Volume Two, Chapter 67, Seizing Military Power
Tongzhou City, Shaanxi Army Camp, and several generals from Ganzhou Town gathered in the tent of the general. Looking at the empty general position, their faces were all in a shady and unstable manner.
The Xianning Hou Qiuluan rarely comes to the military camp. It was normal for this general to be empty, but this time it was quite abnormal because the Xianning Hou Qiuluan entered the capital and had not come back yet, but the Zhejiang Governor Yang Cong had already led his army to outside Tongzhou City.
What's going on?
No one knows.
They didn't even know whether to welcome Yang Cong, the Governor of Zhejiang Direct!
Of course, if they don’t go to greet them, it doesn’t mean that others won’t go to greet them either. In the south gate of Tongzhou City, the elite troops of the Southeast Tun Guard who had just arrived were still lined up outside the city. A group of generals of the Shanxi Army opened the city gate under the leadership of General Zhang Da, went out one after another, and met them.
When Yang Cong saw Zhang Da coming from afar, he immediately brought Tang Kekuan and other generals to meet him and laughed: "Hahahaha, General Zhang, it's been a long time since I saw you, you are still so heroic."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Da hurriedly greeted him and bowed, "Governor General Tang, long time no see."
Everyone was acquaintance and there was nothing to be polite. After everyone exchanged greetings, Yang Cong solemnly asked: "Where are those people under Qiu Luan? Have they any abnormal movements?"
Zhang Da said with a little disdain: "What kind of abnormal movement can they have? Just a bunch of wine bags. Even if the Shaanxi army really obeys their command, they can't come, let alone they are not popular at all. At this moment, they are staying in the city of Beida to discuss countermeasures, and they probably can't discuss any countermeasures. Sir, why don't you take people to take them all?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but say in surprise: "If you take people over and catch them, will they lead the crowd to resist?"
Zhang Da still said with a little disdain: "They usually know how to bully their soldiers, but who will listen to them? In the Shaanxi army, those who are truly loyal to Qiu Luan are actually just these few monkeys and the hundreds of personal guards under Qiu Luan. At this moment, Qiu Luan's personal guards were either taken away by Shi Yi or taken away by himself. The other soldiers of the Shaanxi army hated them so much that they were so loyal that they could make trouble with them."
Upon hearing this, Yang Cong waved without hesitation and said, "Okay, let's go together and take over the Shaanxi Army first."
After saying that, he turned over and walked through the south gate and headed straight for the north gate.
Behind him, the generals of the Southeast Army and the generals of the Shanxi Army all turned over without hesitation and followed, and thousands of personal guards were accompanied by them.
With such a huge team over, Qiu Luan's trusted generals naturally received the news early. They were generally aware of what these people came here. Yang Cong led the crowd to come, and it was very likely that they were here to seize their military power!
They also wanted to lead the crowd to resist. The problem was that they sent out several of their personal guards, but there was no movement in the military camp!
"I don't burn incense at ordinary times, but I cram the Buddha's feet for the time being." Is it useful?
Usually, they know how to bully their soldiers. At this moment, they want their soldiers to follow them to fight against the famous Zhejiang Governor Yang Cong. Is it possible?
If the Tartars came, the soldiers of the Shaanxi Army might still resist with them. Yang Cong, the governor of Zhejiang, came, and the soldiers of the Shaanxi Army wanted to line up to welcome them.
Resist?
What a joke!
So, a strange scene appeared. On Yang Cong's side, there were thousands of people, and the sound was huge, while the north camp of the city with tens of thousands was quiet, without any noise. Even the people standing guard at the gate of the camp ran away invisible light!
Obviously, the soldiers of Shaanxi army did not want to follow the trusted generals under the commander of the Xianning Hou Qiuluan. In order to avoid Yang Cong's misunderstanding, they even ignored the camp gate. Almost all the soldiers hid in the camp tent and watched the show.
Yang Cong came to the commander's tent with a proud and proud general, and several trusted generals under the Hou Qiuluan of Xianning ran away helplessly and bowed: "I will meet with the Governor."
I don’t know how much food and salary these guys have embezzled. They all eat fat and big ears, just like a group of pigs.
Yang Cong glanced at them and felt unforgettable.
He was too lazy to talk to these guys, so he raised his hand and waved it, shouting: "Take it down."
ah!
Several of the trusted generals under the command of the Hou Qiuluan of Xianning were shocked and said, "Governor, what do you mean?"
What's the meaning?
Yang Cong said loudly: "The emperor has an order. The prince of Xianning, Qiu Luan, is responsible for stolen the country. The crime is not forgiven. Anyone who is in the same position as his scoundrel, will be dismissed from his post and investigated!"
this!
They really didn't expect that the Marquis of Xianning, Qiu Luan, had already fallen into trouble. Looking at the eunuch who was conspicuous two days ago, the Marquis clearly wanted to be promoted to a higher position, okay?
This was actually a small trick that Yang Cong played. The reason why he asked Jiajing to block the news and secretly arrested the Queen of Xianning, Qiuluan, and then prevented the trusted generals under the Queen of Xianning, Qiuluan, from gathering together to cause trouble.
As the saying goes, "If you do more unrighteous things, you will die." These people are better against their soldiers, and may even gather to resist. Problem, they usually don't regard their soldiers as people, and they are not ruthless when they deduct food and pay, making their soldiers unable to even have enough food. At this moment, who will come forward to help them? It would be good if the soldiers in Shaanxi will not celebrating each other without quipping the high fives.
Yang Cong looked at the fat and big-eared generals' tie down, and couldn't help but snort coldly, then took his hand back and strode into the coach's tent.
Even Yang Cong, who is used to the luxurious scenes, was shocked. Generally, he didn't talk much about the show when marching and fighting. The commander's account was just a little bigger than other tents. As for the layout inside, there was nothing surprising.
The handsome tent of the Xianning Hou Qiuluan is different. With Yang Cong's professional vision, you can see at a glance that every thing inside is worth at least one hundred taels.
For example, the handsome chair is obviously made of high-quality ebony, and the entire tiger skin on it is very valuable.
For example, an incense burner is obviously made of pure copper. Not to mention the processing cost, the copper alone is valuable.
There are also calligraphy and paintings hanging in the handsome tent, all of which were written by famous artists, and even the ground was covered with wool blankets!
How much food and salary has Qiu Luan embezzled?
He sighed in his heart, then he took the position of commander and said loudly: "I ordered the commander to order the three towns of Ganzhou, Yulin and Yansui to take the generals above the generals to discuss matters."
The trusted generals under Qiu Luan could not attract anyone, but his order was surprisingly effective. Not long after, the grassroots generals of the Shaanxi Army arrived.
However, they all looked terrified, as if they were afraid that Yang Cong would suddenly get angry.
Yang Cong was not angry. He just glanced at the generals lightly, and then said loudly: "House Qiuluan from Xianning colluded with the enemy and treason, and the emperor has issued an order to take them down. Are you dissatisfied?"
Who doesn’t accept it? That guy should have been cut into pieces long ago!
Seeing that the generals were not silenced, Yang Cong nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's good that you don't agree. In the future, Zhang Da will be the general of Shaanxi. You all have to obey his orders, do you know?"
Fortunately, the Governor did not kill them all.
When the generals heard this, they hurriedly bowed their hands and said in unison: "The last general will obey the order."
Chapter completed!
