There is a huge bronze bell in front of the temple in the distance, with beautiful patterns carved on the upper tower. It would be a pity if this ancient city was destroyed by the war. Shen Yongzhong made the right choice, otherwise the war would be devastating
If so, the losses will be huge.
The Northern Shanxi Army opened porridge sheds as agreed to appease the people, which reassured Shen Yongzhong a lot. He had been worried that the officers and soldiers would turn their backs and refuse to admit their mistakes. After all, the city defense was taken over, and it was the officers and soldiers who had the final say. If others did not fulfill their promises, what would he do?
None. In the evening, Hai Lanzhu hosted a banquet for Shen Yongzhong at the county government office. Except for a few leaders, the only ones left at this party were Shang Kexi and other military generals. Rich families in the city were not included in the invitation.
Shen Yongzhong frowned. He felt keenly that this banquet was not simple. Halfway through the banquet, Hai Lanzhu, surrounded by several guards, slowly walked to the banquet. Shang Kexi and others quickly stood up.
Salute. Hai Lanzhu was in a good mood, even more noble and holy, and there was an aura in his movements, "Tonight is just a private party. I just want to thank you all. It is because of your efforts that Yichuan City is exempted from this
A calamity of weapons. So, don’t be cautious. After tonight, no matter whether we are our enemies or enemies, we will all be brothers under the command of the Governor. General Geng and General Liu, why don’t you take the lead in getting to know your future colleagues?”
Shang Kexi curled his lips, feeling bad in his heart, what is this? Before, he was beaten to a bloody head, but now he has become a colleague. Everyone is a soldier, and they have their own masters on the battlefield, so there is not much filth.
Thoughts, under the deliberate friendship of Shang Kexi and others, the rebel leaders gradually relaxed. After Hai Lanzhu comforted him, he talked to Shen Yongzhong, "Shen Yongzhong, I believe you also know, Superintendent
We have already thought about it. Since we are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty, we must work together to defend our country. According to the plan of the Superintendent, in half a month, the army will be reorganized and the Northern Shanxi Army will be fully built. By then, the Rebel Army, Mongolian Army and
The Shaanxi Soldiers and Horses Association has been completely reorganized and integrated into one. This move is a bit sudden. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, I hope you can help me with this."
Shen Yongzhong was horrified. He did not expect that the Living King of Hell would have such great courage. The army was reorganized and a large number of rebel prisoners were integrated into the Northern Shanxi Army. Aren't they afraid of these people causing rebellion? Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Shen Yongzhong looked full of doubts.
"My subordinate understands what Madam means, but by doing this, Madam isn't afraid that one day my rebel brothers will rebel and cause trouble?"
"Of course I'm worried, but the Superintendent is confident enough to make these people surrender. Shen Yongzhong, you said that the ultimate goal of our fighting is to make the people under his command live a better life? If we can give everyone good things,
Why do they rebel in our daily life? If one day they don’t have enough food and clothing, not only those rebel brothers, but anyone who wants to survive will rebel. Do you think this is the truth?"
Hai Lanzhu's seemingly ordinary words woke up the dreamer. Shen Yongzhong stayed there for a long time with his mouth half open, and then he smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine. What a simple truth, people just want to wear clothes and eat.
When you can't survive, you will naturally commit chaos. Who would want to be a rebel if they can survive?
"I deeply admire what Madam said. The problem of army reorganization should not be big, but do you want to stay in the army?" After Shen Yongzhong asked, Hai Lanzhu had already responded, so he did not delay and handed over a copy.
The letter of appointment was placed in front of Shen Yongzhong, "With your ability, there is no need to stay in the army. The Supervisor orders you to go to Yan'an City and serve as military aircraft counselor to assist the Superintendent in managing military affairs."
"This..." Shen Yongzhong didn't know what to say for a moment. Isn't the Superintendent afraid of attracting wolves into the house?
Shen Yongzhong is a smart man. According to his original idea, it would be good to retreat home and become a rich man after the incident in Yichuan is over. But what happened now has exceeded his expectation. Refuse or agree?
It seemed like a simple multiple-choice question, but it was actually very difficult to make a decision. Hai Lanzhu looked at Shen Yongzhong with a smile, stroking a bronze dagger with his right hand, as if all his thoughts were placed on this exquisite ancient bronze.
Shen Yongzhong felt an invisible pressure. The woman in front of him seemed to be smiling and harmless, but it was impossible to see what was going on in her mind.
Hai Lanzhu took his time and carefully observed the exquisite patterns on the ancient bronzes. This bronze dagger was found from a leader's home. The sword body was not only engraved with exquisite patterns, but also the handle was made of fine quality.
