Chapter 5: Spring Dawn (Part 4I)
Chapter 5: Spring Dawn (Fourth)
The soldiers agreed, and the four officers who were restrained were slammed in front of the ring. Yu, Bian, Han, and Zhang were so frightened that their faces turned back, and they kept turning back, hoping that the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Praetorian Guard would see their old feelings and have the same hatred for themselves, and took the initiative to make loud noises and put pressure on Feng Changqing. However, the popularity of these four guys is really not very good, although they were taken down a little suddenly today, but it is difficult for the Wyvern Guards to sympathize, and some people actually have smiles on their faces, as if to say, "Grandma, you are just today!" β
"Say, how did the old man wronged you and waited. Why don't you tell everyone about it? Seeing that the four of them were blindly procrastinating and refusing to speak, Feng Changqing smiled and continued to ask.
"Subordinate, subordinate....... Among the four people, Yu Lingyuan, a fat man with a round face, is the most eloquent, but today it has become a stammer, and after a long time, he couldn't say a complete self-defense, and hung his head down with a red face.
"Since you can't say it, then I'll wait for you!" Feng Changqing spewed a cold breath from his nostrils and gritted his teeth. "Feng Mou was ordered to rectify the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, you think that Feng Mou came from a humble background, and you are not convinced, right?"
"My lord......." Yu Lingyuan immediately broke into cold sweat on his forehead, knowing that the things that his gang was doing in secret, I am afraid that none of them escaped the eyes of the other party, and he screamed and fell to his knees.
Feng Changqing glanced at him with his eyelids, and continued to question loudly, "Feng Mou removed the Flying Dragon Guards and broke them up and reorganized, and you waited to secretly contact and incite dissatisfaction, right?" β
"Feng appointed the general who returned from a hundred battles in the field to be your boss, and you thought that you had been wronged, and you have been disobeying your new boss, right?"
"Feng Mou excavated talents for His Majesty, and promoted a few people to be the team, and you feel that you have been climbed on your head by later generations, instigating Qi Heng's idiot to come out and prepare to sweep the face of the new officer, isn't it?"
"If Qi Heng wins today's competition, you will continue to contact more generals in the forbidden army to make trouble until Feng is squeezed out, right?"
Every time he asked, he paused for a moment, quietly waiting for Yu Lingyuan, Bian Jian, Han Shicheng, and Zhang Mouren to defend. How can these things be a shame, the four scum who have been caught only have the courage to do it in secret, and they don't have the courage to put what they do in the open. One by one, they knelt down, hanging their heads, and they didn't dare to speak.
Qi Heng, a reckless man who had competed with Wang Xun before, was already preparing to go out to be punished, and ran in circles around White Horse Fort. When I walked to the door, I heard the change behind me, and turned back silently. At this moment, I saw Yu, Bian, Han, and Zhang kneeling on the ground and hanging their heads, even if they were stupid, they understood that they were being used as knives. Separated the crowd, strode to the ring, and knelt down: "Qi is too stupid, please punish the adult!" β
"You still know you're stupid?" Feng Changqing glanced at him, some of them were very iron-clad and steel-clad "Mingfa joined the army and stepped forward to declare, according to what I just said, what crime have they all committed?"
"No!" Wang Teng, who joined the army in Mingfa, flashed out of the ranks and announced loudly, "If you complain more, you will be angry with its main general, and you should be beheaded!" If you don't listen to constraints, it's even more difficult to teach, and you should be killed! Good tongue and sharp teeth, reckless right and wrong, should be beheaded. Assign a sergeant to discord with him and behead him. Back to the general's words, Yu, Bian, Han, and Zhang committed a total of eight capital crimes, and they were punished for several crimes. However........"
"The general spares his life!" Before Mingfa joined the army to finish speaking, the round-faced fat man Yu Lingyuan had already screamed miserably.
"The general spares his life, I won't dare to wait any longer!" Han Shicheng and Zhang Mou also knew that they were in a catastrophe today, so they followed behind Yu Lingyuan, and kowtowed vigorously while mourning.
Only Bian Jian was stubborn, and when he saw that Feng Changqing was planning to kill himself as soon as he made a move, he immediately jumped up and shouted behind him, "You bastards, what did we say at the beginning!" The surname Feng has already detained the to our ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Guard Thirteen flew up and kicked it over, kicking it up. The surrounding soldiers dodged one after another, and the rest of the soldiers quickly plugged in, grabbed the arm of the side sword, and pressed it to the ground. When death came, Bian Jianwu shouted loudly, "Ah, I don't believe he has the ability to kill everyone." Today there is him ......."
