Chapter Twenty-Six: Inspector Yuan who almost broke his thigh
In Datong City, Yuan Chonghuan, who was dressed in military uniform, inspected the Datong city defense measures surrounded by a group of generals, Datong prefects, general judges and other civil officials, and pointed out the places that needed to be rectified while looking. Fastest updates
In the army behind him, Sima took out a charcoal pen and recorded it at any time.
Yuan Chonghuan was a Geng Jie, and the army was more severe, and he found several serious problems, and the officials in charge of the department were punished at that time, some were fined, some were demoted, and some were dragged down to be punished with a cane, without mercy, and the screams of the punished people made the Datong civil and military forces who followed behind him tremble, and some people subconsciously touched their hands to the back, as if the military staff was hit on their buttocks.
Seeing the civil and military officials behind him silent one by one, Yuan Chonghuan snorted coldly in his heart, he just wanted to use this iron fist to eliminate all kinds of shortcomings in the border army and prepare for his five-year Pingliao plan.
At present, he has not used the knife for the most serious problem of eating empty wages and drinking soldiers' blood, this problem involves the interests of many people, and once it is not done, something big will happen.
He wants to use these small problems to knock these people first, so that they can restrain themselves. Then wait until he has a firm foothold in Datong before he starts to poke the tumor, and even if there is chaos, he will be sure to deal with it safely.
Moreover, thinking that his own confidant Hong Chengji was very hopeful of bringing back a new force with strong combat effectiveness this time, which made him feel more confident.
The best and easiest way for a general in the army to establish his prestige is to fight, and to win the war. As long as you can lead everyone to victory, the people below will obey you.
Yuan Chonghuan himself can have such a prominent status and prestige today, it is by fighting wars. So, he knows this very well.
He also understood that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the border army and convince these arrogant generals, he had to fight with the Tartars, and the scale and results must be large, so as to convince the people below.
This time, he brought 20,000 elite officers and soldiers who followed him to defeat the Liukou, if Hong Chengchou can successfully recruit the horse thieves surnamed Jiang, with his own ability, it is estimated that Pingliao will have some relief in five years.
A horse thief leader can defeat the Tartars repeatedly, and it seems that the so-called invincibility of the Tartars is just an excuse for the border generals to give themselves incompetence. Could it be that he is not as good as a horse thief leader?
Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan was even more energetic.
At this moment, his personal commander came to his side and said in a low voice: "Master Inspector, General Soldier Hong is back and is waiting in the big tent of the Chinese army." ”
Yuan Chonghuan's expression perked up, and he immediately ordered the civil and military forces behind him to perform their duties, and he hurried back to the Chinese army's big tent with Cao Bianjiao, completely ignoring the strange look on the face of the commander of the pro-army.
After Yuan Chonghuan came to Datong, he lived in the big tent of the Chinese army in the border army camp, and did not go to the mansion prepared for himself. This in itself showed an attitude, so the other generals did not dare to go home, so they had to live in the army.
As soon as he lifted the curtain of the tent, before he saw Hong Chengchou, Cao Bianjiao's voice shouted: "Lao Hong, the superintendent is back, you hurry up and tell your good news to make the superintendent happy." ”
He is an old acquaintance with Hong Chengchou, so there is a lot of casual talk.
Yuan Chonghuan was in a good mood, and he didn't care about Cao Bianjiao's rude behavior, and walked into the big tent with a smile, looking at Hong Chengchou with expectation.
But seeing Hong Chengchou, who had always been confident and calm, sitting there with his head down, as if he hadn't heard a sound, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied and coughed.
Only then did Hong Chengchou raise his head, and when he saw that it was Yuan Chonghuan, he hurriedly got up and said, "The last general is rude, please forgive the Inspector." ”
Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, and sat down on his handsome chair to signal Cao, and Hong and the two also sat down.
Hong Chengchou didn't sit down, took a step forward, bowed to the ground and said loudly: "The last general will have the expectations of the superintendent, please let the superintendent surrender!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he looked like this, he walked out of the handsome case and helped Hong Chengchou and said, "Heng Jiu, why is this?" But seeing that Hong Chengchou's face was full of shame, and his frustration was beyond words, he was not at all like the scheming, confident and calm Hong Chengchou in the past.
Cao Bianjiao also found out that something was wrong, got up and walked over and said in surprise: "Lao Hong, what's wrong with you?" How did it become like this? ”
Facing the inquiries of the two, Hong Chengchou's lips moved, full of bitterness but he didn't know where to start.
Yuan Chonghuan's face sank, knowing that something must have gone wrong, and gave the commander of the pro-soldiers a look.
The commander of the pro-soldiers understood the intention and led people to guard the gate of the big tent to prevent others from entering rashly.
"Heng Jiu, as a dignified chief soldier, how can you be so depressed and depressed because of trivial matters, how is this trip, let's talk about it in detail, otherwise the military law will be engaged." Yuan Chonghuan sat back down on the handsome case, with a black face, and scolded loudly.
Hong Chengchou was indeed hit by Jiang Chuan this time, he was always proud and confident, not only did he not complete the task, but he was also intimidated and ridiculed by the other party, and finally left the weapons of the hundreds of personal soldiers in his entourage there, which made him feel that it was really a great shame in his life, so he was full of frustration and anger along the way, and he always wanted to see Inspector Yuan without face, so he was so out of shape.
was scolded by Yuan Chonghuan like this, he finally came back to his senses, looked at Yuan Chonghuan, couldn't help crying, and told what happened to his line.
Cao Bianjiao was taken aback, thinking to himself what happened to Lao Hong, he was ruined by someone as a rabbit? Why are you crying?
After listening to Hong Chengchou's words, he was so angry that he shouted angrily: "A horse thief leader dares to be so arrogant and arrogant, dare to insult the supervisor and Lao Hong like this, the master of the superintendent, the last general asks for his life, and is willing to take the people of the headquarters to suppress this horse thief, and arrest the boy surnamed Jiang to sacrifice the flag!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan listened, his black face became even darker, his brows tightened, and his hand was about to break his thighs under the handsome case that no one saw.
Although this Yuan Inspector does have the ability, he is really not a person with a lot of energy. Jiang Chuan's attitude towards Hong Chengchou has already made him a great shame at this moment.
When he was about to throw off his arms and do a big fight, he was so humiliated by a small horse thief leader, and his mood fluctuations were definitely no less than Hong Chengchou's.
For a moment, his heart was completely filled with anger, and he almost threw out the token, gathered the generals, and went to destroy this group of horse thieves surnamed Jiang.
But who is Yuan Chonghuan? In just half a year, he was promoted from the first and fourth prefects to the second rank of Shangshu, became a college student of Hongwen Pavilion, and supervised the fierce man of Liaodong.
This kind of rocket-like promotion speed is probably rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
By what? In addition to his abilities, he also has great endurance.
So, he forced himself to calm down by pinching his thigh, and began to think about something behind this incident.
The Lord should not be angry and rejuvenated, Yuan Chonghuan knows this very well. Maybe what the other party did was to provoke him.
So do you now have the capital and ability to fight on two fronts?
The answer is definitely no, so I can only endure it for the time being.
Yuan Chonghuan quickly made a decision, swept over the faces of the frustrated Hong Chengchou and the angry Cao Bianjiao with an unusually calm gaze, and said coldly: "This matter is over here, and it must not be spread outside." ”
Cao Bianjiao had to say more, but looking at Yuan Chonghuan's black face and knowing his temper, once he made a decision, he definitely didn't like the people below to talk too much, so he had to close his mouth and walk to the side and stomp his feet angrily.
