Chapter 196: There are ministers and thieves have no place to stand
Punch is virtuous?!
Shi Dayong froze, and all the generals were stunned: Why, the court didn't reward us, but asked us to fight that Kong Youde? What kind of business is this!
Don't worry, don't worry, maybe it's more than this holy decree. Shi Dayong comforted himself in his heart, Wang Chengen had not yet announced a holy decree.
Jinzhou achieved such a great victory, and he led his troops to Beijing to offer victory happily, and it is impossible for the Son of Heaven not to express it, and it is impossible not to express it.
Yesterday, Chongzhen Yuyin was still in his ears, and Shi Dayong didn't believe that the young Son of Heaven would be so harsh on meritorious soldiers.
Cheering up, I waited expectantly for the second decree to be read. In his ears, there were muttering voices from Li Dashan and Shao Wu, and his face couldn't help but turn black and cough lightly. Behind him, there was a sudden silence.
But after waiting for dozens of seconds, Wang Chengen seemed to disappear, and he couldn't hear a word from him anymore.
In confusion, Shi Dayong raised his head, and in his sight, Wang Chengen was looking at him with a smile, holding the holy decree of Ming Huang Se in his hand.
The Holy Decree, just one.
The father-in-law swallowed in his throat, Shi Dayong held back two words, but he didn't know what to say later.
He couldn't ask himself if the emperor had any reward for the Jinzhou army, whether he had a holy decree of grace to himself, and whether he agreed to his request to keep Liaodong forever.
General Shi, still don't get the order?
Wang Chengen's smile seems to never fade, always hanging on his face, making people look so kind and warm.
Shi Dayong had no choice but to take the holy decree from Wang Chengen's hands, kowtow and thanks: Minister Shi Dayong took the decree! Long live our emperor!
Long live my emperor, long live, long live!
The sound of Banzai behind him was sparse, and even the dissatisfaction in his tone could be heard.
Wang Chengen also noticed the dissatisfaction of Shi Dayong's subordinates, but he didn't hear it, and only smiled and said to Shi Dayong: The saint attaches great importance to the general, and our family hereby congratulates the general on his success, and captures and kills the Confucian thief in one fell swoop.
Cheng Gonggong's auspicious words, the end will not dishonor the emperor's order.
Shi Dayong replied with a false response, and then glanced at Wang Chengen unwillingly, hesitated, and finally said: Father-in-law, there will be something incomprehensible in the end, but I don't know whether to ask or not?
Wang Chengen's smile couldn't help but shrink, and his gaze slowly moved from Shi Dayong's face to the generals behind him.
Seeing this, Shi Dayong hurriedly turned around, waved his hand at his subordinates and said: You guys retreat first, I have something to discuss with my father-in-law.
All the generals hesitated a little and did not go out on the spot. Seeing this, Li Dashan, who had been on fire for a long time, couldn't help shouting: General, we are coming from Liaodong, and we should return to Liaodong, and the court will not reward us, but what kind of Kong Youde does you want us to fight, what is this? Could it be that our Liao army was raised by the stepmother, and we have to do anything to wipe our buttocks! The last general said, let's go back to Liaodong, the court wants to punch Kong Youde, and ask him to transfer someone else, let's not go!
Hearing this, Shi Dayong's face instantly turned cold, and he shouted angrily: Presumptuous! What comes from Liaodong, it should be returned to Liaodong! We are the army of the imperial court, what the emperor wants us to do, we will do it, where is your paradox! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut you with a knife! Get out of here!
checkmate
Li Dashan was in awe, Shi Dayong who launched his anger was not something he dared to contend with, when he was a bandit, he was afraid of Shi Dayong, after recruiting An, although there are often bandits who are exposed, but for Shi Dayong, it is from the bottom of his bones. Seeing the other party's cold eyes, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, didn't dare to contradict it, and walked out of the big tent.
The generals then also came out of the account, and only Wang Chengen and Shi Dayong faced each other in the account.
