This has always been the case at the end of dynasties. This Ming Dynasty, in the army, especially in the towns of Liaodong, the general soldiers of each town have their own calculations, and they are all old oilers.

Earning money and drinking the blood of soldiers is a good hand, and it is terrible to fight a war. It has never been said that any famous general is a national hero and a martyr of the family and country.

On the contrary, there are many unknown people, middle and low-level officers, and there is still some blood.

If it weren't for the fact that the food and salary were in the hands of the imperial court, the general soldiers of the towns in Liaodong would have become warlords.

The current situation is not very good for the total troops of the towns in Liaodong. The key lies in the defeat of the Tartars. When the Tartars were fierce, the persecution was very urgent, and the military salaries of the DPRK and China were very small, and they would get as much as they wanted. But now that the Tartars have been defeated and become a shrunken turtle, the situation seems to show that the importance of the soldiers and horses in the towns of Liaodong has decreased.

First of all, in terms of food and salary, the imperial court will definitely not be as generous as before. It is not easy to drink the blood of soldiers, it is difficult to make money, and for many of them, it is naturally unhappy.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers at the bottom rejoiced at the victory of the First Battle of Jinzhou. But for a cadre of general soldiers and others, the mood is complicated.

There is no way to make a fortune.

When Zhao Yu went to Liaodong with the expectations of the crown prince and the emperor's holy decree, the elders of the cabinet also sent people to the general army of various towns in Liaodong to say something.

There is only one purpose, to prevent the prince from transferring troops.

But a few old things in the cabinet department overestimated their authority.

Without exception, the people sent by several bigwigs in the cabinet were only temporarily stabilized and did not give a clear answer. The general soldiers of all towns are actually waiting, waiting for Zhao Yu's arrival.

In fact, they are also hesitating.

Just like Ma Ke, while he was afraid of Zhao Yu in his heart, he was actually afraid that his military power would be lost because of this. Now that troubled times are coming, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. A soldier is the king of grass.

If they go to the military power, they are useless.

Tangled.

Then, Mako's master began to lobby.

This one is indeed an iron-toothed and copper-toothed man, with a three-inch incorruptible tongue, he knows what he understands with emotion, but he actually said that the general soldiers of all towns came.

Zhao Yu stayed in Shanhaiguan for two days, and the general soldiers of all towns in Liaodong arrived.

Including Wu Sangui, Li Fuming and other five or six people.

It was in the main hall of the Marco Mansion that we met.

Not only these chief officers, but also Hong Chengchou arrived.

The battle of Jinzhou has passed for more than a month. Hong Chengchou, as the governor of Liaodong, still had many trivial matters to deal with after the war.

This time, Hong Chengchou finished handling a cadre of military affairs, arranged properly, and was about to return to Beijing and go to restore his life.

So one came.

In the hall, Hong Chengchou has the highest status, replacing the guest with the host and sitting on the top position. Ma Ke was on his left and Zhao Yu was on his right. The rest are listed separately.

There are a few people in this hall, and Zhao Yu's official position is the lowest, but he is only a general, and he is still under the deputy commander-in-chief. But he represents the Son of Heaven and the emperor, so he sits on the right.

First of all, there is nothing to talk about. Zhao Yu and these people have only one side, at most two or three sides. However, after the tea was finished, Zhao Yu took out the holy decree.

As soon as the holy decree came out, Hong Chengchou didn't dare to sit down, and the others hurriedly got up and bowed down.

Zhao Yu then read out the holy decree.

It's simple, that is, the emperor issued an order to divide 50,000 elite soldiers from various towns in Liaodong and put them under the command of the prince, and enter the Central Plains to quell the rebellion and suppress the thieves.

The decree was read.

The atmosphere in the hall became dull.

Zhao Yu drank a bowl of tea in one gulp, and waited for the general soldiers to reminisce for a moment before he spoke: "Now that you know your intentions, I won't say more." Within three days, 50,000 soldiers and horses had to gather at Shanhaiguan. ”

This matter has little to do with Hong Chengchou, he didn't speak, just smiled, as if he hadn't heard.

And the rest of the general soldiers, all of them have different complexions.

After a while, Wu Sangui said: "It is good to teach General Zhao that although the Tartars were defeated, they did not completely decline, and it was not difficult to raise an army of 350,000 in a year and a half. In addition, the Mongolian tribes are not very honest, if the army is transferred, in case the Tartars return, the Mongolian tribes will be restless, and Liaodong will be in danger!"

As soon as this statement came out, it was approved by two or three people.

There were only six or seven total soldiers here, that is, half of them were unwilling to surrender their troops and horses.

Zhao Yu saw it clearly, what Tartars, what Mongolian tribes, these are all excuses. There are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and even if 50,000 are transferred, there will still be 50,000.

In the previous battle in Jinzhou, the high-level Tartars were almost completely wiped out, the snake had no head, a plate of scattered sand, and there must be chaos inside for a period of time. Even if there are still one or two capable people, it will take one or two years to put the internal organization in order.

As for the Mongolian tribes, heh, with the Battle of Jinzhou as a deterrent, who would dare to move?

At least not dare to move for a short time.

When Zhao Yu heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but only glanced at the chief soldiers: "What do all the chief soldiers think?"

Seeing Zhao Yu's expressionless face, everyone's hearts trembled slightly, and no one dared to speak for a while.

Gently putting down the holy decree, Zhao Yu said lightly: "I don't care about the Tartars, and I don't care about the Mongolian tribes. The Divine Decree of the Son of Heaven is here, and whoever dares to disrespect it is to resist the Decree. ”

A faint killing intent filled the hall, and only the faces of some people turned pale.

