Chapter Ninety-Four: Military Law Is Like a Mountain
The road in front of him is all chosen by himself, Jia Changchao, as a good teacher, will only guide Xu Deshan's behavior, and will not hinder Xu Deshan's choice, seeing that Xu Deshan's mind has been decided, he immediately asked someone to lead out the fast horse, and asked the guard Zhou Di to take Xu Deshan and run all the way to catch up with Ming Hao's army.
The Ming Ho army set off at dawn, and it has been gone for a few hours now, even if Xu Deshan is quick to whip his horse, he didn't see the shadow of the team until it was near dusk.
Xu Deshan walked forward again, and suddenly a sharp arrow broke through the air in front of him and shot in front of Xu Deshan's horse, so frightened that Zhou Di, who was the royal horse, hurriedly stopped the reins, stopped the horse, and said angrily, "Who released the arrow!" ”
I saw a person flash in front of me, and asked in a loud voice from afar, "Who is coming?" ”
Xu Deshan knew that this was a scout in the army, and hurriedly replied, "I am Xu Deshan, the councilor, and I have come to see Lord Myeongho." ”
Xu Deshan's name is already well-known in the Daimyo's Mansion, but he was held by Zhou Di right away, not very conspicuous, the scout looked carefully, and sure enough, it was Xu Deshan, so he said, "Xu Langjun, please, where the duty is, there is a lot of offense, and I hope to forgive the sin." ”
After the scout finished speaking, he gave a salute from afar, Xu Deshan returned the salute, and then went straight to the Chinese army, which was closer, but found that this army was a little peculiar, usually marching, at most divided into three armies, taking care of each other, but now it is only the Chinese army, it is divided into more than a dozen teams, and then look closely, Xu Deshan will understand, it turns out that these teams are practicing walking in unison according to Xu Deshan's method, and Ming Ho and several generals are riding horses and walking in the middle of the team.
After another check, Xu Deshan entered the team as he wished, and met Ming Ho as he wished.
Ming Ho noticed Xu Deshan from afar, to be honest, now Ming Ho loves and hates Xu Deshan, hates it, obviously said that he would go out together, but you don't come in the morning, and you call yourself a person in vain, and what I like is that this time I went out to lead these thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people to fight against the 20,000 border troops of others, it is completely an act of sending people to death, Xu Deshan is good to say here, if Xu Deshan does not follow, Ming Ho will be more and more bottomless in his heart, and he almost wants the class teacher to go back.
Now seeing Xu Deshan chasing after him, Ming Ho breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but now in the military camp, in full view of everyone, it is different from usually at home, at ordinary times, let you Xu Deshan raise the bar and talk to each other, Ming Ho only treats Xu Deshan as a child, but now in the military camp, there are thousands of people, if there is no upper and lower dignity, laws and regulations, how can the army order to prohibit it, uniformly.
Therefore, Ming Ho pretended not to see Xu Deshan's appearance, and when Xu Deshan was about to get to the horse, he suddenly shouted, "Who is coming, report your name!" ”
Ming Hao's voice, Zhongzheng was majestic, and the generals and sergeants around him couldn't help but turn their heads to watch, that Xu Deshan had already guessed that Ming Hao would cut himself, and he was also very calm, who told himself to get up late, if it was Qu, Chen Liang before was the most deserved, such a thing came to his head, there was nothing to say, one word, forbearance.
Xu Deshan turned over and dismounted, knelt down to salute, and said, "Handsome, Xu Deshan, come to report." ”
Ming Ho shouted, "I had an order yesterday, the fourth watch roll call, and then set off, now a day has passed, why haven't you arrived?" ”
In fact, according to Ming Hao's meaning, Xu Deshan is just late, he is so smart, just make up a reason, and then punish him casually, this matter will be over, but he is still waiting for Xu Deshan's strategy to break the enemy, if he really uses military law to beat Xu Deshan, not to mention ten military sticks, his five-year-old body, I am afraid that it will be beaten into a meat patty.
