The nineteenth time and take a break from the pommel horse (3)
Zheng Yunming then told him how he intercepted the Mongolian army in Shashi since the war began. How could the left-behind clan almost be captured by Shi Tianze's army? After receiving the order from the Supervision Office, he told him one by one.
Wei Leweng smiled and nodded constantly. He walked from Lin'an and received a complicated front-line battle report, which was indistinguishable from the true or false. There were war reports that De'an's rebels were dissatisfied with the bullying of the Mongols and had already rebelled, and captured the Mongolian Marshal Tachaer and the rebel leader Chang Jin, waiting for the official army to go.
There were also war reports that Chang Jin led the rebels to guide the Mongols to make a plan in Jinghu, Huaixi, and many places saw the rebel flags. It also said that the parts of the north of the Zhijiang and Yidu counties have been occupied by the Mongols, and the Mongols used swords and axes to build bamboo rafts to prepare to cross the river.
Meng Gong from Huangzhou sent information that Zhao Fan, the commander of Jinghu, defeated the Mongolian cavalry that came to invade at the Ximen of Xiangyang, and the bodies of Mongolians were floating everywhere on the Han River.
Later, Huguang General He Yuanshou reported again: What Meng Gong said was not the truth, and the Mongols still pose a serious threat to the two cities of Xiangfan.
Some people also said that the Mongolians demolished the city walls in Zaoyang and used houses to make siege equipment. They had the intention to spend the summer in Zaoyang and then continue to make plans.
All the unknown reports of authenticity and falsehood seriously interfered with Wei Leweng's combat deployment. It was not until today that he got the battle situation described by the general in front. The situation in Jinghu suddenly dissipated like a fog, clearly showing Wei Leweng's eyes.
He asked anxiously: "Do you think Xiangyang is safe now?"
Zheng Yunming thought about it and said cautiously: "Disciples cannot guarantee that Xiangyang is foolproof, but at least from the moment, the main force of the Mongolians is gradually shrinking. After Yiqiu's strategy, they themselves have suffered a lot of losses. They blindly attacked Xiangyang before replenishing their troops. The disciples believe that the Mongolians will not be able to do anything without making any plans."
"What we need to be wary of is the situation in Xiangyang City."
Wei Liweng said: "I have quickly sent the troops of the Zhenjiang governor Li Hu, the deputy governor Wang Fu, Yang Fuxing, Zhao Sheng and other troops to quickly advance to rescue Xiangyang. Only Wang Jian, the official of the Imperial Infantry Corps, has his own troops and stays for many times. After several letters urging him, the progress is still slow."
Zheng Yunming advised: "Local officers and soldiers have been arrogant for a long time, and it is already a stubborn disease to not advance. You don't have to be angry. I don't expect there will be any major events in Xiangyang in the near future."
"I hope so," Wei Leweng wanted to say something, but suddenly started coughing rapidly.
Zheng Yunming quickly pounded his back while gently stroking his chest.
Wei Leweng, who had finally calmed down, took a rest in the seat for a while before speaking: "If you have anything to report, please report it."
"But your body..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Wei Leweng shouted: "If you don't report anything, it's the thing that hurts me the most!"
Zheng Yunming took two steps back, bowed his hands and said, "I have a few things to do when I come to see the supervision."
So he first truthfully reported the suspected rape of his sergeant from his subordinates to Wei Leweng.
Wei Liweng said without hesitation: "There is not enough credit for confession. I will take this person first. When you arrive in Yingzhou, you will come over. The three parties will try this case. The truth is not difficult to find out."
As expected, he was a great man who had been in the officialdom for a long time. He could see through He Yuanshou's tricks at a glance. He Yuanshou could not do anything he had in front of his supervisor.
Zheng Yunming said again: "I am in urgent need of establishing the army. There is no shogunate yet. All generals must handle the documents themselves, which is very troublesome. So I especially request that you add a few staff members to me to handle some documents and chores."
Wei Leweng turned his head and thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "You said you need Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Xiao He, I can't find it for you. There are indeed a few good candidates who are good at copywriting."
He ordered his left and right and said, "Please invite Liu Kezhuang."
Zheng Yunming thought for a while and said in surprise: "Liu Kezhuang, is it the Liu Qianfu who is famous for poetry and prose?"
Wei Leweng smiled and said, "That's right, the secret husband was convicted and demoted for ten years, and was recently re-appointed as editor of the Privy Council. This time I supervised Jinghu, and the court asked him to follow him to do some clerical records. He has more than ten years of experience in the shogunate, and he is most proficient in dealing with these things."
"If Liu Qianfu could be asked to handle these official documents, it would be the most wonderful." Zheng Yunming said not a compliment. Liu Kezhuang's poems were unique even in the Southern Song Dynasty when poetry was flourishing.
Zheng Yunming concentrating on his mind: "I sigh that the years have passed and the fame has not been established; the scholar has grown old and the opportunity has come. If General Li meets the Gao Emperor, how can he be worthy of the marquis of ten thousand households?"
Wei Liweng nodded and said, "He always talks about having great ambitions but no chance. Today I gave him such a chance. See what contribution he, the flying general, can make in the curtain of you, a young scholar?"
