Chapter 1094: Soldiers are bloodless
Zhang Fengyi had just left Xuanzhou, Wu Sangui immediately started to act, in terms of seizing the opportunity, he was extremely keen, this is a rare opportunity, if it is lost, it will be a pity. Wu Sangui knew very well that at the same time that Zhang Fengyi left Xuanzhou, Su Tiancheng would send someone to Xuanzhou, the biggest possibility was Qu Qingze, if Qu Qingze came to Xuanzhou, the 30,000 army would still be the same, there would be no change, and Qu Qingze would be needed to do the work, so his previous efforts would be in vain.
Wu Sangui was a little afraid of Su Tiancheng from the bottom of his heart, he abandoned a lot of unrealistic ideas, as long as he followed Su Tiancheng to work hard, maybe one day, Su Tiancheng became the emperor, then he would be able to get glory and wealth.
It is also under the support of such beliefs that Wu Sangui began to have frequent contact with many officers, talked about more things about the Jiangning battalion, and vigorously praised the treatment and courage of the Jiangning battalion.
Temporarily in charge of the affairs of the 30,000 army, is a general, but also Zhang Fengyi's henchman, Zhang Fengyi left Xuanzhou, must have assigned his trusted henchmen to be in charge of the army, Zhang Fengyi expected the danger, but also out of helplessness, he fought to return to the capital, if he did not strive to return to the capital, really wait until Su Tiancheng made a move, I am afraid that he will also catch it.
This general would not know so much about the situation, and he would definitely be happy to suddenly take charge of the command of the 30,000 army, as long as he could manage the 30,000 army well, he would definitely be promoted when Master Zhang returned.
Wu Sangui's movements, the general quickly found out.
The general also knew the bravery of the Jiangning battalion, and he was also envious in his heart, but now the situation is different. When Zhang Fengyi was leaving, he specifically emphasized that the army must be firmly controlled, and no abnormal sound is allowed.
The general doesn't have the same mind as Zhang Fengyi. Seeing Wu Sangui's actions like this, he was very angry, and he didn't care about 3721, and ordered the sergeant to arrest Wu Sangui.
But the general didn't expect that even the sergeants below had slowly changed, and when his order was just issued, Wu Sangui quickly knew it.
Wu Sangui is in the army. Originally, there was no strength, after all, he had not been by Zhang Fengyi's side for a long time, and he had not been used much, and there must be no loyal people around him, but Wu Sangui has been in the army since he was a child, and he is well versed in the psychology of sergeants. Zhilu said the courage of the Jiangning camp, and Zhilu Dao was able to enter the Jiangning camp. It will be the glory of a lifetime, and it will make these officers and sergeants understand that with their own introduction and efforts, everyone will definitely be able to enter the Jiangning camp.
The requirements for recruiting sergeants in the Jiangning battalion are very high, and not just anyone can get in, which is clear to many officers and sergeants. After all, the salary of the Jiangning battalion is very high, if anyone can get so much silver, then the Jiangning battalion will not be able to support it for a long time, as for the Jiangning battalion facing a lot of battles on the battlefield, everyone doesn't care. To be a soldier is to fight on the battlefield.
It was precisely because of this psychology of officers and sergeants that Wu Sangui recruited a large number of officers and sergeants.
After knowing the order of the general, Wu Sangui went out, the wealth was in danger, it was impossible to escape, so all the efforts in front of him were still in vain, and what kind of abnormal movements would occur in the army, no one could say, if it was because of his own agitation and escape, the army mutinied, then don't think about gaining a foothold anywhere.
Wu Sangui quickly left his room and found some of the officers, these are grassroots officers, most of them are hundreds, these people have straightforward personalities, there is no idea of beating around the bush, Wu Sangui is very smart, most of the officers above the guerrilla level of knowledge are difficult to encompass, people just think of taking refuge in the Jiangning camp, and if the general trend is not clear, they will not express their position.
After these officers learned that Wu Sangui was going to be arrested by the temporary responsible general, they were a little surprised, they had been thinking about entering the Jiangning battalion, Wu Sangui was their greatest hope, if Wu Sangui was arrested, because of this incident, offended the Jiangning battalion, the consequences were unimaginable, they were low-level officers, like ordinary sergeants, don't think about any good results.
However, these low-level officers also dare not move, after all, the subordinates obey the superiors, and under normal circumstances, they do not dare to disobey the orders of the superiors, but it is a pity that they meet Wu Sangui, who is skillful and eloquent, and a few words of agitation will encourage them.
A group of officers followed Wu Sangui and quickly rushed to the barracks where the general was.
The general was still waiting for Wu Sangui who was arrested in the barracks, but he didn't expect Wu Sangui to come by himself and bring a lot of officers.
The general's face changed, and he reprimanded Wu Sangui with a stern expression, ready to greet the sergeant outside and catch Wu Sangui, but unfortunately the general didn't expect that Wu Sangui had already prepared, and while the general was still talking, he leaned forward and killed the general.
