"What's the matter with your face, who hit it?" Zhang Qian jumped off the mount, took three steps and made two steps to Zhang San, and asked with a blue face.

This Zhang San he knew, was one of the slave craftsmen who accepted mobilization to take the lead in joining the army after he led the Anxi Army to recover Gumo last year. Because of his flexible speech and strong body, he was promoted to the captain of the gang in Frozen City, leading another group of recruits to join the army in Frozen City. Subsequently, because he could speak fluent Tuqi Shi, he was selected to join the death squad and infiltrated the Ye branch with him.

It stands to reason that for such a malleable material, the head of the sect Ren Bing should appreciate it. And picking up the whip and pumping it in the face, and even preparing to draw a knife to cut someone, is obviously hateful. Therefore, as the commander of the Broken Leaf Army, Zhang Qian must figure out what happened between the two sides, not because Ren Bing didn't have time to pull out the knife just now, so he easily exposed the matter.

"He talks back!" Ren Bing's heart was empty, and without waiting for Zhang San to respond, he preemptively explained. "I wanted to teach him a lesson and give him a few kicks on the shoulder, but someone else suddenly pushed him."

"I didn't ask you!" Zhang Qian glared at him fiercely and emphasized loudly. Immediately, he turned his gaze to Zhang San again, and asked in a voice as slow as possible, "What's the matter with your face?" But he hit? Why did he hit you? ”

"If you go back to the town guard, you will be beaten by the head of the sect, but I really shouldn't have said anything just now." Gang leader Zhang San hesitated for a moment and lowered his head in response.

When he used to be a slave to the Turgish, beatings were commonplace. According to his observation, most of the people who are serving as instructors in the new training camp are surnamed Ren and Guo, and most of them are from Zhang Zhenshou's pro-corps. Therefore, in his mind, even if Zhang Zhenshou was sympathetic to his brother and presided over justice for him today, at most, he would scold Ren Bing. And if Ren Bing holds a grudge and colludes with other relatives to harm him, his own life will not be guaranteed, and he will drag down his brothers.

Rather than that, it is better for him to suffer some grievances and take the initiative to turn big things into small things and small things. Anyway, the whip marks on his face will disappear soon, and after he graduated from the new training camp, he tried his best to take the initiative to ask for instructions to be sent to Xingumo or Yezhi, hiding from Ren Bingyuan, and trying not to have any dealings with this person as much as possible.

This is a very "smart" choice, and after the voice was lagging behind, Ren Bing's face immediately showed a little relaxation. However, Zhang Qian seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zhang San's answer, and turned his gaze to the other recruits quickly, frowning and asking, "What about you, can any of you tell me what happened just now?" Why was Guy Zhang beaten? Is Ren Bing's punishment of him justified? ”

"We, we ......" Lu Guangzhi, horsefoot nails, iron pillars, poplar branches, talhu, plantain, Bao Ge and other recruits, their mouths smwitched, and they couldn't answer a word for a long time.

In the past, when I was a slave, everyone said that being whipped was a knife, and they could only resign themselves to fate. Life is a hundred times better now than when I was a slave, and occasionally being whipped by the head of the church is really not a big deal. The reason why everyone worked together to snatch the horsewhip just now was because of the enthusiasm for a while. And this blood came and went quickly, and when their minds regained their coolness, none of them wanted to make a feud with Zhang Zhenshou's cronies over this matter.

"Lu Dechuan, what about you, do you know what's going on?" Zhang Qian immediately understood that it was impossible to ask the answer if he continued to ask like this. Don't be disappointed, be decisive.

This is the second recruit who has accompanied him to infiltrate Yezhi City, because he shouted in time that night, persuaded all the overwhelmed Tushi warriors in the city, and was also credited with a great achievement. He sent this person to the new training camp in the hope that after this person mastered the basic combat skills, he would be able to use them greatly. Instead of becoming a wreck who doesn't even dare to tell the truth, he knows that he will be slapped with Sima Fart.

"If you go back to the town guard, you will know below." Lu Dechuan, who was ordered, finally did not disappoint Zhang Qian. While saluting him with his crossed hands, he responded loudly with his neck stalked, "The cause of the incident is on his subordinates." The new camp trains two and a half laps of running every day. We have already completed two and a half laps this morning, and we are ready to continue to practice for half a lap. Wang Debao's physical strength was not good, and Gang Zhang was unwilling to give up his brother, so he acquiesced to me dragging him away. Ren Bingjiao thought that we were lazy, and caught up with us and scolded us. Guy Zhang explained to him, but he refused to listen, and he whipped Guy Zhang! ”

"You are talking nonsense, it was he who contradicted me first!" I didn't expect a recruit to be so awkward, and he pushed himself to an extremely disadvantageous position in three or two sentences, and the head of the sect, Ren Bing, was in a hurry, and retorted loudly with a red face.

