Chapter 121: Menacing
Liu Zeqing rode a high-headed horse, escorted by the well-armed family team behind him, and a high platform had been set up on the school field, Liu Zeqing had a short jacket and a silver scale armor on the outside, which looked majestic.
The families behind are all standing under the high platform, these families are selected from the three thousand elites, each person needs more than 20 taels of An Jiayin a year, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion are also standing under the stage, in addition to the family Ding team to pay for their lives and work more elite, other soldiers and thousands of households are sparsely planted, there are many old men in their fifties mixed in the middle, and even some children who have not yet grown up, holding tattered weapons, and there are some women and children outside the school field who are dragging their families to probe their brains, which looks like a big bazaar every double day.
At this moment, there was a burst of horses' hooves outside the school field, and a group of cavalry lined up in a row, the formation was solemn, and the leader was a general wearing a military attache uniform
"See Lord Zhu, Lord Junmen"
Liu Zeqing knelt on the ground behind him, don't look at the majestic Shandong army, but he didn't dare to put on any stand in front of Zhu Dadian, when Dengzhou rebelled, the Lu army, the Zhejiang army, and the Liao army were defeated or disintegrated, Zhu Dadian was ordered to besiege Dengzhou with tens of thousands of Ming troops, killing the thief Chen Shi, killing the thief Li Jiucheng, and annihilating his whole division. When Wu Xiang, Liu Liangzuo, Zu Dabi, Wu Sangui and others were all partial generals under the command of Dadian, and they were promoted to the right side of the military department to lead the governor of Shandong until now.
Zhu Dadian is quite tall and has a somewhat arrogant attitude. However, seeing Liu Zeqing's humility, he was also useful in his heart, so he walked in front of him and helped Liu Zeqing up with his own hands, and after looking at it, he said with a smile: "The sea is crossing." Fang shows the true character of the hero, Ming Fu is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, this will be able to pacify Lushun and make immortal achievements! ”
Liu Zeqing was a little grateful, bowed down and said: "Thanks to the recommendation of the military gate, as well as the efforts of all the adults, the final general will definitely fulfill his duties." This trip to Lushun must stabilize the situation. ”
Zhu Dadian nodded with satisfaction and said, "The old man is just threading the needle, but several elders in the court are also full of praise for Mingfu." Your Majesty has heard that the general should be in the same boat with the old man? ”
Liu Zeqing hurriedly nodded, this time Zhu Dadian also inserted the Biaofu camp in, and the general headed by it was Zhu Dadian's son Zhu Wanhua. It is clear that you want to grab the credit. Liu Zeqing didn't dare to offend Zhu Dadian, so he quickly nodded and said good.
Zhu Dadian introduced him to several people behind him, in fact, these people had already met with Liu Zeqing in private, Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei, Yang Sichang, who was the commander of the imperial history and the military department, Zhong Hao and others, and Zhang Wanqiao, the superintendent of the army.
Liu Zeqing saw them one by one according to the size of his official position, and Yang Sichang said lightly: "General Liu." The Lushun Hussars are famous all over the world, and this time they came to the rescue. Proceed with caution. ”
Liu Zeqing hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, in accordance with Lord Yang's order, all the elite of Lushun will be transferred to Yangguan Fort, and the rest are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. ”
Yang Sichang said again: "With General Liu's words, it has become, when Dengzhou was ruined, Fang Lingzhuzi became famous, and the official has asked General Liu to take over as the chief soldier of Lushun Town, and Zhang Jianjun also agreed, and the military department may have prevarication, but as long as General Liu exterminated this treacherous person for the imperial court, the military department has nothing to say." ”
Liu Zeqing was so excited that his face was flushed, and he said very obediently: "Thank you for your support, but the last general is quite frightened in his heart, for fear of disappointing the good intentions of the adults."
Yang Sichang shook his head: "The bottom of the kettle is drawn, General Liu needs to be cautious, as long as he can stabilize Lushun and Jinzhou, just sit and watch the two tigers fight, if Yang Bo is defeated, as long as he can keep Lushun Jinzhou without loss, it will be a great achievement, if the Tartar slaves are defeated, the general can do his best to cover up and kill, and destroy the remnants of Yang Bo's army, as long as the Tartar slaves evacuate Yangguan Fort, this great achievement of Forte will not be able to run away, and the official will also speak for the general in the court." ”
Luo Yangxing also stepped forward with a smile and said: "Now that the state affairs are difficult, Liaodong is full of beacons, it is the time for General Liu to show his ambitions, I will wait here to congratulate General Liu, as long as the general pacifies Lushun, the achievements are not under Qi Shaobao back then!" ”
Liu Zeqing patted his chest again and again, and swore a curse: "As long as I live and work in peace and contentment tomorrow, the last general will be a horse leather shroud, and there will be no regrets." ”
After the military parade, Liu Zeqing also received a batch of military food raised by Zhu Dadian and others, and Liu Zeqing took one last look at the dilapidated general military palace in Yanzhou and went out of the city.
