Chapter 913: If you want to say that bad things are bad, who is afraid of whom?

(0913)

【The second update is delivered today!】

Liaodong, Shanhaiguan.

When Zhang Zhun arrived at Shanhaiguan, the vanguard troops of the Xinzi Battalion of the Huben Army had already arrived here in advance. They took over the various city towers, fortresses, barracks, warehouses, ranches, training grounds and other equipment and facilities of Shanhaiguan. The military flag of the Huben Army fluttered high on the city tower of Shanhaiguan.

"Sir, please!"

Ling Ruocheng, the commander of Xinba, accompanied Zhang Zhun around in and out of Shanhaiguan. In his previous life, Zhang Zhun had come to Shanhaiguan while traveling. At that time, he did not have much feeling except commemorating history. However, when he arrived four hundred years ago, he stood in front of this world's number one pass again, and his mood became much more complicated.

In real history, Shanhaiguan in the late Ming Dynasty was quite heavy. Wu Sangui, Chen Yuanyuan, Huang Taiji, Dorgon, Li Zicheng... Each of them has a close relationship with Shanhaiguan. Now, the name Zhang Zhun has also been carved into the historical marks of Shanhaiguan. Four hundred years of ups and downs!

"Sir, there are the military camps of those soldiers and gangsters in front of them."

Ling Ruocheng said solemnly.

Due to the influence of the cold winter, the imperial army did not completely evacuate Shanhaiguan last year. It was not until the beginning of spring that the remaining troops continued to retreat to the inland. At that time, when the court's withdrawal operation was basically over, there were still many idle troops left here.

In the list of the imperial department of war, the number of Liaodong Army was about 300,000. In fact, after deducting the vacancy, the real soldiers were only a little over 250,000. Moreover, among these 250,000, there may be nearly 50,000 people who are idle. There are definitely less than 200,000 people who can actually go to the battlefield.

At present, some of the elite troops of the Liaodong Army have been transferred to the mainland, some have been taken away by Zu Dashou, and some have participated in the Hu Ben Army. It can be said that they have basically been divided up. The rest are all idle personnel that no one wants.

The court did not expect these idle people, and was even more unwilling to retreat them to the mainland. In the past, these people had spent a lot of money and food, but did not make any achievements, which made the court feel very uncomfortable. This time, he finally had the opportunity to get rid of them, so the court naturally would not miss the opportunity.

In fact, the court had a bit of a sense of throwing the burden, and he wanted to throw these people to the Hu Ben Army to deal with it, secretly cheating the Hu Ben Army. These idle personnel were very difficult to manage. They did not obey military orders, refused to train hard, and went to the battlefield to shrink their heads and minds, just wanted to save their lives. If they threw all these people to the Hu Ben Army, the combat effectiveness of the Hu Ben Army would inevitably be greatly reduced.

The Hu Ben Army is not stupid either, so of course it will not accept these people easily. Zhang Zhun's attitude is very clear. These people can stay, but they all have their military status and are transformed into farmers on the spot to farm. Want to live in the army? Dream!

However, these people quit their policies. They wanted to do something in Shanhaiguan and embarrass the Huben Army a little bit. As a result, the Wei Battalion of the Huben Army arrived and used force to easily defeat them. Ling Ruocheng followed Zhang Zhun's order and killed more than 200 people according to the list provided by Maoyansi, and finally completely surrendered these guys.

In fact, these so-called idle personnel should have a more accurate nickname, called the military gangster. They are gangsters in the army. It is not possible to expect them to fight and to abide by discipline. In short, don’t expect these people to do some serious business. However, it is not easy for you to get rid of them. In the past, they were like a piece of candy, firmly stuck to the Liaodong Army, and the Liaodong Army could not get rid of them.

Of course, this is for the court. For the Hu Ben Army, there is no burden that cannot be removed. Ling Ruocheng came from Ningyuanwei to Shanhaiguan with the Wei camp, and wanted to deal with this group of people. Sure enough, when the guns and cannons sounded, these soldiers and gangsters were immediately convinced. If they were not afraid of death, would they still need to be soldiers and gangsters?

Then, Zhang Zhun issued an order to Ling Ruocheng, focusing all these people on guard and waiting for further processing. He doesn't want to fight or farm? Okay! Let's go to Sado Island! Sado Island needs a large number of miners, enough for you tossing. Under the intimidation of guns and whips, let's see when you will be slut!

At present, all the 50,000 soldiers and gangsters were concentratedly taken care of. After the Hu Ben Navy transferred the Han army flag, he transferred all these soldiers and gangsters to Sado Island. Zhang Zhun raised the thousand-mile mirror, observed the camp of those soldiers and gangsters from afar, and nodded with satisfaction. He had no need to worry at all.

"Sir, Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, is here."

After reporting on the situation of these soldiers and gangsters, Ling Ruocheng immediately added.

"Chen Xinjia?"

Zhang Zhun asked unexpectedly.

Chen Xinjia appeared in Shanhaiguan. What do you want to do?