It was wrapped in pine wood and inlaid with two precious cat emeralds. At that time, I just took a look at it and fell in love with this dagger. Every woman likes exquisite decorations, and Hai Lanzhu is no exception.
However, her thoughts have never left Shen Yongzhong. She admires Shen Yongzhong from the bottom of her heart, but even if she admires her, she still knows exactly what to do. Shen Yongzhong was both civil and military. Now he has just occupied Yan'an Prefecture.
, there are still a lot of troubles ahead. If Shen Yongzhong helps, a lot of troubles will definitely be reduced. Keeping Shen Yongzhong by your side will allow you to use his talents on the one hand, and supervise him on the other. In short, like Shen Yongzhong, you can kill two birds with one stone.
Use such a person if you can. If you can't use him, you must not let him out of sight or out of control. If necessary, you must get rid of him.
Based on Hai Lanzhu's life experience, he knows how capable people like Shen Yongzhong are. If Shen Yongzhong refuses the proposal, although it is a pity, I don't mind killing him now. The living room is very quiet, and two guards are standing inside the door.
, only the sound of breathing could be heard, and Shen Yongzhong did not reply for a long time. Hai Lanzhu put down the bronze sword and said with a smile, "Shen Yongzhong, have you thought about it? If you agree, it will also be for the brothers under your command.
benefit."
This sentence contained mostly threats, which was tantamount to clarifying his attitude. Shen Yongzhong could refuse, but it would also affect the life and death of many rebels. At this moment, Shen Yongzhong showed a wry smile, and his tense body relaxed instantly.
She is indeed the supervisor's woman. Her gentleness does not lack iron-blooded skills. "The supervisor and his wife value their subordinates so much. I am so honored that I dare not disobey you. Madam, don't worry, I will do my best to help the supervisor."
The division will sort out military affairs."
Hai Lanzhu was really relieved that Shen Yongzhong could agree. It would be a pity if a talent like Shen Yongzhong could not be used by me. "That's very good. On behalf of the Supervisor, I welcome you to join us tomorrow."
Madam will host a banquet for the generals in the city at her residence, and then she will introduce General Sinking to everyone."
Hai Lanzhu's words were linked together, and Shen Yongzhong smiled bitterly. After tomorrow's banquet, he, Shen Yongzhong, would become a rebel traitor. The officers and soldiers wanted to set him, Shen Yongzhong, as a role model. Life is always
So helpless, facing the situation at hand, I couldn't die even if I wanted to. In the government office the next day, when the hour was approaching, not only the military generals were present, but also many ordinary people gathered here. After the porridge shack incident, those residents of northern Shaanxi were very worried about the situation.
The Northern Shanxi Army was no longer so alienated, but a little more cordial. Everyone wanted to see Hai Lanzhu's peerless style.
When the unitary hour comes, the sun sets, and the fire-like colors blend into the surrounding buildings.
Hailanzhu was dressed in a lotus-colored dress and behaved noble and elegantly. Since it was a grand banquet, she was dressed like a noble lady. As Hailanzhu arrived, the people around him slowly knelt down, and the leaders had no choice but to He could only kneel down. Shen Yongzhong was beside Hai Lanzhu. Seeing countless people kneeling on the ground, he felt really bad. Hai Lanzhu raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said meaningfully, "General Shen, don't you understand now? For these ordinary people, all they want is to live a good life. As for who is in charge of where they live, it makes no difference at all. Besides, when you were in charge of northern Shaanxi, Have you really given them a good life again?"
Shen Yongzhong had to admit that what Hai Lanzhu said made sense, because the facts were right in front of him. Because Hai Lanzhu asked everyone to deliberately make goodwill gestures, the banquet slowly became lively. The generals in each department had a kind attitude, and the leader of the rebel army They are no longer as afraid as before, and the bolder ones have begun to build friendships.
Shang Kexi had a weird expression and dealt with the rebel leaders in a nonchalant manner. It wasn't that he hated these people, but he really didn't like this kind of banquet. If his wife hadn't made an explanation in advance, he would have left long ago.
In the middle of the banquet, Hai Lanzhu raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and walked lightly to the high platform, "Today I want to tell you some good news. After the consideration of His Highness the Superintendent, Shen Yongzhong has been specially appointed as Military Aircraft Counselor. "Manage military affairs." As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Shang Kexi and others all rolled their eyes. Shen Yongzhong, an outsider, unexpectedly became the military aircraft counselor. Others did not know, but Shang Kexi and others knew very well that this military aircraft counselor was equivalent to The position of deputy military advisor has been replaced, and the most important thing is that he is also responsible for financial issues. Doesn't that mean that in the future, food, grass and baggage will have to depend on Shen Yongzhong's face?
