A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 432 Power Instinct
The matter of Xu Yue'e is a sensitive topic on the East Road, the generals pretended not to know about it, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not talk about it.

In private, all the generals are worried, will this woman bring bad luck to the general?Only Qin Yi, who praised the painting in the Central Military Department, didn't take it seriously, thinking that Zi's nonsense and power were strange, and the ominous talk was pure nonsense.He believed that if the general took over this woman, Donglu would have another helping hand, which would be beneficial for future planning.

Wang Dou led the army all the way to the north. When they entered Baoding Mansion, Yang Wenyue, Governor of Baoding, Xu Biao, Governor of Baoding, and Hu Dawei, the commander in chief, came out to meet Wang Dou.

In terms of military position, Wang Dou is the general who conquered the captives, but he is actually the general who conquered the left, because the Liaodong general has the seal of "the former general who conquered the captives", and Hu Dawei is the former general who conquered the west, and he is equal to Wang Dou.

However, Wang Dou is the uncle, at this time he is an earl, and the titles of Daming are all super-level existences, isn't it no small matter?Even Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, had to bow to the right for two bows when he saw Wang Dou, and Wang Dou could just bow to the left.

Of course, many Gonghou Bos are superficially handsome. If they don't have real power in their hands, many military leaders and governors will not take them seriously.

However, everyone knows how to do this obvious etiquette, especially civil officials of the Ming Dynasty who are famous for their etiquette.

Besides, Wang Dou has a strong army in his hands, and the world has his eyesight, no one wants to offend him unnecessarily!
When he saw Hu Dawei, Wang Dou was very happy. He and Hu Dawei had a friendship from fighting side by side in Julu.What's more, in Zhenbao Town, Hu Dawei took good care of Han Chao and Xu Yue'e?Hu Dawei was equally happy. The former little friend became a world-renowned loyal uncle and general who conquered captives. Although his thoughts were a bit complicated, everyone could see the meaning of being happy for Wang Dou.

Hu Dawei imitated Wang Dou and also organized two battalions of new troops. Governor Yang Wenyue of Baoding is vigorously training the car battalion. If it is matched with Hu Dawei's cavalry and new troops, it will be quite sharp.

Of course, the cost of the car camp is high and the movement is slow, which is also one of the disadvantages.

Back then, Wang Dou used chariot camps, but after the cavalry matured, they seldom used them.

Wang Dou stayed in Baoding Fucheng for one night, Yang Wenyue and others wanted to make friends with Wang Dou, and Wang Dou also had the same intention, and the host and guest were happy for a while.

After leaving Baoding Fucheng, Wang Dou led the army to Laishui.

……

That day, the Laishui garrison hall was full of laughter, not only Han and North Korea, but also Wang Dou's generals who accompanied the army this time, Xie Yike, Wen Fangliang, Sun Sanjie, Wen Daxing, Li Guangheng, Zhao Xuan, Gao Shiyin, Wu Zhengchun, Shen Shiqi, Gao Xun, Chi Dacheng and others, all present.

Wang Dou ordered a big banquet, and everyone could eat and drink freely. It had been a long time since the general had such a relaxed and happy banquet without distinction of rank, and everyone was happy for a while.

Knowing that Wang Dou likes snacks from all over the world, Han Chao knows that Wang Dou likes snacks from all over the world, so the dishes served are all Laishui’s special diets, such as fat sheep hot pot, fresh fish hot pot, braised pork knuckle, chicken stew, farm intestines, large barrels of dense mushroom soup, etc., served on a large plate Dumplings, large sesame seed cakes with meat, made everyone hooked.

Wen Fangliang ate the sesame seed cakes with meat beautifully, while scooping up fresh fish soup, he breathed out comfortably, and said with a smile to Han Chao: "It's a pity, old Han, that you didn't eat Xinye's pan mee, it's also a must. .”

