Chapter 100: Trouble (3)

The king of the east often ordered the rod to blame his subordinates, often one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, and not long ago a thousand rods, so the executioner in charge of the rod was quite skillful. The rod must not be beaten to death, and after the three hundred rods are beaten, it must not be beaten to the point that the bones and tendons are broken. Even so, it can't be like a formality. After the beating of three hundred rods, Zhang Yingchen was already in pain and almost fainted.

The person in charge of the execution was also very tired, and two people immediately came up next to him to set up Zhang Yingchen. Zhang Yingchen's buttocks and thighs were numb from pain, and he basically couldn't feel that his legs were still there. Groggy and carried away, I don't know how long it took, Zhang Yingchen finally could barely feel a little bit of his calf being dragged to the ground without being beaten. He tried to hold his calves on the ground normally. But I felt that my legs were as weak as noodles.

"Brother here, stop for a moment and let me move on my own!" Zhang Yingchen struggled to squeeze out this sentence.

The executioner who was walking on his feet stopped, and Zhang Yingchen used all his control strength, and finally let his calves drag his feet to support the ground. As soon as he exerted his strength, he couldn't help but scream. The flesh on his thighs had long been gone, Zhang Yingchen only felt that the bones on his legs seemed to be inserted into a fire stick, and the severe pain made all his strength disappear cleanly. If it weren't for the executioner's neat hands and feet, Zhang Yingchen's whole person would be paralyzed to the ground.

A strong feeling of pain scurried in the bones, and soon, the high heat caused by the pain made Zhang Yingchen feel cold. Cold sweat and hot sweat soon wet Zhang Yingchen's clothes, who were constantly shivering. had no idea what others had said to him or what they had done to him, Zhang Yingchen was overwhelmed by the feeling of pain.

After receiving the cane, Zhang Yingchen was sent back to his residence in the barracks. The officer in charge of duty immediately called the military doctor, and the military doctor was also stunned when he saw the injury. Three hundred canes came down, causing a large area of soft tissue injuries, Zhang Yingchen's buttocks and two legs turned purple and black, although there was no way to test whether the bones were injured, but I was afraid that it would not be much better.

Wei Ze's troops also beat military sticks, but that was for punishment, not for real torture. Ten sticks and twenty sticks, the sound of beating sounded, but after the beating, he walked a few steps, and soon he was fine. It's just that the spanked ass is a little numb. Moreover, beating the military stick is also a last resort, and it is still not allowed to beat when you can.

Until now, everyone had never seen anyone beaten like this. And the officials of the Dongwang Mansion who were in charge of sending Zhang Yingchen back immediately summoned the officers of Zhang Yingchen's troops. The officers were all in the camp, and they were dragged out of their beds, and soon gathered sleepily.

The official first asked the guards who followed Zhang Yingchen to tell him what happened today, and the guards said hesitantly that Zhang Yingchen said bad things about Yang Xiuqing, the king of Qi, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of Qi, at Wei Ze, the king of Qi. Therefore, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, beat Zhang Yingchen with 300 rods.

Everyone was very puzzled by this, Zhang Yingchen had eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard, and dared to say bad things about Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, and Wei Ze, the king of Qi, at the same time. But since the king of the east sent someone to publicly accuse Zhang Yingchen of his guilt, it would not be groundless.

In the end, the officials of the Dongwang Mansion told everyone that Dongwang Nian was a first-time offender in Zhang Yingchen, so he spared his life. After beating 300 rods, Zhang Yingchen will not be able to serve for the time being, and the king of the east will send a new commander to temporarily take over the command. After speaking, the officials of the Dongwang Mansion took out the roster and ordered all the commanders of the troops to assemble and prepare to accept the arrangement of the new commander.

At this time, the Dongwang troops waiting outside Zhang Yingchen's camp immediately drove into the barracks. Although they did not have the attitude of facing the enemy, they seemed to have done a lot to prepare for the resistance at any time.

Wei Ze's troops are in the General Staff system, and Zhang Yingchen's troops still maintain Wei Ze's system even though they were transferred to the command of Dongwang. Although the staff personnel do not directly command the troops, they are the backbone of the troops. The officers were put in charge, and the chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff were also called to be put in charge. However, Weese's staff was a meeting system, very rudimentary to a military council. According to the regulations, if something happens to the chief of staff or deputy chief of staff, the chief of the military operations section will naturally take over the post of chief of staff.

However, Dongwangfu obviously did not understand the organizational form in this regard, so the Operations Section, the Combat Training Section, the Personnel Section, the Logistics Section, and the Military History Section, which also served as a log record summary, did not have to participate in the assembly.

Before being taken away, the chief of staff of the army had already given an order to let these section chiefs temporarily take over the operation of the staff headquarters and get things straight.

The school field of the barracks was brightly lit, and all the officers of Zhang Yingchen's unit were taken away. The big tent, the logistics warehouse, and the weapons depot were also blocked by the soldiers and horses of the East King. But these are not difficult at all for the chiefs of staff of various departments, the entire barracks are arranged by them, and Dongwang's troops seem to be guarding the key points. There are many ways to get around these "key points".