"They can all testify that the captain also showed you the bamboo sticks of the calculation circle at that time. The Zhou travel rate is not far away, and it should have been seen. "I firmly believe that Zhang San's whip was for himself, Lu Dechuan gritted his teeth and added.

It's a big deal that I won't be a soldier in the future, I can write and calculate, and there are so many new workshops in Broken Leaf City, someone has to help keep accounts. If you go to be a bookkeeper by yourself, you can't starve to death, not to mention, according to the regulations of Broken Leaf City, as a Tang person, you still have a hundred acres of land under your name to plan!

"The town guard envoy Rong Yu, Lu Dechuan was dragging me to run at that time, and all of us have indeed run enough 1,500 steps." With the same thoughts as Lu Dechuan, there is also Wang Debao. Gasping for breath, he stepped forward, tried to stand up straight, and saluted Zhang Qian's forked hand.

Zhang Qian ignored him, and just swept his gaze to the rest of the recruits. When he landed, the road was bare, and the horseshoe nails, iron pillars, poplar branches, talhu, plantain, Bao Ge and others were all unable to hide. One by one, they had to summon up all their courage and whispered in response, "Back to the town guard, Lu Dechuan is right." ”

"Go back to the town to guard the envoy, that's what Lu Dechuan said."

"We've really run enough, and we're not lazy."

"The head of the church has wronged us."

……

"Zhou Lv rate, come here! You say, what did you see just now? Zhang Qian glared at Ren Bing fiercely, and then quickly turned his gaze to the distance where he wanted to slip away but didn't dare to slip away.

"Go back to the town guard, lowly duty, lowly duty, see that they have run two and a half laps. I also hand-sent them bamboo sticks. Glancing apologetically at Ren Bingtou, Lu Zhou Kuang responded stiffly.

is also the head of the new barracks, but his rank is much lower than Ren Bing. And he is from Shule, while Ren Bing is from the Ren family in Chang'an.

"Why did Ren Bing beat Guy Zhang, do you know?" Seeing all of Zhou Kuang's movements in his eyes, Zhang Qianyu sighed again in his heart and continued to ask in a low voice.

Under his command, there are only more than 3,000 veterans in total, but they have automatically separated relatives and distant relatives.

Half an hour ago, he was still worried that the dragon slayer would grow horns in the future, but at this moment, he had already seen that the fable was becoming a reality little by little.

"My subordinates know!" Zhou Kuang didn't dare to offend Ren Bing, but he didn't dare to leave a bad impression on Zhang Qian, so he stubbornly responded in a low voice, "The head of the sect mistakenly thinks that Gang Leader Zhang is lazy under his brothers, and wants to teach him a lesson." But at first, he didn't make a ruthless move, and he did pump it towards the back. Later, I didn't know how to be careless, so I hurt the face of the guy. ”

"Yes, someone tried to whip him and pushed him." The head of the sect, Ren Bing, became more and more weak-hearted, and took the initiative to explain in a low voice.

Zhang Zhenshou hated people bullying the weak, which he had heard of when he was in Chang'an City. Steward Cui lost the favor of Zhang Zhenshou because he couldn't collect debts and tried to take away other people's farming cattle, and then changed from the chief housekeeper to the second housekeeper, so that Ren Quan picked up a big bargain. Today he beat up the recruits and was caught by Zhang Zhenshou, I'm afraid the ending is not as good as Steward Cui! At that time, Zhang Zhenshou was only a farmer, without any official position, and there was no need to win over those tenants. And now, Zhang Zhenshou is in a high position and urgently needs to win over the hearts of the army.

Sure enough, after finding out the cause and effect, Zhang Qian's face became even more ugly. Turning his gaze to him, he asked in a deep voice: "You mean to say that if someone hadn't pushed him, you would have no problem hitting him?" Your name is Ren Bing, and you have been transferred to my side as a guard by Ren Cong since the winter of the previous year, right? Have I beaten any of you in a year and a half? ”

"No, no!" Ren Bing's face suddenly turned red, and he responded in a low voice with a dumb voice.

