"Report to the general. There were more than 200 soldiers in the green battalion who stayed in the Fallen Horse Pass, and Captain Wang Yi dragged the tree to think that it was a suspicious soldier. The green battalion soldiers did not know whether it was true or not, and surrendered. After Captain Wang Yi entered the customs, he closed the gate and ordered the construction of fortifications, the sorting of ordnance, and the tight arming. Tanma stood in front of Xiao Mo and reported on 1510.

Xiao Mo had already sent a team of horsemen to aid Tang County, and when he heard the news, the boulder in his heart suddenly fell. She An was also drenched in cold sweat when she listened to it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the defeat is not lost, the northern soldiers cannot intervene in the main battlefield of the northern direct administration, and all merits and demerits will be dealt with after the war. Xiao Mo is not worried about his future, the highest military rank is only a general, he is only two steps away, and he is in the prime of life, why should he have no military merits in the future? What he was really worried about was the future of the 1st Guards Division.

Although he knew that the army of Lu Dao was not his private army, but he started from here and embarked on the road of becoming a general, and there were so many robes that fell halfway, if he could not let this battalion go to glory and achieve the prestige of the Qi family army and the white pole soldiers, what face would he have to meet his comrades who had unpaid ambitions?

In fact, the Qi family army and the white pole soldiers, and then the Yu family army, the wolf soldiers of the Jiajing Dynasty, and even the Tianxiong army of this dynasty...... These powerful armies that have become famous in history are all because of people. Once the leader left, the battalion fell apart, but it was never seen again for more than a decade. Thinking of this, Xiao Mo admired the title perpetuation system proposed by the crown prince even more. As long as you fight a big battle that future generations look up to, and get a flag emblem and title, even if you leave the army, this strong army will not collapse.

"Wang Yi has only been here for a long time, and he hasn't really fought with us, but he can also play the prestige of the first division and not fall into the reputation of the tank division. What is the military spirit? This is the soul of the army that His Highness said! Xiao Mo said to She An and the staff officers around him: "This matter, the division training department should not let it go, find a few talented people with good pen skills to write hard." It's best to be on the "Tiger Ben Newspaper". ”

Teacher Instructor Wei Yi nodded slightly, his qualifications were not enough to compete with Xiao Mo, but he still wanted to be independent in his own field of power and responsibility.

As a new generation of scribe instructors who had just been promoted, Wei Yi was more aware of his responsibilities in supervising the army.

The special favor given by the crown prince to the military generals has long made the ministers pantothenic, especially in military affairs, the military generals are even more in charge. In a word, it can be decided. How to protect these generals who don't read much from embarking on the road of no return to arrogance and domineering? It depends on staff and discipline.

Indeed, this seemingly balanced relationship is also a means of protection, otherwise there will be no room for recovery when the military judge intervenes.

Xiao Mo also had a hazy idea about this, and he would not deliberately get close to Wei Yitao, nor would he mind that the trainers would leave him. He is very glad that there is such a group of people, and he does not need to stigmatize himself to protect his military power, and he does not need to worry about the "high merit of the master" said by those sour and rotten literati.

Both the staff officers and the instructors have a optimistic attitude towards Wang Yi, a new star, and believe that the first battle of Tanghe is the cornerstone of Wang Yi's smooth promotion channel in the army.

The Judge Advocate General's Office does not see it that way. The main reason is that the battle loss ratio of the First Battle of the Tang River is too high.

The battle loss ratio of Wang Yi's troops was close to sixty percent, and it became a "miserable victory" second only to the battle of crossing the river and capturing the flag.

According to the military code, such a high battle loss ratio must initiate a review mechanism for the commander-in-chief, from the advice of the staff officer to the reasons for the commander-in-chief's decision-making, combined with the influence of the merits, to judge whether it is worth paying such a large price.

Even if the review finds that there is no problem, it can affect the mood of the officers and the morale of the soldiers, so whatever the outcome. The bereavement pension and the soldier's commendation will still be issued as soon as possible, and it will be the turn of the chief officer after the last: that is, Wang Yi.

It is also because of the launch of the decision-making review mechanism. During the Battle of the Tang River, the progress of the Tiger Ben Newspaper was halted by the General Discipline Department.

In case the examination is that the chief officer is greedy for military merits and underestimates the enemy's rash advance, it will be too much a slap in the face.

The military judge sent by Wu Changchun had already gone to the Fallen Horse Pass before Xiao Mo learned of the situation. Because of Wang Yi's previous two jumps, coupled with the verbal praise of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Wu Changchun also had to act cautiously and sent a few elderly people.

These officers are all military samples in Wu Changchun's mind. That is, "Qin-style" officers. He is not smiling, his eyes are like torches, and he clearly knows his responsibilities. They mainly obtain first-hand meeting documents, identify authenticity, and talk to the parties. It is documented and then a report is formed.

The judge's report was combined with the secret report of the 10-member regiment, and the final result of the review was made by the Ministry of Military Justice.

However, the final conclusion must be combined with the General Staff's assessment of the results of the battle.

You Shiwei did not want to be distracted by such a matter in the midst of a big war. If he were a big handsome, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to question that way at all. In troubled times, human life is worthless, what is more than half of the war damage? As long as we can win the battle, it is fundamental.

I have to admit that this is the mainstream ideology of the Ming army, and because of this, all kinds of killing, pretending to be men, and women dressing up as men...... All of these are consciously or unconsciously accepted, and even connived. In comparison, what is Wang Yi? What's more, the military judge's own investigation found that Wang Yi's military decision-making was in accordance with the procedure and that his personal reasons were sufficient.