This time Liu Zeqing also brought a lot of civil servants and masters with him, in the early years of the Dynasty, both civil and military, Yanzhou this kind of big city is generally a political envoy, according to the inspector, three sets of carriages in parallel, no one can control whom, the general army should be in parallel with the political envoy in terms of status, after the Ming Dynasty, with the beginning of the civil system of military affairs, the status of the military generals plummeted, the civilian power fully suppressed the generals, the Shandong general army can only manage the barracks at ordinary times, can not manage the military salaries and personnel of other strange soldiers to help the guerrillas, only when the troops are sent out have the right to command, so the general army, the deputy general soldier, Between the generals and so on, it is not a complete relationship between superiors and subordinates, usually more like a separate department, under the unified management of the governor's yamen, the governor controls personnel and salary, this is the system and material basis for the civil system and military force, until recently it has changed slightly, although the imperial court has been considering the selection of the governor of Lushun, but Liu Zeqing is not too worried after thinking deeply, as long as he controls the number of ways to make a fortune, even if he can't learn Yang Bo's set of warlords who can't insert needles and can't splash water, but they have soldiers in their hands, what can the governor do? It is also a good choice to be the emperor of southern Liaoning.
Liu Zeqing rode on the horse leisurely, the date of the freezing of Liaohai was approaching, but it would take more than two months to completely freeze, not to mention waiting for the Tatar slaves to besiege the Yangguan Fort, if it wasn't for the sake of showing his attitude to the imperial court, he didn't need to rush to send troops at all, wasting a lot of time on the road.
But anyway, after many years of hard work, he Liu Zeqing finally turned over, Shandong Mansion has experienced the Dengzhou Mutiny and the Jisi Mutiny, even if Zhu Dadian still has to borrow him? Yang Bo turned Lushun into a golden nest, and in the end he was not allowed to make room for him?
Liu Zeqing looked back at the ragged military households, he was really scared all these years. Most of the imperial court's food and salary were wiped out before they arrived, and he could only barely keep these military families from starving to death and having no food and clothing. Soldiers stealing chickens and touching dogs, killing people and selling goods are naturally inevitable, but the number of ways to make a fortune in Yanzhou has been divided between Lu Wangfu and those adults, and Liu Zeqing has not nagged too many benefits.
Liu Zeqing did not hesitate, he had seen it in Dengzhou back then, and it was still called a guerrilla camp at that time, and thousands of people dared to land in Fuzhou to fight the Tatars. With Yang Bo here, the officials everywhere in Denglai are all arrogant, and they look down on their colleagues who are also officials in Shandong. Back then, Yan Kunzhi was just a soldier, and relying on Yang Bo's merits, he snatched the position of governor that originally belonged to Zhu Dadian, and the old man of the military gate had been holding back for too long. The hussars are strong, and they are not easy to mess with. But so what? The benefits of Denglai Liaonan have been swallowed up by you alone. It's not okay to fight, you can't play tricks in the court, Your Majesty didn't make a decree but it was prudent, as long as we occupy Lushun, you Yang Bo will be the end of the death of the clan, and the first frieze will rot first, right?
That night, the army walked ten miles and received reports that first the guerrilla battalion had fallen behind. Then the strange barracks got lost, and Liu Zeqing was not in a hurry. simply ordered to camp early to rest, and sent the family Ding team to collect the team, because Zhu Dadian and others had raised grain and grass in advance, these military households were eager to eat their stomachs early, after hearing the order of the marshal, everyone was overjoyed, the soldiers were in a mess and set up the camp, after the strange military camp came back, Liu Zeqing ordered the family Ding team to go to several nearby villages to loot property and cattle, sheep and women, etc., Liu Zeqing's battalion military discipline was corrupt, more cruel than ordinary bandits, Liu Zeqing himself looked good, white face and red lips, beautiful appearance, Although the lowly thief archer can read and compose poetry, quite elegant, and has a good reputation in the officialdom, but he has a fierce temperament, and he will be repaid, there was a Yanzhou native Liu Kong and Liu Zeqing because of his poetry, Liu Zeqing was jealous of Liu Kong's family, and the conspiracy plotted against him, and finally gave him a chance to get rid of it, one day in the house to feast the son of the ancients, and brought out the two gorillas raised in the house to hold a wine urn to toast, the ancients saw the gorilla's hideous face, did not dare to take it, Liu Zeqing ordered a prisoner to be killed on the spot, Take the brain pulp and heart and liver and put it into the wine urn, if there is no one next to Liu Zeqing, eat human liver and drink brain pulp, and the guests are scared to the point that their liver and gallbladder are split.
In the big tent, the henchmen will gather together, and stationing in Lushun is the top priority, and these people are also talking about it, for fear that there will be some ill-conceived situation.
