Chapter Ninety-Six: Loyal to the Ming Dynasty
No one expected that the first to act was the Imperial Foresters, whose barracks were suddenly sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
The howling wind swirled over the barracks, and also passed through the neat queue, smoothing out the protruding people in the ranks.
Jiang Wuzhen stood on the high platform at the front, stood as a flag, and stared at the generals in the audience.
"Jiang Ling, out of the ranks!"
Xiao Cavalry Leader Jiang Ling took a step forward, his eyes slanted slightly, looking at the sky, obviously not caring much about the other party's orders.
"Remove Jiang Lingxiao from the position of cavalry!"
As soon as Jiang Ling heard the reading on the high platform, he frowned coldly, and immediately withdrew his gaze from the sky to stare at Jiang Wuxuan on the stage, and sneered: "What right do you have to dismiss me? Just because you are the commander of the Imperial Forest Army?"
"Jiang Ling, you are no longer a cavalry leader, recognize your position. The general next to him raised his voice and said.
"I am a cavalry leader given by the imperial court, without the order of the military department, who has the right to dismiss me without authorization?"
"The Great Ming Law contains a clear text: the situation is urgent, and the commander of the Royal Forest Army has the right to decide everything about the Royal Forest Army!"
"The situation is urgent, when is the situation urgent?"
"There was a large-scale riot in Tiandu, and the Imperial Dragon Temple positioned the incident level as Class B, and it has not been lifted so far. The general on the high platform said loudly, intending to make everyone hear.
Jiang Ling's gaze pressed downward, and he sneered: "What a commander Jiang! Everyone says that you are upright, but they didn't expect that you will be a villain who takes advantage of the opportunity to fight against differences! At this critical moment, instead of being able to unite with the outside world, he will open fire on the insiders! What am I guilty of?"
Jiang Wuxuan looked at Jiang Ling coldly, he didn't care to argue with this kind of person.
"I don't believe that you Jiang Wuzhen can cover the sky with one hand! I don't believe that there is no justice in the heavenly capital!" Jiang Ling snorted coldly, untied the military uniform on his body, threw it on the ground, turned around and strode towards the outside of the barracks.
"Pick it up. There was suppressed anger in the voice of the general next to him.
Jiang Ling didn't seem to hear the scolding behind him at all, and walked forward, looking like "how can my generation be a Penghao person".
The general next to Jiang Wuxuan reached out and snatched the spear from the guard's hand, straightened his body, and threw the spear out in a posture that didn't require much force.
Zheng!
The spear passed through the crowd, directly breaking through a hole visible to the naked eye, and instantly caught up with Jiang Ling, who was leaving.
Jiang Ling just took a step, his body sank, his five fingers formed a fist, his waist exerted force, he lunged back to his senses, and punched out.
Bang!
The spear suddenly split into a lantern from the middle, and then burst into sawdust.
Jiang Ling couldn't stop taking ten steps back, each step made a three-inch-deep footprint, and finally fell to the ground on his back, a mouthful of blood spurting out.
"Jiang Wuxuan, you dare to kill me?!"
"Hmph! It is disrespectful to ignore the commander in the barracks, and it is disrespectful to trample on the official uniform. Disrespect or disrespect, according to the rules of the army, can be abolished. The general who had just thrown his spear shouted.
"You're clearly looking for a reason to eradicate dissidents and turn the Imperial Forest Army into your own world!" Jiang Ling roared angrily, but his face suddenly turned flushed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The confrontation just now obviously had a strong stamina, and it exploded with Jiang Ling's momentum, directly shattering all of his meridians.
Someone in the queue suddenly rushed over, clicked a few acupuncture points on Jiang Ling's body, helped him up and fed him a pill.
"It's actually 'Hidden Thunder'! You will actually use such a means to directly abolish Jiang Shenling!" "The person who helped Jiang Ling said very angrily.
"Yun Lu envoy Du Mingli, you are also dismissed. The man on the high platform continued to say loudly.
Du Mingli, who helped Jiang Ling, obviously didn't expect that he was in the same situation, he glanced at the miserable Jiang Ling, and said righteously: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." But you Jiang Wuzhen is not the king of the Ming Dynasty, and your behavior in this way violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be convincing! In vain, you Jiang Wuzhen prides himself on being high, but it turns out that he is just such a villain! This Yun Lu doesn't do it! I want to see how arrogant you Jiang Wuzhen can be!"
Du Mingli took off his military attache uniform, took off his official seal, helped Jiang Ling up, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the Royal Forest Barracks.
"The city gate leader Gu Changfeng was also dismissed. ”
"Chen Hao, the infantry military academy, is also dismissed. ”
"Zhou Qingdun, the captain of the whole ceremony, was also dismissed. ”
“......”
When Jiang Ling and Du Mingli were expelled from the Imperial Forest Army at the same time, most people had already realized that something was wrong, and this was definitely not a simple punishment. Everyone had a string in their hearts, worried about being called by their names.
In just a moment, more than 30 people were called out of the queue of 100 people, and with Jiang Ling's previous experience, no one dared to resist blatantly, so they could only leave silently.
