Chapter 974: Aftermath

Zhao Yu hated Wenshan and Huihai the most in his previous life, but after becoming the emperor in this life, he was deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself, and there was nowhere to talk about helplessness and suffering. In the morning, he discussed with Liu Chenweng for a long time the issue of reforming people, and in the afternoon he punished the two commanders of the Second Division, but he knew that it was easy to deal with two people, and the most important thing was to deal with the aftermath, and he should not only let the whole army take this as a warning, but also appease and stabilize the mood of the officers and men, so that the combat effectiveness of the troops should not be affected because of this.

Therefore, Zhao Yu once again emphasized at the meeting that the current task of the army is to defeat Meng Yuan and recover the Central Plains, and everything must be made around this matter. All those who stand in the way of achieving this goal must be eliminated, such as Li Hongbin, a military commander who is afraid to fight for the fear of taking responsibility, and a black sheep like Yan Yue, who abuses his power, forms gangs, and suppresses his colleagues, will definitely be driven out of the army.

Later, accompanied by the generals, Zhao Yu went to the medical hospital to visit Pang Fu and others, and told them to recuperate in peace, and then inspected the garrison of the Second Division, summoned the officers above the capital level to hold a forum, announced the decision to dismiss the two commanders, and explained the reasons, praised the heroic performance of the officers and soldiers in this battle, and ordered a group of soldiers to be commended, but took the initiative to assume the leadership responsibility for the defeat in this battle.

After the inspection, Zhao Yu did not leave, but had dinner with the army in the canteen, and encouraged everyone again, asking them not to carry their burdens because of the defeat in this battle. Under the leadership of the new commander, they are required to strengthen military training and make new contributions, and strive to show the prestige of the first army in the next battle, so as not to be slumped down because of this.

Considering that the matter here had been dealt with, and the date of his agreement with Zhu Zai was approaching, Zhao Yu refused to be retained by the generals and returned to Beijing on the baggage boat of Yanziji Water Camp. Except for a few high-ranking officers and the prefect Liu Chenweng who saw them off on the dock, they did not alarm the others, just as they came quietly and left Jiankang quietly......

"Sister Shufei, why hasn't the official family woken up yet, can't it be sick?"

"No, the officials are just tired. Since we arrived in Jiankang, His Majesty organized a rescue operation, and after the end, he was busy with the aftermath, and he almost didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights, even the iron man couldn't stand it! ”

Zhao Yu had actually woken up, but as Li Sanniang said, he was really tired, and he didn't want to open his lazy eyes, pretending to listen to the two wives talking. It wasn't very kind, but he wanted to see what they would say and do behind his back, and he thought it was funny. Just when he was feeling beautiful in his heart, he suddenly put a hand on his head, which startled him, but he still held back and didn't move.

"The official's head seems to be a little hot, do you want to find a doctor to take a look?" Wang Yu touched her head again, and said softly with concern, but she didn't notice that His Majesty was pretending to sleep.

"The official family is not as weak as you think, just let him rest well, let's sit over there!" Although Li Sanniang said that it was okay, she still touched the emperor's forehead, and pulled the quilt for him.

"These two little girls are quite distressing!" Zhao Yu was secretly happy in his heart, his eyes opened a gap, and peeked at it, the two of them did not leave, but just sat down on the soft couch next to him, still guarding him.

"Sister Shufei, I think the official family is unfair!" Wang Yu lit the charcoal stove and said while boiling tea.

"Is the official unfair? Where do you start? Li Sanniang was stunned.

"You see that after the defeat of this operation, the official family dismissed the two chief officers of the Second Division, but Li Dutong was only dismissed from his post without further investigation. But Yan Yuhou asked him to return to Beijing to deal with his crimes, and obviously he had to investigate his crimes. Wang Yu said.

"Shhh, the rule in the palace is that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, don't talk about these things!" Li Sanniang heard this, but hurriedly stopped.

"Sister, these two people don't know each other from us, and they have nothing to do with it, they just talk about things, and the official family is asleep, and there is no one else around, so it's okay to talk about it!" Wang Yu whispered, but she didn't know that what she said did not escape the emperor with two cat ears.

