After Yue Fei heard Huang Zong talk about Zhang Xian's crime, he couldn't help but have a headache. Whether it is a private prisoner of a boss or a private release of rebels, it is a serious crime, and the crime should be punished.

But it was absolutely impossible for Yue Fei to kill Zhang Xian. Not to mention that Zhang Xian was simply worried about his own safety, so he violated military law desperately.

Ji Qian clasped his fists and said, "Yue Tuan Lian Envoy, although Deputy Zhang Tuan Lian Envoy has violated military law, but if he has contributed to Ying Tianfu, it is better to write down his sins for the time being, and let him atone for his sins." ”

Other generals also pleaded for Zhang Xian.

Before Yue Fei could answer, Li Bashao walked out of the gentry queue, turned to face the gentry, and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, although Deputy Zhang Tuanlian acted recklessly today, he had no selfish intentions. It's just that he was worried about the safety of Yue Tuanlian's training envoys, so he made the move of releasing the rebels privately. Today, he locked the old man in the barracks, and the old man not only did not hate him, but appreciated him even more for being a good man who took life and righteousness seriously. Who of us doesn't want to have a brother like Deputy Tuanlian Zhang? Besides, although he released hundreds of rebels, aren't those hundreds of rebels locked up again? A few days ago, during the pacification of the rebellion, Deputy Zhang regimental training envoy made meritorious deeds, which everyone can see. At this moment, the four towns are uneven, and the thieves are swarming, and we can't let the Protectors cut off their left arm. Do you think so? ”

These gentry were locked up in the barracks by Zhang Xian for half an afternoon today, and it would be false to say that they did not hate Zhang Xian. After all, these gentry are frightened birds, who have just breathed a sigh of relief from the military rebellion of the previous days, and have been locked up by their own protectors.

The most hateful thing is that Zhang Xian didn't know what kind of ecstasy method he used, so he let his own children dare to lock his elders in the camp tent regardless of their relatives and humility. Although I knew that they would not kill themselves, I really couldn't stand this grievance. This is the following offense.

But hearing Li Bashao say this, they immediately understood that Zhang Xian must not be killed. Not to mention anything else, Yue Fei had already said that he and Zhang Xian shared the charge just now, so it was naturally impossible for them to kill Yue Fei as well. In that case, it must be these gentry who will be killed.

What's more, Li Bashao reminded them in his words that Ying Tianfu seems to be calm now, but it is actually not safe. The wanderers of Sixiang are eyeing the prosperous Yingtianfu, and there are also ordnance workshop craftsmen in the city who are trying to cause chaos. If Yue Fei left with his brothers, within a few days, Ying Tianfu would become a blood city.

Thinking about it again, his own children can obey the orders of the people's army within a few days, doesn't it show the ability of Yue Fei and Zhang Xian to command the army?

So all the gentry echoed Li Bashao's words, and they all pleaded with Yue Fei.

Yue Fei set his eyes on Huang Zong again. Huang Zong knew that he couldn't do it if he didn't express his position. According to Huang Zong's idea, Zhang Xian can not be killed, but he must be severely punished.

Huang Zongjinshi was born, although he has traveled the world and made friends with heroes, he is still a scholar in his bones. What he values most is rules, law and discipline. Huang Zong has always felt that the reason why the Emperor Song Dynasty has come to this point today is precisely because the emperor took the lead in disrupting the law and order.

In the past few days in Tianfu, Huang Zong also has a preliminary understanding of the generals of the Protector Army. He knows very well that Zhang Xian has both civil and military skills, and his bearing is extraordinary, and if he competes on the battlefield, he will be no less than a good general at the beginning of the country.

But because of this, Huang Zongcai thought that Zhang Xian should be punished more severely. It is important to know that everyone is equal before military law. Even if Yue Fei tried his best to protect Zhang Xian, he couldn't succumb to Yue Fei's might.

Thinking of this, Huang Zong said loudly, "Deputy Zhang Tuanlian Lian Envoy acted today, although it is excusable, but the crime is unforgivable!" Among the first army, military law is the largest, and since Deputy Zhang's regimental training has caused chaos in military law, it must be dealt with by military law. Otherwise, what is the use of military law? If everyone relies on their own merits to act recklessly, then what is the difference between the Protector Army and those rebellious soldiers? It is also hoped that the Yue regiment will train to make military discipline strict. ”

Yue Fei and Huang Zong got along for a few days and deeply admired Huang Zong's ability to govern. But at this moment, he was a little angry with Huang Zong, and secretly scolded Huang Zong for being a little pedantic.

