Volume II, Chapter 67 The Seizure of Military Power

Tongzhou City, Shaanxi Army Barracks, several generals from Ganzhou Town gathered in the handsome tent, looking at the empty handsome position, their faces were cloudy.

Xianning Hou Qiuluan rarely came to the barracks, and it was normal for this handsome position to be empty, but this time it was quite abnormal, because Xianning Hou Qiuluan had entered Beijing and had not yet returned, and Yang Cong, the governor of Zhejiang, had already led his army to the outside of Tongzhou.

What's going on here?

Nobody knows.

They didn't even know whether to greet Yang Cong, the governor of Zhejiang!

Of course, just because they don't go to greet doesn't mean that others won't greet them, at the south gate of Tongzhou City, the elite of the Southeast Tunwei who had just arrived was still lining up outside the city, and the generals of the Shanxi Army opened the city gate under the leadership of the chief soldier Zhang Da, and rushed out to meet them.

Yang Cong saw Zhang Da coming from a distance, and when he took Tang Kekuan and other generals to greet him, he laughed and said: "Hahahaha, General Zhang, it's been a long time, you are still so heroic." ”

When Zhang Da heard this, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Your Excellency the Governor has won the award, General Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Everyone is an acquaintance, and there is nothing polite to be polite, after everyone exchanged a few words, Yang Cong asked solemnly: "What about Qiu Luan's gang, do they have any changes?" ”

Zhang Da said with a little disdain: "What can they do, it's just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, even if the Shaanxi army really listens to their command, they can't command it, not to mention that they are not popular at all." At this time, they are nesting in the north camp of the city to discuss countermeasures, and it is estimated that they will not be able to discuss any countermeasures. My lord, why don't you take someone to serve them in a pot? ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "If you bring people over to arrest them, won't they lead the crowd to resist?" ”

Zhang Da still said with a little disdain: "They usually know how to oppress their subordinates, who listens to them." In the Shaanxi army, the only ones who are really loyal to Qiu Luan are these rice buckets and the hundreds of guards under Qiu Luan. At this time, Qiu Luan's personal guards were either taken away by Shi Yi or by himself, and the other soldiers of the Shaanxi Army hated them so much that they hated them, how could they follow them to fool around. ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he waved his hand without hesitation: "Okay, let's go together and take over the Shaanxi Army first." ”

So saying, he got on his horse, passed through the south gate, and went straight to the north gate.

Behind him, the generals of the Southeast Army and the Shanxi Army all turned over their horses without hesitation and followed, and behind them, there were thousands of guards accompanying them.

Such a huge team pressed over, and several of Qiu Luan's cronies and generals naturally received the news early, what are these people doing here, they also have a rough idea in their hearts, Yang Cong led the crowd to come, it is very likely that he came to seize their military power!

They also wanted to lead the people to resist, but the problem was, they sent out a few of their personal guards, but there was no movement in the barracks!

"I don't usually burn incense, I cram for a while." , does it work?

Usually, they know that they are bullying their soldiers, and at this time, they want their soldiers to follow them to fight against Yang Cong, the famous governor of Zhejiang, is it possible?

If the Tartars come, the soldiers of the Shaanxi Army may still follow them to resist, and Yang Cong, the governor of Zhejiang, is here, and the soldiers of the Shaanxi Army want to line up to welcome it.

Revolt?

Are you kidding!

So, a strange scene appeared, Yang Cong's side, there were thousands of people together, and the momentum was huge, but the camp in the north of the city, which had tens of thousands of people, was quiet, and there was no sound at all, and even the people standing guard at the gate of the camp ran away!

Obviously, the officers and soldiers of the Shaanxi Army did not want to mess around with the cronies and generals under the Hou Qiu Luan of Xianning, in order to avoid Yang Cong's misunderstanding, they didn't even care about the camp gate, and almost all the soldiers hid in the camp tent to watch a good show.

Yang Congxiong came to the tent with a group of generals and personal guards, and several cronies and generals under the Marquis of Xianning Qiu Luan ran helplessly and said: "The last general will see the governor." ”

These guys, I don't know how much food they have embezzled, they all eat fat heads and big ears, like a group of pigs.

Yang Cong glanced at them, and there was a feeling of boredom in his heart for no reason.

He didn't bother to talk to these guys, so he directly raised his hand and waved, shouting, "Take it." ”

Yes!

Several of the cronies and generals under the Marquis of Xianning Qiu Luan were shocked and said, "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this? ”

What do you mean?

Yang Cong said directly and loudly: "The emperor has an order, the Marquis of Xianning is a traitor to the enemy, and the crime is unforgivable. ”

This!

They really didn't expect that the Hou Qiuluan of Xianning had already been planted, looking at the flattering appearance of the eunuch who passed the decree two days ago, the Hou Ye was clearly going to be added to the official rank, okay?

This is actually a small trick played by Yang Cong, the reason why he asked Jiajing to block the news and keep it secret after taking down Xianning Hou Qiuluan is to prevent these cronies and generals under Xianning Hou Qiuluan from gathering to make trouble.

The so-called "many injustices will kill themselves", these people, usually be kind to their subordinate soldiers, maybe they can gather people to resist, the problem, they usually don't treat their subordinate soldiers as people, and they don't deduct food and salary, and they are not soft at all, so that their subordinates can't even eat, at this time, who will come forward to help them, and the officers and soldiers of the Shaanxi Army don't high-five Xiangqing, it's good.

Yang Cong watched a few fat-headed and big-eared generals take them down, couldn't help but snort coldly, and then put his hand back and strode into the handsome tent.

The layout in this handsome tent, even Yang Cong, who is accustomed to seeing luxurious scenes, is speechless, generally he doesn't talk much about pomp and circumstance when he marches and fights, and the handsome tent is just a little bigger than other camp tents, as for the layout inside, there is nothing surprising.

This Xianning Hou Qiuluan's handsome account is different, with Yang Cong's professional vision, it can be seen at a glance that everything in it is worth at least one hundred taels or more.

For example, the handsome chair is made of high-quality ebony at first glance, and the whole tiger skin on top of it is very valuable.

For example, the incense burner, at first glance, is carved from pure copper, not to mention its processing costs, the copper itself is worth a lot.

There are also calligraphy and paintings hanging in the handsome tent, which are all written by famous artists, and even the ground is covered with wool blankets!

Qiu Luan, how much food and salary has been embezzled!

He sighed secretly in his heart, and then sat on the handsome seat and said loudly: "Order, order Ganzhou, Yulin, Yansui three towns of Qianzong, generals and above, to come to the handsome account quickly." ”

Qiu Luan's cronies and generals couldn't recruit people, but his orders were surprisingly good, and it didn't take long for the grassroots generals of the Shaanxi Army to arrive.

However, they all looked frightened, as if they were afraid that Yang Cong would suddenly go berserk.

Yang Cong didn't get mad, he just glanced at these generals lightly, and then said loudly: "The Marquis of Xianning is treason with the enemy, and the emperor has already ordered it to be taken down, do you disagree?" ”

Who is not convinced, that guy, he should have been cut with a thousand cuts a long time ago!

Yang Cong saw that all the generals were silent, so he nodded slightly and said: "Well, it's good if you don't disagree, in the future, Zhang Da will be the chief military officer of Shaanxi, and you all have to listen to his orders, you know?" ”

Fortunately, the Governor did not kill them all.

When the generals heard this, they hurriedly arched their hands and said in unison: "The last general obeys the order." ”

At this point, all the military power in Tongzhou City was controlled by Yang Cong.
