Chapter 4 Violations of Military Regulations

When Lin Yi ran over, there were not many people in the courtyard of Nuoda. More than a dozen torches illuminate the place.

In the center sat a bearded general, about forty years old, without a hat, with his hair tied up, and dressed in cowhide armor.

Next to him stood a cowhide helmet, wearing cowhide armor, a plate belt, a knife across his waist, and cowhide combat boots.

Lin Yi recognized it at a glance, this was their chief flag commander, Wang Jian.

Seeing Lin Yi running over first, a trace of consternation flashed in Wang Jian's eyes, and his gaze fell on his ill-fitting clothes, and he regained his calm.

The 16 border soldiers soon arrived, and the last one to come was that Zhang Hua, who came out of nowhere, and spit out a chicken bone in his mouth.

These border soldiers were a little surprised when they saw Lin Yi, especially Zhang Hua cast a puzzled look at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't say anything, he felt awkward about his ill-fitting clothes. Because Zhang Huashui is a big man, he is 1.8 meters. And Zhang Hua is less than 1.75 meters, lean and thin, and the two of them are half a head, so Lin Yi wears Zhang Hua's armor and sings a big opera.

"I hope nothing happens." Lin Yi remembered the attempted bathing by the river before going to bed, and said silently in his heart.

But it was difficult for the guards to arrive. Before the arrival of these 18 border soldiers, this office had a total military establishment of 112 people, but now there are more and more deserters, and there are only 69 people left in the entire 100 households.

The reason why there is a distinction between guard soldiers and border soldiers is because of the military system of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty implemented the guard system, and the commanders of the guard were generally hereditary, and they were only responsible for stationing troops in the guard, not for leading the troops to fight.

In the event of a war, the imperial court appointed the general soldier and the deputy general army to lead the troops to fight the guerrilla and other commanders to the guard station to order troops. After the battle, the soldiers were returned to the guard.

It took more than ten minutes before and after this gathering, procrastinating, some of them were carrying their pants and slowly soaring, without a little of the vigorous and resolute nature of the soldiers.

couldn't help but Lin Yi was shocked, such a lazy team reacted so slowly, where did it get its combat effectiveness? The Tartars want to be killed, and it is strange that they are not all wiped out.

This is the regular army of the imperial court? Even those minions who occupy the mountains are probably stronger than them. It is no wonder that the Ming army will lose the battle, not only can it not win the Tartars, but even the peasant army of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others will not be able to win.

But these two officials seem to have long been used to it, and they are not surprised.

Now the border soldiers and the guards are united, but only formally.

In total, more than 80 people stood in three rows.

"What's the matter at such a late hour?" A soldier rubbed his eyes and said impatiently.

"Who knows?" The other yawned.

After the general flag is named, let the hundred households speak to the chief.

At this time, a personal soldier of the head of a hundred households ran over, carrying a coat of armor in his hand, and placed it beside the head of a hundred households.

Lin Yi recognized the armor at a glance, it was the one he threw by the river, it was broken, and he was going to make a mistake tonight!

Lin Yi's heart tightened suddenly, it must have been that girl who complained to her father who was the head of a hundred households, and Lin Yi now also speculated that she was the only daughter of Zhang Baihu. Because there are no villages within ten miles of the neighborhood, and no girl will come here to bathe alone when it is dark. There is only one girl in the institute, it is her Zhang Xiaoying.

She must have said that someone peeked at her taking a bath and insulted her, and now Lin Yi also knows that this is the feudal era more than 300 years ago, and this matter is very serious, peeping at the boss's daughter taking a bath, it is estimated that she will have to engage in military law, and it seems that she will be miserable tonight.

Lin Yi's heart beat the drum up and down.

"Damn, whose armor is this?"

The centurion's name is Zhang Cheng, with a Shandong accent, and his mouth is not clean, pointing to the armor on the ground, and he stood up with a leather whip as he spoke, his eyes were like buns, and he looked at this group of soldiers.

In the end, all eyes fell on Lin Yi's body, Lin Yi was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, and his eyes were also staring at his inappropriate dress.

The scene was terrifyingly quiet, and Lin Yi could hear his own heartbeat.

"Nobody admits it, does it? Lao Tzu ordered five times, the river below is a draft river, don't let the river take a bath, who the hell is going to take a bath tonight, stand up for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will whip him 300 whips! ”

Lin Yi chuckled in his heart for a while, he made trouble for a long time, wasn't it a matter of voyeurism? What a false alarm. So that Zhang Xiaoying didn't sue? Maybe he didn't see who it was at the time, and the little girl was frightened, and he didn't have time yet, right? Thank God......

