Chapter 203: You Must Listen to Me
(Thanks to 145K for the evaluation votes, thanks to sandy for the tip, thank you.) )
On December 29, Qu Qingze returned.
To Su Tiancheng's surprise, Qu Qingze actually came with more than 1,000 people. It turned out that these people were the sergeants of the Anqing Guard, because the edict of the Ministry of War required that the sergeants of the Security Guard and the Luzhou Guard must help prevent the invasion of the rogues, so the Wei Commander mobilized a sergeant from a house to come to assist.
The leader of the team is a thousand households, whose name is Zeng Yu, and he is the rank of the fifth grade.
Zeng Yu's attitude was a little arrogant, and he was a little unhappy when he saw Su Tiancheng leading the soldiers stationed outside Susong County.
"Master Qu, what's the situation?"
"My lord, the prefect of Anqing Mansion has been waiting in the city for a long time, and my lord has not been able to go to see him, and the prefect has a very opinion, the original plan is that the Anqing Health Office is mainly responsible for patrolling and preventing the rogues from invading Anqing Mansion.
Su Tiancheng smiled coldly, no wonder the Daming Liukou is rampant, there is such an idea everywhere, keep your own safety, just drive the Liukou away, go to other places, it has nothing to do with you, ask the sergeant you bring with you, stationed in Anqing Fucheng, it has no bullshit effect, if the Liukou comes to Susong, he takes his brothers and rushes to Susong County, I am afraid that the Liukou's hair will not be visible.
"Knowing that the lord has led his brothers to Susong, the prefect didn't say much, in the mansion, there is also An Qingwei's commander, and the commander sent Zeng Yu to Susong County to help fight against the Liukou."
"In this way, does that mean that the more than 1,000 people brought by Zeng Yu will also obey our unified command."
"This. The commander did not say anything, and the subordinate also asked, and the commander and the prefect were vague. ”
Su Tiancheng blinked, if this was the case, the more than 1,000 people brought by Zeng Yu would be considered rat. Not only can it not help, but it will add to the chaos, if the command power cannot be unified, when the battle is against the rogues, you fight yours, I go mine, disturb the morale of the army, what kind of system.
"Do the commanders and prefects have any clear objections to our unified command?"
"Not really."
"That's fine, the rest of the business. We'll do it ourselves. ”
Qu Qingze hesitated slightly, but still spoke.
"The meaning of the commander and the prefect seems to be that we are required to obey their commands and dispatches, and we have come from afar and are not familiar with the situation."
Su Tiancheng quickly thought of Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, to exterminate the Liukou in Shanxi, and the imperial court sent three generals He Renlong, Li Bei, and Ai Wannian to assist. However, because the two were fighting for command, the rogue seized the opportunity. Liaozhou was captured, and Li Chengzhang of Zhizhou was killed in battle. This bloody lesson is right in front of you, could it be that Commander An Qingwei and the prefect have short-circuited their minds, and they actually want to repeat the old tricks. Thinking of seizing the command of the reinforcements sent by the military department.
If An Qingwei commanded the envoy and the prefect, they could strategize and make detailed plans, and it didn't matter if they listened to their commands. Judging from the current situation, what the two of them think of is self-preservation, they and their brothers are staying in the city, they can spend the Spring Festival in peace, and they will never listen to such an arrangement.
It seems that if you go directly to Susong County, this move is correct, if you follow the rules and go directly to Anqing Fucheng, there may be some conflicts.
"Hehe, they think well, don't they want the black gauze hat on their heads, the lesson of Shanxi, just around the corner, they are still thinking about fighting for command, don't care about him, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, brothers first have a good Spring Festival, scouts daily patrols are still not less, as for the sergeants brought by Zeng Yu, either obey our command, or ask them to go home, as long as they are not afraid of impeachment."
Qu Qingze nodded.
"The lower officer also thinks so, the sergeant brought by Zeng Yu must obey the command."
Looking at Qu Qingze's somewhat strange expression, Su Tiancheng didn't say much.
Half an hour later, Sun Yuankun angrily entered Su Tiancheng's room, and Zeng Yu also followed.
Before Sun Yuankun could speak, Zeng Yu opened his mouth a little arrogantly.
"Master Su, the commander and the prefect have arranged for the official, tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, this unified command matter, I wanted to implement it after tomorrow, but the arrangement of Sun Inspection, the official is a little unaccustomed, so I want to talk about it now."
When Sun Yuankun was about to speak, Su Tiancheng raised his hand and signaled not to speak for the time being.
"Oh, what do you mean, Senho-sama?"
"You are guests from afar, of course, you have to obey the unified command of this official, and this official is on behalf of the commander and the prefect."
A mocking smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.
"Lord Qianhu, you probably haven't seen the edict of the Ministry of War, you have opened the river, Lord Qu once went to Anqing Mansion to visit on behalf of this official, and the commander and the prefect have not made it clear what you are commanding, why did you say such things, what happened in Shanxi, you probably don't know the way."
