Chapter 601 It's up to you
In this situation, Zhang Jiuyan felt at a loss, so he went straight to order the army to gather in Shanhaiguan.
He also set out directly and rushed to Shanhaiguan.
Zhang Jiuyan took Liu Zongmin, Gao Jie, He Renlong, Cao Wenzhao and others, and a 30,000 elite army drawn from various places, and went directly up from the Great Wall.
The army rushed along the Great Wall.
Along the way, border troops and guards from all over the country were ordered to join, and the marching team became larger and larger.
When Zhang Jiuyan arrived at Shanhaiguan, there was already an army of more than 100,000 under his command, and there were more and more troops on the way.
"Li Yutian, the governor of Liaodong in Xiaguan, pay homage to the Lord."
"At the end, General Wu Xiang, General of Shanhaiguan, pay homage to the Grand Marshal."
"The last general of Jinzhou General Zu Dashou, pay homage to the Lord.",,,
When Zhang Jiuyan arrived at Shanhaiguan, a group of civil and military officials bowed together to greet Zhang Jiuyan.
Zhang Jiuyan looked over one by one, but when he saw this, there was a different meaning in Zhang Jiuyan's eyes.
It is normal for Liaodong Governor Li Yutian and Shanhaiguan General Wu Xiang to appear here.
But Zu Dashou, the general of Jinzhou, also appeared here, which is a bit intriguing.
You should know that he is the general of Jinzhou, and Jinzhou is the frontier for guarding the Tartars. As the highest local general, Zu Dashou has the responsibility to defend the territory, so he cannot leave half a step at will.
Once the Tartars attack while he left, who can bear the responsibility?
"Please get up."
Zhang Jiuyan raised his hand to help everyone up, and Zhang Jiuyan asked Zu Dashou, "General Zu, I did not transfer you to Shanhaiguan to meet you. Could it be that the emperor announced you?"
Zu Dashou was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Jiuyan to ask this. He looked nervous and terrified, knelt on one knee and said:
"Reply to Dashuai, in the end, Shanhaiguan is to visit my sister in the future. This is a coincidence that he meets Dashuai. Please forgive me."
Zu Dashou's sister married Wu Xiang and gave birth to Wu Sangui. The alliance between the two families also led to the entire Liaodong military affairs being controlled by them.
It is no exaggeration to say that here, what the two families said is more effective than the imperial edict of Emperor Chongzhen.
It is almost a very difficult, or even an impossible thing to accomplish if a warrior wants to be promoted.
Because the two families have already controlled almost all important positions, thousands of households and above, either their tribe members or their confidants.
So Zu Kuan, a servant in Zu Dashou's family, also became a general.
This shows that the two families Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang have the power in Liaodong.
Seeing Zhang Jiuyan talking to Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang immediately knelt down and said:
"Master, General Zu's sister is the last general, who is weak and sick. General Zu is very concerned, so please understand."
Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang knelt down, and immediately knelt down in large areas.
This scene is said to apologize to Zhang Jiuyan, but isn’t it a demonstration against Zhang Jiuyan?
Zhang Jiuyan looked at them with bright eyes, and his face gradually sank.
In this situation, Governor Li Yutian was so scared that he was worried that both sides would take action. If that was the case, the consequences would be unpredictable.
If you really want to take action, Wu Xiangzu Dashou, as a local tyrant who has been entrenched in Liaodong for many years, maybe the marshal Zhang Jiuyan, might die here.
Not daring to neglect, Li Yutian quickly came out to smooth things over, said good things, and tried his best to invite Zhang Jiuyan to enter Guancheng to have a prepared welcome banquet.
After hearing Li Yutian's words, Zhang Jiuyan said nothing, and did not hit the smiley person. Li Yutian still had to give him face.
This person was a loyal minister who died for the Ming Dynasty in history, and Zhang Jiuyan also admired him.
However, I admire Li Yutian, but I cannot lose my face on such an occasion today. Otherwise, how can I calm them down in the future?
When they arrive at the battlefield, will they still listen to their orders?
Zhang Jiuyan said sternly to Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang and the others: "Since you think that kneeling down and apologizing can solve this problem, then you can kneel down,
Kneel until the time when I think I can atone for my sins, you will get up again."
After saying that, Zhang Jiuyan shook his hand and no longer cared about them. He led his people into Guancheng.
Liu Zongmin, Gao Jie, He Renlong, Cao Wenzhao and others followed in one after another.
Li Yutian was in a dilemma and finally had to chase Zhang Jiuyan.
"Zhang Jiuyan, you're too bullying."
Zu Dashou's face was gloomy, and he looked at Zhang Jiuyan's back, and his eyes also contained resentment.
Not only him, but Wu Xiang is also.
Wu Xiang said angrily: "This son is spoiled and domineering, how can the emperor give him a big deal?"
The two of them were angry, but the more the reason was that their little abacus was disrupted by Zhang Jiuyan.
This time, Zu Dashou appeared in Shanhaiguan because he was dissatisfied with Zhang Jiuyan.
Zu Dashou believed that Zhang Jiuyan was young and had such a high position. He devoted himself to the Ming Dynasty for most of his life and was still a general and had no place to reason.
In addition, he was worried that Zhang Jiuyan would be Zhao Kuo's rebirth, so he only knew that talking about war on paper would lead to a big mistake when he arrived on the battlefield.
So he came in person, thinking that he could slapped Zhang Jiuyan's aura.
Never thought that Zhang Jiuyan was so tough. Before he could take action to slam Zhang Jiuyan's aggression, Zhang Jiuyan first grabbed him and left his post to punish him.
Zu Dashou thought to himself that for the sake of the overall situation, he endured his breath and apologized to Zhang Jiuyan, but Zhang Jiuyan did not give him any face and did not care about the troops in his hands at all.
Isn't he afraid of himself?
He was very angry, but Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang and others did not dare to get up either.
Because once they get up, they will give Zhang Jiuyan an excuse. When Zhang Jiuyan tells the matter to Chongzhen, they will be untenable.
At that time, as long as they wanted to stay in the Ming Dynasty, they would accept more harsh punishments and be more angry.
In this way, in the city, Zhang Jiuyan, accompanied by Li Yutian and other personnel, happily ate wine and vegetables.
Wu Xiangzu Dashou and the others could only kneel at the city gate honestly.
Not only did they kneel sorely, but they also lost face. Not to mention how frustrated they were.
At this time, Wu Xiang's son Wu Sangui was still there. He heard that they were kneeling here and ran over.
Wu Sangui said to Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou: "Father, uncle, the general is not an ordinary person, and cannot be judged by ordinary people.
For the present plan, we can only ask Cao Wenzhao for help to ease the conflict.”
Although Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou were resentful and dissatisfied with Zhang Jiuyan,
But the senior official is one level and one level to kill people, not to mention that Zhang Jiuyan is not one level or two level older than them.
