In Daniel Zhang's tent, when he heard that Liu Cheng said that Zhang Zhiji's artillery blew up the chamber, he was worried about Zhang Zhiji's safety, but it was not easy to show it, so he could only endure it, but fortunately, there was no big problem.

Daniel Zhang asked, "How about General Shi and those soldiers?" Were there any casualties? ”

Liu Cheng replied: "General, the stone general is fine, but the soldiers are seriously injured, and I have asked the general stone to lead people to send those soldiers for treatment." ”

"Let's go and have a look?" , Daniel Zhang got up and said.

"General, the last general saw that it was going to rain on this day, so he asked Shi to call back the general and soldiers, so as not to aggravate the injuries caused by the rain again, why don't we wait here, I think the general Shi will be there soon."

Daniel Zhang looked at Liu Cheng with some doubts, but he didn't blame him, but just sat back in his chair and waited.

Not long after, Shi Fuxing led a few soldiers who were in good condition and Zhang Zhiji to Daniel Zhang's camp, "Subordinates see generals." ”，

"See General." Several soldiers saluted with Shi Fuxing with Zhang Zhiji.

Daniel Zhang looked at Mr. Shi and said, "Let's all get up, Mr. Shi, what's going on this time?" ”

Shi Fuxing said a little nervously: "General Hui, my subordinates met Captain Zhang when they went out of the camp to practice artillery today......

Without waiting for Shi Fuxing to finish speaking, Daniel Zhang opened his mouth and interrupted: "Slow, go out of the camp to practice artillery?" Why do you have to go out of the camp for drills, don't you, as the commander of the Shenji Battalion, know that firearms are not allowed to be taken out of the barracks without authorization? ”

Daniel Zhang's question was not in Shi Fuxing's prepared words, which made him even more nervous, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing Shi Fuxing's appearance, Liu Chengcheng knew that it was going to be bad, and hurriedly said: "General, the firearms drills of the Shenji Battalion were all drilled in turn at the school during the training time, because in a few days it will be the martial arts evaluation, and the evaluation of the martial arts is very important, so the time is precious, and the shooting range cannot accommodate the entire Shenji Battalion to practice at the same time, so the general will deliberately allow them to go out of the camp to practice." ”

Shi Fuxing listened to Liu Cheng's statement and hurriedly echoed: "Exactly, exactly." ”

Daniel Zhang was so easily fooled by Liu Cheng, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, General Ben will remember the matter of the camp drill for you first, and you will continue to talk about it." ”

Shi Fuxing continued: "Yes, my subordinates happened to meet Captain Zhang at the gate of the camp, and Captain Zhang pulled his subordinates to learn how to operate artillery, but his subordinates couldn't shirk it, and thought that Captain Zhang was the general's pro-military captain, so his subordinates agreed in a moment of confusion, and asked the general to surrender." ”

Daniel Zhang slapped the table and said, "Can my pro-military captain let you break military regulations and be lawless?" If it weren't for the fact that no soldiers were killed, General Ben would have had you pulled out and cut you down right now. You go on, why does the artillery blow up? ”

"After the subordinates took Captain Zhang and a team of soldiers to the place of the exercise, the practice went smoothly at first, but in the middle Captain Zhang suddenly wanted to check the target target of the artillery, and the subordinates stopped it once but failed to stop the second time, so they had to continue the drill with the soldiers, and when the training time came back when Captain Zhang came back, the subordinates ordered someone to collect the firearms and return to the camp, but Captain Zhang saw that there was still a shell left and insisted on firing another shot, also because his subordinates had not taught it well before, and Captain Zhang practiced artillery for the first time today, and the operation was not familiar. Xu was not cleaned up in the chamber, which led to the explosion, and the subordinates saw that the situation was not right, so they only had time to protect Captain Zhang, and the others heard the subordinates shouting a loud reminder that they did not come and ran away and blew up, which caused a few people to be injured. According to Liu Cheng's previous reminder, Shi Fuxing stood there and stopped talking, waiting for the fate.

Daniel Zhang looked at Zhang Zhiji and asked, "Captain Zhang, what Shi General said is true?" ”

Zhang Zhiji knelt down on one knee and pleaded: "General Hui, what Mr. Shi said is true, everything is the fault of the lowly position, and it has nothing to do with others, and the lowly position is willing to accept the punishment." ”

Shi Fuxing also pleaded guilty at this time: "Please punish the general together, and his subordinates are also willing to accept the punishment." ”

Daniel Zhang looked around the camp tent and asked the other soldiers who came with Shi Fuxing, "Do the others have witnesses?" ”

The others replied together: "All the lowly posts are witnesses with their own eyes, and they tell the truth of what the general has said." ”

Hearing everyone's answer, Zhang Zhiji knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty: "In this case, Shi Fuxing ignored military regulations, favoritism and artillery, injured the soldiers, and was sentenced to 20 military sticks. ”

After listening to Daniel Zhang's disposition, Liu Cheng said loudly: "General......"

"General Liu has something to say?"

