Walking on the Yellow River Suspension Bridge, you can see the surging Yellow River water at your feet. In summer, the Yellow River water is like a turbid mud soup. The waves carry a strong earthy smell and send the water mist up to the suspension bridge. The sound of such a majestic river is still...
There were bursts of sobbing, and he didn't know who he was mourning for.
There are many boats on the Yellow River flying down the river like arrows. In a hurry, the only impression left by the whole boat is the dark-skinned boatman and the tall mast. Boating on the Yellow River is dangerous, but boating on the Yellow River is the most courageous.
The domain of men.
The suspension bridge under his feet was swayed wildly by the strong wind. Yun Zheng, who had traveled all over the mountains and rivers in his early years, was no stranger to this scene, so walking on the suspension bridge was still a bit indifferent, and Li Chang was in the army.
Surrounded by people, they crossed the suspension bridge crying and howling, and kept talking about why they had to come here and suffer this fate.
Even more calm than Yun Zheng were the imperial couriers. They rode horses and ran wildly on the suspension bridge. Those horses seemed to be not used to anything, and they were able to exert force with the ups and downs of the suspension bridge.
In a short period of time, no less than twenty express couriers passed by Yun Zheng. Judging from the direction they were running, they were running on the south, north and south roads of Beijing.
The military areas under Yunzheng's nominal jurisdiction are on these two roads, Jinzhou, Fangzhou, Suizhou, Xiangzhou, Caizhou, Junzhou, Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Yingzhou, Chenzhou, Ruzhou, Mengzhou, and Shangzhou
, Zhengzhou, is for the fifteenth army.
On weekdays, they return to the northwestern and southern roads of Beijing to set up envoys, but only in wartime they return to Yunzheng for dispatch. These fifteen roads are all military prefectures, with two thousand forbidden troops stationed in each prefecture. In wartime, 1,500 people are dispatched.
Five hundred people were left to suppress the place. If Yun Zheng still wanted an army, he could only mobilize it from the Xiang army. Yun Zheng was not very interested in the Forbidden Army. They were all spoiled armies. He had already read the documents
Having seen these forbidden troops, it was not surprising when he saw the lazy appearance of the local troops in Zhengzhou.
Not only them, but the Mengzhou Forbidden Army is the same. It would be fair to say that the army is a little lazy. The strangest thing is that the captains from these two places reached out to ask for the departure fee when they saw Yun Zheng for the first time! They also said that there was no departure.
Fei Dajun couldn't move.
Then, Yun Zheng went on a killing spree without even a warning. The bloody heads of the two well-dressed captains were hung outside the camp gate.
Tan Yuanxing, the prefect of Zhengzhou who originally came to the military camp with the intention of making peace, was dumbfounded. He knew that the Forbidden Army was domineering and wanted to tell them that the overall interests of the imperial court were the most important thing. He received the news from the army in Beijing and understood that this march was different from the past and that there was no reason for the Forbidden Army.
He was acting like an uncle, but before he could say a word, the two domineering captains had already been beheaded.
"Marquis, doing this will trigger a mutiny..." Before he finished speaking, he heard the sergeants outside starting to make a noise, and sweat started to flow down his face.
Yun Zheng calmly invited Tan Yuanxing, who had sent him military supplies and food and grass, to drink tea. Seeing that Tan Yuanxing's hand holding the tea bowl was shaking, he smiled and said: "Brother Tan, don't worry, this is how the army is, brother.
If I couldn't surrender the soldiers, this battle wouldn't have been fought. Besides, I had no intention of using these useless imperial troops in the first place, I just wanted to clean up military discipline a little bit."
Tan Yuanxing took a sip of tea to calm down and said: "Even so, these sergeants are starting to make noise. If it delays the general's schedule, it will be a big deal. His Majesty has issued a strict order and cannot be postponed."
"There can be no delay. The army I need will definitely set off within ten days and arrive at Chencang within a month. Do you think it is possible for these armies to arrive at Jiming Mountain as scheduled?"
"It's always better to have more people. Adding a monkey can also add three points of strength."
"Brother Tan doesn't know something. The soldiers are more sophisticated than numerous. No matter how many sheep there are, they are no match for the lions. Taking them to Qinzhou will only be a waste of food and money. I originally thought I could pick out these people.
Some people are willing to risk their lives to gain a future for themselves. Unfortunately, these people have become soldiers and have long lost the courage to go into battle to kill the enemy..."
As the two of them were talking, they heard the sound of killing outside and the screams of terror. Tan Yuanxing's face changed drastically as he walked out of the handsome tent, his liver and gallbladder bursting. He couldn't believe the scene he saw in front of him.
Yunzheng's personal guards were driving and massacring the Forbidden Soldiers who surrounded the commander's tent with weapons and wanted to ask for an explanation. Although they were all soldiers, the Forbidden Soldiers were no match for the personal soldiers. When they were charged by other people's horses, they scattered and fled.
However, they were overtaken by soldiers on horseback and chopped to death one by one. It was just as Yun Zheng said, there was a difference between a tiger, a leopard and a sheep.
"Those who dare to besiege the commander's tent are committing a capital crime. I don't know why they forgot the military law of the Song Dynasty. Breaking into the White Tiger Festival Hall is a capital crime. This is the first law in the army!
Su Canjun, please write a memorial to His Majesty for me, saying that the Zhengzhou Forbidden Army disobeyed military discipline and besieged the commander's tent without authorization, and I have already punished him!"
