Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 4 Yuno Ancestor Style
This is the late Ming Dynasty, not modern times.

The ancients paid great attention to oaths, and in the name of their ancestors, it was a very solemn oath.

The disciples of the generals are all proud of their status. Those who are a little enterprising among them will be determined to restore the glory of their ancestors and will not swear by their ancestors easily.

Especially when the ancestors were the famous father and son Ning Yuanbo, Li Chengliang and Li Rusong, this oath became even more convincing.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the military camp.

It's just that this "uproar" is no longer mutinous, but an uproar.

The difference of a word is a thousand miles.

Guanning soldiers discussed and argued with each other.

In fact, speaking of it, the decline of the Li family only lasted a few years.

It is true that Li Rusong died in the battle of Liaodong 30 years ago, but as Li Shunzu's great-grandfather, Li Chengliang lived a long life.

Counting now, he has only been dead for 14 years. If he works harder, he can live from the middle to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Many veterans of that generation are the fathers, grandfathers and brothers of these Guan Ningjuns, and some are even still alive in strong health.

The Li family in Liaodong is widely distributed. In addition to Li Chengliang's direct eldest family, there are also the second to fifth eldest families. However, the blood relationship between these Li family's children and Li Chengliang is actually very weak, and they are all distant relatives.

As Li Chengliang became famous, people from the second to fifth families, who were related to each other, gradually became mixed up in Liaodong.

However, although there are many descendants of the Li family, only Li Chengliang's direct lineage, that is, the branch of Li Rusong-Li Shizhong-Li Shunzu, has real prestige among the old Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

Li Chengliang had been in control of the Liao Dynasty for more than thirty years. He was widely criticized by court officials for his generous rewards to his subordinates and the inclusion of in-laws. However, it was precisely because of this that the Li family's relatives and friends were spread all over the country. The past prosperous years and iron horse wars were vaguely remembered Head.

Although the soldiers respect the prestige of the Li family in Liaodong, they are not all stupid people, and they will not be put off by an oath.

Soon, someone raised the question that attracted the most attention.

"The oath cannot be exchanged for food. When the time comes, you just pat your butt and leave. Don't you still have to wait here to die?"

"Commander Li lives in the Shenzhai compound and eats chicken, duck and fish. How could he know what kind of life the brothers are living now!"

When he said those words, Li Shunzu naturally had no intention of calming the situation with just one sentence.

Upon hearing the question, Li Shunzu's expression was not moved at all and looked extremely calm.

To quell the mutiny, we must start from the root.

The first thing that needs to be solved is the insufficient supply of materials for Guan Ning's army under the city. Li Shunzu also heard some clues from the shouts of those Guan Ning's soldiers just now.

What the Guan Ning soldiers complained a lot about was the embezzlement of supplies by the admiral of the Jingying camp at Changyimen.

It was precisely because the admiral of the capital camp at Changui Gate withheld supplies that many wounded who should not have been treated unfortunately died at the foot of the capital.

Judging from the experience of Li Shunzu who served in government departments in later generations, the only way to resolve this matter quickly is to stop it right here, and the narrower the scope involved, the better.

It would be best to blame the entire material issue on the Admiral of the Changui Gate Jingying Camp.

If we go further, things may not be solved so easily.

Human nature is greedy and selfish when it comes to personal gain.

There are not so many saints in the world, and neither did Lee Soon-jo.

Guan Ningbing and Li Shunzu didn't know any of them, and they didn't care about their life or death.

If Li Shunzu had not understood the official rules of this era and offended his colleagues with his first sentence, he would not have been involved in this fight that he would never have been involved in history.

Today, Li Shunzu can only try his best to do things well and get out as soon as possible.

Li Shunzu couldn't even remember who the Admiral of the Changui Gate was, so he would use his life to appease people's hearts without any psychological pressure.

It's actually very simple to exploit the weaknesses of human nature, just turn this mutiny from a disaster into a blessing.

If the advantages of not causing this mutiny outweigh the disadvantages of abandoning Admiral Changuimen, how would the people above choose?

Thinking of this, Li Shunzu turned his head and looked behind him.

The two imperial envoys outside the crowd, the eunuch who delivered the order, Che Tianxiang, and the commander of Beizhen Fusi, Song Fu, who was responsible for investigating Yuan Chonghuan, were pointing at this place with uncertain expressions on their faces.

But with Li Shunzu in charge, the two of them looked much better than before.

Feng Liangzu of Nanzhen Fusi had been hiding in the crowd waiting to see the fool.

Following Li Shunzu's gaze, all the Guan Ning soldiers turned around and looked back with sullen expressions.

Li Shunzu walked out of the crowd, came to the two of them, and bowed respectfully. "Two imperial envoys, the matter has been clarified."

