Thousands of Chu officers and soldiers knelt on the ground and begged for their lives, but with an irresistible might, Wan Yuanji's face turned pale, and he involuntarily took two steps back, exerting all his strength to hold down the two disobedient feet, so as not to make a greater ugliness.

Tang Laihe also changed color: Is this going to cause chaos? No, it's not like, although the soldiers of the Chu army are excited, they still maintain a strict order, thousands of people kneeling on the hillside, the neat formation is clearly visible, no one moves, because of restraint, but more powerful.

In the eyes of civil officials and doctors, the generals are all vulgar martial artists, who do not know the righteousness and shame, and ordinary soldiers are even more ignorant and barbaric, just eagle dogs raised by the imperial court, and they don't need to be treated as human beings, but the officers and soldiers of Chu have such strong feelings, such a strong sense of self-awareness, self-esteem, self-confidence, and the courage to dare to resist authority, which makes Tang Laihe and Wan Yuanji feel extremely frightened.

"The people may make it to themselves, but they cannot know it." This is the belief that the feudal scholars have been upholding for thousands of years, and it is regarded as a guideline, Wang Kefan set up a school in Huguang and opened up the people's wisdom, they have heard of it for a long time, and they have always disagreed with it, and today they finally feel great fear when they see such a Chu army with their own spirit.

Fear! It's fear from the bottom of my bones! Tang Laihe's heart was shocked, Wan Yuanji's hands and feet were sore, they couldn't imagine that if the 100,000 Chu army were all such spirits, who could control this army except Wang Kefan? If the 100,000 Chu army is no longer willing to be eagle dogs, unites to protect their own interests, and even joins the ruling class, it will have a great impact on the ruling model of the Longwu court.

"Scholars and the Son of Heaven rule the world together" was the most basic political structure of the Ming Dynasty, and the status of military generals rose in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. But it did not fundamentally change this model until the rise of the Chuxun group represented by Wang Kefan. It had a real impact on this model, so the civilian-official group formed an alliance with Emperor Longwu. Suppress Wang Kefan...... If you just fight with Wang Kefan alone, there is nothing to be afraid of, if you really can't beat him, it is better to treat him as an ancestor, I am afraid that the army and warriors will no longer be willing to be eagles and dogs, and they will join the ruling class and completely change the model of "scholars and doctors rule the world together with the Son of Heaven", which made Tang Laihe and Wan Yuan Ji feel deep fear from their bones.

An eagle dog should be an eagle dog. Give two bones should be satisfied, although the abnormality of the Chu army is only the tip of the iceberg, it faintly shows the signs of a fierce monster, and the previous officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are completely different, is Wang Kefan crazy? What does he want to do with the army like this?

Tang Laihe's heart was like lightning, and he had already thought that this was probably the real reason why the Chu army won a hundred battles, and the 100,000 Chu army was not an eagle dog, but a hundred thousand warriors with loyal beliefs and integrity. in order to defeat the invincible Eight Banners in the world. In addition to the shock and panic, a strange thought flashed in Tang Laihe's mind, no wonder Wang Kefan always called soldiers soldiers, he wanted to turn all the 100,000 Chu troops into "soldiers". He became a samurai with a sword and a spear, and he was on a par with a scribe who reads......

In addition to the army, there are also people.

Immediately after the officers and soldiers of Chu. The people watching the ceremony clamored one after another, kneeling down one by one to ask Wang Kefan for his life. Many well-dressed gentry also joined the ranks and brought the entire clan with them to ask for their lives. He complained about the atrocities of the Manchus and demanded that all of them be put to death. Tang Laihe shook his head, his head was a mess like a mess, Jiangnan has always been known for its weak folk customs, but the scene in front of him is very different, a large number of gentry will support the Chu army so much, it is a very bad omen, something must go wrong, sooner or later there will be big trouble.

Wang Kefan stretched out his hand and pressed down, thousands of Chu officers and soldiers immediately stopped shouting, and the onlookers soon quieted down, Wang Kefan's eyes slowly swept over everyone, and said slowly: "The will of the army cannot be violated, the will of the people cannot be betrayed, but the law of the court cannot be lightly wasted, these Tartar soldiers kill or not, listen to me a story first, and then everyone will do it." ”

Storytelling? Which one is this singing? Wan Yuan Ji and Tang Laihe glanced at each other, and an ominous omen was born in their hearts...... The army and the people made such a fuss, killing the hundreds of prisoners of the Eight Banners was to conform to the will of the army and the people, and no one could find fault afterwards, but Wang Kefan just didn't provoke it, obviously to use the topic to play, thinking of his previous habits, he always stabbed the opponent when he was surprised, and today he may have hit the muzzle of the gun again.

