Chapter 490: Your Majesty Doubts Me
"Your Majesty is suspicious of me!"
This is the first sentence that Liu Renyu said in a few days after seeing the commendation document sent by the imperial court, when he said this, his face sank like water, and his expression did not change at all.
When the bigwigs in the conference room heard the words of their own general, they were silent, and no one answered.
"Yo, all the chief military officers are in important positions, let's say a word, no one cares, right!?" Liu Renyu saw that his subordinates had never answered, so he seemed to smile instead of laughing, and said such a sentence coldly.
The bigwigs of the Jingbian army were already sitting on pins and needles and were not very comfortable, but now when they heard that their generals were coming out like this, they naturally felt as if they had been burned by fire, and they bounced up from their seats, one after another, strung together in a line, and knelt down at the table in the conference room, kowtowing like pulling garlic.
"Dashuai, you know the amount, the amount is to be a small soldier under you, and it is more comfortable than the chief soldier of the imperial court." Zhang Tieniu is a real person, and what he says is also true.
"You know that I, Li Jiye, if you doubt me, I will go home and commit suicide." Li Jiye's mind is more active, and his words are particularly ruthless.
"In a word, if you are suspicious, then you will be relieved and returned to the field, and I only hope that the marshal will reward a few acres of thin fields." Yang Desheng saw that Liu Renyu doubted himself and others, and suddenly had the idea of understanding Jia and returning to the field.
The above three are all general military officers who were specially promoted by the imperial court, which is clearly stated in the court's commendation documents, and it is clearly written, speaking of which, these people are at least the same as Liu Renyu in terms of grade, because after they received such awards, although they somewhat understood that this was the imperial court dividing them, but they didn't know what Liu Renyu thought about this matter, so they were all worried in their hearts, for fear of seeing Liu Renyu.
And Liu Renyu's behavior at this time undoubtedly deepened their doubts, because they all hurried to show their loyalty, otherwise if they were really suspected by Liu Renyu, they were afraid that the spies on the side of the News Investigation Bureau would take action.
"Hehe, a few brothers laughed at it, Your Majesty did this on purpose, to separate me and other old brothers, it's okay, it's okay, you wait and be relieved, I didn't take it to heart." After listening to the statements of Li Jiye and others, Liu Renyu suddenly smiled slightly.
His smile was suddenly like a warm current, driving away all the cold in the conference room, and at the same time, the haze in the hearts of Li Jiye and other generals was also dispelled, and the smiles returned to their faces, and their hearts that had been hanging in the air for a long time were finally let go.
"You don't have to worry, you are all old brothers, I can trust you, but Your Majesty can't trust us anymore. Speaking of which, among the nine sides, we and Guan Ningjun are a little bit interested.
Guan Ningjun has a lot of money from the imperial court, and it can be regarded as eating the food of the imperial court, we have no father and no mother, so we rely on ourselves to eat a full meal, fight the northern captives, fight the slaves, fight the thieves, and be loyal to the court, but the iron-blooded Danxin did not exchange for His Majesty's favor, but brought vigilance. Liu Renyu smiled and said.
Liu Renyu diverted the topic and talked about another thing, and everyone's minds immediately turned, and no one mentioned this little episode before.
"Marshal, everything we have been doing is not what a courtier should do. In the past, our reputation was not obvious, there were few people staring at us, and some things could not reach His Majesty's ears.
Nowadays, we have fought all over the thieves in the north of the Ming Dynasty, the northern captives, the slaves, and they have not tasted defeat, and the reputation has long spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and there are many people staring at us, some things, if they are good, they can also be passed on to be bad, if they are not very good, then they can be passed on even worse. As soon as Liu Renyu's words fell, Li Jiye said.
"Dashuai, since we started to follow you, our thoughts are clear to us, Your Majesty suspects that it will be a matter of time before we do, according to the meaning of the forehead, you might as well take us into the capital now.
The soldiers of the north, we have all seen it, the so-called strongest Guanning iron cavalry of my Ming Dynasty, that is, if our army marches into Beijing, there is no opponent around. Zhang Tieniu felt that he was suspected by the imperial court anyway, so it was better to simply reverse it.
"Heh, Tie Niu, what you said is too wrong, at this time, if you enter the Beijing Division, you will definitely bear the reputation of a rebellious minister and thief, and the army of King Qin in the world will attack our army, and our army will be under the fortified city, and the back road Yansui will be captured by King Qin's army again, and then we will not die without a place to be buried, and this will not be said again." Liu Renyu waved his hand and categorically denied Zhang Tieniu's nonsense.
"That big handsome, since Your Majesty suspects us coming, don't you have to watch out for us everywhere, it is said that a father-in-law from the imperial court is going to come to our Yansui to supervise the army, and when the time comes, we are afraid that our every move will be directly monitored by the imperial court, and it is inevitable to shrink back." Yang Desheng said worriedly.
