Chapter 1039: Military Law Is as Big as the Sky (Part II)
In the blink of an eye, it is the fourteenth day of the first month. If it were before, the city of Tokyo would have been full of lanterns and crowds, and it would have been many times more lively than usual.
Because every Shangyuan Festival, almost all the people in the city will come out to celebrate, and the shops and merchants on the streets will inevitably try their best to put out all kinds of lanterns to compete for beauty and attract the people. At night, the lanterns in the city will be as bright as a galaxy, more brilliant than the stars and moon in the sky.
But all this came to an abrupt end at this time of this year, because Sun Tu led the thief army to kill, which put everyone in danger in the city, and who would put their minds on such things again? So until today, there are not a few lanterns in the entire Bianliang City, but there are many more pedestrians on the road than in previous days, and they are all rushing in one direction, that is, the most lively cross street in front of Xiangguo Temple!
Just two days ago, with the sound of gongs, the people of the thief army were all over the city to spread the news that they were going to give a satisfactory explanation to many people who had suffered from the military disaster here, and bluntly said that they would deal with the soldiers who harmed the people with military law today, and General Sun Tusun, the Marquis of Yue, personally came forward to give everyone an explanation.
This really aroused the curiosity of hundreds of people, originally everyone was a little relieved because of the rules and behaviors of the thief army after entering the city, and then they were willing to accept everyone's complaints against the high-ranking officials in the court and made the people have a better perception of them, and now there is more General Yuehou Sun, who is regarded by hundreds of people as today's hero, to explain everything, which can naturally attract everyone's attention.
So even if the time is set after the time, but the genius is bright, thousands of people have rushed to the Xiangguo Temple from all directions under the cold wind, looking at the posture is better than the past days to see the lights of the Xiangguo Temple. After the hour, tens of thousands of people gathered in this area within a radius of several miles, densely packed, blocking all the streets and alleys.
In this way, it is naturally cheaper to buy many restaurants in the vicinity, especially the second and third floors of the hotels, which are full of guests, and the price of the private room is rolling up, but even so, it is still difficult to stop the enthusiasm of many people.
At this time, on the second floor of a restaurant, in the private room where you can see the situation on the cross street in front of you at a glance, several drinkers are drinking wine while commenting on the grand scene in front of them-
"Tell me, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Yue Hou, he called these many people, how will he send down his subordinate generals?"
"How else can it be released, it's just a show. Everyone has already been killed, can he still kill his own subordinates? If you really want to do this, I'm afraid that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under your command will not obey the order. ”
"This is reasonable, to talk about it, these thieves are enough to guard military discipline, and they did some looting and murder when they first entered the city, and now they are all honestly guarding the city gate and other important places, and they have no offense against our people, and they are even more disciplined than those forbidden armies in the past. They've all done that, and I really don't think that the Marquis can hold them accountable. ”
"But now tens of thousands of people have gathered to take a look, if you really lift the board high and put it down gently, how can Yuehou give everyone an explanation?"
"Well, these officials always have a way to fool the past, let's just watch. In my opinion, it should be enough to make people kowtow and lose some money. I've heard that the family that was killed was already rich and unkind, and colluded with the government to harm many poor families, and the soldiers who killed their whole family were also their enemies, which can be regarded as evil and evil retribution......"
Before he could finish the news he had heard, his companion on the side suddenly pointed to the cross street outside the window: "Look, there is a master on that stage." It immediately drew everyone's attention.
It turned out that in the past few days, a high platform of three or four zhang high and twenty or thirty zhang square has been temporarily built here, so that the people in the distance can also clearly see the situation above. At this time, Sun Tu, who was dressed in military uniform, had already ascended to the high platform under the entourage of several personal guards, and the whole popularity was so strong that the surrounding people were in awe when they saw it, and even the buzzing discussion was suddenly lightened.
Sun Tu only swept his eyes around, then raised the electronic megaphone in his hand, luckily dantian, and said in a loud voice: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers in Tokyo, I am Yuehou Sun Tu, and I am polite here!" The voice rolled out, and all the surrounding noises were suppressed at once, and the people were shocked, they really didn't expect Yuehou to have such magical powers.
After bowing to the surroundings slightly, Sun Tucai continued: "Today, Benhou asked people to summon you to come here just for two important things. One of them, which I had already spread throughout the city, was about some of the lawless things I had done to the thieves after they entered the city. Not only did they rob some innocent people's homes, but they even killed people and broke their homes, which was definitely not the purpose of Ben Hou when he first raised the army, let alone what I wanted to see.
