Chapter 1285: Stretch out your head and stab

In addition to the Golden Guards of Eric III, the Knights of the Birds are the most exalted. Eric III's reliance on his uncle Fayunna, coupled with the decline of Viking power in the past two decades, led to a decline in the interests of Danish colonial plunder, and his control over the North Sea became weaker and weaker. Christ City and Kalmar City are far apart, so it was very unexpected for the Knights of the Birds to suddenly appear in Kalmar City. Mo said that the Dingguo army stationed near Yerinburg, even the city lord of Kalma City, Quasimotu, was taken aback, and in the face of the kingdom's elite black-armored cavalry, Quasimotu broke out in a cold sweat.

How could Quasimotu not be afraid, his family was not a close associate of the Eric family, otherwise he would not have been thrown to Kalmar City. Kalmar City is located near the Baltic Sea, facing the sea in the east, the inhabitants of the former Kingdom of Sweden in the north, and the Holy Roman Empire in the south. It can be said that Kalmar City is simply the frontier of chaos, and whoever stays in Kalmar City is the unlucky person of the kingdom. In recent years, the Holy Roman Empire has almost completed the unification and annexed the Kingdom of the Franks. Quasimotu was really scared, could it be that the king found out about the relationship between the family and Lothair, and sent troops to exterminate it? It's a bit of a fuss, it's like killing chickens with a knife.

Sticking out his head and stabbing his head, shrinking his head is still a knife, if the Knights of the Birds are really coming at themselves, then no matter how they prepare, it is useless. In desperation, Quasimotu could only obediently lead people outside the city to greet him, he had always been very worried, and the relationship between King Eric and the Germans had not been good all these years. Not to mention the constant disputes between the two sides over the ownership of Zealand, in recent years, the Frankish Kingdom alone has had a lot of direct conflicts with the Vikings because of the issue of the Island of England, and the two sides have directly collided on the Island of England no less than ten times, and the Vikings have withdrawn from the Island of England, and the Franks have made great contributions, and the Kingdom of the Franks is precisely a principality of the Holy Empire. Without the addition of the Franks, the English and Scots alone would not have been able to defeat the Vikings in a short time, and the North Sea interests of the Kingdom of Denmark would not have been weakened to such an extent. New hatred and old hatred, the Kingdom of Denmark and the Holy Empire have become a pair of mortal enemies, in this case, the Quasimotu family is still hooking up with Lothair, the risk can be imagined.

Fayunna's personal visit to Kalmar was tantamount to a small earthquake, and Fayunna was an unattainable figure for the nobles of Kalmar. Quasimoto really couldn't figure out Fayunna's intentions, he stood in the crowd, his hands unconsciously clenched tightly, and secretly cheered in his heart, if Fayunna really came to ask for the guilt, then he couldn't say that he had to fight. Although there is little hope, Quasimoto does not want to sit still. Of course, in his heart, Quasimotu was also a little unconvinced, doing so many things was not for the stability of Kalma, if Kalmar City was not stable, the kingdom could concentrate on the eastern region, and it was impossible to send heavy troops to Sealand Island.

Towards noon, a pair of black-armored cavalrymen slowly appeared in view, these people had typical Nordic characteristics, with a tall nose bridge, a tall body, and a powerful appearance. The white-haired Favanna stood at the front of the team, imposing, and his resolute face was full of vicissitudes and wisdom. Due to the hot weather, Fayunna was only wearing a thin short-sleeved cloth armor, but his simple dress did not affect his prestige at all, and his eyes swept over, and an invisible coercion covered everyone's heads. More than a dozen black-armored cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, seemingly casual, but they guarded all directions, guarding Fayunna's safety. Fayuna didn't know Quasimotu, but he did recognize the family emblem of the Quasimotu family, so with just a little recognition, he found Quasimotu standing in the middle. Just looking at it simply, he felt the uneasiness coming from Quasimotu's body, Fayuna frowned, his eyes swept over the crowd, and looked up along the bluestone city wall, in the field of vision, there were many flags on the city wall, and behind the battlements, there were faint soldiers and horses ambushing there. Fayuna was unhappy in his heart, but he understood that for decades, Kalmar City has been the sphere of influence of the Quasimotu family, and the royal family has always paid little attention to Kalmar City, and now that thousands of elite cavalry have suddenly arrived, the Quasimotu family will definitely be worried. As for the cattleness between the Quasimotu family and Lothair, Fayunna also knew something, but he didn't plan to ask about this, this time when he came to the Baltic Sea coast, many places still had to rely on the Quasimotu family, how could it be because of a little that affected the plans behind?