"What I want to tell today is the story of the Chu army killing the Tartars, this story has been in my heart for a long time, and it has always been an unsolvable knot, so I will talk to you today." Wang Kefan fell into memories and said slowly: "A month ago, tens of thousands of Qing troops were trapped in Maoshan and launched a fierce attack on our army in order to escape for their lives. Zakana, the nephew of the old slave Nurhachi, fought fiercely with our army's Ji'an battalion for days and days, and was beaten to the point that he lost his armor, so he came up with a poisonous plan, captured hundreds of Ming people, and forced them to go to the battlefield......"

The story told by Wang Kefan is the real battle example that happened on the 177 Heights, he clearly explained the causes and consequences, and did not avoid the fact that some people died under the guns of the Chu army, and told the deeds of Xu Nannan in detail, which caused the surrounding gentry and people to sigh for a while.

This story is so cruel, as soon as I heard it was the truth, my soft-hearted eyes turned red, and I shouted in a straight temper.

"It's no wonder that Chu Jun is here!"

"It's all Tartars who are ruthless!"

"We must kill all the Tartars and avenge the villagers!"

"Xu Nannan is a good example, Wang Junmen should reward him heavily!"

……

"Xu Nannan can't be counted as a martyr because she left the battle, there is no reward, and there is no pension silver." In a burst of excitement and grievances, Wang Kefan continued: "But I thought that when Xu Nannan rushed out, he only thought about saving the people, and he had put life and death aside, and he didn't care about these things behind him, but fortunately, his efforts were not in vain, and he finally saved a child who was still in swaddling clothes, and he was also brought here today." ”

As Wang Kefan beckoned, Gu Zongfu cautiously walked up with the child in his arms, stood in front of the monument and raised his hands suddenly, and the pink doll kept waving his little hands in the air. There was a loud cheer.

"The child's parents are dead, and I don't know what his name is. The national prince has adopted him as a righteous son, and he is still called Xu Nannan. In the future, we will treat it as our own, and we will never live up to the Chu army's will to love the people and protect the people! Wang Kefan took the child from Gu Zongfu's hand, patted his head lovingly, raised his voice suddenly, and said to everyone: "The purpose of the country's public army to go east is to relieve the people from hanging upside down and save the people from fire and water. The so-called military law is ruthless. The military law jointly set by the 100,000 soldiers of the Chu army cannot be violated by the national government without authorization, so today I have to ask all the officers and soldiers of the three armies for a favor and engrave Xu Nannan's name on the memorial to the memorial! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Kefan handed Xiao Xu Nannan to Li Yushi, then bowed down and clasped his fists, and saluted thousands of Chu officers and soldiers.

The onlookers were so excited that they shouted one after another, praising Wang Junmen's benevolence and righteousness. The Chu army is a true army that loves the people. Under the leadership of a group of Chu army generals, thousands of soldiers were terrified, and obeyed Wang Kefan's orders, and Xu Nannan's name was engraved on the monument.

Wang Kefan then spoke. Starting from the birth of the Chu army, to the southern conquest and northern war in these years, the focus is on how to deal with military-civilian relations in various places. It was made clear to the gentry and common people that the Chu army would definitely regard Jiangnan as their hometown. In order to defend the Jiangnan battalion, military discipline was strictly restricted. Never disturb the people and harm the people. Immediately after that, he changed his words and talked about some cases of harassment of the people in the Eastern Crusade, such as when Tu Gao Tongzhi wantonly used lynching and forcibly looted private property in the name of raising food and salary for the Chu army, causing several gentry and merchants to destroy the Jia family, and he will be beheaded today to show the public and correct military justice.

The steel knife was waved, Gao Tongzhi's head was different, the cheers of the onlookers and gentry almost broke through the sky, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were the most hateful, Gao Tongzhi was willing to be a minion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, anyway, after returning to the Ming Dynasty, he was still desperately corrupt, such a corrupt official really deserves to die, and it is not a loss to be cut off...... Seeing Wang Kefan upholding justice, the gentry and the common people became more and more close, and their eyes looking at him were full of admiration and love.

Hearing Wang Kefan pulling farther and farther, Wan Yuanji's heart was pounding, and he panicked for no reason, he vaguely felt that there was a terrible trap in front of him, and a big net had been opened against him, but he didn't know how to dodge and where to run safely.