"As early as when our army came from the south of Youzhou, Ben Hou had already issued dozens of military orders in the army, the most serious of which was not to hurt the innocent and rob the people, which is also the reason why our army came all the way and few cities resisted. Because everyone knows that I have come for the sake of righteousness, and I am not a thief who harms the people.
"But after entering the city of Tokyo, after all, there are still soldiers who violate our military law, not only arson and loot, but also kill and injure the people. In this matter, Benhou is duty-bound, not only to investigate, but also to give an explanation to the people in the city and the people of the world. And today, I am here to give you an explanation. ”
As soon as these words came out, tens of thousands of people around them were even more interested, and the crowd also surged. If it weren't for the fact that there were thousands of elite soldiers around the platform, I was afraid that the people would be able to crush this high platform. At the same time, someone shouted below: "General Sun, what are you going to do with those generals?" "It's just that the sound is covered by more noise around it, and it can't be heard far at all.
But Sun Tu seemed to hear it, his face was solemn, and he said: "When the military law was first established, Ben Hou stipulated that those who robbed the people were all punished with fifty military sticks. But because this matter is too serious, in order to warn the whole army, Ben Hou decided that in addition to the ordinary soldiers, who only receive fifty rods, all officers above the rank of commander will receive eighty rods, and they will be punished here, in front of everyone's eyes! ”
The "Boom ......" crowd exploded all at once, no one expected Sun Tu to be so ruthless, so iron-faced and selfless, saying that he would be severely punished, and he really had to blame the soldiers under his command in front of everyone. Of course, some people are quite disdainful of this, and feel that Sun Tu will put on a show, and at most a dozen or two people will be punished.
But before they could speak, the reality left them speechless. As Sun Tu's voice fell, hundreds of soldiers and generals had automatically come to the stage, they were only wearing single clothes, but they did not have the slightest intention of trembling, and their expressions were quite calm. After glancing at Sun Tu, he said in unison: "We have made a big mistake, and today we will be punished by the general, and we dare not have the slightest resentment!" ”
As they spoke, they took off their clothes and sat down on their knees around the platform, and then many of the soldiers came up with long and thick sticks, and they were about to be tortured. It was only at this time that everyone knew why this platform was so big, and it was clearly for so many people to be tortured together.
"This ...... Is he here for real? Those generals didn't complain at all...... "Too many people are stupid, and they really can't believe that there will be such an army."
But Sun Tu was not busy ordering the torture, but suddenly shed his clothes, revealing a strong and scarred upper body - those are all traces left during the battle, even if he is as strong as Sun Tu, he has suffered many wounds over the years - it is really shocking to watch. Just when everyone exclaimed again, he said loudly again: "Also, as the commander of the army, Ben Hou failed to control the soldiers under his command and let them harass and kill the people. Of course, they are at fault, but my grandson's fault is even greater, so today I will also be punished together, and it will be doubled, and I will be punished with a hundred military sticks! After saying that, he put down the megaphone in his hand and sat down on his knees like everyone else.
There was an exclamation just now, as soon as he finished speaking, he fell into a strange silence in an instant, no one spoke, everyone looked at Sun Tu on the high platform blankly, and they couldn't believe their ears and eyes.
Is this still the way of the world that you are familiar with? Isn't this a world where might is justice? Sun Tu obviously has a very high status, no one dares to trouble him even if he kills many people, how could he be willing to be punished in front of so many people for this "little thing"? And a hundred sticks that are so heavy......
You're not dreaming, are you? If it weren't for a dream, how could such an unreasonable thing happen?
"General ......" The soldier standing behind Sun Tu with a staff couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and timid, raised his military stick, but didn't dare to swing it.
"Come on, this is a military order, and it is a military law. As I said, military law is as big as the sky! Since it is the military law I set, it should start with me, a hundred military sticks, and my grandson can still stand it. Come on! The last two words, almost roared, shocked the soldiers behind him suddenly, and finally turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth, and suddenly waved the military stick in his hand, and then with a roar, he slapped Sun Tu's back hard, making a muffled sound.
When this stick really fell on Sun Tu's back, the people below woke up like a dream, and almost at the same time let out an exclamation - all this is true, General Sun really took the law by himself and accepted this military law in front of everyone!
At the same time, everyone else on the stage also waved their military sticks, and the sound of crackling was loud. A spectacular torture scene was presented in front of all the people without any concealment or adulteration, and it also made them truly understand the strictness of Sun Tu's military law, which was by no means a joke......
&&&&&
