Li Biao, led by Ma Youcai, came to a restaurant.
Since it was a bit early, there weren't many customers, and there were only three people sitting around one table.
Only one person said: "Brother Du, I heard that President Qian went to the military camp today. Is it okay if you don't go back?"
"Don't worry. I, Old Du, have been through life and death for so many years. What can a little kid do to me? It's really unlucky to think about it. I have to be controlled by a kid."
Li Biao happened to hear this when he came in. He was furious and shouted angrily: "Du Dabao is bold, ignores military regulations, leaves the military camp without permission, and despises the superior officer. The general has ordered that Du Dabao be captured and brought back to the camp to enforce military law."
Two guards came up and directly pressed Du Dabao onto the table.
Du Dabao struggled and shouted: "You guys, let me go. If you dare to arrest me, I won't let you go."
One of the guards swung the handle of the knife and hit Du Dabao in the mouth, making him shut his mouth obediently, and then tied him up directly.
The two people at the same table stood up to stop him: "Who are you? Let go quickly, or don't blame us for being rude."
Several personal guards stepped forward and blocked the two of them with their swords drawn horizontally.
"The general has orders. Anyone who dares to resist or obstruct us will be shot to death. I hope you will think clearly before taking action."
Looking at the shining steel knife, the two sat back obediently.
Li Biao waved his hand and escorted Du Dabao out of the restaurant.
Ma Youcai remained silent from beginning to end and followed Li Biao silently.
Through this incident, he has already seen that his general is a very strong person, and the guards around him are all elite soldiers. They will execute the general's orders unconditionally.
"Swallowing the Starry Sky: Sign in to Become a God"
He was parachuted in to be the CEO at such a young age. There must be someone above him, and I don’t know if he will be easy to get along with?
Everyone quickly returned to the military camp and escorted Du Dabao to Jia Cong.
Looking at Du Dabao kneeling in front of him, Jia Cong waved his hand and was escorted to the school field.
Jia Cong was too lazy to waste words on such a person who was ignorant of current affairs.
Summoning five hundred cavalrymen to gather on the school grounds, Jia Cong shouted loudly: "Du Dabao disobeyed military law, left the camp privately, despised his superiors, and deserves to be punished for his crime. Come on, chop him down to correct military regulations."
Two personal guards stepped forward and pushed Du Dabao to the ground. They were really going to kill him.
Du Dabao was really scared this time and begged for mercy loudly: "General, spare your life. I know I was wrong. Please go around me once, general. I won't dare to do it again in the future."
Ma Youcai cupped his hands and said: "General, although Du Dabao made mistakes, he fought bravely and made many military exploits. This time, he was in trouble for a while. General, please be merciful and spare his life."
Zhu Dachang, Zhang Xiaowu, and Lin Feng also came forward to plead for mercy.
"I beg the general to show mercy and spare him this time."
Jia Cong also didn't expect that this guy was so popular that several people would actually plead for him together.
Since he had just arrived, he naturally couldn't offend everyone. Since they all begged for mercy for him, he should be spared once.
"You can plead for him together. It seems that this person has some merits. I will give you a face and spare his life. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is difficult to forgive. Come on, beat the eighty army stick again. Serve as a warning to others.”
Everyone cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness."
Du Dabao escaped from death and regained his life. He quickly kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, General, for your kindness. This time, my subordinates were in trouble for a while. I will never dare to do it again in the future."
The soldiers came forward and pulled him aside and beat him with eighty sticks. It was estimated that he would have to lie down for ten and a half days before he could get up.
Jia Cong glanced at his soldiers and shouted loudly: "From today on, you are my soldiers. I don't have much to say. I only have one sentence: Military orders are like mountains, and anyone who disobeys them will be killed."
Starting from tomorrow, we will train all day long, with physical fitness and riding skills in the morning and confrontation training in the afternoon. Sweat more during normal times and bleed less during war. I hope you can come back alive every time you go to the battlefield. "
Ma Youcai said worriedly: "General, we are training all day long, and the rations are not enough. The current rations can only keep everyone from going hungry. If we increase the amount of training, it will not be enough."
Jia Cong frowned and said, "How much military pay and rations can you get in a month?"
Zhu Dachang said: "Report to the general, we can get 60%."
The cavalry only gets 60% of the military pay. These people are really dark.
However, this Dachu official is like this from top to bottom, and he can't control it. It seems that he can only pay for it out of his own pocket.
