When it was just dawn, the soldiers in the New Army camp in Xiyuan were still sleeping.
Yuzhu galloped to the gate of the military camp and saw Zhang Qin, the battalion commander on duty, who had been leading his subordinates to stand in silence for a long time.
"Salute to the handsome man!" Zhang Qin had tears in his eyes, as if he had met his biological father, and his back was straight.
The soldiers guarding the gate saluted with guns one after another, staring at Yuzhu without blinking.
Yuzhu slowly reined in his horse, lowered his head deliberately and asked Zhang Qin: "How can we let outsiders in if the military camp is such an important place?"
Zhang Qin grinned and whispered: "Commander, you once ordered me to raise the commander's flag and enter the camp one day, which is when I was ordered to take charge of the new army. The commander is incompetent, but his memory is not bad.
"
Yuzhu smiled slightly and asked Zhang Qin: "Is it necessary to verify the decree?"
Zhang Qin suddenly put his legs together, and with a bang of his riding boots, he stood at attention and said sternly, "Commander comes in person, and he must obey the emperor's orders. Anyone who dares to ask more questions will be punished on the spot." His attitude was extremely firm.
.
Yuzhu smiled with satisfaction. This boy is really sensible, not pretending to be sensible. However, his attitude is very correct and he is a good young man!
What is direct lineage?
Not caring about right and wrong, just obeying Yuzhu's orders, this is a close friend.
Yuzhu entered the military camp quietly. When the officers and soldiers at the checkpoints along the way saw that Yuzhu himself was back, they all jumped for joy and took the initiative to let him go.
As a result, Yuzhu led his troops and marched straight into the Chinese army camp without any hindrance.
Yuzhu sat majestically on the handsome chair covered with tiger skin, looking down at the empty playground outside the camp gate.
Hey, this feeling is much better than sitting in the main hall of any yamen.
I remember that back then, Guo Queer (Guo Wei, the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty), who was born as a rough military man, once jumped on his horse on the city wall of Kaifeng, looked down at the land of the Central Plains, and said with emotion: The emperor is the one with strong soldiers and horses!
Yuzhu feels the same way!
It was the time when Kangxi was in his twilight years. The central court, the prime minister, and the governor were all illusory. Only the military power in the palm of his hand was the real hard power.
In the late Qing Dynasty in history, the Manchu court could not get the military morale of the new armies in the north and south, so it lost its territory.
Returning to his old place and regaining control of his old department, Yuzhu couldn't help but have ups and downs in his heart, his thoughts kept coming, and he even got distracted.
Niu Tai, who was on the side, did not dare to disturb him, but just guarded him silently.
Yuzhu was indeed ruthless, and he did what he told the old emperor not to seek political power if he was not in his position.
After being transferred from the New Army, Yuzhu really never cared about the affairs of the New Army and allowed his successor to mess around.
The old emperor could not be a saint, but he was a qualified emperor.
If Yuzhu frequently intervenes in the affairs of the new army, he will definitely arouse the suspicion of the old emperor.
Think about it, when Cao Meng Dejian was alive, even if he borrowed Sima Zhongda's 800 courage, he would not dare to secretly accumulate three thousand dead men.
After Cao Pi and Cao Rui were killed and the idiot Cao Shuang came to power, Sima Zhongda's ambition suddenly expanded, so he asked his eldest son Sima Shi to make secret preparations.
The same story has been repeated many times in history.
For example, when Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was still alive, he tested Yang Jian several times.
Yang Jian knew that he was in a dangerous situation, but he did not dare to rebel. He could only choose to endure it.
The reason is actually very simple. With the strength Yang Jian had at the time, he would be defeated if he raised an army.
After Yuzhu thought about the past and the present, it was already bright, and the morning training had not yet started in the New Army camp. He couldn't help but frown.
In the past, when Yuzhu was in charge of the New Army, it was commonplace to train three times a day and go on a ten-mile armed cross-country trip once a day.
Alas, too lazy!
"Pass my order, blow the trumpet, and assemble!" Yuzhu was dissatisfied, and his tone of voice was not good.
"嗻."
br>
Ten buglers stood on both sides in front of the big tent door with their heads held high, their cheeks puffed up, and they blew the assembly horn with all their strength.
"Didi-didi-didi-didi..."
"Yes, it's such a familiar assembly number!"
"Yeah, I'm afraid the old handsome guy is back again."
"Oh my god, I finally waited for the handsome man!"
"Get up, get together, get together!"
"Emergency gathering!"
Accompanied by the loud sound of the military bugle, the entire New Army camp began to move.
Although they had been slacking off for many days, the basic military literacy was still there. According to the military regulations for gathering in the past, the soldiers got out of the camp one after another with their guns in hand and gathered on the large playground.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of dense footsteps resounded throughout the entire camp almost in the blink of an eye.
"stand at attention."
"Look to the right!"
"Count!"
After everyone gathered together, Yuzhu glanced at the pocket watch in his hand, his brows furrowed deeply, and he felt seriously dissatisfied.
Damn it, it's too slow. It took a quarter and a half for just a few thousand people to gather.
If it were before, hehe, all the officers would have to eat military sticks.
However, Yuzhu also understood the reason why the new army was slacking off.
As the saying goes, every master has his own Dharma, and every monk has his own scriptures.
Since Yuzhu was transferred, the military regulations of the new army have been changed beyond recognition.
There was no way around it. It was the norm in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty that people left to enjoy the coolness of tea and people to take a rest from politics.
When new officials want to highlight their authority and create new dramas, they naturally want to negate the achievements of old officials.
Any thorns that disobey instructions will be pulled out by all possible means.
Although the army has been assembled, because the overall star officer has been removed, no one came to report the specific situation of the assembly to Yuzhu.
This creates an awkward disconnect.
Yuzhu sighed again, and was about to issue an order when he suddenly heard someone yelling: "You are so brave, who gave the order? Don't give up your head?"
Haha, Yuzhu is riding on a tall horse, someone behind him is holding a flag, and there are soldiers standing in front and behind the big tent.
You can't even see this, it's obviously a deliberate attempt to cause trouble.
Yuzhu didn't speak, but raised his chin high.
Niu Tai then shouted loudly: "The emperor has a decree, and Fei Yanggu, the commander of Yongrui Camp, kneels down to accept it." He deliberately raised his arrogant and rough voice, which was deafening.
Yuzhu's temper is that if someone offends me, I will offend him!
If Fei Yanggu had a peaceful handover, Yuzhu would definitely give him some face and let him leave in glory. He might even be able to make a small fortune.
Since Fei Yanggu wants to find fault, don't blame Yuzhu for being rude and must slap him in public.
If Fei Yanggu hadn't drunk too much last night, he wouldn't have had the guts to offend Yu Zhu.
However, in the army, not in the court, the authority of Yuzhu must not be challenged.
Even if it is a misunderstanding, it must be punished.
How can you control the army if you are kind-hearted and soft-handed?
Yuzhu was very patient, deliberately waiting for Fei Yanggu to kneel down in front of the horse, and then slowly unfolded Huang Chengcheng's will.
"Fei Yanggu, the commander of the Yongrui Battalion, embezzled military pay, misappropriated military rations, and used inferior materials as superior materials... hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment and punish him severely!" Yuzhu read slowly on purpose, just to torment Fei Yanggu.
"Your Majesty, this servant has been wronged..." Fei Yang's face turned pale and he began to cry out.
I know I was wrong, it’s too late!
Fei Yanggu was a red belt after all, and the old emperor once told Yuzhu to leave as much room as possible to save face.
It's a pity that Fei Yanggu is too ignorant, and Yuzhu can't do anything about it!
