Chapter 47: The Reins

While Chen Wen, Wu Dengke, and other officers continued to discuss the results of today's training, a quarrel came from the torture area on the other side of the school grounds.

"What do you want?!"

Hearing the general's questioning, both the pacification soldiers who were surrounded in the middle and the tortured soldiers hurriedly bowed to the ground, claiming that they were guilty of capital crimes.

After Chen Wen motioned for them to get up, he asked for a while, and then he understood what was going on.

It turned out that these soldiers had violated the discipline of training and were punishable according to the law. It's just that everyone is punished for different reasons, so the number of lashes is different, and the calmer in charge of the execution drew more than a dozen even numbers in a row, and the last one was a singular number, but he habitually whipped it with his backhand.

After pumping, the calmer immediately realized his mistake and quickly apologized. And the soldier violated the training regulations because he didn't pay attention to the clod of soil on the ground and broke his foot after receiving the order to move forward five steps just now, so he was always dissatisfied with this punishment. At this moment, he was inexplicably punished with an extra whip, which was naturally even more unacceptable, so he quarreled with the calming soldier and threatened to pull the whip back to solve the problem.

In this way, those few pacification soldiers were naturally in the same spirit, and those soldiers who were punished also had a sense of sadness for the death of rabbits and foxes, and stood together and refused to give up. As a result, the two sides quarreled, and the situation almost got out of control. Fortunately, Chen Wen saw that he happened to hear the quarrel, so he rushed over with the officers.

Chen Wen knew that this soldier was an unforgiving troublemaker in the team, and he was punished almost every time; And the pacification soldier is a very honest man, when he recruited troops, he asked this pacification soldier to be responsible for giving the storyteller money, the task was completed very well, and he was not greedy for even a penny.

It's just that after learning what happened, Chen Wen suddenly realized that this was clearly an opportunity. I saw that he picked up the soldier's waist card and glanced at it, and shouted: "An Youfu, the gunner, the captain of the fourth killer of the first post, intends to attack the suppression soldier who is responsible for the duty of the acting marching judge, according to the regulations, the cane will be punished fifty, and the collaborator will be punished by twenty-five according to the regulations, and it will be executed immediately!" ”

Hearing this, the spearman breathed a sigh of relief, intending to attack the military judge and attacking the military judge were completely two kinds of punishment, the former was to be punished with fifty rods, and the latter was to be beheaded for public display. Although he was so excited that he didn't control his mouth just now, he always remembered the latter's punishment and didn't do it. And the other soldiers who were punished for coordination had nothing to say, after all, it was written in the regulations, and others had been punished for it earlier.

Without everyone reacting, Chen Wen then said: "Suppressing the soldiers Lin Zhongxiao, changing the number of punishments without authorization, according to the regulations, whether it is intentional or not, it will be calculated according to the number of changes twenty times, and the whipping will be twenty times, and it will be executed immediately!" ”

Seeing that both of them had accepted the punishment provisions that had already been indicated in this regulation, Chen Wen once again opened his mouth to announce the next punishment.

"Guerrilla General Chen Wen, acting as the manager of the battalion to pacify the troops, led the troops ineffectively, invoked the regulations to increase the punishment, thirty lashes, and immediately executed!"

As soon as these words came out, the execution area suddenly fell silent.

"General, this must not be the case!" I saw Yin Yue immediately fall to the ground on one knee. "If a general is flogged, he will be laughed at by his comrades in the future. There is a way that the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the death of the ministers, and this matter is related to the life and death of our department. ”

"The lowly rank implores the general to retract his order." As he spoke, the execution chamber fell to its knees, and both officers and soldiers pleaded with them to take back their Lord's fate, even if their intentions were different.

Chen Wen shook his head, he didn't know that there were a few people here who had already understood his intentions, but he had already made up his mind to do so.

"On the day of the formation of the army, the general said that military law is above everyone in the camp and above the general. The general has made up his mind, you don't need to say more, the execution! Saying that, Chen Wen began to take off his military uniform one by one, he was very glad that he didn't wear Shanwen armor to inspect and train today, otherwise it would be even more troublesome to take it off.

In his opinion, if even the generals in an army cannot abide by the rules and regulations of military law, how can they demand their subordinates. Once military discipline is abolished, the soldiers begin to violate his military law and plunder the people, and everything he has done will be wasted. As Wang Yi said, if Wang Shi robs the people, he is a thief, and he will never tolerate turning soldiers into thieves.

Taking off his military uniform, Chen Wen stood under the rack where he was flogged, picked up a short wooden stick and put it in his mouth. This was the inspiration he got from the first part of the movie "Starship Troopers", in which Johnilek was punished for violating the rules and wanted to quit the army. However, he only intends to follow the example of the first half, after all, Buenos Aires has no possibility of being destroyed by the Zerg for the time being, but Kyushu will fall into the hands of Yidi.