"It was Admiral Zhangyimen who deducted supplies from Guan Ning's army without authorization, and more than a dozen wounded people died of serious injuries. It was not that Guan Ning's army deliberately caused trouble."

"If the two imperial envoys can report the truth to the superiors, things may turn around."

Upon hearing this, Che Tianxiang and Song Fu couldn't help but straighten their bodies.

Just return the supplies. Isn't this a wasted effort?

If a potential mutiny was quelled in just a few words, what kind of merit would it be to report it?
After all, Che Tianxiang was a member of the inner palace. When he heard the word "without permission", he immediately started laughing.

He couldn't understand the meaning of these two words in Li Shunzu's mouth.

When these two words are spoken, Li Shunzu's purpose is very clear, which is more pleasant to the ear than ten words of flattery.

"Hahaha, Commander Li is really like his ancestors, what a great trick!"

"Now that it has been found out that it was Changyimen Admiral Zhao Tai who caused the trouble without permission, as imperial envoys, we should uphold justice for King Qin's Guan Ning Army!"

"Commander Song, why are you still standing there?"

"Quickly send people to Zhangyimen to capture Zhao Tai, the admiral of the capital camp, to rectify military law!"

Otherwise, eunuchs are hated by people.

After Che Tianxiang said these words, the biggest credit for quelling the mutiny changed hands in an instant, and Song Fu next to him basically had nothing to do.

Song Fu was a little angry, secretly cursing the eunuchs as being useless and useless, but he also looked at Feng Liangzu angrily.

This is something that is not enough to succeed, but has more than enough to fail!

He didn't know anything about such a simple method of pacification, and even sent Li Shunzu out to share the second major contribution, overwhelming Beizhen Fusi!
But no matter what, Song Fu did not dare to explode in front of the people in the inner palace.

He just gritted his teeth and smiled, secretly writing down the account in his heart.

Li Shunzu naturally saw Song Fu's expression as if he had eaten shit, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Judging from the memory, Song Fu and Feng Liangzu originally wore the same pair of trousers. Even if they benefited from him this time, they might not let him go in the future.

After all, Che Tianxiang got the biggest benefit from putting down the mutiny this time. With him suppressing it, Song Fu probably wouldn't dare to make too many mistakes.

"Take Yuan Chonghuan!"

"Reporting to the Superintendent, at first the mutiny was about to break out, and the soldiers of each battalion had already drawn their swords and guns, and even the imperial guards were scared away. However, before the spy we arranged in the army could shout out the memorial, they came out Something happened."

In the Chinese army's large tent, a man who looked like an officer was nervously reporting to the superiors.

"So what next?"

Behind the handsome case was a skinny old man in his late fifties, leaning on a large chair covered with tiger skin, staring at the officers in the hall with a gloomy face.

This person is the current supreme commander of the Liao army. Yuan Chonghuan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, also serves as the right deputy censor of the capital, supervises Ji Liao, and also supervises the military affairs of Denglai and Tianjin.

"Returning to the commander-in-chief, a white-faced boy who claimed to be the great-grandson of Xi Ningyuan Bo Li Chengliang, and therefore the eldest grandson of Li Rusong, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, was called Li Shunzu. He was recommended by the soldiers to speak up and put down the mutiny with a few words."

"Che Tianxiang, the eunuch who passed the order, even praised him as having the legacy of the Li family's ancestors!"

"Then Li Shunzu swore in front of the army in the name of the Li family in Liaodong that he would make decisions for all the soldiers. He was supported by many of Li's old subordinates. Even the eunuch Che Tianxiang who delivered the order, Song Fu, the commander of Beizhen Fusi, and others also agreed. Its strategy.”

"Right now, Che Tianxiang is sending the Jin Yiwei to Zhangyi Gate to capture Zhao Tai, the admiral of the capital camp, and at the same time, he is walking through the military camp to the commander's tent!"

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he couldn't help but sit up straight.

Zhao Tai, the admiral of the capital camp at Zhangyimen, was his.

"So fast?"

A middle-aged military general with a thick body and gleaming eyes punched the table with his fist and stood up suddenly.

"Superintendent, just give the order for the brothers to withdraw eastward!"

"Li Rusong died a long time ago. The Li family has already declined in Li Shizhong's generation. This Li Shunzu has been serving as the Fusi of Nanzhen for many years. He has no great achievements and only has a false name. He cannot make much waves in the army!"

This person was Zu Dashou, a general of the Liao Army who led the forward troops stationed on the Jinzhou front line. Wu Sangui, who would later play a decisive role in the Ming, Shun and Qing Ding Ding battles, was his nephew.

The Zu family is also the number one general in Liaodong who has risen up after the decline of the Li family.

The situation suddenly changed, and all the Yuan and Liao generals in the tent were also shocked. They started talking involuntarily and looked at the officer.
