Then Lu Xiangsheng and his party led Yang Shanlu to the prime minister's court, and on the way he asked carefully: "Zhenguo, last time you only had 8,000 soldiers and horses, why did you come so many this time?"
Yang Shanlu just said briefly, but for the two thousand cannon fodder army and one thousand Tai Chi Wu cavalry, he did not give a detailed introduction to their origins, but just called the recruited rebels.
But even so, Lu Xiangsheng was already very happy when he heard it: "Well, good! With this strong army coming to help, this Governor has more confidence in the next war in the Central Plains!"
After all, this is also very obvious. Will the soldiers who can be favored by Yang Shanlu be worse
On the side, Liu Liangzuo, the look in his eyes is very weird... It's like looking at a fool!
Because this is also very obvious. At this time, Daming already has a doomsday scene, so slippery people like Liu Liangzuo have already begun to support themselves and preserve their strength. Even in battles like this, they will not bring all the elites out. Can't we all the elite...
But now, this little garrison officer may have brought out all his troops, what if he is not a fool!
But Yang Guozhu, after listening to it, has a hint of appreciation. Anyway, this is an act of loyalty to the country!
When Yang Shanlu saw Liu Liangzuo's contempt, he didn't care at all, instead he sneered in his heart... Daming's national affairs are corrupt, and the big reason is that such people are bad!
During the war, he looked like a thief when he saw the thief, but when he saw the thief, he was like a thief! **Captive, do everything! In short, it is impossible to fight war, and the worst place is the first!
Even in many cases, when encountering a stronger enemy, they start to flee before attacking! If anyone fights side by side with such a person, it is simply a scam for the dead!
But this is the kind of person, because he has the strength in his hand, as the leader of the strength, the emperor can't easily move him, only to comfort him, but now...
Yang Shanlu has made up his mind. Since I'm here, you must pray that I will not get hold of the pigtail! Otherwise, I don't mind going through the national law again! Eliminate harm to the world!
Then after the group entered the prime minister’s hall, there were still six or seven generals in the hall, but these were all ranks of generals below the general army, and they did not come out to welcome them because of their identity constraints. .
However, after finally reporting their names, Yang Shanlu still paid attention to one person-General Zhang Yan of Xuanfu Town.
And the reason why he pays attention to him is not because of how many troops he has, or how wise he is. Zhang Yan, as a participating general, has no more than three thousand soldiers and horses under his right-wing battalion. As for his appearance, he can only be regarded as ordinary. !
The reason why Yang Shanlu pays special attention to him is because Yang Shanlu knows very well that this is a real man!
In the original history, when Manchu invaded again next year, this man and Lu Xiangsheng died in Julu! Fight to the death! It has been proved by practical actions, what is meant by defending the home and the country! So Yang Shanlu has respect for him.
After Lu Xiangsheng sat on a huge iron case above, he looked around and said happily: "Generals, tell you the good news. Today, the town captive guard Yang Shan Lu Yang is on guard, and he led thousands of strong troops to help. , Our army has soared!
And in Jiyang, Shandong, there is also a 10,000 army of Zuo Liangyu, a general soldier of Huguang, who is enlisting, so this time I will go south to the army, and my strength is abundant! "
The many generals in the audience were very happy after hearing this. After all, the rogues were not small this time, and it is always good to have more soldiers.
And Yang Shanlu nodded when he heard it. This is also very obvious. In the original history, Xiong Wencan, Xiong Dazui, served as the military prime minister of the five provinces, but he brought the governor to bid 800 people.
In addition to Zuo Liangyu 10,000, Liu Liangzuo 5,000, and some other miscellaneous army, the total is only in the early 20,000.
But now, this time there are 5,000 people brought by Yang Guozhu, 3,000 people from Zhang Yan, Yang Shanlu, a new force of tens of thousands, and Lu Xiangsheng personally leads the Chinese army supervising standard camp 3,000 people, so The strength has been greatly enhanced, and the total number has reached nearly 40,000! It can be said that the strength has doubled...
At this time, another soldier announced outside the Yuanmen: "Here is the military superintendent!"
Then I saw the door opened, and a civil official walked in from outside. I saw that this person was wearing an official robe of grade 4 with a jade belt around his waist, which looked very grand, but this person's eyes looked a little arrogant. .
After he entered the gate, he sat down on the left side of Lu Xiangsheng, showing his lofty status in the army, and this is the supervising army sent by the emperor in this crucial Central Plains war. The court of the Procuratorate Zuo Yu is the imperial historian Liu Zaichao.
Generally speaking, the Supervisory Yushi of the Seventh Grade of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is able to exercise the role of supervising the army, but now the dispatch of a Yushi of the Fourth Grade Zuo Yudu shows that it takes seriously.
But after Yang Shanlu saw this person, he frowned slightly. He remembered the letter from his father Yang Sichang a few days ago that asked him to be careful of this person.
