The main two parties in the quarrel were Jiang Wanli and Cao Bianjiao, and the reason for the quarrel was actually the word "food".
Jiang Wanli and Song Qing had discussed that since he wanted to eat human flesh, it was better to give it a go and send out elite cavalry to intercept the rebels transporting grain from Dengzhou to Laizhou. As long as they could intercept the grain, the morale of the army would be stable and they would not be interested again.
Eat that human flesh. His proposal was approved by Lin Junyi, Guo Cheng, Wang Fei and other generals, and they all agreed.
Cao Bianjiao, on the other hand, went to intercept grain with the opposition soldiers. Firstly, he did not know when the Dengzhou rebels would transport grain to Laizhou. If they failed, they would miss the plan of advancing eastward to Dengzhou. Secondly, he wanted to successfully capture Dengzhou. If so,
If they send people to intercept grain, the rebels in Denglai and Denglai must know that there is a problem in the rear. Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng are both strong generals of the Liao army and know how to use troops. They will never allow the Jinzhou Army to haunt the heart of Denglai. That is
If the rebels from the Laizhou direction do not come to suppress the attack, it can be expected that when the Jinzhou army arrives at the gate of Dengzhou City, the gate of Dengzhou City will be tightly closed!
The Jinzhou Army did not carry any siege equipment. No matter how powerful the Wolf Cavalry was, no matter how capable the Jinzhou Army was in fighting, they would be helpless in the face of a fortified city. By then, there would be Dengzhou rebels in front of them and Laizhou rebels in the back.
Without food, the Jinzhou Army was immediately in a desperate situation, fearing that the emperor's army, which had more than 4,000 troops, would be completely wiped out in Denglai.
As long as there is a dispute, there will be supporters. Those who support Cao Bianjiao include Li Dashan, Li Gu, the baggage battalion officer Qi Sanbao, and the surrendered general Wang Tiande who is currently in charge of the left camp of the infantry. What are the consequences of supporting General Cao? What do they think?
He knew it well, but no one wavered.[
"Man is not as good as God. Who of you can guarantee that you will be able to get food here? And who can guarantee that the news will not leak out! If we cannot win Dengzhou, we will be traitors and traitors. It will not be a pity to be cut into pieces with a thousand swords!" Almost!
After shouting these words, Xiao Cao's face turned red. He could never accept becoming a traitor in the eyes of the court and the world!
Dengzhou, I must win Dengzhou, I want nothing but Dengzhou!
Cao Bianjiao did not agree to send troops to intercept the grain, so the wolf cavalry army could not move. Without the wolf cavalry, the matter of intercepting the grain had to be discussed. This was a matter of one or two hundred miles back and forth, and it could only be done by the cavalry.
Jiang Wanlin shook his head reluctantly, still unwilling to accept it, and asked Cao Bianjiao: "Is Xiao Cao willing to eat the flesh of a living person? Your Cao family has been a general for generations, are you really willing to do such an evil thing to humiliate your ancestors?
"
When he mentioned his family, Cao Bianjiao suddenly turned pale, but in an instant he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "The matter has come to this, if you don't want to do it, you have to do it! A man, you should be flexible, how can a living person be suffocated to death! On the day of my ancestor's birthday in Daling
Are there fewer people eating in the river? Compared with him, Xiao Cao and I can eat with peace of mind! But to relieve your father's worries, Xiao Cao can massacre thousands of cities and kill hundreds of millions of people without even frowning.
!”
After saying that, he turned around and pointed outside the tent, "None of those gangs of thieves and prisoners have committed many evil deeds. They have stained their hands with the blood of our Ming people. They have destroyed countless families. Today, if not for the people of Denglai, they are for the camp."
Those women and children among them, Xiao Cao, I should eat them alive too!"
After hearing these words, Wang Tiande, who had been sitting in the corner, stood up without hesitation and shouted: "What General Cao said is right! Taking Dengzhou is a big deal, and the rest are insignificant!"
