Chapter Seventy-Nine: I Didn't Really Believe It
At the behest of the emperor, the military department moved quickly.
Zhao Jingyu mobilized 20,000 people from other armies and collected 10,000 young and middle-aged people from the people.
Within a few days, these 30,000 people were all included in Chu Nanyue's garrison on the outskirts of Beijing.
The Lord will be in the tent.
Zhou Yuanqi was registering on the sidelines and re-entering these soldiers into the military registration of the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing.
"General Chu, these 30,000 people will be handed over to you. Whether it was from the soldiers of other armies, or from among the common people. I hope that General Chu will bother more. Zhao Jingyu said.
There was a kind of caring enthusiasm in his tone, which made Chu Nanyue feel that he wanted to stay away quickly.
"I understand everything about governing the army. It's been hard work for Lord Zhao these past few days. Now let's go home and rest. Chu Nanyue said politely.
Zhao Jingyu noticed her alienation, so he had no choice but to leave, and said: "The military department is not just ignoring these soldiers with their hands, if there are any problems in the future, please ask General Chu to talk to us more." ”
"Hmm." Chu Nanyue nodded, and then ordered, "Yuan Qi, send Lord Zhao back." ”
What happened after that has nothing to do with Zhao Jingyu. Soon, Zhao Jingyu was sent away by Zhou Yuanqi.
Immediately after, the troops who had been dispatched had already lined up and stood on the school ground.
What can make Chu Nanyue feel a headache is Zhao Jingyu, who has never been a talent. Rather, it was a general of the army that was brought over.
General Zhang was already old, and during the five-year Battle of Tanglin, the emperor did not give him a chance to return to the battlefield. Instead, let him be in charge of training the army in the rear.
Chu Nanyue knew that people who had been on the battlefield for a long time had a certain amount of arrogance.
General Zhang is older than her, more senior, and even more experienced in marching and fighting.
After the imperial court returned to the court, Chu Nanyue received a great reward and became a first-class Xuanwei general.
Although the people in the court couldn't say anything about military exploits, Chu Nanyue guessed that General Zhang must have a slight word, and it was even inevitable that he would be prejudiced against her.
She was too young and a woman, and she had never worked with General Zhang before, let alone understood General Zhang's temperament.
Chu Nanyue went all the way to the point school.
In the center of the school field, the main generals among the 20,000 soldiers were standing. The leader is General Zhang.
Chu Nanyue looked at General Zhang and saw that his beard was white, but he was still in good spirits, he was really a capable veteran.
She stepped forward, saluted first, and said respectfully: "General Zhang, I am Chu Nanyue." ”
General Zhang looked at her, Chu Nanyue was smaller, and although she was wearing a military uniform, she could still see the woman's makeup.
He is not an unreasonable person, since Chu Nanyue treats him politely, he also said to Chu Nanyue: "The 20,000 soldiers under the command of the last general have all arrived." Please ask General Chu to show me. ”
Chu Nanyue nodded and said, "Old General Zhang has worked hard all the way. ”
As she spoke, she stepped forward again, stood on a high place, and said to all the soldiers: "I know that you have always respected General Zhang, and under his rule, your military discipline is strict and you are a good army. ”
Chu Nanyue knew a lot, and before they came, whether it was General Zhang's style of governing the army or the relationship between the soldiers in their army, Chu Nanyue had already figured it out.
Hearing Chu Nanyue's words, General Zhang's eyebrows and eyes were obviously stretched a lot, and his eyes were a little more gentle when he looked at her.
"I know that after the emperor gave the order, the incident happened suddenly, and I transferred you to my camp on the outskirts of Beijing and belonged to my Chu Nanyue. I think you're going to be uncomfortable. So ......"
Chu Nanyue paused slightly, and then said, "Although you have been incorporated into my garrison on the outskirts of Beijing. But from now on, you are still under the jurisdiction of General Zhang. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone was in an uproar, and they were already embarrassed.
There is no one who does not love power, and after having the jurisdiction of the army, how can there be people who are unwilling to take back power, but remain in the hands of the original commander.
But Chu Nanyue did so.
General Zhang was obviously very surprised. couldn't help but say: "General Chu, the emperor's order is to let the last general hand over the soldiers directly to you." ”
Chu Nanyue smiled and said: "Old General Zhang, you have fought for Tanglin for more than 40 years, but I, Chu Nanyue, have only been able to fight for five years. What qualifications am I going to talk about in front of you? Naturally, it is better for your soldiers to be governed by yourself. ”
Chu Nanyue's words were humble, and he had already earned enough favor for himself in front of those soldiers.
"General Zhang, don't worry. The emperor said that the army, together with the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing, became Tuntian soldiers. But there is no conflict between the various levels of management, and you have to manage the 20,000 troops by you, and you only need to report to me every few days. I will not interfere with your jurisdiction. Chu Nanyue continued to explain.
It turned out that Chu Nanyue wanted to give him full jurisdiction. He had prestige in front of the soldiers. And to be honest, he is reluctant to completely abandon the soldiers he has brought for many years.
And Chu Nanyue fulfilled him.
By the end of the order, the soldiers had dispersed. And General Zhang quietly entered the main general's camp alone and came to Chu Nanyue for an interview.
Chu Nanyue was not too surprised by the arrival of General Zhang, but asked Qingshuang to invite him to sit down.
General Zhang's eyes on her were also different from before, and he said, "The old man is ashamed." I even listened to other people's rumors that you were a proud person and had no real talent. When I saw it today, I realized that I was wrong. ”
General Zhang said seriously. You and I didn't work together in the military after all. As the saying goes, it's better to see than to hear. And I also have confidence in General Zhang, after you and I talk in detail, General Zhang will never be swayed by those rumors. Chu Nanyue said.
Chu Nanyue's tone was flat, and he didn't seem to be angry because of this.
General Zhang was surprised: "Doesn't General Chu want to ask, who said such remarks to me in the DPRK?" ”
If it was someone else, he would probably have been so angry that he wanted to ask him who spread these rumors. But Chu Nanyue not only didn't ask, but he was also very considerate of his previous attitude.
Chu Nanyue shook his head: "Who said these words, it doesn't matter to me." The point is that General Zhang didn't really believe it, but gave me a chance to prove myself. ”
And the person who spreads the rumors, Chu Nanyue doesn't need to think about it to know that he has nothing to do with the Ministry of War.
There is infighting and fighting for power within the military department, and with such a divisive method, it is probably because he doesn't want her to have a better time at the same time.
The 50,000 Tuntian soldiers on the outskirts of Beijing are composed of three groups of people, and if she and General Zhang lose trust in each other from the beginning, there will be a gap between the soldiers. Although it is a Tuntian soldier, it will definitely not be easy to manage.
Fortunately, she and General Zhang are not idle people, and they will never really characterize a person because of rumors.
General Zhang looked at Chu Nanyue appreciatively and said, "General Chu is really a heroine. The last time I saw this kind of demeanor, I saw it on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”
