Chapter 173: Kui Dong handed over power

Of course, there are no Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and others among these people. They are all already people with the title of duke, and they have led soldiers for many years. What's more, the army could be handed over at the beginning, and these things could be done there because of a few words. At this time, he was scolded by Zhu Youdong, and now Zhu Youdong's prestige in the army is getting higher and higher.

These people couldn't help but get up one after another, kneeling on the ground and not daring to come out. Zhu Youdong walked to Cheng Deyi's side again and said: "Since you think you are my descendants, you are the same person as me Zhu Youdong. Why don't you have the faith that I can be of the same mind as you? Do you need to huddle? What's the matter, are you guys trying to keep me out? ”

Cheng Deyi and the others didn't dare to say anything at this time, but muttered: "We didn't mean that." Seeing that Kuidong's people were kneeling one after another, Cheng Deyi and others also knelt down, lying on the ground motionless. Zhu Youdong didn't see it, and still said: "What do you mean by excluding me?" Are you going to set up a separate portal? ”

What is a separate portal? It sounds like setting up another door, and if it is popular, it is a rebellion. When Cheng Deyi and the others heard Zhu Youdong say that they were rebelling, they immediately panicked. Cheng Deyi said: "Hou Ye is not, we misheard the provocation of others and made mistakes, we don't want to be sorry for Hou Ye." ”

Zhu Youdong squatted in front of Cheng Deyi, helped Cheng Deyi up, and said, "According to your age, I should call you Cheng Deyi brother." According to friendship, I should call you a brother. But you don't trust me so much? Think about Brother Cheng Dequn, did he think about what he wanted to get at that time? I still remember that night in the south, no one thought that the Cheng Dequn brothers would die like that. ”

Where could Cheng Deyi still speak at this time, and kept saying in his mouth: "Master Hou, I was wrong, I was wrong." I shouldn't be confused, and I should care about my own little thing after listening to these bastard words. ”

Zhu Youdong let go of Cheng Deyi and looked at the others, all of whom were also lying on the ground and unable to speak. Zhu Youdong said to Kuidong's people again: "Do you know that my Ming Dynasty has an ancestral teaching?" Tell the harem not to interfere in politics, do you really think that by uniting one or two women, you can control the court? Do you know the end of the collusion between the minister and the harem? Did you know? ”

Kuidong's generals used to be mostly the remnants of the Dashun Army, and they were also born in the peasant army. I knew this there, and now when I see what Zhu Youdong said, I know how much mistake I made. And they all fell on their knees, and not one of them dared to raise their heads and speak.

At this time, Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, and Yuan Zong heard that Zhu Youdong had summoned a large number of generals, and the three of them did not know the situation, so they immediately came to Zhu Youdong to inquire about the situation.

As soon as he entered the door, he found that Zhu Youdong was angry in the lobby, and He Qi sat on the chair as if he was cramped. As soon as Li Laiheng entered the door, he happened to hear Zhu Youdong's words, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

No matter what happened here, Li Laiheng secretly said in his heart: "This is to take back the rights in my hands, it seems that I have to find a way to get out." ”

Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi also heard it, and when the three of them walked in, they found that there were kneeling generals in the wings on both sides. When Zhu Youdong saw the three of them coming in, he stopped scolding. Said directly to Zhao Shichao: "You tell He Qi who they are together." ”

Zhao Shichao stepped forward and said: "He Qi, the head of Chengdu, during the acting of the Chengdu prefect, teamed up with Yu Shi Pang Zhiyong. instigated Du Xue, Yang Guoyong, Long Haiyang, Wu Zongxiu and others to form a party and disrupt the army. In addition, there were five conspirators, trying to disrupt the army and cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Then he walked in front of He Qi and said, "Lord He, am I right?" There's something missing. At this time, Hodge still had the strength to speak. Seeing Zhao Shichao coming over, he suddenly trembled with fear.