“…… Go to Qufu, through Surabaya, through Qingzhou Mansion, how can you go to Laizhou within a month, and then to Lushun for half a month, I heard that Yang Bo has recently been scraping Lushun food equipment and put it into Yangguan Fort, let's go late, I'm afraid there is no hair left" Zhu Wanhua, the general of the Biaofu Battalion, was a little anxious, although there was plenty of time, but at the moment these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals were really not angry, and there were signs of mutiny in less than ten miles today, and the burning and looting were full of spirit.
"Yes, Dashuai, we can't lose the big because of the small?" Another lieutenant general, who has always been Zhu Wanhua's horse, also hurried to speak.
Liu Zeqing's company immediately became gloomy, and the generals were not subject to foreign military orders, obviously Zhu Wanhua and many generals still did not understand the situation, and they still regarded Zhu Wanhua as a guard in the ya. However, Zhu Wanhua is going to grab the credit, he has to endure for a while, Yang Bo sits in southern Liaoning, plus the general army of the town, the prince Shaobao, and hangs the seal of the general of Zhennan, to say something unpleasant, Yang Bo's official title has come to an end, if the court is determined to deal with him, and then spend decades slowly boiling up a prince and a prince or something like retirement, now is an excellent opportunity, he Liu Zeqing is also the chief soldier of the town, why can't he be promoted to the prince and the prince, and hang the general's seal?
He has already seen Yang Sichang's plan very clearly, the first task is to cooperate with the prison army Zhang Gonggong to control Lushun and get rid of the rebellious son Yang Bo.
However, if you want to swallow the Biaofu camp, you are not in a hurry, but you have to show your dominance.
Liu Zeqing squeezed out a smile and said: "The most important thing is to grasp the timing well, if it is too late, the victory or defeat in southern Liaoning has been decided, we can't intervene, it's early, Yang Bo has ears and eyes to probe in Qingzhou or Bu, and it is a big thing to be noticed by Lushun, so we have two roads, one is to walk ten miles every day to loot the villages along the way, so that the brothers can eat and drink well, and the other is to avoid people's eyes and ears, choose Mengyin, and march in a deserted place in Yinan, which one do you choose?" ”
There was a laugh at the bottom, Liu Zeqing slowly got up again, seeing him get up, the big and small generals all stood up quickly, Liu Zeqing waved his hand, his eyes coldly swept over Zhu Wanhua, who was still sitting on the big thorn, and said: "Lord Yang, Commander Luo and other adults recommend it, but Your Majesty is still worried, you have followed me Liu for many years, and Liu has never owed you half a point, the benefits of going to Lushun this time Everyone who is not blind can see the way, but a certain ugly thing is said in front, no matter who it is, as long as there is a business trip, A certain personally cut off his head to feed Dabao Erbao, that's the case, the brothers are still good at themselves! ”
Hearing Liu Zeqing's words, everyone felt a cold air blowing, and even Zhu Wanhua was a little flustered, and stood up involuntarily.
Liu Zeqing stared at everyone again: "Father-in-law Xiao Zhang has already taken the first step and sat in Denglai to urge Yang Wenyue to mobilize sailors, but I heard that the water camp is full of Yang Bo's henchmen, so this fleet must be controlled by us, come!" Zhao Juncheng? ”
At that moment, the general of the barracks came out and said loudly: "The last general!" ”
"Give you the flag, Ben Shuai was ordered to join Lushun, and you and General Zhu of the Biaofu Battalion will take over the Denglai Navy Division first" Liu Zeqing squeezed out cold words between his teeth: "But if you dare to disobey the order, kill it!" ”
Zhao Juncheng and Zhu Wanhua, who was full of joy, hurriedly nodded: "Yes, the last general will be honored." ”
Liu Zeqing said again: "It's been hard all the way, and I'll set off early tomorrow morning!" ”
Liu Zeqing said loudly again: "Li Liangping! ”
The adjutant general of the reinforcement battalion who was patting horses on both sides hurriedly stepped forward to listen to the order.
"Anton Wei is the place where Yang Bo made his fortune, I heard that there are a thousand Xiangyong stationed in Weiwu Fort, what is the headquarters of the Jie Bai Trading Company in the fort, most of them are green-skinned scoundrels, put the seal and suck blood, make the people complain, it is really the source of trouble, you take the reinforcement battalion to rush to Anton Wei, seal all the trading companies, confiscate the treasury, and must not dispose of it arbitrarily, and wait for a certain to Dengzhou. Those who dare to resist will be severely punished according to the rules, and you will also set off tomorrow morning. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, Li Liangping was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order, for fear that Liu Zeqing would regret it if it was too late.
Li Liangping's mouth was about to laugh crookedly, Yang Bo relied on the trading company to start his business, and the name of the Jiebai trading company was known to everyone in the entire Shandong Mansion, and when he heard that the treasury was confiscated, he didn't know how many silver mountains could be copied out of it.
The faces of the people who thought they were Liu Zeqing's confidants were indignant, and there were constant whispers in the big tent, but Liu Zeqing still had an unfathomable smile...... (To be continued......)
