Chapter 1 The Three Traitors of Guangning
Although Guangning is an important city, there has been no war since Yongle and has been peaceful for a long time.
The current garrison of Shi Tingzhu, Su Wan, a native of Jianzhou, was named Guarjia. After Chenghua, he was taken by the Ming army to support him. After several generations, he had already become a Chinese family, and his surname was changed to Shi. At that time, the court placed the Shi family in Guangning and gave him a hereditary low-ranking military position.
By the Shi Tingzhu generation, the former governor Zhang Tao advocated Huairou in Jianzhou and adopted various policies to appease the Jurchens in Liaodong, so as to show that the court treated the Jurchens well.
In terms of military and political employment, Governor Zhang also boldly appointed the Jurchens' naturalized officials. Shi Tingzhu thus got good luck and was regarded as a typical example by Governor Zhang. He actually promoted him three levels in two years, from a low-ranking military position to be the garrison of Guangning.
How could Shi Tingzhu not be grateful for such a kind of love?
Last year, when Shi Tingzhu heard that Lord Zhang passed away, he was very sad and cried for days. If he were not a friend, Sun Degong, the Dusi of Wubao, who belonged to Guangning, persuaded him, but he was afraid that Shi Shoujie would go with Lord Zhang.
Guangning Qianzong, Jin Li, who was born in Wu Jinshi, also had a good relationship with Shi Tingzhu. He once told his wife privately that the reason why the garrison master was so sad was that he really felt that the governor Zhang Tao was kind-hearted; the other was that he was worried that once Zhang Tao died, the successor governor would change his rules and incite him, a "typical" established by the former governor, to the cold palace.
Jin Li's worries are not unreasonable. When Zhang Tao was in office, he valued the Jurchens' old tribe and gave them high officials and generous salaries. Now that he has changed his governor, who can guarantee that the new governor will treat the Jurchens with preferential treatment in every way like the old governor?
If the new official takes office and sets a fire, can his Shi Shou Guard still stay in Guangning?
Fortunately, the new governor did not change the provisions proposed by his predecessor after taking office, and the employment of the predecessor was followed, which made the uneasy officials everywhere breathe a sigh of relief.
The reason is that the outside world speculates that the first is that the end of the year is approaching, and it is inconvenient to make a big move. The second is that the ex-girlfriend died and it is inconvenient to move forward without any action for public or private succession, and at least it will be delayed for a year and a half.
Otherwise, it will definitely cause criticism.
Around the dynasty, a businessman in the north came to news that there was a big movement in Jianzhou, but there were different opinions on how to make a big movement.
Guangning is close to the inner city, not as close to Tieling and Shenyang, so no matter what rumors are, the officers, soldiers and the people are still celebrating the New Year happily.
After all, if there is really something big, it is still the north side, and it cannot be stopped here. Even if Jianzhou really dares to rebel, tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong will suppress it just a matter of wavering, so why bother?
If you really want to say that you are nervous, there is one person who is naturally a garrison master from the old Jurchen tribe.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Shi Tingzhu has never communicated with Jianzhou in recent years. He does not know the governor of Jianzhou, nor does he know him.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to have an affair with Jianzhou!
However, the old Jurchens who were acquainted with the garrison often dealt with the merchants from Jianzhou, and they gained a lot of benefits.
I also vaguely heard some statements about the Jurchens being united.
Shi Tingzhu always smiled after hearing these statements, but he didn't take them seriously, but he agreed with them in his heart.
Because, isn’t his current status relying on the unity of the Jurchens?
If the governor of Jianzhou had not united the Jurchen tribes, how could Governor Zhang treat these old Jurchen tribes preferentially?
I think Shi Tingzhu has long regarded himself as a Han Chinese, but Governor Zhang was dug up the fact that his Shi family was an old Jurchen clan, and the tree was loved by typical examples.
In this way, Shi Tingzhu could only more agree with the statement that the Jurchens were united by the governor of Jianzhou. Because if he didn't do this, how could he ensure that his high position would not suddenly disappear one day?
While agreeing, I am very concerned.
Shi Tingzhu secretly sent people to Jianzhou to find out what the rumors were about to make preparations early.
If you have the heart, this New Year will not be smooth.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, people sent to the north have not yet returned, but they learned that their good friend Sun Degong passed through Guangning.
Sun Degong and Shi Tingzhu have similar personalities. They have a very good relationship. They used to have a drink together. On the second day of the lunar month, Sun Degong and his wife went to Liaoyang's father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings. After that, they stayed for three days before returning. They were originally planning to go back directly to Wubao, but thinking that it was unreasonable to pass by Guangning and not pay New Year's greetings to the garrison, so they asked their wife to go back first and then came with their servants.
When his friend arrived, Shi Tingzhu was happy and rushed to send someone to greet him. He asked his wife to prepare a banquet at home. Thinking that he did not accompany the guests, he asked the servant to invite another good friend Jin Li to come over.
Jin Li happened to have nothing to do. When he heard the garrison host to invite Sun Degong from Zhenwubao, he rushed over excitedly. When the three of them saw each other, they were polite to each other, and then they talked and laughed to the banquet.
After a while, he was having a lot of fun drinking. When the gatekeeper was in full swing, the soldiers guarding the gate came to report that an eunuch came from the capital and brought a lot of followers, and called the garrison at the city gate to see him.
Damn, what a bullshit eunuch is so majestic?!
Shi Tingzhu, whose face was flushed, was so annoyed. Why did an eunuch call him to go to see him with a noble Guangning guard!
It is also necessary for the garrison to be angry. According to common sense, the garrison is a military position. If you don’t deal with eunuchs, you will really have a military envoy in the capital. According to reason, the local civil servants will take care of everything. There are rules for everything, but if you stop at the city gate, you will have to come by the lord of the city.
"See you!"
Shi Tingzhu was drunk, but he ignored the Emperor. Sun Degong and Jin Li were still awake. Thinking that it was better to have less than more things, he persuaded Shi Tingzhu to take a look.
"I heard that those who are eunuchs are all petty and will retaliate against their grudges."
As Jin Li said, he and Sun Degong raised Shi Tingzhu and asked the servant to get hot water to wash the guard. The three of them shook their way to the city gate.
Shi Tingzhu said that he was unruly and gave him the eunuch face, but he also had the intention of obedience in his heart. As Jin Li said, although the eunuch was a eunuch, he was the person around the emperor, so it was better to offend him less.
When they arrived at the city gate, Shi Tingzhu called the officer guarding the gate to ask where the person was. The officer pointed out outside the city, and the three of them followed the gesture. Sure enough, there was a team of people outside the city, carrying many long banners. The leader was a young eunuch with a white face and no beard. From a distance, he looked very arrogant and domineering.
"What's the origin? Admiral Maritime Eunuch?"
Sun Degong looked up and looked puzzled: What kind of eunuch? I haven't heard of it before.
Shi Tingzhu was also puzzled. He had never heard of any admiral maritime eunuch, and he was a Inland Army Town. What did a maritime eunuch do when he saw him?
