Chapter 260 The Injustice of the Ancestors
The first to appear south of Jinzhou was the special corps of the emperor's personal army, which is Liu Zhaosun, who had just transferred from his father Liu Jing to his personal army and was reused.
The commander-in-chief of the Second Army, Li Yanzhao, gave Liu Zhaosun the order to enter Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, and take over the former Qiantun Guard of Guangning, Ningyuan Zhongyou, Zhonghou, Zhongqian, and Zhongqian three and the former Liaozhen guards near Jinzhou.
The specific order was that the special corps must control the Liaoxi Corridor within five days, make preparations before the exercise for the Imperial Army's Kanto exercise, and accept the food and weapons of the original garrisons on the spot, and concentrate the troops of the garrisons to rectify them.
"If there are people who resist or refuse to obey the local government, they can be punished by military orders in the yamen."
There was another command from the Second Army Command to Liu Zhaosun. When he saw this military order, Liu Zhaosun was really hesitant because if the military order was implemented, he would inevitably have a major conflict with some garrison generals in the western Liaoning Corridor.
When his father Liu Jing left, he told Zhao Sun that since Li Chengliang, Liao Town has actually formed an integral part of the upper and lower classes, which is called many generals. These so-called generals, fathers, brothers, and nephews are all in Liao Town, and their interests are rooted in the local area, which has long been the foundation of Liao Town.
Although the Li family has fallen, there are still many children of these Liaodong generals. Eunuch Wei replaced Liao Town with the imperial army, which will definitely infringe on the interests of these Liaodong generals, so the conflict between the two sides is inevitable.
It was just because Eunuch Wei was a great hero of Pingnu, the Imperial Army was strong in combat and supported by Yang Hao, the Liaodong generals, so the Liaodong generals could not have the courage to fight against Eunuch Wei when the main force was gone, but it is certain that this kind of lip service is erratic.
Seeing that Eunuch Wei was acting drastic and seemed unwilling to reach too much compromise with the generals of Liao Town, then the suppressed Liaodong generals would definitely rebound next.
Liu Jing was not sure about how much this rebound would lead to war. Therefore, he had to think carefully before recruiting Sun to do things.
"There are generals, except for Shijiao, such as Dongli, Xima, Tuda, Qi, Lu, Wang, Du, You, Xiao and other tribes. The family background is well-versed in military affairs, and they will be selected from it. My son will be the third generation of my Liu family. Since his grandfather, although he is not a general in the nine border areas, he is only in Changzhen, Sichuan, but his essence is the same. Therefore, my son should think more about everything."
The Tuda, Qi, Du and other tribes mentioned by Liu Jing are the nine generals of this dynasty. Among them, "Du" refers to the Du Song clan. Du Tong, the brother of Du Song, was the commander-in-chief, and was the commander-in-chief, and went to the general of the town, and served in Baoding and Ningxia. Tongzi Wenhuan, served in Ningxia, Yansui general. Wenhuan, the Hongyuan area, and went to the general of Ningxia.
However, these nine generals only had "Dong Li" in Liao Town. During this period, "Xima" had a town in Liaodong, but the time was very short. So strictly speaking, the so-called generals in Liaodong are actually continuations and branches of "Dong Li".
Not to mention Li Chengliang and his sons, he was his clan's younger brother Li Chengming, his nephew Li Rugeng, his son-in-law Han Zonggong, and Sun Shoulian, who was once a servant of the Li family, are now officials in Liaodong. There are also second-level generals such as Wu, He, You, and Cao around the Li family.
Liu Jing said this to Zhao Sun, which was actually to remind this reckless son to be more cautious when doing things under Eunuch Wei.
It’s not that Liu Jing didn’t want to recruit Sun to serve in the Imperial Army, but that he hoped that he would know how to “stay a line in everything” when doing things.
Liu Zhen hoped that Zhaosun could make a name for himself under Eunuch Wei, but he did not hope that Zhaosun would become the knife to clean up the Liaodong generals.
In essence, his Liu family is actually a general.
Liu Zhaosun thought about his father's words, but in the end he chose to execute the military order.
Because he was consistent with Eunuch Wei's view that the so-called generals and sects in Liao Town were useless and were already corrupt. He only knew that raising enemies was the priority and had long lost his original intention of defending the border for the country. Otherwise, how could he explain that the small Jianzhou in the past thirty years can grow step by step under the noses of so many generals and sects, and can openly confront the imperial court.
If it weren't for the so-called generals in Liaodong who deliberately raised tigers, how could tens of thousands of officers and soldiers be buried in Jianzhou? If it weren't for the emperor's personal military efforts to turn the tide, the tiger raised by Liaodong generals would have swallowed all these generals and sected long ago.
Eunuch Wei said it well, everything will be ruined and made great money. We are the Imperial Army, but we can only know the public. If you don’t sweep the decayed things, they will still be piled up there, and they will accumulate thicker and thicker. One day, the good house will become ragged.
Moreover, Eunuch Wei's plan is very good. Since there is no main force in Liao Town and the remaining garrisons are simply useless, they should give up their territory that they had been operating for decades, so that the imperial army that could fight more and defend their country would be more able to replace them.
In addition, although Liu Zhaosun was a martial artist, he was not stupid. He knew the court's suspicion of Eunuch Wei, as well as the relationship between Eunuch Wei and Concubine Zheng's family.
However, the more this happens, the more he wants to support Eunuch Wei.
After living for more than twenty years, Liu Zhaosun had never seen such a eunuch who could lead troops to fight, such an approachable eunuch, such a eunuch who loves the people as his son, such a heroic eunuch, such a eunuch who is dedicated to the country and the people, and such a eunuch who is willing to make the Ming Dynasty richer and stronger.
In this way, what are the concerns about Liu Zhaosun doing something for Eunuch Wei?
Liu Zhaosun directly led his troops into Jinzhou City. The generals of Guangning Guard in the city acted quite honestly when they saw the infantry and cavalry army outside the city.
This is mainly due to Zu Tianding, who followed Liu Jing to fight against Abu Daligang. Therefore, he knew the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army. After knowing that Eunuch Wei was going to rectify Liao Town, Zu Tianding wrote a letter to his nephew, Zu Dashou, who was a guerrilla, asked him not to boycott it.
Zu's family had a great influence in Jinzhou. Zu Dashou's grandfather Zuren was a general officer of the aid and suppression commander in Ningyuan. He was also a servant of Li Chengliang. Zu Dashou's father Zu Chengxun even followed Li Rusong to fight in Korea, and made great contributions with Ma Gui, becoming the deputy general of Liaodong.
It can be said that the Zu family is the largest general in Jinzhou, and Jinzhou is also the largest foundation of the Zu family.
Zu Tianding and Zu Dashou's attitudes directly affected the generals and sects in the Jinzhou area, making the imperial army's acceptance of Jinzhou a model for rectification in various places.
But for some reason, after receiving the specific process of receiving Jinzhou by the military police, Eunuch Wei seemed a little hostile to the young handsome Zu Dashou reported by the military police, and said casually to the left and right: "The Zu family is not a good family."
Song Xiance took this to heart and then created the "Niezi No. 2 Special Project", which actually made Zu Dashou one of the heads of the "anti-Wei Group" of the Liaodong generals, uprooted the Zu family and his in-laws Wu family, forcing Zu Tianding to retire from active service, and became a famous unjust case.
This case was rehabilitated until Song Xiance passed away. However, there were no generals and ancestral families in Liaodong at that time.
Song Xiance was also called an ambitious man at that time because of many special cases he launched. He said that he was a persecution maniac and liked to slander people the most.
