As the Han army retreated, more and more Ming troops arrived.More than 100,000 troops gathered in Guangzhou, eating and drinking every day, and the consumption was a huge number, which was enough to give Zhu Yuye a headache.If Zhu Yujian hadn't fought the war, and Guangzhou hadn't sent supplies and money and grain to Huguang, Zhu Yujian would still have enough money and grain, but now Guangzhou really doesn't have much money.If this money can be reasonably distributed, it is still barely enough, but Liangguang has not experienced the turmoil since Chongzhen, the bureaucracy has not undergone a major change, and a large number of corrupt bureaucrats and small groups have occupied important positions in various yamen for a long time.Generally speaking, after a few decades of dynastic, the hierarchy gradually solidified, the bureaucracy gradually decayed, and the rule of officials slowly collapsed, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, which had gone through more than 270 years.For a time, 100,000 Ming troops gathered, although they were all their own men, but in order to compete for supplies, friction continued, and even robbed and extorted shops, insulted women, and made Guangzhou into a miasma.In order to calm down the contradictions and distribute military funds, Zhu Yuyi immediately convened the generals to discuss and demanded that the generals restrain the generals and not pick quarrels and provoke trouble.At this time, Li Dingguo came out of the mansion of King Yue, and it was getting late, so he took the guards and returned to the camp outside the city.The Western Army was a guest army, which could only be stationed outside the city, and could not enter the city of Guangzhou, and several Ming troops who arrived were also stationed outside the city.Li Dingguo rode a war horse, and Bai Wenxuan next to him said: "King, most of the officials in Guangzhou are rotten, if they are allowed to command, this battle will definitely not be fought!"
”After today's discussion, Zhu Yuyi left Li Dingguo to discuss alone, and in his words, he had the intention of soliciting Li Dingguo.Li Dingguo bowed slightly, "The king of Yue is quite wise and has the heart to do things, but the officials of the Ming Dynasty are indeed corrupt."
Nading Kuichu is greedy for money and dares to embezzle military funds, while Su Guansheng is greedy for power and wants me to obey their dispatch. ”Bai Wenxuan immediately said: "King, when I was in Daxi and wanted to conquer Hanzhong, I fell for Fu Shangrui.In any case, the king cannot hand over the military power, he must maintain the independence of the western army, and cannot let those corrupt officials dictate him. ”The two walked and talked, passing by a small town, and suddenly saw the ruins of the town, in which the smoke curled, and a local dog fell in a pool of blood and was cut into two pieces by a knife.Li Dingguo couldn't help frowning when he saw this, when he entered the city in the morning, the town was fine, how could he work hard in one day and become like this.This made Li Dingguo angry, "Who did this, under the city of Guangzhou, he dared to openly rob the people, which is even more hateful than bandits!"
”This area was close to the Western Army station, Bai Wenxuan thought that the Western Army did it, and hurriedly said to the guards: "Go in and have a look!"
”Li Dingguo's face was gloomy, "The order will go down, and each battalion will be selected and organized into a pacification team, and those who harass the people will be immediately killed!"
”At this time, the guards were about to enter the town, and several soldiers came out of the town with large bags and small bags, talking and laughing.These people are all equipped with the Ming army, but they really don't look like an army, they all wear crooked helmets, and their armor is not neat, so they can't tell which general's men and horses they are.Seeing this, Li Dingguo immediately shouted angrily: "Take it!"
”Before the soldiers could react, they were taken down by the Western army that rushed up, and Bai Wenxuan entered the town on horseback, and after a while, he came out with a gloomy face."
King, it wasn't our people who did it, let's go back to the camp!"
Bai Wenxuan said in a deep voice.After all, the Western Army is a guest army, and it is not easy to meddle in the affairs of the two Guangzhou.Li Dingguo entered the town and saw a family's yard wide open, and two old men, a man and a woman, fell to the ground, and a large pool of blood flowed.Li Dingguo couldn't help but turn over and dismount, and walked into the courtyard, he walked past the corpse, entered the house, and saw a man again, his hands were nailed to the door, his stomach was broken, and his intestines flowed to the ground, and on the bed in the bedroom lay a naked female corpse, her eyes were wide open, and the cabinets in the house were turned into a mess, and all valuable things were swept away.Li Dingguo's face was pale, and he withdrew from the courtyard, and the Ming army, who was caught by the guards, was begging for mercy with a flattering face, saying that he would give half of the looted things to the Western Army."
Kill!"
Li Dingguo's voice was cold, and he was angered by this group of ** who had lost their humanity.The Western Army Protector immediately pressed the Ming army to the ground, and regardless of the Ming soldiers' begging for mercy, they drew their knives and prepared to behead.At this moment, a large group of Ming troops came over from the town, led by a general, stretched out their hands and shouted: "Leave people under the knife!"
”This voice made the guards pause their movements, and the general led many Ming soldiers with the same untidy clothes and large bags to step forward, he glanced at the Western Army, and couldn't help frowning: "Whose subordinates are you, why are you arresting our people!"
Li Dingguo's cold gaze looked at the general, and pointed at the kneeling Ming army with a horsewhip, "This is your subordinate!"
”The general glanced at Li Dingguo, saw that he was dressed in fine fish scale armor, looked at the surrounding guards, and realized that he had met Xichuan soldiers."
The little ones are not sensible, if there is something that offended this general, please don't be surprised.They are all friendly troops, and we are also under the order of the national prince to carry out military affairs, and I also ask this general to let them die!
