Zheng Yunming hurriedly stood up to greet him and said happily: "Senior Renbo, why did you suddenly come to Xiangyang? Since you were expelled from the position of Zhendong Military Officer after passing the exam, we classmates have not been able to meet for several years. I really want to ruin my brother!"

Xu Yuanjie laughed and said, "I did a good job in the Zhendong Army. I couldn't resist Master Wei's repeated sends to invite him, so I had to resign from my official position and find an aide to your subordinates."

Zheng Yunming was very grateful. He knew that people at that time despised the shogunate. Anyone with a formal position would not give up his official position to be an aide. Xu Yuanjie was a smart person who became famous in his hometown at a young age. He was also widely praised by people at the time when he was under the disciple of Zhendexiu. His career should have been extremely bright, but he was willing to abandon his official position and become a master by himself. If it weren't for Wei Leweng's many verbal words and the friendship between classmates, this would never have happened.

"Tell me," Xu Yuanjie sat down honestly and bluntly in front of the deputy governor: "Give me some position."

Of course, Zheng Yunming knew what position he should give to this senior. He was the first old friend to join since Zheng Yunming took office, and a prodigy who can recite thousands of words of scripture every day. It is most suitable to use it to grasp the most core secrets in the army.

"If the senior can trust me," Zheng Yunming said: "The senior must do the position of Jiyi's text."

The chief jingyi text is a shogunate position in the Song Dynasty army that directly controls the intelligence work in front. In addition to the use of spies in front and the collection of intelligence, the main task is to carry out various confidential work and handle various confidential documents and affairs. Although its status is under the staff officer and the senator, its importance is actually the greatest in the shogunate, and it has been the world's most important.

Usually, this position was assigned by the court with absolutely reliable loyalty, but after the Beijing-Hu War, there were vacant everywhere. Even the text of the supervisor in Zhao Kui's mouth was temporarily seconded by Wu Qian, the disbanded supervisor's entourage. No one even cared about the choice of the generals from various places for the confidentiality of the officials around him.

The old man Xu Yuanjie took on this position, and no matter how suitable it is, it will be gone.

In addition, Yuelu Academy, Dongting Academy and Bailu Academy also received letters from Wei Leweng. The reputation of this literary leader is the best slogan, and someone immediately traveled thousands of miles to Xiangyang to join Zheng Yunming.

Zheng Yunming received more than ten people, including those who came to apply for the recruitment with the advice of teachers and friends, who were full of the desire to serve the country, and there were also ambitious people who were arrogant and had the power to set off a unique world in Xiangyang City. Zheng Yunming reviewed them one by one and made arrangements respectively.

But there was another person who was Zheng Yunming who first knew his name and then arranged a position to write texts in front of the army to wait for him until three months later.

The person who recommended this person to Zheng Yunming was not someone else, but Meng Jing, the commander of the Zhongshun Army who returned from the Three Gorges expedition to fight against the water bandits.

When the Zhongshun Army, Ezhou Navy and Jinge Army Navy went upstream and attacked Zhong Guobin in a large-scale attack, the Zhong family mixed the ships into the civilian ships, and all the bandits hid among the people of Xiazhou and Guizhou. Meng Jing carried out a large-scale search and pursuit in the two states without hesitation. Because he followed the advice of Peng Man, the commander of the Jinge and E navy, he sent spies to sneak into Zhong Guobin's water bandits and inquire about the hiding place and contact location of the water bandits, the search and suppression went smoothly.

On this day, they obtained the whereabouts of the bandit leader Zhong Guobin and sent a ship to chase him. Zhong Guobin only brought two speedboats, and more than a dozen confidants fled to the downstream Zhijiang County. The official ship could not catch up with him, and only pursued him with dozens of water mail horses. Finally, they surrounded Zhong Guobin in a shallow on the water surface at the junction of Zhijiang and Xiazhou.

At that time, more than a dozen civilian ships were moored on the shallows. Zhong Guobin jumped over the wall and crashed the fast ship into a civilian ship. Then he jumped onto the boat with a helper, trying to take hostages against the official army.

Unexpectedly, he picked up the bamboo curtains on the cabin of the ship. A young man suddenly rushed out of the cabin with a long sword in his hand, stabbing Zhong Guobin to the deck at a speed of lightning speed.

The officers and soldiers' ships quickly approached, and several naval troops jumped up and grabbed Zhong Guobin. Meng Jing carefully asked the young man about his origin, and then he asked about a strange case.

Last year, while the Mongolians were in the Jinghu area, they also used the four kings Kuoduan as the head commander to supervise the elite troops of Mongolia, Han, Jurchen, Tubo, Dangxiang and other tribes, claiming that 500,000 people invaded the western defense line of the Song Dynasty.

Since the Wu Xi turmoil, the defense line in the western region was broken, with less than 30,000 defenders in Shukou, and most of them were old and weak. Among them, the most combat-capable were the 5,000 loyal and righteous men under the deputy commander of Lizhou Cao Youwen. Moreover, the Song Dynasty used the three passes of Shukou and the five prefectures outside the pass to block the western border. When Tolei Khan led a large army to the Jin Kingdom, it was plundered, burned and killed by the Mongolian army. The three passes and five prefectures were all destroyed and used as barriers to the western region. This time, the Mongols almost threw all the main forces of Qin Feng and Ganlong into the southward battle. After attacking the Song Dynasty, they were unstoppable and headed straight for the Western Shutang Ao.

