Chapter 696 The biggest idiot in the army must be eliminated sooner or later
Dang Shixiong and Dang Shiying told Xiao Tang their grievances, mainly just to explain to Xiao Tang that the two brothers indeed had nothing to do with Gao Qiu anymore, but they also thought that after all, they had collaborated with Xiao Tang They had been enemies, and now they were under the roof and no longer suffered humiliation. It was a blessing. Even if Xiao Tang ordered his military officers to drive them out of the county, the two Dang brothers had no choice but to accept their fate.
But just when Dang Shixiong and Dang Shiying were dejected, they suddenly heard Xiao Tang ask them again: "You two brothers used to serve as tooth generals in the Palace Commander's Mansion, and rarely had the opportunity to lead troops to practice formations. Can you be familiar with military regulations such as setting up camps and conducting military exercises?"
Hearing this, the Dang brothers were stunned for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly and responded: "I would like to teach Xiao Renxia to know that when Gao Qiu was not transferred to the Palace Front Division by the officials, our brothers were already in the Bianjing Forbidden Army. I have been in charge of a battalion of troops. Although we are not very capable, we still hoped to make a name for ourselves in the army. How could we dare to neglect important matters in the military?"
Xiao Tang nodded first, then looked at the two Dang brothers meaningfully, and then asked: "Then what happened after you surrendered to Gao Qiu's tent and obeyed his orders?"
Dang Shixiong and Dang Shiying's expressions darkened. Not to mention that Gao Qiu did not miss his old friendship and was extremely mean to his subordinates. Since he took charge of military affairs, he even openly invaded the land of the military camp and built it with other Gao family members. When the newly built mansion was built, the Imperial Guards were used as laborers. When veterans retired and new troops needed to be recruited, Gao Qiu used the national salary to recruit mostly skilled craftsmen as his servants. The Dang secretly said that back then, When working under Gao Qiu's account, he was no different from the two stewards of the nursing home raised by a wealthy official. How could there be any opportunity to learn from Xing Wu Junjian?
What's more, the upper beams are not straight and the lower beams are crooked. When many generals who served Gao Qiu saw their masters like this, they also imitated the same example and used military pay to privately support craftsmen and servants. However, any family built bricks, tiles, and mud privately, and repaired their mansions. At that time, all the troops from the Bianjing Central Military Camp were used, and the remaining soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army had to rely on fishing for food and clothing. Schools, selections, and training were in ruins. The dilemma is not limited to Hedong Road and other areas. The military and political corruption in the capital is also becoming increasingly serious. The battalions under Xiao Tang's command will have fewer and fewer usable troops... ...
The military affairs of the Song Dynasty pursued a policy of weakening the branches and strengthening the cadres, and defending the interior from the outside. Although the imperial army in the capital was said to be 800,000, I am afraid that in a few years, this sentence will become more like a joke.
Xiao Tang's expression became more and more serious, and he sternly said to the Dang brothers: "I was fighting openly and secretly with Gao Qiu in Bianjing, and you two brothers naturally knew it well. It's not just because of him. If Gao Yanei's unredeemed beast is allowed to do all his evil deeds, Gao Qiu's son will exclude dissidents and rely on favors for personal gain, the Bianjing Forbidden Army will be in a foul atmosphere, and the country's military and political affairs will not be repaired. Sooner or later, I am afraid that he will suffer the humiliation of submitting to a foreign country. ....
Although the Commander-in-Chief and Gao Qiu are ministers in the same palace, now I have the ability to go to Hedong on official business to eliminate the idiots in the army who have caused banditry in Hedong. However, I have always been very clear that the biggest idiot in the army is the one who ruined the country's military and government. Chong, that fellow from the second year of high school in Yuanshe! Both of you brothers once served in front of Gao Qiu's tent, and now you want to join the new army in Hedong that I was ordered to train. Don't get even the slightest bit of bad habits, and don't think that you can hang out in the new army just by relying on personal relationships. Otherwise, if you are recruited into the army this time, the commander-in-chief can also behead you according to military law as a warning to others!"
Originally, Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong were so ashamed that they couldn't raise their heads after hearing Xiao Tang's scolding. But when Xiao Tang said the last words, the two brothers suddenly raised their heads again and said to Xiao Tang in surprise: "Xiao Renxia.
..What you mean is...are you willing to recruit our two brothers to join the army?"
Since the ugly words have been said before, there are always some good words to say to appease the two brothers. Xiao Tang smiled slightly, moved his hands to Wang Jin who was silent at the side, and said: "You two were also forbidden officers.
