Chapter 87: Settle accounts after the fall
With Liu Chengyou staring, the government took active actions to appease people's hearts, and Yongji City quickly got rid of the shadow of the war. There is grain in his hands, and there is a rich foundation left by Li Shouzhen in the mansion, which is enough to make the aftermath work smoothly carried out.
After a simple cleanup, although the wounds are still there, the whole city is also renewed, the control of martial law is relaxed in an orderly manner, with the edict of the Son of Heaven, the residents in the city are preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival as usual, and the atmosphere is gradually harmonious.
Of course, the tens of thousands of horse-foot troops still stationed outside the city, as well as those hook-and-heart fighting company camps that have not yet been dismantled, are always a reminder of the short but bloody enough war that Fang did not have long ago. Therefore, inside and outside the city, there is an orderly order, and no cow, ghost, snake and god dare to jump out to make trouble.
In the hall, Liu Chengyou was reading a book in his hand, and at the same time listening to Hu Yanke's report on the situation of the army in the past few days, as for Liu Chengyou, what he was looking at was the meritorious personnel promoted by Bai Wenke and Li Hongjian.
Gently throwing the book on the case, it can be seen from the roster that his uncle's selfishness is not restrained at all.
"Remember, the roster is sent to the Privy Council, and after the class teacher, the Privy Council will approve the merits of the officers and men of the army, and then carry out the matter of adjusting and replacing the military positions!" Liu Chengyou said.
"Yes!" There are relatives and officials who answer.
"How's the morale of the military?" Liu Chengyou asked Hu Yanke, who finished the report.
Hu Yanke immediately replied: "Your Majesty's reward has been distributed to all the armies, and the soldiers are happy and high-spirited, and their hearts are full of Your Majesty's kindness. ”
Liu Chengyou nodded, opened his mouth, his eyes slanted, and stopped. The rewards he gave were basically distributed to the armies, and then the commanders of the armies were rewarded for their merits. This time, he sent some supervisors to supervise the matter, but even so, there were still many generals and colonels who were intercepted for personal gain, from top to bottom, there were a lot of them.
Originally, Liu Chengyou wanted to ask about it, but after thinking about it, it was just that. He already understood the situation almost well, and the army's morale was stable and strong, indicating that there had been no major problems, or that the officers and soldiers at the bottom had become accustomed to this kind of atmosphere.
However, after this, Liu Chengyou's small book has added a lot of names. At the same time, I also made up my mind that this reward and power must be received upwards, and it should be rewarded in the future, not to mention distributed to individuals, but also at the battalion and capital level, even if it is troublesome, it is worth it.
"Yang Ye, where are you?" Raised his eyes to look at Yang Ye.
Hearing this, Yang Ye immediately said: "The two thousand nine hundred and forty-six sergeants have been completed, divided into three armies and six battalions, and Your Majesty can review them at any time!" ”
"Not bad." Liu Chengyou directly instructed: "The edict ordered Zhuzhou Town to move the families of these soldiers to Tokyo, and the imperial court should also do a good job of supporting and relocating them, and the prefectures and counties along the way should support it." ”
"Yes!"
However, when the officers and soldiers of Guanyou Prefecture were repatriated and returned to the state town, Liu Chengyou ordered Yang Ye to select strong and strong men from among them to serve as forbidden troops. This is an attempt by the other town to "collect its elite soldiers", and it is going well. This time he came to the west, Liu Chengyou always wanted to have something on the west Jiedu......
And Yang Ye has already decided that he will unload the errand of the Tong'an Army and return to Tokyo with Liu Chengyou to command the army. After breaking the city, he cut down Wang Jixun, the "No. 1 brave general in the river", and did not even give him the opportunity to surrender, and he will be promoted again. Next, in the forbidden army, Liu Chengyou will have a big move, and he needs reliable and available people.
As for Tongguan, Wang Yu was previously imprisoned and entrenched in Shaanzhou, and of course, with Li Shouzhen being pacified, the garrison strength will also be reduced to 1,000.
