South Park gathers to punish the defeated

Return safely and enjoy the family

South Park Jiyun Building, where the chief executive and the speed room staff met to discuss relevant important matters.

Pingzhang Military and State Affairs Han Yanxuan opened the case with a clear meaning: The content of today's meeting is to reward and punish the merits and demerits in the Northern Expedition, and how to arrange the Northern Expedition next. He also stated that if you have something to say, whoever says it correctly will do what he says, and he will never engage in a single word, nor will he overstep his authority.

Everyone agrees with the promotion and reward of generals who have won battles by attacking cities and plundering land.

Bi Zai met the old when he was strong, led the daring army to conquer Sizhou, in Lingbi Phoenix Mountain, stepped forward to cover the safe retreat of the army, the greatest credit, promoted to the general of Zuo Xiaowei, Zhenjiang Metropolitan Division of the Chinese army, award silver five hundred taels, Zhenjiang Wufeng Army commander Chen Xiaoqing and Bi Zaiyu led the army to conquer Sizhou, and Kehong County, and then defeated Lingbi, meritorious deeds, into Zhenjiang deputy capital, Jiangzhou control Xu attack Kexinxi County, grade from the seventh grade to the sixth grade, award silver two hundred taels, the leader of the loyal army Sun Cheng, Zhu Yu conquered Baoxin County, Each prize is 1,000 taels of silver.

There are different opinions on how to deal with the defeated generals.

Chen Zhishan, the left minister, said that the defeated officials should be punished, but the civilian and military generals should be treated differently, and the military generals should be dealt with more heavily;

Zhang Yan, a member of the Privy Council, believes that there will be victory or defeat in a war, and it is not appropriate to beat him to death with a stick if he fails once, and he should not be punished for the time being, so that he can wear the guilt and make meritorious service in order to observe the after-effects.

The Privy Council all agreed that Su Shicheng believed that defeat in the battle was to be punished, and it should be severe, so as to set an example and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

After everyone finished speaking, they all looked at Han Yanxuan, and Han Yanxuan said:

You have spoken very well, meritorious service is rewarded, defeat is punished, it is so natural and righteous in ancient times. The general principle is that it should not be too light or too heavy, and it is necessary to distinguish between civil and military affairs, depending on the specific situation.

Look at Huaidong first, and declare that Deng Youlong is not familiar with military affairs, does not play a role, and resigns from his post to retain the palace officials; The two Huai Xuanfu made Guo Ren's improper command, resulting in the defeat of Suzhou and the dismissal of his three officials; Guo Zuo and Li Ruyi were incompetent, defeated and humiliated the country, and were removed from their posts;

The second is the middle road, where the military department Shangshu and Jinghu Xuanfu make Xue Shu seem to be responsible for the leadership of the entire battlefield failure, and he is demoted to a general judgment; The pacification envoy of Jingxi, the deputy commander of Ezhou, and Wang Fubin had no way to command, and he was defeated again and again, and he was dismissed and arranged to govern Lingnan; Jiangzhou commanded Wang Dajie and Li Shuang defeated Shouzhou and Dengzhou, and was removed from his post;

Talking about the Western Front again, Qin Shifu, the commander of Xingyuan, led his troops to attack Fengxiang Mansion, but he was defeated without a fight, and he was removed from his post; Xingzhou commanded Yang Dongfang to attack Yanchuan Village but did not resist, and dismissed his three officials.

That's all for the punishment of officials, Han Yanxuan glanced at everyone: "If there is anything else to say, if not, move on to the next topic." ”

Zhang Yan saw that Han Pingzhang was in a good mood today, and signaled:

"I have something to say."

Han Yanxuan nodded in permission.

Although the commanders of the East and Central Roads did not go to the battlefield, they were both punished for their lack of command. Wu Xi on the Western Front is a family of military generals, and the Wu family army is also famous, leading 60,000 soldiers, and he has not been able to go down to Qinzhou for a long time, why don't you see the results. The battle report only said that the siege of Qinzhou military town, due to the weather and give up, whether it is true or not, this abandonment is a retreat, which is equivalent to a defeat, I think that this Wu Dashuai should also be punished, and ordered him to show the results to boost morale.

Right Minister Wei Youcheng supported: "What Zhang Shumi said makes sense, otherwise it is unfair." ”

Han Yanxuan said: "Then give Wu Xi an edict and instruct him to capture Qinzhou within a month, otherwise, demote him; Then he gave Cheng Song an edict and instructed him to bring the actual information of the Sichuan-Shaanxi battlefield. Then, decide what to do with it according to the situation. ”

Chen Zhishan, the left minister, agreed: "The king of the plains is very well arranged. ”

Qiu Zhongqing, the secretary of the Privy Council, raised his hand:

"King of the Plains, I have something to say."

"Say it."

What does this defeat and defeat on the frontline battlefield mean? At least it shows that the ability of these generals used is not good, and who recommended these generals should be held accountable for their actions, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

When he said this, everyone looked at Su Shicheng.

Wei Youcheng and Zhang Yan both agreed.

