Chapter 459: Confidence
At this moment, Zhang Shoubei, who was the first to leave the lobby of the General Military Mansion and stood behind Sun Chengzong, said excitedly: "What are you all doing, haven't you seen the adults soon......"
Several people standing in front of Sun Chengzong finally reacted. knelt on one leg and shouted in unison to Sun Chengzong: "The last general will see your lord...... Greeting the late, please atone for your sins......"
Sun Chengzong waved his hand and replied, "Don't call me Lord yet...... You should all know that the old man is no longer from the imperial court...... However, even if the old man is no longer an official of the imperial court, he is very pleased with the appearance you just made in the lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion. ”
"Because, you have proved to the old man with your actions: you are a real soldier, and you are worthy of your ancestors......"
Zhang Shoubei's eyes lit up, and he said with excitement on his face: "My lord, you also know what happened in the lobby of the General Military Mansion just now......
Sun Chengzong nodded and affirmed: "To tell you the truth, the old man not only knows, but is also the mastermind of what happened in the lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion just now......"
"Planning ......" After listening to what Sun Chengzong said, several people's faces showed doubts from the bottom of their hearts.
Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes at the same time, Sun Chengzong did not hide it, and directly told the purpose of his coming to Liaoyang City and what he saw and heard as simple and detailed as possible.
As soon as Sun Chengzong finished speaking, the short-tempered Zhang Shoubei opened his mouth and scolded: "Hateful urgency...... I really didn't expect our chief soldier to be so shameless. Not only did he betray his ancestors, but he also didn't even pay attention to you, an adult. It's simply not as good as an animal...... Your Excellency, you just killed him. It's just cheaper for him......"
Sun Chengzong nodded noncommittally. bluntly asked, "The old man who should have said it has just said it...... Tell me what to do next......"
Zhang Shoubei didn't think about it and said, "Then it doesn't need to be said, of course it's with the adults...... I don't care about the border army and the tiger and leopard army, as long as I let Lao Zhang fight the Tartars, Lao Tzu will follow whoever he wants......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Shoubei seemed to think of something, and asked Sun Chengzong with a smile on his face: "My lord, the last general has heard." In the Haw Par Army, the salaries of the soldiers are very high, is it true? ”
Sun Chengzong nodded affirmatively without the slightest concealment: "It is indeed higher than the imperial court, and it is much higher......
"You, the general of the imperial court's fourth-grade garrison, can at least be a colonel and head of the Haw Par Army when you arrive in the Tiger and Leopard Army. If you're lucky, it's possible to be a major general and division commander ......"
"In the Haw Par Army, the colonel's monthly salary is fifty-five taels of silver, and the monthly salary of the major general's division commander is seventy-five taels of silver. That is, in the Haw Par Army. Even if you don't count any other subsidies, the military salary is one item. In a year, there were six or seven hundred taels of silver...... If you count the various subsidies specially issued by the Governor's Office to officers, the income of 1,000 taels of silver a year is absolutely no longer a problem...... It's just that the military discipline of the Haw Par Army is very strict, and in the Haw Par Army, it is forbidden to deduct any military salary......"
"Shhh...... Such a high ......" After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, a burst of inhalation came out of everyone's mouth.
Among these people, Zhang Shoubei, who had the highest grade, directly exclaimed: "My lord, such a high military salary, even the cabinet ministers in the capital can't get it...... There's nothing to say, the last general believes in the adult, and from today onwards, the last general will follow the adult. As for this life, it was also sold to the Tiger and Leopard Army, because only in the Tiger and Leopard Army can they beat the Tartars happily......"
"Who would the last general be willing to join the Haw Par Army with ...... other generals," the other thousand generals replied with the same excited expressions.
You must know that the grade of these thousand generals sounds very high, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Wensheng and Wu were declining, they basically had no status at all. More importantly, they are in the border army, and the limited salaries of the soldiers have been deducted from the upper echelons, and they basically do not have their share......
Therefore, these seemingly glamorous thousands of total people have a very low monthly real income......
If you don't eat empty salaries, you just rely on the silver issued by the imperial court, and at the end of a year, you will not be able to pay less than one hundred taels.
Of course, even if you eat some empty salary against your will, after a year, the income of two hundred taels of silver in the sky will be thankful. With such a limited salary and a handful of pensions, how could they be able to fight to the death on the battlefield?
The Haw Par Army is different......
According to what Sun Chengzong just said, when the garrison general arrived at the Tiger and Leopard Army, in a year, the army salary alone was six or seven hundred taels of silver. When it comes to himself, even if it is less, four or five hundred taels, there should always be one......
The net income of four or five hundred taels of silver, and it is also the income of Zhengda and Guangming. If you can't get them excited, no one will believe you when you say it.
Facing the sincerity and burning gazes on the faces of several people, Sun Chengzong knew that these people could already be used by me.
After taking a deep breath, he said to them: "Since everyone has made a decision, then the old man is welcome......
"Now, the first thing we have to do is to control the military power of the entire Liaoyang garrison. Then, tomorrow morning, cooperate with the commander to attack and surround our Houjin Tartars. Flank from inside and outside, fight for tomorrow's battle, destroy or inflict heavy damage on these tartars. ”
"Among the dozens of remaining generals in the General Military Palace, although there are still many people who do not want to surrender to the Tartars. It's just that it tends to be the general trend and has to stay in the lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion. However, time is pressing, and the old man can't manage so much......"
