Chapter 25: Criticism (3)

The squad leader still didn't give up and asked, "Don't you care about brotherly feelings?" Ignoring the care I took for you? ”

"If you don't talk about this, we really don't want to mention it yet, pick up your feelings, I think you have a relationship with money. Speaking of taking care of us, if we hadn't given you our monthly salary, I guess I would have disappeared without a trace like the brothers who disappeared before. The bench was also full of complaints about these things.

Dogan pulled the bench next to him and said, "What else are you telling him?" Have you forgotten where you came from? Remember that we are from among the people. Look at what he did, 10,000 kills are not enough. After speaking, he turned to look at the brothers behind him and asked, "Everyone! Will you betray your lord for the sake of these beasts? ”

As soon as the dog finished asking, the soldiers below said loudly: "Please rest assured, we will never betray the lord for the sake of a few beasts!" ”

Rihito came behind the squad leader again, lifted his hair, and asked him face to face, "Do you know now?" Reflect on what you've done, and there's no time for a while. With that, he threw him among several criminals.

Liren said to the audience again: "Is there anyone else to correct these few?" There was silence below, all quietly watching Liren's actions. After waiting for a long time, no one came to correct him, and Li Ren knew that the people below were all looking at whether they were protecting their subordinates. He immediately announced: "Since there is no one to correct them, then I am ready to pronounce a sentence on them." After speaking to the people, he said to Chen Lin: "Mr. Chen, you come to announce their crimes and punish them." ”

Chen Lin straightened up, came to the stage in a serious manner, and announced loudly to the audience: "According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, those who commit adultery will be beheaded, and those who murder will be beheaded." These men have already committed the crimes of murder and adultery, and the punishment for both crimes shall be beheaded. Because they are my Suzaku soldiers, and they have violated the military rules and ordered three killings, and they have three orders to kill those who have taken captives and rappers. So to sum up all the crimes, I declare! Looking at the expectant eyes of the people in the audience, Chen Lin knew that he had succeeded today. With excitement he said loudly: "Executioner! Where? ”

Li Ren gave his five guards a look, and they strode up to Chen Lin's side and hugged their fists and said, "The subordinates are here!" ”

Chen Lin nodded and ordered: "Escorted criminals!" ”

"No!" The guards worked together and took two criminals into custody. One tugged at their long hair, and the other compared knives to the criminal's neck. At this time, Chen Lin saw that it was ready, and immediately ordered: "Open and slash!" ”

With an order, two heads rolled to the ground. The two guards, who were pulling their hair, immediately carried two heads to the stage to show the public, and the people below applauded. In this way, the sufferers no longer doubted Liren's call, and they came to the stage to speak out loudly about their grievances.

At the end of the day, twenty criminals were killed. The reputation of Yang Liren, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Army, who loved the people, flew to the land of the Great Song Dynasty with the landing of twenty heads. The people of Jiju no longer had anyone who resented the Suzaku Army, which laid the foundation for Rihito to expand his power in Jizhou.

On the second day of the meeting, the heads of soldiers who had been convicted of robbery, rape, and gratuitous killing and abuse of civilians hung on the gates of Jizhou. Underneath these heads, on white paper, wrote what these soldiers had done. The people who didn't know came to watch, and the people who knew didn't forget to spit on these beasts when they walked by.

The entire Suzaku Army suffered a disgrace in this incident, and every soldier felt guilty for these things. Zhang Hu observed carefully, and every soldier had a melancholy on his face. After leading the army for a long time, he immediately felt that things were not good. When he came to Liren's office, Zhang Hu hurriedly reported to him after the report: "Lord! If this continues, the morale of the soldiers may be exhausted. ”

Li Ren smiled and raised his head to stop writing and asked, "Zhang Hu, what did you find?" Tell me what you know. ”

"Lord Qiqi, all the soldiers now, especially the officers and soldiers who have surrendered, have a melancholy look on their faces. If this continues, the lowly feeling may be in danger of mutiny. Zhang Hu hurriedly said.

Liren listened carefully to Zhang Hu's narration, nodded, stood up and walked in front of Zhang Hu. Instruct him: "You sit down first and listen to me slowly." Zhang Hu's face was full of anxiety, and he sat down on the seat next to him and waited for Liren's further plans.

At this time, Liren looked at the air outside the window and said, "I already know what you said. I also know what the specific reason is. Now I am writing an instruction on the ideological construction of our army. No matter how urgent the matter is now, without the right direction, everything we did yesterday will be in vain. However, what I didn't expect now was that the army would mutiniate because of this incident. Li Ren paused, turned to look at Zhang Hu and said, "You immediately gather all the soldiers to gather at the school military field in the north of the city, and I am ready to review the army." ”

Zhang Hu led the order to retreat, and Liren ordered the guards at the door to arrive: "Go!" Call Brother Yang Zhiwen for me. The guards left in a hurry.

After a while, Yang Zhiwen walked in with a tired face, and Liren took out a written article from the table and handed it to him, without saying anything, looking at his expression carefully.

Yang Zhiwen took the manuscript incomprehensibly, and just saw the first paragraph, his face was full of surprise. After reading the whole article, he praised loudly: "Wonderful! Second! Wonderful! ”

Li Ren looked at him with a smile and asked, "Brother Zhiwen, I don't know how to call a wonderful word for my little brother's clumsiness?" ”

"I can't give a final evaluation yet, but in my mind, what you call "Ideological Education in the Army" is very thought-provoking. The words are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the sentences are to the point. What a wonderful word! Yang Zhiwen praised in admiration.

Rihito blushed a little next to him and thought, 'Hehe! It seems that Grandpa Mao's ideological guidance also worked in ancient times, although it has been changed, hehe! After thinking about it, he said to Yang Zhiwen: "Brother Zhiwen, it's ridiculous." ”

Yang Zhiwen said to Liren seriously: "It's not a false praise, what I said is true." Yesterday, I observed that from the beginning of the criticism incident, all the soldiers had a bad face. Although they knew the importance of the people, and they also had a shocking criticism of the army's thinking, it was a bit too serious. I didn't sleep all night, thinking all the time about where we should go and what we should do about the decadent state of the army now. It was until you came here to see this article on "Ideological Construction of the Army." My eyes suddenly opened up, what I didn't figure out last night, now I figured it out all at once. Speaking of this, looking at Rihito in front of him, there was only light in his eyes.
