Chapter 306: Seven Marshals and Thirty-six Generals
"Dong Shi is just following suit!"
At that moment, a voice of contempt came from outside the tent.
But half a month ago, Zhu Xieyuan, the supervisor who came to Beijing from Sichuan, arrived.
The overseer that the generals were looking forward to came all the way, and when he entered the tent, he was still wearing a red cloak behind him, and the sword hanging from his waist was chilling.
There was silence in the tent for a moment, and all the generals, including the three marshals above, stopped arguing with their tongues, turned around, and said in unison with their fists:
"See the ββ! of the Overseer"
"Have you planned the reserve of soldiers and horses and the route of the march?" Zhu Xieyuan walked on the way to his seat, and he was still a few steps away, so he asked in a hurry.
Yulin General Soldier Jiang Rang said:
"The Governor Division, the soldiers and horses reserves related to this battle, the marching map, and the military posts along the way have all been sorted out and completed by the last general, and they have been submitted to the case!"
"Okay, you're doing a good job."
Zhu Xieyuan instructed the generals of the Supervisory Battalion to hang the map behind him, sit on his seat, and wrap the sword of Shang Fang given by the Emperor of the Apocalypse in yellow satin and place it on a table more than a zhang long behind him.
After doing this, as if he remembered something, he looked up and asked:
"What's this big man's name?"
Jiang Rang was looking up and down, and when he saw Shang Fang's sword, he was first breathed, and when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Jiang Rang, the last general of Yulin Town, is willing to die for the superintendent!" β
"The last general is willing to die for the overseerββ!"
The generals shouted in unison.
Zhu Xieyuan was stunned for a moment, then motioned to the generals to sit down, and arched his hand:
"Let me introduce myself first, this governor Zhu Xieyuan, who was previously the governor of Sichuan, was the supervisor of this customs this time thanks to His Majesty's love."
"Please also give us your advice and build a great achievement!"
After the generals responded to each other, they began to talk about you and me again, Zhu Xieyuan waited for a while, and waited for their voices to fall before continuing:
"Jiang Dashuai Bendu already knows, let's start with this handsome, let's first make a brief self-introduction and get familiar with each other."
"After all, it's all about helping each other and getting rid of old suspicions."
was pointed out to this person, but he was actually a "Jiang Dashuai".
He stood up and said:
"The last general Jiang Bi, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, a member of Yulin Weiren, was born in the martial arts."
Zhu Xieyuan was a little surprised that the first two marshals were all children of the Jiang family, but he didn't say anything, and raised his hand to continue.
The third man got up, clasped his fists and said:
"The last general Zhang Wanbang, the chief military officer of Datong, Yang and Weiren."
"Grandfather Zhang Xun, who served as Jiajing, Longqing Erchaoyang, and Wei Commander, Zuo Du Governor, was awarded by the imperial court for his military exploits after his death.
When he said this, Yu's generals were whispering, and Zhang Wanbang's face was also filled with a dazzling smile, obviously, he was very proud to have such a background.
Zhu Xieyuan nodded and looked at the next one.
This general looked much stronger than the previous three, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his hands were covered with scars from knife wounds, and he looked very fierce.
He took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Wang Wei, the general of Jizhou, is a native of Tongzhou, a poor peasant in his ancestors, his parents died since he was a child, and his family is surrounded by four walls, and he has nothing!" β
After saying that, he just stood back.
He looked diametrically opposed to everyone who reported to his family and hated to read out all the exploits of his ancestors and himself, but he attracted Zhu Xieyuan's attention.
Now, there are very few generals who tell the truth like this.
The ancestors were poor peasants, and their parents died when they were young, this kind of background caused the generals to laugh, but Zhu Xieyuan took a deep look at this general soldier.
With such a background, he is now the chief soldier of Jizhou, but this also proves that this Wang Wei really relied on himself.
Zhu Xieyuan glanced at it and found that this Wang Wei's eyes were shining, as if he had a fine light, and between his steps, he was steady and powerful.
All of a sudden, I admired him in my heart.
was about to ask something, but it was Jiang Rang, the chief soldier of Yulin, who saw that Zhu Xieyuan kept going to see that Wang Wei, and he was unhappy, so he interjected on the side and said:
"Supervisor, this Wang Wei couldn't have been the chief soldier."
"Last year, he repaired the shrine for Wei Zhongxian in Jizhou, and it is said that he also went to Beijing to visit the important ministers of the military aircraft, so he was promoted."
