Chapter 523: Countermeasures

"How?" Chen Song turned to stare at the captain of the guard, his face unkind.

The military discipline of the Dengzhou Army was strict. In combat operations, subordinates are categorically not allowed to question the commander's military orders.

Although the pro-guard system is directly under the leadership of the pro-guard battalion, it still cannot arbitrarily question the military orders of the commander-in-chief.

On this battlefield, the fighter planes are changing rapidly, which can make everyone talk about it. The great leader, Lord Wang, often said, "The worst decision in battle is not to make a decision." ”

"Chief Officer Chen, there is a lot of ingenuity in this. Please allow your subordinates to borrow a step to report! The captain of the guard handed over his hand to report.

"Oh. Come with me! Chen Song beckoned to him, and went to the back room with the captain of the guard.

The captain of the personal guard calmed down and reported carefully: "Chief Officer Chen, these dogs who are traitors are not the old brothers of our Dengzhou Army, they are all the newly recruited Dongjiang soldiers of the original Fubiao Battalion. The subordinates thought that if they were all killed like this, would it chill the hearts of the new recruits. ”

"All these bad things are from the Fubiao camp?" Chen Song asked again knowingly, and he wanted a definite news.

"Back to Chief Chen's words, it is absolutely true! Everyone in the subordinates verified them one by one. The captain of the guard said firmly.

"Haha! Why didn't you say it earlier. It has hurt Lao Tzu's heart to be on fire for so long! I thought that our Dengzhou Army was now in bad military discipline. Chen Song suddenly became happy.

"Hey, don't I care about the two generals, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming. I'm afraid that they think that our Dengzhou army is intolerant! If so, how will you recruit heroes from all over the world in the future! The captain of the guard said matter-of-factly.

"You kid, you think a lot. But that little bit of face is a piece of! Lao Tzu didn't kill them all at once, so it was polite. Can the faces of these two fucking generals be bigger than the military law of our Dengzhou Army? Bullshit! Chen Song said unceremoniously.

"Chief Officer Chen is right! I really didn't expect that much! "The captain of the guard is a little embarrassed.

He scratched his head, and said flatteringly: "Then the subordinate will escort Chief Officer Chen and kill all these dogs!" Anyway, it wasn't the people who killed our Dengzhou army. ”

However, his fart was obviously slapped on the horse's leg. After Chen Song heard this, his face darkened suddenly.

He rolled his eyes and said, "It's enough for me to say this sentence here." As long as you enter our Dengzhou Army, you are your own brother! As for those who do something wrong and break the rules, they naturally have to be dealt with according to our military discipline and regulations. You don't care where they come from. ”

"Chief Chen has learned a lesson. Then let's go! "The captain of the guard is convinced.

"Don't be busy! Let me think about it......" Chen Song suddenly had a flash of inspiration and spun around the room.

After a few moments, they returned to the lobby from the back room. Chen Song glanced at everyone, and then he said to Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming: "Two generals! I just checked that these soldiers who are traitors are all brothers of our Fubiao Battalion. Behold, how is this to be done? ”

As soon as they heard Chen Song's words, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming suddenly became nervous. Just now they were still secretly complacent, and their hearts said that this Dengzhou army was nothing more than that.

Unexpectedly, these traitors turned out to be all their own brothers.

However, they are all selfish people, so naturally they will not speak for these lowly soldiers. Kong Youde first said: "Chief Officer Chen, since we are loyal to the Dengzhou Army, we naturally obey the general's military orders. Everything is up to General Chen! ”

"Everything is up to General Chen!" Geng Zhongming, the "King of Huaishun" in history, was also a clever guy, and he quickly surrendered his hand.

Anyway, they don't care about these lowly soldiers, as long as they can keep their glory and wealth, Chen Song loves to kill, then kill them!

I have heard before that the military law of Dengzhou is strictly prohibited, and if they cause trouble themselves, they have to bear it themselves, as long as they are not implicated. Kong Geng and the others are both thinking like this.

"Oh, you all think so? Well, let's continue to be imprisoned and handed over to the brother troops in the back to deal with! Chen Song finally made up his mind.

"Chen, Chen......" Although Zhou Yuntai felt that it seemed inappropriate to deal with it like this, he still stubbornly stuffed back the words that had been said in his throat.

As soon as the second day passed, leaving a thousand generals with a thousand soldiers to wait for the Dengzhou army to "attack", Chen Song led the remaining "rebel" army and continued their great cause of attacking the city and killing officials, fighting local tyrants and killing inferior gentry!

