Wanli 1592

Chapter 591

Due to the turmoil and the difficult roads, when Xiao Ruxun received the order to expedite the appointment of the governor-general in the name of the cabinet, it was already seven days later on the 28th of the first lunar month.

At that time, Xiao Ruxun had transferred back 10 soldiers and horses from Yulin and Shanxi in the name of acting as the governor of the four sides, and ordered [-] infantry troops to be stationed in Xinzhou, [-] infantry troops in Taiyuan, [-] infantry troops in Qixian County, and [-] infantry troops in Xiaoyi County. [-] infantry, [-] infantry stationed in Fenzhou, and the remaining [-] cavalry were ordered to go south to Wenquan County southwest of Xiaoyi to join them.

It has to be said that the situation Xiao Ruxun faced was still very serious at that time, because the reason why the soldiers and horses in Yulin and Taiyuan obeyed the order to go south was not because of their status as acting governor, but because of fear.

Everyone knows how Taiyuan was lost. Those guys felt scared because they lost Taiyuan, so they had to withdraw from the front line, for fear that they would become Wang Shiyang's funeral objects or scapegoats.

After they arrived at the current front line against the enemy, they realized that Wang Shiyang had taken all the responsibilities and did not drag anyone to die together. While he was relieved, he also began to relax, and began to obey Xiao Ruxun's military orders.

There are many civilian factions in the Ming Dynasty, and so is the army. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This is for sure. Xiao Ruxun was born in Ningxia. If Ningxia soldiers come, they will naturally respect Xiao Ruxun, because they are their own people, and they feel very cordial .

The frontier army of Xuanfu Datong, the Qi soldiers of Shandong, the southern soldiers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Sichuan soldiers of Sichuan, and the Guangdong soldiers also fought side by side with Xiao Ruxun in the Korean battlefield. After receiving Xiao Ruxun's favor, they will definitely abide by Xiao Ruxun's military orders.

Although the Liaodong soldiers under Li Rusong's command had some disagreements with Xiao Ruxun, but now Li Rusong took the lead in obeying the military orders, and the Liaodong soldiers and Jurchen soldiers naturally also obeyed the military orders.

But other than that, the five towns of Gansu, Yulin, Taiyuan, Jizhen, and Guyuan on the Nine Borders had no contact with Xiao Ruxun and belonged to strangers.

In the army of the Ming Dynasty, strangers are opposites. Don’t say where you are from. First of all, you are either from your own side or an outsider. Outsiders must be warned. It doesn’t matter how famous you are.

These border towns have their own small hilltops, and they are nested all day long, but they are also united when facing the outside world. People in this town are wary of those in that town, people in that town are wary of those in this town, and they are wary of each other.

This is the case even in the border towns of Yulin, Taiyuan, Xuanda, not to mention Xiao Ruxun, who was born in Ningxia Town in the northwest border.

Although you are famous and have achieved brilliant results, you are not one of us, so we just can't listen to you, or you will harm us.

This is already habitual thinking.

Furthermore, although you, Xiao Ruxun, are well-known, you, the governor, are privately handed over, which is not counted. Everyone obeys your order to give Wang Shiyang face, not because of you as the acting governor. Anyway, when the new governor comes, you still have to abdicate, right? ?
Therefore, although these infantry troops were stationed according to Xiao Ruxun's order, the [-] cavalry ordered to go to Wenquan Town had problems.

They came, but they stopped fifteen miles northeast of Wenquan Town and stopped moving forward. The cavalry from Taiyuan Town and the cavalry from Yulin Town were divided into two groups and stopped to rest. The military order turned a deaf ear to it, refused to obey it, and repeatedly prevaricated.

Dong Yikui, the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan, had died in battle before. Wang Shiyang urgently transferred Dong Yikui's younger brother Dong Yiyuan to succeed him as the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan. Under the leadership of Wei Wei, he stood firm.