Xu Deshan hesitated, but when he looked up again, he still looked calm, and said, "I drank last night and didn't get up today, so I delayed, my subordinates are guilty, and I ask the marshal to deal with it by military law." ”
Ming Ho originally wanted to scare Xu Deshan, but he was scared by Xu Deshan, you said Xu Deshan, you can make up a reason casually, I also have words to pick it up, but why do you have to tell the truth, yesterday was able to hand over to me to say nonsense, how can it be handed over to you now, you won't use it, what do you let me do now, in front of so many people, do you really want me to beat you with a military stick?
The scene froze like this, not only Ming Ho, but also the generals next to Ming Ho, and the sergeants around him, most of them knew Xu Deshan, everyone knew that Xu Deshan was a popular person around Jia Changchao, and he wanted to remove a defense envoy from his official position in a few words, but now he has not arrived, and there is no reason, but he wants to see what Ming Ho does with him.
The importance of military law is vividly reflected at this moment, if Xu Deshan can escape this punishment, then no matter who Xu Deshan is and how old he is, as long as there is no punishment, then there is no majesty in military law, everyone will think, Xu Deshan can escape punishment, why can't I, between actions, it is inevitable that there will be negligence, even if Ming Ho punishes one more person, but everyone has such a mind, can Ming Ho still punish these people? In that case, Myeongho won't have to fight, and the most important thing is to think about how not to mutiny the army.
For the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of his own face, Myeongho could only grit his teeth and say, "Since you have pleaded guilty, can you admit punishment?" ”
Xu Deshan said: "Admit punishment!" ”
Ming Ho was choked by Xu Deshan, his hand waved three times in mid-air, and he didn't fall, seeing that Xu Deshan was willing to be his own yellow cover and let the punishment look, Ming Ho couldn't bear to start, thought about it again and again, and said, "Since you admit punishment, that's good."
According to the military order of this battalion, you should have been punished with ten strokes of the cane, thinking that you were too young to stand the military stick, I changed the military stick to a horse whip and whipped ten times, are you willing? ”
Xu Deshan said: "Thank you for your love." ”
Ming Ho really has no way to take Xu Deshan, when the matter comes to this point, it won't work if he doesn't beat Xu Deshan, Ming Ho also wants to fight for Xu Deshan a little welfare, and said, "Xu Deshan, come here, there is no whip in the army, I will use my horse whip to beat you." ”
Ming Ho wanted to go through the motions, and he gently pumped Xu Deshan, leaving him a few red marks at most, but Xu Deshan said, "No, where is the commander personally executed, just ask the soldiers in the army to beat me." ”
Okay, whatever you say is what, Ming Ho doesn't plan to save Xu Deshan anymore, so he casually chose someone from the team next to him and said, "You, come and beat him with ten whips." ”
The soldier who was selected was originally watching the excitement, but when he saw Ming Hao's hand designating himself, he suddenly cried and mourned, these days, no one is stupid, everyone knows that Xu Deshan is Xu Langjun, Jia Changchao's beloved apprentice, the most popular boy in the Daimyo Mansion, he made a mistake and was beaten, just look at the excitement, why do you still have your own affairs here, isn't this a fight between immortals, and mortals suffer.
Even if it's a dog, he will hold a grudge if he kicks it, and bite you in turn, not to mention what kind of character Xu Deshan is, the five-product defense envoy, just do what he says, if he beats him, he will hold a grudge in the future, and killing himself is not like pinching a bedbug to death, of course, Xu Deshan can't be compared with a dog, Xu Deshan is much more powerful than a dog.
The soldier trembled, but Ming Ho was pointing at him, where could the soldier not stand up, Ming Ho threw the whip directly in front of the soldier, and said, "Take the whip, hit him ten times, tell him to have a long memory, and if he doesn't obey military orders, this is the end." ”
The soldier cried with a sad face, but he refused to pick up the whip, and Myeongho said angrily, "I told you to beat, it is also a military order, if you don't fight, it is also a violation of the order, there are twenty military sticks waiting for you, you see this can be done." ”
The soldier trembled and said, "My lord, Xu Langjun is just a ......"
Myeongho shouted, "Do you fight or not!" ”
The soldier thought about it again and again, but still picked up the whip on the ground, no way, he could see the military stick, the thickness of his arm, not to mention twenty times, even ten beats on the body, and he would have already beaten his heart, liver, spleen and lungs into meat sauce, where can he still live, hit it, beat Xu Deshan, he may still live for a few days, but if he doesn't fight, his life will be gone now.
