Before Liu Zhaosun came to Shenyang, he knew that the Nan soldiers would one day meet the Liao Zhen soldiers, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.
Even if the soldier lying on the ground really stole the food of the Liao people and injured the people, and he should be executed according to the law, it would not be the turn of this mob to kill him!
Moreover, these troublemakers are not real people. Many of them are soldiers pretending to be soldiers. Liao Town is so aggressive that it is intolerable!
What really touched Liu Zhaosun's bottom line and what he couldn't bear was the betrayal of his friends.
No matter how powerful the external enemy is, as long as there is no internal chaos, there will still be room for maneuver.
Liu Zhaosun had always been kind to Kang Yingqian. After Liu Wei's death, he began to regard the supervisor as an elder and respected him very much. He once used him as the backup of the East Route Army in the civil service system.
Unexpectedly, this person was still double-dealing, making bets everywhere, and only regarded warriors as bargaining chips in the transaction.
Although mutual use is the norm in officialdom, Kang Yingqian's current changes make him very uncomfortable.
Kang Yingqian didn't know that Liu Zhaosun had seen through him and was still nagging him to withdraw from Liaodong.
"Zhao Sun, the Liao people are fierce now, and the white-armed soldiers cannot stop it. I am an old friend of your adoptive father, so I am giving you these instructions. It is a crime for Liao Town. Didn't Sir Jinglue give you 30,000 taels of silver?" ? Send some to some adults in Liao Town. Don’t stay in Liaodong anymore. Take these southern soldiers and Sichuan soldiers back to the pass. The southwest is uneven and the court is about to use troops. After all, these southern soldiers should stay in the south. ,"
Liu Zhaosun looked at the remediation broker coldly and said nothing. Kang Yingqian continued:
"If your wise nephew is young and energetic and can't show off his face, I will act as your lobbyist and it won't hurt the harmony between the two armies."
Liu Zhaosun couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily:
"If we leave Liaodong without an order to mobilize troops, how about the court blaming us? Besides, what will happen to these refugees?"
"refugee?"
Kang Yingqian was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Zhaosun with sympathy, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"You really think of yourself as the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha. How many of the millions of Liao people can you save? As for the court, the court now wants you to go back. If you continue to stay in Liaodong, how will you be rewarded if you make meritorious deeds again? By the way, news has come from the capital. The promised reward for slaying the slave Chief Beile was 8,000 taels, and the soldiers were also rewarded. I’m afraid the Holy One doesn’t want to spend this money!”
Liu Zhaosun had long known that the old Emperor Wanli was selfish and stingy, but he did not expect that he would be so shameless. The soldiers fought bloody battles on the front line, and the soldiers were in arrears, not even the promised silver reward. If this is the case, there will be nothing worth guarding in this Ming Dynasty.
Kang Yingqian's servant ran over from a distance and whispered something. The expression on Kang Yingqian's face changed, he turned to Liu Zhaosun and said:
"My dear nephew, my servant has just reported that a Liao army has arrived from the north of Shenyang. There are thousands of them. They should be General He's troops. It would be better for me to talk to him than if he brings troops here to talk."
First, the so-called Liao people came to the Nanbing camp to redress their grievances and cause trouble, and then the soldiers and horses of Liao Town came out to administer justice. In the future, even if the troubles reached the court, it would be difficult for the Nanbing people to distinguish themselves.
It was indeed a good method. Liu Zhaosun would not believe it if there was no traitor to help with what happened today.
He even suspected that besides Kang Yingqian, there were other people around him who had also been bribed by Liao Zhen.
At this time, Kang Yingqian thought that he was sure of winning, and looked at Liu Zhaosun proudly, but he did not show the common reserve of civil servants at all. This appearance was too ugly.
"Master Kang, haven't you always wanted to leave Shenyang and seek a job in the capital? With Liu's certificate of surrender, Liao Town will definitely remember your great achievements. There are still people in the court who can speak for you. Your wish to go to Jiangxi as an official can also be fulfilled. Achieved,"
Kang Yingqian didn't expect Liu Zhaosun to say this, so he snorted and said with disdain:
"Remember when you were in the Hunjiang River, you had people throw away the cannons. Did you know that the cannons could also be poured into copper coins? You just sank millions of coins to the bottom of the river just to free up the carriages and transport a few more dead pigs. Go back! When you go to Liaodong this time, you gave all the food Yang Hao gave you to these untouchables! Liao Town asked you to go back to the pass, but you refused to leave.