"Then why are you so easy to fight?" Zhang Qian's voice was still not high, but it was full of irrepressible anger.

"Subordinate, subordinate knows that it is wrong, please punish the owner!" Ren Bing's heart twitched again, and he knelt down straight, not daring to make any more arguments.

He is the family member of the Ren family, and Zhang Qian is logically regarded as half of his master. Before dismantling his slavery and turning him into a big partner of the Six Gods Trading Company, as long as Zhang Qian didn't beat him to death, even if he was half-disabled, the government would definitely ignore him. However, Zhang Qian never fought any guards, and even rarely said anything serious to them.

"When you go to war, they are your brothers. You use them as slaves, and when you are in a matter of life and death, can you expect them to fight for you? Zhang Qian glared at Ren Bing fiercely, and shook his head with a blushing face.

Advanced firearms can allow the Leaf Shatterers to gain an advantage on the battlefield in the short term. However, it can't last long. Once the opponent has found the weakness of the firearm and started training on it, the slow-firing musket and the limited power of the grenade will lose their mystery and be greatly reduced. At this time, the competition between the enemy and the enemy is the real strength of the generals and the army, including the number.

With the current population base and farmland base of Broken Leaf Town, it is impossible for the number of Broken Leaf Army to exceed 20,000! And Zhang Qian himself is self-aware, in terms of command level, I am afraid that even Guo Yuanzhen is inferior. Then, when the bonus of firearms is greatly reduced, if he wants to win, he can only rely on the unity of the Broken Leaf Army, and the overall quality can far surpass the opponent. Otherwise, with advanced weapons, the Broken Leaf Army will become the late Ming official army in another time and space history, holding muskets and cannons, but being driven ducks by a group of savages who have just walked out of the mountains and forests!

"The town guard calms his anger, and he serves as the head of the church, and he is actually for the good of the brothers!" Seeing that Zhang Qian was about to "go astray", Luo Huaizu decisively reminded him beside him.

Zhang Qian lacked experience in dealing with low-level officers and non-commissioned officers, and he did not lack it. In his opinion, it is normal for veterans in the army to bully new recruits and superiors to bully subordinates. And usually the Lord will see the summary and not at all, or should not care. In the long run, this behavior helps to build up the murderous energy in the hearts of the soldiers, making them more fierce in the face of the enemy. More recently, this kind of behavior can develop the obedience of the brothers and make them obey their orders.

"For the good of the brethren?" Zhang Qian turned his head and glanced at Luo Huaizu in surprise, and repeated in a deep voice, "Looking for a whip at every turn, it's for the good of the brothers, what kind of truth is this?" ”

"The Keeper Calms His Wrath!" In front of a large number of ordinary soldiers, Luo Huaizu felt that it was necessary to maintain Zhang Qian's authority, so he didn't dare to call him a cousin, "It has always been like this in the army, but the guards are kind-hearted and love soldiers like children, and they will feel distressed when they see Captain Zhang injured." The subordinates believed that it was a blessing for the brothers that the town guards had mercy on the soldiers. ”

As he spoke, he clasped his fists again and saluted, and quickly glanced at Zhang Qian. And Zhang Qian was slightly stunned, and immediately, he quickly recalled in his mind that he was familiar with the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty that he was familiar with a while ago.

If you don't remember it carefully, you don't feel it yet. After recalling it carefully, he was shocked to find that in the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty, such as whipping, beating, hanging, tattooing, ear cutting and other punishment measures for errant soldiers, can be described as full of tricks. However, there seems to be no prohibition on the beating of corporal punishment of non-commissioned officers by officers.

In other words, when he saw Ren Bing whipping Zhang San today, he could be angry, he could scold, or he could have Ren Bing whipped him severely, but these behaviors belonged to the private authority of the boss and had nothing to do with military discipline. According to military law, even if Zhang San's whip was wronged, it would be in vain, and he didn't want to find a place to redress his grievances.

This is too unfair, no wonder in the late Tang Dynasty, the army has become the private soldiers of the generals! Finally realizing that he had made the mistake of "idealism" again, Zhang Qian muttered quietly in his heart.

