Chapter 109: Shielding or Punishing?

After Li Wentong and Heguaddo left, Zhao Ziliang immediately called for Zhou Shancun, the patrol captain of the Capture Mansion, who was an officer in charge of military discipline in the garrison, and there were dozens of people under him.

Don't look at the word Shancun in Zhou Shancun's name, but this guy is definitely not a kind person, he was originally a deputy head catcher of the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion, he is upright, decisive and ruthless, and never shows mercy to others, so the popularity of the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion is very poor, not only the fast catchers and colleagues don't like him, but even many of the officials hate him to the bone, and most officials hate him, but this person is quite capable, half of the cases in the Governor's Mansion and the Yamen of the City Lord's Mansion are handled by him, and he does it beautifully, This is also the reason why those officials, although they don't like him, don't take him down casually. However, people like him make trouble to the point that everyone hates or even hates him, and he really can't do it in the yamen, just a few months ago Zhao Ziliang came to take up the post of guard and capture envoy, and he wanted to vigorously rectify military discipline, but there was a lack of talents in this area, and Li Wentong and Zhou Shancun were personal friends, and he understood Zhou Shancun's personality and talent, so he did not avoid relatives and recommended Zhou Shancun to Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang had a very speculative conversation with Zhou Shancun, and he also had some understanding of his talent and personality, so he abolished the original patrol lieutenant on the spot and appointed Zhou Shancun as the patrol lieutenant of the garrison to take charge of the problems of violations of rules and discipline by the officers and men of the garrison. With the strong support of Zhao Ziliang, Zhou Shancun soon did a good job in this position, and the army's military appearance and discipline and military atmosphere were quickly reversed, and Zhou Shancun also fell into the nickname of "King of Zhou Yan".

When Zhou Shancun walked into the main hall, Zhao Ziliang was writing a letter to Fu Meng Lingjing, reporting in detail the specific process of the battle with the Turgish.

"General, my subordinate Zhou Shancun came to report, I heard that the general has something to find his subordinates?"

Zhao Ziliang didn't look up, his right hand continued to write letters with a brush, and his left hand pointed to the side: "Sit, wait a minute!" ”

Zhou Shancun arched his hand and knelt lightly on the blanket next to him.

After half a ring, the letter was finally written, and Zhao Ziliang shouted: "Who is outside the door?" ”

Chu Ge, the chief of the guard, strode in and saluted: "General, today is a subordinate on duty!" ”

Zhao Ziliang finished the letter and handed it to Chu Ge and said, "Send someone to hand over this letter to General Fumeng!" ”

"No!"

After Chu Ge left, Zhao Ziliang said to Zhou Shancun: "Just now the city lord's mansion chief Shi Hegu Ado came to the Shou Capture Mansion to ask the general for justice, saying that yesterday when our cavalry pursued the turk cavalry at night, they scourged three families in a Qiuzi village thirty miles north of the city, an old man died, and two women were ruined. I want General Ben to hand over the people to them! The general can't listen to their words, this matter is very important, the general wants you to personally bring people to investigate and verify the situation, at present, the bitter masters are placed in the inn in the city, you can take people to ask them some questions, for reference and confession, as soon as possible to investigate the matter clearly, if there is really something, then who did it, everyone must find out, not a single person can be missed, this general wants to listen to you to report in detail what happened. In addition, General Ben doesn't want the bitter masters to suffer any more harm, and must strengthen their protection, if there is any problem, General Ben is the only one who asks! ”

Zhou Shancun immediately agreed: "No! ”

Unexpectedly, before an afternoon, when it was almost dark, Zhou Shancun came back and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "General, in the afternoon, my subordinates personally took people to the barracks to investigate the matter and found out some of the situation, but when the subordinates rushed to the inn in the city, they found that the bitter masters were gone, and when I inquired with the shopkeeper of the inn, I learned that someone in the city lord's mansion had given the bitter masters some money, and the bitter masters were worried that the officials would protect each other, so they took the silver money and left!" ”

Zhao Ziliang frowned and asked, "Do you know who gave the money to the bitter masters?" ”

"It seems that the city lord Pan-sama sent him, and his subordinates heard that the city lord's governor, Shi Heguado, who was in charge of this matter, was reprimanded by Iwa-sama, and ordered him not to meddle in this matter again, and also suspended him from his post and let him go home and rest for a month!"

