Chapter 718: The old minister who was forced to do business took pleasure in killing
"This is slander!"
"Huang Bai, you son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you later!"
After several generals were captured, they continued to threaten Huang Bai, which made Jiang Qingzhi think of bullying in later generations.
"Additional crime!"
Mr. Jiang never tolerates other people's bad habits.
Several generals looked pale and were dragged out.
Zheng Shuo looked quite calm, and even asked with a smile, "This is the case everywhere in the world. If Lord Bo can take action in Datong, what about other places? What about the south? Lord Bo is willing to make enemies with the whole world, why?"
People with different values have completely different perspectives on things.
Corruption and nepotism are just minor matters in Zheng Shuo's eyes.
"If it weren't for you, how could the Nine Frontiers be so weak?" Jiang Qingzhi said coldly, "What you call the world is those idiots who manipulated the army! Are they worthy of representing the world? How innocent are the people in the world!"
"As for why we are here." Jiang Qingzhi pointed outside, "Altan's army is not far from here. If everything remains unchanged, the grassland cavalry will march straight in. Along the way... do you know how many people will die? How many people will be abducted and taken to the grassland as slaves? How many women will be ravaged by foreigners..."
"Can't you see? After the Battle of Tumu, Yesen's army marched straight to the capital. In that battle, so many people became dead souls, so many people became pigs and dogs... Can't you see? Are you blind?"
Jiang Qingzhi threw the ashtray he brought from home at him.
The ceramic ashtray hit Zheng Shuo's forehead hard, and blood immediately flowed all over his face.
"You can see it, but you turn a blind eye. In your eyes, the Ming Dynasty can be destroyed, and the people can be enslaved, but you can't lose even a little bit of your benefits."
"Calling you beasts is an insult to the word beast!" Jiang Qingzhi said angrily, "Investigate thoroughly! Find out and report to the Ministry of War."
Jiang Qingzhi looked at everyone and said, "Anyone who dares to cover up for these beasts, or even plead for them, will be arrested for the same crime!"
These words were so overbearing that everyone was startled, knowing that this old man was really angry.
Where is Yan Song?
Is the old prime minister willing to be used by Jiang Qingzhi?
Huang Mao narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Song.
This notorious Prime Minister was able to stand firm amid the siege of the literati, not only because of the support of Emperor Jiajing, but also because of the influence of the Yan Party and his own skills.
Today, Jiang Qingzhi peeled off the face of the Datong military in front of Yan Song. Zhang Da, Jiang's lackey, naturally dared not say anything, but you, Yan Song, have to have your own stance, right?
Otherwise... Huang Mao looked at the civil servants, and they all felt a sense of grief for the loss of another.
Yan Song coughed dryly, "The war is imminent..."
"The war is imminent, but the army is filled with such idiots who are just filling in the numbers. Once they face Altan Khan's army, does the Prime Minister think that he can defeat Altan Khan's army with these idiots?"
Jiang Qingzhi turned around and looked at Yan Song.
This is a matter for warriors, you'd better shut up!
That gaze was sharper than ever before.
Staring at Yan Song.
The collusion between Huang Mao and Zhao Wenhua could not be hidden from the local tyrant Zhang Da, which means that Jiang Qingzhi knew it all.
But he didn't say anything, which was a statement: Unless the crime is committed by me, I, Jiang Qingzhi, will not be involved in the affairs of Datong civil servants.
Don't interfere with other people's business... If you want to, don't blame me for turning against you.
Is this boy born in the year of the dog?
Yan Song looked at Jiang Qingzhi.
Jiang Qingzhi refused to give in.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Song sighed and said, "Okay."
Yan Song gave in.
Zheng Shuo’s last straw was gone, his body went limp, and the two soldiers couldn’t even hold him up.
"Master, please spare my life, Master, please spare my life..."
He actually asked for mercy!
Zhang Da's eyes narrowed, realizing that Zheng Shuo had committed other crimes that he was not aware of.
And once this crime is discovered, the death penalty will be certain.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Jiang Qingzhi sat down and said with a smile, "Old Du."
"My Lord." After a slap, you have to give him a jujube to eat. Du He knew this truth and understood the meaning of the words. "If it weren't for the bravery of the Datong border troops, I wouldn't have been able to launch a surprise attack calmly."
Qin Yuan also said: "That's right."
Old Qin is pretty good... Du He said, "To be honest, at first I thought the Ming border troops were not even as good as guard dogs, but who knew that once they met the enemy, they were so powerful... It's surprising!"
Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "There are bad apples everywhere. I think there are many soldiers like Huang Bo in the Datong army. In the next war... we will take care of the bad apples. If anyone has made meritorious deeds, there is no need to worry about being suppressed by others. The Prime Minister is here and will definitely deal with them impartially."
You bastard... Yan Song couldn't help but curse inwardly, thinking that this guy actually dragged him out to endorse again, but he had to make a gesture on the surface.
"The soldiers fought bravely for the country. If they were treated unfairly, how could I sit back and watch?"
Look!
How the hell is this the traitor that people outside are talking about?
He is clearly the kind elderly neighbor!
The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became lively.
"The movements of Altan's army must be detected in time. In addition, this time Altan's two armies went straight to the two sides of Datong, which means they are preparing to march straight to the capital."
Jiang Qingzhi started talking, and all the generals listened attentively. Some of them took out paper and pen and began to take notes.
Huang Bai was able to learn military tactics from Jiang Qingzhi and put them into practice, which is why he has achieved great success today.
