"Inform our soldiers to put away their guns! Go to Guan Ningjun to borrow blunderbuss and swords, and prepare to take over Shanhaiguan!" Since the enemy hasn't noticed my existence yet, let's continue to play with them. Fortunately, it's not
The whole army needs to enter the city, otherwise Guan Ning's army will really be unable to use its two or three thousand muskets.
"Follow your orders!" I don't know what Zhu Youcong meant by this, but since the order has been issued, Lu Xiangsheng can only execute it.
For seven days, there was a constant flow of people inside Shanhaiguan. As the final losers, the Tatars left with low morale and dissatisfaction. Every prince and Baylor who led the team would look at the smiling man on the wall after leaving the city.
, he kept waving his hands and making other little fat people spit on him.
Guan Ning's army, who was responsible for taking over the city, couldn't be happy either. Although they fought against the Tatars and captured a lot of servants, the real credit must go to those black-clothed soldiers. Since last night,
At the beginning, news had spread that their supervisor Yuan Chonghuan had been arrested and imprisoned, and what awaited them was a complete reorganization.
"Brother Zhao, are we just going to watch being swallowed up by others?" Vice General Tu was very unhappy. He said that once the emperor is the emperor, there are always ministers, but who is willing to give up the rights he has obtained? No matter what, we have captured so many.
The Tatar servant army, how can it be said that it has been reorganized?
"If you don't watch, what else can you do?" Zhao Zhong was very confused. On the one hand, as a hereditary general of Liaodong, he was unwilling to be annexed by others. On the other hand, in the past few days, the contest with the Tatars
, he took everything in his eyes. As a soldier, how many people don't want their troops to become like that?
"Hey... now we can only take one step at a time." Vice General Qi was also at a loss. Seeing that the emperor's troops had achieved such a great victory and saved so many people, and their reputation in Liaodong was at its peak, who could care less?
Do you dare to jump out at this time and make yourself unhappy?
"How about we find connections with the adults in Beijing?" Lieutenant General Tu was not willing to give up his position just like that. Although the civil servants have become more and more greedy in recent years, they can still get some benefits out of their hands.
For himself, if he really loses his military power, what will he do to support his large family?
"That's fine. Brother Tu, you can go and give it a try!" Although Zhao and Qi disdained being associated with this scum who only drank the blood of soldiers all day long, they really didn't mind him being a standout.
The generals are busy planning their way out and looking for people who need to take refuge, but the ordinary soldiers at the lower level don't have that much thought. In their view, they are all eating food and getting paid and working for the court anyway. Who is in charge is different? It's a whole
That's fine, we don't expect to be able to eat meat every meal like the emperor's personal army, as long as the new governor can pay enough monthly salary.
"Brother Cong, who are you going to let take over this Guan Ning army?" Chongzhen slumped on his chair without any image, holding the signed agreement in his hand, he was so happy that he could hardly open his eyes.
"Sun Chengzong!" Zhu Youcong lay on the camp bed, not even bothering to look at the second brother. He was also exhausted these days. Not only was he busy arranging the reception, but he was also thinking about how to use this short period of peace to strengthen himself.
Strength.
"Sun Chengzong? Isn't he training a new army in Luoyang?" Chongzhen also wanted to ask his precious brother to organize more such armies to completely wipe out the Tatars; by then, if everyone is free and in a good mood
, you might as well educate the old enemies of the residual Yuan in the north.
"Leave the new army to Mao Wenlong first!" Now that he has a little more money, Zhu Youcong has more to think about. Letting Sun Chengzong come to Liaodong should be the best choice. After all, this Guan Ning army is what he originally
It was built by his own hands. Now let him reorganize these old subordinates, so that the uneasiness in the army can be minimized...
"Okay!" Chongzhen had no plans at first, but now he was happy to see that Zhu Youcong had made arrangements.
"By the way, how are you going to deal with Yuan Chonghuan?" He was happy, but Chongzhen had not forgotten the guy who dared to deceive him.
"I want to meet him before making a decision." Zhu Youcong really didn't think about how to deal with Yuan Chonghuan. This man has indeed made many wrong decisions. It can even be said that he is brave and foolhardy. He is so happy with his success. Some people say that he is self-destructive.
The Great Wall plunged Ming Dynasty into a point of no return. But judging from his behavior that day when he still led his army to meet the enemy despite the huge disparity in strength, at least he still had a lot of blood and was not a traitor.
.Perhaps he is not suitable to sit in his current position, but there is no need to put him to death by Ling Chi like in history.
"I want to see you, but my brother is not in the mood!" Chongzhen's anger is not so easy to get rid of. To say that you have deceived me, you have some real ability. But look at the bad things he did,
If I didn't have my eldest brother and brother Cong to help me, I'm afraid it would be really dangerous this time. I picked up Zhu Youcong's special gun on the table, walked out and said: "I'm going to hunt two rabbits for you, tonight we will
Let’s bake it and eat it together!”
Chongzhen was busy with leisure and entertainment, and Zhu Youcong's life was not so good. He had to cheer up and drag Gao Doushu with him to see Yuan Chonghuan with a straight face.
"The guilty minister has seen the general who governs the country!" After reflection in the prison these days, Yuan Chonghuan also knew that the mistake he made this time was really too serious. The emperor did not wait to return to the capital and wanted someone to interrogate him. It seemed that he must be
There will be no good results. I just hope that the little fat man in front of me can be happy and not let myself suffer too much.
