Chapter 286: Six Mansions Become One
A few months later, the Dengzhou battalion has been in charge of four of the six provinces of Shandong.
Whether it is a soldier, a regular soldier or a salt ding of the inspection department under the jurisdiction of the Dengzhou battalion, it has a well-known name in the local area, and the system is hierarchical, but at that time, the battalion of the official army was the most strict, and its combat power should not be underestimated.
I heard that Wang Zheng and Zheng Hongkui, the second-in-command of the Zheng family, still have transactions in Fujian and other places, and they have also traded with Zuoying in the past, and there are also big celebrities in front of the current emperor in the court, and Wang Chengen, the first chief eunuch of the inner court, is protected.
Thinking of this, the generals also understood why the Caozhou General Army would disband the troops, but it was not willing, let people give up the rights and soldiers they already held in their hands, which no one would like.
But the real thing is that no one in the field has the strength to fight against the Dengzhou battalion, and when the decision continues, he suffers from it, Wang Zheng only needs to communicate with the inner court celebrant and the military order, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the Dengzhou battalion will rush to various places to forcibly take over.
Whether it is the court or the local yamen, there are people to help Wang Zheng, and the matter of the local army generals plotting rebellion and chaos will be properly confirmed, not to mention that the current rights cannot be retained, their lives will be lost, and there will be nowhere to take them in if they cry.
At least Wang Zheng still talks about some affection, as long as he takes the initiative to stand up, he can keep his position, leave some family members and live without worry, as long as he does not commit adultery, the people in the Dengzhou camp will not look for trouble again.
Under Wang Zheng's repeated soft and hard measures, the garrisons, thousands of generals, and even staff generals and guerrillas in various places all came out one after another to echo them, some said that they were willing to hand over a part of the deducted military salaries, and some said that they were willing to disband the troops, and they all fully cooperated with the Dengzhou battalion to take over the place anyway.
However, everything could not go on smoothly all the time, there were always a few fish that would fish in a pot of soup, and more than a dozen generals did not express their position, and stood still without saying a word.
"Qiu Xiezhen, don't you stand up and say something?"
Wang Zheng noticed that Qiu Lei, who was standing at the front, finally looked at Qiu Lei with a smile after everyone else finished speaking.
Hearing this, Qiu Lei sneered and didn't say much.
At this time, there was a sudden shouting of killing in the mansion, and the generals in the hall thought that there was a mess and lost their color, and they hesitated to face each other, but they heard Wang Zheng sigh heavily, and said a few regrets.
He took a few steps forward, shook his head and said:
"Qiu Lei, Qiu Lei, there are so many mistakes, you shouldn't stir up trouble at this time, don't say anything about hurting innocent people, and you can't turn over."
Suddenly, the generals found that a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist came in from outside the door, carrying a person who looked like a family member and walked towards Qiu Lei.
At a glance, in fact, many of the generals present knew this person, it was Dong Youyin, one of the right-hand men under Wang Zheng and one of the four regular commanders of the Dengzhou battalion.
The commander of the four major soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion, each with more than 1,000 soldiers, divided into towns and four directions, followed Wang Zheng for many years, has long had a small reputation in Shandong, and each of them should not be underestimated.
Yu Yuanwu looked at Dong Youyin deeply, and saw that he was tall and tall and walked vigorously, even when he walked, he was loud, and he was not reckless with the Dongyu Tartar he saw last year.
"This is Dong Youyin, it is rumored that when he gathered people to attack Pingdu Prefecture in the Wenxiang Sect, he led two hundred Dengzhou battalion soldiers to guard the city gate, and stubbornly blocked the attack of thousands of displaced people, he was really a great general."
"Who said it wasn't, Qiu Lei was afraid that it would be miserable~"
"Who did he get in?"
Qiu Lei heard the voice behind him and knew that someone was coming, and when he turned around, he saw that the person Dong Youyin caught in was his own family officer.
When the news came out that Wang Zheng had convened the generals from all over the country to discuss the matter, Qiu Lei had already guessed that he was going to take power, so he naturally didn't want to be tied up, so he had already instructed the soldiers to prepare secretly, intending to capture Licheng today.
But listening to the shouts and killings that disappeared outside, and then looking at the half-dead family officers, Qiu Lei knew that the matter was exposed, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Suddenly, he drew his hidden short blade and stabbed at Wang Zheng!
However, Wang Zheng remained standstill, oblivious to the impending danger.
Seeing that the short blade was about to be stabbed in Wang Zheng's back, Qiu Lei laughed, thinking that the great work was about to be completed, but suddenly heard Wang Zheng sigh in front of him.
It was at this moment that Dong Youyin took a few steps forward, pinched Qiu Lei's wrist steadily with his big hand, and gradually exerted force, Qiu Lei was in pain, his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and the short blade in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".
Immediately after, Dong Youyin kicked up violently and kicked Qiu Lei's knee with a strong wind, and in a blink of an eye, Qiu Lei, who was still laughing not long ago, had already fallen to his knees behind Wang Zheng with a miserable howl.
At this time, Wang Zheng, who was standing with his hands in his hands, still didn't even move.
Seeing this scene, except for the dozen or so generals who did not come out of the queue in a panic, the rest of the people felt a little happy, Qiu Lei was originally stationed in Wucheng, and he was always unruly with a little military exploits, Liu Zeqing transferred him not to move, and he was also a disobedient to the governor Yan Jizu.
Although his position is a general, no one looks down on him, and even if he is killed, no one will intercede for him.
......
The gathering at the end of August of the twelfth year of Chongzhen was convened for the first time since Wang Zheng became the general army of Shandong, and all the generals of the imperial court from all over the country participated, but there were no generals of the Dengzhou battalion.
After this gathering of generals, the Shandong generals who came to participate in the meeting lost one deputy commander-in-chief, four garrisons and 12 thousand generals, and more than a dozen rebellions were suppressed in various places, and a total of thousands of rebels were captured and beheaded.
Not long after, the main soldiers of the Dengzhou Battalion marched into the city of Wengzhou under the leadership of Xing Yidao, and spread to the entire state and county guards of Wengzhou Prefecture in the next month.
At the same time, the territory of Dongchang Mansion also ushered in a battalion of soldiers and horses, led by a guerrilla named Shao Yong, who took over the city of Dongchang Mansion with regular soldiers, and controlled the entire Dongchang Mansion within half a month.
It's not that Shao Yong's efficiency is faster than that of a knife, although Dongchang Mansion and Wengzhou Mansion are both government governance, but they are very different, just from the perspective of the size and complexity of the region, Wengzhou Mansion is two to three times that of Dongchang Mansion.
When the time came to the beginning of October, the current Dengzhou battalion had controlled the entire six prefectures of Shandong, and the previous establishment was now a little chaotic.
Therefore, on the third day of October, Wang Zheng summoned Li Yan, Guan Qingtian and Gu Junen and other staff officers of the Military Council Department to discuss for days, this time he was just talking about one thing, that is, the details of the formation of the Dengzhou battalion.
At present, the subordinates of the Dengzhou battalion are afraid that there are more than tens of thousands, not to mention the water camp, which can no longer be called the battalion, and the various departments are only subordinate to the total scale of thousands, which also seems to be messy, and those Zhuangtian Nursing Institute and the salt of the inspection department must also be given a proper name.
The six provinces of Shandong are thousands of miles long, which is no longer small, and it is difficult for Wang Zheng, who has no details to think about everything, and he has to ask the military council department, and it is difficult to make a complete plan for a while.
