Chapter 344
When the hearts of the people are scattered, the team will not be able to lead.
The end of the dynasty has always been the case. This Great Ming, in the army, especially the towns in eastern Liaoning, each town’s generals have their own plans, and they are all old oil.
Making money and drinking the blood of soldiers is a good hand, and the battle is terrible. I never said that any famous General is a national hero, a martyr of his country.
On the contrary, there are many unknown people, low-level officers, but also some bloody.
If it weren’t for the food and payment in the hands of the Imperial Court, the generals of the towns in Liaodong would have become warlords.
The current situation is that it is too good to be considered for the generals in the towns of Liaodong. The key lies in Tatar's defeat. When Tatar is fierce, the persecution is very urgent. The Imperial court does not get a small amount of military salary, and you get as much as you want. But now Tatar was defeated and became a coward. From the perspective of the situation, the importance of soldiers and horses in Liaodong's towns has decreased.
First of all, in terms of food and payment, the Imperial Court will certainly not be as generous as it used to be. It is not easy to drink the blood of soldiers, and it is difficult to make money. For many of them, it is naturally unhappy.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers at the bottom of the ranks were rejoicing in the victory of the First World War in Jinzhou. But as far as the soldiers and the others are concerned, the mood is complicated.
There is no way to make a fortune in the country.
When Zhao Yu went to Liaodong with the expectations of the Crown Prince and the emperor’s imperial decree, the elders in the cabinet also sent people to the general soldiers of the towns in Liaodong. .
One purpose is to prevent Crown Prince from deploying troops.
A few old bastards in the cabinet have overestimated their authority.
Without exception, the people sent by the cabinet chiefs were only temporarily stabilized and did not give a clear answer. The generals of the towns are actually waiting for Zhao Yu's arrival.
In fact, they are also hesitating.
Like Ma Ke, when he is afraid of Zhao Yu in mind's eye, he is actually afraid of losing his military power. Now the troubled times are approaching, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it. There are soldiers who are the king of grass heads.
If you go to the military power, they are useless.
Tangled.
After that, the master of Marco began to lobby.
This person is indeed a bronze tooth with iron teeth. With a three-inch tongue, he is moved with emotion and reason, but he has said all the soldiers of the towns.
Zhao Yu spent two days in the Mountain and Sea Trial, and all the towns in eastern Liaoning arrived.
Include five or six people including Wu Sangui and Li Fuming.
We met in the main hall of Ma Ke Mansion.
Not only these officers, but also Hong Chengchou arrived.
The Battle of Jinzhou has been over for more than a month. As the Governor of Liaodong, Hong Chengchou also had a lot of trivial matters to deal with after the war.
This time, Hong Chengchou has finished dealing with military affairs, arranged properly, and is about to return to the capital to return to life.
So they came together.
In the hall, Hong Chengchou has the highest status. He takes the top position as the guest. Marco is on his left and Zhao Yu is on the right hand. The rest are listed separately.
There are a group of people waiting in this hall. Zhao Yu has the lowest official position. He is only a general, and he is still under the deputy commander. But he represents the emperor, the emperor, so he sits on the right.
First of all, there is nothing to tell. Zhao Yu and these people have only one side, at most two or three sides. However, after retelling the past, Zhao Yu took out the imperial decree.
As soon as the imperial decree came out, Hong Chengchou did not dare to sit down.
Zhao Yu then pronounced the imperial edict.
It's also simple. It was the emperor's decree that the towns in eastern Liaoning should be divided into 50,000 elite soldiers, and they will be returned to the Crown Prince to join the Central Plains to suppress the rebels.
The decree has been read out.
The atmosphere in the hall became dull.
Zhao Yu drank a bowl of tea in one sip. After all the soldiers recollected for a while, then he said: "Now that you know what you want, I won't say more. Within three days, 50,000 Soldiers and horses must gather in the Mountain and Sea Trial."
This matter has nothing to do with Hong Chengchou. He does not speak, but smiles with his beard, as if he hadn't heard it.
The rest of the soldiers have their faces different.
After a while, Wu Sangui said: "Good teacher Zhao Can know that although Tatar is defeated, it has not completely declined. It is not difficult to pull up 350,000 troops about a year. In addition, the Mongolian tribes are not very honest. If the army is transferred away, if Tatar comes back, the Mongolian ministries will be restless, and the eastern part of Liaodong will be in danger!"
As soon as this statement came out, it won the approval of two or three people.
There are only six or seven total soldiers here, that is to say, half of them are unwilling to hand over soldiers and horses.
Zhao Yu sees clearly, what Tatar, what Mongolia tribes, these are all excuses. Liaodong has 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if 50,000 are transferred, it is also 50,000.
Before the Battle of Jinzhou, Tatar's top executives were almost wiped out. The snakes had no heads and scattered sand. The interior was bound to be chaotic for a period of time. Even if there are one or two capable people, the internal rectification is required, one or two years are still needed.
As for the Mongolian tribes, huh, the battle of Jinzhou is a shock, who dares to move?
Don't dare to move at least for a short time.
Zhao Yu listened, but didn’t answer right away. He only glanced at the commanders: "Sir Commander, all of you think so?"
Looking at Zhao Yu, his face was expressionless. , Everyone's heart trembled slightly, and no one dared to speak for a while.
Let go of the imperial decree gently, Zhao Yu indifferently said: "I don’t care about Tatar or the Mongolian tribes. The emperor’s imperial decree is here. Who dares not respect it is to resist the decree."
A faint killing intent flooded the hall, and some people who were shocked turned pale.
