Chapter 362 The Heroine's Cannon Fodder Queen's Counterattack Plan 23
There was an uproar in the barracks, and Jia Commander was wearing armor and holding a spear, confronting Deputy General Yan and several other generals who were also wearing armor.
Gu Xiaoxiao took a cursory glance, and almost all of the generals in Northern Xinjiang who relied on disgraceful means to earn military merits had sent people over.
Today's events were definitely premeditated, if they hadn't been discussed, how could they rush up to the Beiguang Army camp to arrest the deserters.
"Your Highness."
Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao coming, Commander Jia's eyes lit up, and he bowed to the ground with a loud voice.
Several generals who came to make trouble, but they didn't expect the three princesses to come so quickly, and after hesitating, they followed and saluted, although their expressions were different, but they all showed a sense of indignation.
Gu Xiaoxiao quietly glanced at everyone, and motioned for Commander Jia to get up, walked a few steps forward, separated from the Zhongnin, and then stood up and asked: "Why is it so noisy, Deputy General Yan and Commander Cheng, you can deceive my Beiguang Army?" ”
As soon as her words came out, the Beiguang soldiers and soldiers hated the enemy and glared angrily at the outsiders.
In addition to the 3,000 soldiers from the Guangyao Army, most of the recruits came from the poor people of northern Xinjiang, who came from humble backgrounds to survive, so they came to join the army to make a living.
There were nearly 200,000 troops in northern Xinjiang, but the low-level soldiers in the army lived in hardship, their grain and grass were detained, their weapons were rotten, and there were countless casualties when they encountered barbarian invasions. They saw that the people above were corrupt, but they had to work the front line, and after their comrades sacrificed their lives for the country, the court's pension and wealth would be deducted, and they couldn't bear it for a long time.
When the Beiguang Army first recruited, they took a wait-and-see attitude, and more and more of their fellow villagers joined the army. Running to tell the Qingming of the Beiguang Army, His Royal Highness King Jing is approachable.
Although at the same time, they also complained that the training in the army was too harsh. Approximate ostentation of the weapons issued by the sharp armor heavy, how the boss ordered them to be carefully kept.
During the exercise, he was able to use a brand-new weapon, and he even had armor to wear! Their complaints have shaken those who are in the army who may be sacrificed as pawns at any time.
is also a soldier, why do others have a lot of weapons and food, but they have to be bullied and exploited by others.
At first it was just one or two people, then it was six, eight, ten. The left and right are all soldiers for the imperial court, and those people who are about to be conscripted into the army are under the propaganda of their fellow villagers and neighbors. They all set their eyes on the Beiguang Army.
The Beiguang Army continued to expand, and the remaining armies correspondingly lost a lot of troops. Without enough recruits, they could not declare new weapons and food, and without subsidies from the imperial court, their pockets could not bulge.
Harm vital interests. They couldn't sit still. But the Beiguang Army is subordinate to King Jing and is her private army, and they can't interfere if they want to.
It just so happened that later, some soldiers in the army envied the salary of the Beiguang Army, secretly took off their military uniforms, and ran to the Beiguang military camp to pretend to be a new soldier.
After this went on for some time, several generals united. I want to ask the commander-in-chief of the Beiguang Army for an explanation, and at the same time, I plan to take the opportunity to let King Jing stop.
They have been entrenched in northern Xinjiang for many years. In the past, there was endless competition for territory, but now the imperial court sent His Royal Highness King Jing to intervene and destroy the delicate balance they had reached before, so several forces wanted to join forces to make King Jing give up expansion.
Northern Xinjiang is cold and hard in the eyes of outsiders, but in their eyes it is a golden hen that lays eggs.
After going deep into the bureau, they found that the northern frontier was unfathomable, and if they were not careful, it would be an abyss. Either follow the peak, add officials to the knighthood, or be kicked out of the center of power.
From good to evil, they hardly struggled and chose a path that was beneficial to them. After a road to the dark, the conscience is gone, and after experiencing the glory and pleasure brought by power, no one wants to withdraw.
As a result, when newcomers came to northern Xinjiang, they bewitched people with easy minds to join the crowd, squeezing out and suppressing those who did not want to participate in it, such as everything others did to them back then.
The three princesses are an outlier, because the northern territory is sparsely populated and cold, so since the founding of Qingluo, it is rarely used as a fief for the princesses. Even if it is unfortunate to be divided into northern Xinjiang, few princesses really come to Yuecheng to become a vassal.
Several generals who regarded Northern Xinjiang as their bag did not expect that Emperor Qinghe would really send the three princesses to Northern Xinjiang, and they did not expect that she was not like a famous noblewoman, and she was not interested in poetry and books, but instead devoted herself to recruiting troops and horses for drills.
None of the three generals on the left and right had a clean buttocks, and after Yang Qiong came late, they deliberately snubbed her, wanting to give her a dismount and at the same time isolate her from military power.
