Chapter 107
Jiao Yong came out of the room, stretched his waist, feeling refreshed. When he looked up, he saw Liang Nengwei standing in his yard with a very lonely expression. There were several generals standing next to him, each holding his waist knives and looking at Liang Nengwei.
Jiao Yong was shocked and said, "What's wrong? I got drunk last night. Did something happen later?"
Liang Nengwei looked at Jiao Yong, shook his head, and said unsteadily: "Taiwei, Longzhou surrendered to the city, but why did he massacre the city last night?"
Jiao Yong was confused for a moment and said, "What are you saying? After drinking, I went back to bed. What massacre of the city? - What did you say? Longzhou City was signed? What's going on?"
A general said: "The surrendered Dangxiang people caused rebellion last night, which caused everyone in the city to rebel. The army had no choice but to slaughter the city."
Jiao Yong looked at the generals and after a while, he said, "Why no one calls me! Why don't you call me such a big thing?"
Another general said: "It's not a big deal, why bother wake up the Grand Marshal? Some small things will be done by their own children."
Jiao Yong looked at a few people and knew that they were all aware of it, but he just kept it from him. He was too lazy to ask them, so he walked out of the state yard and saw the scene on the streets outside. He saw the corpses on both sides of the streets, some houses were smoked, and there were crying women and children on the roadside from time to time.
Liang Nengwei followed out from inside, pointed at the street, and said loudly in a high voice: "Taiwei, if the soldiers want money, just speak up and let the people get together! Why do you have to do this? Most of the people in the city have been killed. None of my subordinates who have surrendered have left!"
Jiao Yong's face changed. After a while, he turned around and sternly said: "What are you talking nonsense! If you surrender, your subordinates must be dissatisfied and caused this disaster! My military discipline is strict, how could I do such a thing? I dare to say something randomly and kill you with one knife. It is considered the chief evil! Come on, arrest the chief evil that is causing trouble, and cooperate without asking!"
Several generals looked at each other and smiled, took a quick step forward, and crossed their hands to say yes.
After the training of the Imperial Army, many rules were also changed. There was no excretion fee for the dispatch of troops, no rewards before the war, and after the war, they were seized and returned to the public, mainly for military merits and official positions. For the soldiers who could retire in the Yingtianxiang Army, these were acceptable, but for the veterans of the Imperial Army, it felt extremely awkward. Di Qing knew that the army was unstable, so he kept the army together and watched it himself. Now that he started to divide the troops, this kind of thing was almost inevitable.
From September to five months now, Han Qi has made military achievements, and these generals and soldiers can still accept their fate. After defeating Lingzhou and attacking Hengshan, they can't help it. After fighting so many victories and without rewards, wouldn't this battle be in vain? Last night, soldiers began to steal people's wealth, so they could not stop it, and finally developed into a massacre of cities and looting. The generals could not restrain the soldiers at all, so they finally joined in.
Jiao Yong has been in the army for decades. When he saw the scene outside, he guessed what happened. The arrogant soldiers of the imperial guards could not be stopped at this time, so he simply recognized them. Longzhou was the leader of the troops. As long as he said that the surrendered soldiers were causing chaos, who would dare to ask what?
Returning to the official hall, Jiao Yong sat down and said to Liang Nengwei: "Although the surrendered troops were in chaos, you were in control. However, you were drinking with us last night, and it had nothing to do with this matter. I will write a memorial later, and you will sign it out to explain the chaos last night!"
Liang Nengwei looked around, closed his eyes, and couldn't say a word. The Dangxiang army surrendered without fighting, and it has happened many times. Why did he live so hard? Everyone else is safe and stable, but he will cause the disaster of the city massacre by himself.
After a quick arrangement, Jiao Yong was too lazy to take care of it and returned to the Houya. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a woman who was with him last night, stabbing him with a pair of scissors. Jiao Yong pulled her casually and pulled her to the ground, and said sternly: "What are you doing!"
The woman looked at Jiao Yong and cried, "Last night you occupied my body and sent troops to kill my whole family. I will die with you!"
After saying that, he stabbed him again with scissors.
Jiao Yong raised his kick, kicked the woman aside, and scolded: "It's really bad luck! There's no safe place!"
