Chapter 304: People's Minds Change

Chapter 304

Chinese New Year's Eve, but the barracks have not completely relaxed, according to Yang Shangjing's orders, although some major physical exercises have been revoked, but simple queue drills still have to be maintained, after all, these so-called "soldiers" are still too immature, there is no military discipline to speak of, except for age, there is nothing that Yang Shangjing can see.

"Everybody obey, turn right!"

Xu Shangyong roared angrily, and in an instant, the sound of the soles of the feet rubbing against the ground came from the newly built school field, although it was still a little messy, but on the whole, it was passable, although some people were still half a beat slower, but at least no one could tell the difference between left and right, it was obvious that the whip education set by Yang Shangjing was still very effective.

Xu Shangyong looked at the army in front of him and sighed secretly, of course he could see that the army in front of him, although it was still immature compared to the elites of Nanzhili, there was not much murder, and it seemed very weak, but the starting point of this army was much higher than those so-called elites.

The four words "order and prohibit" are easy to say, but how difficult are they to do? Looking at how many tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people were brought by the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, but in fact, there were only a few thousand, or even just a few hundred, of the northern minorities such as the Tatars and Warats.

Subconsciously raised his head and looked at Huangyan County in the south, Xu Shangyong's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of helplessness and regret, the court game is not tolerated, for the interests of the entire foreign dynasty, let alone sacrificing a Yang Shangjing, that is, bringing out a high-ranking official such as the deputy capital Yushi, they have no room for resistance, Yang Shangjing, no matter how talented he is, he is just a chess piece with a key position.

Shaking his head slightly, dispelling the thoughts in his mind, Xu Shangyong turned around, pointed to his right side with his finger, and shouted loudly: "Order forbidden, order forbidden!" Not to mention the official, even Yang Langzhong has told you how many times, but why do people always want to challenge the military order? ”

Shaking his head, Xu Shangyong scolded loudly: "Don't say anything to this official that today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the New Year is about to be, if the Wukou come ashore and come to carry out a surprise attack, will they let you finish eating, and then pick up the knife and fight with them?" ”

Some soldiers with some resentment on their faces slowly lowered their heads, one or two didn't know what they were thinking, Xu Shangyong sneered, and then said: "Prevention is better than prevention, this is what we need to do, otherwise the court will raise you and let you eat the best military food and get the most adequate food and salary, what is it for?" Fattened up and killed to sell meat?! ”

After a pause, Xu Shangyong narrowed his eyes, turned around half a circle on the high platform, and then said slowly: "The official knows that some of you will definitely disagree in your hearts, but in the barracks, the military order is the largest, and those who are not satisfied have to be held back by the official, because ...... Military law is ruthless! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw four soldiers of the Xu family walking up with two people, and they fell directly to the ground, stripped off their clothes and hung on the pillar on the side.

Xu Shangyong knows that he needs to establish authority now, because the establishment of prestige is definitely not something that can be completed overnight, it is accumulated through various factors such as the accumulation of peacetime and the command of the battle, so although Yang Shangjing is okay now, he also has to hurry up.

According to the promotion trajectory planned for him by Wei Guogong, if the war against the Japanese along the coast continues smoothly, he will be promoted to a thousand households within a year or two, that is, the patrol of the Yamen of the Prepared Japanese Yamen, and before Yang Shangjing was not sold, it is nothing if he does not deliberately accumulate his prestige, after all, Yang Shangjing is about to become his brother-in-law.

But now it's different, Yang Shangjing was sold to the head, within a year or two, eighty percent of the people may want to fall to the ground, in order to appease the emperor's anger, after all, the current name is orthodox, in fact, he is also orthodox, there is not the slightest flaw in law and blood, and the foreign dynasty does not have the ability to set up a new monarch, and now in the letter to him from Wei Guogong, although he only mentioned a sentence "marriage is suspended", he can also smell a different taste.

Therefore, he must establish his authority as soon as possible, such an army must be grasped in his own hands as much as possible, and now is the opportunity, an opportunity that Yang Shangjing handed over to him.

While thinking about it, Xu Shangyong said: "The official only said, among you people, there must be more than two of them who are disgruntled, but who made the two of them unlucky?" No one can afford this charge of cholera. ”

The two hanging soldiers trembled, and although they were dark-skinned and had the characteristics of coastal fishermen and peasants, they were not as strong as they were, and of course, the reason for the trembling was definitely not only fear, as could be seen from the frightened eyes of them.

"Someone!" Xu Shangyong shouted, and saw Xu Minying striding up from the stage, and nodded to the ground on one knee: "Go down Xu Minying, I have seen the general flag." ”

"Whip twenty, beat!" Xu Shangyong roared angrily, Xu Minying said loudly, stood up, pulled out the whip from his waist, and waved it at the two unlucky eggs, the whip was to the flesh, and the blood flew on the entire high platform in an instant, obviously, Xu Minying did not spare his hands too much.

Below, several officers with hundreds of official positions looked at Xu Shangyong, their eyes were a little complicated, according to their rank, they were higher than Xu Shangyong, but the other party was the son of Wei Guogong, don't say that it was them, it was an ordinary commander, and they had to be polite and give three points, not to mention that when Yang Shangjing left, he explicitly ordered the military to be controlled by Xu Shangyong.

In the distance, Yang Shangjing also looked at Daxi here with a complicated expression, although he couldn't see the blood splashing on the high platform clearly with his eyesight, he also knew what it meant.

Blood red, in addition to festivity, also means...... Unknown.

"The human heart is ...... Thinking about change. Yang Shangjing let out a long sigh.

Uncle Zhong shook his head and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, do you want to go back to Huangyan County?" ”

Yang Shangjing showed a strange smile on his face and shook his head: "Since you are here, you naturally have to finish the matter and then talk about it, start and finish." ”