When the war broke out, Dayun, the chief soldier of Yulin, had just been transferred away. When Wang Shiyang's order to transfer troops came, Yulin Town led tens of thousands of Yulin frontier troops to Taiyuan with Wang Wei, the deputy chief soldier, as the chief soldier.

Wang Wei's desire for merit in order to secure his position as the commander-in-chief of Yulin was the reason why Wang Wei took the initiative to attack the north, which resulted in the loss of Taiyuan and the collapse of the war situation. Next, Wang Wei certainly didn't dare to step forward casually.

The soldiers and horses in Taiyuan Town also thought the same way. They felt ashamed in their hearts, and they were afraid that Xiao Ruxun would do something, so the two soldiers and horses stopped here and refused to go forward, which made Xiao Ruxun very annoyed.

Xiao Ruxun is not Wang Shiyang, and he doesn't plan to do anything about the previous incident. After all, Wang Shiyang has taken full responsibility. Xiao Ruxun still wants to use these troops to counterattack northward. He obviously called them over with good intentions to share some credit for them. In the end, Taiyuan He and Yulin's soldiers and horses don't know good from bad!

He has already besieged the last 2 soldiers and horses of the northern captives in Wenquan Town. As long as he brought the army, he immediately ordered a general attack. It is difficult to do it with a force of [-] people.

Xiao Ruxun was quite annoyed that a good heart was treated like a donkey's liver and lungs.

"Give them another order! In the name of the acting governor! If they continue to shrink back, they will be punished for the crime of cowardice!"

Xiao Ruxun sent another group of messengers.

To be honest, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation after fighting in the army for so many years. The ones I encountered before were either Li Rusong who kept ordering and only wanted to fight, who would obey after a stick, or a group of dragons without a leader. If you are defeated, you can directly win people's hearts.

But these guys have an organization and a team, with a complete system, advancing and retreating at the same time, and the governor is acting as an agent in the end, probably these generals don’t think that the imperial court will really hand over the position of governor to themselves, and there will definitely be new ones in the future. Civil servants came to take over, so they didn't really take themselves seriously.

Moreover, I was born in Ningxia Town, and the previous battles did not give them any favors. It was not unexpected that the soldiers and horses of these two towns ignored me.

It's just that the battle situation is tense now, and Xiao Ruxun is anxiously waiting to get rid of the last Beilu army. You must know that the culprit of the Beilu's southward march that he hates with gnashing teeth, the king of Shunyi, Chalik, is besieged in Wenquan Town, and he is still waiting to kill it. The northern prisoner captured Lalik alive and offered it to the emperor, but these guys actually flinched!
"Bastard!"

After being prevaricated again, Xiao Ruxun was eating, and after hearing the news, he smashed the rice bowl in his hand to the ground.

He just felt a black emotion spreading in his heart.

Li Rusong at the side really couldn't stand it anymore, but he also understood why Xiao Ruxun had to wait for the army to be ready before going out to fight.

Because it would be a pity if Lalik, a big fish, was let go, so he would definitely not fight easily unless he was in a safe state.

But the soldiers and horses in Yulin and Taiyuan were too much.

You are called to share the military exploits and you don't come!

"Admiral, why don't you just ask the last general to lead the troops to capture those two chief soldiers, take over the military power directly, and then beat him up! How can you miss the opportunity for those two cowardly rats?"

Xiao Ruxun frowned and sighed.

"After all, I am only an admiral. There is no imperial edict. They don't recognize this so-called acting governor. They don't believe that I will be the governor. They all came here because they were afraid of being implicated by Wang Shiyang. They wanted to inquire about the news, but now Of course, my orders are obedient and obedient, and I will prevaricate if I can."

Li Rusong said in dissatisfaction: "Aren't we just waiting for that Governor Bird who doesn't know who to come to pick peaches? We finally caught up with Beilu and surrounded him here. This is due to our brothers, and it is superfluous to distribute it to those idiots." That’s right, how can the governor who doesn’t know who it is be able to take advantage of?”
