Chapter 925: Dou Xian's plan
Qin Jin's face was gloomy, and although the iron-armored generals standing in front of him were very humble, there was always a hint of unruliness in his eyes. He deliberately dismantled and reorganized the Shence Army and Zuo Wuwei, eliminated redundant soldiers and those nepotism who did not meet the requirements, and then broke up and incorporated into the Shenwu Army.
But in the matter of cutting out redundant troops, he had to defeat the strong opposition of Shao Zhongzhuang, the main person in charge of the Shence Army at this time, and this person had a fairly cooperative attitude when he surrendered, but as he got closer and closer to Chang'an, he was somewhat exposed. However, the commander of the Ma army, who was in power with him, made Tang Xianxing easier to speak.
In addition, some soldiers of the Shence Army have also committed the taboo of the Shenwu Army in the past few days, that is, harassing the people along the way. In just the day and night of leaving Tongguan, Qin Jin had already received an accurate report, and the Shence Army and the remnants of Zuo Wuwei had a total of thirteen traitorous women, 29 murders, and countless looting of money.
This time, Qin Jin recruited Shao Zhongzhuang to ask him to severely punish these criminal soldiers who were verified, but after Shao Zhongzhuang read the list, he hoped that Qin Jin could spare a few of them and only kill some of them as a warning. If Shao Zhongzhuang's previous opposition to the reduction of redundant troops was due to the preservation of strength or not, at least it was a dispute of opinions, which was within the bottom line of Qin and Jin, and now he directly ignored the laws in the army issued by him, it has really touched his bottom line.
Due to Qin Jin's repeated emphasis and attention, a tradition and habit have long been formed in the Shenwu Army, that is, the punishment for committing anything without violating the laws of the army is even more terrifying. Because of this, the Shenwu Army ordered and forbade it, without dragging the mud and water, and now the Shence Army is only an armed force attached to the Shenwu Army. It has brought all kinds of visible and invisible troubles. At this time, an irrepressible killing intent had risen in his heart.
However, at this critical moment of counterattacking Chang'an, Qin Jin didn't want to kill the generals before the big battle, so he suppressed his anger and killing intent.
"No matter what the reason is, Qin Mou, anyone who violates the laws of the army must be punished according to the rules, there is no room for negotiation, I hope General Shao can recruit his subordinates to reiterate again. ”
Shao Zhongzhuang looked at Qin Jin and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, the last general will go back and emphasize it again, but the no one mentioned by the last general can't be killed no matter what......"
There is no other reason, because these people are the children of powerful families in the army, and if they are killed, it is equivalent to turning against those noble families. In these years, officials would rather offend the Son of Heaven than offend these powerful clans that are deeply rooted in the government and the opposition.
Shao Zhongzhuang's proposal was not only out of his own interests, but also a bit of a wake-up to Qin Jin. But Qin Jin from the first day of the establishment of the Shenwu Army, has not given anyone the opportunity to have privileges, in the Shenwu Army, Lang Jiang above the background from the famous family accounted for at least seventy percent, including Fan Yang Lu clan, Boling Cui clan such a super county family, not obediently obey the military law. How could he have spoiled a pot of soup with a few miscellaneous fish from the Divine Command Army?
"Qin Mou is just informing you now, the decision to kill or not to kill is decided by the long history of the army, but according to the laws they have committed, all of them are guilty of killing their heads!"
"This ...... Dr. Qin......"
Shao Zhongzhuang gasped, he couldn't imagine that Qin Jin's killing intent was so firm, and he wanted to bargain again, but he saw that Qin Jin had already turned over and walked away.
This was really a very irritating meeting, and the result was also unexpected by Shao Zhongzhuang, but he thought that Qin Jin still had a place to use himself, and it was not yet time to unload the mill and kill the donkey. Although at the beginning of his defection to the Shenwu Army, he was also trembling and uneasy, but with the further understanding of the Shenwu Army in the past few days, he discovered some things that he had not expected before. Originally, there were no more than 50,000 Shenwu troops available for Qin and Jin to deploy, and after removing the necessary men and horses to guard Tongguan, there were even less than 30,000 troops who could enter Chang'an.
No matter how powerful the Shenwu army is, no matter how invincible it is, with 30,000 people, it wants to capture Chang'an, which is high in the city and deep in the pool? It is simply a fool's dream, not to mention that at this time Chang'an is still occupied by the 200,000 Tubo army that is fierce and brave, even if Shang Xijie takes 50,000 people to attack Feng Yi County, Chang'an will have at least more than 100,000 people.
Even if Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army were covered in iron, how many nails could they hit? If they didn't get it right, they would have to be attacked by Shang Xijie of the forbidden army Feng Yi. Therefore, Qin Jin is now in great need of these more than 50,000 people of the Shence Army and Zuo Wuwei.
There is another reason why Shao Zhongzhuang has enough confidence to fight in front of Qin Jin, that is, Zuo Wuwei is actually dead now. This matter has to start from the fact that the Tubo people have just occupied Chang'an, Yu Chaoen used the power of the Tubo people to kill the courtiers and the Li Tang clan, and at least eighty percent of the Zuo Wuwei left by Li Fuguo was the object of his key care.