Then looked towards Hong Chengchou: "The Governor is here too. I dare to ask the Governor, what is the crime of resisting the decree and disrespect?"
Hong Chengchou laughed: "I have resigned, no Go back to the Governor. But resisting the decree and disrespect is a serious sin, and it should be cut."
Zhao Yu nodded, his eyes re-scanned: "The Governor is a learned man. What he says must conform to the Great Ming law. Everyone, order the transfer of troops."
Wu Sangui's expression changed, and suddenly stood up, cup one fist in the other hand said: "The transfer of troops is a matter of great importance. You must return to the army, fine. Only after careful discussion can a conclusion be reached."
then said: "Governor, he will retire at the end."
He was with him, and two of them got up and also cup one fist in the other hand retires.
Zhao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly: "If you don't deploy soldiers today, no one will ever want to get out of this hall!" It was smashed.
The three of Wu Sangui trembled all over, and they were afraid to let go of their raised feet!
But I only feel a killing intent covering my heart, dare to step down, and I will die on the spot in the next instant!
Everyone's complexion changed suddenly after logging in.
Hong Chengchou was surprised. He never thought that Zhao Yu was so tough. As for the other three including Ma Ke and Li Fuming, their faces are a bit ugly.
They are all persuaded by the master, and they plan to take refuge in Crown Prince, but they don't want to be forced.
While Wu Sangui and three of them, their complexions were all blue and white, and they were shaking like a sieve.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Sangui slowly turned around, with a black face: "General Zhao Shen is really majestic!"
"Don't dare to be it." Zhao Yu smiled. : "It's not my prestige. It's some people who treat Great Ming's army as their own."
Wu Sangui's face twitched, and then quibbled: "If the generals don't let me leave , How to transfer troops here?"
Zhao Yu sneered: "When you come, you will have hundreds of people with you. You only need to find a close general and go back to send the order. Just keep it here. Stay, if the soldiers do not come, you can't go."
Zhao Yu's gaze, like two knives, suddenly swept across the necks of the three people, and the three people who only swept had goose bumps all over their bodies. Risking, my heart is chilling.
Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "Elder brother, why do you need to go when you just came? Ma Zongbing, so many colleagues, where is the drink for the banquet?"
A ladder is up to let people borrow the donkey from the slope.
Zhao Yu hearing this, slightly nodded, took a killing intent. Wu Sangui and the others were just relaxed, and quickly sat down, bowing his head without saying a word.
Ma Ke was stunned, and quickly said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the Governor is right. I am negligent. Come on, have a banquet!"
Eat and drink without mentioning.
After the banquet, Hong Chengchou went to rest. This matter, after all, has nothing to do with him. The remaining soldiers were still sitting in the hall, and none of them dared to leave.
Zhao Yu is there, and it seems that the eyes are closed to keep one's mind. But in reality, the senses have been locking this army soldier, making him feel like sitting on pins and needles, like a awn on his back.
Before the banquet, under Zhao Yu's compulsion, these generals had no choice but to call in the pros and cons, and in front of Zhao Yu, gave the order to transfer troops.
Don't dare to discount, after all, in front of Zhao Yu, where would you dare to mess around?
If you are secretly, even if you are willing to transfer troops, you are afraid that the old, weak and sick will come. But Zhao Yu stared, they dare not. All the orders were to mobilize elite soldiers.
The soldiers and horses of the towns in eastern Liaoning are far and near from Mountain and Sea Trial. Nearest, you can arrive in the same day. It will take a day or two to go far, and you have to march in a hurry.
For the next two days, Zhao Yu and some generals ate and drank in this hall. Even sleep, sleep well. Even if it is Gong, there must be someone to accompany him, and those who accompany him are all from the one hundred cavalry that Zhao Yu brought, and there are often five people who accompany each other, and they can't run even if they want to run.
Two days have passed.
Zhao Yu is still in great spirits, and the rest of the soldiers are all haggard.
One aspect is diet and sleep, which is very unusual and some can't stand it. The second is fear. In front of someone like Zhao Yu, who knew he would take up trouble and beat him to death with a punch?
I heard a report from outside the hall, saying that the soldiers and horses are fully assembled.
The generals in the hall are finally relaxed.
The way they look at Zhao Yu's eyes is very different. This is not a pure martial artist, only knows how to fight and kill. They are also decisive and wise people.
Zhao Yu called to Chief Zhang: "Have you got all the provisions?"
In the past few days, Chief Zhang is busy with provisioning. The so-called provisions go ahead before soldiers and horses, 50,000 troops, is not a small number. If the provision is not ready, saying that if you fight a war, you will fall apart.
Commander Zhang respectfully said: "If you return to the general, you will be ready."
In terms of provisioning, the general soldiers of all towns in Liaodong are responsible for half a month. The rest are the responsibility of the Imperial Court and Crown Prince.
Zhao Yu nodded got up: "Okay."
Then said to Wu Sangui and other general soldiers: "The army is here, please come with me to take a look."
Wu Sangui and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and both got up, but felt a little on the verge of collapse.
Zhao Yu didn't care about them, he was in the lead, and he went all the way out of the military headquarters, mounted their horses separately, and arrived on the school grounds.
Mountain and Sea Trial is the first under the heavens Xiongguan at this time, just like the ancient Hulao and Hangu. It is completely a military town. Among them, the school grounds are quite large and can fit 50,000 people.
Yuyun has more than 10,000 people, boundless. These 50,000 people gathered together, shoulder to shoulder, like a Hong Yun.
Ming is a fire morality, still red. Ming Army is a cloud of fire.