Xu Deshan saw that he took off his shirt, only to see that this young man should have been the age of thin skin and human flesh, but now on his arms and shoulders, there is a faint shape of muscles, so that people can see it, and they can immediately think of the word "wide shoulders and thick back".
Xu Deshan didn't say a word, turned around, turned his back to the soldier, the soldier gestured, he really didn't know how to start, and asked, "This, how to fight." ”
"How to fight, how to fight." Myeongho said.
"Hit ...... What? The soldier hesitated.
Myeongho thought for a while and said, "You can beat as you like, but if you don't see blood after the fight, I will whip you with this whip!" ”
The soldier had no choice, he had never beaten someone with braids, and in the face of a child, he couldn't do it, and after thinking about it for a long time, the first whip was blown, and the whip brushed Xu Deshan's back like a tickle, not to mention blood, not even red.
The soldier was dumbfounded, if it goes on like this, Xu Deshan is not in pain, but he is going to be unlucky, don't you see that Lord Ming is glaring at him fiercely, thinking of this, the soldier's subordinates increased their strength and hit him with a fierce whip.
This whip is much more ruthless, hitting Xu Deshan's back, it is a bruise in an instant, Ming Ho gritted his teeth on the side and shouted, "Okay, hit well, just beat like this, the next few whips, if it is lighter than this whip, I will also beat you with a military stick." ”
This person is strange, after beating Xu Deshan, the soldier's courage suddenly became a lot bigger, thinking that he would fight once, and he would fight twice, and he would fight by himself, so he hit a few more times, and after these few hits, the soldier found that beating people was an addictive sport.
Look at Xu Deshan again, since the first whip, his face has turned purple, and he stood on the ground forbearingly, motionless, and after the remaining whips, Xu Deshan's back was already full of flesh and blood, and he couldn't see the original appearance, compared with the white and tender skin in other places, people couldn't bear to look at it directly.
If it is an adult, if it is whipped, no matter what it looks like, it can still be accepted, but if a child is beaten, it will make people unbearable, and in the army, the people watching will look sideways and can't bear to look directly.
Xu Deshan counted the beatings he had received in his heart, and after ten strokes, there was no movement behind him, Xu Deshan turned around, and his face was already hideous, and his eyes were cracked.
Xu Deshan's eyes were fierce, he glared at the thousands of soldiers in front of him, and said loudly, "You remember, you beat me today, don't let me catch the opportunity to beat you, if you ask me to do it, I will hit it much heavier than this!" ”
After Xu Deshan finished speaking, he roared, and then, he fainted to the ground, Zhou Di hurriedly ran over, helped Xu Deshan well, and took out the gold sore medicine he carried with him and put it on Xu Deshan.
Now it's okay, Xu Deshan finally arrived here, and he was beaten for his prestige, and now he faints, and he can't go, right
It was getting late, so Myeongho ordered to camp on the spot, rest tonight, and move forward again tomorrow.
Next, it was another busy scene, but this has nothing to do with Xu Deshan, people who fainted in the past will not know what happened around them, and when Xu Deshan woke up the next day, Xu Deshan was already sitting on Zhou Di's horse again.
Zhou Di, at first glance, is from the rivers and lakes, super high martial arts, a sword, kills people for thousands of miles without staying, and has a strong sense of responsibility, as long as it is something that has been said, he has always been responsible for it to the end, except for some people who don't like to talk, the other places are simply perfect, and then I feel the injury behind him, and I don't know what medicine Zhou Di gave him, only one night later, and now his back is already obsessed, but it is only a little painful.
Xu Deshan opened his eyes, looked around first, and suddenly found that the teams around him walked much more neatly, and the soldiers did not smile one by one, obviously the discipline has been further strengthened.