As if he hadn't noticed anything, Fayunna turned over and dismounted, and walked straight to Quasimoto, his expression kind and smiling, like an ordinary rich man. The guard in Quasimotu's heart finally let go of a lot, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt down on one knee, "Quasimotu of Kalmar City, welcome His Royal Highness." ”

Faruna stretched out his hand to help Quasimotu, although he was old, the strength in his hand was still good, Quasimotu was also a warrior, but he was forced to help him up. Quasimoto was secretly frightened, Fayunna, this old guy, looked old, he didn't expect his hands to be so strong. Fayuna seems to be supporting, but in fact he is also demonstrating, just to tell Quasimotu that Kalmar City is greasy, but he is all in his eyes, don't treat him Fayuna as an ordinary old man. Quasimotu knew in his heart, and estimated that the old fellow Fayunna saw that something was coming, stood up, put his right hand behind him, and gestured to his lawyer, who understood and withdrew from the crowd without a trace, and soon the soldiers and horses who were ambushed at the head of the city withdrew one after another. Fayuna has already taken the initiative to show favor, and Quasimotu doesn't need to cause trouble, otherwise he will have nothing to do.

Following behind Fayunna, the group slowly walked into the city of Kalmar, for ordinary people, Prince Fayunna was like a mythical existence, so many people stood on both sides of the street, wanting to see the prince's demeanor. On this day, the small town of Kalmar was very lively, like a festival, only more than 400 people of the Knights of the Birds entered the city, and the rest all chose to be stationed outside the city of Kalmar, which was a gesture made by Fayunna, in order to appease the Quasimotu family. Fayunna's move was to tell the Quasimotu family that the Knights of the Birds were not interested in Kalmar City, and that Kalmar City would always be the QuasimotΓΊ family's sphere of influence. As long as the royal family is not interested in Kalmar City, Quasimotu will not have too many worries, as for the intentions of Fayunna, it is not so important, the Quasimotu family only needs to cooperate.

In the family castle, the long table was full of sumptuous food, and Fayunna accompanied Quasimotu to meet the nobles of the city, and halfway through the feast, the two returned to their private study on the third floor. Near the coast, the study was full of moisture, Quasimotu opened the window, the sunlight poured in, and he added some wine for Fayunna, before sitting respectfully on the other side, "Your Royal Highness, why haven't you ever received news of the arrival of the Knights of the Birds on the eastern coast before?" Is the kingdom going to do something to the bandits of Helaren? ”

Helalen is Lake Helalen, that is, the Swedes who are active in the north of the city of Kalmar. Although the Swedes invaded eastward a few decades ago and established the Kingdom of Sweden, for a number of reasons, and the fact that the Swedes were under the rule of the Kingdom of Denmark, the people of the Baltic Sea have always called them the Hylaren bandits, not the Kingdom of Sweden. The Swedes belong to the Kingdom of Denmark, but they are still very different from the traditional Danes, and there are deep contradictions. It all has to start from the era of piracy more than 200 years ago, when the people near the Baltic Sea lived in poverty, so many people in order to survive, the birth of pirate myths across Northern Europe, the most famous of which is the Vikings. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the people of various countries formed a Viking fleet, with the support of the Kingdom of Denmark behind them, and the fleet grew stronger and stronger, and finally hit the island of England and plundered countless riches. A few decades ago, however, there was a huge disagreement between people from the Kingdom of Sweden and the Danish crown. The royal family felt that the Viking fleet should be mainly plundered, while the Swedes felt that the greatest value of the fleet was not plunder, but trade, and that plunder was not a long-term solution, and trade could bring long-term benefits. In this case, the two sides went further and further, which eventually led to a split, with the Swedes withdrawing, the Vikings being cut off by a third, and the Vikings vying for power and the rise of Holy Rome, and finally the Vikings completely declining. It can be said that the Swedes were responsible for the collapse of Viking power, so the royal family, as well as many Danish nobles, did not have a good impression of the Swedes from the north.