The officials and gentry and wealthy merchants of Jing County were ordered by Chen Song to be killed in the name of the rebels.

As for the soldiers of the former Fubiao Battalion who were traitors and criminals, they were left to the fraternal units under the banner of the Dengzhou Army.

In the words that Chen Song told Zhou Yuntai: All the bad things are done by the rebels, and all the good things are done by the Dengzhou army!

In just eight days, the Dengzhou army under the command of Chen Song, dressed in the skin of a rebel, successively conquered Jingxian, Fucheng, Wuyi, and Hengshui at lightning speed.

These places have been peaceful for a long time, and the defense is lax and the defense is weak, and there is no decent resistance at all. Often, as soon as Chen Song arrived with the army, as soon as he could line up the guns, the city gate was easily blown open.

The operation routine in each place is the same as that of Jing County, first killing all the main officials and wealthy businessmen and landlords such as the magistrate of the county and the prefecture, and then taking all their property and property.

Chen Song kills talents, whether you have the fame of showing talents, lifting people or jinshi. Of course, it doesn't matter how awesome your fellow countrymen served in the court in the same year.

After all, he is now commanding a "rebel army"! Since it's a rebel, of course you can do whatever you want, right?

After following Chen Song's army to conquer three more cities, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming completely turned into well-behaved kittens.

After witnessing with their own eyes the far-reaching and thorough plan of the Dengzhou Army and the courage and meticulousness of its actions, they knew that there was no turning back!

Now they are the little fish on the board, and they have to listen to the Dengzhou army if they want to kill or chop them. Even if Chen Song wanted to kill them, these two wanted to die less painfully, and they had to cooperate and pose well.

According to the spirit of the great leader Wang, who has always eliminated evil, Chen Song also ordered that all the scoundrels who usually oppressed the people should be arrested and imprisoned in the Yamen prison, so that the He Han army behind could be suppressed under the banner of the Dengzhou army.

After three or four states and counties attacked, Chen Song's department was already familiar with this routine!

For a time, the civil and military officials and wealthy merchant landlords in the surrounding prefectures and counties of Wuqiang, Shenzhou, and Xinji were all terrified.

Because, according to the person sent to inquire about the news, this group of rebels is specialized in killing civil officials and gentry. As long as the castle of the city is captured, the fate of waiting for these officials and lords will definitely be ruined!

And what is chilling is that none of the dignified guards and soldiers have resisted head-on.

Therefore, the surrounding counties and governors hurriedly issued long-overdue military salaries and salaries, urging the officers to prepare to defend the city; On the one hand, he also asked people to pass the book quickly, and hurried 600 miles to Beizhili and the imperial court to report the news of the rebels' rebellion.

For several days in a row, dozens of urgent newspapers were sent to the cabinet elders and Emperor Chongzhen like snowflakes.

The situation described in the recital is even more shocking and terrifying for people from top to bottom.

In the Taihe Hall of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the emergency report on the imperial case, and his eyebrows were tightly locked. Several cabinet ministers in the hall also bowed their heads and remained silent.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen asked in a tired tone: "Everyone, Aiqing, is there a way to deal with it?" ”

In recent days, Emperor Chongzhen is really irritable and tired. In eastern Liaodong, there were full of prisoners besieging the Daling River, and in the northwest, there were also homeless people and thieves.

Originally, I wanted to transfer the Dengzhou army to Liaodong to defend against the Manchus, but I didn't expect to be blocked by the ministers of the DPRK and China for a long time. The reason is also extremely ridiculous, saying that Wang Rui will be a master and a martial artist will interfere in politics.

Later, there was really no troops to mobilize, so he reluctantly agreed to let Dengzhou Town send troops. He Ruzhong, Qian Xiangkun and others also strongly advocated letting the Dengzhou Fubiao Battalion send troops to defend against the enemy.

In their minds, since the soldiers and horses in Dengzhou Town are powerful, the Fubiao battalion must not be bad. Then let's go with the standard battalion and Wang Rui's soldiers and horses.

As for the displaced people in the northwest, according to the opinions of the ministers, they can be appeased.

Emperor Chongzhen also agreed with this proposition. There is no other reason, on the one hand, because he is soft-hearted, on the other hand, people who say it will be known to future generations, that is, he Chongzhen and the court are poor. No money!

A penny can not only stump the heroes, but also the dignified sons of the Ming Empire!
