Chapter Forty-Eight: Serving the Country with Loyalty, Li Zicheng
"Them."
Li Yunze stretched out his hand and pointed at Meng Qiaofang and the others, "I deducted the reward I gave you, and refused to admit my guilt and resisted to the end." ”
"The army has drawn out the banner of war, and today I will borrow their heads. If anyone is willing to go with them, they can stand up now. ”
Those who were willing to stand up have now fallen at gunpoint. The rest of the people, looking at the Jingying armor soldiers all around, all wisely chose to be silent.
After waiting for a while, seeing that no one came out, Li Yunze waved his hand directly, "Send them on the road." ”
After the heads of Meng Qiaofang and the others were hung high, Li Yunze came to the front of the generals of Guanning, "Ladies and gentlemen, and follow me, the soldiers and horses are now under the command of me personally. Can you have any objections? ”
At this time, where will the generals of the Guanning Army have a chance to say no.
Whoever dares to jump out of his mouth without saying a word, there will be a few more heads on the flagpole over there.
"The ministers are loyal to Your Majesty, and the Guanning Army is Your Majesty's soldiers and horses, and they are at Your Majesty's disposal."
Li Yunze's methods of dealing with Guan Ningjun were the same as when he went to Jiangnan before.
In the name of Yingjia, all the generals above the capital division were gathered.
first numb his heart, and then make excuses to take them all, and firmly control them.
Without a leader, it won't be a big deal if you want to make trouble.
Of course, the generals of the Guanning Army are different from the civil and military nobles of Jiangnan, their counter-attacking power is too strong, and Li Yunze also needs more auxiliary means.
A large number of middle- and low-level generals were promoted from the Guanning Army, and a group of generals who had already been prepared were arranged to serve as generals.
Some of the generals of various ministries were transferred to the Beijing camp.
In the end, Sun Chengzong came forward to appease, at least on the surface, Guan Ningjun was temporarily controlled here.
Of course, only temporarily.
These Northland army leaders are not comparable to the wastes in Jiangnan, and there will inevitably be a counterattack in the future.
The famous king of backstabbing in the history books, even if Li Yunze didn't expect them to have much combat effectiveness, he didn't dare to hand over the back road to Guan Ningjun regardless of it.
Three days later, when Li Yunze set off from Shanhaiguan to the north, he obviously noticed that Sun Chengzong, who was accompanying him, was much older.
"Long live, the Guanning armies are the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, why should they be treated like this."
Li Yunze's treatment of Guan Ningjun as almost a rebel army dealt a huge blow to the old man.
"How the annual salary of millions of taels is spent, Sun Qing's family knows better than me." Li Yunze, who rode forward, responded unhurriedly, "They have been raised, and they can't go back to their previous days." Rather than waiting for the future to make trouble when the salary is cancelled, it is better to solve the problem now. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yunze looked at Sun Chengzong sincerely, "I'm helping them and giving them a chance to live." ”
Guan Ningjun's reputation is so bad that it is rare even in the thousand-year-old history books.
When Wu Sangui raised troops against the Tartars in Yunnan, even the rebels from all walks of life who had a deep hatred for the Tartars, none of them were willing to help them.
There are so many treacherous and backstabbing allies that the whole world spurns them and everyone looks down on them.
"Hooray."
Sun Chengzong trembled and saluted, "After this battle, minister, beggar bones." ”
"Yes." Li Yunze didn't pretend to keep it, he knew very well that Sun Chengzong really didn't want to do it, "I won't forget Sun Qing's credit." ”
"Minister... Long live Xie. ”
He didn't care about leaving a name in history at this time, but he was just sad why the emperor looked down on Guan Ningjun so much.
What did Guan Ningjun do wrong~~~
The army passed by Ningyuan Fort, and Li Yunze did not enter the city but camped outside the city.
At this time, Man Gui had led the five military camps and the cavalry of various departments in Guanning to arrive at the Daling River, and Zhao led the Shenshu battalion to supervise the grain and grass before and after the Shanhaiguan Pass, and rectify the military forts everywhere.
Only the Shenji Battalion was followed by Li Yunze, plus tens of thousands of non-commissioned officers of the Guanning Army.
On the evening at the end of October, the autumn wind blows.
Li Yunze, who was debugging drones in the Chinese army's tent, suddenly heard a commotion and fighting outside, and countless shaking torches lit up the camp tent.
