Chapter 64 Zhou Shangwen’s situation

Zhou Mengchen did not expect this result either.

When he saw this arrogant and domineering major general, he had a much lower opinion of the veteran General Zhou Shangwen.

However, after all, Zhou Shangwen was the biggest connection left by Liu Tianhe. Even if he didn't give Zhou Shangwen face, he would only give Liu Tianhe face. When Zhou Mengchen could help Zhou Shangwen, he would also help.

But he didn't expect that Zhou Junzuo would make a big turn of 180 degrees.

Zhou Mengchen said, "Please get up quickly."

Zhou Junzuo couldn't get up and said, "Young nephew offended Uncle Shi, it's really damn." While saying that, he slapped himself. Zhou Mengchen pulled his hand and said, "Don't do this. If you recognize me, my uncle, go to the house and say."

Zhou Mengchen stood up and said, "What are you doing when you are standing there? Don't you want the piece-based salary?"

Zhou Mengchen said, the people below scattered with a bang. The craftsmen who were knocked over by Zhou Junzuo also supported each other at this time.

It can be seen that Zhou Junzuo is very sensible in his actions.

Zhou Mengchen brought Zhou Junzuo to his pay room.

Zhou Junzuo is a great man. At this moment, he is like a primary school student who sees a teacher, and he dares not go beyond the distance with every move.

Zhou Mengchen was helpless towards this nephew who had a huge contrast between the past and the future and said, "I just was so arrogant, but now I have become a little sheep. Are you not afraid that I will lie to you?"

Zhou Junzuo said: "I'm not afraid. Before Mr. Liu passed away, he wrote a letter to his father, mentioning his deceased uncle. I don't think he dares to pretend."

Zhou Mengchen said: "What does that mean when you just looked like? How is this what you do?"

Zhou Junzuo said, "Uncle Shi has some knowledge. Although my nephew has not read many books, he has been practicing court training since he was a child and still understands it. But there is nothing he can do? After Liu Gong left, his father was in the court and there was no one more aid. Although Mr. Xia took care of his father, his father was not the direct descendant of Mr. Xia, and Mr. Zeng, the northwest. If there is no above, the little devil below is in dilemma. I will negotiate with them on behalf of my father and talk to them politely. They have no principles at all. "

"But in war, military affairs are like fire, and it doesn't wait for anyone. I had to do the same thing as Qiu Ba. Then I realized that the more unreasonable I was, the more reasonable the opponent would be. I could only do this. Before doing things, make a big fuss, wait until someone is old and take a step back, and the matter will be done."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen was almost a little amused and said, "This is going to offend people."

Zhou Junzuo said: "As long as my family has been winning battles, I am not afraid of offending people. And if my family cannot win battles, even if I don't offend people, my family will not end up well. Actually, today, I don't know that the Ministry of War is uneasy, but so what? Only in this way can I get the cannon. Anyway, I don't care about offending people more."

"I just don't know that Uncle Shi is here."

Zhou Junzuo looked at Zhou Mengchen with his eyes lit up and full of hope.

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen suddenly felt sad.

General Zhou, the famous Ming Dynasty, was known as the flying general when he was young. However, he did not want to be in such an embarrassing situation.

This is actually related to Zhou Shangwen's growth environment.

Although Zhou Shangwen became famous during the Jiajing period, his youth was in the Zhengde period, which was a rare era of revival of martial eunuchs. Because of the favor of the emperor, the status of the warrior was not too low, but after entering the Jiajing period, his situation was getting worse and worse.

At this time, Zhou Shangwen also met his noble man.

That is Liu Tianhe.

Or in other words, Liu Tianhe and Zhou Shangwen also achieved mutual success.

During the Zhengde period, when Liu Tianhe was an official in Shaanxi, Zhou Shangwen was his subordinate. Liu Tianhe offended Liu Jin and was imprisoned. In order to collect evidence of Liu Tianhe's crimes, Liu Jin sent people to torture Liu Tianhe's subordinates, including Zhou Shangwen, who was a man who was beaten by Liu Jin's people for several years and never spoke.

Later, Liu Jin was defeated and Liu Tianhe was rehabilitated. The two families became friends of life and death.

Although Liu Tianhe did not work in the Northwest, everyone knew that Zhou Shangwen had such a civil servant support, so he would not make things difficult for him.

