Watching people after drinking shows their true nature.
For example, Huang Senping would not dare to reuse those who talked nonsense, threw things, lost their tempers, and cursed women in the future. Such people might not see any problems in normal times, but when something happens to them, they are likely to add insult to injury. In key positions, , may not be reliable.
Huang Senping did not write down everyone's words and deeds in a small notebook, but kept them in his mind silently. When he saw Qianhu holding a wine glass in his hands, pouring himself a glass of wine, smiling and saying nothing, his eyes lit up.
In fact, apart from Yu Siye, Lin Baifan of Baihu was not completely drunk. This guy was lying on the table and secretly ate a few dishes while others were acting drunk. It was obvious that he was pretending to be drunk.
Huang Senping secretly peeped for half an hour before leaving.
Yu Siye glanced in the direction of the side room, drank it all in one gulp, stood up and staggered out, followed closely by Lin Baifan.
In October, the nights in Quanzhou are still not cold.
A little cool.
Lin Baifan walked out and saw no one came out, so he walked towards the dark place and said to Yu Siye who was waiting: "Yu Qianhu, how is the new commander doing?"
Yu Siye looked up at the night sky, where the stars were sparse: "I can only say that he is not simple. As for what he likes, it is difficult to say clearly. If my prediction is good, he will probably find you and me tomorrow."
Lin Baifan squeezed out crow's feet from the corners of his eyes: "He wants to watch people after drinking. After we let him watch, we should also ask questions. But how to answer? You must know that Zhou Yuan is not an easy person to mess with, and he has a lot of helpers around him. .”
"helper?"
Yu Siye chuckled, shook his head and said: "The helpers around him are nothing more than wine sacks and rice sacks, they are just trying to get along with others and seek favors. Once Zhou Yuan loses power, those people will not only leave immediately, but also turn against him. There is life and death among sergeants. Friendship, there are often conflicts of interest between generals and officers."
Lin Baifan sighed: "Zhou Yuan went out on a trip and lost thirty sergeants. He also lied that he was afraid of pirates and ran away, which made the families of those sergeants unable to hold their heads up. If this matter cannot be handled well, I would rather become an incarnation. Sea pirates..."
Yu Siye's face darkened: "What do you want to do?"
Lin Baifan gritted his teeth: "If the court cannot uphold justice, then let us bring justice ourselves! Haven't you read the book? How do you say that, Chaowen..."
"If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!"
"In my opinion, it should be changed to: Kill evildoers in the morning and die at night!"
Yu Siye bumped Lin Baifan with his shoulder and said in a low voice: "That's enough. After being a sergeant for so many years, why are you still so irritable? Don't say this again! You have to remember that we are still here, and there is still hope for the Quanzhou General Guard." .”
Lin Baifan lowered his head, turned and left.
Yu Siye sighed deeply.
Huang Senping did not ask them for questioning the next day as Yu Siye expected. Instead, he ordered all the generals to wait at the office and then lost news.
Everyone was waiting, but Huang Senping was nowhere to be found.
It was not until an hour later that Huang Senping walked in from the outside and said guiltily: "I just chatted with some sergeants, but I was late. I should apologize to you all."
Zhou Yuan, Cai Ye and others did not dare to bear it.
After Huang Senping sat down, he said bluntly: "There were pirates in Hui'an some time ago. Five hundred sergeants were dispatched from the guard station, but thirty sergeants were lost. The family members said that the sergeants fled because they were afraid of the pirates. Zhou commanded the Qianshi, Is that really the case?"
Zhou Yuan bit the bullet and said, "That's true."
Huang Senping asked: "Why did such a good sergeant escape? You need a reason, right?"
Zhou Yuan lamented, hating that iron cannot be made into steel: "The pirates who invaded Hui'an are quite powerful. Some soldiers are afraid of death and dare not take action. They sneaked out of the camp in the middle of the night. It's really because I didn't keep strict supervision and I didn't know how to control them. Why? Commander Huang, please punish me!"
Huang Senping waved his hand: "If a sergeant is afraid of death and deserted, what does it have to do with you? Where is the crime? I have also led soldiers and fought in battles. I have seen some people fleeing and running away. However, most sergeants do not know how to do this. Run, do you know why?"
Sharp eyes swept over everyone, but no one spoke.
Huang Senping said solemnly: "Because of hatred, family, and military discipline!"
Yu Siye stared at Huang Senping with bright eyes.
Indeed, everyone is afraid of death. There is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead. It is easy to be hacked to death, shot to death, or stabbed to death. But in wars, you must overcome the fear of death and fight!
There are often three forces that overcome the fear of death:
Hatred, family, military discipline!
Hatred gives people the power to fight against all odds, family gives people the determination to protect everything, and military discipline gives people the will to move forward!
Huang Senping took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, unfolded it and said: "According to my investigation, among the thirty missing sergeants, their families are harmonious and they have wives and children. So why did they abandon their families and choose to escape? There is one among them It’s a Baihu named Ningdu, nicknamed Ning Toad, who once killed pirates with his own hands. Would such a person be greedy for life and afraid of death?”
When Cai Ye saw Huang Senping searching for the root of the matter, he stood up and said, "I have had too many comfortable days. I am afraid that the courage and courage I had back then will be gone, so I have become fearful."
Huang Senping took a deep look at Cai Ye and then asked, "How many pirates were there who invaded Hui'an?"
"this……"
Cai Ye hesitated and said: "According to the report from Hui'an County, there are a lot of pirates, roughly seventy or eighty people. It's not clear whether there are more."
