The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 145
Yuan Chonghuan is not tall, with a dark complexion, and his brows are always locked, so he feels unapproachable without speaking.

Since receiving the imperial decree, he spent a month preparing, mainly to dispatch a batch of military rations to be brought to Datong. This was also a gift from his supervisor, Datong, to the Datong frontier army, to win the hearts of the soldiers.

On the other hand, he brought over Cao Bianjiao and Hong Chengchou, the capable generals he had selected from the extermination of the thieves, leaving Sun Chengzong and Zuo Liangyu to continue watching Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who were hiding in the mountains and could not come out.

Defeating the rogues made Yuan Chonghuan famous and made him more ambitious. Therefore, whenever the emperor asked him about the Liaodong War, he recommended himself without hesitation and asked him to be the supervisor of Liaodong.

Speaking of it, he was not on a whim. Yuan Chonghuan had been paying close attention to the Liaodong War when he was the magistrate, analyzing the previous wars between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and summing up the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, as well as the characteristics of the use of troops.Over the past few years, he has formed his own plan in his mind on how to fight against the Manchus and regain Liaodong.

Defeating Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong made him more confident in his ability to use troops, so he dared to pat his chest and promise the emperor that he could pacify the Liao Dynasty for five years and use his own head as a guarantee.

After everything was ready, Yuan Chonghuan took Cao Bianjiao, Hong Chengchou and other cronies to go first, and the food and grass brought by them were slowly moved behind by the brigade.

This time Yuan Chonghuan came to Datong to supervise the division, not only with food, but also with 2 troops.These [-] horses are all elites trained in the process of suppressing the thieves in the past six months, and Yuan Chonghuan regards them as the fundamental support for his Ping Liao.

Yuan Chonghuan did not trust the frontier army.In his opinion, the corruption of the frontier army was the main reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to retreat steadily in the confrontation with the Manchu Qing.The root of the frontier army's corruption is of course that the generals at all levels of the frontier army are corrupt and incompetent, and incompetent in fighting, but they are all good at deducting military pay and supporting servants.

Therefore, when he went to Datong this time, he was ready to kill and rectify the frontier army and Datong officialdom.

Therefore, when the former sentry guards came to report that Datong's civil and military officials and gentry were waiting to greet him in the long pavilion ten miles outside the city, Yuan Chonghuan's face darkened even more.

"Tell them, they are all dispersed, and each of them will go back to the office to perform their duties. The governor will enter the city by himself, and then he will call them to discuss matters." Yuan Chonghuan frowned and ordered.

"Yes, Master Supervisor!" The outpost guards turned their horses and ran back.

All the civil and military officials in Datong had already thought about what to say when they met the Master Supervisor. Many people were busy arranging their clothes and hats, so as not to be rude in front of the Master Supervisor, but ushered in I got the news that Master Supervisor did not stop and went directly to the city.

This surprised everyone, this Governor Yuan was too shameless, so many people waited for him under the sun for a long time, and he disappeared without saying a word.

At this moment, many people finally remembered the other meaning of the title of the black-faced supervisor, that barbarian, and they all looked embarrassed and at a loss.

Li Yongnian, the commander in chief of Datong, stood on the spot and thought for a few breaths, then suddenly smiled, and then waved his hand and was the first to leave, riding back on horseback, followed by all the generals behind him.

The remaining group of civil servants stood there at a loss, all looking at Mu Zuo, the prefect of Datong.

Mu Zuo was stunned for a moment, then stomped his feet and got into his carriage, heading back to Datong City.

Both civil and military leaders in Datong left, and the rest of the people had to follow suit, leaving only a little messy footprints.

After Yuan Chonghuan and his party entered Datong City, the first thing they did was to come to the Datong frontier camp and gather the generals by beating drums.

The rapid drumbeat resounded through the barracks, and the youngest ones who were eligible to enter the big tent were all generals at the garrison level.

After everyone entered the big tent of the Chinese army, they were a little surprised to find Li Yongnian, the commander in chief of Datong who used to sit behind the commander-in-chief, also standing in the first position on the left, but no one dared to say anything. He quietly found his position and stood up.

After a while, Yuan Chonghuan turned out from the back of the big tent, came to Shuai's case, frowning and glanced around the generals in the tent.

Cao Bianjiao and Hong Chengchou stood proudly on both sides of Yuan Chonghuan.

"Is everyone here?" Yuan Chonghuan said the first sentence.

"Report to Master Supervisor, all the generals above the garrison have arrived." Li Yongnian, the commander-in-chief of Datong, came out and replied.