Because this person was a member of the head of the dynasty, Wen Tiren’s faction, and because Yang Shanlu rejected Wen Tiren’s proposal last time, he was greatly embarrassed in the circle of the powers of the capital. (The granddaughter of the prostitute and the concubine Yang Shanlu, It was already accommodating, but was ruthlessly rejected) So the supervising army was sent this time, and it needs to be handled carefully.
But even though Yang Shanlu knows these things, he is not afraid. With his current strength, as long as he doesn't do things that endanger the country, no one can wear small shoes for him!
At this time, seeing the adult supervising army coming, they heard the sound of a leaf. All the generals kneeled on one knee and saluted Liu Zaizhao. Everyone shouted: "I have seen Liu Jianjun."
The supervising army nodded in satisfaction: "The generals exempted the salute." Obviously, he enjoyed this feeling very much.
You must know that the lowest in the audience are all guerrilla generals, and the highest are all commanders of the first town, the second-rank generals! But now... I have to kneel and salute him.
After the salute, Lu Xiangsheng began to nodded as usual.
After the order was over, he just said with a solemn expression: "This time the Central Plains war, the thieves are very ambitious, and the Cao two thieves have already approached Anqing! Take a look at Nanjing!
Therefore, the governor ordered that after the army rests for one night tonight, they will leave the camp and set out for rescue tomorrow! "(The second thief Xian Cao refers to Zhang Xianzhong, living Cao Cao Luo Rucai).
"Nuo -" Many generals are taking orders together.
And then, it was Liu Zaizhao's turn to speak up. When he was on the battlefield as a supervising army, he had much more power than Zuo Maodi when he came to Zhenluwei as a supervising army.
Not only can you manage materials, food, and wages, monitor the generals, you can also ask for imperial decree to kill the disobedience generals in times of crisis!
So when he started to preach, everyone listened respectfully.
However, Yang Shanlu discovered that when Lu Xiang was promoted and learned that he was Yang Shanlu, the look in his eyes seemed a little special... as if he had found the target.
But Yang Shanlu didn't take it seriously. If there is any means, just let it go!
After the training, the generals all went down, but although there was only one night's rest, it was necessary to set up a camp.
At this time, 30,000 troops had been stationed outside the city, and there were many military camps. When Yang Shanlu went on horseback and returned to his own camp, he also paid attention to the situation of the camps along the way.
Because this is also very important, the next battle of the Central Plains requires the use of friendly forces and cannot fight alone, but he knows nothing about these troops, how can he understand the strength of the forces? And this can be seen through camping.
Looking at it along the way, it is indeed the same as Yang Shanlu's mind. It is also Anza's camp. The most rigorous one is the Chinese Army Supervisory Standard Camp under Lu Xiangsheng's command, which is the headquarters of the Tianxiong Army.
In second place is the veteran Yang Guozhu’s Xuanzhen officers and soldiers, which is also considered strict. As for the future traitorous general Liu Liangzuo, it is not worth mentioning. The wooden fences outside the barracks are sparsely slanted, and the gate and the watchtower are twisted. Twisting, it really is the same virtue as his master.
But Yang Shanlu knew it in his heart after reading it like this.
Then his Xuanjia army camp, because there are no good places to camp, it is lined up next to Liu Liangzuo's barracks, but even so, with the meticulous training of Qi Zhenzong, a master of the art of war, the army camps set up by the Xuanjia army are the same. in Apple pie order.
Outside the camp are dense wooden fences, including the built-up gates and watchtowers, which are tall and neat. At first glance, you can see that the daily drills are well-trained, and they are not inferior to the strongest Tianxiong army in the Central Plains camp.
But after Yang Shanlu returned to his camp, something happened not long after.
The logistics chief in the army has found Qian Wanzi, and his face is still angrily: "My lord, the quartermaster on the camp, some look down on us!"
"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Shanlu asked.
The money basket spread his hands, and began to complain: "As the adults know, there are tens of thousands of troops in our aid this time, but just now I went to the quarters to get food and rice, guess what, they only give Our share of 3,000 people! This is not an obvious bullying!"
"What?" Yang Shanlu was very angry when he heard it. Could it be that people who have come to fight for the country have to get stuck
In other words, at this time, it is normal for the officials of the Ming Dynasty to falsely report the amount of troops and eat empty pay. Is it normal to bring more people like him
"Go, let me see!" Yang Shanlu immediately took the money basket to the quarters.
After he arrived at the quarters, this was a temporary supply point, but it was very busy. After all, the nearly 30,000 troops who came to aid needed to receive payment here.
The Quartermaster’s office was just a seven-rank little official, but this official was not big, but he was not too small. After Yang Shanlu explained his intentions, he became an official voice, and finally said that this was an officer of the army superintendent. Specified.
Well, Yang Shanlu was speechless. Although he knew that the supervising army was recommended by Wen Tiren, he might make trouble for him, but he didn't expect to find trouble when he came up!
If such a person comes to serve as a supervising army, it is really not enough to succeed, but more than defeated...
However, Yang Shanlu is not a bad temper. Just as he was going to find the superintendent to settle the accounts, there was a quartermaster who also came to receive grain and rice next to him. He muttered softly: "Cut, it's just a little In the past, the army of the guard station was just a blind cat who met a dead mouse and made a show, but now he really regards himself as his master!"
