Although they knew that Sun Chuanting was planning to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, when the sergeant came up with the eunuch's bloody head, everyone still gasped and fell silent.
Although Eunuch Pang has a small official position, he is responsible for the errands of the warehouse and has the power to report to the court alone. Before Sun Chuanting came, everyone hated this guy deeply and hated him for his insatiable greed. But that was secretly, on the surface the big guy still had to flatter him, hoping that Eunuch Pang would say more good things. Furthermore, the shortage of supplies is so great that although Eunuch Pang has deducted some money, everyone knows the real reason.
The general environment of the Ming Dynasty has always been like this. It was said that it was to allocate military funds, but before it left the warehouse, it was reduced by 20%. If it was stripped down layer by layer like this, half of it would be left in the hands of the person involved. Although Ma Shiying worked hard and was determined to cure this serious disease, three feet of ice does not last in a day. How can it be said that it can be cured by changing it?
Of course, if it was Wu Yi's army that went to Sichuan instead of Guangwu's army, this would not be the case. The one raised by the biological mother is always more popular than the one raised by the stepmother, right?
With such a shortage of supplies, maybe it was the imperial court or the Guangwu military envoy whom Ma Shoufu raised for his stepmother that was the stumbling block.
During the Hongguang Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats were dictatorial, and the emperor was just a shit-making machine who was just waiting to die. Imperial power has fallen to the point where it has nothing to add to it. Speaking of which, the influence of imperial power on local areas, without the power to supervise the army, is only left with the responsibilities of logistics. It's good now, the old man Sun Chuanting didn't even blink, he just chopped off the warehouse eunuch. This is really unreasonable. If you want to change the emperor, you will have to use this matter to get angry if you can't protect everything.
The surrounding officials secretly slandered, but no one spoke. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. If you are a monkey now, who knows if Sun Du will treat him like a chicken next moment? The sky is big and the earth is big, but the head is the biggest. A thousand words are worse than silence.
There was deathly silence in all directions. Sun Chuanting's expression remained as usual. He waved his hand and motioned to the sergeant to take the man's head off. He cleared his throat and said: "The Northern Expedition's great success lies in Sheji. If there is another delay, it will be the same! You all are my pillars of enlightenment. , on this occasion of restoring the old land, we should work together and serve the countryLiao Shijie!"
"Commander!"
Sun Chuanting squinted his eyes and said: "The whole army will rest for three days, and we will march to Chengdu in three days!"
"yes!"
There was dead silence just now, but it suddenly became boiling. Those who didn't hear clearly kept asking Sun Chuanting what he had just said. When he understood, his eyes widened and his mouth opened in inexplicable shock. The Guangwu Army traveled through mountains and ridges and wandered in ravines for a month before arriving in Chongqing. They had just rested for three days and were about to leave? Well, the stepmother's Guangwu Army has a high combat power, which is not comparable to that of these other bastards like me. But the imperial court had already made plans for the Northern Expedition, and the troops were divided into two groups. Bashu defended firmly while Huaiyang advanced. It's good now. The Huaiyang side probably hasn't finished gathering yet, and the Sichuan side is about to attack.
That¡¯s all. Sun Chuanting¡¯s reputation was so great that Ma Shiying had to be a little afraid of him. He, Governor Sun, could fight however he wanted. The problem was that Chongqing was now empty of troops, and all the Miao soldiers had been drawn down the river. Without the white-armed soldiers who have been transferred to the musketeers, everyone is on tenterhooks these days, always on guard against possible Manchu attacks. The most dangerous time was when the Eight Banners soldiers had already scaled the city wall.
It was difficult to hold on, and everyone was scared to death. Looking left and right, the Guangwu Army has finally arrived. Before it gets warm, is it going to attack Chengdu? Guangwu Army went to Chengdu, what about Chongqing? Dorgon in the direction of Hanzhong has been waiting for the opportunity to capture Chongqing.
Those who couldn¡¯t stand it would jump out immediately and stop them with all their might.
"Sun Governor, the white pole soldiers have gone east a few days ago, leaving Chongqing Mansion empty of troops. During this period, Dorgon sent troops to attack again and again, and there were many dangers. If the Guangwu Army had not been approaching, I am afraid that the city of Qingxia would still be surrounded by Qing soldiers. In such a situation, When we hold firmhow can we attack so easily?"
"What General Liu said is true. Commander, it's enough to attack, but why did you send troops to Chengdu? Dorgon in Hanzhong is the big problem!"
"It is right to first settle down the enemy before fighting against foreign forces No, in short, we must not attack at this time."
As soon as the general, the seven mouths and tongues, you speak and say, just a moment of kung fu turning the warehouse into a vegetable market. If Tumo Xingzi could drown people, Sun Chuanting would have died countless times by now. But now Sun Chuanting, who was at the center of the storm, was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, standing in the middle of the field with an expressionless face and eyes closed, allowing the crowd to make noise. It was as if he was staying out of the situation and had nothing to do with himself.
The noise first became louder and louder, then gradually weakened until it was completely quiet. All the generals held their fists and looked at Sun Chuanting eagerly. After a long while, Sun Chuanting opened his eyes and said something completely unrelated: "How many commanders are there in Bashu?"
Liao Shijie, who was next to him, answered knowingly: "It is stated in the imperial decree.Clearly, it all depends on Sun Du. I expected there to be only one commander here. "
"Oh" Sun Chuanting first raised his head, then lowered his head: "But why do I think everyone here is a commander?" His sarcastic mouth made everyone confused. But the underlying meaning couldn't be clearer. I am the commander, I make the decision! have opinions? Bear with it!
