Arriving at the Fengwu Army Staff Headquarters, Yue Qing in the office was preparing to summarize the progress of the anti-corruption department in the recent period, but found that the expressions of his colleagues around him were a bit strange, and some of them were still secretly paying attention to him. ·······················
After discovering this, Yue Qing was a little surprised. He didn't know what was going on. He first thought there was something wrong with his clothes, but he looked left and right and didn't find anything wrong with his clothes.
Just when Yue Qing was puzzled, his subordinate Tang Fei walked over and whispered in his ear:
"Your Excellency, Lin Huaiwu, has come to Yijing. He is now walking towards the Marshal's Mansion step by step from the West City Gate to plead guilty!"
As soon as these words came out, Yue Qing's expression was suddenly startled, and there was a bit of disbelief in his eyes. Seeing that Yue Qing didn't seem to believe it, Tang Fei was also a little anxious, and then continued:
"Sir, it's true that Lin Huaiwu was walking towards the Marshal's Mansion naked and carrying thorns on his back. The entire General Staff already knows about this. Please come up with a charter as soon as possible!"
Hearing what Tang Fei said, Yue Qingcai gradually recovered and took a deep breath with a wry smile on his face.
No wonder those colleagues looked at me so weird just now. It turned out that Lin Huaiwu had pulled this trick!
I originally thought that with Lin Huaiwu's big heart, it would be good if he could wipe his butt well now, but I didn't expect that he would actually pull this trick. It seems that there is an expert behind him to guide him. Thinking of this, Yue Qing also changed. Headache·······················
For a long time in the past, although the military department led by Yue Qing seemed to be critical, the main task of the Fengwu Army at that time was external expansion.
Therefore, in order to ensure that this task is completed to the maximum extent, some problems are covered up intentionally or unintentionally. Even if there are problems, they are worried about affecting the morale of the military and are interfered by the commanders of various generals. Even in the eyes of some radical military figures , the military and official departments led by Yue Qing, if they don’t go to the front line to make contributions, they only know how to mess with their own people behind the scenes.
Under this background, the military and official departments led by Yue Qing are becoming increasingly useless and are even at risk of being marginalized, so Yue Qing is also anxious in his eyes.
It was not that Yue Qing had never thought of admonishing Ye Mingsheng, but at that time, the Fengwu Army was continuously in Yunbin and Jiyu had taken over a large area of land. The generals and commanders of various ministries were in high spirits and glory.
Yue Qing knew very well that at that time, it was never a good time to tell Ye Mingsheng about the accumulated shortcomings in the army. Even though the commander-in-chief was attaching great importance to army construction, at that time, the generals and commanders had achieved military success one by one, and the commander-in-chief had no excuse to touch them. .
Even if he is not the chief officer of the general army, he will be jointly liquidated by these generals and commanders. The Fengwu Army can do without him as the chief officer of the general army, but it cannot be without these generals who can fight. So at that time, It’s self-evident what decision the commander will make...
So at that time Yue Qing chose to be patient, he had to wait for an opportunity to strike back!
Although he chose to be patient, it did not mean that Yue Qing did nothing. He gave orders to his men to keep quiet and quietly collect evidence of the generals' crimes, and then send the evidence of these generals' crimes to his On hand.

In this way, the entire secret operation lasted for nearly a year. Yue Qing also accumulated a lot of evidence. During the period of time when he was collecting evidence, the Fengwu Army deployed heavily on the Yunbin battlefield, but considerable progress was made. Not going well.
At this time, Yue Qing was also keenly aware of Ye Mingsheng's dissatisfaction, and this also made him realize that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally come!
He wrote an article to Ye Mingsheng. In the article, he eloquently described the shortcomings in the army to Ye Mingsheng. He bluntly said that the fundamental reason why the Fengwu Army did not meet expectations on the Yunbin battlefield was the long-standing shortcomings in the army. In addition to giving Ye Mingsheng While writing the article, he also presented some of the evidence he collected to Ye Mingsheng.
Next, just as Yue Qing expected, Ye Mingsheng, who has always been very sensitive to anti-corruption, became very angry after feeling that corruption was spreading in the Fengwu Army he founded. I vow to find out the bad apples among the generals one by one...
After receiving Ye Mingsheng's order, Yue Qing, like an imperial minister holding Shang Fang's sword, began to take the lead in this large-scale inspection operation.
