Chapter 285: Strong Soldiers
The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were not afraid of soldiers, they even dared to scold the emperor, and the little Qiu Ba counted something. But if it's a guest soldier, it's a different story. These people are corrupting the place, and then slapping their butts and leaving, and the big lawsuit will also be fought by the local government and their territories, and it is difficult to deal with them according to the law.
Because the guest soldiers were uprooted from their homes, they often had great affection, and in addition to problems such as non-payment of salaries, there were constant frictions with the localities. For this kind of lawless and unscrupulous troops, the talents don't want to suffer this immediate loss. Besides, on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River, the reputation of the Zhejiang soldiers is too great, and the officers and soldiers are not opponents when the Japanese invaders make a lot of trouble. Such troops are all descended from the heavens, so it is better not to provoke.
was troubled by these Zhejiang soldiers, and many of the people came back to their senses, they obviously received money to come to the platform to join in the fun, why were they confused, and they wanted to rush the yamen? The voice became smaller and smaller, those Zhejiang soldiers had to ignore people, Wu Tiande gave an order, the spearman took a few steps forward, and raised the big gun in his hand, just waiting for the commander to give an order, he was about to pounce and stab people.
"Let's disperse quickly, do you really have to wait, the old men of the Zhejiang soldiers can't do it?" Zheng Guobao shouted on the steps, "Lao Rui, bring someone to fight me!" ”
Listening to the commander's words, the one hundred and ten foreign soldiers of Reinstein rushed towards the crowd of people, these people were tall and powerful, and they had armor to protect themselves, but with a few punches, they spurted blood from their mouths and noses. As soon as those Zhejiang soldiers shouted again, no one dared to wait, and they scattered and fled for a while, and the wolves rushed to the pigs.
When the rebellious people were dispersed, Zheng Guobao said: "Thanks to General Wu's timely arrival." Otherwise, this popular uprising does not know how to quell it. I owe you a favor this time. ”
Wu Tiande said in a panic, "Uncle Guo, if you say this, you will kill the villain." If there is no support from my uncle, how can I have today, and how can I have a good life as a soldier in Zhejiang, this kindness will not be repaid. This time, the last general was also ordered by Pan Shuai to come to Yangzhou to protect him, but he didn't know that he would catch up with such a gear. ”
Everyone talked and entered the yamen. Only then did I know that Wu Tiande had just arrived in Baoding not long ago, and he caught up with someone in the court to impeach his uncle Wu Weizhong for being a god in the army, and his official position was all based on paying money from his ranks, and he had no real ability. Although this accusation is made out of nothing, military generals are inherently at a disadvantage to civilian officials, not to mention the embarrassing status of Zhejiang soldiers. Where can it be said clearly.
However, this twist was reprimanded by Shen Shixing, and Zheng Niangniang's family of people took action to demote the person from Beijing. This was something that I didn't even dare to think about in the past, whether it was Shen Shixing or Zheng Niangniang, what does it have to do with Zhejiang soldiers? Did the offender stand out for the Zhejiang soldier system?
Now it's because of Zheng Guobao's relationship. Zhejiang Bing can be regarded as having a relationship with Zheng Niangniang, and only then did the big nobles in the palace make a move. The life of the Zhejiang soldiers in various places is also much better, and many local officials take the initiative to pay money to make up for the arrears, and some are from the mine tax supervisor to make up for the shortfall. Reinvigorate this force, which was already on the verge of disbanding. Wanli also issued an order to organize five battalions of Zhejiang soldiers in Yiwu, Zhejiang. In preparation for coastal defense.
Wu Tiande was also reappointed from the Ministry of War to Fengyang as a general, responsible for protecting Cao. The amount of Daming Cao's grain is millions of stones every year, and a little leakage is enough to support Wu Tiande, how is this not a fat difference? Even this Zhejiang soldier is also Fengyang's guard, sent to Yangzhou by the newly appointed governor Pan Jitao to protect the safety of Qincha.
Although this Pan Yinchuan is a Gengjie person, he doesn't know much about the twists and turns of officialdom, but he is also an old minister of Jiangling, and he is not a tendon of Hai Rui's unsympathetic nature. He knew very well how he came to be the governor, and what was even clearer was that the Gangneung Party had finally waited for an opportunity to re-emerge, and he must not let it go, let alone let the nobles of the Gangneung Party make a mistake. Therefore, this battalion of Zhejiang soldiers was given the best equipment, and double the amount of silver, only let them protect Qincha.
