Chapter 845 I will never allow anyone to insult my soldiers
Zhao Hu stopped talking, and the other generals said nothing more than they were very upset with the bird civil servant.

Indeed, the performance of the civil servants along the way has surprised everyone. Now that the overall contempt for the civil servants in the rebel army has reached a very serious level, it is inevitable that this will happen.

Xiao Ruxun was happy to see this scene.

Yuan Huang and Mei Guozhen couldn't get in a word, they could only watch the generals express their contempt and dissatisfaction with the civil servants.

In the end, Xiao Ruxun ended the discussion with his words.

"All in all, I'll meet Ye Ping, and I'm going. You collect ships and speed up the construction of ships. After Wuchang Mansion is over, I will march into Nanjing and then go to the Northern Expedition. At that time, it will be a decisive battle."

The generals shook their spirits, clasped their fists and shouted in unison: "Obey!"

"Go back!"

"Yes!"

After the generals withdrew, Xiao Ruxun left Yuan Huang and Mei Guozhen behind, and had to discuss some matters with them.

"Yuan Gong, Mei Gong, you say, Ye Gong will believe what I say, and stand by my side and follow me to the north to attack Shen Yiguan?"

Yuan Huang stroked his beard, and said slowly: "It's very likely, Ji Xin, you and Ye Meng Xionggong have a very good relationship, and mutual trust between you is very rare, so the old man thinks , with a high probability of success.”

Mei Guozhen kept nodding.

"I thought it was the same. Mr. Ye Mengxiong has a high reputation. He is also the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. He is the head of civil servants in the south of the Ming Dynasty. His appeal is not the same as mine. If Mr. Yemeng Xiong stands with you, it means that half of the Ming Dynasty is stationed here." With you, Shen Yiguan is nothing more than a dead bone in a tomb."

Seeing that the two confidants said so, Xiao Ruxun smiled.

"In this way, the overall situation has been settled, and Shen Yiguan will definitely lose! The world is finally saved!"

Mei Guozhen kept nodding.

"When I see Shen Yiguan, I will definitely ask him what evil intentions he has!"

Yuan Huang didn't speak.

Glancing at the excited Xiao Ruxun, Yuan Huang hesitated for a moment.

In the end, I decided to say what I had kept in my heart for a while.

Looking at Xiao Ruxun who was excitedly discussing with Mei Guozhen about entering the army, Yuan Huang spoke.

"Ji Xin, there are some things that I think I need to tell you."

Xiao Ruxun and Mei Guozhen looked at Yuan Huang together.

"Mr. Yuan, please tell me."

Xiao Ruxun looked at Yuan Huang.

"Ji Xin, maybe this is the old man's overthinking, but I still want to remind you that it is a good thing that the rebellious army is getting stronger and the generals are fighting with high spirits, but the generals will become more and more arrogant. You have to pay attention too.

It's not without reason that we ruled the military with literature. You should take warnings about the old things in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and the warlords' separatism. It is a good thing that the army of rebels is now invincible, but it is becoming more and more unscrupulous. You're alone, and that's more than just a good thing.

When I was in Burma, the old man felt that the army's heart is on you alone, and the army only obeys you. This is certainly possible to command the rebellious army smoothly, but it is not without hidden dangers. You know, others don't say it, but General Zhao Hu Zhao , when you went to the Central Plains for a long time and did not return, but you said that if something happened to you, you would send troops to the north to rescue you. "

Mei Guozhen froze for a moment, then looked at Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun savored Yuan Huang's words.

"What does Yuan Gong mean?"

"The old man has no other intentions, but I just hope that Ji Xin will be more careful in using the army. Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be investigated. This is the ancients' motto. It’s a last resort right now, but what if the world is settled?”

Yuan Huang looked at Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun was silent for a while.

He understood what Yuan Huang meant.

But he decided to refute.

"It is precisely because of the use of literature to rule martial arts, or even to use literature to suppress martial arts, that Shen Yiguan was defeated by me. Yuan Gong, I raised troops to fight for rebellion, not only for the sake of rebellion itself, but also for the sake of what I saw in the process of rebellion. All the injustices that come to me will be resolved, otherwise, what's the point of my raising troops?
They follow me through life and death, and fight to the death for me and Daming, but am I going to plot against them behind my back?Because of the use of literature to rule the military, the Song Dynasty died in the Jin Dynasty, and then in the Mongol Yuan. Can't come out which one is better? "

What Xiao Ruxun said made not only Yuan Huang speechless, but also Mei Guozhen speechless.

Yuan Huang and Mei Guozhen looked at each other, and it was difficult to hide the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Everyone saw how the civil servants and generals governed the region, how weak the defense was, how many people bowed their knees, and how few loyal people they saw along the way.

That's why the army has less and less respect for civilian officials, more and more despise civilian officials, and despise those servile literati.

If it were them, they would also despise those who have no integrity.

"Today's scholar-bureaucrats have low integrity and high desires, unprecedented. How many of the scholar-bureaucrats I have seen are dedicated to the country and have no selfishness? Sergeants have not read the Four Books and Five Classics, but they all know loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and shame. But I found many People who have read poetry and books have no shame at all!
Furthermore, what the ancients said is that the way of survival in the land of death and life must be observed, "must be observed"!This is to make us pay attention, let us use a lot of energy to pay attention to it instead of restricting the army. Without the army, how can we guard the territory and resist foreign humiliation?

If Shen Yiguan and the others paid enough attention to the army, I would be killed by Chen Yongbin if I couldn't even get out of Burma!Where is today?The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fought bloody battles in the frontiers to defend their homes and the country. I hate those powerful gentry who stabbed knives in the back while enjoying the peace with peace of mind!
The soldiers are all warriors worthy of respect, and they are men who stand upright!Not a thief with the army!I don't care what others think of the army, at least under my Xiao, I will never allow anyone to insult my soldiers! "

After all, Xiao Ruxun left the meeting hall angrily, Mei Guozhen frowned and said nothing, while Yuan Huang saw Xiao Ruxun leaving angrily, first he was taken aback, and then his face was full of annoyance.

"Yuan Gong, Ji Xin was born as a general. He didn't fall behind in everything he suffered as a general. He was almost killed by Shen Yiguan. If you tell him like this directly, isn't it tantamount to blaming him?"

Mei Guozhen looked at Yuan Huang and shook his head: "Why not be more tactful? If it is more tactful, maybe Ji Xin will accept it?"

Yuan Huang sat on the chair and sighed.

"Blame me, blame me, I was too anxious. Seeing the army's arrogance is getting better day by day, I am very worried that the army will get out of control. Why did the former Song Dynasty restrict the generals and the army in such a way? Don't they know the consequences of doing that? ?

But everyone knows that a scholar can't rebel for ten years, but a general can rebel. Zhao Kuangyin himself is also a military general, so why did he do that?Isn't it also found that the expansion of the army will be dangerous if it is not suppressed? "

Mei Guozhen said softly: "I believe that Ji Xin can also see this kind of thing. He has read books and history books. It is impossible for him not to understand. It's just that you said it at the wrong time, Mr. Yuan. It hurt Ji Xin's heart."

Yuan Huang rubbed his temples.

"Sometime, I'll go and apologize to Ji Xin..."