In recent years, the Swedes have expanded not only to build a small Baltic fleet, but also to trade as far south as the Eastern Roman Empire, as far as the Seljuk-controlled Black Sea Valley. The Swedes traded for grain and iron tools, and civilization developed rapidly, and Rurik, who unified the Slavic tribes and founded Kipros, was born into the Swedish aristocracy. With iron tools and food, and life was secured, the Swedes wanted to develop westward and reopen the North Sea trade, but the western part of the country had always been under the control of the Danish royal family, and the Swedes would not be allowed to take a piece of the pie, so the contradictions between the two sides became deeper and deeper. In recent years, although the Swedes still belong to the Danish crown, they have actually formed an independent kingdom, and the Danish royal family has held several discussions with the Swedes to raise an army to attack Lake Helaren and plunder the Swedes' grain and iron tools.

Because of all the things that have happened before, Quasimotu thinks that it is not unusual for the royal family to do something to the Swedes. As for the Orientals who conquered Kipros, he didn't think much about it, in his opinion, the two sides could not have any intersection across the Baltic Sea, not to mention that the Orientals had always behaved very cautiously and never showed any intention of crossing the Baltic Sea. Fayunna smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that the Quasimotu family also wants to ask for some benefits from the Swedes, but they are destined to be disappointed, and took a shallow sip of wine, Fayunna smiled faintly, "Although the people of Helaren have always had conflicts with us, they are still the people of the kingdom after all, and it is impossible for the kingdom to do anything to them before they make an obvious rebellion." Lord Quasimotu, you have actually overlooked one point, even if the Swedes have a Baltic fleet, they are not much of a threat to us, and on land, the royal army can trap the Swedes firmly near Lake Hylaren. Our real enemies are on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, and the mysterious empire from the Great East has taken complete control of Kiporos, and they are our worst enemies. The reason why Kalmar City was not informed this time was that he wanted to quietly reach the Baltic Sea, raid Yerinburg, and test the intentions of the Easterners. ”

"Raid on Yellinburg?" Quasimoto frowned, secretly surprised in his heart, is the royal family crazy? He took the initiative to test the Orientals. Quasimotu instinctively felt that this was not a wise move, and he didn't know what the strength of the mysterious Eastern Empire was, but Kipros's strength was still very clear. The Slavs were brave and warlike and had a strong will, and the Swedes tried several times to enter the eastern Baltic region under the name of Rurik, but all of them were defeated by the Slavs, which was not yet a unified Kiporos. If it weren't for the lack of war horses and the lack of shipbuilding among the Slavs, I am afraid that they would have crossed the Baltic Sea and invaded the Kingdom of Denmark. And the Eastern Empire brutally defeated the unified Slavic Empire from the front, angering them, didn't it make trouble for itself? The more Quasimotu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, wasn't King Eric notoriously timid and cautious, how could he dare to take such a big risk this time?

As if sensing the confusion in Quasimoto's mind, Fayuna explained, "Lord Quasimoto, do you think there is something wrong with the king's actions? Hehe, in fact, we all know that the gains and losses of angering the Orientals outweigh the losses, but as long as the risk is controlled to a certain extent, it is still no problem. When we fight Yerinburg, it's not all for the Orientals. Since that old fox of Lothair threw out a piece of bread, let's not eat it for nothing, even if something goes wrong in the back, we can throw the trouble out. ”

Quasimotu was a little confused for a while, and it took him a long time to figure out what Fayuna meant. Gradually, Quasimotu's eyes were a little wrong, and he was shocked with a little admiration, and after a long time, the plan to attack Yellinburg turned out to be instigated by Lothair, no wonder Eric would be so bold. Lothair is the famous old Saxon fox, who has suffered a lot at his hands before, and this time he instigated the Kingdom of Denmark to attack Yellinburg, with the obvious intention of provoking the conflict between the Kingdom of Denmark and the Orientals. Eric was also a scheming man, and while attacking Yelinburg, he was ready to sell Lothair. All of these are calculations, Quasimotu was shocked in his heart, compared to the contest between Lothair and Eric, his own calculations could not be put on the table at all.

