Chapter 826 Some People Deserve to Die
Tens of thousands of soldiers were looking ahead in the camp.
The most direct reason for the defeat at Tumu Fort was the lack of water in the army. Even with the emperor at the helm and veteran generals like Duke Ying in command, the army still collapsed when Yesen attacked.
This shows the importance of water in the army... When marching, one must be close to a water source, and when camping, one must be close to a water source. As for food and grass, it goes without saying that they have always been of paramount importance.
Yan Song's attempt to appease the soldiers only aroused their anger.
Some people were inciting noise in the army, saying words that incited hatred, and encouraging the soldiers to attack Yan Song and others.
There was excitement in those people's eyes, and several border troops were discussing together.
And the theme was actually the White Lotus Sect.
It was not surprising that the border troops were infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect. These people usually didn't find opportunities to cause trouble, so they were overjoyed when they heard that the army was out of food.
As long as Yan Song is defeated, even if the emperor comes, he will not be able to stop the army from mutiny.
Just when these people were secretly happy, Jiang Qingzhi arrived.
Qin Yuan and the others' faces turned pale, but after seeing Jiang Qing, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle!" Du He had already prepared himself mentally to be killed by the rebel army, and at this moment he was almost in tears.
Zhao Wenhua was ecstatic, "Long Wilbur."
At this moment, this villain forgot all the past grudges. If possible, he would like to give Jiang Qingzhi a big hug... It is said that Jiang Qingzhi likes to use hugs to express his joy.
Yan Song's lips moved, first with joy, then with sadness, and finally he spoke, "Qingzhi, are you here?"
There must be imperial spies in the army, and today's events will be reported to Emperor Jiajing later.
The army was short of food, and the soldiers were making trouble. Yan Song, who had enjoyed great success along the way, was helpless. Fortunately, Jiang Qingzhi arrived in time...
The villain Yan Song.
The protagonist is Jiang Qingzhi.
Jiang Qingzhi sat on the horseback, "Form a battle array!"
Not loud.
But it could be heard from far away in the silence.
The soldiers in the front line were the first to line up.
Then, one after another...
"Return to the team!"
"Damn it, come back and form a formation!"
Zhu Shitai is summoning his subordinates.
"Assemble!"
Ma Fang is summoning his subordinates.
Just now they were helpless and were swept forward by the crowd. Ma Fang tried to comfort and persuade them at first, but after being kicked by someone, he wisely shut up.
Zhu Shitai glanced at his uncle with burning eyes, and told himself, "I want this! I want this!"
As long as one person stands there, tens of thousands of troops will be in awe... This is the path I want to pursue!
At this moment, Zhu Shitai had forgotten everything about inheriting the Duke's Mansion, being a playboy in the capital, and the future of his family.
"A man should be like this!" Ma Fang looked at his mentor and said softly.
The crowd was dispersing and then regrouping following the shouts of the generals of various armies.
Shen Jun was observing that the soldiers who had fierce eyes before were now as docile as lambs.
The look in their eyes when they looked at Jiang Qingzhi was full of obedience and admiration.
When Altan's army marched south, they were prepared for defeat and even death in battle.
But they prevailed.
It was a victory that even the world and themselves could not believe.
And it's a big win.
This is a counterattack.
Every soldier completed a counterattack in his life.
When they came together, they completed a class counterattack.
After the great victory, they returned triumphantly. The people along the way looked at them with enthusiasm instead of disgust or indifference. They took out the little food they had, stood on the roadside, cheered for them, and rushed to deliver the food to them.
You can’t refuse it!
At that moment, many soldiers felt that it was worth it to fight for their country!
At that moment, they vaguely thought of a word.
Family, country and world!
The warrior class is awakening and fighting back!
It was this young man in front of them who pulled them out of the abyss of watchdogs and led them to complete this counterattack.
Therefore, Du He and others said that even if Jiang Qingzhi was here, he could only pacify the army for half a day at most.
But looking at the soldiers' eyes at this moment, Du He whispered: "I underestimated the prestige of the Earl."
Du Bao followed Jiang Qingzhi back. He asked, "Dad, will His Majesty be suspicious of my uncle?"
The children of the powerful and wealthy are always more sensitive to this aspect than ordinary people.
Du He shook his head. "Once the new policy is implemented, Lord Bo will have countless enemies."
Du Bao understood, "The new policy brings dangers to Lord Bo, but also opportunities."
Zhao Wenhua also thought of this. He looked at his old adoptive father with complicated eyes. The ecstasy of being rescued from despair gradually faded away, and his heart was filled with bitterness.
Many people are speculating that Jiang Qingzhi’s triumphant return this time will arouse Dao Ye’s suspicion.
But Jiang Qingzhi was calm and composed. At the full moon banquet, Huang Jin was present in person, and the female officials around Concubine Lu Jing also came.
Even the full-moon gifts are filled with auspiciousness and good meanings.
The cousins slapped those people outside in the face with their actions.
Now, Jiang Qingzhi, in front of an army of 60,000, did not hide his prestige in the army, which was a gesture.
There was no suspicion from beginning to end!
Benbo returned to Beijing early because he missed his wife and children seriously.
Yan Song obviously thought of this as well. He did not sleep all night and even wondered what Jiang Qingzhi knew by returning to Beijing early.
But at this moment he knew one thing: I have been a villain in vain.
The army was lined up and there was no end in sight.
The north wind howled past, but Jiang Qingzhi stood still as a mountain.
not talking!
But that sharp look conveys a message.
