Chapter 168: Setting an Example
This second prince gave the town army a four-pounder cannon and a large amount of gunpowder, this time he was able to defeat the Tutu department smoothly, the artillery team made great contributions, this mysterious merchant second son is naturally the first butler figure, Li Xin did not dare to slack off, even if the officials who surrounded him separately went to see the second prince with the messenger.
Lu Jiu was not at ease and led the cavalry and horse team to follow and protect his side, and on the way he expressed his dissatisfaction with this person.
"How can there be a reason for a dignified and upright general soldier to deign to see a merchant and a common man? Brother Thirteen, your temper has to be changed, since we are a big official, we have to have the appearance of a big official, otherwise it will be a cat and a dog and the thirteenth brother will go to see it, and you will also go to see it one by one? ”
Li Xin deliberately scolded with a straight face: "If you want to change this temper, the first thing you have to do is you Lu Jiu!" Ben will ask you, what is your position, and what kind of product are you? Dare to keep up with Ben? And what is the crime? ”
"This ......"
Lu Jiu was speechless for a while, and just wanted to defend himself, but Li Xin urged the war horse under his crotch to suddenly pull away and walk away. Hearing Li Xin's joking whisper, Lu Jiu realized that he had been teased, and hurriedly chased after him again.
"If you don't change, you won't change, and if you make a fool of me, what ...... will you do"
But in the depths of Lu Jiu's heart, for the first time, he felt that the distance between him and the thirteenth brother had been shortened, although Li Xin's Sanwei General was still an empty shell, but the number of military attachés of the imperial court was only one hundred and ten, but the point of being high and powerful had subtly appeared, otherwise he would not have been speechless because of Li Xin's joke.
This thought was just fleeting in Lu Jiu's mind, so he grabbed the belly of the horse and chased after Li Xin.
Li Xin came to the pavilion where the prince of the cheongsam was used as a temporary residence, but he was empty, and a servant who stayed behind handed him a letter and apologized: "The second prince suddenly received an urgent report from home, so he left in a hurry, so he had no choice but to leave a book, and hoped that the general soldier would atone for his sins!" ”
Li Xin, who was pinching the letterhead, saw that the words "General Li personally enlightened" were written on it, and a small block was neat and handsome, and he just wanted to tear open the seal. But when he saw someone hurrying and roaring, he immediately bowed down and saluted when he saw Li Xin.
"Lord General Soldier, there was a riot between the border army and the guard army, and Mao was afraid that he would not be able to subdue him, so he specially asked the Lord General Soldier to move."
He didn't know what contradictions there were between the border army and the Weisho army, but once there was a conflict between the two sides, if they were not stopped immediately, it would not be impossible for a mutiny to break out in case of blood. So he didn't want to think about it, so he stuffed the letterhead with "General Li personally enlightened" into his arms, greeted Lu Jiu, and didn't dare to slack off with the soldier.
The soldier turned left and right, and actually took Li Xin to the gate of Yanghe Weiwei Siya, and saw that this place was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. Seeing this situation, Li Xin was slightly surprised, no matter how outrageous this mutiny is, it can't be made at the gate of the Wei Siya, which one is Yang and Wei going to make trouble.
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Lu Jiu let go of his throat and shouted angrily:
"The Lord of the Three Guards is here, and the idle people are scattered!"
Immediately afterwards, the cavalry behind him also shouted in unison, and the momentum could not help but make people look sideways, and the soldiers gathered together dodged a way one after another, allowing the three guards to pass. Mao Weizhang was also surrounded in the center, and when he saw Li Xin leading the troops here, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came forward to briefly introduce the basic situation.
It turned out that it was a soldier named Zheng Sijiu, who made great contributions in this battle in the border army, and a strange person who Mao Weizhang fancied, and Jin Dayou, who scared off the Mongolian Tartars and relieved the siege of Weisi Yamen, had a conflict.
Wei Suojun was ordered by Mao Weizhang to protect Jin Dayou, and it is naturally his duty, but the border army is not a good character, one by one has long seen it clearly, Zheng Sijiu and the surnamed Jin put on a desperate posture as soon as they met, the enemy of his own brother is his own enemy, how can he fall behind in a fight? What's more, there has always been a lot of friction between the Yang and Wei Zhongwei army and the border army, and there was no big mess under the suppression of the commander Qiu Gong before. Now that the commander does not know the life and death, he has experienced Mao Weizhang's low grade, and he has no prestige in the army, so the border army does not urinate on his pot at all, and directly fights with several guards who protect Jin Dayou.
In this way, there is a tendency to be out of control, during the war, Mao Weizhang had commanded the border army in the name of the Weisi Yamen, but by this time his words had long been bad, and he was in a hurry to turn in circles. It was still a bookkeeper who reminded him to wake up like a dream, yes, the three guards are nominally in charge of these soldiers, not to mention that this person doesn't seem to be a character to mess with, and the wicked are still grinded by the wicked.
Li Xin really did not disappoint Mao Weizhang, most of the border troops in the city witnessed how the spear phalanx defeated and annihilated the Mongol Tartars, and they were both respectful and afraid of such a terrible force. The army is so realistic, and the powerful are convinced, Li Xin's words immediately calmed down, leaving only the two initiators still scuffling together in full view.
