Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Nine: Plot
Since Zhu Quan agreed to send someone to contact the three guards of Wuliangha, Han Du didn't care.
Back at Shanzi Camp, Xu Chengfei came up to him with bright eyes. He pulled Han Du and asked in a low voice, "What are you planning to do?"
"What are you doing?" Han Du looked like he had no idea what you were talking about, but his eyes rolled involuntarily.
When Xu Chengfei saw Han Du's eyeballs move, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He straightened up and said with a smile, "What are your plans for the troops of King Ning and King of Liao? What are you planning in your mind?"
"What are your plans?" Han Du continued to pretend to be confused, "What ideas can I make?"
Xu Chengfei suddenly became anxious. He immediately glared and asked sternly, "Don't beat me around the bush. I'm asking you, if you didn't make up your mind, why did you give him cotton clothes and arms? Let me tell you, I am not Prince Ning."
Those two idiots and the King of Liao don’t know you at all. I don’t know you yet? As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what kind of shit you are going to do!”
Han Du suddenly realized something, and showed an expression that said he had misunderstood, and explained, "Hey, look at what you said. They are not soldiers of the imperial court, but they are under the general's command and obey his orders. I can't watch it.
They are all in tatters, what do they look like?"
After hearing this, Xu Chengfei immediately snorted and said with disdain, "Although you are called a good boy, when did you become willing to do business at a loss? There are more than 40,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes and so much military equipment.
, just because you couldn’t stand it, you gave it to King Ning and King Liao in vain? You don’t even believe it!
Tell me quickly, what are your plans?"
When Han Du saw Xu Chengfei staring straight at him, knowing that he couldn't be fooled, he immediately rubbed his nose and fell silent.
"Say it quickly!" Seeing this, Xu Chengfei didn't know that he had guessed correctly? He quickly stretched out his hand to push Han Du and stepped up his urging.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Xu Chengfei, Han Du had to hesitate and said "this"
"Stop this and that, say it quickly!" Xu Chengfei suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Han Du straightened up, glanced at Xu Chengfei with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "King Ning and King Liao have hundreds of thousands of troops, aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about?" Xu Chengfei frowned, asked in a low voice, and then said to himself, "They want to be prepared for the Meng Yuan people to move south. How can they resist without so many soldiers?"
Han Du pulled Xu Chengfei into the handsome tent and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
"This was indeed the case before, but what about in the future? After we wiped out the Tatars this time, do you think the land of Liaodong still needs so many soldiers and horses?"
"Of course it's not necessary!" Xu Chengfei nodded without hesitation.
Hearing this, Han Du put the tea to his lips, put it down immediately, and said with a smile, "Then what do you think we will do with these soldiers and horses then?"
Xu Chengfei followed Han Du's train of thought, thought for a moment, and said, "Transform him into a civilian on the spot, or send him back to his hometown."
Han Du laughed and said, "You really think simply. Let me ask you, at that time, will King Ning and King Liao willingly give up their armies?"
Xu Chengfei was silent after hearing this. He didn't know whether King Ning and King Liao would give up their military power.
Han Du ignored his silence and continued, "Holding military power in one hand, commanding all sides, and keeping one's word! Let me ask, how can people who have enjoyed these things willingly give up their military power? People who have eaten meat, how can you then
Asking him to go back to being a vegetarian would be more uncomfortable for him than killing him."
Xu Chengfei's expression gradually became serious, and he frowned and said, "But if the emperor decrees that they should be relieved of military power, do they still dare to resist the decree?"
"Of course they don't dare to resist the decree." Han Du said with a smile, and then changed his words, "But they don't need to resist the decree to firmly hold the military power in their hands."
Xu Chengfei suddenly fell silent when he heard this. There were too many such methods, and he thought of more than one at this moment.
Han Du continued, "If nothing else, since the imperial court uses this peace in Liaodong to reduce their military power, then they can only
To prove that Liaodong is not peaceful, wouldn't it be possible to legitimately hold military power in our hands?"
"You mean, they will raise the bandits to respect themselves?" Xu Chengfei said with some doubts and some certainty.
Han Du picked up the teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, then lifted the teapot and poured it for himself.
"They don't even need to raise bandits. They just need to report to the court that there are bandits here."
Xu Chengfei let out a long sigh and had no choice but to nod in agreement, "That's true. Your worries are very reasonable. We have to guard against this!"
Han Du smiled and said nothing. It was good to have Xu Chengfei, a very thorough friend.
Xu Chengfei glanced at Han Du and asked worriedly, "Then you took these soldiers and horses away, aren't you going to return them?"
"Ha!" Han Du sneered and spoke frankly.
"When you see me borrowing something, when will you return it?"
Xu Chengfei was extremely speechless at Han Du's attitude of not being ashamed but proud, but what he cared about now was not that. What he cared about was, "Then what are you going to do with these soldiers and horses?"