Outside the big tent, Luo Yangxing shouted eagerly: "Long live!" There are rebels besieging the camp, please long live the quick move! ”
Hearing this, Wang Chengen, who was frightened, hurriedly stepped forward and trembled to help Li Yunze run away.
"Get out of the way!"
Raising his hand to push Wang Chengen away, Li Yunze, whose face was like water, first sorted out the body armor on his body, and then took off the gold armor and put it on himself.
After finishing this, he picked up the Yongle Sword and walked out.
Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, all of them are people.
The innermost layer is Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei, in the past, when they raided the house, they were majestic and impermanent, but now they are all pale and pale, as if they have suffered dozens of big pockets.
When they go to the battlefield and face a real army, they are really not worth mentioning.
Luo Yangxing, whose face was a little distorted, hurriedly pounced over and pulled Li Yunze's arm: "Long live, go quickly." ”
"Get out of the way!"
With a scolding, the frightened Luo Yang was at a loss.
"Panic what! My army is all around me, and the safest place in the world is here! "These words were deliberately said to the many sergeants of the Divine Machine Battalion outside.
Sure enough, the armorers who were densely packed outside were obviously more upright.
Luo Yangxing didn't dare to speak, but he jumped to his feet in a hurry.
He is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and if the rebels gain power, he will definitely not end well.
Even if he escaped and returned to the capital, the crime of losing the emperor would make him drag his whole family on the road together.
At this moment, it is really six gods and no masters.
Li Yunze calmly shouted, "Where is Cao Bianjiao?" ”
After a lot of effort, a member of the armor and a soldier Jia Ye came over and saluted sonorously, "Long live the words, General Cao is quelling the rebellion." ”
From this aspect, Cao Bianjiao is obviously a rectum who doesn't know how to be an official.
At this time, the most important thing is to show your face in front of the emperor, after all, there is no higher merit than saving the driver.
And he was busy quelling the rebellion, and there was no doubt that he was an upright and loyal minister who didn't know how to do superficial things.
"Cao Qing did a good job." Li Yunze, who took a few steps forward, looked at the extraordinary looking soldier in front of him, "Who is Qing?" ”
"Minister, the minister of the first division of the army in the Shenji Battalion, the commander of the thousand general powers, Li Zicheng, the commander of the capital, will meet long live."
The Shenji Battalion has jurisdiction over five battalions: the middle army, the left sentry, the right sentry, the left sentry, and the right outpost, and each battalion has several divisions and horses.
And the Chinese army is led by Cao Bianjiao, and the first division is the pro-soldier among the pro-soldiers, and it must be the strongest in combat.
The previous Jia Si Dusi was also a close confidant of Cao Bianjiao, and was transferred to the Guanning Army to serve as a guerrilla rectification and control of military power.
Because many generals were transferred to control the Guanning Army, middle and low-level officers like Li Zicheng, who were valued by Cao Bianjiao and had served as the emperor's guard, were promoted.
Now it is in the capacity of President Qian, and the right to know is to temporarily replace the position of the capital secretary of A.
Normally, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, you can cancel the word "right to know" after a while.
Li Yunze didn't care about these at all, he looked at the man in front of him with a strange expression, "Your name... Li Zicheng? ”
"Long live Hui." Li Zicheng, who didn't understand why the emperor cared about his name, bowed his head deeply, "The minister is indeed named Li Zicheng." ”
"Listen to your accent." Li Yunze was stunned, "Shaanxi people? ”
"Yes, the minister is a native of Mizhi, Shaanxi, and he was a post man at Yinchuan Station. When Governor Sun recruited his troops into the new army, his ministers moved to the capital with the army. ”
"Ha~~~" Li Yunze shook his head and smiled.
He really never deliberately targeted anyone, whether it was Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, it was the same for him.
Because Li Yunze knows very well that even if Li Zicheng is killed in advance, Zhao Qiansun Zicheng will still come out.
What he never expected was that Li Zicheng actually became a personal guard beside him.
At this time, if you give him a history of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that Li Zicheng's expression will be very exciting.
King Chuang led people to protect Emperor Chongzhen...
"Hahaha~~~" Li Yunze laughed loudly, and everyone around him looked at each other, not understanding what was funny at all.
