The first thousand seven hundred and twenty-four chapters
Before dawn, after the results of the Japanese pirates' night attack came out, Zhao Wenhua sent people to recruit all the camp leaders to come to the commander's tent to discuss matters.
Veteran He Qing used to rely on his veteran qualifications and rely on his seniority to sell off his seniority. He relied on his seniority to sell off his seniority. Every time he attended the meeting, he was always late.
He often pays for his qualifications. I am a famous general in Sichuan and Sichuan. During the Zhengde period, I inherited the position of my ancestors and took up the command post. Because of my outstanding ability, I was promoted to Junlian garrison not long after. In the early years of Jiajing, Mangbu Tushe Longzheng, Tufu Zhilu and others rebelled. It was I, He Qing, who led the troops to put down their rebellion, and was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief for his merits. In a few years, the soldiers of more than ten villages in Weimao Fan robbed the army and attacked Maozhou and Changning forts, and I, He Qing, together with my then deputy envoy Zhu Wan, led the troops to annihilate them. The various factions fought to sacrifice their culprits and cut off their fingers and ears with blood, vowing not to rebel again. I was promoted to the governor of the department for my merits. I know the same thing. But I was recuperating and took a temporary post. Later, when the war broke out, the Holy One called me to lead the soldiers in the war. Because I was still ill, I declined, which angered the Holy One. The Holy One took away the governorship and demoted me to the commander-in-chief. Footman of the Ministry of War.
If this is not the case, how do you, the juniors, have the right to be on the same level as me? They are all just servants under my account.
However, today was an exception. As soon as he received the news, he set off today and was the first to arrive at Zhao Wenhua's handsome tent.
The reason why they stopped holding on to their qualifications and came belatedly was because this night attack by Japanese pirates caused their battalion to suffer the heaviest casualties and the greatest losses.
On the one hand, he has no room for his old face, but more importantly, he is worried about being treated as a model by Zhao Wenhua.
Therefore, he actively came to the commander's camp, with a positive attitude and actions, so as not to irritate Zhao Wenhua.
When he arrived at the commander's tent, Zhao Wenhua was not there.
There is nothing else in the handsome tent except a long table where Zhao Wenhua works and a handsome chair dedicated to Zhao Wenhua.
"Old General, Mr. Zhao is drafting an official document with Mr. Hu. Please wait a moment."
A soldier stepped forward cautiously and asked He Qing to wait for a moment, lest He Qing, a veteran general, lose his temper.
The soldiers have already figured out these days that among these generals, only two veteran generals, He Qing and Shen Xiyi, are difficult to serve.
"No problem, no problem, official documents are important, I'll just wait." He Qing had a very good attitude this time, waved his hand, and was very talkative.
Not long after He Qing sat down, someone else came.
The second person to come in was Shen Xiyi.
Shen Xiyi's experience is almost exactly the same as that of He Qing. He also inherited the position of commander of the imperial guard from his ancestors during the Zhengde period. He also conquered the north and south, and was first promoted to the commander of the capital, then to the general, and then to the commander-in-chief. In Guizhou, he also recovered from his illness and returned home two years later. Then, the war broke out, and Emperor Jiajing called him to lead the army. He refused, claiming to be ill, which angered Emperor Jiajing. He was demoted to command the capital and waited for orders at the Ministry of War.
After Shen Xiyi was transferred to Jiangnan, like He Qing, she often neglected her veteran qualifications.
The reason why he actively came to the commander's tent to listen to the order this time was because the Japanese pirates attacked at night and his camp suffered a lot of losses. Like He Qing, he was worried about being used as a model, so he actively came to listen to the order to avoid irritating Zhao Wenhua.
"Master Shen is here."
After He Qing saw Shen Xiyi entering the commander's tent, he said hello and took the initiative to stand on Shen Xiyi's right hand side.
In ancient times, the hierarchy of officialdom was very strict. During the Zhou, Qin, and Han Dynasties, the right was respected in our country. During the Sui, Tang, and Song Dynasties, our country gradually formed a system in which the left was respected and the right was subordinated. In the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu ordered the left to be respected.