Seeing this, Zhao Shichao had no choice but to say: "In view of the heinous crimes of He Qi and others, anyone who conspires with them will be killed." Du Xue and others followed the rebellion, and they were all eliminated and sent back to the local government for strict supervision. In addition, the generals of the Restoration Army, all those who have but participated, will all be handed over to the Metropolitan Governor's Office. ”

When everyone heard that they would be handed over to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, their hearts were immediately happy, as long as they were handed over to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, their lives would be saved. But now Zhu Youdong didn't speak, and everyone didn't dare to move.

Hearing Zhao Shichao's words, Li Laiheng and others also understood that someone had provoked infighting. Several people suddenly felt a little nervous in their hearts, looking at General Kui Dong who was kneeling on the side, and several people couldn't wait to go up and kick a few feet in hatred.

Due to the reorganization of the Kuidong army and the transfer of the Kuidong army, the leaders of the independent armies in Kuidong have been separated, and they have nothing to fight for. Now these participants are some generals who were promoted later in Kuidong, such as Wu Zhiqi, Wang Jiayu and others. They were all generals under Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and others before, and when Kuidong was rectified, they were also compiled into thousands of households.

These people used to have their own subordinates in Kuidong, but after being reorganized by the Restoration Army, they were divided into three forces with the Baoning generals who originally followed Zhu Youdong and the surrendered generals. Li Laiheng and the three of them were a little nervous when they saw that these people were implicated. In fact, in their own hearts, there are also some signs of forming a party, but it is not as obvious as the people below.

In fact, this is not to blame these people, when they were reorganized, no one cared about the deputy position that Zhu Youdong arranged for the army. But after a long time, everyone will understand. In today's army, the soldiers who have been brainwashed recognize themselves as Zhu Youdong and are loyal to Zhu Youdong.

On the contrary, these generals are just a senior official of the imperial court to the soldiers, and they are not loyal at all. This situation made these generals suddenly insecure. originally thought that the reorganization would be the same as usual, and the battalion number would be changed, but who knew that Zhu Youdong completely poached the soldiers. There were no loyal soldiers around the generals, and even the personal soldiers and guards were uniformly arranged, and these generals were immediately anxious.

So as soon as He Qi and others instigated, some people responded. But now they can't just lead the troops away, or mutiny. The current soldiers of the Restoration Army don't recognize you at all, and they recognize Zhu Youdong's military orders, so these generals have no choice but to join forces together, making it the same as a civilian-official party dispute.

Zhu Youdong saw Li Laiheng and others coming, and immediately signaled to Zhao Shichao. Then Zhao Shichao said to Wu Zhiqi and the others: "As for you, since you think you are the general of Kuidong, then leave it to Linguo Gong and them to deal with." ”

As soon as Li Laiheng came in and heard Zhu Youdong's words, he understood that Zhu Youdong wanted to take back the rights in the hands of these people. Now Zhao Shichao is even more blatant, handing over these people who participated in the party struggle to himself. Li Laiheng can't wait now, everyone thinks that he doesn't exist, and he is the dust in the corner that no one pays attention to, but Zhao Shichao even named him.

Since the reorganization, Li Laiheng has never led the army. said that he was in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, but he was a military general, and it was awkward for you to let him do civil affairs.

However, at that time, Zhu Youdong was his scheduled son-in-law, and if he didn't take the lead, who would support Zhu Youdong? There was no way, Li Laiheng had to grit his teeth and agree. Although Li Laiheng has no military power, he is a descendant of Li Zicheng's line, and he still has prestige in the Kuidong army. Now Zhu Youdong has handed over these people who engage in party disputes and cause civil strife to him to deal with.

Li Laiheng immediately understood in his heart that Zhu Youdong had already gained the heart of the army, and now he was going to rectify the generals. The soldiers in the army supported Zhu Youdong before, but the generals had their own thoughts. Especially those of them who have been reorganized from the whole army, even the people who Baoning followed Zhu Youdong to raise troops together, they all came out with Zhu Youdong, each with their own thoughts.

