In the nine-sided military town of the Ming Dynasty, the highest military commander was the general guard of the town, who was in charge of all military affairs in the defense area, and the weight of authority was not inferior to that of the feudal officials. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition to the general guards of the major military towns, the military governors of some important military fort camps also have the official position of the general soldiers, although their status is not as prominent as that of the general guards, but most of the defense lines responsible for these general soldiers are crucial, and the imperial court is also particularly supportive, and their direct troops are not inferior!

Shi Song, the chief soldier of the Huamachi Battalion, is like this, with nearly 3,000 private soldiers, which can be described as strong! In addition, Zheng Yu, the deputy commander-in-chief, and Qian Bao, the staff general, also have 500 private soldiers, and the garrison officer Bao Hongjie also has 300 private soldiers!

As for those thousands and hundreds of households, they all have private soldiers ranging from dozens to hundreds.

In other words, half of the more than 10,000 border troops in the entire Huamachi battalion belong to the private soldiers of these generals!

As for the other half of the people, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and in the eyes of the generals, they are no different from slaves, almost without any combat power.

Now, the forbidden army has been unable to completely control the situation in the Huamachi camp for a long time, because the private soldiers under the command of these generals are bent on saving the Lord and constantly resisting!

However, although the private soldiers under his command were brave, in the forbidden army camp, after the generals found that they were under house arrest, they all had a weak attitude and did not dare to resist.

Although they are military generals, they also understand the truth of "those who know the times are handsome", and they know that even if they resist, they can't change anything, but it may endanger their lives, so they just stay in the room honestly and discuss countermeasures nervously.

General soldier Shi Songnai is a veteran of the battlefield, now he is nearly fifty years old, in the northwest frontier for so many years, has long understood the truth of "strength is everything", as long as his own strength is strong, no one dares to move himself easily, but is competing to win over, so he is the most hard to raise private troops, and the annual war will rarely let his private soldiers participate in the war, and there are often actions to avoid war, that is, they are afraid that their strength will be lost.

In fact, Shi Song's concept is extremely correct in some respects, when he had 500 private soldiers, the then governor of Shaanxi and Gansu promoted him to become the garrison officer of the guard, and when he had 1,000 private soldiers, he was valued by the former governor of the three sides and promoted to general! When he had 2,000 private soldiers, he was promoted by the previous trilateral governor Liang Fuchen and became the chief soldier of the Huamachi battalion!

In contrast, although some generals have outstanding military achievements, they have insufficient troops, and the promotion speed is not as fast as Shi Song, who often avoids battles to preserve his strength.

All in all, strength is everything, and Shi Song has already deeply realized this.

Today, Shi Song already has 3,000 private troops, and these 3,000 private troops are all well-equipped and highly skilled, much more elite than the private soldiers of the rest of the generals, even in the entire Ningxia military town, he is a decisive force.

After being placed under house arrest by Guan Wuyuan, although Shi Song was very knowledgeable and did not resist, he did not panic too much, because he had 3,000 loyal elite private soldiers under his command, no matter who they were, they would compete for each other, and they would never easily offend themselves.

Therefore, at this time, although the Huamachi camp was already in chaos, and most of the generals were restless, Shi Song was still an old god, just sitting at the banquet and drinking to pass the time.

After coming to the forbidden army camp, although Guan Wuyuan was not seen, Guan Wuyuan still prepared three tables of banquets for them, and in this regard, Guan Wuyuan did set up a banquet to entertain them.

*

"What the hell is going on?"

"Is the Forbidden Army going to rebel?"

"What the hell is Guan Wuyuan thinking? Why do you have to lead the soldiers? ”

"I don't know what happened to the Governor!"

Unlike Shi Song, the rest of the generals are not strong enough, and they are not as good as Shi Song alone, so they are naturally not so calm, and since they were under house arrest, they have all been restless and discussing countermeasures with each other.

But soon, the generals found that they were now under the control of others, and they couldn't find any countermeasures at all, but they turned their eyes to the general soldier Shi Song, wanting to seek ideas from Shi Song.

"Lord Commander, what do you think we are going to do now?"

"Guan Wuyuan actually put us under house arrest, this matter can't be counted like this!"

"Lord Commander, if it is a critical moment, you must pull the brothers!"

