The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Comparing Hanzhong City and the Acropolis of Hanzhongwei, it is like a world of difference.

Hanzhong City is tall and majestic, the streets are wide and vast, the squares and cities are dense, densely populated, and there are many buildings facing the streets.

However, the Weicheng of Hanzhongwei was a dilapidated scene. When Chen Wang led a group of cavalry to the outside of the Weicheng of Hanzhong, he frowned involuntarily.

The Hanzhong Guards in the city had already closed the city gate before Chen Wanglai, and there was a commotion in the Acropolis, and there was even the sound of drums after a while.

There was so much movement in the city in front of him, a group of cavalry who followed behind Chen Wang immediately stepped forward and protected Chen Wang behind him.

The people at the front were all holding their bows and arrows, while the rest held their knives in their hands and were on full alert.

Chen Wang knew the situation with just one glance. He came all the way through Hanzhongwei's territory, but no one reported it?
Walking outside Hanzhong Weicheng, the defenders of Hanzhong Weicheng turned out to be enemy bandits.

Chen Wang didn't speak, but his expression was slightly gloomy. He knew that Han Zhongwei's guards were useless, but he didn't expect that they could be so useless.

Seeing such a situation, Chen Wang was able to remain calm, but Chen Gong couldn't bear it.

"Your mother's idiot, have you seen this flag behind you?!"

Chen Gong was furious, raised his whip, and cursed directly at Acropolis.

"If you dare to block the flag of the deputy commander-in-chief of Hanzhong Town, you have a few heads to lose!"

Chen Gong has a fiery personality and has means. He used to have many disputes with people in the army.

That is to say, in front of Chen Wang, he could restrain his temper more or less and dare not show any color.

A guard officer with a helmet on his head had just poked his head out from the crenel. His helmet was still crooked when he heard Chen Gong's scolding.

Looking back again, I saw the banners and armor of the cavalry outside the city, and my heart felt cold.

"It's over, it's over..."

The face of the guard officer turned pale with just a brush.

He had heard a few days ago that the deputy commander of their Hanzhong mansion, their new commander Tong Zhi, was coming to the Acropolis, but he didn't expect to come so soon.

What's more unexpected, he went to take a nap, and these bastards under his hands actually regarded the deputy commander of Hanzhong Town as a rogue.

"What are you looking at, open the door!"

The guard officer trembled all over, and hurriedly shouted to the servant next to him
The servants who followed behind him saw that their chief was trembling with fear, and they couldn't help panicking. How could they dare to be negligent, and hurried to pass orders to open the door.

Chen Wang didn't wait long, and the gate of the Acropolis was already opened.

Before entering, everyone in the city knelt down, and the officer of the guard knew that something was wrong.

On his first day in office, the new conductor, Tongzhi, was locked out of the city by himself.

He was just a general banner, Chen Wangzhen chopped off his head, nothing happened.

How dare I say anything else now, I just knelt on the ground with my head down and didn't even dare to move.

"Snapped!"

A whip rang in everyone's ears.

Chen Gong held the horsewhip with a cold expression, and whipped it on the body of the general banner of the guard army.

As soon as he whipped it down, his skin was already torn apart, and immediately became a piece of bright red.

The general flag of the guard army was suffering from pain, and suddenly fell to the ground.

Chen Gong held back his anger, so he raised his whip and wanted to beat him again.

But when Chen Gong raised his whip, he was persuaded by Chen Wang to stop.

"One whip is enough."

Chen Gong naturally dared not listen to Chen Wang's words.

Chen Gong snorted coldly, with a trace of violence flashing in his eyes, he held up his horsewhip and pointed at the general flag of the guard army, whose face was pale and wanted to shout, but dared not.

"This whip makes you have a long memory!"

Chen Wang shook his head slightly, he knew exactly what kind of person Chen Gong was.

When dealing with ordinary people, Chen Gong doesn't have a big temper, on the contrary he is easy to talk to.

That's why Chen Wang asked Chen Gong to lobby when Binzhou recruited troops.

But in the army, when dealing with his subordinate generals, Chen Gong's temper was a little grumpy.

When Chen Wang handed over the Liao cavalry to Chen Gong's leadership, many of those Liao cavalry were ruled by Chen Gong's military law.

Hu Zhili's work is rigid, unreasonable, and strict in running the army, but he always acts in accordance with the rules.

However, Chen Gong was a violator of military laws in the army, and he was punished twice.

