Human beings are creatures that are constantly changing.
Back then, when Shi Heng entered Liaodong, he went with Sun Xiang.
At that time, he carried the defeat of Yang He to Liaodong.
When he first arrived in Liaodong, His Majesty was young, Yu Qian and others were in charge of the court, and the civil service power was on the rise. Therefore, Shi Heng always saw his own position clearly in the cooperation with Sun Xiang in Liaodong, and vaguely followed Sun Xiang's lead.
But when he came to Annan this time, he was the imperial general who conquered the south, and was His Majesty’s favorite general. He was a hero in the previous defense of Beijing, and he was also a hero in the battle against the Jurchens. In addition, the emperor had already mastered great power, and Shi Heng I also feel that the emperor's trust in me has exceeded ever before, and the shadow of Yanghe's defeat has disappeared in this great victory, and Shi Heng can no longer remember it...
When communicating with Han Yong, a higher-ranking civil servant, he communicated on an equal footing at first and could listen to his opinions.
After winning the decisive victory, Shi Heng couldn't listen to a word of Han Yong's words. Of course, Han Yong also saw this and said nothing to Shi Heng.
The two also had some conflicts.
Of course, this was all done secretly, and no one brought it to the surface.
But after Shi Heng's latest military order came down, the conflict between the two people also turned from secret to open... ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
Shi Heng has great military power and prestige, and he is thousands of miles away. For the sake of the overall plan, Zhu Jianshen will not touch him rashly. But if Shi Heng is not willing to die alone, he will go crazy with hundreds of thousands of troops. Then Zhu Jianshen could only risk taking down Shi Heng.
This is just a choice and a measurement...
More than ten miles outside Jiaozhou City, there is a rather elegant and quiet house.
It was once the private property of the former Dai Viet Wuxun. After the city of Jiaozhou was destroyed, it was taken over by the Ming army. A few days ago, the defense here became increasingly strict.
From the initial dozen Ming troops, the number suddenly increased to thousands.
The generals of the Ming army came to this house one after another in the past few days.
At dawn, Han Yong's motorcade stopped outside the house.
Several generals were waiting outside the door under the leadership of Mu Zan.
After Han Yong got off the carriage, Mu Zan and several generals came forward to greet him.
Han Yong returned the courtesy one by one, and finally raised his head to glance at the bright moon that had not yet disappeared in the sky, and asked Mu Zan who came to greet him: "Captain Mu, how many people are here now?"
One of the generals said: "Forty-two people."
After hearing this, Han Yong murmured to himself: "So many people are missing."
Fifty-three people received Han Yong's order, but only forty-two came, which also proved that dozens of people wanted to follow Shi Heng to the end.
Moreover, this also shows that Shi Heng knew the situation here at this time.
After listening to Han Yong's words, Mu Zan hurriedly said: "Han Shangshu, don't worry, there are 30,000 soldiers in Jiaozhou City, 15,000 of them are soldiers from Yunnan. Although they are led by those generals now, we can still wait for the generals." A large number of middle and lower-level military attachés are all my old subordinates. More than 5,000 of them are soldiers from Guangxi, and the remaining 5,000 are from the Beijing camp. If we can't reach an agreement, even if we force them, the general will It can also guarantee Han Shangshu’s safety.”
"Moreover, the general is coming this time with more than 8,000 soldiers. He has already obtained the documents on defense. They can enter the city tomorrow. Once they enter the city, I will personally deploy and take over the defense of the imperial city. By then, regardless of Anyway, Marquis Wuyang has a way out, and we also have a way out."
Saying these words at this time can only prove that most of the generals following him are close associates of the Duke of Guizhou. It also shows that Mu Zan knew the risks he would take on this matter and clearly informed Han Yong.
Mu Zan is the spokesman for the Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan. Although he is only in his thirties, he has rich military experience in the border areas of Yunnan. In the hearts of Yunnan soldiers, the prestige accumulated by the Duke of Guizhou over generations is not can be eliminated in a short period of time.
Shi Heng became more and more crazy, and Mu Zan also became uneasy and very worried, but he was only Shi Heng's deputy, and he could not lead the fight against Shi Heng's military orders.
If this operation is not done well, it will cause an invisible confrontation between the Beijing camp and the local army. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, the imperial court will have some ideas about the Duke of Qian.
But Han Yong came from the capital and was the Minister of War. He could completely stop Shi Heng's madness, and this would not involve any conflict with the local center.
After listening to Mu Zan's words, Han Yong felt a little uneasy even though he had made plans in his heart. His move was extremely risky.
Two results.
With the support of Mu Zan, I may have successfully passed the military command from Shi Heng, allowing him to live peacefully as a mascot that stabilized the morale of the military in a short period of time. Everything followed the previous plan and moved forward steadily. If we directly start negotiations with Xiao Wangting from Qinghua in the south, we will see if we can maximize the interests of Ming Dynasty.
The second result was that he failed. Mu Zan would be detained by Shi Heng in Jiaozhou City. Of course, this was optimistic. The most serious consequence was that he would lose his life. Shi Heng still forcibly pushed the army southward. Even if it wins, the North is likely to slip back out of control.
Of course, even if Han Yong was a little uneasy, when things came to a close, in order to calm people's hearts, he could only act calmly and fearlessly.
"Han Shangshu, you have been tired from traveling all the way. Let's rest first and wait until daybreak before discussing the matter." Mu Zan continued.
After saying that, he made a gesture of please.
And Han Yong was not polite. After giving his hand to Mu Zan, he took the lead and walked towards the house...
After the sun came up, many generals also came to the lobby to discuss matters after having breakfast.
In fact, these generals who were still willing to come after being notified have already expressed their attitude.
They all more or less felt that Wuyang Hou Shi Heng had entered the crazy mode.
The military order could only be implemented for three months.
The army dispersed to reorganize the Northland, but before the matter was even 30% completed, Shi Heng's order was obtained again, so that the army could gather.
Half of the local gentry were killed, and the army was transferred away, clearly to give them a chance to get together and cause trouble.
Resistance is death, not resistance is still death. After these people are out of control, they are more difficult to deal with than the regular army of the puppet dynasty. They can also make the Ming army pay a huge price. This is a stupid move that everyone is talking about.
At this time, Han Yong entered Annan and made it clear that he did not support Shi Heng's military order and asked to report it to the court before making a decision.
The emperor moved out to suppress Shi Heng.
This opinion has been supported by many generals.
Shi Heng wrote back: "When you are approaching and in front of the battle, the situation is ever-changing. Your orders may be accepted or not."
A few years later, Shi Heng had a new view on whether the general would accept or not receive the emperor's orders...
At this time, Han Yong and Mu Zan, who had only slept for an hour, had already arrived in the lobby, whispering about something.
After many generals entered, the two of them stopped talking.
There are three types of generals entering Annan. One is the generals from Yunnan and Guangxi. These generals are the most numerous. The other is the generals led by Wang Tong, the original defeated general of Annan. These generals are all in the extreme north of Annan, close to Zhennanguan. The local garrison in Yunnan, Han Yong did not notify these generals to come this time, and the third type was the capital generals who followed Shi Heng. Among them were a group of Shi Heng's close followers who held heavy troops. The number of these people was smaller. , but because of the presence of Shi Heng, their right to speak is strong in the front team.
Among the people who came this time, the largest number of generals were from Yunnan and Guangxi. Among the forty-two people, there were thirty.
The twelve generals in the capital, without exception, had never been to Liaodong.
After a while, the hall was filled with generals in armor, among whom Han Yong in red robes was the most conspicuous...
