Qingwu City has a special geographical location. In addition to being adjacent to the Japanese islands, Qingwu County is also an important food route to ensure the logistics of Longmen Pass. Therefore, Japanese pirates often risk their lives to plunder the Longwei army's food. In order to exterminate the pirates, the Longwei and Qingwu defenders have repeatedly joined forces to expel them.
, but they were killed endlessly, and the two Qing military generals before and after were all killed at the hands of Japanese pirates.
The biggest problem in Youzhou is Qingwu, so much so that when the military generals in the imperial court hear that they are going to Qingwu, they have to find connections in advance to be transferred elsewhere or simply refuse to take up their posts because of illness. If Xiao Kai and Hu Li go to places where they can retire, then Shen Lindong
We went to the place where the four battles took place and where we went to die.
Ji Yushi didn't wait for anyone to ask questions, and said directly: "The Ministry of War heard that the martial arts of Marquis Shen was the second in the north of Saibei, second only to General Zhang, and General Zhang needed to guard the north of Saibei to resist the dog barbarians. Therefore, he was not allowed to mobilize, so he could only trouble Marquis Shen.
Rush to Qingwucheng. This Qingwucheng must be led by Junhou Shen. The rest of us have neither the courage nor the ability. If Junhou Shen refuses, the people of Qingwucheng will suffer disaster every year."
"Your Majesty, accept the order." Shen Lindong immediately stepped forward to accept the reward without thinking. He calmed down the excitement in his heart. Although it was dangerous to be transferred to Qingwu City, he was the guard general and the city lord in Qingwu City. Although Shen Lindong respected Zhang Xiaowu
, but in his heart he has always been unwilling to be the second best. He longs to fight alone and no longer be under Zhang Xiaowu's wing.
Zhang Xiaowu naturally understood that Shen Lindong was a goshawk, not a falcon. He patted Shen Lindong on the shoulder, nodded and said: "From now on, your opponents will be pirates. If there are difficulties, send a message to the ghost guard. You will always be a ghost."
People who defend themselves."
Shen Lindong was very excited and said: "General, thank you very much."
Ruan Qingwen congratulated and said: "Sir Shen, the more dangerous the place is, the more likely it is to gain fame. You and I are all talents, and we should get fame just like searching for things. Here, we wish Master Shen a victory in advance and kill Dongying.
Dog Yi."
"Thank you everyone." Shen Lindong said.
Ji Yushi continued to declare: "Ghost Guard Zu Gongmao is brave and not afraid of death. He will kill the enemy in every battle and in front of the formation. He has made great contributions to the country. He will be rewarded with a pair of black iron armor, a pair of black iron swords, and three hundred gold."
Zero, one thousand taels of silver, and ordered him to be transferred to the 18th Regiment of the Suzaku Army as a military commander, and to form the Zuzi Battalion to assist in suppressing the Jiangnan rebels."
Zhang Xiaowu took a breath of cold air, Jiangnan? It was actually Jiangnan!
Zu Gongmao frowned and did not come forward for a long time. He neither spoke nor refuted. Just like his character, he was dull and resolute. Everyone became worried. The more silent a person is, the easier it is for him to write excessively.
, Ruan Qingwen immediately gave Zhang Xiaowu a look, which meant that this imperial edict had to be accepted. Zhang Xiaowu sighed in his heart and said slowly: "Master Zujun, accept the reward. As soldiers, you and I should obey the orders of the country."
"Here."
Zu Gongmao reluctantly stepped forward to accept the reward. Everyone could see that he was angry, not because he was transferred to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, but because the imperial court suddenly transferred all four generals of the Ghost Guard, and everyone
They were all transferred to dangerous places.
Xiao Kai faced political risks, Hu Li faced dangers from the Southern Qiang, Shen Lindong faced dangers from the Japanese, and Zu Gongmao's whereabouts was the most dangerous, the Jiangnan rebellion.
