Chapter 209: Cangzhou Eunuch
There was a sharp convulsion, which made the commander of the fourth grade wail. After pumping, no one cared about him anymore, and let him lie on the ground and flutter. In the end, like Jia Hongjiao, his subordinates in the Beijing camp found a door panel and carried it out of the city.
Beat Pei Shaokuan and captured Jia Hongjiao, this Beijing camp and the imperial horse supervisor were completely offended, and the matter had come to this point, so he was worried about the subsequent retaliation, so he might as well put aside everything and lead the army south.
After ordering him to go out of the city and camp immediately, Shi Dayong didn't bother to look at Pei Shaokuan again, and left the city as soon as he pulled the horse's head.
Seeing that Shi Dayong really led his troops out of the city, Zhao Wenqi let go of his heart, but he was still very worried, and he didn't know how he would follow up after the Liao army left.
After the camp tent was set up, Shi Dayong sent people to urge Xianghe County to send grain and grass, Zhao Wenqi did not dare to go out of the city to deal with the Liao army again, and only sent his master Deng Tai to lead a group of messengers to transport the three grains and grass needed by the Liao army. After checking and verifying, Shi Dayong signed and signed the documents in Xianghe County, and in this way, it was considered to have been requisitioned.
The soldiers of the Beijing camp who committed the crime were not much better, and they were each whipped thirty lashes. That night, the people of Xianghe, who were close to the city gate, could clearly hear the angry scolding and screams coming from outside the city.
After worrying about hanging his heart all night, Zhao Wenqi sent people out of the city to see if the Liao army had left, but found that the Liao army had already gone to the camp empty. After half an hour in the yamen, Zhao Wenqi picked up his pen and quickly reported everything that happened in the city yesterday to Shuntianfu
The holy decree asked Shi to go to Shandong to return to Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian, and the governor of Shandong was now stationed in Dezhou, so before receiving a new order, Shi Dayong had to lead to Dezhou to obey the order. The time given by the Son of Heaven is fifteen ri, and if Shi Bu fails to reach Texas within fifteen ri, it is considered a violation of military orders, and according to the Ming military system, Shi Dayong will be dealt with by military law.
It has been two days out of Beijing, and now there are only 13 days left, and Texas is more than 400 miles away, as long as there is no longer delay on the road, there is time to come.
Nineteen, Shi Dayong led his troops out of the Xianghe, all the way to Gu'an, and turned to the direction of Tianjin Wei for more than 20 miles, after the most Lu turned around and went south, went straight along the official road, passed a few counties in Hebei, and could reach Dezhou.
Along the way, Pei Shaokuan and his 1,000 Beijing battalion soldiers honestly followed behind the Jinzhou army, but they were all bitter, very reluctant, and complained about the Jinzhou army.
Some subordinates instigated Pei Shaokuan to lead his troops back to Beijing, so that he would have to follow the Liao army to die in vain. It's not for nothing to die, all the way down, there is no oil and water at all, and you have to be managed by this and that, which one can stand it.
Some officers even threatened Pei Shaokuan, saying that if this continues, it will be difficult to guarantee that the people below will not have different intentions, and if there is a mutiny, no one's head will be able to be saved.
In this regard, Pei Shaokuan pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and scolded them, saying that the thieves were poisoning the people, as an official and soldier, he didn't want to eliminate harm for the people, he only cared about protecting himself, what kind of system!
and intimidated them, if they go back like this, then it will not be him Pei Shaokuan who is unlucky, you guys will also lose their heads!
Frightened by him, those Beijing camp officers did not dare to encourage him to run anymore. Thinking about it, the military order given to them by the imperial court is to go south with the Liao army, if they don't follow the military order and run away, they will return to the capital, and what good fruits can they eat.
In this way, under the strict orders of Pei Shaokuan and the officers, coupled with the Liao army watching, the 1,000 Beijing battalion soldiers did not disperse in a hurry, causing incalculable consequences
In fact, Pei Shaokuan was really wronged, and he really had a hard time saying about the things in Xianghe City. The reason why he indulged his subordinates in misconduct, he really had no choice.
