Didn't he come to the capital to ask for guilt? What? His tone seemed to be that he came to discuss merit.
Things changed so fast that no one could turn around.
Liu Chengfeng sat on the chair, deliberately paused for a moment, and then said with a slight smile: "So, the Ming Dynasty is safe and sound, all of you are indispensable. But having said that, merit is merit, and fault is fault. Since ancient times, merit and fault cannot be ignored.
Offsetting, how much has it always been?
A man with outstanding merits finally fell into the fate of being unable to survive or die due to his mistakes. Now someone from the Xuanfu reported that you were embezzling and deducting military pay, and the imperial court also sent people to verify, and these incidents are indeed true.
.Money guerrilla…”
Liu Chengfeng's eyes fell on Qian Guerrilla, and he said slowly and authentically: "Seven years ago, your family was not well-off, but now you have thousands of acres of fertile land in your hometown in Shandong, and you are considered the leading tycoon in the area. Qian Guerrilla,
Is this prince right?"
Qian Fang hurriedly said: "The general will do things worthy of his own conscience. The general will never sacrifice the blood of his soldiers. These money...these money are all contributions from local merchants."
When Qian Fang said this, there was a bit of pride in his tone. Who in the whole border town would not eat the blood of soldiers? Under normal circumstances, if the officials were deducted 30% of the pay and silver issued by the court and actually paid 70%, this was already
It is considered good, some are even
Even if they deducted 50% or 60%, Qian Fang paid out the full amount without being greedy for a penny. Because of this, whenever there was a war, Qian Fang's Shenji Battalion often had the highest fighting spirit. With Qian Fang's order, everyone
Everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
Liu Chengfeng smiled coldly, stared at Qian Fang with eyes as deep as a bag, and said coldly: "Yes, you didn't eat the blood of the soldiers, but I ask you why those merchants gave you money
?”
Qian Fang was stunned, and then said: "Of course I want to give them some convenience. They often trade with the Mongols..."
"If it was a normal transaction, according to the laws of my court, why did they need to send money to Qian Guerrilla? As far as I know, those merchants sent the money after Qian Guerrilla left the Shenji Camp and went to lead the Scout Camp.
After that, the reason why they sent money to Qian Guerrilla was just because they were afraid that you and your scout battalion would search their goods. Qian Guerrilla, do you want me to continue talking about this?"
Qian Fang's face was green and white, and she pursed her lips and did not dare to speak.
Liu Chengfeng said very rudely: "Because they are afraid that among their goods there are prohibited goods, which may include enemy weapons and grain, and these things will eventually fall into the hands of the Mongols and be used to loot the border towns. Money
Fang, don’t you know the crime yet?”
Qian Fang couldn't help but sweat dripping on his forehead. If Liu Chengfeng showed respect to everyone just now, these old people could breathe a sigh of relief, but now they are all scared out of their wits. Qian Fang is still honest and honest in the border town, but
According to what Liu Chengfeng said, crime
But it is extremely serious. The hands and feet of the people here may not be really clean. If you really want to talk about it, beheading and exile are inevitable. Although the border town has long been in dire straits, they are actually pretty good people, but the imperial court
If you want to be punished for your crime, are you afraid that you will have no excuse?
Liu Chengfeng's tone became calm again and said: "Let's take the secret order."
Secret edict...
Everyone couldn't help but be moved. One by one, they prostrated themselves on the ground and said one after another: "The humble minister accepts the order."
Liu Chengfeng stood up and said: "There are guerrilla generals Qian Fang, guerrilla generals Zhang... they are all meritorious officials, but they rely on their own merits, have no regard for the king's laws, are greedy for money, and ignore their family and country. It is hateful, hateful
!Immediately, I ordered the revolution to remove my official position, strip my official position and remove my title, to serve as a warning..."
After Liu Chengfeng finished reciting the imperial edict, he looked at the people kneeling below him and said slowly: "Do you understand the edict?"
The mood of Qian Fang and others has fallen to the bottom at this moment. The last trace of luck that was still there has been shattered at this time. There are so many people fighting on the battlefield.
In the end, we ended up like this. We couldn't blame others at this time. It's just that they had long been accustomed to the life of the army. Now that they were disarmed and returned to the fields, they even lost their official positions. Their hearts were filled with all kinds of thoughts. They suppressed their grief and kowtowed: "Common people
We understand, thank the Lord for His grace."
Liu Chengfeng put away the imperial edict and continued calmly: "The imperial court has its own laws. The imperial court will naturally punish you for the things you have committed. I ask you, if anyone is dissatisfied, I can listen
Let me hear your defense."
At this time, someone wanted to defend himself, but how should he defend himself? Do you want to tell Liu Chengfeng that corruption and perversion of the law are everywhere in this town, but in fact, compared with other colleagues, he is not even worthy of carrying his shoes?
Everyone still cautiously kept their mouths shut, and no one said a word.
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "Well, I will give you a chance!"
Chance……
Everyone raised their eyes and looked at Liu Chengfeng.
Liu Chengfeng took out another secret decree from his sleeve and said: "Listen to the decree!"
Everyone prostrated themselves. They may not have heard any decree in their lives, but they didn't expect that today they heard it twice, and there were no duplicates. So they all said: "The common people accept the decree."