Everyone in the room was stunned, looking at Wu Sangui, who was splashed with blood.
Wu Sangui told all the officers who came in that the matter had come to this point, and the only way to do it was to follow him, be loyal to the Jiangning camp, stabilize all the soldiers, and garrison the barracks, and immediately write a letter to ask Lord Su Tiancheng to send someone to let everyone enter the Jiangning camp.
Everyone was stunned by Wu Sangui.
The generals, guerrillas, and garrison officers who arrived later did not say much when they saw this scene.
The prestige of the Jiangning battalion is too great, and everyone knows very well that at this time, killing Wu Sangui is tantamount to working against the Jiangning battalion, what is the final result, this is obvious, think about the Jiangning battalion being able to exterminate more than 100,000 Houjin Tartars in Gaizhou and Liaodong, and the current 30,000 army, what is it.
The situation was unexpectedly stable, and everyone acquiesced to Wu Sangui's command.
Wu Sangui's heart finally let go, he is a sword that goes off the rails, and if he is not careful, his life will not be saved, but this also depends on the prestige of the Jiangning battalion and the prestige of Su Tiancheng, almost all the officers know that he Wu Sangui and Su Tiancheng have worshiped brothers.
After temporarily taking charge of all matters of the 30,000 army, Wu Sangui quickly issued a decision that all soldiers should be ready to join the Jiangning battalion, and if there were those who did not want to enter the Jiangning battalion, they could choose to leave.
Wu Sangui's words are tantamount to not saying, no matter who it is, including those high-ranking officers, who leaves the camp, how to survive, must take a boat to be able to go to Dengzhou, leaving the camp at this time is equivalent to a dead end.
Two days later, Qu Qingze rushed to Xuanzhou with 5,000 soldiers from the Jiangning battalion.
Qu Qingze is still a little nervous, his responsibilities are very heavy, after all, it is an army of 30,000, Su Tiancheng's requirements are clear, try not to have a cannibalistic situation, this kind of sensitive morale, the Ming army is killing each other, and the impact of the rumor is very bad, although Su Tiancheng, who controls public opinion, can make many reasons for it, so that the court has nothing to say.
Qu Qingze never imagined that Wu Sangui rushed to Xuanzhou City with many officers and came to visit.
In fact, after Wu Sangui took charge of the military camp, he immediately sent a sergeant to observe the movement of Xuanzhou City to see if there was a large army stationed in Xuanzhou.
After seeing Qu Qingze, Wu Sangui was very humble and knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Seeing Wu Sangui coming with many officers, Qu Qingze had already understood everything, he secretly admired Su Tiancheng's expectations, and when he left, Su Tiancheng specifically said that since Wu Sangui had written a letter, after Zhang Fengyi left the army, there would definitely be a move, and the best situation was that Wu Sangui had persuaded officers at all levels.
And that's the case now.
Qu Qingze also admired Wu Sangui's ability, 30,000 troops, a lot, everyone spit, they were able to drown Wu Sangui, in this case, Wu Sangui was able to take the initiative.
Qu Qingze was very happy and discussed with Wu Sangui about the resettlement of the army.
Su Tiancheng meant, the 30,000 troops belong to the Jiangning battalion, they must all be dispersed, and they can't be concentrated together, all 30,000 people will return to Dengzhou and be placed in Dengzhou, Qingzhou, Laizhou, Penglai City and other places, so that they can know the military regulations of the Jiangning battalion, as for the officers, all of them will be gathered and trained for a period of time, that is, brainwashing, those who can adapt to it, those who change quickly, stay and enter the Jiangning battalion and become officers at the grassroots level, those who can't adapt to it, and those who still think about the court in their minds will be sent away and go with them wherever they go. Don't stay in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou.
The sergeants stationed in Xuanzhou are still more than 1,000 people, and there is no need for more people.
The 30,000-strong army entered Dengzhou and other places, and some of the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Dengzhou were transferred to Fuzhou and Gaizhou, and some took warships and secretly entered Quanzhou to carry out special orders.
During this period, those low-level officers who supported Wu Sangui were also taken seriously, and their names were recorded one by one, and they did not need to be trained, and they could directly serve as low-level officers.
Qu Qingze only stayed in Xuanzhou for two days and got everything done, in fact, it can't be said that Qu Qingze did it, but Wu Sangui had already prepared everything.
Qu Qingze didn't make a wish to Wu Sangui, but just told Wu Sangui that Master Su was waiting in the Governor's Mansion and he would truthfully report what happened in Xuanzhou, as for how to arrange it in the future, it was something that needed to be decided by Lord Su.
Wu Sangui is very low-key, saying that the biggest credit is still the Qu people, in fact, Wu Sangui is very happy in his heart, his prediction is very accurate, sure enough, Qu Qingze came to Xuanzhou, Qu Qingze's position in Su Tiancheng's mind, and his position in the Jiangning camp are very prominent, and his modesty today indicates that the future will be prosperous.
