Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 719 The Mountain Rain Is Coming

Lu Daqiu was so angry that his beard turned up!

Know a thing or two?
The Shanyue riots in the territory are raging prefectures and counties, and Gushu City, the neighboring Xuanzhou government, has been captured by the Shanyue rioters. The life and death of the governor of Xuanzhou is unknown. Tell me a little bit about it?Do you want to say that you know a thing or two when our government is swallowed alive by the chaos and people's livelihood in Shanyue?
Lu Daqiu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. These Jiangnan relics have always called themselves gentry, but they are actually wolfish ambitions. They only know the family but not the court. They only know the interests but not the people. They are selfish and selfish.
Suppressing his own anger, Lu Daqiu said coldly: "The mountains are raging, and you are in charge of the military affairs. How can you just sit back and watch? Hurry up and go to Niuzhuji to rescue Huatinghou. If Huatinghou is okay, you and others Everyone can remember the merits, if there is something wrong with Huating Marquis, which hurts the face of the court, when His Majesty punishes the crime, you will know the disaster of today!"

Lu Daqiu's words were already compromised, and he greatly lowered his requirements. He made it clear that I don't care what the Shanyue people are like, as long as I keep Fang Jun alive!Don't think that you can just sit back and do nothing, the court has nothing to do with you, if His Majesty is furious, none of you will be able to run away!
It's a pity that Lu Tong, as a son of a noble family, has acted recklessly under the wing of the family since he was a child, how could he be intimidated by Lu Daqiu's words?
Immediately sneered and said: "Please also ask the Ming government to learn from it. The mountains are raging, no less than tens of thousands, and the city has already been plundered, sweeping Xuan and Runzhou. As the Sima of Runzhou, it is the duty of the official to protect the land and the people. If you attack rashly Rescue Huating Marquis, causing the emptiness in the territory to be taken advantage of by Shanyue, harming my hometown and harming my homeland, who will bear the responsibility?"

Lu Daqiu was furious at the case: "I am the governor of Runzhou, and I am also the governor of Runzhou. I am in charge of the military and government of Runzhou. Naturally, I take all the responsibilities! I first order you to gather troops and horses, and immediately go to Niuzhuji for rescue. Delay!"

All the prefectures in the Tang Dynasty had Dudufu, which belonged to the nature of a large military region, and those in charge of more than ten states were called Dudufu.Chief officers and governors are generally led by princes, and long history is in charge. For example, Li Ke, king of Wu, is "the military governor of Anzhou and other thirteen states."The general governor is also served by the governor of the state where he is located.

Of course, rights does not mean that your official position is high, or that you are within the scope of your authority, that is, you can have the final say.Lu Daqiu can't command every single soldier in Runzhou, and Li Ke still can't control the military affairs of the thirteen states under his command...

Lu Tong was not afraid, and retorted: "Don't blame the officials for being rude. The Ming government said that they should take the responsibility, but they don't know how to bear it? At that time, Runzhou will be devastated and Shanyue will loot it. How can you bear it? Can you bear it?" ?”

Lu Daqiu's nose almost smoked!

This is simply blatant disregard!
The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River insulted me too much!
Lu Daqiu had never been in such an embarrassing situation in his life. Anger rose from his heart, and evil grew out of his guts. He took off the saber hanging on the wall with his hand, and drew the sword with a "choke", and pointed the sharp point at the sword. Lu Tong's throat was full of sternness and he said: "I despise the superior and have no law of the country. Do you believe that I will kill you here with a single sword?"

Lu Tong has always been used to being arrogant, so he never thought of saving face for Lu Daqiu when he spoke.In his opinion, the governor is just a memorial tablet, and it is enough to place it here for the princes in the court to see. Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the Jiangnan gentry, even if you are from the Fanyang Lu family, where is it your turn to point fingers, Gossip?
However, he never thought that this old man would be so strong, and he would draw his sword to meet him under shame and annoyance. Lu Tong turned pale with fright, and hurriedly took a step back to avoid the shining sword, not wanting to stagger and fall to the ground... …

Zhu Jun, who had always been leisurely at the side, was also taken aback, and hurried forward to grab Lu Daqiu's arm, dissuading him: "Ming Fu calm down, Ming Fu calm down! Lu Sima's words were wrong, why should Ming Fu be as knowledgeable as him? Lu Sima was also worried about his hometown, and he was afraid that the mountain would take advantage of it, so he was reluctant to send troops to Niuzhuji. How about this, the subordinates will go back and organize troops, some of them will stay in Jingkou to prevent accidents, and some of them will Immediately send it to Niuzhuji for rescue, what is the Ming government's opinion?"

It's not that he changed his mind, but that he had to.