Born as a general, you are relatively more familiar with military training. Now that you have registered your paintings, I will ask Commander Wang Jin to examine you first. If you are really familiar with your military duties, what will the new army do now?
In the absence of generals to lead each department, I will allocate two battalions of troops and each of you brothers will be in charge of one battalion.
But now that the new army has been established, all military personnel are only temporarily arranged. If the two of you are unable to unite the army, the first battalion commander will naturally be determined not to be able to do it again. But on the other hand, if it is useful for conquering the bandits in Hedong,
In the new army, if you can make some contributions, you will naturally be promoted, and you will be able to fulfill your long-cherished wish to gain fame in the army... The other military officers are wary of the old thief Gao Qiu.
The power does not dare to accommodate you, but the commander-in-chief of this section only thinks that his Sanya Taiwei is just a clown! I don’t need to say more about these things, you are also very clear about this arrangement. What do you think of this arrangement? "
Wang Jin, who had to pretend to be ill and resign because of the persecution of Gao Qiu, heard the words and looked at Dang Shiying. Dang Shixiong and his brothers looked over. Although his expression was a bit complicated, he still said to Xiao Tang simply.
"I have been ordered to study and teach these two brothers how to lead the army. I will not neglect it!"
When the Dang brothers heard that Xiao Tang was not only willing to take them in, but also promised to give them opportunities to be promoted and assigned important tasks in the military, they were naturally surprised and happy. Xiao Tang had ordered the military academy to register the Dang brothers.
After settling in the camp, he, Wang Huan, Wang Jin and others went to inspect the camp ahead.
Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong had expressions of gratitude on their faces. They stared blankly at Xiao Tang's retreating figure. After a moment, the brothers suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Tang.
, and said gratefully: "Xiao Renxia has a broad mind, and we will be grateful to you! We will definitely repay your great kindness, work diligently in the army, do not dodge the sword, and will not hesitate to die!"
On Xiaotang's side, he ordered Wang Jin beside him: "Master Wang, although the Dang brothers once helped the emperor in Gao Qiu's tent, but the traitors were rampant, the two of them just wanted to be in the army.
Generals who have been able to survive for a while have no choice but to succumb to strong power. I hope you will carefully urge them to correct their past mistakes and strictly supervise them, so that there will be two more useful people among the officers and generals of the Hedong New Army.
"
"Use people for their own use. If you rely on yourself to use them, you will give them to others. If you find talents there, you will lose weight here. If you drive them away, it will be a pity and painful..."
After Wang Jin listened to Xiao Tang's words, he suddenly remembered that when he had long talks with Xiao Tang, he mentioned that Gao Qiu harmed his colleagues in the army in the past, and sighed deeply at the lack of capable generals in the Song Dynasty's army.
Immediately, he also said to Xiao Tang: "Of course I know Xiao Renxia's hard work, and I will do my best to help Yu Xie... But when it comes to how to employ people, I still have something to ask Xiao Renxia.
The report is about Wang Wenbin."
Xiao Tang stopped when he heard this. He looked towards Wang Jin and asked, "Wang Wenbin? What's going on with him over there?"
Wang Jin smiled and said: "Xiao Renxia doesn't know something. Wang Wenbin came to my place yesterday evening and had a talk with his subordinate Bingzhuye in the name of being the instructor of the Forbidden Army. I told him about Xiao Renxia at that time.
Because the military affairs of the Song Dynasty were sluggish, how could you go to Hedong to create a good fighting force for the country? It also said that when you were not afraid of the power of Yuanshe Gao Er, you secretly carried out strategic planning to the west of Beijing and all the places east of Hedong, and you also purged the army.
Scum, conquering the local bandits who harmed the good people, and other matters. Although Wang Wenbin was silent, looking at his appearance, he seemed to have listened to what his subordinates said.
Later, Wang Wenbin also asked me for advice on gun and stick skills and military drills. Naturally, his subordinates also responded with all their heart. Wang Wenbin was also humble. He even said that he had benefited a lot, and he was not at all like he was when he first arrived in the county.
His words were exaggerated... His subordinates also heard him mention that Wang Wenbin said that although there were many generals in the imperial army in Bianjing, they had been hanging out in the capital for so long that they had not experienced battles and killings.
He had wasted what he had learned all his life. He seemed to be interested in trying to reconcile the relationship and resigned from his job as the gun and stick instructor of the imperial army in front of the palace, and asked the military commander to transfer him to the Hedong New Army so that he could contribute to the country with Bian Ting."
