Pirate Song

Chapter 47: Expulsion from the Army

The case of Gao Huaiyuanshan's murder of the officer soon spread out of Xiangyang and reached the supply camp in the Xiangyang camp. Moreover, since Gao Huaiyuan was taken away, he did not return to the supply camp that night, so an order was immediately

Everyone in the supply camp was so angry that they almost bombed the camp that night. Fortunately, Zhou Hao and others restrained them, so no trouble was caused.

However, Huang Yan had a hot temper and even clamored to take people to the city to find Zhao Fang to redress Gao Huaiyuan's grievances. Moreover, the young men in Crouching Tiger Village were all filled with indignation. They felt that it was really unfair for the officials to treat Gao Huaiyuan like this, so they responded accordingly.

Huang Yan asked to leave the camp and go to the city to cry out for Gao Huaiyuan.

But in the end they were stopped by an old soldier in the camp. This old soldier was responsible for delivering food to the supply camp every day. He became familiar with Gao Huaiyuan's supply camp as soon as he came and went. That morning, they heard that Huang Yan and others were going out.

Ying entered the city to complain about Gao Huaiyuan, so he quickly stopped them and said to Huang Yan and others: "Don't do this nonsense! Please listen to me!"

Huang Yan and others were about to leave the camp when they were stopped by the old soldier, so they wanted to hear what he had to say. After all, this old soldier used to be an official. Later, because of a crime, he was assigned to the army and became a side soldier.

They had been in the Xiangyang camp for many years, and Huang Yan and the others knew that this old soldier was a good man and understood the ways of officialdom, so they all stopped to listen to what advice the old soldier had for them.

"I know how you are feeling at this time. It is true that Commander Gao is a good person, but he is still a bit younger after all. Think about it, who among the officials now does not have many good friends! Although the county captain is as big as sesame seeds and mung beans,

You are a small official, but it is not easy for ordinary people to become a county lieutenant, so your high commander killed the county lieutenant Zhou in anger. It seemed that he was fine at first, but it caused trouble for himself!

I also heard about your battle in Qifang Town. With such military exploits, the high commander did not receive any reward, which shows that there is something wrong here!

But at the moment, it seems that your high-ranking commander should not be in danger of his life. After all, Mr. Zhao, the current Jingxi Road system commander, is not a bastard! He will figure out the reason!

But if you make such a fuss, it will be like harming your high-ranking commanders! Because the most taboo thing for an official is that the reputation of his subordinates is too high and difficult to control. If you make a fuss, you may make the high-ranking commanders who are taboo for officials

, but in the end, his reputation as arrogant was confirmed!

So now not only can you not go and complain for him, but you also have to stay in the camp peacefully and avoid causing trouble. I guess the reason why things have come to this point is that I think someone must have taken the above path during this period.

Let me give you some color for the high commander, but judging from the current situation, Mr. Zhao will not touch the high commander easily. After all, we are fighting with the Jin Army here. The high commander has many military exploits, but if he moves, it will damage the morale of the army.

Master Zhao naturally knows the pros and cons!

Therefore, I believe that nothing will happen to the high commander this time. At most, he will receive a scolding, and at worst, he will go home or be transferred to other places to work. You must not go to the city to cause trouble at this time. In that case, not only will you not be able to be saved, Gao

Commander, I am afraid that even you will have to bear the following charges, which may range from being slapped with a military stick to being unable to save your head!

I think it's better for you not to leave the camp and wait here for a while!" Lao Peijun is indeed a man who is well versed in officialdom. He immediately pointed out the mystery and warned Huang Yan and others not to cause trouble.

"Then why can't we just wait like this? Now we don't even have any news about the high-ranking commander. If the official wants to punish him, wouldn't it be troublesome?" After Huang Yan heard this, although he felt this

What Lao Peijun said made sense, but he still said that he felt that just waiting and waiting was not an option.

"Don't wait! Meng Qianha should know this matter better than anyone else. You send people to the front of the Zaoyang Army to report this matter to Meng Qianha. As long as Meng Qianha can write a letter in his own hand,

Write a letter to Mr. Zhao, I guarantee that your high-ranking commander will be absolutely fine! Mr. Zhao did not punish your high-ranking commander at first, presumably because he wanted to protect him. Even if someone puts pressure this time, Mr. Zhao will not let them get their wish easily.

