    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 354

    "Who has a problem with the decision to exchange prisoners for ransom?"

    After Chen Zi'ang heard the report from the director of intelligence investigation, Chu Yue, he also frowned involuntarily.

    "They are all ordinary soldiers. I have already obtained a list." Chu Yue said and presented a list to Chen Ziang.

    Chen Ziang looked at the long list, and there were some unfamiliar names. Obviously, no familiar officers were involved.

    While lamenting the rapid development of the Intelligence and Investigation Department, Chen Ziang also felt the seriousness of the situation.

    They exchanged 10,000 Imperial Guard prisoners of war for ransom, but he made a decision after discussing with the two deputy army chiefs.

    Now a large number of letters have been sent to the homes of these Praetorian soldiers through various channels.

    One after another, family members of Imperial Guard soldiers rushed to the provincial capital of Luyang, trying to redeem their families with ransom money.

    After all, these Imperial Guard soldiers were born either rich or noble, and they did not join the army for food.

    The soldiers of the Imperial Guard joined the Imperial Guard and went out with the army. The main purpose was to be gold-plated as a means of promotion in the future.

    However, they underestimated the tyrannical combat power of the Qinghe Army, and now instead of being gilded successfully, they have become prisoners of war.

    Keeping these Imperial Guard prisoners of war is a huge burden and hidden danger, and if they are released directly, they will not be reconciled.

    So Chen Ziang and the others made such a decision to ask their family members to exchange for a ransom.

    But what Chen Ziang and the others didn't expect was that the high-ranking officers all understood Chen Ziang's intentions, but the soldiers at the bottom didn't understand their painstaking efforts.

    As the commander of the Second Army, Chen Ziang now has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, so it can be said that he has a high position and weight.

    It is good to be high and powerful, but because he is high above, he also loses the opportunity to understand the inner thoughts of the soldiers at the bottom.

    This time, if Chu Yue, the director of the intelligence and investigation department, hadn't taken the initiative to report the situation to him, he would still be kept in the dark.

    Ordinary soldiers are the most basic part of this army. Only when they, officers and soldiers, keep pace with each other, can their army have combat effectiveness.

    However, it is obvious that the soldiers now have different views on the decision made by the High Command of their Second Army, and they are somewhat dissatisfied.

    Officers at all levels did not take this ordinary soldier's dissatisfaction seriously. Instead, Chu Yue's intelligence and investigation department reported the anomaly.

    "General, do you want to arrest these people who talked about military orders?"

    Chu Yue was loyal to Chen Ziang, and she was able to serve as the director of the investigation department because of Chen Ziang's support.

    So Chu Yue knew very well in her heart that as long as the big tree Chen Ziang didn't fall, she could hide under this big tree and enjoy a stable life.

    Therefore, since the first day of its establishment, the Intelligence and Investigation Department has been more than simply collecting intelligence.

    In the name of preventing enemy infiltration, Chu Yue planted a lot of hidden stakes in the troops at all levels to monitor the situation of the troops and ensure the stability of Chen Ziang's power and personal safety.

    Now some people are discussing the military order of the army headquarters in private, that is dissatisfaction with Chen Ziang, so Chu Yue attaches great importance to this matter.

    Her intention for giving this list to Chen Ziang was also very simple. As long as Chen Ziang nodded, those who made false comments on Chen Ziang would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

    "Leave the list with me, the brothers are just annoyed, and they won't be arrested."

    Facing Chu Yue's request to arrest these soldiers, Chen Zi'ang directly shook his head and refused.

    "But general, they are spreading rumors everywhere and inciting people's hearts. If they are not arrested, it will cause instability in the army."

    Chu Yue knew that Chen Ziang was always kind, so she had to speak again to emphasize the seriousness of the matter.

    "This is an internal problem in our army, and we cannot deal with it the way we deal with the enemy."

    Chen Ziang naturally knew that Chu Yue also had good intentions, so he had to patiently explain to her.

    "Brothers fought bloody battles and paid a heavy price. They finally won the battle and captured these people. Now we want to release the prisoners. It's normal for the brothers to wonder."

    Most of the soldiers of the Second Legion are illiterate old men, and their ideas are very simple.

      The exchange of prisoners of war for ransom is beneficial to the Qinghe army, but the soldiers may not be able to understand it for a while.

    Once encountering someone with a heart, the soldiers will be dissatisfied and annoyed, which will cause distrust of their officers.

    Although Chen Ziang decided not to deal with these annoyed soldiers, he also paid more attention to it, because it was a matter of thought.

    Once the thinking is not unified and the soldiers and officers are separated from each other, then the combat effectiveness of this unit will be greatly reduced, and I am afraid that it is not far from disintegration.

    Now there is only a small sign, but it is enough to arouse Chen Ziang's vigilance.

    "Order more than a hundred generals and officers of various departments to hold an enlarged military affairs meeting in the city in the afternoon."

    After Chen Zi'ang explained to Chu Yue and told her to go back, he immediately gave an order to prepare for an enlarged meeting on military affairs.

    It is a traditional habit of Chen Ziang and his Second Army to sum up frequently and reflect well, because only by constantly summing up experience and lessons can they continue to grow and improve.

    Fortunately, officers at all levels of the Second Army Corps are used to summing up every post-war, so before participating in the military affairs meeting, each unit also made some preparations in advance to avoid having nothing to say at the military affairs meeting.

    The military affairs expansion meeting was presided over by Yuan Jie, the deputy army commander. As before, the banner regiments and banner battalion commanders first reported and summarized, and then Chen Ziang was in charge of making comments, while the rest of the military officers at all levels could also put forward opinions and suggestions while listening.

    For individuals and teams that performed well in battle, Chen Ziang also publicly praised them, and then there will be material rewards and job rewards.

    At the end of the meeting, Chen Ziang brought out the matter that the soldiers were dissatisfied with the prisoners for ransom.

    "Brothers are talking about this matter, why didn't you report it to me? Didn't you explain it to the brothers?" Chen Zi'ang questioned these officers.

    "General, I am wronged, we didn't know about it at all."

    ? When Chen Zi'ang said at the enlarged military affairs meeting that the soldiers were dissatisfied with the prisoners for ransom, many officers were full of grievances.

    Because they didn't know about this matter at all, and they didn't know the dissatisfaction and discussions of the soldiers about it.

    "I can tell you with certainty that many brothers in the army now have opinions on this, and there are many discussions, but you don't know it yet. Do you know why?"

    "First, you have become officers now, and you think you are superior to others, and you no longer pay attention to the opinions of ordinary brothers. Even if you hear their comments, you don't care."

    "Second, you live in separate military tents now, you have a small stove for eating, and you have escorts when you travel. You have been separated from the brothers, so naturally you can't hear the voices of the brothers."

    After hearing what Chen Ziang said, the officers all lowered their heads in shame, because what Chen Ziang said was the truth.

    Chen Ziang knocked on the table, and solemnly reminded: "We are at odds with the majority of ordinary brothers. This situation is very dangerous." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