"Your Highness, the opinion of the General Staff is that the battle of the Tang River intercepted 3,000 Mongolian cavalry into the hinterland of Beizhi and avoided the hidden danger of instability in the rear. In addition, Wang Yi faced ten times the enemy's army, and he was able to focus on the overall situation, fight desperately, and boost the morale of our army, which is a meritorious service; Again, Wang Yi led his troops to outwit Maguan despite the successive battles, and intercepted the Mongolian cavalry in the mountains, which was a great contribution to our army's defeat of this army. Therefore, the General Staff suggested that the review procedure should be terminated, and Wang Yi himself did not make any mistakes. ”

You Shiwei met with Zhu Cihong and reported the review opinions of the General Staff Headquarters.

At the same time, Zhu Cihong also had a written opinion in his hand, the content was similar, he had already read it under ten lines at a glance, and he also commented with a red pen: "Yes." Discretionary merit. ”

The reason why You Shiwei said it again in person was mainly for the later words: "Your Highness, now that the war situation is urgent, and the front line changes three times a day, can you suspend the review system of military commanders, so as not to hurt the hearts of the generals and make the front-line officers dare not make decisions?" ”

"If you don't dare to make a decision, won't you be punished?" Zhu Cihong asked rhetorically.

You Shiwei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was not easy to make a living under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince: if you make a mistake in decision-making, you will bear the responsibility of "mediocrity and incompetence"; Missing a fighter plane will bear the responsibility of "indecision"; If the loss is too large, we must bear the responsibility of "greedy merit and rash advance......

Only when you win, and win beautifully, can you be considered innocent.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never hesitates to reward, as long as you really make meritorious deeds, you can cover up the great disasters for you. Although some people say that this kind of protection will make the army arrogant and domineering form an atmosphere, but it is still a little warm to think about it when you are under the command of the crown prince.

"Emperor Taizu Gao's management of the army and officials is the most stringent in history." Zhu Cihong softened his tone: "But in less than three hundred years, the Ming army, which once swept away the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry and defeated all the heroes, was reduced to the point where they had to retreat when they saw the rogues. Why is that? ”

This question is so big that You Shiwei choked for a while, frowned, and did not answer.

Zhu Cihong said again: "When the Qi family was in the army, I didn't hear that there were family members in the army, but when I arrived in Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town, there were more than 100 righteous sons. The Son of Heaven summoned Wu Xiang and asked Guan Liao to send 30,000 troops, and Wu Xiang symmetrically led tens of thousands of military salaries, and could only raise 3,000 men who dared to fight...... There are so many of them, but I boil it down to two words: love and disadvantage.

"With these disadvantages, being a soldier is just to eat food and survive. Since it is based on survival, it is natural to break in and surrender, and to clear and clear...... Just to live! Zhu Cihong glanced at You Shiwei, who was still a little confused, and said, "I set these regulations in order to eliminate the disadvantages as much as possible...... While it may well be stopped, it must be done. Once a slit is loosened on the top, there is a big hole underneath! Not to mention 300 years, it is questionable whether this strong army can still be there in 30 years. ”

"A thousand miles of lifting collapsed in the anthill, what His Highness said is extremely true." You Shiwei saw that the crown prince was so determined, and he didn't want to be hard-hitting.

"I have the beginning, I must carry it out for several generations, how can I be shaken at the beginning?" Zhu Cihong said: "Actually, from another angle, isn't this kind of censorship a protection for military generals? Even after thousands of years, people also know that Wang Yi did not careless of human lives in this battle, let alone cast a star with thousands of dry bones. Isn't that more important than a gold medal? ”

You Shiwei thought that this was indeed the case, and his resistance suddenly decreased.

"The review news can be sent to the "Tiger Ben Daily", and in the future, we must make a clear understanding: defeat may not be investigated, and victory does not necessarily only reward but not punish, the key depends on the process. As long as the process is okay, it doesn't matter how the result is. The ancients all knew that victory and defeat were a common thing in soldiers, but didn't the Holy Son of Heaven and I even have this measure of accepting defeat? Zhu Cihong said: "Therefore, examination is a must, and only by examining and examining in detail can we sum up lessons and experience, and can the army's tactics be improved." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Wang Yi is still the first officer to win the censorship, right?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Indeed." You Shiwei smiled bitterly: I don't know if Lu Dao is too unlucky for this young officer.

"That's just right," Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "Spread the news." Wang Yi could only be awarded the third-class first-class Medal of Bravery, but after review, it was found that his military exploits were outstanding, and he was specially awarded the third-class White Blade Medal. ”

After the implementation of the medal system in the East Palace, it has also undergone some revisions, and is now set at the third class and ninth grade. The Order of the Golden Scales of the First Class is awarded only to those who have made significant contributions to the country's social welfare. Among the second-class medals, there are temporarily two types: white blade and iron wall. The former is awarded to offensive officers and soldiers who "must attack and conquer". The latter, as the name suggests, was awarded for outstanding contributions to defensive battles.

Although Wang Yi only won a third-class white-bladed medal, it was a second-class medal, and only Liu Yi had won one so far. The second second-class medal in the whole army, and it was from the Tank Division, which is also a good story in the history of war. If the review can lead to a higher rank of medals, I think more officers will expect this kind of review to fall on their heads. (To be continued......)
