Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 6 Accumulation of Evils

Zhan Pohan's sharp gaze swept over everyone one by one, and finally stopped at the person in the last seat. Although almost everyone present was a general who had retreated, except for the two people on the left and right, only this person had a resolute face, as if he was not shocked by this solemn atmosphere. In terms of official character, that person is just a five-grade garrison, in terms of meritorious service, these people in front of him are all generals of the defeated army, if it is not for the use of people, Zhan Pohan can't wait to be cut in front of the battle.

"Fang Dejun!" Zhan Pohan shouted. I saw that the man sitting in the last seat immediately stood up, stepped forward and bowed, and said, "I am here, I don't know what the general commands?" ”

"Ben will see that you are confident, and you don't seem to be worried about the war?" Zhan Pohan's words were like knives, "It stands to reason that you are also a general of the defeated army, if you have such confidence, why didn't you fight bravely to kill the enemy that day, or retreat here?" ”

All the generals fell silent, and the coach spoke like this, everyone knew that he was going to have a seizure, and how could he make do without long eyes. However, Fang Dejun was obviously not afraid, and his voice was still as loud as ever. "General Mingjian, the lowly garrison position was temporarily assigned by his boss Luo Guji, and he was just a battalion commander before. When the thieves attacked, the former garrison couldn't resist for a while, and wanted to flee for his life as a deserter, but the corporal imprisoned him in a fit of rage. As a last resort, he led his troops to resist, but finally lost. On the way, I met Luo Guerrilla, and in order to have a position to command the subordinate military horses, he asked me to take the position of garrison. ”

There was a sudden gloom in his tone, but then he raised his head without fear, "It's not a humble boast." If it weren't for the previous garrison who embezzled military funds and ate up a lot of money, I am afraid that the previous war would not have been defeated at all. The sergeants weren't even fully armoured. Even the ordnance is rusty, so how can it be combative? Those people under the command of the lowly army fought hard for two days before losing the city. None of them were intact, and if they hadn't been worried about regaining the lost territory in the future, they would have died in battle. ”

Fang Dejun thought of the soldiers under his command who got along very well, and the anger in his heart was even worse, "If it weren't for the collusion between the upper and lower generals. Embezzling the military funds of the imperial court and installing their own relatives and friends, how can the military and government in the southwest be so erosive and out of control? ”

Zhan Pohan has been busy collecting the defeated soldiers these days, but he doesn't know the inside story, and at this time, Fang Dejun's attack is just a target for the occasion, but he didn't expect to expose such a public case. When he saw the angry face of the person in front of him, his eyebrows and eyes were resolute, he suddenly fell in love again. He is also a person who has been ostracized, of course he knows that what the other party said is true, so he has a bit of ridicule on his face.

"I see. I didn't expect the southwest of the imperial court to be such a mess! He sneered suddenly.

The generals below were a little uneasy as early as when Fang Dejun explained the truth, and when he did not shy away from revealing the four words of collusion between the upper and lower levels, his face had completely changed. At this time, I saw that the manager was angry. The two generals stood up to defend themselves, and insisted that Fang Dejun had framed them, and there was a lot of trouble for a while.

"Shut up!" Zhan Pohan saw that there was really no rule below, and shouted suddenly. The generals were silent for a moment. But Fang Dejun was still full of resentful eyes, but he still stood proudly, looking fearless.

"This matter has its own public opinion, this general will report to the emperor later, if the southwest is really so deep, I am afraid that the emperor will immediately send someone to clean up after the war." Zhan Pohan quietly glanced at the two governors on the side, and said lightly. He saw that Fang Dejun was extraordinary, and he had the heart to test his courage, so he said sharply, "Fang Dejun, you are just making a lot of nonsense in front of others, but you are repeatedly flaunting the sergeants under your command, and now I ask you, how many military horses are left under your command?" ”

Fang Dejun bowed down and replied, "There are one hundred and twenty-four sergeants under the command of the lowly post, all of whom are warriors who escaped death. ”

"Very good, the general plans to take over Fanzhou, which is occupied by thieves in the near future, since you claim to be bold, the general will allocate some more people to you, make up the number of thousands of people, and serve as the vanguard, do you dare to take the military order?" Zhan Pohan's eyes were shining, and he held an arrow in his hand, staring at the person in front of him and asked.

Fang Dejun showed joy, knelt down on one knee and responded: "The humble position is a military general, and killing the enemy is a matter of duty, since the general has been appointed, the humble position is everything!" He stretched out his hands to answer the order.

"Good, good!" Zhan Pohan let out a long laugh, and then said to the others, "You are all generals of the defeated army, you must do your best this time, if there is any more bad pool, this general does not need to make an order from the court, and military law will not be merciless!" ”

Everyone knew that he was powerful in military law, so they hurriedly got up, but they secretly complained in their hearts. Fang Dejun has already put them together, if there is something wrong this time, I am afraid that Xiang Shang's head will really not be able to be saved. However, they thought that Fang Dejun was a pioneer, and maybe it would be impossible for them to come back alive this time, and they were relieved in their hearts.