After finally getting this opportunity, Yue Qing also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to establish his and the military department's status in the Fengwu Army in one fell swoop!
There are only a few chairs in Fengwu Army. If you want to get up, the best way is to pull one down and step on his shoulders!
That's what Yue Qing thought, and his chosen target was Lin Huaiwu!
Yue Qing had given full consideration to the choice of Lin Huaiwu. To be honest, although Ye Mingsheng was very strict with his subordinates, he was in a high position and held great power. Even if you didn't want it, those people would come around and use money. Magnesium astringency keeps corroding you.
Therefore, among the senior generals of the Fengwu Army, Lin Huaiwu is not the only one who has problems. A considerable number of them are also taking measures to enrich themselves for public benefit. However, these people also have fears in their hearts, so they quietly try to find some details. Don’t dare to make the pen too big!
Only Lin Huaiwu has been in charge of Yunbin for more than a year and has made nearly 20,000 taels of silver. The impact has been very bad. In addition, as the commander-in-chief of the Yunbin battlefield, he must not be able to shirk the responsibility for the unfavorable progress of the Fengwu Army. !
Of course, in addition to the above reasons, the reason why Yue Qing chose Lin Huaiwu as his target also had his own personal reasons...
Among the military elders in the Fengwu Army, Yuan Song and He Jingyun are older and have very calm and low-key personalities. Although Guo Zhiping is not excluded because of his background, it is difficult for him to integrate into the mainstream. So even if he wanted to be high-profile, he couldn't.
Only Lin Huaiwu was a military attache of the Forbidden Army, and he was one of the first to follow Ye Mingsheng. He was the most senior in the Fengwu Army, so he often seemed a bit arrogant. Except for Yuan Song, He Jingyun, Guo Zhiping and several elders of the same level. , he rarely gives other people face.
At the same time, Lin Huaiwu interfered most deeply with the affairs of the Second Army. Therefore, as the chief officer of the General Army, Yue Qing had long been very dissatisfied with Lin Huaiwu. However, at that time, Ye Mingsheng favored Lin Huaiwu, so Yue Qing could only take this anger out of anger. Swallow it.
And now that he has this opportunity, Yue Qing will naturally not let it go. He will use Lin Huaiwu's head as a step to his advancement!
During this period, while Yue Qing was digging for evidence of Lin Huaiwu's crimes, he also actively advised Ye Mingsheng to explain Lin Huaiwu's harm to the Fengwu Army. He said that not killing Lin Huaiwu was not enough to calm the anger of the soldiers, and not killing Lin Huaiwu was not enough to improve military discipline. .
The commander has been hesitating about this matter, so Yue Qing also urged his subordinates to dig out evidence for Lin Huaiwu as soon as possible. Although the commander has feelings for Lin Huaiwu, as long as he can produce more evidence, the commander will definitely take the overall situation as his Heavy·······················
This time the commander-in-chief transferred Lin Huaiwu to serve as the commander-in-chief of Qilu. Yue Qing thought victory was in sight, but he never expected that Lin Huaiwu would play such a trick on him!
Just when Yue Qing was thinking about how to deal with it, a guard came over and said:
"Master Yue, Director Zhao asked you to go to a meeting in half an hour!"
Hearing the news, Yue Qing's heart suddenly sank. There was no agenda for the general staff meeting today, so Zhao Han went to ask him to have a meeting now. This meeting was obviously added temporarily, so the topic of the meeting was obvious!
Although I don't know what Zhao Han, the old fox, was thinking at this time, but as the saying goes, it is a blessing, not a curse, and it is a curse that cannot be avoided, so Yue Qing nodded to the guard, indicating that he understood, and the guard immediately left.
Half an hour later, in the conference room of the General Staff Headquarters, several important figures including Zhao Han, Yue Qing and others were all present. Zhao Han reported directly without any nonsense:
"Commander Lin Huai of Wulin came to Marshal Yi Jing but did not meet him. He was kneeling in front of the Marshal's Mansion at this time, begging the Marshal for his sins!" In addition, Commander Lin also donated a Fifteen thousand taels of silver, and another assorted goods worth ten thousand taels of silver! "
"You are all important members of the Fengwu Army. Please share your opinions on this matter!"
