Chapter 773: The Crack Emerges
Thinking of this, an idea directly came to Wei Zheng's mind......
The more than 100,000 soldiers of the Haw Par Army are the foundation of their foothold in this troubled world, and no matter what, they cannot let the Haw Par Army have problems......
As a trace of a firm expression slowly appeared on his face, Wei Zheng directly opened his mouth and decided: "Chief of Staff, for the sake of the future of the Haw Par Army, this king has decided to carry out a purge of all the officers and men of the Haw Par Army to further improve the military regulations and military discipline ...... the Haw Par Army."
When he heard ......these two words, Sun Chengzong directly showed a confused expression on his face, and it was obvious that Sun Chengzong did not know the hidden meaning behind the word "purge".
However, Wei Zheng didn't let this question last too long on Sun Chengzong's face before he spoke......
"That's right, it's a purge ...... Inside, the expansion of the Haw Par Army is too fast...... In just two years, many officers have changed from ordinary officers of the Haw Par Army to officers, and even mid-level officers of the Haw Par Army at the battalion level......"
"If these officers were promoted by virtue of their military exploits, this king would not say much nonsense. However, among so many people, no one dares to guarantee that there is no abuse in the middle..."
Speaking of this, Wei Zheng directly took out a document, handed it to Sun Chengzong, and said...... "Look at this list, this is sent by Luo Yangxing to this king...... The people on the list are all after joining the Haw Par Army for about a year...... According to the military regulations and promotion requirements of the Haw Par Army, in one year, even if you make great achievements, you can only be a company commander...... But what about these people...... The lowest rank is the company commander. Paramount. He has even become the head of the regiment and the deputy head of the regiment......"
"If you really let these people go to battle with a regiment of soldiers. I'm worried that the officers and men of a regiment will be wiped out because of their command mistakes......"
After listening to what Wei Zheng said, Sun Chengzong's face slowly revealed an angry expression from the heart.
However, this anger did not last long and was replaced by worry......
After taking a deep breath, he reminded Wei Zheng: "Lord Wang, although there are not many of these people, but. Behind everyone stood a former regimental commander, even a division commander...... If the royal government acts rashly, I am afraid that it will cause unrest in the entire Haw Par Army......"
"In addition, many people have been promoted by military advisors, and I am worried that military advisors will ......"
Wei Zheng didn't want to interrupt: "Don't have so many concerns...... Do what you have to do...... "Today's Haw Par Army is no longer the Haw Par Army of a year ago, even if there is some turmoil, as long as they do not rebel, the imperial court and the Hou Jin Huang Taiji will not dare to provoke us...... So, what we have is time to deal with these turmoil. There is no need to worry about external influences......"
"Of course, now we also have to carry out a purge of the army. As Chief of Staff. You also know that within two years, we will definitely make a special move with the imperial court. Now we don't purge the Tiger and Leopard Army, and when the decisive battle comes, I am worried that because of the arrival of these people, the combat effectiveness of the whole army will not rise, but will fall......"
"The king's idea is that your general staff will organize, supervise and assist, go to all armies, conduct an investigation of all officers above the company level in each army, and find out all those officers who are fishing in troubled waters in the army and have no combat merits...... The use of demotion should be used for demotion, and those who should be dismissed from the army will be expelled from the army......"
In a word, this king wants to pass this purge and let the officers and men of the whole army know that in the Tiger and Leopard Army, no one can exceed military regulations and military law. Whoever violates military regulations and military laws will be punished......"
"In addition, you just said that these people can fish in troubled waters in the army, and regard military regulations and military law as child's play, if there is no force behind them, this king will not believe it. In order to avoid these people uniting together, all operations are to be carried out in secret before the operation begins......"
There is a good saying that paper can never contain fire......
Sun Chengzong had just left the Beiwang Mansion on his front foot and had not yet started to act. The news that Xiang Hui, the former commander of the guard division, was demoted to the regiment commander and transferred to the front line reached the ears of the military division Zhou Shuyuan.
After confirming the authenticity of the news, Zhou Shuyuan's face immediately became gloomy.
Xiang Hui is his brother-in-law, which is a well-known thing in the Tiger and Leopard Army, and Zhou Shuyuan doesn't believe that Wei Zheng doesn't know about it.
In addition, although the guard division was defeated, this defeat was not a defeat in the real sense.
After all, the main forces of the guard division are still there. As long as Wang Ye Wei Zheng is willing, he can completely ignore this defeat.
However, Wang Ye Wei Zheng did not do this, not only did he not do it, but gave Xiang Hui such a heavy punishment.
What is this for...... Target yourself...... Tong Guò demoted his wife and brother Xiang Hui to suppress his power in the army...... This was Zhou Shuyuan's first thought after hearing the news.
At this time, all kinds of dissatisfaction that had been accumulated in Zhou Shuyuan's heart for a long time were also exposed.
There is no doubt that this dissatisfaction is directed at Wei Zheng.
Since the expansion of the Haw Par Army, Wei Zheng has repeatedly suppressed himself. Not only did he not allow himself to expand his strength in the Tiger and Leopard Army, but he even directly cut off his own strength.
Thinking about it, an idea that he had never thought of before appeared directly in Zhou Shuyuan's mind......
The reason why Wei Zheng has done this in the past year is not really as his subordinates said. As the power of the Tiger and Leopard Army grows stronger, Wei Zheng has begun to attack the old man who followed him from the beginning, unloading the mill and killing the donkey......
If this is true, will he be like those old people who have completely quit the Haw Par Army, take the money compensated by Wei Zheng to him, completely give up his high-ranking officials in the Haw Par Army, and become an ordinary person......
The more you think about it, the more likely it becomes that this idea will turn into reality......
Just when Zhou Shuyuan's heart was filled with the idea of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, the old housekeeper, who was Zhou Shuyuan's confidant, suddenly walked up to Zhou Shuyuan and reported in a low voice......
"Master, Staff Officer Zhang of the General Staff Department asked to see him, he was very anxious, and he was ...... in the meeting room now"
"Staff Officer Zhang, didn't I sue him, and you must not take the initiative to see me unless you have to...... He came to see me in such a hurry, didn't he tell everyone in the capital, did he Zhang Staff Officer be the person arranged by Zhou Shuyuan in the staff department......"
However, scolding and scolding, Zhou Shuyuan still followed the housekeeper and hurriedly walked to the living room......
When Zhou Shuyuan appeared in the living room, Staff Officer Zhang was walking around in the meeting room with an anxious face.
What's more, this Staff Officer Zhang is still wearing a lieutenant colonel uniform...... Swaggering through the city to his own mansion.
Zhou Shuyuan, who was already dissatisfied with Staff Officer Zhang's coming, saw this, and the dissatisfaction in his heart became even stronger. (To be continued......)
