Chapter 144: Geng Bingwen vomited blood

In fact, Zhao Zongshou wanted to offer more prices. But He Xi refused.

He Xi said to all the generals who surrendered that they were retained in their original positions, and if they had new rewards for establishing new merits, their troops would definitely be reorganized in the future. ，

The reason why this is so is because, on the one hand, it is impossible for He Xi to retain a large number of old troops, and the Ming army has already been determined in the future. Up to 1.2 million field troops, as well as a large number of second-class defenders.

For these generals, they will be arranged in many secondary positions in the future, and it is unlikely that they will directly lead the troops.

Of course, many people feel that it is too harsh. After all, the advantages brought to the battlefield by the surrender of many generals are enormous. It is also appropriate to give a little more benefit.

This brings us to He Xi's second purpose.

That is the political position of the degraded in the future.

Today's army, except for a small part, He Xi's influence is huge. And too many generals will affect He Xi's control of the army, which has also been said before. Therefore, He Xi would rather let the battlefield fight more than put the battlefield above the court after the war.

This is to avoid the conflict between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying. is also something He Xi has to admit, he is almost a little less ruthless and vicious in terms of court schemes.

Those who want to surrender on the battlefield, after lowering the price, in fact, most of them will also surrender. It's just that it is inevitable that some more soldiers will die on the battlefield, but He Xi has given little consideration to this.

Song Sheng said, "That's too little."

Zhao Zongshou said: "General Song, I am tailor-made for you, first of all, now the new army is better than the old army, does General Song admit it?"

Song Sheng pondered for a moment and nodded. said, "Not bad."

Zhao Zongshou said: "In the future, whether Nanjing is destroyed or not, this world will be the world of the new army, I don't know if the general is in the hands of the new army or the old army?"

Song Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Naturally, it's the old army."

Song Sheng's army naturally increased a large number of firearms, and Song Sheng himself updated many drill methods and operational guidelines in imitation of the new army. But in essence, it is still the foundation of the old army, or it can be said that it is a semi-new army, but it can never be said to be a new army.

This is also the reason for repeated setbacks on the Northwest Battlefield.

Song Sheng's department, and even Geng Bingwen's department, only dared to hold on. If you don't attack, once you set up a position on the plain, it will be a copy of Fu Youde's original battle with Ye Shen, and he will definitely be defeated.

Zhao Zongshou said: "It is very difficult for General Song to have a position in the army if he wants to surrender today, after all, generals who are victorious in all aspects still have to arrange people. If I say more to the general, I'm lying to you. If I can't cash it out in the future, what can the general do to me? The reason why I told the general the truth was that I wanted to give it to my friends and get along well in the future. Generals must not underestimate the position of the principal of this military academy, in the future, all the generals and schools in the world will come from military schools, and now there is a lack of people in the army, and there are many vacancies in military schools. Only the general has a choice."

"It's hard to say in the future."

Song Sheng said, "What use do I want this military academy for?"

Zhao Zongshou said: "The biggest advantage is to arrange for the heirs to integrate into Beijing."

When Song Sheng heard this, he was immediately enlightened.

He's not too young. In the future, it will be a demote again, and the future has reached its peak. But he also has descendants.

If he serves in a military academy and arranges all the heirs of his family into it, he will also have influence in the army in the future. In addition, the heir grew up in the military and was with the most outstanding people in the army, and after a long time, who cares about the grievances of his ancestors will only think that he is a family.

You may not be able to get ahead, but it's good for future generations to be able to get ahead.

The Chinese cannot put too much emphasis on the education of future generations.

Zhao Zongshou saw that Song Sheng's heart was moved, and then said, "General Song, in fact, the matter of merit is not negotiable. If General Song comes to vote early and helps the imperial court take Guanzhong, he may not be able to seal the duke, but Uncle Hou is absolutely no problem."

"Moreover, General Song will not think that the people who are shaken in the world are just you, General Song

。 The first to come will be rewarded, and the latter will be --------."

