Chapter 20: Step by Step, the Battle of Liaodong Begins (3)

Xuanfu, Mangui military camp.

After a few days, this was the eighth letter that Man Gui had received. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

From the indignation of Huang Degong's first letter, to the shock of the emperor's subsequent letter......

For Man Gui, all this is like being in a dream.

"Your Majesty, am I really wrong?"

In the past few days, Man Gui has been a little insomnia, to say that he Man Gui is known for his bravery in the army, dare to fight and kill, and the soldiers he led are naturally 'howling' on the battlefield.

However, the Mangui army has always been known for its chaos, and it is common for the army to plunder and kill the people.

Because in Man Gui's view, the army should be fully released if it serves on the battlefield, otherwise who is willing to fight to the death, so even if Zhu Jian promulgated the 'three major disciplines and seven regulations' for the rectification of the army in the early years, as well as a series of imperial military laws, for the Xuanfu soldiers, it has always fallen on deaf ears.

And the key to all these problems lies in Man Gui alone.

Huang Degong's sincere letter, if it can only slightly set off waves in Man Gui's heart, then Zhu Jian's letter can be said to make Man Gui's heart fluctuate.

The people are the foundation of the country. Soldiers, the country's most important weapon. The two complement each other, and they should be a family of soldiers and civilians, so that they can be like fish and water...... And if the people are afraid of the soldiers, it is a great taboo......

The emperor's letter was not long, and he didn't seem to be able to see the meaning of the reproach, but it was this eloquent hundred crosses that made Man Gui read it in shock.

At this time, he seemed to remember a story from Liaodong not long ago.

It was about the town navy, but it was said that the town navy was known for its strict military discipline since it became an army, and its passage through Liaodong all reflected the concept of the soldiers and the people advocated by the emperor.

One day, the town navy sent a scout force to spy on the Houjin army, passing through a small village, was discovered by the local scouts, Houjin dispatched more than dozens of people to try to wipe it out, this scout force actually escaped and ascended to heaven, but the small village residents risked their lives to spread the news in time, which avoided a disaster.

It was such a small incident, when he first heard about it, Man Gui just thought it was a joke, in his opinion, how could the soldiers and the people do this, didn't those people hate them the most?

And today, Man Gui seems to understand a little.

Maybe it's really possible.

Only when the soldiers become the patron saints of the people, then the people will naturally be better able to regard them as gods.

This is what Man Gui realized.

"Maybe I should make a break and ask the emperor for my guilt."

.......

The next day, when Man Gui got up early, ready to hand over the fold that he had rushed to last night, and at this moment, the porter suddenly came to report that an angel had arrived in Beijing.

Hearing this, Man Gui was busy preparing to welcome the guests from the DPRK and China.

Although I don't know the specific reason for the people who came here in the DPRK and China, but vaguely, Man Gui guessed that he was afraid that he would be inseparable from the letters that had come over the past few days.

"Master Li!"

Just when Man Gui was suspicious, he found that the person who came here would be Li Yan, the minister of the imperial party, who was the celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven.

"Lord Shaobao, congratulations!"

Hearing this, Man Gui was a little stunned, but seeing this, Li Yan smiled and said.

"Isn't the Manchu Taibao still going to accept the order?"

This sound woke Man Gui up from his dream, but he immediately knelt down to accept the order.

"The emperor's edict said that the thief of Man Guiping has merit, and the merit lies in Sheji....... His eldest son, Teyin Fei Cavalry Captain [Wu Xun: Cong Wupin], and the second son Yin was awarded the Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant [Zheng Liupin]......"

I wanted to play the emperor, thinking that Zhangjiakou was guilty of the matter, but the emperor sent someone to show his merits.

But this skill is a bit too far-fetched?!

Man Gui was full of doubts in his heart, but at this moment, Li Yan was smiling on the side.

"Shaobao, the emperor's grace is mighty, Taibao should be grateful!"

