The town of Yongsan became the temporary headquarters of the Bashan Agricultural Reclamation Company. Zhu Pingjin did not wait for the company to be listed and cut the ribbon, so he continued to move forward with the army.

Two days later, he finally overcame the extremely bad road conditions in this time and space, arrived at Wenchang Town, and met with Tan Sigui, commander of the Third Regiment, Gao Qingxi, deputy commander of the Third Regiment, Yang Jie, commander of the Fourth Battalion, Gao Fuxin, commander of the Fifth Battalion, Yu Fei, deputy commander of the 14th Battalion, Cui Chengru, commander of the 15th Battalion, and other front-line generals.

Gao Qingxi was responsible for leading the 5th Battalion and the newly formed 16th Battalion to sweep away the scattered bandits in the area east of Jincheng Walled. After the defeat in the battle of Zhuzizhai, he urgently drew out the 5th Battalion, another main force of the 3rd Regiment, to rush to reinforcements, which arrived only two days earlier than Zhu Pingjin. The predecessor of the Fifth Battalion was the Tianquan Tusi Infantry Battalion, which experienced countless bitter battles. After the arrival of the fifth battalion, it immediately stabilized the morale of the army, reopened the mountain road from Yunshanzhai to Wenchang Town, solved the problem of food and water for the main force, and the wounded were able to start transporting backwards.

However, in order to capture the Bolt Village, only three battalions of troops were still not enough. Therefore, Tan Sigui and Gao Qingxi could only stick to their existing positions and firmly hold the mountain supply line that maintained the army's combat effectiveness.

The regimental headquarters of the 3rd Regiment was stationed in the small Wenchang Palace. Tan Sigui reported that when the bandits evacuated, they carried out a strong wall to clear the wilderness. There was not a single bed, a chair, or a grain of rice in the town. All roads were dug up, all bridges were torn down, and all well water was poisoned. After the Protector Army entered, everyone slept on the ground and everyone drank the river water. But the bandits were reluctant to burn down the house, perhaps they thought that they could live back after defeating the Protectors.

That being the case, Zhu Pingjin is no longer polite. With a wave of his hand, he led his new headquarters and the headquarters of the 14th Regiment of the Jaden Union into the largest and best mansion in the town, the Quan Family Mansion.

The right family house is the old house of the sovereign lord of the right family village, the vermilion lacquer eight-character door is nailed with copper bubble nails, facing a wall with the word "Fu" green light wall, there are five into five open brick and tile houses. Deep in the impoverished Bashan, this mansion is undoubtedly a well-known mansion. In terms of land occupation alone, this house occupies nearly half of the area of small Wenchang Town!

"The three disciplines do not say that we must be courteous and humble to the enemy. The village bandits rebelled, and all the houses in the town were confiscated, so that the soldiers and the wounded could move in quickly! They fought hard, slept in the open, how is it good to be sick? It is also convenient to set aside a house on the west side of the house for the son of the world to live in, and the three headquarters and the two regimental headquarters live in the front yard. There's a door in the wall of the house so that everyone can get in and out......"

Zhu Pingjin pointed around with a calm face, and a series of orders were issued one after another, without asking Tan Sigui's opinion at all. When the people around him were all busy, Zhu Pingjin pointed his finger and took Shu Guoping, Sun Hong, Cheng Xiangfeng, Tan Sigui, Gao Qingxi, Jia Denglian and others into a secluded courtyard. Zhu Pingjin stood in the courtyard with his hands crossed, and finally vented the anger that had accumulated in his heart in the past few days:

"What the hell is going on? Ben Shizi knew that the 14th battalion was newly organized, and the whole training was not completed. However, the 14th Battalion has veterans of the National Protector Army as the backbone, most of the recruits are trained in the Hezhou regiment, and a few are from the Peach Blossom Guardian Team. These soldiers have seen in the world, they bear hardships and stand hard work, abide by discipline and listen to commands, and they are all excellent soldiers! How could it be annihilated by most of them, with only three hundred remnants left? Whether it's a matter of command, a matter of tactics, or something else, you have to report it truthfully! What about Wang Wenbiao, the commander of the 14th battalion? Where have the others gone? What the hell is going on? ”

As he spoke, Shizi's tone had become extremely harsh. Sun Hong glanced at Tan Sigui, who knocked his head to the ground, and was very worried that the prince would suddenly go berserk.

