Chapter 60 61
At this moment, the two princes of the palace can no longer see the arrogance they once had, in this strange environment, all they can feel is fear, yes, only those deep fears, and coldness.
Just when these people were still thinking about such a question, no matter how far away the northern frontier was, the high-spirited Yidi people were holding a grand banquet at this moment.
At the banquet, Ning Xiangben and Shang Kecai were all given rich rewards, and Shang Kecai was the general who rebelled when the Hengsha Army fought with the Yidi people.
Both of them kept the ugly money rat tail, both of them laughed loudly in the big tent, and both of them were congratulating themselves to the king of the Khan of the Yidi people.
At the banquet, they also knew, and in the Dingju camp near the Jingshi, Ning Xiangben volunteered and said: "King Khan, we and the thieves are going to kill the Great Jing Dynasty, and my subordinates think about it, it is better for me to meet the leader of the thieves and tell them the reason, so that we can get enough benefits from the behemoth of the Great Jing Dynasty." Naturally, Yidi people agreed with his words, so Ning Xiangben hurried over to Shuntianfu with his manpower, just leaving Shang Kecai's envious face, and he now very much hopes that he can show his efforts to be recognized.
Don't talk about the people of Yidi on the grassland, but talk about the preparation of the Dajing Dynasty to listen to the moment, the Dajing Dynasty got the news a few days ago, when he learned the news, Jiachong Emperor Zhou Dingding still doesn't know how he forced himself to read the news, he just knows that his feelings at that time are disheartened and infinitely sad, looking at the people above the court, he immediately became angry, and then the court loudly reprimanded the many ministers above the court at this moment, the cabinet chief, Yang Yongchang still has a little peace of mind in his heart, although the Yidi people will enter the prison at this moment, but this has little to do with him.
These are all troubles caused by Hong Bingxun, so it is basically impossible for him to enter the cabinet, and his position is kept.
In addition, the accumulation of the Great Jing Dynasty for a hundred years can not be overturned by some Yidi people.
He looked at Qian Gongshou, the household servant who was next to him, and there was too much meaning in it.
But at the moment, the two of them have the same mood, and they are not so sad but joyful.
This is the so-called top officials of the Great Jing Dynasty, they are all quick-witted, and they also have their own unique talents, but at this moment, their faces are so angry that they feel a trace of sadness.
I really don't know what kind of mood the countless soldiers of the Hengsha Army who died in the desert would have if they had knowledge and saw this scene at this moment, and the duty they fought for was to protect such a group of things, which was pathetic.
However, Liu Qing, who is not far away, has already decided to let his camp protect this great nation.
Emperor Jiachong above the court was still venting his temper, he didn't have any way to control his anger at the moment, the army of more than 100,000 was just gone, and suddenly, he shouted: "Hong Bingxun, where is he, I want to see him, hundreds of thousands of elites, how did he lead the soldiers." ”
At this time, above the court, the military department came out, his name was Yu Yunzun, and he could be regarded as a figure in the court, but at this moment, facing the Jiachong Emperor Zhou Dingding, he also felt a trace of fear.
After all, he doesn't know whether he has to take responsibility, since the fiasco of the Shunyi army twenty years ago, the Dajing Dynasty has never had such a time without authority, and at this moment, in the vicinity of the Shuntian Mansion of the Jingshi, there are still thieves raging, which makes it extremely difficult for him to be the secretary of the military department, but at this moment, he was personally named by Emperor Jiachong Zhou Dingding, so he now has no reason to say the past to avoid this inquiry, then, all he can do is hurriedly came to the court and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, telling Emperor Jiachong Zhou Dingding about the uneasiness in his heart.
