Chapter 751: 'Suppression of Rebellion'

Zhao Hao was in a hurry and quickly figured out what was going on. It turned out that the mountain brigade was very dissatisfied with the inclusion of them in the reserve army, thinking that it was looking down on them as slang soldiers, so they asked Zhang Shijie to fight and asked to be the main attacker. The main attack and assist were all arranged by the emperor, Zhang Shijie didn't dare to call the shots, so he said a few perfunctory words, saying that he would make a decision after discussing with His Majesty. According to common sense, the cardinal commander said that reconsideration is an indirect refusal, but these slang soldiers have a straightforward personality and don't have so many 'hearts', so they don't understand the meaning of the words, so they ask every day.

Zhang Shijie has been in the court for so many years, of course, he knows that the mountain brigade is the son of the emperor's father-in-law, and the future imperial concubine is among them. And the casualties of the troops who serve as the main attack are often the largest, so not only can they not explain, but even the little emperor can't explain, and if he hurts the princess, it is even more of a loss of his head. But telling the emperor about this matter is tantamount to giving him a problem, purely to find a scolding. So after that, he avoided it, and hid out, thinking that if they could not find anyone, he would give up, and he would be freed when the war began.

Who knows that the slang soldiers are not only straight, but also a tendon, and they are anxious when they can't find anyone, and today Li Sanniang led the whole army to ask for battle in front of the commander's tent, saying that he would not leave if he did not get an answer. Zhang Shijie had already hidden, and the highest position was Ni Liang, but his stupid mouth was also notoriously stupid, and he was defeated in three or two sentences after going up. And in the face of the future imperial concubine, she can't enforce military law, she can't use her power to oppress people, and she doesn't dare to beat and scold, but it's not a matter for a group of people to stand and demonstrate quietly in front of the handsome tent, and there is no way to think about it, so the emperor can only take care of his daughter-in-law.

Zhao Yu also had a headache when he heard this, but the slick guys of the gang of thieves all hid, and let Ni Liang, the foolish person, respond to it, obviously seeing his weakness under the knife. However, this matter is difficult to deal with, and according to the military law, the behavior of the mountain brigade is definitely enough to commit the following crimes, and the iron law of 'respecting the class' is violated, and those who are the leaders of this article alone should be beheaded. But the matter involved the emperor's family affairs, and the future imperial concubine was killed, who dared to give this order. Even if it is impartial law enforcement, the emperor can let it go, and the queen mother can't pass it!

Zhao Yu thought about it, no one could carry this pot, and he had to come forward himself. But what about yourself? If Xuesun Bin kills him as an example, it will be enough to deter the three armies for at least 20 years, but the sequelae are also very great, and the hat of ingratitude cannot be taken off, and if it is not done well, it will provoke slang; If you don't punish it, you are bending the law for personal gain, and it is difficult to convince the public, how will you control it in the future? It is equivalent to smashing the brand of fairness and honesty that he has worked hard for many years.

"Let's go, it's troublesome!" Zhao Yu thought about how to do it Anyway, it's not a problem for so many people to stand at the door of the handsome tent, go and improvise, so he changed into a military uniform and walked out of the palace gate, Chen Dun led a team of guards to follow, Ni Liang hesitated and chased after him.

The tent is set up in the southern suburbs of Lin'an City, under the Ciyun Ridge, in the former site of the Jingming Courtyard, and the distance from the palace is not too far, riding a horse is only two quarters of an hour, tens of thousands of troops are camped in the mountains, stationed everywhere. When Zhao Yu entered the walled gate, he saw that there was a post in three steps and a post in the camp, and a sentry in five steps, and the first brigade of the guard army that served as the guard of the Chinese army was fully armed as if facing a great enemy. Seeing that the emperor was there in person, Tian Zhong personally brought a battalion of soldiers to escort him.

"Why are you so nervous?" Zhao Yu frowned and asked Tian Zhong.

"Your Majesty, more than 3,000 people of the mountain brigade broke into the Chinese army this morning with weapons, until the commander wanted to see the cardinal, and the cardinal went to the north of the city to explore the city early in the morning, and has not yet returned. The subordinates were worried about the change, so they ordered the vigilance to be strengthened. Tian Zhong replied.

"Well, that's good!" Zhao Yu nodded and asked, "What's the situation inside?" ”

"Your Majesty, after the mountain brigade entered the gate, it assembled in front of the hall, and after learning that the cardinal commander was not there, he stood in line and stood quietly, and there was no excessive action, and his subordinates saw that it was intended to force the palace." Tian Zhong replied.

"They're just standing!" Zhao Hao saw rows of mountain brigade soldiers standing in the small square in front of Jingming Courtyard across the gate, and he turned his face and asked.

"Your Majesty, I have been like this since I entered, I have never moved, I have not eaten or drunk!" Tian Zhong replied.