Han Chao has a calm personality and is quite scheming. After seeing him for a while, he became more calm.At this time, he smiled slightly, and joked: "Old Wen, why did you study food instead? Aren't you the best at provoking little ladies?"

Not far from Han Chao, Xie Yike, Gao Shiyin, and Shen Shiqi were sitting. The three of them looked about the same.Gao Shiyin held a braised elbow in one hand, and two large pancakes in the other, and took a bite from the left and another from the right.

Shen Shiqi was also holding a huge elbow, gnashing his teeth, his eyes staring straight.

Xie Yike would be better, grabbing a large piece of mutton and eating bitterly, and while eating, he was careful not to let the oil stains get on his mustache.

At this time, after listening to Han Chao's words, the three of them laughed together, their walking posture was almost the same, and even their laughing faces were quite alike.

Seeing their smiles, if there are children here, they will surely cry.

Wen Fangliang pointed at the three of them and scolded: "You three crab generals, you laugh so deeply!"

He shook his head and sighed: "People don't flirt with young people, even though I am no longer a young man... It is said that wake up and take power in the world, drunk lying on the knees of beauties...Of course, wake up and take power in the world is about generals, like me, as long as drunk and lying beauties The knee is fine."

In fact, he is extremely shrewd, decisive, and wise, but his appearance is slippery and cynical. People who don't know him think he is a playboy.

Shen Shiqi smiled and said, "Of course Mr. Wen Qian's beauty goes without saying..."

He turned to Wang Dou at the top, as if he wanted to show a flattering expression, but the flesh on his face was shaking constantly, but it was more scary than crying.

He said flatteringly: "In terms of beauty, you should be the number one general in the world, and the second wife is the number one beauty on the East Road... Cough, the number one beauty in the world, isn't she the general Guixin? The last general is far inferior!"

Wang Dou pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "You boy, you flatter me like you're going to cry, so don't do it."

Everyone burst into laughter again, Shen Shiqi just scratched his head and smirked, he looked like Gao Shiyin, but his personality was more violent, but in front of Wang Dou, he was as docile as a kitten.

Afterwards, everyone laughed and talked, quite relaxed and comfortable. During the banquet, Chi Dacheng sat alone with a blank expression on his face. The seat is still sitting firmly.

Sun Sanjie spoke softly with Zhao Xuan and Wu Zhengchun. He was rough-looking, but his voice was like that of a small boy, and he was often snickered by others. Although many people didn't mean it, they didn't intend to hurt his sensitive heart.Wu Zhengchun was silent and gentle, Zhao Xuan only cared about his cannon, and the three of them chatted even more.

Gao Xun was a bit aloof, but he and Li Guangheng had more in common, discussing the use of cavalry or battle formations in a low voice from time to time.

After the banquet, all the people had tea in the hall, each of them went to the headquarters, and the soldiers of the Chinese army were also seated. Han reported to Wang Dou about the Laishui incident.

The A Division he led, located in Laishui, only suppressed bandits, did not care about civil affairs, and did not disturb the people. Therefore, the army and the people lived in peace, and the gentry praised them, and they always did their best to work hard.He made friends with officials and generals in Zijingguan, Zhenbiancheng, Yanhekou and other places, and got good results.After being infiltrated and bought, the officials and generals have servants, and even many of them are disguised as soldiers of the Shun Township Army.

Wang Dou nodded, not to conflict with the local generals and gentry for the time being, the effect is obvious, Laishui and other places, it is considered that Lao Lao is in his own hands.Moreover, there is no banditry in the local area, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Although there are as many levies and miscellaneous taxes, the people continue to go bankrupt, but compared to other places, it is much better.

Moreover, as soon as there are refugees, they are sent to the land on the east road. Laishui gives people a sense of clarity under the rule.

Yang Wenyue, governor of Baoding, appreciated this, and tried his best to make up for the Korean Ministry of food and salaries that the imperial court had withdrawn.Of course, these grains and salaries were all transported into the land of the East Road, and the grain and grass needed by Department A were then pulled out from the East Road.