I don't know what General Shi wants to ask our family? Wang Chengen's tone was very flat, and there was no fluctuation on his face, as if he didn't take the words of Shi Dayong's subordinates to heart.
Wang Chengen did not blame, but Shi Dayong was uneasy, and cautiously pleaded guilty: Wang Gonggong, that person is a muddy man, he was a bandit before, and then he was recruited under the command of the last general, and the bandit on his body is difficult to get rid of, so he has this arrogant behavior. However, this person is loyal to the imperial court, and since following the last general, he has fought several battles with Jiannu, and he must take the lead in every battle, which is really rare and loyal. Xu heard the holy decree, and he didn't say anything for a while, so he was speechless, and asked his father-in-law not to take it to heart!
Wang Chengen smiled slightly, and said in a harmonious voice: General Shi, don't worry, our family is not the kind of person with many tongues. What is loyalty, what is jin, what is intentional words, what is unintentional faults, our family can still distinguish.
Hearing this, Shi Dayong was a little relieved, looking at Wang Chengen's face, it didn't seem to be fake, thinking about this character, he couldn't help but believe that he was not lying to himself.
There are no outsiders here, if General Shi has anything to ask, just ask. Our family is here, in addition to announcing the decree, and secondly, to solve the general's doubts.
Wang Chengen opened the skylight to speak, he came here for only one purpose, that is, to let this Shi Dayong, who had made great contributions in Jinzhou, go to Pingkong Youde, and there was no dissatisfaction with the court and the Son of Heaven in his heart.
Wang Chengen spoke, and Shi Dayong had nothing to hide his armpits, so he dared to ask: Dare to ask your father-in-law, why did the emperor want to go to Shandong to quell the chaos? Could it be that except for the last general, the imperial court can no longer transfer a single soldier and horse?
Wang Chengen said with a smile: The Confucian thief's department is the Dongjiang Liao soldiers, and the general is also the Liao town's soldiers, and some people in the court proposed to use the Liao soldiers to govern the Liao soldiers, so the emperor thought twice, so he asked the general's department to go to Shandong to quell the chaos.
The emperor's order is sent, and the last general will never dare to disobey the order. It's just that the last general came to Beijing to offer victory, and there are not many soldiers and horses in his department, so it may be difficult to quell the chaos.
Shi Dayong couldn't figure it out, didn't Chongzhen know that he only had 700 people here, and wouldn't it be too childish to rely on these 700 people to go to Pingshan Shandong. To put it mildly, what is the difference between Chongzhen's move and killing people with a knife?
No matter how good he is at fighting, he can't beat the ants to bite the elephant to death, and no matter how capable he is Shi Dayong, it is impossible for him to sweep away Kong Youde, who is also from Liaozhen, with only these 700 people!
Hearing Shi Dayong's tone a little angry, Wang Chengen was afraid that he would think too much, so he hurriedly said: The general should not worry about this. In addition, the general did not fight alone, but under the rule of Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, and the Lu army and the Zhejiang army cooperated in the battle, plus the local soldiers and horses in Denglai, and the Beijing camp in Shandong, the imperial court allocated a total of 40,000 troops to suppress the Confucian thieves. Therefore, the general only needs to obey the command of Governor Zhu, and there is no need to worry about fighting alone. The so-called soldiers are not many, but they are in jing, and we have also seen it, and the general's department is all jing sharp soldiers, so the division of tigers and wolves, and the fear of Kong thieves is not a problem.
After listening to what Wang Chengen said, Shi Dayong breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he didn't want to quell the chaos alone, so it was better. But with a frown, he raised an imminent conundrum.
Father-in-law, the last general will be Liaozhen soldiers and horses, here is just a tribute, did not carry grain and grass, if hurriedly transferred to Shandong to quell the chaos, this grain and salary will not be able to solve at all, may I ask my father-in-law, can the court have arrangements?
