The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 640
This time and that time!Little do they know that Huang Han is not what he used to be. Once he has the power in his hands, he is determined to carry out his orders, and he no longer needs to compromise with corrupt officials.

The Banner Guard organization is becoming more and more mature, and its tentacles are everywhere. The chief military officer stationed in the northern Zhili border, such as Chao Pichang, has long been found out.

Huang Han has always paid attention to intelligence collection, based on the intelligence analysis of the generals above the guerrilla level of the Ming Dynasty, focusing on the former Guanning Army and the generals of Dongjiang Town.

Followed by Taiyuan Town, Denglai, Xuanda, Tianjinwei, Changping, and Baoding, paying special attention to the generals stationed in Gyeonggi.

At the beginning of his tenure, Huang Han took the time to find out the intelligence analysis and comments on the generals in Tianjin. He was amused to see that it was Chao Pichang, the commander-in-chief who was judged to be a scum by the banner guards, the first to jump out.

Huang Han smiled and said: "Very well, I guess there are not a few generals who have the idea of ​​Chao Zongbing. In principle, I agree to transfer the generals who refuse to implement the 'Red Banner Army' law.

I give everyone three days to think about it, but Mr. Chao is notorious, how can he just walk away?He needs to pass the interrogation of Jin Yiwei. "

As soon as Huang Han's voice fell, the eunuch Cheng Quan, the supervising army, said in a sharp voice: "After investigation, Chao Pichang, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, embezzled money and embezzled the army's salary in vain, resulting in a shortage of [-]% of the soldiers and horses under his command. Come on! Take it!" That guy carefully asked where all the money and food went!"

Fang Jingcheng, the supervising eunuch with overwhelming strength, is also the most junior eunuch. He is actually Fang Zhenghua's godson, and he has long been determined to work hard with the general Zhenglu.

At this time, he personally led a dozen school captains in flying fish suits and rushed forward, directly locked Chao Pichang, and dragged him outside.

Chao Pichang was furious, dragging the iron chain with both hands and yelling: "I am not guilty, I am not convinced, I am a first-rank military officer in the dynasty, I ask the supervising army to make the decision and hand it over to the holy judge..."

Zheng Zhihui should be the most senior eunuch among the seven eunuchs who oversee the army. He said loudly:

"The general Zhenglu carries the emperor's sword and hangs the seal of the general. He has the power of life and death. Civilian and military generals, including the ministers of the supervising army, can beheaded first and then played. Naturally, Jin Yiwei can ask whether you are guilty, and drag them out for detailed torture."

The captain of Jinyiwei who made the move was furious, punched and kicked, and got Chao Pichang out like a dead dog.

The sound of begging for mercy came from a distance, it was Chao Pichang, who had already given up, begging the general to forgive him.

Many civil servants and military generals whispered that there had been no general in this dynasty for a long time to go out with the seal of a general. It seemed that the emperor was determined this time to let the Duke of Liao rule the army with an iron fist.

Seeing the usually domineering commander in chief being dragged away, many Tianjin guard generals couldn't help but tremble in their calves.

Jin Yiwei was still handling the case, and several generals of Tianjin Wei were also taken down shortly after.

Unfamiliar?Do you have capital?As long as they are serious, except for the civilian and military generals of the "Red Banner Army" system, most other officials can be accused of withholding food and wages.

Because under the family system of Ming Dynasty, how could it afford to support dozens or hundreds of private soldiers loyal to the general—the family team?

Besides, the Tianjin Chao Zongbing who jumped out was a traitor in history, and it happened to be used at this time to make an example of him.

Huang Han slowly pulled out Shang Fang's sword, looked around and said: "The era of withholding military pay to support servants is gone forever with this lord, and I only have the 'Red Banner Army' with the same heart and mind as the general.

In the future, the troops of Dongjiang Town, Denglai, and Tianjin Wei will also be the "Red Banner Army", and all soldiers will be treated equally.

You generals, don't make mistakes, choose to follow me at this time. In the past, I always let the past go. When the army like a family takes North Korea and Liaodong, it is no problem to seal my wife Yinzi. "

Huang Han's gaze stayed in the direction of the generals in Dongjiang Town, then he stared closely at Mao Chenglu's eyes, and then said: "General Mao Chenglu, if you still insist on being transferred, I will let you go immediately.

Don't worry, I promise that Jin Yiwei will not make things difficult for you. After all, you have made outstanding achievements in bloody battles and founding slaves. "

Mao Chenglu immediately understood that General Zhenglu was blatantly letting him stand in line.

He was overjoyed in his heart. From this, it seems that he is still a person in the eyes of General Zhenglu, and it feels good to be looked up to by others. Mao Chenglu no longer worries about gains and losses, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted:

"It's rare for the general to remember some minor achievements. The general is willing to accept reorganization and give up all his servants. He just wants to follow the general to perish, build slaves and pacify Liaodong and make immortal contributions."

Huang Han smiled and nodded, then looked at Shang Keyi.

Shang Keyi was more straightforward, knelt down with a plop, and said loudly: "The last general will be a member of the 'Red Banner Army' from now on, loyal to Daming and loyal to the Great General!"

The two well-known generals in Dongjiang Town gave their attitudes, and then Shang Kejin, Shen Shikui, Li Weiluan, Xiang Zuolin, and other generals all expressed their obedience to the reorganization and voluntarily became the generals of the "Red Banner Army".

Although everyone would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, no one can stop the "Red Banner Army" from annexing Dongjiang Town under such circumstances.

Huanglong chose to compromise, and Shi Li stated that he would obey the reorganization.

In fact, Huanglong's embezzlement of military pay in history was used to support his family members, and the family had no property at all. That was because the situation in Dongjiang Town was dangerous after Mao Wenlong's death.

The food and salaries received by Dongjiang Town were pitifully small, and if Huang Long favored one person over another, he was of course unpopular in Dongjiang Town, only Shang Kexi, Shang Keyi, Li Weiluan and a few old Dongjiang Town generals had a good relationship with him.

Historically, Huanglong had a tragic ending. His wife, children, and mother were killed by Kong Youde, and his home in Dengzhou was destroyed.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, everyone was supposed to be corrupt for the generals, but we have to divide the problem into two parts. First of all, we need to look at where the food and wages of their greedy ink went?
Are you living a life of luxury and lust?Is it because the rogues called to surrender to the rogues, and the Jian slaves called and became traitors again?

It is obvious that Huang Long is not such a person. He is living a miserable life. His old mother, wife and children were captured by the rebels and threatened him to surrender.

Huang Han sincerely believes that those who are willing to die to serve the country are not greedy people, so seeing Huang Long's statement that he would obey the reorganization, he made a high-profile statement that he was still appointed as the general officer of Dongjiang Town.

There are not many troops in Tianjin Wei and Denglai, and their fighting power is not worth mentioning compared to Dongjiang Town. Now Chao Pichang, the highest official, has been arrested by Jin Yiwei, and the rest of the generals who dare to disobey the Duke of Liao have to express their acceptance reorganization.

The trend of the times, Huang Han believes that under the overwhelming force advantage of the "Red Banner Army" and under the premise that he has the righteousness of the court, there will be any possibility that the reform and reorganization of the army will not proceed.