Although Hu Dawei knew what was going on, he kept silent and didn't say anything clearly.

Moreover, the Han Dynasty also reported that not long ago, the imperial court used General Zhenshuo and Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, for his meritorious service in military training, and his prince Shaobao.Ma Guoxi, the soldier of the East Road, was well-governed, and he also sent a decree to commend him.In addition, Chen Jiugao, the general soldier behind the mausoleum, has already settled in Liugou, Chadao, Yulin and other cities.

Wang Dou's eyes were deep. In fact, he had known these news a long time ago, and he kept in touch with him all the time through the East Road.Even if it is thousands of miles away, things on the east road cannot escape his eyes.

Wen Fangliang said: "General, the imperial court clearly rewards Yang Guozhu and others, but secretly, it is not without the intention of checking and balancing the general."

Qin Yi, who praised the painting, said: "Students think that the imperial court did not deliberately target the general. This is a kind of instinctive defense. However, the East Road is a shallow place where the dragon rests in the abyss. It is necessary to capture the entire Xuanfu Town in order to have a brighter future."

Wang Dou nodded, Yang Guozhu was General Zhenshuo, and in terms of military assignments, he was the general who conquered prisoners, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu Town Regiment, and was still controlled by Yang Guozhu.

The earl sounds good in name, but he has no real power, unless he hangs the seal of "General Conquering Captives".However, it is even more difficult to be named a general than to be named General Zhenshuo.That is the existence of Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and other dukes and marquises.

When it comes to the generals, there is no distinction between Zhen, Zheng, and Ping. Regardless of the generals of Zhenglu, Pinglu, and Zhenshuo, they are all on the same level. Since the Ming Dynasty entered the middle period, only Ma Gui was awarded the title of Wo Da General.There is also Qiu Luan, who was granted the title of General Pinglu, and the crown prince Taibao, who was granted the title of Xianning Waiting, and was honored for a while.

Wang Dou believed that the emperor did not deliberately target himself, it was purely an instinctive reaction of power.It is true from the standpoint of the imperial court, even if Emperor Chongzhen favored him, and the East Road was close in front of him, he would subconsciously take precautions.

But Qin Yi is right, if you want to make a difference, you can't limit yourself to the East Road.

He asked: "Then Chen Jiugao, where did he come from?"

Wen Daxing was in charge of intelligence, he said: "Chen Jiugao, after his honor, he was originally the deputy general of the right battalion of the Sixth Battalion of Shenji, who was in charge of his affairs. "

Wang Dou said, "Okay."

This kind of person is easy to deal with, where is Liugou, a poor army fort, a small mountain village under the township of later generations, at this time the city is only 310 eight feet in circumference, and together with Chadao City and Yulin Fort, it is under the jurisdiction of Nanshan Road, Xuanfu Town, and is dedicated to guarding the capital Mausoleum.

Yu Gui, the original ginseng general of Nanshan Mountain, made good friends with the generals of Donglu, and privately regarded him as a member of Donglu.It's no wonder that Yu Gui would be persuaded by Chen Jiugao's horizontal shot. After being honored, he always has his eyes above the top, so don't fall out with the local guards then.

And from Beijing Huahua World to Nanshan, are you used to living there?So after hearing the information, Wang Douji didn't take this person seriously.

When the army arrived in Laishui, it was actually not far from the east road, because soon they would go to Liaodong. Wang Dou planned to put the artillery and some grain and grass in Laishui. The food for an army of almost ten thousand people in one month was about [-] shi. .

After all, it is quite inconvenient to go back to the east road now, to cross mountains and ridges, pass Juyongguan, cross Badaling, etc., and there is a part of the Jingbian army in Laishui, so there is no need to go back and forth.

The remaining tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass, 30 taels of silver, and horse mules were transported back to the East Road.