"Whether you are guilty or not will be discussed later. I just want to ask you a question now!" Zhu Youcong's face was expressionless, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Zhu Youcong walked up to Yuan Chonghuan, looked at him carefully and then said: "That day outside Funing Guards, you faced an enemy ten times your own, why did you dare to confront him head-on?"
Yuan Chonghuan looked curious and said matter-of-factly: "Because I am the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, I should be loyal to the country."
"But you also know that Guan Ning's army was already exhausted at that time. Aren't you afraid of being wiped out by the Tatars without knowing the enemy's situation?" Zhu Youcong nodded secretly. That's right. This man is really not a bad person.
He has many faults, but at least he knows how to do his duty faithfully.
"I didn't think so much at the time." Yuan Chonghuan raised his head and said decisively: "Even if our entire Guan Ning cavalry army is destroyed, as long as we can delay the Tatars for a moment longer and buy a little more time for our Ming Dynasty, it will be worth it!
"
Zhu Youcong returned to his seat, stared at Yuan Chonghuan and said, "Then you really never thought about surrendering?"
"Surrender?" Yuan Chonghuan suddenly became so angry that he even changed his title and shouted: "General! Although you are interrogating subordinates under the emperor's order, you cannot slander me like this! How can I, the Yuan family, have been loyal for generations, so why would you do such a thing?
Something that everyone abandons together?”
"You don't have to be too angry." Very good, he didn't see the wrong person. Zhu Youcong picked up the tea cup with satisfaction and said: "Then do you know the mistakes you made?"
"I shouldn't believe the slander and open the horse market." After thinking about it, Yuan Chonghuan said again: "We should not dispatch the guards of Shanhaiguan to make it easy for the Tatars to invade and threaten our capital of the Ming Dynasty..."
"That's all?" It seems that he still didn't realize the real mistake.
Is there anything else? I just concluded this after thinking about it for several days. The other things that allowed my subordinates to withhold military pay should not be as big as these two things! As for currying favor with Wei Zhongxian back then, wasn't that forced by the situation? Yuan Chonghuan didn't
Xie Di said: "General, please give me a clear explanation!"
"You first weaken the troops in Ji Town, put heavy troops in Jinzhou to empty the troops in the pass; then open the horse market, prepare food and grass for the Tatars to invade south, and personally facilitate the Tatars to enter the fortress through Jimen for the first time. This can only show your
Your vision is not good enough, but it is not the biggest problem." Zhu Youcong stood up suddenly and said: "Your fault is that you are jealous of the talented and capable, and you intend to kill Mao Wenlong in Shuangdao..."...
Without waiting for Yuan Chonghuan to explain, Zhu Youcong continued: "Do you know that if the Tatars do not eliminate the Dongjiang Army, there will be no peace for a day? If there is still Mao Shuai behind the enemy lines, even if there are those you mentioned before
How could the Tatars dare to offend our Ming Dynasty so easily?"
"This..." Yuan Chonghuan tried to explain something, but he swallowed his words again. Forget it, although Mao Wenlong broke through and disappeared without a trace in the end, it was still a bad thing he had done after all. The little general in front of him
Let him condemn you however you want, as long as you don't say that we are traitors and cowards.
"Tell you something." Zhu Youcong said with a leisurely smile: "Mao Wenlong was rescued by people sent by this general. Before this general sent troops, he was on his way to Luoyang."
"What?" Yuan Chonghuan simply couldn't believe this fact. He wanted to get rid of Mao Wenlong for more than a day or two. He made a lot of preparations in advance, and even selected the most loyal soldiers when he did it. How could this little fat man do it in advance?
Arrangements were made? But looking at his expression, it didn't look like he was deceiving himself.
"Xiang Xian, how should I deal with Governor Yuan according to Ming law?" Just let him know where he went wrong. How to deal with it depends on him.
"Yuan Chonghuan's orders were ineffective, and he only relied on deception. He stole money when selling rice, beheaded commanders when seeking money, allowed the enemy to drive, stopped the army without fighting. According to the law, he should be punished with a dish to abandon the market, and his whole family should be beheaded!" Gao Doushu!
He couldn't help but envy Yuan Chonghuan's good luck. He changed the topic and said: "However, he led his army to stop the enemy at Funing Guards and captured tens of thousands. Therefore, we can defeat him, cut him in half, and send the whole family to the army!"
"Thank you, Master Gao!" Ever since he entered this big tent, Yuan Chonghuan never expected to get out alive. Just now when Gao Doushu mentioned Lingchi, he couldn't help but tremble all over; although he would still end up tragically in the end,
But it is still much better than the death by a thousand cuts.
"Don't be too busy thanking him!" Since this person is not useless, don't waste it. Zhu Youcong has already thought of how to torture Yuan Chonghuan. This method is definitely more fun than killing him.
"General..." Yuan Chonghuan has not responded yet, but Gao Doushu refuses to agree. They say that killing can only be done with a nod of the head. What else do you want to do to a person who is so lucky?
"Don't interrupt!" After giving Gao Doushu a fierce look, Zhu Youcong said to Yuan Chonghuan: "Now I give you two choices, the general. One is to do as Lord Gao just said. The other is to follow me to Luoyang and enter.
Become a pawn in Mao Wenlong's army! Wherever you go, you make your own choice!"
ps: Regarding Yuan Chonghuan’s question, I believe that at least one thing is true. On the 25th of the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Boar Pi led 130,000 Tatar troops to cross the Liaohe River and drove westward with an unstoppable force.
They marched in and besieged Ningyuan City. The Ming army led by Yuan Chonghuan to defend Ningyuan only had more than 10,000 people, and they were ten times less powerful than them. So, let the little fat man continue to torture him!