"Your Majesty, the autumn harvest work in the counties under the Hezhong Prefecture has begun. According to the investigation, the generals of the counties and towns are all diligent in their work...... "After talking about the military, it was transferred to the civilian, and Feng Dao reported it in a timely manner."
This is the deterrence where the Son of Heaven is, with the current situation, those officials under the Hezhong Mansion will do their best to the edict of the imperial court.
"I still say the same thing, there is no food and instability, and the court governs the government, and the first thing is in Nongsang. In this matter, the state government must do a good job of supervision and persuasion! Liu Chengyou instructed: "In addition, spread the edict to Tokyo, and the center will control the world, and the autumn harvest will be carried out by all the provincial capitals!" ”
"Yes!"
......
After noon, after Liu Chengyou took a nap, he summoned more than ten military envoys such as Li Bai and Zhao Wang and senior generals and colonels with the army to discuss. There is only one serious issue, how to deal with the soldiers who violated the law and discipline in the course of this war.
Among these sergeants, there are two main categories. One is the military academy that led to the defeat of the Xiaodi army, headed by He Hui and Fan Aineng, and more than a dozen middle and low-level officers are still in detention.
The other part is the people who violated the order after the city was broken. In the forbidden army, dragons and snakes are mixed, good and bad, and in terms of military discipline, after continuous rectification, it is much better than at the beginning of the country, but this battle still exposed those problems that have been rooted in the bones.
Previously, when the city was broken, many officers and soldiers burned, killed, looted, and infringed on the people according to the style of fighting in the past. Officers and non-commissioned officers, there were hundreds of people, and they were arrested by Han Tong and Li Chongju as a typical example.
As for how to deal with these people, some generals headed by Li Hongjian suggested that they should be given a light sentence and demoted to their posts; after all, the traitors had been eliminated after a great victory in this battle, and there were no serious consequences, and excessive punishment could easily cause chills in the hearts of other soldiers.
The other faction, headed by Hu Yanke, Wang Yan and others, advocated severe punishment, to punish the military and the government, and to uphold military law. In their view, the crimes committed by He and Fan were unforgivable, and there was no room for forgiveness for the kind of soldiers who saw them and killed them. As for those officers and soldiers who broke the city and broke the law, they still boldly violated the law even when there was a clear order from the Son of Heaven, which not only violated military discipline, but also ignored the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and there was no reason for forgiveness.
There are also those who remain silent and neutral. The rest is simpler, based on the attitude of the Son of Heaven.
And Liu Chengyou's side, don't look at him summoning the generals and military envoys to discuss this matter, it's just a show, no matter how lively the discussion is, it's useless, he has already had a plan in his heart. What made him feel a little relieved was that among the generals, there were still many reasonable people......
When his generation was fighting for red faces, Liu Chengyou got up and spoke: "Since ancient times, a strong army must practice military law like a mountain, and if the military law does not stand, there will always be bears and millions of people, and I will use it?" He and Fan's generation are a great harm in the army, and the law cannot be abolished, and they must be dealt with with harshly punished and punished by law. Edict to behead! ”
"Yes!"
It can be said that the final word is settled. Liu Chengyou spoke, and Li Hongjian and others did not dare to excuse themselves again.
Taking advantage of the high sun, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to accept hundreds of soldiers such as He Hui and Fan Aineng, and beheaded them in Yuanmen. The grace of rain and dew in front, this time the power of thunder is lowered, and Liu Chengyou's means of grace and power are becoming more and more skilled.
At the same time as rectifying the forbidden army, Liu Chengyou issued an edict that all the rebels in the river should be detained, and all the generals and colonels should be judged from each other, and all those who are guilty will be punished.
Previously, Liu Chengyou promised that he would only punish the head of the vicious and stubborn, and the rest would not be careless. Therefore, Liu Chengyou was exempted from the crime of rebellion, but what he asked this time was to investigate him as a traitor.
In the final analysis, Liu Chengyou still settled accounts with the rebels, but he just changed his words. Ordinary soldiers at the grassroots level can be let go, and those generals and colonels with military positions have to be used to set an example to the world.