Finally stopped laughing, Li Yunze waved his hand and signaled Luo Yangxing, "Don't pestle here, go to the generals of the Guanning Army to watch, and pull someone from your Luo family to fill in if you run away." ”
immediately turned his head to look at Li Zicheng, and the words were meaningful, "Li Zicheng, do things well, make meritorious contributions, and I will not treat you badly." ”
"Ministers must be smeared with liver and brain, and serve the country loyally!"
Li Yunze saw very clearly, except for the Beijing camp, there was the Guanning Army in these four weeks, and the identity of the rebels naturally did not need to be said.
Those who can incite the rebellion of the soldiers and horses must also be those generals of the Guanning army who are locked up in the camp.
"The guards are so strict, and they can still spread the news, and they have the ability, so they deserve to be the head snake." Pick up the maza, put it directly on the ground and sit down, "I want to see if I can suppress you ground snakes." ”
Li Zicheng on the side was full of admiration, feeling that the emperor could be so calm at such a time, without the slightest intention of escaping, there was no doubt that he was the Son of Heaven.
I am famous in front of the emperor this time, and the future can be expected.
Cao Bianjiao's ability was very good, and he strictly ordered all departments to guard the camp and not leave the camp, and personally led the Chinese army to meet the chaotic soldiers attacking the camp.
It had only been about half an hour, and the noise outside the camp had gradually subsided.
In the sound of the howling night wind, there were wails and screams.
Cao Bianjiao, whose armor was stained with blood, walked quickly in front of Li Yunze and saluted, "Long live, the Guanning army is in turmoil, and the minister has defeated the rebel army." ”
"Well done." Li Yunze, who stood up, nodded with satisfaction, "You don't have to pursue, everything will wait until dawn." ”
There was no need to say anything, just turn around and go back to the big tent to rest.
Early the next morning, Li Yunze, who had breakfast, summoned the generals of the Guanning Army.
"I know what happened last night." Li Yunze's expression was very flat, as if he was asking if the big guy had eaten.
He did know before that the military leaders of the North were not the same as the junk in the South. They really dare to use knives.
But Guan Ningjun's side rebelled without hesitation, which still made him feel the pressure.
But it's just the pressure.
Since the decision has been made, of course, it is a sideways push all the way, and it is impossible to stop halfway.
He will not compromise with the Guan Ning army, which already has the image of a feudal town, since he wants to solve the problem, he will solve it thoroughly.
"Hooray." The burly ancestor saluted, "We only heard the sound of fighting last night, and we didn't know what happened." ”
Looking up at him lightly, Li Yunze was silent for a moment, "The Guanning army is in rebellion." ”
The generals of the Guanning army bowed down one after another, claiming that it was a capital crime.
Zu Dashou was even more tearful, "The ministers are waiting for the capital crime, and I am willing to persuade the soldiers to return to the camp for long live." ”
According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing is usually the first to surrender. It's like the kind of Qi family army that was assembled and slaughtered, which belongs to bullying the guest army.
Their minds are also very clear, they just want Li Yunze to let them out.
As long as you can get out of trouble and get back the military power, it will be much more convenient to take whatever road you want to take when the time comes.
Silently looking at the many military leaders in front of him, Li Yunze smiled silently, "Yang Wenkui, Yang Shengyuan, Bai Yangcui, Zhang Hongmo, Gao Guanghui, Fang Xianke... Their own soldiers joined the rebellion. ”
After reading the names of more than a dozen people in one breath, after a pause, he turned his head and motioned to Cao Bianjiao, "Drag it out and cut it." ”
The generals of Guan Ning were shocked.
I wanted to put pressure on the emperor to release them, or simply succeed at best.
I didn't expect the emperor to be so stubborn, and he didn't have the idea of backing down at all.
"The ministers are wronged~~~"
Yang Wenkui and others shouted grievances, Zu Dashou and others blocked them, and there was some chaos in the big tent for a while.
"Wronged?" Li Yunze slowly stood up.
There was an instant silence in the big tent, and everyone's eyes were on him.
In the sound of 'choking', he stretched out his hand and pulled out the Yongle sword, and walked towards the generals step by step, "The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not die on the battlefield, but they died under your ambitions. ”
Walking behind Yang Wenkui, who was suppressed by the armor, looking at the desperately struggling head in front of him, Li Yunze slowly raised the Yongle Sword.
"Wronged you, Le Ge!"
