Chapter 471 Are you the only one who still wants to establish your authority?
Since the news was blocked, all the news coming out of the entire Lianzhou Prefecture has been sorted and processed. Lianzhou Prefecture has become a deserted place, with only people entering and no one leaving.
In the early morning of Lianzhou Prefecture, not a single soldier could be seen on the city wall. The soldiers on duty last night were curious as to why the change of guard did not come. However, the general had already called everyone to go down to the city. The soldiers who had been on the city wall for a while could not control so many.
They all followed him back to the camp.
The main campus has now turned into a large military camp, with more than 23,000 guardsmen from other prefectures gathered here, including those who were supposed to go to the city wall to change shifts today.
"Who knows what's going on? Why are we not allowed to go out today?" the commander of the guards from Zhaoqing Prefecture asked standing in the crowd.
The commanders of the guard posts in the eleven prefectures were all of the same rank. They were standing together and chatting noisily.
"I heard from Mr. Zhao, the commander of the capital, that Mr. Qi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, is coming to inspect the military camp." The guard commander of the Guangzhou Prefecture said, "The second-grade commander of the capital, Mr. Zhao, is the highest military officer in the province. He is based in Guangzhou. He is subject to
Qi Hongliang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, exercised restraint.
"Tsk, tsk, our governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is very arrogant. When he comes to inspect, he will inspect. Even the soldiers at the top of the city have been withdrawn. We are not afraid of the Annan people directly attacking the city. Who will we talk to when the city is broken?" One person asked.
He curled his lips and said with a bit of disdain.
"Perhaps I think that when I arrived, the Annan people were too scared to leave the camp, and now they don't dare to attack the city."
A group of people talked casually. Anyway, the people present were all the commanders and envoys of the guards of each government, and there were no outsiders. They were usually looked down upon by the civil servants, and they had accumulated countless grievances in their hearts. Naturally, they had to talk a lot at this moment.
You said it, and I said it, and the civil servant's talkative manner was vividly expressed. When he was so happy, the gate of the camp suddenly opened, and a group of two thousand people walked in. The leader was clearly Qi Hongliang and others.
When everyone saw this scene, they looked at each other and immediately shut up. These words must not be heard by the civil servants, otherwise they would be left with nothing to eat.
A group of people walked towards this side, and the group of guardsmen and commanders immediately rushed forward to greet them. Their faces instantly wiped away the complaints just now, and each of them had a look of reverence and joy on their faces, as if they were looking forward to Qi Hongliang's arrival.
Same.
Qi Hongliang just nodded and didn't say much. With a group of people who are about to die, it's better to talk less. It's bad luck...
A group of commanders saw Qi Hongliang and just nodded indifferently. They couldn't help cursing in their hearts, you damn sour scholar, you are so arrogant. You don't have to count on us when fighting. Let's see if you will be beaten when in danger.
I was so scared that I peed my pants.
I could only say these words in my heart, I didn't dare to express anything on my face. After taking a look at the crowd, I found that Commander Zhao Du's face was very stiff. His eyes towards them seemed to be conveying some message, but then his body slightly moved.
After a pause, he turned away, his expression gone.
The commander of the eleven guards didn't find anything wrong. He just thought that Zhao had been reprimanded by Qi Hongliang, so he looked bad and followed the team to the military hall.
There were not many people entering the lobby. They were all with status in the military, at least fourth rank or above. They were not wearing official uniforms, but Wang Xuan, who was dressed in white, also came in but was stopped by a guard commander. He didn't know it either.
What's wrong with him is that he doesn't like Wang Xuan, "What do you do? This is an important military camp, and you can come in."
The commander scolded, attracting everyone's attention. Someone beside him stretched out his hand to stop him, but stopped halfway because he discovered something that surprised him. Qi Hongliang did not sit down.
In the main position.
what's the situation?
Qi Hongliang is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and has important military and political affairs. This position is reserved for him. But now it seems that the situation is very strange. Who is this position vacant for?
He glanced around and saw that everyone who was eligible to sit down had already sat down. The only one left was the young man in white who was stopped at the door. A bad premonition surged into his heart and he subconsciously retreated.
Two steps behind.
"Ouch" "Whoosh" "Plop"
Three consecutive sounds rang out, and he just took a step back when a figure flew past him screaming, and the corner of his clothes hit his face, causing burning pain. Then there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. He looked along,
Then they saw the commander of the guard who was holding the young man in white curled up on the ground, holding his stomach and screaming in agony.
