Punching is virtuous? !

Shi Dayong was stunned, and all the generals were also stunned: why, instead of rewarding us, the imperial court asked us to fight Kong Youde?What kind of business is this!

Don't worry, don't worry, maybe it's not just this edict.Shi Dayong comforted himself that Wang Chengen hadn't issued an imperial decree yet.

Jinzhou has achieved such a great victory, and he led his troops to Beijing to present the victory happily. It is impossible for the emperor not to express it, it is impossible not to express it.

On yesterday's platform, the imperial voice of Chongzhen was still in his ears, Shi Dayong did not believe that the young emperor would be so harsh on the meritorious soldiers. [

Pull up your spirits and wait with anticipation for the reading of the second edict.In the ears, Li Dashan and Shao Wu's murmurs could be heard, his face darkened, and he coughed lightly.Behind him, he suddenly became quiet.

But after waiting for dozens of seconds, Wang Chengen seemed to have disappeared, and he never heard a word from him again.

Puzzled, Shi Dayong raised his head. In his sight, Wang Chengen was looking at him with a smile, holding a bright yellow imperial decree in his hand.

Just one imperial decree.

"Elder-in-law" swallowed, and Shi Dayong choked out two words, but he didn't know what to say after that.

He couldn't ask the emperor himself if he had any rewards for the Jinzhou Army, if he had any imperial edicts for him, and if he would agree to his request to guard Liaodong forever.

"General Shi, have you not received the order yet?"

Wang Chengen's smile seemed to never fade away, it was always on his face, making people look so kind and warm.

Shi Dayongnai had no choice but to accept the imperial decree from Wang Chengen, kowtowed to thank him and said: "Minister Shi Dayong accepts the decree! Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The voices of long live behind him were sparse, and even the dissatisfaction in the tone could be heard.

Wang Chengen also noticed the dissatisfaction of Shi Dayong's subordinates, but he didn't hear it. He just smiled and said to Shi Dayong: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the general, and our family hereby wish the general great success and kill Kong in one fell swoop." Thief, when we come back from victory, our family will definitely have a big drink with the general."

"According to the auspicious words of the father-in-law, the general will not disgrace the emperor's order in the end."

Shi Dayong gave a false answer, and then looked at Wang Chengen unwillingly, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Elder-in-law, there will be some doubts at the end, but I don't know whether to ask or not?"

"Oh?"

Wang Chengen couldn't help but suppress his smile, and his gaze slowly shifted from Shi Dayong's face to the generals behind him.

Seeing this, Shi Dayong hurriedly turned around, waved his hands at all his subordinates and said: "You all step back first, I have something to discuss with my father-in-law."

All the generals hesitated and did not go out on the spot.Seeing this, Li Dashan, who had been angry for a long time, couldn't help shouting: "General, we came from Liaodong, so we should belong to Liaodong. It's fine if the imperial court doesn't reward us, but it wants us to make holes and virtues. What is this? Don't we Liaodong The army was raised by the stepmother, and we have to do all the things to wipe the ass! Or the general will say, we will go back to Liaodong, and the court will punch Kong Youde and tell him to transfer someone else, so we will not go!"

Hearing this, Shi Dayong's face turned cold in an instant, and he shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! Whatever comes from Liaodong, it belongs to Liaodong! We are the army of the imperial court, and we will do whatever the emperor wants us to do. Where is your paradox! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you with a knife! Get out!" [

"General"

Li Dashan froze, Shi Dayong who was angry was not someone he dared to fight against. When he was a bandit, he was frightened by Shi Dayong. Fear from the bottom of my heart.Seeing the other party's cold eyes, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, not daring to contradict him, and walked out of the big tent embarrassingly.

All the generals left the tent afterwards, only Wang Chengen and Shi Dayong faced each other in the tent.

"I don't know what General Shi wants to ask our family?" Wang Chengen's tone was very flat, and there was no fluctuation on his face, as if he didn't take Shi Dayong's men's rebellious words to heart.

Wang Chengen didn't blame him, but Shi Dayong felt uneasy, pleading guilty cautiously: "My lord, that man is a fool. He used to be a bandit before he was recruited under the command of the last general. His bandit nature is hard to get rid of, that's why he is so arrogant. Behavior. However, this person is loyal to the imperial court. Since he followed the last general, he has fought against Jiannu, big and small, and he must take the lead in every battle. Father-in-law, don't take it to heart!"

Wang Chengen smiled slightly, and said in a harmonious voice: "General Shi, don't worry, our family is not the kind of talkative person. What is loyalty, what is treachery, what is intentional words, and what is intentional fault, our family can still distinguish. out."

Hearing this, Shi Dayong felt a little relieved, looking at Wang Chengen's face, it didn't seem to be a fake, thinking about this person's character, he couldn't help but believe that he was not lying to himself.

"There are no outsiders here. If General Shi has anything to ask, please ask. Our family is here not only to announce the decree, but also to clarify the general's doubts."

Wang Chengen opened his mouth to speak, he came here for only one purpose, that is to let this willing leader Shi Dayong, who has made great contributions in Jinzhou, go to pacify Kong Youde, and he is absolutely dissatisfied with the court and the emperor.

When Wang Chengen opened his mouth, Shi Dayong had nothing to hide under his armpits, so he boldly asked: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, why did the emperor go to Shandong to quell the chaos? Could it be that the imperial court can't send any more troops except the generals?" Are the soldiers coming?"

Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Kong's bandit is under Dongjiang Liao soldiers, and the general is also a Liao town soldier. Some people in the court suggested that Liao soldiers should be used to control the Liao soldiers. Therefore, the emperor thought twice before asking the general's troops to go to Shandong to quell the chaos."