Lu Jiu sneered, got off the horse with one leg, stretched out two big hands, grabbed the collars of the two, lifted the two of them left and right with a little force, and then threw them heavily on the ground.
"Do you know that the crowd in the barracks is gathering to make trouble, and you should be beheaded according to the law!"
There were whistles in the crowd, praising Lu Jiu's good divine power. Mao Wei touched the beads of sweat on his face and hurriedly came over to plead: "General, these two are the heroes of this war, and there must be some misunderstandings, so I vented a little harder, if I cut it here, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the soldiers......"
Lu Jiu didn't talk about it and didn't say anything, what should they do now, there is only one person in the Yanghe Acropolis who has the final say, and that is Li Xin.
Only then did Li Xin come forward. "Since it was a misunderstanding, Mao Shi should look at these two people carefully, and don't cause trouble again. It's better to lock these two people up for a day and a night to calm down! ”
This intention is exactly what Mao Weizhang wants, it seems that Li Zongbing is still a very knowledgeable character, not only letting go of the two guys who almost made a mutiny, but also punishing them.
Li Xin turned around and shouted to the soldiers who surrounded the layers of soldiers: "The battle has just ended, the Tartars may still appear, the brothers have dispersed, and they all return to their posts......" The soldiers were also quite satisfied with Li Xin's disposition, since the three guards had an order, they all obeyed the order in unison!
Before the soldiers had dispersed, Heisenberg suddenly appeared with a dejected face, and talked to Li Xin in English for a while. Everyone couldn't understand it, but Li Xin probably did, and after listening to Heisenberg's words, he changed color.
Commander Yang Hewei died and died due to his serious injuries and excessive blood loss!
Even Albert, the top surgeon in the Holy Roman Empire, was helpless, and I am afraid that even Da Luo Jinxian would not be able to return to heaven.
Li Xin knew that this news should not be made public in public here, but fortunately, there were not many people in Heisenberg's Chinese dialect, so he reported it in public in his non-verbal English, otherwise once the news of Qiu Gong's death spread, it would have to cause more chaos!
It wasn't until everyone was almost scattered that Li Xin said to Mao Wei in a deep voice: "Commander Qiu has martyred the country!" ”
This news is like a bolt from the blue for Mao Weizhang, Qiu Gong has been in charge of the Yang Hewei Command Department for nearly ten years, and has an irreplaceable position in Yang Hewei, and now he is suddenly martyred, which is definitely an immeasurable loss.
This experience has been gone for a while, and I don't know what to do next.
Li Xin thought about it a little and took a group of people, including Mao Weizhang, into the Weisi Yamen, he didn't go to see how tragic Qiu Gong's death was, nor did he arrange Qiu Gong's afterlife. Instead, he went straight to the main hall of the Wei Command Envoy, and after taking his seat, he ordered his soldiers to take out the oilcloth bag he was carrying, opened it layer by layer, took out a piece of paper from it, picked up the brush on the desk and dipped it in ink on the grinding that had been ground a long time ago, and put the pen aside after a few strokes.
"Where is Yang Hewei's experience, Mao Weizhang?"
Mao Weizhang was made a mess by Li Xin's actions, and subconsciously responded when he heard him call himself:
"The lower official is here!"
Before Li Xin pushed the paper down the case, "Look at it yourself!" Mao Weizhang picked up the Zhang Zhi strangely, and only after taking a closer look was he was taken aback, this turned out to be a piece that had just been filled in and had already been stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War.
"Yang Hewei and the other officials who were in charge were all killed and wounded, and they were specially promoted to experience the experience of Mao Wei and Zhang for Yang and Wei Zhen to calm down the division, and to act as the Yang and Wei palm seal from the body of the five products."
Li Xin's farewell and this sentence made Mao Wei stand stunned on the spot, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. This confession is obviously a blank confession that has been stamped a long time ago, and it will take effect only after it is filled in and then reported. But that's not all, Li Xin let him act as the acting Yang and Wei palm seal with a word, which is equivalent to letting him take charge of the three important positions of Yang and Wei's commander, Tongzhi, and secretary with the official status of Wupin, and the power is not much more than that of the commander.
Mao Wei hesitated, did he accept this confession? After taking it, he was firmly tied to the chariot of the three guards, and he could no longer get out. If you don't pick up, you will lose a great opportunity to jump five levels in a row, which for many people may take a lifetime to cross, and some people may just blink an eye in the blink of an eye. In the end, he gritted his teeth and returned the confession to Li Xin.
"The next official is ordered! The chief soldier has an order, and Wei Zhang dares to disobey ......"
Li Xin's case applauded.
"Lord Pacification, you have only one task, and that is to do everything you can to maintain order in the city, and not to let people with ulterior motives take advantage of the chaos to make trouble."
Mao Wei Zhang took the order and put forward his own proposal.
"In this battle, Zheng Sijiu, a soldier of the border army, and Jin Dayou, a merchant in the city, have great merit, so it is better to set up two people as a model to settle people's hearts."
