Chapter 741
Shi Kefa is the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department, and his high position and the name of the loyal monarch are even respected by Chang Yu, so even the Dongchang fans who have always had eyes on the top of their foreheads do not dare to make a time, and they are courteous to speak with a shy smile from the door, and at this time they are trying to take Huang Degong, if others interfere with it, they must not be intimidated, but they dare not Shi Kefa, so they said: "Lord Shangshu, please say."
Shi Kefa cleared his throat and said: "Although the military order is like a mountain, General Huang is also loyal and brave this time to send reinforcements to the capital, and he also killed a lot of Tartars, which should be meritorious, and has not caused irreparable losses, can you take one or two as appropriate."
"Lord Shangshu is going to intercede with Mr. Huang" A eunuch said: "Lord Shangshu also knows that the military order is like a mountain, and the factory governor wants to come to govern the army strictly, how can he allow this kind of thing to violate the military order at this time, as for what Lord Shangshu said to send aid to the capital, it seems ridiculous, the Tartar forces attack the city, and the factory governor will win the victory in the morning, otherwise he would have ordered you to go north to support, the reason why the troops were not transferred is because the factory governor wants to wear down the Tartar troops with the thickness of the high wall of the city, and Huang Zongbing went to help but many times in one fell swoop, It can even be said that it has helped the poorly, if it hadn't sent troops north, the southern city of Tartars would have attacked the city, and then there would have been more dead Tartars......"
"Co-authored ......" Huang Degong was about to explain, but was interrupted by the eunuch: "As for Lord Shangshu saying that Huang Zongbing killed hundreds of Tartars, we should ask Huang Zongbing, you killed nearly 300 Tartars, but how many casualties were there?" ”
Huang Degong was speechless for a while, his face became extremely embarrassed, there was a bloody battle in the heavy rain yesterday, and hundreds of Tartars were killed, but he also suffered heavy casualties, just for the sake of the current situation, he deliberately concealed it.
"Kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000 yourself, what's the merit" The eunuch snorted coldly, signaling the Jinyi guard to take the person, Shi Kefa exited again to block: "This father-in-law, have you ever heard a sentence that will not be subject to foreign military orders!" ”
The eunuch smiled: "Have you heard of it, from Sun Tzu's Art of War, those generals who disobey orders especially like to prevaricate with this sentence."
Shi Kefa shook his head with a wry smile: "You really don't know, you should ask your factory supervisor when you go back, he will know" The eunuch was stunned, "How can our family not know, it is obviously from Sun Tzu's Art of War."
Shi Kefa did not argue with him, but said that the recent military instability and rumors were all over the place: "The loss of Huang Zongbing sent troops, not only stabilized the army's morale but also greatly boosted it, this is what the old man said, if the two fathers-in-law still don't understand, and first go back to Beijing to explain this matter to the factory governor, he will definitely take back his fate, if the old man returns to Beijing with the two and the factory governor to make it clear."
"I don't need Lord Shangshu to go, I will make it clear myself, I don't believe that the little eunuch really cut Lao Tzu!" Huang Degong blew his beard, and the two eunuchs heard that he was so disrespectful, and immediately glared at him coldly: "Mr. Huang, speak more properly, the tea in Dongchang is not as delicious as the big fence at the front door."
Hum! Who to scare...... Huang Degong rolled his eyes and stopped talking, Shi Kefa looked left and right, finally sighed, waved his hand, and the two eunuchs signaled Jinyi Wei to take people back to Beijing, but they didn't want to be shackled.
The top priority, take the general to prison, and he is not afraid of messing up the morale of the army, Shi Kefa looked at the figure of more than ten horsemen galloping north in the wilderness, and his heart was so chaotic that he couldn't do it.
At dusk, there are several forces of men and horses fighting on the bank of the Yongding River outside the southern city of the imperial capital, since the Ming and Qing dynasties of the two armies of the horses in the personal feud, when the fierce battle is in full swing, a small force of more than 20 cavalry came to the south, the first one is Huang Degong, saw the war in the distance and watched for a while, carrying a steel whip to kill the past, but was stopped by the Dongchang Fanzi next to him: "Huang Zongbing is a top priority, you still want to enter the city to get your own."
"Lao Tzu has something to do, I don't believe that killing Tartars is still guilty......" Huang Degong snorted coldly.
When twilight fell, the people who were cleaning up the battlefield outside the city, the defending Ming army and some of the scouts from outside the city returned to the city one after another, and the gates of the 49 City were all closed, and the green smoke rose in the city.