Tan Sigui was born in Dongmen City and was loyal to his son. He performed remarkably in the battles of Feixian Pass, Yahe River and Yazhou. In Luzhou, relying on his astuteness and courage, he supported the crisis alone and made the first contribution to the Shu Wangfu to take the important land of Luzhou. In the town of Luodu, he led the fourth battalion to annihilate the bandits at a cost of almost zero casualties. He was open-minded and cheerful, lived a simple life, and was very popular among the soldiers. Among the generals, it is also a pistachio.

The Song Zhenzong brothers and Chen Youfu spoke highly of Tan Sigui. Song Zhenzong once suggested that after the war situation in northern Sichuan calmed down, Tan Sigui should be transferred back to the Songlin Mountain base for training and make up for a lesson, so that he could be of great use in the future.

Who would have thought that Tan Sigui, who had a bright future, would capsize in the gutter! Now that the 14th Battalion has suffered heavy losses, Tan Sigui's position as regiment commander is likely to be unkept. But if Tan Sigui was punished too severely because the prince was in a bad mood, the contemptible people had no choice but to sacrifice the military law and preside over the military court trial as the chief of the army, so as to save the life of this general.

Sun Hong thought about it, and saw Tan Sigui kowtow heavily on the ground, and then suddenly raised his head and said: "The last general expected the enemy to be wrong, and he was willing to be dealt with by military law!" Wang Wenbiao was corrupt and degenerate, greedy for life and afraid of death, and after being captured, he surrendered to thieves and rebelled, causing heavy losses to our army, please make it clear to the whole army that the prince is guilty! ”

Wang Wenbiao was captured and surrendered to the thief?

The straw label thief who bought it with his own hands in Dongmen City?

Hearing that Wang Wenbiao had surrendered to the thief, Zhu Pingjin was taken aback.

The mouth is wide open, especially unconscious.

……

Tan Sigui has an active personality, but he is not a casual person. Based on his understanding of Tan Sigui, after Zhu Pingjin settled down, he did not rush to draw conclusions about the defeat and punish him. He quickly followed his familiar working methods to investigate the truth. Its main way of working is to talk to cadres and fighters in person.

The first person to talk to was Yu Fei, deputy commander of the 14th Battalion and commander of the 1st Company.

Yu Fei is a native of Huaxi Town, Hongya County, and was Wang Wenbiao's deputy during Wang Wenbiao's tenure as the captain of the Hongya County Huzhuang Brigade and the commander of the 14th Battalion. On understanding Wang Wenbiao, it is none other than Fei.

Huaxi Town, Hongya County, is located on the left bank of the Huaxi River, a tributary of the Tsing Yi River. After the tea merchant buys the tea, the fresh tea after the completion is transported to the Tsing Yi River, and then traced back to Yazhou to make tea and press bricks, and transport it to Tibet.

Yu Fei, the deputy commander of the 14th Battalion, was a young man in his twenties, tall and agile; His eyes are full of spirit and his demeanor is resolute, and he knows at a glance that he is different from ordinary people.

Cadre files show that he was a tea farmer near Huaxi Town, Hongya County, not only growing tea, but also selling tea. Because of his fair actions and fair prices, tea merchants from other places like to find him, so he gradually became a well-known local tooth shop owner.

Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, and the local government was mourning, and Diewen asked the gentry from all over the country to donate money to help set up a township corps to practice, and the people of Shili and Eight Townships near Huaxi elected Yu Fei as the leader of the regimental training. In addition to the five beetles spreading throughout Sichuan, the Huaxi regiment practiced a large-scale assembly, and hundreds of elites drove into the county seat, so in addition to the five beetles Hongya County also made trouble, but it soon disappeared and did not become a climate.

After the Yazhou Rebellion, Fan Wenguang's field houses all fell into the hands of Zhu Pingjin, and some of Fan's field houses were located in Hongya County. It happened that Hong Yaling was promoted to outside the province, and Zhu Pingjin took the opportunity of receiving Fan's Tianzhai to set up a Wangzhuang and Huzhuang brigade in Hongya County. At that time, Yu Feizheng led a regiment to train troops to deploy defenses in the county seat, and was very friendly with the people in the palace, and he had a good impression of Zhu Pingjian, the proud son of the heavenly family who pacified the Yazhou Rebellion.

At that time, Zhu Pingjin was short of cadres, so with a wave of his hand, he included Yu Fei, a local leader, into his bag, and entrusted him with an important task, appointing him as the deputy captain of the Hongya County Huzhuang Brigade and the deputy squadron leader of the basic squadron, assisting Wang Wenbiao, who was in charge of the military and Wangzhuang of a county. At the end of last year, Shudi Wangzhuang was mobilized, and Wang Wenbiao was transferred to the Shunqing Corps for temporary duty.