Liu Chengfeng said loudly: "Literature can govern a country, and martial arts can stabilize a country. In a country of ten thousand vehicles, both civil and military skills are indispensable. Since our ancestors surrendered, they have failed to conquer the south and conquered the Yuan Dynasty in the north, and now we have the world. As for Emperor Wen, he conquered the Yuan Dynasty.
Annan, Three Attacks on Mongolia, Hehewu
Merit will be remembered through the ages. Today, when peace prevails, I dare not forget martial arts. I always remember the pioneering achievements of my ancestors, and worry about the tigers and wolves waiting for me outside the border... Now that military affairs have been relaxed, I want to organize and train a new army, and I have specially ordered Liu Cheng, the Marquis of Lianzhou.
Wind, whip out the training leader, etc..."
After reading the edict, everyone finally understood that the emperor wanted to organize and train the new army, but he didn't want the matter to be leaked, so he removed their official positions and ordered them to coach and train them first in the name of Jubao Trading Company.
Get a backbone.
At this moment, everyone was surprised and happy, and their originally gloomy mood suddenly became excited again.
The imperial court actually selected them to coach the new army, which is of course extraordinary and shows that the imperial court still recognizes them. Now, this is also an opportunity for them to make up for their past mistakes. If the new army is coached well, maybe some officials will be reinstated.
day.
Liu Chengfeng accepted the imperial edict and then said: "Everyone, please stand up and speak. The imperial edict is very clear. I will choose the instructor, and the one I choose is you. Qian Fang, you are in charge of the Xuanfu Shenji Army.
You are familiar with the art of warfare. I now order you to be the chief instructor of the student army and infantry. From now on, you need to start a new life, stop being corrupt and perverting the law, and serve the king well. Do you understand?"
Qian Fang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He was proficient in the tactics of the Shenji Battalion. It was true that the so-called Shenji Battalion was a fire gun battalion specially set up by the Ming Dynasty. However, in the Xuan Mansion, although the Shenji Battalion was elite, it was only an auxiliary after all.
, only used as an auxiliary arm of the infantry,
This is no different from the archery team, but Liu Chengfeng actually asked him, a man who is proficient in the Shenji Battalion's tactics, to be the chief instructor of the infantry. What does this mean? Qian Fang is not a fool. Liu Chengfeng makes it clear
It is necessary to use the Shenji Army as the main force.
Although there were many thoughts in his heart, Qian Fang did not dare to neglect and said quickly: "I will obey my order."
Liu Chengfeng nodded his head, and seeing Qian Fang's face looking a bit doubtful, he said, "Master Qian seems to have something to say?"
Qian Fang pondered for a moment and said frankly: "Sir, the last general only knows how to train the Shenji Battalion. I'm afraid he will not be qualified for the position of chief instructor of the infantry."
Qian Fang is telling the truth. There are specialties in the art industry. He has great experience in the tactics and tactics of the Shenji Battalion. He also knows how to face the battle, how to defeat the enemy, and how to train the army and horses, but he is asked to be the chief instructor of the infantry.
, which is a bit difficult.
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said: "For the infantry, the Shenji Battalion is enough."
Qian Fang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. What did this mean? It was really beyond Qian Fang's common sense. Could it be that this new army only had the Shenji Battalion? No other swords, shields, spears, or archery teams were needed?
"Sir, I think it is absolutely impossible." Qian Fang hurriedly objected, saying: "The Shenji Camp has the advantages of the Shenji Camp, but it also has many disadvantages. If it is just to train the Shenji Camp, this new army will be useless.
It's not big, let alone anything else, just the fire
The gun seems to be very powerful, but it is very easy to explode, and it is very troublesome to load the gunpowder. It is better when the weather is clear. Once it encounters rainy weather, the power will be greatly reduced. The Shenji Camp can only assist, so why not
Can it be used for good?"
Qian Fang is still very kind. He feels that Liu Chengfeng is a bit mean-spirited. Is this guy mentally ill? Taking the Shenji Battalion as the main force of the infantry sounds like this to Qian Fang.
It's like a fantasy.
It is true that he has led the Shenji Battalion before, and among the three armies, when it comes to understanding the Shenji Battalion, Qian Fang is definitely one of the best. With his eyes closed, he can know the changes in formations and the various functions of the Shenji Battalion.
Strengths and weaknesses, and precisely because of this, he put forward the opposite suggestion. It would not work to rely solely on the Shenji Battalion to form an army!
However, Liu Chengfeng's attitude was very firm and he said straightforwardly: "It's okay if I say it's okay. Let's put these disputes aside for now. If you want to argue with me, let's talk about it in a few days. Also, don't call me "I" in the future.
Your Majesty, this new army is called the student army, which is composed of scholars. I am the mighty lieutenant general of the student army, and His Royal Highness the Prince is the mighty general of the student army. From now on, please call me general.
."
After that, Liu Chengfeng ignored them and walked away. The confused prisoners were left stunned, but soon someone came to their senses and breathed quickly: "Who is the mighty general of the New Army?"
Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
At this moment, everyone was like a pot exploding. At first, they thought they had committed a crime and their property was in jeopardy. Then they were dismissed from their official positions, which made them devastated. But then they became instructors inexplicably.
Instructor, this instructor, instructor is not
It is an official position in the imperial court, so they are still ordinary people. Although they have some hope in their hearts, they still feel a little uncomfortable. It is not until now that they know that the general of the new army is the prince. What does this mean? This is
