Yuan Chonghuan is not tall, his face is dark, and he always locks his brows, so he doesn't speak, giving people a feeling of being unapproachable. Fastest updates

Since receiving the holy decree, he spent a month to prepare, mainly to send a batch of military rations to Datong, which is also a gift that he supervised Datong to bring to the border army of Datong, and gathered the hearts of the soldiers.

On the other hand, he brought Cao Bianjiao and Hong Chengchou, the right-hand men selected by him in the extermination of the thieves, and left Sun Chengzong and Zuo Liangyu to continue to watch Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who were hiding in the mountains.

The defeat of the Liukou made Yuan Chonghuan famous and made him more ambitious, so as soon as the emperor consulted him about the war in Liaodong, he recommended himself without hesitation and asked to supervise Liaodong.

Speaking of which, he was not on a whim, Yuan Chonghuan had been paying close attention to the war in Liaodong when he was the prefect, analyzing the previous wars of the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, as well as the characteristics of the use of troops. Over the past few years, he has formed his own set of plans in his mind on how to fight against the Manchus and recover Liaodong.

Defeating Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong made him more confident in his ability to use troops, so he dared to pat his chest and promise the emperor that he could level Liao for five years and use his head as a guarantee.

After everything was ready, Yuan Chonghuan took Cao Bianjiao, Hong Chengchou and other cronies to take the first step, and the heavy grain and grass brought by him were escorted by a large team of people and horses behind.

This time, Yuan Chonghuan came to Datong to supervise the division, not only with food, but also with 20,000 troops. The 20,000 horses were all the elites trained in the process of exterminating the thieves in the past six months, and they were regarded by Yuan Chonghuan as the fundamental support of his Pingliao.

For the border army, Yuan Chonghuan was distrustful. In his opinion, the main reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to retreat in the confrontation with the Manchus was the erosion of the border army. Of course, the root of the erosion of the border army is that the generals at all levels of the border army are incompetent and incompetent in fighting, but they are all good at deducting military salaries and supporting their families.

Therefore, when he went to Datong this time, he was ready to go on a killing spree and rectify the border army and Datong officialdom.

Therefore, when the sentinel guards came to tell him that the civil and military officials and gentry of Datong were waiting to greet him in the ten-mile pavilion outside the city, Yuan Chonghuan's face darkened.

"Tell them that they are all scattered, and that each of them will go back to his own office and perform his duties. The Governor himself entered the city and called them together when the time came. Yuan Chonghuan ordered with a frown.

"Yes, Overseer!" The outpost guards turned their horses and ran backwards.

The civil and military officials of Datong had all thought about what to say when they saw this Inspector, and many people were busy sorting out their clothes and hats so as not to be rude in front of the Inspector, but they ushered in the news that the Inspector did not stop and entered the city directly.

This made everyone stunned, this Yuan Inspector was too faceless, so many people waited for him under the sun here for a long time, and he disappeared without saying a word.

At this moment, many people finally remembered the other meaning of the title of the black-faced superintendent, and they all looked embarrassed and overwhelmed.

Li Yongnian, the general soldier of Datong, stood in place and thought about it for a few breaths, suddenly smiled, and then with a wave of his hand, he was the first to disperse, and rode back, and all the generals behind him also followed.

The remaining group of civil officials were at a loss for what to do, and they all looked at the prefect of Datong.

Mu Zuo was stunned for a moment, stomped his feet and got into his carriage, and went back to Datong City.

The two bigwigs of Datong's civil and military affairs left, and the rest of the people had to disperse, leaving only a few messy footprints.

After Yuan Chonghuan and his entourage entered Datong City, the first thing they did was to come to the Datong border army camp and beat drums to gather generals.

The rapid sound of drums resounded throughout the barracks, and the smallest people who were eligible to enter the big tent were all garrison-level generals.

After everyone entered the big tent of the Chinese army, they found that Li Yongnian, the general soldier of Datong who had been sitting behind the handsome case, was also standing in the first position on the left, and they were all a little surprised, but no one dared to say anything, and they all quietly found their position and stood up.

After a while, Yuan Chonghuan turned out from behind the big tent, and when he came to the handsome case, he frowned and glanced at the generals in the tent.

Cao Bianjiao and Hong Chengchou stood proudly on both sides of Yuan Chonghuan.

"Are you all here?" Yuan Chonghuan said the first sentence.

"Returning to the Governor, the generals above the garrison have arrived." Li Yongnian, the chief soldier of Datong, came out to reply in the ranks.

Yuan Chonghuan nodded, a trace of disappointment seemed to flash in his eyes, although it disappeared quickly, but it was captured by the delicate Li Yongnian.