The Jiangnan rebellion started because of a trivial incident. A newly arrived county magistrate in Yuezhou fell in love with the daughter of a family and wanted to marry her as a concubine. Unexpectedly, although the family was not rich, it was a wealthy family.
A family with integrity would rather have its daughter die in poverty
The woman wanted to be the wife of a rich man and did not want her daughter to be a concubine of a rich man, so the county magistrate was furious. The county magistrate's bastard slave instigated someone to deliberately provoke the woman's family and falsely accused others of being related to the Sky Fire Sect rebels, so the county magistrate
He used this to threaten the woman to marry him as his concubine.
Unexpectedly, the woman's parents committed suicide in prison. The jailer revealed the matter to the woman, and the woman bumped her head to death at the gate of the county government office. At this time, it caused a great uproar in the local area, and people rushed to the gate of the county government office to demand an explanation. The county government Ling used all his tricks and even ordered the crowd to be dispersed. In the chaos, a young child was trampled to death, which aroused agitation among the people.
It coincided with the collection of autumn grain at this time. In the past, the government oppressed the people. Today, the people's anger broke out. So the people rushed to the county government and beat to death the county magistrate and several officials. The court heard that Emperor Taiqian mistakenly thought that the victims were rebelling, and ordered The Yuezhou garrison ordered a suppression. The Yuezhou garrison was then dispatched to suppress the anti-people. However, the Yuezhou Township Army was like a wolf, tiger and leopard. It not only severely suppressed the victims, but also extorted and robbed the people, which caused a greater backlash from the local people. .At this time, the members of the Tianhuo Sect rebelled, which caused a vendetta between the two sides, and then led to the Jiangnan Rebellion.
The rebellion in Jiangnan lies in the wrong decisions made by the court over and over again, and also in the confrontation between the government and the people. Because rice in Jiangnan is harvested twice a year, it is said that Jiangnan is abundant and the world is rich, so the tax revenue of the imperial court in Jiangnan has always been relatively low. The situation in the north is even worse. The local people have been suffering from the oppression of the government. Now some people are taking the initiative to rebel, so they simply rebel. They don't know that the commander of the Suzaku Army has been killed.
Zu Gongmao dismissed this. If he didn't have the courage to face difficulties, no one would have the courage. He just thought that the four generals of the Ghost Guard were sent around. It was obvious that the imperial court was suppressing the Ghost Guard.
But Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "Very good, very good. Everyone is proud to use it. This shows that the imperial court values you very much. I thought that the imperial court could only hide behind everyone, but I didn't expect that everything we do is in the eyes of others. It's not in vain that we all risked our lives. What I worried about most in the past was that some people were greedy for credit, but now it seems that everyone in the Ministry of War is a person who can distinguish right from wrong."
Everyone agreed with a wry smile. Everyone was not a fool. They could all see why Zhang Xiaowu's four generals were transferred. The court was just using this method to reduce the combat effectiveness of the ghost guards, which also meant that the court began to be wary of them. Zhang Xiaowu thought that one day, The imperial court would use means to curb the development of the border army, but they didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
Ji Yushi said: "General Zhang, please accept the order."
"Your Majesty, I accept the order and thank you." Zhang Xiaowu stepped forward to receive the order, but seeing that Yushi Ji was still smiling, but his face was full of unbearability, he said: "Ji Yushi, I will prepare a small amount of wine and invite you to have a little gathering. .”
But Ji Yushi shook his head, turned around and took out the second imperial edict from the box, his face was full of bitterness, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "General Zhang, to tell you the truth, the imperial court issued more than one imperial edict, I I still have an imperial edict in hand, but the content of this edict is irritating... I will send it to you privately."
Zhang Xiaowu was shocked and said: "This..."
Ji Yushi said: "Some people are impeaching you for abandoning the Qinglong Army soldiers, which resulted in the death of thousands of Qinglong Army soldiers. In addition, there are people who are impeaching you for supporting the army and disobeying the imperial court's discipline. This second imperial edict is - your punishment."
