"There are deserters again!"

Early in the morning, just after breakfast, Li Ziyuan's report made Zhu Yifeng stunned at first,

There are deserters!

This is also expected, after all, there are so many people, what they want is only to recruit recruits, the ten taels of settling-in expenses, so, there are always some people, after receiving the settling-in allowance of ten taels, they ran away overnight, although the future salary is four taels per month, but after all, not everyone is willing to eat the "severed salary". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"When the situation stabilizes in the future and we have our own territory, this recruitment must be guaranteed by the chief of the army, and then we will be re-seated!"

After finalizing the method of recruiting troops in the future, Zhu Yifeng said coldly.

"Deserters should be beheaded!"

A simple sentence came out of Zhu Yifeng's mouth, in order to make a show, he even gave an order to arrest, in fact, in his heart, he didn't care whether these guys ran away or not, the so-called "arrest of deserters" was more of a symbol - after all, what he now has is only Wuchang County, well, and Huangzhou on the other side, which is ten miles out of the city, and whether anyone buys his account is a matter of two words.

Although Zhu Yifeng did not mind establishing his prestige through strict military laws, and although he clearly knew that the combat effectiveness of the modern army lies in the army, and the maintenance of military discipline lies in the "military stick," he must not give people the impression that he cares about human life, otherwise it will be like the army in ancient times -- the strictness of the main general will lead to a military mutiny.

In the final analysis, it is necessary to establish a military law in which all people are equal. The reason why the strict military law in ancient times gave rise to military mutiny was that its implementation was arbitrary and individualized, while the reason why modern military law can give rise to combat effectiveness is because of its institutionalization and fairness, at least in name, everyone is equal in front of military law, and it is precisely because of this that soldiers are more afraid of military law than death.

Perhaps we should consider setting up a gendarmerie and getting a military law...... Just when Zhu Yifeng was thinking about it in his heart, he noticed that Li Ziyuan looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, not to mention him, other people were also going around Zhu Yifeng these days, looking like they didn't dare to ask.

"Zilin, if you have anything to say, just ask directly!"

Zhu Yifeng, who knew that the other party had something to ask, said bluntly.

"Great, my lord, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, the four people you ordered to kill were just to bite under the threat of death, so what should I do?"

For the past two days, this question has been pressed in Li Ziyuan's heart, although he had witnessed his act of killing people and seizing the army with fake hands, but he didn't expect that he would kill the two of them directly without even asking.

"Then count them unlucky!"

Without thinking about it, Zhu Yifeng replied casually, he really didn't care if those four people did it, for him, all he needed was to give an explanation to the people, and at the same time use the heads of those four people to deter the big guys, so as to establish the prestige of military law. Otherwise, who will listen to what you say?

"How can that be done, then aren't they unjustly killed?"

"Zilin, it doesn't matter if they bite each other, it doesn't matter if those four people did it, the important thing is that when four people violate military law, they are actually questioning my authority and shaking my prestige, they can violate military law now, **** women, look at this fact is normal, military tyranny is normal, but now they question military law, then they will violate military orders on the battlefield in the future, and it will be too late to say anything then, so when it is found that the army has this tendency, It is necessary to take thunderbolt measures to regain prestige and maintain military law, only in this way will they fear military law on the battlefield in the future and even die, and only in this way will they carry out orders without discount, understand? ”

His eyes widened in surprise, Li Ziyuan almost couldn't believe his ears, but he pondered for a long time, and when he raised his head again, he bowed deeply to Zhu Yifeng.

No matter what reason he had, in order to prevent the army from collapsing, he must be corrected on the spot, and if he spares one person, the others will follow, and if the lord continues to shock everyone with thunderbolts that day, I am afraid that chaos in the army has appeared today. ”

"That's right!"

Nodding vigorously, the corners of Zhu Yifeng's lips lifted slightly, looked at Li Ziyuan and said.

"That's why there is a reason not to be in charge of the army, in fact, the same is true for governing the army, and the same is true for governing the people!"

"The same is true of governing the people? What do you mean by that? ”

Li Ziyuan's eyes jumped slightly, and he looked at Zhu Yifeng in surprise, and his mind immediately thought of "Lu's Spring and Autumn? "The ancient monarchs and the people, benevolence and righteousness govern them, love profit and peace, and faithfulness to guide them", he understands that this mercy is not in charge of the army, but what is the truth of "mercy does not govern the people"?

