Chapter 871: What is Military Law!
Just when Sun Bu was panicked, Li Zhongyi, who had a gloomy face, slowly stepped into the military tent, staring at Sun Bu with an extremely strange look, and did not blink for a long time.
Since Sun followed Li Zhongyi, how could he have seen Li Zhongyi look at him with such cold eyes, first of all, he couldn't hold up the huge psychological pressure, and his knees weakened, "Poof." He knelt down in front of his beloved countryman.
"Sun is not difficult, you can be guilty?" Li Zhongyi looked at Sun Bu with great sadness, this is an old brother who followed him into the world very early.
With the continuous growth of Li Zhongyi's career, the generals under his command can be roughly divided into the following factions: Hechi Township Military Faction, Lingzhou Cavalry Faction, and Kaifeng Miscellaneous Infantry Faction.
The generals of the Hechi Township Military Faction, in their private words, belong to the earliest Xun of Conglong, and they have always claimed to be the descendants of the Li family's army.
In fact, among the veteran generals of the Li Jiajun, those who belong to the Hechi Township Army are not only the commander of the Lingzhou Army, but also the commander of the Lingzhou Army, Guo Huai, the pacification envoy, Yao Hong, and Yang Lie, who has always acted as the deputy commander, Zuo Ziguang, who is in charge of the Military Justice Department, and Yang Wushuang, who is the commander of the Senate Department and the Inspection School.
The military faction of Hechi Township, both in terms of status and military strength, occupies a relatively large advantage.
As for the Kaifeng forbidden military faction, its strength should not be underestimated. Liu Heyang, the commander of the Second Army, Liao Shanhe, the commander of the Third Army, and Ma Guangda, the commander of the Fourth Army, all belonged to this faction.
However, unlike the Hechi Township military faction that united with the outside world, Liu Heyang and Ma Guangda could never pee in the same pot. As for Liao Shanhe, he only has Li Zhongyi in his eyes, and he doesn't walk around with Liu and Ma at all on weekdays.
Then there is the Lingzhou cavalry faction, and the situation of this group of people is even more complicated, there are not only Song Yunxiang, the commander of the Fifth Army, who is deeply valued by Li Zhongyi, but also Li Yong, a party member who tries his best to pretend to be a Han Chinese, and He Dabei, the left deputy commander of the Senate Department.
All in all, in the power structure of the Li family's army, it basically belongs to a situation of coexistence and co-prosperity of various factions. Although the Hechi Township military faction has some upper hand, it does not have an absolute advantage and can overwhelm the other two factions.
It can be seen from this that Li Zhongyi's painstaking efforts are under this system, which not only has separation of powers and checks and balances, but also can concentrate military orders to form a joint force to suppress the risk of going down to a very low level.
"My lord, how to deal with the thief Yang Biao?" At this time, Li Yanqing, the deputy commander of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department, cautiously approached Li Zhongyi, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
"Such mad people, after interrogating the rest of the party, will be buried alive directly, and there is no need to report it to me." Li Zhongyi returned to his former calm demeanor, but as soon as this order came out, the entire tent seemed to be hit by a meteorite outside the sky, and everyone was immediately blown away.
Everyone present, without exception, knows Li Zhongyi's personality. Although Li Dashuai is more lustful, he has always been a person who pays attention to friendship, as long as it is an old brother who has followed him for a long time, whether it is a lack of money at home or a wartime disability, Li Zhongyi will instruct Yousi to make proper arrangements.
Li Zhongyi has a famous saying, Liu Heyang has always remembered very clearly, in Lao Tzu's team, it is absolutely not allowed to appear, and the heroes are bleeding and crying.
However, just now, Liu Heyang witnessed with his own eyes that Li Zhongyi actually issued an order to bury his old brother alive, which was definitely an unprecedented major event.
Yang Huaizhong's face was pale and he secretly cursed Yang Biao, damn dog thief, burying you alive is cheap, even if you die, Lao Tzu will dig up your body and feed it to the wild dogs.
Li Zhongyi's sudden turn of face and ruthlessness greatly shocked everyone present, Li Dashuai, who has always been righteous and friendly, once he was touched by someone, the ruthless killing and tragic revenge were completely unbearable.
Li Yanqing didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Zhongyi's decision, according to military law, those who commit rebellion will be killed!
