Chapter 175 Mutiny

After Zhao's staff returned to the Governor's Mansion, he reported to Zhang Zongxian what happened at the banquet.

After Zhang Zongxian heard this, he thought that when he went to the grassland, I would like to see how you negotiate terms with me.

After negotiating the terms, soldiers and horses from all walks of life arrived in Zhangjiakou one after another. However, there were still some people who ventured out to fight not far away from the generals. It would be better to just sit at home and collect rent.

The procrastinators were unwilling to gather troops. Zhang Zongxian saw that these frontier soldiers were starting to feel itchy again, so he picked out the two most procrastinators and directly tested the sharpness of Shang Fang's sword with their heads.

In this way, these generals did not dare to delay and accelerated.

By September 25th, Dushi Fort had gathered 60,000 soldiers and horses. This was already the number after eliminating the old and weak.

Just when Zhang Zongxian was about to lead the troops to go on an expedition, the cabinet sent ministers to the Xuan Mansion, reprimanding Zhang Zongxian for sending troops without permission, and asked Zhang Zongxian to immediately dismiss the troops he had summoned.

When the minister arrived at the Xuan Mansion, he couldn't even get through the door of the Governor's Mansion. No one cared about him, so he went back to the capital to complain in anger.

As a result, he was taken away by people from Dongchang before he even arrived in the capital. This made the governor of Xuanfu Town, who originally wanted to prevent Zhang Zongxian from sending troops, immediately stopped thinking about confronting Zhang Zongxian.

Zhang Zongxian knew that Tianqi sent troops to fight against Lin Dan Khan. He was full of confidence in Zhang Zongxian. He had long been unhappy with Lin Danhan's threats to withhold money and ask for market rewards. After all, Tianqi is still young. Since he has the strength, why should he be angry with you?

.

I have long wanted to teach Lin Danhan a lesson. If I save one million taels of silver, I will have enough money to build the Crystal Palace.

On September 30, after arranging his troops and horses, Zhang Zongxian led an army of 60,000 from the governor's town out of the border wall.

The legislative army also arrived at Zhangjiakou under the leadership of good ministers. After the two armies merged, they began to march towards Chahanhot, the capital of Lin Dan Khan.

After the two armies merged, the border generals in Xuanfu Town were surprised to see the so-called reinforcements from Datong Town. They looked completely different from the Datong Army in their impressions.

Not to mention the spirit, the equipment alone is not comparable to even the three major battalions in the capital! And everyone has a horse.

They looked at themselves again. Except for the servants, who were better equipped, the rest of the soldiers were wearing mandarin duck jackets, and their weapons were all rusty. Those who didn't know better thought they were bandits.

When the soldiers of the Legislative Army saw how shabby the soldiers and horses in Xuanfu Town were, they immediately became even more arrogant and looked at the border troops with eyes full of contempt.

The soldiers in Xuanfu Town were full of envy. They learned during chatting that the Legislative Army had meat to eat every day and was well paid. They wished they could join the Legislative Army immediately.

After marching and setting up camp in the afternoon, the border generals from Xuanfu Town met and the reinforcements from Datong Town took out sacks tied with barbed wire, took off a small shovel from the horse, and began to fill it with soil. After loading, it became

A low wall.

This made the border generals of Xuanfu Town even more impressed by how well equipped the soldiers and horses of Datong Town were, and how easily they built a city wall on the grassland.

After the camp was set up, the Datong Town reinforcements' baggage team also sent them food, grass, potatoes and canned luncheon meat. The canned food was all made of large clay pots.

When these soldiers saw the canned potatoes and meat, they wanted to collect them and take them home. As for what the soldiers were going to eat? Didn't you see the horse feed that was delivered? Some food is good, so what else is there to pay attention to?

However, at the end of the day, when the soldiers saw such a huge gap between the two sides, they all cursed these border generals in their hearts, not to mention deducting food, grass and military pay on weekdays, and letting them work in vain all day long.

Now there is going to be a war, and if they are not allowed to eat something good, now even the meat sent to them by the governor will be withheld.

Smelling the fragrant broth stewed in the Legislative Army camp, and looking at the beans cooking in their own pots, the soldiers became more and more dissatisfied, and soon someone took the lead and began to shout and shout for meat.

The border troops in Xuanfu Town were afraid that the governor would know that they were withholding food and wages, so they asked his servants to suppress them.

The soldiers were very angry, and the servants were cruel again, and soon the two sides became angry.

Zhang Zongxian, who was in the camp at the moment, wanted to coax these generals to come over in the name of discussing military situation that night. Now he no longer had to make excuses.

Immediately ordered the good ministers to lead a team to quell the fighting between the two sides, and detained all the border generals in Xuanfu Town, and punished those who dared to resist on the spot.

Under the warning of the legislative gunfire, both sides were quickly disarmed. Among them, several border generals from Xuanfu Town tried to resist with their own servants at their side, but they were all beaten into pieces by the gunfire.

Zhang Zongxian first walked to the soldiers in Xuanfu Town, picked up a soldier casually and asked:

"Why the trouble?"

The soldier Zhan Zhanke Ke replied:

"Sir, we want to eat meat, eat meat."

Zhang Zongxian nodded and said to the soldiers in Xuanfu Town:

"I know why you are making trouble. If you follow me, you will never be short of food and salary. However, the military law is ruthless and you will naturally be punished for gathering a crowd to make trouble. So I will put you into the baggage team. From now on, you will be responsible for setting up camp."

Wait and do it.”

After saying that, he ordered people to bring potatoes and lunch meat to them, so that these soldiers could have a good meal. The soldiers who had eaten the meat kowtowed in the direction where Zhang Zongxian was standing, shouting:

"Thank you, Governor, for the meat."

After taking care of the soldiers, Zhang Zongxian came to the frontier generals. The general of Xuanfu Town quickly shouted:

"The governor made the governor laugh because we were not strict in running the army. We will definitely discipline him strictly. We forget to show mercy to the governor."

Other generals also shouted:

"Governor, please have mercy!"

"Governor, please have mercy!"

Zhang Zongxian ignored their shouts and returned to the Chinese military tent.

Then the good ministers took all these border troops into custody. Only then did these border generals understand their situation and wanted to cause trouble. After several more were killed, they did not dare to make any more noise this time.

I secretly thought that when I returned to the border wall, I would sue Zhang Zongxian properly. Although Guixun was in decline, he was not someone to be bullied.

However, Zhang Zongxian never thought about letting them go back alive, and had already asked Zhao's staff to record that they deprived the soldiers of food and grass, which led to a mutiny, and then Dai Zui died on the battlefield for meritorious service.

After annexing the soldiers and horses in Xuanfu Town, Zhang Zongxian immediately ordered someone to pass the order to Boren, ordering him to immediately go out of the border wall and kill the guards at the back of Guangning after receiving the order.

Then Zhang Zongxian led the army and continued to attack Lin Dan Khan's capital.

Ten cavalry brigades were deployed in regiment units, forming a front ten miles wide. They walked in front of the legion and swept all the way. The brigades were not closed at night, and they were twenty miles ahead of the legion to intercept and kill the Tatar reconnaissance cavalry.

.

The entire legion only walked fifty miles a day. The next day, the camp left behind by the legion was converted into a military station, leaving one camp of legionary infantry and two thousand soldiers from Xuanfu Town to guard the military station.

Zhang Zongxian wants to crush Lin Dan Khan with absolute advantage.
