Chapter 673: Exposed
Her Royal Highness the Queen......
Her Royal Highness the Queen likes to think as much as she wants.
The king of Zhennan is still as stable as Mount Tai.
And the capital is still a tense atmosphere of black clouds pressing down on the city, Jinyi guards arrest people everywhere, and the Yang family keeps training the militia, making the whole city like a military camp, and the guns and cannons on the city wall are constantly sounding, and the sky above the enemy capital is already filled with gunsmoke. Even the women, under the leadership of the nurses at the Yang Family Hospital, used the confiscated mansions in the city to build hospitals, relief centers, orphanages and even nursing homes......
This one is already there.
The Ming Dynasty originally had official charities.
During the Wanli period, a Wanping County Nursing Home alone adopted nearly 2,000 lonely and widowed elderly people.
And at the same time that the king of Zhennan pretended to defend against the enemy and carried out the purge, the Jingnan army, which had arrived in Jizhou, still stood still. Although King Shin had sent them an official order to attack the capital in the name of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, this huge army of 30,000 elite cavalry, including the Zhou Yuji tribe that had already arrived, did not cross the Wenyu River. Moreover, Zhang Shenwu and Zhou Yuji were still quite rude in Jizhou to ask for all kinds of benefits, what silver, wine and meat, even women, and those Mongolian cavalry they brought, and even went to the gentry's house to force ......
Of course, this is also to be expected.
The reason that soldiers are like bandits, those officials and gentry also understand that people are here to make a fortune, and if they want to make people work hard, they have to serve them well.
Bear with me!
Grit your teeth and tighten your belt, and the better days are ahead!
However, King Shin did not go north either.
Shin Oh was also very busy.
After issuing the proclamation, King Shin and his thinkers devoted all their energy to wooing officials from all over the world.
They were not prepared to participate in the attack on the capital at all.
This is Sun Chuanting's work, it is said that Sun Chuanting has gathered 50,000 troops in Liaodong, including some hastily put together, in short, he will take these 50,000 troops into the customs within a month at most.
He sent a letter.
It also vaguely reveals the meaning of persuasion!
King Xin is now full of ambition, just waiting for him to clear the palace for himself.
So for Shinoh, the most important thing now is to deal with those local officials.
The governors, the three divisions, the prefects, the commanders of each town, and even the feudal kings all sent letters from His Royal Highness Nobuyo, explaining to them the series of changes that had occurred in the capital, and the reason why Nobu had no choice but to come forward and ask them to obey the orders issued by the Shin Shogunate. In addition, there is also borrowing money from the vassal kings of the various domains, after all, there is money to contribute, and since the vassal kings have no power to contribute, then honestly do a good job of logistics and pay for it!
For the sake of the Ming Dynasty!
For the sake of our old Zhu family's world, uncles and uncles should hurry up and pay for it!
After all, King Xin is also short of money in Baoding, and if he doesn't have money, he will definitely not be able to play, so he can only cut meat from his uncles and uncles if he doesn't dare to offend the gentry.
As for those who don't pay......
I can't say it, are you still thinking about the two ends of the first mouse? Are you still thinking about it with Yang Yi? This is not right, the governors of various places need to investigate this issue well, and for those who collude with Yang Wei, even if it is the clan, His Royal Highness King Xin will not be soft.
If you should be caught, you have to be caught.
Then the officials and gentry in various places who were suffering from the pain of paying for group training immediately sharpened their knives against the vassal kings around them.
This was the beginning of this battle of martyrdom.
The war did start, but both in the south and in the north seemed to have forgotten what their real goal was, and all of them waited absentmindedly, pinning all their hopes on Sun Chuanting's army of 50,000 and, of course, Wu Xiang's subordinates, who had already sent a letter to King Xin, saying that he had gone north with his subordinates.
As for the battlefield where the real fight starts......
Principal Force.
"This battle is inexplicable!"
Luo always sat on horseback, looked at the battlefield in front of him and sighed.
Although the capital, which was the center of this inexplicable Jingyan battle, still has not had any fighting, and even has the style of a sit-down war, the skirmishes on the periphery of the capital have continued. Yongping group practice is pecking each other with the Yang family Ding in Luannan, but the former is pecked by the latter, and Hejian, and even part of the Jinan group practice, is also pecking at each other with the Yang family Ding in the new city, but the former is pecked by the latter. At present, it can be said that most of the regimental exercises in Beizhili are crowded around Yuankou, surrounded by volunteers, and even some of Shanxi's regimental exercises have appeared.
The Shanxi gentry are still very active.