"I haven't seen the edict of the Ministry of War, I obey the arrangements of the commander and the prefect, and the rest is none of my business."
"Bastard, as a soldier of the imperial court, Anqing Wei Qianhu, actually said such words, Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, because of the matter of fighting for command, Liaozhou was captured, Zhizhou Li Chengzhang was killed in battle, the two were removed from their posts, and they went to Beijing to receive their crimes, what do you think is it, this official is impeached, and you can take your head, believe it or not."
Zeng Yu's face was a little pale, but he was still unconvinced.
"The official doesn't know about these things, if Lord Su wants to impeach, the official has no choice, but this matter of unified command, the official is acting on orders, and the officer can tell you Lord Su, after tomorrow, all the sergeants will leave Susong County and go to the capital city, and they must obey the dispatch of the official."
Su Tiancheng raised his head and smiled.
"Zeng Yu, what do you think you are, but an Qingwei's Qianhu, you speak so arrogantly, even if you are the commander and the prefect, in front of this official, you will not speak like this, this official is ordered by the Ministry of War, come to exterminate the Liukou, how can you be a small Qianhu, can command."
"This officer also wants to tell you that the sergeants you brought must obey Sun Yuankun's unified command, and if you dare to disobey military orders, don't blame the ruthless military law."
Zeng Yu stiffened his neck, his face flushed.
"This official will not obey his fate."
Su Tiancheng's face became a little cold, if the command power cannot be unified, let alone exterminate the rogue, there will be internal strife, and then don't go to war.
It seems that this Zeng Yu may be the confidant of the commander, and he has no fear, and he doesn't take himself seriously at all.
"Zeng Yu, you don't obey the military order, this officer is considering that he is new to the city, and he will not enforce the military law for the time being, you can leave Susong County and go back to resume his life, just say that all the sergeants, this officer is under unified command."
Zeng Yuleng paused.
"Master Su, what do you mean by this, how can the more than 1,000 soldiers brought by this official stay here, and you want to go back with this official, and you also have to go to Fucheng."
"Zeng Yu, didn't you understand what the official said, you can leave now."
Of course, Zeng Yu would not give up, he left Su Tiancheng's room angrily, and immediately prepared to gather more than 1,000 sergeants who had just arrived and go home.
It's a pity he didn't have a chance.
Nearly 3,700 soldiers, wearing armor and riding war horses, lined up neatly, bursting out with an invincible momentum.
The more than 1,000 sergeants he brought with him stood scattered in the playground, looking a little cringe.
Su Tiancheng rode a war horse and looked at him with a mocking smile.
"Master Su, what do you mean by that?"
"The officer has already said that you can leave and go back to your life, you have already violated the military law once, if you continue to disobey the order, the officer will never show mercy."
Zeng Yu's face turned pale, and looking at the sergeant from Jiangning County, he already knew that he didn't have any chance. At this time, if he really said a few more words, he would anger Su Tiancheng, and his head would fall to the ground, so he could only go to Yin Si to cry.
The more than 1,000 sergeants that can be brought are the most elite strength of An Qingwei, and there are 100 of them who are the personal soldiers of the commander, and if he goes back alone, he will not be able to deal with them.
"Master Su, you and I are colleagues, the green mountains are always there, the green water flows forever, you don't have to be so excessive."
Su Tiancheng's face faintly had a hint of fierceness.
The army of the Ming Dynasty slowly lost its combat effectiveness in the midst of such infighting and human affection, and if it was not able to change this situation, what would it be like to talk about making meritorious contributions.
"Zeng Yu, is the army a place to talk about human feelings, this official has already issued a military order, you have violated it again and again, and this official has already given you a chance."
After saying this, Su Tiancheng roared angrily.
"Where's the sheriff?"
Luo Chang quickly came out.
"My lord, Zeng Yu violated the military order and should be beheaded according to the law."
"We came from afar, and before we left the division, we beheaded the general first, which was not good for the army, and I think it was changed to a cane punishment, and the cane hit twenty, and if we continue to quibble, we will be beheaded immediately."
Four people left the ranks.
Zeng Yu didn't dare to resist anymore, and he didn't dare to speak, at this time, if he continued to talk more, his head would definitely not be able to be saved, he had already discovered that Su Tiancheng looked gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact, he was decisive, and he was unlucky.
Pressed to the ground, Zeng Yu gritted his teeth, and a sergeant pulled out his pants.
The board hit the buttocks, and the blood quickly burst out.
Zeng Yu gritted his teeth desperately and did not moan.
Su Tiancheng nodded secretly, it seems that this Zeng Yu still has some backbone.
The more than 1,000 sergeants brought by Zeng Yu looked solemn, watching their adults being hit with a cane, they finally understood that this time they came to Susong, and they might not be so chic. (To be continued.) )
