Chapter 1573: I can't bear to do it
The sergeant killed people on the street, and was seen by so many people, and Ye Shikai even swore to the sky just now that he would severely punish the sergeant, strictly enforce military discipline, and reassure the people, so ...... I am afraid that capital crimes are inevitable.
Frankly speaking, Ye Shikai really didn't want to do this, these brothers were born and died with him, and they survived all the way from Dongjun, two-thirds of the brothers died on the road, and the rest of the people, each of them was heavy.
What's more, Ye Shikai has never killed his subordinates with his own hands, although he is not the executioner, but he is the one who gave the order.
"What do you want me to do. Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.
"Now, you must give an order to correct this sergeant on the spot, and behead him in public, so that the people's hearts can be stabilized. Mi Wen said lightly, her tone was cold, without a trace of emotion, as if it was like killing an ant, of course, she is a lord, and those who become big things are not informal, if she feels sad for the death of a sergeant, then how can she conquer the world, you know, any emperor is stepping on countless white bones to ascend the throne.
Ci is not in charge of the army, as a qualified commander, Ye Shikai should not be too strange, but maybe he still attaches too much importance to his feelings, and if he wants to order the beheading of the sergeant without changing his face, he really can't do it.
"Is there any other way? Ye Shikai hesitated for a long time and said.
"What's the matter, didn't you swear in front of the people just now that you would not bend the law for personal gain, and now that you have brought people back, do you want to break your promise? Qi Wen frowned slightly and said coldly.
"No, I didn't break my promise, but I ...... Wouldn't it be better if there was a better solution? Ye Shikai shook his head, in the final analysis, he is still selfish, he thinks that he is not a "saint", let alone an immortal, he is just a person, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, if there is a way, of course he wants to save the life of this sergeant.
"For example, I can compensate the peddler's family for as much as I want, and in addition, I will reprimand the sergeant with a cane, which can be regarded as a punishment for him. Ye Shikai didn't want to settle it with money, but wanted to use some material conditions to replace "capital crime" with "felony", as long as he saved his life.
"What do you think? Mi Wen asked rhetorically.
"Of course I hope ......"
"You are now a general, and you should not think about the life or death of someone, but the future of this army. Before Ye Shikai could finish speaking, Mi Wen interrupted him.
"Future. ”
"That's right, it's the future. Mi Wen nodded and emphasized, seeing that Ye Shikai didn't speak for a long time, she continued, "You came to Changsha with the troops to expand the army and develop strength, of course I support it, so if you need money, I will give you money, and if you need food, I will give you food, but have you thought about it later." ”
"In the future, if I kill this sergeant like this, wouldn't it chill thousands of brothers, we are all brothers in the same robe, born and died, not at the hands of the Qin army, but at the hands of our own people. ”
"No, that's a big mistake. Mi Wen retorted, "If you don't behead the sergeant to show the public, then you will lose the support of more than 400,000 people in Linxiang City, in the future, not only you, but also your entire army, there is no place in the city, you swear in front of the people to severely punish the sergeant, once you break your promise, you will be ruined, then after that, how do you recruit troops in Linxiang City." ”
When Ye Shikai heard this, his mood suddenly became heavy, and what Mi Wen said made sense, if they lose the hearts of the people, how can they develop and grow, and an "unrighteous teacher" will be spurned.
"Is it really worth it to delay the future of the entire army for the sake of one person. ”
"See the general, see ...... Lord. At this time, Xue San walked into the camp tent quickly and said, changing his name to "Lord Gong" to Mi Wen, which seemed to be a little twisted.
"How's that sergeant? ”
"All the wounds on his body were beaten by the people, and I have asked the military doctor to treat him. ”
"What is the condition of the people in the city? Mi Wen asked.
"Back to the lord, most of the people in the city are scattered, Lord Sun is organizing, and the market has returned to normal order, but it ...... The people were clamoring to see what the general would do. ”
"Ahem, Xue San, pass on my military order, detain him first, and wait until his injuries are healed before deliberating. Ye Shikai ignored Mi Wen's cold gaze and said resolutely.
"Wow. ”
"Are you going to disobey me, don't forget, I'm your lord......"
"Don't forget, this is the barracks, I, as the commander, I am the biggest in the barracks, and no one can disobey my military orders. ”
"You ......"
.........................................................
Late at night.
Ye Shikai has not slept all night, has been thinking about how to deal with it, he fell into a dilemma, as a commander, of course he knows the importance of military discipline, but sparing his life is not the same as "bending the law for personal gain", from the current point of view, he should first actively compensate the family of the shopkeeper, strive for their forgiveness, and then the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is inescapable, and the cane will be punished by the sergeant, which can be regarded as a severe punishment.
Perhaps, the concept is different, or maybe his selfishness is at work.
Following.
"General, it's not good. Before dawn, Mancang hurriedly broke into Ye Shikai's camp and woke him up directly.
"What a situation. Ye Shikai immediately asked.
"Just now, Mi ...... The lord broke into the barracks with a team of men, took away the sergeant who made trouble yesterday, and then ...... Straight away. ”
"What, how could this be, didn't you stop her. Ye Shikai was shocked by these words, and his sleepiness was immediately dispelled.
"They came quickly, and now that she is the lord, our brothers are afraid of hurting her, so they dare not stop her. Mancang said helplessly.
"Where did she go? ”
According to the sentry report, after they took the people away, they went directly to Linxiang City. ”
"It's not good, call the guards and cavalry at once, you must catch up. Ye Shikai put on his armor and hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, Mi Wen was going to "cut first and then play", directly "skip" Ye Shikai, and behead the sergeant to show the public, he never thought that Mi Wen would do this.
"General, I'm afraid it's too late, they're all light horsemen, and they're ......"
"Stop talking nonsense, follow me. Ye Shikai got on the war horse, and without saying a word, he rushed out directly, and the guards followed closely.
Linxiang City.
"Stop, who's coming. "Before dawn, the soldiers on the city wall saw the cavalry coming to the city and shouted loudly.
"I'm Ye Shikai, I have important and urgent matters, let me into the city. ”
"It turned out to be General Ye, the lord has an order, and the city gate can only be opened after dawn, please calm the general. ”