He was a celebrity of Emperor Chongzhen and a practical minister of the court. What did he do when he ran to Shanhaiguan? Didn’t he know that Shanhaiguan was the territory of the Huben Army and could not come in casually without the permission of the Huben Army?

"It is said to be for the sake of high potential property."

Ling Ruocheng whispered.

"oh?"

Zhang Zhun said in confusion.

"It is said that when Gao Qiqian left Liaodong, he did not transport all his property. Some of them continued to stay in Liaodong, hiding in dozens of cellars. The location of the cellar seemed to be near Shanhaiguan, but no one knew the specific location."

Ling Ruocheng said cautiously.

"Oh, so that's it."

Zhang Zhun said to himself.

"I have been sending people to monitor Chen Xinjia's actions. When he finds the location of the cellar, we will immediately dispatch and intercept all the property. Since it is in the territory controlled by our Hu Ben Army, all the property belongs to us."

Ling Ruocheng said with a bright look.

"good!"

"well done!"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

Ling Ruocheng is really a big deal, and he knows how to fish big fish with a long line. Well, right, when Chen Xinjia found the location of the cellar, the Hu Ben Army immediately dispatched and intercepted all the property. If you want to say that bad things are bad, who is afraid of whom?

Zhang Zhun didn't have a deep understanding of Chen Xinjia. He just vaguely remembered that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to discuss peace with the Tartars, so he asked Chen Xinjia to secretly contact the Tartars. As a result, he didn't know why the news leaked, which caused anger to the government and the public. The people wrote letters and refused to discuss peace. Emperor Chongzhen immediately turned against him and pushed all the responsibilities on Chen Xinjia. In the end, Chen Xinjia was ordered to behead him as a scapegoat.

Speaking of which, this guy is indeed quite unfair in real history. Not to mention his ability, it is indeed his sorrow to meet a lord like Emperor Chongzhen. However, Zhang Zhun has changed history. It is absolutely impossible for the court to discuss peace with the Tartars. Therefore, Chen Xinjia's fate should have also changed. From this perspective, Zhang Zhun saved Chen Xinjia's life.

"Governor! Commander! The cellar has been found, right in Balipu! Chen Xinjia's people have surrounded it!"

At this moment, someone hurriedly ran up and reported with excitement on his face. Ling Ruocheng had sent someone to secretly monitor Chen Xinjia's entourage in the morning. He could control any movement at any time. Now, Chen Xinjia found the cellar, and Ling Ruocheng knew it immediately.

Chen Xinjia is a literati, and his social experience is indeed a little less. Although he is in a high position, he is still the Minister of War. He knows nothing about the matter of being followed. No wonder this guy will be called by Chongzhen as a scapegoat in the future. He is indeed quite scholarly!

"good!"

Ling Ruocheng said excitedly.

"Ling Ruocheng, you can immediately lead people and intercept all your property!"

"I'm responsible for getting Chen Xinjia to leave the scene!"

Zhang Zhun said decisively.

This is called a two-pronged approach. While sending troops, suppressing Chen Xinjia's entourage and detaining all property. While calling Chen Xinjia to his side in his own name. If Chen Xinjia is disobedient and does not cooperate, he will be sorry and he will have to take violent measures to solve the problem. Brother is already polite first and then soldiers. If you are not tactful, you have to use force.

Zhang Zhun is not sure how much property Gao Qi is buried in Liaodong is currently unknown. However, it is impossible to make Chen Xinjia tempted and let Chen Xinjia go to Shanhaiguan in person. The number of people will definitely not be small. The Hu Ben Army is now short of nothing, so it is said that it is short of money. As long as you have money, Zhang Zhun will not let it go, even if the other party is the king of heaven.

"Abide by the order!"

Ling Ruocheng went there excitedly.

"Come!"

Zhang Zhun shouted in a deep voice.

"arrive!"

Liu Mang hurried over.

"Quick Ma went to Balipu to invite Chen Xinjia, and said I had something to do with him. He said the matter was important and asked him to come to Shanhaiguan. I was waiting for him in Kuixing Pavilion."

Zhang Zhun said in an orderly manner.

Perhaps only Zhang Zhun dares to speak like this to the actual minister of the Ministry of War, the court. Moreover, Zhang Zhun is very confident, and Chen Xinjia dares not come. Even if he is suspicious, he dares not come. Well, this is the land of the Hu Ben Army. If he doesn't come, the Hu Ben Army will tie him up even if it is tied up. What is a civil servant?

As long as Chen Xinjia was not at the Balipu site, the Hu Ben Army would say something easy to deal with his entourage. Without Chen Xinjia's presence, Zhang Zhun did not believe that his entourage had the courage to fight with the Hu Ben Army. Basically, the property they found would not be missing, and all fell into the Hu Ben Army's pockets.

"clear!"

Liu Mang agreed to go.

"Wang Shide!"

Zhang Zhun shouted again.

"What are the instructions for the sir?"

Wang Shide hurried over.

"Put the teahouse in Kuixing Pavilion, where I meet with the Minister of War."

Zhang Zhun said seriously.

"clear!"

Wang Shide agreed to turn around and go.
Chapter completed!