Now that he is going to prison the country, Zhu Youdong will definitely not allow such a situation to occur. It is necessary to make the generals who lead the army also fully loyal, so that Zhu Youdong will rest assured. It is also a warning to the upcoming generals of the Jin Dynasty, that is, the current Zhu Youdong is in charge of the country, but not Hongguang, Yongli, or Longwu in name only.

Zhu Youdong is a real supervisor of the country, and the army and political affairs are all under Zhu Youdong's control, and the military town at that time is absolutely not allowed to appear.

After Li Laiheng understood, he found that Zhao Shichao had been looking at him. Zhu Youdong didn't seem to move, just meditating on himself. Li Laiheng knew that this was Zhu Youdong waiting for himself to make a statement, saying that he would let him deal with it, but in fact, he was asking himself to take the initiative to hand over the rights in his hands.

This is not to deal with those Kuidong generals by himself at all, but to take this opportunity to let himself take the lead in handing over power. If he really directly punished those generals, it is estimated that these people will not live for a few days, and they will all be executed.

Li Laiheng saw that everyone was looking at him, and suddenly the entire lobby was quiet and terrifying. Li Laiheng seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat, and he suddenly regretted a little, why did he come to see this excitement. Those generals are looking for death directly, so why bother with them. In fact, even if Li Laiheng and the others don't come, Zhu Youdong will ask people to invite them.

Li Laiheng knows that he can't hide, and now he has no capital to resist, and the army is gone, and he still resists. Li Laiheng stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, and then knelt down directly to Zhu Youdong in the surprised eyes of everyone, and said: "The generals led the party to rebel against the army, trying to split the Ming Army, and sabotage the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty, which is an unforgivable crime. Please also ask the Marquis of Ping to judge, let the killing be scraped, and there will be nothing to say. ”

Everyone was stunned, what does Lee Lai Heng mean by this? He is the prince of the country, Zhu Youdong is the Hou Ye, he is the father-in-law, and Zhu Youdong is the son-in-law. Now he actually didn't punish these generals, and directly handed over the power of life and death to Zhu Youdong. Those Kuidong generals were very happy when they first heard that Li Laiheng would deal with them. finally picked up a life, Li Laiheng is an old superior, how can he not kill them.

Who knew that Li Laiheng didn't care about it directly, and didn't even say a word of advice or a word of pleading. Many people shouted, and Wu Zhiqi shouted: "Guogong, I'm Wu Zhiqi, you can't ignore me." Don't save me, I'll die. ”

Facing the shouts of these generals, Li Laiheng's face became more and more ugly. At this time, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun also understood and knew that this was Zhu Youdong's complete control of military power. Hearing that the Kuidong generals over there were still begging for mercy, Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi couldn't wait to go up and directly beat these people to death. Liu Tichun shouted loudly and said, "What is the noise?" You are also a general of the First Army, acting so absurdly, and begging for mercy with the face? ”

After speaking, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun also glanced at each other, and then knelt down to Zhu Youdong together and said: "Many Kuidong generals have violated the law of the country, and we will not escape the responsibility of the crime, please punish the Marquis of Ping." ”

In this way, not to mention that the generals of Kuidong did not dare to beg for mercy anymore, even many generals in Boryeong were also dumbfounded. These three people are not said to be the leaders of Kuidong's generals, but with their prestige, they are very important people in Kuidong. But now, they are all kneeling directly in front of Zhu Youdong, which is unusual.

Zhou Dazhu, who had been at the back of the lobby, Gou Xingwang, and Song Gaoju, also reacted at this time. Today's Zhu Youdong is no longer the Zhu Dashan who used to be able to eat in a pot. He is the Marquis of Pingyu, and he will soon be His Royal Highness the Prison State. I believe that it won't take long for him to ascend to the throne, and that is the Son of Heaven.
