Chapter 1406: Kill the Dark Blade Army and punish Xin Feiguang
Chapter 1406: Obliterate the Dark Blade Army and punish Xin Feiguang
As soon as Shen Tang said this, the person who reacted most intensely was Xin Feiguang! If the Lieyang Army is his hard work, then the Dark Blade is his lifeblood!
He didn't know how much energy and financial resources he invested for this elite troop, and this troop did not let him down! Whether it was traveling around for business or private revenge, it never let him down.
And now, Shen Tang actually wants to drive away all the Dark Blades?
"Shen Tang, you can't do this! The Dark Blade is also a soldier of the country. If you dare to kill indiscriminately, it is an unpardonable crime! I will report it to the court..."
Listening to Xin Feiguang's roar, Shen Tang sneered, "It is precisely because they are soldiers of the imperial court that they need to be investigated in detail. If they are not guilty, it will be fine. But if they are criminals, there is no need for you to report them to the imperial court." , even if I kill them, I will report to the court that you, a loyal general, are not strict in your control!"
In fact, the current local army is almost the same as the bandits! There are not a few who commit crimes and even burn, kill and loot. If we really check it carefully, it is estimated that half of the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty will be dealt with. above.
This is especially true for the Dark Blade Army, which is Xin Feiguang's private army. Therefore, Shen Tang can just find an excuse to execute them openly!
Xin Feiguang's eyes widened with hatred, "Shen Tang, you... you avenge yourself! Those people are innocent, why should you deal with them!"
brush!
Shen Tang stood up and took a few steps forward to face Xin Feiguang, "Private vendetta?
innocent?
Then General Xin, please explain to me, what is the personal enmity between you and me? As for the innocent?
Among the millions of people in the Song Dynasty, who was not innocent?
Do you dare to complain in front of me?"
At this moment, the generals present finally realized that the reason why Shen Tang dealt with Xin Feiguang was probably not just because of this battle. Xin Feiguang had resisted Shen Tang from entering the city before, and there was obviously a reason for it! However, now Shen Tang He is in charge of the military power, and his Majesty has a secret plan to kill him first, and he has the right to kill first and then report. In addition, although his words are a bit harsh, they are also fair and upright, so Xin Feiguang may not be able to turn around.
However, what they didn't expect was that Xin Feiguang had been stationed in Xiangyang and had nothing to do with Shen Tang. How could there be other grudges?
Xin Feiguang opened his mouth, but couldn't speak!
personal enmity?
Of course there is, but it's a pity that he, Xin Feiguang, was at fault first! Innocent?
Speaking of which, there are countless more innocent people than those of the Dark Blade Army, and the Dark Blade Army is not considered innocent...
"Tong Chuan, please remember it clearly for me! If you miss anyone who does not abide by military law in this so-called Dark Blade Army, I will deal with you first!"
Tong Chuan immediately showed murderous intent, but it was just hundreds of lives, what did it matter?
"Don't worry, Commander! The general will check everyone carefully and there will never be any omissions!"
Shen Tang turned around with his hands behind his back and said slowly again, "Xin Feiguang, the guard of Xiangyang, when the Jin soldiers marched south, he ignored his friendship, the lives of the people, and his responsibility to defend the land. He caused heavy damage to all the soldiers and horses, and even more so. Let the Jin soldiers occupy several states and do nothing! Although this has a small contribution, it is not worth the merit!"
"I punished Xin Feiguang with eighty sticks, deprived him of his position as commander-in-chief, and demoted him to the rank of commander of the military capital!"
In the Song Dynasty, the general local army was also called a box of troops, with a capital of a hundred people, a battalion of five soldiers, an army of five battalions, and a box of ten armies! Therefore, the local army should generally be fully equipped.
There are 25,000 people! The commander-in-chief of an army is also called the commander of Xiangdu, and below him is the commander of military capital.
However, generally speaking, there are at least a dozen or so military commanders in one army! In addition to the military commanders of the same level, the number is even greater! Therefore, the soldiers in the hands of the military commanders are
The number of horses and their power depend on the distance between them and the general!
If you are a close confidant of the general and hold the position of deputy general, you will be worth less than one person and more than ten thousand people. However, if you are despised by the general, your actual power may not be as good as that of an ordinary commander.
And if Xin Feiguang is placed in the Zaoyang Army, with an enemy like Tong Chuan as the main general, the outcome is obvious!
"puff!"
Xin Feiguang was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood and passed out immediately! Today, he suffered too many blows.
First, the Lieyang Army he built fell apart. Hundreds of elite cronies he had cultivated with so much effort were sentenced to death. Even he himself was knocked into the dust! It was really hard for him to accept!
However, Shen Tang didn't have much sympathy in his heart. He just smiled coldly, and then said to Tong Chuan, "Tong Chuan, this Xin Feiguang is the commander of the army under your command. Why don't you let him lead you?"
Go down and heal your wounds?
If something goes wrong, how do you explain it?"
"I will obey your orders!"
Tong Chuan nodded and accepted the order, went to the door and called two soldiers, and took Xin Feiguang away directly!
The punishment given by Shen Tang was so severe that even though everyone guessed there were other reasons, they still fell silent! Think about how arrogant and domineering Xin Feiguang was before?
Now that he has been crushed into dust, I am afraid that he will never have a chance to stand up in this life! Including those generals who had a good relationship with Xin Feiguang before, they have absolutely no intention of trying to reason with Shen Tang at this moment!
Human nature is realistic and cannot withstand too many tests, let alone such a matter of life and death?
However, Shen Tang did not take action next! Punishing Xin Feiguang was to avenge the past and to scare the monkeys. Now that the purpose was achieved, there was obviously no need to offend more people! Therefore, as Shen Tang's words softened,
The atmosphere in the hall gradually relaxed.
Shen Tang first acknowledged the merits of the generals present in the battle against the Jin, and at the same time said that he would ask the imperial court for credit for everyone. Then, he also ordered all troops to go out of Xiangyang to check the movements of the Jin soldiers.
Although Shen Tang knew very well what Jin Bing would do, he still had to put on some pretense.
With the retreat of the Jin soldiers, the Xiangyang area that had been noisy for a long time finally returned to calm. "Victory reports" continued to come from all walks of life, and military reports reporting victory were also delivered to Lin'an at a very fast speed!
And Shen Tang's mind was gradually freed from this battle! Although this battle happened suddenly, even a bit inexplicably, and the process was not smooth, but fortunately everything has passed.
.
This battle between Song and Jin was based on mutual restraint. Although the result may not satisfy everyone, there will not be too much resentment!
After the war ended, Shen Tang naturally began to think about what he would do next.