Looking back, I saw the young man in white, as if nothing had happened, he didn't care about other people's eyes at all, he went straight to the main seat and sat down.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very strange. In one mansion, there was one commander, two commanders, and four commanders who could enter the main hall. There were seventy-seven people in the eleven guards, and they were all staring at it with piercing eyes.
By Wang Xuan.
Who is he? I have never heard of someone wearing casual clothes to attend such a formal occasion. Doesn’t this person have an official position?
But if you don’t have an official position, why should you sit on the throne?
Why should the governor-general of Guangdong and Guangxi and the commander-in-chief of the capital be with you?
Wang Xuan ignored everyone's doubts, glanced across the hall, and thought in a calm voice, "Yin Xinghan of Nanxiong Prefecture, and Hua Junming of Chaozhou Prefecture, who are the two who came out?"
One person subconsciously stood up. Although he didn't know who Wang Xuan was, the power he exuded made him afraid to look directly at him. "I have a brilliant reputation in Chaozhou Mansion."
Seeing that no one was standing up, Wang Xuan asked again: "Where is Yin Xinghan in Nanxiong Mansion?"
The commander named Zhao next to him pointed at the guy lying on the ground and said nothing more.
"These two people did not arrive at Lianzhou Mansion within the stipulated time and delayed the military flight. What crime should they be punished for?" Wang Xuan turned his eyes to the man named Zhao next to him.
The Zhao Du commander's face turned pale. Under Wang Xuan's stern glare, he gritted his teeth and said, "According to military law, it is a death penalty."
"What?!"
Hua Junming turned pale and screamed. Yin Xinghan, who was lying on the ground, didn't care about his stomachache at this moment. He struggled to get up and looked at Wang Xuan and Zhao Du, who were in charge, with horrified eyes, "Why?"
, our two palaces are the farthest apart, the road goes south, the soldiers are tired, it’s just a few days late, what’s the big deal, why is it a death sentence!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How many days late? Even a day late is not enough, are you making fun of military law!" Qi Hongliang also spoke up at the right time, with a cold voice.
"Sir, have mercy on me!" Hua Jun knelt down on the ground. He never expected that this time it would be so strict. Is it necessary?
"Yes, Mr. Qi, we are facing a formidable enemy, so why not let them take advantage of their crimes and make meritorious service."
"Yes, Sir Qi, it would be unlucky to kill the general before the battle without even fighting."
"That's right, that's right."
"It is true that the roads are difficult to navigate. In Guangdong, we have seven mountains, one water and two farmlands. There are too many mountains, and it is understandable that the roads are difficult to navigate."
Even though these guards commanders didn't have much friendship with each other on weekdays, seeing Qi Hongliang trying to kill someone to establish his authority, they had to help him no matter what. Otherwise, if he really killed him, their lives would be difficult in the future.
Now, in the army, no one is free from all kinds of problems. If you really want to talk about it, no one can survive. Therefore, Qi Hongliang must not let Qi Hongliang recite this curse any longer.
"You are such a great general. You are the only ones who have the nerve to call yourself generals. Do you dare to order Bilian?" A disdainful voice sounded in the hall, scolding everyone in one sentence.
More than seventy people all looked towards Wang Xuan, with murderous intent in their eyes.
Wang Xuan acted as if he hadn't seen it, and didn't care at all. He continued to taunt: "It's certain that you should be guilty of meritorious service. If you are guilty of meritorious service, it's just because of you people who don't have enough to eat and can't do anything? You succeeded?"
I laughed."
These words were so vicious that the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards, who was a third-grade commander after all, turned red with anger.
"I haven't asked yet, what is your surname and identity?" Although he was angry, he still remained rational.
"I am not an official of the Ming Dynasty, and my surname is not expensive. Just call me Wang Xuan."
Not an official of the Ming Dynasty? Everyone looked at each other for a moment. If you are not an official of the Ming Dynasty, is there any room for you to interrupt here? Then why are you sitting in the chief seat?
Everyone knows that if you are not an official, you can still sit here and preside over the overall situation. Your status is definitely extraordinary. But the current situation is that the other party is determined to make everyone powerful. If one person fails today, everyone will be punished. After all,
No one is clean, and the mere act of being paid an empty salary is a capital crime.
Even if you escape this disaster, you may not know how many problems are waiting for you in the future.
Fortunately, this person seems to be a young man. He wants to target everyone when he first comes up. He is also punished with death if he opens his mouth and is punished with death if he shuts up. Do you really think that the authority of this army is so easy to establish?
Just find someone to blame for any crime, kill two of them, and then the people in the army will start to respect you in awe and obey you in everything?
