Chapter 78: The Master of Ceremonies


Lei Xianchu was actually reluctant to come to Luoding to deal with a group of bandits, but the governor Zhang Xiaoqi insisted on sending him here, saying that there might be a big change in the imperial court, and the king of Xining had withdrawn the Gaozhou garrison, and if he didn't master some soldiers and horses, this Gaozhou would become an empty city.

Hu Quan of Daqiao Mountain is not a bandit, he was a personal soldier of the king of Ningxia, and he is still quite loyal, and last year he also responded to the call to lead the troops to attack Xinhui, this time he served the court again, and earned Luodingzhou City.

Something has changed on the side of the court This Lei Xianchu did not ask Zhang Xiaoqi, but Zhang Xiaoqi did not say much to him, during a banquet, Lei Xianchu listened to Dong Yunyao, a staff member of Zhang Xiaoqi who drank a lot, said a few words, but the language was ominous, only implied that the King of Qin seemed to be disrespectful to the Son of Heaven and had the intention of not being subservient, while the King of Xining was dedicated to serving the Ming and had many accusations against the King of Qin, and the rest did not show a word.

Speaking of Sun Kewang, the king of Qin, and Li Dingguo, the king of Xining, Lei Xianchu is disdainful, in his opinion, Sun and Li are the same as Zhang Xianzhong back then, if the big thief of the country is not that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, how can the Ming Dynasty collapse After the death of the hateful Zhang thief, the Daxi thief, who was already at the end of his rope, suddenly heard that the Wuding Tusi Rebellion occurred in Yunnan, and the Tusi Rebellion caused the Mu family in Shizhen Yunnan to be unable to control the situation.

Now this big western thief has entered the customs through the Qing army, and the official army is powerless to resist, so he proposed what Lianming resisted the Qing Dynasty, and then turned into a Ming soldier and horse together with the rest of Li Zicheng's Dashun thief It's really ridiculous, obviously they are all thieves, but now they have been crowned kings, promoted to dukes, and made marquises, but on the other hand, their group of warriors who have been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations have become lost dogs However, the Daxi thieves are strong and strong, and the imperial court wants to count on them to fight with the Qing army, which means that there are 10,000 unwilling soldiers who can only endure it.

At this time, only soldiers can speak, and only soldiers can have status, why can the big western thief be crowned king is not because of soldiers Although Luo Ding's gang of bandits is unbearable, they can occupy the state city, and they can be regarded as able to fight, and they will not be worse than the official army, and see that Hu Quanzhi does not know each other, if he knows each other, he will be incorporated into him, and ask him to be an officer with soldiers, if he does not know each other, he will be killed.

Hey, what kind of bullshit Luo Ding general, isn't it just a broken seal, then Cheng Bangjun has already returned to Anlong Mansion, with the support of the governor, what can I do if I become this general, is it possible that the imperial court will help the bandits to call me to wait for the cold Thinking that Zhang An had returned to Luoding to report the news, the people in the city would not be able to welcome him for a while, Lei Xianchu simply dismounted, asked the soldiers to move a stone, and immediately had an interesting subordinate to take the chessboard, and after the chess pieces were placed, Lei Xianchu did not sit down with a big lama, and summoned people to play a game, but to an official who was riding on a horse and wearing a seven-grade robe, and said with a smile: "Wait left and right, the huge person may as well get off the horse and kill a few games." ” "It's rare that Lord Lei has this Yaxing, so the next official will accompany the adult to kill a few games."

Immediately the officer dismounted with a smile, but he got off the horse on the back of an attendant.

This person is not a big official, he is the magistrate of Dianbai County under the jurisdiction of Gaozhou Prefecture, and his surname is Pang.

The Ming generation, although it is a noble and martial artist, but more than ten years ago, when the Liukou made trouble in the Central Plains, the military generals have long stopped taking civil officials in their eyes, but Lei Xianchu's guerrilla from the third grade is very polite to Pang Zhixian of the seventh grade, and there are ghosts when things go wrong.

Pang Tianci's origin is indeed not small, he himself is nothing, but his uncle and brother of the same sect are a big man who is invisible to Lei Xianchu, this person is Pang Tianshou, the eunuch of the Yongli Imperial Court who is far away in Anlong Mansion.

Pang Tianshou was the eunuch of the imperial horse as early as the Chongzhen Dynasty, and shortly before Li Zicheng captured Beijing, he was sent to Nanjing, and later the Hongguang Emperor was in charge of the two Guangzhu Ponds.

