Chapter 27: Seizure of power

On the erection day, in the council hall of the government office, in addition to Ye Xun and Gao Ying, there were two deputy thousand households of Tielingwei, and four hundred households of Yuan Kaiyuanwei.

The atmosphere was good, at least everyone had a smile on their faces.

These four hundred households and the more than 1,000 soldiers of Kaiyuan Wei voluntarily stayed, the reason is that not only can they see that they are more motivated to follow Ye Xun, but also when they were originally in Kaiyuan, they basically belonged to a category of people who did not have any assets to worry about, and with Ye Xun, the treatment was much higher than that of the original Kaiyuan Wei, why not!

In a sense, these more than 1,000 people can already be regarded as Ye Xun's private soldiers, this phenomenon is very common in the generals of Liaodong, and it can be regarded as an open secret.

Moreover, these more than 1,000 are still all cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the soldiers of Tielingwei.

But there is also a problem, that is, most of the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty are generations of military households, if no one is held accountable, it is okay, if someone is investigated, they will become a veritable deserter.

Gong Quanan had already explained this matter to Ye Xun when he left, but Ye Xun didn't take it seriously, on the one hand, he was a copycat eunuch and did not have enough understanding of the seriousness of this matter.

On the other hand, Ye Xun still has some understanding of the officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty, especially in Liaodong, where wars are frequent, and it can be said that it is not difficult for these more than 1,000 soldiers to completely become his people.

However, Ye Xun is obviously not satisfied with only a thousand people under his command, and he still needs greater power.

One of the two deputy thousand households is surnamed Chang and the other is surnamed Song, both of whom are natives of Tieling.

The two deputy thousand households can be said to be surprised and happy about Li Rulong's sudden death, originally Li Rulong was temporarily promoted as a substitute for the dead ghost, and there is not much foundation in the army, no one will care too much about whether he dies or not, but as soon as he dies like this, the position of Tieling Wei Zhenfu will be vacant.

Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and in their minds, only by climbing to a higher position can they get more silver, and the same is true in the army.

According to the normal establishment, there should be two guards in a guard, but because of the constant attacks and harassment of the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, few people are willing to come to Tieling to be officials, even if they are forcibly assigned by the Ministry of War, they will try their best to transfer them, and even some simply resign and do not do it.

Therefore, Tielingwei originally had only one remaining suppression, and was taken away by Li Ruzhen before the Battle of Salhu, and after Xiong Tingbi withdrew Li Ruzhen in Shenyang, by the way, Li Ruzhen's subordinate generals were also detained in Shenyang, and re-disrupted the formation, and dispersed to the subordinates of He Shixian, the chief soldier of Shenyang.

Now that the temporary promotion has suddenly died, and the military headquarters does not send a new suppressor, it should choose one of the highest-ranking people in the two guards.

In Liaodong, because of the rise of Nurhachi, each guard station often faces wars, so there will be eunuchs guarding the town, but the eunuchs are not directly in charge of the army, but more often play a supervisory role, so the two of them didn't think about Ye Xun at all.

And these four hundred households are different, they are willing to take the risk of being treated as deserters to stay, just to follow Ye Xun to fight for a future, and Ye Xun also promised them, as long as he is there, no one will say that they are deserters, they just got separated on the battlefield, and finally were recruited by Ye Gonggong again, ready to serve the country again.

How can you say that eunuchs have great energy, and it has always been their strength to distort the facts.

Looking at the eager expressions of the two deputy Qianhu, Ye Xun couldn't help frowning secretly, he knew that this would be the case, just kill these two guys.

Thinking about it, it is definitely not possible to do it, things can not be repeated, Li Rulong can be said to be an accident, if he dies again, it will be self-defeating.

Gao Ying also saw the thoughts of the two, so he took the lead and said: "Generals, the matter is urgent, this official suggests that Gonggong Ye should act as the commander of the guard, and wait for the orders from the military department and the economic strategy department to pass over, and then make a decision."

Hearing Gao Ying say this, Chang and Song were dumbfounded, according to their level, they are bigger than Gao Yingguan, but under the magical system of the Ming Dynasty, it is not that you can manage things with a high grade, and you have always been a noble and lowly martial artist, so although Gao Ying's grade is not as high as theirs, what he says has more weight than them.

Both of them also knew that Ye Xun was now in the hearts of the military and people in Tieling, and it was not something they could compete with at all, but this was obviously not in line with the system of the Ministry of War.

Chang Deputy Qianhu secretly glanced at Ye Xun, and said carefully: "Lord Gao, this, this seems to be a little out of order!" ”

Ye Xun didn't think about resigning, he glanced at the four hundred households with a smile, and then turned to the two unwilling deputy thousand households, and said, "The two generals think that our family is breaking the rules of the imperial court?" ”

With Ye Xun's gaze, the hands of the four hundred households involuntarily pressed on the handle of the knife, and the eight eyes stared at Chang and Song viciously, obviously as long as Ye Xun gave an order, they would be cut into pieces.

In this case, Chang and Song reacted slowly, but they could see what was going on, what kind of military situation was discussed today, it was obviously this Xiao Ye Gonggong who wanted to seize the military power of Tieling.

Understand what can you do, at the moment of life and death, the two deputy Qianhu made a choice in an instant, and almost in unison bowed and saluted: "I am willing to obey the father-in-law's order"

Ye Xun smiled indifferently, suddenly raised his voice, and said, "Liang Zhen, Zhang Qike?" ”

With Ye Xun's words, the two people who had been waiting in the hall for a long time hurriedly strode up, knelt down on one knee, and intervened: "See father-in-law"

Ye Xun ignored them, but turned to Chang and Song, the two deputy Qianhu, and said: "Since the Tartars attacked the city, these two people have followed our family to make many military exploits, and now is an extraordinary period, and extraordinary things must be done, so let the two of them temporarily assist the two generals in handling military affairs, and hope that the two generals will help more."

Chang and Song, including Gao Ying, didn't expect Ye Xun to come to this hand, these two people are just a general banner that has not entered the stream, let them follow the two deputy thousand households to sort out military affairs, this is not a simple violation of the rules, but this little eunuch seems to have no idea what the rules are in his heart.

The three of them looked at each other for a while, and finally Gao Ying said: "I should obey my father-in-law's order, but these two brothers have no grade, if they are rashly promoted to a high position, I am afraid that the brothers below will not accept it!" ”

Ye Xun smiled slightly, and said: "Promote the two of you to a hundred households, our family is ready, and when we turn around, we will order someone to send it to the Ministry of War and the Department of Economic Strategy, and the other two thousand households don't need to worry, our family sent them to you, not to seize your power, but to verify the situation of the soldiers."

"When I was in the capital, my family heard that there were many guards in the guards, and the officers were paid empty salaries, so the father-in-law of the celebrant was prepared to investigate this matter thoroughly in accordance with His Majesty's will, and the two of them were both deputies before, and you were not in charge of the matter, so there is no need to worry."

Hearing this, everyone realized that the knife of Gonggong Ye was still pointing at the Li family! Since it is not to seize power, then everything is easy to say, anyway, the Li family has fallen, and no one cares about making up for two more knives.

Ye Xun didn't know that the door of the celebrant was opened from that side, so what was the will of a thorough investigation? It's just that Ye Xun is continuing to make excuses for his constant breaking of the rules, and no one will really go to the celebrant to confirm it anyway.

Motioning to Liang Zhenhe and Zhang Qi to stand up, his face turned pale, and said: "The task is handed over to you, I hope you don't let me down, don't let the court down."

"Obey the Official Order"

The two replied in loud voices, what could be more pleasing than being promoted...
