"Ah~" Shan Chang screamed and shouted: "The general spares his life"

Li Yan ignored it, but Xiong Zhizhou persuaded: "General Li, you just came here today, it is better to punish you a little." ”

Li Yan still stood, his face stiffened and he didn't say anything.

With the sound of "pop" and "pop" hitting the flesh with water and fire sticks, the screams of Shan Chang became faint, and bright red blood stains had been printed on the buttocks.

With a "click", a pro-soldier's water and fire stick broke off in response. But the soldiers did not stop, changed to a water and fire stick, and continued the execution.

"Spare your life~, spare your life~" The sound of the single begging for mercy became weaker and weaker.

Without Li Yan's order, the execution continued. Sun Sifu was in charge of counting, and several other pro-soldiers took turns beating with military sticks.

Shan Chang's moaning suddenly stopped, Sun Sifu stepped forward to check it, and reported in a low voice: "General, it's dead." ”

"Enough of the sticks?" Li Yan asked coldly.

Sun Sifu didn't say much, and immediately ordered to continue fighting. There were three heavy blows of "pop", "pop", and "pop", and then he reported loudly: "General, the execution is over." Mr. Shan Qian has died of exhaustion."

Li Yan frowned and said, "So unbeaten? Alright, drag it out. After that, he bowed his hand to Xiong Zhizhou and said: "Xiong Zhizhou, the military affairs have been dealt with, let's start." ”

The corners of Xiong Zhizhou's mouth twitched, and he said in a panic: "Oh, okay, okay, let's start." ”

The gentry and officials who accompanied them were all silent and frightened. Only Li Yan ate this meal well, and everyone else stopped after moving two chopsticks at will, eagerly hoping that this banquet would end soon.

After Li Yan was full, everyone else watched, waiting for Zhizhou to quickly announce the disbandment. But they were all afraid, and they just ate empty wages, and they beat people to death. Moreover, the person is already dead, but the punishment that should be suffered will continue to be ended, which makes them especially disgusted and afraid, and the hesitation to whip the corpse is just as angry and terrifying.

Xiong Zhizhou finally reacted, stood up, and was about to say a few words to end this unpleasant banquet. But he was stopped by Li Yan.

Li Yan raised his hand and said, "Xiong Zhizhou, while everyone is here, let's order a little bit of the number together." ”

"This is a matter of military preparation and military clearance, and this official still doesn't interfere." Xiong Zhizhou hurriedly excused himself.

Li Yan smiled faintly and said, "Anyway, Xiong Zhizhou will report it, so let's just name it together, isn't it simple?" ”

"This, this~" Xiong Zhizhou was very embarrassed. He really didn't expect that this Li Yan would be so domineering. He is struggling in his heart now, and he can't make up his mind whether to maintain the dignity of civil officials and severely reprimand Li Yan. But thinking that Mr. Li Qian was executed to death just now, he didn't dare to speak again.

Li Yan ordered: "Okay, let's start the inspection." ”

His soldiers numbered more than six hundred, half of them were left to defend the city, and the rest were brought here. In fact, it is also to prevent the resistance of these soldiers, after all, they have just killed their Qianzong.

The soldiers took the roster they found and took the roll call, and those who were named were taken to the other side to take care of them.

After two quarters of an hour, the roll call was finally finished. But strange things happened, and more than sixty people were left unnamed.

Li Yan went over and asked loudly, "Are you soldiers?" Why is there no registration? ”

A soldier stood up and replied: "The city defense is tight, we were temporarily recruited, and we are not included in the army. General, Mr. Shan Qian promised that when the reinforcements came, he would let us go back and give us four buckets of food each. General, should we give us food now? ”

Li Yan looked at Xiong Zhizhou, who was standing next to him.

Xiong Zhizhou immediately said: "This official just took office last year, and he is not very familiar with the affairs of the state. ”

"Gentlemen," Li Yan arched his hand and said, "There are just a few strong people, and there is not much food, so please spend a dollar or two." ”

Ye Juren and the others all looked at each other, and they were all silently calculating in their hearts, but it was only more than 20 stones, so they all agreed to come down. As for giving less or not giving at all, they don't have that idea yet. One is that there are really not many, and once a few families share it, it is only three or five stones. What's more, this Li Yan really scared them, there is no need to ask for trouble for such a little food.

Li Yan arched his hand and said, "Then thank you in advance." Please bring the food to the barracks, and discuss for yourself how to distribute it to each family. ”

"Well said, well said." Ye Juren and the others were polite.

Xiong Zhizhou hurriedly said: "If the general is to handle military affairs, please move the infantry battalion." After all, this is a state office, which is inconvenient. ”

Li Yan nodded and said to Xiong Zhizhou: "It's okay, Li will take the soldiers to the barracks." After Zhizhou prepared the official document, he informed Li. Today's events, Xiong Zhizhou and the gentry have also seen it, so they should be able to explain it clearly, right? ”

"Tell the truth, no favoritism." Xiong Zhizhou immediately said.

Li Yan nodded. Then he asked the generals outside the yamen, "Which of you has the highest rank?" ”

After waiting for a while, an officer came out, half-knelt and saluted, and said, "Humble Ma Cheng, the general officer." ”

After that, another officer also came out, half-knelt and hugged his fists and said: "Humble Deng Dahu, serve as the commander." ”

Li Yan pointed to Ma Cheng, who was the first to come out, and ordered: "You are responsible for these people, bring them back to the barracks first." ”

"Humble orders" Ma Cheng agreed, and then asked the soldiers to line up and return to the barracks. Those people who had been temporarily found also returned to the barracks, and their food had not yet been received.

After returning to the barracks, Li Yan did not disband the team, but gave a lecture on the school field.

"From today on," Li Yan said loudly, "You all have to be re-trained for ten years, and then you will be divided into two shifts, one team will patrol the streets, inspect the city, and guard the city gates." The other team continues to train, and if any of you don't want to stay in the barracks, you can leave now, and you can leave within ten days. But after ten days, you won't be able to leave if you want to, but don't worry, since you are under my command, you naturally don't have to worry about your salary, I will naturally give you the full amount."

He paused for a moment, then continued: "But since you have been given sufficient food, you must also do things in a solid manner, and if there is a violation of military discipline and military orders, I will not spare lightly, the lightest is a whip, and the heaviest is a military club, until you are beheaded."

At this time, the soldiers already knew that their Qian Zong had been executed to death by this Li Yan. Their Qian Zong was born in martial arts and was good at kung fu, but he only carried twenty-seven military sticks. They're going to have to think about it. But what can they do if they don't eat military pay now? Do you want to be a thief? This Li Yan's reputation is very hard, and the thieves are very jealous of him, and now he goes to the thieves, isn't it self-defeating?

Li Yan waved his hand and ordered: "Disband, go back to the camp and rest, think about it, and start training tomorrow." ”
