Chapter 520: Daling River City must be built

Not long after Genius dawned, a messenger from Shanhaiguan just entered Jinzhou City.

It didn't take long for the sound of the gathering drums in the Liaodong Governor's Mansion to spread throughout the city.

As long as it is not the alarm bell of Jianlu's attack, the people in Jinzhou City will do whatever they are supposed to do, and they will not be more concerned about it. Because they do not have the leisure of the people in the mainland, every day of their lives is very important to them.

valuable.

After all the generals had arrived, Yuan Keli, the governor of Liaodong, came out of Houya.

After the ceremony, Yuan Keli didn't waste any time and directly took out a letter and said: "The letter from Mr. Sun Ge is related to Guan Ning's future, so I summoned the generals to announce this matter."

Many generals in the hall were surprised when they heard this. What could be so important, it was related to Ning Jin's future.

They looked at each other and found that each other was confused and looking for a solution. They had no choice but to focus on Yuan Keli and listen to his announcement.

Yuan Keli did not sit down on his seat, but stood behind the desk, supporting the desk with one hand, holding up the letter in his hand with the other, and announced in a stern voice: "A few days ago, Mr. Sun Ge sent a memorial to the court, asking for the reconstruction of Daling."

Hecheng. But it took many days for the capital to get a reply. We, Guan Ning, would have to prove our ability to fight in the field before we would allocate funds."

These senior generals all know about the construction of Dalinghe City, and they also welcome this move.

Because once Dalinghe City is built, the front line will move forward, and a large number of fields behind will be cultivated. It will be beneficial to each of them.

Even if Jianlu invades and destroys it in the future, there will be some harvest. After Jianlu is gone, they can plant something. As for whether the effort and reward are out of proportion, it is not their concern.

But now the reply from the capital was that they did not allocate money immediately, but asked them to prove themselves before they would pay.

This reply made these generals who were always getting paid get angry. I think back then, under Governor Yuan, their treatment was the best in the Ming army. Not only was the salary high, but it was not in arrears. What do you want?

Just speak up.

Now Mr. Sun Ge is so incompetent that he can't even get the treatment his student Governor Yuan had fought for before!

Many generals immediately criticized the court for being unsympathetic and unjust, and some said that Sun Chengzong was incompetent. There were even a few generals who were uneducated and scolded them so rudely that Yuan Keli could not wait any longer for them to vent their anger.

He suddenly slapped the table and made a loud "snap", which shocked the generals in the hall, and they all stopped and looked at him.

"Do you want to rebel? Dare you speak rudely to Mr. Sun Ge and the imperial court?" Yuan Keli shouted coldly, his face as heavy as water.

These generals were just talking, but they really didn't dare to rebel. When they saw Yuan Keli getting angry, they all kept silent and didn't dare to talk back.

Only Zu Dashou, the oldest and most senior commander in chief of the Liaodong army, came forward, raised his fists and saluted Yuan Keli and said: "Zhongcheng, don't blame me. They are just speaking out of righteous indignation. I will sacrifice my life in Liaodong."

, to defend the imperial court against the brave and invincible Jianlu, but the imperial court was so unfair to us..."

As Zu Dashou was talking, he found that Yuan Keli's eyes were staring straight at him, all the way into his heart. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and his voice became lower and lower, and finally stopped.

Yuan Keli has built up a lot of prestige these days in Jinzhou. Even Zu Dashou would not dare to say irrelevant things in front of him.

"Zhongcheng, I think the imperial court's reply is not unreasonable. If Dalinghe City cannot be defended well and the built captives are allowed to bypass the city, it would be better not to build it than not to build it. It will be a waste of manpower and material resources, and the gain will not be worth the loss."

When people in the lobby heard that someone actually said such words, they couldn't help but look over and found out that it was Deputy Commander-in-Chief He Kegang.

Yuan Keli looked at He Kegang and nodded, secretly thinking that he was indeed a general that the court believed he could rely on.

Seeing this, several other generals who had taken refuge with Yuan Keli also spoke out in agreement with He Kegang's words. This made those generals who were with Zu Dashou grit their teeth with hatred, when did Jinzhou become so disunited?

The atmosphere in the lobby immediately changed from one-sided criticism of the imperial court to two factions of views, giving Yuan Keli a basis for speaking.

Because if all the generals objected, it would be difficult for Yuan Keli to deal with it.

"After I came to Liaodong, or even before I arrived in Liaodong, I never saw or heard of anyone risking their lives to kill the enemy. All I saw and heard was that they were huddled in the city, relying on the imperial court.

The strong city and the artillery provided are just for defense. To say that Jianlu is brave and invincible, who can tell me who fulfilled the reputation of Jianlu?"

Yuan Keli's words hit the hearts of these senior generals, especially Zu Dashou, who felt that these words were in reference to what he just said. His face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and he wanted to have an attack but couldn't, so he had to

Hold it in yourself.

Yuan Keli glanced at them, and naturally noticed Zu Dashou's expression. He didn't care, and continued: "Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is the duty of a minister. If anyone dares to make any noise in the future, I know you, and the court rules

The law does not recognize people. Unless they want to rebel, or want to treason and surrender to the enemy."

No general dared to speak out against it, otherwise Yuan Keli would kill him on the spot, and he would only be charged with disloyalty.

"I pretend that I didn't hear what happened just now. For the sake of Guan Ning's future, the imperial court's request must be fulfilled. There is no room for negotiation." After Yuan Keli said this, he spoke categorically, showing his decision.

Not negotiable.

"Of course, if any of you are dissatisfied and want to join the Jianlu, I won't stop you. I just want to advise you to be careful when choosing. Don't make mistakes for your children and grandchildren. You will be sorry for your ancestors." Yuan Keli spoke with full of emotion.

Confidence made the generals present feel that those who wanted to join Jianlu were fools.

After such a long period of adjustment, Zu Dashou's complexion has slowly returned to normal. After all, he is also a general and has his own abilities.

He first clasped his fists and said to Yuan Keli: "Zhongcheng is right. As long as Zhongcheng gives an order, the general will definitely obey his orders."

The position changed very quickly, Yuan Keli said secretly. He knew that if Daling River City was built, the ancestral family would benefit the most.

However, he did not show his disdain for Zu Dashou, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, Ben Zhongcheng is relieved about General Zu."

Upon seeing this, the other generals recognized the general trend and expressed their stance to Yuan Keli that they would abide by military orders.

Yuan Keli nodded and then announced: "Daling River City must be built, and the imperial court did not disagree. But I know that there is a gap between our army and Jianlu's field combat capabilities. But at least we must ask the imperial court

It shows that our army has the determination and ability to fight Jianlu in the wild. Therefore, Ben Zhongcheng decided..."

As soon as the generals heard this, there was a "crash" sound of armor, and they all came out to face Yuan Keli, clasping their fists and obeying the order.

"Each ministry sent out a large group that stayed awake all night to scout the movements of the Jianlu in the east, trying to defeat more and less of the Jianlu, and harvest some of the heads of the Jianlu to report to the court."

After Yuan Keli's order, the hall rang in unison: "Yes!"

These generals knew that only in this way would the imperial court continue to trust Guan Ning's army. It would be beneficial to them all. It was a small-scale war, so even if it failed, it would not have much impact.

Therefore, they all responded positively to Yuan Keli's order.
