Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 149 Dongshengwei

Zhang Zongxian was also very puzzled seeing the Jinyiwei's people acting like this.Could it be that the General Military Mansion still has an underground treasury.

Then he saw Eunuch Li enter a room, and Zhang Zongxian followed him in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the jade seal and dragon robe on the table.

It shouldn't be!No one was arranged to do this!Could it be that Yu Nong did it in private?

Then he stepped forward and asked Eunuch Li:
"Dare to ask your father-in-law about this?"

At this time, Eunuch Li's face was full of anger, as if he wanted to eat people.When Zhang Zongxian asked, he cursed directly:

"Today's damned general soldier, his family has received the grace of the country, and he did such a rebellious thing. He privately made the jade seal dragon robe. They are going to rebel!"

The superintendent was also taken aback when he saw the jade seal and dragon robe on the table.Pointing at the jade seal on the table, he was speechless for a long time.

This supervising army is also unlucky. Ren Shang encountered an imperial envoy to investigate the case, no matter what was found?He is a crime of negligence, and now the commander-in-chief wants to rebel under his nose.At this moment, he already felt that his head was in danger!
Zhang Zongxian looked around and saw Jinyiwei all around him, so he whispered to Eunuch Li:
"Eunuch, don't make this matter public! The Wang family has many relatives and friends in Yansui. Let them know that they will be punished by the Nine Clans, but they will rebel."

Hearing what Zhang Zongxian said, the superintendent also reacted, and said quickly:

"Yansui Town has produced a lot of generals over the years, and the disciples of Wang Zongbing are all over the Nine Sides. If word spreads, the Nine Sides will be unstable!"

Eunuch Li panicked when he heard this, and he didn't know what to do. This was the first time he had encountered this, so he could only look at Zhang Zongxian.

In fact, God is helping him. Zhang Zongxian was thinking about how to give up his benefits and trick the generals of Yansui Town to go out of the side wall to fight the Tartars, and now he just took advantage of this matter.

Just waiting for this cheap brother to ask him for help, he pointed to the jade seal on the table and said:
"This matter must not be made public. If the hereditary generals in Yansui Town know about it, they will definitely jump into a mutiny, take the opportunity to kill us, and then destroy the evidence.

After all, this is the great crime of Zhu Jiu Clan, and no one wants to be implicated.If we die, the imperial court can only reprimand them for lax military management, which is much lighter than that of Zhu Jiu Clan.

You must immediately send someone to escort the general soldier's family and these evidence back to Beijing, and ask the emperor to make a decision. As for the governor, he should also immediately escort the family to the capital.

In addition, in order to prevent the generals in Yansui Town from having accomplices, all the frontier troops in Yansui Town should be taken out of the side wall immediately. Recently, Tartars often buckle the side and let them go out of the side wall to fight the Tartars.

As long as these arrogant soldiers go out of the side wall, they will not be afraid of rebelling and destroying the place. "

The superintendent was so frightened that his superintendent unexpectedly rebelled, and he couldn't escape the responsibility.I don't know what to do now?
And it was the first time for Eunuch Li to do such an errand, and he didn't know what to do?He could only listen to Zhang Zongxian, so he followed Zhang Zongxian's words and began to arrange Jinyiwei and prepare prison cars to collect evidence.

Then he walked out of the General Military Mansion with Zhang Zongxian and went to the governor's office.

When governor Hu learned that Zhang Zongxian had become an imperial envoy and led troops to surround the governor's office, he knew that he was over.

At this time, the investigation department has received the order of Zhang Zongxian, and together with the cavalry company, they attacked the governor's office and fed poison to the governor's family, creating the illusion of committing suicide by taking poison.

The suicide of the governor's family made Eunuch Li believe that the governor was also involved in the rebellion.

After receiving the news from the capital, Zhang Zongxian's original arrangement was to kill the general soldier with Shang Fang's sword, and then let the governor commit suicide. Now the general soldier gave him such a big surprise, which made Zhang Zongxian's subsequent plan smoother up.

After handing over the governor's yamen to Jin Yiwei for search, the three of them came to the guarding eunuch to discuss what to do next.
Looking at the two eunuchs with sad faces, Zhang Zongxian laughed out loud in his heart. An resisted his excitement and pretended to be anxious and said:

"You two father-in-laws can't delay any longer. Now everyone in Yansui Town thinks it's an investigation into the theft and sale of military rations. If Wang Zongbing's party finds out that the matter has been exposed, they may rebel. These generals should be summoned immediately. side wall.

As long as we get out of the side wall and all the food and supplies are in our hands, these arrogant soldiers will not be able to cause much trouble. "

The guarding eunuch knew that if these soldiers rebelled, the court would be the first to kill him.Even if these soldiers died outside the side wall, it was better than rebellion.In this way, he has merit.