Seeing that Huang Zong was dead or alive and did not spare Zhang Xian, Yue Chuan and Ji Qian had a mouth, and they wanted to scold Huang Zong. Xu Qing's hand was quick, and he covered Yue's mouth. Ji Qian was twisted by Hua Ruyu behind her, and whispered, "Fool, don't make trouble for Brother Yue." ”

Ji Qian reacted and immediately understood Hua Ruyu's intentions. You must know that the Emperor and Song Dynasty have always used literature to dominate the military. At this moment, Huang Zong is the prefect of the Yingtian Dynasty, and his status is still above Yue Fei. Although Huang Zong has always respected Yue Fei as his boss, it does not mean that Yue Fei can instruct Huang Zong. Not to mention the generals of the Protector Army. Besides, Yue Fei had already told Ji Qian and others that the Emperor Song Dynasty would not be abolished for the time being. If Yue Zhuan Jiqian scolded Huang Zong just now, it would only make the scene even more out of control.

Yue Fei said in an aggravated tone, "Dare to ask what Governor Huang wants?"

Huang Zong clenched his fists and said, "According to the discipline of the Protector Army, Zhang Xian should be killed to warn the army." But there are mistakes that must be corrected, and meritorious deeds must also be rewarded. A few days ago, Zhang Xian had a meritorious service in quelling the chaos, but Yue Tuan's training envoy asked him to serve as a deputy regimental training envoy, which was already a reward for Zhang Xian's merits. Therefore, the previous credit cannot exonerate Zhang Xian. But today, before going out of the city, Zhang Xian led his troops to quell the civil strife in the armory workshop in one fell swoop, so that the people of Yingtian could avoid a catastrophe. That's a big deal. It is a great crime to imprison me and Elder Li in the barracks. The merits and crimes are offset, and I suggest that Yue Tuanlian revoke Zhang Xian's post as deputy regimental training envoy and re-establish military discipline by 50 military staffs. ”

Yue Fei let out a sigh of relief. "Governor Huang's proposal is very good. Zhang Xian was dismissed from the post of deputy regimental training envoy, but because the army could not be without a deputy post for a day, Zhang Xian was still temporarily appointed as deputy regimental training envoy. As for the fifty military staffs, I have a word in advance, so I will share it with Zhang Xian. Twenty-five scepters were struck each. ”

Since Yue Fei had already said this, Huang Zong was not too worried. At the request of Li Bashao and the squires, on the grounds that Yue Fei had just recovered from the cane injury some time ago, and could no longer be punished with the cane, he asked Zhang Xian to send the fifty military staff for the time being.

After dealing with the embarrassing Zhang Xian, the gentry immediately withdrew from the barracks and returned to their homes. Only Li Bashao and Huang Zong stayed.

Ji Qian and others congratulated Zhang Xian one after another, and asked Zhang Xian to invite everyone to have a drink. Zhang Xian smiled and agreed one by one. At this time, Huang Zong walked in front of Zhang Xian. "General Zhang won't blame me for having to convict you, right?"

Zhang Xian hurriedly said, "What did Lord Huang say?" I, Zhang Xian, am not an unreasonable person. I know that Lord Huang is for the good of the people's army. ”

Huang Zong observed his words and found that Zhang Xian really did not mean to hold a grudge against himself. Huang Zong secretly laughed at his heart. If Zhang Xian is an unreasonable person, how can he restrain himself and plead guilty.

However, Huang Zong still clenched his fists and said, "General Zhang understands the righteousness, and Huang deeply admires it." In fact, it's not that Huang and General Zhang can't get along. Instead, Huang Mou has always believed that the security of a country lies in law and discipline. The strength of an army lies in military discipline. If the law and discipline are not strict, the country will perish. Danger. If the military discipline is not strict, the army will be destroyed. Huang believes that our People's Protector Army has just been established, and military discipline should be given priority. Strive to train an iron-blooded division that is completely different from other armies in the Great Song Dynasty. If the Protector Army does not show a different appearance from other Song armies, how can we gather the hearts of the Central Plains people, and how can we deal with the hundreds of thousands of Jurchen iron horsemen? ”

As soon as Huang Zong's words came out, Zhang Xian's last bit of dissatisfaction with Huang Zong disappeared. Yue Fei held Zhang Xian's hand with one hand and Huang Zong's hand with the other, and laughed loudly, "I was secretly blaming Brother Huang for being pedantic just now, and only then did I realize that I blamed Brother Huang for my mistake." ”

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhang Xian and Huang Zong naturally reconciled. There was no contradiction between the two. Zhang Xian is not a person with a small belly. Huang Zong is not taking revenge for personal gain. Besides, he still changed a little just now, and he didn't have to behead Zhang Xian to correct military discipline.

