Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 53 Entering Luanzhou
Wu Weiying, the Gongshun Marquis, and Li Hongji, the Linzhun Marquis, were both famous and powerful sons in the capital, and they were also joined by lords. In the past, they were always chased and flattered by a group of people whether they were in the capital camp or out for fun.

How had they ever suffered such humiliation, having their pants ripped open in public and beaten with twenty military sticks?
These twenty soldiers were beaten firmly with sticks, and there was no mercy at all, because these troops from various places who came to Qinwang were at odds with the local troops in the capital. They were repeatedly blocked in doing things, and they couldn't stand each other.

For Ma Shilong, this is also good.

What he considered was nothing more than to expel Dongnu from the capital as soon as possible, so controlling the generals at hand was the most important thing. He punished Gongshunhou and Linzhunhou, and also dealt with the noble sons of the capital camp who came to join the army. A deterrent.

But for Li Shunzu, this is not a good thing.

The reason why Gongshun Hou Wu Weiying and Lin Zhun Hou Li Hongji were late was because of the sugar-coated cannonballs he had set for them yesterday. They were waiting for him at the martial arts field, and later went to deal with the lost horses and provisions in Taipus Temple. .

Obviously, they still have to bear this debt on their own heads.

Li Shunzu looked at the two people who entered the account again. They were supporting each other, and their eyes were full of hatred.

But in front of everyone, they didn't say anything harsh.

Li Shunzu didn't care about these threats, because even if these things hadn't happened today, as long as he was still in the capital, these powerful children would not let him go.

"Du Xian!"

"The Tuanshan camp is in trouble!"

A soldier from the Supervisor Biao Camp rushed into the tent and suddenly reported: "Report to the Supervisor, Ningyuan Tuanshan Camp is making trouble and has detained the Imperial Pay Officer and Grain Officer. Now he is gathering people to cause trouble in the camp, saying that he will rush in." In the capital, let’s seek an explanation from His Majesty!”

"What a fool! He Kegang, how did you lead the troops!"

Ma Shilong cursed angrily, which made Li Shunzu perk up.

In just a moment, I understood why Ma Shilong was more popular in the army than Liu Ce.

Liu Ce was a civil servant and had a refined temperament. In the eyes of the generals and soldiers, he clearly refused to give up and did not regard them as his own. The more Liu Ce behaved, the more he behaved, the more he was criticized by the military. The disdain in.

On the contrary, Ma Shilong was scolded even more harshly than his subordinates when something happened.

If it were outside, this might be due to poor quality, but in the army at this moment, from the perspective of Li Shunzu's subordinates, it sounded more pleasant to the ears, and he inadvertently regarded Ma Shilong as one of his own.

"He Kegang, Tuanshan Camp is under your jurisdiction, get out of here and quell the chaos!"

Hearing this, a general of the Liao army with medium build and fair face came out. He was the third-ranking figure in the Liao army after Man Gui and Zu Dashou. He Kegang was the commander of the Central Army of Ning Yuandao and the capital of Liaodong.

Li Shunzu looked over and found the difference between this man and the other Liao generals.

The rest of the Liaodong generals were generally tall and thick-set, and looked capable of fighting well. He Kegang was different. Although he was wearing armor, his figure was slightly thinner than others, and he did not have the temperament of a fierce general.

There was a disturbance in the Liao army, and all the generals in the tent made any noise.

Although people like Wang Pu were also frontier troops, they had always been dissatisfied that the Liao army had monopolized the credit for the victory at Yongding Gate. When they heard that the Tuanshan camp was making a fuss about pay, they naturally wanted to make the fuss even bigger. They stood aside and talked with Ma Ke. The others sneered again and again.

Liu Zeqing, the soldiers and horses who came from the mainland to serve the King of Qin, all had the same view on the frontier army. Although they knew that the frontier army could fight, they were also dissatisfied with the fact that the frontier army's daily food and salary were several times that of them, and they acted as if it had nothing to do with them. look like.

Logically speaking, if something happens to one of his subordinates, He Kegang will be the most flustered.

But he was the calmest one visible to the naked eye among the generals present.

He stood up and said unhurriedly: "Tuanshanying is Biaoxia's old department. Biaoxia is responsible for quelling the chaos. Since it is a riot, just pay enough food. Therefore, Biaoxia has to ask Du Xian for it." one person."

Ma Shilong already knew who he was talking about, so he looked to one side.

"Li Shunzu, are you willing to go with us?"

Li Shunzu estimated that He Kegang was probably interested in the food and wages he had brought, and wanted him to take people to him first so that his subordinates could have a small meal at Tuanshan Camp. There was nothing to say at the moment.

After this series of events, Li Shunzu felt that these war horses and food and wages were better used on the Liao army, and it would be a waste to give them to the Qinwang troops in various places.

So he took a step forward, stepped forward and said loudly: "I'm willing to go!"

