The dejected Dao Yan arranged some matters for Zhang Shimei and Zhu Shihong, and wrote a letter, asking them to pass it to the King of Yan, Zhu Di. Then, he followed the Monk Record Department and the envoy from the capital to the capital.
Zhang Shimei, Zhu Shihong, and the people from the King Yan Residence all felt immense pressure. If Dao Yan's departure was a thorn in Zhang Shimei's body, then the new army strategy implemented by Ping An and Sheng Yong on September 9th was an extremely sharp sword that pierced through Zhang Shimei's heart!
A fatal blow!
The details of the new army strategy were quickly spread to the King of Yan's residence and the three guards.
The three guards of the King of Yan cheered in unison. They were filled with joy. They all thought that the new Emperor Zhu Yunwen was a reborn parent and swore loyalty.
However, when it was noon, they realized that there was no meat in the food. The three guards of the King of Yan were unhappy. Why couldn't they carry out the new army plan on the first day?
The King of Yan's Left Guard, Thousand Households Zhou Duo, had always been arrogant and arrogant, running away from Beiping Prefecture. Today, seeing that such a great opportunity did not fall on his soldiers, he did not say anything. He called over a hundred people and went straight to the Yamen. Ping An and Sheng Yong had already received the news of the commotion outside, but they just ignored it.
Sheng Yong felt that the fire was not big enough, so he added a handful of dry wood and sent someone to spread the word: "The three guards of the King of Yan are not included in the new army policy and do not enjoy all the benefits.”
Zhou Duo couldn't take it anymore, and the soldiers behind him couldn't believe their ears either.
What did he mean?
I'm a soldier, and I eat the food of the imperial court. I work for the imperial court, but when it comes to the implementation of the new army strategy, you're kicking us away?
Why can't they give us such good treatment?
We are also soldiers of Great Ming, and we have the right to enjoy the new army policy!
Why not give it to us?
It was unfair!
Soldiers were full of vigor. Usually, they would smash the table and show their knives for a few wens. Now, it was not only for themselves, but also for their descendants. Wasn't Shihong anxious?
Zhou Duo and his men started to make a ruckus, each and every one of them shouting so loudly that it made people uneasy. Ping 'an could not stand those who cursed, so he directly ordered the arrest of Zhou Duo and more than 120 people, all tied up at the entrance of the yamen.
More and more people came to watch the show, and the commotion became louder and louder.
King Yan's estate.
Zhang Shimei, Zhu Shihong, Yuan Rong, and Li Rang were discussing how to deal with the new army. Before they could come up with a plan to block the news, the guard hurriedly reported,"Not good, Qianhu Zhou Duo brought people to the governor's yamen and was captured by the governor.”
"What?"
Zhang Shimei's face darkened.
Zhou Duo was Zhang Shimei's subordinate. Zhang Shimei knew that this person was an ordinary man with no brains, but he was brave and loyal, so she entrusted him with an important task. She did not expect this guy to actually cause trouble for her at this time.
"After Zhou Duo's subordinates heard this, another five hundred people went to the yamen to request for Lord Zhou Duo's release.”
The guard continued to report.
Zhang Shimei felt a chill run down her spine.
Zhou Duo had brought a few people to cause trouble. If he was arrested, it would not be difficult to solve the problem. If a few hundred people attacked the governor's yamen, the governor would have every reason to kill everyone.
What made Zhang Shimei feel the most uneasy was that it was the three guards of the King of Yan who attacked the Yamen!
If the Commander-in-Chief judged that the three guards of the King of Yan had the intention to rebel and mobilized the army to destroy the three guards, no one could say anything. Even if this matter reached the ears of the other vassal kings, no one would sympathize.
This was because attacking the government office was a rebellion!
There's no room for negotiation if I kill you!
"Prepare the horses, quick!"
Zhang Shimei knew how serious the problem was. If she was not careful, the three guards of the King of Yan would be destroyed! Without the King of Yan's three guards, what right did the King of Yan have to establish himself in Beiping Prefecture?