Then, I saw him grasp the rope hanging low on one side with one hand, put it on his hand, and said loudly: "Starting from Ben General, the execution will be carried out immediately!" ”

Perhaps because the movement in the execution area was too large, many officers and soldiers who had already returned to the camp ran back to watch the excitement, after all, this is a common hobby of the Chinese people. But what appeared in front of them at this moment was a scene they had never imagined, even an unprecedented scene.

"What are you rubbing? Beat! ”

In his ears was Chen Wen's somewhat deformed roar squeezed by the short wooden stick in his mouth, and in his hand was a leather whip trembling with it, and the execution soldiers who were in order after Lin Zhongxiao looked at the absurd scene in front of him and hesitated. At the moment when Chen Wen's word "hit" smashed on his eardrum at a speed of 340 meters per second, the poor pacifier, who was repeatedly tormented by the fear of violating military orders and whipping Shangguan, gritted his teeth, raised his whip and whipped it.

There was no expected pain, the force was not right at all, although Chen Wen had not tried the leather whip of this era, but he knew that this power was not right at all, because he did not hurt at all, and the leather whip only rubbed his skin.

Before the calming soldier could take the second blow, Chen Wen immediately spit out the short wooden stick and shouted: "Ben General doesn't remember to grant you the vacation to go down the mountain to see your mother-in-law, where did you use all your special strength?!" How to fight on weekdays is how to fight today, it's a standing peeing and using his strength to fight hard! ”

The hundreds of people present watched all this in amazement, their faces full of astonishment. The scene just now had already stunned many people, and now this scene killed the brains of those soldiers who thought that Chen Wen would acquiesce to the suppression of the soldiers and gently put them down.

Just as everyone's brains were restarting, the calmer slashed his heart.

"Hiss......" Chen Wen gasped, it really hurts, no wonder the young soldiers will try their best to do what they should do after being pumped once, in case they will be punished for violating military discipline again.

"Two!"

Hearing Chen Wen's voice, the Zhenfu soldiers also put aside their worries for the time being and smoked again......

Every time he smoked a whip, Chen Wen would silently count the number of whips he had already smoked in his heart, and then shout out the next number loudly.

Three, four, five, six......

It hurts! Chen Wen, who grew up in a honey pot filled with his grandparents, grandparents and parents, has never been beaten like this since he was naughty.

Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen......

Can it hurt any more? Starting from being able to run and jump, he has never done anything less than chasing and fighting, and when he was in school, he once jumped off the school wall in order to skip school and surf the Internet, and probably only the last fall can be compared with the one just now.

Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two......

You cow beep, sure enough, it can hurt even more. Every time he hit Chen Wen's body, he felt that it might be difficult for him to persevere, but every time he finished silently reciting it in his heart, he would shout out the next number loudly. Because he knows that everything he has paid today will be rewarded in the future, although he has been mixed in society for all these years, he knows very well that he will not necessarily get what he pays, but he believes that everything today will never be like this.

Twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty!

It was finally over, and Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, the men of the Han family in this era do not lack the courage to fight, and they are willing to use their flesh and blood to defend the civilization of clothing. But it was not enough to have this, and the Chinese civilization of this era faced the most cunning and ferocious enemies of all time, even the Mongol Empire, which ruled almost all of Eurasia. Because this barbarian army from the Tunguska ice field brought out the cunning and ferocious nature of its fishing and hunting people to the extreme, especially in the matter of cunning, even the Jurchens whom they considered their ancestors were dwarfed.

But even so, the historical Nanming Dynasty did not have a chance to turn around, at least Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong had such an opportunity, but due to various reasons and accidents, they did not achieve the final victory, thus reversing the fate of Huaxia being stolen by barbarians like Yue Fei.

Chen Wen knew very well that he did not have the talent to use troops like Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong, and he did not have the identity of the four princes of Daxi and the young owner of the Zheng group. From scratch, he possessed the thoughts and knowledge that were opened up and summarized by the people of later generations, as well as a firm belief in reversing the future, and the courage to sacrifice himself for this.

But it is not enough to have this, and if you want to defeat such a formidable enemy, you must build a new army that is completely different from the other armies of this era.

Chen Wen had read many historical novels in his previous life, many of which used the establishment of modern or modern armies to defeat feudal armies, and throughout history, he was able to understand the thoughts of the authors of these works. Because the modern armies that are as sophisticated and cold-blooded as machines in history rarely lose to the feudal armies that rely on individual martial arts to win, and the modern armies that are infused with national or class beliefs on the basis of the modern armies are even more able to defeat the modern armies like a withering and decaying one, even if these losers are stronger and better equipped.

The reason for these victories is simple, because the victors are able to march and fight harder than the losers, and can bear a greater proportion of casualties, and there is no reason why an army that dares to sacrifice far more than its opponents should fail unless the opponent's tech tree has climbed the black technology that defies human courage.

Chen Wen's original idea was to find an island that could block the Qing army, build a modern army under the wing of a boss-level character, and then push the Manchu Qing down, as the protagonist of a novel he once loved. Even if this modern army that grew up on the soil of feudal society will eventually grow into a freak like the Beiyang New Army in the late Qing Dynasty, it is not hesitating, because it is impossible for the feudal army of this era to defeat this freak.