Then he looked at Hong Chengchou: "The superintendent is also here." Dare to ask the overseer, what is the crime of disrespecting the will?"

Hong Chengchou smiled: "I have resigned and will not return to the superintendent." However, disrespecting the decree is a great crime, and it should be punished. ”

Zhao Yu bowed his head and swept his gaze again: "The supervisor is a well-educated person, and what he says must be in line with the law of the Ming Dynasty." Ladies and gentlemen, give the order to redeploy troops. ”

Wu Sangui's expression changed, he suddenly stood up, hugged his fists and said: "The matter of transferring troops is very important, and we must return to the army and discuss it carefully before we can reach a conclusion." ”

Then he said: "Inspector, the last general will retire." ”

As soon as he got up, two of them got up and retreated with fists in their hands.

Zhao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly: "If you don't transfer troops today, no one will want to get out of this hall!"

With a snap of the palm, the desk next to him was smashed.

Wu Sangui and the three of them trembled, and they didn't dare to put down their raised feet!

But I only felt a killing intent enveloping my heart, and I dared to fall down, and I was going to die on the spot in the next moment!

When the time came, everyone's faces changed suddenly.

Hong Chengchou was surprised, he never thought that Zhao Yu would be so tough. As for Ma Ke, Li Fuming and the other three, their faces were a little unsightly.

They were all persuaded by the master and planned to join the prince, but they didn't want to be forced.

And Wu Sangui and the three of them were all pale and trembling like a sieve.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Sangui slowly turned around with a dark face: "General Zhao is really majestic!"

"Don't dare to be. Zhao Yu smiled: "It's not me who is majestic." It's some people who regard the Ming army as their own. ”

Wu Sangui's face twitched, and he quibbled: "But if the general doesn't let me go, how can I transfer troops over?"

Zhao Yu sneered: "When you come, there are hundreds of people on your side, you just need to find a close general and go back to pass the order." A few people just stay here, and if the soldiers don't come, they won't be able to leave. ”

Zhao Yu's gaze, like two knives, suddenly swept over the necks of the three people, and the three people who only swept were covered with goosebumps, and their hearts were cold.

Hong Chengchou smiled on the side: "Uncle, why do you have to leave when you just came? General Ma, so many colleagues, where is the wine at this banquet?"

But he built a ladder and let people borrow the slope to get off the donkey.

When Zhao Yu heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and collected the killing intent. Wu Sangui and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sat down, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

Ma Ke was stunned, and hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, the inspector is right." It's me who is slacking. Come on, let's have a banquet!"

I don't mention eating and drinking.

After the banquet, Hong Chengchou rested. After all, this matter has nothing to do with him. The rest of the general soldiers were still sitting in the hall, and none of them dared to leave.

Zhao Yu was there, seemingly closing his eyes and recuperating. But in fact, the senses have been locking this cadre general, making him feel like a pins and needles, like a man's back.

Before the banquet, under the pressure of Zhao Yu, these general soldiers had no choice but to call the generals in their own hands and give an order to transfer troops in front of Zhao Yu.

Don't dare to discount, after all, in front of Zhao Yu, where do you dare to mess around?

If you are behind your back, even if you are willing to transfer troops, you are afraid that you will be old, weak, sick and disabled. But Zhao Yu stared, and they didn't dare. The orders are all to mobilize elite soldiers.

The soldiers and horses of the towns in eastern Liaodong are far and near from Shanhaiguan. Close, you can arrive on the same day. It will indeed take a day or two to get away, and you have to march in a hurry.

In the next two days, Zhao Yu and some general soldiers ate and drank in this hall. Even when I sleep, I slept with my clothes closed. Even if he is out of Gong, he must be accompanied by someone, and the people who accompany him are all the people from the hundred cavalry brought by Zhao Yu, and there are often five people with him, and he can't run if he wants to.

Two days have passed.

Zhao Yu was still in good spirits, while the rest of the general soldiers were haggard.

One is that in terms of eating and sleeping, it is very unusual and a little unbearable. The second is to be frightened, in front of a person like Zhao Yu, who knew that he would pick up and fight people to death with one punch?

I heard someone outside the hall report that the soldiers and horses were all gathered.

The chief soldiers in the hall finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

When they looked at Zhao Yu again, their eyes were very different. This is not a pure martial artist, he only knows how to fight and kill. He is also a man of determination and wisdom.

Zhao Yu summoned Commander Zhang: "Have you ever had all the grain and grass?"

In the past few days, Commander Zhang has been busy with grain and grass matters. The so-called soldiers and horses went first before moving grain and grass, and an army of 50,000 was not a small number. If the grain and grass are not ready, Hugh will talk about war, and he will collapse.

Commander Zhang said respectfully: "If you return to the general's words, it is already complete. ”

In terms of grain and grass for this troop transfer, the general troops of each town in eastern Liaodong are responsible for half a month. The rest are the responsibility of the imperial court and the crown prince.

Zhao Yu nodded and got up: "Okay." ”

Then he said to Wu Sangui and other commanders: "The army has arrived, please go with me to take a look." ”

Wu Sangui and the others breathed a sigh of relief and got up, but they felt a little shaky.

Zhao Yu didn't care about them, he stepped forward, went all the way out of the General Soldier's Mansion, got on their horses, and arrived at the school field.

Shanhaiguan is the first male pass in the world at this time, just like the ancient tiger prison and Hangu. It's a military town entirely. Among them, the school field is quite large, and 50,000 people can fit it.

There are more than 10,000 people in Yuyun, and there is no shore. These 50,000 people gathered, shoulder to shoulder, like a red cloud.

It is clearly a fire virtue, and it is still red. The Ming army's is a cloud of fire.