Li Zhongyi did not order Yang Biao's entire family, even the five clans, in Li Yanqing's opinion, it was already a very light punishment!
Hehe, if Li Zhongyi knew Li Yanqing's true thoughts, he would definitely give a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Not bad, not bad, quite the style of Jinyiwei or Dongchang!" ”
Compassion is not in charge of the army, benevolence does not ask about politics, Li Yanqing's understanding of this sentence is extremely profound!
Li Yanqing is also a general from the Hechi Township Army, but, unlike Yang Lie and others, he, like Li Yunxiao, became Li Zhongyi's personal attendant with a knife early.
It is conceivable that when Li Zhongyi is qualified to eat, change clothes, take a bath, and even pick up girls, the general who hangs the knife and guards is not an absolutely trustworthy henchman, what can he be?
When Zuo Ziguang was not sent to Kaifeng to preside over the overall situation, Li Yanqing had always been his deputy, responsible for secretly monitoring and mastering all movements in the army.
To borrow a sentence from Zuo Ziguang, we can summarize Li Yanqing's mentality at this moment: The glory always belongs to the teacher, and the villain will be for it!
After Li Yanqing went down, Li Zhongyi had a gloomy face, slowly walked in front of Sun Buyi, and asked him coldly, "What do you say?" ”
Yang Huaizhong on the side saw it very clearly, although Li Zhongyi pretended to be casual, but his right hand, which had been clenched tightly, completely exposed his heartache at this moment.
As the saying goes, even if you have a dog, as long as it lasts for a long time, the owner will inevitably have quite feelings. Even if the dog dies of old age, the owner will not be willing to eat its flesh, and in most cases, the owner will choose a good piece of land and bury it.
Perhaps, it is not particularly appropriate to use raising a dog to understand Li Zhongyi's mentality at this time, but at least it can explain some problems.
"The student has lived up to the love of the mountain chief, and was crushed by the sugar-coated cannonball you said, please ask the township marshal to punish the student in accordance with military law." Sun is not difficult to prostrate on the ground, kowtowing heavily, crying and sobbing, the scene can be described as miserable.
Liu Heyang, who was standing beside Li Zhongyi, saw that Sun Buyi's forehead had been broken, and the dazzling blood was particularly pitiful.
Liu Heyang couldn't bear it for a while, so he wanted to take the initiative to stand up and say a few words for Sun Bu and help him plead for mercy.
Yang Huaizhong received Liu Heyang's eyes, he hesitated for a while, Sun Buyi's nature at this time can be described as extremely serious, and he will definitely die according to military law.
But the problem is that Li Zhongyi led these generals to conquer the east and west, crusade against the Quartet, and killed either Goryeo sticks or Khitan dogs, those are all enemies, either they die or they die, they must be killed!
Now, the butcher's knife of military law is about to cut at the head of their own family, and the huge change in mentality can only be felt by them.
Yang Huaizhong knows Liu Heyang very well, and what Lao Liu thinks about the most now is probably that it is not difficult to kill the corrupt Sun today, and will he cut them tomorrow to these veteran ministers?
The so-called, the death of the rabbit and the fox are sad, and the lips and teeth are cold, which can quite explain the true mood of the generals at this time!
Yang Huaizhong was very embarrassed, his identity was different, he was the pacification envoy of the Second Army, and he was in charge of personnel review and military appearance and discipline. In the case of Sun Bu Tsui secretly colluding with Yang Biao and colluding with illegal Goryeo profiteers to smuggle for profit, Yang Huaizhong, the political chief, could not escape the involvement of poor supervision.
Liu Heyang saw that Yang Huaizhong closed his mouth tightly, and he also understood the difficulties in Yang Huaizhong, but everyone couldn't help but intercede, right?
At this time, after Li Yanqing made the arrangements, he returned to the tent and stood behind Li Zhongyi again.
Li Zhongyi has been staring at the remorseful Sun Budifficult, and Liu Heyang has always been aiming at Li Zhongyi's demeanor, as for Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing quickly noticed Liu Heyang's impatience.
Although Li Yanqing was born in Hechi, he has always been a family general, that is, a retainer, with his understanding of Li Zhongyi, it is difficult to give up today's affairs.