Jiang Wuxuan looked at the rest of the people coldly, there was still a large part of them that he wanted to eliminate, but he couldn't eliminate one more, otherwise his plan might fall short.
Trying to build an army with no other heart is not something that happens overnight. Even if Jiang Wuzhen has been planning for so long, he doesn't dare to directly eliminate all "dissidents".
The Imperial Forest Army is responsible for guarding the Tiandu, and its individual combat effectiveness may not be as good as that of the East Jin Guard, but its overall strength is far stronger than that of the East Jin Guard. Whoever masters the Imperial Forest Army will undoubtedly master the military power of Tiandu. No one doesn't covet this kind of power, so there are too many people involved in it.
Most of the people eliminated through the "Old Book Shop Incident" are the pawns of certain people that Jiang Wuzhen has already identified, and even if they do not deviate from morality today, they will definitely become disasters in the future, and a few are corpse vegetarian meals, which he has long been unaccustomed to.
With so many people eliminated at once, Jiang Wuzhen was easily charged with a major crime of attempting rebellion, which was not something he could afford. However, he had to do this, otherwise the next time someone came to attack, the Imperial Forest Army would still be like a plate of scattered sand.
The wind swept through the mutilated queue, whistling in everyone's ears.
Jiang Wuzhen's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and then read out the names one by one.
"Chen Zixu. ”
"Huang Mou'an. ”
"Ma Zhitu. ”
"Sun Shang. ”
“......”
These were unfamiliar names to most people, even to Jiang Wuzhen, who didn't even know any of them.
These people were the first to encounter the dark fire in the second-hand bookstore, and they were also the first to die in battle, and most of them didn't even have corpses left.
"These people, they should not have died, but they died. Jiang Wuxuan's voice was very deep, like a heavy knife. He didn't want to explain why Jiang Ling and the others were eliminated, but he wanted to ask questions about the people who were still there.
Everyone obviously didn't understand what Jiang Wuchan wanted to say, but they were all listening, and they didn't dare to make any changes.
"Next time, who will be the one who dies?" there was anger in Jiang Wuxuan's voice.
It was just a small sneak attack by the dark fire, and the slow reaction and poor handling of the Imperial Forest Army were something that Jiang Wuzhen never expected, and he was really angry.
"You are the Imperial Forest Army, you are the Imperial Forest Army of Tiandu, and you are the Royal Forest Army of the Ming Dynasty. Do you really understand?" Jiang Wuzhen roared angrily, almost shaking the earth.
Almost all of them felt chills, it was the first time they had seen Jiang Wuzhen so angry. Only then did they remember that the other party was a strong man standing at the peak of the Five Realms, and a strong man who dared to confront the entire military department.
"The Imperial Guards are not loyal to anyone, only to the Ming Dynasty! If you don't want to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, I will kill him. Jiang Wuzhen's last words were very quiet, and they were even drowned out by the wind, but everyone felt a heavy and sharp knife pressing against their necks, including those who followed Jiang Wuzhen.
Jiang Wuzhen glanced at everyone and didn't want to say more. He still has a long way to go to truly turn the Guards into a monolith, and forging the Guards into the army he imagines is even further. And the pressure he has to face now is beyond everyone's imagination, and he can predict that he will now be like a snowflake in his recital. However, this is definitely just the beginning.
However, what Jiang Wuzhen has decided will definitely continue to do!
......
In the Royal Dragon Temple, which corresponds to the Royal Forest Army, it is dead and silent. Everyone seemed to be busy as usual, but everyone felt like they were walking on a tightrope and would fall off and break their bones. They didn't dare to transgress the rules in the slightest, and they didn't dare to take a long breath until they left the Dragon Temple, as if they had escaped from hell.
No one dared to enter the dean's house, not even to pass in front of it. Since the incident at the old bookstore, Xia Guan has been in this room for two days and two nights, and no one knows what happened inside.
Xia Guan sat on the chair as if he had passed away, and sat motionless for two days. In the past two days, he has thought about a lot of things, figured out a lot of things, and couldn't figure out a lot of things.
Looking up at the inscription of Emperor Wu on the wall, Xia Guan suddenly felt embarrassed.
If Emperor Wu knew that the star map he created had been ruined like this, everyone in the Imperial Dragon Academy would not be able to apologize for their deaths.
Xia Guan was embarrassed and angry, and slammed a punch into himself, and the strong pain made him feel a little better.
"It's just such a little wave, which almost capsized the giant ship of Tiandu. If there really is a stormy sea one day, what will happen to Tiandu?"
Xia Guan really didn't dare to think about what would happen in the future, he originally thought that the current Ming Dynasty was too much indulged in the prosperous world, even if he squandered it, he would be able to become strong for another hundred years, and a Ming monarch would be produced in a hundred years, and he could continue the strength of the Ming Dynasty with a little governance. But the events of the second-hand bookstore completely shattered his illusions.
"Now, who else can protect Da Ming?" Xia Guan closed his eyes, plunged himself into darkness for a long time, and then opened his eyes. "I'm an old bone, I have to fight!
