Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 197 Are There Tens of Thousands of Elite Soldiers?The princess is too stingy

Seeing Tan Wen's body and those eyes that could not rest in peace, Li Dingguo couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I'm afraid Tan Wen won't believe it until he dies, and the two younger brothers will kill him together."

Ma Gan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, also had a complicated expression, and said, "Tan Hong and Tan Yi killed elder brother, it is indeed not a pity to die.

However, Tan Wen informed us of their previous conspiracy, and obviously also had the idea of ​​handing over Tan Hong and Tan Yi to the court for questioning.

But in the past, Tan Hong and Tan Yi did those nasty things, if Tan Wen didn't know, I wouldn't believe it.

The relationship between the three brothers, and their current fate, hehe, it's hard to describe. "

Hearing Ma Gan's words, Li Dingguo understood after a little thought.

He immediately said: "In any case, Tan Wen died on duty. I will report it to the supervisor and give him the reward he deserves."

Ma Gan nodded, "Mr. Li is right. The public is the public, and the private is the private. We can't confuse their merits and demerits because of personal opinions."

Li Dingguo looked to the other side and temporarily became a prisoner, accepting the reorganization of tens of thousands of local government troops.

Previously, Er Tan, Wang Xueshi, Hu Yunfeng and others had brought thousands of family members to escape overnight.

Therefore, this rebellion did not affect those ordinary soldiers.

In the end, less than a hundred people were killed or injured by the border guards, and only two to 3000 were killed or injured by the rebels.

The remaining 5 to [-] people all surrendered and became prisoners.

Of course, Yao Yulin and the other three inspectors were not treated as prisoners, but their weapons were confiscated.

Li Dingguo said: "The reorganization will start tomorrow, and at the same time, we will collect information about the Thirteen Shakers from these people.

After half a month of training, we can start to sweep Kuizhou and parts of Baoning Prefecture. If it goes well, we may be able to rush back to Chengdu for the New Year. "

Ma Gan knew that when they returned to Chengdu, it was time to discuss meritorious deeds, so he couldn't help laughing: "I hope so."

···
Chongzhen 17th year, November [-]th.

Since Zeng Ying took over the city of Chongqing on October [-], he has successively wiped out bandits in various prefectures and counties of Chongqing Prefecture. Up to now, he has basically controlled the entire Chongqing Prefecture.

It only needs to wait for the officials sent by the Jian Guofu and the Chief Secretary of Sichuan to govern the prefectures and counties, and then the Chongqing government can restore order.

As for how to deal with Wang Yingxiong of Zunyi Mansion and other civil and military officials serving the Nanjing court, Zeng Ying chose to lead the first and second towns of the border guards, and the second town of Liu Wenxiu's imperial guards, stationed in Qijiang, waiting for the Jianguo Mansion The command.

Unexpectedly, before the order from Jian Guo Mansion came, Wang Yingxiong's envoy arrived first.

The person who came was a middle-aged civil servant, and before he declared his name, he raised his voice with the arrogance of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, "General Zeng, Governor Wang knows that you defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Chengdu, and now you have regained Chongqing, and you have sent to Nanjing." Thanks for your success.

If there is no accident, you will be promoted to at least three ranks this time, and there is hope for a knighthood.

Now thief Zhang has escaped into Guizhou, and he should take advantage of the victory to pursue him.Therefore, Master Wang asked you to meet him in Zunyi and discuss with the generals about pursuing and suppressing Zhang Thief. "

Zeng Ying wanted to laugh when she heard these words, but she finally held back in front of this person.

He just nodded and said, "Okay, I see."

When the middle-aged civil servant saw that Zeng Ying was in a state of distress, he subconsciously wanted to scold him, but seeing that the soldiers in the hall looked at him unkindly, he finally held back.

So he snorted coldly: "I'm waiting, I hope General Zeng will leave soon!"

Zeng Ying nodded again, and shouted: "Come here, take this... uh, to rest at the post in the city."

Out of politeness, he should have asked the envoy's name and official position.

But thinking that this person is probably not on his side, he gave up.

And the middle-aged official also didn't introduce his thoughts - he felt uncomfortable staying with Zeng Ying, the warriors and thieves who enshrined a princess as the supervisor of the country.

After this person left, Zeng Ying looked at Liu Wenxiu, Liu Zhenfan, and Li Yunliang, the military supply envoy (fifth grade) from the Military Affairs Department of the Jian Guofu Military Affairs Department who were also in the hall.

Question: "Wang Yingxiong asked me to go to Zunyi, what do you three think?"

Seeing that Liu Wenxiu and Li Yunliang didn't intend to speak first, Liu Zhenfan had no choice but to throw bricks and say, "I think this Nanjing Inspector Wang is uneasy and kind, you are going, maybe he will take the opportunity to capture you so that he can control us These soldiers and horses."

Liu Wenxiu said: "That person seems to be arrogant, but he said that Wang Yingxiong wants to promote you to three ranks and promise to be a knight. It seems that he wants to buy you first. If the bribe is not successful, they will consider other methods."

As soon as Zeng Ying heard it, she knew that Liu Wenxiu was worried (beware) that he would be moved by high-ranking officials and generous salary, and turned against the government and took refuge in the Nanjing court.

But he didn't have any such thoughts in his heart, he wasn't guilty, and he didn't care about Liu Wenxiu's suspicion.

But this matter must be made clear, otherwise I am afraid that the army will be dissatisfied.

