Chapter 180: The Earth Emperor
After a large number of rebel corpses were cleaned out of the battlefield, Wei Zhengcai took a group of civil and military officials from Datong Mansion to set foot on the battlefield that had been stained red by the blood of the rebels.
After taking a deep breath of the smell of blood and gunpowder in the air, which had been a little absent for a long time, Wei Zheng asked Li Wenxuan and the others behind him, "Lord Li, the battle is over, do you have any ideas?" ”
For the Wei Zheng in front of him, although Li Wenxuan is full of contradictions, he both hates and admires. However, the shock brought to him by the Tiger and Leopard Army under Wei Zheng was incomparable and unprecedented.
Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng's words fell, Li Wenxuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"My lord, the strong combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army is far beyond the imagination of the lower officials. The elite of the three thousand rebels defeated them in less than half an hour, and they were all wiped out, which was beyond imagination. ”
"Xia Guan believes that the Haw Par Army under the command of the adults is stationed in Datong Mansion, and Datong Mansion will definitely not be broken by the rebels."
After Wei Zheng happily accepted Li Wenxuan's compliment, he shook his head unexpectedly under everyone's gaze.
Then, under everyone's unanswered gaze, he spoke: "Master Li thinks too highly of the Tiger and Leopard Army. No matter how powerful the Haw Par Army is, the total strength is less than 5,000. ”
"For such a force, we can only use it as a fist force, not disperse."
"That is to say, once the rebels gather heavy troops and launch an attack on our Datong Mansion in multiple ways, with the Tiger and Leopard Army as a fist force, it will definitely be impossible to defend against it. When the time comes, the garrison of Datong Mansion, which has a huge force, will become the main force to meet the battle. Like the rebels, the troops divided into multiple ways to meet them. Defend Datong Province. ”
That's when it happened. Zhang Wu and Zhou Shuyuan, who commanded the Datong garrison to clean up the battlefield. Hurriedly walked over with a smile on his face.
Deputy General Zhang Wuzhang, who rarely spoke, unexpectedly rushed in front of Zhou Shuyuan and reported: "My lord, a great victory, the Tiger and Leopard Army has won a great victory......
"This is the result of the battle just counted: 3,000 rebels, except for more than 300 people who escaped from the battlefield by luck, the remaining more than 2,600 rebels, without exception, were all wiped out."
"In addition to killing and wounding more than 2,600 rebels. We have also seized all the firearms brought by the rebels. ”
"A total of 956 arquebuses, 35 artillery pieces, and a total of more than 5,400 catties of various gunpowder and lead bullets."
"If we can equip all these firearms with the Datong garrison, we can immediately form two firearms battalions. So, please give me your permission..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Wu directly stared at Wei Zheng with a pair of eyes full of longing, hoping that Wei Zheng could fulfill his wish and distribute the seizure to himself.
Of course, this idea of Zhang Wu. In addition to wanting this batch of equipment to increase the combat effectiveness of the Datong garrison. There is also a very important reason. That is to test whether Wei Zheng sees himself as a confidant in front of him, and whether he is guarding himself.
If Wei Zheng has accepted himself and regards himself as a confidant from the bottom of his heart, then Wei Zheng will definitely not hesitate to give himself these weapons that the Haw Par Army does not look down on at all.
Looking at Zhang Wu in front of him, Wei Zheng, who was smiling, shook his head unexpectedly again.
In an instant, the expectant expression on Zhang Wu's face was replaced by disappointment, and he said to Wei Zheng with a panicked expression: "My lord, it is the last general who has overpassed." These pieces of equipment were all captured by the Haw Par Army, and it is reasonable that they should all belong to the Haw Par Army, and the general should not be greedy. ”
Wei Zheng hurriedly waved his hand, and after Wang Feng looked at him again, he said calmly: "Vice General Zhang, you are thinking too much." It's not that these equipment won't be given to you, but because these equipment is too poor, if you equip the soldiers like this, not only can you not improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but will also drag the soldiers back. ”
"So, not only will I not give you these captured muskets, but I will not give them to the Haw Par Army. Instead, they were to send them to the craftsman's camp, where they could rehab them and make new ones. ”
"As for the equipment of your Datong Mansion garrison, I can tell you for sure that there is absolutely no gap between you and the Tiger and Par Army. When the time comes, the garrison will be equipped with muskets. ”
"However, I have a prerequisite, if you want to be equipped with new muskets and artillery, you must train well and pass a series of tests by the Haw Par Army. Only in this way will the weapon not be wasted after it reaches everyone's hands. ”
"So, don't worry about weapons...... The Craftsman Battalion has made every effort to build the new muskets and artillery that everyone has seen in accordance with the military order of the General Military Office......"
Hearing this, Zhang Wu's face quickly turned from cloudy to sunny.
Because he was accepted and recognized by Wei Zheng, he was full of excitement and knelt on the ground directly because of excitement. Then, he said loudly to Wei Zheng: "Thank you for your trust, from now on, the last general will definitely obey the orders of the general, and go to the soup for the adult, and he will not hesitate to ......."
Faced with Zhang Wu's outspoken attachment, Wei Zheng was also taken aback.
Under the gaze of the surrounding civil and military officials, Wei Zheng hurriedly helped Zhang Wu up. Then, he said with a stern face: "Vice General Zhang, not loyal to me, but loyal to the imperial court, we will be loyal to the imperial court together......"
Zhang Wu immediately reacted and continued: "My lord, you are the chief soldier of the Zhengsanpin Datong Mansion appointed by the imperial court, and to be loyal to you is to be loyal to the imperial court. Therefore, the last general is not wrong, swears allegiance to the lord, and goes to the soup for the lord......"
At this time, Li Wenxuan also reacted from the sudden shock.
After the shock, a trace of awe of Wei Zheng appeared in the minds of Li Wenxuan and the others again.
The deputy general of the garrison of Datong Mansion is attached to Wei Zheng, which directly means that all the troops of Datong Province are attached to Wei Zheng. In this case, if you want military power, you have military power, and if you want the support of the imperial court, you will have the support of the imperial court, and Wei Zheng, who has become a veritable emperor of Datong Mansion.
As for the civil officials under his command, they didn't dare to say a word just in front of Wei Zheng's other identity, Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, let alone face more than 10,000 troops in Wei Zheng's hands.
Although he was full of worries about his future, Li Wenxuan still congratulated Wei Zheng with a smiling face: "My lord is really happy today?" Not only defeated the rebel vanguard, but also received a general who can fight well, which is really gratifying......"
"Congratulations, sir...... Lord Hexi ......" The civil officials behind Li Wenxuan also recognized the future form and situation of Datong Mansion from the conversation just now, followed closely behind, and said with a flattering face.
Faced with this unexpected result, Wei Zheng was happy.
Although I don't know if everyone is sincere in saying these words, at least they have done enough superficial work. It is certain that after the matter in front of him is completely spread, his prestige in Datong Mansion will definitely surpass that of the prefect Li Wenxuan and become the first person worthy of the name in Datong Mansion.
With this prestige, a series of actions in Datong Mansion in the future will become very smooth and there will be a lot less resistance. (To be continued......)
