In front of him, this scene of "not knowing the truth and watching strongly", if there is a clear rumor official present, it will definitely be like a treasure, and he will ruthlessly give the commander of this army a copy.

Since the two anti-smoking wars and the war against bandits and bandits, in the eyes of domestic public opinion at that time, the reputation of the cadres and soldiers had fallen to the bottom, and in particular, the cadres and soldiers did not want to make progress, but thought about currying for their wives, which led to "more women than brave men" in the army, which was regarded as the root cause of the cadres being vulnerable to attack, leading to corruption, and being difficult to support both internally and externally.

And ideas similar to this view have endured even in later generations.

However, it is really unfair to say this, in fact, it is very common for a generation of cadres and their families to accompany the army.

The Deng father and son ran around the playground three times in a row, showing extremely strong running skills, which surprised all the shipmasters and sailors present.

Of course, they have all seen Deng Tianbao's foot strength, but it is really rare for the old man to be able to run to this point.

Deng Tianbao was in a panic, but he heard a loud shout not far away: "Who is making noise here?!" ”

When Deng Tianbao heard this familiar voice, he knew that it was the commander Zhou Ruitai who had arrived, so he immediately stopped and fell to his knees.

Deng Tianbao knelt down suddenly, the old father who was chasing him couldn't retract his momentum, and suddenly hit him, and fell down on his back, Deng Tianbao was about to reach out to help him, but it was too late, and at this moment, a figure rushed over, and helped the old man, not letting the old man fall.

Deng Tianbao saw that it was his friend Li Tiezhu who was holding his father, and threw a grateful glance at him, while Li Tiezhu quickly pouted to Zhou Ruitai, who was walking this way. Chong Deng Tianbao gave him a look.

Deng Tianbao immediately understood. Hurriedly bowed to Zhou Ruitai.

"You brute!" At this time, Deng Fuhe did not notice Zhou Ruitai's arrival. After standing firmly, he suddenly raised the stick and hit Deng Tianbao fiercely, at this time, seeing Deng Tianbao kneeling there and unable to dodge, Li Tiezhu deliberately hit Deng Tianbao's arm, so that the sturdy stick deflected from Deng Tianbao's shoulder and did not hit.

Deng Fuhe raised his stick and wanted to fight again, but Zhou Ruitai shouted, "Stop!" "Drink it. I could only put down the stick stupidly.

"Dare to ask who this old man is? How did my soldiers offend my father-in-law, and yet I should punish him like this? Zhou Ruitai came to everyone, he saw Father Deng and Deng Tianbao kneeling on the ground with cool faces, and the two women who were looking frightened and uneasy in the distance, he already understood five or six points in his heart, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a full official stand, and asked loudly.

After listening to Zhou Ruitai's question, Deng Fuhe didn't know how to answer for a while, but he just lost his stick. He sighed heavily.

Li Tiezhu hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "If you go back to your lordship, this is not ...... Uncle Deng told Tianbao a family matter. specially brought his daughter-in-law to the camp to complete his marriage, but Tianbao didn't know it before, and he had already asked for a daughter-in-law in the local area......"

Zhou Ruitai understood, and he was amused, but there was no expression on his face.

As for Deng Tianbao marrying Lin Shiying, who already had a child, as the chief, he already knew about it and approved it, but he didn't know that Deng Tianbao didn't have time to tell the family, but the family found him another daughter-in-law, which caused the "crash" accident.

"My lord! I have no way to teach my son, so I will be ashamed of the army, and I will ask the adults to punish him! Deng Fuhe glanced at his daughter-in-law Lin Guiyun, saw that she was still crying there, felt ashamed in his heart, knelt down and said to Zhou Ruitai.

"Uncle, please." Zhou Ruitai hurriedly helped Deng Fuhe up, and his mind was spinning quickly, thinking about how this matter would end.

Deng Tianbao married a local woman, in fact, he did not violate military discipline, and there is no basis to punish him.