After hearing what Zhao Han said, it did not involve their own interests, so everyone else in the conference room had a picky mentality, saying that it was all up to Director Zhao to make the decision... ·············
After getting everyone's answers, Zhao Han looked at Yue Qing and said in a deep voice:
"Master Yue, you are the official of the General Army. You have the most say in this matter. I wonder what you are thinking now?"
Seeing Zhao Han throw the ball to him, Yue Qing also cursed secretly in his heart. After hearing what Zhao Han just said, he knew that it would be difficult to kill Lin Huaiwu now. Although the marshal did not see Lin Huaiwu at the moment, he would probably I also want to spare Lin Huaiwu’s life!
However, the commander-in-chief cannot speak first about the matter of sparing Lin Huaiwu, so Zhao Han, an old fox, also thought of this, so he wanted to intercede for Lin Huaiwu in the name of the General Staff, so that everything would fall into place. Well, he, Zhao Han, was also appreciated by the commander.
Feeling Zhao Han's meaningful eyes, although Yue Qing was unwilling to do so, he also understood that the situation was stronger than his own. His arms could not twist his thighs, but now he and Lin Huaiwu were fighting to the death. If he was allowed to take a breath, he would definitely It's about finding trouble for yourself.
Therefore, for the sake of future safety, even if Lin Huaiwu's life cannot be taken, the possibility of Lin Huaiwu's comeback must be completely eliminated!
Thinking of this, Yue Qing met Zhao Han's gaze and said in a deep voice:
"Although General Lin's hard work has made great achievements, the amount of corruption he committed is shocking. Therefore, for the sake of upholding military discipline, I believe that the death penalty is punishable, but the crime of living is unavoidable. He should be dismissed from all positions and exiled to Posuo Mansion... ···············”
··························
··························
Just when Yi Jing was caught in a power struggle, Yuan Song and Xun Ke were discussing the war situation in the Fengwu Army camp in Jinzhong.
Looking at the coordinates on the sand table, Xun Ke said with a very serious expression!
"Master Yuan, according to the current reports from the cavalry troops ahead, the Yun Bing armies in Wenshan, Xiaode, and Yi counties are very heavily guarded and vigilant, and are equipped with a lot of firearms!"
"In addition, in the past few months, Wang Muzhi has been strengthening the city wall in order to target our army's firearms. He has built a tight defense line in this direction, just waiting for our army to rush up and chew it!"
Listening to Xun Ke's introduction, Yuan Song also nodded silently. In the past few days, they dispatched seven or eight small groups of cavalry to continuously penetrate the enemy's rear.
In order to ensure the safety of these small groups of cavalry and prevent them from being made dumplings by Wang Muzhi, Yuan Song falsely shot Wang Muzhi in Dagu County, creating the illusion of a trap for Wang Muzhi. But in fact, Yuan Song did this just because he wanted to Just testing the reality of Yun Bingjun.
There is a saying in the art of war that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in every battle. As soon as he arrived at the Yunbin battlefield, Yuan Song inspected the grassroots soldiers and got a thorough understanding of the situation at the grassroots level. In this way, he became a close friend, and now what he does is to know the enemy. ·······················
Judging from the current investigation, Wang Muzhi is still very capable. He has built a solid defense line with three county towns on the east side of Jinyang. If he wants to capture Jinyang, he basically has no choice. It's possible to bypass this line of defense!
Seeing that Yuan Song didn't speak, Xun Ke continued to offer advice:
"Sir, since we can't get around the enemy's defense line, our army will ask the commander for more heavy artillery, and then use all the heavy artillery to attack a county, and by analogy, we will eat down these three county towns one by one!"
In the past, when facing this kind of fortified city, whether the army adopted soil attack, mountain building or other methods, the core idea was to use human lives to fill it. After the Fengwu Army tasted the addition of firearms, they also made some changes in their tactics. Many changes, the core idea is to use cannonballs to replace human lives. Those who can be blown up by cannonballs will never charge with human bullets!
Now the Third Army has basically completed the restoration of its establishment and has returned to the size of 50,000 people. Therefore, the total number of Fengwu troops on the Yunbin battlefield has exceeded 100,000, and the total number is around 110,000. However, Because some troops must be left to guard the rear, the maximum number of troops that can be used to launch an attack is no more than 90,000...
