Chapter 354: Fear
Among these rough blanks, Cao Yingjia was the one who reacted the fastest, and he was the first to understand. "Qincha, I report, I expose. The champion Hou took advantage of his position to bring 300 catties of gunpowder from my artillery camp, but he did not know where to go. There is no order for this matter, and there are no formalities, and in the end, it has to be consumed by the drill of the official report to cover up the past. According to him, it was for his relatives to open mines and bomb mountains, but now that I think about it, it is clear that he is financing anti-thieves and secretly hiding arms. ”
Several other generals looked at each other, desperately recalling the incident. One of them said: "Zhongjun, are you mistaken?" The last general has been in charge of the powder keep, and I don't remember that the champion Hou mentioned such a military supply. Did you remember badly? ”
Cao Yingjia scolded secretly in his heart, and said, "Impossible." I'm sure I'm not mistaken, it's you who remember! Hurry up and give me all the things that the champion Hou secretly resold ordnance, withheld food and salary, and plotted against me. Don't you hear, Chin Cha wants an attitude. If you don't show this attitude, do you still want to pass the test? Do you want to live anymore? ”
At this time, those rough billets came to their senses, and one by one, their spiritual senses were opened, and they recalled the various lawlessness of the champion Hou. From deducting money and food, to illegally supporting military weapons, and later, some people opened their brains, saying that the champion Hou had secretly worn the imperial robe at home, and was seen by himself, stole a few foreign cannons in the barracks, and exchanged posts with the instructor of the Francophone to worship his brother, and wanted the other party to be the artillery instructor of the rebels.
Zheng Guobao saw that the more he said, the more outrageous it became, so he had to reassure everyone, "This mood is good, and the attitude is sincere, but you must pay attention to the degree, you must pay attention to the degree." I don't even believe that. How do you write it? You have to communicate with each other, make it a little more round, and don't make the flaws too obvious, you know? ”
Although the products of these rough brains are often absurd, some useful information can still be found in the sand. This information, under the operation of Zheng Guobao, that is, the soldiers of the artillery battalion, is not afraid of the crown thief Yinwei. Resolutely report and expose his crimes. Steadfast in the fight against the rebels. It reflects the vast number of border army officers and soldiers, loyal to the Son of Heaven and loyal to the imperial court, the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and all the people are happy and convinced. Any attempt to challenge the authority of the Great Tomorrow. It's all against the tide. will inevitably be crushed into slag by the wheel of history, and it will never be able to turn over.
Those who led the troops were promised by Zheng Guobao, and they would be publicized as exemplars. From the suspected thief to the same party. He turned into a staunch feudal warrior, fought against thieves to the end, and never compromised as a good officer of the Ming Dynasty, becoming a model for the new generation of the army. In the future, when the imperial court trains artillery battalions, they can all go out and bring a battalion leader. When these generals heard this, they were grateful, and they longed to kneel down and kiss Qincha's boots.
Only Cao Yingjia knew in his heart that after these people were transferred, they would definitely not be able to take away their cronies, but they were transferred to a strange camp alone, and the soldiers around them had no cronies, and even if they were among the pro-soldiers, they might have to be placed along the Jinyi Guard. From now on, they will be the object of restricting their use and controlling their use, and it will not be easy for them to achieve much in their official positions.
When these people went out, Zheng Guobao said to Cao Yingjia: "Cao Zhongjun, you don't have too much pressure, I'm going to say a word too much here, I will protect your position." As long as I am here, I will keep you as stable as Mount Tai, and I will never waver in the slightest. However, some of your men may have to be transferred out of the camp to serve in other battalions. This artillery battalion is an important place, and it is not good if there are fewer people, and it is not good if the manpower is unreliable. There are a few candidates for this officer. But you also know that I'm a gentleman, I don't know anything about leading troops to fight, and the recommended people may not be used, but you still have to take the big idea, I just provide a few names, General Cao is interested in listening to it? ”
The soldiers outside did not know that soon the artillery battalion would enter a new era, and more and more people from the southern Zhejiang military system would enter the artillery battalion, and even later, the artillery battalion of the National Dynasty changed from the monopoly of the northern army to the northern and southern artillery battalions, and the situation in which each had its own strengths was also started today.