The military service system of the Great Qian Empire was a disguised conscription system. Like the early eight-part system is actually a system of "integration of soldiers and people", after the cadres and troops enter the customs, the number of people multiplies and the number of soldiers is fixed, and it gradually evolves into a fixed number of men selected from various ministries and subordinates to serve as soldiers. The youth brigade soldiers are recruited from fixed military households, and compared with civilian households, military households can be exempted from money and food taxes after they are discharged. In practice, especially in wartime, the soldiers of the Youth Brigade not only came from outside the army, but also recruited from other members of society, and there were all kinds of people.

Once a soldier is recruited, it becomes a lifelong occupation. There was no clear and fixed retirement system in the Great Qian Empire. Although there are sometimes actions in the cadres and armies (mainly youth brigades) to "eliminate the old and weak and make up for the strong and strong," there has never been a stipulation on how old and what is weak, still less on how many years to carry out a retrenchment and replenishment operation. As a result, the ages of the soldiers varied. Generally speaking, the youngest of the soldiers is 17 years old, and the oldest is 60 years old, and most of them marry wives and have children. The families of the soldiers of the cadres and soldiers all lived in the camp with the army, or rented houses nearby. Unlike the military camps of later generations, the soldiers lived in a centralized residence 24 hours a day. At that time, the life of the soldiers was like that of later generations, except for going out to fight, the barracks did not fire, and the soldiers went home to eat. Once the drill was too late to go home, the family members sent food. Around the venue of the exercise, their wives and children often watched from the sidelines. Having dinner with his wife and children during the break is another scenery compared to the drill.

In fact, the tradition of female family members joining the army can be traced back to the Qi Dynasty, even the "Yue Family Army", which is known for its bravery and good fighting and not disturbing the people. What's more, sex has always been a big problem in the army where men are crowded, and in addition to gold and silver in the rewards for soldiers who have rewarded generals throughout the ages, women are women. At least they did not condone the soldiers to rob the people's daughters, even after the defeat, they did not forget to flee with their families, even if they went abroad, some people were even willing to stay as "local sons-in-law", the good quality of the men of the Celestial Empire in this era was enough to make many men of a certain generation of "little three" and "little four" bloom everywhere ashamed.

Not to mention whether it is appropriate to use the military regulations of a certain world to demand the soldiers of the Great Qianguo, even if it is to find women to accompany the army, according to the current social moral standards. In addition to being intolerable by the class of scholars who "do not work hard" and "do not distinguish between grains" but occupy the moral high ground. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is not a bad behavior. You must know that in this social environment where the concept of family comes first. Having family members with the army will only make the front-line soldiers feel more at ease in the military, instead of being absent-minded because their families are far away, and making people feel at the front line and in the rear, which is not conducive to the stability of the military's morale. It was because the shipmaster and navy soldiers married local women in the Ryukyus, and no one thought there was anything wrong.

It's just that today's "crash" scene really didn't make anyone think of it.

"Deng Tianbao! Are you guilty? Zhou Ruitai had a plan in his heart, deliberately straightened his face, and shouted.

"Small...... Convicted! Deng Tianbao prostrate on the ground. He prostrated and said.

"Deng Tianbao! You have a daughter-in-law at home, and you are here to trick a woman from a good family into committing to you! If this is passed out, how will the people of the Ryukyus think of the soldiers of our Heavenly Empire? You deceived your father because you were unfilial, and it was for unrighteousness to abandon your wife and not marry! To ruin the reputation of the camp is to be disloyal! It is unkind to deceive a woman to marry herself! Disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice, you have taken it all, it can be described as an unforgivable sin! Zhou Ruitai shouted. Come! Tie him up for me! Twenty lashes! Set an example! ”

Hearing that Zhou Ruitai ordered Deng Tianbao to be beaten with twenty lashes, Li Tiezhu and many of the shipmasters and sailors who were good with Deng Tianbao were all taken aback. Deng Fuhe was even more surprised.

