled, "The prince should be in the capital, how can he run around outside? Also, how can you call General Mao the eldest brother? The rule of the king and his ministers cannot be confused."
The prince stubbornly said, "I have already learned the three-game charity with Brother Mao and Brother Zhao, and I have been praying for my son. If there is one day in the future, Brother Mao and Brother Zhao will be my right-hand man, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. Just like you and my father."
Tong Yan Wuji. If outsiders hear such ruthless words, he, the prince, will be deposed. But Zhao Xing is not those stubborn guys, and he feels quite relieved to hear him say this.
"A good man and three gangs, one emperor and one minister, this is a good thing. Forget your second brother, but you have to learn from your elder brother. The main thing to learn is his calmness, which is quite critical."
As a result, the little prince retorted: "My elder brother is good at everything, but I really can't learn the calmness you said. My elder brother can not leave the yard for several months, study in the study room, and sit for a day. That would suffocate me to death."
When Zhao Xing heard this, he laughed: "When sitting in the country, the first thing is to sit in a place, and then sit firmly. If you always wander around like you, how can you do it?"
Then he looked at Mao Chengdou: "What I just mentioned, how did you think about it?"