However, belly slander is belly slander. Since there are no provisions in the military law, he can't be too strict with Ren Bing, otherwise, it will definitely make the pro-soldiers think that he is making a big fuss. Therefore, after sighing lightly, Zhang Qian stretched out a hand, pulled Ren Bing, who was kneeling on the ground and listened to the fall, and said in a low voice: "Since Secretary Luo Zhang intercedes for you, and Captain Zhang is not seriously injured, this town guard will let you go today." Remember, Zhang never physically punishes his subordinates, and if you beat a soldier for no reason, you are deliberately ruining Zhang's reputation. In the future, when Zhang learned about it, he would never be spared! ”

"Thanks, Xie Zhen Guard. Thank you, thank you, Secretary Luo! I didn't expect Zhang Qian to let go of himself so easily, Ren Bing was overjoyed, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted Zhang Qian and Luo Huaizu again and again.

"But you have struck him today, and it is true that you have beaten him without reason. So, you have to apologize to him in public. Moreover, all the expenses for his soup and medicine will be paid by you. In addition, you will be deducted from your military salary for three months to set an example! Zhang Qian glanced at him and quickly added.

"This, this, how does this make, how does this make it?" Zhang San was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, and he didn't even know how to stand firmly.

"This ......" Ren Bing was so ashamed that his face was red. He didn't care about the three-month military salary, in addition to the military salary, he also had a salary from the Liushen Trading Company, and no matter how hard he was punished, he couldn't starve. In addition, as an officer, he also allocated 300 acres of land near Broken Leaf City, whether it was hiring people to grow crops or raising sheep and shearing sheep, it was a lot of extra money.

However, as an officer, it would be too face-saving to apologize to a recruit commander in public. For a long time to come, the partners who came from Chang'an will definitely take this matter as a laughing stock. And in the future, if he wants to play prestige in front of the recruits, the other party will not dare to resist, and he will definitely take today's events as a reference in his heart.

"What, you're both not convinced?!" Seeing that Ren Bing and Zhang San had not reacted correctly, Zhang Qian frowned and asked in a loud voice.

"No, no, no!" Ren Bing shuddered again, turned his heart sideways, walked up to Zhang San with a twist, and gently hugged his fist to the latter, "Guy Zhang, I have a little bit of a temper today, please forgive me." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare!" How many times has the gang leader Zhang Sanji received such courtesy? When he boarded, he was so frightened that he jumped out of half a foot away, and gave up his hand again and again with tears in his eyes. "You're the leader, I'm a recruit. It is natural for a teacher to hit a student, and it is natural for him to hit a student right or wrong. ”

"Stand up straight and accept his apology, otherwise Zhang will hold a grudge against you!" Zhang Qian quickly frowned and shouted in a deep voice. "Ren Bing, apologize to him again. If the attitude is not sincere, Zhang will be dissatisfied with Zhang's disposition! ”

The gang leader Zhang San and the head of the sect Ren Bing were helpless, so they had to stand firm honestly and re-salute. The soldiers around him all looked at it secretly. But he vaguely felt that Zhang Zhenshou's actions today were probably not only aimed at Ren Bing and Zhang San, but at the entire army of the Broken Leaf Army.

Sure enough, personally supervising Ren Bing to salute Zhang Sanxing, Zhang Qian immediately turned his head and quickly glanced at everyone around him: "I don't care what the military discipline used to be, from today onwards, officers are not allowed to directly beat and injure non-commissioned officers on the battlefield." If there is a mistake in the soldiers, record it and hand it over to the Ming Fa to join the army. According to military law, small mistakes can be dealt with by oneself. If it is a serious mistake, any punishment heavier than twenty lashes must be reported to the captain on duty, and the captain must approve it before it can be carried out. If it hurts a limb, or cuts off a head, it must be submitted to the town guard to make the yamen uniformly approved. ”

"Yes!" The soldiers who watched the excitement around were in high spirits and instinctively bowed their hands.

"If someone is bullied by their superiors, or thinks that their superiors' handling is unfair, they can skip the next level and appeal to the higher-level Mingfa to join the army." After a pause, Zhang Qian continued to announce: "No matter whether the appeal is successful or not, no one may retaliate against him. If you still can't get a fair deal after the appeal is overstepped, you can go to the Chinese military tent to beat the drum and shout grievances, and the town guard will arrange a special person to make the final ruling! ”

"Yes!" The officers and non-commissioned officers who were watching the excitement around them once again bowed their hands in unison. Some people feel very uncomfortable in their hearts, and some people feel proud of their eyebrows.