"Liu Zhaosun! You don't want money, you don't want your life, you don't know how to advance or retreat, and you don't know what is good or bad. I would like to ask, what do you want?!"
Liu Zhaosun laughed dumbly, stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword.
"Master Kang, you adults only have money in your eyes. The lives of tens of thousands of our soldiers are as lowly as grass. We are untouchables when we open our mouths and are silent."
Liu Zhaosun took a step forward with his sword in hand.
"I also ask you, do you think you are more important to me, or money?"
Kang Yingqian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said angrily:
"You? What's wrong? Liu Zhaosun, do you want to make an enemy of me, the Ming Dynasty Shilin?"
Liu Zhaosun smiled noncommittally and put the sword back into its sheath.
"It's important to me without you."
"Today, I will not kill you, you scum of the Ming Dynasty. I want you to see how we weeds can light up the plains of Liaodong!"
Kang Yingqian said angrily:
"General He is coming soon, and there are other generals from Liao Town, Liu Zhaosun, if you want to die, don't get involved with me!"
Liu Zhaosun ignored Kang Yingqian, winked at his servant, turned around and walked towards the troubled Liao people.
A group of close servants followed Liu Zhaosun, holding up shields to protect the guard. From time to time, stones were thrown from a distance, making the shields bang.
Some fanatical refugees guarded the adults, picking up stones on the ground and fighting back at the mob on the opposite side.
Liu Zhaosun ignored the flying stones above his head, pushed aside the shield in front of him, and strode to the front of the formation formed by the white pole soldiers.
A short, stocky and powerful Liao citizen, surrounded by several companions, cursed and pushed away the spear in front of him, shaking the white-poled soldiers vigorously.
"You're a bunch of bastards, they're a bunch of losers, they're running wild on our Liaodong territory!"
The white-pole soldiers had already received orders from Qin Jianxun to only defend and not to injure anyone, so no matter how provocative the other side was, they just held back.
Seeing that no one answered, the Liao civilian thought it was the southern soldiers who were afraid, so he continued walking forward with his nostrils in the sky. When he saw a tall man who looked like a general, he stopped, raised his head, pointed at Liu Zhaosun and cursed in the eyes:
"What are you looking at? You southern barbarians not only went to my land to cut firewood and catch roe deer, but now you also rob things and beat people. It's really bullying! You have no law, right! Don't think you are a military leader. If you dare to act recklessly, when I was in Jizhou, I saw a lot of Southern barbarians, some of them more ferocious than you, why don't you let me kill them!"
Liu Zhaosun looked at the man in front of him coldly, thinking that this man should have participated in the Jizhou mutiny and killed many southern soldiers. This man was not ashamed, but wanted to use this matter to intimidate Liu Zhaosun, but he did not want to touch Liu Zhaosun's most sensitive nerve.
At that moment, Liu Zhaosun became murderous:
"We give money to the villagers to cut firewood and make fires. As for hunting, there are so many wild animals in the white mountains and black waters. There is not enough for you to hunt?"
The Liao people refused to listen and said angrily:
"You still dare to talk back! You southern barbarian, go back to the pass. I would rather let the Tatars from Kuandian come to Shenyang to hunt than let you hunt!"
A refugee from Liaodong who was crowding around the garrison said angrily:
"You are so shameless. Are you a Han or a Tatar? How dare you speak to the Lord like this, even though you have been stabbed a thousand times. It's your fault that the Tatars didn't arrest you as a prisoner! I won't kill you if I don't. Today I will also clean up the house for the Liao people!"
The Liao citizen opposite came over and grabbed the refugee by the collar, his neck turned red from holding it in:
"You are a bunch of rip-offs. Instead of helping us Liao people, you act like a dog-legger to the southern barbarians. You worship a charlatan barbarian as a god. That's bullshit! I'm a wrapper, you're not even as good as a wrapper!"
The refugee stopped talking nonsense with him, took out the dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed towards the opposite side.
Liu Zhaosun quickly grabbed the dagger and scolded his servants for taking the refugees away.
The Liao civilian opposite thought that the southern soldiers were afraid of him, so he became more and more aggressive. He punched Liu Zhaosun in front of him and cursed at the bottom of his mouth:
"I'm going to beat you today, what are you going to do! If you dare to move, I..."
Before he could finish his words, someone suddenly grabbed his neck, and his body was lifted high like a chicken. His feet were kicked on the ground, and his face turned red from the pain.
The sturdy Liao civilian looked at the general standing in front of him with horror, and found that the opponent actually picked him up with one hand. He was so frightened that he punched the opponent's arm. Liu Zhaosun stood there motionless like a black tower.