"Thank you for your advice, Your Royal Highness, the minister understands, according to the prince's meaning, is it to ask the soldiers and horses of Kalmar City to cooperate with the sneak attack on Yelinburg?" Quasimotu is not a fool, in the past, Yelinburg was occupied by the Skinners, and no one could touch it, and now that the Knights of the Birds are in the lead, if they don't take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, they will really be fools. Fayuna was smiling, and Quasimoto was a smart man.

The Knights of the Flying Birds are planning specific steps to attack Yerinburg, and in Vladimir City, Zhao Yougong is still having a headache about the affairs of the Seventh Battalion. Some things are never imagined if you don't see them with your own eyes, after walking into the Seventh Military Camp, just at first glance, Zhao Yougong was almost frightened by the scene in the barracks, the camp was full of things, not to mention the altars and jars, the camp tents built were also destroyed, and some places were still on fire, and there were soldiers sitting on the ground grinning with their teeth everywhere. The Seventh Military Camp has become this ghost, no matter how good the cultivation is, it will be angry. No matter what the reason, Zhang Bocheng could not escape the blame, as the actual person in charge of the barracks, he actually let such a big thing happen in the battalion, the cavalry of the Ruifeng battalion opened the way, and the soldiers of the seventh battalion all looked at this side weakly, Zhao Yougong hit the horse forward, and roared, "Where is Zhang Bocheng?" Let him hurry up. ”

Zhao Yougong was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, with extraordinary momentum, and the golden dragon flag behind him showed his identity. Those Slavic soldiers and Siberian soldiers didn't know Zhao Yougong, but the veterans of the national army and the Mongols did, so many people were all shocked, and their legs and feet trembled, but they didn't expect a group fight to alarm the regent. On weekdays, I am proud to see the regent, but today, the last thing everyone wants to see is the regent, and looking at his face, no one can please him today. Several commanders hurriedly let the soldiers under their command stand up, and those who were still fighting also consciously separated, and the soldiers of the Ruifeng battalion were not polite, they had Zhao Yougong's direct order, and rushed into the crowd on horseback, as long as they saw those who were still fighting, they directly picked up the handle of the knife and greeted them fiercely. Zhao Yougong turned over and dismounted, looking at the mess under his feet, his heart ached, if it was hit by the enemy, it would be nothing, but a good battalion, but it was ruined like this by his own people, it was really unbearable. After a while, I saw a commotion in front of me, and a burly man led a dozen people to run over in a panic. At this time, Zhang Bocheng's courage was about to tremble, he never dreamed that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent would come to the seventh military camp, so when he heard the news of His Highness's arrival, his first reaction was to find a place to hide.

Seeing Zhao Yougong standing coldly near the camp gate, Zhang Bocheng chuckled in his heart, and fell to his knees, "The last general didn't know that His Highness was coming, and he couldn't greet him from afar, and he still looked at His Highness Haihan." ”

At this time, the surroundings were already full of people, and many soldiers of the 7th Army Battalion were looking at the gate of the camp, although everyone was standing together, they were clearly divided into two camps, the Slavs and the Siberian soldiers stood together, and the veterans of the Dingguo Army and the Mongols stood together, and the people of both camps were waiting for the next reaction. The Slavic soldiers were all puffing out their cheeks and panting, but in their eyes there was a deep concern in them, and the Slavic soldiers were still afraid. The thunderous methods of the regent of the East, they have seen it with their own eyes, they are also from the East, will this regent be partial to those veterans of the Dingguo Army? To say that there is no concern at all is definitely false, after all, the Slavic children are just a group of surrenderers. Gradually, many people have regretted it, why should they fight with others in the first place? The Easterners have conquered Kipros, and it is already commendable that everyone has not become slaves, even if they eat less, it is better than not having to eat at all, right?