"In front of the two armies, if military discipline is violated, officers at the rank and above can still enforce military law on the spot. No delays! After glancing at everyone again, Zhang Qian added coldly, "In addition, if an officer hurts a soldier for no reason, and a boss hurts a subordinate for no reason, they will be punished accordingly depending on the severity of the circumstances." The specific military discipline will then be formulated by the town guard, and then announced in public. Before the announcement, the past is not to blame. After the announcement, anyone who violates it will not be tolerated! ”

"Yes!" All the officers and non-commissioned officers obeyed the order again.

"Okay, spread out and go to training. the, patrol the patrol! Zhang Qianchong nodded to everyone and commanded loudly.

Everyone agreed to disperse, however, after only a few steps, they heard Zhang Qian shouting behind him, "Zhang San, take your brother and follow me." This town guard is going to personally check it today, and wait for the training effect in the past three months! ”

"This? Yes, sir! Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, and then responded loudly. Immediately, in a look of envy, he called out all his brothers and marched towards Zhang Qian.

"Go to the middle of the school yard and give you a quarter of an hour to prepare. Then, the basic formation queue is marched, transformed. Cooperate with weapons on the battlefield, shoot straight and throw bows and arrows at 50 steps, and climb obstacles with weights, one by one! Smiled and nodded to Zhang San and the others, Zhang Qianlang commanded, and then walked quickly to the center of the playground first.

The real purpose of specially leaving Zhang San and his brothers behind him was not to test the effect of the training, but to show in this way that he looked at Zhang San, Lu Dechuan and others differently, so as to avoid having officers who had a good relationship with Ren Bing, who were dissatisfied with the disposition just now, and deliberately gave Zhang San and other soldiers small shoes to wear.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Zhang Qian didn't believe that he had given an order today, and tomorrow the situation of veterans in the army bullying new recruits and superiors bullying subordinates could be eliminated immediately. In fact, as far as he knew, in another time and space, there was only one team that had ever eliminated this vice and achieved true equality between officers and soldiers.

However, the readers, who were protected by this team, preferred and admired gangsterism and domineering, and regarded them as the key to the army's victory. But they turn a blind eye to the true soul and core of this team.

"Your command today seems to have come from the scripture you passed down to me." Luo Huaizu quietly walked behind Zhang Qian and said in a very low voice.

"It's only a small part of it, and I can't do it." Zhang Qian sighed and responded in the same low voice.

He didn't want to bring advanced firearms, but in the end he created a late Ming official army. He needed an elite army that was small in number, but strong in battle, and the soldiers knew who to fight for. However, under the current conditions, he has not even been able to prepare a political organization that agrees with the concept of equality, and of course he cannot have the luxury of thoroughly implementing the equality of officers and soldiers in the Broken Leaf Army.

Therefore, he can only do his best to reduce the unfairness in the Broken Leaf Army, and do his best to cultivate the self-esteem of the soldiers, and give them the opportunity to defend their dignity through normal means and channels.

"It's really hard!" Luo Huaizu also sighed and nodded slightly, "I've been reading that scripture, and the more I read it, the more I feel that it makes sense." However, comparing the things you encountered in Broken Leaf City and the army, I feel that the person who can implement the content of that scripture more than 30% out of 10 is an immortal. ”

"Then let's learn the surface first." Zhang Qian was amused by Luo Huaizu's words. Immediately, he turned his head and looked at Zhang San and Lu Dechuan and other recruits.

He spent three or four months training recruits at all costs, not to replenish the original team with fresh blood. The original team, whether it was the personal soldiers he brought from Chang'an or the elite borrowed from Shule, all had obvious marks of the times on their bodies, and it was impossible to change them easily. However, the brothers cultivated in the new training camp are porcelain embryos that have not yet been finalized!

Luckily, he couldn't learn the core of that team on another plane, but he still had a chance to learn a little bit. Luckily, even if he only learned a few furs, it was enough for his new army to be ahead of the entire era, from appearance to soul.

"Zhang San, come here!" Thinking of this, Zhang Qian took a deep breath and ordered loudly at the recruits, "Don't be busy and start showing the results of the training, I'll give you another quarter of an hour to discuss with Lu Dechuan." Give you and all the brethren around you an official name! He's read books and knows how to help you. From now on, you guys can't have any more nicknames. It can no longer be called Zhang San, Lu Ba Cheek, Horseshoe Nail, Iron Pillar, Poplar Branch and Plantain! Each of you should have your own name and must have your own name. Your descendants will remember your names and deeds and glorify them. ”