For respect, customization was formed.
The reason why He Qing took the initiative to give up his position on the left was because in this night attack by Japanese pirates, more than 400 people were killed in his camp, while only more than 370 people were killed in Shen Xiyi's army. Shen Xiyi was more qualified to stand on the side.
Left hand side.
Not long after Shen Xiyi arrived, someone else entered the account.
This time it was Tang Kekuan who came in.
After He Qing and Shen Xiyi came in, they moved to the right in unison and gave up their left-hand position to Tang Kekuan.
Although Tang Kekuan's army killed 406 people and injured more than 300 people, Tang Kekuan's army killed 27 Japanese pirates who attacked the camp. These gains were enough to make He Qing and Shen Xiyi retreat.
gave way.
You know, He Qing and Shen Xiyi's armies suffered such heavy losses, but they did not capture even a single Japanese pirate head.
"General He, General Shen, how dare you?" Tang Kekuan declined, but his feet did not move.
Tang Kekuan had long been dissatisfied with the two veteran generals who relied on their seniority and were very arrogant and neglectful towards young generals like them. Moreover, these two veteran generals also used their experience as an excuse to fail to implement the regulations conscientiously many times.
The generals who executed Governor Zhang cooperated with them in drills and drills, but many of them did not cooperate.
This time, after learning that the two veterans' camps had suffered heavy losses but gained nothing, he couldn't help but chuckle.
At this moment, seeing the two veteran generals give up and give up their positions, he felt secretly happy. He pretended to decline, and then stood there calmly.
Soon, someone else came in.
The visitor this time is Yu Dayou.
Yu Dayou was a tall man with broad arms and a round waist. After entering the handsome tent, he took the initiative to greet the two old generals He Qing and Shen Xiyi, and then greeted Tang Kekuan with a smile and clasped fists.
Although Yu Dayou now has a higher official position than them, he still treats them as juniors, because both He Qing and Shen Xiyi were his immediate superiors, and Yu Dayou had both served as their deputy or general.
Although He Qing and Shen Xiyi are not as good as him in official positions now, they often act like their old leaders towards him.
But Yu Dayou still treated them with great respect.
"General Yu is here, please"
He Qing and Shen Xiyi no longer acted like old leaders this time. They cupped their fists in return and took the initiative to move to the right, leaving the left position for Yu Dayou.
Although Yu Dayou's army suffered heavy casualties, with 398 people killed in this night attack by Japanese pirates, the number of Japanese pirates who attacked his army was larger, eighty in total, which was more than the Japanese pirates who attacked their three-man camp.
Moreover, what made them even more cautious was that the eighty Japanese pirates who attacked Yu Dayou's military camp left sixty-five corpses behind.
"General Yu, please."
Tang Kekuan cupped his fists and asked Yu Dayou to stand on the left.
He admired Yu Dayou very much, whether it was Yu Dayou's ability to defeat thousands of others, or Yu Dayou's command and command.
Yu Dayou repeatedly gave in, but He Qing, Shen Xiyi and Tang Kekuan all insisted, so Yu Dayou had to stand on the left.
Not long after Yu Dayou arrived, the Marquis of Linhuai felt shy and Shi Shiran walked in.
The Marquis of Linhuai had a red face and an arrogant expression. After entering, he looked at the situation in the handsome tent and calmly walked to the far left.
Last night, Zhu Pingan gave him eighty Japanese pirate corpses. He worked with the Zhejiang Army to rescue the civilian camp and saved thousands of people. At the same time, he cooperated with the Zhejiang Army to capture eighteen Japanese pirate heads. Zhu Pingan also all
Gave it to him.
The capture of ninety-eight Japanese pirate heads and the rescue of tens of thousands of people gave him enough confidence to stand on the left.
He Qing, Shen Xiyi, Tang Kekuan, Yu Dayou and others also took the initiative to move to the right.
