Chapter 227: Give Him a Chance
Huang Qiong frowned and weighed it repeatedly, but finally felt that it was okay to use Zhao, which was more reliable than the generals of the Tiger Prison. Thinking of this, he asked the fellow acquaintance who had been following him to immediately go and find Zhao Wuxian. And hearing that the British king had finally handed it over to him and could get rid of the embarrassing errand for the time being, this fellow acquaintance didn't say a word and ran away.
It's just that what made him depressed was that before he ran down the city tower, he happened to meet Zhao Wuxian, who was in a hurry to find Huang Qiong, and walked a head bump. Seeing this guy's panicked posture, Zhao Wuxian thought that something had happened to this guy. It wasn't until he was dragged to the top of the city by this guy and saw Huang Qiong that he knew what was going on.
When Zhao Wuxian arrived, Huang Qiong waved his hand at this fellow acquaintance: "You go down first, I will talk about some things with Zhao Duwei here." Unless there is something important, no one is allowed to disturb them. Also, after a while, you will make an inventory of the existing grain, grass and materials in the Tiger Prison, and you will see it after the king and Zhao Duwei have finished talking. β
Huang Qiong's request made this fellow acquaintance disappear in front of Huang Qiong's eyes as if he had been amnestied. Looking at this guy's back, Huang Qiong shook her head. I really don't know how the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War think about it, and they actually put such a straw bag in such an important position. I'm not afraid to be stupid, and it's not unacceptable to be greedy, but it's really speechless for this guts.
Seeing Huang Qiong shaking his head at the back of that fellow intellectual, Zhao Wuxian didn't have the mind to think about how that guy had offended the British king. He took a step forward, bowed and gave a military salute and said, "Lord Wang, now that the rebel rangers have been found outside the pass, I am afraid that the main force of the enemy army is not far away." How to fight this battle, I hope the prince will make a decision as soon as possible. β
Hearing Zhao Wuxian's report, Huang Qiong did not answer him immediately. Instead, he held on to the battlements of the gate and looked at the mountains and mountains outside the pass, and said after a while: "You say how to fight, this battle will be fought." You say how to deploy, let's deploy it. In this battle, this king will hand over the Tiger Prison Pass and this king himself to you to be responsible. β
After the simple and straightforward opening remarks, Huang Qiong waved his hand to stop Zhao Wuxian, who wanted to say something: "The military order is like a mountain, it is definitely not child's play, since this king has given this order, he will definitely not go back." You shouldn't have so many worries, you should think more about how to fight this battle now. β
"From now on, you are the acting ruler of the Tiger Prison. The king has handed over the fortress, the king himself, and the three thousand garrisons in the city to you. This king personally makes this beheading envoy for you, and if you disobey the general's order and do not listen to the command, no matter the grade, the king will not be spared. It's okay, you don't have too many worries, just do your part. β
"If it is said that things such as reading books and doing articles are vassals and elegant things, it is indeed much worse than this king. But if it is said that the army is arranged, the city is firmly defended, and the charge is charged, it is not as good as one of the ten kings together. When it comes to the battlefield, it is better to fight in a dignified manner, and it is better for this king to be fine. Not to mention anything else, just that one-handed archery skill, this king is even more out of reach. β
"If it's not okay today, it's a big thing to miss today. This time, it is okay to take the first credit. But this king let you act as the commander of the Tiger Prison Pass, but it is not just because of the three arrows before. At present, the tiger is locked up in the generals, because Jiang Xin's morale has degenerated, not to mention, and he is afraid to do things, and it is really unusable now. β
"The battle is based on victory, victory is the first to win, and the spirit falls first before fighting, even if such a general is of high grade and his past exploits are fierce, this king will not use it. Now this king can trust the vision of the commander of Yu Du, and he will never recommend that kind of person who does nothing to this king. I believe in the king's own vision, and I believe that I didn't see the wrong person. β
"If there is any problem, this king will bear it for you. This king now has a word for you, and that is to let go of your hands and fight. Do what you need to do, do what you need. The battle is fought well, and the responsibility for defeat is the king's. You just have to calm down and do what you have to do. It's okay, I'll leave the Tiger Prison Pass to you. β
In terms of pulling people's wrists, Huang Qiong is indeed a little jerky. But that doesn't mean he really doesn't know anything about it. For those veterans who are more sleek and sophisticated, young generals like Zhao Wuxian think more about making contributions. For such a person, the benefits of promise are limited, and the most important thing is to give him a chance.
Give him the opportunity to climb up and give him the opportunity to make contributions. This is what these young generals, especially like Zhao Wuxian, have no family background to rely on. It is the greatest benefit of the generals who rely on themselves and fight from below. And although he didn't have much contact with this young military attachΓ©, he was too impressed by this person's steadiness and meticulousness.
Sure enough, after Huang Qiong's words, the irritated Zhao Wuxian's eyes turned red, and he bowed directly and said: "Please rest assured, the prince will never disappoint the prince's kindness." The Tiger Prison Pass is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is extremely steep, and the equipment for defending the city is also quite sophisticated. Moreover, after Jiang took office, he was nepotistic, mean, and unkind, and squeezed out the military attaches in the Tiger Prison Pass, which can be described as a loss of people's hearts. β
"These 3,000 elite soldiers in the Guannai can be of great use as long as they are slightly rectified. In addition, the prince himself was in charge, and the military attaches of the original garrison did not dare to make a mistake. Although the forces are at a disadvantage, as long as there are no internal problems and we hold on to the dangerous places, even if the rebels launch a full-scale offensive. β
But the last general believed that there would be no problem in supporting the arrival of the army under the command of Yudu. However, the general thought that it was better to get rid of Jiang Xin's henchmen as soon as possible. Leaving these people in Guanzhong, although they may not dare to openly rebel. However, if we use false rumors to confuse the public and sow discord, it will pose a greater threat to our army. The meaning of the last general is that it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. β
"It's just a pity that those old brothers didn't expect them to be so close to Jiang Xin in such a short period of time. He even did things like slaughtering his colleagues, acting for the tiger, and helping the evil. It's a pity, otherwise these people are all worthy of the task. Speaking of this, Zhao Wuxian sighed, very much because these old brothers were a little unworthy.