These rabble, like a pack of wild dogs surrounding the lions, surrounded the 15,000 volunteers in this area centered on Yuankou, and then constantly staged a game of attack, rout, attack, and rout in front of the volunteers......
Every day.
No creativity at all.
"Their trick actually works!"
Chen Shangren, the deputy general next to Luo, said with a smile.
In front of them was once again dispersed by the cavalry of the Volunteer Army, these guys who even threw their weapons, in the pursuit of those cavalry with spears, ran with their farts and urine, and immediately squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and waited for the cavalry to rush over and then get up and leave.
These rabbles eat together.
Now winter, it is the most scarce time of the year in the north, at least in the spring can dig some wild vegetables, at this time there are not even wild vegetables, the poor everywhere are worried about how to get through, just those gentry began to spend money to hire a group to practice, such a good opportunity will certainly not be missed. But the war is nonsense, the wages they give are not worth their lives, those regimental drills on the battlefield are holding muskets and placing them indiscriminately at a distance of fifty zhang, just like setting off firecrackers during the festival, and the volunteers on the opposite side are scattered in an instant, and those who run slowly will hold their heads and squat.
The volunteers also did not take prisoners.
They are the chasers.
After the drive is over, they will go back, and they will have to take care of the food when they are caught, why should they be caught back, and as soon as they leave, the regimental trainers will regroup and go back to continue to mix rice, only those cronies of the gentry will really fight with the cavalry, but they are usually beaten violently, and then they are still scattered.
Now basically I don't fight, and I just scatter birds and beasts.
"What's the use?"
General Qi Guoping asked curiously.
He is Qi Bingzhong's nephew, who has returned to his hometown to retire because of his old age, but he took the Qi family to follow Luo Yiyi.
Luo Zheng's department is essentially a recruiting group in Gansu, these elite regiments that started in Liaodong are recruited by the generals themselves at the expense of the imperial court, and Luo has always been a Ganzhou Wei and must have recruited Gansu. Shaanxi Xingdu Division subordinate Hexi Corridor and Xining and other guards, this area is a vast and sparsely populated poor place, and the people are fierce, those young people just follow him out to fight and make money, he is Qi Bingzhong's old subordinate, it is impossible not to take the Qi family.
The Qi family is the Tusi of Qinghai Huangzhong, and the hereditary commander of Xining Wei is Tongzhi.
All the ministries are actually pretty much the same.
Zhao led the Ministry of Education to be a recruiting group in Longyou, and the young men and women in Longyou all defected to him as soldiers to make money to support their families.
Cao Wenzhao's department is the Xuanda area, You Shiwei's department is northern Shaanxi, Zu Dashou, Wuxiang is Liaoning, Mao Wenlong's department is a hodgepodge, Han, Jurchen, and North Korea have it, and even some of the Sauron and savage Jurchens under his command, it is said that there are several deserters from the Wa Kingdom and two fugitives from the Dutch East India Company.
"They keep tossing like this, and Sun Shoufa will run out of ammunition sooner or later."
Chen Shangren said with a smile.
"I'm afraid that they haven't exhausted Sun Shoufa's ammunition yet, and they will run away first."
Qi Guoping said disdainfully.
The odds are great.
"Xi Pingbo, the last general is a little puzzled, with Sun Shoufa their strength, there is no difficulty in hitting the capital, they are all cavalry, if they really want to go, it is estimated that they will be able to enter Nanyuan tomorrow afternoon, the front seems to be tens of thousands of regiments to train around them, but the real fight is still scattered in a hurry, it is estimated that there is no need to fight, 15,000 cavalry run, those regimental exercises have to be scattered, so why don't they go, why do they have to be entangled here like a play?"
Chen Shangren said.
Luo's consistent knighthood is Xipingbo.
His hometown is Ganzhou Wei, this Xipingbo was proposed by the king of Zhennan to Jiuqiansui, as for the reason is unknown, the king of Zhennan was already in Jiangnan when this group of people was knighted before, but I don't know why, I have to get involved, there is no need for Jiuqiansui to talk nonsense with him on this kind of trivial matter, so Luo has always been Xipingbo, Zhang Shenwu Yongningbo, these are all according to his meaning. The earl of Daming is a county earl, and there happens to be a Xiping County, as for Mu Ying's Xiping Marquis back then, which was a county marquis, that Xiping County is related to Luo Yi's hometown.
At this moment, a group of panicked group training came straight to them.
Their side is also in formation, Luo has always led the 8,000 cavalry of his headquarters to suppress in Xin'an, theoretically it is necessary to separate the warring sides and act as peacekeepers, but in fact, it is just to watch the excitement, and they don't care how these guys fight.