”Seeing that Li Dingguo's identity did not seem to be low, the generals of the Ming army spoke politely, and they were a little soft.Li Dingguo's whip pointed to the burden on the ground, and then pointed to the courtyard, "This is the official business you perform!"
”The general smiled awkwardly, "The brothers traveled over to help Guangzhou relieve the siege, but they didn't have anything to eat, so they couldn't fight hungry."
We were ordered to requisition grain and rebelled against the people, so we were punished. ”"Take it!"
Li Dingguo was furious and shouted: "It's clearly killing innocents indiscriminately and robbing the people, and I will wait for you to correct the Fa today!"
”The guards of the Western Army immediately drew their swords and spears in unison, and surrounded them, and when the general saw this, he couldn't help but say angrily: "We are the people of Qingguo Gong, what qualifications do you have to govern!"
A group of rogues, who didn't manage their own people well, what qualifications do they have to teach us!
”Li Dingguo still gave the order, "Kill all the murderers, beat the looting with fifty military sticks, and send them to the Qingguo public camp." ”The Western Army's guards suddenly swarmed up, and the two Guangcheng had been peaceful for a long time, and the men and horses of Qingguo Gong Chen Bangfu, where were the elite opponents of the Western Army, were subdued in a few clicks.Li Dingguo turned over and got on his horse, and a "click" sound sounded behind him, and more than a dozen ** were all killed.Back in the camp, Li Dingguo rectified military discipline and found that there were many Western troops who had also harassed the people, so he immediately arrested and beheaded several people.…… In the mansion of the governor of Liangguang, Ding Kuichu was sitting in the courtyard listening to the play, and Chen Bangfu came angrily."
Lord Duxian, you have to call the shots for me!"
Chen Bangfu got straight to the point.Ding Kuichu was stirred up Yaxing, but he was not angry, because Chen Bangfu was his ally and confidant.He was able to sit firmly as the governor of Liangguang and dare to be greedy for ink, because he had the support of Chen Bangfu and several other troops and horses, otherwise he would have been taken down."
What's going on?"
Ding Kuichu waved his hand and asked the troupe to retreat.Chen Bangfu said: "The western thieves deceived people too much, and they actually killed my subordinates and beat my people.This is not only not taking me seriously, but also despising Daming and slapping your face!
”Ding Kuichu couldn't help frowning, he knew that Zhu Yuyi valued Li Dingguo very much, so he was polite to Li Dingguo, and he didn't overcharge him with money, but Li Dingguo, a foreign guest army, actually dared to kill his subordinates, it would be too much.At the moment, Ding Kuichu asked the reason, and Chen Bangfu would not report it truthfully, but slandered the habits of the Western Army and did not change.Ding Kuichu frowned, he knew that Chen Bangfu's words could not be fully believed, but it was a fact that the Western Army killed him.And recently, he once euphemistically said that he wanted to bring the Western Army under his command, but Li Dingguo didn't like him at all, which made him angry, and now that something like this happened, Ding Kuichu was angry."
This matter, the governor knows, but the king of Yue values the western thief very much~" Although Ding Kuichu was angry, the old bureaucrat did not show it on his face.Chen Bangfu is different, his joy and anger are all in shape, "Is this the end of it?"
I can't swallow this!
”Ding Kuichu sneered, "You don't have to worry about this matter, this governor has his own way to rectify the western thief!"
”…… Ding Kuichu's method was very simple, that is, to no longer provide rations to the Western Army.At the beginning of October, the Western Army was in a shortage of food, and the army could only drink porridge for food.At this time, Li Dingguo came back from the city, and Bai Wenxuan immediately stepped forward, grabbed the reins of the horse, and asked, "King, are you going to get food?"
”Li Dingguo shook his head, and Bai Wenxuan suddenly said angrily: "King, let's withdraw, don't be angry with this bird!"
”Li Dingguo hesitated, if there is a dispute today, there is no way out.At this time, Li Dingguo turned over and dismounted, entered the camp, inspected the camp, and when he passed through the Huotou camp, he suddenly saw a group of soldiers hugging together, carrying chickens and ducks in their hands, as well as many clothes and cloths, driving pigs, sheep and ploughing cattle, and immediately became furious.Li Dingguo was born in the Western Army, and Li Dingguo was afraid of being looked down upon, so he had already strictly ordered military discipline and forbade soldiers to harass and plunder the people.The soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Li Dingguo was unmoved, and the first general, seeing that it was impossible to escape death, couldn't help crying: "King, this is a lowly order, don't do the business of the brothers, if you want to kill, kill the lowly one."
This is also to see that the brothers are pitifully hungry ~ woo woo ~ " Before the words were finished, the general was already silent.Seeing this, Li Dingguo still said: "The military order is like a mountain, I have said a long time ago, you are not allowed to harm the people, do you still want to be a returning coward?"
Now it's all over for everything!
Bai Wenxuan, send him on his way!
”Li Dingguo's heart tingled, and after speaking, he walked back to the handsome tent.After a while, Bai Wenxuan walked into the handsome tent with an ugly face and didn't say a word.Seeing this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but sigh and said, "You blame me for being too harsh." ”Bai Wenxuan said in a deep voice: "Don't dare!
”But everyone can see that he is duplicitous.Li Dingguo exhaled a turbid breath, "We want to wash away the identity of the rogue, get the recognition of the people, and be worthy of our conscience, only so!"
”After speaking, Li Dingguo turned around, turned his back to Bai Wenxuan, and waved his hand back, "Prepare to retreat!"