Yes! I think we will send someone here soon to verify what happened when you were in Qifang Town! As long as you all agree and insist that the Zhou county captain escaped before the battle and confused the morale of the army, the high commander will be fine!" Lao Peijun stroked his goatee.

, shaking his head and giving advice to Huang Yan and others.

As soon as everyone heard what the old guy said was reasonable, they all returned to the camp honestly, restrained their men not to cause trouble, and temporarily settled down. However, Huang Yan was impatient and rode out of the camp in person, rushing all the way to the front of the Zaoyang Army to find him.

Meng Zongzong's political report.

Sure enough, news came out in the city that Gao Huaiyuan was temporarily detained in the city because he secretly killed an official in front of the army. He was waiting to be investigated before he could be punished. However, Liu Xian privately sent news to the transport camp, so that everyone did not have to worry too much. Zhao

Your Excellency will clarify this matter.

And immediately a group of people came from the Commander's Mansion in the city and interrogated a large number of rural soldiers who had participated in the First Battle of Qifang Town on the spot at the baggage camp for detailed questioning.

The result will naturally not be any disadvantage to Gao Huaiyuan. The danger in Qifang Town was clearly seen by everyone, and everyone understood it. Fortunately, Gao Huaiyuan led the army. If it had been replaced by an incompetent person, everyone might have died.

Under the Jin Bing's butcher's knife, everyone unanimously proved what Gao Huaiyuan said.

Although the civil servant surnamed Qian who led the team tried to obtain some unfavorable testimony against Gao Huaiyuan and proved that Gao Huaiyuan was arrogant in the army, he failed in the end because although Gao Huaiyuan was strict in running the army, he usually treated these

The local warriors were very good, and after getting to know him well, everyone knew that he was a good person, so no one wanted to add insult to injury at this time to harm Gao Huaiyuan. The civil servant named Qian finally had no choice but to leave the supply camp in anger.

Although everyone in the supply camp testified for Gao Huaiyuan, saying that Gao Huaiyuan was not wrong in killing Zhou County Lieutenant, Qian still collected some so-called evidence about Gao Huaiyuan from the rural barracks in several other counties and submitted it to

When it was in the hands of Zhao Fang, Zhao Fang insisted on punishing Gao Huaiyuan.

This matter is actually very simple to say. Zhao Fang had already determined that Gao Huaiyuan was not at fault at the beginning. The murder of Zhou County Lieutenant was entirely his own fault. However, he felt that because of this Lord Qian who came from Lin'an

Somewhat difficult.

Because although Master Qian is not of high rank, he is a subordinate of Shi Miyuan in the court, and he is a supervisory censor. He is in charge of the public opinion in the court for Shi Miyuan. He is a person who cannot be offended too much. Although Zhao Fang has a relatively upright temperament,

However, he also knew that Shi Miyuan was someone he could not afford to offend at the moment, so he hesitated again and again and did not make a decision on this matter.

A few days later, Zaoyang sent a handwritten letter to Meng Zongzheng and presented it to Zhao Fang. Zhao Fang then sent someone to take Gao Huaiyuan to his study.

Although Gao Huaiyuan was detained in the Commander's Mansion for many days, he did not suffer any crime because of Zhao Fang's protection. Liu Xian accepted his money and treated him well, and had delicious food and drinks delivered to his room.

, so my life has been pretty good these past few days.

Taking advantage of these few days of free time, Gao Huaiyuan sorted out what he had seen and heard in the army during the past year, as well as the various experiences he had accumulated. He felt that the trip was finally worthwhile and he had really learned a lot on the battlefield.

.

Hearing that Zhao Fang had summoned him, Gao Huaiyuan followed the guards to Zhao Fang to discuss what they had discussed. The next day, he finally came to a conclusion about Gao Huaiyuan's execution of the imperial official in front of the formation.

Although Gao Huaiyuan was indispensable for the first battle at Qifang Town, he was too arrogant and was good at killing court officials, so he had to be punished. Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan was removed from the post of commander of the heavy supply camp, and the merit for the first battle at Qifang Town was no longer given.

As a reward, he was punished with twenty army sticks at the same time, expelled from the army, and returned to his native place in Daye County. However, the strange thing is that Zhao Fang seemed to have ignored one thing, which was to deprive Gao Huaiyuan of his post as Yilang, although he was expelled back to Daye County.

