Regarding the commotion outside, Ping An and Sheng Yong in Dusi Yamen had already received the news and just ignored it.
Sheng Yong thought the fire was not big enough, so he added a handful of dry firewood and asked people to spread the word: "The three guards of King Yan are not within the New Army's policy and do not enjoy all the benefits of the New Army's policy."
Zhou Duo quit, and the soldiers behind him couldn't believe their ears.
What's the meaning?
When I am a soldier, I eat food from the imperial court and work hard for the imperial court. When it comes time to implement the new army strategy, I kick us away?
Why don't you give us such good treatment?
We are also soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and we also have the right to enjoy the policies of the new army!
Why not give it to us?
unfair!
Soldiers are all full of blood. In ordinary times, they smash the table and show their knives for a few pennies. Now it is not only for themselves, but also for generations of future generations. Can you not be anxious?
Zhou Duo led people to make a fuss, and everyone was making noises that made people uneasy. Pingan couldn't stand those people who scolded their mothers, so he directly ordered the arrests, and arrested Zhou Duo and more than 120 people, and tied them all at the gate of Dusi Yamen.
There are more and more people watching the excitement, and the noise is getting louder and louder.
Prince Yan's Mansion.
Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Yuan Rong, and Li Rang were discussing how to deal with the new army. Before they came up with a plan to block the news, the guards hurriedly came to report: "It's not good, Qianhu Zhou Duo took people to the Dusi Yamen. He was arrested by Du Si."
"What?"
Zhang Yu's old face sank.
Zhou Duo was his subordinate. Zhang Yu knew that this man was an ordinary man with no brains, but he was brave and loyal, so he entrusted him with important tasks. He didn't expect that this guy would cause trouble for him at this time.
"After Zhou Duo's subordinates heard about it, more than 500 people went to Dusi Yamen and demanded that Master Zhou Duo be released."
The guard continued to report.
Zhang Yu felt cold all over.
Zhou Duo led a few people to cause trouble and was arrested. It was not difficult to solve the problem. It took hundreds of people to attack the Dusi Yamen. Dusi had every reason to kill everyone.
What made Zhang Yu feel most uneasy was that the three guards of King Yan were attacking Dusi Yamen!
If Du Si judged that the three guards of King Yan were rebellious and mobilized a large army to destroy the three guards, then no one would be able to say anything wrong. Even if this matter spread to the ears of other vassal kings, no one would sympathize.
Because attacking the imperial government offices is in itself treason and rebellion!
Kill you without negotiation!
"Ready your horse, hurry up!"
Zhang Yu knew how serious the problem was. If he was not careful, the three guards of King Yan would be destroyed! Without the three guards of King Yan, what qualifications does King Yan have to establish a foothold in Beiping Mansion?
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng hurriedly left Prince Yan's Mansion, while Yuan Rong and Li Rang ran down to the backyard of Prince Yan's Mansion to find Xu Yihua to discuss countermeasures.
Ping An and Sheng Yong stood outside the Dusi Yamen. Hundreds of soldiers were armed with long spears and long knives at their waists, guarding them in a half-moon shape. At a high place, there were even crossbowmen, drawing their bows and arrows, aiming at those who came to cause trouble. The left guard of King Yan.
The new army's strategy will win over people's hearts.
At this time, Ping'an and Shengyong had won the trust of the entire army. In addition, the fourth article of the new army's policy stipulated that those who obey orders without delay, execute effectively, and have meritorious service can be promoted to a hundred households.
Who doesn’t want to be promoted?
Who wants to be a top soldier all the time?
As long as Ping An gives the order, all soldiers will charge forward without fear of death to prove their loyalty to the court and their support for the new army's strategy!
It no longer matters whether these people are his old friends.
Soldiers have a duty to obey orders!
Qianhu Yu Qiong, the left guard of King Yan, led people outside Dusi Gate. Looking at the surrounding situation, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. How come this battle seems to be about killing people?
Yu Qiong is not a fool. He is no match for Dusi's people. He is ready with guns and arrows, and if he still breaks in, he is simply seeking death.
