Chapter 582: Can't Be Calm
It's been a month.
However, the days were not peaceful, and in this month's time, two major events occurred that shook the entire Sichuan, and the impact even extended to the imperial court.
The news of the crushing defeat of the white pole soldiers soon spread throughout Sichuan, and the folds were also reported to the imperial court, Sichuan officials at all levels, although some looked down on the white pole soldiers, thinking that they did not belong to the imperial court, but they still recognized the courage of the white pole soldiers, and they did not expect that the white pole soldiers encountered the rogue and failed miserably, if it were not for the timely rescue of the Jiangning battalion, the white pole soldiers may have been wiped out, which made many officials have different views on the rogue soldiers, and they can defeat the white pole soldiers, indicating that the rogue is very strong.
There was no manifestation at the court, no decrees, no edicts.
It is said that the white pole soldiers suffered such a big defeat and lost nearly 20,000 soldiers, and the imperial court will definitely reprimand them, but unfortunately there is no reaction this time, and it seems that there will be no performance in the future.
The Sichuan Guards army is even more afraid of the Liukou, those guards are very clear about the combat effectiveness of the sergeants, their combat effectiveness is not comparable with the white pole soldiers, the white pole soldiers have suffered a fiasco, not to mention them, if it is said that directly confronting the Liukou, it is almost the same as looking for death, so after the news spread, the guard army was even more negative.
At this time, Qin Liangyu began to issue orders, as the chief military officer of Sichuan, issued an order, requiring the troops of the guards in Sichuan to take the initiative to control important passes, and the most core places were still in Kuizhou Mansion, Long'an Mansion, Baoning Mansion, Tongchuan Prefecture, Chongqing Prefecture and other places, and some places in Chengdu Prefecture were also involved.
After Qin Liangyu's military order was issued, it was basically not implemented, and some of the Wei commanders directly blocked it back without saying any reason. Some of the guards had a slightly better attitude, and they even found excuses, saying that they were facing many difficulties, and in short, it was impossible to complete the order.
The order to go out was directly blocked. In Qin Liangyu's opinion, this is very normal, in the past, when I saw such a situation, the past has passed, some Wei commanders have a good relationship with many local officials, and they have nothing to do, besides, all these years. The army of the guard station is basically independent, unless it is an edict issued by the Ministry of War, even if it is an order issued by the provincial commander, it may not be able to be implemented well.
But this time the situation was different, Qin Liangyu made a military order, if he couldn't command many guard commanders, losing his life was nothing, and his reputation would be ruined.
It's a pity that many of the guards don't know about such a situation.
Qin Liangyu first came to Kuizhou Wei.
Commander Wei was not even prepared to greet Qin Liangyu in person. only sent a commander to deal with it, and only showed up under Qin Liangyu's strict request. The process of talking to both sides was also unpleasant. Although Qin Liangyu was the chief military officer, his focus was still on managing the white pole soldiers, and he rarely had contact with other guard commanders, let alone commanding these guard commanders.
The commander of Kuizhou Wei, in his words, even revealed the ridicule of the white pole soldiers. suffered such a big defeat, and came to ask himself to send troops to hold the fortress.
This situation was expected by Su Tiancheng, so he followed Qin Liangyu to Kuizhou Wei. There is also Qu Qingze.
Qu Qingze didn't reveal his identity, he just followed Qin Liangyu, so the commander of Kuizhou Wei didn't notice him.
Seeing that Qin Liangyu was a little at a loss, Kui Zhouwei's commander had an arrogant attitude, and Qu Qingze finally came forward.
His identity has long been different, and the identity of the imperial envoy of Zuo Yidu cannot be underestimated even by the governor.
Qu Qingze did not directly identify himself, and opened his mouth to reprimand the commander of Kuizhou Wei.
For Qu Qingze, who suddenly spoke, Commander Kui Zhouwei looked angry, even Qin Liangyu couldn't say this about him, not to mention Qin Liangyu's subordinates, just when Commander Kui Zhouwei was annoyed and angry, and asked Qin Liangyu directly in an unkind tone, which meant that when Qin Liangyu's subordinates didn't know the rules of the road and had to cut off Qu Qingze's head, Qu Qingze showed his identity.
Ignoring the pale-faced Kui Zhouwei, Qu Qingze reminded Qin Liangyu that it was time to use Shang Fang's sword.
Qin Liangyu, who was hesitating, still considered being able to convince Kui Zhouwei, but Qu Qingze couldn't manage it so much, he always kept in mind Su Tiancheng's instructions, and when necessary, he must kill people and establish authority.
When Qin Liangyu asked Shang Fang to come out with the sword, Kui Zhou had already collapsed to the ground.
Qin Liangyu beheaded the commander of Kuizhou Wei and ordered the commander Tongzhi to temporarily act as the commander and complete all the deployments in accordance with the requirements of the military order.
