239. Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger
The next day, when Zhao Dongting led the Flying Dragon Army and Wu Dingtang to the outside of Gaozhou City, Zhang Hongwei, the one-eyed arrow who led the army stationed in Gaozhou, was already waiting at the gate of the city with his subordinates.
If you want to say that among the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty who are most grateful to Zhao Dongting, Yue Peng, then it should be Zhang Hongwei who is closely followed.
Zhang Hongwei is not as famous in the army as Yue Peng and Su Quandang, and his military exploits are far less prominent. At the beginning, he saved Zhao Dongting with arrows in Qizhou, but he was only named the commander of the Longwei Left Wing Army.
Although it is already a rare achievement to save the holy car, such a credit is obviously not well known in the army.
Yue Peng has broken through to the present, how many enemies have he killed? How much meritorious?
Originally, Zhang Hongwei was only a partial general under Yue Peng, and he couldn't even be counted as the top five in command of the guards.
However, when Zhao Dongting established the 15th Tiangang Army, he still promoted Zhang Hongwei to the commander of the Tianji Army.
At this point, even Wen Tianxiang raised doubts at the time, believing that Zhang Hongwei's qualifications, military merits, and prestige were not enough to be the commander of the capital.
Zhao Dongting said, "Although Zhang Hongwei's military merits are insufficient, the righteousness in his heart is rarely matched by people in the army. ”
Yes, what he fancied was not Zhang Hongwei's archery, let alone military talent, but Zhang Hongwei's loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Dongting still remembers Zhang Hongwei's performance in the army during the Battle of Jiezhou. He was in the Leizhou army, just a small pawn, but he didn't follow the crowd. It can be said that at the beginning, the Leizhou army was disheartened and there were many defectors, among which Zhang Hongwei had a great credit.
It was his righteousness and actions that infected other soldiers.
He is an assertive man.
Military talent can be learned, but this kind of loyalty and adherence to the general righteousness in the heart is commendable, especially in this era.
There were countless generals in the former Southern Song Dynasty, but when the Yuan army invaded the territory, how many people fell in despair?
In Zhao Dongting's view, instead of using those generals who are not strong-willed, it is better to cultivate people like Zhang Hongwei.
This is also the reason why the commanders of the newly built 15th Army are not veterans, and there are not many loyal and righteous veterans left in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Dongting can't look down on those who can get by.
Outside Gaozhou City, seeing Zhao Dongting's chariot arrive, Zhang Hongwei led the generals and soldiers to kneel on the ground to greet him.
Zhao Dongting walked out of the chariot and asked them to get up, his eyes swept over the soldiers in front of him and the head of Gaozhou City.
On the towering city walls, flags fluttered, and there were many soldiers with guns.
The spirit of these soldiers is probably not as good as Yue Peng's Tiankui army, but it has already made Zhao Dongting quite satisfied.
They all hold their heads high, which is enough to show that they have a fighting spirit. If Zhang Hongwei was a straw bale, it would be impossible for the soldiers under his command to have such a spirit.
The general influences the soldiers, and it depends on the general, it is enough to look at the soldiers under his command.
If the soldiers under his command are lazy, then probably the generals in the army are like that.
Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and said, "The Heavenly Machine Army is good. ”
Zhang Hongwei was slightly excited, and said: "It is all the strict military discipline set by the emperor. ”
Although this sentence is suspected of being a sycophant, Zhao Dongting can also see that Zhang Hongwei's words are from the heart.
At the beginning, Zhang Hongwei was promoted to the commander of the Tianji Army, which can be said to be airborne, but he just took a few cronies from the guards and pro-army. The Heavenly Machine Army under his command is composed of the soldiers of the former Ali Hague. In a short period of time, it is impossible for a soldier to have such a spirit, which has nothing to do with military discipline.
And the military discipline of the Southern Song Dynasty was all set by Zhao Dongting.
The military discipline he set was modeled after the modern army, and there was no rule of beheading at every turn, but what was confined up could be regarded as a combination of grace and power.
These soldiers were originally Song troops, first to the Yuan, and now to the Song. Originally, there were panics, and some people even took the opportunity to cause chaos, but after those leaders were beheaded, they also settled down. Later, when I saw that I was not discriminated against in the army, I didn't just do those dirty and hard work, but had the same treatment as the rest of the forbidden army, and I was more at ease.
In these years, I fought with the army, just to eat, and the treatment in the Song army was better than in the Yuan army, why didn't I follow the Song army?
Although the Song Dynasty is now at an absolute disadvantage, these soldiers who have learned the power of the Song army at the beginning also have a lot of hope for the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, his eyes swept over the faces of the generals under Zhang Hongwei with a smile, and walked into the city.
These partial generals are also demoted generals, among them is the commander of the original Ali Hague, who saw Zhao Dongting's eyes, they were all thoughtful.
