Chapter 1142: Song Quan's Plan
"Hmph, it's a nest of snakes and rats." Yang Chendong said angrily.
"Young master, the Zhong family is still a businessman in the Beiming Jingshi, and over the years, they have taken a lot of goods from our Ministry of Commerce and made a lot of money. Do you think you should deal with his family? So that others can know what kind of fate it will be if you don't follow the rules with our five-star army? Yang Er saw that the young master's anger had not yet dissipated, so he spoke in a persuasive way.
People say that it will not be a disaster for his family, wife and children, and Yang Chendong will naturally not talk about Zhong Cheng's family at will. But even if the twelve-year-old son is a bad seed, it is normal to get rid of it according to the rules.
As for the Zhong family, who are in business, I'm sorry, and they can be eliminated from the ranks of merchants in the future.
"This matter is written down first, after the capture of Trin City, there will still be a trial, and then let the people call the shots, if Zhong Chengzhen has no way to teach his son, it is better to eliminate such a father-son scourge as soon as possible." Yang Chendong didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of the words was not opposed, which is enough to explain everything.
The matter of dealing with Zhong Cheng will have to wait until the capture of Tring City, and the most important thing now is how to capture this city. According to the intelligence department, for the arrival of the Five-Star Army, the commander of the capital concentrated some of the nearby guards in the city of Tring, and with the original strength in the city, there are now nearly 100,000 troops in the Northern Ming Army, which is really a big force.
On the other hand, Yang Chendong here, there is only one army division with more than 8,000 elites, plus 20,000 C-level soldiers from North Korea, and more than 10,000 people from the Northern Ming Guards who came all the way to Guilong. Taken together, it's only 40,000 people.
With 40,000 against 100,000, it is still the main attack, which is basically impossible in the eyes of others, but in Yang Chendong's eyes, it is not the same thing at all. The reason why he led the 4th Army Division, instead of other cavalry armies, was to use it for siege, and now it seems that it was finally used.
"Inform the commander of the division to prepare for the siege, notify the other armies, and prepare for the auxiliary siege. Telegraphed to the 4th Division of the Sea and told them to listen to orders at any time and prepare to bombard Turin City. Yang Chendong issued the orders one after another, even if the troops are insufficient, the other party still has to defend it, it is impossible to solve the problem peacefully, so simply use the most powerful firearms, although in this way, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary casualties, but it is better than being defeated and the soldiers being killed.
Ling Daqiang, who received the order, was excited. Since entering the Liaodong region, he has been looking forward to the opportunity to show his talents. I learned from the telegraph office that both the First Division of the Cavalry of the World and the New Third Army had done a lot, and only his Fourth Army Division did nothing, and along the way it was to follow the Sixth Young Master and receive some cities occupied by Song Yong and the peace, which made him feel a little unbalanced.
Being able to follow the Sixth Young Master is just a show of his skills, but now that he has done nothing, it is impossible to say that he has no sense of grievance in his heart. He dreamed that he could give full play to it and show the strength of the Fourth Division.
I thought that Song Yong went to Terling City, and he might really not have a chance. It's good now, these Liaodong troops dared to kill Song Yong, who was in the status of peace talks, which also angered the sixth young master, and then it was their turn to behave
Waited.
"The whole division gathers, prepares for battle, and asks the four regiment commanders to come to me to report." After Ling Daqiang said this to the communicator, he immediately laughed and came to the sand table, brewing a plan for the attack.
......
Inside the city of Tring.
The commander made Song Quanzheng sit in the main hall with a majestic face.
On his side, there were both the commander Zhong Cheng and the commander Ye Ligang.
The commander of the command is a military general who is in the second grade, and he can achieve this position, Song Quan still has some ability, and from the fact that he has not moved in this position for seven years, it can be seen that he should still be an eight-sided exquisite character.
The Ming Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, especially some military generals who held heavy power, which was easily suspicious of the emperor. Facts have also proved that if it were not for the suspicion of the emperor and the jealousy of Wenchen, there would not have been the demise of the Ming Dynasty in the end.
As a commander with real power and hundreds of thousands of troops, Song Quan was able to do it for seven years, which is enough to show that he is very good at personal contacts, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have been crushed to death by the impeachment of those civil ministers.
And it was precisely because of this that when he heard that Song Yong, the peace envoy of the Five Star Army, had died at the gate of the city, his face instantly darkened.
His position is destined not to surrender to Yang Chendong, unless there is an order from the Emperor of the Northern Ming Dynasty, otherwise he really did this, and none of his family members in the Northern Ming Jingshi will survive. But he didn't make this decision completely voluntarily.