"Concubine Chen, have you ever heard the story of Confucius killing Shao Zhengmao?" Li Sanniang thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes, I know!" Wang Yu nodded and said, "Back then, Shao Zhengmao and Confucius opened the altar to teach at the same time, causing Confucius's students to run to him, and his classes were full of money and three voids. Later, Confucius became the chief secretary of the Lu State, and immediately had people kill him under two views. ”

Zigong was puzzled afterwards and asked: Shao Zhengmao is a well-known person in the Lu Kingdom, teacher, did you kill him, did you do the right thing? Confucius said: There are five kinds of crimes in people, and theft is not counted: the first is to be brave and dangerous, the second is to be secluded and strong, the third is to argue with falsehood, the fourth is to remember ugliness and be broad, and the fifth is to follow the wrong. If one of these five crimes is committed, it is inevitable that he will be killed by the gentleman, and Shao Zhengmao will be an outstanding figure among the wicked if he commits five crimes, and he cannot be killed. ”

What Concubine Chen said is that Shao Zhengmao can incite the disciples of Confucius, and he wants to hide Confucius, and he must not work with the same dynasty, and he is a black sheep. Confucius dealt a cruel blow to him, not only because he was arguing about the chaos of politics for a while, but also because he set a premonition for later generations to kill people with academics. Li Sanniang nodded and said, "Whether in the government or the opposition or in the army, if a person just has no extraordinary talent and is willing to be controlled, it is not enough to become a black sheep." ”

And the real black sheep are: forming gangs, forming friends, and cracking down on those who slander others; a person who is vain and sensationalizes with peculiar behavior; People who often unrealistically exaggerate and spread rumors and deceive the public; Those who ignore the rules, deliberately tell right and wrong, and incite everyone; A person who cares about his own interests and losses, and often mobilizes the army to blackmail, or secretly colludes with the enemy to blackmail. ”

These five types of people are what people often call treacherous, hypocritical, and morally corrupt villains. A gentleman should alienate them, not only should not get close to them, but should also get rid of the black sheep within the organization as soon as possible to maintain the unity and vitality of the organization. His Majesty thinks that Yan Yue is the black sheep in the army, and he should be severely punished for forming gangs, sensationalizing, spreading rumors, and cracking down on slander against others. However, Li Dutong only lacked the ability to lead the troops, not a loss of conduct, so he was naturally only dismissed from his post and appointed separately. ”

"I see!" Wang Yu nodded lightly, and suddenly said, "I have heard a lot about it, saying that officials don't know the scriptures and history, don't like to read, and only love to dance knives and guns, and tinker with skills. It seems that they are all rumors, otherwise how would the officials know the allusions, and the next time I hear them, I will pull out their tongues! ”

"The official family is not as unbearable as the rumors, and I think that Ying Jieyan, Jiang Xuan and Deng Guangjian can all be called the great Confucians of the world, and they have been taught carefully for many years. Besides, the court and the central government will hold sutra feasts every winter and summer, and invite famous Confucian people to give lectures, and with the wisdom of the official family, they have no intention of learning, and they will listen to it. Li Sanniang said a little funny.

"In this way, the official family deliberately revealed the rude side of the world, but in fact, he is very knowledgeable, and all this is pretended!" Wang Yu was a little surprised by her new discovery.

"Not necessarily, if you ask the official to recite a large number of scriptures and historical articles, I am afraid it will be difficult, but the official can understand the truth and draw inferences, which is beyond the reach of others. This is also the reason why the official family always looks down on those scholars who can only speak big truths, but they like to appoint officials who are familiar with affairs. Li Sanniang chuckled.

"Alas, I didn't expect that it was her who knew herself best!" Zhao Hao sighed secretly. He knew himself very well, although after coming to this era, he was influenced by the ancient culture and learned to manage the country and the army. But he always couldn't help but think of his short career as an executive in his previous life, trying to manage the country and his ministers with the methods and methods of managing the enterprise.

In the ideal of Zhao Hao's previous life, a good enterprise must have a good system and culture. The company should invest funds to give employees the opportunity to learn and further their studies, so that they can go to universities for graduate studies, and middle and senior cadres will go to various parts of the world from time to time to broaden their horizons and learn from external experience. The purpose of setting up your own training base, or even a university, is to enhance the knowledge and capabilities of your employees.

At the same time, it advocates the value of struggle to change fate, creates a fair and just working environment for employees, implements a humanized and affectionate management model, and enhances the value of employees. More work and more rewards should not only stay in the basic salary and commission structure, but also require a more refined division of labor and distribution to improve the enthusiasm and sense of belonging of employees. And the employee who leaves the company cannot be regarded as an enemy, even if the employee violates the company's high voltage line and makes a serious mistake, it is necessary to help him find a new job.

