Chapter 448 Eliminate Dissenters
The Shenji Camp is located on the bank of Qujiang Pool in the south of the city.
The snow on the school grounds has been swept away, the woods in the distance are solemn and quiet, and the pavilions and palaces beside Qujiang Pond stand clearly.
It was morning exercise time, but the school grounds were noisy. Soldiers lined up in crooked lines, approaching in twos and threes, talking and laughing in low voices...
Liu Rengui and Duan Zan stood side by side in front of the window, looking at the scene on the school field in the distance, looking at each other in silence, sighing secretly.
Once upon a time, the brave Shenji battalion that could "attach" a thousand Turkic wolf cavalry and defeat three thousand Turkic cavalry became demoralized and military discipline was lax. This made the two men who created this army lose their morale. The elder felt very distressed, but was helpless...
As the saying goes, one emperor has one courtier. Ever since Fang Jun was transferred and the Shenji Camp came under the control of Chang Sun Chong, His Majesty the Emperor's favorite son-in-law has been obsessed with controlling the Shenji Camp, and has divided all the generals from Fang Jun's period. All were removed from their posts for reasons and replaced with children from aristocratic families who were close to the eldest grandson's family in the army.
What kind of virtue do these children from aristocratic families have?
It cannot be said that they are incapable, but their self-control is extremely poor. Under Fang Jun's high-pressure rule, these children of the aristocratic families did not dare to complain. Moreover, Shenji Camp's record was brilliant, Fang Jun was fair in dealing with things, Liu Rengui, Duan Zan, etc. People have outstanding abilities and these people are willing to obey.
However, when these children of aristocratic families who were usually lazy came to power, without strong suppression, their bad qualities were quickly exposed...
Laziness in training and corruption of military discipline cannot be cured by anyone.
A heroic soldier fell at a jaw-dropping speed...
Duan Zan sighed: "Old Liu, have you ever thought about being transferred? If you have any idea, brothers can work around it."
Different from others, Duan Zan was a meritorious queen after all, and his father was Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Bao. No matter how arrogant Chang Sun Chong was, he had to estimate Duan Zhixuan's face, so he just removed him from the position of chief officer of the first battalion and entrusted him with the position of deputy general. Without real power, his status is not bad.
Liu Rengui is a tragedy.
Among this team, the one with the most distinctive imprint of Fang Jun is Liu Rengui. Who said that it was Fang Jun who transferred Liu Rengui by name in the first place, and that he has been Fang Jun's confidant and favorite since he arrived? Changsun Chong found an excuse and took it to the end. He was only assigned a logistics and transportation position and was completely idle.
Duan Zan and Liu Rengui had always had a good relationship. Seeing Liu Rengui wasting his time here and being depressed and aggrieved all day long, he thought of using family connections to give Liu Rengui a future. Duan Zan admired Liu Rengui's ability very much. Such a capable general would be the commander's most reliable and favorite subordinate in any army. Why stay here without seeing a future?
Liu Rengui said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, brother, but no need. I, Liu Rengui, have no regrets. Even if I have to leave, I must leave in an upright manner. How can I beg for mercy from such villains as if I was running away?"
"Where do you start talking about this? Brother, I guarantee that as long as you want to leave, brother will have a way to get other troops to send transfer orders. Old Liu, you don't have to face Zhangsun at all, and he won't dare to stop you." Duan Zan knew Liu Rengui well. He has an extremely stubborn temper. If he doesn't like people or things, he would rather kill him than compromise...
While the two were talking, Yin Yuanzi walked in from outside the house and said angrily with a gloomy face: "That kid is really hateful!"
When Duan Zan heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "What stupid thing did that guy do again?"
Yin Yuan sneered: "More than stupid? It's simply stupid! He doesn't pay close attention to military discipline or training, but he thinks about the firearms workshop all day long. He obviously doesn't have the ability, but he still insists on pointing fingers. No, I heard that we An admiral has taken the liberty of Mr. Hou changed the gunpowder formula before, and the power was greatly reduced. Instead of reflecting on whether his idea was wrong, he scolded the master craftsmen in the workshop for not making the materials pure enough. This is the most ridiculous thing in the world! "
Duan Zan shook his head and sighed: "The eldest grandson's ability to seize power and attack is first-class, but when it comes to practical skills, it is really..." As he said this, he clicked his tongue in disdain.
Liu Rengui snorted and refused to comment. He was a kind person. Even if he faced the enemy-like Changsun Chong, he would not say bad words behind his back easily. If he wanted to scold someone, he would only scold them in person...
While the three of them were talking, they saw a soldier hurried over and said to Liu Rengui: "The Admiral has invited you!"