Yuan Chonghuan nodded, and there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Although it disappeared quickly, it was caught by the delicate Li Yongnian.

Could it be that the Master Supervisor doesn't want everyone to be here?It seems that they want to find someone to do the surgery and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys.Thinking of this, Li Yongnian raised his heart and told himself to be more careful, and never become that chicken used to frighten monkeys.

In fact, Yuan Chonghuan had this idea.He knew that these frontier generals would have contempt for him, who was a civil servant, as a supervisor, so he planned to establish his prestige as a supervisor from the very beginning, and wanted to find a hapless person to clean up and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys.

It turned out that these people were lucky, and no one hit the gun.

Putting this thought aside, Yuan Chonghuan waved, and Hong Chengchou who was next to him hurriedly took out a long brocade box from his arms and held it to Yuan Chonghuan with both hands.

Yuan Chonghuan opened the brocade box, took out a roll of gold silk and silk, and said loudly: "This is the decree of His Majesty the Emperor, and the generals will accept it!"

When all the generals heard this, they hurriedly turned around and knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "I will accept the order!"

Yuan Chonghuan opened the silk and read aloud: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Liaodong has been corrupted for decades, resulting in the rampage of eastern captives, the fall of the city, and the devastation of the people. I am ashamed of my ancestors. Yuan Qing Chonghuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, loyal The country is well-equipped with both civil and martial arts. He was specially appointed as the governor of Liaodong. He was led by the university students of Hongwenge to lead the war in Liaodong. All civil and military affairs were subject to his restraint. If there are people who violate the law, they can use the emperor's sword to kill first and then play. I respect this !July 32th, [-]nd year of Daming Jingrun."

When all the generals heard this, their hearts were filled with awe. This Lord Superintendent even took the emperor's sword with him, which undoubtedly controlled the power of life and death for everyone in the tent.

"Did you all hear clearly?" Yuan Chonghuan closed the imperial decree, scanned the kneeling crowd, and asked coldly.

"The minister waits to obey the order!" Everyone hurriedly said in unison.

"Respectfully invite the emperor to control the sword!" Yuan Chonghuan handed over the imperial decree to Hong Chengchou, and said to Cao Bianjiao who was next to him.

Cao Bianjiao took off the long gold silk wrapping behind his back and held it to Yuan Chonghuan with both hands.

Yuan Chonghuan unwrapped the gold silk wrapping, held out a golden long sword with precious stones inlaid on the scabbard and hilt, held it up with both hands and solemnly said loudly: "Your Majesty said: Seeing this sword, it is as if I am here in person. Holding the sword Those who can act on my behalf, kill those who disobey, and report to me afterwards."

The generals heard the words beheading and disobedience for the second time, and their hearts were even more awe-inspiring, but they didn't dare to express anything on their faces. Master Supervisor is the first to follow!"

Seeing everyone so respectful, Yuan Chonghuan once again experienced the beauty of power, and smiled in satisfaction, but quickly disappeared.

After receiving the emperor's sword, Yuan Chonghuan, after being a high-ranking commander, wore a gold-topped helmet with phoenix wings on his head, and the red tassel on the helmet was as bright as blood. Not much to say.

"All the generals are gone first, and Li Zongbing stays to talk." Yuan Chonghuan issued his first password after taking office.

After all the generals Shi Li left, only Li Yongnian, the commander in chief of Datong, remained in the tent.

"Mr. Li, the governor has heard of you a long time ago, and knows that you are a general. From now on, I want to help the governor in a good way and fight hard to pacify the Liao Dynasty. Are you willing?" Yuan Chonghuan looked at the tall man. , the head of the Datong military general with a calm and introverted face, tried his best to squeeze out a smile to make himself look gentler.

But he didn't know that for a person like him who usually doesn't like to smile, if he smirked, it would be even more awkward.

Li Yongnian restrained his mind, clasped his fists and said: "Report to Master Supervisor, I will fully cooperate with you in the end."

Yuan Chonghuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Mr. Li, sit down and talk."

After Li Yongnian sat down, Yuan Chonghuan also made Cao Bianjiao, and Hong Chengchou sat on his left.

"Mr. Li, the last time the eastern captives besieged the city, why did they retreat after three days? Can the reason be found out?" Yuan Chonghuan cut to the chase, asking about the last battle in the first sentence.

Li Yongnian pondered for a moment, organized his words and said: "Reporting to Master Supervisor, after investigation, I found that this matter is quite related to the team led by a man surnamed Jiang."

　The third one arrives.Thanks to the "Black Gloves" brothers for the reward.