Your Majesty, is this encouraging us? Or is it warning us?
Undoubtedly, Zhao Dongting's slightly smiling eyes just now were very profound, which made them unable to figure out the meaning.
Of course, this is mainly because Zhao Dongting is the emperor. If he were an ordinary person, who would pay attention to his eyes?
As Zhao Dongting entered the city, the crowd would be a little more respectful.
And the neat appearance of the Flying Dragon Army behind them also made their hearts feel slightly cold.
All of them are ink armor and silver spears, and there are daggers and dragon guns hanging from their waists, and they look proud, such elite soldiers, they have never seen them in the Yuan army.
It can be said that the special forces specially built by Zhao Dongting are completely beyond the cognition of these partial generals about the army.
An army like the Wyvern Army is a product of this era.
Although Zhao Dongting didn't say anything, the Flying Dragon Army alone was enough to slightly deter these partial generals.
Later, when he went to the Gaozhou Mansion, the generals sat down, and Zhao Dongting announced in public that Zhao Hu would be left to lead two hundred flying dragon soldiers and two hundred grenadiers to help defend the city.
This made Zhang Hong very happy.
Of course, he knew the power of grenadiers, and he was not afraid of two hundred grenadiers, even an army of thirty or fifty thousand yuan, to attack Gaozhou.
The generals were also full of joy, but what they thought in their hearts was unknown.
On this day and night, Zhao Dongting slept in the mansion, but he gave Zhao Da a secret order.
After that, the ten teams of the Flying Dragon Army, which were composed of ten people, quietly left the government and went to the military camp in Gaozhou.
That night, none of the ten commanders under Zhang Hongwei's command could sleep soundly.
They were sleeping well, and suddenly someone quietly barged in and pointed a dagger to their heads, how could they sleep peacefully?
And after the flying dragon sergeants succeeded, they showed their tokens, "The emperor asked the generals to be careful of the Yuan army assassins." ”
After saying this, regardless of the faces of these partial generals, Shi Shiran left.
The generals were dumbfounded.
Your Majesty, let's be careful of the Yuan Army assassins? Or can you take our lives at any time?
The methods of the flying dragon soldiers also made them deeply jealous.
In this era, there is no army that can perform a "decapitation operation" on the Wyvern soldiers.
Following.
Zhao Dongting announced that Zhang Hongwei and the generals went to the main hall of the government to have a banquet, and the faces of the generals were strange.
With a smile on his face, Zhao Dongting swept over their faces and said, "When the generals are sleeping peacefully, don't relax your precautions......
Zhang Hongwei was puzzled, but those partial generals were red-faced.
The emperor's face is really crackling!
I think they are all generals in the army, but they were touched by the Flying Dragon Army team to the edge of the bed and didn't notice it, where did this face go?
And Zhao Dongting, after saying this, buried his head in eating and did not speak again.
That's all he can do for Zhang Hongwei. Presumably, after these generals were beaten like this, even if they really had the intention of lowering the yuan again, they should also weigh whether they could leave alive, right?
After almost suffering a big loss on Jiezhou Island, Zhao Dongting really couldn't rest assured about these generals.
Even if these people are recruited now, there are special people for psychological counseling and "political consciousness" counseling, but people's hearts are unpredictable after all!
When the generals left the hall with their hearts in mind, Zhang Hongwei couldn't help it and asked, "Your Majesty, ......what did you say?"
Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Hehe, I just asked the Flying Dragon soldiers to go and see if the generals have slept well last night." ”
Zhang Hongwei was stunned.
He is not stupid, of course he can hear what Zhao Dongting means by this.
Did you let the soldiers go to see the general and sleep?
Why didn't he, the general, get the news?
Obviously, the emperor is asking people to beat those partial generals!
After coming back to his senses, Zhang Hongwei said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, among the ten partial generals, two of them are cronies of the last general......"
"Uh......"
Zhao Dongting was stunned, "This, it should be fine, right?" ”
As soon as he came to Gaozhou, he actually knew that Zhang Hongwei was the commander of the capital, but he didn't know what the generals below Zhang Hongwei were appointing.
I don't know how Zhang Hongwei's two loyal generals feel at this time.
Zhang Hongwei said: "The last general will wait and talk to them." ”
Zhao Dongting nodded, and after a short time, he left Gaozhou with the Flying Dragon Army and the Wuding Hall worshippers and went to Xinyi.
On the way, Le sighed heartily for free, "The emperor knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger last night, which was wonderful." ”
He looked at Zhao Dongting with bulging eyes, he really didn't understand why the emperor had so many ghost thoughts in his heart at such a young age.
Le put himself in his shoes for free, if it were himself, he probably wouldn't be able to think of such a way to beat the generals, right?
Qin Han, who had always been looking down at a book next to him, also looked up at Zhao Dongting at this time.