"Bandits are like combs, soldiers are like glitters, this is not without reason, there are some black sheep in the official army, every time they go out on an expedition, they take the opportunity to harass the people, burn, kill and loot, rape women, and even the bandits who do all kinds of evil are not as good, and the country's public is the commander of the Eastern Expedition, and today we must strictly enforce military discipline and get rid of these scourges!" Wang Kefan paused, and suddenly shouted: "Deng Bin, you are guilty!" ”

Wan Yuanji's knees were weak, and he subconsciously wanted to kneel, but suddenly a hand was stretched out next to him, Tang Laihe helped him in time, and whispered: "Hold steady!" What did Deng Bin do, and why did you lose your temper so much? ”

Wan Yuan Ji finally came back to his senses, Wang Kefan did not attack him directly, but went to his general Deng Bin.

At the beginning of the Battle of Nanchang, Tan Tai fled back to Jiujiang, Li Chengdong and other troops were surrounded, Wan Yuan Ji's Jiangxi army was responsible for guarding the southern line, but Li Chengdong broke through, in order to snatch military merits, his Deng Bin killed Liang and risked his merits, and killed all the people in a village, Wan Yuan Ji took a tacit attitude towards this, did not stop it in advance, and used the power in his hands to cover it up as much as possible afterwards, I thought that no one would know anymore, but I didn't expect to be turned out by Wang Kefan today.

Settle accounts after the fall!

The wolf-like soldiers of the Chu army rushed forward and dragged Deng Bin out of the military generals who were watching the ceremony and pressed him to the ground, Deng Bin shouted again and again that he was wronged, but Quan Xi came out of the crowd and read out an investigation report in public, the incident happened, the names of the people who were killed, the time, and the place were clear, and then more than ten witnesses were brought up, including the people who escaped that night, and the soldiers under Deng Bin, the evidence was conclusive and irrefutable.

"Help! The last general will be wronged, wronged! Deng Bin shouted loudly, desperately asking Wan Yuan Ji for help.

"Wang Kefan, you, you are so insidious, you are actually calculating the old man behind your back, not a gentleman!" Wan Yuan Ji was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Wang Kefan and scolded, and then ran towards Deng Bin, while scolding, he snatched a stick from his hand and hit him with his head and face.

Deng Bin still had a trace of luck, although he was beaten to the head and bleeding, he did not bite Wan Yuanji, but Wan Yuan Ji looked at him coldly, and used all his strength to hit him on the neck, and beat Deng Bin unconscious at that time.

"Ben Du Fu lost his temper for a while, and I ask you to forgive me," he threw down his stick with a loud bang, hugged his fist to the onlookers and said: "Deng Bin is mad, he dares to commit such a heinous crime, he should be punished today and beheaded to show the public, but Ben Du Fu thinks that this case should not be learned in a hurry, and the accomplices behind him must be carefully investigated, and the old man will be ......innocent."

As a scheming feudal official, of course Wan Yuan Ji will not come to do this kind of dirty work in person, on the contrary, this matter was handled by his staff Diao Youmou, and he went around in a circle with Deng Bin, and the thing was done very cleanly, there should be no handle to fall, the reason why Wan Yuan Ji knocked Deng Bin unconscious with a stick was just that he was afraid that he would bite in public, and when the time came, the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, not but and bad his official reputation.

Go back and investigate slowly, as long as Wang Kefan has no conclusive evidence, Wan Yuan Ji plans to die and not admit it, the so-called dead horse is a live horse doctor, and now there is no better way.

"This governor can swear to the sky, I really don't know about this matter, Wang Kefan is so deliberately plotting against the old man, it is for his selfish interests, and his heart can be punished!" Wan Yuan Ji shouted grievances at Zhu Yulu and Tang Laihe, almost leaving tears. Wang Kefan straightened his black material behind his back, and then suddenly gave him a blow to the head, which is a very despicable means of political struggle.

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, and Ji Gong does not need to worry too much, nor does he need to be angry. Deng Bin committed this kind of big crime, if I am Yuntai, I can't tolerate him, it has nothing to do with Ji Gong......" Zhu Yulu hurriedly comforted him, Wan Yuan Ji looked like he had a clear conscience, and he also took the initiative to ask for a strict trial of Deng Bin with a frank heart, which should be innocent.

Wan Yuan Ji sniffed, almost choked with emotion, and was about to speak, but Wang Kefan walked over.

"Wan Dufu rest assured, I will definitely investigate this case to the end, as for the final result, let's wait and see. Today, Wan Dufu confessed his innocence in front of tens of thousands of people, and he should have a clear conscience, but Deng Bin, as your deputy general, since you have committed such a big crime, you are at least responsible for negligence. Wang Kefan said coldly: "I have written a good notebook to impeach the governor of Jiangxi and Fujian, Wan Yuan Ji is not strict in managing the army, and he is deaf and negligent, please think about how to defend yourself."