"Well, lift the alert, and you don't all have to follow." Zhao Yu waved his hand.

"Lift the alert?! Your Majesty, if you ...... in case," Tian Zhong was stunned for a moment.

"Look at the people who are not wearing armor and not equipped with bows, where they seem to be rebelling, it is clearly a simple invitation to fight, but it is your nervous and fully armed preparations, if you don't get it right, you will go off the gun, and you have to make something if you have nothing to do!" Zhao Yu pointed at Ni Liang and Tian Zhong with a horsewhip, and said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"What Your Majesty said is true, but after all, they still have spears in their hands, and they can't hurt people......" Tian Zhong saw that this was indeed the case, but he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

"Stop talking nonsense, disband!" At this time, Ni Liang glanced at Tian Zhong and said.

"Yes, summon the ministries, contact alert!" Although Tian Zhong didn't quite understand, he still obeyed the order and lifted the alert.

"Well, tell your fire army to make more meals, and make them richer, and the account will be on me!" Zhao Hao commanded again.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Tian Zhong was stunned, the little emperor still has to take care of the food!

"They didn't go hungry after standing all day! By the way, send some water in first. Zhao Hao turned his head and said, "Just let Ni Liang and Chen Dun accompany me in, and you don't have to go over." ”

"Do as Your Majesty orders, there is nothing to do!" Tian Zhong looked at Ni Liang again, and he said with a wink.

Zhao Yuping retreated from the crowd, drove the horse to Yuanmen, dismounted according to the rules, handed over to the guards, and asked them to wait on the spot. Ni Liang and Chen Dun guarded the little emperor on the left and right, and walked towards Shuaitang with their heads held high.

"Your Majesty has arrived, salute!" The sentry on duty in front of the handsome hall stood up and saluted, and Zhao Yu and the three of them returned the salute and continued to move forward.

"Stand upright, salute!" Zhao Hao walked to the front of the mountain brigade queue, and the commander Wu Qin gave a loud order. But seeing thousands of people holding spears to their chests in their hands, he quickly turned to one hand and raised his right arm to salute, which made him once again appreciate the demeanor of guns like forests and people like dragons.

"Put the gun down, take a break!" After Zhao Yu returned the salute, he glanced at the queue and gave the order.

The 3,000 spears made a loud noise at the same time, and the soldiers turned to a solemn posture with their guns in their arms, and then made a pause movement, and the whole process was as uniform as the clouds flowed, and it was evident that they were well-trained. And Zhao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, they obeyed their orders, which showed that they still recognized themselves as commanders and emperors, and had no intention of rebelling.

The mountain brigade can be said to be a strong force with a lot of characteristics in the Xing Dynasty, they are all formed by slang people from the command to the bottom, with Li Yiren's nephew as the commander, but the actual controller is Li Sanniang. And this team is still the only unit in the forbidden army sequence that uses cold weapons as the main combat weapon, they still wear old military uniforms, wear leather armor during the war, carry bows and crossbows, hold spears, carry four-foot long knives, and fight on foot.

The spear held by this class is very distinctive, with Zhao Yu looking at it and the spear used by the famous Guangxi 'white pole soldier' in the Ming Dynasty in later generations, with the tough hardwood produced locally as the handle, the tip of the gun is equipped with a hook with a blade resembles a hook sickle, and the gun has an iron ring on the gun. When fighting, the hook can be cut and pulled, the ring can be used as a hammer weapon, and if necessary, dozens of spears can be connected with hooks and rings, which can be used as a tool to climb the mountain and climb the wall.

After forming an army, they were stationed in Daning Village, rather than in the city, to defend the north bank of Qiongzhou and suppress the chaos. It is precisely because of this that the mountain brigade has become the most mysterious unit of the Qiongzhou army, coupled with its special identity, everyone regards them as the little emperor's guards, no one dares to send errands, and Zhao Yu will not find trouble to provoke them. Therefore, except for going to the new military camp for rotation training and participating in routine school reviews, he rarely shows up in the outside world, but his military salary and salary have never been in arrears.

Zhao Hao had no choice but to come this time, but the two sides had never communicated, and he was actually very worried that the mountain brigade would not obey his orders or act excessively. But nothing embarrassing happened to him after a try, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still tightened his face, walked from the head of the team to the back of the line, and returned to the front of the line, sweeping the generals in the front row with a sharp gaze. I don't know if it was because of his 'prestige' or because of his own identity, their eyes were a little flustered, and their wheezing voices were also urgent.

"Aren't you tired after standing all day?" Seeing this, Zhao Yu let go of most of his heart, and asked with a slightly slower expression.

"......" but there was no response in the queue, but stared at each other and didn't know how to answer.

"Stand upright, sit down!" Zhao Yu understood, they couldn't understand when he spoke well, and he gave an order with a plain face.