Yangzhou is rich and rich, the world knows it, and being able to eat in Yangzhou is not worse than Fengyang, and these Zhejiang soldiers are also happy in their hearts. Zheng Guobao saw that the Zhejiang soldiers in this battalion were brightly dressed and armored, and the soldiers were full of energy, and his heart was happy. Regardless of Fengyang's side, he first gave everyone a military salary, and when the banquet was held in the evening, he killed dozens of big fat pigs. Those guards, guerrillas and others have suffered all these years, but this time they have been relieved of their slander, and they can't help but praise Uncle Guo for really looking up to these martial artists.
A garrison surnamed Chen said: "Back then, my uncle followed Qi Shaobao to fight the Japanese invaders, went north to fight Mongolia, and also made a big official position, with a three-grade future on his head. The result? Even a person looks down on us, and the martial arts are worthless. When Grandpa Qi is gone, we will become the children of the stepmother, and the poor will soon be pants. If it weren't for Uncle Guo, I would have stopped being a soldier a long time ago. I can eat and drink with Uncle Guo today, and I don't even dare to think about it, Uncle Guo is interesting enough. Our Zhejiang soldiers have clear grievances, there is kindness to repay kindness, there is revenge and revenge, Uncle Guo, you just command, let us arrest whoever we catch, let us cut whoever we want. We don't have a second word. ”
Zheng Guobao was originally worried that the two Huai people would be fierce, and Huaibei would be able to raise horses, but in later generations, this would be a place to twist and twist, so he didn't dare to be careless. At present, the military will is available, and it is not concealed, "Is this arrest, it is indeed necessary to arrest a group." However, I am afraid that this person will be in some trouble when he is arrested. Wanshou inspection, the camp officer in the Zaoyong camp, has to take more. They don't vacate the space, so how can you settle here? But these people have roots, it's not easy to pick up, it's not easy to say, but it's going to make a mess. ”
The Zhejiang soldiers who guarded the treasury also shared the meat and military salary, and several chief officers who led the team heard this, and they were all moved. Uncle Zheng Guo replaced the officials of the Yamen of Lianghuai Salt Road with his own people, who doesn't know such a big hand? Naturally, I didn't expect to sit in these positions. But if the soldiers in Yangzhou are replaced by their own people, then this first source of money in the Ming Dynasty, even if it is occupied by Zhejiang soldiers, as long as it is occupied, there is no reason to let it out, who can not be tempted? only looked at Wu Tiande, the supreme commander of the Zhejiang soldiers here.
Wu Tiande raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl, "Uncle Guo, the villain will use the strength of the wine to say a few big words here." The third battalion of Zaoyong, what is it? A group of salt merchants raised a nursing home, dare to compare with us? When we fought the Japanese and the northern captives, where were they? These people, in our eyes, are not even soldiers. As long as you say a word, we will arrest them now, and whoever dares to resist will be killed on the spot. ”
"Yes, Uncle Guo, this time we are a whole battalion, and there is also an artillery team, and there are all kinds of Francophone machines and tiger squat guns. When they arrived at the place, they were bombarded with random artillery, and these turtles forgot to live, could they still live there? As long as you give orders, we dare to take people. ”
"Yes, very. It's getting late today, so you'd better eat this meal first, and wait until tomorrow, and it's not too late for us to think about arresting people. ”
When Wu Tiande heard this, he stood up and shouted: "Zhe Bing'erlang, put the bowl down, don't eat it!" For the sake of our fathers and fellow villagers, the time has come for our wives and children to fight for their origins. ”
These soldiers were eating and drinking very lively, but after the order was given, everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks and assembled into a team according to their belongings. Those who could not stand in the yamen lined up outside the yamen, the formation was strict and orderly, silent, and no one shouted or screamed.
"The first battalion and one sentry of the Zhejiang soldiers are all here, and we only ask the uncle to order, let us arrest whoever we want." Wu Tiande came to Zheng Guobao and knelt down on one leg to beg for orders. Zheng Guobao nodded, "Since that's the case, then I'm not welcome." Wu Tiande, take your Zhejiang soldiers and arrest me overnight. I want you to take control of the Yangzhou Zaoyong camp, the city defense, and the men and horses of the large and small yamen. What can you do? ”
"The last will obey."
Seeing that these Zhejiang soldiers lined up and disappeared into the night one by one, Ren Yingying grabbed Zheng Guobao's hand and said: "No wonder my father said at the beginning, if anyone still thinks about rebellion now, he is a great sinner of the Divine Sect, and he should correct the law on the spot." There is such a corps in the imperial court, how can we do it? It's better to make more money, it's serious. ”
"Yes, the old father-in-law is a person who understands, but it's a pity that Dongfang is undefeated and doesn't know the current affairs, and if he is allowed to conquer the world with martial arts, he will inevitably be defeated. When I get all the military power in Yangzhou, are we still worried about having no money? ”
