    Zhang Lue laughed loudly: "Haha, that's fine. There's nothing surprising about it. I'm fine. I'm just serving wine to the abbot. My family has lived in the capital for generations. When I was young, I didn't know what to do. I walked around the streets. I was lazy and brave.  I am ruthless, dedicated to lawlessness, and I am ashamed to say that I am also a ruffian in the market. Later, I met an expert who taught me martial arts, and from this I came up with the idea of ????standing out. I remember that in the third year of Jiajing, there was a draft in the palace.  My childhood sweetheart

    ¡° Alas, let alone mentioning the twists and turns, I came to the border in a fit of anger.  At that time, the Ming Dynasty was competing with the Tubo for the countryside, so I went straight to join the Ningbo Guards.  The month after he surrendered to the army, he encountered the first battle in his life. He was beheaded at two levels and promoted to a small banner based on his merits.  "

    Zhao Ran praised: "The awl is in the bag!"

    Zhang Lue smiled brightly: "The days after that have been smooth sailing, and maybe I am on the right track. I am a natural-born soldier. In the fifth year of Jiajing, I accumulated merit and became the general banner. In the ninth year of Jiajing, I was promoted to the peak.  In the 12th year of Jiajing's reign, the Xia army broke through the White Horse Mountain formation, and the imperial court set up the Governor's Mansion in Western Sichuan. I led my men to fight in Songfan. I was first attached to the Xiaoshan Guards, and in the 15th year of the Jiajing's reign, I moved to Duhe.  Xi Qianhu was deputy to Qianhu. In the 18th year of Jiajing's reign, he moved to Qianhu, the central army of Songfan Guards. After the great victory at Baima Mountain in 19th year, he was promoted to Songfan Guards to command the Qianshi. In April, when the Hongyuan garrison was established, he was appointed as the Qianshi.  The official leader is Hongyuan Guards."

    After hearing this resume, Zhao Ran couldn't help but be speechless. Zhang Lue's promotion speed was almost as fast as his own. He had no family background and no background. He jumped six levels in a row in eighteen years, and rose from the lowest level of the small army to the middle-level generals of the Ming Dynasty.  Rank, it can be called an anomaly in the military!

    He couldn¡¯t help but praise from the bottom of his heart: ¡°If he hadn¡¯t outdone others, how could Zhang Shouyu be where he is today? Come on, I¡¯ll give you three cups of thanks!¡±

    Zhang Lue repeatedly said that he did not dare, drank the wine, shook his head and said: "Actually, Zhang can be where he is today for only two reasons. One is always at the border, and military merit is the most important in the army. Zhang has been in the army for eighteen years.  After the Battle of Rural City, the Battle of Dajianlu and the Battle of Baima Mountain, there was never a moment of rest. Thirteen major battles were fought and countless small battles were fought. Without so many battles, there would not be so many achievements. Article 2,  It¡¯s just Zhang¡¯s good luck that he can survive to this day, which is really unbelievable¡­¡±

    As he spoke, Zhang Lue fell into deep thought. Zhao Ran did not rush him and waited for his next words.

    " Of the twenty-six brothers who followed Zhang to join the army from the capital, only four are alive now. Zhang remembers clearly that there were five times when I was in a certain death situation, and it was all my brothers who fought to snatch me back.  , so Zhang¡¯s life is not his own, but his brothers¡¯¡­¡±

    Zhao Ran waited for him to fall silent, took a long breath, and quickly changed the heavy topic: "Zhang Shouyu has been guarding Hongyuan for a year, right? How is the situation there? I went to Lizhou for business the month before last, and I passed by everyone on the way.  At the Mansion, I was having a drink with Lu Jingyuan of Jingshou Palace. He once mentioned a few words casually, saying that Hongyuan is not very stable now? Well, I just asked casually. If it involves confidentiality and cannot be told to others, Zhang Shou  You don¡¯t need to tell me.¡±

    Listening to Zhao Ran talk about Hongyuan, Zhang Lue said: "There is nothing inconvenient to talk about here, not to mention the establishment of the Hongyuan special missionary area. I heard that Abbot Zhao originally proposed it at Ye Xueguan. You need to be careful with others."  Secret, but this is not necessary for Abbot Zhao. Speaking of which, I have been in Hongyuan for a year, and this year I feel not only aggrieved, but also aggrieved! "

    "What do you mean by this?"

