I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"Whoever disobeys the military orders, speaks falsely about advancing and retreating, and deceives the soldiers, this governor will wield Shangfang Sword, behead his dog's head, and pass on to the three armies!"

"Do you understand?"

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly said in unison:

"I will follow the order of the supervisor."

Chapter 515 My fellow, I will borrow your head

"Each battalion will set up a new supervising team, and the superintendent will personally select the candidates for the supervising officer."

"This superintendent team has the power of life and death in wartime. The generals are the first to flee and can be killed. The soldiers turn around and walk away. They can be killed. It is me, the supervisor, who can be killed as well."

Sun Chuanting looked around at the generals and said:

"Datong Commander Zhang Wanbang!"

Zhang Wanbang came out and shouted: "The end is here!"

"I ordered you to check all the troops that arrived in five days. Those who did not come will be regarded as violating military regulations. The governor will punish them severely."

If it is said that Sun Chuanting's promulgation of military regulations with full confidence before made the generals dizzy, but now the statement that they will not be severely punished if they are overdue is really unacceptable to them.

"If you fail to meet the deadline, you will be fined heavily?"

"How heavy is the punishment? It won't be beheading!"

"Nonsense, if Jiang Shuai didn't arrive, he would behead him too? He wouldn't dare to lend him two bills!"

Discussions started immediately below, but Sun Chuanting didn't speak, just stood on the top and watched quietly, it was Zhang Wanbang who turned around and stared at him, and then stopped.

In fact, this is also an unwritten rule in the military circles of the Ming Dynasty.

Sometimes, the boundaries of military regulations are very vague. This kind of specified date is generally equivalent to a notice telling you to arrive within a few days, but it is not a mandatory requirement.

Zhu Xieyuan was not in a hurry at the time, and waited for more than ten days before the soldiers and horses from the seven towns were all in place, and nothing was said afterwards.

Now that Sun Chuanting wanted to use a chicken feather as an arrow to play this game, the general who was already dissatisfied with him couldn't restrain himself for a while.

He Renlong yelled from below: "Master Supervisor!"

"Do you think this is your 5000-strong Qin army? Among the generals in Jifu, who doesn't have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under their command, how can it be easy to mobilize them?"

After He Renlong finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.

"Even during the battle in Liaodong, the supervisor at that time did not say that everyone must arrive on the deadline. Are you a bit too strict?"

Sun Chuanting didn't speak until he heard this sentence.

"This governor is not Zhu Xieyuan!"

"The governor leads the army, and there are the rules of the governor. How can this battle be trifling? Chahar's troops have already sent troops to the left, and every day is a fighter!"

"Even me, a supervisor who was born in Wenju, understands the fact that victories are fleeting. Don't you, a general who leads troops all the time, don't know?"

The stern refutation didn't know whether it frightened the generals or made them speechless, anyway, no one said a word.

Zhang Wanbang stood up at this time and said with a smile:

"Calm down, the supervisor. The date is indeed too tight. It will take time for the local garrison to assemble. It will take time to mobilize the customs and get familiar with the generals."

"The final general feels that all troops and horses will be there in five days."

Sun Chuanting looked at him coldly and said:

"It's better!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving a group of generals looking at each other in blank dismay.

……

In the next few days, soldiers and horses from all walks of life in Datong town gathered.

I don't know if Sun Chuanting's order had an effect, the soldiers from all walks of life came much faster than the last Liaodong war.

In addition to He Renlong's Shanxi soldiers and horses, the three guards of Tongzhou in Jifu, Zhending, Baoding, and the three towns of Xuanfu, Miyun, and Yulin all arrived one after another within three days.

When the deadline for the fifth day came, only one of the soldiers who were going to leave the customs this time, Ji Town, had not yet arrived.

At this time, the soldiers and horses of Jizhen had just reached Weizhou, a hundred miles away from Datong Town, and their marching speed was extremely slow.

In the last Liaodong War, Wang Wei, the chief soldier of Jizhou, died in battle. In the end, Wang Bao, the deputy chief soldier of his clan, took over the post of chief soldier of Jizhou.

Wang Bao was also a general of the Wang family, but his general style is completely different from that of his brother Wang Wei.