In the end, it was still Chen Wang who pressed hard, and Chen Gong restrained himself a lot.

However, although Chen Gong has a violent personality, he always charged forward when he went into battle, and never robbed the achievements of his generals, and rewards and punishments were clearly defined.

Compared with ordinary generals and schools, he was better than one and a half stars, so even if Chen Gong was a little violent, his prestige in the army was still not low, and none of his subordinates were unconvinced.

"Get up."

Chen Wang glanced at the guards kneeling on the ground.

These guards can't be counted as an army at all, and it is already late autumn in October.

But the clothes on these guards were still thin, except for the general banner of the guards, none of them even wore neat and clean clothes, even many beggars in later generations wore better clothes than them.

"Go to the command office first."

Chen Wang withdrew his gaze, and led the horse into the acropolis.

After Chen Gong looked around at the surrounding guards, he did not do anything else after all, and followed Chen Wang to the city.

"Brother, they are trying to show us off. If we don't clean it up properly, it will be hard to handle in the future."

Chen Gong kicked the horse's belly a few times and caught up with Chen Wang.

Chen Wang's eyes moved slightly. He originally thought that Chen Gong was just getting angry, but now it seems that Chen Gong is not acting as he pleases.

"I don't think they dare."

Chen Wang shook his head. In fact, from the very beginning, he had already thought of the possibility of dismounting, but this possibility was quickly rejected by him.

In the mid-Ming Dynasty, the system of guards continued to collapse, and the nine borders actually changed to the system of guards and battalions.

Under such circumstances, the status of the guards is extremely low.

In a guard post in the interior like this, the status of a guard commander is not much different from that of the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief of the battalion.

The only thing that might be better is that the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief of the battalion can only get a fixed salary, and the commander of the guard can still scrape some money from the fields in the several thousand households under his command, so his net worth is slightly richer.

"But you're right."

Chen Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, and now he recalled it.

"Even if it's true that they got the situation wrong, and they're not trying to show off, they should be taught a good lesson."

Although it's not a slap in the face, but if you teach him a lesson, other people below may have some ideas. When he pushes forward the administrative order, the rectification of the guard may appear to be obedient.

Chen Wang's gaze scanned the streets and markets along the way.

Hanzhong Acropolis is much smaller than Hanzhong City in terms of size and in all aspects.

There are some shops on the street, but there are few pedestrians, the doors are empty, and the goods in the shops are not many, only a few kinds.

Chen Wang hadn't gone far with his people when a group of cavalry hurriedly appeared on the street.

Chen Wang didn't evade. There was such a commotion outside the city that it was impossible for the inside of the city to not react.

The leading guard officer dismounted first when he was still a little further away, and then walked all the way quickly, and prostrated himself on the ground when he got close.

"Wang Yunkang, commander of the Hanzhong Guard, please refer to the Commander-in-Chief."

Wang Yunkang came here in a hurry after receiving the news from the city gate.

He was on duty at the government office when the sound of drums was heard outside the city, and then someone came to say that the rogues had come to attack the city.

Just when he ordered all the family members and left the official office with a group of soldiers, another person came to report.

This time it wasn't about the rogues, they said they misunderstood the person, the person who came was Chen Wang, who had just been promoted to the deputy commander, and also led their guards to command the comrades.

Hearing that Chen Wang was stopped outside the city, Wang Yunkang's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't dare to neglect for a moment, rushing all the way here in a hurry.

"The humble official welcomes you late, and I ask the commander-in-chief to forgive me. Later, the humble official dismissed the unsightly military post and told him to go back to the field to farm and dig grass!"

Wang Yunkang lowered his head, secretly groaning in his heart.

It was only said yesterday that the new guard deputy commander Chen Wang might come to inspect the Acropolis, but no one thought that he would come so fast and in such a hurry.

"Get up."

In fact, Chen Wang was not very angry about being blocked from the door, but to implement the administrative order, one needs to establish prestige first.

"I came all the way, but no one reported to Acropolis."

"Near the Acropolis, it was thought that a foreign enemy invaded, and the city gate was closed tightly, and it was locked outside the city."

Chen Wang's eyes were cold, and he said coldly.

"You guys, what kind of army is this!"

"What's the matter?"

Wang Yunkang trembled all over, and cold sweat broke out in an instant.

"Humble job, humble job..."

Wang Yunkang stammered, just kept talking about his humble job, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Chen Wang drove forward, walked up to him, looked down at Wang Yunkang who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a cold voice.

