Fang Ji jumped off the horse and hugged Yan Ping with great joy, and shouted, "Brother Yan, are you okay?" ”

Yan Ping was inexplicably strange and asked, "What will happen to me?" ”

Fang Ji was stunned and said: "I heard someone screaming in the back camp before, and then there were swords, and then someone came to ......" Fang Ji explained the matter in detail, Yan Ping looked at Qiu Yi who put aside the drum and hammer and shouted: "Ah, I fell for Ye Cun's evil dog thief." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

It turned out that Yan was parallel to the rear camp, and Sima Yecun of the rear army invited Yan Ping to deal with several fugitives in the rear according to the law, and then lied to Yan Ping to watch the actual combat sword drill of the rear soldiers, and dragged Yan Ping to death, not letting Yan Ping leave the rear military headquarters lightly. For the sake of realism, it even occupies most of the camp of the baggage song. Therefore, there was no reaction between the baggage and the Central Protector Army, but the front soldiers were deceived and provoked to anger, which almost caused a catastrophe.

Qiu Yi sighed, that Ye Cun was just a small plan, which made the front soldiers confused, if they really went to the battlefield to fight the enemy, I don't know how many tricks there will be. Qiu Yi clenched his fists and asked: "Yan Junzheng, I pretended to pass on the order of the main general and beat the drum of gathering troops, I don't know what to do with it according to the law?" ”

Yan Ping looked at Qiu Yi with a complicated face, and beckoned again, a pawn suddenly trotted forward, took out a roll of bamboo slips from his back, Yan Ping took it and flipped through it for a while, and said, "Hmm...... Privately beating the drum of the army, it seems that there is no such crime. However, the Han military law has a charge of 'tending', which may be used here. Whoever runs briskly in the army, causing panic and confusion among the soldiers, shall be beheaded. ”

Qiu Yi was stunned for a moment, and said in detail: The war drum is the most important herald tool in an army, and if it is not ordered by the main general, nothing can be beaten, although there is no clear law of beheading, but it is not much worse.

There are many severe punishments in the army, and strict military law is the best means of managing the army. Fighting a war is a job with a head pinned to the waistband of the trousers, and in order for the soldiers not to be afraid of the enemy's sword, it is necessary to use military law to make them understand that disobeying the order is death, and only by obeying the military order can they survive the death, and there are even heavy rewards. Generals must make their soldiers fear themselves more than the enemy or even death, wielding a stick in one hand and holding a radish in the other, which is the way of generals since ancient times.

After explaining for a while, he heard the sound of the soldiers approaching, and Yan Ping hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Qiu Junhou, in order not to be attacked by the Ye clan in front of the county monarch, find out our mistakes, and seize our military power, it is better to reduce the punishment and execute quickly." ”

Qiu Yi hugged his fists and said: "I don't know what kind of commutation of the criminal law? ”

Yan Ping said: "Is it okay to be heavily responsible for forty military sticks." ”

Qiu Yi glanced at the sergeant carrying the military stick under Yan Ping's command, nodded and said, "Okay." With that, he let the four sergeants set up on the wooden horses under the war drums on the side of the point platform, and prepared for execution. It is precisely because of the importance of the war drum that all important criminal laws in the army must be punished under the war drum or at the main gate of the camp. And Sima Yecun of the rear army wanted to deal with the fugitives in the rear camp before, which was also a punishment for violations.

Yan Ping let the executioning sergeant raise the general's stick high so that people could see it from a distance, but when it fell, it was gently or struck on the ground, making a loud sound. Seeing Qiu Yi lying on the ground without saying a word, he hurriedly said: "You should scream a few times, otherwise you will be seen by others." ”

"Uh-oh." Qiu Yi hurriedly responded, but he never seemed to be seriously injured since he was a child, and he didn't know how to scream, and he screamed like a ghost crying wolf. Yan Ping couldn't help but say angrily: "Knock him twice hard, let him learn the sound of screaming." Without waiting for Qiu Yi's forgiveness, under the heavy blow of the two military sticks, Qiu Yi suddenly felt a strange pain into the bone marrow, and the tailbone seemed to be shattered by the jujube wood military stick, and he was finally able to scream correctly.

As the soldiers of various departments under the command of the officers, they successively entered the field of the Central Military Academy, and they all saw Qiu Yi being executed under the drums of war. Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, Yan Ping whispered: "The last ten strokes need to be beaten heavily, so as not to be suspicious of 'others'." ”

Qiu Yi snorted and gritted his teeth, but when the first heavy military stick hit, Qiu Yi's muscles suddenly burst out, his whole body trembled, and his screams intensified. When the second blow fell, Qiu Yi broke out in a cold sweat, and his hands tied to the wooden horse made the wooden horse gurgle. On the third stroke, Qiu Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and the root of his ear had already bitten and was bleeding. By the time the tenth stroke was finished, Qiu Yi was already a little confused.

"Soldier, master." The two screamed and pounced on Qiu Yi, hugging Qiu Yi and crying bitterly. Qiu Yi raised his head slightly and looked at Lu Ping and Cheng Qi in a daze, and smiled hard, "It's okay, it's okay, just rest for a few days." ”

Lu Ping and Cheng Qi had heard Che La's words outside the tent in the camp before, and although they had been prepared in their hearts, they could see the tragic situation of Qiu Yi's lower body covered with wolves and blood, and they still couldn't help crying bitterly. It's like hitting your body, and you feel the same way.