Zhang Shimei and Zhu Shihong hurriedly left the residence of King Yan, while Yuan Rong and Li Rang ran down to the backyard of the residence to discuss countermeasures with Xu Yihua.
Ping An and Sheng Yong stood outside the yamen. Hundreds of soldiers armed with long spears and long knives stood guard outside the yamen in the shape of a crescent moon. There were even archers on high ground, nocking arrows and aiming at the Left Guard of the King of Yan who had come to cause trouble.
The strategy of the new army won over the hearts of the people.
At this moment, Ping An and Sheng Yong had already gained the trust of the entire army. In addition to the fourth rule of the new army strategy, anyone who obeyed orders without delay, executed them effectively, and made contributions could be promoted to a hundred households.
Who didn't want to be promoted?
Who wanted to be a soldier forever?
As long as Ping An gave the order, all the soldiers would charge forward fearlessly to prove their loyalty to the court and their support for the new army!
As for whether these people were his old friends or not, it was no longer important.
It was a soldier's duty to obey orders!
The King of Yan's Left Guard, Thousand Households Yu Qiong, led his men to the entrance of the Military Governor's Office. Looking at the situation around him, he could not help but take a deep breath. Why did it seem like they wanted to kill someone?
Yu Qiong wasn't a fool. He couldn't defeat the people of the Military Governor with just a few people. They had already prepared a rain of spears and arrows, yet they still barged in. They were simply courting death.
"Put down your weapons and don't mess around!”
Yu Qiong ordered.
After hearing this, everyone threw their weapons on the ground.
Yu Qiong led the centurion Ni Qiong and the others forward. They stood outside the spear forest and shouted to Ping An and Sheng Yong,""Lord Commandant, Lord Commander Shi, Zhou Duo is just asking why there are no three guards of the King of Yan in the new army. There is no need for such a formation, right?”
"Who are you?"
Sheng Yong shouted.
"I'm Zhao Zhao, the left guard of the King of Yan!”"Men, tie him up!"
With Sheng Yong's order, more than ten soldiers stepped forward and pressed Zhao Zhao to the ground, tying him up. The centurions at the side did not run away, and the soldiers behind him became anxious when they saw this.
If the bosses were captured and the kids didn't go up, how could they stand in the future?
Charge!
Save the Centurion Lord and the Thousand Lord!
Just as the soldiers were about to make a move, Zhang Shimei and Zhu Shihong finally arrived. Zhang Shimei whipped the soldiers who were blocking the way to the side and shouted,"Left Guard, you dare to go out without asking for permission? Who gave you the confidence? Where is this? Is this the Yamen of the Governor? Is this where you Shihong came from? Get back!"
Zhang Shimei was the number one general under Zhu Di. She loved her soldiers and had a high prestige in the army.
In the past, as long as Zhang Shimei said the word, everyone would charge into the enemy line and die on the battlefield without a second thought. But today, these soldiers did not want to leave!
"Lord Zhang, we want a new army strategy!”
"That's right. Lord Zhou and Lord Yu were arrested because they stood up for us!”
"The Imperial Court's new army strategy is to provide excellent soldiers. Why aren't we worthy of the new army strategy? It's not fair!"
"Yes, it's unfair! We are also soldiers of Great Ming!"
"Lord Zhang, please uphold justice for us!”
All the soldiers knelt down.
Zhang Shimei looked at the arrogant soldier kneeling in front of her, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
The strategy of the new army was related to the soldiers themselves, their families, and their descendants. Today, they knelt down not only for themselves, but also for their families and descendants!
Zhang Shimei knew the power of the new army strategy. It was Shihong who had turned the soldiers who had originally submitted to the vassal kings into soldiers of the imperial court!
If Zhu Di wanted to gain power in the future and target the imperial court, these soldiers would not listen to him!
Why?
Because Zhu Di wouldn't care about their descendants for four generations!
Because Zhu Di would not give them such generous retirement conditions!
Because Zhu Di couldn't afford to treat their families!
Because if they died, Zhu Di wouldn't be able to take out so much money to compensate them.