Everyone in the Jizhou army knew that Wang Bao was not only bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, but also rejoicing in his achievements, and often scolded the soldiers and embezzled the military pay.

Earlier, Wang Wei was still in charge. After Wang Wei died in the battle, he took over the post of chief military officer.

Hearing that the imperial court sent a little-known person to be the supervisor, Wang Bao felt very relieved.

The reason for the relaxation is naturally that he doesn't care much about Sun Chuanting, the supervisor, and he doesn't think he is a capable person.

After this relaxation, Wang Bao's supervision and management of his troops became much more sluggish.

Along the way, Jizhou soldiers and horses fled hundreds of people, not only the marching speed was not as fast as the rest of the soldiers and horses, but even the military discipline began to deteriorate day by day.

In fact, to say that the military discipline of the Jizhou Army was corrupt, it started when Wang Bao took over.

When Wang Wei was the commander-in-chief, the Jizhou Army was still an elite force capable of fighting Jiannu head-on in the field. Wang Bao had taken over for less than a year, and already had a completely new look.

It's just that this new look is not developing in a good direction.

Wang Wei died in the battle of Liaodong, and most of Jizhou's most capable soldiers and horses were buried in that battle, and most of the remaining soldiers were recruits, with few veterans.

Coupled with Wang Bao's embezzlement of military pay, robbing people's wealth, and negligence in governing the army, the military discipline of the Jizhou army began to deteriorate day by day, and the resentment towards him became deeper and deeper.

One year later, Jizhou was no longer able to fight as an elite out of customs, which Zhu Youxiao didn't know about.

After all, there are too many things in the world, and it is impossible to keep an eye on everything.

"When is it?"

Wang Bao was riding on a horse, blocking the very big sun with his fingers, and questioning his servants.

The servant replied, "Marshal, it's the nineteenth day of July."

Wang Bao was startled when he heard the news, recalled Sun Chuanting's military regulations, and subconsciously said:

"This is the date of Sun Chuanting's order to join forces. Where have we been? Have we entered the territory of Datong?"

Jia Ding replied: "It's in the territory of Datong. I just arrived in Weizhou. It's still a hundred miles away from the town. It will take at least a few days to arrive."

Wang Bao was taken aback for a moment, and then he turned his heart away.

"Send an order to order the troops to set up camp in Yuzhou and suppress the bandits!"

Anyway, it was already too late, and I would be punished if I went now, and my family should not be the one who missed the deadline. This military regulation is mostly just talk.

Even if it is his own family, what would Sun Chuanting dare to do to him?

I am the commander-in-chief of Jizhou Town on the Nine Sides. In today's world, only Emperor Tianqi has the power of life and death over him. Although his Sun Chuanting has Shangfang's sword, what kind of onion is he?

As for suppressing the bandits, it was Wang Bao's brainstorming, just an excuse.

Weizhou is under the jurisdiction of Xu Shouhui, the deputy general of Datong, and the bandits have already been wiped out. As for the suppression of bandits, it is Wang Bao who has made a fool of himself.

That night, in the territory of Weizhou.

At the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain, there were wisps of smoke rising from the kitchen, but when the local people buried their pots for cooking, the whole family was happily sitting together, eating a hot meal.

"Run!"

"Officers and soldiers killed!"

"The officers and soldiers actually killed people!!"

Suddenly, the neighbors shouted in horror. The man looked puzzled, and came to the door with the rice bowl he had just eaten, and saw a scene he would never forget in his life.

The officers and soldiers who were supposed to protect them were surrounding the mountain from all directions.

This group of officers and soldiers could not be seen as local officers and soldiers. After entering the mountain, they killed and cut everyone they saw. In addition, Jizhou had already changed into new-style armor. On the way to escape.

Soon, blood flowed down Jiaoshan River.

Wang Bao was riding a horse, holding a bloody long knife, looking at the hundreds of human heads under his feet, and smiled coldly:

"Cut off the head and take it to the town to report to the supervisor!"

"At that time, I will say that there are many bandits in the area of ​​Weizhou, so the trip was delayed, so it was not overdue. I don't think Sun Chuanting will say anything more."