Doesn't this Master Overseer want everyone to be there? It seems that he is looking for someone to open the knife and make an example of the monkeys. Thinking of this, Li Yongnian's heart lifted and warned himself to be more careful, and never become the chicken used to set an example for monkeys.

In fact, Yuan Chonghuan hit this idea. He knew that these border army generals would have contempt for him, a civilian supervisor, so he planned to establish the prestige of his supervisor from the beginning, and wanted to find an unlucky guy to accept and make an example of the monkey.

It turned out that these people were lucky, and no one hit the muzzle.

Putting aside this thought, Yuan Chonghuan beckoned, and Hong Chengchou next to him hurriedly took out a long brocade box from his arms and held it to Yuan Chonghuan with both hands.

Yuan Chonghuan opened the brocade box, took out a roll of gold silk silk, and said in a loud voice: "His Majesty the Emperor is here, and the generals will accept the order!" ”

When the generals heard this, they hurriedly turned around and knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "Wait for the minister!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan opened the silk silk and read aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Liaodong has been eroded for decades, so that the eastern captives are raging, the city has fallen, and the people are miserable, and I feel ashamed of my ancestors." Yuan Qing Chonghuan, the secretary of the current military department, is loyal to the country, has both civil and military skills, and is specially appointed as the governor of Liaodong, and leads the war in Liaodong with the title of Hongwenge college student, and should be controlled by both civil and military. If there is a person who violates the law, you can use the sword of the Son of Heaven to do the thing of cutting first and then playing, please this! July 14, 32nd year of Daming Jingrun. ”

When the generals heard this, their hearts were suddenly awe-inspiring, this Inspector still had the Son of Heaven Imperial Sword, which undoubtedly controlled the power of life and death for everyone in the tent.

"Did you hear me?" Yuan Chonghuan closed the holy decree, glanced at the kneeling crowd, and asked coldly.

"Your Ministers obey!" Everyone hurriedly said in unison.

"Respectfully, the Son of Heaven!" Yuan Chonghuan handed over the holy decree to Hong Chengchou, and said to Cao Bianjiao next to him.

Cao Bianjiao unwrapped the long strip of gold wire behind his back and held it to Yuan Chonghuan with both hands.

Yuan Chonghuan unwrapped the gold wire, took out a long sword with golden light, the scabbard and the hilt inlaid with precious stones, and held it in both hands and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's command: When you see this sword, you will be here in person." Those who wield swords can act on my behalf, kill the disobedient, and report to me afterwards. ”

The generals heard the words of beheading and disobedience for the second time, and their hearts were even more awe-inspiring, but they didn't dare to say anything on their faces, so they hurriedly bowed their heads and knelt down in unison: "The ministers must obey Your Majesty's instructions, and from now on, they should take the lead of the Inspector!" ”

Seeing everyone so respectful, Yuan Chonghuan once again experienced the beauty of power, and smiled with satisfaction, but quickly disappeared.

After receiving the Son of Heaven Imperial Sword, Yuan Chonghuan was high and handsome, wearing a phoenix-winged gold-topped helmet, the red tassel on the top of the helmet was as bright as blood, a set of exquisite and precious mountain armor on his body, wearing the Son of Heaven Sword around his waist, his black face was frowning, and his majesty was indescribable.

"All the generals dispersed first, and General Li stayed to speak." Yuan Chonghuan issued his first password after taking office.

After the generals left, only Li Yongnian, the general soldier of Datong, remained in the tent.

"Mr. Li, the governor has heard of you a long time ago, and knows that you are a tiger general, from now on, you can help the governor and fight hard to level Liao, are you willing?" Yuan Chonghuan looked at the head of the Datong generals who was tall and had a calm and restrained face, and tried to squeeze out a smile to make himself look gentle.

But as everyone knows, once a person like him who doesn't usually like to laugh smirks is even more awkward.

Li Yongnian reined in his thoughts, hugged his fists and said: "Return to the Governor, the last general should fully cooperate with the Lord." ”

Yuan Chonghuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mr. Li, sit down and speak." ”

After Li Yongnian sat down, Yuan Chonghuan also let Cao Bianjiao and Hong Chengchou sit on his left side.

"General Li Bing, the last time the city was besieged by the Eastern Captives, why did he retreat on his own after three days? Can the reasons be identified? Yuan Chonghuan got straight to the point, and the first thing he asked about the last war was in his first sentence.

Li Yongnian pondered for a moment, then organized his words and said: "Returning to Lord Inspector, after the last general investigated, he found that this matter was quite related to the team led by a person surnamed Jiang. ”