"Do you believe that Zhang Shenwu and Zhou Yuji will betray the king of Zhennan?"
Luo said consistently.
With that, he pulled out his short gun and pulled the trigger at the sky.
The next moment, the cavalry under his command immediately raised the spear in his hand, a dense forest of spears pointed forward, and those regimental exercises that were about to run to the front stopped one after another, and the first one looked at them sadly, and then looked back at the volunteer cavalry that was chasing and killing, and squatted down with their heads in their hands, and the other regimental exercises followed suit. Immediately after the cavalry chasing after arrived, the officer headed by the leader signaled his subordinates to stop, and then carried his spear and urged the horse into the middle of the regimental training, pulling with the spear as if looking for someone, and soon arrived at the side of the regimental training led by the leader, and picked his chin with a spear......
"Still hiding, you almost hit me this shit!"
The officer shouted.
"Master, you admit that you are wrong, it's really not small!"
The group said with a smiling face.
"Master, it's him, I saw that he was the one who fired at you."
A group practitioner next to him said.
The rest of the group practitioners identified this guy one after another, and there was no righteousness at all.
"Take your clothes off!"
The officer shouted.
The regimental trainer hesitated slightly, but then the spear poked at his chest, he was so frightened that he hurriedly undressed, and soon shuddered and confessed, and when the cold wind blew and froze, he quickly curled up, and the cavalry behind laughed, and even those regimental drills laughed, and the officer also laughed, and drew him with a spear shaft.
Then he looked up.
"Let's go!"
Then he said.
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and led his subordinates away.
The group hurriedly put on their clothes again amid the laughter of their companions, and the group looked at this side, laughed and turned around and left listlessly.
"Back to Xipingbo, the last general will not believe it."
Chen Shangren smiled and continued the topic just now.
Luo didn't speak, just looked at the cavalry who were far away.
The last general really couldn't think of any reason for the two of them to betray the king of Zhennan.
Zhou Yuji was brought out by the king of Zhennan, when he followed the king of Zhennan, he was only a military household in Jinzhou, and the two of them went to Yehebu to deliver a letter together, and the two of them dared to face the thousands of troops and horses of Daishan together, which was really born and died together. Zhang Shenwu is the same, followed the king of Zhennan and the two of them to Salhu to ask Jiannu to hand over Zhu Shichang, and the two of them ran to the camp of other people's houses to challenge, and they are all really living and dying together.
This is simply impossible.
This benefit is also impossible, even if the price of King Xin is indeed high enough, but King Zhennan knows how to his brothers, especially when they are like this, it is a real friendship of life and death, and they must also enjoy endless glory and wealth, for the sake of those things promised by King Xin, abandon the glory and wealth that will inevitably come to their hands, and go against their brothers who live and die together.
It's not that stupid.
What's more, who knows better than them what King Zhennan is capable of?
Are they confident that they can win against the king of Zhennan?
If you can't beat it, it's not righteous enough, and it's not cost-effective in terms of interests, so there's really no reason to betray. ”
Chen Shangren said.
"But they did arrive in Jizhou."
Luo said consistently.
"Xipingbo, have you forgotten how the King of Zhennan killed the Liaoyang gang back then? Have you forgotten how the king of Zhennan killed Wei Guogong in Nanjing? Have you forgotten how Gao Chongming was forced to rebel? King Zhennan is used to playing this kind of trick to lure snakes out of holes. ”
Chen Shangren said in a low voice.
Luo's expression was a little complicated......
"Let's go, go back to Tianjin, King Xin has already sent Sun Qifeng, the teacher he just recognized, to see Yixingbo, we can't jump into it knowing that it is a fire pit."
He said abruptly by standing up.
"Xipingbo ......"
Chen Shangren wanted to speak and stopped.
"There's nothing to hesitate about, who are we loyal to?"
Luo said consistently.
"Your Majesty."
Chen Shangren said.
"Where is Your Majesty?"
Luo said consistently.
"In the capital, it is said that he has recovered."
Chen Shangren said.
"Then what is this?"
Luo said consistently.
"Rebellion!"
Chen Shangren said.
"Then there is nothing to say, we are loyal to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a prince, no matter who is right or wrong, no matter what happens to the King of Zhennan in the future, but now, King Xin is plotting rebellion, can he continue to let His Majesty be the emperor if he wins, and can he keep the prince?
Didn't he already want to kill the prince last time?
Everything we have is given by Your Majesty, we are only loyal to Your Majesty, he fights with the King of Zhennan, we can stay out of the matter, but if we want to kill the prince and take His Majesty's country, we can't. ”
Luo said consistently.
(The book is finished at the end of the month, one chapter a day, I have to think about the new book)