The killing of the Kuizhou Wei envoy caused a huge repercussion in Sichuan.
The Wei commanders of Long'an, Baoning, Tongchuan, and Chongqing did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and began relevant deployments in accordance with Qin Liangyu's military orders, whether they did it well or not, but they must do so.
Only the commander of Chengdu Wei still doesn't care.
This Wei Commander is very old, and he has a very good relationship with the governor of Sichuan and other officials, although Qin Liangyu killed the Kuizhou Wei Commander, he still doesn't care, thinking that Qin Liangyu doesn't dare to do anything to him.
can only say that this guard commander is stupid and looking for death by himself, he doesn't want to think about who is behind Qin Liangyu, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Su Tiancheng, the governor of the five provinces, what is it to kill him as a guard commander.
The result was the same, when the commander of Chengdu Wei was killed, the governor of Sichuan and other officials did not dare to intercede at all.
Killed the Chengdu Wei Commander and Kuizhou Wei Commander, and the other Wei Commanders in Sichuan, they didn't dare to take any chances, and did everything according to the requirements, but fortunately, the military salary was quickly in place, and the sergeant got the silver, and the morale was finally stronger.
Qin Liangyu's measures also caused a small discussion in the imperial court, and some proposed impeachment to the middle of the matter and the imperial history, thinking that Qin Liangyu did not have such power, and the impeachment was also faintly pointed to Su Tiancheng, Shang Fang's sword was given to Su Tiancheng by the emperor, how could Qin Liangyu use it directly.
This time, the person who wrote out the impeachment and the history of the matter did not expect that their end would be as tragic.
The emperor Long Yan was furious, threw the song fold directly to the ground, and directly ordered the Jinyi guard to put the matter and the imperial history in prison, and directly cut off their positions and demoted them to commoners.
They don't want to think about it, the matter of exterminating the Liukou is the prime minister's matter, and the matter of killing the commander of the guard and letting Qin Liangyu use Shang Fang's sword is generally the prince's order, and they propose to impeach, isn't it directly aimed at the prince.
Of course, the emperor was angry, and he definitely couldn't tolerate it.
There is also a reason why Zhu Youzhen supports Su Tiancheng in this way.
Zhu Cihong has written several letters, all of which are reports on his daily learning and the feeling of being familiar with handling things, looking at these letters, Zhu Youzhen's heart is full of emotion, he obviously feels that Zhu Cihong's progress is very great, not only familiar with the people's feelings, but even how to deal with some subtle things, also has a good understanding.
Zhu Cihong's recent letter even triggered Zhu Youzhen's deep thought.
Zhu Cihong wrote about the dignity of civil and military officials, and cited his and Su Tiancheng's handling of Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin, believing that the dignity of civil and military officials was the most important.
Zhu Cihong's progress indicates that the Ming Dynasty has a very good successor, and Zhu Youzhen is of course happy.
Therefore, the white pole soldiers were defeated, Zhu Youzhen did not reprimand, and impeached the middle of the matter and the imperial history, and Zhu Youzhen severely punished him, which means that it is very clear, don't think about any matter of impeachment and extermination.
Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou, and other cabinet officials clearly understood how wise Su Tiancheng's original proposal was to implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister to exterminate the Liukou.
What happened in Sichuan, what happened in the imperial court, the officials in Sichuan soon knew the way, and it was clearly written in the newspaper, at this time, everyone finally realized that the situation had changed, if they thought that their relationship was good and their roots were hard, they could not obey the order, and they would definitely suffer a big loss, the Chengdu Wei Commander and the Kuizhou Wei Commander were beheaded by Shang Fang's sword, and the rest of the Wei Commanders who did not obey the order had the same fate.
This kind of understanding has also spread rapidly among officials at all levels in Sichuan.
From the governor to the county, it is very clear that the imperial court has made up its mind to completely exterminate the Liukou, and this time it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who personally exterminates the Liukou, and all the military orders can be regarded as the emperor's personal decree, which is more stringent than the imperial decree of the Ministry of War.
Within a short period of time, the situation in Sichuan began to undergo a major change.
When Qin Liangyu went to Fuzhou County to supervise, the prefect, the prefect, the prefect and the county officials greeted him in person, and the Wei commander was waiting at the border of the station, for fear that he would not do something good and be grabbed by his braids.
At the beginning, Qin Liangyu was still a little uncomfortable with such a situation, but slowly got used to it, when he gave the order, his tone was firm, and the deployment was more detailed.
It's just a month, Sichuan has undergone such a big change, the guards began to become strict, although the combat effectiveness of the guard army is still not good, but they are stationed in the pass or fortress place, with the favorable terrain, they can barely resist the attack of the Liukou, besides, the Jiangning battalion has been opened, into Kuizhou, Baoning and other places, if there is a danger in any place, the Jiangning battalion soldiers can quickly rush to help.
