Chapter 269: Showing Fangs
Yu Yunwen was a little tired, drank the medicine handed over by the Hanlin medical officer, and continued:
"Not to mention that the official guarantees his reputation and exempts the martial artist from criminal responsibility."
"It's just that now is the key opportunity to exterminate Fang La's rebels, and it still needs the strength of the martial arts, so it can't be too strict. If the warriors have complaints, can the current camp be saved? ”
"It is true that the warriors were at fault, but they also fought bloody battles on the north shore, saved most of the soldiers, and looted a lot of ordnance and supplies. Although most of the goods were distributed on the spot, as a reward for military merits and compensation for casualties, there was no cheaper Yongle puppet dynasty. ”
Lord Yu began to draw conclusions, and several civil officials were still not angry.
Yu Yunwen took the expression of the civil official in front of him in his eyes, sneered twice in his heart, but said comfortingly:
"Martial artists are meritorious. As civil officials, you also have the credit of ensuring food and grass and arranging defense, and your own officials will naturally not favor one over the other. ”
"The remaining grain and grass need to be counted clearly, the ordnance needs to be repaired, the rewards and pensions need to be inspected, and the official documents sent back to the court must also be put into writing.
"In the past two days, this official has written a report on the merits of the warriors and you, and I will ask you to confirm it at that time. If you have no other opinions, please continue your ministry. ”
What's the dissatisfaction? The civil servants in the tent hurriedly saluted, took their leave, and several civil officials could not hide the excitement on their faces at all.
The civilian officials in the army heard three meanings here in Yu Yunwen:
First, the merit is not only for the warriors, but also for the civil officials, provided that the civil officials take care of their own affairs and do not get entangled in the matter of exonerating the martial arts;
Second, now that martial artists are needed, Lord Yu is forced to treat martial artists leniently, but Lord Yu still attaches the most importance to scholars;
Third, after the credit is distributed, Lord Yu will let everyone take a look first, and there is no need to worry about who Lord Yu deliberately misses.
After the military Chinese officer left, Yu Yunwen was physically and mentally exhausted and rested on the back of his chair.
Yu Yunwen has gone through the sea of eunuchs, and now he has become a popular candidate for Zaizhi, where do you not understand the thoughts of those civil officials?
What martial artists should not be forgiven, and the laws of the country cannot be abolished, which is basically an excuse. To put it bluntly, it is a civil official who obeys orders under Yu Yunwen's account, and the warrior who can't see a big mistake is not only fine, but also gets military merits and pensions.
Yu Yunwen was also helpless to share the credit with the civil officials, he knew that the martial artists would not have big opinions: it was a great thing for all martial artists to be able to smoothly exempt themselves from their previous crimes and get a part of their military exploits.
"I'm so tired, no one in the civil and military forces is worry-free. It is so difficult to maintain a stall of tens of thousands of people, how did those famous generals in ancient times lead 100,000 troops and 1 million soldiers at every turn? ”
Yu Yunwen was exhausted, and for the first time he had doubts about his ability, but he quickly suppressed his depression and reminded himself in his heart:
It is precisely because of the perverse, murderous, and power-grabbing warriors that there was an unbearable chaotic era at the end of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty was a country was brilliant and prosperous was due to the merits of the scholars. Scholars are the defenders of peace in the world, and scholars will not lose to anyone!
Yu Yunwen definitely can't accept that he can't compare to martial artists, and he does surpass many martial artists.
Compared with famous generals such as Di Qing, Yu Yunwen's attainments in the battle array are obviously not enough, and it is likely that he will not be able to look at Di Qing for the rest of his life. But Yu Yunwen will not admit this, and the scholar class of the Great Zhou will not admit it.
To some extent, the tragedy of General Di Qing stems from this.
The people of Yan and Huang have survived, multiplied, and fought for thousands of years, and there has never been a class as good as the scholar class of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No stratum has achieved super-strong control over social resources, upward channels, and the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, so that there is no check and balance.
Dr. Kwong applied the ancestral ointment to Yu Yunwen, and then gently massaged Yu Yunwen's temples with the ancestral technique.
Yu Yunwen soon felt a little cooler in his mind, and he remembered that he had asked Dr. Kwong to treat Zhang Tianlei, so he asked Zhang Tianlei about his condition.
"Lord Yu rest assured, General Zhang was just overworked, sweated a few times and then was blown by the wet river breeze, so he was infected with the wind cold. The condition came urgently, but fortunately, he was in good health and was sure to be well within two days. ”
Doctor Kwong replied with no effect on his hands.
When Yu Yunwen heard this, he felt less guilty about Zhang Tianlei, and at the same time felt that Zhang Tianlei was very interesting and knew how to stop in moderation.
He made great contributions without publicity, did not give any opinions on the distribution of military merits, and did not even say a word, Yu Yunwen admired Zhang Tianlei's approach very much.