'Smack! ’

'Poof! The army put down their spears, sat on the ground with their butts, and stood for more than a long time, no matter how good the military posture was, they couldn't stand it, and what surprised Zhao Yu was that none of them fainted, especially a team of female soldiers in the queue was no exception, which showed that their quality was difficult for all members of the forbidden army to do in addition to their own personal guard brigade.

"Come and sit!" Zhao Yu also sat down on the ground, beckoned Wu Qin and Li Sanniang to sit over.

"Here, drink some water!" At this time, Tian Zhong sent someone to send water in, so many people drank of course it can't be a teapot or a tea bowl, but it is served in a wooden barrel, and a scoop for scooping water is attached.

"Your Majesty, you are not thirsty for your humble duties!" Wu Qin licked his lips and said.

"Aren't you thirsty either?" Zhao Yu looked at Li Sanniang and asked softly, while looking up and down at this future daughter-in-law who she hadn't seen for many years. Now that she has grown taller, she seems to have grown up, much more beautiful than the black little girl back then, and she has another charm when she wears a military uniform, but if she doesn't know in advance, she will definitely not recognize it.

"Your Majesty......" Li Sanniang didn't dare to look directly at the little emperor's gaze, and called softly, Your Majesty shook his head and said.

"Oh, I'm thirsty." Zhao Yu looked at their appearance one by one, their lips were chapped, where was they not thirsty, they were obviously about to collapse, and they refused to drink water because they were afraid that they had drugged them. He smiled and scooped half a scoop of water from the bucket and drank it all, and shook it down intentionally or unintentionally to show that he had indeed drunk it.

"Aren't you thirsty?" Zhao Yu twisted his face and said to Ni Liang and Chen Dun who were standing behind him.

"Oh, Your Majesty mentioned it, and my subordinates are indeed thirsty." Chen Dun was a ghost, how could he not hear the meaning of the little emperor's words, replied with a smile, dragged Ni Liang, who was still stunned, to the bucket next to the queue, and drank the water in each bucket.

"Your Majesty, ...... humble position" Wu Qin blushed when he saw this, his neck stammered, and he couldn't say why.

"Alas!" Li Sanniang sighed lightly, reached out and scooped up half a scoop of water and drank it all in one gulp, handed the scoop to Wu Qin, who also quickly scooped up the water and poured it into his stomach. The other slang soldiers, too, were thirsty and got up to drink from the buckets, but even then they were still in good order and there was no confusion at all.

"Oh, you've trained your soldiers very well!" Zhao Yu smiled when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, this is a humble duty!" Wu Qin bowed his hand and saluted.

"Yes, you can train these slang soldiers into a strong team, it seems that you also put your heart into it!" Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is all the credit of the young master, but I dare not accept it." Wu Qin looked at Li Sanniang and replied.

"Huh, huh? I didn't expect you to have this ability. Zhao Yu looked at Li Sanniang, who had been hanging her head silently.

"I ...... Humble duties are just like cats and tigers, and they are not as good as Your Majesty. Li Sanniang hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to call herself, and after thinking about it, she still couldn't say it.

"Your Majesty, the young master has been taught by famous Confucians since he was a child, and he also entered the new army to study under a pseudonym. Of course, Wu Qin knew the relationship between the two, but he was afraid that His Majesty would misunderstand, so he hurriedly added.

"Your Majesty, the meal is ready!" At this time, Tian Zhong came over and said.

"Send it up, I'll be eating here!" Zhao Yu nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?" Wu Qin turned around a little after hearing this, and asked Chen Dundao softly.

"Your Majesty knew that you had stood in front of the Shuai Hall for a day and that the water and rice had not entered, so he asked the Tian Commander to prepare a meal for you, so that the soldiers would not starve." Chen Dun said the reason, and sneered twice, "But not only do you not appreciate it, but you are also worried about poisoning in the water, Your Majesty treats people sincerely, but you have the heart of a villain, if it is me...... Hey! ”

"Shut up, Commander Wu is just eager to fight, so he is just ambitious!" Zhao Yu glared at Chen Dun and said.

"Your Majesty, you are guilty of lowly duties!" At this time, Li Sanniang got up and gave a salute to plead guilty.

"Oh, what are you guilty of?" Zhao Yu was 'surprised' and said.

"Your Majesty, if you lead the army to break through the gate and demonstrate in front of the tent, you have already violated the laws of the army, and please punish your majesty!" Li Sanniang said.

"What crime should I be guilty of knowing that I violated military regulations, but I did it?" Zhao Yu looked at Li Sanniang and said slowly. The heart said that this little lady's idea is correct enough, if she can't cure him now, and she will lose her temper at every turn in the future, then it will be okay.

"Your Majesty, the crime should be added to the degree!" Li Sanniang gritted her teeth and said with tears, but she felt aggrieved in her heart, who is she doing this for? Don't you want to embarrass you and let others look down on you for being a 'barbarian'......
