Three miles outside Guangqumen, the former Shenji Battalion of the Fifth Army was stationed, and the Jinzhou soldiers were temporarily stationed.
After coming out of the palace, people from the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Commander's Office came to guide Shi Dayong and his troops to temporarily station outside Guangqumen.
That night, everyone in Jinzhou rested at the Shenji Camp. They all thought that the court would arrange a prisoner presentation ceremony and hold a reward ceremony the next day, so they had to look forward to it. However, the next day, there was no movement at the three poles.
Everyone in Jinzhou was puzzled, but they did not dare to go out of the military camp without receiving the holy order. Shi Dayong had no choice but to send people into the city to ask relevant officials of the Ministry of War, but the answer he received was that the cabinet was still deliberation.
Discussing? What else are you discussing? Could it be that the heads of slaves that you all sent all the way are still fake? [
All the generals were impatient and felt that it was really chilling that the imperial court was so neglectful of meritorious people. The impatient ones, such as Li Dashan, a former bandit, and others began to make strange remarks, saying that maybe the adults in the court were thinking about deducting a few percent of the regular salary.
?The adults can’t tell the difference, so there is no result yet
After listening to a few words, Shi Dayong couldn't stand it anymore. He scolded Li Dashan for being presumptuous. He turned cold and issued a strict order: no one was allowed to talk about the imperial court without permission. Violators would be severely punished.
After this strict order, the generals no longer dared to complain and stayed in the camp to wait for arrangements in the capital.
Yesterday, the heads of the slaves piled up outside Zhengyang Gate were collected by Shuntian Prefecture. However, the more than 100 captives were still detained in the Jinzhou Army. The four captives were captured after Shi Dayong entered the palace to see the emperor.
Ding Zongdao asked people to open the jar, originally looking for a doctor to treat him, but seeing the miserable condition of the person, even if he could save the person, it would be useless. Life would be worse than death, so it would be better to give him a happy life and solve the problem with a knife.
Shao Wu did not dare to disobey the order, so Ding Zongdao asked Shuntian Prefecture to find four executioners to carry out the execution. The executioners raised their swords and dropped their heads. The heads of the pigs fell to the ground on the spot, and were later collected together with the heads of the slaves.
Since there was no clear order on how to deal with the remaining prisoners, Ding Zongdao did not dare to take charge, so he asked the Jinzhou Army to keep a close watch on him and wait until he reported to the court officials before making a decision.
Shao Wu naturally objected. After Shi Dayong came back from the palace, he was still immersed in the excitement of meeting Tianyan, so he naturally didn't care about these small things.
As no one from the capital was seen for a long time, his subordinates were anxious and complained. Shi Dayong was also secretly puzzled. However, as a general, no matter how confused he was, it was inconvenient to show it in front of his subordinates. He could only pretend to be calm and bring Guo Yi with him from time to time.
Take a tour of the camp.
This time, only two hundred Tiefutu cavalry composed of veterans from Songshan and five hundred infantry composed of Changping disciples followed Shi Dayong to Beijing. Among the generals, except Huang An, Ma Zhong, Wu Tieshan and others stayed in Jinzhou, the rest
Bring them to the capital. After all, it is a great thing to bring prisoners to the capital. There is no harm in bringing more subordinates to see the world. If Jinzhou was not empty and there were really soldiers, Shi Dayong would have wanted to recruit all his direct descendants.
Just come to the capital for a visit.
After patrolling the camp again, I saw that the Jiannu herdsmen were dying. After questioning them, I learned that they had not been given water for two days.
Nowadays, these shepherds are no longer under his control in Jinzhou. They are only under temporary custody and will be handed over later. However, it would be a bit unsightly if the court arranged a prisoner presentation ceremony and a few died of thirst.
Thinking of this, Shi Dayong asked the soldiers to bring them water for them to drink. After watching for a while, he told the soldiers not to let them die, and then he was ready to return to the account. At this time, soldiers came to the camp gate to report that it was
There are people coming from the city.
Finally here!
Shi Dayong was overjoyed and hurriedly ran towards the camp gate. Guo Yi followed behind, shouting all the way, which suddenly alarmed the whole camp.