Chapter 516 Killing the Good

Outside the town of Datong, in the camp of the officers and soldiers, banners and flags were fluttering, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses who were about to go out to fight gathered here.

Said that there is no risk of enemy attack now, Sun Chuanting still adopts the most cautious method to camp, just to give these arrogant generals an attitude.

After the promulgation of the military regulations, rumors arose among the officers and soldiers.

Some said that Sun Chuanting abused his power relying on the trust of Emperor Tianqi, and some said that Sun Chuanting was really looking for trouble for nothing, and took chicken feathers as an arrow.

However, Sun Chuanting was not an empty-headed supervisor after all, and the [-] Qin army with strict military discipline under him still made his words convincing quickly.

The training of each battalion has also resumed as usual. At least for now, the impact is good.

Despite the dissatisfaction in their hearts, few of these elite generals dared to challenge Sun Dushi, who was summoned by the emperor's platform and bestowed the sword on Shang Fang.

Now is not the reign of Chongzhen, the power in the hands of the supervisor is still very large.

As the deadline approached, soldiers and horses from Tongzhou Sanwei, Miyun, Baoding, Zhending and other places arrived as scheduled, and the camp became lively.

But there is a soldier who came late, it is Jizhou Town, one of the important towns on the nine borders, the chief soldier of Jizhou Town is not a general, the previous chief soldier Wang Wei is an ordinary person who started as a soldier.

His younger brother, Wang Bao, also followed Wang Wei all the way here, and with his brother's blessing, he became the deputy commander-in-chief. After Wang Wei died in Liaodong, Wang Bao was quickly promoted to the commander-in-chief.

The Ministry of War also considered that Wang Bao was Wang Wei's younger brother, and he would be very convincing if he continued to lead the Jizhou soldiers and horses, thus avoiding many unnecessary troubles when the new commander took office.

If nothing else happens, a brand new general of the Wang family will appear in Jizhou soon.

After all, Jizhou is one of the important towns in the Nine Frontiers, and the nine commanders in the Nine Frontiers all have high status in the military circles of the Ming Dynasty, and even ordinary local governors will not find trouble to manage them.

Many people thought that it seemed that Wang Bao, the newly appointed general officer of Jizhou, was going to meet Sun Chuanting, the newly appointed supervisor, for them.

"Five days have passed, why are there still no soldiers and horses from Jizhou?"

"I don't know, will Marshal Wang have any secrets?"

"Put it down, you still don't know the news about Jizhou? A relative of mine went to Jizhou this year to serve as a soldier, and he fled back after four months."

The rest of the people were from Miyun and Xuanfu respectively, they were all surprised when they heard the words, they hurriedly got together to gossip and tell what they heard.

"What's going on, isn't the imperial court not in arrears with the military's salary now, and the treatment is pretty good, how can you still be a deserter?"

"Cut, the imperial court is not in default, but Marshal Wang withheld it!"

"It's not just about deducting military pay. It is said that Marshal Wang will drink every three to five days and call some brothel girls to the barracks. When he gets drunk, he will often scold the sergeant in front of these women."

"exactly!"

Someone hurriedly shouted: "My relative was also beaten. Tell me, a man is a man, he stands up to the sky, and he came out to serve as a soldier to kill the enemy and serve the country. How many people can bear this humiliation?"

"Ah... so evil?"

"There are still many things you don't know. Jizhou soldiers have fled a lot in the past three months..."

Several officers and soldiers belonging to different generals were patrolling the camp wall. After all, there were no enemies coming, so they chatted together soon.

Sun Chuanting deliberately arranged these officers and soldiers from different places and belonged to different generals to practice, patrol, and do chores together on weekdays, in order to let them get acquainted as soon as possible. This is just one of the details of his leadership.

While chatting, a sharp-eyed man looked into the distance.

"Look, there is smoke and dust!"

"It's the Jizhou soldiers who have arrived, I'll report to the supervisor!"

……

In the distance, about three miles away, Jizhou soldiers and horses are leading by cavalry and marching in three rows of infantry.

Different from the atmosphere in the battalion where the battle was imminent, all the generals and ordinary soldiers here seemed very relaxed.

Wang Bao was riding on a horse, with three bloody heads hanging beside him.

"How many days is this?" He asked nonchalantly.
