Chen Qiyu is such a person, although he doesn't know it.
He was thinking deeply, regretting that Ren Quan'er could not serve as a supervisor and general under him.
He still looks forward to the dream that if Ren Quan'er is around, he can kill Trierdag in the city on the spot.
Ren Quan'er really came to help him attack and kill Trielda.
Although the process was not quite what he expected.
The letter written by Chen Qihuang was sent out of the city, and he received a reply within half an hour.
The format of the reply is very formal, but the font is bold and not in a royal style, and the words are also quite arrogant. It can be seen that it was written by a military general who is familiar with official documents.
The letter stated that the defenders of Xi'an were stubborn and in accordance with the system of the commander's office, the people in the city were not allowed to communicate directly with the commander.
The letter was delivered to the Marshal's House, General Hussars, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Second Field Brigade, and then disappeared.
This thing is more like a receipt than a reply.
I don’t know whether I agree or not; I don’t know whether to send troops or not.
In the afternoon of that day, Chen Qiyu pondered for a long time on the city gate tower, and even asked his family to walk through the chaotic Fucheng Street and into the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to transport back three trucks of official documents to search for information about the Marshal's Mansion.
But after searching around, he checked the leaders of the civilian army who followed Liu Chengzong in his early years, the list of official appointments when the Qinghai Marshal's Office was established, or the list of generals and generals of the two armies during the Hehuang War.
I haven't found any general named Ren.
If only that was the case.
The key point is that Chen Qiyu really found the martial arts and casual hierarchy of the Marshal's Mansion.
General, since the birth of this word, has literally meant the leader of the army.
Over the past dynasties, as the military organization has become more complex, the status of the general's officer number has actually gradually declined.
By the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of people under his command, and most of them could be titled generals in formal documents.
But even so, the official title of Hussar General is still unshakable in its status. It has been the most valuable general title in all dynasties.
The Marshal's Mansion is no exception. It is the first and third level of the general's first, third and ninth levels.
The only ones above him are General Longhu and the generals of the army.
In other words, given Liu Chengzong's current status and the situation on the eve of the Marshal's Mansion, General Hussar is probably the highest military rank currently.
However, with such a high official title and commanding the second-ranked military town, this man named Ren is like a man who jumped out of a stone, and the court actually knows nothing about him?
What made Chen Qiyu even more uneasy was actually the receipt.
The reply letter was in a formal format, and naturally it was signed. The name was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Field Brigade, named Ouyang Gun.
Chen Qiyu is familiar with this person.
A native of Ganzhou, he was originally a staff general. A few years ago, he was going to be the deputy commander-in-chief of Lintao. At that time, Chen Qiyu was still the governor of Yansui.
Why the hell did he go to work for Liu Chengzong as deputy commander-in-chief!
Oh yes, Lanzhou was first, Lintao was gone, Ouyang Gun had no place to take office, and then Gansu fell immediately, and the good Ming humerus was removed to Liu Chengzong.
But where did General Ren come from?
Of course it was Ren Quan'er whom he longed for.
In fact, it wasn't Liu Chengzong who was just being pretentious and refused to accept Chen Qihuang's letter.
In fact, when Chen Qihuang sent this letter, Liu Chengzong had already left Xi'an.
With the reorganization of the two field brigades completed, Chen Qiyu in the city had no choice but to cooperate with the Marshal's Office and began to ransack the homes of wealthy households in the city.
Liu Shishi was completely relieved about Xi'an Mansion.
He knew very well that in the whole of Shaanxi, the greatest threat to the Marshal's Mansion was not Chen Qiyu, but the official position of Governor of the Five Provinces of the Ming Dynasty.
This was one of the first issues that the Marshal's Army had to deal with during the Eastern Expedition, and its priority was second only to the Ming Army's heavy troop group in Shaanxi.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this official position has the most power in the world. If he were not surrounded and killed in Xi'an Fucheng, blocking his ability to convey orders to the outside world, Liu Shishi would not sleep well.
After all, the purpose of organizing this battle was to make a key breakthrough rather than advance across the board. This would inevitably lead to the fact that after the battle, there would still be independent soldiers and local officials all over Shaanxi.
I don't have the ability to go against the marshal's army, but I have the ability to work against the will and even keep the people in peace.
Without the governors of the five provinces to integrate them, it would be just a minor problem. But if Chen Qiyu could contact the outside world, it would be difficult to change the world, but it would be too easy to convince the soldiers and officials to hate Liu Shishi.
Before Chen Qiyu's house was confiscated, he was the governor of five provinces, but after that, he was just an official with some literary and military skills.
I've already broken my spine, so what's there to be afraid of?
