Chapter 236: Expedition

The military rations were restocked, and there was new progress on the side of the long sword capital. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After Fan Yu went back, he vigorously rectified it, so that the long sword used twelve points of strength, and finally captured Qu Zhang in a Zhuangzi outside Guangling City. As for the old man mentioned by Jia Lingwei, he hid in the residence of Gu Quanwu and Qian Chuanxuan, and was personally taken by Fan Yu to arrest him.

Qu Zhang and others not only created rumors and raised grain prices, but also secretly colluded with King Yue, set fire to the granary, and planned to delay the Guangling army to go on the expedition.

Although Yang Xingmi was generous, at this time, he also knew that his previous hesitation to deal with Qu Zhang and others had caused greater losses, so he also took out thunderous measures at this time, and directly ordered that all the people who secretly created rumors be beheaded, and their families were punished as slaves and maids, and their family property was confiscated.

Only Jia Lingwei did not blame him because he was the first to report and did not participate in the arson later, but his position in the Command Department was also dismissed.

However, when Qu Zhang's family was arrested, it was found that Qu Zhang had prepared in advance, and his family stayed in Qizhou when he came to Guangling to take up his post, and now he has already fled Huainan.

After disposing of the people involved in the case, Yang Xingmi was still angry, and the officials in Huainan in Guangling were summoned to the Jiedu Embassy early in the morning to discuss the matter.

In the conference hall, Yang Xingmi's angry voice kept coming: "It's a big joke in the world, you said that 200,000 stone of grain was placed in Guangling City, and it was burned by Qian Biao's fine work; If the army is sent out, will the grain and grass of the army also be burned? Fan Yu, as the commander of the Long Sword Capital, Qu Zhang colluded with Qian Biao to commit such a big thing, but you didn't receive any news, aren't you responsible? ”

"Yes, there will be a crime of dereliction of duty, please punish the king......"

"The crime of dereliction of duty, the crime of dereliction of duty, I am tired of hearing it, is it such a crime of dereliction of duty? Qian Biao's meticulous work is so stubborn, he can burn 200,000 stone of grain in Guangling, can he get away with a word of dereliction of duty? Gao Mian, you are in charge of the Commander of the Army, and Qu Zhang is also your subordinate, he committed such a big crime, do you also have to take responsibility? ”

Many officials hung their heads and let Yang Xingmi vent their anger.

Many of them have been following Yang Xingmi for more than ten years, but it is the first time to see him so angry, you must know that Gao Mian is the first strategist to follow Yang Xingmi, and his qualifications are on the same level as Yuan Xi and Dai Yougui, and he is deeply trusted by Yang Xingmi, and now even he has been questioned, and the shock to others can be imagined.

However, Yang Xingmi's anger seemed to have no end, and after asking Gao Mian about his guilt and letting him go home and think about it behind closed doors, he turned his anger on the others.

Those officials who were usually treated favorably by Yang Xingmi, including Li Jian, Zhang Chong, Liu Xin, etc., these important generals in the army, were all named by Yang Xingmi, counting all kinds of illegal things they had done in the past.

This made the officials frightened, and thought that Yang Xingmi was so angry that he lost his mind because of this incident, and even Li Jian and others, who had always been trustworthy, were reprimanded, and then they were going to dismiss them from their posts to others?

Therefore, everyone was sweating profusely, and they didn't dare to come out, and at the same time, they also reflected in their hearts whether they had done too many illegal things over the years.

Yang Wu knew that Yang Xingmi wanted to take the opportunity to rectify the rule of officials, although he was lenient to his subordinates and won the trust of everyone, but it also caused many officials to be lawless and reckless; It's also a good thing to take advantage of this incident now.

So after Yang Xingmi had almost vented, he cooperated and stood up to intercede for everyone.

Yang Xingmi was still angry, and only after Yang Wu's repeated pleas did he announce that he would not be guilty of the past, let everyone do things well, and not act recklessly.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and their eyes looking at Yang Wu were also grateful.

After returning to the study, Yang Xingmi said apologetically: "Mr. Gao, I have wronged you this time, you first cultivate at home for a few days, and then come out to do things for Gu in a few days."

Gao Miao hurriedly thanked him, he saw Yang Xingmi's intentions very clearly, and naturally cooperated with him.

Yan Ke begged: "Although the king is using this incident to beat everyone, he still needs to be appeased afterwards, so as not to let everyone deviate from morality."

"This is natural." Yang Xingmi sighed and said: "Lone used to be kind to them and turned a blind eye to many things they did, it's not that Lone doesn't know, but Lone doesn't want to care about their past achievements. But they still think that lonely and weak are easy to deceive? ”

Seeing that Yang Xingmi had his own ideas, everyone didn't say more.

Yang Xingmi also took the opportunity to issue an edict, requiring officials and generals in various places to abide by the law and not act recklessly.

