Chapter 700 Yangming County
Humans may be the most complex creature in the world, especially when they are away from their hometown for a long time, their mentality will change greatly. This may be a problem that even His Majesty Li Chengtang has ignored today.
Even as the victorious party, Daning's garrison in seeking a position will not always be in a good mood.
The climate in this place will make people irritated after staying for a long time, and the people in this place will make people disgusted after watching it for a long time. Everything in this place is not as good as the hometown of Daning. Many people are beginning to look forward to going back, so their mentality becomes increasingly unstable.
However, for Daning, such a large-scale rotation of troops consumed too much. Moreover, it was preparing for the northern expedition, and the war soldiers in southern Xinjiang were to be transferred to the northern border in large numbers, so there was not too much rotation of troops to Qiuli.
Among the army, the one who changes his mind the most in his mind is Haisha's troops. Perhaps Haisha himself does not pay much attention to this issue.
His people were trained in dense mountains and forests. They had been closed for a long time before the southern expedition. The long-term war after the southern expedition made people more killing.
Haisha was worried that Zhuang Yong would not be able to bear it, so he took on more military affairs, which led to the mobilization of his subordinates being much more intense than Zhuang Yong's old subordinates, which made his subordinates feel unfair.
The outbreak of the contradiction was the distribution of warships. Although Zhuang Yong made adjustments, the generals who were directly demoted by Haisha were inevitably resentful.
Shen Leng and his friends hired several carriages in Linjiang town and first went to Yangming County to buy some supplies. From here, it was more than 500 miles to Nanping City. In order to find the road conditions, it would take seven or eight days at the fastest.
Just as the carriage was about to leave the town, a team of black knights stopped Shen Leng's team.
The leader was Yang Qi, a Qian Office stationed in Qiuli by Tingwei Mansion.
"General Shen, please speak with your back."
Yang Qi jumped off the horse's back and clasped his fists. Shen Leng looked at Cha Ye and signaled her not to worry. He got off the carriage and walked into the forest on the side of the road. Cha Ye only saw Yang Qi keep saying something, and seemed a little excited. It was Qianban from the Tingwei Mansion. After experiencing so many storms and waves, he could only become Qianban. Such a person could not hide his excitement in front of Shen Leng, who had first seen him. It seemed that things were not small.
Shen Leng frowned: "Is it so serious?"
Yang Qi nodded: "The general has not been there for a long time. He does not understand the situation here. In fact, it may be more serious than what I said. General Haisha has always led troops in front to eliminate the rebels. The people left behind in the rear have become increasingly domineering. During this period of investigation, Beizhi found that they actually dared to change the imperial court's laws and collected twice as much as the imperial court's prescribed. Four or five crowds have gathered to protest in Yangming County. Lou Hu, the garrison captain of Yangming County, was dealt with in rebellion and killed hundreds of people. At least two thousand people in Yangming County known to have forced him to join the rebels."
Shen Leng asked: "Why don't you go to see General Haisha? Since Lou Hu is the chief of General Haisha's personal army, General Haisha cannot ignore it."
“Go to see it.”
Yang Qi said: "After I went to see each other last time, General Haisha angrily dealt with dozens of people, including five generals. For this reason, the conflict between General Haisha and the people in our Tingwei Mansion is getting worse. Lou Hu is the personal army of General Haisha. He is one of his most trusted subordinates. Once Lou Hu is moved, General Haisha will... "
Yang Qi glanced at Chen Leng, but did not say anything afterwards.
In fact, there is no need to say that Haisha's subordinates would think that Zhuang Yong and the Tingwei Mansion jointly targeted them, so this made them more united and their resistance would be stronger. Haisha was determined to lead troops, and he did not take much into account local affairs, which caused local chaos. Moreover, Haisha himself did not think that seeking a person is worthy of pity. He only hoped to see more military rations transported back to Daning. As for how these military rations came from, he didn't care.
The subordinates were eager to take credit and handed over twice the amount of military rations than expected. Will Haisha blame them?
"People like Lou Hu think that Qiu Liren should be damned. He doesn't think that this may cause greater civil unrest. They always feel that Qiu Liren is vulnerable. Even if those refugees become bandits, they don't care. At worst, they can kill them completely."
Chen Leng paced back and forth: "I just returned from China, and Your Majesty did not give me any decree and responsibilities. He just asked me to come back to help the general clear out the rebellion and stabilize the place, and train a group of people in southern Xinjiang to come out and transport them to northern Xinjiang to participate in the war in the future... My responsibilities are more about training troops. If I directly target people like Lou Hu as soon as I come back, it will make General Haisha's subordinates think that I am here to compete for power with Haisha."
Yang Qi nodded: "I came to see the general in desperation. I could use my power to handle Lou Hu, but I was worried that once Lou Hu was taken down, it would arouse greater conflicts."
Chen Leng frowned deeper and deeper: "I'll talk about this after I've seen General Zhuang Yong in Nanping City."
He glanced at Yang Qi: "But you can meet this Lou Hu first."
Yang Qi suddenly realized something: "The general said just now that His Majesty's will is the general who will come back to assist the general? In other words, the general will not be transferred back?"
Chen Leng nodded: "This is why I said I would go to see Lou Hu first, and asked him to make a microphone to clearly tell them that the general was the one who decided to establish this place."