Zhao Yougong snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a weird smile, took two steps forward, suddenly raised his legs, and kicked directly in Zhang Bocheng's chest. Zhang Bocheng was defenseless, and he didn't dare to dodge, he kicked in the chest, and the whole person lay on the ground with a bang, Zhao Yougong was so strong, just one kick, kicked Zhang Bocheng and spit blood. The two soldiers of the Ruifeng battalion directly set up Zhang Bocheng and dragged him back in front of Zhao Yougong, looking at Zhang Bocheng who was embarrassed in front of him, Zhao Yougong laughed instead of being angry, "Hey, General Zhang, this king admires you, you should be very clear about the newly formulated military regulations, this king has repeatedly ordered that no matter where the soldiers in the army come from, they must respect each other, respect and love each other, and as a general, they should lead by example." And you, not only did you not obey the military rules, but also allowed your subordinates to make mistakes, this king took the first military camp well, so that you became like this, this king's soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but let their people be half disabled, did you fucking eat the bear's heart leopard gall, or do you think this king dare not touch you? ”

Speaking of anger, Zhao Yougong couldn't help it, raised his hand and slapped it Zhang Bocheng's face. slapped up, and half of Zhang Bocheng's face immediately swelled. A shouting and scolding, a punch and a kick, not only woke up Zhang Bocheng, but also calmed the hearts of the Slavic soldiers, at this moment, those Slavic soldiers finally put their minds at ease, just one punch and a kick, Zhao Yougong won the respect of those Slavic soldiers. One of the Slavic soldiers was already in tears, he knew that the regent really regarded the Slavic children as his own soldiers, and he said that equality in the army was no joke. If in the past, the Slavic children served as soldiers just for a bite to eat, but now, they really regard themselves as soldiers of the Dingguo Army, and all the previous unpleasantness has disappeared.

Feeling the coldness in Zhao Yougong's eyes, Zhang Bocheng was finally afraid, he broke free from the two Ruifeng Battalion soldiers, knelt on the ground again, his shoulders trembled constantly, "Your Highness, the last general knows that he is wrong, beg His Highness to be merciful, spare the last general, and the last general will never dare again." ”

"Now that I know it's wrong, what did I do before?" Zhao Yougong snorted coldly, didn't look at Zhang Bocheng again, and walked directly towards the center of the camp, "Tie up Zhang Bocheng, this king wants to see who dares to take the military regulations seriously." ”

The soldiers of the Ruifeng battalion didn't care what Zhang Bocheng's identity was, Zhao Yougong gave an order, and several soldiers rushed up and directly pressed Zhang Bocheng to the ground and tied him up firmly. A quarter of an hour later, the sun was shining on the campus of the Seventh Military Barracks, the vast school field was crowded with people, and there were more than a dozen military bigwigs standing on the martial arts platform. At this time, not only Xiao Zhiyun and others came to the Seventh Military Camp, but even Gao Chong, Yelusha, Shi Wengong and others also came to the Yanwu platform, the center of the platform, and Zhang Bocheng was tied up strongly. Xiao Zhiyun also had a stinky face, exuding a devouring cold air on her body, and she had a heart to protect Gao Zhong and Zhang Bocheng before, but after seeing the tragic situation of the Seventh Military Camp with her own eyes, that little bit of thought was gone, and all that was left was anger. The reason why Zhang Bocheng has such a big courage is not because of his high favor. I used to know that Gao Pet had a reckless personality, pampered and arrogant, but I didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant, after the military restructuring, he couldn't ignore the military orders that were repeatedly reclaimed, and he was not even willing to do superficial work, if he didn't teach him a lesson this time, he really thought that the Dingguo Army couldn't be transferred without him. Shi Wengong and Gao Zhong got close to each other, looking at Zhao Yougong who was standing in front, Shi Wengong said in a low voice, "General Gao, how did you get it?" His Royal Highness has repeatedly emphasized that discrimination is not allowed in the army, and everyone is treated equally, and the brothers also know that you look down on the Slavs, but don't be so obvious, doesn't this make Your Highness unable to come to the stage? ”

Listening to Shi Wengong's complaints, and then looking at Zhao Yougong's cold and swishing back, Gao Chong also scolded wildly in his heart, and couldn't help but say bitterly, "General Shi, are you really stupid to such an extent that Gao?" His Royal Highness keeps emphasizing the things, no matter how arrogant Gao is, he has to take it to heart. This time it was purely a mistake in Zhang Bocheng's judgment, he thought it was just a simple matter, who knew that it would eventually evolve into this situation. ”