"Put down your weapons and stop messing around!"
Yu Qiong ordered.
After everyone heard this, they dropped their weapons on the ground.
Yu Qiong led Ni Qiong and others from a hundred households forward, stood outside the forest of guns, and shouted to Ping An and Sheng Yong: "Master Dusi, command Master Shi. Zhou Duo just asked why the new army's strategy did not include the three guards of King Yan. There’s no need to fight like this, right?”
"Who are you?"
Sheng Yong shouted.
"I, King Yan, are guarding Qianhu Yu Qiong from your left!"
"Come here, tie me up!"
Sheng Yong gave an order, and more than a dozen soldiers came forward, directly pushed Yu Qiong to the ground, and tied him up. The hundreds of households nearby did not run away. When the soldiers behind him saw this, they became anxious.
If the bosses are caught and the boys don’t get involved, how will they be able to gain a foothold in the future?
rush!
Rescue Mr. Baihu and Mr. Qianhu!
Just when the soldiers were making a commotion and were about to take action, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng finally arrived. Zhang Yu whipped the soldiers blocking the way aside with a whip and shouted sternly: "Guard on the left dares to go out without asking for orders? Who gave the order?" How confident are you? Where is this place? Is it the Dusi Yamen? Is this a place where you can come? Get back here!"
Zhang Yu is Zhu Di's number one general. He loves his soldiers and has high prestige in the army.
In the past, as long as Zhang Yu said a word, everyone would charge into battle and die on the battlefield without hesitation, but today, these soldiers don't want to leave!
"Master Zhang, we want new army strategies!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Yu were arrested because they stood up for us!"
"The imperial court's new army policy and excellent soldiers, why don't we deserve to enjoy the new army policy? It's not fair!"
"Yes, that's unfair! We are also soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Please Lord Zhang, seek justice for us!"
All the soldiers knelt down one after another.
Zhang Yu couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he saw the proud soldier kneeling in front of him.
The policy of the new army is related to the soldiers themselves, their families, and their descendants. They kneel down today not only for themselves, but also for the sake of their families and future generations!
Zhang Yu knew how powerful the new army's strategy was. It could turn soldiers who were originally subordinate to the vassal king into soldiers of the imperial court!
If Zhu Di wants to seek power and target the imperial court again in the future, these soldiers will not obey orders!
Why?
Because Zhu Di will not care about their descendants for four generations!
Because Zhu Di would not give them such generous retirement conditions!
Because Zhu Di couldn't find the money to treat their family members!
Because they died, Zhu Di couldn't come up with so much money to compensate them.
…
Zhang Yu can imagine that if the new army strategy is implemented among the three guards of King Yan, and the hearts of all the soldiers return to the imperial court, one day Zhu Di will rise up and become the enemy of the imperial court, then the first enemy will not be the imperial army, but his own soldiers !
For themselves, for the sake of their families and descendants, they would never and dare not become enemies of the imperial court!
No troops available!
No troops to drive away!
How can we fight that battle?
Zhang Yu can't fight such a battle!
Even if Xu Da is reincarnated and Chang Yuchun is resurrected, they will not be able to fight such a battle!
However, if the new army strategy is not implemented among the three guards of King Yan, how can the three guards of King Yan be willing to do so?
There was trouble today, so I took care of it myself.
What about tomorrow?
What about the day after tomorrow?
It is the human nature to worry not about scarcity but about inequality!
In the past, everyone ate Chinese cabbage, and there was nothing to say.
But what people eat now is meat, and I still eat cabbage. How can it be the same?
The poor brother who was with me will serve for twenty years soon. He can go home and live happily. Think about yourself, even if you die of old age in the military camp, there will be no benefit at all. Who will have the time to train?
If people's hearts are wandering, big problems will occur sooner or later.
Zhang Yu felt that it was a knot, so tight that he couldn't breathe.
Untied, no. It won’t work if you don’t untie it!
Zhu Neng rode his horse to Zhang Yu's side and whispered: "We might as well introduce the anger into the court."