"The emperor's order is sent, and the last general will never dare to disobey the order. It's just that the last general came to the capital to show victory. There are not many soldiers and horses, so it may be difficult to quell the chaos."

Shi Dayong couldn't figure it out. Could it be that Chongzhen didn't know that he had only 700 people here, and it would be too childish to rely on these 700 people to quell the chaos in Shandong.To put it bluntly, what is the difference between Chongzhen's move and killing someone with a borrowed knife?

No matter how good his Shi tribe is at fighting, it can't defeat the elephants killed by too many ants. No matter how capable Shi Dayong is, it is impossible for him to sweep Kong Youde's tribe, who is also from Liao Town, with just 700 people!

Hearing Shi Dayong's tone of anger, Wang Chengen was afraid that he would think too much, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry about this, the general. The emperor allocated another thousand soldiers from the Beijing battalion for the general to command. In addition, the general is not fighting alone, but It was returned to Shandong governor Zhu Dadian, and the Lu army and Zhejiang army cooperated in the battle. In addition, Denglai's local soldiers and horses were already in the Beijing camp in Shandong. The imperial court allocated a total of [-] troops to suppress the Kong bandits. You just need to follow Governor Zhu’s command, and you have to worry about fighting alone. The so-called soldiers are not many, but the most valuable. Just now our family also saw that the general’s troops are all elite soldiers. With this tiger and wolf division, I’m afraid there will be no one to smash Kong’s bandits. Next."

After hearing what Wang Chengen said, Shi Dayong breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he didn't want to fight the chaos alone, so it was better.But he frowned and raised an imminent problem.

"Father-in-law, the soldiers and horses of Liao Town will be in the end. They just came here to show victories and did not bring food and grass. If they are transferred to Shandong in a hurry to quell the chaos, there will be no way to solve the food and payment. May I ask father-in-law, can the court make any arrangements?"

Wang Chengen laughed and said: "The general is under the command of the governor of Shandong. The Shandong side will be responsible for the payment of food and salaries. The general only needs to send the money to go. Naturally, the state government along the way will provide the necessary food and grass."

"So good."

The worries in his heart were resolved one by one by Wang Chengen, but Shi Dayong still seemed to be strong, a little unpleasant.Seeing him like this, Wang Chengen knew it well, and said slowly: "General Shi, is he wondering why I don't see any ceremony from the imperial court to reward my Jinzhou soldiers and horses to Beijing?"

Shi Dayong was a little embarrassed by Wang Chengen's question, but he did not deny it.Wang Chengen didn't know whether he was ashamed and blushing under the mask, but what was certain was that Wang Chengen absolutely didn't want to see Shi Dayong's mutilated and hideous face again.

Wang Chengen sighed, and said: "Oh, it's not that the Holy Majesty is unwilling to hold a ceremony of presenting captives for the soldiers, let alone being reluctant to confer rewards, it's that the military situation in Shandong is urgent, and Dengzhou has been besieged by Kong's thieves. I am afraid that Dengzhou will not be guaranteed. Therefore, the Holy Majesty has no choice but to send the general south today, otherwise, I am afraid that the people of Shandong will be harmed by bandit soldiers. In fact, the Holy Majesty was in a dilemma when making this decision, but the balance can only be temporarily I have wronged the general.”[

Hearing this, Shi Dayong was a little surprised: "Why, that Kong bandit army is very strong, and the local soldiers in Shandong can't suppress him?" He didn't know who Kong Youde was, but he thought the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it Who is this person and what is his background.But it can make Lu Bing, Zhe Bing, and Jingying three families helpless. I think Kong Youde's troops are also elite.Just now Wang Cheng'en said that the Kong Department was the old Dongjiang Department of Liao Town, but he didn't know which soldiers and horses he was referring to in Liao Town, and what relationship it had with Zu Dashou.

Wang Cheng'en smiled wryly, and said: "If Shandong can handle it, why should the Holy Majesty feel so cold about the hearts of the soldiers who have made meritorious service, and send a general to the south to quell the chaos today?"

After Shi Dayong heard this, he didn't speak, and secretly calculated his chances of going south to Pingkong.Since he chooses to be loyal to Chongzhen, he has no other ideas, he will do whatever Chongzhen wants him to do, and this is the duty of a loyal minister.It's just that Haosheng needs to explain to his subordinates, otherwise, I'm afraid the generals will complain about the emperor.

Shi Dayong asked so many things related to going south to quell the chaos, so he was naturally willing to go south to quell the chaos, otherwise, he would not have asked these questions at all.This kind of attitude made Wang Cheng'en very satisfied, secretly thought that the emperor was too worried, Shi Dayong was a bit tyrannical, but he was truly loyal to Daming and the emperor.As for other generals, I am afraid that they either made demands with the imperial court, or complained about their grievances and refused to transfer them. There are not many people like Shi Dayong who obey orders without thinking.

"Don't worry, general, when the general returns from defeating the Kong bandits, the Holy Majesty will reward the three armies. At that time, the new and old achievements will be rewarded together, and the soldiers will be satisfied."

Wang Chengen's guarantee was more like a reassurance for Shi Dayong, telling him that the court had not forgotten his contribution, and the emperor had not forgotten it. As long as he made new contributions, the emperor would definitely reward him.

When it comes to this point, Shi Dayong has nothing to say. He is very indifferent to rewards. He only wants to do his best to protect Daming, protect the people of Daming, and protect the emperor of Daming. , for him as a time traveler, it's not that important.

Slightly leaning towards Wang Cheng'en, he clasped his fists in salute, and said earnestly, "Eunuch, please report back to the Holy Majesty, my minister Shi Dayong will go south to quell the chaos in the next day, please rest assured, my Majesty, but with my minister here, there will be no place for the thieves to gain a foothold!"
