Since each battalion donated some soldiers and horses to the imperial court, the Chen family army began to recruit new soldiers again.

Recruits were basically not recruited from among the locals, only from the displaced people who had fled or those who worked in the barracks.

The recruitment of recruits is generally handed over to the captains, and the recruits pass the test before they are introduced to the captains for re-assessment.

For the first ten days, the recruits carried supplies to the battalion, fed horses, chopped firewood, cleaned the barracks, cleaned the manure pits, and did all kinds of dirty work.

After these ten days, I will teach them some simple sticks, knives and guns, and finally high-level training such as archery and horsemanship.

Li Xiaofei didn't have the opportunity to go to see the training of recruits, but Hua Xiaoan kept reminding him that he should check the training of recruits, and Li Xiaofei knew that there was an article in it, so he took thirty personal soldiers to the recruit training ground.

"Climb now! Call Grandpa! A man wielding a long whip grinned

A bloodied recruit fell to the ground, and the recruits around him shouted, "Captain, you've killed someone!" If we fight again, we will all die! ”

"He is weak and sickly, and this captain has trained you to become brave soldiers! You have to thank me! The captain of the recruits continued to whip the recruits

Then several recruits fell, and Li Xiaofei came over to stop him: "Stop!" You're so careless about human life! Does Chen Zhong know? ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Li Dashuai, who lost his distance! These people are rebels who have committed rebellion, and I am training them today to give them a way out! Now that Li Dashuai is here, I don't dare to bend the law for personal gain, come on, behead all these rebels"

As soon as the captain gave the order, a group of soldiers came to escort the recruits.

"Li Donglin! You're spewing blood! That's not what you said when you lied to us to join the army! We are not some kind of rebels! ”

"We won't let you go!"

Li Donglin saw that the recruits began to make a fuss, so he hurriedly shouted: "Take these rebels away!" ”

"Wait! Even the rebels should have a chance to mend their ways, and let them speak! "Li Xiaofei wants to stop Li Donglin

"Li Dashuai really wants to embarrass these rebels?" Li Donglin looked at Li Xiaofei

Before Li Xiaofei could continue to speak, Li Donglin had already drawn his knife and slashed at a recruit

"Stop! Li Donglin, do you want to rebel? Li Xiaofei broke off with a snort, and Hua Xiaoan had already stretched out an iron rod to block Li Donglin's saber

"Li Dashuai, do you have to embarrass me today?" Li Donglin glared at Li Xiaofei

Li Xiaofei has also led soldiers for several years, and he has heard of beating recruits and bullying recruits, but it is the first time he has seen them in person.

This was the first time, and he had the idea that this was the last time! It's too inhumane, and this so-called way of governing the army is not what he wants.

I used to think it was just a symbolic work for veterans, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel.

If Hua Xiaoan hadn't reminded him in time today, these dozens of recruits would have been killed by Li Donglin on the charge of rebellion!

What's more, this Li Donglin is too arrogant, and he dares to threaten the coach!

"Li Donglin! You are guilty of mutilating new recruits and ruining the reputation of our army! Li Xiaofei drew his sword and pointed at Li Donglin

Li Donglin sneered: "Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!" I'm just trying to temper them, and I'm not going to do anything about it. It's normal for you to replace us old people! But remember, you can't move an inch without us! ”

Li Donglin's arrogance was beyond Li Xiaofei's expectations, and Li Xiaofei made up his mind that he had to kill today!

"Very good! Ci is not in charge of the soldiers! Come on, behead this scum Li Donglin, who disobeyed the order and killed the recruits, to show the public! This military discipline should be corrected!

”

As soon as Li Xiaofei said this, the soldiers behind him stepped forward to arrest Li Donglin.

Li Donglin saw that Li Xiaofei was really coming, so he pulled out his knife and shouted: "What a Li Xiaofei, eradicate dissidents!" Kill Chen Dashuai's old subordinates! Take advantage of our heads! ”

"Shut up! You still have the face to mention Chen Dashuai! It was scum like you who caused Chen Dashuai to resign! You still dare to draw a knife against your boss! This is the sin of treason! No mercy! ”

There was no forgiveness for killing, the soldiers were unscrupulous, and surrounded them, Li Donglin was finally outnumbered and knocked to the ground.