"What are you afraid of, the backer of the prison army is the imperial court, it is Your Majesty, the court is strong, Your Majesty's heavenly power is unpredictable, then this prison army can naturally restrain us, but what is the court like now, and how is the Ming Dynasty like,
Don't you know, think that during the Jiajing period when my Ming Dynasty was in power under the master of the temple, there were Beiyu in the north who fought all the way to Beijing, and there were Japanese invaders in the southeast, so Liu Wu and Liu Liu rebelled and were quickly pacified.
It was when Wei Eunuch troubled the imperial court, and the thieves in Shaanxi failed to succeed, and now, just a few mud legs can stir up the northwest of the Ming Dynasty for six years, and the court is like this. According to General Brauchitsch, Chief of the General Staff of the German Empire, a certain Western military strategist, my Ming Dynasty is like a building that is rotten to the bone, and it only needs to be touched lightly to collapse.
The building of Daming, where His Majesty's family has lived for more than 200 years, has been dilapidated, and it is time to collapse, but we are the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and we dare not destroy the Ming Dynasty with our own hands, so this matter naturally needs to be done by people who are not the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty. ”
When Liu Renyu said this, he suddenly turned to Chen Danqing, the director of the Bureau of Investigation, who had been standing aside silently, and said, "Danqing, how are you greeting those thieves?" ”
"According to your orders, the lowly officials have used all the methods that should be used, and they have made life worse than death, and they only hate their father and mother for giving birth to this world." Chen Danqing said expressionlessly.
"Very good, so did you choose the person I asked you to find?" Liu Renyu said again.
"If you go back to the big handsome, they are all selected, one of them is called Liu Liangzao, and the other is called Huo Shuguang, both of whom are members of the Social Democratic Party, with good academic performance, strong political skills, and flexible minds, which can be of great use." Chen Danqing replied.
"Very good, you can't be wrong with the person you chose, ask these two to come to me in two days, I want to remind them, and in addition, the families of these two people must be taken care of, understand?" Liu Renyu said.
"Humble duty understands." Chen Danqing replied.
"Very well, gentlemen, in fact, although Your Majesty is in control of the life and death of almost all of my Ming, he himself is always in fear, he is afraid that someone will take away his power and take his life.
For example, those of us who are only a small military general who can fight, he has to treat us as An Lushan, Shi Siming came to watch out, thinking about it like this, he is really tired.
But then again, His Majesty has the leisure to watch out for us, but it is because his old man thinks that the thieves have been completely pacified, the internal worries have been removed, and the only thing left is the external trouble of Jiannu.
Hehe, let's give Your Majesty a big surprise right away. It's time to let Li Zicheng and these giants out, and then His Majesty will know,
His world has decayed to the extreme, his army is vulnerable, and the righteous men and gentlemen he relies on are just grass on the wall, ready to change masters and come again.
Daming is about to usher in a new situation, and what we release will be a huge energy, and whether we can control this force depends on our strength.
Ladies and gentlemen, time is running out, and we must now secretly expand our army and territory in order to cope with the great changes that have not been seen in the two hundred years of our Ming Dynasty. Liu Renyu said in a loud voice.
"Yes, Marshal." When the generals heard that the army was going to be expanded, they couldn't help but be extremely excited, and their voices were extremely excited when they answered.
"Marshal, expanding the army, the end general can understand, after all, we have just brought back hundreds of thousands of displaced people from Shanxi, although people can choose from it, but where to start with this expansion of territory?" Li Jiye obviously couldn't understand what Liu Renyu said about expanding the territory.
"Yes, Dashuai, you are just the chief soldier of Yansui, if you go to the sky, you can only manage the place of Yansui, and you can only manage military affairs, although we are said to be the chief soldier by the imperial court, but they are all in Shandong, Jingshi and Liaodong are close to the left, and our hands can't be inserted!" Zhang Tieniu also said incomprehensibly.
"Hey, gentlemen, I naturally know this, we naturally can't grab the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but there are still many places in the north, such as the place of the Mongols, the vast grassland, which is not the place of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Tzu wants to take you to grab it, how about it?" Liu Renyu said with a smile.
"Fight the Beiyu, that's good, that's good. It's been a long time since I've eaten serious Northland mutton and drunk authentic Mongolian mare's milk wine. ”
The generals of the Jingbian Fort Army have always thought that Jiannu is the most difficult to fight, and the thieves are the best to fight, and the northern captives are far from catching up with Jiannu, so they are just a little stronger than the thieves.
"Dashuai, when are we going to fight the northern captives, and will we set off tomorrow?" Zhang Tieniu rubbed his hands and asked with a look of hope.
"Ha, Tie Niu is in such a hurry! This matter is not busy, you still have to expand the army first, now I don't have much money next to Yansui, but there is a lot of money, even if you expand by tens of thousands of people, it's not impossible, gentlemen, your soldiers and horses can be expanded to 10,000 people, otherwise how can you be worthy of the title of your chief military officer. Liu Renyu said with a smile.
"Yes, Marshal."
The generals responded happily, and then they dispersed, looking for their mother-in-law, and those who drank flower wine went to drink flower wine.