The staff officers immediately convened a secret emergency meeting, and the first thing they did was to find out what had happened. It is not realistic to go to the East Palace, or to go to the Qi Palace, to verify. Not to mention that without orders from above, the officers and men would not have to leave the battalion. Even if he sneaked out of the barracks, the people guarding Tianjing City were Yang Xiuqing's cronies and relatives. These relatives and cronies of Yang Xiuqing have not been proven to be able to fight, but they are indeed extremely responsible as the commanders of the various gates. These people work as hard as the caretaker, and without the order of the Dongwang Mansion, no one is allowed to walk casually in Tianjing City. Even with the order of the Eastern Palace, as long as these people feel that the transfer is suspicious, they will also block people. You have to get Yang Xiuqing's order to let the suspicious guy pass.

Unable to see the parties Yang Xiuqing and Wei Ze, the king of Qi, Zhang Yingchen had a high fever again at this time, and he was unconscious. There is no way to verify it when you look for him. The only choice is the guards. The General Staff immediately sent someone to secretly get the guards. Under the pressure of these people, the guards finally told everyone what Zhang Yingchen said on both sides.

There are also some commanders who are particularly straightforward, or who lack the heart but can fight. None of the chiefs of the various sections of the General Staff Department is a fool, and everyone was a little afraid to say it at first, but you asked me word by word, even if some of them said it involuntarily, everyone gradually understood what was going on.

Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, asked Zhang Yingchen to see if Wei Ze was resentful, which was completely understandable. If Wei Ze is driven away from Anhui, no one will be happy. Yang Xiuqing asked Zhang Yingchen to ask, this is not something that cannot be understood. But Zhang Yingchen really took finding Wei Ze's grievances as a task that must be completed.

But Wei Ze didn't have any resentment at all, at least there was no resentment in what he said to Zhang Yingchen. Zhang Yingchen thought that Wei Ze didn't want to mention building yì because he was unhappy with Zhang Yingchen. So he said bad things about Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, in front of Wei Ze, trying to make Wei Ze resonate with Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east.

Seeing that Wei Ze did not show such thoughts at all, Zhang Yingchen felt that he could not return empty-handed, so he took advantage of the Anhui strategy formulated by Wei Ze, and wanted to take credit in front of Yang Xiuqing.

Of course, for the sake of face, no one dared to say that Yang Xiuqing completely saw through Zhang Yingchen's thoughts and cleaned up Zhang Yingchen with his backhand. Such a clean and neat way of handling made Zhang Yingchen's subordinates feel a lot of pressure. Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, had an insight into Zhang Yingchen's careful thinking, and dealt with it decisively. Regardless of whether they fully understood this point or not, the group of staff officers who participated in the discussion were shocked by their strength or weakness.

After the matter is roughly figured out, the staff members who participated in the meeting of the Provisional Staff, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to say. Judging from the information that everyone has grasped, although the disposal of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, is ruthless, it cannot be regarded as completely wrong. And in any case, everyone was trained and promoted by Wei Ze, and the General Staff system itself provided a vast space for these staff officers to improve. For this reason, everyone has a sense of identity with Wei Ze from the heart.

Zhang Yingchen was ordered by Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, to test whether Wei Ze had any complaints, which in itself made the staff officers very unhappy. And Zhang Yingchen's attempt to curry favor with both ends made everyone even more unhappy with him.

Bringing Zhang Yingchen's guards out first, the chief of the operations section finally muttered: "Dongwang is too ruthless to do this?" ”

None of the others spoke. Judging from what I have learned, Yang Xiuqing's handling is indeed ruthless, and it also has the meaning of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, but everyone can't say that it is completely unreasonable for Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, to do this.

The chief of the logistics section was silent for a while before speaking, "What will we do in the future?" I don't know what the East King will do to us. ”

This question caused real concern to everyone, and after arriving in Tianjing City, everyone learned more about the system with other units of the Taiping Army. Other units do not have a staff system, and even if there is a staff member, the staff is not equal to a staff officer. The General Staff Headquarters is the real core of the troops, and since the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters in Weeser to the present, officers have been trained and selected by the General Staff Headquarters, and the General Staff Headquarters and the General Staff Departments of various armed forces have been in charge of the appointment of officers. The system of the General Staff is almost entirely in charge. In other units of the Taiping Army, the staff members were subordinate to the advisers to the commanders of the various units, and the generals of the Taiping Army were in charge.

Now that Dongwang has taken over Zhang Yingchen's troops, what will be his attitude towards the General Staff? These once-powerful staff members were completely unemboldened.

"Then let's tell the chief of staff of the SΓΉ Army first." The Chief of the Combat Training Section replied. After saying that, he let out a long sigh, "If only we were still under the chief of the general staff!" ”

Wei Ze only learned that Zhang Yingchen had this kind of thing when he was about to come out on the third day. It was not Zhang Yingchen's subordinates who sued Wei Ze about this, but Wei Ze's father-in-law, Qi Yuchang. Qi Yuchang didn't know the whole picture of the matter, and in his statement, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, scolded Zhang Yingchen for some reason, and seized Zhang Yingchen's military power. Therefore, Qi Yuchang was more worried about whether this was a harbinger that the East King was going to make a move against Wei Ze.

After reading the news provided by Qi Yuchang, Wei Ze could only smile bitterly. It seems that the matter has become more and more intense, and since the East King has already acted like this, Wei Ze is not worried. If you want to clean Wei Ze, Yang Xiuqing has another way. Since Yang Xiuqing did this, then his target is definitely not Wei Ze, but other heavyweights.

Wei Ze could already roughly guess who the person Yang Xiuqing was going to deal with was.
