Chapter 472: The morale of Li Dingguo's army is disheartened
"The lord is angry, this Duke of Qianguo has no brother and it is not from today, don't be angry first, but according to the humble opinion of his subordinates, the current Ming army is indeed powerful, and we are really useless in staying in Zhenxiong, it is indeed better to withdraw to Jiazhou, and this Duke of Qianguo is now withdrawn to Xuzhou, if we stay in Zhenxiong again, wouldn't it make him close to His Majesty? At that time, once the situation changes, if he occupies Chengdu Mansion first, we will suffer! ”
As soon as Sun Kewang's henchmen said this, Sun Kewang also regained his senses a little:
"You are very right, but General Ben is still angry, this second brother has never taken me as a big brother in his eyes, if he inherits the throne one day, how can he obey him!"
"What the lord said is not unreasonable, now there is an opportunity to rectify this Qianguo Gong, why not seize it?"
What Sun Kewang's subordinates said, Sun Kewang also understood:
"You don't want General Ben to impeach his second child and let his father punish him for the crime of losing Guizhou and Zunyi?"
"Exactly, firstly, it is to suppress the arrogance of the Duke of Qianguo, and secondly, you have to have an excuse to retreat back to Jiading, and the lord might as well say that you should have suggested that the Duke of Qianguo assist you to occupy the whole territory of Yunnan together, but the Duke of Qianguo insisted on going his own way to occupy the impoverished Guizhou, and the result was defeated and retreated to Xuzhou, so that you had to return to Jiading alone."
When Sun Kewang's subordinates said this, Sun Kewang thought so much and immediately ordered someone to write a letter to Zhang Xian to advise Li Dingguo.
Zhang Xianzhong also likes and hates Li Dingguo, happy that his righteous son is indeed invincible in leading troops to fight, and his resourcefulness is far above several other righteous sons, he can have nothing to do with Li Dingguo today, and hate that his righteous son Li Dingguo has never put himself in the right position, although it is good to remind himself to pay attention to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Zhang Xianzhong also feels that Li Dingguo inevitably has the meaning of not putting his father in his eyes.
In addition, Jinyiwei's dark line in Chengdu also deliberately publicized some ambiguous things between Li Dingguo and the Ming army, which made Zhang Xianzhong believe Sun Kewang this time, and announced that Li Dingguo should be removed from his title for losing Guizhou and Zunyi, and ordered him to temporarily be stationed in Xuzhou to make meritorious contributions.
"Son's Command!"
Li Dingguo endured his grievances and took over the will, he didn't expect that his father would reprimand him and remove his title.
Tang Ming, who was Li Dingguo's confidant, scolded even more: "Straight lady thief, this must be the state of the announcement of the Dian Kingdom, this guy is a snob!" General, you kindly reminded him, but he didn't appreciate it, just like when you rescued him from Yang Zhan's encirclement, he didn't appreciate it and bit back, this Sun Kewang, Lao Tzu can't wait to kill him! ”
"Shut up!"
Li Dingguo yelled, forcing Tang Ming to shut up.
"General, how long do you want to endure that villain, Dongmeng was laid by you, Wumeng was also laid by you, Zhenxiong was also laid by you, even if you lost the entire territory of Guizhou and Zunyi, it was a last resort, but at least the credit for the recovery of the entire Xuzhou and Jiazhou is yours, what ability does he have to hope for, and now he retreats without any responsibility, why are you not only not rewarded but have it!"
Tang Ming still couldn't help but open his mouth, and Li Dingguo kicked it directly: "Have you finished talking!" When you're done, get out of here! ”
Li Dingguo was unusually furious, and after Tang Ming left, he smashed all the furnishings in his house.
"The general seems to be going crazy again, and it seems that the holy decree passed on is not a good thing."
At this time, a low-level officer under Li Dingguo couldn't help but say to another person.
"Can you not be mad, your majesty now believes in the surname Sun, our general is not like the surname Sun will be tricky, although the victory is a lot, but in the end it is the master of high merit, do you understand?"
This man said and looked at the food brought by the man and couldn't help but be speechless: "Alas, it's bitter outside, it's bitter inside, this day is really unbearable, we are better as prisoners in the Ming army than we eat, but now when I come back, I can't even look at the meat flower." ”
"It's good to be full, what else do you choose, but you just said that it is better to be a prisoner in the Ming army than to eat this, brother, you should tell me, what are those Ming soldiers eating, what kind of people are they?"
"As long as we are prisoners, we can eat braised pork, a big bowl of fat braised pork, which is better than all our generals here, what do you say, their non-commissioned officers and officers also have their own small stoves, nutritious products, if they didn't refuse to take us in and had to let us back, I wouldn't want to come back;
And this is just a benefit, there are even better, their officers and soldiers there are equal, and the soldiers are not Qiu Ba, they are national soldiers, they have to attend classes and study at night, they can also participate in the industry, and they also have to talk about the ideal of being a soldier, for the people for the Ming Dynasty or something, what kind of activist class can be entered if they say good, some soldiers are more educated than Xiucai, I asked curiously, guess what, there are really talented soldiers who are in Xiucai! ”
"yes, that's weird!"
"No, only when such a soldier can he have face, their soldiers there are the same as scholars, they don't kneel when they see officials, they just salute!"
"Alas, I would have known that I would be a soldier of the Ming Dynasty."
Li Dingguo didn't know that the officers and soldiers he sent out to attack Tongren had begun to disturb his morale after being released back by the Ming army.
At this time, he was in an irritable mood, and he even thought about whether to simply give his father Zhang Xianzhong a request to let him go north to defend against the Manchu Qing who might go south, so that even if he died in battle, it would be better than being wronged here.
……
Zhu Youzhen got the latest news from Li Dingguo's ministry here: "You mean, Li Dingguo has just been removed from his title by Zhang Xianzhong?" Li Dingguo lost his temper, and the officers and men under his command were scattered, both resentful and resentful of the grievances of their commander-in-chief and dissatisfied with the current situation? ”
"Exactly, Your Majesty, if it is replaced by another general, if it weren't for him Li Dingguo's ability to treat his subordinates, I'm afraid he can directly reverse the water!"
Jinyi Weidu commanded Wu Mengming to reply.
"So very good, this Sun Kewang really helped me a lot, so that Zhou Ze hurried to act, and at the same time, Weng Zhengchun led the Second Corps of the Seventh Army of the Guards Army to attack Zhenxiong, forcing Sun Kewang to return to Jiazhou as soon as possible, this Sun Kewang will not return to Chengdu to break Li Dingguo's idea of inheriting the unification, how can I appease him!"
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sigh: "It's August now, the Northern Expedition is imminent, this war in the southwest must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to devote myself to the Northern Expedition!" ”
After speaking, Zhu Youzhen entered the Zunyi Military and Civilian Mansion City and announced that the Zunyi Military and Civil Mansion was officially changed to Zunyi.
In addition, Zhu Youzhen was also preparing to summon local Tusi in Zunyi to discuss the joint recovery of Sichuan.
These Tusi are all local indigenous chiefs, and they are a force that Zhu Youzhen cannot ignore.
Fortunately, these toasts are still nominally based on the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Youzhen can naturally coordinate their forces.
