The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 768 The Disobedient Zuo Liangyu

Everyone was overjoyed, and asked again: "How is the servant?"

"Dozens of you left behind turned into soldiers, and all the rest of the servants gather and follow us." He Daping wanted to take away all the servants: "Assemble now."

In order to prevent them from cheating, call for a collection of servants now.

The servant's harness and armor are different from those of ordinary sergeants, which can be seen at a glance.

He Daping asked their soldiers to gather the servants, and He Daping sent soldiers to follow.

At this time, Wu Sangui was not in the camp, the generals had no leader, no backbone, plus they had just been promoted and rewarded with silver, they were really confused, they didn't know how to deal with it, so they had to follow He Daping's order step by step.

After a while, more than 2000 servants of the whole army were gathered together.

He Daping was also slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that in Wu Sangui's army, servants accounted for so many.

Wu Zu's family has been in business for many years, and all the elite are the servants in front of them.

But now they are standing with He Daping soldiers and horses, it is obviously not interesting, only in terms of discipline, it is much worse.

He Daping's five hundred elite stood still, completely silent.

The servants were chattering and whispering everywhere.

Zu Jinzhong and the others were watching from the sidelines, as if they wanted to see a joke.

But He Daping stared at the servants without moving.

The servants began to comment on them, chatting and laughing.

After watching for a while, the opposite side was motionless and silent, and suddenly felt a little weird.

Many servants couldn't help but also stopped, and the scene gradually became quiet.

After the other side was quiet, He Daping said loudly: "According to the court's order, all generals in Ming Dynasty are not allowed to have servants."

The servants who had just calmed down suddenly became a mess, and many of them were angry and anxious: "Is the imperial court going to dismiss us?"

"Besides being a soldier, we don't know anything."

"Is this trying to force us to go up the mountain?"

"Don't make noise, listen to General He." Someone beside He Daping said angrily.

The servants cursed and cursed, their voices lowered a lot.

"Those who are willing to stay and continue to fight against the Qing Tartars will be converted into full-time soldiers. They will be paid one or two to five dollars a month, and the imperial court will provide food, and another twenty acres of land will be allocated, and [-]% of the tax will be exempted."

"You can choose to take the [-] acres of land from the garrison or take it from your hometown."

After this condition came out, most servants could still accept it.

The servants are also fed and supported by the master, and now it is almost the same. The imperial court provides food and money, and the key is [-] acres of land.

Someone immediately asked, "Where's the horse armor?"

"Of course the imperial court takes care of everything."

"How much silver do you really take?"

"One, two, five, nothing is deducted."

"really."

"Ask the prince's soldiers and horses, the hundreds of thousands of troops, have they ever embezzled a penny?"

"Where will we be stationed?" Someone asked wisely.

"Stay in Ningxia first, but will change defenses every few years."

"Can you bring your family?"

"can."

"I want to stay in Liaodong to fight the Tartars."

"Also."

In this case, the Liaodong soldiers have many choices. They can choose to take [-] acres of land in Ningxia, or they can take it in their hometown of Liaodong.

Some people have family members in Liaodong, and they can hand over the fields to their family members for management.

Everyone talked about it, and suddenly felt that the conditions were not bad, very good, and thoughtful for their whole family.

Zu Jinzhong and the others were still waiting to see a joke at first, after all, the Liaodong soldiers were more rebellious and rebellious, and they looked down on other officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty.

But Ding Yi's soldiers and horses in the battle of Songjin had already shown them how powerful they were, and today's conditions were so good, no one had any strong objections.

"There is no problem, right?" He Daping looked around at this moment, and said loudly, "Take the money and leave."

With a wave of his hand, a large cart was pushed forward, and a lot of silver fell to the ground.

"15 taels per person, first two months' salary, plus 12 taels for settlement."

The servants were overjoyed and lined up to get the money.

When taking the silver, the person who issued the silver would ask, "Do you know who gave you this silver?"

"The imperial court?" Someone asked back.

"It's the king of Zhenbei, the prince."

"Thank you, my lord."