"Commissioner Zhang Qin is right, but to let these arrogant soldiers go out of the side wall, they have to pay them part of the owed wages. Otherwise, they won't be able to command them!"

"Didn't the imperial court reward Jiubian with a sum of money just now?"

"Zhang Qin sent a reward of only 200 million taels of silver, and it has to be distributed to Jiubian. After leaving the capital, there is not much?"

This gang of worms will not let go of military expenses. After cursing secretly, Zhang Zongxian pretended to frown:
"How much taels of silver do you get, I will give up the thin noodles and borrow them from merchants in Jiazhou."

The military eunuch did some calculations and said:

"If the whole town of Yansui Town is to fight, it will cost at least 20 taels of silver. Food, grass and other weapons must be prepared separately."

Only 20 taels, which is the monthly circulation of Taiping bills.

"That's 20 taels. I will prepare it within three days. I don't need other military equipment, food and grass. I don't really want to go to war. I just take them outside the side wall and wait for the imperial court's order. Eunuch Li, how do you deal with it like this?" ah?"

Eunuch Li hasn't said a word since he entered the town guard's mansion. He originally thought he was helping to investigate a corruption case, but he never expected that there would be a town general who wanted to rebel.At this moment, he was overwhelmed with thoughts and didn't know what to do?
Zhang Zongxian called twice in a row before reacting.

"Then follow the instructions of the imperial envoy."

Zhang Zongxian saw that the cheap brother was still facing him, so he continued:

"Then summon General Zhu immediately so that they can order troops, and send troops to wipe out the Taoist bandits in ten days. For the expedition to the grassland, I will have the imperial envoy and the supervising army to go with Shang Fang's sword.

Eunuch Li stayed in Yulin first while waiting for the emperor's order, and at the same time continued to track down Zongbing Wang's accomplices in the rear under the guise of checking grain, grass and military equipment. "

The families of generals in Yansui Town were panicked at first, thinking that the imperial envoy would want to pursue them, but they received a military order from the imperial envoy, asking them to gather their troops and horses and send troops to wipe out the bandits in ten days, and promised to pay back part of the arrears.

This made these hereditary border generals completely relieved. Since they were allowed to go out to fight, they would not be held accountable. When they went out to kill some Tartars casually, they could still receive rewards for their meritorious service.

Now the position of chief soldier is also vacant, and some generals also want to go further.Naturally, Qi Bingma worked hard and wanted to perform well in front of the imperial envoy.

After giving orders to the generals in Yanshou Town, Zhang Zongxian asked Yunong to contact Liangchen and asked him to take the assembled five cavalry brigades to fifty miles outside the Yulin Weibian wall.

In addition, 20 taels of cash was transferred from the general number of the Taiping as an arrears to the frontier army.

The next day, the prison car escorting Wang Zongbing's family set off from Yulinwei to the capital.

Then all the pro-army and the governor's standard battalion that belonged to the general army were transferred back to Yulin Guard, and then these soldiers and horses were disarmed, and the cavalry regiment that originally guarded the college was the guard.
In the next few days, border generals came to Zhang Zongxian to express their loyalty and give gifts, and Zhang Zongxian was also happy to accept it.

Ten days later, the Yulin Medical School grounds were crowded with people. I heard that the back pay was paid. The ordinary soldiers of the frontier army had been waiting for the food and wages, and they came to the school grounds to gather early. Yansui Town, which originally had a population of 2, Zhang Zongxian thought It is not bad to have 3 people, but according to the current situation of the whole army, there are at least [-] people, and the pay is still within the normal range.

Zhang Zongxian was not afraid of too many people, but he was afraid of few people. When he got out of the side wall, he couldn't let them go.Zhang Zongxian wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to wipe out all the soldiers and horses in Yansui Town.

After the salary was paid to those frontier generals, these frontier generals immediately smiled and began to rectify their troops.It is estimated that the money has all gone to the hands of these frontier generals, and it would be good for ordinary soldiers to get two taels of silver.

Then the cattle were sacrificed to sacrifice the flag, and the army set off.

Along the way, Zhang Zongxian only led a cavalry company, surrounded by soldiers and horses from Yansui Town. The 3-strong army stretched for several miles. After leaving the side wall, it marched until it was fifty miles away from the side wall before stopping to set up camp. .

At night, the eunuchs of the supervising army were first fascinated, and then all the officers of more than a hundred households were summoned to the big tent, and then the cavalry led by Liang Chen took the order of the imperial envoy and quickly controlled each big camp.

And those frontier generals waited for a long time and didn't see the imperial envoy coming over. When they felt something was wrong, the good ministers had already controlled the entire camp and surrounded the Chinese army's tent.

After the soldiers and officers were separated the next morning, all the soldiers were screened. The old, weak, sick, and disabled over the age of 25 were all arranged to go to the construction site in Shuofang City.
The remaining soldiers were dispatched officers, who were reorganized into five supplementary brigades.