What should have come is still coming. Some people say that they should not take the initiative to fight this battle at all, and some people say that a scribe who copies and writes can also be in a high position in the capital and command the Northern Expedition, which is really unheard of. Yesterday, Emperor Zhao Kuo called him to express a similar meaning. It seemed that he couldn't protect it if he wanted to, so he reluctantly said to Su Shicheng: "Shicheng, you avoid it." ”

After Su Shicheng went out, everyone pointed the finger at him, and discussed and decided: remove Su Shicheng from his post.

Housekeeper report: Fan Zuliang and Han Qingsong asked to see each other, saying that they had something important to report. Han Yanxuan remembered, wasn't this Fan Zuliang injured and captured, why did he suddenly come to Beijing. It seems that something is wrong. Just take care of everyone and wait a minute, he has to deal with an urgent matter.

Fan Zuliang told the story of his capture and the rescue of Du Youde and Han Qingsong from beginning to end, Han Qingsong testified on the side, and handed over Du Youde's letter to Han Yanxuan.

After reading the letter, Han Yanxuan suppressed the anger in his heart: "Zu Liang, you have endured hardships, go home to recuperate first, and send Yushitai to verify tomorrow, as long as it is true, you will never spare Guo Ren, Guo Zuo, and Li Ruyi." ”

Back at the venue, Han Yan's face was tight, with a bitter and bitter attitude, and Zhou Yunluan hurriedly persuaded:

"King of the Plains, please calm your anger, don't be angry."

Saying this, it hooked the anger in his heart:

"Bastard, it's not a thing, it has no power to fight Jinbang, in order to grab merit and save your own life, attack your own people, how can such an army win? What a shame. He told everyone what Fan Zuliang said. Then, give the following command:

"Chen Xiang, let Yushitai send someone to Yangzhou tomorrow to verify, as long as it is true, immediately arrest Guo Zuo and Li Ruyi and cut off their dog heads."

The next meeting was very dull, and everyone didn't dare to say much, for fear of igniting the cannon barrel filled with gunpowder, and Han Yanxuan sang a one-man show:

Qiu Zhongqing went to Yangzhou on the same day to replace Guo Ren and serve as the envoy of Lianghuai Xuanfu, and Zhang Yan went to Xiangyang on the same day to replace Xue Shuxiang and served as the envoy of Jinghu Xuanfu.

Previously, Qiu Zhongqing had been asked to replace Deng Youlong, but he couldn't go because of Qiu's leg injury, considering that Guo Ren was a military general and it was appropriate for him to command, he canceled the appointment. With this appointment, Qiu had a new idea, and seeing that Pingzhang's face was so long, he had to swallow his words.

Fan Zuliang came out of Nanyuan, settled Han Qingsong and the other brothers, and went straight to his home. At this time, it was already dawn, and the door of the house was closed.

After knocking on the door, the doorman screamed in surprise, Fan Zuliang signaled to whisper, and asked if there was anyone else at home, and the doorman told him: Mrs. Tai is at home, Grandma Ye is here from Yongjia, and she looks forward to your return every day.

Fan Zuliang said: Let you be quiet, I'm afraid that you will chirp, what should the old man do if he can't stand it at first glance?

You take care of Sister-in-law Zhang, fry a few dishes, cook more, there will be thirty people to eat, go out to buy it, go and prepare.

Walking into his own wing, the door was closed, he knocked twice, and his wife Huang Yingying's question came, and the long-lost voice tugged at his heartstrings, "Yingying, I'm back." The voice was a little excited, and he pushed the door and entered.

Yingying heard the familiar voice, and saw through the light that her husband had arrived in front of her, and rushed over, "Fourth brother, you are back, and you want to die as a wife." ”

"Yingying, I miss you too." As he spoke, he took her cheek and kissed it. Seeing his wife's questioning gaze, "Don't say anything, go see Amei and the child." ”

When Amei saw her husband return, she was speechless with joy. Fan Zuliang glanced at his son and daughter, took the hands of his wife and concubine, and walked towards his mother's room.

The old lady listened to what the doorman said, and waited happily in the house with her mother-in-law, Qian. Seeing his son and daughter-in-law coming in, he hurriedly surrounded him and looked up and down.

The old lady clasped her hands together and said in her mouth: God bless, his father, the little ancestor Liang has returned safely. The mother-in-law asked with concern, are there any injuries?

Fan Zuliang replied: Yes, but it's much better. Then he told the story before and after, and his mother-in-law and his wife and concubine were in tears when they heard it.

Mrs. Fan said distressedly: "Zu Liang has suffered, I'll just say, this battle can't be fought, there are so many civil and military officials in the Great Song Dynasty, who dares to fight and who will fight?" My Fan family is brave and loyal to the country, worthy of the heavens, worthy of the people, and I will be blind to death. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly prepare food for the child." Mother-in-law reminded

Fan Zuliang responded: "It's been arranged, I'll invite those who saved me to have a few drinks later." ”

Mrs. Fan said, "I want to respect them. Take out the imperial wine given by the emperor, and prepare more good dishes. ”

Amei said excitedly: "I'll go and tell my eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”
