Bring the whole war back to Nanming

Chapter 105 Imperial Decree Releases Military Power

At the end of a battle, there are many things that need to be done, such as imprisoning soldiers, putting weapons and armor into storage, collecting money, rewarding and punishing subordinates, etc., all need to be personally interrogated by the commander.

As an excellent general in the era of cold weapons, Li Chengdong is very familiar with these things, and he managed things in an orderly manner in less than half a day.

As dusk approached, a group of cavalry appeared in the distance, led by He Tengjiao, the current governor of the two lakes. At this time, he looked a little embarrassed, and the speed of the horse under his crotch did not decrease, and he rushed towards the city gate.

The imperial soldiers guarding and maintaining order outside Xiangyin County don’t care who they are. In this three-acre area of ​​Xiangyin, they are coiled up by dragons and lie down on tigers!

"The people in front should dismount immediately! Otherwise we will shoot!"

The captain of the empire greeted the tower, and the musketeers beside the battlements unloaded their flintlock guns and looked at He Tengjiao with an unkind expression.

"I am He Tengjiao, the governor of the two lakes! Open the city gate quickly!"

I thought that revealing my identity would scare those Qiu Ba, but who would have thought that gunfire rang out from the battlements.A row of lead bullets accurately hit him 50 meters in front of him, splashing a cloud of dust. He hurriedly pulled up the reins and almost fell off the horse.

Standing still, the city gate guard shouted from a distance: "I don't care if you are an elector or a supervisor! Our army commander said that no one is allowed to enter the county seat on horseback!"

What the hell kind of rule is this?The dignified official of the frontier can't enter the city on horseback?
Fortunately, He Tengjiao can bear it, but his small intolerance will mess up his big plan. He also expects Master Wang to regain the two lakes for him, which makes the relationship too tense.

He got off his mount, led the horse, walked forward, and glanced meaningfully at the captain of the empire guarding the city gate: "What's your name?"

"Leave as soon as you want, there is so much nonsense, now I seriously suspect that you are a spy! See the army commander with me!"

Where is He Tengjiao the opponent of the captain of the empire, with a cry of surprise, he lifted it up like an eagle catching a chick.

"Hugh Injury Superintendent!"

The soldiers were so anxious that they drew their weapons and wanted to rescue them by force. "Let me just say that this guy is a spy. He has weapons hidden in his hands, and he has them all!"

He Tengjiao tried his best to wink at the soldiers, telling them not to act rashly, and said to the captain of the empire: "Little general, the old man will go with you, don't make things difficult for the brothers."

Seeing that he was subdued, the captain of the empire decided to do business, let go of He Tengjiao's collar and said: "Follow me, but the ugly words are up front. If I find out that you have any unruly intentions, I will kill each of you and leave no one behind!"

He Tengjiao nodded again and again, patted his chest to assure, just to be on the safe side, the captain of the empire tied their hands behind their backs and took them to the county government where Li Chengdong and Liu Zhaoji temporarily lived.

Outside the cold Xiangyin County Yamen Gate, a middle-aged man with a money rat tail and a blue official robe was tied to a cross. His lips were chapped, his eyes were dull, and he was drowsy.

He Tengjiao couldn't help but ask: "Little general, he is..."

"Oh, he, the barbarian city lord, I heard from the legion commander that he is a traitor who betrays his country and seeks glory, yes! He is as shameful as the pagans who betrayed the Church of Sigmar, so the legion commander ordered him to be tied to a cross as a warning to others. "

The imperial captain looked at the "heretic" tied to the cross with disgust, and led He Tengjiao straight into the county government office.

"Report to the head of the army! This person tried to break into the city gate, but he has been captured by our troops! Hand it over to the head of the army!"

He Tengjiao followed the eyes of the captain of the empire, and saw an eight-foot-tall man in military uniform with his back to the door, and the other man was concentrating on the military map hanging on the wall of the lobby.

"Since it's a thief who broke into the city gate, he should be pulled out and chopped down, so why should he inform me?"

"Marshal Li! This official is He Tengjiao, the governor of the two lakes appointed by the imperial court! You can't kill me!"