——This is the army!
It’s not a fucking bandit’s den!
Yan Song coughed dryly, "Qingzhi, is there something wrong with the Ministry of Revenue?" "The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Yao, intercepted the baggage."
Who is Yan Song? He immediately understood, "The Ministry of Revenue corruption case!"
Jiang Qingzhi nodded, and Zhao Wenhua gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely make Chen Yao face a dilemma between life and death!"
The situation has stabilized.
But if the food doesn't come, the problem won't end there.
Yan Song asked: "How far is the baggage train from here?"
"I can't make it today."
Yan Song was startled, "Today... is it possible to appease him?"
"I don't think about things that are impossible to happen." Jiang Qingzhi took out the medicinal cigarette, and Boll took the lead in handing over the firewood. Jiang Qingzhi took a few puffs and exhaled the smoke.
Bol retreated, and Sun Bu Tong whispered, "Damn it, I suspect you have been staring at my uncle!"
Bol said calmly: "With the master in mind, I will be quick to act."
Hey!
This guy is now more Ming Dynasty-oriented than the Ming Dynasty people, so Sun Bu Tong can only shake his head and admit that he has met a strong rival in his mission to bring honor to his boss.
"It can't happen?" Zhao Wenhua was puzzled.
Yan Song coughed dryly, "Where does the food and grass come from?"
"right away."
Jiang Qingzhi took a puff of the medicinal smoke.
Outside the camp, the soldiers on duty saw a line of large carts approaching quickly.
That's right, come here quickly.
Anyone with experience knows that a horse pulling a heavy cart cannot go too fast. If it goes too fast, not only the horse but also the cart will be ruined. A small pothole can cause you to lose a lot of money.
Just then, a cart suddenly overturned, and the horse was hung in the air by the lifted cart, neighing helplessly.
A rider rushed over and shouted, "Don't worry about it. Delivering the rest to the camp will be a credit. You can have good wine and food later. Eat and drink as much as you want! Double the reward!"
The faces of the laborers turned blue due to the morning breeze, but their eyes were full of joy. As they pushed the carts and the horses worked hard, the convoy actually accelerated.
"Did I see a ghost?" The soldier guarding the gate rubbed his eyes.
This was the first time that everyone saw such a desperate convoy and such proactive civilians.
"Open the door!" Mo Zhan was behind the camp gate.
The camp gate opened and the convoy entered one after another.
"It's food!"
The cheers reached the army, and everyone couldn't help but tiptoe to look.
Yan Song turned around and saw a huge convoy approaching.
The cart was piled with bulging sacks, which were clearly grain.
"This is..." Yan Song rubbed his old eyes, "Didn't they say that there is no food available to supply the army in the surrounding area?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Qingzhi.
"Where did the rebels get their food during the Yellow Turban Rebellion?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
"Destroy the family, clean up the rich..."
But this is the Ming Dynasty, not the end of the Han Dynasty. If you have the guts, go and try to destroy their home.
Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "As I said before, you know nothing about the power of businessmen."
As he spoke, Jiang Qingzhi glanced at Yan Song.
"Another grain team is coming!" someone cheered.
Yan Song felt relieved, knowing that he had escaped.
Then fatigue came over him like a tide, but he froze. "The power of merchants?"
Jiang Qingzhi said to the generals: "The army is safe, and no one will be held accountable later."
The law does not hold everyone responsible. Once the case is investigated, it will not only undermine the morale of this triumphant army, but will also be a heavy blow to the rising spirits of the military class.
The New Deal needed an army that held its head high, not slave-like refugees.
"Yes."
Jiang Qingzhi shook off the ashes from his cigarette and said, "I will not take care of the rest."
"You want to go back?" Yan Song asked. Jiang Qingzhi should have stayed in the army after solving the problem, and returned victoriously to accept the cheers of the people of the capital and the emperor's commendation.
"Some people deserve to die." Jiang Qingzhi sneered.
……
After arriving in Beijing, Chen Yao did not go home.
Instead, he took his staff to a tavern.
The owner of the wine shop turned out to be a woman. After seeing Chen Yao, she smiled and said, "It's rare for the Minister to come today."
The two of them looked quite familiar with each other, and the aide sat down calmly. Chen Yao went to get the bowl and chopsticks by himself, and said in a relaxed manner: "Just ask for what you want to eat."
The aide said, "Just a cup of hot soup will be good."
"I'll be right there." The woman went to the kitchen.
Chen Yao went to get the wine from his familiar place and filled up the glasses for himself and his staff, with reminiscence in his eyes.
"That year, I passed the imperial examination and my family arranged a marriage for me. I already had a childhood sweetheart, but my parents said that since I was a successful student, I would need to find a wife with a good family background to become an official. I..."
Chen Yao smiled and said, "At that time, my mind was full of fame and fortune, so I agreed."
When the food and wine arrived, the woman said with a smile, "Why are you talking about this? We have been doing fine for many years, haven't we?"
"Yeah!" Chen Yao patted the woman's hand, raised his glass, and slowly recounted his life experiences.
I do not know how long it has been.
There was the sound of horse hooves outside.
Then someone dismounted and entered the tavern.
Chen Yao looked at his staff, "I knew it halfway through. It must be you who leaked the news. You used the excuse of going to the toilet for a long time before. You were going to tip off the news, right?"
The aide was shocked and said, "Yes."
Chen Yao smiled and said, "It's time for me to die, but is it the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang who came?"
The staff turned around.
"It's Long Wilbur."