He Kegang and Li Shunzu left the camp one after another, and a group of Shenshu camp generals, including Yu Kuan, Xiong Xinghu and others, also followed behind them.

The group mounted their horses and within half an hour arrived at Tuanshan Camp's station at Yongdingmen.

Only then did Li Shunzu realize that this was not about making money, it was clearly acting!

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting!

Although the Tuanshan camp was in chaos, there was no murderous atmosphere. The Liao soldiers surrounded the grain officers of the Pay Department, talking and laughing, which was completely different from the mutiny of Guanning Army in Guangqumen that day.

Seeing He Kegang's return, the soldiers of Tuanshan Camp immediately mounted their horses, swept away their relaxed demeanor, and ran out of the barracks like lightning.The first general, Ningyuan, stepped forward to salute the two of them with crossed arms.

"Du Si, everything has been arranged."

"This grain officer must not dare to say more."

"Who is this?"

He Kegang smiled slightly and said: "This is Li Xunwei, the Ningyuan Bo who I often mention, who helped our Liao army clear his name and regained the Yongding Gate's military exploits. From now on, when you see him, treat him as if you were seeing me."

When the general heard this, his face immediately became solemn and he shouted loudly: "I have seen Li Xunwei!"

Afterwards, many commanders and commanders from Tuanshan camp also gathered around.

"I have long heard that there is such an angel in the imperial court who can pray for us, and I finally meet him!"

"Li Xunwei is here, and the war horses and food are ready. It seems there is no need to worry!"

Li Shunzu was still confused and turned to look at He Kegang.

The latter laughed loudly and pulled Li Shunzu into the Tuanshan camp.

The reason why Tuanshan camp is located far away from the military camps is for convenience.

The Grain Officer of the Pay Department also received hush money from the Liao army and cooperated in this drama.

"As Li Xunwei has seen, this is all Du Xian's order. In order for my brothers from the Liao Army to get back all the horses and provisions brought by Li Xunwei, Du Xian went through many twists and turns."

"The salary issue is a lie. Bring Li Xunwei and transport all the horses and grain from Taipu Temple to the army during the promotion period. This is the real thing."

Li Shunzu had been suspecting this just now, and he suddenly realized it when he heard this.

It seems that although Ma Shilong was nominally the governor of King Zhulu Qin's army, he actually stood with Sun Chengzong and was the governor of the Liao army.

"I see, but this batch of supplies was originally brought by me from the capital camp to be distributed to the brothers of the Liao Army. Wouldn't it be redundant to act like this?"

He Kegang sighed after hearing this and said: "It's not superfluous at all. Nowadays, soldiers and horses in various towns seem to be gathered together, but in fact they have different thoughts. If we talk about competing for credit and food, they are all good players. If we talk about quelling military chaos and taking on the troubles, they are all good players." They are responsible for it, but they hide far away."

"If we don't do it like this, we will inevitably be in trouble in the future. If His Majesty asks about it when he returns to the court, our Liao army officers and soldiers will all say the same thing. They will only say that there was a riot in the Tuanshan camp today, and it was Li Xunwei who brought the supplies from Taipu Temple to quell the rebellion."

As he said that, He Kegang looked at the fat grain officer who was wearing a blue official uniform and standing in the military camp.

"As for the Grain Officer of the Pay Division, he will submit a memorial afterwards, saying that the three generals of our regiment's mountain camp gathered the soldiers to pay, and I will let them change their names and continue to stay in the army. There will be no problems. "

"In this case, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

After hearing these inside stories, Li Shunzu dismounted and sat on the ground, also patting his head.

"I didn't expect that there would be such overt and covert fighting in this army!"

He Kegang's face showed a hint of hatred when he heard this, and he sneered: "There is nothing you can do. You have been in charge of Lijia in Liaodong for more than thirty years, but when the late emperor left, you lost the reputation of being a self-respecting bandit. What will be the final result of fighting for the country? You can see it all."

"What you do is actually just to protect yourself!"

Li Shunzu's eyes lit up, "According to this, He Dusi knows about my Li family's affairs?"

He Kegang laughed and waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter if we don't talk about it, it's all old news. In the future, Li Xunwei will have the opportunity to take up a post in Ningyuan. It's impossible even if he doesn't want to know about these secrets. Let's talk about it then."

"Well, that's what I have to do."

Li Shunzu asked no more questions and turned around to signal Shenshu Camp to start delivering supplies.

As the war horses and carts of military provisions were transported to the Liao army camps through the hands of the regiment's mountain camp, a violent gong sound suddenly sounded in the military camps in the distance, which obviously meant that the account promotion had ended.

About half an hour later, a fast horse arrived.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, Governor of the Constitution, to issue an order!"

"Instruct He Kegang, the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, and Li Shunzu, the governor of the capital camp, to lead the Tuanshan camp and the Shenshu camp respectively, galloping day and night to encircle Luanzhou!"