Hongguang ordered him to go to Fujian and Liangguang to collect taxes, but halfway through he heard that Nanjing had fallen, so he changed his career to Emperor Longwu.

Because there were not many cronies and eunuchs around Emperor Longwu when he ascended the throne, Pang Tianshou took the initiative to vote, and he was more qualified as a eunuch of the Chongzhen Dynasty, so he was trusted by Emperor Longwu and changed to the master of ceremonies and the pen.

In the second year of Longwu, Emperor Longwu sent Pang Tianshou to Macao for help, hoping to use Portuguese firearms and artillery to help the Ming Dynasty resist the Qing Dynasty.

Unlike Lei Xianchu Wenlongwu Emperor martyrdom and Guangzhou Shaowu, Pang Tianshou is an old man in the palace after all, knowing that the emperor's turn is not Emperor Shaowu, and Shaowu is not a human monarch, so he took 300 Portuguese soldiers to Zhaoqing to serve Emperor Yongli, and then followed Emperor Yongli to fight in Guangdong, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guizhou, loyal and deeply trusted by Emperor Yongli.

Speaking of which, although Pang Tianci and Pang Tianshou are the same uncle, but this is a bit far, when Pang Tianshou went to Nanjing, Pang Tianci was only taken by him to listen to the current people, and the year before last, after Pang Tianshou was promoted to the palm seal of the ceremony, he remembered Pang Tianci, an uncle and brother who had been with him for more than ten years, so he asked the son of Yongli for grace and entrusted him with a Dianbaizhi County.

If it is a relative or a brother within the five suits, I am afraid that a Dianbai Zhixian County will not be able to send Pang Tianci away, and it will be necessary to have a prefect.

Pang Tianci is also indifferent, unlike the eunuch relatives who ordinary people think are fake tigers, he does not rely on Pang Tianshou to be powerful, but on the contrary, he is very low-key, so that when this electricity Baizhi County has been almost a year, except for the beginning of the Gaozhou Mansion to pay attention to this person is a relative of the celebrant eunuch, but then no one cares.

Lei Xianchu originally didn't need Pang Tianci to follow Luo Ding, he was a pro-people official, not a staff member of the governor's yamen, and he couldn't get along with Luo Ding's affairs, but it happened that he happened to be in Gaozhou these days.

It doesn't matter if he is low-key on weekdays, but when he really appears in front of everyone, others have to think of the big eunuch standing behind him.

Out of the idea of befriending Pang Tianshou, Zhang Xiaoqi specially arranged for Pang Tianci to go to Luoding with Lei Xianchu, thinking about repaying Pang Tianci with this matter, in this case, how could Pang Tianshou remember his Zhang Xiaoqi's love.

There is no need for Pang Tianshou to arrange it, as long as he casually says such a good word when he has something in the future.

Although Pang Tianci is low-key, he knows the arrangement of the governor in his heart, and he does not break it, so he follows Lei Xianchu all the way.

On the road, Lei Xianchu was very enthusiastic about him, because he was a martial artist, and he didn't know about the readers' club, Lei Xianchu always pulled Pang Tianshou to play chess, pointing to use this game of chess to get closer to Pang Tianci, turn a corner and climb the line of Pang Tianshou, so that he could get a good position in the future, unlike now, he only has an empty name of guerrilla, and he wants nothing.

He didn't know that this Pang Tianci was actually not a scholar, and the knowledge in his stomach was very limited, Lei Xianchu really made some bullshit with him, Pang Tianci was embarrassed, but this chess game hit his heart, and he was very happy to kill Lei Xianchu along the way.

This chess is not Go, but chess, and the military attache Lei Xianchu has little interest and energy to learn Go, but this chess is easy to learn and play.

Pang Tianci was also impatient to play that kind of Go, just like this chess soldier came to block it, and after a while, the two of them were in full swing.

The 200 Gaozhou soldiers who came with Lei Xianchu sat on the road in groups of three or five, lazily holding swords and guns, not even a sentry guard, and there was no appearance of half an army.

Some of them are bold and even loud, not at all afraid of the guerrilla adult's anger, the reason why this is so is because they know that Lord Lei loves soldiers the most, and he also likes to be the most lively, as long as he does not go too far, Lord Lei will not care about them.

About half an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves was heard ahead.

Hearing that a horse was coming, the Gaozhou soldiers still didn't care, and only a few people in front of them stood up and looked forward.

Lei Xianchu didn't pay attention to the chess, and was only thinking about whether he should go to the army first, but Pang Tianci was a little nervous and turned his head to look over. oshow7 t1706231537:
