Wang Jian arrived in Min County, and the pacification envoy Si Guanya and Liu Ziyu took over the military power. Liu Ziyu only no longer held the post of governor, but he was still the pacification envoy of Fujian Road and the governor of Fuzhou. Emperor Zhao Gou also only relieved him of military power.
That's all.
Liu Ziyu didn't have any regrets. He knew that this was inevitable. The other party's general was his nephew. How could the emperor trust himself to hand over the Fujian Army to his command?
Next, Liu Ziyu will go to Lin'an to report on his duties. After the report, he will return to Fujian and continue to serve as the Fujian Road pacifier and the governor of Fuzhou.
After the handover of military power, Liu Ziyu led Wang Jian to the top of the city. Not far to the south was the majestic Minjiang River. It was not far from the entrance of the Minjiang River and the river was very wide.
Liu Ziyu pointed at the Minjiang River and said to Wang Jiandao: "I always thought that the Western Army would enter the Minjiang River by sea and then land at the dock in front. I once considered sending troops to intercept the Western Army's landing, but then I thought about it again and again and decided to give up.
Dangerous thoughts?”
"Why is this idea dangerous?" Wang Jian asked in confusion.
"What if the landing of the Western Army is just a trick to lure troops? If we lead the army out of the city, wouldn't we fall into their trap?"
Wang Jian nodded, "Mr. Liu's idea makes sense, I will remember it!"
Liu Ziyu was quite pleased and said: "General Wang is also a man who has experienced hundreds of battles. He should not underestimate the enemy and knows how to defend the city. I don't need to explain too much about other things."
Liu Ziyu turned back and told Lieutenant General Qiao Wu and others, "You must strictly observe military discipline and assist General Wang in defending Fuzhou. Don't slack off at all!"
All the generals bowed and saluted together, "Obey the order!"
Liu Ziyu went to Taixue again to visit his adopted son Zhu Xi, and told him to study hard, and gave the remaining one thousand taels of silver to their mother and son. He had an intuition in his heart that he might not be able to return after going north this time.
Not much sex anymore.
After arranging the follow-up matters, Liu Ziyu got into an ox cart, escorted by more than a dozen soldiers, and headed north back to Lin'an to report on his duties.
As soon as Liu Ziyu left, the drums in the military camp rang loudly, and 20,000 soldiers quickly assembled on the school field. The soldiers assembled on the school field, but the generals were all assembled in the Chinese army tent.
These 20,000 troops were formed by Liu Ziyu who gathered militia soldiers from various states in Fujian Province. He then personally trained and trained an originally loose local militia army into an elite army. Before Zhang Jun rebelled, Liu Ziyu led this army.
Twenty thousand troops rushed to Lin'an to help defend Lin'an City.
Not only were the 20,000 troops soldiers from the Fujian Road, but the generals were also promoted by Liu Ziyu from the militia leaders. For example, the deputy general Qiao Wu was originally the commander of the Jianzhou militia. The other generals were similar, they were all militia generals. In the Northern Song Dynasty, they were all
The generals of the Xiang army had a relatively low status, but Liu Ziyu did not discriminate against them and still entrusted them with important tasks, which made the generals full of respect for Liu Ziyu from the bottom of their hearts.
Now that Liu Ziyu was transferred away, all the generals felt very disappointed and stood in the tent to listen to the instructions of the general Wang Jian.
"I came to Fujian Road to preside over the defense according to the emperor's order. From now on, I will be in charge here. No matter what your rules were before, from now on, you must follow my rules. If you don't obey my military orders, you will be killed."
!”
Wang Jian looked at the generals who bowed their heads and said nothing with stern eyes. He knew in his heart that these gang generals did not respect him. It would be impossible to convince these people to him in a short time. The only way was to use one of them to stand up.
Use force, kill one person as a warning to others, and frighten them all.
Wang Jian's eyes fell on Qiao Wu.
Qiao Wu is about thirty years old, tall and strong. He joined the army at the age of twenty and has been among the state soldiers. He is a veteran with all kinds of misdeeds, but Liu Ziyu made him change his mind and all the gangsterism in him disappeared.
No more, his good side came to light, and he became a lieutenant general with outstanding abilities.
Qiao Wu's parents, wife and children were all in Jianzhou. He married a concubine in Min County to take care of his daily life.