Everyone will ask when they go up.

Some people would say thank you, the lord, some people would be happy and not say anything, and some people would not hum, anyway, after taking the money first.

After taking the silver, they were taken away from the camp on horseback and assembled outside.

Then some people will go to Ningxia to garrison, and some will go back to the front line in Liaodong.

More than 2000 men were settled by He Daping in the middle of the morning.

And it was issued in front of Zu Jinzhong and the others.

Seeing that none of the servants resisted and went out of the camp honestly, all Wu Sangui's generals knew that the Liaodong cavalry and the ancestral army, Wu's army, had officially become a thing of the past.

From then on, Daming only had the Ding family army, the troops of King Zhenbei.

After distributing the servants, He Daping organized the remaining troops to continue distributing silver.

Battalion by battalion begins.

Because the silver is in large ingots, one tael is one, so He Daping said that the salary from May to October will be paid first, and the extra taels will be counted as rewards.

The Liaodong soldiers were all dumbfounded. They used to deduct military pay, but now not only do they not deduct it, but they pay it six months in advance, and there are rewards.

Similarly, when the money was issued, He Daping asked one by one.

Who pays the salary?Still six months?

It is the king of Zhenbei.

"This will be the case in the future, and will not be deducted."

This will always be the case in the future, and there will be no deduction. Afterwards, this sentence has become a famous sentence passed down by word of mouth among officers and soldiers, and many people often read it.

When Wu Sangui's camp was like this, so was Gaodi's camp.
-
The capital in May has returned to normal, and the lives of the people are as usual.

Wu Sangui stayed at the mansion and did not leave there, patiently waiting for Ding Yi to summon him.

In the afternoon of the next day, his subordinates Zu Jinzhong, deputy general of the left camp, Fu Wenyuan, a guerrilla from the right camp, general Pan Yongchang, barbarian generals Bakeyong, Meng Ketu, and Keshitu, came to the Wu Mansion one after another.

Wu Sangui was shocked, these people should be in the army outside the city, why did they also enter Beijing?
When he asked, he found out that not long after he entered the capital, the imperial court issued an edict to Wu Sangui and Gao Di's army outside the capital to promote officers at all levels and dispatch them.

Deputy general Zu Jinzhong was promoted to the general army of Chengdu, and the court asked him to bring Wu Sangui's [-] soldiers into Sichuan, and he wanted to fight Zhang Xianzhong with Ding Yi's soldiers.

The guerrilla Fu Wenyuan was promoted to the deputy general of Changping, and took 1000 people to garrison Juyongguan, but Ding Yi was said to have [-] troops there.

Participating general Pan Yongchang was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Wuchang, and went to Wuchang to replace Zuo Liangyu.

The generals of Wu Sangui's various ministries were promoted, and each of them was rewarded with silver ranging from one hundred taels to 1000 taels.

Wu Sangui's [-] army was also divided.

Wu Sangui almost fainted when he heard it.

Now that he entered the capital, he suddenly became a bachelor commander?Ding Yi is a bastard, Wu Sangui greeted Ding Yi's family in his heart, but he had to admire Ding Yi, this trick was much more powerful than Chongzhen.

At the beginning, Chongzhen separated and divided Ding Yi step by step, and he did not succeed.

Ding Yi took one step at a time, mobilized his subordinates to pieces, everywhere, some took away five hundred, some took away one thousand, some took away ten thousand, and divided up his twenty thousand soldiers and horses.

Especially his strongest servant troops were all taken out of the camp.

All the generals entering the city today came to bid farewell to Wu Sangui with gratitude.

Of course, some of them may have other ideas. The implication is that if Wu Sangui refuses, they are also unwilling to accept the imperial court's transfer.

But what's the use of saying this now?

Wu Sangui was very happy to see Zu Jinzhong, and he was suddenly promoted to the commander-in-chief with another [-] troops.

He thought for a while, and was indeed a little disheartened: "The court values ​​you all, and you all have to do your best to help the court. The prince will not treat me badly. In the future, our brothers will meet each other one day."

