Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 175 Mutiny
After Zhao's staff returned to the Governor's Mansion, they reported to Zhang Zongxian what happened at the banquet.

After Zhang Zongxian listened to it, he thought that when he went to the prairie, I would like to see how you can negotiate terms with me.

After negotiating the conditions, soldiers from all walks of life arrived in Zhangjiakou one after another, but there were still some people who would venture out to fight not far away, so it would be nice to sit at home and collect rent.

The procrastinators were unwilling to gather troops, Zhang Zongxian saw that these frontier soldiers started to itch again, so he picked out the two most procrastinators, and directly tested the sharpness of Shang Fang's sword with their heads.

In this way, these generals did not dare to delay and speed up.

By September 25, [-] soldiers and horses had been gathered in Monolith Fortress, which was already the number after eliminating the old and the weak.

Just when Zhang Zongxian was about to lead the troops to the expedition, the cabinet sent ministers to the Xuanfu to reprimand Zhang Zongxian for sending troops without authorization and asked Zhang Zongxian to immediately dismiss the troops he had assembled.

When the minister arrived at the Xuan Mansion, he couldn't even enter the Governor's Mansion. No one cared about him, so he went back to the capital to file a complaint.

As a result, he was taken away by the Dongchang people before he even arrived in the capital. This made the governor of Xuanfu Town, who originally wanted to prevent Zhang Zongxian from sending troops, immediately stopped thinking about confronting Zhang Zongxian.

Zhang Zongxian knew about Zhang Zongxian's sending troops to fight Lin Danhan. He was full of confidence in Zhang Zongxian.After all, Tian Qi is still young, since he has the strength, why should he be angry with you.

I have long wanted to teach Lin Danhan a lesson. If I save 100 million taels of silver, I will have enough money to build the Crystal Palace.

On September [-]th, after rectifying the soldiers and horses, Zhang Zongxian led the [-] troops from the governor's town out of the side wall.

The Legislative Army was also led by Liang Chen to Zhangjiakou. After the two armies converged, they began to march towards Chahanhaote, the capital of Lindan Khan.

After the two armies converged, the border generals of Xuanfu Town looked at the so-called Datong Town reinforcements and were very surprised. They were completely different from the Datong Army in their impression.

Not to mention the spirit, the equipment alone is not even comparable to the three major battalions in the capital!And everyone has a horse.

They looked at themselves again, except for the servants who were better equipped, the rest of the soldiers were wearing mandarin jackets, and their weapons were all rusty.Those who didn't know thought they were bandits.

The soldiers of the Legislative Army, seeing how shabby the soldiers and horses in Xuanfu Town were, immediately became more arrogant and looked at the frontier soldiers with contempt in their eyes.

The soldiers in Xuanfu Town were full of envy. They learned from the chat that the Legislative Army had meat to eat every day, and they were still paid enough. They wished they could join the Legislative Army immediately.

After marching to the afternoon and setting up camp, the frontier generals of Xuanfu Town met. The reinforcements of Datong Town took out a sack wrapped with barbed wire, took a small shovel from the horse, and began to fill it with soil. A low wall.

This made the border generals of Xuanfu Town even more impressed by the excellent equipment of soldiers and horses in Datong Town, who erected a city wall on the grassland so easily.

After setting up the camp, the reinforcement team from Datong Town brought them food and grass, canned potatoes and luncheon meat, and the canned food was made of large clay pots.

After these generals saw potatoes and canned meat, they wanted to put them away and take them home. As for what did the soldiers eat?Didn't you see the horse feed brought over?It’s good to eat something, so what else should you pay attention to?
However, after one day, when the soldiers saw such a big gap between the two sides, they all scolded these side generals in their hearts, not to mention deducting food and military pay on weekdays, and making them work for nothing all day long.

Now there is going to be a war, and they are not allowed to eat something good. Now even the meat sent to them by the governor is being deducted.

Smelling the fragrant broth stewed in the Legislative Army camp, and looking at the beans cooking in their own pots, the soldiers became more and more dissatisfied, and soon someone took the lead and started to boo and shout for meat.

The frontier army in Xuanfu Town was afraid that the governor would find out that they were withholding food and wages, so they asked their servants to suppress them.

The soldiers were full of anger, and the servants were ruthless again, and soon the two sides became angry.

Zhang Zongxian, who is in the camp at the moment, still wants to coax these generals over in the name of discussing the military situation tonight. Now there is no need to make excuses.
Immediately ordered Liangchen to lead a team to quell the fighting between the two sides, and put all the border generals in Xuanfu Town under custody, and those who dared to resist were executed on the spot.

Under the warning of the Legislative Army's firecrackers, both sides were quickly disarmed. Among them, several border generals in Xuanfu Town wanted to resist with the help of their servants, but they were all beaten into a sieve by the firecrackers.

Zhang Zongxian first walked to the soldiers of Xuanfu Town, picked up a soldier at random and asked:
"Why are you making trouble?"

The soldier Zhan Keke replied:

"Master, we want to eat meat, eat meat."

Zhang Zongxian nodded and said to the soldiers in Xuanfu Town:
"The governor knows why you are making trouble, and you will never be short of food and pay if you follow the governor. However, the military law is ruthless, and you will be punished if you gather a crowd to make trouble, so you will be included in the baggage team. From now on, you will set up a camp. Wait to do it."

After finishing speaking, he ordered people to bring potatoes and luncheon meat to them, and let these soldiers have a good meal. The soldiers who ate the meat kowtowed in the direction where Zhang Zongxian was standing, and shouted:

"Thank you, Lord Governor, for the meat."

After the soldiers were dealt with, Zhang Zongxian came to those frontier generals, and the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town hurriedly shouted:

"The governor is because we are not strict in running the army. The governor laughed at me, and I will definitely discipline him strictly later. Forget the governor to be merciful."

The other generals also shouted:

"Governor, please be merciful!"

"Governor, please be merciful!"

Zhang Zongxian ignored their shouts and turned back to the Chinese army tent.

Then Liang Chen put all these frontier soldiers under arrest. Only then did these frontier generals understand their situation. They wanted to make trouble, and after being beaten to death a few more, they dared not make any more noise this time.

I thought to myself that after returning to the side wall, I must sue Zhang Zongxian properly. Although Gui Xun has fallen, he is not easy to bully.

However, Zhang Zongxian never thought about letting them go back alive. He had already asked Zhao's staff to record that they had embezzled the soldiers' food and grass and caused a mutiny.

After annexing the soldiers and horses in Xuanfu Town, Zhang Zongxian immediately ordered someone to send an order to Boren, ordering him to go out of the side wall and kill Guangning Houtunwei immediately after receiving the order.

Then Zhang Zongxian led the army to continue to attack Lin Danhan's capital.

The ten cavalry brigades are deployed in regiments, forming a front ten miles wide, walking in front of the legion, sweeping past all the way, and the brigades are not closed at night, and the scout cavalry who are in charge of intercepting and killing the Tartars are twenty miles ahead of the legion .

The entire legion only walked fifty miles a day, and the next day they would turn the large camp left by the legion into a military depot, leaving a camp of Legislative Army infantry and [-] soldiers from Xuanfu Town as the guards of the depot.

Zhang Zongxian just wants to crush Lin Danhan with an absolute advantage.