What, draft river, don't let you bathe in the river, how did I not know about this? It may be that I have been recuperating during this time, and I don't know the rules here, so it is said that I can't go down to the river to bathe, but the river water is flowing, so what does it matter if I wash it? But she Zhang Xiaoying ...... Lin Yi didn't dare to think about it anymore.

But at this time, Lin Yi felt a lot more relaxed, even if he admitted that he went to the river to take a bath with a black pot, what could he do? It's not going to kill your head for this, is it?

"Lin Yi, come out!"

Lin Yizheng was thinking about being named, so he had to stand up hard, and this time the more than 100 eyes of the whole institute were focused on him at once.

"Don't think that if you don't admit it, this hundred households won't know, this armor is yours, with a name on it, and the evidence is ironclad. What else do you have to say? Zhang Baihu pointed the whip in his hand at him and shouted.

Lin Yi was completely wilted now, and secretly scolded the original owner of this body in his heart, bastard, why did he put his name on the armor, it was impossible to justify, so what else did he say, he had to admit it.

"Good boy, Lao Tzu has been in this place for generations, for so many years, no one dares to break the rules of the house, you are also the first, relying on yourself to be a border soldier, right, Lao Tzu has to whip you 300 whips!"

Zhang Baihu was furious, and strode towards Lin Yi with a horsewhip.

Lin Yi could have found a reason to reduce his sentence, for example, he didn't know, or that he was a first-time offender, so he didn't make an example, and begged the hundred households to raise his noble hand, and so on.

But Lin Yi's face was as resolute as iron, his eyes were like torches, and he didn't say a word, he knew that there was no exception in front of the discipline of soldiers, and there was no reason, this was the military order of his crossing the front iron.

The soldiers of the whole institute looked at it like this, some didn't care, some of them looked angrily, it was the kind of expression of lamenting their misfortune and being angry, and some were gloating and whispering.

"Hundred households, slow down!" No one expected that Zhang Hua shouted at this time, and even Lin Yi was stunned.

Seeing that Zhang Hua seemed to have made a great effort, "The little one has a good feeling, Lin Yi has been recuperating during this time, and the little one is responsible for serving him during this time, and the little one in the house hasn't had time to tell him about the rules." ”

Lin Yi felt a sense of gratitude, he didn't expect this guy to still have a conscience, at this time, only he dared to plead with himself, a little chivalrous, it seems that he didn't kill him in the first place.

"In that case, exempt you from joint and several liability, Lao Tzu only whipped him with 200 lashes today, and it's none of your business."

"Thank you, sir." Zhang Hua's little narrow face showed a smile again.

It turned out that this thing was afraid of joint and several liability, and thought that he had chivalrous courage, but anyway, he was still grateful to him for reducing himself by 100 lashes.

Zhang Baihu raised the whip high again, and Wang Jianyi, the chief banner, frowned and said, "Your Excellency, be merciful under the whip."

Zhang Baihu turned his head and looked, a little impatient, "Damn, you want to protect the calf?" ”

Wang Jian hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "My lord, don't dare to be humble." Lin Yi deserves to violate the rules, but he has not recovered from his injuries, and if the 200 lashes go down, he will either die or be disabled. He killed two Tartars before he was wounded, and he had military merits, and he was pierced through the heart by an arrow from the Tartars, and he picked up a life. ”

Zhang Baihu hesitated, looked at Wang Jian, and then at Lin Yi, "This ...... Well, in that case, the 200 lashes were also exempted, but the matter could not be counted, and he was punished to carry water for ten days, and he was to take care of the water of the whole house by himself, starting tomorrow. In addition, I see that this kid's injury is almost healed, and he went to bathe in the river again, and he ran fast just now, so let them both go back to the barracks from tomorrow. ”

This is tantamount to saying that the special treatment of the sick number has been abolished.

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness." Wang Jian glared at Lin Yi as he spoke, so you don't mean thank you?

"Lord Xie Baihu, Chief Banner Commander Xie."

Then they announced their disbandment and went back to sleep.

This turmoil finally passed, and Lin Yi returned to the house and breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, brother, why did you think of running into the river to take a bath......" Zhang Hua complained for a while, moving back to the barracks meant that he had to do a lot of chores, and he would never be so idle and free again.

However, Lin Yi was happy in his heart, the voyeurism was finally not lost, what is it to pick a few days of water. But what happened next, Lin Yi knew that what he thought was a little simpler.