Zhang Yu's eyes lit up. If he pushed the responsibility for the new army's failure to follow the three guards of the King of Yan to the imperial court, it would be discrimination by the court, looking down on the three guards of the King of Yan, and not treating the three guards of the Yan King as soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
With a little guidance, if the three guards of King Yan are made to hate the imperial court, then these people will be completely loyal to King Yan and willing to follow King Yan to take action!
This move is ruthless!
Zhang Yu glanced at Zhu Neng with admiration and shouted to everyone: "The new army's strategy has won the hearts of the army, but it is inappropriate for the court to exclude the three guards of King Yan alone. Zhang went to the Dusi Yamen in person to ask the previous one Ask, what does the imperial court think, why is it unfair to the three guards, why is it unfair to our soldiers!"
Those words made the three guards of King Yan extremely grateful.
Zhang Yu dismounted and walked towards Dusi Yamen.
Ping An and Sheng Yong ordered the soldiers to move aside.
Ping An stepped forward, raised his hands and shouted: "Brother Shimei, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still healthy."
Zhang Yu, courtesy name Shimei.
Ping'an had accompanied Zhu Di on his northern expedition and was familiar with Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others.
Zhang Yu had a cold face and shouted loudly: "Peace, let's talk about old times later. I am here today and want to ask why the new army's strategy is not included in the three guards of King Yan?"
Ping An laughed loudly and said, "Since General Zhang asked, Ping An will answer you."
After saying that, he safely climbed onto a high platform, glanced at the onlookers, the Peking soldiers, and the three guards of King Yan, and shouted loudly: "The strategy of the new army was created by the emperor. The Beijing camp goes first, and both the army and the people obey it! The emperor expresses his gratitude to the soldiers on the frontier. For the rest of my life, I will strive to find new army strategies and join the entire army as soon as possible!"
"The Emperor is well aware that the three guards of the King of Yan, who have been fighting for many years and have worked hard and achieved great results, should be the first to enjoy the strategy of the new army. He personally went to Prince Yan's Mansion in the capital and entrusted the strategy of the new army to the King of Yan, who will go ahead with the three guards and then push it to the other guards in Beiping."
"However, the King of Yan repeatedly declined and refused to allow the new army to enter the three guards. The advice of Xu Huizu, the governor of the Chinese Army, was also ineffective. The emperor then handed over the new army's strategy to the Beiping Dusi, who was fully responsible for the new army's strategy. , excluding three guards!”
"The policy of not allowing the three guards to join the new army is not because of the emperor's disapproval, not because of the imperial court's disapproval, not because of the disapproval of Dusi, but because of the disapproval of the King of Yan! The Dusi can clearly tell you here and tell all the soldiers and civilians in Peiping that as long as the King of Yan does not allow it, Nod your head, and the three guards can enjoy all the benefits of the New Army Policy in an instant!"
"Everyone, is there anything else you want to ask?! Brother Shimei, are you satisfied with this answer? Haha, is it clear now? This is what King Yan meant..."
After Ping An said this, he walked down the platform and went straight back to the Yamen without even looking at Ping An and the others.
Sheng Yong walked towards Zhang Yu, cupped his fists and said: "General Zhang, the court has urgently reported this matter. It is indeed the King of Yan who did not allow it, not the court and the emperor. But no matter what the reason, these soldiers broke into Dusi Yamen without authorization, but they cannot So gentle!"
"Then please Shanda people act according to the law!"
Zhang Yu has never felt so defeated, his face is burning, it is a feeling of shame!
Sheng Yong looked at Zhang Yu's staggering back, sneered, glanced at the tied people, and ordered: "Everyone has fifty sticks, and next time, they will all be executed!"
Fifty sticks!
Everyone was horrified.
Regardless of the soldier's good physique, if he really hits hard, not to mention fifty sticks, even twenty sticks are enough to beat someone to death.
Besides, these stick-wielding soldiers had just enjoyed the benefits of the new army, and they were full of energy. It was understandable that they used too much force. As for whether there was any personal hatred mixed in, it is unknown.
There were more than a hundred people, and when fifty sticks were used, four died: two from a hundred households, and two from a thousand households.