Even if Sun Bu is not a rebel, and he has the courage to protect the lord loyally, the problem is that he seriously violated military law.
Li Yanqing thought about it for a while, if he was standing in Li Zhongyi's position, how should he deal with Sun Bu?
The answer is yes, those who dare to violate military law must strictly follow the rules and regulations and be dealt with accordingly.
Meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, everyone will be treated equally, and the officers and men of the three armed forces will obey the command in all actions!
"Come on, blow the trumpet and assemble!" Li Zhongyi's mood is extremely complicated, on the one hand, he is the old brother who has followed him for many years, and on the other hand, he values the military law very much.
Li Zhongyi worked hard to create an invincible iron army like an arm, and the process was too difficult!
If, because of mercy, a small number of generals are corrupt and cannot be severely punished in time, it is easy to cause a misunderstanding among the generals of various factions: as long as the merit is great, even if the crime is committed, it is not terrible!
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party only took care of the interests of a small group, but finally misled the country, and the tragedy always warned Li Zhongyi that if he didn't kill the unhealthy tendencies from the beginning, his heirs would be even more handled!
Military law is a rule, how can there be no rules?
"A thousand-mile causeway, destroyed in an anthill!" Li Zhongyi threw down this sentence, turned around and walked out.
Liu Heyang noticed that Li Zhongyi's expression was wrong, he was anxious for a while, and quickly ran to Li Zhongyi, knelt on his knees, and begged: "Lord, please reward Sun Buyi with a chance to make meritorious contributions for his outstanding achievements, right?" ”
Before Li Zhongyi could speak, Li Yanqing blushed and took the initiative to block in front of Li Zhongyi, and shouted: "Liu Hongguang, don't you want to invite people to buy people's hearts and trap the lord for injustice?" ”
Yang Huai, who was originally a little hesitant, was planning to take the opportunity of not being held accountable by the law to hug Sun Bu to intercede.
Unexpectedly, Li Yanqing stood up at the right time, and his vigorous drinking simply and neatly pointed out the essence of the matter, so that Yang Huai and others did not dare to come forward again!
Liu Heyang actually didn't think about it that much, however, Li Yanqing's accusation was extremely harsh in nature, and he was so frightened that he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Oh, Li Zhongyi wants to be disciplined and strict in military law, and Liu Heyang ran out to be a good person, isn't this equivalent to roasting Li Zhongyi on the fire?
Li Yanqing killed in time, and scared off the generals who planned to take advantage of the situation to intercede collectively, although Li Zhongyi did not say anything, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the lord really raised a good dog!
Outside the tent, the loud sound of military trumpets sounded one after another, followed by the hurried footsteps of the soldiers and the sound of the number of urgent gatherings.
"Report to the head, the B capital A team has been assembled, please instruct!"
"Report the total value of the star officer, the C battalion has been assembled, it should be one thousand and eight people, but it is actually one thousand and eight people, please instruct!"
"All of them, stand upright, take a break!"
When Li Zhongyi walked to the door, he heard today's chief star officer, pull his throat and announce loudly, "Everyone, the military horn that has just been urgently assembled is issued by the commander's exclusive commander, please stand up and wait for the commander's instructions!" ”
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Li Zhongyi endured the sourness in his heart, and said calmly, "You have violated military law, how to deal with it has nothing to do with your relatives." Your family, I will arrange someone to take care of their lives, so you don't have to worry. ”
"Township marshal, the sinner Sun is not difficult to die without resentment, I just want to ask you for one thing......" Sun Bu looked at Li Zhongyi by the door with tears in his eyes, and pleaded with tears in his eyes, "I just beg, die on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, hack to death a Khitan dog is enough, hack two to earn a ......"
As soon as Li Yanqing heard this, he immediately realized that it was not good, and with Li Zhongyi's temperament, he couldn't listen to such unusually heartwarming words.
In the blink of an eye, Li Zhongyi was furious, rushed over and grabbed Sun Buyan's neckline, hit it with a fist, and kicked with a wave of his legs!
"Smack!" Li Zhongyi exerted all the strength of his body, slapped Sun Bunan viciously, slapped Sun Bunan to the ground, and scolded without regard to the image, "You dog, you are really angry with Lao Tzu, you lack money to spend, you ask Lao Tzu to borrow." There is a lack of women to play, there are many Korean women in Lao Tzu, you have opened a dog's mouth in vain, I don't know what to ask for Lao Tzu? You bastard, you turned the sky upside down, you dare to do the big crime of killing your head, did Lao Tzu teach you this? Ah, I'm so angry......"
