Chapter 285: Might
First, this newly built general town mansion is more than twice as large as the original, that is, Wang Zheng's mansion when he was the chief soldier of Denglai is also different from this.
The main hall in the mansion could only accommodate more than 20 people, but after the second expansion, it can now accommodate nearly 100 people.
The fire was mixed with spices, and after everyone entered, a faint incense came to their faces, and almost everyone looked around at the same time, carefully observing the main hall of the Dengzhou camp's usual deliberations.
On the one hand, he was observing whether there was any ambush, and on the other hand, he was a little curious about Wang Zhengwang Zongzhen, who was praised by the current emperor as the champion of the three armies, whether he was born with three heads and six arms.
It is a little strange to say, if it is other generals, there must be some vassal elegance in the hall of deliberation, so that the literati can see the comfortable and flattering things, but Wang Zheng is completely different here.
On the wall on the north side are hanging shiny medals, and there are no calligraphy, paintings, and antiques in the whole hall, but there are two stone lions standing outside the door.
Each medal hanging on the wall represents a victory of the Dengzhou battalion, which is equivalent to a merit book, and it is now a dazzling third of the walls.
Hearing the voices of these generals in admiration and surprise, the generals guarding the door were a little proud, and unconsciously straightened their chests.
"See the head town!"
After entering the door, seeing a person standing with his hands on the side of the north wall, everyone was silent for a while, and then reacted, and bowed with fists under the leadership of Qiu Lei, Qi Cheng, and Yu Yuanyi.
It's just that this voice sounded buzzing, and it was not as sonorous and powerful as the Dengzhou battalion generals in the past, Wang Zheng looked back and looked around, and said with a smile:
"You're all here, what kind of thieves can you encounter on the way?"
Qi Cheng was the first to come out of the queue and said a little flatteringly:
"Thanks to the blessing of the general town, along the way, the last general will only see the peace and happiness of Jing, the scene of people's livelihood and prosperity, where are there any thieves and bandits, I can't find it."
Seeing that Qi Cheng was the first, the rest of the generals from all over the country sneered a few words in their hearts, and then they all stepped forward and echoed in unison, only the deputy general Zhen Qiu Lei and the general Yu Yuanwu did not say a word.
Wang Zheng naturally noticed these two people, smiled and waved his hand, first glanced at Yu Yuanwu, and said:
"Yu Shen scattered all his wealth to resist the Dongyu last year, Liu Zeqing didn't investigate, but the town knew about it!"
"A few months ago, the town had already presented the military department, and the approval happened to come down today, I don't know if General Yu has any plans to work with the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion."
Yu Yuanwu was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and he didn't reply because he was a little worried, after all, how could a defeated general like himself, who could be the laughing stock of Shandong, enter the eyes of the dignified Shandong General Town Wang Zheng.
At this time, he was moved after listening to Wang Zheng's words, and he stood still for a while and didn't know what to say, which led to the generals in the field to quote again and again, and this Yu Yuanyu simply took shit luck.
Wang Zheng knew his thoughts, and he was not in a hurry at the moment, just stood in front and waited, the hall was silent for a long time, Yu Yuanwu suddenly knelt on the ground with an excited expression, clenched his fists and said loudly:
"The last general, Yu Yuanwu, is willing to follow the general town to overcome thorns and thorns, and kill the thieves!"
"Good!"
Wang Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, took a few steps to help Yu Yuanwu up, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"Wuding Prefecture is the northern main point, hand it over to you Yu Yuanwu to garrison, this town can rest assured!"
Looking at Yu Yuanwu's flushed face, Wang Zheng passed by him with a smile, his sharp eyes glanced at the court generals present, and said:
"Don't hide it from you, the territory of the six provinces in Shandong, the Dengzhou battalion has taken over and pacified the four prefectures, and the remaining Wengzhou Mansion and Dongchang Mansion, the Dengzhou battalion will send troops to take over in a few days.
Wang Zheng was full of smiles, but the words he said made people nervous all of a sudden, regardless of the panicked discussions of the people around him, he raised his tone and walked back to the north side, and continued:
"Shicai this town discussed with Futai and the supervising army lords, collected evidence, and knew everything about the soldiers and soldiers in various places disturbing the people and causing trouble, colluding with the White Lotus Sect, embezzlement and bribery, conniving at the rebellious soldiers to loot places, eating empty salaries, and so on!"
Hearing what Wang Zheng said, everyone present was a little nervous.
Speaking of this, Wang Zheng's eyes gradually narrowed, and he slowly glanced over everyone, his face gradually became gloomy, and he continued:
"You also know that the Dengzhou battalion only recognizes the military orders of the town, and while it is not too late, those who have made a list of those who are willing to dismiss the guilty soldiers can retain their original positions."
"The rest of them, who still don't repent of the above crimes, Wang should send troops to quell the chaos and calm the place!"
These military generals from all over the country are all soldiers and generals, many thousands, few hundreds, although they were suppressed by civilian officials in the past, but they also lived a fairy-like leisurely life, and they robbed if they wanted, and the general county officials and gentry often used the name of the army to win over.
Seeing that he didn't mean to joke, everyone broke out in a cold sweat and talked in a low voice, but no one dared to come out and refute anything.
Military generals deceive the people and eat empty salaries, these things are the same as the greed for money and love of face of civil officials, everyone knows that in this kind of rotten to the root, few people can be left alone, and even the court turns a blind eye.
If Wang Zheng has to take chicken feathers as an arrow, shake things out, and say that it is a rebellion by military generals, and then send troops to suppress it in the name of the Shandong general army and governor, then there is no way at all.
Everyone understands that if you report to the military department, you may still be rewarded by the emperor, and there is no reason to be killed as a thief.
Of course, there must be a premise for these things, that is, the absolute strength gap, and this is the case in the Dengzhou camp at the moment, since Wang Zheng dares to release cruel words, he has the confidence to solve it within a few days.
Although everyone was panicked, few people would naively think that the Dengzhou Battalion could do it, after all, so many heads and military merits were real.
Soon, after a fierce ideological struggle, it was this Caozhou general soldier Qi Cheng who came out first, and he forced himself to smile and clench his fists and said:
"The town has an order, and the subordinates should obey it, and the soldiers and ruffians who bully the people under him will go back and disband them all!"
After hearing Qi Cheng's words, Yu Yuanwu snorted coldly in his heart, this Qi Cheng is still a bully and afraid of things, when he came outside the city, he still called himself Zhentai, and when he saw the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion in the hall, he immediately changed his name to the last general, and now he directly said that he was a subordinate, and he was really cheeky and did not beat.
Qi Cheng is also known as the Caozhou General Soldier, and Wang Zheng's original Denglai General Soldier is an authentic miscellaneous general soldier, and the original Shandong territory is the most indispensable miscellaneous number.
Qi Cheng's miscellaneous name is not strong, in the past, when Liu Zeqing was the chief soldier of Shandong, he was congratulatory and acted according to orders, and now this miscellaneous general soldier is the first to jump out to support the policy of the general soldier Wang Zheng, and everyone is not surprised.
It's just that Qi Cheng, as the only real power miscellaneous general soldier in Shandong at the moment, has 4,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Wengzhou Mansion, and he is so afraid of the Dengzhou battalion, and he actually has a leading role among the generals in these places.
The military general, who was originally dissatisfied and prepared to disobey the yang and the yin, saw that Qi Cheng respected Wang Zheng so much, so he had to be even more jealous and think twice.