Yang Qi smiled on his face: "It's good to do this, just suppress their arrogance first."
Chen Leng nodded: "Then let's go see each other?"
Yang Qi clasped his fists: "I respect my duties."
Chen Leng got in the car again, and Cha Ye looked at him with concern. Chen Leng told Cha Ye about the current situation of Qiu Li, and Cha Ye's face became solemn. Chen Leng suddenly returned, breaking the situation of Qiu Li, which would make many people uncomfortable.
Originally, Zhuang Yong was in charge of Haisha's cultivation. Now that Shen Leng has returned, Haisha's power will be divided by Chen Leng. Everyone knows that Chen Leng is Zhuang Yong's confidant and a person promoted by Zhuang Yong, so naturally it is impossible for him to stand on Haisha's side.
This contradiction seems clear, but it is more difficult than the situation that Chen Leng has to deal with in the face of civil and military ministers in Chang'an City.
"I know General Haisha."
Chen Leng said: "Maybe it is because he loves his subordinates too much that he is arrogant and domineering. No one is more looking forward to the general returning to Chang'an than them. Only when the general leaves will they be happy."
Mr. Cha said: "It's better to go and meet Sister Lin, her ideas will be more meticulous."
Chen Leng nodded: "Go to Yangming County first, and go to Nanping City to see her. The whole situation of seeking independence is a bit strange. The general's old subordinates are decadent and depressed. They all feel that after the general is transferred back to Chang'an, they will inevitably be bullied by Haisha's troops, so that people are in panic. For the sake of the present, more people must know as soon as possible that the general will not be transferred back."
Mr. Cha looked at Chen Leng: "But in this way, you will become the one who stands out and is at the forefront of the storm."
Chen sneered and said, "The General treats me like a son, so I have to do something stupid after all, just offend people... I am not afraid of offending anyone."
The carriage followed the official road to Yangming County. When the road was halfway, the team suddenly stopped again. Chen Leng asked what was going on. The personal soldiers outside replied that there seemed to be a fight ahead.
The inner road of seeking establishment has been decided, and most of the rebels are in the deep mountains and forests. This place is less than five miles away from Yangming County. Are there any fighting?
Chen Leng got out of the car and told Cha Ye to wait in the car.
Chen Ran led a dozen personal soldiers and Shen Leng forward, and saw a group of people wearing Daning warriors in the field on the side of the official road from afar, killing people. Some Qiu Liren, who were holding wooden sticks and sickles, were still resisting, but they were quickly suppressed, at least twenty people were killed, and more than a dozen people were held down.
Chen Leng walked closer and the soldiers in the field saw the general armor on Chen Leng's body, and quickly stood up and saluted.
"Who leads the team?"
Shen Leng asked.
A team was running up to Guandao from the field and saluted again: "Return to the general, the general is Yang Ping, the commander of the captain of Lou Hu, Yang Ming County, and was ordered to kill the remnants of the rebels."
"Rebellion remnants?"
Chen Leng looked at the murdered people, but it was not like asking for soldiers.
Team leader Yang Ping also looked up and down Chen Leng for a few glances: "Who is the general?"
Chen Ran said: "This is the Admiral General of the Sea Survey Navy."
"General Shen?!"
Yang Ping immediately became excited: "It turned out to be General Chen, General Chen...you, we all know you, but I didn't expect to see General..."
He was so excited that he was incoherent.
Chen sneered and said, "I will see it often in the future. I will stay in Quejian for a long time. What crimes have these people committed?"
"Destroy the field."
Yang Ping quickly replied: "They kept wandering around at night, destroying a large number of seedlings, setting fire to the house guarding the military farm, and killing several people."
Chen Leng nodded: "Are they natives from Yangming County?"
“None are not.”
Yang Ping turned around: "Bring everyone up."
The soldiers took the people up. Yang Qi from Qianban walked up to ask, then looked back at Chen Leng: "It's a refugee from Jinyuan County next to him."
Chen Leng thought for a while: "It's not possible to kill this way. He took everyone to the county town, tied them up at the county government office, and then summoned the people to the county government office to watch."
Yang Qi did not understand Chen Leng's meaning for a moment. Chen Leng did not say anything more, but turned to look at Yang Ping, the team leader: "I'll go back and tell Lou Hu first, and I'll say I'll go to him at noon and have a lunch."
Yang Ping was obviously so excited that he responded and hurried back first. The remaining people tied the refugees and followed Chen Leng's team to the county town. When they arrived outside the county town, Lou Hu had already brought people to greet him. It seemed that he had heard of Chen Leng's name for a long time. When he saw Chen Leng's reaction was almost the same as Yang Ping's, he was so excited that he couldn't control it.
With a bang, Lou Hu performed a standard Daning military salute: "I am not good at Lou Hu, pay homage to the general!"
For them, Chen Leng is a legend in the army.
Chen Leng reached out and helped Lou Hu: "Why are you all brothers of war soldiers? By the way, we should have seen each other, right?"
Lou Hu quickly replied with a smile: "I saw him once, but I saw the general from a distance last time and couldn't speak. Later, Bei Zhi was transferred here soon and was no longer the chief of General Hai's personal army."
"General Hai will take care of you too. Let you be the captain, and you will be promoted to general soon."
Chen Leng said as he walked in, "Have the people all gathered?"
"The gong has been ringed and it should be gathered at the county government office soon."
