Chapter 86: Troubles
Since the first "letter cannon" sounded, the Beijing division has been almost silent for the next few days and nights.
The military department has already flown to the soldiers and horses of Datong, Hejian, Liaoyang, Baoding and other six prefectures, but the mobile troops on hand in these seven towns are only 50,000 or 60,000.
In the cabinet, Yan Song looked at the notebook presented by the Ministry of War, and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
"Dazhang, that's all there is to the nine sides of the imperial court?"
Ding Rukui fell to his knees with a "poof".
"Elder Yan Ge, this is the "Ten Essentials for Preparing the Side" proposed by the lower officials and the imperial capture, and I also ask Elder Yan Ge to quickly forward it to the monarch's father!"
Weng Wanda's life and death are unknown, and there is only one Ding Rukui left in the military department.
Ding Rukui had already become a frightened bird, and then he remembered the letter that Zhan Rong had left for him.
After finding it, I immediately came to the cabinet.
Yan Songwu threw aside the notebook in Ding Rukui's hand, and walked in front of Ding Rukui with the notebook of the soldiers of the Six Prefectures in his hand.
"Plugging the defeat or can be hidden, the defeat is down, the emperor knows everything, who is to blame? Dazhang, do you know? ”
Ding Rukui's heart is also galloping.
On weekdays, the Qing military service was fully loaded.
At this juncture, the general soldiers of each town could no longer hide and tuck, and they all quietly revealed the truth to the cabinet and the military department.
It may be nothing for one person to penetrate, but if you can't stand it, you will come to the bottom of it all.
At this time, the cabinet and the military department found out that this is the bottom of it, and the court is clearly bottomless!
In previous years, it was supported by Zhou Shangwen and the border army of Xuanfu at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Xuanda has nothing to do, that is, there is nothing to do on the nine sides.
According to the system, these border troops can't even enter the city, they can only defend against the enemy outside the city, with their own shortcomings, the length of attacking the enemy, the odds of victory Ding Rukui couldn't be clearer.
"Please ask Elder Yan Ge to rescue me!"
Ding Rukui knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed.
Yan Song's hand holding the recital fell quietly, and the recital also fell to the ground.
"Wait for him Zhou Yanzhang first."
"The military department will go to the fortified wall first, but if it doesn't work, you can only wait for Kou to be full."
Yan Song is not stupid, the Son of Heaven can know that Gyeonggi has lost the battle, can he not know that the generals are hiding in the camp as the eighth king?
Obviously, it is much better to be the eighth king than not to be the eighth king.
Yan Song didn't have a choice.
"Da Zhang, the cabinet doesn't care about the next things, you just need to remember that not only Jingshi, but Gong Hua must not go wrong in any way!"
After Yan Song's reminder, Ding Rukui suddenly came back to his senses.
"Thank you Yan Ge Lao for your support, the lower officials will discuss with the relatives in Beijing, and choose the cadres to join Gonghua."
Yan Song bowed his head slightly, signaling Ding Rukui to leave.
It's just that Yan Song wants to protect not Gonghua's people, compared to the people, Gonghua's seven imperial tombs are what he is most worried about.
If I agree to enter the Qiling, his Yan family can collectively hang themselves at home.
The Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were frantically inquiring about the news of Xuanfu, but Xuanfu did not send back half a word, only a few border people brought back a few words.
When I asked the thief geometry, he replied: a lot.
In this case, in fact, the military department has already guessed the approximate.
I'm afraid that the Xuanfu has already fallen.
There was already crying in the Weng family's mansion, and the Min people in the court and the officials of Guangnan 2nd Road had also begun to visit Weng's house one after another.
Just when there was chaos inside and outside the city, Zhang Zuo quietly appeared at Ning Jue's house with a team of guards.
"Grandpa Zhang? But is the monarch going to punish me? ”
There was light in Ning Jue's eyes, and he looked at Zhang Zuo with excitement on his face.
Zhang Zuo didn't take Ning Jue seriously, but walked in front of Zhou Shangwen by himself.
"Old general...... Someone reported that you colluded with Zhan Rong and plotted to kill the prince, why don't you go back with our family. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Yande, who was originally carrying a military book in the courtyard, jumped over.
"Surnamed Zhang, are you dizzy?! You took Master Zhou away, and you people from Dongchang are going to retreat from the enemy?! ”
"Don't worry! Our family knows in our hearts, but there are thieves who framed it out of thin air, and our family just does things according to the rules, so we think that General Zhou will go to Dongchang with our family to eat tea, and ensure that we can come back before nightfall! ”
After all, Zhang Zuo is more worried about what the person who reported Zhou Shangwen will do next, and Dongchang must take precautions if he asks clearly.
"Okay, Xiao Xu, you continue to read the military book here, take care of the end, go one trip at a time, don't worry."
Zhou Shangwen was rough and had no defense, and followed Zhang Zuo into the carriage of the East Factory with a big grin.
It's just that Zhou Shangwen didn't see that in the tea shed outside Ning Jue's house, two of his own soldiers witnessed the scene when they walked into the carriage of Dongchang.
"You guys, you see it clearly, right? We are really upset for General Zhou! ”
"Our brothers were born and died outside, just to protect him, Yan Song and Yan Shifan, the two bastards of father and son, from being powerful in the court?!"
"The brothers who died in the war, they didn't pay their salaries for a year, they couldn't even pay the bereavement pension when they died in the war, and they couldn't even pay the bereavement pension to the night pot in his family surnamed Yan, a human life, and three taels of silver!"
"Hey, you two, I'm not done yet."
Looking at the departing soldier, the sergeant sitting in the tea shed sighed, drank the tea in the cup, and then carefully counted out more than twenty copper plates with his helmet.
"Shopkeeper, take another roast chicken, the children haven't eaten meat for two months, and they're growing."
"How can you be like this if you still have a long body, I'll pick a fat one for you, wait a minute."
"There's no way, the child's father is incapable."
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then without saying more, he wrapped a roast chicken in brown paper and handed it to Sergeant Na.
"Master Jun walks slowly."
An hour later, it was already twilight, and dozens of people quietly appeared outside the yamen of the military headquarters.
didn't wait for Ding Rukui to get out of the government office, and he was directly blocked by the gang of people in the government office.
"The surname is Ding, when will the reward of our brothers be paid?!"
A loud shout came, and Ding Rukui was so frightened that he shrank back and retreated back to the yamen of the military department.
"Who are you waiting for?"
"We are all soldiers from Datong, and the court has been pressing the brothers' pensions, and the family can't open the pot, so we come to ask the court for silver!"
These domestic soldiers are actually not short of salaries, and Zhou Shangwen will pay the salaries of the family soldiers first even if he pays out of his own pocket.
But they were also selected from ordinary border troops, and some of them even had brothers who died in battle among ordinary border troops.
As soon as someone said that, I couldn't hold back that breath alone.
Aggrieved, the more I think about it, the more aggrieved I become.
Ding Rukui was stunned when he heard this.
"Datong's soldiers? Didn't you say that the pension was out? ”
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as these words came out, all the soldiers who had gathered outside the yamen of the military department were red-eyed.
"Fart! Lao Tzu hasn't seen a tael of silver, where is the silver?! ”
The court said that the silver was issued, but the border army did not take the silver.
Let's just say that someone is greedy for ink from the middle.
Many people were already angry because Zhou Shangwen was taken away by Dongchang.
This is completely irrepressible.
"Where is Yan Song?! We want to see the old thief! ”
