"There's no need to set up an ambush in advance." Zhu Youzhen's words made Qin Yongnian even more incomprehensible, but Zhu Youzhen didn't let Qin Yongnian guess the riddle, "If the Japanese go out of Qingzhou City, I will only attack with a small force of cavalry." The Japanese have always been arrogant and indulgent, and they will not retreat. Our army marched eastward from Linzi, divided into north and south, and assembled in the east. The soldiers of the Fenwu battalion all have war horses, and the marching speed is several times that of the Japanese invaders, so they should be able to quickly intersperse, pointing directly behind the Japanese and encircling them from the north, south, and east. ”

I see, Qin Yongnian thought for a moment and nodded lightly.

Early in the morning, Zhu Youzhen was awakened by the crying outside. He got up from the bed with a faint bad feeling.

"Herald, go see what's going on." Zhu Youzhen commanded while dressing. It can't be the Wako, is it? Could it be that the Japanese have divided their troops? If the Japanese divide their troops, the Fenwu battalion will just be broken individually.

"Yes." The herald quickly ran out and quickly ran back, "Back to Lord Tongzhi, last night several soldiers climbed over the wall into the homes of the people in the city and insulted the daughter of a family in the city. The girl committed suicide, and now her family is carrying the body to the barracks to make trouble. ”

"Boom." Zhu Youzhen was so angry that he slammed the basin that washed his face on the ground. "These tofus, trained so far, have not gotten rid of the bad habit of disturbing the people. Heralds, order the battalions to investigate and see who did it. ”

"It has been found out, it is the three soldiers under the headquarters of the cavalry guard Qian Liminqian. Now they are kneeling outside the barracks, and the commander is dealing with it. The herald lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhu Youzhen, as if he had done something bad.

"That'...... Invite the commander, and I have something to say to him. Zhu Youzhen was very annoyed when such a big thing came out, and he disturbed the people before he succeeded, casting a shadow on the conquest of the Fenwu Battalion.

If the soldiers are not severely punished, they will not be able to uphold military rules and will not be able to account for the victims. But Qin Yongnian is the commander after all, the leader of the Fenwu Battalion, and his consent must be obtained.

Now the families of the victims are at the camp gate, and the soldiers are also watching, and they certainly cannot negotiate the soldiers' handling in public. Sometimes, military secrets are still necessary and must wait for a consistent result before they can be released to the public.

"Yes, Tongzhi-sama." The herald turned and ran away again.

"Your Highness, what do you say about this?" Qin Yongnian knew that Zhu Youzhen was looking for himself, it must be for the sake of illegal soldiers, in the face of the crying people, he couldn't beat, scold, annoy, or be angry, and he was anxious, just when Zhu Youzhen was looking for himself, he took the opportunity to get out.

"It must be handled in accordance with military regulations." Zhu Youzhen said it categorically, and he didn't mean to discuss it with Qin Yongnian at all.

"But...... Can we read that they are first-time offenders, and they should be severely punished with military sticks, so that they can wear their crimes and make meritorious contributions? In addition, the other party will be compensated with a certain amount of silver. "The Fenwu Battalion is Qin Yongnian's life# root, for the soldiers under his command, if he cuts off his head, Qin Yongnian is somewhat reluctant. But he has already stated that Zhu Youzhen is in charge of everything in the Fenwu Battalion's expedition this time, so the tone of his speech is a little pleading.

"Lord Commander, if you spare these soldiers today, tomorrow there will be more soldiers who will have a fluke in their hearts, and there will be more soldiers who insult women and kill good deeds, so what's the use of military regulations? Without military regulations, without iron discipline, soldiers will become a plate of loose sand. Commander, why were more than 100,000 Shandong soldiers defeated by 2,000 Japanese soldiers? Zhu Youzhen's face was gloomy, and his face was resolute.

He had never faced Qin Yongnian with such a face, and Qin Yongnian had the grace to know him by letting him train in the Fenwu Battalion, let him use it, and let him act as an agent to exterminate the Japanese. But once these three soldiers are spared lightly today, it may cause a domino effect, and then all the funds he has put into his painstaking training and the Fenwu Battalion for training may be wasted, so even in the face of Qin Yongnian, he will not give an inch.

