Chapter 216: Heaven Collapses (22)
Few military attachΓ©s in the world dare to speak to civilian officials in a threatening tone.
In this era, the warriors were nothing more than vassals of the literati, who held the right to speak in this society.
It was taboo in this era that the authority of the literati was challenged by the samurai.
The most capable martial artist in this era is definitely not a simple martial artist. Not to mention, the two most outstanding generals in recent times: Shang Chuanren and Peng Chaodong. These two people are not pure martial artists, Peng Chaodong naturally does not need to be detailed, Peng Chaodong has the identity of the imperial examination and is the elite of the literati world.
In Peng Chaodong, you can find the temperament of a literati and the breath of a martial artist at the same time. Whether it is literature or martial arts, it is only one aspect of Peng Chaodong.
As for Shang Chuanren, although Shang Chuanren started with martial arts, after becoming famous, he wanted to join the circle of literati. Shang Chuanren befriended literati after becoming apparent, often reading late at night, and boasted of being a Confucian general. After some hard study, Shang Chuanren's cultural literacy has been greatly improved, and Shang Chuanren's cultural level is no worse than that of ordinary literati.
Shang Chuanren later participated in the imperial examination, and finally the emperor gave Shang Chuanren the merit of Tongjinshi. The literati community also accepted Shang Chuanren. It can be seen that Shang Chuanren, who is highly regarded by martial artists, is not a simple martial artist, and he also has a deep literati imprint.
In addition to these two people, the four great families of Liaodong also started with martial arts and were respected by martial artists. However, the current high-level leaders of the four major families in Liaodong also have a lot of ink in their chests. The cultural literacy of the high-level leaders of the four great families even surpassed that of many literati. For example, He Fangxiong's calligraphy also enjoys a high reputation in the literati world, which is also one of the proudest things in He Fangxiong's life.
Kong Xiangtao, as a martial artist, confronted Liu Shu, and of course Liu Shu couldn't bear it.
Kong Xiangtao sneered in his heart: Kong Xiangtao, who is a battalion general, is of course responsible, but Liu Shu cannot escape the blame. Kong Xiangtao's black income from drinking the blood of soldiers also flowed into Liu Shu's pocket. Liu Shu is not an incorruptible official.
"General Kong, although Teng Xiao has the control of the Jinmen Guard Treasury, Teng Xiao will not arbitrarily dispose of these military supplies." Seeing that Kong Xiangtao and Liu Shu had a falling out, He Tengxiao came out to play a round, the enemy is current, and civil and military discord is not a good thing, "As long as the brothers of the Jinmen guard resist Liao, Teng Xiao will never treat the brothers of the Jinmen guard badly." β
"Put your (mother's) shit!" Kong Xiangtao didn't have a good face for He Tengxiao, he didn't choose what to say, and his tone was very heavy, "It's originally our Tianjin guard's things, so you don't need to take the things of the Tianjin guards out and pretend to be a good person." β
ββββββββ
As Liu Shu described, there were many refugees stranded in the Jinmen Guards, and the streets in the Jinmen Acropolis were chaotic and chaotic. The streets were full of dense crowds.
Most of the crowd were war-like refugees dressed in ordinary clothes, and of course, there were also wealthy families and their entourage.
In addition to these two types of people, there is another group of people mixed in the refugee flow: deserters.
The Great Zhao Zhen Army was in a state of decline, and the strong Liao army was entering the customs at this time, and there were not many Zhen troops in Beizhili who dared to resist the Liao army. The town army of Huairou City and Sanhe City is a rare outlier in the town army, and the cultural relics officials of the two cities are very bloody, and they also blame the Liao army for being unlucky, and the two armies have collided with these two cities.
He Tengxiao didn't know whether it was better to describe these deserters as stupid or arrogant as arrogant.
A considerable number of deserters mixed with the tide of refugees still wore the red uniforms of the Dazhao Zhen Army. This bright red conspicuous military robe is tantamount to telling others: Lao Tzu is a deserter.
The Liao army broke through the border and entered the customs, and the entire Beizhili became a pot of porridge, and the local officials were wise to protect themselves, and more things were better than less things, although they knew that these people were deserters, but there were few who dared to come out to arrest deserters.
He Tengxiao stood on the city tower, with a good vision, and he could see the situation outside the city clearly.
"No one cares about these deserters who have fled from the front?" He Tengxiao frowned and asked Liu Shudao.
Liu Shu sighed: "Everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, who has the leisure to care about these deserters?" β
Liu Shu's idea represents the thinking of most officials in Beizhili now, and at present, many officials in Beizhili think so.
Not only the private armed forces of the wealthy clans, but also the deserters mixed in the refugee flow are also a big hidden danger.
Desertion is a capital offense, and these deserters who have undergone systematic military training may jump over the wall and pull the refugees into trouble in order to survive. The deserters who have received systematic military training are also quite tricky, and they have a higher combat effectiveness than the rebels, and they are much more difficult to deal with than the simple rebels.
"I'll take care of it." He Tengxiao sneered, the comrades on the front line were fighting bloodily against the invading strong enemy, but they fled south with the refugees, and the comrades on the front line were in disregard of life and death. What is the use of such an army?!
"Evergreen!" He Tengxiao called Chang Qing, "Take the brothers down and arrest all these deserters." β
"General, we are here to deal with the private armed forces of the Hao clan and provoke these Qiu Ba... Forehead... No... Deserters do it. Liu Shu's philosophy of life is that more things are better than less, He Tengxiao did not directly deal with the problem of the private armed forces of the wealthy family, but dealt with these deserters, Liu Shu was worried that He Tengxiao would put the cart before the horse and provoke unnecessary right and wrong.
Zhang Yuyang also felt that what Liu Shu said made sense, so many deserters, where did they take care of it?
"What Lord Liu said makes sense, there are too many deserters, relying on us alone, we can't take care of it at all, we don't need to care about these deserters." Zhang Yuyang said.
He Tengxiao shook his head: "It's not that I have to take care of these deserters, these deserters are no less harmful than the private armed forces of the Hao clan when they are mixed in the refugee ranks." It is easier to control them by having so many deserters mixed in with the refugee ranks, and it is better to keep them under control. If the private armed forces of the Hao clan stir up public resentment and invite civil unrest, why can't these deserters take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the refugees to cause trouble? β
said that the deserters took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the refugees to make trouble, Liu Shu's face changed suddenly, and his attitude towards the deserters also took a 180-degree turn: "Yes! Right! Right! What General He said is extremely true, these deserters who escaped from the battle are very hateful and must be severely punished! β
Zhang Yuyang also realized that his ideas were too shallow, but He Tengxiao was thoughtful in considering things.
"Take the deserters first to deter the private armed forces of the wealthy clan and cause psychological pressure on them. After all, the private armies of the Hao clan are not regular soldiers, and it may be easier to deal with them than to deal with deserters. β
He Tengxiao slowly said his plan, deserters and the private armed forces of the Hao clan were all targets he wanted to deal with. (To be continued.) )
