Chapter 523: Military Mutiny (4)
Out of the East Palace, being blown by the cold wind, Han Jian felt calmer.
Now what he wants is to completely solve the problem among the generals with the power of thunder. There are not many people around him who can be mobilized, so he has to adapt measures to local conditions, and when he arrives in the Wu'an Station, he mobilizes people and horses, and by the way, he replaces some important generals of Luoyang's defense.
After all, Luoyang is under martial law, and there are many cards on the road at night. Han Jian didn't know as much about the terrain of Luoyang as he did about Jiangdu, and he wasn't too familiar with how to get through the streets and alleys.
By the time he arrived at the Wu'an Institute, it had already been half an hour, and the lights in the Wu'an Institute were dim, so there should be few people left on duty.
"Temple...... Your Highness ......"
A soldier who was dozing at the door suddenly looked up and saw that it was the king of the east who came in person, and he was startled, and the whole person almost fell down, and hurriedly saluted, looking like a thief.
"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, "Why are you just guarding outside?" ”
As he spoke, Han Jian looked at the soldier, who was just an ordinary soldier's clothes, looking very burly, but it was just an empty shelf, and holding a spear seemed to be blown down by the wind at any time.
"This ...... This ......"
This man is obviously not fluent in speech, probably thinking that he made a mistake first, and if he is held accountable, he may be beheaded by the military lawyer.
"Don't speak, when you're derelict in your duties and don't want to live anymore?" Han Jian said coldly.
The man hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted: "Back to Your Highness, the villain is just a watchman, don't ...... It's not a soldier, I beg His Highness to spare the villain's life. ”
Han Jian frowned, watched the soldiers kowtow on the ground, and muttered, "See more?" ”
"Positive...... Precisely. The villain was originally just a husband, these two days. Somehow, the Shangguan above said that the villain has the potential to be a soldier, and asked the villain to be a janitor here for the time being, and said that he would pay the villain, the villain...... There are old and young, so I think this errand is good. I agreed. ”
Han Jian smiled coldly and said, "This is quite unusual. A husband actually watched the door at the yamen, what about the soldiers who were originally stationed here? ”
"Little ...... The villain doesn't know ......"
Han Jianxin said that he would not come out at night on weekdays, and he would actually condone such a group of subordinates who neglected their duties. It may also be that after being stationed in Luoyang City, the impetuousness of the army is more obvious, and he has an urge to split the people involved. On second thought, the important thing now is to find out who is involved first.
"Go in with the king!"
Han Jian snorted, and the soldier followed behind, looking terrified. Arrived at the Wu'an Institute. But there was still no one in sight, and in the hall where Wu'an was discussing on weekdays, there was only a tung oil lamp flickering, Han Jian looked around, not to mention that he was a general on duty, and there was not even a soldier on vigil.
"Where have all the people gone?" Han Jian looked sideways at the soldier who was following behind with his head bowed and said.
"Little ...... The villain doesn't know ......" The man's expression was a little evasive, obviously knowing but refusing to say.
Han Jian sneered: "Are you impatient and dare to deceive this king?" ”
"The villain doesn't dare. Villain...... It's to know some, those Shangguan. It seems that they went to Flower Street and Willow Lane, and the villain only knows so much, the villain is just a person who came to help, where they go, and they will not explain to the villain, and the villain only occasionally listens to them. After listening to it, it should be ...... Go to Flower Street Willow Lane, that's right. ”
Han Jian smiled, it seems that this soldier who was originally a husband is not useless. At least he knows how to read what he says, and where his boss has gone. Still pay more attention.
As he was talking, suddenly a black shadow came out from the direction of the inner hall, and the black shadow instantly paused and shouted: "Who! ”
When he stepped forward and saw that it was Han Jian, the man was suddenly shocked and kowtowed.
"Who are you?" Han Jian asked, looking at the kneeling man on the ground.
"Subordinate...... Li Lu, the star captain on duty in Wu'an, has seen the young son. The man on his knees said in fear.
"Li Lu?"
Han Jian thought about it, it seemed that it was a group of middle- and lower-level generals who had been promoted by Zhang Xing before, and he had seen this name in the promotion list. Seeing that this person does not seem to be from a military general's background, I think it should be a person from the military Chinese officer system.
"It's a subordinate." Li Lu kowtowed again.
"Why are you so frightened to see this king? Get up and speak. Han Jian shouted.
Li Lu stood up from the ground at this time, but he didn't dare to look up at Han Jian, the whole person was a little worried, but it seemed that there was nothing to be done.
"My subordinate just went to the toilet and came back...... When I saw the young man, I was a little frightened...... In fact...... The subordinates are just deserting. Li Lu stammered.
"Desertion? Do you know what a crime it is to be delayed if there is any urgent official document that has been delayed? Han Jian said angrily.
"The subordinates don't dare, so I ask the young man to be extra kind."
Saying that, Li Lu was about to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy again, but Han Jian carried him to stand firmly, and said, "The others went to look for flowers and ask for willows?" ”
Li Lu was surprised when he heard it, this kind of thing can also be known by the East King, so I don't know how many heads are about to fall to the ground today.