Wang Chengen smiled and said: The general is under the command of the governor of Shandong, and the Shandong side is naturally responsible for the food and salary, and the general only needs to go to the state, and the state capital will naturally provide the required grain and grass along the way.
So much better.
The worries in his heart were all resolved by Wang Chengen one by one, but Shi Dayong still seemed to be bored, and it was not a taste. Seeing him like this, Wang Chengen knew it, and said slowly: Is General Shi thinking, why did I send soldiers and horses from Jinzhou to Beijing, but I didn't see any ceremonies and rewards from the imperial court?
Wang Chengen's question made Shi Dayong a little embarrassed, but he didn't deny it. Wang Chengen didn't know if he was ashamed and blushing under the mask, but it was certain that Wang Chengen categorically didn't want to see Shi Dayong's mutilated and hideous face again.
Wang Chengen sighed and said: Alas, it's not that the saint is unwilling to hold a prisoner ceremony for the soldiers, let alone reluctant to give a reward, but the military situation in Shandong is urgent, and Dengzhou has been surrounded by Confucian thieves. Therefore, the saint had no choice but to ask the general to go south, otherwise, he was afraid that the people of Shandong would be harmed by the thieves. In fact, when the saint made this decision, he was also in a dilemma, but after weighing the severity, he could only temporarily wronged the general.
Hearing this, Shi Dayong was a little surprised: Why, the Kong thief soldiers and horses are very strong, and the local soldiers and horses in Shandong can't kill him? He didn't know who Lu Daokong Youde was, but he felt that the name was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who this person was and what his origin was. But it can make the three families of Lu Bing, Zhejiang Bing, and Jingying helpless, and it is also Jing Rui to think that this Kong Youde Department is also Jing Rui. Fang Cai Wang Chengen said that the Confucian Department was the old department of the Dongjiang River in Liao Town, but he didn't know which soldiers and horses in Liao Town he was referring to, and what it had to do with Zu Dashou.
Wang Chengen smiled bitterly and said: If Shandong can cope with it, why should the Holy Lord bitterly chill the hearts of meritorious soldiers, and a holy decree will transfer the general to the south to quell the chaos?
After Shi Dayong heard this, he didn't speak, and secretly calculated how big his victory rate was when he went south to Pingkong. Since he chose to be loyal to Chongzhen, he has no other ideas, what Chongzhen wants him to be, he will be, this is the duty of a loyal minister. It's just that Haosheng still needs to explain to his subordinates, otherwise, I'm afraid that the generals will complain about the Son of Heaven.
Shi Dayong asked so many things related to going south to quell the chaos, and he was naturally willing to go south to quell the chaos, otherwise, he wouldn't have asked these questions at all. This attitude made Wang Chengen very satisfied, and the emperor couldn't help but worry a lot, Shi Dayong was tyrannical, but he was really loyal to Daming and the emperor. If you are a other general, I am afraid that you will either make demands to the imperial court, or complain about grievances and are unwilling to transfer, and there are not many people like Shi Dayong who follow orders without thinking.
The general can rest assured that when the general returns victoriously from exterminating the Confucian thieves, the Holy Lord will definitely reward the three armies. At that time, the new and old merits will be rewarded together, and the soldiers will be satisfied.
Wang Chengen played a package ticket, which was more like giving Shi Dayong a reassurance, telling him to know that his merits had not been forgotten by the court, and the Son of Heaven had not forgotten, as long as he made new contributions, the Son of Heaven would definitely reward him.
Speaking of this, Shi Dayong has nothing to say, he has a very light view of what to reward, he is only willing to do his best to protect the Ming Dynasty, protect the people of the Ming Dynasty, protect the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest, for him, a traverser, is not so important.
Facing Wang Chengen, he bowed slightly, hugged his fists and saluted, and said earnestly: Please return to the saint, the minister Shi Dayong will go south to quell the chaos, please rest assured, but if the minister is there, there will be no place for the thief!