"Uh-" Yang Shanlu just stared, and then looked at this person's dress, and he knew that it was under the traitorous general.
As for what he said just now, Yang Shanlu is also clear that the Ming army also pays attention to seniority, or it is a bad habit.
For example, in the Ming Army, the soldiers and horses directly led by the generals are called "Ordinary soldiers", the soldiers and horses directly led by the deputy generals are called "Amazing Soldiers", the soldiers and horses led by the participating generals are called "Reinforcement", and those led by guerrilla generals are called " Rangers".
Only these people were the regular Ming army, also known as battalion soldiers and war soldiers, who were eligible to receive food and salaries from the imperial court.
And an army like theirs is a soldier in the field, and the soldier who planted the land not only depends on the sanitary station for self-sufficiency, but also pays upwards for the rations, which is inherently inferior.
But now? Does this affect eating
But Qian Louzi couldn't listen anymore: "Say it again from your mother!" Although Qian Louzi didn't understand the dialect spoken by the quartermaster, he knew it was definitely not a good thing...
"Forget it -" The angry money basket was stopped by Yang Shanlu. If it is really because of a dispute or even a fight over this kind of thing, it's not funny.
What's the point of playing this kind of chat? This kind of thing needs to find the source... So Yang Shanlu no longer hesitated, and immediately went to find the culprit, the military supervisor.
The military supervisor also lived in the yard. After Yang Shanlu arrived, there were a few guards outside the door. However, seeing that Yang Shanlu was a member of the third rank, he didn't dare to neglect it. After entering the report, it was soon Saw the supervising army officer.
But Lu Xiangsheng happened to be there in the row, and was discussing something with Liu Zaichao. Now when he saw Yang Shanlu suddenly coming, he said in a bit of surprise: "Zhenguo, what's the matter?"
"Enlighten the Governor..." Yang Shanlu immediately said what had happened just now.
After Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he frowned, then looked at Liu Zaichao and said, "Jian Liu, Zhen Guo's subordinates are also troops fighting for the country, so let's give them rice and grains equally."
Unexpectedly, Liu Zaichao didn't buy his account, he just snorted: "Supervisor Lu, it's not that the supervisor does not give you face, but the emperor sent me to supervise the army. I will do my duty!
You must know that the soldiers and horses under Yang Shoubei's jurisdiction are only 3,000 men! I now distribute it according to this number, it is justified! "
After Lu Xiangsheng heard this, his brows frowned. To be honest, seeing his attitude, he also knew that there might be some entanglements between the two. In fact, this is a question of flexible grasp of the scale.
It's like during the Hongwu period, Taizu ruled that merchants could not wear silk, but now, who else is taking it seriously? The same is true now, but now this one just wants to be true, it's really a bit difficult.
But Yang Shanlu became even more angry when he heard it. His feelings do not preserve his strength, and he should bring more troops out to fight for the country. Is this still wrong
He even thought about it in his heart, and said bluntly that all the food and wages of the Central Plains War were obtained by him by looting his house and destroying the door! But now, he still has to pay for his salary
So Yang Shanlu glanced at Liu Zaichao and said, "The so-called regulations are dead and people are alive. If Liu Jianjun is doing things like this now, you are sure that the emperor will not ask you if he knows about it in the future?"
"Uh..." The superintendent's expression became a little unnatural. He knew that this battle in the Central Plains was the top priority of the emperor's concern, not to mention the young garrison officer, but the celebrity in front of the emperor. , If this is too much...
But he remembered again when he left Beijing, Mr. Wen's instructions to him, and then thought that he was doing things according to the rules, and this time the army of 30,000 was conscripted. It is really difficult to raise grain and rice, so I am not afraid of others...
So he still played the official tone and said: "Yang Shoubei, the supervisor is also following the rules, and now it is the disaster year, there is really not so much food and rice..."
But no matter what, Yang Shanlu's remarks are still a bit deterrent. In the end, this one is considered to be a high hand and relaxed to the share of 5,000 people, but even so, it still doesn't help... Does the remaining 6,000 people don't need to eat
But Yang Shanlu didn't bother to talk to him any more. As long as this veteran of the eunuch, as long as he made up his mind, it would just be three days and three nights, that would be useless...
Moreover, through this incident, he was able to figure out the details of the supervising army sir.
So Yang Shanlu smiled coldly after he left the yard... Now that I can slap my neck openly, I must be very proud... It's just that you're too early to be proud!
After all, Yang Shanlu is very clear, don't look at him now, he is very beautiful, and he has the first assistant of the current court as his backer! But who would have thought that as long as two months later, his great patron would be impeached and eventually return home in despair, and when that happens, hum...
However, this is still two months later, and the problem of eating right now is imminent.
After Yang Shanlu returned to his residence, Qian Lazi was waiting for him eagerly.
ps This period of time has been a chapter. First, the important plot needs to be carefully considered. Second, it will be too hot. I sweat like rain to create, and I am sweating all over the horse... (End of this chapter)
