98, Wu Sangui wants to be elite, but Zhu Cihong decisively refuses
Wu Sangui returned home in anger and blew up.
"Damn it, bastard, damn it, it's hateful!"
Amid the loud curses, many furniture was smashed into pieces.
No one dared to persuade Wu Sangui. Even his father Wu Xiang pretended not to know about this after hearing about it, and hid in the concubine's room in the backyard and went to drink.
Chen Yuanyuan rushed over after hearing the news. She originally wanted to persuade Wu Sangui, but Wu Sangui stared at him and stood aside obediently, not daring to say anything.
Wu Sangui didn't know how long it took, but he finally felt a little relieved. He saw Chen Yuanyuan who was timid next to him and immediately strode over.
Chen Yuanyuan was picked up by Wu Sangui around the waist, and immediately cried out, and then immediately turned into a tender and charming mermaid, tightly wrapped around Wu Sangui.
With a slam, the door of the room was kicked by Wu Sangui.
...
Women are the best anti-compression medicine for men, and this sentence applies no matter what age.
Wu Sangui opened the door with satisfaction and ordered to the butler outside: "Go and find Zheng Jiaolin and the others."
Zheng Jiaolin and others had been waiting for Wu Sangui's summons for a long time and arrived at almost as fast as possible.
Wu Sangui said calmly: "Have you heard about the imperial meeting today? Your Majesty gave me a quota of 10,000 troops. I hope you can return to my official's command. What do you think?"
After Wu Sangui finished speaking, the few people immediately showed joy.
Zheng Jiaolin's reaction was the most exaggerated, and his eyes turned red on the spot, and he cried with tears in his eyes.
"Sir, you have no choice but to decide for us these days. You don't know what we old Guanning Army have been bullied! The prince and the British Duke are just flirting with each other and suppressing us crazily. If we hadn't endured humiliation, we would have never seen this side of the adult!"
Zheng Jiaolin's words were immediately moved by Wu Sangui's ears.
Wu Sangui is not a fool either. Of course, he knows that Zheng Jiaolin is somewhat of a performance element, but seeing the others nodding repeatedly, it is undoubtedly difficult for Wu Sangui's confidants to have these days.
Don’t forget that some of Wu Sangui’s confidants have been kicked out of the army directly.
Wu Sangui took a deep breath and said slowly: "The past is over. Now that I am re-controlling the army, as long as you cooperate with me to make military achievements, Your Majesty will naturally hand over the military power to me again. By that time, our wealth will be nearest!"
After hearing Wu Sangui's words, Zheng Jiaolin and others calmed down and said one after another: "Don't worry, sir, we swear to be loyal to you!" "The Guanning Army is the Guanning Army. We are a solid piece of law and will never be divided by a few words from the court and the prince!"
Looking at the statements of Zheng Jiaolin and others, Wu Sangui's mood also improved a lot.
So what if there are only 10,000 soldiers? Wu Sangui thinks that he is capable of leading troops here. As long as he has soldiers, he can achieve a record. Then, let the prince who is blindly beautiful!
On that night, the lights in Wu Sangui's mansion did not go out until very late.
The next day, Wu Sangui brought several confidants to the camp outside Beijing.
He wanted to receive the 10,000 troops and horses that Chongzhen gave him here, and then rushed to Shanhaiguan immediately.
If he went too late and Shanhaiguan was captured by the Qing army, Wu Sangui not only did not have military achievements, but he would definitely not be able to escape the charge of dereliction of duty.
After arriving at the camp, Wu Sangui met the person in charge of Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen.
What surprised Wu Sangui was that Zhu Cilang was also present.
"I've seen the prince." Although I was unhappy, Wu Sangui still had to bow to him.
Zhu Cilang patted Wu Sangui's shoulder with a smile: "Shangshu Wu, look good, I'm optimistic about you!"
This tone and expression of treating the younger generation made Wu Sangui so angry that he almost ascended to heaven, but he still forced himself to suppress it.
Zhu Cixuan smiled and said, "Shangshu Wu, you are going to transfer troops, right? I have already discussed with Xiangcheng Bo. The list of commanders and generals to transfer to you are here."
This is the key, so Wu Sangui didn't care about Zhu Cilang's sarcasm and quickly looked at the list handed in.
As he looked, Wu Sangui's brows relaxed a lot.
Although Zhu Cixuan did not deal with Wu Sangui, the soldiers he transferred to Wu Sangui were still quite combat-effective, and were at the upper and upper level of 40,000 soldiers.
It's fair, but Wu Sangui is not satisfied.
Because Wu Sangui hoped to get the 10,000 most elite of the 40,000 troops, so that he could make military achievements in Shanhaiguan.
Wu Sangui looked at Zhu Cilang and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the choices of these troops are probably inappropriate."
Zhu Ciyang was a little surprised: "Isn't it? Do you actually think it's inappropriate? To be honest, I thought you would thank me at the beginning."
Wu Sangui: “…”
In fact, what Zhu Cilang said is really right. This fair distribution was something Wu Sangui really didn't expect before.
