Chapter 559 Charm
They set out from the capital in the middle of the first lunar month.
The accompanying was Yu Qilin Huo Fei, who drew 100,000 troops from Xidaying to help the northwest, as well as Liang Chaoyun and Zhao Xi, the adopted daughter of King Suzaku. Liang Chaoyun gathered 300 military doctors, and Zhao Xi specifically protected these doctors.
The loyal and brave general Zhao Ziyi took over the defense of the capital; the White Tiger King Zheng Ji was in charge of the arms development base in the suburbs of Beijing, and made every effort to supervise the construction of arms weapons and support the northern border; Xie Yaohui led all civil and military officials to handle the government affairs and calm the people's hearts. The six ministries were busy day and night, and worked hard to transport food, grass and arms to the northern border.
New Year and new chapter!
Vientiane updates!
When the army set off, 100,000 soldiers were in the Xidaying Schoolyard in the suburbs of Beijing. In addition, there were 100 giant trucks, which were not needed to be pulled by horses. The front of the truck was covered with a layer of carapace, painted with black paint, and a dark luster. The cargo box was super large and the freight volume could be loaded with ten carriages. Wang He named it: Motor Vehicle.
This is different from the horse-drawn carriage driven by animal power.
These hundred cars were loaded with food.
Because the third workshop was blown up by Li Hanyao, the motor vehicles supervised by Cui Hua were destroyed by artillery fire, and only a few survived. Fortunately, most of the parts of the motorcycle were built by the second workshop, and there was still a lot of inventory in the warehouse of the second workshop. The White Tiger King ordered the entire base to work day and night. All workshops cooperated with each other and only 100 vehicles were built and put into use first. He was still supervising the construction with all his strength.
Old Master Jiang made an indelible contribution to this matter.
This time he went to Northern Xinjiang, he also accompanied him, one to prevent the motor vehicle from failing on the road so that he could repair it at any time; the other to prevent him, he deceived them like he did when he deceived Cui Hua and tampered with the motor vehicle.
In other words, he is equal to a hostage.
However, Mr. Jiang had no sense of being a hostage and was very excited to be able to go to northern Xinjiang to participate in the war. His injuries were healed, and he squeezed into the first car with great enthusiasm and sat in the front of the car, full of energy.
The troops were also full of enthusiasm.
Today is the New Year's Day, and it was a reunion day, but they wanted to part with their families. However, they were not sad and full of passion!
Seeing that his morale was like a rainbow, Wang He was very satisfied. He led the crowd to stay overnight at dawn and rushed to Lingyun Pass in one go, but learned about bad news: the food and grass transported to the northwest was burned.
This is the military ration raised from the traditional Chinese tradition.
At that time, King Suzaku issued a death order to threaten Jianfan: If he dared to shorten military rations, the Zhuque royal family would definitely destroy him! Jianfan was afraid, and in order to ensure the smooth flow of military supplies, he and Yin Heng killed a group of corrupt officials. This was better. However, the military rations were transported from the capital to Fengzhou. It was safe and sound, and something happened just after passing Lingyun Pass.
The guardian of Lingyun Pass, Yu Lian, was extremely frightened and wished he could apologize for his death.
Wang He did not take his anger on him.
Yu Lian had been under the command of King Xuanwu and King Zhuque. He always adhered to neutrality and did not participate in party struggles in the court, so he was quite trusted by the deposed emperor. He was a rude person and would never ignore the soldiers of the border and burn food and grass.
Wang He personally investigated the matter.
The case is not complicated, and he is the smartest and keenest. After asking the relevant person, it was found that the murderer was the captain of the 100-man team, named Wei Cong, and Yu Lian's subordinate. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Yu Lian sent them to escort the grain transport team out of seclusion, he took action last night, and two other imperial guards were accomplices.
The evidence was conclusive, Yu Lian was shocked and asked Wei Cong why he wanted to burn food and grass.
Wei Cong was the cousin-in-law of Jiang Yu, the former Minister of Personnel. During the Imperial City Mutiny, Jiang Yu was loyal to the deposed emperor and was driven home by Wang He. But this relationship could not be a reason for him to burn food and grass. The wealthy families in the capital were mixed, and such relatives were too common. The Wang family and the royal family were still relatives, and even the princess was married; the Xuanwu royal family was the same, and the Zhuque royal family was also.
