Chapter 240
In the Zhenrong Office Officer Hall, Han Qi met Xu Ping and Pang Ji, and the face was a little embarrassed. In the battle of Tiandu Mountain, the Longyou Army killed the most enemies and achieved the greatest results. As a result, the losses were Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road. Wang Yan did not come, so Han Qi could only bite the bullet and take down the role. The pressure to meet Xu Ping was still very high.
Everyone sat down, and Han Qi bowed to Xu Ping: "The guardian came from afar and could not meet him. Don't blame him for being neglected."
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Zhigui, we have known each other for many years, so there is no need to say these polite words. The war report must have reached the court. We must also decide how to put our stamps on it as soon as possible."
Pang Ji was serious on the side and said nothing, which made Han Qi feel a little upset. In fact, it was not Pang Ji who had any opinions on this war. He had been in charge of the Military and Justice Department for nearly a year and developed this habit. According to the rules in Longyou, the Military and Justice Department did not participate in the war and daily military management. He only accepted various cases of big and small, and then investigated some special matters. This time, Xu Ping asked Pang Ji to summarize the war, and the most important thing was his neutral and transcendent status. In fact, there was no place to discuss military law in the summary of the war, unless Xu Ping and Han Qi handed the case to Pang Ji.
After thinking for a while, Han Qi asked Xu Ping: "Now only the remaining thieves are surrounded by Tiansheng Village and Qianxing Village, and all of them are just around the corner. Who should reward and punish these military merits and demerits? All things are mixed, and everyone thinks they should start from?"
"I think there are three things that must be done. The first thing is to mourn Ren Fu, and let his son Ren Huailiang carry the coffin back to Beijing. Don't send generals to escort them. Geng Chanjun and other familyless people in the northwest will be transported back to Beijing. They will live up to the court, and the court cannot let them down to persuade loyal and brave men to fight. The second thing is to annihilate the thieves in the mountains as soon as possible, rectify the troops, and prepare for the subsequent war. The two of us have to discuss a strategy, how to fight in the next battle, report to the court, and wait for the Privy Council to announce the order. The third thing is that the right and wrong of this battle, and there must be a statement. If the war is not over, it is a mess."
Han Qi was stunned for a moment. He thought that Xu Ping came to govern the Rong army to settle the score after the war, but he did not expect that the merits and demerits were at the end. Needless to say, Ren Fu was the thick mercy, with the examples of Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun in front. Ren Fu died after fighting hard, and the court would definitely give him generous gifts. However, Xu Ping did not mention Ge Huaimin, and the meaning was very obvious. His right and wrong merits and demerits should be discussed again. At least the front line did not give him the idea of fighting hard and demerits. In the end, the front line did not make any decisions, and the ministers in the court decided to do it. As for how to fight in the next battle, Han Qi understood in his heart, saying it was a discussion, but Xu Ping was actually making his own decisions now.
Seeing that Pang Ji was still stern and said nothing, Han Qi said, "That's it. Ren Fu's coffin has been prepared in the city. After the burial is collected, his son Huailiang will be supported back to the capital. He will send his horse to the road, Cui Xuan will take 500 troops and escort the troops along the way, and the rest of the soldiers who fell from the battle will also return to the capital. We have discussed with Zhengluo Wang before making a decision?"
Xu Ping nodded: "This is the best. How to fight the next battle, let's discuss it later. The right and wrong of Tiandushan battle, Jingluo and I are both parties involved. If it is not easy to participate too much, Pang Junfa will preside over it. In addition, we will have another chapter to let the court send officials to deal with it together. Although the battle was won, we cannot cover up the matter of improper command and poor combat in the war. Things are one, two, good is good, bad is bad. If you make a fool of yourself, you will not be punished. If you should be punished, you will lose the hearts of the army. And you don't know where the right is right and where the wrong is wrong, and you will not know how to do the future war. What do you think?"
When Pang Ji saw Han Qi, Han Qi pondered for a moment and bowed, "I will do it according to what the Protector said, this is the best!"
Pang Ji then bowed and said, "Since the two generals handed over this matter to me, I will report it to the public and live up to expectations!"
"Okay, then let's settle down like this. Let's go and see Ren Fu together." Xu Ping said, and stood up.
Ren Fu's body had been transported back to Zhenrong Army and parked in a small temple in the city. His son Ren Huailiang was there and was helped back to the capital after making a decision. Because Liu Hu arrived in time, Ren Fu's body was complete, including his armor, weapons, and chariots, and all were collected there. This was the last dignity of a general. Killing generals and seizing flags was the most capable of striking the morale of the army. Although Ren Fu died, his set of ceremonies was still complete.
Seeing Xu Ping and others coming, Ren Huailiang got up and saluted.
Xu Ping stepped forward to see Ren Fu's body. It was winter now, and it was not corrupt, and it was still the same as before. He turned around to comfort Ren Huailiang: "Ma Shuai will not let down the court, and the court will not let down the Ma Shuai! You prepare for it, and you will get up in the past two days and transport Ma Shuai back to the capital. The Protectorate and the General Secretary will conduct written documents along the way to welcome and see off the prefectures and counties along the way. There will be no troops escorts on Jingyuan Road."
Ren Huailiang thanked him with tears. With the attitude of the two handsome ministers on the front line, the tone of the treatment behind Ren Fu was set.
Han Qi and Pang Ji stepped forward one by one, saw Ren Fu's remaining face, and comforted Ren Huailiang. Ren Fu's funeral was arranged by the court to make him worry-free. Han Qi immediately expressed his 500 stagnant of ministerial money for Ren Huailiang to use on the road, and he should be rewarded. Returning to Beijing was decided by the court. In accordance with Liu Ping's example, Ren Fu was granted a prime minister behind him, and it was inevitable that he could receive the highest honor and honor of military generals.
Not counting titles, the highest honor for officials in this era is to be the prime minister. Not only military generals, but also civil officials, that is, a special case of civil officials being transferred to military positions, and the civil officials are promoted to military positions. When civil officials reach the peak, they will be transferred to military positions, establish the Jiejie as the governor, and at the same time serve as the Shizhong or Pingzhang official. Even if the ministers are treated as the current or former prime minister, it is easier for military generals.
Because Ren Fu died in a cowardly manner, Han Qi felt extremely cowardly, and gave him extraordinary treatment behind Ren Fu. It was normal to give money to his son to carry the coffin back to Beijing, but it was unusual to send troops to escort along the road, which was a strong attitude shown by the generals on the front line. Without the order of the Privy Council, the soldiers along the border were not allowed to enter the mainland, and even if they were carried by Cui Xuan, they could not. The 500 soldiers on Jingyuan Road could only be sent to the border of the road. If they walked forward, they had to wait for the approval of the Privy Council. However, neither Xu Ping nor Han Qi believed that the Privy Council would send these 500 soldiers back, otherwise the Border Commander and Liangzi of the Pudong Mansion would be formed.
After seeing Ren Fu, Xu Ping looked at the bodies of Geng Fu and others placed here one by one. Only the bodies of Ge Huaimin and Liu He and others were stolen by Dang Xiang, and there were only a few empty coffins.
After seeing it one by one, Xu Ping felt indescribable, a little sad and a little angry. The soldiers of the imperial guards joined the battle, and many of them fled when they were watching and even looking at the wind, but there were more generals like Ren Fu and Geng Fu who would never retreat even if they died in front of the battle. But the fact is that the people who could fight and dared to die were really dead. The generals who escaped at the battle survived and were only slightly punished, not delaying them from reaching the high position in the future.