Chu Ge, the head of the guard standing next to him, couldn't help but say happily: "General, this is a good thing for us to guard the Capture Mansion, since the bitter master is no longer pursuing it, we don't have to be in a dilemma about this matter anymore." Besides, those soldiers were chasing the Trolls at that time, and it was late at night, they didn't carry dry food, they were cold and hungry, and it was inevitable that people would do these things under such circumstances! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ziliang turned his head to look at Chu Ge, and asked calmly, "What do you think?" ”

When Chu Ge saw Zhao Ziliang ask this, he suddenly felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "The general forgives the sin, the subordinates just don't want to embarrass the general, after all, the soldiers have no merit and hard work!" ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "You think about General Ben, how can General Ben not know?" It's just that there are some things you still don't understand, and you'll understand when you become a general in the future! Go and tell Li Wentong to inform the officials and captains above the seventh rank of the Guarding Mansion and the commanders and captains of the battalions in the army to come to discuss the matter within half an hour, let's go! ”

The officials and generals who were notified quickly rushed over and sat on Zhao Ziliang's left and right sides.

Li Wentong got up and said, "General, everyone is here!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Okay, since everyone is here, let's start the discussion!" First of all, let's talk about the situation of yesterday's battle with the Turgish, our army killed and captured more than 2,900 people, and the news we got is that the Turgish people came with 3,000 people this time, and there should be only a dozen people who are still on the run, and the person who commanded the army, Du Modu, is a close minister of the Turgish Shituhuo Immortal Khan, and he is also among these fleeing soldiers! This man is cunning and cunning, and it would be a great disaster to let him escape, so it is best to be able to catch him, and if you have the opportunity to meet him, if you cannot be captured, you must get rid of him at all costs! ”

Everyone said in unison: "No! ”

Zhao Ziliang said again: "This battle our army has achieved a lot of results, and there are not many casualties, the soldiers are all meritorious, this general has asked the judge Dou to report to the town guard mansion, and the meritorious soldiers will be rewarded, of course, the town guard mansion personally rewards only the captain level, as for the rewards of the meritorious people below, we have to let us guard the mansion." Lord Dou, you should start counting the meritorious soldiers as soon as possible, and hand over the roster to the general for review after you get it done! ”

Judge Dou Ming got up and arched his hand and said, "Obey!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said again: "Okay, this matter is over, then let's talk about another thing." Late yesterday night, one of the cavalry of our army who pursued the turbid cavalry rout killed three families in a Qiuzi village thirty miles north of the city. ”

Zhou Shancun got up and said: "The specific situation is like this, because our army went out of the city to fight in a hurry, so the soldiers did not carry dry food, although the baggage team followed behind the army, but because the turriots were defeated too quickly, the general immediately ordered to chase and kill, so the cavalry of our army who pursued and killed the turks did not have dinner, and now it is winter, the weather is cold, and the wind and snow are heavy outside, and in the second half of the night, many soldiers can not stay hungry and cold, and have to find a village to eat on the spot, so there is a conflict with the villagers and people at that time, in the process of conflict, An old man in one family was pushed to the ground and died by a soldier of our army, and there were two other women who looked a little good, and six soldiers of our army couldn't bear to spoil them after they were full of wine and food, and this is the way it is, not complicated, but not simple! ”

Zhao Ziliang knocked on the case, "I heard it, this kind of thing happened in our army!" Of course, this kind of thing may often happen in other military towns or other armies, and the generals and generals in various places may have been accustomed to it for a long time, and they will not ask about it, but here in this general, we cannot but deal with it, you say, how should this matter be handled? ”
