Chapter 402: Dispatch
Fighting in the deep mountains and old forests is indeed very suitable for the masters of Zhenwu Division.
But as Zuo Shilang, he didn't want the masters of the Zhenwu Division to be dispatched.
Wiping the butt of a guy like Ding Shaoqiang?
What's more, the court has yet to decide whether it is to suppress or to suppress, so why should the Zhenwu Division take action?
Even if the imperial court decided on a strategy of conquest and suppression, there was no need for the Zhenwu Division to dispatch.
It's not that the imperial army didn't have mountain warfare techniques, it's just that Ding Shaoqiang was unpopular.
Whether it was suppression or pacification, Ding Shaoqiang had to deal with it first, not only to give an explanation to the soldiers in Daliu Camp, but also to the entire Jihai Town, and to the whole world.
Why can the imperial court make such a greedy and despicable person the commander-in-chief?
Are the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War really dim-sighted, or is there someone above them, who protected and promoted Ding Shaoqiang?
All these must be explained.
Otherwise, not only the soldiers of Jihai Town would be unable to swallow this suffocating breath, but Da Jing's entire body would also be unable to swallow it.
The court must comply with the people's wishes.
Therefore, this matter still needs to be entangled, and there is no need to rush to send troops and take action.
Gao Lingfeng hurriedly ordered the Zhenwu Division masters to dispatch, not only because of Ninghai Town, but also because he could not tolerate rebellion in the army?
He is usually considerate of ordinary people, but hates martial arts masters deeply.
Now it seems that he also hates the soldiers a little.
The people of Dajing generally have a good impression of the army because it can win battles.
Those who hate the soldiers so much obviously suffered from the soldiers.
It can be inferred from this that the military towns in the east are indeed corrupt and have a lack of military discipline, which has aroused the resentment of the local people.
This is very hurtful to the people and the foundation.
When Chu Zhiyuan thought of this, he looked to the east with a solemn expression.
——
When Chu Zhiyuan came out of the Supervision Department, it was already brightly lit and gorgeous.
Jade City is still in a state of dissipation.
What happened in Jihai Town was very far away from Yujing City, as if it happened in another world.
He could hear people discussing the matter in every restaurant, each expressing their own opinions.
Some people think that Ding Shaoqiang's general troops should be captured first and directly imprisoned for punishment.
Greed and cruelty drove the soldiers to rebel, which was a serious crime.
Some people feel that even if Ding Shaoqiang is at fault, as a soldier, he should not defect and can directly complain to the court.
This was met with ridicule.
If Ding Shaoqiang could really be sued, how could he let Ding Shaoqiang do evil for so long?
It was obvious that there was someone above Ding Shaoqiang.
Just think about it, which general soldier has no one above his head? You can't be a general soldier without heels.
Chu Zhiyuan listened to these discussions while walking, shaking his head.
When he returned to the palace, dinner had just been prepared and he happened to be seated at the table.
Chu Yi hurriedly said: "Brother, do you know the news about Jihai Town?"
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Chu Minghou.
Chu Minghou shook his head: "We almost had a fight this morning. It was really unseemly."
Bai Ningshuang hummed: "Who is this Ding Shaoqiang?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Is he a disciple of Duke Kang?"
Chu Minghou nodded.
Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "Kang Guo Gong... it's very difficult to do."
The Duke of Kang of this generation is famous, has outstanding military exploits, and has a huge power in the army.
Kang Guogong's younger brother-in-law is Song Tianhai.
Chu Zhiyuan had been very careful with this Duke of Kang and did not provoke him again.
Now look, Duke Kang finally made a mistake.
Unfortunately, this is not a good time to attack Duke Kang.
Kang Guogong's family is not the only one in Dajing's army. The cake is just so big. If you eat more, I will naturally eat less.
There must have been a lot of confrontations in the court, and there was no shortage of people who would add insult to injury, so there was no need for him to get involved.
Bai Ningshuang said: "So what if Duke Kang Guo, can we still save him this time? It has aroused public outrage!"
Chu Minghou nodded.
Chu Yi blinked her bright eyes and glanced at Chu Zhiyuan.
