Chapter 297 The army of the world is one family
"Yue Wumu once said that civil officials do not love money and military officials are not afraid of death, and the world will be peaceful. Is this true? It is reasonable! The truth is very profound, but every time we read this, we will always understand some new truths, such as why civil officials cannot love money?
Love money is human nature.
If the civil servants do their duty well, what's wrong with loving money? If he can improve the living standards of the people under his rule, will the people be able to have enough food and clothing and make some excessive money? Not too much.
Similarly, it is appropriate for military officers to not be afraid of death, but they can also love money. Those who love money may not be afraid of death. The grandson once said that if they attack the enemy, the second soldiers will attack the enemy, and then they will be able to move the bad guys when they have no choice. If they can achieve the effect of using only some money and material things, why don’t we do it?"
"The court is loyal to Your Majesty, and we are also loyal to Your Majesty. Since we are all loyal to Your Majesty, we are our own people. Why do we have to fight? How much does the court give you? If you add it, do not talk to our family if you can solve the problem with money."
"No matter how much you spend, we only need to buy the Beijing camp for our family!" - "The Necessity of Establishing a United Front"
.........
"Eunuch Wei is willing to give up money, so we can talk a little. If this is not done, what's the point of waiting for me?"
"Give money. We will make up for the amount of money the Ministry of War has owed Jingjian over the years. We will add extra money. In short, the money we give must be more than the court gave, and the more people in the Jingjian cannot refuse!"
Tian Ergeng, who was a second-generation official, did not take money seriously and was used to spending money like flowing water on weekdays. This made him, Mr. Tian, who has connections in Beijing? In addition, his martial arts skills were outstanding, could he kill a tiger with his fists? Therefore, Liu Qiao, the chief minister of the Beigongfu, had to be polite to him.
After Mr. Liu received 5,000 taels of silver notes from Mr. Tian, his awareness suddenly improved. For justice and righteousness, Mr. Liu refused to listen to his cousin, Governor Luo. The commander of the Jinyiwei could not even mobilize the Beizhen Fushi, which was a joke.
The first victory? Tian Ergeng is more confident? So he happily accepted the order from a distant pass. This order had no other meaning, just to make Mr. Tian have a deep impression of the soldiers of the Beijing camp no matter what, that is, his father and mother are not as close as Eunuch Wei!
Five thousand taels of silver notes plus a box of about 100 taels of gold? And there is also a beautiful sister from Yuanxinju? It was a great gift from Tian Ergeng to Zhang Neng, the left deputy general of Shenshu Camp.
This Shenshu Camp is the former Three Thousand Camp. During the Jiajing period, when the regiment camp was abolished and restored the three major camps, the San Thousand Camp was renamed Shenshu Camp, and 2,500 Red Helmet Generals and 500 Ming-Armored Generals were incorporated into the camp.
After several changes in the battalion system, the Shenshu Camp has set up combat barracks, chariot barracks, and three guard barracks each? One deacon battalion. Each battalion has about 5,000 soldiers. The total force includes about 70,000 soldiers. Of course, this is just on the list. In fact, the Shenshu Camp can mobilize and can be called less than 20,000 soldiers. The other so-called Beijing camp soldiers mostly appear during the "campaign"? But it is unknown whether they are.
As the left deputy general of the Shenshu Camp, Zhang Neng directly obeyed the commander of the Governor of the Jingying? It can be said that Zhang Neng is actually the top leader of the Shenshu Camp. In addition to the Governor of the Jingying, there is also an assistant manager? This official position is also the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
Directly bribery of the British Duke and the Minister of War? Tian Ergeng has not been so arrogant yet, so his target is the actual generals in the three camps.
Five thousand taels of silver notes plus one hundred taels of gold, and a brothel girl, this is a big gift, a real gift.
If these are not enough, it doesn't matter. As long as Zhang Neng offers a bid code, Tian Ergeng will definitely not frown.
He often heard Eunuch Wei say that money is a bastard and we will earn it again without any reason.
"General Zhang was a family general of the Duke of England's Mansion. The Duke of England valued the general very much. Everyone in the capital knew about this. However, the general is now a general in the capital, so there is no old friendship between the Duke of England's Mansion. If so, wouldn't he be unfaithful to Your Majesty or the court?"
"Of course, Tian gave the general these gold and silver gifts not to make the general and the British Duke turn against each other, but just hope that the general will turn a blind eye."
"What turned a blind eye?" Zhang Neng couldn't understand this.
“To be precise, it’s neutral.”
Tian Ergeng smiled and told Zhang Neng frankly that the purpose of giving him all the gold and silver was to ask him, the top leader of the Shenshu Camp, to clearly demonstrate his adherence to the principle of "neutrality".
"The general can also be understood as not helping each other."
Tian Ergeng added another sentence, he believed that Zhang Neng would be moved, because Li Yongzhen, the East Factory, had already found out clearly.
To sum it up, it is four words - greed for money and lust.
"The general must have seen the combat power of the personal army. The general should be aware of the difference between the combat power of the Beijing camp and the Beijing army. If the war really starts, the general thinks that the Jing camp, which has been pacified for a long time, can the Jing camp, which is neglected to train, stop the personal army outside the city that has just pacified Jiannu?"
