Chapter 134 Cleansing the Warlords 5
Chapter 134 Purging the Warlords 5
"Supervisor Yuan is stationed in Ningyuan, fighting against the slaves, and has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. We are not convinced that he is going to be dismissed from his position for no apparent reason."
"Not convinced."
"Not convinced."
Before Yuan Chonghuan could say anything, the people under his command started to make a fuss, shouting dissatisfaction one by one, and the noise was shocking.
If others were faced with such a battle, they would be so frightened that they would not even be able to speak. But who is Zhu Di? The Yongle Emperor, who was so powerful and powerful that he suppressed all nations, how could he be easily frightened?
"Do you want to rebel?"
Zhu Di's eyes shone with brilliance and his domineering attitude was revealed. He shocked Yuan Chonghuan's men with just one word.
They really don't dare to rebel.
"We are just complaining about Governor Yuan, why do you need to make a fuss out of a molehill?"
One of Yuan Chonghuan's young generals bravely said that he could still maintain his psychological balance under the pressure of Emperor Yongle, which was quite a figure.
Well done!
But in his heart, there was a new calculation. Now that the people inside Ningyuan were unstable, and many pairs of eyes were staring at him, he could just go out and hide for a while, throw all the problems to Zhu Di, and realize his scapegoat.
The plan was to let Zhu Di act as the scapegoat.
The final purge of the major warlords has begun.
It would be embarrassing if "Zhu Yong" was ignorant of current affairs. The soldiers mutinied and accidentally killed the governor. They could only respectfully invite Yuan Chonghuan to take up the post of governor of Ningyuan again with sadness.
Compared with Yuan Chonghuan, who has been working with him for a long time, "Zhu Yong" has too many uncertainties!
Whether the imperial generals' pay is handed over to them, the commanders of the army, or directly passed on to them, they will be the ultimate winners, and those soldiers cannot resist them.
Zhu Di pointed at Yuan Chonghuan, Gao Dejie, Wang Pingfan and others, with a cruel smile on his lips.
"Your Majesty, accept the order."
When Zhu Di couldn't suppress the internal turmoil in Ningyuan, he asked his friends in the court to make some arrangements. He would still be the governor of Ningyuan, so that the emperor could know that only he, Yuan Chonghuan, could control Ningyuan.
"My lord, what do you mean?"
Soon, in addition to the soldiers guarding the city wall, many of the Ningyuan warlords' sergeants gathered outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion. Looking around, they saw a dense darkness, like a tide, surrounding the Governor's Mansion.
In Ningyuan City, there are many warlords, all fighting for their own interests. Only he, Yuan Chonghuan, can balance the interests and needs between the major warlords and the imperial court. Others absolutely cannot do it.
Zhu Di nodded happily and agreed: "Generals, please summon your sergeants, and I will distribute military pay on the spot in front of the Governor's Mansion."
Yuan Chonghuan seemed extremely helpless, angry, and dejectedly accepted the imperial edict, as if he was loyal to serve the country. However, the emperor did not trust him, so he could only abdicate in favor of a worthy person with an extremely unwilling mood.
His name: Wu Sangui.
There was a sound of silence, like thunder on the ground, shaking in all directions, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Facing the imperial court, they had already figured out a set of means to deal with it.
Wu Sangui is still just a little shrimp with no right to speak. In Ningyuan, the real decision makers are the leaders of the major warlords headed by Yuan Chonghuan.
"See Lord Governor."
Yuan Chonghuan recognized it himself, so there was no need for them to fight against Zhu Di.
So happy?
"I heard that the new governor wants to pay military pay."
The "Han traitor" who was so angry that he helped Jiannu to the altar with one hand, but ended up miserable himself.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers shouted together, and the sound shook the sky like thunder, shaking all directions.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, feeling caught off guard.
Many soldiers were talking about it, but when they saw Zhu Di stepping onto the high platform, he shouted loudly: "Quiet."
"I don't care whether the governor is replaced or not. I just want to know if the military pay is really going to be paid. With the pay, I can send it back to honor my mother and give my wife and children some clothes."
"That's fine."
"have no idea"
"Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, I am the new governor of Ningyuan, Zhu Yong."
Zhu Di smiled calmly, looked at Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Zhao Lejiao, He Kegang, Wang Pingfan, Gao Dejie and others, and asked: "You also want to resist the edict and not obey it?"
After hearing Zhu Di's instructions, many soldiers belonging to different warlords were confused. The new governor actually wanted them to kill their immediate boss. What kind of trouble was going on?
Man Gui, Zhao Lejiao, He Kegang and others bowed slightly and acknowledged Zhu Di, the new governor who came by air.
If "Zhu Yong" is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, then it is not a bad idea to recognize him as the governor. Anyway, it is all about making money. Whether the governor's surname is Zhu or Yuan is not too important.
At this point, with his incomparable self-confidence, Zhu Di could only become the scapegoat to bear the wrath of the major warlords, while he, Yuan Chonghuan, was just leaving for a while.
And with Yuan Chonghuan, who could fight for their interests, gone, they were not sure at all whether this "Zhu Yong" could give them what they wanted.
"The new Governor, our Governor of Ningyuan, isn't he Governor Yuan? There has been another change!"
Only Wang Ping Fan and Gao Dejie were very dissatisfied. With Zu Dashou, Xia Guoxiang and others all dead, the two of them were the largest warlords in Ningyuan and would gain the most benefits in the future.
"think!"
Immediately, he hurriedly sent people to summon his subordinate sergeants with a very positive attitude. He wanted to distribute military pay. This is a great thing. The opportunity to make a fortune has arrived.
If you are not active in making money, you will become a warlord in vain.
If the military pay is given out first, and then they find an excuse to collect it, they will still be the ones who get rich.
"Wang Laosi, why have we been summoned urgently from above?"
"Come on, we haven't received military pay for a long time. Nine times out of ten, it's the higher-ups who have fooled us. They keep saying they will pay military pay, but every time they don't even see a shadow of it."
The soldiers were all indifferent. They didn't care who was the governor or the emperor. They just wanted to know whether they could get the military pay they deserved.
Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Chengyin, Gao Dejie, Wang Pingfan and others were even more shocked and frightened.
"Is it?"
Zhu Di had understood the situation in Ningyuan and knew the difficulties of these soldiers, so he was not angry and asked directly: "Do you want to get the military pay you deserve?"
"Your Majesty the Governor, Sergeant Ningyuan has not been paid military pay for a long time. Sir Governor, can you pay the military pay first to appease the hearts of the troops?"
"Since you want to get your military pay, then kill them. Kill them, and you will get everything you want."
They decided to test "Zhu Yong" to see if there was any possibility of cooperation with "Zhu Yong".
Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Chengyin, Gao Dejie, Wang Pingfan and others were tightly packed together, staring at Zhu Di, and a strong sense of fear suddenly arose in their hearts.
"What do you mean, of course it means to reveal your true colors."
Zhu Di smiled coldly and asked the soldiers: "Do you know why you are fighting desperately on the battlefield to protect your family and country, but you can't get the military pay you deserve?"
The soldiers were confused again. Didn't the imperial court refuse to pay them military pay?
That's what their bosses told them.
