Chapter 40: The Fierce Woman
As soon as Zhu Youlang's words fell, Li Yuanyin immediately understood that Li Chengdong had no chance to command the troops, but when he thought that Li Chengdong was in no danger of life, he still knelt down in front of Zhu Youlang with gratitude and kowtowed dozens of heads before leaving.
Zhu Youlang did not stop Li Yuanyin from kowtowing, and when Li Yuanyin left, Zhu Youlang untied his sword, changed his military uniform, and came to a map of Guangdong found in the office of the chief secretary of the government in Guangzhou.
At this time, Zhu Youlang thought that before Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao besieged Guangdong, they would be able to defend Guangdong, and then they would reform and develop and accumulate strength.
Under Zhu Youlang's early preparation, until the evening, more than 20,000 volunteers were organized into six foot battalions, and after the golden drum and flag weaving, they immediately brought back to the previous camp, and then collected all the weapons of the volunteers, and then, Chen Zizhuang transferred more than 1,000 from Jiao Lian to maintain military discipline.
After everything was finished, Chen Dashi reported the news to Zhu Youlang, Zhu Youlang did not expect that more than 20,000 people would be reorganized so quickly, thinking that the reorganization of volunteers was a model, Zhu Youlang asked Chen Zizhuang, Zhang Jiayu, and Chen Bangyan to come to meet.
And the news of Zhang Fulu and Quan Weiguo was also conveyed back, and the volunteer generals did not have much opinion, but they found that many of the volunteers had murders in their hands.
Regarding this, Zhu Youlang thought twice, but he ordered Zhang Fulu to find a fine relationship and give an official taste to the victims' families.
Half an hour later, Chen Zizhuang, Zhang Jiayu, Yulong, and Chen Bangyan came to Zhu Youlang.
"I will not see Your Majesty."
"Heroes, please get up quickly." Zhu Youlang quickly opened his hand and led them up: "When I see you, I know that there is hope for the Ming Dynasty." ”
Everyone blushed when Zhu Youlang said it, but they were self-aware, at best they were just a small pawn.
"Your Majesty is serious." They finally replied embarrassedly.
"You will be the generals in the Ming army in the future, this army is different from all ministries and divisions, and it is very different from the people, you know."
As soon as Zhu Youlang's words came out, they looked at each other, but they didn't know what Zhu Youlang meant, but Chen Bangyan looked at the people around him thoughtfully, and then stood up and replied.
"What Your Majesty said is really a good word to strengthen the army, think about the division of a hundred battles in all dynasties, all have strict military discipline, are not afraid of death, and the order is out, the soldiers must go, think about it, the new army of the Ming Dynasty under the leadership of Your Majesty, will revive the prestige of the Ming army."
Hearing Chen Bangyan's last sentence, biting him very hard, Zhu Youlang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Bangyan meaningfully.
"Chen Aiqing is right, but." Zhu Youlang dragged his tone: "This Ming Guowei is not only something that I can revive, but also depends on all of you're loyal." ”
"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone also understood what Zhu Youlang meant, which implied that they should be loyal to their duties and loyal to the emperor, and furthermore, the emperor should personally grasp the military power tightly in his hands.
"From now on, there will only be the army of the Ming military register, and there will be no righteous soldiers, the Ming army, that is military law, military discipline, no matter the generals, no matter the noble, dare to break the law, then deal with it according to law." In the end, Zhu Youlang gritted his teeth and shouted murderously.
Everyone's faces shook when they heard this, and then they all knelt down and shouted: "The general must abide by the military law, be loyal to his duties, loyal to His Majesty, and loyal to the Ming Dynasty." ”
They also understood what Zhu Youlang meant, especially the bones of Ding Kuichu and Wang Huadeng were not cold, this was disobedient, that was the meaning of a dead end.
