Chapter 336 Huai'an Small War Chief Lin of the Ministry of War(2/2)
The two actions made Gaoke's expression softer, and the atmosphere was quite awkward. Gaoke looked down at the battlefield and listened to the yelling and screaming that were gradually lowering inside, and he was sure to win, and it was meaningless to stay here again.
He immediately clasped his fists and said:
"Sir, I will bring the will, and I don't know if the Grandmaster knows the news. I will make a decision and send a quick horse to Jinan to deliver a letter. I hope I will atone for you."
Chen Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he had accepted the order and had not yet known the news from Jinan, things might have really become a big deal.
Although he has a bad temper, he is not a fool. Gaoke's behavior is good for him. Put yourself in his shoes. If the imperial decree is put into the hands of Gaoke, what should he do?
No one is wrong with this matter. Only the imperial court issued the order was too dirty. He sent a few people to bring a document written by yellow silk, which made the Huai Yang Army uncomfortable. Think about it carefully, Jiaozhou Camp has indeed done a lot of things that are not in line with the system in recent years.
However, Shandong soldiers and horses have done land affairs over the years, at least for this empire. They are still a place to win when fighting against enemies of various Ming empires. This army does not harm the local people, and has strict military discipline, and allows thousands of people to live with food and clothing and dignity, without participating in the tide of refugees.
But the court still has to take action from time to time to mix some sand. Such an emperor and such a court are speechless...
Seeing Gaoke just about to get on the boat and leave, Chen Liu pondered for a moment and called Gaoke. When he returned to him, Chen Liu said in a deep voice:
"My mother and my wife are both from Shandong. I am not suitable for the environment and the environment in this Jianghuai area. When you go back, let the Lingshan Trading Branch branch arrange for people to send to Jinan. I will feel at ease if I stay by the side of Dashuai."
Hearing Chen Liu's words, Gaoke was stunned, stood still and said solemnly:
"Please rest assured, so I must do this seriously. The family of the general is not in line with the Jianghuai River. So I set off with the generals. I also feel at ease when I place the generals."
The two of them looked at each other and laughed loudly. The little unhappiness just now had disappeared.
On the 18th day of the first lunar month, someone was on duty. As the Minister of the Shang Dynasty, Chen Xinjia came to the ministry to urge him just after the Lantern Festival. One matter was arranged one by one.
Originally, after Songshan's defeat, the officials of the Ministry of War who knew the details were a little despised Chen Xinjia, but these years, the position of the Minister of War and the Minister of War was also replaced like a lantern, and those who were in this position seemed like a fool.
Whoever is in this position has a lot of black pots to make a living. God knows how long he can sit. Chen Xinjia must not be able to do it for a long time. The censors in the court should take action after the New Year.
Although the position of Minister of War is difficult to do, it is one of the closest positions to the emperor. There are really many people who want to do it, and with these people, it is difficult for Chen Xinjia to sit firmly.
Some people want to watch the fun, but some are also indifferent. Some are in charge of the Ministry of War. Some are fat and oily, while others are extremely bitter. I don’t have the chance to start even if I want to be greedy.
The head of Lin manages documents in the Ministry of War. Everyone knows that his family is from Jizhen, and his parents have already gone. He and his wife and three children are in the capital. The salary of the Ming officials is meager, so it is really difficult to raise a family of five. The head of Lin never dares to intervene in the hands of each other and have a banquet between colleagues.
Everyone also knew that his life was hard, and no one paid attention to him. Over time, Director Lin became more and more alternative and lonely in the Ministry of War. The so-called poor land and poor officials in the yamen are like this.
In the 14th year of Chongzhen, it was said that because he could not hold on in the capital, Director Lin sent his wife and children to his relatives' home in Shandong. The capital official was so shabby and embarrassing.
During the Chinese New Year, officials who are well-off are all enjoying themselves at home. The head of Lin is alone in Beijing, deserted and deserted. He simply is on duty in the ministry, which is also considered a time to spend time.
That day, Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, came to the inner corps of the Ministry excitedly and began to arrange work, such as the Minister of State, the Doctor, the Chief Officer, and the like, were called over.
I heard that I was going to Shandong to "Qing Army", everyone looked excited. Shandong soldiers and horses have always been respectful to the court. I have heard that Shandong has a good year and that the number of people is approved, the other party must be responsible for themselves.
Moreover, the "Qing Army" combined the counting of the number of people and paying wages. This was to use a year's share of silver to pay wages, and a little deduction would be a great benefit.
Master Lin listened carefully, but he hurried behind. This kind of thing was not his turn, but the others were full of expectations and thought that when they went back tonight, they would prepare some expensive gifts for Lord Shangshu to see if they could get the beautiful this time.
What no one expected was that Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, appointed a general at the Ministry of War's office. The person who designated to go to Shandong to do this job was Zhang Ruoqi, the head of the Ministry of War. The civil servant who served as the military supervisor in Hong Chengchou's army was also one of the main reasons for the defeat in the Songshan War.
After the collapse of Songshan, Zhang Ruoqi, the head of the Ministry of War, boarded a small boat from there and fled back to the capital at sea. Chen Xinjia and Zhang Ruoqi had a very close relationship with the head of the Ministry of War. This time, he went to Songshan to get promoted to the place of Zhang Ruoqi through his military achievements.
When Zhang Ruoqi was about to set off, he said proudly that he would be the one who came back when he was about to be a member of the army. His arrogant appearance made his colleagues dislike him. This time, when he came back in a mess, many people were sarcastic and were waiting to see Zhang Ruoqi make a fool of himself. Who would have thought that this time the fat man fell on Zhang Ruoqi again.
What kind of collusion does this guy have with him? He even had a big mess and even a beautiful girl turned around. Everyone cursed in his heart, but his face was expressionless. The two ministers of the Ministry of War were even more godly, and they did not express their own opinions on everything Chen Xinjia said.
All this had nothing to do with Master Lin. He watched indifferently and listened. When it was time to go home, he still greeted several subordinate officials according to the rules of the past and walked back to the mansion in Nancheng by himself.