After Su Xun responded calmly, he went to the back camp to write a memorial. Only then did Tan Yuanxing understand that Yun Zheng not only wanted to kill these noisy Forbidden Army, but also completely cut off the retreat of these Forbidden Army. The remaining soldiers
The only way out is to be assassinated and sent to the frontier.
Yun Zheng walked in the pile of corpses flying with mosquitoes and flies, looked at the remaining soldiers surrounded by personal soldiers and said loudly: "Who else is prepared to pay for the departure expenses? Who else refuses to obey the command of the superior officer?"
It was quiet all around, and no one answered.
Yun Zheng said again: "I know you are a bunch of wimps without eggs. If you had worked together to attack me just now, I would have respected you as heroes. It's a pity that the war ended just after it started. My robe is dead. I don't know."
I don’t know how to avenge them, but I don’t know how to collect their corpses. The only thing I know is to kneel down and surrender. He’s not even as good as a motherfucker!”
As he spoke, Yun Zheng pointed at the crying and scolding women accompanying the army, and then kicked over a forbidden soldier whose head was about to be stuffed into his crotch out of fear. He hated iron but could not make steel!
"He died in vain. I won't give him a penny. His wife and children deserve to be starved to death. If you follow me to the battlefield, everyone who dies in the battle will be compensated with a hundred catties of copper coins.
Go and ask the brothers who were born in Wu Shengjun, have I ever owed them a copper?
Cai Laoliu, where the hell are you hiding? Liang Ji, this guy was originally your subordinate, right? How come his eggs were cut off after not seeing him for two years?"
Liang Ji glanced at the crowd at the edge with his big eyes and saw his former compatriot. He was so angry that he snatched the spear from the soldier beside him and stabbed to death the bastard who had embarrassed him.
Unexpectedly, the guy actually took a knife and started fighting with Liang Ji. While fighting, he shouted: "Commander, I am wronged. I dare not offend your power. I heard that you are here. I am happy from the bottom of my heart. Colonel
When the captain went to ask for the departure fee, Xiao tried his best to persuade him, but he didn't listen and said there was no reason why a large army could leave without any fee.
Just now, the younger one was trying his best to dissuade those idiots, but he didn’t stop him..."
This guy talked a lot, but his hands were very strong. He resisted Liang Ji's iron spear several times, and wormed his way through the crowd like a monkey, making Liang Ji unable to catch him.
Finally, he walked in circles and reached Yun Zheng. He threw the knife away and knelt down in front of Yun Zheng, crying and wiping away his tears.
"The younger one was confused by lard. I heard that the Forbidden Army was good, so I didn't follow the general to the Xiang Army. Who would have thought that only when I came here did I know that the stubborn captain was not a human being. Not only did he deduct food and salary, but he also took advantage of the brothers.
When working with cattle and horses, Xiao Xiao is just a small team leader. His subordinates will laugh at them even if he trains. After a long time, he has no intention to practice... But in the end, Xiao Xiao still got fifty-six from the training.
Good man, you can do whatever you want with others, but these fifty-six brothers are really good. If I hadn't ordered them not to move just now, Lao Liang might not have been able to chase the little ones all over the ground."
Liang Ji angrily kicked the guy in the face. The guy got up spitting out the dirt in his mouth and yelled at his men to come out and practice with Liang Ji. Sure enough, more than fifty men all stood up.
A spear formation was soon formed, with Cai Laoliu standing at the front, the entire team armed with spears, like a giant hedgehog.
Yun Zheng walked around the formation, and Peng Jiu said with a smile: "It's true. There are forests of spears all around, and in front of the arrow is a saber. Lao Cai's combat power is barely usable. Inside the military formation
If coupled with a long-range attack crossbow, a gunpowder bomb thrower, and three armor-piercing cone throwers, Lao Liang would be killed alive by this sharp arrow array! It looks like it is there, but it is not
I know if I will pee my pants in actual combat."
Cai Laoliu smiled with his yellow teeth and said: "Lao Peng, if you are interested, you can come forward and try. The captain has been deducting my salary in the past two years. We make money to support our family by suppressing bandits and arresting lone thieves.
I and my brothers caught Yan Shuangfei, the thief who was poisoning the Northwestern Road of Beijing, and sold him to Magistrate Tan. The brothers have had a prosperous year."
Yun Zheng looked at Tan Yuanxing who looked embarrassed and cupped his hands and said: "You don't have to be embarrassed. I often did this job when I was in Shuzhong. It's useless for them to get the credit. It's mutually beneficial for you to give them money. After all,
You and I both know what the local officials have under their command. If you have such errands in the future, just leave it to them. I will be happy to see it done."
Hearing what Yun Zheng said, Tan Yuanxing's flushed face calmed down, and he cupped his hands and said: "Marquis Yun, in my opinion, you don't need those useless soldiers to come to Zhengzhou anymore. You just need to give them a warrant, as long as you can
Fight, only those who dare to fight, and the rest should not come here to seek death."
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "That's good. If more people are killed, those censors and officials will make noise again."
Li Chang slept in the back camp. The family members who came in a hurry took good care of their master, put a clean wet cloth on his forehead, and then whispered to Li Chang: "Master, Xiao Shun just heard what was said outside.
The military master said that in Zhengzhou, a large city, only a hundred capable soldiers were selected. Why do you think this is?"
Li Chang was about to sit up when he was excited, then lay down helplessly on the bed, groaning: "He did something wrong again. There are more than 100 people for more than 2,000 people. Look, after going to the battlefield, your family will
Master, my life will definitely be ruined in his hands!" (To be continued)