"I will find a way to deal with the military rations. I won't let everyone go hungry. You should pay close attention to the training. Someone will come in a few days to take you to train."
"I will obey the order!"
Jia Cong returned to the main tent and arranged for a group of soldiers to return to Heishan Village.
The recruits in Heishan Village have been training for three months, and they already look like soldiers. Zhang Dakui was asked to lead one hundred recruits to Guangning Military Camp and be responsible for leading everyone to train together.
In addition, when transporting a batch of grain from Heishan Village to Guangning, his two hundred soldiers need to be raised by themselves, and some of them need to be supplemented for the five hundred subordinates. At least they need to be well fed so that they can have the strength to train.
One day later, Zhang Dakui rushed to the military camp in Guangning with one hundred new soldiers and one thousand dan of grain.
He took over the training work of the entire cavalry battalion and was responsible for training 500 cavalry and 200 guards.
This cavalry battalion not only has cavalry, but also grooms and handymen who specialize in raising war horses.
Jia Cong took this opportunity to transfer the Montenegro hunting team and militia guards into the military camp as grooms and handymen, specifically responsible for taking care of the guards' horses, and training with the teams in their free time.
Counting this way, Jia Cong had nearly 900 soldiers ready to fight.
They all say that there are people up there who can do things easily, and the commander-in-chief, He Shiyuan, is taking care of them.
He turned a blind eye to his own behavior, and when other people saw this, no one meddle in their own business.
He Shiyuan thought that Jia Cong was a child at heart and came to the military camp just for fun, and he would naturally leave when he had enough fun.
As long as I am responsible for not letting him get into trouble during this period of time and ensuring his safety, let him do the rest.
In addition to training with everyone, Jia Cong also often went to the Governor's Mansion and got to know some other generals.
He was rich and not stingy. He often invited these generals to have a drink together and occasionally gave them small gifts. Gradually, he got to know the generals in Guangning.
Although they may not necessarily have a deep friendship, they are very harmonious on the surface, and it is much easier to do things.
······
At this time, Jia Cong's memorial had also reached the hands of Emperor Longqing.
Looking at the memorial in his hand, Emperor Longqing was a little speechless. What kind of luck does this kid have?
I have also heard about this Sanbeile Mang Gurtai. He is brave and good at fighting. He is a powerful general of the barbarians. In the past few years, he also defeated the generals of Chu.
Was he killed by this kid so easily?
Are the generals of Da Chu too incompetent? Or is this guy too awesome?
If this matter is true, there will definitely be a big war between the Mongolian Khalkha and the barbarians. By then, the strength of both sides will be greatly damaged, which will be very beneficial to Da Chu. This kid has really made a great contribution.
This kid is so brave. He actually dares to run to the Mongolian grasslands. The key is that the idea behind this is too bold.
It's really hard for me to make a decision on this matter. Most of the military power is in the hands of my father, and I still need him to speak.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh. It had been ten years, and the Supreme Emperor had interfered in the government affairs from time to time, which made him have no prestige at all as an emperor.
It is said that there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. When will the two suns hang in the sky?
Emperor Longqing came to Taiji Palace with the memorial and saluted the Supreme Emperor who was sitting in the main hall.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father and wish him good health."
The Supreme Emperor nodded and said, "Why is the Emperor here? Is there something wrong?"
"When I go back to my father, I have something to make up my mind about, so I came to my father to come up with an idea."
He walked forward and handed the memorial in his hand to the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor was a little surprised after reading the memorial.
Although he has retreated to the second line in recent years, he still controls more than half of the military power, and he is also well aware of the situation in North Korea and the movements of Shenjing City.
I have heard of this boy Jia Cong. The Linhe tribute wine that I like to drink was invented by this boy.
It is said that he has a flexible mind and likes to tinker with weird things. He also presented several technologies to the emperor, which made a great contribution to the country.
Unexpectedly, this time he ran to the grassland and accidentally destroyed the barbarian mission and killed one of the old slaves' sons.
"If this matter is true, it would be a great good thing for me, Dachu. Let the Xiuyi Guards of Liaodong find out the truth first and pay close attention to the movements of the barbarians.
If there really is a war, there will be movement from the barbarians. As for whether to send troops, you can make your own decision. "
"Yes, I will send the embroidered guards to investigate. I will leave."
After returning to the imperial study, Emperor Longqing asked Dai Quan to notify the Xiuyi Guards in Liaodong to investigate the movements of the barbarians.
It won't be too late to make a decision once we have the exact information.
