Chapter 524: Nan Mingguo's Provocation
Zhang Qiang's love affair with Zhu Panpan is not long, no matter how much Zhang Qiang likes Zhu Panpan, he can't really put the military affairs aside, the Huaxia Army still needs him at the helm, and the threat faced by the Huaxia Army is not small.
Even if the civil affairs have Zhou Congee and Zhu Dadian, his property steward has Zhu Dayou, and the army has Wei Wuji, but many things still need to be nodded by himself, and he still needs to refer to them in detail before they can be finalized, so in less than half a month, Zhang Qiang came out of Wenrou Township and went back to the court to discuss matters.
Of course, what the last court meeting said was definitely not as large-scale as the last time, but only a dozen military generals and cabinet secretaries in the center discussed the government with Zhang Qiang, grasped the general direction, and then specific things were done by specific people.
"Su Guansheng, this old courtier, is too hateful, this person not only controls the government of the Southern Ming Dynasty alone, but also shouts with us, in recent months, all kinds of means to make things difficult for us have been used, and under his call, we went south to Li Dingguo's mission to be blocked by them, beaten and scolded, and even blackmailed and threatened, and also made a life." Mi Lin indignantly handed over the information in his hand to everyone, and scolded Su Guansheng in his mouth.
Wei Wuji leaned forward, clenched his fist, and knocked on the conference table in the small conference room, "Not only that, but for our troops stationed in Xiangshan and the Trench Gate, the Nanming Army is all kinds of difficulties, buying and selling food, they deliberately raise the price, or let the common people make things difficult and play tricks on our soldiers, so five soldiers were detained by the local county government, we went to find someone to mediate several times, they ignored it, and finally it was a local businessman who was friendly to us who came forward to bribe the master of the local magistrate, and then released the message, And they also set up a military camp under the castle of the governor's palace in the original moat, blocking the road, and our castle guard camp could not communicate with the outside world. ”
Zhang Qiang silently listened to their words with a teacup, and his heart had reached the extreme of patience with Nanmingguo, and he was also a little indignant, although he suppressed them and pit them before, but he still brought them on the right track, so that they could develop and grow, but now that they have no enemies, this began to swell, thinking that if it wasn't for the Huaxia Army to rescue them several times, they would have destroyed the country a long time ago.
It seems that some people can't do it without banging.
"Have we asked Su Guansheng and Zhu Yujian about these?" Zhang Qiang asked a diplomatic squire beside him, because Zhang Liang went to Li Dingguo, so Zhang Qiang called his deputy, the squire.
"I have sent an envoy to inquire, but their attitude is bad, the envoy can't see Su Guansheng and Zhu Yujian, so they have to go home, this matter has been reported to Lord Shangshu through the flying pigeon message," Shilang said.
Huaxia Army is a particular attention to the difference between the upper and lower, the lower can not cross their own chief officer to report the situation to the top, only some particularly important things can be directly reported to the upper by the subordinate, such as Zhang Qiang directly summoned, or the chief officer directly issued an order, when I am not there you can directly report the situation to the superior, but generally no one will say this publicly, because the superior does not want his deputy to cross himself, the deputy is generally staring at his position, once he makes a mistake or other circumstances, The deputy is really the strongest contender for his position.
Zhang Liangke, who used to be the chief eunuch, knows these situations best, although he is reassuring and quite good in terms of handling things, but in these aspects, he will definitely not be so generous.
Zhang Qiang nodded and didn't ask again.
Wei Wuji continued: "And Feng Wuyu also said, the Southern Ming Army has recently shown signs of troops forcing Guangzhou Mansion, they have stationed more than 30,000 troops in the county capital around Guangzhou Mansion, and there are signs of continuous transfer of troops to Guangzhou Mansion, according to the intelligence of the intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Department, some of the Tusi army of Yungui that was incorporated by the Southern Ming Army, as well as the Ming army of Li Dingguo's Ministry who defected to the Southern Ming State have also been transferred to Guangzhou Mansion, according to the intelligence summary, it is concluded that about 300,000 of these miscellaneous troops will be transferred to Guangzhou Mansion, and the various borders with us. ”
Zhang Qiang frowned, "So, does Nan Mingguo want to start a war with us?"
Jin Sheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't you dare to start a war, maybe they want to explain to us through this posture that they are the orthodox country, and the country belongs to their Zhu family, maybe they can't fight us, but cross the border and burn a village, lead the cattle, scourge whose girl, disgust us, if we investigate, they will say that the military discipline of these troops transferred from other places is not good, and when the time comes, punish individual soldiers, the army commander at the bottom, or even a bottom inspection or something can perfunctory us, This is the usual trick of those officials. ”
"It's too scoundrel, they have robbed our caravan five times, nearly one million Huaxia dollars of property has been lost, many people have complained to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce about Nanmingguo, and these caravans also used local connections to put pressure on officials, but the situation is the same amazing, those officials are either no longer, or send officials to do a perfunctory thing, and cheat to eat and drink, and finally the loss is not recovered, but they extorted a lot of property, this is their two ends to eat us, today I heard everyone say, I understand, This is Nan Mingguo's preparation to fight with us, fight, we must fight, and tell them that we are not easy to bully. ”
Zhu Panpan, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, also wore formal clothes to the meeting, because the Huaxia Army was not a feudal dynasty like the Southern Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, so all along, the Huaxia Army did not have the court uniform of the previous dynasty, nor did it have the uniform of officials at all levels, but Zhang Qiang usually wears a set of military uniforms in the army, and the military uniform is the kind of straight and fancy military uniform that imitates the European soldiers, so many people are proud of wearing military uniform-style clothes.
Officials also wore modified military uniforms, not the kind of official clothing of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Qiang really didn't have time to think about it, to stipulate, which led to many people just like the Republic of China period, there was a scene like a tunic on the street, and even like the founding of our party, the streets were full of pedestrians wearing military uniforms without accessories and no military rank identification.
Zhu Panpan is wearing a blue double-breasted shirt similar to Zhang Qiang's military uniform, with white stripes on the edge of blue trousers, and a shirt similar to a small shoulder on the upper body.
Zhu Dadian also expressed his solidarity with his daughter, "I have ordered the suspension of military cooperation with Nan Mingguo, withdrawn the instructors, and suspended the contracts of the officers trained by the Ministry of War, expelled their training personnel, and ordered the arsenal and artillery factory not to provide them with artillery, guns, and ammunition.
In the past, I was going to open up the manufacturing technology of the Jingai-2 arquebus to them, but now I have ordered the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Defense to stop cooperating with each other, and all the weapons sold to them will be stopped, and not even a single bullet will be sold to them. In the future, the captured guns, ammunition and artillery will be sent to the factory for recuperation, and the captured guns, ammunition and weapons stored in the warehouse will not be sold to them again, so I suggest that they be provided to the Ministry of Military Intelligence, so that the Ministry of Military Intelligence can find bandits or some ambitious generals in the Southern Ming Army and sell them to them, so that they can cause trouble for Su Guansheng and Zhu Yujian. ”
Zhang Qiang's heart jumped, okay, this old man has done enough for his daughter, but Zhang Qiang supports it, and he is plotted by others and does not fight back, that is not his doing, if he had known earlier, it would definitely be the case, not only that, but he also decided to increase the support of the Ministry of Military Intelligence for some ambitious generals on the territory of Nanming, and let them make trouble.