"I'm afraid Mr. Liu wrote too many poems and neglected the skills of the civil servants." Zheng Yunming was talking, and suddenly heard a voice outside the cabin saying: "If you want to write poetry, you need to think about it. The two are not contradictory."
The one who came in was Liu Kezhuang, who is currently the editor of the Privy Council. He has been traveling in Jianghuai and Lin'an for more than ten years. He couldn't hear any accent of his hometown Fujian while he was talking.
"Mr. Zheng is worried that you will be slow in writing your copywriting skills." Wei Leweng smiled and said, "Hiangfu, show your skills to my uncle."
Liu Kezhuang bowed to Zheng Yunming, turned around and said to the supervisor's husband, "Let's ask the general manager to make the question."
"No need to do anything else." Wei Leweng said: "Just write a report to my supervisor's office based on the case that the chief executive encountered now."
As he said that, he told Liu Kezhuang in detail the case of the sergeant raping a woman.
Liu Kezhuang sat down with a sigh, opened the inkstone, unfolded the script, grinded the ink with his left hand, held the pen with his right hand, and listened to Wei Leweng's words intently. He started writing on official paper like flying.
As he boasted, he waved thousands of papers and turned into a pen. In less than a stick of incense, a scattered report was written in Liu Kezhuang's pen.
Zheng Yunming took the report of the ink trace and read it carefully, and found that Poet Liu had not traveled in the Jianghuai curtain for many years in vain.
The paper in the newspaper was filled with words such as "regret" and "great pain", which seemed to be extremely disgusted with this crime of destruction and crime. It also promised to handle the case strictly, so that the criminals could be punished and the people would be quelled, as if they were taking responsibility on their shoulders.
But you have to investigate it deeply. There is no point in the report admitting that the crime was done by your soldier. On the contrary, the beginning and end of the text always emphasize that the case is not clear yet. You must organize evidence and conduct investigations from multiple parties, and do not ignore it.
In the article, he even implicitly mocked He Yuanshou and others for "even though they are not in the camp affairs, they are willing to help each other directly", "he has obtained confessions from the woman, but they are still missing", "he is completely imprisoned, and the general manager's yamen is not aware of it", which clearly means that He Yuanshou meddled with other people's affairs, and the whole incident is very likely to be his unilateral frame-up.
Although Liu Kezhuang first heard of this lawsuit, he had already seen a lot of cases of dispute between the army and the army. He could see He Yuanshou's trick at a glance. He didn't need to test the criminals, nor did he need to identify them in person. He just took them to report them with a few confessions. He did not really want to maintain military discipline, or even put the criminals to death. All they wanted was to drive the Tulong Army out of Yingzhou City.
Zheng Yunming was extremely surprised. Although Liu Kezhuang's name was found in textbooks in later generations, he did not know it after traveling through time, but meeting Liu Kezhuang was only today. Liu Kezhuang came from Lin'an, and he knew nothing about Jinghu, but in the narrative of the sentences of the supervision of his husband, he clearly grasped the essence of this matter.
Zheng Yunming, who only has a vague concept of official operations, needs such an experienced staff member.
He bowed to Liu Kezhuang and said sincerely: "I just said nothing. If Mr. Liu refused to abandon me, please come to Jinghu to help me. If Zheng Yunming could get help from his husband, it would be like a fish in a rut suddenly got clear water. From now on, he would swim freely without any obstacles."
Wei Leweng also said: "There are Shenzhou in the northwest of men, and the strategy of peace and rebellion. Today, it is the time for the Qianfu to display his strategies. General Manager Zheng is the son of the Qing Dynasty. He is open-minded and straightforward. He is your best master. Don't miss this opportunity."
Liu Kezhuang bowed and thanked him, saying, "I was convicted for my words and was idle by the court for ten years. Now that I have just recovered, I have such a warm invitation as Zheng Guanren. How can I not be lucky in my life?"
He bowed to Zheng Yunming and said, "If General Meng refuses to abandon him, Liu is willing to drive under the tent!"
"That's right." Wei Leweng was obviously very satisfied with the combination of the two guests and hosts: "One of you is a scholar with a famous poem and essay, and the other is a scholar who accidentally joined the army. In the future, the army of Jinghu will definitely have a bit of a bookish spirit."
"I hope they have more murderous aura." Zheng Yunming sighed: "Although the country has fought for three hundred years, the army only has the aura of violence but does not have the courage to kill the enemy. This is also the most troublesome thing about me."
"You must believe in your actions, you must be successful in your words, you must be rewarded for your merits, and you must be punished for your mistakes. This will prompt them to fight bravely to kill the thieves." Wei Leweng said, and suddenly remembered someone: "I have a person here who is an old acquaintance. There is a way to manage the army. It is better for you to invite them to the shogunate together. It will definitely be useful to assist you in governing the army in the future."
Zheng Yunming agreed casually, but he was puzzled: Who is the person he knew who is still supervising the mansion?
Wei Leweng raised his hand and ordered, "Go and invite that gentleman." He said to Zheng Yunming, "Take aside what else do you need before he comes, report it together."
Zheng Yunming put out a letter from his sleeve, and the corresponding terms were written in small regular script.