Liu Rengui raised his feet and was about to follow the soldier away, but Duan Zan grabbed his arm and whispered in his ear: "Pay attention to your attitude and suppress your anger, otherwise we will still suffer the consequences!"
Liu Rengui nodded silently, followed the soldier to the central military tent, and paid a military salute to Changsun Chong, who was sitting behind the desk: "In this humble position, please see your admiral."
Changsun Chong was hunched over his desk and ignored Liu Rengui's visit, as if he hadn't heard anything.
There was silence in the big tent.
Liu Rengui took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, spread his feet slightly, and faced each other in silence.
The anger in my heart surged, and I clashed with the eldest grandson!
If you don't speak, then I won't speak either...
One is crouching at his desk writing, while the other is standing like a pine tree, facing each other in silence, but there is an undercurrent surging in the space.
After half an hour, Changsun Chong put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his sore wrist, and continued to write for half an hour. It was a ghost until his hand was not sore...
Looking at Liu Rengui, who was standing upright, he said coldly: "Since you are here, why don't you inform me? If military affairs are delayed, can you afford it?"
"The good admiral knows that a certain person has announced loudly, but the admiral seems not to have heard it. I dare not disturb the admiral in handling important military matters." Liu Rengui's tone was calm, neither humble nor overbearing. He only counterattacked slightly, but Chang Sun Chong was already pretending to be pretentious. Eight generations of ancestors have sent greetings...
Military aircraft event?
There is no such thing as a military aircraft. He is just the chief officer of the Shenji Battalion. How can there be such a big military aircraft?
This is Chi Luoluo's taunt!
Changsun Chong's handsome and fair face flushed with two flushes, and he was secretly annoyed. I don't believe I can't subdue this stick like you!
"The results from the workshop today are not satisfactory. The improvement of the formula of new gunpowder has not made the progress it deserves. You have been assisting Fang Jun before and are quite familiar with gunpowder. You will report to the workshop later. Host Improvement of new gunpowder. I am not an unkind person. As long as you can achieve results in a short period of time, I agree to transfer you back and entrust you with important tasks.”
Liu Rengui shook his head secretly, not so much with anger as with contempt...
This son of the eldest son's family seems to be talented and quick-thinking, but in fact he lacks the ability to govern and is not good at handling practical matters. He only knows how to rely on strong suppression to fight for power and gain, but he has no tolerance for others and does not know how to win people's hearts.
Compared with Fang Jun, it's far behind!
Improve Fang Jun's gunpowder formula? If you want to kick me away, just say so. Why bother making up such a childish and ridiculous excuse?
With Fang Jun’s formula, you shouldn’t be able to achieve the perfect effect even for a single cent!
Immediately, Liu Rengui said calmly: "I thank the Admiral for your kindness. However, during the Western Expedition, I was attacked by Turkic wolf cavalry and was seriously injured. I have not been able to recover. Recently, I often feel pain in the wound. Therefore, I request the Admiral to allow me to resign." Military affairs, go home to heal.”
When Changsun Chong heard this, the expression on his face was wonderful...
That time, they bribed the Turks to send troops to attack the Shenji Camp at night. They originally expected to kill Fang Jun, but unexpectedly, Fang Jun led the Shenji Camp to show off their might and defeated the Turkic Wolf Cavalry. In vain, he accomplished a great feat. Created a great reputation at Nuo University!
Changsun Chong did not participate in the battle because he hid in the Chinese army's tent at Hou Junji in advance. He avoided the danger, but he also lost the opportunity to fight side by side with the Shenji Battalion. Although this incident was not caused by some people suspecting that he colluded with the Shenji Battalion, there was considerable criticism from the Shenji Battalion to Changsun Chong who failed to fight side by side with his comrades in times of crisis, which directly led to his return to Chang'an from Fang Jun's hands. After snatching the Shenji Camp, his prestige could not convince the public.
It can be said that the night attack on Shenji Camp was Changsun Chong's biggest failure!
If Liu Rengui brought it up now, how could he not make Changsun Chong angry?
However, Changsun Chong must be from a noble family, and he is very particular about his emotions and anger. Although he is very angry in his heart, he is patient and patient on the outside.
"That being the case, it's better to go home and recuperate, so that you can be useful and serve the country in the future. The Shenji Camp is waiting for your return at any time!"
Anyway, the purpose is to completely eliminate Fang Jun's power so that he can completely control Shenji Camp. He doesn't care whether Liu Rengui goes to the workshop or goes home.
But he is such a hypocritical person. Even if he is happy to kick Liu Rengui away, he still has to give false encouragement on his face, saying some "sincere words" that he thinks are very cultivated but make others sound disgusting. "...(End of this chapter)
