Chapter 35 The mountain rain is coming
When I went home this time, I thought that I would rest and rest, but the result was that my thoughts did not stop, I couldn't sleep all night, and my mind was full of things entrusted by His Majesty.
Although he did not often have contact with the army in peacetime, Sun Xuanhuai had more or less heard about the movements of Jianyu and knew that the Qing army had entered the territory of Datong.
His Majesty exempted the quasi-civilians in the city, but let the gentry break the money, this move is like drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and it is easy to say that the situation is still undecided at the moment, and with his own face, he can also suppress the dissatisfaction of all families.
But if His Majesty loses this battle, he doesn't dare to think about the outcome.
As for why he made the decision to take the lead in attaching to the Ming Court after hearing that Jianyu had entered the customs, it was definitely not because he had a brain fever.
In Sun Xuanhuai's view, the dispute between Zhu and Li is a normal change of dynasty, and it is a family affair, and there is nothing wrong with closing the door and saying that no one is right. But if the building is big, how is it different from the death of the country? Do you expect the barbarians to treat themselves well?
Sun Xuanhuai has been in business for many years, and the reason why he can become the "God of Wealth" in everyone's mouth is because he is a little more sober than others in adversity.
Therefore, it is a matter of resisting Jianjiao, whether it is for the Ming court or for his own family, even if he scatters his family wealth, he is willing to do it, and if he can add a few points to the chance of winning, he will increase a few points.
Such a vision is absolutely uncommon to all.
Sun Xuanhuai rushed to the government in a sedan chair, and the door was already full of people with carts, and several young scholars were commanding among them.
"Changping." Sun Xuanhuai walked out of the sedan chair and greeted one of them.
"Master Sun, why are you here, can you rest last night?" Seeing that it was Sun Xuanhuai, the scholar hurriedly came.
"The things Your Majesty ordered have not been completed, where can I sleep, and how is it going?"
"After a busy night's work, I finally lived up to the adult's instructions, all the materials were sorted out, and the people were loading the car."
The scholar who talked to him was named Du Mao, the word Changping, and he was one of the scholars of the Hanmen who was enabled by the government.
Seeing that the people were almost ready to leave, Sun Xuanhuai took Du Mao's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the barracks together." ”
"Master Sun needs to take care of his body after working hard for a long time, so leave this matter to the next generation."
"No, no, let's go."
Sun Xuanhuai was relieved, rejected Du Mao's kindness, and insisted on going together.
In the camp, Jiang Xuan got Chongzhen's secret order, and led the family to wait at the gate early, Jiang Xuan heard the news on the couch, and hurried to come, and the armor was too late to change.
"Third brother, what is the matter with such a hurry?"
Jiang Xuan's face was solemn, he didn't greet his brother, took out a yellow silk from his arms, handed it to Jiang Xuan respectfully, and said: "Lord General Soldier, this is Your Majesty's handwritten metaphor, please take a look." ”
Jiang Xuan took the yellow silk, and when he heard that Jiang Xuan did not call himself his brother and changed his name to the chief soldier, he looked at the content with a puzzled expression, this was the first time that Chongzhen conveyed the imperial decree in the form of a holy decree.
On the yellow silk, it was Chongzhen's regular script written in Taige style, and Jiang Xuan was ordered to immediately dispatch 3,000 soldiers out of the city to standby, but as for what to do, he never explained.
At the end of the handwriting, there is a large red clay bell seal body, that is, "ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity".
"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity... What does Your Majesty want to transfer? Jiang Jiu followed along.
"The list of soldiers is here." As he spoke, Jiang Xuan handed over a thick booklet, which was the final list of soldiers who trained on weekdays.
Jiang Xuan took a cursory look, then closed it, took out a bronze talisman from his waist, and handed it back to Jiang Xuan along with the handbook and the list, "Take my talisman and go and transfer troops out of the city." ”
Jiang Xuan saw that his brother looked unhappy, and he was a little ashamed in his heart, but His Majesty repeatedly told him to keep it secret, so he had no choice but to avoid suspicion, in case there was gossip.
was about to bend down and bow to his brother, but saw Jiang Xuan turn around and leave without saying a word, now the business is important, Jiang Xuan has to wait for the future to find an opportunity to explain to his brother.