"But after all, they are soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion, and they did not die on the battlefield." Qin Yongnian still couldn't bear it, although he also agreed with Zhu Youzhen's approach.

"Commander, Ci is not in charge of the troops. If they do something wrong, they must take responsibility for it. It was also a warning to other soldiers. Zhu Youzhen felt Qin Yongnian's looseness, in fact, he couldn't bear it, but the soldiers who committed the crime must be severely punished.

"That'...... Let Your Highness handle this matter! Qin Yongnian knew that Zhu Youzhen was to be powerful in the army, and if the soldiers were not afraid of their officers, they would be afraid of their enemies on the battlefield.

He glanced at Zhu Youzhen, ashamed and joyful; There is loss, but there is also appreciation. Ci is not in charge of the army, I am not as good as Your Highness.

"Then the commander told your Excellency to rest first, and I'll deal with it." Zhu Youzhen knew that Qin Yongnian couldn't bear it, so he didn't want him to be there, and it was uncomfortable to watch his subordinates being killed with his own eyes.

Many people in the city gathered at the gate of the barracks, and now it is a time of indignation, these people have insulted the Fenwu camp, accusing the Ming army of being a family of officials and bandits, lax military discipline, foreign war laymen, and insulting the people insiders...... Some impulsive civilians rushed over and killed the three soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, and a few soldiers stopped them, but they could not bear the increasing number of civilians, and the soldiers did not dare to stop them with all their might, and new injuries were about to occur.

"General Wu Luo is here!" Several middle-level officers of the Fenwu Battalion seemed to have met a savior, they were choked by the cries of the deceased's parents, but Qin Yongnian and Zhu Youzhen were not there, they didn't dare to call the shots, they just accompanied the careful and said good things, but the other party died of his daughter, how could a few good words be sent away?

"General, do you want to give my daughter...... Call the shots! Those beasts! The mother of the deceased rushed forward, hugged Zhu Youzhen's thigh, knelt down, snorted a handful of tears, and beat the ground rhythmically with her other hand.

The surrounding people also flocked to Zhu Youzhen, and countless angry eyes seemed to melt Zhu Youzhen away, and it seemed that it was Zhu Youzhen who insulted the people's daughter.

"Auntie, you get up first. I will give you an account, and I will get justice for your dead daughter. Zhu Youzhen finally helped the eldest lady up, with a cold face, and walked towards the soldiers kneeling outside the camp with heavy steps, "This eldest lady's daughter was harmed by you?" ”

"General, we didn't kill anyone. We're just ......" The three soldiers kept kowtowing to Zhu Youzhen, perhaps Zhu Youzhen's face made them feel bad, and before they were punished, they were so frightened that they cried bitterly.

"Brute. Rubbish. Shame on the Fenwu battalion. Zhu Youzhen really didn't know how to get rid of his hatred, he kicked the soldier a few times, and his mood was still difficult to calm down.

"Fenwu battalion, line up." Zhu Youzhen shouted, and the soldiers lined up one after another in this unusual atmosphere, standing behind their respective officers, facing the camp gate, and only the three soldiers knelt on the ground alone.

"Brothers of the Fenwu Battalion, we are the army of the Ming Dynasty, and our responsibility is to defend the people of the Ming Dynasty. If we infringe on the people, what is the difference between us and the pirates? So what are we doing in Shandong? "I don't know why, in just a few sentences today, Zhu Youzhen felt that his voice was hoarse.

"According to Article 5 of the military regulations, forced rape of women will be beheaded." Zhu Youzhen did not hesitate, in fact, he was the same as Qin Yongnian, he was reluctant to give up these soldiers, they were people from the Fenwu Battalion, and they were the seeds of his painstaking training for the future Ming Dynasty. But Zhu Youzhen couldn't express his unbearability, especially in front of all the soldiers.