The Song Dynasty's commander of Mianzhou, Gao Jia and Mianzhou he managed were blocking the Mongols' rush to Shukou. The city walls of Mianzhou were demolished by the Mongolians during the Tuolei invasion, and there was no protection in the whole province. Zhao Yanna, the commander of Sichuan Xuanfu in the Song Dynasty, sent someone to inform Gao Jia to withdraw to the Da'an army in the rear. Gao Jia refused. He said Mianzhou was in a dangerous position. If the Mongols attacked Sichuan, then this place would be almost the only place to restrain them. If Mianzhou was lost, the Mongols would no longer have any scruples to attack Shu. Zhao Yanna first expressed his agreement, but then feared the prestige of the Mongolian army and left first.

Gao Jia defended Mianzhou alone, and only brought a few soldiers to conduct street fighting with the Mongolian army that invaded Mianzhou. He finally lost the best of his strength to be killed.

Fortunately, Cao Youwen, the commander of the Song Dynasty guarding Qifang Pass, led his troops to advance at night and repelled the Mongolian army in Qingyeyuan, which prevented the Mongolians from taking advantage of the victory to break into Sichuan. Gao Jia, who died in the city, was also promoted to the direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion by the Song Dynasty.

Gao Jia's son was working as a historical record school in Chengdu at this time. When he heard the news of his father's death, he immediately took his servant north to the front line. At this time, the Mongolian army occupied Mianzhou and was fighting against the Song army on the front line. He and the servants disguised themselves as they sneaked into Mianzhou under the control of the Mongolian army, found the place where his father had no war, and brought his father's remains back to Chengdu. He saw the filial son's passerby along the way, and was moved and shed tears.

This young and low-level official, because of his father's death, was no longer in the mood to do anything in Chengdu. He took his father's remains along the river and prepared to return to his hometown for burial. However, he encountered officers and soldiers in Xiazhou to arrest bandits. When Zhong Guobin rushed onto the ship, he was only worried that the bandits would damage his father's remains, so he fought with Zhong Guobin and injured him.

"I am really a loyal minister and a filial son, and a glory." Meng Jing said to Zheng Yunming: "Looking at the child's self-restraint at that time, I decided that this son could not be used by me, Jinghu."

Zheng Yunming also agreed that this young man is indeed a talent for making such strong behavior after the martyr.

"What is his name? Let me go to recruit me when I write a letter myself."

Meng Jing shook his head and said, "Gaus had lost his father, and he should be filial to three years according to the etiquette system. The governor wrote a letter to recruit him at this time. He would never come out no matter what."

"Now is a time of crisis in the country," Zheng Yunming said: "How can loyalty and filial piety be able to achieve both sides of the world at any time? I should use Liu Qianfu as a letter to explain the truth to him and persuade him to come out and apply for the recruitment."

Meng Jing also said: "I'm also writing a letter. I've talked with him for a long time before on the Yangtze River. This young man has both national hatred and family grudges. I want to explain the truth to him. He shouldn't hold on to the etiquette."

Gao Side was not a pedantic person who followed the rules, otherwise he would not have had a bold move to go deep into the enemy's backbone to find his father's body. This time, a new famous general in Jinghu wrote a book and invited him to work in his shogunate. He was also very excited. Finally, he made an agreement with Zheng Yunming that after his father was buried, he would come to Xiangyang to take office after he was buried in his hometown for a year.

Of course, if Xiangyang was still in the hands of the Song Dynasty at that time.

In this way, two senators from the shogunate of the Deputy Chief of Jinghu Department assisted military affairs, one person in charge of Jiyi, one person in charge of Jiyi, six people in office work, twenty-four envoys and generals prepared to send (preparation is a system used by the Song Dynasty to supplement the vacancies of military generals. Once the chief general was promoted, dismissed or died in battle, the eight members were basically prepared.

Only the position of staff officer is still missing. The staff officer is the leader of the shogunate, which is almost the role of the chief of staff in later generations to the military chief. The difference is that the role of staff officer today is not as detailed as that of later generations, so this chief of staff is almost the leader of the general, regardless of military affairs, politics, governance of the people, military, and strategy.

Aren't such people the only ones who can be used as an idle person? At that time, Chen Yu, the staff officer of Han Shizhong and Xue Yu, the staff officer of Yue Fei, were both officials as the first-class amnesty envoys, and were the first-class think tank figures in the Southern Dynasty.

In view of this, the last thing Wei Leweng did before leaving for Beijing was to apply for a document to the court, and Ma Guangzu, the former senator of the Supervisor Office, was changed to the position of deputy chief commander of the Jing-E-E-Deputy Office. This was a very extraordinary move. Although the Deputy Chief Commander of Jing-E-E-Terminator led 10,000 troops and stationed in a key area, he was only a local military officer. Ma Guangzu was over 30 years old and strong, and had experienced practical work training in the local area. Currently, he served as the chief of the court in the court's military weapon supervisor. The famous young talent in the court was the first-class talent in the court prepared for Fengge in the future. Now he was sent to a military general to serve as a senator. No wonder the court talked a lot, thinking that Ma Guangzu's follow-up to the Supervisor Office this time was offended by Wei Leweng, and this move was like a demotion.

Only Ma Guangzu, who was in front of Xiangyang, understood the weight of his staff officer. Zheng Yunming was a newcomer who rose rapidly in Jinghu. After only one year of war training, he had been upgraded to the high position of deputy commander. With his courage and courage and his prominent background, his future must be for the Duke, Marquis and Prime Minister. Moreover, the ten thousand troops of the Deputy Commander of Jinghe, who were inspected for many days, was actually the most loyal and reliable and fully combat-capable corps in Xiangyang Prefecture. His status within the jurisdiction of the Jinghu Commander was no lower than that of Wu Qian, who was the commander of the commander of the commander. In fact, every time the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander, Wu Qian and him were summoned together.
