Chapter 424 Are you not afraid of mutiny? (2)
"General Dou has given you the award, but Mei Shijiu would like to ask General Dou, what he has done in the army during these years is worthy of the trust of the court and the emperor? Can he be worthy of the followers of the soldiers, and can he be worthy of the support of the faithful?"
After Mei Shijiu finished speaking, without waiting for Dou Bing to react first, he raised his hand and took the list of disciplinary violations from A Qing.
"In the twelfth year of Xuanyou in the Great Yuan Dynasty, General Dou was transferred from Tongguan to the northwest and became the chief general of the northwest army guarding Yuancheng. During his tenure..."
Mei Shijiu unfolded the criminal evidence that he had compiled and written by himself, and read it one by one, from embezzlement of military pay, to exchanging military rations, bribing officials in the court and central government, forming cliques for personal gain, and nepotism. His relatives in his hometown used his power to oppress the people in the countryside, occupy fertile farmland, and rob
It can be said that because of him, the Dou family is like a chicken or a dog in the local area, and everyone present is a little uneasy.
Dou Bingxian's face turned red. He knew the purpose of Mei Shijiu's visit and also knew that he had some evidence in his hand. He had also seen it and made countermeasures. He thought that Mei Shijiu was aware of current affairs.
Thinking that...he is so brave, he really dares to take action during the war, and he digs so deep, and there is no room for turning around when the evidence of his crime is read out in public.
Thinking of this, Dou Bingxian grasped the handle of the knife with a little force. Since he had to be forced to a dead end, then don't blame him for being rude. Heroes emerge from troubled times, and whoever becomes an official does not do it for the glory of the family, nor for the wealth of the family...
"Mei Shijiu, is there any evidence for what you said?"
After a period of silence, Prince Ying finally spoke. This guy Mei Shijiu... was so ruthless. He was dragged into it. These crimes were listed out and announced in public. If he, the coach, ignored them or mishandled them, the coach would be the same.
Don't be fooled, your military might will be gone.
When Prince Ying spoke, his eyes were fixed on Mei Shijiu, hinting that he should take it easy. If he went too far, he would probably mutiny. Although he had made some preparations before, he, the coach, was not sure that there would be no problems.
Now the enemy is watching with eager eyes, so we must be cautious.
The answer given by Mei Shijiu was even more straightforward, "Which crime the prince wants to see, the evidence of the crime can be seen by the prince himself." After speaking, A Qing waved his hand and immediately ordered someone to carry the evidence in a box. Not only that, but actually
There are also witnesses.
Is there any need to look at this? I’m afraid I’ve started working on it before even setting off from the capital.
If everything is true, then Dou Bingxian's life is not enough to hold him accountable.
The Prince of England was filled with anger. After taking a few deep breaths, he looked at Dou Bingxian and said, "General Dou, do you want to see these evidences for yourself? Or tell them in front of so many soldiers? I hope that none of this is true.
Yes, you are an old man in the northwest army. If you are really so unbearable, can we still defend the northwest? You are the main general guarding the important land in the northwest! Behind you are tens of thousands of civilians, protecting our homeland.
General Dou still remembers the word "country"?
The faces of the old generals involved nearby turned pale. General Dou had checked. Can they escape?
They all looked at General Dou. Although they were all grasshoppers on the same rope, many of the incriminating evidences listed by Mei Shijiu were unexpected by them, which was somewhat shocking...
But they have no way out. They are afraid that they can only follow the path to the end with their eyes closed, and there is no point in regretting it.
"Hahahahahaha, Military Advisor Mei is really talented. He is in the northwest, but he can hear all directions and see thousands of miles away. He even knows the affairs of my hometown? It's really chilling. The soldiers are fighting outside, but the court doesn't trust us outside.
Throwing your head and spilling your blood... Hahaha, I am old, I want me to take off my armor and return to the field. I mean, how dare I disobey? Why do you want to slander my reputation in this life? Soldiers, since the court is going to ask questions today
As for me, I couldn’t help but hold my breath in my heart. Over the years, have the military pay, grain and grass given to us by the Ministry of War been delivered in full? Food mixed with sand and gravel, military pay deducted in various forms, and so on.
I don’t need many of these weapons. Do all the brothers in the army know about them? What is this?”
As Dou Bing first spoke, he walked up to a soldier and snatched the knife from his hand. He casually slashed it on the ground and broke it on the spot.
"Let the soldiers fight bloody battles with such weapons to resist foreign enemies, isn't that just risking their lives? Military Advisor Mei, why don't the DPRK and the Central Government talk about this? Yes, I
The general has used the military pay, but why should I use the military pay and food? It’s not so that the soldiers can have enough to eat, it’s not to stabilize the morale of the army, and it’s not for the sake of the overall situation. I’m just a rough guy, and I don’t know those crooked people.
I'm going round and round, I only know how to use the methods I can think of, even if I'm in danger, I don't want to wrong my brothers, okay, today Military Advisor Mei wants to ask questions, I just plead guilty, but I don't accept it in my heart!"
At the last moment of dissatisfaction, Dou Bingxian roared with great energy, as if he had been greatly wronged.
The cronies beside him all had indignant looks on their faces, their hands falling on their swords, and they all looked at Mei Shijiu with hatred.
This atmosphere made the Prince of England a little nervous and his mouth was dry.
Over the years, Dou Bingxian has accumulated too much power in the Northwest Army. He is greedy, but he is also willing to spend money to win people's hearts. He does a good job on the surface. Just like what he said just now, many soldiers present began to gnash their teeth.
It's nine o'clock in Xiangmei time.
Mei Shijiu had also expected that Dou Bingxian would not easily admit guilt and compromise, let alone be easy to deal with.
"The problems that General Dou mentioned do exist. In recent years, there have indeed been many problems in the Ministry of War. The Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince have already started a thorough investigation. They have dismissed some officials, fined some officials, and some others have been waiting for punishment. Presumably
The soldiers also heard some rumors. Mei Shijiu came this time because the Ministry of War found a problem after a thorough investigation. Soldiers, this piece of carrion, if it is not dug out completely, the scar will never heal. General Dou feels sorry for the soldiers, knowing that
There is a problem with military pay, food and weapons. Have you ever written to the court? General Dou personally filled some holes and treated the soldiers well. Where did the money come from? The Dou family is so rich that it can rival the country? According to the official, before General Dou joined the army, the Dou family was just a small family.
..."
As Mei Shijiu spoke, he walked to the evidence of crime and bent down, picked up a book and opened it with all his strength. His tone suddenly changed, and he questioned sternly: "General Dou, among the generals who follow you, there may be some who are wronged and do not know the truth.
I was confused and bewitched by you, but you, Dou Bingxian, was not unjust even if he was cut into pieces. In fact, you already knew what the supplies shipped to the northwest were, because you had long colluded with people from the Central Military Department to bully
He kept it secret, and then used the greedy money to win over people's hearts and help him gain prestige in the army. He called it euphemistically that the court was complicated, and it was better to do less than to do more, so as not to harm his wife, children, parents, and relatives at home... These words should make sense to many generals present.
Have you heard what he said?"