But now, Wu Sangui wants more.
Wu Sangui thought he was very confident, so he took out the will from Chongzhen and placed it in front of Li Guozhen: "Boy Xiangcheng, I have the will of Your Majesty here, you have to mobilize troops according to my wishes."
Wu Sangui is now the Governor of Ji Liao and the Minister of War. He is still one level higher than Li Guozhen, and he has the confidence to speak like this.
But before Li Guozhen could speak, Zhu Cixuan, who was standing beside him, interrupted: "I said it, no."
In terms of status, who is worthy of competing with Zhu Ciyang except Chongzhen?
Wu Sangui could no longer ignore Zhu Ciyang and turned to stare at Zhu Ciyang: "Can your Highness the Crown Prince want to disobey His Majesty's order?"
Zhu Ciyang smiled and asked Wu Sangui a question: "Did you forget that Your Majesty is actually my father?"
Wu Sangui: “…”
At this moment, Wu Sangui was speechless.
Just talk well, why did you start to fight for your father all at once?
Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said, "If Your Majesty knew that Your Majesty actually disobeyed the imperial edict, you would definitely be angry. Does Your Majesty really have no respect for Your Majesty?"
Wu Sangui made a small trap for Zhu Cixuan in one sentence. If Zhu Cixuan continues to object, this big hat that disobeys the imperial edict will be deprived of Zhu Cixuan first.
Zhu Cilang smiled and wanted to get the imperial edict in front of Li Guozhen. Wu Sangui was quick-eyed and took the lead in taking back his arms.
Zhu Cilang was not angry, but smiled and said to Wu Sangui, "Don't be stupid. This imperial edict was for Wang Chengen to give it to his father after he finished writing it. I was there at that time. The imperial edict only said that Xiangcheng Bo was to send 10,000 troops to you, but he never said that Xiangcheng Bo must obey your willingness to transfer troops unconditionally. Shangshu Wu, it is still far from being able to use this imperial edict to fool me."
After hearing what Zhu Cilang said, Wu Sangui's face turned blue and white.
I was wrong. I thought the imperial edict had been sent to the mansion last night, but Zhu Cilang was unaware of it. I didn't expect that this guy had read it in advance, so I couldn't fool it.
Zhu Cilang looked at Wu Sangui with a smile and said, "Okay, I really didn't cheat you this time. Just bring these ten thousand soldiers and horses and go whatever you should do."
Although Zhu Cilang was unhappy with Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui was still a general of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Cilang, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, did not have to cheat Wu Sangui.
Among the 40,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 are elite. Zhu Cilang has already divided half of the elite to Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui still wants to gain a better position, so Zhu Cilang must not agree.
Wu Sangui took away all the elite troops, so how could Zhu Cixuan fight with the remaining smelly fish and rotten shrimps?
The scene was in a deadlock for a while.
At this moment, Zheng Jiaolin behind Wu Sangui suddenly spoke: "Actually, I have an opinion. Since the prince's prince and the minister can't argue, then let the soldiers choose which one to follow to fight. How about it? In this way, it should be considered fair and just, and there is no cheating method."
When Wu Sangui heard this, his eyes lit up.
Nowadays, the troops of the Ming Dynasty were mainly formed with the previous 40,000 Guanning Army as the team, and naturally most of the elite troops came from the Guanning Army.
Wu Sangui believes that he has run the Guanning Army for so many years. Even if all the generals and officials in the Guanning Army are not loyal to Wu Sangui, at least they have a good impression of them.
If these elites really make their own choices, they will definitely be the most people who follow Wu Sangui!
As for Zhu Ciyang... Wu Sangui didn't believe it. In just less than a month, could Zhu Ciyang take all the hearts of these Guanning generals away?
Wu Sangui looked at Zhu Ciyang and said, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
Wu Sangui felt that Zhu Cilang should refuse, after all, this was quite unfavorable to Zhu Cilang.
But what Wu Sangui didn't expect was that Zhu Cilang's eyes lit up after hearing Wu Sangui's words.
Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Are you sure? I told you that you should not regret it then!"
Wu Sangui was overjoyed and smiled and said, "Please rest assured by the Crown Prince. All those present can testify, and the officials will never regret it!"
Zhu Ciyang smiled and took the list of troops in front of Li Guozhen, picked up the pen and quickly added a bunch of names and placed them in front of Wu Sangui: "Look, are there any missing ones?"
Wu Sangui looked at it and found that they were basically familiar names. He thought about it and added a few more names.
These names are the names of generals and officers. The total number of soldiers and horses they led was about 20,000, which is basically the elite among the 40,000 people in this camp.
Wu Sangui felt that with his prestige, the most elite 10,000 of these 20,000 people would follow him to Shanhaiguan, and there would be no problem!
Wu Sangui said: "Your Highness, that's all."
Zhu Cilang nodded with a smile: "Very good, Xiangcheng Bo, go and call all these guys over."
Wu Sangui and Zhu Cixuan's eyes collided in the air, and they were both very confident.
Chapter completed!