"In the military formation, anyone who attacks or insults a superior officer shall be beheaded according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"
"You! You! And you!"
Liu Zhaosun carried the stocky mobster in his right hand, and pointed at several Liao Town soldiers who were eager to take action with his left hand.
The one who was caught was the most ferocious leader of the servants under Lord Commander-in-Chief, and now he was at the mercy of Liu Zhaosun like a lamb. The calves of the other servants who rushed in front began to tremble, and their majestic aura was no longer there, and they all wanted to run away.
"You just threw stones to hurt people and plotted to assassinate Shangguan. You should all be executed!"
When several servants heard this, they stepped back involuntarily. Only Huang Sheng's expression remained unchanged and he said loudly:
"You are massacring the people of Liao, but you still want to rebel! To tell you the truth, General He is on the way, and there are others..."
Before the student could finish his words, his body suffered a heavy blow and flew more than ten steps away, hitting a group of panicked mobs.
Pei Dahu put away his mace and looked coldly at the life-long man on the ground.
Liu Zhaosun crushed the servant's throat with force between his fingers, threw him out, and said loudly:
"I don't care if you congratulate Commander-in-Chief Wang, Commander-in-Chief Wang, insult the superior officer, or confuse people in front of the battle line, you should all be executed!"
"Eastern Route Army, form a formation and kill the enemy!"
"Tiger!"
The southern soldiers, whose anger was approaching the limit, shouted loudly and quickly formed a formation, with spears in front and swords and shields behind, they marched in order and killed the mob in front.
The white-pole soldiers blocking the front quickly moved out of the way. The white-pole soldiers were so excited that they looked at the commander-in-chief Qin Jianxun.
Qin Jianxun gritted his teeth, looked at the direction of Nanbing's attack, and shouted:
"Form up a formation and charge forward!"
The Hupiyi mob, which had been as powerful as wolves just now, collapsed. Several generals hiding in the crowd quickly called on the lower-level soldiers to evacuate.
He may have been used to escaping from previous battles with the Tatars. These people were familiar with the roads and escaped very quickly. They disappeared in the wilderness south of Shenyang in the blink of an eye.
Some Liao civilians who couldn't run behind were overtaken by the Southern soldiers. The Southern soldiers who had already killed them didn't even look at who was lying on the ground. They just stabbed them with their spears and chased all the way to the north...
Two hours later.
Liu Zhaosun summoned all his officers at the commander-in-chief and flag-general levels to discuss matters at the South Gate Campus.
More than thirty familiar and unfamiliar faces appeared in front of the garrison master. In the distance, five thousand new troops continued to train.
"You are all old men who followed me from Hunjiang to Shenyang. When I was just the general, I learned Qi Shuai's art of war during marches and battles. Fortunately, I won a few battles and received some rewards. I know that some of you are dissatisfied. "
"The rewards from the imperial court are about to come out. The emperor will reward me eight thousand taels of silver. Everyone will be rewarded! Now the slave thieves are not far away and it is difficult to control the Liao town. You should work together to help me train the new army and repel the slaves. Everyone. The future is limitless,
When Liu Zhaosun said this, he looked around and his eyes fell on the commander below.
Pei Dahu's face was gloomy and he immediately went down to summon his servants.
"Bring Zhao Tianxing up!"
Two servants escorted Zhao Tianxing to the general platform.
"Zhao Tianxing! You are guarding Mr. Kang. The day before yesterday, he went to He Shixian's place and plotted to murder Nan Bing. Did you participate in it?!"
"Our southern soldiers are in a difficult situation in Liaodong. You don't think about your own officers or the guest soldiers. You are so heartless and crazy. Do you still have your conscience?"
Zhao Tianxing struggled desperately and knocked down the two servants. Liu Zhaosun stepped forward to subdue him. Zhao Tianxing raised his head and said angrily:
"Liu Zhaosun! If you want to kill the emperor, why bother to pretend to be benevolent and righteous! I have been fighting under Liu Wei for more than ten years. I have been exposed to fire and swords, but in the end I am still a general! You are just his adopted son. In just a few days, you have been promoted to a general. , you went against Liao Zhen for your own future, and you also wanted to kill our brother! I think you are the one who has no conscience! You are crazy! Kang Yingqian said that after the matter is completed, give me a guerrilla general... ··”
Liu Zhaosun waved his hand before he could finish speaking.
"Behead it! Take the head to each camp and show it to the public!!"