What about me waiting?
The learning atmosphere is unprecedentedly warm.
Zhao Wenhua watched all this numbly, while Yan Song listened with great interest.
Some people have long said that Jiang Qingzhi's small class is quite good. Qiu Luan scoffed at it at first, but later he heard that this guy was seeking advice from Wu Xun who had attended Jiang Qingzhi's small class, and he did not feel ashamed.
"My Lord, why does Altan need two routes? If we concentrate our troops on one route, wouldn't we have a better chance of success?" someone raised his hand and asked.
Hey!
I also learned to raise my hand... Zhao Wenhua seemed to have returned to his school days. "That's a good question," Jiang Qingzhi smiled gently, making people forget his previous cruelty. "If there is only one group of troops, our army only needs to block one place. Splitting the troops into two groups may seem to weaken the troops, but what is the purpose of Altan Khan's ordering a small army to directly attack the capital?"
Jiang Qingzhi paused for a moment, giving everyone time to think, and then continued: "The reason why a small force is a small force is because it cannot achieve major goals. More than 10,000 troops may be able to reach the capital directly, and then how will each place respond?"
Qin Yuan said: "The Beijing guards will be mobilized in full force."
Du He said: "The surrounding officers and soldiers will definitely attack with all their strength."
"Look." Jiang Qingzhi spread his hands and said with a smile, "You all understand the truth without me telling you. That's right, more than 10,000 troops can go straight to the capital, but they will face the dilemma of being surrounded and suppressed afterwards."
"Altan ordered his detachment to attack the capital for two reasons. The first was to disrupt our army's morale." Jiang Qingzhi spoke slowly, allowing the generals to think slowly. "The enemy army has entered the capital directly, and the Datong defenders will be panicked, worried that the capital will be furious. At this time, Altan led a large army to arrive. The Datong defenders are panicked and confused. Can they be a match?"
The generals nodded.
"Second, the detachment is looting everywhere in the capital area, threatening our army's food supply. Without food, how can the army fight?"
Jiang Qingzhi analyzed Altan's intentions one by one, and Yan Song nodded slightly, feeling that he had also gained a lot.
"Remember, when two countries fight or two armies fight, it is never a competition of which side kills more people, but rather..." Jiang Qingzhi stretched out three fingers and bent them one by one.
"The right time, the right place, the right people... The art of war is the result of the hard work of our ancestors. It is not something metaphysical. If you study it diligently and comprehend it, you will naturally gain something."
"I would like to be taught!"
The generals bowed and saluted.
Then I realized I seemed to be in the wrong place.
Standing behind Jiang Qingzhi were Sun Chonglou and Mo Zhan. Sun Chonglou coughed dryly. Mo Zhan was about to cover his mouth, but Sun Chonglou spoke quickly, "Why does it look like a school?"
When the generals thought about it, they realized it was true and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
Then laughed.
"Hahahaha!"
The atmosphere turned heated.
Jiang Qingzhi struck while the iron was hot. "The two armies have returned in defeat, and Altan's army is still far from Datong." He asked Yan Song, "Prime Minister, should we let the soldiers eat meat and drink some wine today to celebrate this battle?"
The way of civil and military affairs is relaxed and relaxed.
Yan Song nodded, "Very good, I should also congratulate you for this battle."
In order to guard against Altan's army, the army has not tasted alcohol for half a month.
All the generals were delighted.
"The guards have been properly arranged." Jiang Qingzhi warned, "Also, Yan Xu..."
"Uncle!" Yan Xu came out.
"Hu Ben Zuo Wei is not among them!"
"Yes."
Generals: “…”
The entire Ming Dynasty was serving this war, and convoys carrying food and fodder set out from the capital in an endless stream every day.
Wine and meat were delivered to various camps, causing cheers.
Some generals went to the camp of Huben Zuowei while muttering.
"I'm sure he'll be dissatisfied."
"Damn it, no one can stand the taste of alcohol in March."
"Look, it's coming."
The Huben Zuowei began to assemble.
"Ma Fang!"
"exist!"
Ma Fang stepped out of the line, and Yan Xu said, "Ma Fang led 500 of our Tiger Guards to fight in this battle, and his performance was remarkable. Record the exploits and report them after the battle."
"Yes." Ma Fang looked calm, which was amazing.
"Damn it, he's acting as if nothing happened."
"Why do you think the commander sent a centurion with five hundred brothers to fight instead of a thousand? This Ma Fang is not simple!"
"Just now, Lord Bo ordered that all soldiers, except those on guard, can drink. But he specifically said that the Tiger Guards and the Left Guards are not included in the list. Are you dissatisfied?"
Yan Xu asked.
"Nothing!"
"Louder!"
"Nothing!"
What the hell!
More than a dozen generals were eavesdropping outside and were shocked when they heard this.
"My brothers in the Tiger Guard Left Guard think about killing the enemy, making achievements, and serving the country. As for pleasure..." Yan Xu grinned and said, "My uncle said that men who join the army should enjoy killing. What do you think?"
"Yes!"
"Enjoy killing?" More than a dozen generals looked pale.
Later, Jiang Qingzhi, dressed in plain clothes, came to Huben Zuowei.
Then Zhu Shitai was brought over quietly.
"How is it?" Jiang Qingzhi looked at Zhu Shitai.
Zhu Shitai knelt down without saying anything and said, "If it weren't for my second uncle's teachings, I'm afraid I would have died."