Ye County, but he is still a ninth-grade official, but he has not attracted the attention of others.

At this point, the supervisory censor surnamed Qian has been silenced, and the family of Zhou Xianwei has nothing to say. After all, all kinds of evidence are unfavorable to Zhou Xianwei, so it is okay to give Gao Huaiyuan such rectification.

, Zhao Fang's doing this can be regarded as a huge favor for selling to Qian, so the matter has come to an end here.

The treatment Gao Huaiyuan received immediately aroused dissatisfaction throughout the supply camp. In the eyes of many people, the treatment Gao Huaiyuan received this time was really unfair, and many people almost stood in the Xiangyang camp and cursed.

Fortunately, with the suppression of Zhou Hao and others, this group of rural soldiers finally did not cause any big trouble, because Zhou Hao received the order from Gao Huaiyuan in advance, so that they could not cause trouble because of this, so as to avoid causing any more trouble.

Come on trouble.

When Gao Huaiyuan was lying on the car with blood on his back and was sent back to the supply camp, Zhou Hao and others learned that Gao Huaiyuan had been beaten with twenty military sticks. They almost went crazy and gritted their teeth and brought Gao Huaiyuan into the camp.

In the book, Zhang Luo writes about Gao Huaiyuan’s healing medicine.

"No need! There's nothing wrong with me!" When he saw the people who sent him back leaving, Gao Huaiyuan immediately jumped off the bed, stopped Zhou Hao who was about to apply medicine to him, and said to the teenagers around him

arrive.

"This Mr. Zhao is really a bastard. The young master worked hard for the Song Dynasty every day. As a result, not only did he not reward the young master, but he also scolded the young master. People also said that he was an upright official. I think he is simply a weak official..." Looking at Gao Huaiyuan

With his back covered in blood, Zhou Jun stood in the tent and was so angry that he couldn't help but curse.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately stretched out his hand to stop his brothers who were about to echo Zhou Jun's curse. He shook his head and said, "It's not Mr. Zhao's fault for this! Don't blame him anymore! It's just that I killed Zhou County Lieutenant this time and offended the people in the court.

My dear, Mr. Zhao also had to make concessions. There are many reasons for this. It is not convenient for me to tell you now. My injuries are fine. You go down and start packing. After handing over things, I estimate that after I leave, the supply camp will also

Disband on the spot, you should prepare in advance!"

Although Gao Huaiyuan said this, Zhou Hao was still worried about Gao Huaiyuan's injuries and insisted on checking his back which had been scolded by the cane. Gao Huaiyuan reluctantly opened his clothes, and everyone saw that Gao Huaiyuan's thick back was just

It was slightly red and swollen, but it looked like there was really no injury, so I felt relieved.

They are not fools. Although the number of twenty army sticks is not large, if they are beaten seriously, even if Gao Huaiyuan is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, he will not be able to carry twenty army sticks. He will definitely be beaten to pieces. If he is weaker,

People, if you take it seriously, your life may be lost.

But now it seems that nothing happened to Gao Huaiyuan, which means that the executioner must have deliberately released the water during the execution, so Gao Huaiyuan didn't have anything to do after being beaten, and everyone calmed down a little.

However, everyone still couldn't figure out the matter of removing Gao Huaiyuan as the commander of the supply camp, and refused to follow Gao Huaiyuan's instructions. After all, they had been together for a long time, so everyone emotionally accepted the sudden departure from the supply camp.

No.

Gao Huaiyuan had no choice but to sit down, ask someone to guard the door, and said to everyone: "In fact, I can't blame Mr. Zhao for this matter. It can be said that I have to be grateful to Mr. Zhao. If Mr. Zhao hadn't defended me, what happened this time

I'm afraid I won't be able to get through it so easily!

I didn’t expect that Zhou County Lieutenant’s family actually had a relative who was an official in the court, and seemed to be a subordinate of Shi Miyuan, the powerful prime minister of the court. Now they insist on punishing me. If it were anyone else, they would be as sesame and mung bean as me.

Mr. Zhao has nothing to do with his little commander. He just handed me over to Qian. In the end, it is estimated that I will definitely die. But now, Mr. Zhao is under pressure and just treats it like this lightly.

Take care of me!