    "In the past, when I was in the army, I would either face Tibet or Xixia. In short, I would fight in the army. I didn't need to worry too much. I just had to focus on fighting. But after taking over the errand of Hongyuan Guards Station, I felt constrained in everything I did.  , very unhappy. Let me talk about a recent incident. In the first month of this year, Baimayuan held a Zhengdan fast festival, and all the leaders of the three Hongyuan tribes were informed to be present. However, only one-third of the people came that day, and the leaders who did not come were all  I refused with various excuses. Later, when I inquired in detail, I found out that these people are holding the Maitreya Christmas Dharma Ceremony in their own villages! Moreover, many villages have secretly invited monks from the Xia Kingdom to host the pujas!"

    After hearing this, Zhao Ran was surprised: "We have been in the Ming Dynasty for a year, and these people still dare to hold a Dharma meeting blatantly? The abbot of Baimayuan is Zeng Zhili, right? How did he deal with it?"

    "Abbot Zhao knows that among the three tribes of Hongyuan, the White Dragon tribe has the largest population and the strongest strength. There are seventeen villages in total, of which three have more than 2,000 people. According to the news we found, at the foot of Zhebo Mountain  The Zhebo Village held the most arrogant ceremony, and invited six monks. Abbot Zeng immediately ordered the White Horse Court Fangtang to go to Zhebo Mountain to arrest the monks"

    Zhao Ran interrupted: "Are these monks practicing? If so, then this move is a bit wild."

    Zhang Lue shook his head and said: "I don't know. I guess there is no such thing. Even if there is, these monks are not using Buddhism to take action."

    "No action?"

    "I never saw these monks at all. After Fangtang's men left, they were attacked by Zhebo VillageAfter they were at the foot of the mountain, they were not allowed to enter the mountain.  The brothers in Fangtangthe Taoist priests in Fangtang were also anxious and reported to Baimayuan. Abbot Zeng was not there at that time, so Yuanjianyuan asked the garrison to send troops into the mountain"

    Zhao Ran recalled it and asked: "Is this Yuan Jian Yuan Yuan Hao, the former shogunate of the Governor-General's Palace in Western Sichuan?" When Zhao Ran went to Hongyuan Shu, he suggested that the Taoist temple and the official office should be integrated into one, and the abbot should be selected by the Taoist sect to preside over sermons.  According to strategy, the Supervisory Yuan was appointed by practical personnel selected by the Governor-General's Office in Western Sichuan. They were granted Dao ultimatums and actually presided over local government affairs as the Supervisory Yuan. This is how Yuan Hao came to be the Supervisory Yuan Dao.

    Zhang Lue nodded: "Yes, that's the person. After Yuan Supervisory Court asked for help from my garrison, I sent Zuo Qianhu Ning Deshou to lead the army. The army set up a formation at the foot of Zhebo Mountain, preparing to enter the mountain to clear out Zhebo Village.  But after Abbot Zeng received the news, he rushed to the foot of Zhebo Mountain and ordered the army to retreat. Ning Qianhu had no choice but to lead his army back."

    Zhao Ran asked: "What did Abbot Zeng think about it? What was his reason for withdrawing his troops?"

    Zhang Lue chuckled and said: "The first one is that the Ming Dynasty has only a short time to capture Hongyuan. This matter must be considered in the long term and cannot be impatient. Otherwise, if the fight begins, the entire three Hongyuan tribes will be unstable. The second one is about education.  , it is better to be slow rather than hasty, everything must be done with virtue, and being tough will only intensify the situation. Third, we are here to capture the monks, not to start a war with Zhebo Village. Since Zhebo Village has made it clear that  Without the monks, and the White Horse Court has no evidence in hand, it can only withdraw its troops, otherwise it will violate the original agreement with the Hongyuan Tribe."

    Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Didn't this Zeng Zhili say that he had put down the Miao rebellion? He should be a decisive person, right? How could he act like this"

    "So", Zhao Ran couldn't say it clearly. In short, he didn't like the way he acted.

    Zhang Lue said: "I have also heard about Abbot Zeng's efforts to quell the Miao rebellion. Later, when I asked about it, did Abbot Zhao know how he put down the Miao rebellion?"

    "I don't know. Would Zhang Shouyu come and listen?"

    ¡°In the winter of the 15th year of Jiajing, he entered the rebellious Miao village alone, influenced the Miao people with his small words and righteousness, and made the Miao people put down their swords and guns and return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty. He quelled the Miao rebellion without spending a single soldier. What a great contribution!¡±

    "This is quite courageous. Then how were the Miao people punished afterwards? Many people died in that rebellion. I heard that all the villages at the foot of the mountain were slaughtered. How were they dealt with afterwards?"

    "The Miao people have all returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and several leaders have received rewards from the court. Who does Abbot Zhao think he wants to punish? How to punish him?"

    "No way? So many people died"

    "It's a waste of time!"