So Liu Chengzong simply left the siege of the city to Ren Quan'er and Gao Yingdeng, and took the two battalions back to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
Liu Shishi left the boundary of Xi'an Prefecture, and Chen Qihuang sent the letter out. Naturally, Ren Quan'er, who received the letter, would not tell the truth and only said that they were not worthy of communicating with the Generalissimo.
But Ren Quan'er was willing to cooperate with Chen Qiyu.
Because he knew very well that Liu Chengzong went to Yan'an Mansion not only to worship his ancestors, but also to capture Qingyang Mansion.
Under the governance of the prefect Ju Sirang, Qingyang Mansion was like a peach blossom garden in troubled times.
Liu Chengzong didn't have any good methods to deal with such people.
After all, the marshal's army he carefully built, Iron Plate is a rebel army.
The rebel army here is not a peasant army, but a combination of civilian army and frontier army. What these people have in common is not ideal, at most they have similar values.
I just want to survive, and if I have the ability, I will help others survive.
From the beginning of the founding of the army, their division between the enemy and ourselves has been relatively vague, and the reference is not to power, but to behavior.
Therefore, we attacked both the bandits and the army.
If things go on like this, this army will run rampant in a land where the people are in dire straits, and it will have a very high morale bonus against corrupt officials, rebellious troops, and rich and unkind landlords.
Even if you encounter a rare honest official, it doesn't matter. Anyway, if you want to do good things in this world, luck, ability, and ideals are all indispensable.
But once they meet people like them, they become war-weary.
It's like two civilian armies fighting side by side suddenly break out into a fight, and most of the soldiers will be war-weary.
This top-down characteristic has also directly led to the phenomenon that Shaanxi belongs to the Marshal's Office in name but actually has independent military leaders and independent officials everywhere.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As long as a person has the ability to do human affairs and has no intention of attacking Liu Chengzong, the Marshal's Army will only have a good impression of them, but not hostility.
Although they are all reckless people from top to bottom, they are not bad and are reasonable.
However, in this era, even if Shaanxi officials have great abilities, it is difficult to save a corner.
After all, if you don’t have a problem, others will.
For example, in Qingyang Mansion, Ju Sirang had earlier resettled the refugees, recruited and surrendered Caomang, and created a rare scene of a hundred wastes waiting to be revitalized in Huanmaling, Fengchuan and other places.
However, Qingyang entered a Herenlong, and three thousand soldiers were stationed in Zhenning County, south of Qingyang Prefecture.
Zhenning County belongs to Ningzhou, and the former magistrate of Ningzhou was Sunday Qiang.
When Sunday Qiang was in Ningzhou, he was unable to do anything to the people. The people under his rule were so poor that they had to live in holes in the ground in order to avoid the tax collectors.
It is easy to raise horses in that place, but it is impossible to raise soldiers.
He Renlong was stationing troops there, but he tried everything but couldn't get any food. He still couldn't get food south, so he could only set his sights on Ju Sirang's Qingyang Mansion.
But Ju Sirang was also a fierce man. Based on his benevolence, righteousness and morality, he recruited and surrendered in Qingyang Prefecture and installed tens of thousands of peasant troops.
Will the war be put aside for now? How can this group of desperadoes hand over the food in their hands so easily?
So He Renlong kept talking patiently until winter was approaching and the rations he had racked his brains to collect were about to be exhausted. His demands for rations from Ju Sirang became increasingly fierce, and he finally resorted to threats.
He was gearing up, planning to lead his troops to fight against the old bandits assigned by Ju Sirang.
As a result, Ju Sirang became more violent, scolding him when he retorted, and shaking him down after he finished scolding him.
He first sent a message to Hong Chengchou, who was in charge of Ningxia in the northwest, asking Ningxia Town and Yansui Town troops to go south to suppress the bandits.
Hong Chengchou, who was recruiting new troops, almost fainted when he received the letter.
He thought to himself: Why don't you go south? The Fifth Battalion of Ningxia went south half a year ago. How many people went straight to the underworld without taking thirty years of detours.
He could not contact Yansui Town, and the empty Ningxia Town was retreating steadily due to Cao Yao's continuous Yangzizi offensive. At this time, there was not even a serious general to lead the troops, nor a guerrilla.
He formed a new army, and the acting staff general of the Governor-General Biao Camp was just a commander earlier.
To him, the Ningxia army is good at everything, but they love eating sheep too much.
Hong Chengchou was helpless to Ju Sirang, so he could only send someone to send He Renlong a harmless letter, ordering him not to fight with each other.
He Renlong met with the envoy of the three governors in Zhenning County, respectfully and sincerely invited him to the city, and then asked He Yong to push the envoy down.
He didn't fall to death, He Yong still shot an arrow at the top of the city.
For He Renlong, let alone Hong Chengchou being the governor of the three sides, even if Emperor Chongzhen wrote a letter to persuade him, he would still fight if he should.