Qiao Wu's stomach was not very good, so he had to go home for dinner every night, and his concubine prepared food for him to nourish his stomach. Liu Ziyu also knew about his condition and gave him special permission to go home during non-war times.
As night fell, Qiao Wu arranged his military affairs and went home as usual.
Wang Jian got the news at the Chinese army tent that Qiao Wu had returned home. A sneer appeared on Wang Jian's lips. This Qiao Wu really didn't take him seriously. After changing the coach, he still dared to use the chicken feathers of the former coach as an arrow.
, wouldn’t he ask himself for permission before going home?
Since he doesn't take him seriously, he can't blame himself for being unkind.
Wang Jian immediately ordered: "Beat the drum and gather the generals!"
"Dong! Dong! Dong!" The drums beat intensively, which is the drumbeat of assembly. All soldiers must line up on the school field within one stick of incense, and all generals above the commander must assemble in the big tent.
At this time, Qiao Wu was eating at home. He suddenly heard the sound of intensive drums coming from the direction of the military camp. He secretly screamed something bad, dropped his bowl and ran towards the camp.
Qiao Wu ran back to the camp. It was already past the incense time. He ran to the school grounds, and Wang Jian stared at him like an eagle.
Qiao Wu had no choice but to step forward and salute, "See Du Tong!"
Wang Jian said coldly: "All the soldiers have assembled on time, you are the only one missing. In your eyes, military discipline is bullshit?"
"The situation of Bizhang is special. Liu Dutong allowed Bizhang to go home at night during non-war times."
"But I didn't approve it!"
"this"
Wang Jian gritted his teeth and said: "The war is coming, but you despise military discipline. How can you convince the people if I don't kill you!"
"Push it down and chop!"
Wang Jian's soldiers rushed forward, grabbed Qiao Wu and dragged him down. Qiao Wu shouted: "The military discipline that strictly prohibits leaving the camp is only for wartime. This is not a wartime. Article 19 of the Military Regulations allows soldiers to leave the camp temporarily."
, the commander-in-chief used wartime military discipline to kill me, how can he convince the public?"
All the generals came forward and knelt down to beg for mercy. Wang Jian also realized that the reason for killing him was not sufficient and would arouse public anger. He said coldly: "But you didn't ask me for permission and went out of the camp without authorization. Are you guilty of disrespecting the commander?"
If Mao is not here yet, should I be held responsible?"
Qiao Wu lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
"Okay! For the sake of the generals' pleading, I will not kill you, but I will not spare you the punishment. You will be dragged down and beaten with a hundred military sticks, removed from the position of deputy commander, and demoted to commander!"
All the soldiers dragged Qiao Wu down, took off his trousers, and in front of 20,000 soldiers, they beat a hundred military sticks with their sticks. Qiao Wu clenched his fists and said nothing. Finally, he fainted from the pain, but the soldiers
The attack did not stop, and it took a hundred military sticks to stop Qiao Wu. His skin and flesh were bruised and bloody, and Qiao Wu was already dying. He was carried back to the tent for treatment by his own soldiers.
Wang Jian immediately appointed Wu Yao, his deputy who came with him, as his deputy general and as deputy capital commander. He did not bring many generals, otherwise he would have replaced all the generals at the command level.
There is a large open space opposite the gate of the military camp. The open space is full of vendors doing business. Some sell snacks in the open air, some sell groceries in tents, and there are temporary brothels converted from bullock carts. Liu Ziyu is relatively tolerant, as long as it is not wartime.
Due to the current state, these vendors will not be driven away.
Wang Jian is also kind-hearted in nature. He attacked Qiao Wu in order to establish his authority and seize power. Otherwise, he would not care about such a trivial matter as Qiao Wu going home for dinner.
Wang Jian did not order the hawkers to be driven away at the gate of the military camp, but continued to allow them to do business at the gate of the military camp.
During the lunch break, the vendors began to do business. Soldiers kept coming out of the camp to buy things. There were long queues in front of several temporary brothels, and all the food stalls were filled with soldiers.
At this time, a commander finished a bowl of minced meat soup cakes at a food stall, wiped his mouth, took out a handful of money and gave it to the vendor, "The soup cakes are good, I'll reward you with the extra!"
"Thank you, General!"
The hawker thanked him repeatedly. When the commander walked away, the hawker gently touched the copper coins in his hand, and a note was revealed. The hawker quietly stuffed the note into his arms.