Shi Wengong rolled his eyes, and smiled bitterly in his heart, Zhang Bocheng's virtue is not influenced by Gao Zhong on weekdays, if Gao Zhong really takes the rules seriously, Zhang Bocheng would not dare to do this even if he had the courage to do so. However, Shi Wengong only clicked to the end, and if he said more, he would really provoke Gao Chong's jealousy, Gao Chong was the general of the royal palace, no matter how angry His Royal Highness was, it was impossible to take Gao Chong's life. The school field was full of people, and seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Yougong took an iron horn from Sanniang and shouted at the tens of thousands of soldiers on the school field, "What happened in the seventh military camp made this king very sad, this king didn't expect you to do such a thing." If you are an old man in the Dingguo Army, then you should know what the military order is. This king has said more than once that we have come to Kiporos to rule this land, and from now on, Kiporos will be the land of our Great Song Dynasty, and the Slavic children will also be the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you are both the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you will join the army and participate in the war, not only to eat, but also to guard the land under your feet and guard our lives. Wearing the same military uniform, you are comrades-in-arms and brothers. Do you dare to look down on this and look down on that, have you ever thought that one day, on the battlefield, standing behind you is the person you look down on, you can't respect and love each other, and how to support and protect each other when you go to the battlefield in the future. You have all remembered to this king that your mutual respect today is not for others, but for the sake of better survival on the battlefield in the future, and only by uniting together can you become stronger. ”

On the school field, only Zhao Yougong's voice was endless, his feelings were sincere, and every word deeply shocked the hearts of the soldiers. The Slavic soldiers did not understand, but the interpreter would translate every sentence accurately. Taking a breath, Zhao Yougong changed his words and pointed at Zhang Bocheng, who was tied into a dumpling, "This person must all know you, he is the commander Zhang Bocheng, the actual head of this military camp." Those Slavic brothers, this king knows that you have anger in your hearts, but this king assures you that since you have become a soldier of this king, you are the people of the Dingguo army, the most loyal people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you will have the respect you deserve. ”

As soon as the words fell, Sanniang took two steps forward and shouted, "Zhang Bocheng disrespects military rules, listens to and believes partially, and acts unfairly, which leads to a brawl among the soldiers of the seventh military camp, and the military camp is ruined. According to the military order, there is no forgiveness for killing. Someone came, escorted Zhang Bocheng up, and disposed of it according to the military order. ”

Several Ruifeng battalion soldiers dragged Zhang Bocheng to the edge of the martial arts platform, and the surroundings of the school became silent, even Zhang Bocheng gave up struggling, at this moment, Zhang Bocheng seemed to accept his fate, he also knew how stupid he was. His Royal Highness is right, Kipros will be the land of the Great Song Dynasty after that, although the Slavs have different skin colors, they are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they will become powerful soldiers of the Dingguo Army, why do they still engage in discrimination in the army? It's a pity that it was too late to understand, violating military regulations, resulting in the destruction of the 7th Army Camp, each of which is a capital offense. Zhang Bocheng is also a commander no matter what he says, even if he dies, he will not be a coward, Sanniang pulled out a short knife and carried it out in person, Zhang Bocheng raised his head and looked resolute, "Concubine Hu, give the last general a good time, the last general is ignorant, and he has caused a lot of trouble to His Royal Highness in vain, even if he dies, it is difficult to atone for his sins." ”

Sanniang finally showed a look of praise and nodded at Zhang Bocheng, "You are still a man, you dare to act, you have not insulted the position of commander, what you committed this time is too big, no one can save you, and on the Huangquan Road, don't blame Your Highness." ”

After a while, Zhang Bocheng lowered his head, and Sanniang slowly raised the knife, the blade shining coldly, reflecting the scorching sun. Everyone held their breath, and everyone understood that if Princess Hu went down with this knife, her head would really fall to the ground. Suddenly, many people have a heart of fear, the same fear accompanied by regret, and looking back, how ridiculous and meaningless the previous actions were. A Dutong felt guilty in his heart, Zhang Bocheng actually wore it for everyone, the rebellion in the seventh military camp was not Zhang Bocheng's crime, but the sin of many people, this Dutong knelt on the ground and arched his hand, "I also hope that His Royal Highness the princess will be gracious, although General Zhang made a big mistake, but not only did we not give birth advice, but also contributed to the troubles, and it was also difficult to get out of the relationship." ”

