Chapter 864

The general gate of western Liaoning was originally a local snake entrenched in this land. The so-called local snake, that is, it can do things on the ground. It's nothing if you leave here. That's why the imperial court took a simple and rough way, which made them angry.

But they know that once their main forces retreat, it will be difficult to come back.

Moreover, they all know that if they go directly to the battlefield and kill the enemy desperately, it will be difficult to ask the imperial court for all kinds of benefits.

Let's see what the imperial court has done to deal with Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou. It is simply to treat soldiers as beggars. They have to work hard in war. Whoever likes to work without money.

Moreover, on the land of western Liaoning, they are the kings who dominate. If they leave this land to go to Tianjin or Baoding, they are either the Minister of war or the governor general. They are just the material to give others shoes. Therefore, after receiving the imperial edict, Zu dashou came to Wu Xiang overnight.

As soon as the leaders of the two generals in western Liaoning discussed, they felt that this was a disorderly life and should not be obeyed.

Although Wu Xiang is usually a little counsellor, as the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, he is also a capable person. Once he withdraws from this land, he knows that they will face an unexpected fate.

Wu Xiang said, "we guard the taxi land, which has been handed down from generation to generation. The imperial court is not hurt to sell Ye Tian. After selling the land to jiansi, what face can we have to see our ancestors?"

As one of the leaders of the generals in western Liaoning, Zu dashou knew that this would cause great damage to the interests of the generals in western Liaoning. Once they withdrew to the mainland, they would be stray dogs. Just like the Liao people in southern Liaoning, when they went to Denglai and other places, they could only ask for food, but he didn't speak such righteous and tall words like Wu Xiang, After the other party said such words, he also felt it! That's it! As a soldier, he should stick to his territory for generations, rather than abandon the city and flee.

So the two generals sat down and after some secret discussion, they wrote a memorial and asked the court to take back the imperial edict. They said it was a mess of life and asked the court to take back the imperial edict.

Emperor Chongzhen is going all out to organize the war in Shandong. If he wins the war in Shandong, Daming can continue. If he loses the war, he has to go begging. In order to win the war in Shandong, he also shows his ability to press the bottom of the box. The army led by three generals Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang and Zhu Xieyuan is only the first wave, the army of important towns on the nine sides, plus guanning iron cavalry, Will form reinforcements and rush to support.

Who knows that Guan Ning, the main force of his expected reinforcements, refused to go after receiving the edict, which made him a little angry.

Zu dashou, general leader of western Liaoning, what is the position of the Zu family in the guanning army? Zu dashou's brothers Zu Dale, Zu Dacheng and Zu Dabi, and his nephews Zu Zeyuan, Zu Zepei, Zu Zesheng, Zu zefa, Zu Zerun and Zu Kefa are all officers at all levels from the general army to the deputy general, the general and the guerrilla. Zu dashou's father, Zu Chengxun, is called Shuangquan. He is the second son of Zu Ren, an officer in charge of the general army of suppression assistance who guarded Ningyuan during the Wanli period.

Moreover, Wu Sangui, the son of Wu Xiang, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, is Zu dashou's nephew. The most unusual thing that Zu dashou did was that yuan Chonghuan immediately ran away with people after being sent to prison by Chongzhen. Chongzhen had no choice but to ask yuan Chonghuan to write and ask Zu dashou to come back.

Moreover, after Zu dashou was demoted to the Qing Dynasty for the first time, Qiu Hejia, governor of Liaodong, participated in the imperial court. Zu dashou led a team to surrender to the city. Emperor Chongzhen not only did not condemn him, but promoted Zu dashou as the left governor and led Jinzhou. Emperor Chongzhen issued an imperial edict three times and ordered Zu dashou to come to Beijing for an audience. Zu dashou used an excuse to refuse and always adhered to Jinzhou City. It can be seen that the local forces in western Liaoning only recognize generals but not emperors.

For such people, the emperor has long tried to clean them up. However, there is no way for them. They hold together, support the soldiers and respect themselves. Is it difficult to send troops to catch them now?

Seeing that the other party refused to come, the emperor had no choice but to issue an imperial edict. The other party rewarded and promoted the other party's official. He hoped to send troops for the sake of the overall situation.

Since Zu dashou and Wu Xiang resisted the imperial edict, they knew that this matter could not be done well. The imperial court just wanted them to die and let them be cannon fodder. They could not leave the local area and face the attack of the imperial court at any time, so they began to order the army to mobilize.

But they also understand that in the current situation, the imperial court can't send troops to attack or destroy them. They can only let it go.

Zu dashou said, "how can we work for you in vain?"

Wu Xiang, another leader of Guan Ningjun, was also deeply convinced and nodded.