I’ve read too many novels, so let’s have a dream!
If it were all that simple, Guan Ning's army would not be defeated repeatedly, and the general would raise his head and run away. He would not really dare to make trouble afterwards. At most, he would just issue an order to reprimand him without any pain, such as Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang took the lead in escaping, which resulted in the 40,000-strong army being wiped out by Huang Taiji. Afterwards, Sun Chengzong was dismissed due to improper employment, and Wu Xiang was imprisoned. However, his son Wu Sangui was promoted to the general army, and Wu Xiang was released not long after.
In fact, at that time, the Guan Ning Army had already become a powerful force. As for a head-on confrontation with the Jurchens, it was impossible. All fools knew that once the Jurchens were destroyed, their Guan Ning Army would be finished.
There was an inexplicable meaning in the eyes of everyone. It was just a matter of being bullied by these civil servants on weekdays. After all, it was just a matter of lip service and it was not painful. But when it came to war, hehe, it was another scene.
, otherwise, why would we cause trouble all the way? The reason why we are bold is because we have confidence.
If you don’t want to be corrupted, then you have to tolerate them!
So today, taking advantage of the opponent's opportunity to establish their authority, the eleven guards commanders also wanted to have a good fight with them. They did not seek to obtain the status of Guan Ningjun, but it was impossible to bully them.
!
Isn’t it just drinking and playing with women in the army?
Aren’t you just eating half of your free money?
Isn’t it just that there are too many old, weak, sick and disabled people?
Isn't it just delaying the military plane?
How big a deal is this?
Isn't this gay?
Why should you punish me?
I don’t accept it!
"Since you are not an official of the Ming Dynasty, how can you sit in this position and not come down!" The commander of the Shaozhou Prefecture Guard stood up and shouted angrily at Wang Xuan.
"Sir Qi, as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, you let a commoner sit there. Something is wrong here. When did Ming Dynasty have this rule?" The commander of Zhaoqing Mansion also stood up and said.
For a time, there were denunciations one after another in the hall, and the spearheads were all pointed at Wang Xuan.
"A common man is allowed to make the decision. Are you planning to let him only know the 50,000 troops outside?"
"It's just child's play. These good guys in our army can't stand this kind of humiliation!"
Each one's tone got better and better, except Hua Junming from Chaozhou Prefecture, who frowned and didn't speak. He felt as if he had forgotten something. This was very important. It was related to his wealth and life. This thing had already reached the edge of his mind.
, but he just couldn't figure it out, and he was so anxious that he wanted to keep patting his head.
"He's just a man named Wang. He's not a member of the royal family. Even if he's the consort, he's not qualified to command war!"
A voice came to mind next to Hua Junming, his surname was Wang? Why did he call him Wang?
He stretched out his hand to pull the person next to him, frowned and asked, "Why did that person call him Wang?"
"Wang Xuan! What's wrong with you?"
"Wang Xuan?" Such a familiar name, where have you heard of it? Hua Junming looked up at Wang Xuan, and then at Qi Hongliang. Remember, Qi Hongliang seemed to be the prefect of Fuzhou before, right? He was so close to Wang Xuan...
…Wait a minute… Hua Jun’s name flashed back and forth between the two of them, Fuzhou Wang Xuan, the name suddenly flashed in his mind.
It's him!
King of Fujian!
He is the commander of the Chaozhou Guard, which is close to Zhangzhou Prefecture in Fujian Province. The transportation on both sides is convenient and connected by water and land. Now many businessmen go to Fujian to buy goods. He knows all this and is still interested in getting involved. He also inquires about things there.
A lot.
In particular, he was shocked when he heard about the major changes in the nine guard posts in Fujian, the recruitment of new soldiers, and the policy of twenty acres of land per person. He also lamented that the Fujian king really had money and no place to spend it. Such a
With so much fanfare, do you still want to rebel?
As far as he knew, the commanders of the guard posts in several coastal prefectures in Fujian were killed by Wang Xuan in private. He was ruthless and had no scruples, but he was glad that he was not in Fujian.
But now, this killer has come to Guangdong, and looking at his posture, he has set his sights on Guangdong!
What kind of chick is this? He is clearly an evil spirit that eats people without spitting out their bones!
Now that the people are here openly, I'm afraid they...
Thinking of this, Hua Junming didn't dare to hesitate. He raised his legs and kicked two other guards commanders beside him who stood up and shouted. He cut his way through the crowd and flew towards him under the eyes of everyone looking at him as a madman.
He fell to the ground, got on all fours, and crawled directly towards Wang Xuan.