Zhang Zongxian asked the officers to explain the policy of the Legislative Army to the sergeants in Yansui Town. For the abolished old and weak, they will enjoy the treatment of immigrants from the settlements of Shuofang City, and they will be given loans to divide [-] acres of land.

The sergeants of the reorganized supplementary brigade will enjoy the same treatment as the Legislative Army, with a monthly salary of two taels of silver, [-] acres of land tax-free for ten years, and additional land rewards after meritorious service.

As for those frontier generals, they were driven into an unnamed ravine, and then continuously shot into the ravine. Perhaps some of them were innocent, but their existence affected Zhang Zongxian's future control of the entire Yansui Town.

After dealing with the border generals in Yansui Town, he took the reorganized army and headed towards Dongshengwei's hometown.

Along the way, infantry brigades transferred from the forward base continued to join, as well as convoys of supplies mobilized from the side walls.

After six days of marching, by the time they arrived at Junzijin, the crossing of the Yellow River, the legion had gathered three cavalry brigades, two infantry brigades, five cold weapon replenishment brigades, and various supply convoys. of 6 people.

Dongshengwei was originally Dongshengzhou in the Yuan Dynasty. It is divided into two guards, the left and the right. The strategic position is very important. Among them, the right guard is located at the mouth of the Dahei River into the Yellow River. It controls Junzijin, an ancient ferry of the Yellow River, and goes upstream along the Dahei River. Going more than 100 miles is Guihua City, and less than [-] miles to the east is Datong City.

It played an important role in connecting the guards of Shanxi and the guards of Ningxia and controlling Hetao. After Zhu Di moved Dongshengwei inward, Daming gradually lost control of Hetao.

Once the Legislative Army rebuilds Dongshengwei, it means that Tumed's department will lose control of the Monan grassland. If Tumed's Shunyi King does not want to join Lin Danhan or go into exile in Mobei, he must prevent the reconstruction of Dongshengwei .

Since Zhang Zongxian personally led the army this time, the commander-in-chief naturally became Zhang Zongxian, Liangchen was responsible for directing specific operations, and Boren was in charge of all cavalry units.

After the army arrived at Junzijin, the Tumote Department did not realize at this time that the purpose of the Legislative Army was to rebuild Dongshengwei, and King Shunyi of Guihua City was still waiting for the Han army in Neijiang.

So before Tumet's troops could react, the French army immediately built a pontoon bridge, allowing the cavalry group to take the lead in seizing the old site of Dongshengwei Youwei through the pontoon bridge.

After the cavalry crossed the Yellow River, they quickly seized the right guard of Dongshengwei, and then two infantry brigades plus three supplementary brigades also quickly crossed the Yellow River and began to rebuild the right guard of Dongshengwei.

On the other hand, Zhang Zongxian stayed on the west bank of the Yellow River to establish the Dongshengwei Left Guard, and two supplementary brigades of the supply convoy and a brigade of infantry also stayed.

At this time, in Guihua City, after learning that the Han army had seized the old land of Dongshengwei, King Shunyi scolded the Han people for being cunning and cheated by the general army of Yansui, so he should gather troops to take back Hetao.

And the Tumed Taiji who gathered in Guihua City also became arguing.

Faced with the pressing of the Han army.Dacheng Wanhu Department Taiji is the most anxious. Once the Han army rebuilds Dongshengwei, his tribe will face the Hetao Han army, Daming Shanxi Town (Piantouguan), and Datong Town on three sides.

Dacheng Wanhu Department Taiji tried his best to persuade King Shunyi to immediately gather all the troops to fight the Han army and drive the Han army back to Hetao. The Han army must not be allowed to rebuild Dongshengwei.

The other Wanhu tribes were afraid of the combat power of the Han army in Hetao, and did not want to storm the strong camp of the Han army.

Instead, he proposed not to pay attention to the Han army's action to rebuild Dongshengwei, but to start from the Dalat Wanhu Department (Baotou) and attack Hetao to cut off the Han army's logistics supply line and eradicate all the settlements established by the Han army in Hetao.

Without the support of Hetao, even if Dongshengwei was rebuilt, the Han army would have to give up due to supply difficulties.

The two sides quarreled over this. King Shunyi was more inclined to attack the Hetao. In order to rebuild Dongshengwei, the Han army must use all the best, so the Hetao must be very empty.

However, Dongshengwei is more than 100 miles away from Guihua City, and a surprise attack can hit the city of Guihua. After entering Guihua City, he, the King of Shunyi, will be the first.

In the dilemma, the King of Shunyi could only divide his troops in the end, and sent a team of [-] people to support the Dalat Wanhu Department. They were to cut off the supply line of the Han army, and he took all the remaining troops to Dongshengwei to contain the main force of the Han army.

By the time King Shunyi led [-] cavalry and arrived at Dongshenwei after a morning's rapid march, the Legislative Army had already built a solid camp with blast-proof walls.