Later, Liu Tianhe was transferred back to the northwest, and he cooperated with Zhou Shangwen, which was one of Liu Tianhe's highest achievements in his life, the Hei Shui Victory.

Liu Tianhe was later transferred to the position of Minister of War and retired as Minister of War. He also had some influence, but these influences disappeared after Liu Tianhe's death.

What Zhou Shangwen didn't say about the war. To be honest, he was the first general of the Ming Dynasty.

But being honest and arrogant cannot do things.

Moreover, Liu Tianhe almost protected Zhou Shangwen for the rest of his life. He did not regard Zhou Shangwen as an outsider and had great trust. This kind of cooperative relationship between civil and military affairs is what Zhou Shangwen is used to.

It’s just a pity that there is only one Liu Tianhe in the world.

In fact, news of Zhou Shangwen's domineeringness has been coming over the years. Otherwise, the battle of Zhou Shangwen was appointed as the general and Zeng Xian was the general manager, which was much more successful than Zeng Xian alone. Xia Yan only consulted Zhou Shangwen's opinions, but never revealed it. He wanted to use Zhou Shangwen's meaning.

The meaning is also very clear.

For the common interests of civil servants, Zhou Shangwen cannot be used very much.

From Zhou Junzuo's words, Zhou Shangwen actually understood his situation.

In the civil service system, Zhou Shangwen is domineering and annoying, but for many interests, Zhou Shangwen has to fight for. If he does not fight, he will not be able to appease his soldiers. If he does not fight, he will not be able to win a battle. If he cannot win a battle, Zhou Shangwen will not be able to survive in the current officialdom.

Zhou Mengchen said, "It's easy to say. If you have any more things in the future, just come to me. Don't think that I am a sixth-rank official. Some things can still be helped. At least you don't have to make trouble like this. If anyone explains to you, let me come to me."

Although Zhou Mengchen did not want to abuse his political influence, this influence was very willing to be used by Zhou Shangwen, a veteran. Not to mention the friendship between the older generation, Zhou Shangwen alone is now an iron wall of the Ming Dynasty, so he must support it.

After hearing this, Zhou Junzuo was overjoyed and said, "If you say Uncle Shi, we father and son can feel at ease."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Don't you want a cannon? How much do you want? I will arrange for you immediately to squeeze Zeng Mian's orders back, but the money still needs to be given. After all, I have to take care of the people below."

Zhou Junzuo said: "Of course I won't let Uncle Shi suffer a loss. Will I give Uncle Shi a single point?"

Zhou Mengchen frowned and said, "No, I help you because of the teacher's kindness and the achievements of the old general Zhou. If you say this, I will beat you out with a big stick. The price I will give you is the same as Zeng Mian. How much is needed, give me a number."

Zhou Junzuo said: "I only bring 10,000 taels. But can it be faster? It is best to be faster, the better."

Zhou Mengchen said, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Junzuo was slightly silent and said, "I won't hide it from Uncle Shi. Now, in the past one or two months, the Datong Border Cavalry and the Tartars have been in conflict with each other, and it has been several times in a day. Although there are not many losses, each has its own victory or defeat, one thing is certain, that is, the main force of the Tartars has already faced with Datong."

"While the heat is so hot today, the Tartars are not resistant to the heat, and they may not send troops within the next month or two. Of course, maybe they may."

"My father judged that this time Altan took action, there would be tens of thousands of cavalry. In the second half of this year, there would be a fierce battle in Datong. If the supply was too late, it would not be able to catch up with this battle, and it would be me who came to hand over to Uncle Shi."

Zhou Mengchen was shocked and said, "The situation is so critical? Will Governor Zeng go to war?"

Zhou Junzuo said: "No, this time, Xuan Da will bear it alone. Governor Zeng has put all his energy on the attack next spring. This battle of the Tartars may not be due to Governor Zeng's troops. In short, from the moment the court decided to reconcile, in the past two or three years, the attention will definitely be repeated."

"The Tartars will not sit still and wait for death. It is because they can't wait, so my nephew will make trouble."

Zhou Mengchen said, "I understand." Then he called Cheng Dawei in and said, "Calculate the inventory and press Zeng Mian's orders, and count out how many cannons there are for me."