When they arrived at the gate of the camp, they saw only two royal guards in mandarin duck and fish coats, and no other officials.
Shi Dayong was so surprised that he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I wonder what the two envoys are doing here?"
The leader of the Jinyi Guards was no more than a sixth-grade captain. In front of Shi Dayong, a third-grade general who had made great achievements, he naturally did not dare to be arrogant and said with a smile: "I have been ordered by the prince of the inner court to come and stand in front.
The prince will come with the imperial edict later."[
"Eunuch Wang?"
Shi Dayong was startled: Which prince?
When the Jin Yiwei saw this, he knew that he didn't know, so he hurriedly said: "That's Mr. Wang Cheng'en, the Supervisor of Ceremonies."
It turned out to be him!
Shi Dayong nodded slightly. He had seen Wang Chengen when he was on the platform yesterday. He knew that this eunuch would accompany Emperor Zhuang Lie to hang himself on Meishan Mountain in the future. He was a loyal person through the ages, so he naturally respected him. Furthermore, this Wang Chengen was an old man who lived in Chongzhen.
, the eunuch who paid homage to Li Bingbi was a popular figure in front of the emperor. His words were worth thousands of words, he was a real big shot.
When such a person comes in person, Shi Dayong dares to neglect him and wonders how to welcome him.
He didn't dare to regard Wang Cheng'en as an ordinary eunuch and give him some money to deal with the problem, because if he became a eunuch to Wang Cheng'en's level, even if he took all of Shi Dayong's property, the king's father-in-law would not look down upon him.
After thinking about it, he simply decided to do the official business. When Wang Chengen arrived, he personally led the generals out of the camp to greet him, and then ordered his soldiers to blow bugles, and asked the soldiers to line up in the camp to welcome each other, making it more grand.
Just show that you value him. Don't do anything else.
After all, Wang Chengen is also a loyal person, so he shouldn't blame him for being rude, Shi Dayong thought.
If it was as the two Jinyi guards said, not long after, a team of Jinyi guards came from the palace on horseback. Behind the horse team was a large sedan chair. The bearers were walking as fast as flying. Each one of them was tall and large. At a glance, he knew that they were soldiers from the Beijing camp.
.
Shi Dayong hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and shouted from a distance: "General Shi Dayong is here to see the king!"
The generals also knelt down with him. Cao Bianjiao, Li Dashan and others were dissatisfied with kneeling before an eunuch, but Shi Dayong knelt down, so they had no choice but to kneel down.
The royal guards on horseback dismounted one after another, and the sedan bearers also stopped walking. As soon as the sedan fell, the curtain was lifted. Wang Chengen, who was smiling, got down from the sedan. Before he could stand still, he stretched out his hand, trying to help Shi Dayong up.
.
"General, please get up quickly, please get up quickly, our family is no more than the emperor's servant, how dare we be treated as a general's gift!"
As Wang Chengen spoke, he helped Shi Dayong up without any explanation. Shi Dayong was not too polite, and made a speech to Wang Chengen, then turned sideways and pointed toward the camp: "Father, please!"
"General, please!" Wang Chengen smiled, nodded, and walked forward first.
Over there, General Guo Yi waved his flag, and immediately, the seven hundred sergeants who had finished lining up in the camp let out a loud shout: "Welcome our father-in-law!" The sound shook the sky.
"Hehe, okay, okay."
Wang Chengen let out a hearty laugh, and was extremely satisfied with the Jinzhou soldiers. His eyes swept over the crowd one by one, and he secretly praised in his heart: It is a strong army that has rebuilt the slaves, but its spirit is not comparable to that of the Taiping soldiers in the Beijing camp.
The crowd passed by the sergeant all the way to the big tent.
As soon as they entered the tent, before Shi Dayong and the others could speak, Wang Chengen suddenly turned around and shouted: "Important!"
"I'll take the order!" Shi Dayong knelt down with his subordinates and buried their heads.[
After everyone knelt down, Wang Chengen shouted: "Zidenlai's rebel general Kong Youde is causing rebellion in Hebei and Shandong, and Jinzhou's general Shi Dayong will lead his troops to suppress them today."