Li Yan's words made Man Gui stunned for a while, the emperor's grace is vast, the emperor's grace is indeed vast, he Mangui has been a holy grace since Chongzhen entered the king of Jingqin in the second year, but in the face of the successive holy graces, Man Gui was a little dazed for a while.

For a moment, he seemed to understand that the emperor seemed to have other intentions.

Since the third year of the Chongzhen fight, the imperial army has been restructured, the three major battalions of the Beijing Division have been reorganized into the Dragon and Tiger and Tiger armies, and the local government has abolished the guard system and retrained the patrol army, but the emperor does not seem to have taken action against them, who were once the commanders of the important towns with the general army.

And at this moment, Man Gui seemed to understand that His Majesty the Emperor was really going to take action.

Knowing this, Man Gui arched his hand towards Li Yan.

"Lord Li, a coarse person, there is a trip to the company, please take a break, please take a break, where you are unaccompanied, please Haihan."

After that, Man Gui turned around and walked towards the study, but what he was holding in his hand was the piece of music that had already been drawn up, on which was a plea to the emperor and a guarantee for stepping up military discipline in the future.

And everything that was before here is obviously no longer good, and there is only one thing in front of Man Gui.

The power of the Xuanfu cavalry will be given to His Majesty the Emperor and included in the official establishment of the empire!

......

Three days later, the two pieces of news were like a bombshell, and they spread all over the empire for a while!

First, the Jin Shang Fan family colluded with Houjin, was willing to be a lackey, and brought disaster to the country and the people, and its crime was intolerable, so the Fan family was confiscated, and Fan Yongdou's immediate family members were all taken into custody, and they were to be disposed of after the Dali Yuan, the Ministry of Supervision, and the Ministry of Law were tried.

And because the two Fan Nian brothers reported meritorious work and did not participate in the rebellion, some of the foreign properties of Fan Mansion were specially attributed to the Fan Nian brothers.

In addition, those who colluded with Fan Yongdou and Houjin, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa and other seven people were taken into custody, and their family property was used to fill the treasury!

To set an example, but anyone who colludes with Houjin and harms the interests of the empire will be killed!

At the same time, all the servants of the eight mansions of the Jin merchants were relieved of their slave status, abolished Sochi, gave their residence on the spot, and issued a certain amount of travel expenses to settle down and start a business!

And another piece of news is just as shocking.

The Xuanfu General Army, the Prince Shaobao, and the Marquis of Anbian Mangui submitted a memorabilia, requesting that the Xuanfu cavalry be returned to the imperial system and rectified by the Imperial War Department and the General Staff!

If the previous news caused waves in the hearts of the people of the empire, then the latter news undoubtedly set off a frenzy in the hearts of all the generals of the empire!

Because after the crown prince Shaobao Mangui's recital was handed over, the emperor gave him graciously, and at the same time awarded Mangui Taifu, who was still in charge of the Xuanfu army, and was awarded the fifth-class Baoding Medal!

The emperor's meaning is already obvious, even a famous man like Man Gui has taken over the military power to the empire, so what about their snobbery and the general soldiers who are far inferior to Man Gui? Naturally, the best thing to do is to follow suit!

But there are always exceptions to everything, the emperor decreed that all the troops in the Jiliao line in eastern Liaodong are still under the control of the Jiliao Governor's Office.

......

Liaodong, Yaozhou.

Mayday, despite being outside the plug, it was already a warbler flying grass.

At this time, Yaozhou was guarded by Tong Tuunai, the owner of the Blue Banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Tong Tu Nai was the son of the famous traitor Tong Yangzhen, and his daughter was the famous Empress Xiaokang in history, Kangxi's mother-in-law.

The Tong family will not mention it for the time being, but today's flag lord's mansion has ushered in two distinguished guests.

But it was the two brothers Fan Yongdou and Fan Yongzhi who fled for their lives all the way!
