Chapter 166: Preparations for the Conquest of the Shang Kingdom (6)
"Report ~ King, something happened."
Early the next morning, as soon as Ji Fa got up, he heard someone hurriedly report that someone was making trouble in the Yin Eighth Army, as if he was dissatisfied with the law of slavery soldiers.
"Hmph, so many people are against it, and he is a special one." Ji angrily threw Shujian aside.
In the Hall of Virtue, many ministers did not dare to speak, only Taigongwang and Zhou openly spoke.
"There are only a few people who make trouble with the king, and most of the rest are obedient to the king's orders."
"If you are right, please let the king reward and punish clearly, appease those who obey the king's orders, and hand over to the law ministers to punish those who do not obey the king's orders."
Ji Fagang wanted to say yes, but after thinking about it, in this way, it would not be conducive to gaining the value of defeat.
"This can't work, I haven't gotten the defeat value for a long time, and it's not a good thing to go on like this." So Ji Fa's eyes rolled, and he immediately had a good idea.
"Isn't it true that if one person is guilty, the others are not at fault? According to King Lone, this matter is caused by the indifference of other people, such an army not only loses benevolence, righteousness and virtue, but also makes Lone very disappointed, disappointed... ”
Then Ji changed his words and deliberately said angrily: "I want to go and inspect it in person." ”
The ministers were frightened, only Zhou Gong and Taigong looked puzzled, and they didn't know what their king wanted to do, but they chose to believe Ji Fa, because their king had never disappointed them, and often came up with ideas that they didn't expect, and they were all unexpected, but the final result was the same as they expected, but the two of them couldn't think of this kind of idea, so they only thought that it was Ji Fa's virtuous and talented, which was beyond their reach, so every time after this, They have an intuitive trust in Ji Fa in their hearts, that is, they believe without any doubts, and those who have doubts only learn from themselves, thinking that what they have learned is not enough, so every time they encounter this kind of incident, they go home and study hard, and it has been going on for a long time like this.
And this time, the two of them also had a learning attitude, and followed Ji Fa's line to the Yin Eighth Army, one of the barracks, at this moment the news has been transmitted, they have learned of Ji Fa's arrival, and the commander of the soldiers who took care of their barracks was anxious, and at this moment he scolded these regular soldiers who made trouble ten thousand times in his heart.
"What's the noise, now the king is here in person, hey, this group of rabbits are waiting to be stabbed."
The commander of the army knew very well what had happened, and this was how it was at the time.
"A few regular soldiers who made trouble, used to be the children of wealthy families in Xiqi City, and then sent their children to the barracks, because a few of them were too stubborn, their parents could not educate them, and they wanted to send them to the barracks to hone their skills, so as to change their temperament, if there is still a chance in the future, if they return home, they can also inherit the family business and family property, it can be said that the life is relatively rich, and there is no need to think about livelihood at all, so these regular soldiers have developed this arrogant and rude character, I think I'm very remarkable, but in fact there's nothing special, just like a normal person. "The Commander of the Soldiers now regrets it very much.
He regretted that as the commander of the soldiers, he had not detected this, and if he had noticed it earlier, he would not have let these little soldiers mess around.
It turned out that these regular soldiers, when they saw a few thin slave soldiers, they directly stepped forward to provoke them, but these slave soldiers didn't eat their set at all, and left directly, but I didn't expect these slave soldiers, thinking that the slave soldiers looked down on them, plus their identity, they thought that the slave soldiers were very low, and immediately opened their mouths to insult them, the scolding was very ugly, and every sentence hit their pain points, so the slave soldiers opened their mouths to fight back, and a few of the slave soldiers jumped like thunder, Directly hit them, how dare the slave soldiers admit defeat, since the king's royal order came down, they are happy, and their hearts suddenly have a little courage.
"Want to bully us? No way! We don't bully others, and others don't want to bully us! ”
So several people fought, until the commander found out, it had been fighting for a while, and the commander gathered the other soldiers, directly pulled them away, and then all of them were locked in the firewood camp.
Immediately after the report level by level, I didn't expect that as soon as the commander of the army learned about the situation, Ji Fa knew about it, and he was about to come over soon.
The commander of the soldiers saw that there was no way, so he had to bite the bullet and wait for Ji Fa's arrival, and he was ready to be scolded by Ji Fa.
However, he thought about it for a while: "The king came here to deal with this matter, as the commander of the army, why can't I deal with it first, and then wait for the king's acceptance?" ”
So after thinking for a while, he came to Chai Ying, and thought: "This matter is mainly caused by a few slave soldiers, and they should be punished by the main punishment, and they should be kept closed for a week, and apologize to a few slave soldiers in front of the whole army. ”
Although they did not take the initiative to provoke, they also participated in private fights, and it stands to reason that ... No... No, I look at the king's meaning, is to improve the status of slavery, so as to serve the territory, now this thing has happened, so if you deal with it like this, it will affect the previous royal order, if it is contrary to the royal order, he understands that it is not far from death, so he must ensure that these slave soldiers, do not let them be angry, otherwise he will be angry, so he is ruthless to attack these regular soldiers, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the anger of these slave soldiers, and then he communicated, Isn't it just to make the slave soldiers happy, just change it to normal people's thinking.