They are all scheming, the three princesses did the opposite, they had no intention of bowing their heads at all, and based on the three thousand armor soldiers given by the saint, they expanded the army in their hands and developed at a very fast speed.
It was the previous secret rivalry that inspired today's school controversy.
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were slightly downcast, and her eyes swept over, waiting for a few people to answer.
Commander Jia stood behind King Jing and confronted Vice General Yan and others, his nerves tense, as if he was ready to draw his sword at any time and fight with the other party.
"Your Highness is healthy, and I dare not offend my humble position, but the state-owned country and the French army have military regulations, and today's left army, right army, and middle army all have different degrees of desertion. After the subordinates traced it, they found that these deserters actually ran to the Beiguang Army and changed their uniforms. ”
"What Vice General Yan said is that only when military discipline is strict can the world be peaceful, and the phenomenon of desertion is serious. Suspecting that the Beiguang Army deliberately shielded the deserters and provided them with shelter. ”
"Your Highness, you must keep your eyes open, don't be deceived by villains."
The three of them spoke one by one, Gu Xiaoxiao listened patiently, turned his face and asked Commander Jia: "Is what the generals said true, has the Beiguang Army sheltered deserters?" ”
Commander Jia's expression was grim, and he hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, your subordinates have been ordered to recruit soldiers, and the household registration documents are complete, and there are no deserters!" ”
One sentence made Vice General Yan and the others speechless, Gu Xiaoxiao sighed, and pretended to be puzzled: "Since a few people claim that there are deserters infiltrating the Northern Army, is there any evidence?" ”
To enlist in the army, you need to provide household registration documents, so as not to get mixed up with the enemy's spies. Commander Jia's rebuttal hit the nail on the head.
Vice General Yan was suddenly asked, in order to pay the military and falsely report the number of soldiers, the number of soldiers recruited had already been full. Take advantage of this to eat empty wages.
Due to the friction on the border, the casualty rate of the northern Xinjiang army remained high, and in order to make the results better, they falsely reported the number of deaths. In this way, a number of soldiers who are not registered are recruited every year as a supplement, and these soldiers have a very low status in the army, if they die in battle. He can only get a meager pension.
This has always been the default rule of the three armies in Northern Xinjiang, and they have become accustomed to it, and now they are mentioned by King Jing. Only then did he realize that he had dug a pit and jumped in, and was stupid enough to send the pigtails to King Jing.
"Huh? A few people were also invited to present evidence. ”
Gu Xiaoxiao pressed forward step by step, and looked at the person opposite with a change of face.
Vice General Yan was silent, and the people around her took a step: "Your Highness." You don't know it. There was a delay in handing in the household registration papers, and the soldiers who escaped took advantage of this loophole. ”
Seeing this person's strong words, Gu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly.
"I advise a few people that if they are short of words, it is better to go home and reflect on the fate of ignoring the laws and regulations of the country. Our Qingluo country attaches great importance to military service, and those who enlist in the army can benefit their neighbors and have food and financial compensation, so they must first register their household registration documents. Re-incorporated into the army. ”
Originally aggressive, with personal guards. wants to suppress the momentum of the Beiguang Army and let it converge its edge.
Unexpectedly, the three princesses caught the handle, and they were forced to retreat by a word.
Vice General Yan was annoyed or regretful, and at the same time a little afraid, she peeked at the Three Emperor Goddesses, wondering if the other party knew something.
The other party was silent and had the intention of retreating, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't intend to let them go, she directly took out the Qinghe Emperor token from her arms and raised it into the air.
"Your Majesty's dictation, those who see this order are like seeing the saints."
"Wechen knock to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live."
As the token was taken out, Gu Xiaoxiao was the only one left standing in the huge school field, and Hulala knelt down for a large part.
"From now on, His Royal Highness will conduct a thorough investigation of the left, right, and central armies, and if there are any violations of law and discipline, they will be dealt with strictly."
Since coming to Northern Xinjiang, Gu Xiaoxiao has been recuperating and not showing her edge, and she is forbearant everywhere, even if the Northern Xinjiang army has been corrupted to the point of shocking, several generals regard soldiers as lackeys and people as cattle and sheep, she can't wait to unsheath her sword and cut off the chaos in Northern Xinjiang.
But because the time is not yet ripe, Gu Xiaoxiao can only endure and secretly accumulate strength, now that she has the Beiguang Army in her hands and the support of Emperor Qinghe, she understands that the three armies are not completely stable, and it is finally time to make a move.
Vice General Yan prostrate on the ground, only to feel that the image of the three princesses was majestic, which made people dare not look directly, and his back was cold when he remembered what he had done, and he couldn't wait to return to the camp immediately to check whether there were any traces of the previous black transaction.
