Chapter 363 Impeachment
The puppet Qi's army was originally a mob. When Liu Yu recruited troops, they were all hooligans.
The reason why this group of people came to Liu Yu's place was nothing more than to take a fancy to Liu Yu's army, so that they could burn, kill and loot blatantly.
In terms of military pay, Liu Yu's army is actually very similar to that of the Jin people.
That is, no military salary will be paid, and everyone's military salary can only be obtained by relying on their own abilities.
The reason why these people joined Liu Yu's army was purely to become a legal bandit.
If you really let them go all out, it is simply impossible.
Seeing Niu Gao's ferocity at this time, the crowd scattered like birds and beasts, and they disappeared without any attack.
Niu Gao led a group of cavalry to fight for more than [-] li, but although the puppet Qi's army was average in combat effectiveness, they were good at escaping. After Niu Gao chased for [-] li, there was no puppet Qi army in sight. trail.
It was a big win with less.
When Niu Gao and the others returned to the city tower, he was not satisfied with killing, and muttered to express his dissatisfaction.
"A bunch of bastards, they run pretty fast."
Niu Gao said to Yang Zaixing with a displeased face.
"If I run slower, I will kill them all."
Yang Zaixing liked Niu Gao very much, like Niu Gao and Gao Chong, they were all dug out from the army by Lin Fan.
These two people have amazing combat prowess, and they are completely reckless when fighting, which is very against Yang Zaixing's temper.
Hearing Niu Gao's complaint at this moment, Yang Zaixing said with a smile:
"General Niu, don't be impatient. This pseudo-Qi army is a bunch of mobs. Our real opponent is the Jin army."
Niu Gao nodded, and said to Yang Zaixing:
"I know what you said, but I still can't get angry in my heart."
That's right, it's not the aggressors that really make people angry, but these traitors.
Yang Zaixing was very happy and passed the good news back to Kaifeng City.
However, before Yang Zaixing delivered the good news, another memorial had already been delivered to Kaifeng City in advance.
Above the court hall of the Great Song Dynasty.
At this time, someone was impeaching Yang Zaixing.
"Saint, I impeach Yang Zaixing on two counts:
[-]. When defending the city, take the initiative to attack and meet the puppet Qi's army, losing the advantage of defending the city;
Second, there are suspicions of colluding with the puppet Qi army, but when they had the upper hand, they let go of a large number of puppet Qi soldiers, and did not pursue them to the end.
Please be enlightened by the sage, Yang Zaixing holds a heavy army, if he has any connection with the puppet Qi, it will have a great impact on our court, I hope His Majesty will be aware of it. "
The person who wrote this memorial was Wang Jun, the general judge of the marching army.
The Song Dynasty had three very serious problems:
Redundant officials, redundant expenses, and redundant troops.
Among them, redundancy is the most serious problem.
Because the reputation of the emperor was not justified, so in order to prevent some people in the army from repeating the same mistakes, in addition to separating the right to lead troops and the right to dispatch troops, a series of measures were also implemented at the local level.
Among them, in addition to the general leading the army, a so-called general judge was added.
This general sentence is specially responsible for supervising the army.
After Wang Jun finished writing the memorial, he read it again carefully, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he immediately sent the memorial to Bianjing urgently for eight hundred miles.
Although Yang Zaixing also wrote the victory report, above the court, the ministers first received Wang Jun's memorial.
"Your Majesty, Yang Zaixing didn't fight according to the formation plan. He didn't stand firm in the city when he had the advantage of the terrain. Instead, he went out to fight without authorization. This is an act of resistance to the imperial edict. Please punish him with your Majesty's punishment, as an example to others!"
Xu Ben, the servant of the Ministry of War, was the first to stand up and speak.
In the Song Dynasty, the control of the army can be said to be all-encompassing. Since Zhao Er ascended the throne, he has studied a whole set of formations cleverly. Every time he marches and fights, he can only fight according to the formations.
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, but those who lead troops in battle, if they do not fight according to the formation, and lose the battle at that time, then all the responsibilities are the responsibility of the commander.
Of course, even if you win the battle, it doesn't mean you'll be fine.
Just like now, even if Yang Zaixing won the battle, because he did not fight according to the formation given by the Ministry of War at that time, he is now being impeached.
"Your Majesty, I impeached Yang Zaixing. He was defiant and often acted without authorization in the army. This person is really not suitable for the post of commander in chief."
Chen Feng, the official censor, stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, I also impeached Yang Zaixing. Yang Zaixing was greedy for meritorious deeds. It's good that he won by luck. If he loses accidentally, it will be a disaster for our army. I implore Your Majesty to remove Yang Zaixing as commander-in-chief."
A censor stood up and said.
……
Zhu Lian was stunned for a moment when he heard the people below stand up to impeach Yang Zaixing one after another. He really couldn't think of why these people would suddenly attack Yang Zaixing.
This group of speech officials usually had enough to eat and had nothing to do to impeach the ministers, but it was the first time that they impeached all the ministers together like today.
But Zhu Lian took a closer look and found that the people who impeached Yang Zaixing this time were all civil servants.
She realized that this group of people was not groundless, but a major conspiracy against Yang Zaixing.
At this moment, Zhu Lian couldn't help but think of the words Lin Fan said:
The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs, so the status of generals in the Song Dynasty was low.
The low status of generals in the Song Dynasty also caused the current internal and external difficulties in the Song Dynasty.
After Zhu Lian came to power, he intended to improve the status of military generals, which made these civil servants feel that their status was threatened, so they had a tacit understanding. On this matter, Yang Zaixing started, preparing for the revival of military generals. Take a snipe.
The Celestial Dynasty is best at infighting. Emperor Taizu once taught us:
Fighting with people is a lot of fun.
It's numerous fun to fight the destiny.
Fighting with the ground is endless fun.
There are so many dynasties in the history of the Chinese Dynasty, and there were not many times when they were destroyed by foreign aggression. Most of them killed themselves by themselves.
Just like when the Song Dynasty is in such a difficult situation now, these dignitaries did not think about making the Song Dynasty's national power flourish, but were still planning for their own small calculations.
"Saint, the so-called general is out, and the military order is not accepted. Now I am waiting in this court, and I don't know the situation of this famous city. Let's wait for the battle report to come out."
Li Gang stood up at this time and said.
Although Li Gang is a civil servant, he is still a reasonable person at this time. He knows that it is absolutely taboo to change generals just before the battle. Even if he really wants to deal with Yang Zaixing and the generals headed by Lin Fan Not at this time.
After all, with internal and external troubles, Dajin Kingdom is still coveting, and the White Lotus Sect in the south is still rampant, it is still a bit too early to kill the donkey at this time.