"Ben Shuai's idea is that if he wants to get the military power of the entire Liaoyang garrison, he must control the generals in the lobby of the General Military Mansion in his own hands. Therefore, the old man needs your cooperation, after all, this time he entered the city, the old man only brought twenty guards. ”
Through Sun Chengzong's words, everyone immediately understood that those colleagues who were now staying in the lobby of the General Military Mansion had already been sentenced to death by Sun Chengzong and Lord Sun. In the following operation, even if they do not die, they will never have a chance to take charge of the army again.
However, at this moment, there is no time for them to hesitate.
As soon as Sun Chengzong's words fell, several people led by Zhang Shoubei replied in unison: "Please ask the chief of staff to give the order ......."
Being able to change the name of himself in such a short period of time shows that several people in front of him have joined the Haw Par Army from the bottom of their hearts.
A smile at the thought of this. Go directly to Xi'an to Sun Chengzong's face. In front of a few subordinates. asked expectantly.
"This time I came to the General Military Palace. You must all have brought your own personal guards..."
Wang Shoubei nodded, and replied with a stern face: "Chief of Staff, the current Liaoyang City is very chaotic. If we don't bring personal guards, the Tartars' ubiquitous spies will definitely attack us....therefore, the last general has brought a total of thirty personal guards, all of whom are good at one in a hundred miles in the army, and they are the absolute henchmen of the last general......
"The last general also brought ten guards. Although it can't be called one in a hundred. Against ordinary soldiers, there is still no problem with one against ten....These ten personal guards are also the henchmen carefully selected by the last general from the army, and they are definitely trustworthy. ”
"The last general brought fifteen guards.........
"The last general brought ten personal guards, all of whom can be ...... with a pair of tens."
…….
Soon, a number appeared in Sun Chengzong's mind.
Although there were only nine of the subordinates standing in front of him, there were a full one hundred and forty guards brought by the nine people.
And the remaining generals in the lobby of the General Military Palace, no matter how high their force is. There are only more than twenty people...
With the elite of one hundred and forty people and more than a dozen scout soldiers against them, it can definitely be called foolproof....
Come to think of it. A trace of confidence directly appeared on Sun Chengzong's face, and he resolutely opened his mouth and ordered: "Very good... Ben will immediately give you a warrant to the General Military Mansion, and immediately bring the guards he brought into the General Military Mansion and surround the lobby of the General Military Mansion..."
More than 100 elite border troops armed with knives and guns surrounded the lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion.
Sun Chengzong's remaining eighteen guards, directly under the leadership of Zhou Chenguang, followed Sun Chengzong, broke through the door, and entered the lobby of the General Military Mansion......
Facing Sun Chengzong, who suddenly broke into the lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion, before everyone reacted, they all thought that it was Hong Chengchou, the general soldier of Liaoyang and the envoy of economic strategy, who was discussing important matters in the back hall.
However, when they saw the faces of the people who came, there was a look of shock on everyone's faces.
However, before they could react from the shock, Sun Chengzong, who broke into the door, had already taken a step ahead and said with a smile: "Generals, no surprise, the old man hasn't seen everyone for several years..."
"How do you feel that the generals, it seems that the old man is not welcome..."
"Sun Chengzong... Lord Sun... Why did you come to Liaoyang City...... Didn't you join the Haw Par Army as the chief of staff of the Haw Par Army, why did you come to Liaoyang City..."
"Could it be that the Tiger and Leopard Army has already sent troops into Liaodong..."
"Master Sun, you are no longer an official of the imperial court, you are not welcome here..."
Sun Chengzong had just finished greeting everyone, and all kinds of exclamations came out of the mouths of these reacting generals.
There are shocks, puzzles, worries, and fears......
Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong had already walked to Wei Zheng, where the deputy general was.
What's more, in the face of Sun Chengzong, who broke in, the deputy general standing in front of everyone directly gave up his position and made a gesture to invite Sun Chengzong to take a seat.
Under everyone's gaze, Sun Chengzong did not hesitate, and directly sat in the position where Hong Chengchou should have sit.
Then, he said with a majestic face: "As the old man expected, the generals must be discussing now, how to surrender the Tartars who surrounded you-... If it weren't for the arrival of the old man, you would have discussed the results. ”
"However, to your disappointment, the old man is here, and it is impossible for you to surrender to the Tartars..."
"Now, the old man has only one request for you, that is, to lay down your arms, cooperate with the old man, take over all the military power of the Liaoyang garrison, and continue to fight the Tartars..."
"Of course, if someone doesn't cooperate, these soldiers brought by the old man are not vegetarians......
In the face of Sun Chengzong's outspoken threat, those generals who did not have too many opinions, who had always tended to the general trend, and who did not really want to surrender to the Tartars, directly showed a heartfelt panicked expression on their faces.
Of course, there are also people with a mocking smile on their faces.
slashed Sun Chengzong, who was sitting in front of him, as if he was watching a joke. (To be continued......)