Ever since Liu Guoneng, there have been even more dissatisfactions. Thinking that Liu Guoneng had conquered the east and west and accumulated achievements to this day, he actually wanted to salute Shen Yongzhong. Isn't this a slap in the face?
The rebel leaders were equally surprised. They didn't understand what the military counselor's position was, but they could still see everyone's reaction clearly. This position was a bit fatal. The Iron Superintendent was really courageous. For a moment, everyone in the room was shocked. People were divided into two factions. Some envied Shen Yongzhong's strong luck and admired the courage of the Iron Governor, while the other despised Shen Yongzhong and felt that Shen Yongzhong was the biggest traitor of the rebel army.
In any case, with Hai Lanzhu standing here, everyone offered their congratulations, and Shen Yongzhong could only deal with it. At this moment, a burst of shrill screams suddenly broke out. About a dozen bandits moved towards Shen Yongzhong When they rushed towards him, one of them yelled angrily, "Shen Yongzhong, you traitor, I will kill you today."
A sudden assassination made the banquet panic. Looking at the chaotic scene, Hai Lanzhu seemed very calm. After such a commotion, Shen Yongzhong could never look back. Someone came to ruin the banquet, and it didn't matter at all. It's strange that there are always some die-hards who can't understand the situation, so they might as well take the opportunity of the banquet to wipe out all these chaotic parties.
As some people started to cause trouble, something happened among the people on the street outside. Some people began to besiege the Yamen with various weapons. Their intention was very obvious, which was to capture the Yamen and kill all the people inside. Suddenly, Wang Zuoguan came to Hailanzhu's side. He squinted his eyes and looked like an old monk in trance. "Tsk, tsk, these idiots really showed up. Although the bait is good, if the appetite is not big enough, , it’s easy to burst your stomach.”
These so-called rebellious parties were naturally caused by Shen Yongzhong's trapping and killing of the rebel leaders and hard-line leaders. Shen Yongzhong killed those hard-line representatives who refused to surrender, but the troops under those people remained. Northern Shanxi
When the army entered the city, these people did not dare to do anything due to pressure, but the banquet held by the Yamen gave them an opportunity. They felt that all the main officers and soldiers gathered in the church, and if the arrangement was right, they could kill these people in one fell swoop.
Yes, this is indeed a good opportunity, but Hai Lanzhu is not a fool. Can she not see the danger? The Yamen Courtyard tonight is a purgatory execution ground. As for who will be the execution ground, you have to use your own methods.
.
As the riot broke out, Shen Yongzhong's face became gloomy, and his eyes showed unbearability and sadness. There was no way they could succeed. This was a huge trap.
The facts were as Shen Yongzhong expected. As more and more people stormed the Yamen, alarm bells rang in the city. At the same time, rumbling footsteps also sounded inside the Yamen. Many Ruifeng Battalion soldiers rushed down the corridor stairs to guard Hailan.
Around Zhu. It turned out that Hai Lanzhu had been prepared for it. In order to take precautions, he placed the ambush in the yamen early. They hid in the house until something happened, and then rushed out.
Now under attack from both inside and outside, the rebels all became turtles in the urn. What happened next was no surprise. The rebels couldn't stop the Northern Shanxi Army from strangulating them. What's more, many angry people also helped, and a rebellion would soon begin.
They were suppressed. Hai Lanzhu showed no mercy to these rebels and directly called Shang Kexi to him, "All those who participated in the rebellion will be killed and an order was issued. From now on, whoever dares to rebel will
Party, kill the whole family."
"Well" Shang Kexi himself was a bloodthirsty and violent person, and it was easy for him to do such a thing. More than a thousand rebels died in groups in the square in front of the Yamen. Heads were rolling in.
Falling, blood stimulated everyone's eyeballs. It was a sad night. The people of Yichuan City once again saw the bloody methods of the Northern Shanxi Army. Tie Mo was not only kind, but also cruel. Hai Lanzhu's carrot increased
The great talent completely shocked the people in Yichuan City.
In mid-August of the fifth year of Chongzhen, after settling the affairs of Yichuan City, Hai Lanzhu, Shen Yongzhong and others set off for Yan'an City. When they returned to Yan'an City, they clearly felt the difference. The streets were cleaner and brighter, and the streets were cleaner and brighter.
The human feeling is much wider, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians, but it is very orderly. In Meihuayu Manor, Tie Mo smiled like a spring breeze, with a leisurely expression. When Shen Yongzhong saw Li Boyang, his expression became extremely complicated. Li Boyang was also a little embarrassed,
The position the two of them are in now is indeed a bit ironic.