Qi Sanbao maintained his identity and did not dare to speak out, but he also echoed: "The top priority right now is to capture Dengzhou, otherwise how can we clear our name? The success of this grain harvest is not big. If it fails, our whereabouts will be revealed."
"
Cao Bianjiao said nothing. He had never been so excited before. He stood there, clenching his fists tightly, and his young face was flushed.
Seeing him gnashing his teeth, Jiang Wanli and Song Qing looked at each other, Lin Junyi, Guo Cheng, Wang Fei and others felt a chill in their hearts: For the sake of righteousness, could he really do something worse than an animal?! Is that human flesh really serious?
Can you eat it?!
For a moment, no one in the tent could say anything. Only the two torches flickered on and off in the breeze.
Outside the tent, there were stars, a crescent moon dotted the sky, and clouds drifted by from time to time, making the night never brighter for a moment.
"I was wasting my time by arguing here. Everyone dispersed and went back to camp. I will take care of this matter. I will kill a hundred people tomorrow, wash them and cook them!"
As soon as Li Dashan's fierce light appeared, he couldn't bear to say more here, so he rushed out of the tent, but saw dozens of Jinzhou veterans pouring into the tent.
These veteran soldiers are all assigned to the guard camp and the left and right infantry battalions as officers. If they are not in their respective camps at the moment, what are they doing in the big tent?
All the generals in the tent were puzzled. Jiang Wanli was the first to look down, and asked first, "If you don't stay in the camp, what are you doing here?"
Song Qing's mind was spinning fast, and suddenly he was excited. He subconsciously pressed his hand on the handle of the knife and shouted angrily: "You have left your post without permission without receiving the military order, but you regard military law as child's play!"
Hearing what he said, Li Dashan, Cao Bianjiao and the others suddenly woke up. Could it be that the shortage of food and the ambush of the Beijing camp in Shang County had aroused the dissatisfaction of these old soldiers and came to the big tent to cause trouble?
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China by Taizu, there have been countless mutinies in the army due to lack of food. The most recent and most serious incident was the Liao soldiers' pay dispute, which caused the governor of Liaodong Bi Ziyan to commit suicide on a hunger strike. This incident had a great impact.
The extent of the impact is unprecedented since the emperor came to the throne and has never been seen before.[
Jiang Wanli, Song Qing and others were all soldiers of the Liao Dynasty. When the Liao soldiers were fighting for pay, Jiang Wanli and Song Qing were all under the command of Wu Jinglue Mangui. They were also deeply impressed by this incident. It was so surprising to see so many veteran soldiers.
Entering the big tent, I naturally thought of the pay quarrel back then, and my face was not gloomy, but ferocious and terrifying. If these old soldiers really came here for the purpose of running out of food, they would have taken advantage of them first and killed several of them.
This chaos can be suppressed without any hesitation, otherwise the whole army will be moved, and the Jinzhou Army will be completely finished.
Cao Bianjiao was born as a general, so he was not surprised by the chaos caused by the soldiers. At that moment, he secretly encouraged himself and looked at Jiang Wanli and others. As soon as the situation was not right, he would strike first.
Unexpectedly, the few veterans who entered the tent first bowed respectfully, and then an old soldier who served as a team officer in the left battalion of the infantry raised his voice: "To answer your words, sir, we are here to march on the order of the general."
It’s not like you left your post without permission!”
Coming under the general's order? All the generals were startled and looked at each other in confusion, but no one knew what was going on.
Just as he was doubting, there was a noise outside the tent. The old soldiers gathered in front of the tent consciously separated to make way, but it was Shi Dayong who led a group of personal guards.
As Dayong walked into the tent, he nodded to the old troops on both sides. Most of these old subordinates were from Songshan, and they are also the essence of the Jinzhou Army. They are now serving as army officers in each battalion. With them, the Jinzhou Army's airs will not be strong.
It can't be broken. After a little grinding, the Jinzhou Army is still a strong army. I only regret that I can, but lead them on such an unbearable path and ask them to do such a thing!