Thinking of this, Xu Deshan saw that it seemed to be Wei Huang's back in front of him, so he asked Zhou Di to pat his horse to catch up, and at a glance, it was Wei Huang who was inspecting the training of the troops, Xu Deshan stepped forward and said, "General Wei, is the training good?" ”
Wei Huang saw that it was Xu Deshan coming, and clasped his fists and saluted, "It turned out to be Xu Langjun, is the injury better?" ”
Xu Deshan said, "A small injury is nothing, I think that between the march of the army now, it has been quite effective, and General Wei has worked hard." ”
Wei Huang said, "Where is it, it is still the credit of Xu Langjun yesterday." ”
Xu Deshan said politely, "Bitter meat plan, bitter meat plan, it's not worth mentioning." ”
Wei Huang said, "Bitter meat plan? I didn't see it, but Xu Langjun's last two curses were really terrible, and they scared these soldiers into being obedient one by one, for fear that you would catch them and whip them. ”
"......, my back hurts, Zhou Di, help me rest for a while." Xu Deshan said with a bitter face.
The Daimyo's Mansion was five days away from Beishu City, and after two days of walking, the army's march began to be much more cautious, and the formation began to shrink after a certain effect, becoming a normal marching real formation, and the scouts were twice as many as in previous days.
In this way, he walked for a long time, Xu Deshan was crumbling on the horse, and suddenly there was a whistle in front, and the surrounding sergeants immediately became nervous, and a person ran from a distance, and after three checks, he came to the front of Ming Hao, Shi Li said, "Report to the marshal, the whereabouts of the rebels have been found in front." ”
Myeongho couldn't help but get nervous, and hurriedly asked, "What are the rebels doing?" ”
The spy reported: "There is a village in front, and when I waited to go over, I heard a riot somewhere, and when I went over, I just found that it was the rebels who came here to kill people and steal food, and I didn't dare to disturb them, so I came back to report to the commander." ”
Ming Ho said, "Okay, come here, assemble the team, and approach forward." ”
As soon as the general was about to get the order, Xu Deshan's voice came from behind, "Dashuai, I don't know what you are going to do when you assemble the team?" ”
Ming Ho said, "According to your train of thought, isn't our purpose this time to compress the rebels' activity space and drive them into Beizhou City?" ”
Xu Deshan said impatiently, "What to rush, aren't you afraid that you can't beat it, this is just their army grabbing food, what is there to be afraid of, tell me to say, let's cover up and kill together and eliminate this group of rebels." ”
Ming Ho hurriedly whispered, "Even if it is a small group of enemies, the power should not be underestimated, these soldiers of ours have not seen blood, don't catch the rabbit, let the enemy see the flaws, when the time comes, they gather troops, and they will rush up, we will become a delicacy for others." ”
Xu Deshan said, "That's it, you also know that if the enemy sees our reality and reality, we won't be able to beat them, so if we don't take advantage of the fact that they are few now, and beat them to be afraid, how can we force people into Beizhou City." ”
Ming Ho said, "Then let's fight, what will we fight?" ”
Xu Deshan said as a matter of course: "Of course, use your five hundred elites to fight." ”
Ming Ho had a pain in his flesh, these five hundred people, but Xu Deshan pressed the treasures at the bottom of the box, not only were they all elite, but before this expedition, Ming Ho transferred a new stainless steel ordnance armor in the library to equip these five hundred people, originally, Ming Ho wanted to treat these five hundred people as his own escort team, but he didn't think about it, Xu Deshan directly used them as a death squad.
Alas, death is death, their own future and life, all in the result of this war, after this war, either lose their official position, or be promoted to the Privy Council, there is no third choice, and these people, since they have taken their own money, they must have the consciousness of death, Ming Ho nodded and said, "Okay, Wei Huang, you take someone to kill us to make a prestige, you must win." ”
Wei Huang had been waiting for Ming Hao's words for a long time, and immediately agreed, leading the five hundred elites to rush forward, while Xu Deshan shouted behind him, "Brothers, you Xuanyi and Qianning rebelled, but there are a lot of generals and captains vacated, who can be a general, who can be a captain, but it depends on how this battle goes, you work hard, and the merit book of Lord Ming will not be stingy and write your names!" ”
Ming Ho spurted out a mouthful of old blood again, Xu Deshan, can you still have a face, yesterday I said that money was vulgar, but today, I will use my official position to tempt others, well, this look, quite the style of my youth.
