Chapter 153: Military Law (First Update, Ask for Subscription)

Jiangning Weaving Department, Liangjiang Governor's Office, Kangxi Qianlong's palace during his southern tour, well, it seems that there is the Tianwang Mansion, and the presidential palace......

Zhu Mingzhong, who was in the "Yanping Palace" Grand Signing Hall, looked at this Great Signing Hall and imagined in his mind that hundreds of years later, this would be the location of the "Presidential Palace". But it seems to be ...... Well, the Liangjiang Governor's Office after the Tianwang Mansion was burned down and rebuilt.

The reason why he is here and participates in the affairs of the military state is entirely because of the notice sent by the general yesterday afternoon, as the chief soldier of the Loyal and Righteous Army, no matter how you say it now, he is also a second-class general...... Well, of course, this is not the will of Yongli, but Zheng Chenggong's reward, because Emperor Yongli and Zheng Chenggong are far apart, and he is specially allowed to set up six officials and officials such as inspection, announcement, and trial to facilitate governance, and at the same time allow him to appoint official positions, military attachés up to one grade, and civil servants up to six department heads. Every time Zheng Chenggong paid homage to an official, he invited Zhu Shugui, the king of Ningjing, and other Ming Dynasty clans to watch the ceremony to show respect for the system. After capturing Changzhou, Zhu Mingzhong was promoted to the chief officer of the Loyal and Righteous Army, a dignified second-class general.

At this time, Zhu Mingzhong, who felt a little bored, occasionally set his eyes on several clans sitting on both sides of Zheng Chenggong, who represented the Ming Dynasty at this time.

In the end, he also set his sights on the body of Zhu Shugui, the king of Ningjing, who should be the last clan of the Ming Dynasty, and the last backbone, as a symbol of the orthodoxy of the Yongli court, he was in Taiwan, when Zheng Kexuan descended to the Qing Dynasty, he committed suicide with five concubines, which also proved the backbone of the Ming clan.

The history books say that he is majestic and beautiful, but now it seems that there is indeed no exaggeration, not to mention the tall figure, his appearance is also extremely handsome, and he has a long beard on his face that can even be described as a "beautiful beard".

"I don't care how many people the Japanese killed in the Northeast and how much grain and coal they transported, as long as I don't want to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I won't ......be willing."

Thinking of Pu Yi's words, as well as the ugly faces of the children and grandchildren of the so-called "Aixin Jueluo" in those difficult days, Zhu Mingzhong smiled at Zhu Shugui, and Zhu Shugui also noticed that Zhu Mingzhong's eyes fell on him from time to time, but he did not show any smile, and even took the initiative to choose to avoid it.

But even so, this scene still fell into Qian Qianyi's eyes, and he, who was among the civil officials, only lowered his eyebrows slightly, hiding this scene in his heart and did not speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the south has been restored, this Northern Expedition can be described as a success."

Although Zheng Chenggong is quite serious on weekdays, today he said in a rare kind tone:

"More than ten years of hardship, how many brothers sacrificed, all for this day. Tens of thousands of brothers can finally look at Jiuquan, and we will also see the ancestors and the emperor...... These brothers died today under the military law of the domain, can the domain not be heartbroken? ”

This is killing people in the right military law......

Zhu Mingzhong secretly thought in his heart, only saying that life and death, the ancients did not deceive me, but it was just a sentence, Titica...... More than 1,000 heads were cut off, not the heads of the Qing army, but the heads of more than 1,000 Zheng soldiers, who either insulted women, robbed and killed people, or caused chaos in the city.

After a few days of indulgence, Zheng Chenggong also knew that he was going to kill people and be martial, otherwise in the long run, how could this army's heart not be chaotic?

But even so, what did you do in the first place? Is military law something that can be indulged in?

Perhaps, this is the difference between the ancient army and the modern army, the difference lies in military discipline, the military discipline of the ancient army is arbitrary, and it is transferred by the will of the commander. Although military discipline in modern times is equally strict, it is prescriptive, and even the chief general cannot punish his subordinates with military law at will. If you want to kill your head, unless you are on the battlefield, you must pass the trial of the court of martial law, and the same is true of the punishment. However, modern military law forms absolute restraints on officers and men at all times.

But here, Zheng Chenggong cut off the heads of more than a thousand Zheng Jun with a word, regardless of the severity of their crimes, just for one thing, he needs to use his head to correct the military law.

And the reason why this is so is because of their indulgence of officers and soldiers. The usual indulgence of military discipline!

"These brothers did not die on the battlefield of killing the Qing captives, but they died in the military law of the domain, can this clan not be heartbroken? You must warn your subordinates to once again strictly enforce military discipline. The banks of the Yangtze River have always been rich, since they are not comparable to Fujian, if the soldiers are the master of plundering, then what is the difference between my Northern Expedition and the bandits? You are all dignified men, why do you work hard? Why did you brave the stormy waves and come all the way to the expedition, and why did you have to risk your life to go on a northern expedition with this domain to clear the captives......"

Speaking of this, Zheng Chenggong remembered the hurricane in Yangshan last year and the setbacks he had encountered over the years, and then he took another breath, adjusted his emotions, and continued:

"All of you are the generals of the imperial court who have been given the title by the emperor, if you have no lofty ambitions, then this domain is just the leader of a group of rogue bandits, how can we be awarded this eternal honor. As the old saying goes: "The people are the foundation of the state", the northern expedition of the feudal clan was originally to save the people from hanging upside down, and how could they kill the people like a captive? Therefore, this domain once again reiterates the military order: our Northern Expedition was originally to save the people, if the officers and soldiers in the army dare to disturb the people, don't blame the military law for being ruthless! ”

"Lord Qiqi, we will strictly order the soldiers, and Biqiu will not commit any crimes!"

Gan Hui confessed first. The rest of the generals also stood up and shouted in unison:

"Subordinates listen to orders!"

Everyone's voices were firm and morale was high. In fact, in the past few days, they have gained a lot of benefits, such as the mansions of the Chinese Duke and the Hou Mansion in Nanjing, most of which were rewarded to them by Zheng Chenggong, and other benefits have also fallen a lot, such as the women and children in the city, the survivors were all plundered into their homes as slaves, and even more than 100,000 acres of Jiangning garrison Eight Banners outside Nanjing were also divided up by them. For a time, all the generals in the army could be said to be extremely rich. In this regard, Zheng Chenggong naturally turned a blind eye. Even Zhu Mingzhong, who was lying at home recuperating from his injuries as an outsider, in addition to a house, Gan Hui also ordered someone to send him a land deed of more than 2,600 acres of land, and no one was left behind...... The biggest difference between a maritime group and an ordinary official.

"That's great!"

Nodding slightly, Zheng Chenggong, who had some joy on his face, looked at everyone and said.

"At present, the south has to be restored, the whole country is shaken, the puppet officials of the cities in the south of the Yangtze River are even more panicked, the local can be said to be a rumor, these days there are dozens of states and counties have handed over the book, Jiangnan Kefu is just around the corner, however, although the southern capital has been restored, but the Qing Dynasty is still according to my rivers and mountains, the great cause of the Northern Expedition has not yet functioned, I invite you to come here today, it is to discuss this matter, I don't know what you suggest?"