After saying that, he ignored the two women in the room and quickly walked out of the room and arrived at the front official hall.
At Xiazhou Official Department, Di Qing saw the memorial sent by Jiao Yong, slapped the table suddenly, stood up and said sternly: "How dare this slaughter, how dare you plunder the soldiers! Since the Zhenrong Army sent troops, the officials in the court have no idea how much he has opinions about us. He has caused such a thing again, how can the court let us go!"
Zhang Yu picked up the memorial, looked at it quickly, and couldn't help but frown and said, "When the Lingzhou is broken, the Dangxiang Army will be scared. Wherever they go, most of them surrendered and surrendered. How could there be rebellion in the surrendered soldiers? I'm afraid it's Jiao Yong who is lying."
Di Qing said: "It must be. When we attack Xiazhou, we did not fight. The Dangxiang surrendered soldiers outside were honest and how could they cause trouble? It must be that after Jiao Yong entered the city, he led his troops to loot, fearing that the court would pursue the matter, so he found this excuse."
After saying that, he sat behind the desk and was as big as a fight, and his whole body was trembling with anger.
Zhang Yu said: "If the report is sent to you like this, the court will definitely not believe it. But Jiao Yong not only plundered the troops, but also said that killing surrendered soldiers was his military merits, and he would receive a reward from the court. If he didn't report the report, he would be afraid that it would not work."
Di Qing shook his head and said, "Of course not. Jiao Yong is in Longzhou, and it is the intersection between Suide Army and Yan'an Prefecture. If we force it tightly, he really wants to cause trouble, and it will be a big disaster. If he recruits his troops back immediately, he will be able to deal with it."
After saying that, he was frowning for a moment. He was flowing down the Wuding River. Longzhou happened to be a protruding unit, and there was no army nearby, so he had no idea to start. At this time, he suddenly came back from focusing and he would inevitably be suspicious and might not obey orders. Di Qing himself could not explain clearly when other troubles arose. This time, the troops were sent back because of slow action. The officials in the court were dissatisfied with Di Qing. If something happened to cause a major problem, they would not let him go.
Zhang Yu said: "Taiwei, why don't I go to Longzhou for a walk. I took Jiao Yong back and saw who said what he said!"
Di Qing thought about it and said, "Forget it, Longzhou has been massacred, and there is no big city around it. Let Jiao Yong be there first. When we conquer Shizhou and Yinzhou, we will meet with Xia Taiwei of Fuyan Road, and then let Jiao Yong join Yinzhou. At that time, we were not afraid of him causing trouble."
Dangxiang was arranged along the Infinite River in the important area of Hengshan. After capturing Yinzhou, there were no more large troops, and Hengshan was basically pacified. At that time, the entire army met and there was no fear of cleaning up the burn.
Zhang Yu nodded, feeling unlucky for a moment. After capturing Lingzhou, the whole army wanted to fight a beautiful battle in Hengshan and save the face in front of him, but this happened.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yu said: "Before the battle, the army sent money before the war, and won the battle, and rewarded it with great rewards. This time, the troops were sent out differently from before. The army did not issue money before the war, and did not issue rewards after the war. Many veterans in the army were very dissatisfied. After occupying the city, they would inevitably have bad thoughts. If Jiao Yong was not punished, I am afraid that other generals would follow suit."
Di Qing nodded: "I am also making things difficult for this matter. I am punishing Jiao Yong, for fear that his army will be unstable and rushing into Linyan Road to cause chaos, which will be a shame! But if you don't care, you are afraid that other generals will follow them and cause more chaos. In addition to the big cities, there are many Dangxiang's villages scattered everywhere in Hengshan area. If the generals slaughtered all the way, where are the Dangxiang people willing to surrender?"
This is the stubborn disease of the imperial guards. The commander is ineffective in controlling the generals and lacks means. The soldiers are in the hands of the commanders. When it comes to war, the commanders do not obey the commanders' orders and are often unable to deal with them. It is not possible to rely on killing to establish authority. If you kill one, other commanders will inevitably feel uneasy and even more disobey the commanders. Killing generals in front of the formation has no absolute authority and no special ability, and no one dares to do this.
