Chapter 772: After the Merit

Located in the hall of the Beiwang Mansion in Beijing, looking at the battle report sent by Wang Feng, the governor of Liaodong, Wei Zheng's face was still calm just now, and he directly turned blue.

After slamming the document in his hand on the desk in front of him, he scolded loudly: "What is this Xiang Hui doing, this king is asking him to reinforce Liaodong and listen to Wang Feng's command...... He was good, after arriving in Liaodong, not only did he not listen to Wang Feng's command, but also sat on an equal footing with Wang Feng...... Who gave him so much power...... Doesn't he know that he is a small division commander? It just doesn't make sense......"

Seeing that Wei Zheng was still planning to continue scolding, Sun Chengzong, who was standing in front of him, hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, is there something wrong with the guard division in Liaodong......

"See for yourself...... If it weren't for Wang Feng's timely rescue regardless of his previous suspicions, more than 10,000 veterans of the guard division would have been buried by Wang Feng in Liaodong! ”

"You must know that the more than 10,000 soldiers of the guard division are veterans selected from all over the army...... Any soldier can be a squad leader in other troops. Based on the guard division, as long as the king wants, he can expand into an army of 100,000 at will......"

"And this Xiang Hui directly lost more than 2,000 people to this king...... More than 2,000 veterans, in the eyes of this king, are more than 2,000 low-level officers......"

At this time, of course, Sun Chengzong would not add fuel to the fire in front of Wei Zheng, who was full of anger.

After taking a deep breath, he hurriedly replied: Lord Wang, this Xiang Shi Commander is indeed too underestimated...... As long as he is a little cautious, he will not be ambushed by Huang Taiji......"

"Underestimate the enemy......" Hearing these two words, Wei Zheng's face directly showed a mocking expression from the heart.

Then, without hesitation, he said, "Chief of Staff." Don't comfort this king...... Where is this to underestimate the enemy. It's just hubris. Arrogant to the point of boundlessness...... Thinking that he had won several battles, he became unpopular, not even Wang Feng, the deputy commander of the Tiger and Leopard Army......"

"Meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished...... This is a fundamental part of the establishment of my Tiger and Leopard Army, so Xiang Hui has made such a big mistake, and this king must be punished and ...... with military law."

"Tell the king's command. Withdrawn to the post of commander of the Hui Guard Division, demoted to the rank of colonel, and asked Wang Feng to arrange a position for her as a regiment commander in the army. Let him know that time is changing, and so are our opponents. At no time should we underestimate our opponents......"

"As for the position of commander of the guard division, for the time being, the chief of staff of the guard division will hold the position......"

After listening to Wei Zheng's decision, Sun Chengzong knew that the prince in front of him was really angry.

However, when he thought of Xiang Hui's identity. still couldn't help but remind: "Lord Wang, after all, Commander Xiang Hui Xiang is the brother-in-law of the military advisor...... There is a mistake in the use of demotion. I don't have any opinions...... However, is it too dangerous to send him to Liaodong as the head of the regiment like this...... After all, Liaodong borders Houjin, and big and small battles have never been broken. If one is not good, Xiang Hui, as the commander of the regiment, may die on the battlefield. You must know that today's Houjin Tartars are no longer what they used to be, and it is not impossible to eat one of our regiments......"

"If this Xiang Hui really has an accident in Liaodong, I'm worried that the military advisor will have an opinion......

Sun Chengzong's worries, of course Wei Zheng thought about it.

However, thinking about it, in Wei Zheng's eyes, there is one thing that no one can touch...... That is the army, as long as the army is in hand, no matter how chaotic it is elsewhere, there is no way to threaten its own strength.

And in front of him, Xiang Hui's matter directly reminded Wei Zheng of Luo Yangxing's reminder to himself a month ago......

After the smuggling case ended a year ago, a large number of veterans of the Haw Par Army who did not have much ability began to withdraw from the army and officialdom.

However, no matter what, they are all people who have made meritorious contributions to the Haw Par Army.

In order not to make them think that they were too ruthless, Wei Zheng gave them a large amount of financial compensation, and allowed them to draw at least one child from their offspring to join the Haw Par Army or officialdom......

At the beginning, the idea of the invincibility of the Haw Par Army has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of every veteran of the Haw Par Army.

In the eyes of these veterans, as long as they join the Haw Par Army, it means that a steady stream of combat exploits beckons to them again.

Coupled with the connections and connections of these veterans in the army, they believe that as long as these children join the Haw Par Army, it will not be long before they will grow into officers...... In this way, his family's position in the Haw Par Army will not be affected in any way because of his withdrawal.

However, it backfired......

Just when they thought that the Haw Par Army was invincible and there would be no danger in joining the Haw Par Army.

The well-trained Haw Par Army was defeated in successive battles on the Ganning scene.

In these defeated battles, more than a dozen of them were sent to the army by the family after their exploits, and all of them were killed.

In the face of this result, the rest of the merits will be directly stopped......

The purpose of their participation in the Haw Par Army is to be promoted, to make military achievements, not to send them to death.

Therefore, as soon as the battle between Ganning and Ningxia provinces ended, these former heroes of the Tiger and Leopard Army mobilized their sons and daughters of the front-line troops to the army where there was not much danger in the rear.

Such a big movement, of course, can't escape Luo Yang's eyes.

So, Luo Yang, who was very aware of the important position of the Haw Par Army in Wei Zheng's heart, immediately reported these situations to Wei Zheng.

When he first heard the news, Wei Zheng didn't pay much attention to it. After all, such people are still a minority in the Haw Par Army. Moreover, according to the military regulations of the Haw Par Army, although these people are safe after being transferred to the rear, it is difficult for them to be promoted......

However, Wei Zheng far underestimated the methods of these heroes of the Tiger and Par Army......

Although the rear army did not fight, they still managed to get the children of their families to join the Haw Par Army to be promoted and become officers......

Among all of them, the most eye-catching is the guard division commander Xiang Hui......

A year ago, when the Haw Par Army marched into the capital, Xiang Hui was only a battalion commander.

However, with some of the military exploits he made when he marched into the capital, coupled with the running of the military advisor Zhou Shuyuan. Xiang Hui, who was supposed to be the deputy head of the regiment, turned into a leader and directly became the head of the regiment......

In the follow-up counterinsurgency of handling the smuggling case, this Xiang Hui directly became the commander of the guard division.

Although Wei Zheng wanted to oppose it at the beginning, in order to alleviate the stiff relationship between him and the military division at that time, and also to give the military division some compensation. In addition, the guard division did not fight much, and the requirements for the division commander were not very high, so Wei Zheng agreed......

However, Wei Zheng did not expect that it was because of his lack of attention to this matter and his lack of attention to these feats that in the end, nearly 3,000 soldiers of the guard division were killed directly on the battlefield...... (To be continued......)