But the time when he went to Fujian to form a team made him realize that he was wrong, and he was very wrong. Chen Wen knew very well that he was not wrong that such a freak could defeat the feudal army, but that he was wrong about the consequences of building such an army and why he had a better choice and abandoned it.

During the time when he was talking about ancient times, he told a lot of stories, Zhu Yuanzhang, Yue Fei, Ban Chao, Chen Qingzhi, Chen Tang, Fu Jiezi, Geng Gong, Wang Xuance, Qi Jiguang and other stories were all told from his mouth, and the most exhausting and favorite was the story of Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang, and he didn't even know why.

It wasn't until that night that Sun Yu's sentence "Eat the people's Lu and ask for the people's lives" that he was completely awakened, because these two people had built an army with the mission of saving the people, and the army they established also defeated those barbarians who took pleasure in killing the Chinese people on the battlefield with the will to save the people. It was also on that day that he finally understood that he had a better choice.

A helpless scholar can fight for the people, so why can't I rebuild an army that is willing to save the people?

However, it is extremely difficult to rebuild such an army. Not to mention the more distant Yuejia army, rebuilding the Qi family army is not to train the mandarin duck array, or to train the battle formation inside according to Qi Jiguang's soldier's book. The most important thing in an army is the military soul, if the military soul can't be re-injected into it, what he has trained is just a walking corpse wearing the skin of the Qi family's army.

The Qi family army of Qi Jiguang's era had the belief of exterminating the Japanese and Tartar captives and protecting the Chinese people, and also had a sense of mission derived from it. In addition, the Qi army had high material rewards as a basis, and at the same time relied on strict military laws to limit the army's desire to fight to the killing of barbarians rather than the mutilation of the people. Because of this, the Qi family army was able to sweep away the Japanese and sweep the northern captives, even after Qi Jiguang's death, the officers he promoted and the army he established still fought against the barbarians under this belief until death.

Chen Wen firmly believes that only such an army can turn the situation around in the current extremely bad situation and rewrite the course of history!

In the fourth year of Yongli, the Ming Dynasty was in danger, and the Chinese civilization was about to suffer the greatest catastrophe in history. So much so that by the time Chen Wen was born, the aftermath of this catastrophe was far from over.

In the face of such a situation, the army that Chen Wen wants to build needs to have the faith and sense of mission to drive out the Tartars, restore China, and save the common people, and they need to have strict training, strict military laws, and make them firmly believe that as long as they are under the banner of Chen Wen, the system of leaving a name in history and wealth and glory will no longer be a dream. Only in this way can we recast the soul of the army and reproduce the strong army in the history of China in a real sense.

After this period of training, this seed unit has begun to develop a certain degree of belief in sync with the slogan of rebuilding the Qi Family Army and the battle formation and training methods of the Qi Family Army in the past few days, and has gradually improved its combat effectiveness by relying on the training that is not extremely strict.

However, in the current situation of facing the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, these are quite insufficient. In this regard, Chen Wen could only rely on improving the living conditions of his subordinates and implementing the regulations to stabilize the morale of the army, so as to carry out more arduous training in order to enhance combat effectiveness.

Chen Wen knew that his talent was not as good as Qi Jiguang's, and he couldn't even be evaluated together with many good generals who were good at using soldiers in this era, such as Tian Xiong and Jin Li, who he was about to face. Therefore, from the beginning of the army, he did the best he could in the best way he could.

Perhaps the allusion of Qi Jiguang's beheading is just a fairy tale woven by later generations to describe the strict military law of the Qi family, but from today on, he believes that the story of Chen Wen's torture will tell every officer and soldier in this army a truth.

In the face of military law, everyone is equal!

His hands broke free from the rope sleeve, and Chen Wen silently picked up his underwear and draped it on his body. The whipped blood quickly soaked and stained the cloth that obscured its existence, and this scene was completely imprinted in the hearts of everyone present.

Every officer and soldier watched all this obsessively, and they did not realize that this scene in front of them would be a story that many people here would take the trouble to tell their relatives and friends over and over again in the future, and this story would also be recorded in the history books, and the names of those who witnessed it would also be recorded in the history books.

At this time, I saw Chen Wen facing the people present and said loudly: "Gentlemen, please keep in mind that what we want to build is a righteous army like the Yue family army and the Qi family army that takes saving the people of China as their own responsibility, so we are bound to make more efforts than those battalion bastards and ruffians, because we are the king's division to protect the territory and the people, not the thieves who are remnants of the people." Only in this way can we restore the Han family as we did when this dynasty was founded, and each of us can glorify our ancestors and go down in history! ”

In a frenzied silence filled with awe and adoration, Chen Wen gave the next order.

"Keep the execution!"

In Chen Wen's view, it is the mission of this nascent Qi army to drive out the Tartars, restore China, and save the people of China, and military law is the reins that must be put on this new-style army that will eventually burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and this reins will guide this army forward and prevent it from falling into the abyss of cruelty to the people.