"Lord Tang, Lord Hu." Zhan Pohan turned to the two governors who were a little restless beside him, "This time the imperial court uses troops in the southwest Africa, so the overseer army directly under you also needs to be dispatched together." "Hmph, just 50,000 troops dare to provoke the majesty of my Celestial Empire, those people are really impatient!"

What else could Tang Sihai and Hu Nanjing say at this time, they were naturally busy nodding their heads. Hu Nanjing even lamented his bad luck, Sichuan Governor Guo Hanjin was the emperor's confidant without a trace, at this moment if he made meritorious service, if he made a mistake, I am afraid that he will be demoted and punished lightly, and the lack of the governor of Sichuan will have to be handed over.

Zhan Po was quickly sent to the capital, and Feng Wuxian was naturally furious when he read the report. Although it has long been known that the malaise of eating empty quotas and embezzling military salaries in the army has been around for a long time, it is a great sin to make the use of troops in the southwest unfavorable. Above the court, everyone looked at each other, and everyone knew that it was wrong to say anything at this time, so they were cautious not to say a word. However, it is impossible for everyone to remain silent, and Bao Huasheng, who just officially took over the position of prime minister a few days ago, is among them. Whether it is for the country or for himself, he, the prime minister, always has to come up with a statement.

"Your Majesty, the accumulation of shortcomings in the army has always been like this, but this time it happened to encounter the military disaster in the southwest, and the attack brought a catastrophe at the right time." Bao Huasheng said impartially according to the conclusion that he had discussed privately with Hai Guanyu yesterday, "What the garrison said may be true, but it should not have occurred at that time, you must know that the morale of the army is the heaviest, and the practice of questioning the boss like him is at least arrogant and arrogant!" Fortunately, General Zhan handled it properly, and let him serve as the vanguard of the army, otherwise the hearts of the other generals would be completely messed up. ”

"Then according to Bao Aiqing's meaning, this matter can only be put first?" Feng Wuxian asked expressionlessly, "I don't understand, these people who are in front of the commanders of the army only know that they are full of food and drink, and they dare to let the sergeants wear torn armor and carry rusty weapons to kill the enemy, this courage is not necessarily too great, do you think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and I will never know?" He swept down the officials again, and said intentionally, "Some people know that they are self-righteous, and they think that others can't see his mistakes, but they never think about the consequences of what they have done, but in the end, they lose their wives and soldiers!" ”

He Weitao's face suddenly changed, and he peeked at Xiao Yunchao's face uneasily. Sure enough, although Xiao Yunchao, who had never been deep in the city, wanted to remain calm, the expression on his face that was almost spasmodic still betrayed what he thought in his heart. Knowing today, why bother at the beginning, He Weitao sighed in his heart, but looked elsewhere.

"Your Majesty, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are inspected, there will be no fugitives, this matter is really urgent." Hai Guanyu also stood up and slowly persuaded, "Those soldiers and people who died in vain are indeed regrettable, but at this time, the war should be taken seriously, and it is not too late to settle the sins of those generals in the future." The world has been peaceful for several decades, and the garrisons in various provinces have been lax, so it is better for the military department to send people to conduct detailed inspections in the future, so as to prevent these things from happening again. Although he resigned as prime minister, Hai Guanyu's bachelor's title has not yet been handed over, and he knows Feng Wuxi's intentions, so as long as his body can still support it, the shadow of this old man is still indispensable in the court.

"Hmm." Feng Wuxian responded a little unwillingly, and let the matter go for the time being.

However, today's court discussion is destined to be uncalm. Yin Yang Zhen of Shuntian Mansion thought about it again and again, and finally came out to report: "Your Majesty, there are many nursery rhymes circulating in the capital recently, among which there are often forbidden words such as "there are two days in the sky." Wechen sent a lot of people to investigate, but unexpectedly discovered a cult-like group. Although only some deceived villagers were arrested, it is said that this religion flowed from the homes of officials in the capital, and it was even rumored that it had the effect of avoiding evil and seeking children. Weichen knew that this matter was not trivial, so he could only report to the emperor. ”

The hearts of the people are full of agro, since ancient times, when the cult was rampant, it was the beginning of the people's disobedience. Which of the people who rose up to raise trouble did not intend to subvert the society under the guise of the Mandate of Heaven? Feng Wuxian was even more furious, however, he knew that his current identity was different from the past, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and sneered: "Very good, such a cult is actually spread from the official eunuchs' house, what a lot of courage!" He stared at Yang Zhen below for a long time before continuing, "Yang Zhen, you, the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, are quite competent, and you finally didn't wait for the matter to be out of control before reporting it." This matter will be handed over to you to investigate, and you must find out the mastermind behind the scenes! ”

Yang Zhen hurriedly bowed his head, he knew how difficult it was to find out those who used the cult to deceive and even plot against him. However, for the sake of his future and glory and wealth, he had to gamble, otherwise Shicai didn't have to say anything at all, as long as he blindly concealed it. Shuntian Mansion Yin is just the official title of the third grade, and it is still early to be the best master of his dreams. Since others can pave the way with blood, what does it matter if you use your own life as a gift of advancement? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have an extremely happy smile on his face.