What he meant was that if Ding Yi didn't treat me badly, then forget about it, but if he treated me badly, you can figure it out.

Several generals had a drink at Wu Sangui's house that night as a farewell.

Early the next morning, Zu Jinzhong and Xu Wenhu (the commander-in-chief under Gao Di) each took [-] soldiers and horses, a total of [-] soldiers and horses, went to Shaanxi and joined Ding Yi's soldiers and horses to attack Sichuan.

Wu Sangui lived in the capital for a few days, and generals from all over the country came to Beijing one after another after receiving the imperial edict.

Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Yanzhou, Gao Jie, the general soldier of Luzhou, Huang Degong, the former general soldier of Fengyang (now Ma Yue is the general soldier of Fengyang), and Liu Liangzuo, the general soldier of Nanjing, successively led troops to Beijing.

Liu Zeqing knew that Ding Yi was powerful. He and Ding Yi were neighbors in Shandong, so he was very knowledgeable and immediately brought troops to Beijing.

Both Gao Jie and Huang Degong were relatively obedient generals, unwilling to disobey the imperial decree, they also entered Beijing soon.

Liu Liangzuo didn't want to go to Beijing, but seeing that everyone was going to Beijing, there was nothing he could do, so he walked slowly and followed behind.

Among them, Liu Zeqing had [-] troops, Gao Jie had [-], Huang Degong had [-], and Liu Liangzuo had [-].

In the original history, these four people were all in the four towns of Jiangbei, and they were all named earls, but this time there is no such opportunity.

After the four arrived in Beijing, Ding Yi met them respectively.

Then Huang Degong led his [-] soldiers to Sichuan, also to fight Zhang Xianzhong, and Ding Yi asked him to station in Sichuan after he took down Sichuan as the general army of Chongqing.

Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo were sent to stay in the capital, and the soldiers and horses under the three men were all recruited by Ding Yi outside the city. Then they followed the old routine, carefully selected, bought people's hearts, and paid them three steps.

The servants of the three were not as good as the Liaodong servants, and they were all dismissed as ordinary tribes. Those who were willing to do it stayed and changed places, and those who were unwilling took money and left.

Some of them resisted and were punished by hundreds.

Ding Yi selected [-] elites from among them, and retrained them in the area around Ji Town.

In this way, from Jizhen to Tianjin, plus Li Zicheng's [-] surrendered troops, [-] soldiers and horses are reorganizing and training.

On May [-]th, Wu Sangui, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo, who had nothing to do in the capital, heard the news that Ding Yi's [-] troops besieged Xi'an, and Li Zicheng died.

The four of them were also trembling at the time. Ding Yi had tens of thousands of troops near the capital, and I heard that Lushun also had tens of thousands of soldiers, but he didn't expect that there were hundreds of thousands of troops outside.

On May [-]th, Huang Fei, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Navy and Admiral Guan Liao, Tongjin, Huaihaijiang Town, led [-] troops, landed in Tianjin and entered Beijing.

Huang Fei is not very famous in history, but at the end of Ming Dynasty, he was also the overlord with a large number of soldiers and horses, and he was a righteous man who resisted the Qing Dynasty.

His uncle is Huang Long, the famous general soldier of Dongjiang in history. This time because Ding Yi came to this world, Huang Long failed to be the general soldier of Dongjiang and died of illness three years ago.

Huang Fei inherited Huanglong's career and also took his surname. At the end of Ming Dynasty, he had a maximum of [-] soldiers and horses, and his strength was also very strong.

He is a righteous man who resisted the Qing Dynasty, and he also listened to the imperial court very much.

After Ding Yi summoned him, he ordered him to lead troops along the river into Huguang, preparing to deal with Zuo Liangyu, and at the same time pay him to win over the troops.

Because at this time, Zuo Liangyu, who has the most soldiers and horses among the generals supporting the troops in the entire Ming Dynasty, has been in Wuchang, staying still and not going to Beijing.

In history, Huang Fei and Huang Degong teamed up and defeated Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Menggeng.

Ding Yi will also use Huang Fei at this time, because he also has a navy in his hands.
