Chapter 467: Holding Chicken Feather as an Arrow (Part 1)
There are two battalions of soldiers and horses stationed in Guangning City, each with 3,000 soldiers and horses.
One is the Guangning Beiyu Camp, whose main task is to defend Guangning City; the other is the Liaodong General Army Officer's Basement Battalion, whose specific tasks depend on the General Army.
The reason why General Liu Huai and Liu Bing are confident is because of this standard camp that belongs directly to him.
Now there has been a mutiny in Beiyu Camp, and Commander Yuan, who is also in charge of Beiyu Camp, has been detained by the rebels. The whole camp has become a mass of scattered sand.
The remaining battalion officers can restrain the soldiers and defend their own base, but no one can take overall command.
Therefore, the General Military Base Battalion is the only armed force in Guangning City that has maintained a complete system and is the pillar of stability in Guangning City.
Although General Liu had already divided into two commanders and headed to the two border cities to fight against the autumn wind, even the remaining two-thirds were still the most effective force in the city.
No matter which minister came to quell the chaos, he could not bypass the support of the General Military Base.
In other words, no matter who wants to attack General Liu, he must consider whether he can defeat the soldiers of General Liu's standard battalion!
Even if you are secretly tricked by General Liu, you will only suffer the consequences of being dumb! If you can't defeat the General Soldier Base Camp, please bear with it!
Therefore, in this three-thirds of an acre of land and against the background of another mutiny, Liu Huai and Liu Zongbing, who is the Dinghai Shenzhen, are not afraid of anyone!
Not to mention that in the Beiyu camp, cronies were placed to monitor the rebels! So General Liu was very confident, which meant that everything was under control.
As for whether the imperial court would replace the commander-in-chief, Liu Huai had never worried about it.
There has already been a mutiny in Guangning City. If we withdraw the general troops who are the cornerstone of stability, do we still want to continue to expand the mutiny?
Moreover, they have reached the rank of chief military officer, and their status in the military attaché hierarchy is equivalent to that of a governor in the civil service hierarchy. Do you still know a few princes and princes who can help you speak in the court?
"Didn't he say that he would wait for you to think about it for three days before publicly exercising the governor's customs and defense flag?" General Liu said to General Tang Ba: "Then prepare a blow for him in three days. First let him know that this powerful imperial envoy is not a good person.
of."
The two of them had decided on their plan, and Mr. Yuba returned to the Beiyuying camp.
After that, there was no movement from all parties for two consecutive days. Until the third day, the sound of gongs suddenly sounded in the Biyu camp.
The man who beat the gong walked back and forth in the camp, shouting at the same time: "The imperial envoy Qin, please ascend the general platform to declare the imperial court's favor!"
At this time, the royal flag that should belong to the governor has been hung on the general stage in the school grounds.
Imperial envoy Qin Dewei stood alone in the middle of the general platform, still tightly surrounded by the rebel leader Yu Manzi and others.
It is enough to prove to others that this is still an imperial envoy who has been detained by rebel soldiers and has no personal freedom.
It was precisely because of this that a large number of rebels dared to gradually gather in the school grounds, waiting to see what would happen next.
Otherwise, the rebels must worry about whether this is a deliberate trick by the imperial envoy to lure the rebels to gather, and then suddenly surround and destroy them.
After all, in this situation, the trust between the rebels and the ministers is very fragile.
Seeing that there were quite a few people in the audience, Qin Dewei did not hesitate and announced directly:
"I have discussed with Leader Yu and others for several days, and have tentatively decided on two regulations. Now I will announce them to you!
First, those who are willing to stay and continue to serve as soldiers will be given a settlement allowance of 20 taels and a yearly reward of another 10 taels at the end of the year!
Secondly, those who are unwilling to stay as camp soldiers will be registered and sent back to their place of origin, allowing them to choose their own jobs, but they will have to pay a commission fee to the military treasury in the future!"
After Qin Dewei finished speaking, he ordered those who were close to him in the audience to automatically send the message back. Soon all the rioters on the campus knew about it.
Everyone was talking happily, and it seemed that these two regulations were generally popular.
Those who have no other way out can stay and get money. Those who don't want to suffer and have other ways out can find another way to make a living. There will always be one that suits you.
At this time, Qin Dewei suddenly spoke again: "Although I am an imperial envoy to propagate Guangning and other places, my energy and ability to raise money and food are temporarily limited!
Therefore, these regulations are only for the use of your imperial camp soldiers for the time being, and the general military standard camp is not included in them!"
When Dian Jiang heard this, the crowd in the audience laughed together, and some even cheered.
Happiness comes from comparison. You can enjoy the benefits yourself, but the friendly troops next door do not. This is very happy.
The Beiyu Camp and the General Military Base Camp usually belong to different command systems, and it is impossible to say how harmonious they are. Moreover, the General Military Base Camp has a high status, and they usually look down on the Biyu Camp.
Qin Dewei summoned the rebels at Dianjiangtai today, said only a few words, and then left.
But the news spread quickly, as if it had wings, and the General Military Base Camp knew about it immediately.
No need to think about it, the mentality of the entire battalion soldiers exploded instantly. Why should we emphasize that the Beiyu Camp has benefits but the General Military Standard Battalion does not provide them?
Just because the Beiyu Camp started a mutiny? Does the General Military Standard Battalion deserve to suffer because of its honesty? Then who can't do such a thing as a mutiny?
The entire battalion was unsettled, and the battalion officers could not sit still and reported to the General Military Mansion one after another.
At this time, General Liu was thinking about how large a scale he would use to impose his orders on the imperial envoy after tomorrow.
It is easy to make a powerful move, but it is very difficult to grasp the scale.
After all, General Liu's goal was not to completely defeat the imperial envoy, but to manipulate and force the imperial envoy to obey him.
But out of the blue, after hearing the latest news, Mr. Liu felt as if he was caught off guard and was attacked by a surprise attack.
If I have to use a metaphor, it's like Yuan Shao heard that Wuchao's army rations were burned.
Chen Liang, a Chinese Army officer, judged: "If we can't be comforted like the preparation of the imperial camp, the morale of the military will definitely not be stable."
General Liu scolded: "It's all nonsense! Don't I understand this truth? But where is the extra money and food to appease Biaoying!"
This involves the system of the Ming Dynasty at this time, that is, the border garrison generals did not control finances and logistics.
Taking the soldiers in the camp under General Liu's banner as an example, the money and food were distributed by the Guangning Guard where they were stationed. The specific sources were varied, but it was certainly not raised by General Liu.
Therefore, even if you are the chief military officer with the general's seal, you will not be able to separatist rebels in the Ming Dynasty or become a vassal town in the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Liang was scolded a lot, then he bowed his head and said nothing.
Anyway, this is the situation. If you don't take out the money, there is no other way.
After thinking for a moment, General Liu ordered: "Send the bid to General Qian, call the General Manager, and the officers of the Central Military Commission to discuss the matter!"
Not long after, three thousand commanders, four battalion commanders, and a scattering of other Chinese officers came to the meeting hall of the General Military Mansion one after another.
General Liu coughed, but before he could speak, he suddenly saw a soldier outside the door reporting: "The imperial envoy has arrived and is already outside the door!"
Mr. Liu sneered: "What bullshit order does it use chicken feathers as arrows? Bring it in and show it to me!"
But the soldier said again: "There are two orders. It was sent by Feng Chengcheng of Guangning Guard, claiming that he would deliver it to the master personally!"
Mr. Liu slapped the case and said: "Then let Mr. Feng come in! I want to see what kind of nonsense this order is!"
