Chapter 816: Stalemate
Seeing that a Cheng biting gold was killed halfway, the director surnamed Si Fang, who was embarrassed by Huang Dare, stood up and asked, "Who are you who dare to come to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to spread wild?" ”
Huang Mengjia was nearly a head taller than the principal, he took a few steps closer, and said condescendingly: "I am Huang Mengjia, the thousand general manager of Qionghai Town, the imperial brocade guard, which onion are you?" ”
He is thick and fine, knowing that he is not higher than Lin Gao in the capital, and officials with a higher grade than himself are everywhere, and the name of Qionghai Town Qianzong is not as good as Jinyi Wei Qianhu, so he reported this title by the way, and specially emphasized that it was the emperor who rewarded him, although the title plus the word "imperial gift" is a bit nondescript, but it can express this meaning.
As the real power official of the Ministry of War, he holds the power of the promotion of the military attache in the world, and Director Fang naturally doesn't pay attention to what Qianzong, but this title of Jinyi Wei Qianhu really shocked him - it is not easy for local military generals to add Jinyi Wei Qianhu title, and it is generally a figure who is Jane in the emperor's heart, not something that can be easily handled by the Ministry of Justice. He took two steps back with a pale face, and said to Yang Sichang: "My lord, you have seen it, the soldiers and generals of Qionghai Town are all so arrogant and domineering, and they actually insult their subordinates, please let your subordinates call the shots!" ”
Yang Sichang frowned, it seems that this strong man is a little trickier than the little minion just now. However, in his eyes, the two are nothing more than the difference between a big grasshopper and a small grasshopper, and they have to be pinched to death anyway, and it takes a little more effort. Not to mention a thousand households in Jinyiwei, even if Jinyiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to come in person, it couldn't stop his determination to realize his political ideas.
He looked at the large group of soldiers around Huang Mengjia, and said to Shen Chong calmly: "It seems that you don't have enough guerrillas in the Shenshu Battalion, and the thieves are not less soldiers and horses than you, do you want to transfer some more men and horses?" ”
Shen Chong's eyelids jumped, this sentence directly defined Huang Mengjia and others as "thieves", it seems that this newly appointed right attendant is determined to deal with these soldiers from Qionghai Town.
Although there are many soldiers in the Beijing camp, Shen Chong knows what the combat effectiveness is. In addition to the five military battalions and the squad troops drawn from the surrounding areas of Beizhili (Note 1), the Shenshu battalion is filled with a large number of noble children, and the Shenji battalion has become a gilded place for the nobles, although the armor is distinct, the equipment is excellent, and the image is several grades higher than that of foreign soldiers and horses, but they are all showy, these young master soldiers are unwilling to endure hardships, rarely practice, and have never been in actual combat, which can be described as vulnerable, really want to do it, and how can it be the opponent of the elite soldiers in the border town?
Shen Chong doesn't know much about other border towns, but this Qionghai Town has been too famous in the past year or two, and he can't even think about it. Don't talk about it far away, just talk about the Tartar head of the car in front of you, who can do it in the world? Last year, there was a glorious record of Nan Zhili's defeat of the Liukou and the capture of Gao Yingxiang, and Shen Chong witnessed the grand prisoner ceremony.
He really didn't want to really fight with these elite soldiers who killed their opponents from the battlefield, but the people in the military department couldn't be offended, especially Lord Yang, who was rumored to take over as the secretary of the military department in the future. He hesitated for a moment, decided not to offend both sides, and whispered to Yang Sichang: "My lord, Xiaguan is just a guerrilla, there are too many big people in the Beijing camp, and if you want to transfer more soldiers and horses, Xiaguan is powerless!" ”
Yang Sichang stared at him, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.
Shen Chong was a little weak and lowered his head.
Yang Sichang looked at him for a while, smiled, and said: "What Shen Guerrilla said makes sense, it is difficult for you to let you mobilize the soldiers and horses of other units in the Beijing camp." ”
Shen Chong was relieved: "The adults really sympathize with our errand-running ......"
"Since you can't mobilize troops, I'll help you." Yang Sichang interrupted him, "Someone, take a pen and paper, I'll write a note and send it to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and let the Metropolitan Governor give an order to transfer the two battalions of the Shenshu Battalion and the left and right posts of the Shenji Battalion to come." At the feet of the Son of Heaven, Lang Lang Qiankun, I don't believe that a few thieves can be lawless! ”
Except for the special combat team, everyone present was taken aback, and the matter became bigger and bigger. There are a total of 10 battalions in the Shenshu battalion, two more and two, plus Shen Chong's department, there are already three battalions, and the Shenji battalion is divided into five armies: the middle army, the left leg, the right sentry, the left outpost, and the right outpost, and two outposts are transferred at once, which is almost half of the strength of the Shenji battalion. At this moment, a small half of the troops of the entire Beijing camp will gather in the military headquarters, and there will be no way to stand so many people in the Yamen Square, so they can only squeeze into the streets. If it weren't for the martial law of the Beijing Division, most of the troops of the Beijing camp would be responsible for the defense of the city wall, and it is estimated that this Lord Yang would transfer more than half of the troops of the Beijing camp.
Shen Chong felt incredible, dealing with a thousand people younger, is it necessary to mobilize the crowd so much? If these battalion leaders all come, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people, and even the emperor will be alarmed, even the military department Shangshu does not have such great power and courage, right? He secretly glanced at Yang Sichang, and saw that what he said was categorical, but he was not in a hurry to start writing, it seemed that he wanted to make a false shot and scare the other party, so he was relieved.
The facts were indeed as Shen Chong expected, Yang Sichang brought out the Shenshu Battalion and the Shenji Battalion as a threat, not to really transfer so many troops. He still has this political consciousness, even if he is the secretary of the military department, without the emperor's approval, he has no right to mobilize so many soldiers and horses, even if he has this power, if he really wants to gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the emperor will be the first to wonder if he will be a rebellion?
Huang Mengjia and the others were unmoved, and they didn't seem to hear these words at all. Qiong Haijun had a "criminal record" of fighting with the Shenji Battalion in Nanjing, and even the initiator of the town and the eunuch was killed, so how could he be afraid of the Beijing camp in the capital? When it comes to fighting, they are really not afraid of anyone.
Yang Sichang was a little surprised, the psychological quality of these big-headed soldiers was so good, which made him a little difficult to ride a tiger. Originally, it was the best way to use the people of the Shenshu Battalion and the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division to disperse Huang Kang's group, but Huang Mengjia joined the confrontation with nearly a thousand soldiers, and things became complicated.
Let's write a letter, use the majesty of the military department to make them retreat, these people don't eat this at all. Although Yang Sichang had a hundred ways to choke the other party's neck in terms of salary and official position afterwards, the other party didn't seem to care about the consequences of offending the military department; Come to Wu, it's okay to disperse one or two hundred people, but it's not easy to do a thousand people. If it really wants to cause an armed conflict at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Yang Sichang can't afford to take this responsibility.
Things are at an impasse, time is slowly passing, the sun has set, the street shops are closing, and the lanterns in front of every house are lit.
At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "When did the military department become so lively?" The whole street is flooded, is this going to war? ”
