The Zhenbei Army rebelled and captured Yanyu City, the capital of Yuzhou, under the guise of revenge for General Long.
This sounds a bit magical.
It is conceivable that King Jing wants to rebel, mobilize the army, and corrupt the place.
Chu Qianqiu was even waiting for him to take action and let him gather his enemies, including the Daxia elites mentioned by Princess Wushuang.
As long as he moved his hands, Chu Qianqiu could wipe out waves of groups, but the banner King Jing put out still made Chu Qianqiu feel incredible.
"Is this serious? Is it a joke?"
Chu Qianqiu looked at his personal guards suspiciously, and Yang Guang said quickly:
"It's absolutely true, it's the news from General Liu."
Chu Qianqiu succeeded to the position of general of the Shence Army. Naturally, Liu Dutong would no longer refuse the responsibility of the general of the Shenwei Army. He quickly agreed to the imperial court's promotion, leaving the long-vacant general position of the Shenwei Army.
Got the whereabouts.
The father and son, each a great general, could be said to control half of the sky of the Shenwu Dynasty. The two of them joined forces and directly covered the sky with one hand, causing Duke Xu to retreat.
"A message from my adoptive father?"
Chu Qianqiu also found it strange that the news about his adoptive father this time was three times faster than that of Buddhism and the imperial court.
"Yes, General Liu said that an old acquaintance from the Zhenbei Army summoned him in advance."
"It is said that the Zhenbei Army found General Long's posthumous son and elected him as the leader of the Zhenbei Army. They want to get an explanation for General Long."
The more Yang Guang talked, the weirder he became, and he became a little emotionally overwhelmed.
General Long did not leave any heirs. Even if he had heirs, the Zhenbei Army would rebel because of this?
The Shenwei Army may not even be willing.
In the past, Liu Dutong was planning to instigate the two armies into rebellion, and also planned to create a martial arts lecture incident to frame the imperial court.
The greater reason for the Shenwei Army's rebellion was that the two sides were unable to achieve reasonable mutual trust. These situations did not exist in the Zhenbei Army.
Chu Qianqiu first resurrected King Jing and controlled King Jing's zombies, then destroyed King Jing's reputation and prepared to clean up his prestige in Yuzhou.
Unexpectedly, he changed the track.
Instead of inciting rebellion in his own name, he also introduced the orphan of General Long, just like the orphan of the Zhao family.
Could it be that he got inspiration from the story of "Xiang Bei"?
"This King Jing's method is like buying bowls in a pottery shop, one by one."
Chu Qianqiu couldn't help laughing.
King Jing's own reputation was not good, so he borrowed the reputation of General Long to rebel.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Yang Guang was also a little at a loss. They came to Yuzhou to suppress bandits. They were searching for the whereabouts of black bandits under the guise of searching for the whereabouts of black bandits. Now they have turned to suppressing rebellion, and the situation has become different.
"Of course we are going to suppress the rebellion."
"Why don't you want military glory that comes to you for free?"
"Let the soldiers be prepared to march into Yanyu City at any time."
"This time we are going to kill a big bandit."
Chu Qianqiu replied casually, is he afraid of King Jing's rebellion?
Of course you are not afraid.
"Yes, General!" Yang Guang also looked a little excited.
They are too eager to establish military glory.
Since the war with Daxia thirteen years ago, there have been occasional border frictions between the two countries, but large-scale battles no longer exist.
Another generation has passed, and the new generation is less and less afraid of war. In their view, war is sweet.
There are plenty of bonuses to be had.
Just like the soldiers of the Shenwu Army, they grew up listening to the stories of their predecessors getting rich.
How to make a fortune, just by earning a little money?
At most it's enough to eat.
Only by going into battle to kill the enemy, or even slaughter the city, can you truly become the master.
"Xiaoyang, don't leave in a hurry yet."
"You have to tell the soldiers that the Shence Army must be the same as the Shenwei Army. No looting or massacre is allowed."
Chu Qianqiu didn't want to go to Yanyu City and make a big news.
"Sir, the soldiers of the Shence Army may be a little dissatisfied with this."
"We have no problem. I believe the general will not treat us badly."
"But some soldiers may have some concerns."
Yang Guang said hesitantly.
Robbery is one of the rights of soldiers, just like a natural human right.
It is impossible for soldiers to sacrifice their lives with only a little salary.
Soldiers are not fools. Sometimes the mortality rate in battles is astonishingly high. Just a trip to the battlefield, the sword energy of an innate master, and the mental coercion of a martial arts master, may kill you at any time.
What supports soldiers to fight to the death, 50% is military law, and 50% is glory and wealth.
In his previous life, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty allowed the enemy to surrender and not plunder, but Li Shiji dared to lead his soldiers to reason with Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. He clearly agreed to plunder, and everything in the city belongs to us. How could you go back on your promise?
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was indeed a hero. He gave in on the spot and immediately said that he would use his own money to make up for everyone's losses, and the matter would be over. (Note 1)
In the past, the Shenwei Army did not massacre cities or plunder, but it was not because of their high level of ideological education. Every household in the Yangtze River could smuggle soldiers and horses for money. How could this quality be higher than that of the Shence Army?
The core reason is that General Long promised to spend his own money to make up for the losses caused by the soldiers not looting, so the soldiers can maintain high quality.
If you want benevolence and righteousness, you have to pay.
For the military, benevolence and righteousness are the most precious things.
In order to ensure the benevolence and righteousness of the soldiers, General Long did not have more resources to build his own family, so after his death, the Long family disappeared before it was established.
If you don't want benevolence and righteousness, it will be very satisfying. If you conquer a city, you will have all your wealth.
You don't need to pay for the soldiers, the enemy will pay them.
This is why throughout the dynasties and in all countries around the world, there are very few armies that truly respect benevolence and righteousness.
For the soldiers of the Shence Army, this Yuzhou is not their hometown, so it would be great to be able to take it home after they robbed it.
"Tell the soldiers that I will follow General Long's old example."
"If there is a hard battle and there is no looting, I will make up for it."
Chu Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
The soldiers' request for plunder is also related to the difficulty of the battle. If the battle is easy, the military salary can cover the losses, and the soldiers will not have any objection.
But if the fighting is very difficult and there are heavy casualties, then a request for plunder will be made.
Chu Qianqiu can be sure that relying on his circulation ability, he can fight the Zhenbei Army head-on.
He can kill the opponent with ten thousand troops without much loss.
But he wanted to make things clear first and set the rules.
I can pay for it, but you must keep the rules.
There is no way, you can be a good person if you have a golden finger.
"Yes, General."
"Wait a minute, who is the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army now?"
Chu Qianqiu only remembered that these were all miscellaneous fish troops.
"It was originally the elder of the Cui family, Cui Beiwang, but now he is replaced by the former Wanhu Jingming."
"According to the news, Cui Beiwang was imprisoned because he opposed the Qing emperor."
Yang Guang said quickly.
The real prominent family in Yuzhou is not the Liu family that does business, but the Cui family.
The Cui family originally held a considerable position in the Zhenbei Army. Although the Zhenbei Army was weak and had hundreds of thousands of capable warriors, the Cui family had always held the position of unified capital.
This time, the Cui family's generals objected, and King Jing probably assisted in defeating them.
"Jingming?"
"Could he be the father of Jing Yulong, Minister of the Ministry of War?"
Chu Qianqiu seemed to have some impression of this name.
"Yes, General."
It seems to be a father-son game.
King Jing has shown his trump card, and we have to respond to him properly.