When he left Beijing, the imperial court did not allocate the money to him and his subordinates, and his subordinates were already complaining and dissatisfied. It's okay to fight a tailwind battle, wave the flag and shout, and really carry your head to the battle to kill the enemy, you don't have to think about it.
As soon as they left the capital, before they left Gyeonggi, the soldiers began to make trouble, and the camp was chaotic all day long. After the news came that Gonggong Gao had transferred the Beijing battalion to Hebei and suffered a defeat, these soldiers did not want to go to Shandong anymore, and they were clamoring to return to Beijing. What do you say that the court can't stand everyone, why do you have to work for the court
The situation is getting more and more intense, Pei Shaokuan is not a person who leads troops, his command was originally handed down by his ancestors, and he himself has no ability at all, let alone any prestige in the eyes of his subordinates.
The matter is so big that if the soldiers are not appeased, I am afraid that they will really mutiny. Pei Shaokuan was so anxious that he turned around, just as the imperial court wanted them to move to Xianghe, seeing that Xianghe County was weak and could be bullied, Pei Shaokuan's brain was hot, so he acquiesced to his subordinates to behave in the city, so that they could make some money and vent, so that they would not make trouble again.
I thought that although these soldiers were muddy, they could not do the most evil things of killing people and setting fires, at most, they would take advantage of the city and eat and drink for nothing, so that the magistrates and the officials of Kedao heard about and impeached themselves, and they could always fool the above.
Who knew that the Liao army would suddenly insert a pole into it, drive them out, and give a military order, taking himself really fucking seriously!
The whip made his buttocks hurt now, and when he thought of being beaten thirty times in vain, Pei Shaokuan couldn't get angry. If it weren't for the military order, and the Liao army was really fierce, he would have led his subordinates to run away a long time ago.
surnamed Shi, you want Lao Tzu to have a bad time, and Lao Tzu also wants you to have a bad time!
Along the way, Pei Shaokuan looks forward to one thing every day, that is, when Gonggong Gao will send someone to clean up Shi Dayong.
But after looking forward to it for a few days, he didn't expect anyone to come, as if the Yongwei Battalion detained in the camp by the Liao Army did not exist at all, which made him wonder, thinking that with Gao's father-in-law's reliance on the Yongwei Battalion, he had no reason to ignore this?
Besides, the Liao army made such a big move in Xianghe County, and there was no reason for the magistrate not to pay tribute to Lu Shang, how could the imperial court ignore the news when it received it?
A series of doubts made Pei Shaokuan more and more difficult to feel at ease, if the court and Gonggong Gao had not taken care of it, wouldn't he really have to go with the Liao army to fight that damn Confucian thief?
This ri, after traveling to Cangzhou, Hebei, as usual, sent people to collect grain and grass from Cangzhou Mansion with official documents, Shi Dayong ordered him to camp at Wuliqiao outside the city.
The encampment and logistics matters are now on the head of the Beijing camp, and what the Jinzhou army has to do is to watch and inspect.
Shao Wu and the others saw that the equipment of the Beijing camp was good, so they proposed to Shi Dayong to snatch the equipment of the Beijing camp for their own use. But Shi Dayong refused without hesitation, no matter how poor his Jinzhou army was, it was always the army of the imperial court; No matter how wasteful he is in the Beijing camp, he is always the army of the imperial court. How can there be any reason for officials and soldiers to rob friendly troops!
In Xianghe, he justified the marching order of the Beijing camp, and there were 10,000 truths. But if this robbed the equipment of the Beijing camp, he didn't have a reason. If it's not good, the Son of Heaven really thinks that he is dominant.
When summoned by the platform, Shi Dayong still remembered the situation questioned by the Son of Heaven in his heart, and he still had lingering palpitations at the moment, reminding himself from time to time to do things wisely. Some things are thunder pools, and you can't take a single step!
The Cangzhou government had learned from the Tang newspaper that the Liao army was going south to Shandong to quell the rebellion, and also knew that Shandong and Denglai were making trouble in Kong Youde, so after receiving the official letter, they quickly organized the people to send the grain and grass needed by the Shi Ministry. and invited the Liao army into the city, but was also rejected by Shi Dayong.