In addition to giving a big gift, you must know the great righteousness.
It is necessary for Tian Ergeng to remind Zhang Neng of the fate of resisting to the end.
"I don't know the truth. The city walls of the capital are as if nothing is needed in the eyes of the personal army. The general doesn't know that what the emperor's personal army is best at is blowing up the city walls."
"I am the deputy general of Shenshu Camp. If there is something to do in the capital, only Ma Jie is wrapped in a body. Does Mr. Tian think that I am the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Zhang Neng said this, but he was a little panicked. He didn't know about Shenji Camp and Wuqian Camp, but he knew about some people under Shenshu Camp who had been to Nanhaizi privately. How could Deputy General Zhang not know about these people's "experiences"?
According to those guys, the personal army built a city wall about one mile long in the northwest of Nanhaizi. Both the height and width were exactly the same as the city wall of the capital. However, in the blink of an eye, the city wall was blown down by the personal army.
Obviously, the emperor's personal army proved that they had the absolute strength to break through the capital.
And once the city wall is gone, can the three camps really stop the personal army?
Tian Ergeng naturally saw that Zhang Nengxu was timid, and chuckled, saying, "There are so many gates in Beijing. The general can guard Zuo'anmen, but what about outside Zuo'anmen? How could the general know that Tian, a lobbyist, only came to you and did not go to other people's places?"
These words made Zhang Neng frown. He was moved by so much money, let alone others.
It seems that nothing wrong with being able to put things in your pocket as long as you are "neutral".
No matter what, the personal army and the Beijing camp were both the Ming army, so there was no reason for internal strife between the two sides.
Zhang Neng, who had been struggling for a long time, finally reacted. He glanced at the silver notes and gold, thrust his cheeks, and then gritted his teeth and said, "It's because I am not willing to be neutral. It's because the British Duke is so kind to me..."
Before Zhang Neng finished speaking, he saw Tian Ergeng take out another silver note and add it.
"This...oh, Mr. Tian doesn't know anything. Although I know that my personal army is wronged and Eunuch Wei is also a flatterer. However, my personal army has not given an order to force the city into the city, it is a rebellion. As a general of the Beijing camp, how can I..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Tian added another silver note.
The movements are really light and light.
"this..."
Zhang Neng is not the one who doesn't know how to stop when he sees it, but he is still a little hesitant. He slowly stood up and paced with his hands behind his back, but his eyes shot on the silver notes and gold from time to time, and finally he accidentally swept towards the pretty girl.
This girl is plump, her breasts are very fat.
Tian Ergeng observed his expression and walked to the girl without showing any expression, handed her hand to Zhang Neng, and smiled slightly: "Beauty is worthy of a hero."
"General!"
The girl who came from Yuan Xinju must be good at it. Her face was slightly lowered and a hint of red rhyme between her ears made Tian Ergeng feel moved.
"Um..."
In order to avoid fighting with the same family and to prevent the people in the capital from suffering from military disasters, Comrade Zhang Neng, the left deputy general of Shenshu Camp, decided to be neutral after repeated thoughts.
Mr. Tian kept crying and went to the next battle. Shenshu Camp was not a Zhang Neng, and there were other generals. The other five thousand camps and Shenji Camp were all in place.
Of course, it was not the one who carried out the united front work, but also a group of people.
The entire work progressed very smoothly, especially with the support of the generals who had decided to support Eunuch Wei earlier.
Shenji Camp.
Dozens of young generals looked at the silver ingots on the plate in their hands, and each one was confused.
"Why did the superior suddenly give us money?" The person who spoke was a general flag named Zhou Yuji.
Sun Yingyuan, who was also the chief official next to him, said in a muffled voice: "I don't know, there is no good thing anyway. It's probably because the court and the eunuchs outside the city broke down."
Zhou Yuji said in a dismayed voice: "That means that the personal army is about to rebel?"
"Who knows, it's so fucking hell these days, even the personal army can rebel, hey."
Sun Yingyuan threw Yinding into his pocket with his hand, then patted his butt, and said to the people around him, "Go and drink!"
"If you drink and drink, you have to have a full meal. These money are our money to buy life."
"What if he doesn't matter, just take it if he has money. When the personal army attacks, we have to shoot a few guns to be worthy of the court."
“…”
Everyone was talking about it, and the group of people went to the restaurant or went home to explain to their wives and children.
Zhou Yuji was only 19 years old. His ancestors were from Fenghu Mountain, Suining, Jiangsu, but his father was from Jinzhou. The colleague of his father's death two years ago, Ma Dazhuang, who is now the chief official of Shenji Camp, specially transferred Zhou Yuji from Jinzhou to Jingying to raise it to the general flag.
Thinking that the superiors had given money, there must be a bad battle. Zhou Yu had no relatives in Jijing, so he wanted to find Uncle Ma. One was to ask if he wanted to fight with the personal army outside the city, and the other was to ask Uncle Ma to ask him to send his money to his mother in Jinzhou.
But when he arrived outside Uncle Ma's official house, he saw Uncle Ma in the house drinking with a white and beardless man. The man looked at him about 30 years old and was wearing the green robe of the eunuch in the palace.