The general of western Liaoning is essentially the landlord group of western Liaoning. Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan really took great credit for feeding the warlords of western Liaoning. A large number of Liao salaries flowed into the army of western Liaoning. While doing business with JianNu, the general of western Liaoning drank soldiers' blood and Liao salaries happily.

Because they didn't want Liao's pay cut off, the generals in western Liaoning refused to go all out to eliminate JianNu, and even sold their teammates wildly in the battle of JianNu, which restrained those who really wanted to do things, advocated the playing method of left hand and right hand, with huge oil and water in the middle, forming a Liao's pay interest group.

They really don't have combat effectiveness? Like the battle of Ningyuan and the battle of Ningjin, JianNu forced them to rush. They can repel JianNu on the front battlefield, but they need to delay the war indefinitely.

And they all believed the old saying that the land lord had to stay in the land temple. What if the imperial court used force? They all disagree?

Can the current imperial court send 300000 troops to conquer them?

The only thing the imperial court can deal with them is to cut off their food and military pay supply.

The rapid rise and expansion of Guan Ning army is also due to the fact that the imperial court has sent a huge amount of Liao Xiang here every year since the establishment of Ning Jin defense line, which makes them earn a lot of money. Among so many armies in the country, only Guan Ning army has priority supply and no less pay.

Of course, since the rise of the Chinese army, their pay has also been deducted, which has aroused their great dissatisfaction. After causing their great dissatisfaction, the imperial court did not make an order to comfort or compensate. Instead, it asked them to let out their territory and work in the customs.

How can they promise? In western Liaoning, as the representative of the interests of local landlords, which family does not have thousands or tens of thousands of tenant farmers or tenants to cultivate land for them.

These people are soldiers when they go out and people when they enter. They were born in this place and grow up in this place. In this troubled world, they can get a peaceful place and let them out. Can't they go to other places to be beggars?

Zu dashou and others deceived their soldiers like this. The imperial court wanted to deceive everyone to beg. They quickly worked together and reached an agreement, that is, they decided not to obey the imperial edict.

However, the new Jiliao governor was very angry. No matter who took charge of the generals in western Liaoning, their heads were as big as a fight. The former sun Chengzong or yuan Chonghuan were kind to them for promotion. These people also heard a few words. When they came to the back, they could neither promote nor benefit. In addition to the relationship between the two sides, There's nothing else, so they don't bird you at all. The soldiers are in the hands of these generals. They don't bird you. You really have no way.

So no matter how the governor ordered Cui Chuan, they just refused to move. The imperial court had no choice but to urgently issue an imperial edict. Sun Chengzong, who was in Gaoyang, ordered him to go out of the mountain urgently to command this army and serve for the imperial court.

Now the imperial court, they all naively believe that sun Chengzong may be the only handsome man to move Guan Ning's iron cavalry.

In the eyes of the capital, they also heard the court's countermeasures, and they were terrified. If someone else came, they wouldn't have to worry about it. They wouldn't have to be afraid. It was because they were all their soldiers. They only listened to them, and no one else came.

But when sun Chengzong, the apocalyptic emperor, came, it was different. The Ningjin defense line was established by sun Chengzong at that time. Many people were promoted by him at that time and were grateful to them.

If such a person comes and directly bypasses these generals, it is estimated that he can also command the soldiers under his headquarters, which will panic them.

Wu Xiang hurried to Jinzhou to meet Zu dashou and discuss the countermeasures to this matter.

When Zu dashou heard such news, he was flustered by the fire in the small temple. If someone else came, he could not bird each other, but if sun Chengzong came, he really didn't dare to resist. He was not the old man's opponent. The other party's great prestige could eat it to death.

Zu dashou could only say, "you can't let Sun Ge come here. If he comes, there will be no place for us to live“

Wu Xiang's eyes flashed cold. He said, "just send troops, halfway..." he made a sweeping gesture.

Zu dashou said, "are you crazy? Old sun GE has the virtue of regeneration for us. Isn't it better for pigs and dogs to do such a thing?"

Wu Xiang said to him, "neither can this nor that. What do you say? Can Chengdu let us go to the pass to beg?"

Zu dashou is also having a headache. What should he do? They are the local snakes of this land. If they leave this land, they are nothing. They are not so much the Guan Ning army of the Ming Dynasty as the fan screen of the Ming Dynasty. They have survived between the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia and JianNu. Once they leave either side, they have no such nourishment in front of them , as for going to Guannei, it's even more like going to beg for food. It's no good. Zu dashou suddenly said, "since there's no way ahead, why don't we ask sun chuanting in southern Liaoning for help?"
