Reuse the Guangwu Army? For the proud Zhu Chenggong, this is simply unacceptable! This is equivalent to slapping yourself hard with your hand, and licking the swollen half of your face to make a smile. &*£® £® com¡¯s fastest update £ª£ªAre you kidding!
"Forgive me for my humble position, but I disagree! If the Guangwu Army is re-employed, what will our Wu Yi Army soldiers think? I'm afraid they will be discouraged. Is there any such truth in ancient and modern times for being timid before starting a war?" Zhu Chenggong said with a straight face. His mouth was like Australia's new Gatling gun, firing off a barrage of words, scolding He Tengjiao's bad idea with a dark face.
It was absolutely unforgivable in the Ming Dynasty for a subordinate to contradict his superior. Even in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, there was still a distinction between superiority and inferiority. If under normal circumstances, the person who contradicted him was not Zhu Chenggong, I am afraid that He Tengjiao would have changed his face, scolded him, and stretched out his military sticks from left and right to serve him. But Zhu Chenggong is no one else!
He is the national surname of the Ming Dynasty and is regarded as the hope of the younger generation in the Ming Dynasty army. Regardless of luck or strength, from Dasheng Pass to the north bank of the Huaihe River, the young man with the surname Guo fought seven in and seven out, but he was sure to win every battle. Such an impressive record attracted the attention of the imperial court and the favor of the people. If Zhu Chenggong is blamed today, I am afraid that the impeachment of He Tengjiao will fly into the cabinet like snowflakes tomorrow. Even among the people, I am afraid that his reputation as He Tengjiao will turn into a person who is jealous of the wise and capable, and is a stinker on the street.
Speaking of which, Zhu Chenggong seems to be addicted to the following. He has been out of control ever since he got a taste of the victory at Dashengguan. Sometimes He Tengjiao even thinks about the day when this guy's shit is used up and the entire army is wiped out. No one likes to have a disobedient person under their command.
"It's a pity that Guo Xingye's luck hasn't been used up yet. So he is still alive, so He Tengjiao can't do anything about it. At other times, He Tengjiao might be forced to give up this plan, or fully seek the other party's opinions before making peace with him. But not now, because this is the court's plan. Although there is no official document, this is a strategy that the chief minister has repeatedly emphasized. So He Tengjiao couldn't give up.
He even prepared a backup plan in order to persuade Zhu Chenggong. Soon, just when Zhu Chenggong was about to walk away angrily, He Tengjiao presented his magic weapon - a backup plan.
He stopped Zhu Chenggong, took a leisurely sip of tea, left a comment like "Young people are too impulsive", and left the room in a flash. Before Zhu Chenggong could turn around, a person came out from behind the screen and stopped Zhu Chenggong.
"Third uncle?"
The visitor is Zhu Chenggong¡¯s third uncle, and his friend since childhood, Zheng Hongkui. \\?. com first release\\
Surprise, pleasantries, confusion. Zhu Chenggong, who was holding Zheng Hongkui's shoulder, was stunned for a while and asked doubtfully: "Why is the third uncle here? Could it be why is that old man Tengjiao a lobbyist?"
Zheng Hongkui smiled and nodded, agreeing.
Zhu Chenggong¡¯s expression suddenly changed: ¡°Third uncle, apart from this matter, everything else is easy to talk about.¡±
Zheng Hongkui laughed loudly: "Me tooexcept for this matter, everything else is easy to talk about."
"Why?"
"This is about the country, the country, the country, so you must listen to me this time."
Zhu Chenggong thought for a moment and then fell silent. Obviously, this is Ma Shiying's borrowed knife to kill again. Borrow the sword of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to fully consume the troops of the non-Ma Shiying faction. Troops are being trained in various places, Guangwu Army Among them, Guangwu Army is the first target. By consuming the military power of his competitors and preserving his own strength, Ma Shiying will be in an invincible position no matter how the Northern Expedition turns out. It was a very sophisticated strategy, but it made Zhu Chenggong feel so uncomfortable.
This is the Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition! Thousands of good men from the Ming Dynasty waved their weapons and headed north to restore their homeland. How can we be wary of each other and plot against each other when we are all united?
"Uncle" After a long while, Zhu Chenggong struggled to speak: "I am a soldier and I just want to protect my family and my country."
"That's good. Protect the family and the country." Zheng Hongkui smiled and said: "But the Ming Dynasty has never been as simple as a foreign enemy, the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In the past, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang made a bad start, and the princes and generals Xiang Ning had the guts Almost. Every time there is a natural disaster in the future, this example will be repeated. What does this mean? It means that there has never been a lack of careerists in this land. If you want to restore your homeland, let me ask you, even if all the armies work together to destroy Manchuria at this moment. So what about the Qing Dynasty? I'm afraid that when Beijing is captured, the armies will rebel! By then, the situation will only be worse than now. Even if Wu Yi's army is the strongest, it will be too tiring to quell the rebellions everywhere. If at this time What should we do if the Tartars go south?¡±
After a long pause, Zheng Hongkui said: "Before you fight foreign affairs, you must first make peace at home Even if you don't think about it for yourself, you should think about it for your son."
Zheng Hongkui suddenly grasped Zhu Chenggong¡¯s Achilles¡¯ heel¡ªthe son he had never met so far, the prince.If you want to keep your son, you must keep Ma Shiying. If you want to keep Ma Shiying, you must cut off the military power in the hands of the governor You must follow Ma Shiying's plan and do things you don't want to do.