When one person stood up, more people stood up, and in an instant the school field fell to their knees, all of them were voices pleading for Zhang Bocheng, most of these people were veterans of the Dingguo Army and Mongolian soldiers, and some were soldiers from Siberia. Looking at the school field kneeling down, the voices came and went, wave after wave, Zhao Yougong's face became very ugly, this is a plea, it is simply a forced palace.

As more and more people fell to their knees, those Slavic soldiers also had different expressions, and Princess Hu wanted to kill Zhang Bocheng with her own hands, which everyone did not expect. In the Slavic soldiers' mind, a little punishment, the matter will pass, after all, the law does not blame the public, and after punishment, it can be regarded as an explanation, and the Slavic children will no longer complain. No one wants Zhang Bocheng to die, the destruction of the Seventh Military Camp like this is not Zhang Bocheng's sin, if you watch Zhang Bocheng being killed, I can't bear not to say it, I'm afraid it will really bury a hidden danger. They are all soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they will go to the battlefield together in the future, if it is not one heart, then how can they cooperate? There are smart Slavs who have figured out all the joints, they stood up and joined the ranks of intercession, gradually, someone took the lead, and all the Slavic soldiers also began to intercede for Zhang Bocheng, this time, the seventh military camp can be regarded as one heart, seeing this scene, Zhang Bocheng couldn't help but burst into tears, before he had never taken the Slavs seriously, but now, these people are kneeling on the ground to intercede for themselves, now think about it, what they have done is really ridiculous.

Gao Chong's heart has been entangled, Zhang Bocheng is a fierce general, this guy is brave and strategic, good at marching and arranging, it is a pity to be killed like this. It's just that Gao Chong has never been able to find a reason to intercede, seeing that the Slavic soldiers are all kneeling on the ground, Gao Chong's expression moved, and he felt that the opportunity had come, so he came to Zhao Yougong in three or two steps, and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, please read on Zhang Bocheng's past achievements, this time he is also a first offender, just spare his life." Zhang Bocheng has today's mistakes, the last general is not effective in supervision, and the royal family is not strict, and it is difficult to escape the involvement, and the last general is willing to be punished with Zhang Bocheng. ”

Shi Wengong, Yelu Sha and the others looked at each other, stepped forward together, knelt behind Gao Chong, and said in unison, "Now that it is the time to employ people, Zhang Bocheng has realized his mistake, and I hope His Highness will be extrajudicial and spare his life!" ”

Several bigwigs in the army took the lead, and tens of thousands of soldiers on the school field also shouted together, "I hope Your Highness will be extrajudicial and merciful, and General Rao Zhang will not die!" I hope that His Royal Highness will be extrajudicial and gracious, and General Rao Zhang will not die! ....." Listening to the waves of pleading, Sanniang finally hesitated, she put away the knife, looked at Zhao Yougong inquiringly, and after a while, Zhao Yougong sighed and waved his hand to signal Sanniang to stop. In fact, Zhao Yougong didn't want Zhang Bocheng to die, but if the affairs of the Seventh Military Camp were not handled well, it would bring endless hidden dangers.

Raising his hand and stretching out his gaze, his voice finally fell into a low voice, and finally turned into silence. Zhao Yougong opened his throat, and a smile appeared on his face, "I can see that everyone is united, this king is very relieved, since everyone is interceding for him, thinking about the first offense, this king will save Zhang Bocheng from death." However, the violation was the first, and the seventh military camp was reduced to ruins, and this matter could not be ignored. Therefore, capital crimes can be avoided and living crimes cannot be escaped, and as a general in the army, you must set an example, and if you commit a crime, you will be severely punished. The commander Zhang Bocheng, fifty lashes, is not strict with the control of the high favor and the emperor, and it is difficult to escape the blame, twenty lashes. Zhang Bocheng was demoted to the commander of the capital, and Gao Zhong was demoted to the commander of the command, and he was in charge of the capital control function. May the officers and men of the army take this as a warning and do not commit it again. ”