Although the two armies are fighting happily in the Zaoyang area, we have little impact on the war situation. To put it harshly, we can only be regarded as a partial army now, a rabbit caught on New Year's Eve. We celebrate the New Year with us, but without us we can't

Still celebrating the New Year!

Moreover, I proposed the removal of my commanding officer myself. I just wanted to go back to avoid the limelight and save Mr. Zhao from further trouble. Besides, we have been here for nearly a year. Even according to common sense, we should rotate.

After a while, I want to go back to Daye County for a visit. After all, we still have many things to do in Wohu Village!

As for leaving here, I would like to ask your opinions. If any of you want to stay here, or are willing to go back to Crouching Tiger Village with me, you can say it now. I will not force you to do anything!

If you are willing to stay in the army, I will arrange you to serve under Meng Gong, and I will ensure that you will not suffer in the army. If you do not want to stay here, then go back to Wohu Village with me.

!”

As soon as Gao Huaiyuan finished speaking, Zhou Hao immediately took the lead and said without thinking: "I'll go back with you! This place is really frustrating, and good people don't get rewarded! I won't stay here!"

"Youngster, please go back with the young master!" Zhou Jun immediately followed Zhou Hao and said.

"The young one will also go back with the young master..." After listening to what Zhou Hao and Zhou Jun said, the young men from Crouching Tiger Villa standing in Gao Huaiyuan's military tent replied one after another with a very firm attitude.

This time Gao Huaiyuan's encounter has obviously chilled everyone's hearts. For a long time, they have been accustomed to obeying Gao Huaiyuan, and have subconsciously formed the idea of ​​​​loyalty only to Gao Huaiyuan. As for the idea of ​​​​serving the country, they have no idea at all.

What's more, most of them had fled from the north, so they had no feelings for the Song Dynasty. They had already regarded themselves as members of Crouching Tiger Village, and they would go wherever Gao Huaiyuan went.

Gao Huaiyuan actually knew that this was a useless question, but he still wanted to take the opportunity to test the loyalty of these people to him. Is there anyone who wanted to take the opportunity to leave Crouching Tiger Villa and stand on his own? Now it seems that he has been quite satisfied.

The answer is, originally, when he took in these teenagers, he wanted to form a team that was completely loyal to him. For a long time, he had been quietly instilling this idea in these people. When these people saw that he was going back to Crouching Tiger Village, they naturally

No one wants to stay here and follow others!

However, Gao Huaiyuan did not agree to let these people go back with him, because although he was unwilling to join the army and serve the Song Dynasty, it did not mean that he had to completely give up the relationship he had finally established with a famous general like Meng Gong.

Bringing all these people back to Daye County would be tantamount to giving up the opportunity to temper them. Therefore, in the past two days, Gao Huaiyuan had already made up his mind. Even if he left the army, he would leave some of his men behind and continue.

Worked under Meng Gong.

There is no other reason for doing this, but Gao Huaiyuan wants to leave some strength in the army. First, he can continue to let his people experience in the army, so that they can become more qualified officers and gradually master some strength in the army, which is convenient.

The second thing he will do in the future is to open a door of convenience so that the young men in Crouching Tiger Village will have a chance to practice before the army. Since he wants to make a career, he must have a broader vision, so he will

So arranged.

The whole matter was handled quickly. Three days later, Gao Huaiyuan completed the handover of various matters at hand. Because of Gao Huaiyuan's resignation, the general camp also announced its dissolution. More than 600 rural soldiers in the camp returned home.

In the original place, a small and well-known rural soldier camp disappeared from the Xiangyang camp.

When Gao Huaiyuan left Xiangyang with Zhou Hao and about a dozen other teenagers, Huang Yan led the remaining nearly twenty teenagers, crying like a mess, and stood outside Xiangyang City to bid farewell to Gao Huaiyuan.

This time, after Gao Huaiyuan's persuasion, Huang Yan was left here reluctantly by him. He was responsible for leading the dozen young men selected to go to Zaoyang Meng Gong to join Meng Gong, because Gao Huaiyuan knew that Meng Gong

He will rise through the ranks and become a famous general in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty in a long time to come. Gao Huaiyuan can rest assured that leaving Huang Yan and others to him, and as long as these young men work hard, they can definitely gain a foothold in the army.

Yes, this may become an important boost for his future development! dd