After announcing the thorough investigation order, Gu Xiaoxiao left directly with Zuo Lin and the others, and after she left for a long time, Vice General Yan and the others dared to get up, they didn't dare to stay and leave the Beiguang military camp, and flew on their horses to rush to their respective military camps.
Summer and autumn are the most peaceful days of the year in northern Xinjiang, because the barbarians have abundant grain and grass, cattle and sheep breed, and rarely invade the northern border.
Gu Xiaoxiao chose this opportunity to avoid internal and external troubles.
Announcing in public that the thorough investigation order was the result of her careful consideration, and Gu Xiaoxiao was waiting for a holy decree, a holy decree that could change the northern frontier. She bet that Emperor Qing and Emperor were willing to believe her, and that Emperor Qing would lose Northern Xinjiang and that she would be able to become bigger in Northern Xinjiang.
This is a dangerous situation, Gu Xiaoxiao is not sure of winning, but she is willing to give it a go.
Gu Xiaoxiao was not majestic and intimidating, on the third day after the thorough investigation order was issued, she took nearly 100 relatives and soldiers and began to investigate from the left army where Vice General Yan was located.
The first thing she did was to count the number of people against the military books and the casualty registers of previous years, and at the same time count the actual number of people in the current Left Army.
A simple check of the number of people actually forced Vice General Yan to complain of illness and did not dare to confront Gu Xiaoxiao face to face.
Through the investigation, all kinds of shortcomings in the left army have been exposed, and all the generals in the army are in danger, and they all shirk their responsibilities, for fear that they will be pulled out by Yang Qiongwan to make an example.
After doing evil for a long time, people become numb, and before King Jing thoroughly investigated, several famous generals had forgotten everything about themselves, all by embezzling the interests of the low-level soldiers of the court.
While checking the number of soldiers, Gu Xiaoxiao announced directly on the school field that anyone who has grievances can report it bluntly.
The oppressed soldiers didn't dare to act rashly at first, but when they saw that the three princesses were really unsympathetic and resolute, they relieved themselves and stepped forward to complain about their grievances.
Gu Xiaoxiao had already been mentally prepared, but after looking at the people's statements sorted out by his subordinates, he couldn't wait to immediately take a sword to Beijing and behead the old man.
When she was in the capital, Gu Xiaoxiao had a meeting with General Cong, and she always showed a harmless and reckless image in the capital. Who knew that she was so faceless in northern Xinjiang, which made people want to kill her quickly.
It is more difficult to thoroughly investigate the three armies than imagined, the left army has not yet been investigated, Gu Xiaoxiao has already experienced many assassinations, if she hadn't been prepared, the injury would have been small or big.
The person who stabbed her was extremely cunning and killed himself by biting his tongue or poisoning himself after being caught, and even the barbarians were involved.
Gu Xiaoxiao moved the interests of too many people, and in order to prevent her from investigating, everyone moved to kill people and kill her mouth, and even her identity as a princess no longer scruples.
The situation in Northern Xinjiang has changed, and several pairs of black hands have tried to stop Gu Xiaoxiao's investigation, but unfortunately, those bright sides that have been corroded by darkness for a long time have also begun to be revealed.
When the sky is obscured by darkness, the sun is dim, but when the darkness is breached, light will appear little by little.
Gu Xiaoxiao risked her life, risked her life with her daughter, and worked hard to uncover the dark veil of northern Xinjiang, those who were retaliated against with good intentions, and those who succumbed to evil and waited for the opportunity, saw the light and hope, and took the initiative to contact Gu Xiaoxiao.
There is a blood feud between the border people and the barbarians, and many of them enlist in the army with the idea of avenging their families and neighbors. Who knew that after entering the army, they found that the army was so dark, they were imprisoned and free, and became cannon fodder for their bosses in exchange for military merits.
The darkness shrouded the northern frontier for too long, so long that they gave up hope, but the three princesses appeared, she was resolute and brave and did not bow to the evil forces, she killed decisively and dared to take hundreds of people to thoroughly investigate the three armies, she was wise and martial when she encountered assassination, and she was able to save the day every time.
Those sporadic flames were connected, and the light that was obliterated by the darkness was lit up again, and the Three Emperors and Daughters Yang Qiong became the justice in the hearts of the people and low-level soldiers in Northern Xinjiang.
Supporting justice and removing darkness is the voice of all people.
Gu Xiaoxiao put life and death aside, and continued to investigate the three armies thoroughly against strong resistance, and unconsciously, the number of people who supported her suddenly increased.
When she was turned away from the camp by the Chinese army and was about to give the order to forcibly enter the camp, the door opened by itself, and hundreds of Chinese army camp guards ignored the military order and opened the door for the three princesses.
It was like a signal, a signal to the generals and henchmen of the three armies that they no longer enjoyed the power of their word, and their position was shaken.
Assassination and hard resistance were useless, and they finally became frightened and panicked, and began to beg for mercy.
