Chapter 454 State-owned brave generals, the blessing of the society
"What's going on? Why are we the guards and the brave guards who only set up camps and out of the camps, and we, the host and guest border troops, stayed aside to watch the fun?"
Man Gui couldn't help but ask when he looked at the endless guards and the brave guards outside Fushun Pass.
He Renlong, who was serving as a guerrilla warrior next to Mangui, replied: "It seems that he did not intend to let our border army be the main force to fight the East Eight Banners soldiers. In the future, we will just clean the battlefield, kill some old, weak, sick and disabled, burn houses, etc. This is also good. Although it seems that the emperor did not take our border army seriously, he did not intend to let our border army die in vain and give the military merits to the Guards and the Brave Guards."
Man Gui's face was quite unhappy: "It seems that only his Guards and the Yonggu can fight the Tartars! Our border troops also came out of the sea of blood, so they didn't drink ink in the martial arts hall for a few days! I have to ask for the emperor, so how could we border troops kill only the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled? It is obvious that they look down on others!"
As Man Gui said that, he stood up and walked towards Chenyang City, the center of the entire army.
Seeing this, He Renlong couldn't help but stand up and shouted, "Master! Why are you going to do this!"
...
"Damn it, your border troops don't have eyes? Didn't you see the man going to kill the Donglu? You just stay honestly. When we kill the Donglu, the emperor will ask you to clean the battlefield. It would be great to just cut off the heads and earn silver rewards. I don't know if I say thank you now!"
As a middle-level officer of the Guards, Mao Wenlong was also talking about this matter with Cao Wenzhao, who was inquiring about the situation at this time.
Moreover, in his words, Mao Wenlong felt his pride as a member of the Guards, and felt that these border troops were just the old-style army that occupied his Guards. Even if they were brave, they were brave but not resourceful. Otherwise, they would not have been able to gain any advantage in front of the Eight Banners soldiers before their Guards appeared.
Cao Wenzhao, who was also a famous general in history, was naturally very angry and pulled Mao Wenlong away from his horse with a strong force:
"Thank you, my mother! Don't think that only your guards dare to fight against the elite Tartars. My border troops are not vegetarians!"
"You dare to pull me off, damn it, even if I violate military discipline today, I will have to beat you all over the ground!"
When the Imperial Army, such as the Guards and the Yonggu Army fought in border towns, there were many conflicts with the border troops.
Because the military discipline requirements of the Guards and the Yonggu Army are high and the punishment is heavy, many times, when conflicts with the border army, the people on the Guards and the Yonggu Army suffer losses and are punished.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Guards and the Yonggu Army were more dissatisfied with the border army. In addition, the Guards and the Yonggu Army felt that they were the Imperial Army and had a greater sense of pride. Because of their good cultural foundation, they felt that the border army was brave but not resourceful, and did not understand military strategies. They fought many times, and they were the main forces of the Guards and the Yonggu Army, so they looked down on the border army very much.
Therefore, Mao Wenlong just now spoke rudely to Cao Wenzhao.
Originally, Mao Wenlong had only one person who dared to make trouble in history, but now he was the same. As he said that, he hit Cao Wenzhao with an iron fist.
Cao Wenzhao was not willing to be outdone and fought with him.
The scene was once chaotic, and both sides were about to fight.
Zhao Rujiao and Huang Degong rushed over at this time and stopped the two sides in time.
Huang Degong asked the tutors to escort Mao Wenlong away from here.
Zhao Rujiao also asked in detail about the reason why Cao Wenzhao was.
Cao Wenzhao replied, "Master, you have also seen that the Guards and the Yonggu have begun to go out to Fushun Pass to kill the Donglu, and only the border troops are still nestled in the pass! And the Guards and the Yonggu still look down on us because of this, as if we are all afraid of death! The man just now even made a sarcasm! I just asked him a few questions, but I was humiliated by him for no reason, so I started to fight."
Zhao Rujiao also turned cold and said, "I naturally saw it. Follow me to ask the commander Xiong. Your Majesty has issued an order. The generals of the border battalions, the generals and the guerrillas are all supervised by the commander Xiong Shumi. Let's ask him now."
Zhao Rujiao said that and came to Xiong Tingbi with Cao Wenzhao.
And Man Gui also came to Xiong Tingbi at this time.
Zhao Ruijiao first asked Xiong Tingbi: "The generals of the country do not understand why they went out of the pass to kill the Eastern Captains and did not mobilize our border army. Does the court look down on our border army so much?!"
Man Gui also replied: "Yes, the general of the general was well-behaved by the imperial court for the rest of his life, and he only thought about how to kill the enemy and serve the country day and night. Now he finally had the opportunity to sacrifice his head and shed blood in front of the emperor, but in the end we were left inside the pass and watched the scholarly soldiers of the Guards and the Brave Guards kill the Eastern Barbarians. This really made the general of the General of the Frontiers dissatisfied, as if we were cowardly and soft-bodied!"
Man Gui bowed and said, "We are also loyal and brave men. I also ask the supervisor to tell the emperor that we can also go out of the pass and kill the Eastern Captain!"
Zhao Rujiao also echoed: "That's right! Please tell the emperor about it for us. We would rather wear a horse and wrap the body than be looked down upon, saying that our border troops cannot kill the enemy!"
Cao Wenzhao followed and said, "Please give us the border army a chance! Although our equipment is not as good as the Guards and the Brave Guards, our courage is no less than them, and the fierce battles we have experienced are not worse than them. Even their riding and shooting may be worse than us!"
Xiong Tingbi smiled and said first: "Very good, the country has brave generals, and the country is blessed!"
Then, Xiong Tingbi said, "But not letting you leave the customs first, it is not because Your Majesty despises you, but because you are afraid that you will not obey the dispatch, do not obey the orders, and have different intentions among the battalions;
To be honest, you are different from the Guards and the Brave Guards. The elite troops of your battalions are your own servants. You only listen to your own dispatch, just like your private property. For example, if your General Zhao is besieged by the enemy, the court will take you Mangui to rescue him for this and ask you to save him at all costs. The enemy is prepared in advance and block you Mangui on the way. Can you Mangui kill all the servants at all costs, or even kill yourself. Go to save him? Zhao Rujiao?
The brave guards are different. Their battalions are the emperor's soldiers. Even if they are all killed, they are only the emperor's losses. Therefore, the emperor dares to send them to kill the Donglu, because they can be together and separate, and even absolutely obey orders, paying the price of annihilation for the survival of the brothers. As long as the emperor gives such an order, do you think you can do it? If so, I will go to the emperor to plead for you and give you a chance to be a pioneer in the imperial army when he personally expeditions!"
Zhao Rujiao, Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao looked at each other, then thought about it, and then replied in unison: "Yes!"
Xiong Tingbi was a little surprised and asked again: "If you can't do it, don't blame the ruthless military law!"
"clear!"
The three of them replied.
Xiong Tingbi replied loudly, "Okay! Please wait!"
Then, Xiong Tingbi went to the palace where Zhu Youxiao was staying: "My minister Xiong Tingbi asked to see Your Majesty!"
Not long after, Zhu Youxiao learned about this. Although he did not expect Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, and Cao Wenzhao to ask for battle, he did not find it very surprising.
However, what Zhu Youxiao had to admit is that the loyal and brave generals who dared to die for the Ming Dynasty in history were indeed more noble than ordinary people in spirit.