Governor He was anxious. If he was chopped into pieces by Qiu Bayi for no apparent reason, it would probably become the biggest joke in history.

Hearing the words He Tengjiao, Li Chengdong obviously paused, turned around slowly, and looked at He Tengjiao: he was dressed in a bright red official robe, carefully trimmed long beard, and his small eyes exuded the unique shrewdness of a businessman. The momentum is not obvious, but like an unscrupulous profiteer.

"Are you Mr. He? Do you have proof?"

Li Chengdong has probably recognized He Tengjiao's identity. To be on the safe side, he still has to show his ID.

He Tengjiao groped all over his body and finally found the jade plaque representing his identity on his waist, and quickly handed it over.Liu Zhaoji took a step forward, took the jade tablet, held it to his chest, and checked the jade tablet carefully with Li Chengdong.

"Tingzhen, the jade plaque is real, and your guess is accurate! He Tengjiao is here."

Liu Zhaoji whispered in Li Chengdong's ear, his tone a little excited.

"That's right, he's not good at leading soldiers in battle, he's very good at cheating and taking credit, hum! But now that Lord Marquis is in power, our military officer's status is not as inferior as his civil servant's."

The two murmured and discussed for a long time, then changed their smiling faces, and personally why Tengjiao untied him: "The flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't know the family. My lord, my subordinates have offended me so much. Please don't take it to heart." .”

Liu Zhaoji pretended to accompany him and lowered his posture, which made He Tengjiao's anger a lot lower.

"Those who don't know are not to blame. The two generals, Li and Liu, are cautious and careful, and the strict governor who governs the army admires him. If my military officers in the Ming Dynasty are half as good as the generals, why would half of the country fall into the hands of the Tartars!"

Li Chengdong and Liu Zhaoji were taken aback by He Tengjiao's heartbroken look.Naked flattery, civil servants are great, and compliments without compliments make people feel comfortable.

It's a pity that it is Lord Hou who supports us, not you He Tengjiao. If Lord Hou wants to control Huguang, you can't stay here.

Li Chengdong replied: "Master He is ridiculous, I just did my job. In fact, if Mr. He doesn't come, I'm going to find Mr. He."

He Tengjiao had a bad feeling: "What do you mean?"

He winked at Liu Zhaoji, who cupped his hands and walked to the back hall. After a while, a bright imperial edict appeared in his hand.

Li Chengdong took the imperial decree and looked at He Tengjiao, who was covered in cold sweat, with interest: "Governor He Tengjiao of Huguang listened to the decree! By heaven, the emperor ordered! Governor He Tengjiao of Huguang, who has been defeated repeatedly and fears the enemy like a tiger, should be dismissed from office and sent to prison. Now His Majesty is kind, thinking that he is old and can't bear to be imprisoned and miserable in his later years. Therefore, he was dismissed from the post of Governor of Huguang and transferred to the Minister of Rites of the Capital. His post will be taken over by Li Chengdong, the coach of Xizheng. After the handover, he can set off. Here it is!"

As if being hit hard, He Tengjiao knelt down on the ground with a thump, his face was defeated, his body couldn't stop shaking, and cold sweat dripped down on the ground: "This is not true. The old man has devoted his whole life to Daming, why did he end up like this! Hahaha!"

Liu Zhaoji and Li Chengdong looked at the increasingly crazier He Tengjiao with pity: If he was guilty, he was indeed guilty. The loss of the city, the loss of land, the unknown people, and the self-respect of the troops caused the corruption of the war between the two lakes.Although he was said to be innocent, he persisted in resisting the Tatar invasion, fought and failed, and never made peace to slow down the Tatar attack.

The Ming Dynasty specializes in producing such complicated people. The two men helped He Tengjiao up and persuaded him: "Sir, it would be a good thing to return to Nanjing. The war between the two lakes has left me unable to save the day. It is better to retreat bravely and assist Your Majesty in the court."

He Tengjiao opened his mouth, and the two of them leaned forward, but unexpectedly he passed out instantly.

"Quickly invite the doctor!"

　There are two days left in Total War Three Kingdoms!