"Lord Commander, Guan Wuyuan suddenly led the troops into chaos, didn't he greet you in advance? It's too much to see that there is no one, you are the real master of the Huamachi Camp! ”

Seeing that all the generals were surrounding him, asking him for advice, seeking protection, and even wanting to let himself take action against Guan Wuyuan, Shi Song only felt impatient in his heart, and shouted in a low voice: "What is the mess!" And what is there to mess with! Don't worry, no matter why Guan Wuyuan wants to put us under house arrest and why he wants to lead the troops to make trouble, as long as our strength still exists, he won't dare to make things difficult for us easily! Don't look at the many forbidden soldiers, but they have been slacking off for a long time, they are just looking good, and where are the opponents of our border army! If we are forced to be anxious, flip the table and turn our faces, not to mention victory or defeat for the time being, Guan Wuyuan will definitely not be able to bear the loss! ”

Speaking of this, Shi Song snorted coldly and said: "Listen carefully, although the Huamachi camp is chaotic and noisy now, there is no sound of fighting, the forbidden army and the border army are obviously just confronting each other, the border army does not have our orders, and they dare not clash with the forbidden army at will, but the forbidden army does not dare to take the initiative, so they just confront each other...... Wait, Guan Wuyuan will come to us soon! ”

After hearing Shi Song's assurance, all the generals were much more relieved.

However, at this time, a young man's leisurely admiration suddenly came from outside the room: "General Shi is worthy of being the general of the Northwest Frontier, and his concentration is indeed amazing, and when he encounters such an accident, he is still calm and scheming, which is really admirable!" ”

Hearing this voice, Shi Song's eyes froze, he raised his eyes to look outside the house, and asked, "Who is talking?" ”

With Shi Song's inquiry, the three of them stepped into the room.

It is Zhao Junchen, Guan Wuyuan, and Li Ruan.

After seeing Guan Wuyuan and Li Ru'an appear together, all the generals changed their faces, and they planned to question Guan Wuyuan's reasons for placing them under house arrest and leading the troops to make trouble.

However, without waiting for the generals to speak, Shi Song raised his hand to stop them, his eyes skimmed over Guan Wuyuan and Li Ru'an, and fell on Zhao Junchen.

Guan Wuyuan commanded the 50,000 forbidden army, and Li Ru'an was the eunuch of the supervising army, both of whom were of noble status, but the two of them stood behind Zhao Junchen left and right, and followed Zhao Junchen step by step, quite respectful, so Shi Song immediately guessed that Zhao Junchen's identity and status were far more noble than Guan Wuyuan and Li Ru'an, and Guan Wuyuan's house arrest of the generals today and the rebellion without warning were obviously from Zhao Junchen's mastermind.

Thinking of this, Shi Song also stood up, arched his hand towards Zhao Junchen and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" Your Excellency was talking just now? ”

Zhao Junchen walked to the banquet and sat down, he didn't mean to hide his identity, and replied with a smile: "This official is Zhao Junchen, the minister of the imperial court and the secretary of the household department!" ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's self-introduction, everyone was surprised.

Didn't Zhao Junchen disappear because of a cross-border attack by the Mongols? Why did you suddenly appear here? Guan Wuyuan's actions were obviously out of Zhao Junchen's orders, and for what reason?

Shi Song's expression changed slightly, but he immediately saluted Zhao Junchen and said, "The last general will meet Lord Qincha!" ”

Under the leadership of Shi Song, all the generals also knelt on one knee, saluted Zhao Junchen, and said in unison: "Humble to meet Lord Qincha." ”

No matter what Zhao Junchen wants to do, he is Lord Qincha after all, and he can't mess up his humility before he completely tears his face.

After saluting, the generals originally thought that Zhao Junchen would let them get up and talk, and then they could open their mouths to ask Zhao Junchen for the reason.

However, Zhao Junchen seemed to have forgotten this, let everyone kneel, and just said slowly: "Everyone must have some doubts in their hearts, I don't know why General Guan is under house arrest, and I don't know why Ben Qincha suddenly appeared here...... You are all generals of the imperial court, and it is necessary for Ben Qincha to explain the reason to you! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen's originally gentle voice suddenly became cold, and continued: "You must have heard about Ben Qincha's attack by the Mongols in Hengshan County, according to Ben Qincha's investigation, it was found that this matter was instigated by Wang Gong, a staff member of Wang Zheng, the governor of the three sides, and this person colluded with foreign criminals, plotted to kill Qin Cha, and betrayed the imperial court, which is really a great crime! At the same time, Ben Qincha also found that Wang Gong and the Wang family's forces in Shaanxi and Gansu were intertwined, and there were many civil and military officials in Shaanxi and Gansu who were their comrades...... Everything is just to be foolproof, and to completely eradicate the tumor and hidden danger of the Wang family with thunderous means! ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, the faces of the generals changed again.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Junchen's target turned out to be Wang Gong and the Wang family!

Most of the generals had contact with the Wang family, and they couldn't help but speculate in their hearts, for fear that they would be implicated.

Especially Shi Song, there was a sudden storm in his heart! He was able to have the strength of 3,000 private soldiers, largely because of the Wang family's secret funding, if Zhao Junchen took action to eradicate the Wang family, how would he maintain his strength in the future? If you want to feed 3,000 private soldiers, the annual cost is not a small amount!