After saying this, Sun Chuanting laughed jokingly, walked away with his hands behind his back, and left all the generals here. Bashu is a war zone, and Bashu is too far from Nanjing. Therefore, in addition to the local army, most of the people who come here are miscellaneous troops. These miscellaneous troops inherited all the bad habits of the previous Ming army. In Sun Chuanting's view, these gangsters failed more than succeeded. Sun Chuanting has been in charge of the army for decades and is very sophisticated. Knowing this situation well, it is impossible to reason with the soldiers. He wanted to use unreasonable methods to cut through the mess quickly and quickly unify the Bashu war zone. Then use the Guangwu Army as an arrow to open up the situation.
Ma Shiying's little abacus was ringing, and Sun Chuanting had already understood it. The Northern Expedition is false, but eliminating dissidents is true. Although there is no clear news, various signs indicate that Wu Yi's army in the eastern theater will not use any force. They will only serve as a supervising team, forcing the miscellaneous troops to continue to consume and die.
Ma Shiying's move made Sun Chuanting very conflicted It was right to eliminate dissidents, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would sooner or later become a warlord state; if Sun Chuanting sat in Ma Shiying's position, he would most likely do the same. The problem is that he is not Ma Shiying now, he is Sun Chuanting. He worked hard in Guangdong and Guangxi for several years and personally established the Guangwu Army. The Guangwu Army is his lifeblood!
In his view, this fully Australian army is the future of the Ming Dynasty's army. Instead of Lao Shizi, he lined up to shoot Wu Yijun. He didn't want to worry about what happened to the miscellaneous army, let alone complain about it. But on the occasion of the Northern Expedition, he must establish the reputation of the Guangwu Army. Only in this way will Ming's military construction avoid many detours.
¡°Furthermore, this is a battle to restore the country. If there was an opportunity to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a life-and-death enemy, how could he miss it?
"Commander, I'm afraid that eunuch is in some trouble This guy is said to be Wang Kun's godson." Liao Shijie reminded him casually on the way to his residence.
Sun Chuanting smiled disdainfully. Wang Kun¡¯s godson? Even Wang Kun dared to kill him! In the current Ming Dynasty, there is no chance for eunuchs to gain power. Although this matter was directed at Ma Shiying, the old boy Ma Shiying still had to applaud himself after being slapped. It would be fine if Wang Kun stayed honest, but if he stirred up trouble, I'm afraid Ma Shiying would be the first to jump out and punish Wang Kun.
The Guangwu Army made hasty revisions for three days and replenished ammunition and food. On the fourth day, they hurried to Luzhou Prefecture. There they will go up the Shuo River and attack Chengdu. Naturally, Persimmon was looking for weak points, and Dorgon took advantage of the danger. Hanzhong was not that easy to fight. On the contrary, the terrain of Chengdu where Wu Sangui was located was much more favorable to the Guangwu Army. Moreover, in recent years, the Manchu and Qing dynasties seemed quite unable to sustain themselves, so that the conflicts between the Manchus and the Han, instead of weakening, intensified.
I have long heard that there was a lot of bad blood between Dorgon and Wu Sangui. It is still unclear whether Dorgon will send troops to rescue this time they attack Chengdu. So what if we send troops? Twenty thousand Guangwu troops were enough to withstand hundreds of thousands of elite Manchu soldiers.
The front leg of the Guangwu Army had just left Chongqing, and the news soon spread to Chengdu. Even though Chongqing has become a military fortress, there are still Manchu and Qing masterpieces inside. There is no airtight wall in the world. Sun Chuanting had just given the order in the warehouse, and the spies heard the news. Then we tried every means to pass it on, station after station, day and night to Chengdu.
When Wu Sangui heard that Sun Chuanting was attacking, his head suddenly became as big as a bucket! Hard work follows. What was Sun Chuanting thinking? How could he cause trouble for himself if he left Dorgon alone? In the early years when the Qing Dynasty was strong, Wu Sangui naturally spared no effort in leading the battle. But after suffering a heavy setback, Wu Sangui was like other Han ministers who were unable to work hard.
There had been rumors before that it was Wu Sangui who switched the switch to let the Manchus in in order to avenge Emperor Chongzhen. But gradually, the tone in the market became wrong. Wu Sangui slowly changed from a hero of the Ming Dynasty to a traitor of the Han Dynasty! In fact, no matter what the public says, Wu Sangui is still the same Wu Sangui. He switched sides and defected to the Manchus, not because of hatred between the country and the family, but because he wanted to survive. All the remarks are just those scholar-bureaucrats in Nanming stirring up trouble.
In the past, when the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were powerful, they praised themselves in different ways, naturally hoping that Wu Sangui would continue to serve the Ming Dynasty; now he has become a Han soldier, because Nan Ming has a powerful firearms army. Even without Wu Sangui, it would be enough to pacify the Qing Dynasty. What's more, Qiu Ba, who carved those in the Southern Ming Dynasty, may have regarded his promotion as a necessity for promotion. I'm afraid Nan Ming won't agree to surrender now.
Today, Wu Sangui is like a mouse into the blanket, with both ends. Manqing was on guard against him, and Nanming hated himself. Sometimes?Sangui himself sighed, how could he get into such a situation?
Looking at the hopeful eyes of his subordinates, Wu Sangui waved his hand to indicate that he understood. At this point, the soldiers have come to cover up the water and earth. Otherwise, what else can we do? ! .