If he doesn't fight, the three thousand Yansui soldiers behind him will have to kill him first.
But He Renlong did not expect that Hong Chengchou was just Ju Sirang's delaying tactic.
The purpose was to ask Hong Chengchou to help him delay He Renlong for half a day, so that his envoy could successfully reach Xi'an and return.
Because a few months ago, Ju Sirang, who was peacefully farming in Qingyang Prefecture, received a strange commendation from Lanzhou.
The visitor said that the Generalissimo's Office had elected him as one of the ten most outstanding officials in Shaanxi in the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign.
At that time, in addition to the official-looking commendation documents, he also came with a mink fur collar, a brocade suit, a hundred taels of silver, and an invitation to a banquet at the Lanzhou Li Yamen.
To be honest, when he received the commendation document, Ju Sirang's head buzzed, as if it had been plowed by the cannons of the Hongyi cannon, and it was breathing everywhere.
The prefect of Qingyang thought about it for a long time, and decided to send the small bandit leader who had surrendered to Lanzhou to inquire about it.
Find out what kind of slang this outstanding commendation is in the Marshal's Mansion.
It's a pity that the experts sent there pretended to be merchants. They just entered Lanzhou City and the teahouse benches were not warm before they found out about the tobacco seller. The price of Hequ Majuzi in Hehuang was taken away by the anti-smuggling soldiers who came after hearing the news.
Living.
Ju Sirang felt that these idiots in the Marshal's Mansion were indeed evil.
What kind of anti-reconnaissance capability is this!
Even if he sent a spy into Beijing to find out what the emperor ate when he got up early, he wouldn't have asked Jinyi Fanzi to take it so quickly.
The most annoying thing is that once you capture the spy, you should press for some information or something, right?
No, those bastards with Hehuang accents were greedy and poisonous. They confiscated all the stolen money and didn't ask anything about it. They just beat them up.
Ju Sirang's spy received a good beating. His buttocks were swollen with purple stripes from the big iron rod, making him unable to walk.
After the incident, the gang threw him to Jin County, saying that he was responsible for his crime and was required to be sent to the mines in Jingou Yindong. Considering the small amount of money involved, he was allowed to recuperate in Jin County without anyone watching him.
, if you can run, run by yourself.
He also said that he had found out everything he wanted to know this time, and he would bring more things he wanted to bring with him next time.
Ju Sirang's envoy thought about it for a long time when he came back. He didn't know what he wanted to bring to Lanzhou, let alone what terrible secret he had found out.
After returning to Qingyang, I could only report the truth to the prefect.
He didn't even know that Ju Sirang himself was even more dumbfounded.
In the end, the two of them agreed that they couldn't understand the weird Zhuo Yi slang and the mysterious spies' talk, but they were shocked - the Marshal's Mansion was full of psychopaths.
It is better not to go to the so-called banquet.
Maybe the one hundred taels of silver was just for buying meat, and it wouldn't be surprising if someone went there and was eaten on the spot.
They were all so nervous that they had to give way to Ju Si. What else could they not do?
Originally, this matter was just an incident in the farming process for Ju Sirang. No one mentioned it, and he would soon forget about it.
Unexpectedly, He Renlong came to the door.
Ju Sirang said to her heart, I am from Shandong, and if you don't let me work as an official well, then you can't do it either.
I'm going to call some mentally ill people to come over and beat you to death!
Soon, the documents commending outstanding officials issued by Lanzhou to Ju Sirang were handed over to his subordinates by Ju Sirang.
He was also ordered to run to Xi'an Prefecture as quickly as possible, find Liu Chengzong, and say nothing except: "Generalissimo, there is a man named He Renlong who wants to lead troops to attack your Zhuo Yi official."
After all, Ju Sirang was good at recruiting bandits. He had seen many bandit leaders and lunatics who passed through Qingyang.
He simply felt that Generalissimo Liu Chengzong was extremely energetic, and his symptoms had evolved to the point where the rebel leader paid bounties to court officials.
So in the mind of the generalissimo, isn’t it reasonable for court officials to ask for help from the rebel leaders?
Of course, if Liu Chengzong didn't send troops, then Ju Sirang would die, and he could still feel ashamed of this lunatic before he died.
However, our Liu Shizi really has this logic.
Although Liu Chengzong didn't know when his old man gave Qingyang an outstanding commendation, it didn't matter.
No one can touch the outstanding officials of my Generalissimo's Mansion!
Liu Shizi directly led two battalions north to Yan'an Prefecture, where he commanded Zhang Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the Yanqing Brigade who had not yet completed the reorganization, and went to intimidate the old commander.
At the same time in Xi'an Fucheng, at night when it was impossible to see anything, five hundred Yan'an soldiers crossed the moat from the south of the city, climbed up the city, and attacked the city wall guarded by the Qin Fan.