Zhao Zongshou didn't say anything. But it seems that everything has been said.

Song Sheng took a deep breath, suddenly got up and saluted Zhao Zongshou and said, "My Song family is up and down, please sir."

Zhao Zongshou said, "It's easy to say."

He is also very happy with this result.

These people are his political resources in the future.

As a person from the Southwest Tusi, if you don't have enough connections, you won't be able to go far in the court in the future. Even his current position is very embarrassing, he is simply a political broker, and now he has contributed to persuading him to surrender, but after the world is peaceful in the future, where is his position? He hasn't landed yet.

Therefore, every general he persuaded to surrender was likely to be his future thigh, so he couldn't help but be careful.

As soon as Song Sheng fell, the road to Guanzhong suddenly opened up.

Not to mention that Song Sheng has been in Guanzhong for many years and has contacts everywhere. Many cities don't need to be attacked at all, as long as they send someone to spread the word, someone will immediately vote for them.

The army marched south, almost like a march, and encountered no obstacles at all.

The only problem was that the march was too fast. Leaving a lot of logistics behind.

The comparative railway was not repaired to Xiaoguan.

The logistics along the way were very difficult.

It is also normal to not be able to keep up with the speed of the march of the great army.

--------

At this moment, Geng Bingwen was struggling to block Qu Neng's attack, and when he heard the news of Song Sheng's surrender, he couldn't believe it at first, and then he had to believe it, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out, almost killing Geng Bingwen.

The reason why Geng Bingwen is like this is, on the one hand, the battle on the front line made this seventy-year-old man unbearable.

He is already old, and such a fierce battle will not fit his eyes for a few days, and the young people will not be able to hold on. You must know that on the other side, he has to fight against not only Qu Neng, a young man, but also a staff group, which is a team.

Geng Bingwen is not without helpers. But these people simply cannot be compared with the staff corps cultivated in Beijing.

Geng Bingwen was able to walk steadily on the battlefield in every step, and there were no big mistakes in the retreat of the army, which shows how much effort Geng Bingwen has put in. After all, in battle, retreat is the hardest thing.

This is extremely harmful to his physical and mental health. He was just worried about affecting the morale of the army, so he kept holding on.

Secondly, Geng Bingwen is desperate for the battlefield in front of him.

This despair made the condition he suppressed unbearable.

Can you not despair?

Geng Bingwen and Song Sheng didn't know each other for a day, they have worked together for a long time, and they couldn't know each other better. Therefore, Geng Bingwen regarded Song Sheng as his right-hand man and put him in the most critical position.

As soon as Song Sheng rebelled, the collapse of the situation in Guanzhong was a foregone conclusion.

If this is the case, it can't make this old man unbearable.

Geng Bingwen, who is in his seventies, has endured many major events, and he can't bear this one thing. He had actually met the collapse of Guanzhong. After all, the Qinling Tongguan Yellow River defense line he proposed before was not a whim.

There's a reason for that.

What made him unbearable was Song Sheng.

He knows Song Sheng, and Song Sheng, as a senior general of the Ming Dynasty, can actually represent many people. There are many such families in Daming, just like Song Sheng.

These people are also the founding heroes, but they are not knighted and serve as high-ranking generals, but their positions are somewhat low. In history, Zhu Yuanzhang had the confidence to kill meritorious deeds, which is the existence of these people.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed Xungui, but he enveloped these people, and it can even be said that with these people, Zhu Yuanzhang dared to kill so many heroes, and there was no chaos in the world. These people are Zhu Yuanzhang's basic plate.

Although Mei Yin's betrayal had a great impact, Mei Yin had a special place, he was a relative of the emperor, whether it was in Nanjing or Beijing, but others were different.

These people have to think about many things, at least their own relatives, their influence in the court, the future of their heirs, and so on.

Song Sheng is not a fool, and he is very shrewd and capable, since he dares to do such a thing, he must have weighed the pros and cons.