Bai Ningshuang said: "Yuan'er, why don't you speak?"
"What mother said makes sense." Chu Zhiyuan said: "Ding Shaoqiang did cause public outrage, but..." He looked at Chu Minghou: "You didn't withdraw immediately, did you?"
Chu Minghou shook his head.
"Aren't you going to withdraw now?" Bai Ningshuang was puzzled.
Chu Minghou said: "There are still people who protect him, saying that there is nothing wrong with him...the method is rough, but the intention is good. There is nothing wrong in itself to build more warships for the imperial court."
Bai Ningshuang's eyes widened in surprise.
Chu Minghou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Even if Ding Shaoqiang is at fault, it is not appropriate for the court to investigate and deal with it at this time, so as not to chill the hearts of the court officials, it is first necessary to suppress the rebels in Daliu Camp."
"This..." Bai Ningshuang said in surprise: "This is to make black things look white. Anyone can say that good intentions lead to bad things. As long as something is done with good intentions, there is no sin? How ridiculous!"
Chu Minghou said: "The nobles of the imperial court are all here to protect Ding Shaoqiang."
Chu Yi hurriedly said: "Father, where are the Qingliu people?"
"They proposed that Ding Shao be imprisoned and put on trial to see if he had the purpose of being an unreliable person."
"That's right, we need to give him a good trial!" Chu Yi snorted: "He is definitely a corrupt official, and he will be tried first and then, so you are protecting him, right?"
Chu Zhiyuan coughed lightly.
Chu Yi and the other three looked over.
Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "As far as I know, this Ding Shaoqiang is really not a corrupt official."
All three of them stared.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "What he is greedy for is merit, not money."
Chu Yi said in surprise: "This guy is not greedy for money?"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "This Ding Shaoqiang is an upright and honest official, and he can set an example. He is responsible for his actions."
"...That's really hard to do." Chu Yi frowned slightly and said, "Ineffective in running the army? It doesn't seem to be a big crime."
If you lead troops to fight and cause a large number of soldiers to die due to ignorance, it is indeed a serious crime.
This time, because he pressed too hard and pressed too hard, the soldiers were too exhausted, but no one died at the beginning.
In the eyes of the officials of the imperial court, it is just a little tiring and a little bitter. Those who rebel because of this should be punished.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "It seems that the imperial censors in the court are also well-informed and know about Ding Shaoqiang's official reputation."
"No wonder." Chu Minghou suddenly realized: "No wonder the censors are not loud and Ding Shaoqiang is fine."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said: "If you ask for credit and flatter others, you won't be severely punished?"
Chu Minghou said: "Looking at my father's intention, it seems that he has no intention of punishing Ding Shaoqiang."
"Is that the conquest of Daliu Camp?"
"I didn't say that." Chu Minghou shook his head: "Father seems to have not made a decision yet."
Chu Yi said: "Then let's give Ding Shaoqiang a chance to see if he can make meritorious deeds and clean up Daliu Camp."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Chu Yi is still very sensitive to government affairs, so these words should hit the target.
It seems that the emperor has no intention of severe punishment. Is this because he is afraid of chilling the hearts of his ministers?
If Ding Shaoqiang was a corrupt official, it would not be so troublesome, but he was an honest official.
It can be said that he is greedy for credit and seeks favors, or that he is dedicated to acting for the court.
It just depends on what angle you look at it.
Chu Yi said: "Brother, your Phoenix Battalion won't be dispatched, right?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "What are you doing at Phoenix Camp?"
But his heart moved slightly.
You won’t dispatch the Phoenix Battalion, right?
That is killing a chicken with a knife.
Chu Minghou said: "Someone really suggested that the Phoenix Battalion be dispatched."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
Chu Minghou said: "There are still many people who have made such suggestions."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned even more tightly.
He didn't even want to move out of the Zhenwu Division, let alone the Phoenix Battalion.
But just as he was thinking about it, Feng Xi hurriedly came in: "Your Majesty, Mr. Huang is here to announce his decree."
"A decree for Yuan'er?"
"Yes."
Chu Zhiyuan suddenly felt ominous.
Do you really want to dispatch the Phoenix Battalion?
