Under Shi Lang's supervision, Shi Fu found two water division commanders, ten thousand households, and announced the military order to surrender to Fang Yuan immediately.

These commanders and thousands of households looked at each other, and a day ago they said that they were going to rebel because of Shi Fu, but now everyone is on the boat, and Shi Fu is going to surrender again, isn't this putting all the brothers to death? None of the middle and senior officers present were willing to surrender!

Shi Lang saw that everyone still wanted to resist, and said sharply, "The regent heavenly soldiers have arrived, do you think that you can resist stubbornly with one artillery mothership formation?" It's a joke! ”

"I ask you, where do the materials for the maintenance of the artillery carriers you think you rely on come from? Where did the steel frame iron plate come from? Where does the glue come from? If you don't repair it for a year, how long will your artillery carrier last?! ”

The officers were silent, Shi Lang's words were in one sentence, these materials were all provided by Fang Yuan's special personnel, and with the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty, they could not be imitated at all. If it is not repaired, this artillery carrier will only last for a year or two at most before it will be abandoned.

A commander is still unconvinced, "It's all reversed, where is there a way to live?" Left and right is a death, and we will not stand still! ”

Shi Fu sighed and said, "I bear the sin of this rebellion alone, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

Shi Lang also said in a deep voice, "As long as you don't resist stubbornly and surrender to the regent, today's words will only enter my ears, and will never reach the ears of the regent." ”

The officers couldn't beat them, and they were cornered. Since the blessing is willing to be borne by one person, what else do they have to say?

The two sailors and ten thousand households knelt down in unison and chose to surrender.

Shi Lang ordered Shi Fu and the two sailor commanders to bare their upper bodies, carry the thorn strip, get on the battleship, and plead guilty to Fang Yuan.

The remaining 1,000 households of officials and above were detained in the barracks under the control of Hao Shaoqi's special operations army, awaiting disposal.

Less than half a day after Shi Lang came out, he brought Shi Fu and other rebellious officers to the battleship, and a war disaster on the bow was eliminated, Fang Yuan was very satisfied, and praised Shi Lang, "Old Five, good, very good!" You have made a great contribution, and then you will seal 1,000 acres of land in Suzhou Mansion. ”

Shi Lang thanked him and said, "Boss, the Shi family has committed a heinous crime, and it is a blessing that the boss does not hold me accountable for my mistakes, and I will never dare to ask for a reward again." ”

Fang Yuan looked at Shi Fu, who was prostrate on the ground, not daring to speak, for these rebellious officers, Fang Yuan was angry and lamented their misfortune, and said coldly, "Commander Shi, what kind of official are you under Zheng Zhilong?" What kind of officials are under me? ”

Shi Fu said in a trembling voice, "Lord Regent, I am the commander of the sixth-rank sailor under Zheng Zhilong, and under the regent, I am the second-rank sailor commander. ”

Fang Yuan said slowly, "I'm not thin on you!" It has given you military power in the Fujian-Guangzhou region and has never interfered in the affairs of your Southern Military Region, so why should you oppose it? On the contrary, you can still send troops to the north and swallow the entire south?! ”

Shi Fu shook his head again and again, and truthfully confessed the capital crime he had committed.

Fang Yuan listened attentively to Shi Fu's confession, and finally understood the reason for their rebellion, it was not that they had much ambition, they wanted to establish themselves as kings, and even split Fujian and Guangzhou. Instead, with a serious case in his body, he was afraid of the harsh national law that Fang Yuan was implementing, so he could only take a risk and choose to rebel.

If it was another minor crime, Fang Yuan would have turned a blind eye and passed it. The case of rape and murder of hundreds of people and the death of hundreds of people is a heinous crime in all dynasties!

Fang Yuan was so angry that he trembled all over, and said sharply, "Shi Fu, you dare to take hundreds of lives?!" It's so lawless, how can I forgive you?! ”

Shi Fu lowered his head and said, "Regent, these people are not good people, but smuggling syndicates!" ”

Fang Yuan said coldly, "What smuggling group?!" Be clear! ”

Shi Fu knelt in front of him, and cried out with tears in his eyes, "The regent doesn't know that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people! In Fujian and Guangzhou, all the people in each village are involved in armed smuggling, deceiving the government, resisting pursuit, and running rampant. These villages are armed with men, women and children, and each village is home to at least a mob of hundreds of people. The officials of the government did not dare to enter the village to arrest people, so they could only ask the army to suppress it. These Diao people even dare to resist the army, and they can't help but kill! ”

"These people, when facing the government and the army, are as lawless as wolves; When it was really suppressed, he changed into another face and became a bullied people, shouting that he wanted to go to Fengyang to file a lawsuit. ”

"Regent, should this kind of Diao people be killed, should they be arrested?!"

Fang Yuan was silent when he heard this, and what Shi Fu said was true. Before the crossing, in some areas of Guangdong, there were group crimes organized by blood ties and villages, drug trafficking, fraud, and trafficking in women and children, and the police could not enter the villages when they went, and they could not take the criminals away from the villages.

After being really suppressed by the government, they began to organize water armies to shout grievances on the Internet, pretending to be innocent one by one, and creating public opinion pressure.

In Fang Yuan's opinion, these group criminals are really damned! Although Shi Fu's army suppressed it more brutally, and even committed the crime of adultery afterwards, it was not a crime to death! As Wu Zhiping said before, if you blindly indulge the people and suppress the government and the army, then who dares to really enforce the law impartially, and everyone in the army and officials will be ostriches. Anyway, more is better than less, and it is impossible for these mobs to bully officials and officers, but only to bully some weaker people.

Fang Yuan looked at Shi Lang and asked, "Old Five, you have interrogated, is this the truth?!" ”

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes, boss, the other commanders, together with the ten thousand households captured, all confessed like this. ”

Fang Yuan sighed deeply, and suddenly realized that he had made an oversight, a fatal one.

That is to say, the management of the armed forces is different from the management of the civilian population, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. The army is a very special place, it is a gathering place for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of hot-blooded men.

Such a special group, if they are required to have a bloody and wolf nature, then they are a group with a high incidence of crimes, even if the military discipline is good, it is impossible not to violate the law and discipline.

If they are deprived of their wolf nature and governed according to normal laws and moral standards, this kind of army without wolf nature will have an egg on the battlefield?

These soldiers can't be asked to be like sheep in peacetime, and they must become wolves when they go to the battlefield, which is too difficult for strong people.

Before the crossing, the U.S. military also caused trouble everywhere in various countries, but it would never accept the trial of normal law.

The common practice in ancient and modern China and abroad is to set up special military laws, and there are also military courts to try military personnel who violate law and discipline.

Fang Yuan's fatal mistake was to take it for granted, extending the power of the Judicial Governor's Office to the army, which made these soldiers feel a sense of precarious crisis, and it was strange that they did not rebel.

The army must have the rules of the army!

Fang Yuan slowly got up, helped Shi Fu up, and the two sailor commanders untied all the thorns on their bodies, and said with a pleasant face, "Admiral Shi, get up!" Although your repression is too harsh, it is excusable, and the crime will not lead to death, and if I were to replace you, I would have suppressed it in the same way. You're all reinstated, and that's the end of this incident! ”

"From now on, the Governor's Office of Justice will no longer try cases against the military. The cases of the military, the soldiers who violated the law and discipline, were tried and convicted by the military court within the military! ”

Shi Fu was overjoyed when he saw that he not only opened the net this time, but even lifted a tight spell on the army's head, and kowtowed to Fang Yuan to thank him.