Han Du lowered his head to drink tea. When he heard these words, he immediately raised his head and looked at Xu Chengfei who was staring at him with confusion. He frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Han Du looked at Xu Chengfei's expression and felt something was wrong.
Xu Chengfei did not relax at all. He stared at Han Du and said, "Are you planning to take advantage of this Northern Expedition to kill them?"
As he spoke, Xu Chengfei reached out and made a gesture of cutting his throat. On the battlefield, it is simply too easy to kill an army. Moreover, this is also the simplest and most direct way to deal with it.
"Pfft" The tea in Han Du's mouth spurted out. Fortunately, Han Du reacted in time and turned his head to avoid Xu Chengfei, otherwise it would have sprayed all over his face.
"Ahem, what are you talking about?" Han Du choked and felt a little uncomfortable, but he explained without hesitation, "These are all good men of the Ming Dynasty, how could I trap them?"
Xu Chengfei glanced at Han Du doubtfully, then nodded and said to himself, "Yes, if you have this intention, there is no need to give them cotton clothes and ordnance. But what exactly do you think and how do you plan to deal with them?"
"
When Han Du saw that he was talking about this, he no longer hid it from him, "Haha, isn't this simple? Just find a way to make them obey our orders."
"Hmph! These generals are the confidants of King Ning and King Liao, how could they listen to us?" Xu Chengfei sneered at Han Du's words. If these generals could really be easily made to rebel, wouldn't that be too much?
Have you underestimated King Ning and King Liao too much?
Han Du looked confident and said with a smile, "Who wants these generals? We can't convince them, so why can't we convince the soldiers? As long as the soldiers are willing to obey our orders, these generals can go back if they are willing. It doesn't matter!"
"What are you going to do?" Xu Chengfei's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he couldn't think of what to do, he knew that Han Du had always been resourceful.
Han Du glanced around and whispered, "So and so."
The more Xu Chengfei listened, the more elated he became. After listening, he couldn't help but raise his finger and point at Han Du, saying, "You're lucky that you can even think of such a way."
Looking at Xu Chengfei's expression, he almost pointed at his nose and scolded Han Du for being shameless.
Han Du didn't care and took it lightly
He wrote, "Just tell me if it's okay."
"Okay! Why not?"
Early the next morning, Han Du ordered the construction of a larger military camp on the grounds of facilitating the unified deployment of troops, preparing to mobilize all troops and horses in one place.
Such an ordinary order did not arouse anyone's thoughts. As a general, Han Du had the authority to order all the armies, so it was reasonable and reasonable to gather the troops together.
When the new camp was built, all the soldiers and horses gathered here to set up camp.
Of course, the troops and horses of each side are still clearly divided. The Shanzi camp and the Beijing camp are mixed together, in the middle of the main camp; King Ning's 40,000 soldiers and horses are on the left, and King Liao's 20,000 soldiers and horses are on the right.
However, these three groups of soldiers and horses gathered together. After only one day, the soldiers and horses of King Ning and King of Liao felt that something was wrong.
When the soldiers saw that the Shanzi Camp and the Jing Camp did not even have bows or crossbows, and were completely armed with firearms, they naturally became curious.
We are all stationed in the same camp, so we naturally feel a bit close to each other. Since we are curious, there will naturally be bold people who come forward to talk and ask.
And the people in Shanziying did not have a condescending attitude. They did not refuse anyone who asked, and explained everything to them one by one. Some even found out after chatting with them that they were fellow villagers. With tears in their eyes, they directly took out the revolver and put it in the hands of the fellow villagers.
, teach him step by step how to use this firearm.
"Bang~"
As the fire flashed away in front of his eyes, the soldiers stared dumbfoundedly as the target in the distance shattered.
"How's it going? Aren't you awesome?"
The Shanziying soldier took back the revolver proudly. This was a treasure that he loved more than his wife. Even if he is a fellow countryman, it is enough to let him experience it once, and he will not be happy with it any more.
The soldier swallowed his saliva, never taking his eyes off the revolver, and sighed, "No wonder you don't bring a bow and arrows. With such powerful firearms, who would want a bow and arrows!"
"To be honest, our Shanzi camp and Jing camp have all replaced their bows and arrows with firearms a long time ago. Bows and arrows can shoot very close, but their power is still weak. In rainy weather, they can't draw the bowstring. How can they be used?
Is this baby awesome?"
The Shanziying soldier put the revolver back into the leather case, buckled it again, and patted it to signal the fellow villagers not to look at it.
The soldier then reluctantly looked away, his eyes full of overflowing envy.
Within a few days, the continuous fire of the revolver and the huge power of the divine thunder gun spread throughout the camp, making the soldiers of King Ning and King Liao envious.