"Ah......" Liu Heyang and other senior generals, how have they ever seen Li Zhongyi's rude side, they were all frightened!
Yang Huai sighed secretly in the center, Sun Bu is really a tough guy, the more simple the request he made, the more uncomfortable Li Zhongyi felt.
Li Yanqing lowered his head and stared at the ground, he knew better than anyone else that Li Zhongyi's unprecedented gaffe had obviously been driven to the brink of a rampage.
"Whew...... Call...... Shou Zhong, does the surname Sun have a son? Li Zhongyi was tired, so he simply sat on the ground and asked Li Yanqing coldly, but he was stunned.
Fortunately, Li Yanqing has been closely guarding Li Zhongyi's safety, he came to his senses in time, and hurriedly reported: "Back to the lord, Sun Bu's cousin is an uncompetitive woman, who only gave birth to two daughters for him, and has no children so far. ”
Li Zhongyi was like a scoundrel on the street, sitting opposite Sun Buyi, he panted and instructed Li Yanqing, "You take Sun Bu Dian across the sea, help him take a few concubines, and wait for the women to give birth to a son, and then tie this angry dog to the Northwest Front, let him die gloriously on the battlefield, so as not to tarnish Lao Tzu's reputation!" ”
"Whoa!" Li Yanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although Li Zhongyi did not spare Sun Buyi in the end, he had already done his best to be benevolent and righteous, so that no one had anything to say.
Yang Huaizhong is very able to understand Li Zhongyi's heartache at this moment because of his profession, on the one hand, it is an awe-inspiring and inviolable military law, and on the other hand, it is a deep friendship between brothers and sisters, and it is absolutely impossible for him to deal with such a human touch in Li Zhongyi's position.
Liu Heyang let out a long breath of turbidity, the lord is still the lord who talks about friendship, but the ruthlessness of military law is firmly rooted in his mind.
has been with Li Zhongyi for so many years, and he is still a general with outstanding achievements, Li Zhongyi has not been soft in the slightest, let alone the rest of the officers?
After Li Zhongyi instructed Li Yanqing, he pursed his lips tightly, left the tent without saying a word, and walked straight towards Dianjiangtai.
After the horn of the emergency assembly was sounded, all the torches in the whole camp were lit, and the night was as dark as day!
Yang Huaizhong followed behind Li Zhongyi nervously, and unintentionally, he unexpectedly noticed that between Li Zhongyi's pursed lips and teeth, there was a particularly dazzling red mark.
"Wow!" Yang Huaizhong was taken aback, he never dreamed that Li Zhongyi would be so sad when he raised the butcher knife to his brother.
In front of everyone's eyes, Li Zhongyi, whose face was bloodless, stepped step by step on the Dianjiang platform and stood proudly in the center of the high platform.
"All stand upright, salute!" The Chief Star Officer didn't know what had just happened, and he had to follow the norms of his duties and command everyone to salute the commander.
Li Zhongyi, who had a blue face, stood on the platform with his hands in his hands and never said a word. For a time, the atmosphere on and off the stage, and even in the entire barracks, became more and more solemn and solemn.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you drop the roots to the ground, you are likely to hear a crisp falling sound!
I don't know how long it took, Li Zhongyi suddenly put down a cruel sentence, "No matter who it is, as long as you dare to violate military law, you will never be lenient!" ”
The generals on the stage all knew it, but the soldiers on the stage were confused, and Li Zhongyi didn't bother to explain.
I saw that Li Zhongyi took a positive step, ......walked off the stage of the general, and stood side by side with the flag officer!
Liu Heyang and the others, as soon as they saw this frame, they knew that something was wrong, and they hurriedly ran down the platform, and stood in a straight row behind Li Zhongyi.
This stop is one night!
What's even more terrifying is that when it came time to eat breakfast, Li Zhongyi was still standing!
The commander didn't move the place, who would dare to order a meal? So, everyone was hungry and stayed up until it was time for dinner, and Li Zhongyi suddenly blushed and boarded the car and left the barracks silently!