Then he rolled his eyes, and soon had an idea, so the commander of the army quickly came to the firewood camp.
He pretended to be deep and said: "Loosen the slave soldiers and get up, and tie up those troublesome rabbit cubs." ”
The guards who were in charge of them immediately complied, and soon got a few people out, and the slave soldiers who had been loosened were flattered, and stood aside to see them, and then a few troublesome soldiers were tied out, and then knelt outside, and then the commander of the soldiers ordered to bring a few stools.
"A few troublemakers violated the king's order, locked up for seven days, and then tortured." The commander of the soldier announced loudly to the whole army.
Several troublemakers were cold in their hearts, and when they were imprisoned, they had a lot of calculations in their hearts, originally thinking that they would be divided by the punishment of seven days of confinement at most, so they didn't take it seriously, but waited calmly, and even had some smugness in their hearts.
"What's the matter with bullying them, these slaves, and what can you do with me? Isn't it just a seven-day lock-up, and a few days of patience will pass, and I'm not afraid of anything to eat and drink anyway. ”
But now they are stunned, especially the punishment, in ancient times it was not a simple punishment, ten times the punishment basically this person couldn't get up for three days, there was a lot of pain, they couldn't stand at all, they were in bed for twenty times and they were dying for a week, and they were basically half a life gone after thirty sentences, and now when they thought of the punishment, they felt a chill in their backs, and the arrogance just now was all gone.
"Commander of the soldiers, we were wrong, we didn't know it for the first time, we didn't dare anymore, except for this, we are willing to accept all other punishments, save us, Commander soldiers." Several troublemakers all knelt on the ground at this moment and begged for mercy, begging for forgiveness from the commander of the soldiers.
"The military law is ruthless, the royal law is even more ruthless, you should be punished if you violate it, stand up for me, you are not a soldier yet." The Commander of the Soldiers rebuked angrily.
The commander of the army thought to himself: "A few rabbit cubs, why did you go earlier, talk well early, this matter will not be over, you have to do something to the slave soldiers, now they are the king's fragrant buns, dare to offend but there is no good fruit for you to eat, think you are unlucky." ”
"What are you doing in a daze, execute it immediately." The commander shouted.
Considering the impact of this matter, the commander of the army did not call the others to watch, because he knew that the whole army would know about it soon, so why embarrass these people? Therefore, he immediately ordered his soldiers to carry it out.
"Commander."
A few soldiers brought low tables and chairs and carried a few people up.
"Slow down, you have suffered, please forgive me for my dereliction of duty, you have suffered injustice in violation of military law, you go forward and execute these soldiers who have violated military law." The commander of the army apologized kindly.
Several slave soldiers were flattered, and immediately tears were about to fall out, they were very moved, their status as slaves was bullied before joining the army, and they had never had a good day, nor were they happy for a day, and now it is different Since joining the Yin Eighth Army, not only have they been respected before, but also have a much better life, and now they are wronged, and there are people to help them get angry.
Several of them knelt down to thank the commander of the soldiers, and then all stepped forward, took the big board, and directly began to be angry with these troublesome soldiers, and vented all the grievances they received.
The commander of the soldiers thought in his heart: "Drink~ These few are really ruthless, it is estimated that the resentment in my heart has been in my heart for a long time, but this is good, if I act like this, it will be exactly what I want, such a disposition is not known, the king is not satisfied." ”
"The king has arrived."
With a shout from Lichen, Ji Fa took Zhou Gong and Taigong Wang into the barracks angrily, and just saw the scene in front of them, how smart the three of them were, and immediately understood that this was the disposal of the commander of the soldiers, and then saw the commander of the soldiers who came to salute with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, it's good to deal with." Ji Fa laughed.
Then he didn't care about these people, and took Zhou Gong, Taigong Wang, and the commander of the soldiers, and directly entered the tent.
"Proceed with the execution."
A few slave soldiers were overjoyed, and the troublemakers were completely ashamed.
"I didn't expect the king to support us too, it's really good." Several slave soldiers were both happy and moved.
"This can only be seen in Zhou Guo, I have never seen such a scene before, I have stayed in Zhou Country in this life, I will not go anywhere, I will not go anywhere, and I will not be good in Zhou Guo."
A few slave soldiers swore movingly.
In the barracks tent, Ji Fa smiled and said: "Yes, it seems that you, the commander of the soldiers, are very competent." ”
The commander of the soldiers was very happy, and when he saw the king like this, he was glad that he had done the right thing, but it felt a little strange to see Zhou Gong and Taigong laughing for a while.
Ji Fa then said with a straight face: "But if something like this happened in your barracks, how should I punish you?" ”