Doctor Kwong ended his diagnosis and treatment of Yu Yunwen, packed up his things and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Yu Yunwen.
Lord Yu, who has a lot of sober minds, is grateful for the careful care of Medical Officer Kuang since he was in Bianjing, and he spread out his pen and ink and wrote letters.
Dr. Kwong could probably guess the contents of the letter, and tried his best to hide his excitement.
Yu Yunwen used a private seal, sealed the letter, and handed the letter to Doctor Kuang, "Medical Officer Lao Kuang has taken care of this official for so long, and this official has nothing to repay." ”
"I heard that Ling Langzi inherited his father's business and was admitted to the hospital twice. There is a letter here, and Doctor Kuang can ask Ling Lang to hand it over to the lifting master of the Tai Hospital, maybe he can help one or two. ”
"If Ling Lang can learn half of the level of Medical Officer Kuang, then it will not be impossible for this official to recommend Ling Lang to Hallym Medical College."
Doctor Kwong saluted again and again, and withdrew from the big tent in ecstasy, intending to beat up his unangry son when he went back, so that he could study medicine hard. If you can't get the most noble science and technology master, the son inherits his father's business, and it's not bad to be a Hanlin medical officer.
After Dr. Kwong left, Yu Yunwen lay down on the bed, slowly but in detail analyzed the defeat on the north bank, and why most of the soldiers were able to retreat after the defeat.
The officers and troops obviously had a great advantage in troops, ordnance, and food and grass, but under the attack of the Fang La army, they were soon close to collapse.
After the defeat of the officers and troops, they were able to rise up and bear huge casualties in a small position, blocking the elite of the Fangla army in turn, and ensuring the orderly progress of the retreat.
Every time Yu Yunwen thinks about it, he has a feeling of pity. If Zhang Tianlei's three strategies had been adopted from the beginning, would the temporary camp on the north shore still be lost?
There are a lot of cheats among the generals, and Yu Yunwen's promise to exempt these people from responsibility is to encourage the generals to serve the dead.
In hindsight, Zhang Tianlei's first suggestion was aimed at the hearts of the people and quickly stabilized the situation on the battlefield, which was a prerequisite for a successful retreat.
The disabled sergeant is a powder keg, and the evacuation of these people is the priority to ensure the fighting spirit of the soldiers at the bottom.
Judging from the second suggestion, Zhang Tianlei has a good understanding of the psychology of low-level sergeants, and he is a general who has really worked the details of leading troops.
The big soldier is most worried about what will happen after his death, worried that after his already poor family loses himself, his life will fall into a helpless situation.
Yu Yunwen got a very important harvest from Zhang Tianlei's third suggestion: no military law, no kindness, no copper coins, jiaozi, fine salt, silk cloth, and grain!
After Yu Yunwen compared, he realized how poor his command was, and how subtle Zhang Tianlei's three suggestions were.
Zhang Tianlei's retreat strategy is interlocking and complements each other, fully demonstrating the quality of a good general. In order to boost the morale of the defenders on the south bank and prevent the defeat on the north bank from affecting the south bank, Zhang Tianlei did not hesitate to let people spread the word of the great victory on the north bank, which also embodied the style of responding to emergencies.
In Yu Yunwen's heart, Zhang Tianlei is already a rare good general in the Great Zhou.
As a scholar who stands at the top of the world, and as a son of a saint who aspires to govern the country and level the world, Yu Yunwen is not a stupid bookbag, but a capable minister, a cadre, and a famous minister who advocates practice.
Yu Yunwen has never been afraid of self-reflection, self-summary, and self-improvement. It is also by virtue of great open-mindedness, perseverance and wisdom that famous ministers such as Yu Yunwen were able to pass all the way and climb to the top of the Great Zhou Dynasty and become the senior Mr. admired by scholars all over the world.
After resting for a while, Yu Yunwen wrote in his notes: The army that dares to fight is not a patchwork; Soldiers who dare to fight need to know their minds; The generals who dare to fight need to be left to their own devices.
The notebook, also known as the codex and the diary, is a book carried by the readers of the Great Zhou Dynasty to record the thoughts of events at any time, and the diary of Mingyuezhuang is equivalent to the role.
Putting down the wolf's pen, Yu Yunwen was not worried about the battle situation on the south bank.
The camp on the south bank was too small, and now there were more than 20,000 Great Zhou troops, and hundreds of warships were close to the river at any time to support. Unless the Fang La army defeated the Xiangzhou naval army, attacking the camp on the south bank was only to send them to death.
Change into a dressing gown and wear a headband and beard bag. Yu Yunwen glanced towards the north, and his smooth teeth looked a little cold under the bright light of whale oil wax: the traitor of the Yongle puppet dynasty, do you think that the national dynasty is capable of this? There are less than two days left, and it will be the day of your destruction!
The Qiantang River is surging, and the waves of the East China Sea are choppy.