After waiting for more than half a month, news from Liaodong came one after another.
"Reporting to my master, news came from the Xiuyi Guards in Liaodong that the barbarians are gathering an army, and the specific movements are unknown."
One day later, another news came.
"Master, we have found out clearly that the old slave's son Mang Gurtai died on the Khalkha grassland together with the barbarian envoys. The old slave is furious and has ordered an army to conquer Khalkha. The army is gathering. "
When Emperor Longqing heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. The little guy Jia Cong really didn't lie to him. He had made a great contribution this time. He was really his lucky general!
"Dai Quan, go and invite some elders of the cabinet, and then invite Li Guanglu, the Minister of War."
"Old slave obeys the order!"
Dai Quan agreed, exited the imperial study, went to invite several pavilion elders, and arranged for a young eunuch to inform the Minister of War.
Not long after, everyone came to the imperial study room together.
"I bow to your majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said: "Everyone is on your own, let me show you the memorial first."
Dai Quan gave Jia Cong's copy of the memorial to his chief assistant Hu Yong.
Hu Yong calmly read it and passed it on. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this little guy is so capable that he actually ran to the grassland.
After everyone had read it, Emperor Longqing asked: "Dear ladies, what do you think of this memorial? What are your thoughts?"
Liu Jin stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have some doubts. I have also seen Jia Cong. He is only twelve years old this year. Even if he has guards, can he really wipe out a hundred barbarians?"
Li Guanglu, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, also raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I have also received Jia Cong's report, but I did not know whether it was true or false for a while, and did not dare to come to disturb the emperor.
That Mang Gurtai was a powerful barbarian, a figure who gave me countless headaches for Chu soldiers, but he was actually shot to death with an arrow. This sounds a bit incredible. I also asked my subordinates in Liaodong to inquire, but there is no definite information yet. "
Hu Yong said: "Your Majesty, although I don't know Jia Cong very well, I still feel that it is impossible for him to deceive the emperor. This kind of thing cannot be concealed at all. You can know the truth by asking.
If things happen as he expected, it would be a good thing for me, Da Chu. As for the following suggestions, some are too risky, so I need to consider them carefully. "
Emperor Longqing said: "The news has been confirmed. This matter is true. The old slave can't hide the pain of losing his son. He has ordered the expedition to the Khalkha Prairie and is already gathering troops.
Today I want to discuss with you, should we take advantage of the war between the two sides to send troops to retake Fushun, Tieling, Kaiyuan and other places? "
The second assistant, Yang Huaidao, said: "Your Majesty, please don't. We don't know what the situation is now, so we can't make a decision rashly. If the old slave doesn't lose much, and then turns around to deal with us, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Li Rong said: "Your Majesty, if our soldiers are confident, when the fight between them becomes fierce, we can attack and capture these places. If we are not sure, it is better to be conservative."
There is some truth to this. In the past, my soldiers were beaten back by the old slaves, otherwise Fushun and other places would not be lost.
This matter still depends on the military to see if it has this capability.
"Li Aiqing, what do you think of the military department? Are you sure you can take back Fushun and other places?"
Others may not know it, but as Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Guanglu knows the situation in Liaodong very well. At most, only 30% of the soldiers can actually fight. In this case, he really dare not make a guarantee, so he can only throw the blame away.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Khalkha and Lao Nu haven't really fought against each other yet, and the final result is even more unpredictable. It's better to wait until they fight and see the specific situation before it's too late for us to make a decision."
Although it sounded reasonable, Emperor Longqing was not satisfied with this answer.
This time the Supreme Emperor finally relented and allowed himself to make this decision. Judging from the intentions of these people, no one wanted to fight. They all wanted to be safe and would not fight if they could.
In fact, Emperor Longqing was not like this. He didn't care whether he had one more city or one less city.
What he cares about is his own rights and how to be more stable. What he cares about is when the Emperor can completely let go and allow himself to completely control the country.
Emperor Longqing looked at Hu Yong and asked, "Hu Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be decided?"
Hu Yong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although this matter is an opportunity for us, we still have to see how far they can fight. If their losses are too small, we should stay put."
Seeing that Hu Yong said the same thing, Emperor Longqing had no choice but to admit it.
"Li Aiqing, give an order to Liaodong, asking them to pay attention to the movements of both parties at all times and wait for opportunities to act based on the actual situation. By the way, where is that boy Jia Cong now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Jia Cong has joined the Guangning Army and holds the post of Chief Qian."