Huang Senping laughed out loud: "The Quanzhou Guards have five hundred elites. Facing less than a hundred pirates, they scared away thirty soldiers without even fighting them? Cai Qianhu, after the pirates heard that the Quanzhou Guards were dispatched , were you so frightened that you disappeared without a trace?"
Cai Ye thought for a while and said seriously: "The pirates disappeared later..."
Huang Senping suddenly stood up: "Do you think I am blind or deaf? There are five hundred sergeants of the Quanzhou Guard stationed outside Hui'an City. They have made no achievements but lost thirty sergeants. It is simply shameful! You could have taken the initiative to kill all the pirates. As a result, I didn’t move, but the Navy’s people took action, and all the military achievements were taken advantage of by the Navy!”
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan had no choice but to come forward and apologize: "It was because I didn't think well at the time. I only cared about the safety of the people in Hui'an County, and I didn't know the number of pirates. That's why I focused on prevention and didn't take the initiative to attack."
Huang Senping turned his gaze to Zhou Yuan and shook his head: "These are not problems, the problem is where these sergeants have gone! The dignified Quanzhou Guard sergeant, with hundreds of brothers around him, cannot run away in fear of the few bandits! Yes, there can't be as many as thirty sergeants! This matter needs to be investigated in detail."
Zhou Yuan said seriously: "Follow your orders."
Huang Senping nodded slightly: "When the Hui'an pirates incident occurred, it was Zhou who commanded Qian Shi to lead people to quell the rebellion and intimidate the pirates so that they would not dare to invade Hui'an. That's why the navy oriole was behind. However, the loss of a sergeant at the guard station is a big deal. , we must investigate clearly. Let’s do this, all the sergeants in Hui’an County at that time will go with Commander Zhou to investigate, and strive to find the missing sergeant within half a month!”
"this……"
Zhou Yuan's expression changed.
Something seems to be wrong. You have just taken office, and after having a drink, why are you still trying to "tune the tiger away from the mountain"? The Hui'an pirates initially wanted to mobilize Gu Zhengchen to leave Jinjiang City, but why did the dart take so long to swing back into his lap?
Huang Senping continued to explain: "There are many mountains to the east of Hui'an County, so it is difficult to find them without a few people. In addition, the sergeants who followed know the missing sergeants well, so it will be easier to find them. You have experience in going to Hui'an, so make another trip. Familiar with the road..."
Zhou Yuan had no reason or qualification to object.
If he leads the expedition by himself, he can only take responsibility for deserters and find others to look for him. Zhou Yuan is not at ease. What's more, this is the first time Huang Senping has issued an official order since taking office. It is useless to object and it will only make him dissatisfied, so why bother.
Lin Baifan looked at Huang Senping with a faint smile on his face.
Obviously, Huang Senping had deep intentions in this arrangement. He was very smart and knew that Zhou Yuan had controlled the Quanzhou Guard for a long time. He also knew that Zhou Yuan would definitely bring a group of confidants with him when he led troops out.
Now, Zhou Yuan and these people were all transferred out of the camp at once, and the name was very legitimate, so that no one could find any flaws.
Although there are still two grassroots in Quanzhou Wei, Wu Ju and Qu Huan, after all, Yu Siye is also a thousand households. With the help of Yu Siye, it may be possible to complete the internal rectification of Quanzhou Wei within half a month.
Huang Senping attached great importance to Zhou Yuan and entrusted him with the important task of sending him out of the camp in person, not forgetting to say a few words of care. This made Zhou Yuan confused about the situation and whether Huang Senping was deliberately targeting him or just doing business.
After Zhou Yuan left, Huang Senping did not take any action. He just went about his official duties every day. In his free time, he went to the sergeants' pile to chat and ask questions. Occasionally, he chatted with the sergeants' family members across the yard, asking for questions and looking for problems.
Three days later, after the official documents were processed, Huang Senping called out to Yu Siye who was about to leave: "Yu Qianhu, did you know that there was gambling among the sergeants under your command? How dare you mess up the law like this in the important place of the guard camp!"
Yu Siye frowned.
There are sergeants in the Quanzhou Guard who gamble, and there are also some among their own subordinates. This is a fact.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The other sergeants under Qianhu are playing and training with his own sergeants. He will be regarded as an alien and he will also be ostracized. In the same way, if they have people who gamble, then they also have people under their control.
It's just that Commander Huang just brought it up to criticize himself, which is a bit hurtful.
Wu Ju and Qu Huan wanted to join in the fun and hear how Huang Senping dealt with it, but Huang Senping only asked, "Do your sergeants also gamble?" and the two men ran away.
Huang Senping looked at Yu Siye, who was a little uneasy, and said: "I heard from the sergeant that you are called Little Zhuge in Quanzhou. You have many ideas, can do things, have many strategies, are upright, and don't do anything like a fly or a dog. You are quite famous in the army. Prestige. You can’t even control sergeants’ gambling, so where is your prestige?”
Yu Siye lowered his head to receive the instruction. Seeing no one around him, he said in a deep voice, "I'll bet too!"
"You bet too?"
Huang Senping stared and his face became stern.
Yu Siye saluted solemnly and said in a low voice: "The sergeant is betting on wealth, I am betting on the future of the Quanzhou Guard, and Commander Huang's loyalty to the imperial court!"
"I have something to do at home tomorrow, and it's my wife's birthday. I'll take a special day off to spend time with my family. It's always been hard for Jingxue to take leave at the beginning of the month, but there are so many things. Thank you for your understanding and support."