Almost all of the people above the Lang General were killed by Yu Chaoen in the name of rebellion, and the newly promoted were either former captains and brigade leaders, or former cronies transferred from the Shence Army. But people are not as good as heaven, Yu Chaoen was actually killed by the puppet son Li Chenghong in the Ten Kings' Mansion, and his head was hung in the East City, and in the name of eradicating traitors, he announced the officials and people of the government and the opposition, and ushered in the unanimous applause. The abusive Divine Strategies Army has changed from a powerful role to a street rat that everyone shouts and beats.
However, Li Chenghong only had time to kill a few of Yu Chaoen's hardcore cronies, and Ma Xiangzhong Bajie stopped it in time, otherwise with the relationship between Shao Zhongzhuang and Yu Chaoen, I am afraid that he would also be killed. However, the treatment of the Shence Army also plummeted, and it was soon further incorporated into the new annexed army by Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, ready to be sent to the battlefield to be used as human flesh.
Later, the development of the gaffe was even more twisted and turned, and seven days ago, Shao Zhongzhuang never dreamed that he would actually re-vote for the Tang Dynasty and become a subordinate of Qin and Jin. Now what the Shence Army and some of the Zuowu Guards are talking about, in addition to him, there is also Tang Xianxing, and Tang Xianxing is a good man, so it can be said that big and small matters can be decided by his words. This is the confidence that he dares to argue with Qin Jin.
However, even if he had such a sufficient confidence, Qin Jin still didn't give him the slightest face, everyone was arrested, and none of them were killed. Shao Zhongzhuang saw that Qin Jin was walking away under the protection of the pro-guard horse team, so he glared hatefully, and secretly ruthless in his heart, Qin Jin must have a place to use him, and at that time, don't blame the Shence army for disobeying the yang and yin, and even turning the knife and gun......
Qin Jin followed the group forward for about a mile, and then met Dou Jia, the central protector who had rushed over with the military officials.
Dou Jia's heart was also very confused, he was just a small middle guard, how could he let the dignified Imperial Doctor personally summon him?
When he saw Dou Jia, the gloom on Qin Jin's face was swept away, and he dismounted again, pulling him side by side.
"I heard that you are the queen of the gate, and a certain person intends to support you as the master of the Divine Army, are you willing?"
"Huh?"
Dou Jia was stunned by Qin Jin's sudden words, and didn't know how to answer, even if he used to solicit again, according to the routine, didn't he have to talk a few words of gossip first, and then slowly lead to the main topic? This imperial historian looks similar to him, but he does things differently than ordinary people, no wonder he has become a high-ranking official, but he is still a small middle guard.
But Dou Jia is not a little person who has never seen the world, and the education and exposure he has received since he was a child have made him have a very decent instinct to deal with it.
"Thanks to the wrong love, although the last general is not talented, he is willing to serve the doctor! It can also be regarded as doing a part for the imperial court, so that the people can return to the former peaceful days as soon as possible and suffer less......
Qin Jin nodded, Dou Jia had already expressed his willingness when he turned around, in fact, only fools were unhappy. He was also a little angry by Shao Zhongzhuang's indiscretion, this Dou Jia is very comfortable whether he talks or has a face.
As early as the beginning of the Shence Army's surrender, Qin Jin studied almost all the generals above the rank of captain in the Shence Army. And these are not the point, the focus is on Dou Jia's background, his ancestor is the former Sui general Dou Yi, one of Dou Yi's daughters married Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, is the Empress Dou, Dou Jia Manmen has further become the Tang Dynasty's honorable relatives.
Although more than 100 years have passed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dou Jia has also had ups and downs in repeated political struggles, and his momentum has long been much worse than before, but these past qualifications and good reputation are the foundation that can be relied on.
Although Qin Jin disagreed with the world in which the gate valve was in power, if he wanted to get twice the result with half the effort in this environment, the best way was naturally to recruit these gate valve clan views to his command. Dou Jia, a broken relative, is his optimistic target.
However, after all, the previous understanding was based on what others said, and the impression obtained from meeting once was often inaccurate, so Qin Jin deliberately tested this person to see if he could be supported. At the very least, in response to the sudden problem, this person behaved fairly well and did not show a stupid side.
"Now that the Tubo people occupy Chang'an, if the imperial court wants to recover within the year, how sure do you think it is?"
Dou Jia thought for a moment and replied calmly:
"Since the doctor asked again, the last general said bluntly, the doctor seems to be walking leisurely in the army, but in fact, the troops are stretched, and the reason why he is not in a hurry to engage the Tubo people is waiting for them to make mistakes!"
In fact, Dou Jia's honest answer is risky, and ordinary people will never be blunt in this situation, but he just wants to gamble, and everyone will be happy if he wins, and there is nothing to lose if he loses. Of course, there is another factor that is also very important, he is really optimistic about Qin Jin, and feels that this person's future is by no means limited to this.