Li Xiaofei ordered everyone to tie up Li Donglin and prepare for execution on the school grounds.

At this time, the other captains of the Yizi battalion came to intercede for Li Donglin, Li Xiaofei looked at this formation, and sneered: "Today I have seen what it means to be a subordinate and a proud general!" Case! This Li Donglin is going to be killed even more! Remember to me that if anyone continues to disobey my commands, he will be killed. There is no mercy for those who kill the recruits and the people! ”

Li Xiaofei waved his hand, and his personal soldiers raised their knives and fell, and Li Donglin's head rolled on the ground. The school field was silent for a while, and Li Xiaofei, who was accustomed to the harmlessness of people and animals, no one expected that this seemingly honest and bullying Li Xiaofei would be able to cut Chen Hongyi's former love general with a ruthless hand!

Li Donglin's head was hung outside the gate for public display, and the thirty-seven people who were rescued were all Li Xiaofei's guards.

By the time Chen Zhong rushed over, Li Xiaofei was already thoroughly investigating the bullying and mutilation of the recruits by the battalions.

"Li Dashuai, my good brother, this can't be helped, you are going to force the captains of the battalions!"

"Brother Chen, if we continue to treat recruits like this, then the seeds of hatred have been planted in this Chen family's army, rather than fighting in the same room in the future, it is better for a strong man to break his wrist today!"

"On that day, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister have promised us that we will not be guilty of the past! At this time, the marshal still has to thoroughly investigate and deal with the previous affairs, isn't this forcing everyone to rebel? ”

What Chen Zhong said was the truth, even Chen Zhong's hands were stained with the blood of recruits, and he had killed some recruits who couldn't stand the beatings and fled.

Li Xiaofei looked at Chen Zhong meaningfully: "Since it is something that Your Majesty and the Prime Minister have promised, I hope you will not disappoint them again!" I hope that Li Donglin is the last Chen Jiajun soldier to be killed by my own hands! ”

"You won't be disappointed this time! As long as you don't go through old accounts, I believe that Li Donglin's head will teach everyone how to treat new recruits! ”

"I'm not going to go over old accounts, and I'm not trying to fix anyone! It's that everyone here is born of their parents, they are all flesh and blood, and they shouldn't be treated as mustard! I can't help myself to kill Li Donglin! If he had repented, I wouldn't have killed him! ”

"Handsome! Ci is not in charge of the army, Li Donglin does not know whether he is alive or dead, and killing him is also for the sake of military discipline! ”

"It's just a matter of time that I'm easy to be soft-hearted, and I can't see anyone being bullied, but I'm not like this kind of soldier!"

Chen Zhong didn't say anything anymore, thinking to himself that you Li Xiaofei cut Li Donglin, the captain who has made many achievements, without hesitation, who would dare to believe that you are soft-hearted.

With Li Donglin's example in front, the captains and captains of the 24th Battalion have relented a lot, because who doesn't know when Li Xiaofei will come to his own camp to check, and it is difficult to guarantee that no ordinary soldiers will sue in order to vent their personal anger.

Li Donglin's killing was naturally known to the imperial court.

At the court meeting, Chen Zhengnan mentioned: "I heard that Li Xiaofei killed a meritorious minister, I don't know what Your Majesty will do?" ”

"I want to hear things and opinions that are not hearsay!" Liu Jian was a little disdainful of Chen Zhengnan, not to mention the people sent by the academy, they couldn't get out of the camp by others, the opportunity was given to the academy first, it was they who were not angry, and now Li Xiaofei took action to rectify this group of arrogant soldiers, but Chen Zhengnan came to attack Li Xiaofei.