"Are you the only one in charge in the city? Where is your commander? Where are the rest of the colleagues?"

"It's only Shen Shi, and it's not even sunset, so people are not in the official office. What kind of officials are you working for?!"

Wang Yunkang's face was pale, he couldn't answer any of Chen Wang's questions, he was so frightened that he was speechless.

He was also present during the Battle of Hanzhong. At that time, Chen Wang was still a guerrilla, and his troops were in the north, while they were in the south.

He saw Chen Wang leading the troops out of the camp with his own eyes, and saw Chen Wang beheading the gangster and killing the tiger Zhang Yuan.

More than one hundred thousand rogues came all over the mountains and plains, and they were defeated in an instant after less than a few hours of fighting. The entire field was full of fleeing rogues.

At that time, Chen Wang's name was already in the hearts of all the Hanzhong guards, no different from the god of death.

Later, Chen Wang was on the rise all the way, and when he heard the name again, it turned out to be Gao Yingxiang, the king who killed the Chuang.

That Gao Yingxiang is now the leader of the 72nd Battalion elected by the rogues. It is said that there are millions of troops under his command, but he was killed by Chen Wang just like that.

And because of this military merit, Chen Wang became the deputy commander-in-chief of the guard of Hanzhong Mansion, and the commander of their guards knew each other.

Originally thought that this commander and acquaintance was just a job title, but what he didn't expect was that Chen Wang would come to perform his job again.

"I'll go to the official office first. I don't care where they are. I'll give you half an hour to let everyone come to the official office."

Chen Wang glanced sideways at Wang Yuankang who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and didn't waste any more time on him.

"Walk."

Chen Wang raised his whip and led a group of cavalry towards the commander's office.

All the way was unimpeded. The guards guarding inside and outside the official office saw Chen Wang, who was wearing a crimson official uniform and a black gauze, leading a group of menacing soldiers. Wherever they dared to step forward to stop them, they all avoided , out of the way.

Chen Wang walked into the official office and went straight into the main hall.

A group of personal guards scattered away with their swords in hand, and soon took over the defense of the entire government office.

The military officials who were dealing with affairs in the official office were all trembling and did not dare to act presumptuously.

Chen Wang talked for half an hour, but in fact only two minutes later, Ren Zhong Tan Yingfeng, the commander of Han Zhongwei, brought Wang Yuankang, another commander and a colleague into the hall. middle.

The Hanzhong Mansion was in endless wars. On the way to suppress, the original commander of Hanzhongwei, Tongzhi, died in battle, and the commander killed two people. Now there is only one commander, Tongzhi.

Only Wang Yuankang and the other two were left in command.

Chen Wang had already done his homework on these things.

"Tan Yingfeng, Commander of the Hanzhong Guard, please refer to the Commander-in-Chief."

Tan Yingfeng saluted first, and then Wang Yuankang and others who followed behind him also saluted together

As the commander, Tan Yingfeng saluted very simply, without any psychological burden.

Chen Wang came here this time and said that he was fulfilling the responsibility of commanding his colleagues, but he was very clear about these things in his heart, and he had received some secret news in advance.

Chen Wang raised his hand, motioning them to get up.

Everyone got up together, and Tan Yingfeng saw that Chen Wang was sitting on the left, not on the top.

But naturally he didn't make the first move, he hesitated for a while, and then sat in front of Chen Wang.

Chen Wang glanced sideways at Tan Yingfeng, waited for the rest of the people to sit down, and then waited for a while before opening his mouth slowly.

"The bandits in Xunxiang and Xunxiang are in constant chaos, and the bandits may re-enter Hanzhong Mansion at any time."

When Chen Wang said that the rogues from Xunxiang and Xunxiang might enter the Hanzhong mansion again, the faces of several people in the hall could not help but change color.

"Currently all parts of the country are fighting, and there are not enough troops."

"That's why I was appointed by the governor to be the commander of Han Zhongwei."

"In order to rectify the military affairs of the Weizhong, revive the combat power, and protect the Hanzhong Mansion."

"During my tenure, I hope you can cooperate."

Chen Wang lifted the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Time was running out, Chen Wang didn't want to waste too much time on meaningless things.

He didn't go around in circles, but directly used Sun Chuanting's name, stated what he was going to do, and directly put pressure on several people.

When Tan Yingfeng and the others heard Chen Wang mentioning the governor, their expressions stiffened.