"Ah...... Well, how's our conscription going? How many soldiers can this Wuchang raise? Five thousand, or three thousand? ”

Seeing that Li Ziyuan looked like he was looking for the root cause, Zhu Yifeng, who had no intention of discussing this issue with him now, naturally didn't bother to explain his feelings, but directly diverted the topic and asked about conscription, after all, it was not long now, and in two days, after the situation in Wuchang County was stabilized, he would have to return to Huangzhou Mansion across the river and start the "great cause" of sweeping Huangzhou.

"Uncle! Okay, enjoy the stuttering! ”

"Alright, alright! Uncle"

……

The tattered beggar sat weakly on the side of the road, begging for passers-by, and even if there were well-wishers, there was probably nothing they could do. Although it is said that there is still grain sold in this grain store, the sky-high price of grain is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Since the month entered the first month, the bandits swept the place erosion, and the grain price in Wuchang County is also sitting on the ground, and the grain road in Hunan and other places is broken, and the grain price is naturally like sitting on the "Sky Monkey" like a soaring sky, and the life of the ordinary people in the city is becoming more and more difficult.

The life of the common people is sad, and the lives of those beggars who wander here from Henan, Anhui and Shaanxi are even more sad, and the reason why there are so many beggars in this Wuchang city is also simple. In recent years, with more people and fewer people, coupled with small-scale floods and droughts in the northern land every year, a large number of victims were forced to become beggars because they could not afford to buy food to survive.

Fleeing their homeland due to disasters may be a farewell for many people, many of whom eventually starve and die on the way to flee the famine and beg. Although Wuchang is a small city, it has become the only way for many beggars to go south to beg for a living because of its proximity to the water and land wharves.

"Dad, I'm not hungry......"

In the dilapidated and half-collapsed land temple outside the city, a young man with a vegetable-faced face forcibly resisted his saliva and pushed the ball of rice to his father. For the two of them, everything that used to be was like a dream, just like the silver held by the meat eaten outside Huangzhou City, and in the end, it was all robbed by the family.

"Son, you eat, dad is not hungry!"

Qian Fakui said this in his mouth, but when he turned his head, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and went out to beg for this meal for half a day, it was not easy to beg for this mouthful, after all, now this Wuchang County is occupied by bandits.

finally escaped to this Wuchang County, but I never thought that before it was stable for a few days, this Wuchang County was occupied by the bandits again.

"Daddy......"

"If you want to eat, you can eat, what are you shouting, why don't you let people live in peace......"

After scolding in his mouth, Qian Fakui shook his hand and walked out of the land temple in anger, although the person walked out, but the stomach was beating the drum.

Hungry!

His stomach kept screaming, but his face was full of sadness, now the bandits are in the city, the life of the common people is not as good as day by day, and there are a few people who will be willing to give a mouthful of food, it doesn't matter if they are hungry, but if Lei Lei is hungry...... Thinking of his daughter-in-law who starved to death on the road, thinking of his daughter-in-law's reluctant eyes looking at his son, he gritted his teeth and said to his son.

"Lei Lei, dad will go out first!"

But he walked outside......

Snow, it rains a lot.

The heavy snow blocked the traffic, the ice blocked the river, the heavy snow on the wharf naturally seemed very idle, but in the open space at the wharf, you can also see people lining up, there is a banner written "expelling the Tartars" fluttering, this is a recruiting point, now, most of the people of Wuchang have seen the difference, this "bandits" difference, they neither forcibly Raf, let alone burn the house to threaten, just erect the flag to recruit soldiers, the silver given, is unheard of four taels of silver, not to mention anything else, Just the extravagant who became a soldier and paid ten taels of settling-in allowance first, I don't know how many people were attracted.

"Ten taels, ten taels ......"

With a settling-in allowance of ten taels of silver in his mouth, Qian Fakui's eyes in the recruiting team seemed to only have the settling-in allowance of ten taels, as well as four taels of silver per month in the future.

"As long as he has this money, Lei Lei can not only eat enough, but also read books......"

Once again, Qian Fakui, who has been wandering for more than a thousand miles, is full of expectations for his future life......