Since the two were a few years old, they were sold into the Qiu family and became Qiu Yi's companions since childhood. Originally, they were slaves, but Qiu Yi never regarded the two as slaves, but as brothers. The three of them eat and sleep together, play and have fun together; Blessings are shared, and disasters are shared. Qiu Yi even retained the original surnames of the two, and did not use Qiu's surname in front of the names of the two. Therefore, the two of them were grateful and swore to accompany each other.

Under the personal protection and care of Lu Ping and Cheng Qi, although Qiu Yi was disgusted by Qiu Qing and persecuted by Qiu Qian, he actually never suffered a big loss, but this time he was the most seriously injured, how could he not make the two of them hate and sad.

Cheng Qi raised his head and glared at Yan Ping fiercely, Yan Ping couldn't help but be surprised by Cheng Qi's fierce gaze, stepped back a few steps, and said softly helplessly: "Forty military sticks, only ten really hits, how can it be better than beheading." ”

Cheng Qi also roared in a low voice: "It's not because of you that the master has suffered this ......."

Yan was about to speak, but when he saw a young handsome officer in his twenties coming slowly, he had to keep silent. The young officer smiled and asked, "Yan Junzheng, what's going on?" What about the county? Isn't the county gentleman in the camp......"

Yan Ping said with a wooden face: "Qiu Yi, the front Jiaqu army, sounded the drum of the main general for no reason, disrupted the military affairs in the camp, and disturbed the generals. The army specially took him down and punished him, and severely punished him with forty military sticks, as a reason of respect. Now that the execution is over, you can come forward and see his injuries as a warning. ”

The young officer's mouth cracked and said, "It turns out that this is the former subordinate of Sima of this army, what kind of son-in-law Qiu Yi." Privately beating the drum of the main general? This isn't like the work of the famous, gutless slut! However, privately knocking on the main general's drum...... This seems to be a capital crime, how can it be said that the army is only heavily punished with forty military sticks? Is there a heart for cover-up in private? ”

Qiu Yijian looked up at the young officer, who had a seven-foot figure, a bee waist and ape arms, a white face and white teeth, and decent clothing, a good personable son of a scholar. I don't know if he is Ye Cun of the Ye family?

The power of the Nanyang Ye clan is already strong, but they have resorted to schemes against people like Zhu and Qiu, who are from businessmen, although they don't know the reason, but they are also ugly. Where is it like people often say that a good man is more greedy and shameless than a profiteer like Zhu, who buys and sells high.

Yan Ping glanced at the young officer and sneered: "This army is investigating the Han military law, and there is no charge of selfishly beating the drum of the main general to gather troops. The army still thinks that the punishment is too severe. ”

The young officer was amazed and said: "I see, when Sima of the army has nothing to do another day, he will also come to beat the drum of the main general to gather troops, and also come to play the trick of the princes of the beacon fire show, anyway, the punishment is not heavy." ”

Yan Ping sneered: "Ye Jun Sima can try, tonight this army is looking for the county monarch to make up for this article in the county's military law, Ye Jun Sima is just here to be the first person to try the law." ”

The young officer was indeed Ye Cun of the Ye family, Ye Cun smiled lightly and said, "That's it, then forget it." Since it's a foolish person beating the drum indiscriminately, it's not a big deal. Disperse, yott. ”

Yan Ping said: "Not yet. The army is newly established, and all the soldiers do not know the military law, do not know how to advance or retreat, and it is very easy to violate the military law. As a law enforcement officer of the First Army, this army had to teach all the officers and men first, and reluctantly violated the military law in the future, saying that the army was punishing them for not teaching, and the crime was too great. ”

Ye Cunqi said: "Oh, Yan Jun is about to take the opportunity to read the Han military law to the whole army? ”

Yan Ping nodded and said: "Yes, the main business of this army is to preach the Han military law to the whole army and carry out the military law punishment." I happened to be free today, so I took the opportunity to read out the Han military law. ”

After that, Yan Ping climbed onto the platform, took out the bamboo slips, cleared his throat again, and read the Han military law to the soldiers who had gathered. Yan Ping preached, and the sergeants standing behind him repeated it in unison. "Han military law, first, the door and those who have a ban are not ordered, and those who have nothing to do must pay attention to them, and those who do not obey the order are killed. 2. If you stop and obey the officials, you will be beheaded......"

At this time, Qiu Yifang gradually sobered up, but he didn't move, just crawled on the wooden horse and quietly listened to Yan Ping preach the Han military law. It's good not to smell it, but I feel shocked when I smell it. In the Han military law, there are more than a dozen kinds of beheading punishment alone, and there are dozens of criminal laws such as military sticks, leather whips, and ear irrigations, and almost a small mistake is a big punishment.

It seems that it is really not easy to join the army, I remember that Che La said before: Those who punish are so Ming Wu, kill one person and the three armies are shocked, kill them. Kill one person and all people are happy, kill him. The killing is expensive, the reward is small, and it should be killed, although it is valuable, it will be killed, and it is a punishment. Those who appreciate cows and horses are also rewarding the indecent. The husband can punish the upper and lower classes, and this general is also martial, so the master is the general.

It turned out that the reason why the Han army's combat power was strong for hundreds of years was all constrained by such a harsh Han military discipline. Qiu Yi shook his head, still a little untrustworthy. I remember who once said a joke, and I don't know who said, "The ministers who are good at using soldiers can kill half of the soldiers, then kill the thirteenth, and the eleventh of the subordinates...... If you don't want to kill soldiers, you can kill soldiers, more than half of the dead and wounded, morale remains the same, and the military is also used. ”

If you haven't killed the enemy, you will kill yourself first, and more than half of the soldiers will be killed...... This is completely inconsistent with the army in the dream. Maybe I can get the Dharma because of my dreams and walk an inconsistent path of leading the troops.