It was the first time for officials in Huainan to see him lose such a big temper, and their hearts were awe-inspiring, and they were much more law-abiding than before, and all kinds of illegal behaviors had also dropped a lot, for fear of hitting Yang Xingmi's muzzle.

Later, seeing that the atmosphere in Huainan had improved a lot, Yang Xingmi summoned officials from all walks of life and comforted him gently.

When the people saw that he was still as forgiving as before, they were relieved. However, with the previous beating, everyone is no longer as reckless as before.

Of course, these are all later words, Yang Wu had already set out on the third day of the granary fire, and before sending troops, Yang Wu did not forget to go to the new army.

Outside Guangling City, the barracks where Yang Wu trained his troops at the beginning have now become the camp of a new army.

Inside the camp.

Yang Wu stood quietly at the front of the team, looking at the twenty captains such as Li Chengding in front of him, as well as the team standing neatly behind them, and couldn't help but feel satisfied.

To tell the truth, although the purpose of forming this new army was to train basic officers, in his opinion, nine of the twenty captains in the first batch were the sons of generals, and they had a relatively deep back. Jing, especially like Li Chengding and Zhou Ye, the relationship between these two people and Yang Wu is extraordinary.

Although these people are all worthy of cultivation, they are only afraid of being arrogant, and among the people selected by Yang Wu to serve as instructors, there are no generals who can compete with their fathers in terms of qualifications and prestige, so Yang Wu feels that it is not easy for the instructors to let these arrogant sons of noble families obediently obey orders and train hard.

But then he realized that he was too worried.

At this time, Guangling was drizzling, but Li Chengding and the others worked hard to hold their chests up without exception, allowing the rain to slide down their cheeks and soak their clothes, and no one moved; Even their eyes didn't blink for half a day.

"It's hard to say anything else, but there is no doubt about discipline, strong will, and a military temperament!" Seeing everyone's performance, Yang Wu couldn't help but evaluate in his heart.

During this time, although he was very busy, Yang Wu often came to inspect the New Army and attached great importance to the training of the New Army.

However, the reason why Li Chengding and others are so obedient is not because of Yang Wu's contributions, but because Shang Gongnai, who is standing beside him at the moment, with a solemn face.

Shang Gongnai believes that the most important thing for a soldier is obedience, and military regulations and military discipline must be strictly implemented, which Yang Wu agrees with.

Therefore, since the start of the training of the new army, Shang Gongnai would let the soldiers line up every day, especially in the hottest days of summer, and even lined up in the sun every day to expose to the sun, the purpose is said to be to exercise their willpower and obedience.

Moreover, Shang Gongnai also took a few guards to patrol back and forth in the team from time to time, as long as someone dared to move a little, it would immediately be an old fist.

These sons and brothers, where have they suffered like this, some went to Shang Gongnai to theorize, but they were beaten for a while; reacted to Yang Wu, but Yang Wu shirked and said that this was instructor training, and he was not good at interfering; There are also those who have learned martial arts and want to resist by force, but unexpectedly, Shang Gongnai's martial arts are more proficient, they are not opponents at all, and the result is also a period of old fists.

In addition to standing in line, Shang Gongnai also tossed Li Chengding and others in a variety of ways, as long as they violated discipline a little, they would come down with an old fist, and they would not talk about it at all.

This back and forth, just like Xiucai encountering soldiers, it is unclear that it is reasonable, Li Chengding and others gave up resistance, and finally had to accept their fate.

Up to now, these captains have achieved great results in discipline and obedience, which makes Yang Wu feel that it is the right choice to let Shang Gongnai be the instructor.

In addition to exercising willpower and obedience, the new army also taught many things, such as how to camp in the field, how to allocate troops during battle, etc., but the teaching was relatively scattered and unsystematic; Although these instructors selected by Yang Wuxuan have experienced a hundred battles and have rich experience in actual combat, they have no ability to lead soldiers, but they are still far from being able to teach and educate people.

And Yang Wu could see that among these instructors, in addition to Ding Yuan, the chief instructor with a cautious personality, and Shang Gongnai, a professional model who would do his best no matter what he was asked to do, several other instructors, such as Sun Yan, Li Decheng and others, were a little reluctant to put them here to teach newcomers.

After all, they are capable people, and they still have the idea of making contributions, so they naturally don't want to stay in this kind of place where there are no opportunities for promotion.

The lack of qualified instructors will definitely become a major factor restricting the development of military schools, but unfortunately Yang Wu has no way to solve it for the time being.

Of course, the purpose of his coming here this time was not to inspect, but to take these people to the battlefield, especially Li Chengsi and other nine people, as the children of the generals, although they have been in contact since childhood, it is the first time they have actually gone to the battlefield.

After disbanding the team, Yang Wu gathered Li Chengding and other twenty captains and announced: "I will take you with me on this southern expedition, but I don't want you to go to the battlefield, but let you go to see it." You have learned a lot these days, but you must have left a lot of questions, which are useless just to think, and you must go to the army to see them. See what you actually saw and what you learned, and come back to write a report! ”

"Yes!"
