At sunset, in the yamen of the Ministry of War outside the imperial city, Wang Jiayan slapped the case and shouted angrily: "It's against the sky, it's against the sky, the Ministry of War's orders are not obeyed, these Ma Ke and Tang Tong were ordered to support the troops while the young eunuch was away. Self-respect, even if you want to sit down and bargain at this juncture, you can't do it."
At noon, the Ministry of War issued an order to mobilize troops, and ordered Tang Tong and Ma Ke, who were stationed in Shunyi County, to come to the capital several times to garrison. Unexpectedly, they directly refused: I have the military order, so I will not obey the order!
Wow, when the news came, Wang Jiayan and Shi Kefa couldn't sit still. They went into the palace to report a message and asked the emperor to issue an order to mobilize troops, while they banged the table in the Yamen to vent their anger.
I always feel that something is fishy. Shi Kefa has been silent. It is hard to say that Ma Ke is a person, but Tang Tong is not such a person. When the rebel army went north, Emperor Chongzhen mobilized troops to the capital. King Qin sent countless imperial edicts, but Tang Tong was the only one. One man led eight thousand troops and rushed over.
Loyalty is seen in times of crisis. Tang Tong acted with both loyalty and justice. In addition, he and the young eunuch also went north to support Wu Sangui and made many military exploits. They should not do anything disobedient.
"People's hearts are separated from each other. Who knows what they are planning now? Could it be that although Liu Zeqing and his like resisted the decree, the court did not punish them in any way and instead sent people to appease them and now they are making a lot of money? "Wang Jiayan gritted his teeth in hatred: "So you want to take advantage of the Tatars entering the customs to play this game and take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits?" Then he snorted coldly: "For whatever reason, they are disobeying the order now. Wait. If they continue to disobey the emperor’s decree, they will be rebelling against the decree!”
"Governor Wang, calm down for a moment." Shi Kefa sighed: "Resisting an edict these days does not necessarily mean rebelling. There are so many people resisting edicts, and the court does not dare to label them as rebels for fear of irritating them. As you said, Most of the words are about supporting the soldiers and respecting themselves, but I always feel that Tang Tong and Ma Ke have a hidden secret."
"What secrets could there be..." Wang Jiayan was about to speak when he saw the person who came to the palace to report came back: "Two adults, the father-in-law in the palace has sent word. The emperor has said, don't come if you don't come. Just let the two "As long as you adults do your job well."
The two of them were immediately stunned.
But in the blink of an eye, Shi Kefa thought of something. He was afraid that the matter had something to do with the little eunuch.
Tang Tong said that he had military orders. Whose military orders did he follow?
Naturally, it belongs to the little eunuch. After all, the little eunuch is now ordered to supervise the troops and horses in the capital. He is the boss now, and the Ministry of War or the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army have to face a little further back. The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army has the power to command troops but not to deploy them. The Ministry of War has the power to deploy troops but not to command them. But the little eunuch can both deploy and command troops!
Therefore, it is completely reasonable to say that Tang Tong did not listen to the orders of the Ministry of War at this time!
"It seems that things are not as simple as we imagined, and the peace talks are by no means as peaceful as they appear. The little eunuch is either guarding against the Tatars or planning to plot against the Tatars." Shi Kefa smelled a hint.
"Master Shi, you mean..." Wang Jiayan looked surprised, and he also reacted.
Sanhui Haikou, Tianjin Wei.
In the commanding officer's office in Youwei City, Xiang Minxin had just washed his hands and was lying on a chair. A maid was squeezing his shoulders. He had been exhausted recently.
More than half a month ago, the Qing army crossed the border and frightened him until his legs weakened. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm and the Qing army passed by and went south without attacking the city or harassing him.
The people here just breathed a sigh of relief, and then tens of thousands of Ming troops arrived. Now the people were even more panicked, because the eunuch of Dongchang also came with the army. After he came to power, he rectified military discipline and investigated corruption with vigorous and vigorous methods. There is so much corruption in the military these days that there are few who are clean.
Fortunately, Xiang Minxin went to the camp and spent 50,000 taels of silver to settle the matter with Li Muchian, and the matter was settled without any danger. In fact, it was because Chang Yu had no time to deal with him due to the emergency of the war at that time, and Chang Yu was no longer the one who had just debuted. A single-minded approach will often aggravate the situation.