There was a shortage of cadres, and the military headquarters of the superintendent remembered Wang Wenbiao, who was in Shunqing, and appointed him as the battalion commander of the newly formed 14th battalion. When Wang Wenbiao was appointed, he recommended Yu Fei, a deputy in Hongya County, to serve as the deputy battalion commander, and also recommended several cadres at the company and platoon levels. The situation is pressing, and the director of the military department has a batch, and urges Yu Fei and others to take office as soon as possible. However, the superintendent's military department did not expect that this series of personnel appointments had a big incident here!

Wang Wenbiao is a native of Mianzhou and was born in Dongmen City. Parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters all died as thieves, and they had a deep hatred for the thieves.

In Bifeng Gorge, each company has only seven squads, and there are no platoon-level units. Wang Wenbiao is the squad leader of the second squad of the old first company, and he is a comrade-in-arms of the same company as Chen Youfu, Tan Sigui, and Wen Yangzheng. The whole company stood in line, and Wang Wenbiao's position was behind Chen Youfu, under the flag of the caravan. The Battle of Yazhou, the Battle of Niujiaozhai and the Battle of Jiangkou, Wang Wenbiao participated in them one by one, although his performance was mediocre, but he did not make mistakes.

Zhu Pingjin put Wang Wenbiao in Hongya County as a member of his cronies, and promoted him step by step from the leader of the backbone squadron to the captain of the brigade. Wang Wenbiao's own background and performance are certainly factors to consider for promotion. But Wang Wenbiao is the only one among the 351 grass standards in Bifengxia who can read and write, but it is the main reason why he is independent.

Objectively speaking, the appointment of Wang Wenbiao as the battalion commander is generally appropriate. The captain of the Huzhuang Brigade and the battalion commander were originally of the same rank, and the transfer was not a promotion, so the direct appointment of the superintendent of the military department did not exceed his authority.

……

The soldiers poured into the mansion of the Quan family, and the deserted courtyard was immediately lively.

The sound of the soldiers' voices and the groans of the wounded soldiers passed over the high roof to a secluded courtyard in the southwest corner. There was no furniture, and the craftsmen who accompanied the battalion sawed out a few crude wooden piers from tree trunks and moved them to be used as benches. It is said that the craftsmen are stepping up to make beds, so that Zhu Pingjin, the prince of the world, cannot be allowed to sleep on the cold floor at night.

A soft cushion was added to Zhu Pingjian's wooden pier, which was removed from Zhu Pingjian's saddle. After the egg pain incident, the attendant eunuchs were scolded by their superiors and were covered with blood, so they took measures to make Zhu Pingjian's saddle soft and smooth. The only difference between Zhu Pingjin and his subordinates is here.

But Zhu's attention is not on these objects. He stared at the personnel file in his hand, thinking about where the problem was.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Pingjin asked Yu Fei, who was standing in the middle of the room, a question:

"General Yu, let's talk about your defeat in the battle first, and talk about Wang Wenbiao's capture and rebellion."

This is the first time Yu Fei has faced Zhu Pingjin alone. Shizi was silent, which made him a little nervous. Shizi finally spoke, visibly letting him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Lord Yu Shishi: A few days ago, I was defeated, and I will be ashamed of my brothers, and I will not redeem my death!"

As soon as Yu Fei spoke, he took the initiative to take responsibility. neither defended himself nor made a reason for Wang Wenbiao, which made Zhu Pingjin, who was worried about the two colluding, feel a little relieved.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and General Yu doesn't have to blame himself too much. The key is that we win, and we know why; If you lose, understand why!

If you understand it and think it through, you will continue to win if you can win next time, and you won't lose if you lose!

Therefore, the post-war summing up must be comprehensive, and we must never just talk about what we won and taboo what we lost. Sage: Defeat is the mother of victory, that's the truth. ”

"What a good thing the prince said! The last general has been taught! Yu Fei sincerely bowed his hand to Zhu Pingjian. He straightened out his thoughts and began to tell. The story began in the town of Luodu more than a month ago.

Note 1: Yu Fei, Hong Yayi in the late Ming Dynasty. In history, he led the township soldiers to defeat Zhang Xianzhong's army several times, and later died in battle. Huaxi Town, Ming Dynasty for Lucun Town, returned to Huaxi Township.