He said: "Your Majesty, Lord Hong, at this moment, I am also leading 70,000 Hengsha troops outside to come quickly in the direction of Beijing, and I implore the emperor to quickly allocate military rations to reassure the hearts of the soldiers on the front line, Your Majesty." Hearing this, Jiachong Emperor Zhou Dingding felt a sneer and immediately became angry, but he heard it, when Hong Bingxun still had an army of 70,000 at the moment, he forced himself to suppress his anger, he fully knew the significance of this number for the Jingshi, the current Jingshi has thieves in the south, and there are Yidi people in the north, which is a critical time to employ people, and Hong Bingxun has been in the Hengsha Army for more than ten years, and he also has a lot of foundation, at this time, Jiachong Emperor Zhou Dingding also has not much to say, He could only choose to compromise, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, allocate another 200,000 taels of military salaries and tens of thousands of weapons to him, and tell Hong Bingxun that he can't let Yidi enter the Beijing Division, otherwise, he will wait for the knife after the autumn." When he said this, the entire court was also in a state of flux, and people were stunned by this sentence.
And Hong Bingxun is a number of bureaucrats in the Jing Dynasty, but at this moment, his fate is so unknown, even Yang Yongchang below was surprised, although he was very at odds with that Hong Bingxun, but he didn't expect this result.
This does not kill scholars, is the goal that all literati must pursue, on this point, the scholars of the dynasty have the same point of view, which transcends the party, Hong Bingxun and Wang Zike are different, Wang Zike is also a person from a military family, although he later became the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, and he also hugged the thigh of Yang Yongchang, the first assistant of the cabinet, but he is still a military minister who is not close to Wenchen, civil and military contention, this contradiction is innate, and there is no way to solve a very big problem, but Hong Bingxun is different.
He is an official from Jinshi, although he has led the troops in recent years, but he is also a well-known figure in the Wenchen, the Wenchen just can't get used to his appearance, but they all admit that Hong Bingxun himself is a Confucian general.
But don't underestimate the two words, this is to completely distinguish Hong Bingxun who led the troops from the generals who were rejected by the ministers, otherwise, he has no shortage of military salaries in the past ten years, and he has had a lot of fun.
Let Emperor Jiachong rise up the idea of bringing him to the court and entering the cabinet.
This is all because the ministers are supporting him, this year, the reason for his insufficient military salary is not anything else, but because this is a factional struggle between Hong Bingxun and Yang Yongchang, so that everyone dare not step forward after seeing it, so there is such a result.
What you must know is that although Hong Bingxun is powerful, he is only a minister who leads troops outside after all, Yang Yongchang is the first auxiliary minister above the court, and he has the incomparable trust of Emperor Jiachong at this moment. But this, isn't it that Dingguo Cao Qianlie has already come to Henan there to exterminate the camp of displaced people, although their Dingguo Mansion is strong, but at this juncture when the main backbone is not there, there is not much strength in it.
Besides, this is a struggle within Wenchen, and if Dingguo Gong is a noble military minister at the moment, there is no need to meddle in this issue, they just need to sit firmly by the river and watch, so they don't speak.
At this moment, above the court, Hong Bingxun's future is bleak, and the atmosphere is solidified.
Just when Hong Bingxun's fate was being discussed, in Northern Xinjiang, the party Hong Bingxun looked at the mountains and rivers with some amazement, but deep in his heart, there was a lot of desolation in his heart, and he knew that this time, he would definitely not be able to escape punishment.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, this number, at any time, is an unbearable pressure, but in that northern Xinjiang battalion, all of them are completely defeated and dissipated invisibly, and the dream is shattered at that time.
Hong Bingxun thinks that he is a very open person, but, thinking of the unfair treatment over the past year, how much evil fire has risen in him, his failure, more, the reason is not here in him Hong Bingxun himself, the more he thinks about it, he is chanting a person's name, that is Yang Yongchang, at this moment Hong Bingxun is embarrassed, sitting in a dilapidated tent, his body is as if covered with a layer of ash, and he is no longer the elegant Dajing Dynasty official of the year, in his heart, There's too much unwillingness in it. Hatred was slowly growing, but he knew that he was no match for Yang Yongchang.