Liu Cheng said: "The general of this matter also has the responsibility of not being strict with the emperor, please punish the general, but the general thinks that this punishment is not enough to form a deterrent, although the general and Zhang Xiaowei did not violate the seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings this time, but it is a great fault for such an accident in a non-war situation, and please think twice about the general." ”

Listening to Liu Cheng's words, Daniel Zhang's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in an unkind tone: "Does General Liu mean that I am partial?" ”

Liu Cheng hurriedly defended: "The last general didn't mean this, I didn't have a holiday with Captain Zhang, and Shi Fuxing was still a subordinate of the last general, so the last general was willing to accept the punishment." It's just that there are few people in the Beijing camp who don't know the identity of Captain Zhang, and if such a major mistake is just an understatement, the last general is worried that it will damage the prestige of the general and the governor. Previously, Captain Zhang's identity and what he did on weekdays were much discussed, and after this incident, the last general was no longer suitable for Captain Zhang to stay in the army. The last general only thought about the overall situation, fearing that this matter would affect the morale of the army and the prestige of the governor and general. ”

Daniel Zhang weighed for a long time, his face changed several times, Zhang Zhiji was entrusted by the governor and what happened to him before, before he arranged to enter the Beijing camp, the Zhang family has been in charge of the army for several generations, if Zhang Zhiji is expelled from the military camp because of violating the military law, leaving a case record, there will be no possibility of being in charge of the military camp in the future, and Zhang Zhiji will also be hit by a lot of blows again, so Daniel Zhang is also quite angry with Liu Cheng, but if he shields Zhang Zhiji in front of these many soldiers, his reputation will be damaged, But once the prestige of the British duke is damaged, it will be difficult to restore it in the future.

Daniel Zhang gritted his teeth and said to Liu Cheng: "General Ben can understand General Liu's good intentions, and since General Liu is so considerate of the governor and General Ben, I can't live up to General Liu's painstaking heart, and Liu Cheng obeys the order." ”

Liu Cheng immediately knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said, "The last will be." ”

"Twenty military sticks for yourself, a fine of half a year."

"Yes." , Liu Cheng heard it, this is revenge, according to his thoughts, at most it is a reprimand or a fine for March, which is a military stick.

"Shi Fuxing, sentenced to thirty military sticks, fined for three months."

As soon as Shi Fuxing's punishment came out, this was naked disgusting Liu Cheng.

"Herald Captain Zhang Zhiji, be sentenced to forty military sticks, remove from the post of herald lieutenant, you have no military status, and you have no position, you are not allowed to stay in the barracks in the future, and leave quickly after receiving the penalty."

Daniel Zhang's treatment of Zhang Zhiji is already extremely strange, since he is not allowed to stay in the barracks, but he is originally suspended, and there is no military status, as long as he goes to work, he naturally cannot stay in Beijing camp without his position, and it is not an expulsion, so it does not affect his case record.

But Zhang Zhiji was not thinking about these at this time, he did not consider the promotion to the head of the army in the future, but considered the martial arts evaluation in a few days, since he had made an agreement with Zhu Youzhen, he was forced to leave the barracks at this time, so how to take revenge when the gun was tested.

After listening to Daniel Zhang's words, Zhang Zhi said urgently: "General, I ask for a hundred military sticks, but please don't let me leave the barracks." ”

Daniel Zhang listened to Zhang Zhiji's words and was angry in his heart, I don't even want a face for your future future, you still can't see the situation clearly, confess your guilt is simple, you are so bad and defend two sentences I will give you a crime. At this time, Daniel Zhang was angry and shouted outside: "Presumptuous, how can military law allow you to bargain?" Come on, pull them all out for me. ”

Then a few people came in and brought Zhang Zhiji and Liu Cheng and Shi Fuxing together, Liu Cheng wanted to speak again, but it was too late.

After a while, the sound of several people being tortured was heard outside.

At first, the three of them could grit their teeth and endure as much as possible not to shout, but after ten sticks, they couldn't help even gritting their teeth, and they all screamed out in pain.

The person who enforces the military law knows that Zhang Zhiji has a close relationship with the deputy general, and he is still the only son of the governor, and he often sees him talking on weekdays, so he put a little water in the execution, otherwise he will inevitably break his legs when the forty military sticks come down, but even so, it is inevitable that he will not be able to get out of bed for a few days.

Liu Cheng suffered less, and after the fight, he could barely leave with the support of people, and Shi Fuxing was carried away by someone after receiving thirty military sticks.

Needless to say, Zhang Zhiji's buttocks had already been beaten open, and his clothes outside were soaked with blood.

After the people of the Shenji camp left, Daniel Zhang ordered outside the tent: "Carry him in for me." ”

Then several pro-soldiers carried Zhang Zhiji, who was humming and chirping in pain, in and put him on the ground.

Daniel Zhang walked up to Zhang Zhiji and squatted down to look at Zhang Zhiji and said, "Now you know that it hurts?" ”

Zhang Zhiji gritted his teeth and endured the pain and pleaded with Daniel Zhang: "Uncle Yong, can you not let me go?" ”

Daniel Zhang said: "You have caused such a big disaster, but it is already light to take forty military sticks, and you have also seen the situation today, don't you go?" You don't want to think about it, these forty military sticks are still merciful to their subordinates, if a hundred military sticks go down, you can still stay in the barracks alive? ”

"But...... But ......"

"Don't do it, now you regret it, why did you go earlier? If you dare to put any sin on you, and if anyone pushes everything on you, you won't refute it? This time it's a lesson, go home and recuperate. Daniel Zhang rubbed Zhang Zhiji's head dotingly, and then instructed his own soldiers: "You personally send him to the Governor's Mansion, if anything goes wrong, I will ask you." ”