Seeing that everyone was so superior, Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you have the best understanding of this, there are a few sets here, the actual record of military training, you all take it back and read it carefully, this military system of tactics, Luo drum banner, all have to be familiar, so that the soldiers can be like siblings." ”
After Zhu Youlang confessed, they left with their own thoughts, but just after they left, Zhu Youlang sent someone to announce their temporary appointment, and they all acted as training envoys and participated in the training.
Just when Zhu Youlang fell asleep, Li Yuanyin took over two people, one was Yuan Pengnian, and the other was Li Chengdong's concubine Yue Zhao Yingying.
Li Yuanyin thought that these two people could better persuade Li Chengdong, although it was already the third watch in the middle of the night at this time, Li Yuanyin was not anxious to take them to the small room where Li Chengdong was imprisoned.
"Father-in-law." As soon as Li Yuanyin saw Li Chengdong, whose face was pale, he knelt down and shouted affectionately: "The child is late." ”
"Hmph." Li Chengdong looked at Li Yuanyin with a slightly gentle face: "What are you doing here, I, a Qing minister, can't afford the heavy gift of you, a general." ”
"General Lee." Just as Li Chengdong spoke, Zhao Yingying, who was behind Yuan Pengnian, walked up to Li Yuanyin with a smile, her face instantly became firm, and she pulled out Li Yuanyin's saber violently.
"'Can't a husband cut his love?' Please die before you become a king. After speaking, Zhao Yingying kissed herself.
"Nope." Li Chengdong's eyes were about to burst, but Zhao Yingying was bleeding nonstop, and her eyes looked at Li Chengdong tenderly: "General, slave... Slave..... The slaves did not want to serve the Tartars. ”
"Ahh Seeing that the person in his arms had lost the breath of life, Li Chengdong screamed wildly, Li Yuanyin couldn't look at all this in front of him for a long time, and he couldn't imagine that this concubine who was plundered by Li Chengdong was so loyal.
"I am less than a woman." After a long time, Li Chengdong lowered his head and sighed.
"Father-in-law." Li Yuanyin looked at Li Chengdong with a little worry, Li Chengdong was about to pick up the sword in Zhao Yingying's hand and grabbed the money rat tail hair on the top of his head, and with a wave of the sword, the hair scattered behind him.
"Tartar, ha, ha, ha, I'm a member of the Han family, not a Tartar." Li Chengdong abandoned his sword and hugged Zhao Yingying tightly and cried bitterly.
Before Li Yuanyin could say anything, Yuan Peng pulled Li Yuanyin out with his hands and feet.
"Old Yuan, what are you doing here?"
"General Li, let the general be quiet." Yuan Pengnian looked at Li Yuanyin with an ignorant expression: "Didn't you report this matter to the emperor, Li Chengdong surrendered, oh, no, it should be anyway." ”
And this Yuan Pengnian thought about what this function brought to him anyway, he was more than the third duke, or the ambassador of the feudal territory, but he knew that Li Yuanyin had brought an army of 100,000 people, and the cavalry alone was more than 10,000 elite soldiers.
When Li Yuanyin sent back about Zhao Yingying's heroism, Zhu Youlang was also stunned, he couldn't imagine that there was such a martyr in the world, thinking of this, Zhu Youlang immediately gave Zhao Yingying a gift.
When Zhu Youlang's gift arrived, Li Chengdong came out and asked to see Zhu Youlang.
Half an hour later, Ding Siliang took Li Chengdong to Zhu Youlang.
"Li Chengdong, a grass citizen, has seen Your Majesty."
Hearing Li Chengdong call himself a grass citizen, Zhu Youlang laughed, and secretly said in his heart, this person really has political wisdom, but Zhu Youlang only replied lightly.
"Get up."
Seeing that Zhu Youlang did not mean anything in his words, Li Chengdong's heart sank, he had already guessed at this time that Zhu Youlang might not let him lead the troops anymore, even if he had already surrendered sincerely.
"Your business, I know, you should deal with Zhao Yingying's aftermath for a while, let these loyal martyrs go on their last journey." Li Chengdong just came together, but Zhu Youlang was the first to speak.