On the trip to the south, Shi Dayong's principle is not to enter a city and not to disturb a people.
His principle was to prevent his subordinates from causing trouble, being fascinated by the prosperity of the city, and losing motivation. But he received a benefit, that is, the counties where the Liao army passed, all of which had official documents on the imperial court, praised the Liao army and the Qi family army back then, and did not commit any crimes against the people, which was really a rare strong army.
Of course, how these prefectures and counties evaluate the Jinzhou Army, Shi Dayong does not know what to do. He only knew that he was getting closer and closer to Shandong, and the Tang newspaper said that the situation in Dengzhou was getting worse and worse, and the Confucian thieves had also divided their troops to invade the south, and the northern part of Shandong was already in chaos.
It has always been chaotic, and the best result is to control it in a small area, if it is allowed to spread, it will not be easy to clean up. Now Kong Youde's rebellion is vaguely a copy of the civil unrest in the northwest, except that one is spreading from the northwest to the Central Plains, and the other is spreading from Hebei to Shandong. The essence of both is to flow strings, if you don't do encirclement and suppression, I'm afraid that you will lose the initiative
That night, the Jinzhou army and the Beijing camp rested in Cangzhou, and the next morning, Shi Dayong was about to order the battalions to pack up their things, but a pro-soldier ran panting to report: General, there are a group of eunuchs outside the battalion!
A bunch of eunuchs came?!
Shi Dayong was stunned when he heard this, and was curious, how could a group of eunuchs come to his camp and ask the pro-soldier: Do you know which yamen's father-in-law from the inner court came? The soldier replied: The little one asked, and those eunuchs said that they were the people of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
The people of the Imperial Horse Warden?
Shi Dayong was taken aback, knowing that the other party must have come for the Yongwei Battalion detained in the camp, but he didn't know what the identity of the person who came, if their palm prints and the eunuchs of the Admiral Jingying came to sneak in, then they were afraid that it would be difficult for them to deal with.
After instructing Guo Yi to call the generals, Shi Dayong led them to the camp gate, only to see five or six white-faced and beardless eunuchs talking to the guards outside the gate. On one side, there was also a group of soldiers from the Beijing camp lined up there, there were not many people, only a few dozen people, thinking about escorting the men and horses.
When he got to the front, he heard clearly that the eunuchs were teaching the guards a lesson.
You guys who don't have long eyes, who is our family, don't you know the way? Open your dog's eyes wide, our family is the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, the right-hand man of Gao Gonggong, even if you are in the future, you have to pay a big salute when you see our family. You Qiu Ba, dare to obstruct our family, don't you want to die?
The guards didn't dare to refute, they knew that these eunuchs were from the palace, so they didn't dare to scold them. However, the general has ordered that no one shall be put into the barracks without being notified, otherwise military law will be involved. Therefore, they did not dare to let them go, so they had to let these eunuchs shout and curse there, pretending to be deaf and dumb and ignore them.
Their attitude can make these eunuchs angry, and you and I scolded them in a sharp voice.
A few fathers-in-law are angry! The sergeants just carried out the military orders, and the father-in-law couldn't be angry with them.
Shi Dayong didn't want to have too much conflict with Gao Qiqian's people, although he couldn't get used to the style of these eunuchs, he didn't have a seizure, but persuaded him with good words.
Seeing that someone in charge finally came out, the eunuchs immediately surrounded him, and the eunuch stared at Shi Dayong twice, and asked casually: You are the Jinzhou general Shi Dayong?
The general is Shi Dayong, I don't know what a few fathers-in-law have to do? Shi Dayong behaved quite politely.
Do you think our family is full and comes to you?
The eunuch snorted, obviously moving his dissatisfaction with the guards to Shi Dayong, how did you bring the soldiers, and do they still have the court in their eyes? Who are we from? Our family represents the Son of Heaven! Our family came to your camp for official business, but your Liao army stopped our family outside the camp, this is not disrespectful to the saints!