In the yamen of the East Factory, Chang Yu was making tea and drinking with Tang Potian and several other commanders of the guards under the flower stand in the courtyard, and after smelling the report from outside, he was stunned at first, and then smiled bitterly: "It's really this old boy's business."
Huang Degong broke in majestically, Chang Yu got up and just wanted to speak, when he saw something flying over and rolling to his feet, but it was a bloody Tartar head, and he was so shocked that Chen Suole and other relatives next to him drew their knives and wanted to take him, thinking that this old boy wanted to make trouble.
Huang Degong ignored Chen Suole and other personal attendants, went straight to the table under the flower stand, picked up the wine jug and poured it, then threw it on the ground, looked at Chang Yu and said: "I heard that killing Tartars is guilty, Lao Tzu has killed hundreds of them in the past two days, what crime does the factory governor plan to treat me, peeling or cramping."
"Hey, hey, as soon as you enter the door, you throw people's heads and shake your face, who are you for" Chang Yu looked at Huang Degong and laughed: "But if you don't have an explanation for our family to nod today, it's really enough for you to drink a pot."
"I don't pour a thousand cups, and I'm not afraid of ten more pots," Huang Degong rolled his eyes with a hum.
"Don't talk nonsense, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, you will let it go, give you a cup of tea, and decide whether you will sleep in the guest room or in prison tonight" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips.
It didn't take a cup of tea at all, Huang Degong only said less than ten sentences, but every sentence was on the point, especially the last three sentences "Am I meritorious?" Should I be rewarded? Should there be a heavy reward? ”。
Chang Yu smiled bitterly and got up: "The general is outside, the king's order is not affected, you can't say this, Master Shi said it."
"Whoever said that, isn't that the truth?" Huang Degong did not give up.
"That's the reason" Chang Yu exhaled a long breath, the generals are leading the troops outside, and the battlefield is changing to know how to make emergency changes, how can they all listen to the so-called strategists who are thousands of miles away from the battlefield, and the generals who were killed in history can no longer be said less, the distant Ge Shuhan, and the near Sun Chuanting, all because the big guys in the palace did not understand the battlefield situation, let them follow the order, and were finally killed by the pit.
But at the same time, this sentence has also become a golden and jade word for many generals to avoid responsibility.
"As you said, the army is disheartened and even panicked, thanks to your troops to calm down the battle, the merit is greater than the fault, right?"
"Isn't it?" Huang Degong was chirping there again, but Chang Yu couldn't refute it: "But you disobeyed the order first, and secondly, although you wanted to boost the morale of the army, you had more than 10,000 cavalry in danger, so you didn't think that if the enemy was defeated, not only would there be countless casualties, but it might also add fuel to the fire and make the army's heart even more panicked."
"Didn't think about it!" Huang Degong replied very simply: "Dare to ask the factory governor, at that time in your opinion, what method will be used, the war is imminent, the army's instability has hidden panic, our soldiers are already struggling to fight the thief army, and this month has been exhausted after a long journey and several fierce battles, at this time there is fear, dare to ask the factory governor can such a soldier pull out of the war, is it to give the Tartar a head!" ”
Chang Yu was speechless for a while.
smiled bitterly for a long time: "This is what Master Shi taught you."
Huang Degong rolled his eyes: "I am not a three-year-old child, why do you need others to teach me to speak, if you take Lao Tzu today...... I've sent my humble post to prison, I'm just afraid hehe......"
Seeing his stubbornness, Chang Yu couldn't cry or laugh: "Okay, you are guilty of violating the order, but you have merit in killing the enemy, how about the merits and demerits?" ”
"No, the merit of killing the enemy in a humble position is a mistake for violating the order, but the merit of a humble position also has the merit of stabilizing the morale of the army, why not reward it?" Huang Degong is on a par with Chang Yu today.
Chang Yu was stunned, glanced at Li Muxian next to him and laughed: "I haven't seen the oily tone of the school for a few days, no matter what, our family doesn't care about you, if you reward our family, we will reward you, but it is our private reward, if you violate the order, it is impossible to encourage, there is no reward on the scene, say how much reward you want, if you want more, our family will not get ......"
When he saw it, he accepted it, Huang Degong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was still a civil official, Shi Kefa's rhetoric was really useful, and seeing that Chang Yuguo was not punished, he went down the slope and got off the donkey: "Don't reward silver for your humble duties."
"Oh, so what do you want?" Chang Yu asked.
"I want wine" Huang Degong pointed to the broken wine jug on the ground, and said: "I also want a woman!" ”
Everyone laughed, Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Yes, let's let you have a good time today, Fang San took Huang Zongbing to Dashilar to call him a girl......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huang Degong: "One can't do it, I want ten!" ”