After listening to Zhao Wuxian's last words, Huang Qiong looked expressionless on the surface, but in her heart, she actually set off a wave slightly. This Zhao is okay, and his performance is even far better than he expected. But isn't this person's method a little vicious? Those so-called old brothers in his mouth, Huang Qiong naturally knows who they are.
It's nothing more than some old colleagues he met when he was in the army in Tiger Prison Pass. Of course, these people have no military merits and no family background support, even if they become officials, I am afraid that their level will not be high there. At the moment, I am afraid that it is quite good to be a school captain. Otherwise, it will not be pulled by Jiang Xin.
Those children of the family who are really old and sophisticated, even if Jiang Xin makes a big promise, he can't pull it. Although these people are not backbones, after all, they have served the imperial court for many years, and it can be said that they were pulled on the boat after being confused. Although these people have made some mistakes, for Zhao Wuxian, they should try their best to save them.
After all, it was his robe when he was in the army. Now that he wants to get rid of these people, is it true that these people are truly unforgivable? Or does Zhao Wuwu have other plans? Thinking of this, Huang Qiong looked at Zhao Wuxian, who had already recovered from the excitement brought by the initial entrustment, and looked at him with sincere eyes.
Thinking of his previous life, the famous saying that the fortress is the easiest to breach, and the place to be breached is the inside. After looking at Zhao Wuxian's frank but somewhat sad eyes, he finally said: "This king said that you can do what you think you should do." Do what is appropriate. You are now the supreme commander of the Tiger Prison Pass battlefield, and you don't need to ask for instructions on everything. β
Speaking of this, Huang Qiong walked up to Zhao Wuxian, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad, the bubbles on everyone's feet come out by themselves." The court treated them well, and even though their income was difficult at the moment, they never had any arrears of food. They are a fifth-grade military attachΓ©, which is almost equal to a fourth-rank prefect. β
"If a military attache makes meritorious contributions, the court will never be stingy with rewards when he is knighted. But in order to achieve quick success, they followed Jiang Xin to join the rebels, trying to exchange the blood of their colleagues for their own glory and wealth. They are to blame for all this, and no one else is to blame. If you don't kill them, how can you be worthy of those three strong men? β
"Also, those cannons on the city, you also expect too much. These cannons were cast in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and since they were moved to the Tiger Prison Pass, Feng Shui Yu Da has never been maintained, and I don't know if they can still be used. Just now, the same acquaintance also took out a bird's nest from it. Moreover, among the 3,000 soldiers in this tiger prison, none of them can operate cannons. β
"This king didn't know that the king of Guilin had cast such a sharp weapon, but he hadn't fired a single shot for more than a hundred years. The cannon chamber has even become a nest of birds and beasts, and there is not even a person who can handle the cannon, can you still hold down the coffin board? Jumping out of the mausoleum and scolding us descendants for being a loser? Even if there is no war in Tiger Prison for a hundred years, it is too much to not even have a drill. β
Huang Qiong's words fell, and Zhao Wuxian on the other side could only smile helplessly: "When the last general was in the Tiger Prison, although he had never seen these cannons fired, he had seen these cannons used when he was in the border army. According to the practice of the border army, whether these cannons are used this year or not, each cannon must be fired at the end of the year to test whether these sharp weapons for defending the city can still be used. β
"Every year, after the Ministry of War sends ** to the border army departments, it is also necessary to extract part of it to test the quality of the **. When these cannons were fired, the Admiral had seen them with his own eyes. At the end of the sound of ten miles, the city wall of the civil engineering cracked, is actually the first weapon to attack the city and defend the city. Why did the same sharp weapon become like this here at the Tiger Prison Pass? β
Obviously, Zhao Wuxian originally had high expectations for these cannons, which were used as weapons to defend the city. Now that I know that these cannons don't know if they can be used, the expression on my face is not ordinary disappointment. And at this moment, Huang Qiong doesn't know what to say, these cannons are so idle, of course, it has something to do with the peace of the mainland for more than 100 years. But this root is still from people.
It is out of those officials in the DPRK and China, and from the successive tiger prison commanders. Otherwise, although the Hujiaoguan garrison belongs to the guard system, it can be the same as the Tongguan garrison because of its important strategic location, and it originally belonged to the Privy Council and is now directly under the jurisdiction of the Dianqian Division. No matter how rotten it is, it won't come to such a point. Wen Tian Wuxi, maybe this is the biggest reason.
In fact, Huang Qiong also knew that although the garrison of Tiger Prison Pass was directly under the jurisdiction of the front division of the palace, the problem was located in a prosperous inland land and water area. I'm afraid that the garrison here will be very few on weekdays, except for the occasional suppression of the merchants who resist taxes. Comparatively speaking, there is more time to do things on weekdays.
After a long period of peace, it is not surprising that the garrison here is so slack. If it weren't for the regular rotation of the imperial court with the border army, I'm afraid that the three thousand elites in the Tiger Prison would have been rotten long ago. Just look at the casinos and brothels everywhere in the gate, there are not many people who can really hold on to such a gold pocket.
