"Master, what's going on outside today? Why are there so many soldiers walking around?"
In a private house, a woman curiously looked through the crack of the door at the black-armored soldiers walking on the street outside, using carts to transport carts of things, and asked her man curiously.
There was a strong man sitting at the table in the room. Hearing this, he said angrily:
"Like you, I haven't been out early in the morning, so how do I know what happened?
But don’t be too curious. Curiosity kills the cat, so be careful not to get into trouble! "
The woman suddenly muttered angrily: "Can't I just take a look?"
The man sneered: "Look? How many people were involved in this because they saw something they shouldn't have seen, and died without a burial place!"
Don't be curious. Isn't it already noon? Why don't you hurry up and get me something to eat? I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed to my back. Do you still have the time to wonder what those soldiers are doing? "
When the man said this, the woman could only snort aggrievedly, and then walked towards the kitchen.
After the woman walked away, the man got up and came to the door, observing the situation outside through the crack of the door. When he noticed that some of the black-armored soldiers were still covered in blood, and the direction they came from, an idea suddenly came to the man's mind. comes to mind.
"Good guy, these soldiers aren't here to ransack homes, are they?"
Looking at the carts of things that were transported away, they should be the property that was confiscated.
And there is only one family with so many properties in this direction, the Wang family among the four major families!
Thinking of this guess, the muscular man frowned immediately.
The Wang family is in the iron business, and all the iron products in Yunzhou County are produced by the Wang family. Most people living in the north of the city make a living by working for the Wang family's iron smelting workshop. The one who wields a sledgehammer in the shop.
Now that the Wang family has collapsed, what will happen to my future livelihood?
The man suddenly fell into deep thought and began to worry about his future.
There are many people like this man, and many people who work for the Four Family are worried about their livelihood when they see the Four Family’s homes being ransacked. These are also the four families who can run rampant in Yunzhou County. One of the important reasons.
Their industry provided livelihoods to nearly ten thousand people, and by taking them down, the nearly ten thousand people who followed them to earn a living lost their livelihoods.
And no one knows what kind of turmoil it will cause once a person cannot survive.
But it happened that Zhao Jun moved four families.
It's not that he didn't know the consequences of touching these four families, but he still did it.
Why?
Of course it's because he has confidence.
He has the ability to accept those people who are living with the four families!
Just when the four companies were seized, all the properties of the four companies in Yunzhou City were quickly taken over by Feiyun Commercial Bank.
As soon as military control is lifted, Feiyun Trading Company can immediately take over the remaining industries of the four industries. Those who work in the four industries do not have to worry about their livelihood, and there will naturally be no chaos.
Huan Shi, the second battalion here, was confiscating homes, and the first battalion, who had just returned outside Yunzhou City, received Zhao Jun's order as soon as he came back and immediately rushed to hide near Nanyun School Ground.
After Ye Bu Ting saw Cheng Cheng leaving the camp, the First Battalion immediately came to the Nanyun Campus.
Such a large-scale operation naturally attracted the attention of the garrison.
"Who! Do you know where this place is?"
The soldier guarding the gate scolded the leader Ding Hongguang fiercely, trying to prevent them from breaking into the camp.
However, Ding Hongguang did not have the time or energy to waste time with him here. He immediately raised his whip and whipped it towards the guard, and at the same time said loudly:
"How dare you stop me even if you're blind?
Under the order of His Royal Highness King Yun, the First Battalion of the Guards will take over the command of all Yunzhou Army from immediately. If anyone disobeys the military order and obstructs it, he can be killed first and reported later! "
After saying that, without waiting for the guard who was knocked to the ground to reply, he took the lead and rushed into the camp on horseback!
The remaining guards hurriedly made way for the first battalion for fear of being whipped.
After the first battalion entered the camp, it immediately formed into dozens of groups and rushed towards the camp where Cheng Cheng's confidants were. They immediately tightly controlled the middle and senior officers who helped Cheng Cheng control the Yunzhou Army!
Soon, when the news came back that these middle and high-level officials were under control, Ding Hongguang immediately stood in front of the troop ordering platform and sounded the drum for gathering troops!
Twelve links!
The garrison drums sounded for a dozen times, and then the garrison troops in these camps came to the military field one after another.