I really didn't expect this assassin who was usually soft and flattened and rounded to be so violent suddenly!No matter how arrogant and domineering the Jiangnan gentry was, Jiangnan was still the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the dignified governor killed Lu Tong on the spot, at worst it would be the end of dismissal.

Will Lu Daqiu be afraid of dismissal?

I'm afraid that his mental depression has long been on the mind of leaving!What's more, the central government has always suppressed Jiangnan, even if Lu Daqiu killed Lu Tong, it was just a reprimand, and he was transferred to another place.

Only then did Lu Daqiu take back his sword bitterly, and said sharply: "Quickly mobilize troops and horses, and I will personally supervise the formation!"

Although only "a part" of soldiers and horses went to Niuzhuji, and this "part" didn't know how much it would shrink, Lu Daqiu was satisfied.When all the states are sitting on the sidelines, only Runzhou sent soldiers and horses to rescue, which is very valuable, why dare to care too much?

Firstly, he can repay Fang Xuanling's support and support in the past, after all, he has done his best.Secondly, it can also be seen by the princes in the court that only a certain Lu Daqiu can send troops in all the states in the south of the Yangtze River!
It can be regarded as a big guy out of a lame...

With Zhu Jun's support, Lu Tong walked out of the lobby of the official office tremblingly, and looked back at the empty doorway, feeling lingering fear in his heart.

"This old man, sooner or later he will be buried in Jiangnan..." Lu Tong cursed bitterly.

Zhu Jun hurriedly said: "Shut up! We just need to make it empty, why bother talking about life and death, just asking for trouble?"

Lu Tong was still angry with himself: "The old man is too deceitful, I will kill him!"

Seeing this, Zhu Jun didn't bother to persuade him.

Lu Tong scolded a few words and asked, "Do you really want to divide your troops to go to Niuzhuji?"

Zhu Jun said helplessly: "The Ming government is already furious. It must have been pressured by the court, or someone has asked for favors. Before the Ming government sealed off one side of the border, he had been working in Shangshu Province. He was Fang Xuanling's old subordinate. Now that Fang Jun is besieged in Niuzhuji, and his death is imminent, how could he not repay his old boss for his kindness? If not, he will be called ungrateful by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so it is really urgent! "

Lu Tong snorted: "But the order of the clan is that no soldiers are allowed to be assigned..."

Zhu Jun rolled his eyes: "Are you really stupid or fake stupid? Those old men in the clan patted their buttocks just for one idea. How can we know what we are in trouble for? If you refuse to send troops, Lu Daqiu will cut you down if you don't get along. Who is it time to reason? It’s just a pretense to assign some miscellaneous soldiers, and it doesn’t affect the overall situation. The family can at least give a few words, it doesn’t matter.”

Lu Tong thought about it, and felt that Zhu Jun was still thoughtful.

The two went to their respective guards, discussing the assignment of soldiers along the way, when they were whispering, they suddenly saw members of the clan coming to the guards.

Could it be that something important happened in the clan?
The two looked at each other and quickened their pace.

People from each tribe came to the two of them and whispered to each other. Immediately, the two of them looked like they had eaten a bowel movement...

Send troops to rescue Fang Jun?

If he had known this earlier, why bothered to be so stubborn in front of Lu Daqiu just now, and was almost chopped off by that old man with a sword?

*****
The wind in Chang'an City was turbulent, filled with a sense of depression that was about to come.

The army of the Twelve Guards moved back and forth, and groups of soldiers with helmets and armour, from time to time, neatly crossed the long street.

The news of Shanyue's rebellion in Xuan and Run prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River has long spread in Guanzhong, and the news that Hou Fangjun of Huating was under heavy siege and was besieged by tens of thousands of Shanyue people for many days is also widely known.Ordinary people don't understand what the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are doing, but they just find it strange that the mountains are more rebellious, so why bother to send troops from Chang'an to judge?Is it true that the troops in the south of the Yangtze River all eat dry food?

At this time, the Ministry of Industry posted a notice to repair the drainage ditches in the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

As soon as this order came out, everyone was happy.

During the rainy season, poor drainage in Chang'an City will lead to deep water accumulation, seriously affecting travel and even daily life.Chang'an is surrounded by eight rivers, and the water conservancy is smooth, but it is difficult to get rid of the stagnant water, which really makes the people have deep complaints against the officials.

When they saw the notice from the Ministry of Industry stating that the dredging of the drainage ditches was fully donated by Huating Hou Fangjun, the people immediately talked about it.

The various benefits of Fang Jun in the past were remembered by the people, and they began to worry about Fang Jun who was besieged in the south of the Yangtze River, and many people even began to pray for him.

Just as the public opinion in Chang'an was rising, the battle report from Jiangdu was once again sent to the Taiji Palace...