Thirteen opened his arms, and there were two big mouths. At this moment, the officer surnamed Bian finally stopped. There was blood on the corners of his mouth, and his body was still writhing, "Lao Tzu ......."
"Ming Fa joins the army......." Feng Changqing's face turned pale, his eyes pricked up, and he shouted loudly.
Wang Teng, who joined the army in Mingfa, glared at the officer surnamed Bian fiercely, with a helpless look on his face, as if to say, you are looking for death yourself, no wonder me." inciting trouble in public, insulting the commander, and having been taught a lesson, he has no repentance. When chop! But ......."
Before he could finish speaking, the officer Bian Jian raised his head again and shouted, "My uncle is Bian Rang, the general of the Right Prison Gate, and my uncle is the General of the Right Prison Gate, Bian Rang......." (Note 1)
At this time, even Yu Lingyuan and other accomplices didn't want to continue to be with him, so they took the initiative to move their bodies, trying to kneel away from this person. Feng Changqing sighed and waved his hand downward. Several axemen rushed in from outside the door, dragging their side swords and walking out.
"My uncle is the general of the right prison gate Bian Rang, and my uncle is the general of the right prison gate Bian Rang. Spare your lifeβah! The screaming stopped, and after a few breaths, the knife and axe lifted a bloody human head with a tray.
Feng Changqing glanced coldly at the head, and ordered in a low voice, "Hang it on the high pole and show it to the public for three days to set an example." Three days later, the head was sewn up from the corpse and his uncle took it away! β
"No!" The axeman agreed, and strode out with the bloody head.
The officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army present were all veterans of a hundred battles who had rolled in the bush of knives, and they had killed so many people that they didn't care about seeing a head without a body again. The other Wyvern guards and newly recruited soldiers were all raw melons and eggs who had never seen blood, and they were all frightened and turned pale with earth, forced by strict military regulations, and closed their mouths tightly so that they didn't spit out the bile on the spot.
"What do you guys have to say?" After dealing with the officer surnamed Bian, Feng Changqing turned his head to the rest of the people kneeling on the ground again. Yu Shenhe, the round-faced little fat man, saw the opportunity quickly, and heard that Feng Changqing was not going to cut everyone at once, so he immediately kowtowed a few times and said loudly: "I was stupid, and I was provoked by Bian Jian's guy, so I was confused and broke into a big disaster." I don't dare to ask the general for pardon, I just hope that the general will read it for the sake of me and other first-time offenders, and give me a chance to mend my ways! β
"Yes, yes, we were all provoked by the kid from Bian Jian, and we didn't mean to mess around!" Several others also prostrated and begged for mercy, putting all the blame on the dead man.
The soldiers of the Wyvern Praetorian Guard looked at these few boneless guys, and most of the sympathy in their hearts turned into disdain. According to the basic impression of everyone, among the four evils of Yu, Bian, Han, and Zhang, Yu Lingyuan, a little fat man with a round face, should be the first. The other three were all under his direction. Especially the side sword that was cut off just now, it belongs to the one with the most heartless eyes in it. Relying on the support of an uncle who is a eunuch in his family, he often acts as Yu Lingyuan's thug. The bad things that he really took the initiative to do were not even one-third of Yu Lingyuan's.
Feng Changqing had obviously expected this situation a long time ago, shook his head contemptuously, and turned his gaze to Wang Teng, who joined the army of Ming Fa. The latter cleared his throat and said loudly: "According to military law, the three should be beheaded for public display." However, when the general entered the camp, he swore an oath that the first offender would only be punished with a military stick. Therefore, the three of them shall be punished for their crimes, and each of them shall be punished with four hundred rods. In order to avoid injury to the muscles and bones, it can be carried out in 10 days. β
The surnamed Bian himself killed himself! After listening to Wang Teng's words, all the soldiers understood why his gaze at Bian Jian just now was full of helplessness. Feng Changqing was ordered to reorganize the army, and Le Shi emphasized military discipline, so naturally he would not easily let go of someone because of his hard background. But the last note on the stone was a way for him to deliberately leave the Wyvern Guards alive. Knowing that the soldiers of the forbidden army were used to being loose and suddenly being strictly demanded, it was inevitable that some daredevils would try to challenge his authority. So it leaves a buffer room for both sides, so as not to really kill too many people and explain to the court.
If today's guy surnamed Bian didn't blindly mess around, but pleaded down like Yu Lingyuan and others. It is estimated that Feng Changqing used the means of beating the military stick to stir up the undercurrent of those who were dissatisfied with the whole army and suppress them, and let them go. But the surnamed Bian first instigated all the guards to make trouble together, and then carried his uncle out of the right prison door to put pressure on Feng Changqing. forced Feng Changqing and Ming Fa to join the army, Wang Teng, who had no room for maneuver, had to cut off his head!
