Chapter 456: Camp Roar
"Of course, this has a lot to do with letting the officers and soldiers go into the city for repairs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Lin Yi replied, "If you think that Yuan Chong has fornicated with Huang Taiji, will you still let him lead troops into the city to 'repair'?" ”
"Why should I feel that? I didn't have that idea at all. Xiao Mu hurriedly denied.
"So I'm talking 'if', if you're as suspicious of these three generals as the ministers who are suspicious of them, you'll definitely think that letting them bring troops into the city isn't for 'repairs' at all, but for taking advantage of the opportunity to rebel, then you won't approve of letting them into the city for repairs, because letting them into the city is the biggest threat to you." Lin Yi emphasized again, she just used Xiao Mu as an example, "Now the thinking of the ministers who oppose letting Yuan Chonghuan lead troops into the city for repairs is probably like this. ”
Lin Yi continued to explain, "As for the question of ordinary soldiers you just mentioned, it is obvious that compared with whether or not it is possible for high-ranking generals to rebel, the rest of ordinary soldiers is undoubtedly a secondary issue. Moreover, the army is a place with the strictest requirements for obeying the orders of the superiors, and ordinary soldiers naturally have to unconditionally carry out the orders from above, and they are basically easily bewitched, and it is difficult to distinguish whether the essence of the orders issued from above is to protect the family and defend the country, defend the emperor, or eliminate the villains and traitors around the emperor, or directly overthrow the emperor, and no matter what the essence of the order is, they will all carry it out. ”
"But I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Xiao Mu emphasized, "No matter how the ministers of the DPRK and China suspect Yuan Chonghuan and a few of them, in the end it is I who has the final say, since the reason for their opposition is just a suspicion based on random speculation, rather than other reasonable and well-founded reasons, then I naturally have to ignore these objections, let these three Ming officials and troops enter the city for repair, and ensure that the soldiers are always in the best fighting condition." ”
"Strictly speaking, letting the border army enter the city for repairs will actually have some impact, after all, although the capital of the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than this in the eyes of you and me, in the eyes of these ordinary soldiers, it is the most prosperous city they have ever seen in their lives." Lin Yi added, "For example, when these border soldiers entered the city and found that the city was so prosperous, they took their salaries to the market to buy special goods, to eat and drink in restaurants and wine shops, to go to the brothels of the green buildings and so on, and these activities obviously did not do any good to ensure their combat effectiveness. And this is only light, if these soldiers who entered the city do not have so much money, and want to experience the leisurely life of the Ming capital, then they undoubtedly have only two choices - either eat the overlord meal, or grab money from other places for their consumption, all in all, no matter which one it is, it will have a great impact on the security of the capital, and they themselves are the most elite border troops of the Ming Dynasty, and it is absolutely unambiguous to bully the common people, even if the officials of Shuntianfu catch fast, it is impossible for them to be their opponents. ”
"I just let them go into the city to renovate and recuperate to maintain their combat effectiveness, and I didn't invite a group of uncles to come to the city to be merry and happy, why did I let them wander around the streets of the capital?" Xiao Mu asked rhetorically, "I directly ordered them not to leave the barracks for a single step, wouldn't it be good to deal with the violators of military law?" ”
"Well, they really shouldn't be let go around." Lin Yi nodded, but immediately continued, "But this doesn't avoid all the problems. ”
"What's the problem?" Xiao Mu continued to ask, "Forget about small problems, as long as it is not the kind of problem that can have a significant impact on the situation, it can be overcome, after all, defending the city is the first thing now." ”
"There's a real chance that something could be a big problem." Lin Yi continued to reply, "For example, if tens of thousands of troops outside the city are placed in the military camp in the city, there may be all kinds of contradictions and quarrels between these three soldiers from different places, after all, the army is a group of soldiers with strong blood and strength, and they are the kind of people who have fought for many years, and their hearts are more or less distorted and good-tempered. It is equivalent to that Huang Taiji has not yet attacked the city, and the most powerful defenders of the Ming Dynasty have killed each other. ”
"It's really a problem." Xiao Mu also nodded in agreement, but then continued to ask, "But this problem should be avoidable, right?" I just need to separate the camps of different people from Liaodong, Xuanfu, and Datong, so that they don't have the opportunity to contact each other again. ”
"Well, this is indeed a way...... Lin Yi found that his mental reaction speed was obviously not as fast as before in the past few days, especially at the beginning of today, when analyzing the problems of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, he might suspect that Yuan Chonghuan and a few of their generals led the troops may have consumed too much energy, resulting in the views he put forward now can be frequently refuted by Xiao Mu.
However, Lin Yi quickly thought of another question, "Even if it is placed in separate camps, it is not necessarily foolproof, let tens of thousands of troops enter the capital of the Ming Dynasty, once these troops have a camp roar, the final result will be disastrous, the original Beijing camp in the capital is not right, it is definitely not capable of subduing these elite border troops." ”
"Why are they so good?" Xiao Mu quickly asked another question.
"There are a lot of triggers for the roar." Lin Yi replied, "Do you remember the Ningyuan mutiny a while ago? Isn't that a typical incident caused by non-payment? ”
"But the people who came to the capital this time are all elite border soldiers, so there should be no arrears of pay for them, right?" Xiao Mu continued to ask.
"Unpaid wages are only one of the causes of the camp roar, they can have camp riots for other reasons, for example, they think that they rushed to the capital at a time of crisis, and deserve a rich reward other than military salaries, but in the end they get nothing, in this case, they may think that the reward that originally belonged to them was filled by some officials, so these soldiers will be dissatisfied, and if someone instigates it, it is easy to form a new camp roaring incident."
Lin Yi replied, "Or there are other incentives, such as the rule that you just made not allowing them to walk in the streets of the capital, which may also cause them to be dissatisfied, and then induce the camp to ......."