After that, Zhao Yougong looked at Gao Chong and Zhang Bocheng, and asked with a displeased expression, "You two, do you have any objections to the king's disposition?" Zhao Yougong was clearly asking Gao Chong, what kind of virtue this confidant will be, he knows very well. Gao Zhong is not a person who does not know what to do, although the position of the capital has been taken down, but the authority has not changed, as long as he makes a little meritorious service in the future, this position will come back. As for the twenty whips, the resistance to the first resistance is over. It's Zhang Bocheng, if you go down with fifty whips, you will lose half your life if you don't die.

Gao Zhong glanced at Zhang Bocheng, wanting to see Zhang Bocheng's attitude, Zhang Bocheng kowtowed gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, the last general will be happy, how can there be any objection." Even if he is dead, it is also the last blessing. ”

Zhang Bocheng has already said so, and Gao Pet naturally no longer has a second word. In this way, one commander, one commander, and two generals in the army were hung up and whipped. The military whip is different from ordinary whips, and it not only hurts when it hits people, but also leaves deep wounds. Who is a high pet? He is a military giant on the same level as Niu Gao, Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, Yelu Dashi and others, even if Yang Zaixing, in terms of qualifications and prestige, he is much worse. Now this military giant is actually tied up and whipped up, which was unimaginable before. This whip was whipped on Gao Zhong and Zhang Bocheng, and it was also whipped on the hearts of Shi Wengong and other soldiers of the Dingguo Army, this whip down, everyone completely realized the importance of military restructuring, this time it was a whip, and next time someone dared to engage in discrimination in the army, it would definitely be a death, His Royal Highness can be extrajudicial once, but there will never be a second time.

Those Slavic soldiers were already full of tears, they really felt what respect was, at this moment, they really found a sense of belonging, an honor that belonged to the Dingguo Army, and a pride that belonged to the people of the Great Song Dynasty. A rebellion in the seventh military camp did not cause a greater disaster, and Zhao Yougong also went through this turmoil and used familiar means to win the hearts of Slavic soldiers. After that, the restructuring of the entire army proceeded very smoothly, the phenomenon of discrimination in the army disappeared cleanly, not only did the Chinese language teaching classes in the army flourish, but the Eastern and Western soldiers sat together and learned from each other, and the atmosphere in the army became extremely harmonious. Although there are indispensable things in the barracks that are brave and ruthless, they have nothing to do with discrimination.

Everyone is happy, the only unlucky ones are Gao Pet and Zhang Bocheng, Gao Pet is still better, relying on a hard kung fu, and rough skin and thick meat, he quickly eased up, but Zhang Bocheng, half of the name is left, don't want to get out of bed for at least a month.

Zhao Yougong, Xiao Zhiyun and his entourage returned to Vladimir City, and in the city lord's mansion, everyone gathered together to discuss some things. After the events of the seventh military camp, Luo Weidenov became more and more respectful of Zhao Yougong, and the regent of the East looked a little young, but he was resolute and resolute, and he was full of grace and power, and he won the hearts of the soldiers. Now, the whole of Kipros has completely submitted to the Eastern Empire, and the regent has been called the "unsinkable Emperor of the East" by his sons in the army.

"Your Highness, the latest news from the direction of Yelinburg, the Danes are gathering on the Baltic Sea coast, and it is estimated that they will have to make a move soon" Dongfang Jin scratched his forehead, and there was an indescribable sadness between his eyebrows. Zhao Yougong is also worried, although the army restructuring is going smoothly, but it is not possible to use troops on a large scale in a short period of time, and there is really no good way to face the attack of the Danes, "Inform the Yellinburg garrison, once the Danes raid the area of Yerinburg, don't fall in love with the war, take the initiative to retreat, it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years, we don't need to spend too much strength for that benefit." ”

Lovednov nodded secretly, he also thought so, the Danes are not stupid, they just came to hang around, it is impossible to be stationed in Yerinburg. The regent can be regarded as bending, and knows how to make the corresponding trade-offs, "Your Highness, the ministers think it is very strange, the Danes dare to go to Yelinburg at this time, it is impossible not to rely on it.