Seeing the laziness of the garrison troops below, Ding Hongguang, who had always been very strict in running the army, felt his head pounding and he was extremely dissatisfied!
After his men confirmed that everyone was here, Ding Hongguang began to speak.
Looking at the people below, most of them were obviously Yunzhou Army officers and soldiers who had just been recruited as soldiers.
Ding Hongguang forcibly restrained his emotions and kept reminding himself to calm down. These were not real soldiers. Most of them were forced to come by Cheng Cheng. It was understandable that they had low military literacy.
You can't be angry! Can't be angry!
After comforting himself for a while, Ding Hongguang finally vented his emotions, cleared his throat, and then glanced at the numerous garrison troops below before finally speaking slowly:
"According to the order of Prince Yun!
From now on, our first escort battalion will take over the entire Yunzhou Army. All the generals of the Yunzhou Army who were above the rank of capital are temporarily dismissed on the spot. They will be reinstated based on the verification results after the gendarmerie team has completed the verification.
This military order will take effect immediately! "
Ding Hongguang finished speaking. It immediately caused an uproar among the Yunzhou Army below.
The lower-level officers and soldiers had no idea about this order. They just did whatever the superior officers said.
But those generals at and above the capital who had been temporarily dismissed immediately started making noises.
"Why! We don't agree!"
"I disagree! This is the Yunzhou Army, and our superior officer is Cheng Defeng. We don't listen to anyone who guards the first battalion. He, a prince who has just arrived in Yunzhou, has no right to interfere in the affairs of our Yunzhou Army!"
"Brothers, they are messing with their lives! We can't listen to them. Let's drive out their so-called First Battalion of Guards together. Our Yunzhou Army only listens to Commander Cheng's defense. King Yun is nothing!"
"Yes! Drive them out! Drive them out! We only listen to the defense envoy! We will not accept any arbitrary orders from King Yun!"
"Kick them out!"
…
These generals were shouting in the crowd, inspiring people's hearts. Due to their usual power in the army, some soldiers did become a little commotion.
Seeing that the situation was tending to develop out of control, Ding Hongguang made a quick decision and shouted:
"presumptuous!
Do you want to rebel? "
When such a big hat came down, it suddenly became quiet down there.
Just listen to Ding Hongguang continue to say: "King Yun took over Yunzhou County, and the court gave King Yun the tax power and military power of the Yunzhou Army. What does this mean?
This means that from the moment King Yun takes over, His Highness King Yun is the highest military officer in the entire Yunzhou County!
All imperial troops in Yunzhou must be under the control of His Highness King Yun!
Don’t you listen to King Yun? Just listen to the defense envoy?
Haha, do you want the mercenaries to rebel with their own dignity? !
Let me tell you, starting from this year, the military pay of the Yunzhou Army will also be distributed by His Highness King Yun. You eat King Yun’s food but don’t listen to King Yun. What do you want to do? Are you still soldiers of the imperial court? Or maybe you are actually his soldiers, Cheng Cheng? ! "
Ding Hongguang's words immediately silenced all the Yunzhou troops present.
Before the generals could react, Ding Hongguang immediately ordered: "Come here, capture all the traitors who just made noise in the army and intend to rebel. No one is allowed to escape. The resisters will be killed on the spot! Anyone who dares to protect them will be guilty of the same crime." Discuss!"
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of strong men in black armor rushed into the army below and began to arrest the generals who had just opposed.
The surrounding Yunzhou soldiers all hid far away, daring not to help, after what Ding Hongguang said just now. They also knew who was the master of Yunzhou now, and they were not that stupid to defy King Yun for these Shangguan who had bullied them in the past.
Not long after, all the more than 40 generals who had been clamoring and resisting in the army were arrested.
A dozen of them tried to resist but were killed on the spot. Their skulls rolled to the front of the Yunzhou Army. The deaths of these dozen people also made others realize the reality and were suppressed.
Looking at the remaining thirty or so people, Ding Hongguang knew that he had barely gained control of the Yunzhou army by controlling them. There must be Cheng Cheng's people in the army, but the remaining ones were no longer enough to cause trouble. .
In this way, he had completed the task assigned by the prince and brought the Yunzhou Army under control.
Next…
Ding Hongguang looked in the direction of Yunzhou City.
All we can do is wait for news from the prince...
