Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 46 The Ming Dynasty Warrior
Outside Jinzhou City, the wind blowing late at night was very cold, clusters of bonfires were burning brightly, sparks flew up from time to time, and the camp was quiet under the stars.

Temporarily set up the main account.

"Chen Shuai, the conflict between Zhejiang Barracks and Shizhu Soldiers needs to be mediated as soon as possible."

Tong Zhongkui looked solemn, frowned and looked at Chen Ce and said: "We were ordered to go to Beijing from Liao Qian, and there were several conflicts along the way. Qin Bangping and Qi Jin not only did not restrain their subordinates, but on the contrary, they acquiesced in such incidents. If the situation remains the same after entering Shanhaiguan, I really can’t imagine whether there will be a mutiny. If there is a mutiny and a military rebellion breaks out in the Gyeonggi area, even if we are ordered to return to the capital, I’m afraid..."

"What Tong Shuai said, how could someone not know."

Chen Ce sighed lightly, frowned and said, "The grievances between the Zhe army camp and the Shizhu soldiers were settled when they were temporarily stationed in Tongzhou to rest when they went to Liao to help them. Many people were killed and injured on both sides of the conflict. I want to mediate their disputes." The contradiction is not as simple as talking about it, not to mention that during the period of stationing in Liaoqian, the allocation of food and salaries was not timely. Whether these Sichuan soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers, or Tusi soldiers were full of resentment in their hearts.

The most urgent task at the moment is to rush to the capital as quickly and steadily as possible. The new emperor has assumed the throne as emperor according to his posthumous decree and has issued an edict ordering us to go to the capital. This cannot be delayed under any circumstances. "

The atmosphere in the tent became subtle.

Tong Zhongkui didn't say a word. It was a good thing that Chen Ce didn't talk about this matter. But when it came to this matter, Tong Zhongkui didn't quite understand why the emperor wanted to send them back to the capital from Liaoqian.

Recalling the experience of leading the army to aid Liao, especially after rushing to Liaoqian, Tong Zhongkui was full of worries and worries about what he saw.

The military equipment is slack, the guards are corrupt, the Liao people are unstable, the establishment of captives is rampant, there are many factions, food prices are driving up, and people's hearts are not in harmony...

If there was no Liaodong manager Xiong Tingbi, who could make adjustments and maneuvers based on the situation, in the environment where Tieling, Kaiyuan and other places were occupied by the rebels, it is feared that whether the Liao left front line would be stable or not would be a matter that no one would dare to make a conclusion about.

"What is Tong Shuai thinking?"

Seeing that Tong Zhongkui was silent, Chen Ce spoke.

"Someone can't figure it out."

Tong Zhongkui raised his eyebrows upside down, pondered for a moment, glanced outside the tent, and then looked at Chen Ce, "The current situation in Liaozuo has finally stabilized. The rampant Jianlu has temporarily stopped, and the new king has just ascended to the great treasure. How about I lead my troops back to the capital before leaving Liao?

Although there are many troops stationed on the left front of Liao, the frontier guards, Liao guest troops, guard soldiers, and local bravery, there are very few people who really dare to speak to Jianlu.

Even if I lead the army to aid Liao, I haven't fought against Jianlu, but I stay in the Liaoqian area. If Jianlu dares to make any changes, then I can fight quickly, but now I leave from Liaoqian to return to the imperial court. Beijing, just in case, on our way to Beijing, Jianlu confronted Liaoqian..."

"Tong Shuai be careful!"

Chen Ce frowned and interrupted: "You can just say these words in front of someone, it's just a way of venting, but you must not say these words in front of others.

In particular, civilian officials must not know about it. Once they learn of such remarks, Tong Shuai will definitely be impeached, and he will regret it later. "

Tong Zhongkui clenched his drooping hands.

The political ethos of the Ming Dynasty, which is rich in civil and military, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even a military general of the rank of chief military officer, when facing civilian officials, even if his rank is much lower than himself, when it is time to bow his head, he must bow his head , Otherwise, an impeachment memorandum is submitted to Beijing, saying a few words of conspiracy and self-willed words, even if you don't die, you will lose your skin.

When Tong Zhongkui led the army to aid Liao Dynasty, he had experienced too much of this birdishness, but even so, Tong Zhongkui could only hold it in his heart.

"Actually, there is something that has been in my mind for a long time."

Seeing Tong Zhongkui suppressing his anger, Chen Ce hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Has Tong Shuai thought about it, the new king summoned me to lead his troops back to Beijing, is it because he wants to understand the situation before the Liao Dynasty? After all, Jianlu's wolf ambition, The new king is the first great treasure..."

"Chen Shuai meant to say, does the new ruler intend to put an end to the Jianlu rebellion?"

Tong Zhongkui frowned slightly and said: "If that's the case, why did you let me wait to lead the army to Beijing? Wouldn't it be more convenient to call me to Beijing alone?"

"Then what if Xinjun knows something about the Liao land?"

Chen CE asked back: "Hasn't Tong Shuai thought about it, Shizhu soldiers and Youyang soldiers are both chieftain soldiers, why did the new emperor order Qin Bangping to lead his troops to go to Beijing alone, instead of letting Ran Tianyin's troops do like this?

In the same way, when the Shizhu soldiers and the Zhe army battalion made a lot of trouble in Tongzhou, why did the new king call Qi Jin's troops from Liaoqian to Beijing?
I have been thinking about this all the time, is it possible that the new king wants to train the new army, but there are not many generals and schools that can be mobilized in the court, so..."

"It's not impossible."

Tong Zhongkui thought of something, "Chen Shuai still remembers what Xiong Jinglue said before?"

"How can I not remember?"

Chen Ce frowned and said, "Because of this sentence, many Liao generals and many Liao soldiers more or less rejected Xiong Jinglue.

However, I feel that Xiong Jinglue's words are not necessarily false.

The time I waited before the Liao Dynasty was not too short. You can see the performance of some Liao generals. It's a pity that there are people behind these guys. Know. "

Tong Zhongkui snorted coldly, and said with cold eyes: "After leading the troops back to Beijing this time, if you are lucky enough to be summoned by the emperor, if the emperor mentions this matter, you must make it clear to the emperor.

The situation of the imperial court in Liao was so difficult. Even in order to suppress the rebellion of the rebels, regain the lost territory, and avenge the athletes who died in the battle, the imperial court dispatched many teams and spent how much food, but there were always some people who did not care about this. Showing indifference means enjoying yourself when you should and being greedy for ink when you should.

If we look at this trend, even if Xiong Jinglue knows much about Liao affairs, it may be very difficult for him to be held back by such a group of guys and to curb the momentum of building a captive army. "

"It's better not to say so early."

Chen Ce waved his hand and interrupted: "We should lead our troops to the capital as soon as possible. We have only arrived at Jinzhou City now. Before some conflicts erupt completely, we should return to Beijing as soon as possible. As long as we can reach the capital, I firmly believe that the new king will definitely Allocate food and salaries, and the accumulated grievances will dissipate at that time."

Tong Zhongkui nodded and didn't say anything else. Just like Chen Ce said, it's useless to think about it now. First, he will bring all the troops under his command from Liao to the capital smoothly. There will be no mutiny or looting during the march. , that is when the hanging heart has dropped. Tong Zhongkui simply cannot imagine what they will experience if there is a mutiny or robbery during this period. This is the current situation of the Ming Dynasty army.