Not to mention that he has just encountered this incident now, just because of the trust of Emperor Jiachong Zhou Dingding, he was also left behind by Yang Yongchang from afar, if he dared to say it at this time, then the only thing waiting for him was to go to that prison.
His merit is more reflected, the number of troops in its hands, but at this moment, when his army has been beaten like this, he feels that his body seems to be missing too much strength.
Just like this, Hong Bingxun has an inexplicable anxious mood, he doesn't even know what he should do now, especially looking at the insulting voices of those soldiers who lack clothes and warmth, this emotion is even more serious.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of notification outside, to say, Hong Bingxun can also be regarded as a minister who has made a difference, at this moment, even if it is like this, his big camp still has its own rules, but this is the best experience to measure ability, the ancient Xiliu Camp and so on, are not in the military discipline to put a lot of effort into it.
The people who came were blocked from the outside of the camp at the moment, but there was a lot of arrogance on their faces, and the clothes on their bodies were also announced, announcing their identity at the moment, this is the emperor's house slave, that is, the eunuch of the palace.
The people who can use them to deliver orders don't have to think about it to know who it will be, and when they see this scene, they will feel inexplicable in their hearts.
However, it is very good that at this moment, there is no room for Hong Bingxun to have many feelings, you must know that at this moment, he is still in a large sense, he is a very guilty person in this place, and he is waiting for the sentence at this moment.
At that time, when he heard the will, he finally retreated from the uneasiness in his heart, and he knew that at least at this time, his life was safe, and what he had to do was to do it later.
Although it is very difficult to use these armies to resist the army of the Yidi people, such a result is much better than dragging him outside and killing him directly, with a leeway here, Hong Bingxun can do a lot of things at this moment.
At least, he knew that it was the Yidi people who suffered a lot of losses that night, although their Hengsha army was defeated, but their own combat effectiveness was not so good for the Yidi people to cheapen, so he was more concerned about the problem of other things, but the so-called other situations, the first thing is what to do next.
Yes, what to do next, this thought lingered in Hong Bingxun's heart.
But fortunately, at this moment, the angels of the palace brought not only reprimands, but also a lot of rewards, when 200,000 taels of silver and a lot of weapons and armor were sent over, Hong Bingxun heard the feeling of everyone's cheers.
This is a great help, as long as there is a little money, the stability of the soldier these days is a guarantee to a large extent.
Then next, what else does Hong Bingxun need to do, yes, conscription.
No matter how the situation is stated, the 200,000 army has been sharply reduced to 70,000 troops, and the scene of this situation makes Hong Bingxun feel extremely embarrassed, and the only thing he can do is to go to a large-scale conscription.
Fortunately, it is close to the northern frontier, and the folk customs are very strong, although the soldiers who have just been conscripted, how much combat effectiveness they have, the problem is very big, but at this moment this is a completely negligible problem, the usefulness of these people is that as long as they can hold a knife.
This is a very flat feeling in Hong Bingxun's heart at this moment.
After all, it can be said that at this moment, he is an indifferent person.
With Hong Bingxun's decision, then the conscription activities in northern Xinjiang are imperative, all the people, are the first time to find out, their era, is so ruthless, Hong Bingxun with his army, and then everywhere to search for this young strong man, and then forcibly conscripted into the army, of course, not all people are forced, at least, there are many people in northern Xinjiang who sell their lives for a meal, in the cold season, when that cart of silver two weapons, When he was transported to the defeated army where Hong Bingxun was at the moment, he could finally take a long breath of relief.
After all, now Hong Bingxun has a shred of confidence in the face of the upcoming war.
While he was thinking about the future here, in the Dingyu camp, Liu Qing and the others at this moment welcomed a few special guests.
These people wore big hats, all of them looked arrogant, as if with a trace of the breath of the superior, came to the camp to give alms, the first one was a little servile, but the things flashing in those eyes made people feel a kind of disgust.