"Hit! Forty sticks a day. Hit it every other day, until you finish beating it with 400 sticks! Just as he was sighing, Feng Changqing's order came to everyone's ears.
"Thank you, sir!" "Thank you, Lord for not killing!" Yu, Han, and Zhang San escaped death, and without waiting for the executioner to step forward and pull, they took the initiative to crawl out with a roll. The people were pressed to the wooden stools where they were executed, and the voices of gratitude kept coming out of their voices. "Thank you, sir!" Thank you, my lord, lightly, my mother! "It hurts me, ah!"
Such fools are innocent of death. With the sound of crackling sticks on the outside, the last bit of sympathy for the deceased of the Wyvern Guards disappeared completely. I know in my heart that the imperial court is going to reorganize the army this time, and I am afraid that it will be serious. If you want to continue to eat the bowl of rice of the Flying Dragon Guard, you have to put away the previous casual style and accept some tempering.
At this moment, there was only one reckless man left kneeling in the ring. Feng Changqing glanced at him and sighed softly, "Mingfa joins the army......"
"The subordinates are here!" Wang Teng arched his hand and responded in a low voice.
"Someone is extremely stupid and deceived, according to military law, what crime should he be guilty of?"
"Hey, hey!" The recruits and veterans pursed their lips and snickered, and their eyes were full of sympathy when they looked at Qi Heng.
Wang Teng, who joined the army in Mingfa, also pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head, and replied loudly, "The gang leader is all in a row, he is not serious in training, and he is distracted during the competition, so that he is knocked out of the ring and lost." General, you have already punished him for running laps around White Horse Fort three times. As for himself, is he stupid to be a sword maker for others? Tell the general, the military regulations do not say that stupidity is a crime! β
"Hahahaha!" The soldiers couldn't hold back any longer and laughed in unison. The depressing atmosphere caused by Feng Changqing's murder just now disappeared in an instant.
"Do you hear me?" Feng Changqing walked to the ring, leaned down and asked.
"I heard you!" Qi Heng's face was as red as pig's liver, and he got up in embarrassment, clenching his fists and listening to the training.
"Then go for a lap, if you can't finish the run, don't come back for dinner!" Feng Changqing waved his hand and drove him out. Then he turned his gaze to all the soldiers, "The old man knows that you have not suffered such a crime. But if you endure more hardships during training, you will have a better chance of survival on the battlefield. The Flying Dragon Guard is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, the face of the Tang Dynasty. If you can't even endure this bit of suffering, won't you let those barbarians from all over the world who came to pay tribute see the jokes of the Tang Dynasty?! Tonight, add dinner, each person will enjoy a jar of wine and half a pork leg. Fuck off, don't let me see you panting with your tongue out again tomorrow! β
"General Xie!"
"The Great General is mighty!"
A few foul words immediately brought the relationship between the top and bottom of the ring extremely close. The soldiers who had been tired all day felt that General Feng was indeed their own, and slowly dispersed with smiles and admiration on their faces. When the people under the ring were almost gone, Feng Changqing turned his head suddenly, and his knife-like gaze pointed at Wang Xun, "You idiot, if others provoke you, you will accept it." Do you think this is still the street of Chang'an? What is the use of military law to compete for the boss by virtue of the thickness of his arms and head? If someone asks the old man to compete in martial arts and wins one and a half moves, will the old man also give him the general's big seal? β
"The general's lesson is that his subordinates know that they are wrong!" Just saw how the other party borrowed the head of the side sword to stand up, Wang Xun admired the old fox's methods so much that he threw himself to the ground. He lowered his head and whispered in response.
"Stupid!" Feng Changqing squeezed out a one-word evaluation from between his teeth, "Nine out of ten of the guys who died on the battlefield were stupid to death." The old man doesn't want to see you die in the future. Give you three more days to think about how to be an officer. Three days later, the old man asked you to take the second team of the 7th Brigade to the big school field, responsible for maintaining order at the recruitment site. If there is a mess in the school field because of your stupidity, the military regulations are carved in the stone, and the old man will not be able to help you! β
After the reprimand, no matter how stunned Wang Xun was, he turned his back and walked away, surrounded by the thirteenth-rank guards.
Note 1: The general of the prison gate, a high-ranking position among the eunuchs, was responsible for maintaining law and order in the inner palace. Suddenly remembered that the new right emon in the series Ikkyu, if the Japanese system refers to the Tang Dynasty, this person is probably also gone.
