The capture of Yiju was a victory worthy of more celebration, but a controversy about the next move inevitably broke out, and it was the deputy commander-in-chief Zu Dale who triggered this controversy.

Zu Dale's personality is straightforward, if it weren't for Zu Dashou's dissuasion, he would have poured out the dissatisfaction in his heart a long time ago, but despite Zu Dashou's dissuasion, Zu Dale still expressed his worries when discussing his next move, so that it caused a fierce debate.

The fuse of the controversy was provoked by Qian Qianyi.

Follow Chen Xinjia into Yizhou City, see the devastation, as a great Confucian Qian Qianyi, can't suppress his anger, he thinks that the fight should be carried out between the soldiers, so treat the people, it is really a sin, but in front of Chen Xinjia, Qian Qianyi is not easy to say, after all, Chen Xinjia is the commander of the battle, everything that happens in Yizhou City, has a direct relationship with Chen Xinjia, the more the sergeant's behavior, it is also the commander's unshirkable responsibility.

That night, Zu Dashou, Zu Dabi, Zu Dale and other major officers came to the Chinese military camp, which was set up in the original official office in Yizhou.

Outside the Chinese military camp, the guards are heavily guarded, the border troops are cleaning up the battlefield, and from time to time you can still hear the screams of men and women, as well as the miserable cries of children, all of which means that Uiju has just suffered a cruel baptism of war.

Chen Xinjia's face was calm, Qian Qianyi's face was angry, and Tang Haitai's face was indifferent.

As soon as Zu Dashou and the others sat down, Chen Xinjia spoke.

"Today's attack on Yizhou, the soldiers have worked hard, Ben Shuai can't think of it, the morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow, and they all say that the Houjin Tartar is brave and invincible. Ben Shuai thinks that's the case, but a large number of Houjin Tartars fled in wooden boats, which is the defect of this attack on Yizhou, and the army must make more detailed considerations for future expeditions. Kill the Houjin Tartars to the maximum, the location of Yiju is special, and this can't be completely blamed on the soldiers, with their backs to the Daling River, it is difficult to implement a comprehensive encirclement, so that the Houjin Tartars seized this opportunity......"

In the process of commenting on this battle, Chen Xinjia avoided talking about the burning, killing, raping and looting in Yizhou City, and it was impossible for him to talk about this matter, if he really said it. It's a criticism of oneself.

After Chen Xinjia finished speaking, Qian Qianyi quickly spoke.

"The commander is meritorious, the judgment is accurate, and the army successfully took the city of Yizhou, which is something to celebrate, but I have a different opinion, and the commander is unwilling to say it clearly, so I will say it."

Qian Qianyi's tone of voice was wrong. Chen Xinjia knew what Qian Qianyi wanted to say, but it was too late to stop it.

Qian Qianyi's expression was wrong. Chen Xinjia has long wanted to communicate with him alone, but such a thing is very difficult to say, in his heart, Chen Xinjia is also against the slaughter of the city, but when Chongzhen was four years old. Chen Xinjia once went to Liaodong and witnessed the atrocities of the Jin Tartars in the future, and he could understand the hatred of the border army, plus he thought that the border army was fighting. It is inevitable that there will be anger, and it is a very common situation to counter violence with violence and retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and there is no great deal of greatness.

"General Soldier Zu, you are commanding the army to fight directly, the officer doesn't understand, this battle is a contest between the army and the border army, how can it involve the people, after the army breaks the city, it should maintain order in the city, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, Yizhou returns to my Ming Dynasty, the people are cheering, these people should be my Ming people, but seeing the atrocities of the sergeant, the officer can't help it, the officer once asked the sergeant, why do you want to kill, the sergeant's answer, Say that these people are all Houjin Tartars, they are all spies, take 10,000 steps back, and the men will not talk about it, maybe when our army is attacking the city, we will assist the Houjin Tartars, but what are the sins of women and children, are they also Houjin Tartars, and they are also spies......"

Qian Qianyi's emotions were very intense, and he was full of righteous indignation, and when it came to the back, it was no longer an inquiry, but an accusation.

Qian Qianyi was talking about the truth, and in the border army, because of the competition for property, there was almost infighting, but fortunately, Zu Dashou and others found out in time and quickly stopped it, so when Qian Qianyi said this matter, Zu Dashou lowered his head and did not speak.

Zu Dale, who had a straightforward personality and a fiery temper, couldn't help it, after Qian Qianyi finished speaking, he saw that Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi were both bowing their heads and silent, and couldn't help but speak.