Although managing a business is very different from governing a country, this ideal and Tigu still affected Zhao Hao. When Li Hongbin was punished, he knew that he had followed him for more than ten years, and he could be described as loyal and never abandoned. The unfavorable command in this battle is due to his personal ability, and it is also because the current situation has suddenly pushed him to a high position and it is difficult to adapt to it, but there is no question of his conduct, as long as he is transferred from his command post and arranged to a post that can give full play to his ability.

But Yan Yue's situation is very different, Zhao Yu admits that he has the ability and means, thinking that a civilian official who is not in charge of the military can actually obey a group of military generals, and he can't do it without some ability. But he has political ambitions and is too poor in character, not only can he lead a team, but also spread it to others like a plague, which is what Confucius called the black sheep. So even if you have the ability, you can't use this kind of person anymore, and you can't let him turn over, this is a political decision, and I can't complain about his ruthlessness......

Going down the river, the speed of the ship was very fast, and after a day and two nights of non-stop sailing, it returned to Lin'an, and quietly returned to the palace at night. Knowing that the emperor had returned to the palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts that had been hanging for many days were finally relieved. But Zhao Yu was helpless, the bookcase was already full of official documents, and the scientific examination was also held the day after he returned, and he had time to be busy.

At this time, with the victory of the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the tide of the war has been reversed, and Meng Yuan has no strength to invade the south. Although the scale of the battle in Jiankang was much smaller, the impact could not be ignored, this battle was not only a military victory for the Song army, but also a heavy mental blow to the Yuan army. Thinking that the battle lasted only one day, a thousand households were completely annihilated, all property and population were plundered, and tens of thousands of troops were blocked on the way, but they were faced with more than 1,000 Song troops, which made them extremely frustrated.

According to the news from the Bureau, Habichi brought the lawsuit to Boyan, and he quarreled with the various ministries that came to help, and finally complained to each other. complained about why they didn't spare a few remnants of the soldiers and secretly let them go. This angered the Song army, not only was their homes destroyed, but they also suffered a lot of losses, but they were thankless.

Habichi was naturally angry, so he scuffled with them on the big tent. In the end, Boyan had to speak out, Habichi's wife and children died, and the people were killed and wounded, it can be said that he had nothing, and he had collapsed mentally. Knowing that the murderer was a letterman, more than a dozen of his subordinates who broke through with him outside the tent also committed suicide immediately, which was embarrassing.

Zhao Yu knew that the reason for this kind of thing was that the Mongolian army, which believed in the invincibility of the world, could not accept the reality that the Song army was so powerful after experiencing such a fiasco, not only could it cross the river at any time to launch a devastating blow to any of them, but also made them helpless, watching them return safely. This completely overturned their previous beliefs, realizing that they were no longer the army that could dominate the world, and thus realizing that revenge was hopeless, which was a heavy blow to their faith, and they did stupid things in despair.

The aftermath of this battle was equally obvious, the Mongol army along the river was like frightened birds, and the slightest disturbance on the other side would cause panic, and they had to shrink their defenses, concentrating the remote hundreds of households and thousands of households together, so that the land was largely barren. At the same time, they reached a tacit agreement not to intercept the small force of the Song army crossing the river, let it come and go, and even if they found it, they would send it out of the country as a gift, and they would not provoke a battle without authorization.

Unlike the Mongol army's comprehensive transfer to defense, the Song army is indeed hyping it up, lest the world not know. Zhao Yu is well aware of the truth of 'meritorious rewards, guilty punishments, no prejudices, no favoritism'. He rewarded the armies who participated in the war in Jiankang, and naturally he could not favor one over the other, and personally went to the water gate to greet the two sailors who returned to the dynasty victoriously, and presided over the prisoner sacrifice ceremony and issued a commendation order.

At the same time, the newspapers in the capital also reported the two victories one after another. But the focus is different, there are too many things to boast about in terms of scale and achievements in the water war, and the generals of the two departments are also veterans of the battlefield, so there are too many places to write. In contrast, Jiankang's battle was much inferior in terms of scale and combat performance, so Zhao Yu ordered them to focus on publicizing the tenacity and loyalty of the river-crossing detachment, and the other was that they would never give up on any of the Paoze brothers, which naturally omitted the section on his personal conquest. But he didn't expect to cause another storm......