"He's not a good guy and can do anything."
When Zhu Xieyuan heard this, his impression of Wang Wei was indeed reduced a lot, he was born as a scribe, and in any case, he was not against the eunuchs.
But he didn't say anything, and raised his hand to continue.
Jiang Rang and Jiang Bi glanced at each other, returned to the queue and kept sneering, sneering at Wang Wei even more, and sneering at him in a low voice.
One person in the back row heard the news and came out of the ranks.
This is a veteran in his forties, he tried to straighten up as much as possible, and said:
"The last general is like smoke, and the skin is a man."
"Successively served as a guerrilla general in Ningxia Town, a general in Pingluo, etc., and in the spring of the twentieth year of Wanli, he made meritorious contributions to quelling Liu Dongyang's mutiny and was promoted to the general army of Ningxia."
A thin general came out of the ranks, clenched his fists and said:
"The last general, Guo Qin, was born at the beginning, and then abandoned. Cheng Zuyin, the former official Guyuan guerrilla, the division of the general army of the Association, the forty-seventh year of Wanli recorded the previous merits, into the Guyuan General Officer. β
After Guo Qin finished speaking, another general followed closely behind, bowing his head and saying:
"The last general Jiang Shuang, the ancestor Jiang Han, was born in the world, and in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, he entered the Gansu General Military Officer and assisted in the training of the regiment."
Zhu Xieyuan suddenly asked:
"You three..."
Jiang Rang, the chief soldier of Yulin, replied with a smile: "Brother ..., Supervisor, Jiang Bi is the second brother of the last general, and Jiang Shuang is the third general of the last general, from the same door." β
"I see, the Jiang family is really the Shanxi pillar of the imperial court."
In addition to the two towns of Liaodong and Shanxi, which were not counted this time, the chief military officers of the remaining seven important towns on the nine sides, only Jiang's Jiangmen occupied three, among which there were more dangerous places such as Yulin and Xuanfu.
Zhu Xieyuan was playing with them on his face, but he was vigilant in his heart.
This phenomenon has to be prevented by the imperial court, and it is necessary to present this situation to the saint and deal with the Yulin Jiang family as soon as possible.
After the chief military officer of the Nine Sides reported to his home, all the remaining generals came out one by one, but Zhu Xieyuan at this time obviously didn't have so much energy to listen carefully.
ββ¦β¦β
"The last general, You Shiwei, Yulin Weiren, in the first year of the Apocalypse, accumulated meritorious officials to the Jianchang Battalion in Yulin Town, and in March of the second year of the Apocalypse, he was transferred to guard the wall road."
"The last general Hou Shilu, Yulin Weiren, was born in the world, and now he is tired of being the deputy chief soldier of Liangzhou."
"The last general Li Changling, the word Yuchuan, the town of Fanwei, was born in the world, and now he is tired of being a general on the wall of the road, guarding the Chang camp."
"The last general Qu Jiazhen, father Qu Shifang, grandfather Qu Feng, great-grandfather Qu Liang, and great-grandfather Qu Jin. Originally from Hefei, Anhui Province, he was born in the world, and is now a general of Guangchang Road in Datong Town, assisting in the defense of Peach Blossom Fort. β

Not all levels of generals can go to the superintendent's tent to discuss matters, except for the chief soldiers of the seven border towns, the lowest rank of general is also a general.
After reporting to his family, Zhu Xieyuan had a certain understanding of the 36 major generals in front of him, and also asked them to express their opinions and talk freely about tactics.
The thirty-six generals present are not of low rank, and after they go out, they are at least the ones who lead the first army, if it weren't for Zhu Xieyuan coming, ordinary people are afraid that it will be really difficult to subdue.
Zhu Xieyuan understood that although he had sufficient experience in fighting in the southwest, after all, he had never been to Liaodong and the grasslands, was not familiar with the local topography and customs, and had never fought against the Jurchens and Mongols.
And the thirty-six generals in front of him are either from the world's top positions and have been influenced by the famous generals of their ancestors since they were children, or they are fierce generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have been promoted with military exploits.
Among them, there are many veterans such as Xiao Ruxun, the general soldier of Ningxia, who has been stationed at the border all the year round and has rich experience in fighting against the Mongols.
For such an important war, Zhu Xieyuan had to make several plans in advance and have some understanding of the tactics of the Jurchens and Mongols in order to be more handy.
It seems that we really need to learn from them appropriately.