By the time the armies had settled, it was already dark. Li Bashao and Huang Zong still did not leave the military tent. Yue Fei knew that the two must have something to discuss, so he immediately came with Zhang Xianzhihun and the others.

The reason why he shouted Zhihun was because Yue Fei already regarded Zhihun as his staff officer.

Huang Zong and Li Bashao are also smart people, and as soon as they saw that Yue Fei had brought Zhihun here, they knew that Yue Fei had already regarded Zhihun as a cronie. Suddenly, between the words, Zhihun paid more attention to him.

Zhihun tried not to speak. After all, when he first arrived in Yingtian, he didn't know everything, so it was inconvenient to express his opinions rashly.

Li Ba Shao looked at Zhang Xian happily and asked, "Deputy Regiment Training Envoy Zhang, what about the weapons we collected in the armory workshop today?" Take it out and let Pengju and Master Zhihun see it. ”

Zhang Xian immediately walked into his military tent in person and carefully took out two round iron balls. Yue Fei was about to stretch out his hand to take it, but Zhang Xian said, "Big brother, be careful. This thing will blow up when it says it's going to be fried. ”

Yue Fei was taken aback and asked, "Could it be a thunderbolt?" ”

Huang Zong first nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "This is indeed a thunderbolt, but it is more powerful than the thunderbolt used by the Song army in the past. ”

Zhang Xian said, "Big brother doesn't know. Today, there is civil strife in the ordnance workshop, with more than 800 armed craftsmen on one side and only more than 100 craftsmen on the other. But it was with this thunderstorm that more than 100 craftsmen drove more than 800 craftsmen out of the armory. Big brother, please look! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xian got up and walked out of the tent, lit the fire line on the iron ball with a fire sickle, and then threw the fire line a few feet away with a flick of his hand. In the night, I saw a flash of fire, and there was a bang, which frightened the Protectors who were just about to rest, thinking that the craftsmen in the armory workshop had come to the barracks, and they came out of the camp to watch.

This is also the Protector Army that does not have a curfew, and during the day they go to the armory workshop to quell the chaos, and they are familiar with this sound, if they change to other armies, maybe this sound will blow up the camp.

Yue Fei felt that he had heard the sound and fire of the thunder countless times, and when the thunder exploded, Yue Fei blurted out, "Hand grenade." ”

Zhang Xian smiled, "The name of the eldest brother is apt. ”

Yue Fei walked to the place where the thunder exploded, looked at the power of the explosion, and found that it was indeed much more powerful than the thunder he had seen before. Yue Fei bent down and picked up a piece of shattered iron on the ground, and said thoughtfully, "According to this power, it can already be lethal to the war horse." ”

Zhihun nodded, and said with some emotion, "When I was guarding the city in Zhongshan, I also used the Sky Thunder. But the power is very small, that is, it is similar to fireworks. At first, it can also scare off the golden dog war horse. Later, they got used to hearing it, and they didn't care about the sound of thunder. If Zhongshan Mansion has this kind of grenade, the golden dog will not want to break it. ”

Yue Fei saw that Zhihun had been worried about the fall of Zhongshan Mansion, and hurriedly said, "Why should the master worry. The golden dog took the Zhongshan Mansion. Let's take it back from the golden dog. By the way, Zhang Xian, do you know which craftsman in the armory workshop made this grenade? Take me to see it. ”

Zhang Xian shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Big brother, I didn't find out about this." When I led the troops into the armory, the craftsmen who had not made a mess were like frightened birds. Although when I put down the rebellion a few days ago, I met with several supervisors of the armory. It's a pity that today, all those overseers were killed by the rebellious craftsmen. In addition, my face was stern and I looked like I was going to kill someone, and no one dared to speak in front of my horse. But I put all the troublemakers in the yamen prison. The craftsmen who did not make a disturbance still remained in the armory. The person who made this grenade must still be in the armory. ”

Yue Fei stood up and said loudly, "Go." Come with me to the Armory. Be sure to find this craftsman who makes grenades. ”