Including the guards brought by Jiang Xuan, the army is divided into five battalions: front, rear, left, right, and center, most of which are Jiang Xuan's old troops.
Jiang Xuan counted each battalion one by one according to the directory, and ordered him to pack up and gather outside the camp, and also transferred some of the war horses that returned to the camp and did not collect them at night. At the same time, Sun Xuanhuai led the militia to arrive, and when he saw the commotion outside the camp, he separated some distances and asked the militiamen to line up and stop on the spot.
"Lord Sun has worked hard!" After a while, Jiang Xuan led the war horse out of the camp, and when he saw Sun Xuanhuai with his sleeves in the distance, he handed over the horse rope to his family and asked him to straighten out the ranks of soldiers on his behalf.
The two thanked each other and got straight to the point, the materials transported need to be distributed to the soldiers one by one, and how to distribute them Chongzhen has already said.
Sun Xuanhuai was careful, checked and filled in the gaps for His Majesty, considering that it was not easy for soldiers to carry with him, he took it upon himself to put together thousands of cloth packages, and put the corresponding materials in them in advance according to the amount of wrapping, and only needed to distribute the packages to the soldiers, which greatly increased the efficiency.
"Mr. Jiang, in each package, there are two wrapped cloths, eight coins of realgar, and dry food with rice and pot helmets, which are enough for ten days."
"Thank you, Lord Sun." Jiang Xuan's mouth is stupid, and he will not flatter, after thanking Sun Xuanhuai, he will go back to the army, after the queue is formed, the soldiers march and set off, and when they pass by the people in turn, they will receive the packages that are distributed.
....
Jiang Hao slowly walked home with his coat on, and Chen Zhuo, who was standing guard at the door, saw him go out in a hurry, and returned in a huff, thinking of something big? couldn't help but glance at Shangguan's expression, Jiang Hao subconsciously looked up and saw Chen Zhuo staring at him, and snorted angrily.
Chen Zhuo hurriedly withdrew his gaze, held his breath and looked straight ahead, and only let out a breath when Jiang Hao was gone.
"I proposed with him to let Jiang Xuan guard Erbao and one county, but he didn't allow it, and now he has ordered Jiang Xuan to send our soldiers out of the city, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd surnamed Zhu? What can you do with the 3,000 foot soldiers of Shang Jianyu? "The more Jiang Jiu thinks about it, the more puzzled he becomes, the more he doesn't understand, the more he doesn't feel good, the emperor just transfers troops, and he doesn't even inform me in advance!
"When I'm a soft persimmon?!" Thinking of his control over the army being weakened day by day, he couldn't help but be angry.
Jiang Hao walked around the room, slapped the table with hatred in the depths of his anger, and shouted outside the room: "Where is Yang Zhenwei? Let the fuck come to me! ”
Yang Zhenwei and Wang Jinchao are of the same rank, and they are both generals in the army, but he usually considers himself a member of Jiang Huang's family, and he also eats and lives in Jiang Huang's house.
The dignified generals are just a family of soldiers, and if there are officials who are not appropriate, they have to be dogs, which is a chaotic phenomenon of supporting the army and respecting themselves.
Yang Zhenwei pretended not to accept it at night, and went out of the city on the order of Jiang Jiu to do business, and returned tonight, for fear of disturbing the sweet dreams of adults, so he thought about reporting to Jiang Jiu during the day.
I didn't think that as soon as I fell asleep, I was woken up by my subordinates, saying that Jiang Hao had something urgent to see him.
"My lord, my subordinate Yang Zhenwei has arrived."
"How's it going?"
Yang Zhenwei looked left and right, and Jiang Hao said impatiently when he saw this: "This is Lao Tzu's inner house!" What eyes and ears can there be? Speak up! ”
Yang smiled helplessly and replied: "My lord, this matter is important, and my subordinates must not be cautious." ”
After Jiang Hao heard this, he calmed down, opened the door and closed the door after retreating, and Yang Zhenwei continued to speak: "The leader on the other side is a Han man, and his subordinates have already hooked up with him. ”
"Oh? What does he mean? Jiang Hao asked eagerly.
"Don't worry, sir."
Yang Zhenwei smiled strangely, and then said: "Let's listen to the subordinates." ”