Wei Cong looked at Wang He and said righteously: "Everyone can punish him! His subordinates died for Dajing, but he has no regrets!"
Yu Lian: “…”
Wang He stared at Wei Cong with a deep look. Just when Yu Lian and Wei Cong thought he was going to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, he asked Yu Lian to summon tens of thousands of soldiers in Lingyun Pass to gather at the school grounds, saying that he wanted to announce the case in public.
Yu Lian had to obey his orders.
In a moment, the troops were assembled.
Wang He stood on the high platform, with silver-gray brocade robe, wide sleeves and flowing clouds, and was handsome. Zhang Jinyan was on the left and Huo Fei was on the right, all of whom were heroic and brave. Facing tens of thousands of soldiers, Wang He asked loudly: "If anyone ignores the lives of you innocent soldiers and cuts off your food and supplies in order to deal with them, may you spare him?"
Yu Lian said angrily: "Don't forgive me!"
The soldiers roared, "Don't forgive me!"
Wang He asked again: "Would Wei Cong be killed?"
Yu Lian cut off and said, "It's time to kill!"
He could not favor personal gain, nor could he agree with Wei Cong's behavior of disregarding the overall situation.
The soldiers roared, "It's time to kill!"
Wang He waited for the roar to stop, then raised his voice and said sternly: "I have my own opinion on Zhongyi: If someone ignores the lives of thousands of soldiers and the people of the world, I will kill them. Even if he is the emperor, I will definitely do the opposite! Even if his parents act like this, Zhongyigong act like this, and Cui Xiang of the Golden Palace is still doing this. Xie Xiang, Xuanwu King, Zhuque King, White Tiger King, and General Zhenyuan all act like this. What about you?"
He did not quote "loyalty and righteousness" in a wide range of ways, and these noble and powerful soldiers could not listen to those profound and grand theories; he used them as examples and put them into the game, no longer bystanders, but a choice of fate that shared weal and woe, so he quickly and ruthlessly made them see the reality clearly and felt deeply painful.
Be loyal to the people first!
Loyalty, then loyal to the country!
Loyalty, then loyal to the king!
The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least important!
Easy to understand.
Simple and clear.
As he listed one by one, thousands of soldiers felt their blood boiling, and they couldn't help but burst out and vent. However, one of them responded faster than them. Yu Lian clashed with Wang He and Zhang Jinyan knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "I wish to follow the prince and the prince to the death and drive away the enemy in Anguo!"
At this moment, the "loyalty and righteousness" problem that had troubled him in the past suddenly became clear. No, there was no dilemma. It was because he was confused and failed to recognize his heart, so he struggled and suffered in a cocoon.
Now, he made a choice.
Zhang Jinyan hurriedly helped him up.
Wang He said: "The general is wise."
Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers on the school ground, suddenly a roar like thunder broke out, "On the contrary! On the contrary! Kill it! Kill it!"
His voice broke.
Eyes are bloodshot.
Anger destroys everything.
Huo Fei looked at Wang He silently. In addition to admiration, there was also a sense of enthusiasm in his eyes - he was also inspired to be passionate.
Outside the school ground wall, Mrs. Yu was accompanying Liang Chaoyun and Zhao Xi, watching the situation inside the school ground through the diamond window of the wall. There was also a gentle and quiet girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, Yu Lian's daughter Yu Yue.
Yu Yue stared at the platform with her eyes bright.
On the high platform, Wang He and other soldiers were quiet and said to Yu Lian: "He is a general's subordinate, so the general will deal with it according to military law. Let's serve as a warning!"
Yu Liankengran said: "Yes!"
He did not call the sergeant to the executioner, but actually took the initiative and killed Wei Cong and his two accomplices in public to show his determination and position.
This move sparked a lot of praise again.
A real man has a clear distinction between right and wrong!
After the scattering, when he returned to the inn, Wang He reversed his previous calmness and said to Zhang Jinyan and Huo Fei with a serious expression: "The Suzaku King is in danger. - No, the Xuanwu King is in danger. The northern border is in danger!"