So he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Liu Zongbing was joking, Nanjing Hongguang is a false emperor, let alone Wang Yingxiong, a pseudo-governor's official who made a wish, even if the false emperor really gave a duke and marquis, Zeng is not rare.

As for saying that they want to control our army by controlling Zeng, it is also delusional.

I'm afraid I don't know, but since the major reorganization in Chengdu, our army has been different from the old-style army.

Whether it is Zeng or other generals, it is impossible to defect from the Jian Guofu with the army.

Does the quartermaster think what Zeng said? "

At the end, Zeng Ying's eyes fell on Li Yunliang.

He knew that among the few people at present, Li Yunliang was more directly related than the three of them.

For one thing, Li Yunliang is a member of the Li Yan tribe, and one of the soldiers who followed Zhu Yu into Sichuan.

Second, the Quartermaster is subordinate to the Military Affairs Department and the Quartermaster Division, not only responsible for the logistics work of the military supply, but also has the role of "supervising the army".

Liu Wenxiu was suspicious of him, he didn't need to care, but if Li Yunliang also had suspicions about him, he might be in a bit of trouble.

Li Yunliang nodded with a smile, and said: "Zeng Zongbing is right—Wang Yingxiong and the others have neither righteousness nor strength, no matter what schemes they have, they will never succeed."

Seeing this, Zeng Ying knew that Li Yunliang was expressing that he did not suspect him, so she felt relieved.

At this time, Liu Zhenfan said: "Then what is Zongbing Zeng going to do?"

Zeng Ying sighed secretly when he heard the words, but he didn't expect the ball to be kicked back in the end.

While he was pondering, a soldier reported outside the hall that a messenger had arrived from Chengdu.

Zeng Ying was overjoyed, and immediately asked someone to invite the messenger in, and read in front of several people the letter from Chengdu and the military order from the Military Affairs Department.

After reading it, he smiled and said, "Jian Guo's instruction came at the right time, now Zeng can go to Zunyi to meet Wang Yingxiong and the others."

Liu Zhenfan, Liu Wenxiu, and Li Yunliang looked at the handbook and military order, and all smiled.

Because they all understand what Zeng Ying meant by going to Zunyi generously...

a few days later.

Zunyi city head.

Wang Xiang, Luo Yushen, Hou Tianci and other generals looked at the tens of thousands of Jian Guofu's troops outside the city with solemn expressions.

Wang Yingxiong had an ugly face.

It just so happened that Wang Xinliang, the prefect of Chongqing (newly appointed) whom he sent to spread the word, was hoisted up by a hanging basket from outside the city.

He went over and pulled Wang Xinliang aside, and asked, "I asked you to call Zeng Ying over, but I didn't ask you to bring his army with you.

These tens of thousands of troops are very elite at first glance. What should we do if we storm Zunyi City? "

Wang Xinliang smiled wryly and said: "When I went to Qijiang, I sent the message according to the supervisor's wishes, but Zeng Ying was rebellious, and insisted on bringing the army with me, there is nothing I can do about it.

But it is not necessarily true that he will attack Zunyi City by force.

The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command have been stationed in Qijiang for several days, and there has been no movement. They must be up for sale, waiting for the supervisor to ask for merit for him, and promise him a high position and rich salary. "

Hearing this, Wang Yingxiong showed a skeptical look, and asked, "Isn't he the general appointed by the Princess Supervisor of Chengdu? Would he really think so?"

Wang Xinliang stroked the beard on his lips and said with a smile: "A woman is a supervisor of a country, which has never existed in ancient times, it is extremely absurd, not to mention that the princess is so stingy to the official.

There are so many elite soldiers under Zeng Ying's command, and she has made great achievements repeatedly, but she is only appointed as the general soldier. No matter who it is, I am afraid that she will have strange thoughts. "

Wang Yingxiong thought it made sense and nodded unconsciously.

Over the years, the imperial court has been watching how many soldiers and horses the generals give to the officials. Not only the generals are used to this, but also the civil servants are also used to it, and even form a habit of thinking.

However, Wang Yingxiong didn't believe how deeply this matter was related to that Princess Kunxing.

He said with a smile: "Princess Bacheng is the puppet of Long Wenguang, Liu Zhibo and others in Chengdu. It is only they who deliberately lowered their official positions to suppress generals."

"What the supervisor said is true." Wang Xinliang naturally flattered Wang Yingxiong, and continued to make suggestions, "Since Zeng Ying intends to join the supervisor, it is a good thing to bring the army here this time.

However, just in case, it is better for the supervisor to let him enter the city alone later - even if he wants to bring people, it cannot exceed five hundred.

In this way, as long as he really wants to rely on the supervisor and is willing to obey his orders, that's all.

If he is unwilling, or tries to coerce the army for self-respect, the supervisor can take the opportunity to take it down, and then send Wang Xiang, Luo Yushen and others to take over the tens of thousands of elite soldiers outside the city. "

Hearing these words, Wang Yingxiong couldn't help showing a smile, puffed up his palms, and said: "This plan is very good, one ring after another, we will act according to this plan later!"

"The supervisor is wise!"

Afterwards, the two discussed the specific method, and then returned to the city gate.

Looking at Zeng Ying and the others who were riding a horse and standing a mile away from the city, Wang Xinliang shouted at the top of his voice, "Zeng Zongbing, the supervisor wants you to come into the city quickly to discuss matters!"