"Marshal, Lord Qian, if you want to say that the sergeant slaughtered the people after capturing the city of Yizhou, such things may exist, but this can't be completely blamed on the sergeants below, the subordinates are responsible for commanding the battle, leading the sergeants to attack the city and pull out the village, and act according to the requirements, if Lord Qian gave an order in advance, after capturing the city of Yizhou, Qiu did not commit any crimes, and the sergeant did not dare to mess around, the sergeant was red-eyed, after entering the city of Yizhou, it was difficult to distinguish between the Tartars and the people, and the subordinates thought of safety, who knew that in the city of Yizhou, Is there a spy of the Houjin Tartars, in such a situation, there is the current ending, if Lord Qian wants to hold him accountable, he still thinks about whether he has made a request in advance......"

Now that he has spoken, Zu Da Leke will not be so scrupulous, and after a crackling call, Qian Qianyi's face turned pale, and a faint blue color appeared, and Chen Xinjia's face was also slightly red.

Before Zu Dale finished speaking, Zu Dashou spoke.

"Zu Dale, what nonsense are you talking about, the marshal has already asked for it, but the sergeants below have not been able to control it for a while, so there is such a situation, if it is in accordance with military law, it must be dealt with, the marshal took into account the hard work of the sergeant, so he didn't mention this matter, don't talk nonsense."

Although Zu Dale's temper was short-tempered, he was very convinced of Zu Dashou, and when he heard Zu Dashou say this, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Seeing this situation, Chen Xinjia spoke again.

"The situation that Lord Qian said is also the truth, the killing in Yizhou City is indeed a bit excessive, but this responsibility, not the sergeant below, is the responsibility of the commander, when the matter is explained to the emperor, all the responsibility is borne by the commander, today's matter, the commander will not be investigated, but the next expedition, the commander must make it clear, not to hurt the innocent ......"

Chen Xinjia took the initiative to take responsibility, Qian Qianyi and Zu Dale have nothing to say, such a thing can be light or heavy, the emperor and the court are clear, the army is conquest, it is inevitable that there will be some killings, even in the period of exterminating the Liukou, the guards in all parts of the Ming Dynasty have the situation of killing good and risking merits, slaughtering the people at will, and the court has not pursued it, not to mention that this time it is the Golden Tartar after the expedition, it is impossible to investigate, the army captured Yizhou City, and the emperor is too late to commend him. Where will be pursued on such a small matter.

When Chen Xinjia said this, he actually meant that the big things turned into small things.

Qian Qianyi, who was puffing up, couldn't help but speak when he heard Chen Xinjia say this.

"It's not okay for the marshal to take responsibility alone, and I also have responsibility, but I remember that in Dalinghe City, when the marshal made the deployment, he specifically emphasized that the army must be strictly disciplined, not to harass the people at will, and not to harm the locality.

Zu Dale thought about speaking again, but Zu Dashou grabbed his arm, and saw that Zu Dashou's eyes were very cold, Zu Dale finally became obedient and stopped talking.

surrendered Zu Dale, and Zu Dashou also spoke again.

"Dashuai and Lord Qian have made requests, the main responsibility for such things that appear today lies with the subordinates, the subordinates are willing to bear it, he will end the battle in the day, and the subordinates must write a recital, specifically asking for guilt, the marshal and Lord Qian have made a request, but the subordinates have not been able to restrain the sergeants well, so some of the people in Yizhou City have suffered, and the subordinates have made a request not to slaughter the people before they come to the Chinese military camp."

Chen Xinjia looked at Qian Qianyi, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, he completely took responsibility, in fact, he was thinking about letting this matter go, not as an example, now the main task is to consider the next step of the action deployment, and strive to achieve a greater victory, according to the emperor's requirements, to be able to take Guangning, the army will complete the task, and the expedition will be a complete victory, as for whether the next step is to continue to act and cross the Liao River, it still needs to see the specific progress of the campaign, But Qian Qianyi just grabbed this matter and didn't let it go, wouldn't it be extremely pedantic.

Through the battle of Yizhou, let the sergeant vent his inner anger, and then make strict requirements, the commander bears all the responsibility, which is a two-pronged approach, so that the officers and sergeants below are convinced, but if this matter is not let go, not only the commander has a major death, but the officers and sergeants who command the operation are worried in their hearts, such a mentality will undoubtedly affect the next battle.

Qian Qianyi's understanding is completely the understanding of a scholar, and he does not take into account the current actual situation at all.

Coughing, Chen Xinjia spoke.

"Ben Shuai has just said, the past, don't continue to argue, Ben Shuai bears all the responsibility, it has nothing to do with Lord Qian, Zu Zongbing, you must stabilize the mood of the sergeant, the next battle will be more intense, boosting morale is the most important thing, Ben Shuai has predicted that the battle against Quang Ninh will be extremely tragic, today there are many Houjin Tartars, escaped by boat, Quang Ninh must be ready to defend."

Chen Xinjia's words did not mention the responsibility of Zu Dashou, but specifically pointed to Qian Qianyi, in fact, it was dissatisfaction with Qian Qianyi, and anyone could hear the meaning.

Qian Qianyi looked at Chen Xinjia, was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and said nothing. (To be continued......)