Zhu Chenggong was more entangled than ever before. At this moment, he remembered two sentences. "In the Ming Dynasty, it was more difficult to do things than to be a human being." "An excellent general is first and foremost an excellent politician." The former is a satire on the poor political system of the Ming Dynasty, and the latter is a refutation of the purely military theory of generals. The two sentences came out of the same person's mouth, Shao Bei.
Although it is a bit uncomfortable, there is no doubt that these two sentences hit the nail on the head about the problem Zhu Chenggong is facing now. He wants to be a general like Wei Qing or Huo Qubing, a general who has achieved unparalleled achievements and only plots against his opponents. But the reality is here, a pure general does not exist at all.
After a long time, Zhu Chenggong nodded with difficulty: "I understand."
"That's right." Zheng Hongkui patted his nephew on the shoulder happily and said, "You can only be a man if you can do what others don't do."
¡¡
Sichuan, Chongqing Prefecture.
With a creaking sound, the heavy door of the warehouse opened. Sunlight and breeze suddenly came in, causing the dust inside to scatter. Several mice screamed and jumped into the hole in the corner.
Standing in front of the warehouse, the stinging musty smell made everyone cover their noses. Squinting at the dilapidated scene in the warehouse, Sun Chuanting frowned while standing with his hands behind his hands.
Next to him, the eunuch in charge smiled flatteringly and said: "Sun Du, this place has been in disrepair for a long time. I think it is better to let the young people take stock. Sun Du is a fairy-like figure, and it is better to drink tea in the pavilion. Hehe, The Zajia family got a pack of West Lake Longjing the day before yesterday, which has not yet been opened. Look"
Sun Chuanting snorted coldly, ignored it, and took the lead into the warehouse. Waved his hand: "Liao Shijie!"
"Here!"
The officer behind him responded, and with loud instructions, two rows of soldiers filed in. These soldiers of the Guangwu Army, who were dressed like rubbish, quickly carried boxes of weapons and ammunition outside, and then unpacked them for inventory.
Sun Chuanting moved a three-legged chair and sat in the warehouse with his butt half draped, closing his eyes and meditating. Every once in a while, some military resources were counted, and Liao Shijie came to report.
"Commander, there are only 840 additional rifles, and there are still 104 rifles with problems." If we look closely, it is not just the 104 rifles that have problems, there are simply no problems. The original batch of one thousand supplementary rifles was almost all old goods. Either the rifling has been worn away, or the butt has been moth-eaten.
"Commander, there are enough grenades. It's just that only a few are made in Australia, and most of them are made in Nanjing." There is a huge difference between those made in Australia and those made in Nanjing. The former uses potent gunpowder, while the latter uses black powder. It¡¯s okay to have low power, because black powder storage problems, long-term storage will cause the particles to turn into powder, which will lead to unevenness. So sometimes Nanjing will change from hand grenades to smoke bombs.
"Commander, there are many shortages of cotton-padded clothes"
"Commander, there is not enough food"
Every time Liao Shijie reported it, Sun Chuanting's face darkened, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on the face of the eunuch next to him. The eunuch who supervises the warehouse and transports supplies will find a suitable excuse every time.
Sometimes it hasn¡¯t arrived yet, sometimes it¡¯s just like that, and sometimes it¡¯s just drifted away. Of course, the latter excuse is used most often. This excuse is perfect. As we all know, the road from Nanjing to Chongqing is waterway. Australia's small steamers are just that. If it is a sailboat, it will often encounter dangerous shoals and require trackers to pull them across by manpower. It is normal for some accidents to happen at this time.
In this case, it is easy to think that the eunuch has tampered with the military resources. Given the poor political environment of the Ming Dynasty, it was not a problem but a problem. But in fact, the eunuch really didn't do much. The shortage of military resources directly gave instructions to the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, headed by Ma Shiying. Because the Guangwu Army was a thorn in the side of the imperial court.
Sun Chuanting, who was sitting in the warehouse with his eyes closed and concentrating, felt chilled. He felt that he had underestimated Ma Shiying, who actually used such crooked ideas during the Northern Expedition. Could it be that Sun Chuanting would still stand on his own feet?
After the chill, there was anger, and he suddenly opened his eyes: "Are you drifting?"
Huo Ran stood up: "Let me ask you, how much is the capital allocated by the court? How much is the treasury calculation? Why is the difference between the two only 10%, but after my official counting, the gap is as much as 40%?"
The eunuch suddenly turned pale. He saw ruthlessness in Sun Chuanting's eyes. A general who was used to life and death, the ruthlessness in his eyes was definitely not something he, a eunuch who was afraid of death, could bear. Then the eunuch began to tremble unconsciously and stammered in his defense. I kept convincing myself in my heart that it was okay. This matter was signaled by the Chief Assistant, and it would be natural if something happened.??The first assistant will take care of you.
"If Governor Sun doesn't believe it, you and I can go to court."
"Going to court?" Sun Chuanting sneered: "You don't deserve it! I suspect you of embezzling military resources to support the enemy. Come on, drag me out and chop him!"
The eunuch was stunned at first, and then struggled and screamed when two soldiers dragged him: "You can't do this, the miscellaneous family is not under your control."
Liao Shijie, who was beside Sun Chuanting, sneered and shook the sword in his arms, instantly making the eunuch feel despair. The emperor gave Shang Fang a sword. Officials of the fourth rank and below can behead first and then play. Although he is a eunuch who is very arrogant in Chongqing, he is only a sixth grade eunuch.