"Yes...... Yes......" Li Lu didn't dare to hide anything anymore, otherwise he himself knew that it would be difficult to protect himself. He didn't go today, not because he didn't want to go, not because he hadn't been, but because those fox friends and dog friends had to leave one or two people to guard the door before they went, so they left him in shifts. Now he felt that he might have seen a life, but this life was still hanging in the balance, and he might not be able to save it.
"Oh." Han Jian said suddenly, "It seems that the errand of Wu'an is really leisurely, and even at such times, there is still time to have time." Are all the brothels in the capital open? ”
And ...... The door was not opened. Li Lu said, "But the sergeant went, and he didn't dare not greet ......."
After Li Lu finished speaking, he realized that he had leaked his mouth. How can you say this to the king of the east about such a thing? That doesn't mean that he knows a lot about things, or even knows about it after he has been there.
Li Lu immediately added: "The military department has just issued a time to return to Jiangdu, and your colleagues think that they may be leaving...... This is a bit arbitrary, young boy, I still don't dare to slack off on weekdays......"
Han Jian smiled, he wasn't here to check on anyone's dereliction of duty today. No matter how nonsense these people are, it's just that they don't abide by military rules, if you want to talk about the impact, there may be an impact on those people in Luoyang City, but ordinary people can't even get out of their homes at night, and who knows that soldiers will be so "happy and happy" at night?
But the problem of meticulous work in the military is different, and once it breaks out, it may involve the stability of the entire military. Although Han Jian also wanted to immediately pull these derelict people out and behead them and make an example, when he thought of something important, he wanted to let them go for the time being. This Li Lu, because he knows that he is going to die if he violates military regulations, may do his best to protect himself.
"Forget it." Han Jian said, "This king is not an unreasonable person, the soldiers have been out on the expedition for a long time, and there is no confidant around them, and they are a little reckless, which should also be reasonable." But the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is inescapable, and now this king gives you a chance, whether you want to grasp it, or you want to die yourself, you can choose. ”
Li Lu originally thought that it would be okay if he was just punished a little, after all, what Han Jian said in the first half seemed to be reasonable. But after listening to the second half, he knew that things were not so easy.
"The subordinates dare not disobey the young man's wishes." Li Lu said.
"Okay, you go find twenty soldiers now, and I'll have someone follow you." Han Jian said.
Li Lu was a little surprised, Dongwang asked for someone, but he actually came to Wu'an to find someone? Wu'an was not originally a place for garrisons, there were some here on weekdays, just a few guards and on duty, and there would be things here at night, but there were battle reports from the front line, and then forwarded. Recently, because the fighting on the front line has subsided, there will basically be no emergency military situation at night, and it is too much to leave one or two people, so those who do things together will slack off and run to look for flowers and willows. And they are the captains of the Wu'an Institute, and they are officials who can move freely in the inner city of Luoyang, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they are also superior "generals", and they will be extra entertained when they arrive at Huajie Liuxiang, so that they know that they will be killed if they violate military regulations, but they are still happy to do it.
"Young boy, this ...... There is no one here. Li Lu was a little embarrassed, but he also sighed a little in his heart, he felt that the king of the east was deliberately trying to embarrass him, as long as he didn't do things well, he would still be killed.
"Then go where you can find people." Han Jian said angrily.
"Yes...... Be. ”
Only then did Li Lu remember that there was a dormitory next to the Wu'an Institute where the soldiers on duty rested, and there would be dozens of soldiers resting in it on weekdays, after all, the Wu'an Institute needed people to be on duty on weekdays, and it was not easy to transfer troops from other places.
"My subordinates will do it."
Saying that, Li Lu hurried away, and suddenly felt that it would be easy to find twenty people to come back.
Han Jian asked the guards to follow Li Lu, and when the others left, the entire Wu'an Institute was a little deserted.
"Husband, how are you prepared?" Yang Rui looked at Han Jian who was sitting calmly in the chair and asked puzzled.
After coming to the Wu'an Institute and discovering the problems in the Wu'an Institute, Yang Rui was actually very surprised in his heart, although the Dongwang Army was not a rigorous army, but Zhang Xing's department and Lin Zhan's department were both elite divisions in the Dongwang Army, why did they become so slack? Thinking about it again, it may be that Han Jian will always be attached to the palace at night, which makes the management of the guild's subordinates not strict, so that he has reached the point where he is today.
Now it seems that those who have dissenting hearts have not yet noticed it. It is necessary to dispose of it earlier. Han Jian said, "Wu'an is some distance away from the military office, and the Dongwang Army has a lot of garrisons in the inner city, but if it is said that it can be said that it can do anything, it has to be the manpower of Zhang Guard." But his people can't be called. ”
Yang Rui was a little embarrassed: "The people who are reliable in this Wu'an Institute, plus those people outside, are only a few dozen people, what can they do?" ”
"It's impossible to calm the situation, but if it is said to be a small punishment for chickens and monkeys, it is more than enough." (To be continued......)