Just when everyone was thinking differently, Zhao Junchen said again: "Of course, Wang Gong and the Wang family have always been very hidden, and they colluded with foreign officials to betray the imperial court, and they want to hide it from everyone, so my action this time is only aimed at the Wang family, and it will not implicate the civil and military officials of Shaanxi and Gansu!" ”

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, all the generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Shi Song suddenly asked: "Lord Qincha thinks that the Shaanxi-Gansu-Wang family colluded with foreign criminals and plotted to kill Qincha, is there any tangible evidence?" ”

Zhao Junchen glanced at Shi Song and asked, "How about the evidence?" What if there is no evidence? ”

Shi Song said slowly: "The last general thinks that Lord Qincha should still act cautiously, the Wang family is a big clan in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu have often been funded by the Wang family over the years, and have contributed a lot of financial and material resources to the border defense plan of the imperial court, it is hard to imagine that they will secretly collude with the Mongols, if Lord Qincha has no evidence, it should not be easily judged that the Wang family collaborated with the enemy, let alone easily targeted, if Lord Qincha found tangible evidence, it should also be carefully reviewed to avoid causing an unjust case!" ”

Zhao Junchen suddenly laughed again and asked, "Listen to what you mean, whether Ben Qincha has evidence or not, he can't deal with the Wang family?" ”

Shi Song said: "The last general just thinks that Lord Qincha should be more cautious and not wronged good people. ”

Zhao Junchen said coldly: "Wronged a good person? Will a good person collude with foreign criminals, murder the Qincha, and betray the people of the court? That's right, the 3,000 private soldiers under the command of Mr. Shi spend countless amounts of money and food every year, half of which are funded by the Wang family, so naturally they want to speak for the Wang family! ”

Seeing that Zhao Junchen knew his affairs so well, Shi Song couldn't help but be surprised.

However, as Zhao Junchen said, Shi Song and the Wang family have a prosperous relationship, and Zhao Junchen cannot be allowed to deal with the Wang family.

Therefore, Shi Song avoided talking about Zhao Junchen's statement, and just continued: "Lord Qincha Mingjian, now is a sensitive period, the Wang family's funding of the Shaanxi and Gansu trilateral over the years, many soldiers are in the eyes, if you really take action against the Wang family, it will inevitably cause chaos, maybe there will be a mutiny, and at that time, things will be difficult to clean up!" ”

In the end, there was already a faint threat in Shi Song's words!

Shi Song believed that Zhao Junchen would definitely seriously consider his proposal, after all, he had 3,000 elite private soldiers, and he was also responsible for the defense of the Huamachi battalion, and he was the mainstay of the northwest frontier defense.

Now that the invasion of the Mongolian army is imminent, the border situation is critical, and Zhao Junchen will never dare to offend the border generals at this time in order to stabilize the overall situation!

However, Shi Song overestimated his own importance after all, and also underestimated Zhao Junchen's determination.

I only heard Zhao Junchen suddenly sigh softly and said: "Sure enough, if you want to control the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, it is not enough to be reasonable...... After all, you still have to kill people to stand up for power! ”

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, Guan Wuyuan suddenly pulled out his waist knife, jumped behind Shi Song in one step, and slashed with a swing of the knife!

Then, blood sprayed, and the headless corpse fell heavily, and the head rolled to the ground.

*

Above the first level, Shi Song's eyes were wide open, full of incredulity.

He didn't understand until he died, he was obviously sitting on 3,000 elite private soldiers, but Zhao Junchen really dared to kill himself?

But in fact, in Zhao Junchen's eyes, Shi Song's 3,000 private soldiers were worthless! In fact, if he really wanted these three thousand private soldiers to exert some value, Shi Song would have to die!

Because Shi Song attaches too much importance to strength, he always avoids battles and flees in order to preserve his strength, so what is the use of his 3,000 private soldiers, no matter how elite and brave they are, but they can't resist foreign invaders?

In fact, the Ming Dynasty's border defense was weak, to a large extent, because there were too many generals like Shi Song, who ate empty salaries and drank the blood of soldiers, resulting in the emptiness of the frontier troops.

On the contrary, after Shi Song died, Zhao Junchen received his 3,000 private soldiers, which could allow this force to play some role!

What's more, now that Zhao Junchen also wants to establish his authority, Shi Song hit the muzzle of the gun headlong, which is naturally the end of his death.

With Shi Song being killed, all the generals were horrified and hurriedly retreated to the side.

Zhao Junchen, on the other hand, returned to his original mild appearance and asked again: "Now, Ben Qincha asks again, Ben Qincha intends to deal with the Wang family's affairs, but who else is against it?" ”

Seeing Shi Song's fate, naturally no one dared to object.

What's more, compared to Shi Song, their relationship with the Wang family is not so close.

So, after all the generals were silent for a moment, they all said: "The lowly rank is willing to follow Lord Qincha, and everything is at the command of Lord Qincha!" ”

Zhao Junchen was noncommittal, but just asked, "In that case, why do your private soldiers obstruct the forbidden army?" Can't you rebel? ”

Well, the second update!