As a general with military power in his hands, Song Quan once had an in-depth understanding of the Five-Star Army, and because of this, he knew very well in his heart that the other party was powerful. Such an enemy is not something that you can contend with at all.
couldn't surrender, and he couldn't fight, so Song Quan made the decision to kill himself and save Jingshi's family. So in the face of Song Yong's peace, all he could do was to drive away the other party, wait for Yang Chendong to fight, and when the time was right, he committed suicide, and his own life could be exchanged for the safety of the whole family, or the safety of the people in the city, no matter how you look at it, it is worth it.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Cheng was so bold that he forced Song Yong to kill because of greed for money, which formed a situation of endless death, and at that time, even if he died, the soldiers and civilians in the city would not feel good either.
This Zhong Cheng, doesn't he have a long brain, doesn't he know that once the Five-Star Army captures Turin City, no matter how much silver there is, it will be just to make a wedding dress for the other party? What is this kind of silver that cannot be taken at all, and is useless if it is taken?
It's just that it's too late to say anything. Song Yong is dead, the dead cannot be resurrected, what to do now is how to solve the current problem, so as to save more people with the minimum cost of death.
Glancing at Zhong Cheng with a murderous gaze, Song Quan opened his mouth and said, "General Zhong, Song Yong is dead, and the Five-Star Army is about to attack the city soon, so it's better for you to take the lead." ”
"Why?" Zhong Cheng, who was sitting there, had a somewhat unsightly face.
From the moment Song Yong died, he knew that things were going to be bad, he didn't expect that a person could risk his life for money, if he had known this, he would not have done such a thing if he was killed.
It's just that people are dead, and it's useless to think too much. Thinking that there were still 100,000 troops in the city, and the five-star army outside the city was not even 50,000, his courage grew again. But now, if the commander opens his mouth and let himself fight with the five-star army, isn't that tantamount to forcing himself to find death? He wouldn't be so stupid as to agree to it.
Everyone knows that it is indeed easy to make meritorious contributions to take the lead, but it is also very dangerous. Perhaps an aspiring general will grab this position. But as a person from the Zhong family in Beijing, he has a background that others can't compare, and he came to the Liaodong region just to mix qualifications, and he can do without such a great achievement. That's when I didn't think about it, I refused.
Ye Ligang, the commander of the command sitting on the right-hand side, is a heroic middle-aged man, in his early thirties to be able to mix in this position, to become a military general of the third grade, but it is not that he has any strong background, all of them are relying on their own efforts to get to this day, it can be said that whether it is wisdom or courage, they are the top five people in the entire Liaodong region.
Ye Ligang, who can be called an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, knew his fate when he heard his soldiers say that Zhong Cheng killed Song Yong at the city gate, and he was even more angry that Zhong Chengcheng was a stupid pig, "Look at it, because this person is likely to bury all of us in the city." ”
Even on the battlefield, killing a general of the five-star army is nothing, and when the two armies are fighting, where will there be immortal people. But killing an unarmed envoy is completely different, it is blatantly breaking the rules, and it is slapping King Wunan in the face.
[Mimi Read] ()
Who is King Wunan?
That is an existence that can go hand in hand with the Southern and Northern Ming Emperors.
In terms of site alone, it's not bad. It's just that his reputation is not as good as others, is such a person so easy to mess with?
Who is Zhong Cheng, but the family has some reputation in Beijing, and he has only made some money in business over the years, so he really thinks that he is invincible, so he can do whatever he wants? Is it okay to kill people indiscriminately without rules?
From that moment on, Ye Ligang had already betrayed Zhong Cheng to death. And now, Zhong Cheng is openly resisting the orders of the commander, Ye Ligang doesn't know what to say about this person, it seems that a stupid word is no longer enough to fully represent.
Sure enough, Zhong Cheng just refused, and Song Quan was angry when he commanded him. "General Zhong, do you think I'm discussing with you? Tell you that this is a military order, and if you don't obey it, then military law will do it. ”
The so-called military law is to kill the head. Zhong Cheng, who felt that something was wrong, pointed at Song Quan and said: "Lord Commander, you can't be like this, over the years, our Zhong family has sent you silver..."
"Shut up. In the dare to mess around, the palm mouth is thirty. Song Quan said angrily.
That's right, he has been able to sit in this position over the years, and he has indeed sent a lot of money upwards, which is also a helpless move, if he doesn't do this, I'm afraid he will be calculated a long time ago. And among them, the Zhong family has produced a lot of silver, if it is in the past, even if it is to look at the face in this regard, he will not do anything to Zhong Cheng.
But now, seeing that Tellin City is about to be detained, and he is going to die, how can he still be threatened by this Zhong Cheng?