"Back to Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, what Li Xiaofei killed was a lawless officer who abused the recruits! Even if you have merit, you can't be a traitor! Liu Mingge also began to help Li Xiaofei fight back

"The minister's opinion is that Li Xiaofei was right to kill people, but he should report to His Majesty before killing people!" Huang Chuanting came in time to remedy Chen Zhengnan

"I'm afraid that Li Xiaofei will kill the generals without asking for an order, and in the long run, where is the court system? Where is the majesty of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court? Will this army become the Li family army again? Judging Yuanhao asked a series of questions, and every sentence hit the nail on the head

"This Chen Jiajun and Li Jiajun were all called out by you, General Chen has been loyal to the court all his life but was suspected by you, and now he has gone to Li Xiaofei, and you can't tolerate him! Dare to ask what the princes of Gon wanted? Do you want this army to become a rebel army before you stop! Murong Ling finally couldn't help but speak

Xun Gongtai Xiang Xiaoyu and the others joined the quarrel one after another, and finally Liu Jian spoke: "In this case, I have decided to assign the supervision army to Li Xiaofei's army to supervise Li Xiaofei and the generals!" What do you think? ”

"Your Majesty! No objections! As for Liu Jian's opinion, everyone agreed

"Okay, I'll send the inner supervisors Qin Abao and Qin Wulu to Li Xiaofei's army to serve as the supervisors!"

It was the first time that a eunuch was appointed as a supervisor, and the people in the academy wanted to oppose it, but when they thought that since Li Xiaofei dared to kill the meritorious generals in the Chen family's army, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be killed by Li Xiaofei as a supervisor by his side. So everyone in the academy agreed

Liu Mingge didn't have a good impression of eunuchs, but he felt that it was better than the people in the academy in the past, not to mention that the emperor was only at ease with eunuchs, and it would be extremely unwise to oppose the emperor at this time.

Murong Ling's purpose had already been achieved, as long as they didn't attack Li Xiaofei.

Qin Abao and Qin Wulu arrived in the army two days later to serve as supervisors.

Li Xiaofei was very polite to the two sharp-voiced prison soldiers, but the people around him did not give the two prison guards a good face.

Especially Chen Zhong, in front of the prison army, he screamed one eunuch after another, and insinuated that the two prison soldiers did not understand military affairs and wasted food in the barracks.

Li Xiaofei took the time to call Chen Zhong aside: "Brother Chen, you don't respect the prison army, of course, out of disgust for the eunuchs, but have you ever thought that they are also pitiful." This time, they did not embarrass us arrogantly, but treated us with courtesy, can't we even tolerate such people? If they can't stand it and run back to the palace, what will the emperor think? The two of them came to the army on behalf of the emperor! ”

Chen Zhong patted his head: "Thanks to your reminder, it's really too troublesome to deal with you people!" Thinking about so many things! ”

"I don't want to, I can't do it, little brother, I'm a person who dies for life, if it weren't for the emperor's blessing and care for you, my head would have been on my neck a long time ago. Don't think about it too much, okay? ”

After Li Xiaofei's reconciliation, Chen Zhong also paid tribute to the two prisoners since then, Qin Abao and Qin Wulu were a little flattered, so they took out the imperial wine they brought and shared it with Li Xiaofei and Chen Zhong.

"We have been sent to the palace since we were children, and we have been beaten a lot over the years, and it is even more common to be scolded and angry, I can't imagine that we can be a person in this barracks!"

"I also have a very hard background, and I am lucky to meet General Chen and the current emperor in this life, as well as so many friends, so I Li Xiaofei has a lot of respect for everyone. Life in the world is already hard, why should we be embarrassed by each other? Come, since the four of us are together, it is also fate, today the two overseers are willing to take out the treasured imperial wine, and they also treat us as brothers! ”

Chen Zhong raised the wine bowl and swallowed it, and wiped his mouth after drinking: "How can this imperial wine taste a little similar to the purple gold alcohol we brewed?" ”

Qin Abao laughed: "Hehe, General Chen really drank a lot of alcohol, this imperial wine is the purple gold alcohol that the Yizi Battalion dedicated to the palace!" ”