At this time, the soldiers only knew that they had just gotten rid of the brink of danger, from being suspected of being a thief, to becoming the most loyal soldiers of the imperial court and the most reliable troops of the country. The best wine and meat, and the gold and silver of white flowers, are the reward for them and the proof of their loyalty. On weekdays, the food is sufficient and the food is good, but who doesn't want to eat this wine and meat casually, and everyone pays silver? As for whether the silver was copied from the champion Hou's family, few people cared. Now, if someone mentions rebellion, without the shouting of the uncle, these artillery battalion soldiers will also beat that person to death. I finally got out of danger, and there is still good wine, good meat, and good silver, and we have eaten too much to support it, so we will rebel against you.
After pacifying the artillery battalion, Zheng Guobao led a large group of men and horses the next morning and returned to Heimu Cliff. The officials of the Dengzhou Mansion and the unlucky Xiezhen were all pulled back to the Black Wood Cliff by cart, and the Jinyi Guard began the systematic interrogation. Those civil officials were tough at first, but when they learned that they were involved in a major Demon Sect case this time, they all lost their temper. The identity of a civil official is a talisman, but it is necessary to divide things. The Demon Sect is a high-voltage line, and it is only a thin line away from Tongwei Tongmeng, and if you touch this line, no matter what your identity is, you will die. Heimu Cliff is right under your nose, you say that you are not colluding with the Demon Sect, but you are just incompetent and confused, who believes it?
These people are also wronged, the Ming officials do not go to the countryside, and the imperial court's ability to control the countryside is weak. In addition, the Demon Sect made money and had an old official to cover it up, how did those officials know that they were covering up, and they were actually such a terrible ancestor.
And those officials, some of them received money from the Demon Sect, and some of them were simply disciples themselves, and they often had high titles such as elders and Dharma protectors, and they also enjoyed the privilege of not separating men and women into camps, and regularly visiting the women's camp to stay overnight, so it is not surprising that the Demon Sect is covered. However, Jin Yiwei has never been a reasonable person, it doesn't matter whether such a confession is true or not, the important thing is whether it can satisfy Uncle Guo. As long as you are not satisfied, then I'm sorry, that is, our Jinyiwei hospitality is not in place, the guests are not comfortable, and they refuse to tell the truth, so they have to work harder.
This is not a Jingshi, and there are not as complete guys as in the Imperial Prison, but the equipment of the Sun and Moon God Sect's own torture hall is also powerful enough. If you try the same thing, the iron man will also turn into water, and those Wenchen will be even more unbearable. Zheng Guobao didn't have the heart to coax those civil officials, his mind was on the champion Hou.
"It's dangerous, it's dangerous. This dog thief has three battalions of soldiers and horses, and they are all elite divisions that have fought old battles, if he really raised troops in Shandong, it is the standard battalion of the governor of Shandong, and he may not be able to beat him. The most beautiful work that Yang Lianting has done is to rebel against the champion Hou. Looking at the confession of the champion Hou, Zheng Guobao was also afraid.
Champion Hou Hao is also a ruthless person who has been mixed up in the border pass, and he has been boiled out on the battlefield of life and death, and he has a very good set of punishments, and it is not easy to pry his mouth open. It's a pity that his son doesn't have as hard bones as Lao Tzu, Jin Yiwei punished his son in front of the champion Hou, but he used two or three sets of criminal laws, and when he heard his son's scream, the champion Hou had to sigh and recruit whatever he wanted.
Yang Lianting has indeed invested a lot of money in the champion Hou. first bought his family's door, and then bought the housekeeper, buying it layer by layer, and there were demonic eyeliners everywhere in his house. Later, with the help of these people, Yang Lianting got in touch with the son of the champion Hou, and then made friends with Lao Tzu through his son. Especially the only son of the champion Hou, he did some shady things outside, and Yang Lianting erased the traces for him, and at the same time, he just got the handle.
Champion Hou had the intention to come directly to the three camps to suppress and send Yang Lianting to the west completely. However, Yang Lianting was very good at handling this matter. On the one hand, he sent money to women, and the champion Hou gave whatever he liked, and on the other hand, he said that those handles were not in his hands, but in the hands of a friend who had a lot of ways to do it, and it also showed the important information that he had someone above him.
Under the influence of several aspects, the champion Hou did not dare to kill him, and he fell deeper and deeper. It is not surprising that it even had to be reduced to the internal response of Banzhou's army. Yang Lianting even proposed several times to buy a few cannons, and the champion Hou used the method of exercise loss to fool the past. However, the champion Hou knew that Li Chengliang attached great importance to the artillery battalion, and in the previous two bombing incidents, not only the parties were punished, but the wreckage of the cannon also had to be inspected by someone from the Li family before stopping, so he refused. Otherwise, Heimu Cliff is afraid that it will really have the support of foreign cannons. (To be continued......)
