Chapter 1215: The Dynasty That Is About to Collapse (3)
How can these Ming military leaders stand this, they have no military power in their hands, and when the Far East enters the Central Plains, how can they still have a good life.
But they really didn't dare to think of anything else, and even if they were reluctant, they could only agree to the demands of the Far East. At least the Far Eastern Company did not make a false deal with them, but said ugly things to the front. In fact, the more they do this, the more relieved they are, but they are just unwilling.
After all, it is not a troubled time, the soldiers and horses in their hands are the capital, no matter who sits in this country, they deliberately bargain with each other with the soldiers and horses in their hands.
The Far Eastern Army is different, not to mention its strength, and it definitely can't rub a little sand in its eyes. If they dare to stab, they can wipe them out in minutes.
Moreover, the Far East Company is also more interesting, and the Far East will give them as much wealth as the military power they hand over. These military leaders were not afraid of the Far East, because they were so rich that they were simply fat.
Therefore, most of the military leaders of the Nine Border Military Towns reluctantly agreed to the harsh conditions of the Far Eastern Army, and only waited for the day when the Far Eastern Army launched a large-scale attack, they directly opened the gate of the side wall, and then handed over the military power, and they had nothing to do.
Of course, there are also generals who serve the country like Lu Xiangsheng, all of whom have the belief that they will die, and want to kill themselves and leave a lifetime of fame. These loyal generals wanted to fight to the death with the Far Eastern Army, but their generals did not have the same intention.
If you die, you will die, why do you pull us on our backs, we don't care who sits on this country. The Far Eastern Intelligence Department could not win over all the officials and military leaders of the Ming Dynasty, so the breakthrough was placed on the subordinates of these loyal generals and generals.
People like Lu Xiangsheng are even more focused on taking care of, after all, he is the old man of the second marshal, and the Intelligence Department can't just watch Lu Xiangsheng rush towards the Far Eastern Army with a big blade, and then die under the dense rain of bullets, and then be trampled into pulp by countless cavalry.
There is also Wu Xiang and his son in Liaozhen, since the Far Eastern Army began to assemble, the Guanning Army on the other side of the Daling River not only did not send people to cross the river to contact, but strengthened the armament and city defense.
Although this is also caused by the Eastern Corps Command deliberately snubbing them, it at least shows that the Wu father and son still have some ideas in their hearts, and the ideas are not small.
This also gave the commander of the Eastern Corps a chance to clean them up, and prepared to kill the arrogance of the Guanning Iron Cavalry in the next battle.
There was widespread disgust and resentment within the Military Commission towards the big traitor Wu Sangui, and they all wanted to take advantage of this battle to destroy the Wu family and his son.
With the intense combat preparations of the Guanning Army, the Eastern Corps of the Far Eastern Army also knew that it was time to send someone to meet with the Wu father and son. Originally, the people sent by the Far East were employees of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, but Qiang Quansheng replaced several officers of the Far East Army on the grounds that the Guanning Army had strengthened its armaments and the front line was not safe, and went to Jinzhou to meet with the Wu family and his son.
The officers sent by Qiang Quansheng to negotiate were all low-level officers at the grassroots level, how arrogant and arrogant these guys were, they went to Jinzhou to meet Wu Xiang directly, and then in a condescending manner, they read out the harsh conditions proposed by the Far East to the Wu father and son, and the tone of their speech was really not flattering.
After listening to the conditions of the Far East, Wu Xiang's face suddenly became gloomy. How could the young and vigorous Wu Sangui endure this, and just as he was about to scold, he was pulled by Wu Xiang.
"This general, please go back and tell your marshal, just say that our father and son still have to think about this matter......"
A major of the Far Eastern Army, led by him, nodded with a serious face and said: "I hope you can see the situation clearly, and don't try to go against our Far Eastern Army, if you are obsessed, hehe...... You should know the consequences. ”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Xiang and his son coldly, and then turned around and left Jinzhou.
"Smack...... The Far East is too deceitful ......"
When several officers of the Far Eastern Army came out of the house, Wu Xiang violently lifted the teacup next to him and slammed it to the ground.
Wu Sangui said with anger on his face: "Dad...... The Far East is going to be slaughtered, depending on what they mean, if we don't hand over the military power, they won't let us go. Made...... It's too domineering, don't you leave us a way to live? ”
Wu Xiang said with a gloomy face: "It seems that we were wrong at the beginning, and we shouldn't be so close to the Far East." Although we can establish a close relationship with the Far East, at this time, we will not be able to make the other party value us. ”
After speaking, he thought for a while, and then said: "Order the acropolis of Tunbao in all parts of the country to hurry up the preparation of troops and horses, strengthen the city defense, and be on guard at any time, ready to deal with the attack of the Far East at any time." ”
The reason why Wu Xiang's father and son could not accept the harsh conditions of the Far East like the military leaders of other military towns. The main reason is that Wu Xiang and his son control the Jin defense line and operate like an iron bucket.
Because Wu Xiang has tens of thousands of Guanning iron horsemen in his hands, and Wu Xiang's father and son have a close relationship with the Far East. With these years of trading with the Far East, Wu Xiang and his son earned a lot of wealth, and they were willing to spend money to raise soldiers.
Therefore, whether it is Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan and other places, all the soldiers and horses in Liaozhen only obey the orders of their grandfathers. The civilian officials and military leaders at all levels in the military town have long been hollowed out by them.
Wu Xiang's father and son have now become the warlords of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Guanjin defense line is the backyard of the two of them.
Many officials secretly sent people to the Jingshi to impeach their father and son, but as soon as they left the Shanhaiguan Pass, they would be intercepted and killed by bandits and thieves along the way, and those officials who impeached their father and son would also be killed soon after.
Maybe it's a fire, maybe it's a thief, anyway, none of the civil officials who have impeached their father and son are good to die. Often, the whole family does not leave chickens and dogs.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty of the Jingshi Dynasty also knew the situation in Liaozhen, but they could only continue to comfort their father and son, and they didn't dare to do anything to them. Chongzhen is so rigid and self-serving, and his temperament is so violent, but the civil officials have not killed less, but he has never killed a few military leaders with soldiers in their hands.
Therefore, in the face of such harsh conditions in the Far East, Wu Xiang and his son certainly couldn't be like the military leaders of other military towns in the Ming Dynasty, breaking their teeth and swallowing them in their stomachs.
The military leaders of other Liao towns were watched by the governors, and the grain, grass, and military salaries were all controlled by civilian officials, and of course they had to be men with their tails between their legs. But in the past few years, Wu Xiang's father and son have been in the independent kingdom of Liaozhen, that is, the Emperor of the Soil, how can they easily give up everything in their hands.
Coupled with Wu Sangui's constant demagogy on the side, Wu Xiang is now slowly having some speculative psychology. The thoughts in his heart can't be said to be bad, with the strong Guanjin defense line and tens of thousands of elite Guanning iron cavalry under his command, how can he stop the Far Eastern Army for a few days. If the Far Eastern Army suffers from attacking the Guanjin defensive line, it will inevitably weigh the pros and cons and send people to negotiate with them again.