There is a lot of corruption in the army. When it comes to employing people, you can't just cut them all off with one knife. Who will work for you? Maybe they will all be forced to rebel. So Chang Yu's methods have been softened a lot now. First of all, Calculate the accounts slowly. If you are not a treacherous person, you will be given a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious service.
Xiang Minxin had a guilty conscience and spent 50,000 taels of silver to buy Ping An. On the same day, the Dongchang staff registered the actual number of Tianjin Guards in a register. If he committed the crime again in the future, the consequences would definitely not be the 50,000 taels.
Xiang Minxin, who was lucky enough to escape, must perform well. Chang Yu led his troops south to pursue the enemy the day before yesterday, leaving tens of thousands of troops to train at Tianjin Guards. Xiang Minxin was able to do his best, and he was serving as a father and a mother. While collecting food and grass in the city, he led his troops to provide logistics for the army. He was often busy until midnight before returning home. Today, Lieutenant General suddenly stopped training and ordered the entire army to rest. He came back early, but he didn't even eat dinner.
After relaxing, the servants also prepared the meal. When Xiang Min was really ready to eat, his own soldiers came to report in a hurry: "Sir, the people from Dongchang invite you to come over to discuss matters."
Xiang Minxin frowned. He had just come back there not long ago, so why did he have to go there again? Maybe there was something urgent. He didn't dare to neglect it. He packed up in a hurry and left the city and headed towards Tianjin Wei in the west.
Tianjin Wei actually consists of three acropolises, namely Tianjin Wei and Left and Right Guards. The first city to be built was Tianjin Acropolis in Xiaozhigu, Sancha River. Later, two other acropolis were built. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, the three were combined into one and were called Tianjin Wei. .
Nearly 50,000 infantrymen of the Ming Army camped on the banks of the Sancha River next to the Tianjin Acropolis. These tens of thousands of soldiers had different origins. Some were soldiers from the Beijing camp guarding the capital, some were from the emperor's 26th personal guard, some were Huang Degong's troops, and some were Zhou Yuji and so on.
However, from the first day of military training, the instructor told them clearly that forgetting their own identity, the Guards are not superior to others. Everyone is treated equally here. If you must feel that you are different, then prove it by your ability.
Who is the instructor?
The first battalion under Dongchang’s command is Gong Ziying!
The little eunuch single-handedly formed and trained the direct lineage of the direct lineage. He followed Chang Yu to defeat hundreds of thousands of traitor troops in Taiyuan, went north to Ningyuan to defeat more than 100,000 Qing troops, and went south to Baoding to defeat the traitor army. He made great achievements in battle, both in terms of reputation and reputation. With their strength, they are absolutely qualified to train these soldiers, and even the two generals who stayed here did not dare to look down upon them.
These two generals, Niu Yong under Zhou Yuji and Zhang Jie under Huang Degong, are both battle-hardened generals. They are experienced in both marching and formation. Each of them led more than a hundred men to assist the Gongzi camp on the banks of the Sancha River. Great training.
Chang Yu's military training was very strict, and the Gongzi camp he trained was naturally even more strict. Various physical training, formation drills, tactical cooperation, team confrontation, etc. At the end of the day, the soldiers felt that their bodies were no longer their own, so much so that Li Tiezhu, Fan Jiaqian He is known as a devil in the military.
Although the training is hard, no one complains, because every soldier knows in his heart that there will be a war in the near future. He will sweat more during training and bleed less during war.
What's more important is that the instructors at Gongziying will subtly cultivate his sense of team honor. It's fine during normal training events, but every time it comes to team competitions, he really goes all out, almost like actual combat, just to defend his team. For example, the Ming Dynasty's personal guards want to be superior to others, so how can they be stepped on by others? How can our capital camp guard the emperor's divine soldiers descending from the sky, so that you wild children outside can scare you... Bah, I'm waiting for An Nei Fighting against foreigners, conquering the south, killing bandits and killing Tatars, how dare you, a rookie in captivity, to boast...
Competitions are always full of excitement, but the instructors all like to watch this kind of scene: among a bunch of idiots, our Gongzi camp is the best!