Lin Guiyun, who was on the side, heard Zhou Ruitai's shouting order. The flower changed miserably, and immediately stopped crying. And Lin Shiying, a Ryukyu woman standing not far away, was pale and looked at all this blankly, her hands and feet were cold, and she didn't know what to do.

Two of Zhou Ruitai's guards stepped forward and dragged Deng Tianbao up from the ground without saying anything, came to a wooden stake, took off his shirt, and tied him up with a wooden stake.

"My lord, this ...... Tianbao ...... He...... I didn't deceive anyone! That's what you want me to do! Didn't the woman write an essay? Li Tiezhu said hurriedly.

He really didn't understand why Zhou Ruitai, who had always taken good care of Deng Tianbao, had to deal with Deng Tianbao so ruthlessly this time.

Not to mention twenty whips, ordinary people can't stand five whips!

Zhou Ruitai snorted, did not answer, but turned his head to a guard and shouted an order: "Call me!" ”

When a guard saw Zhou Ruitai give a death order, he didn't dare to disobey, and with some embarrassment, he took a horse whip made of cowhide, stepped forward and whispered in Deng Tianbao's ear: "Brother Tianbao, I'm sorry." ”

Deng Tianbao's face turned pale and nodded.

The executing guard took a few steps back, raised his whip high, and slammed it at Deng Tianbao's back.

He usually has a good relationship with Deng Tianbao, and this time he came to the execution, but he also wanted to take care of Deng Tianbao, his whip seemed to be thrown loudly, the momentum was terrifying, but the strength was not heavy, but Rao was that he did not have a heavy hand, this whip was whipped on Deng Tianbao's back, and the flesh was immediately rolled, and blood and light appeared.

Deng Tianbao only felt a numbness in his back, followed by a hot stinging pain, although he had been prepared and gritted his teeth, but this whip hit his body, he still couldn't help screaming in pain.

Just as the executing guard raised the whip and was about to draw the second whip, with a heart-rending cry, a woman separated from the crowd, desperately rushed to Deng Tianbao's side, hugged him tightly, and used her body to block Deng Tianbao's already bleeding back.

Deng Tianbao felt Lin Shiying's familiar warm atmosphere, and his heart was surging, wanting to tell her not to be whipped for herself and leave quickly, but her throat was choked somehow.

At this time, the guard's second whip had been withdrawn, and when he saw Lin Shiying, who was suddenly blocking in front of Deng Tianbao, the guard was startled, his hand tightened, and he suddenly retracted the whip, but the whip was easy to retract, Rao is his whip skills are superb, although most of the strength on the whip has been removed, but the hard whip tip still swept on Lin Shiying's back with a "snap", instantly swept away a large piece of clothing on her back, and left a bruise red mark on her snow-white back.

Deng Tianbao heard the sound of the whip falling on Lin Shiying's back, felt her body twitch, and was heartbroken for a while, and howled loudly.

"Don't hit her! Don't hit her! Hit me! Hit me! ”

"A-Ying! Don't be stupid! Don't be stupid! You go! Let's go! ”

The guards stopped in a bit of a panic, looking at Zhou Ruitai, Zhou Ruitai stole a glance at Deng Fuhe, only to see the old man looking at him, his eyes were full of pleading, knowing that his "bitter plan" had worked. I can't help but feel a little proud.

"A-Ying! I beg you! Come on! Let's go! Deng Tian couldn't help but arch Lin Shiying's face with his head. But Lin Shiying still hugged him tightly. Won't let go.

The execution guard saw that Zhou Ruitai did not show it, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but at this moment, he saw another woman pounce over, grabbed the whip in his hand, and tried hard to snatch the whip down.

"My lord! My lord! He who does not know is not guilty! Please spare my husband! Lin Guiyun held the whip stiffly, preventing the guards from beating again, and pleaded loudly to Zhou Ruitai.

"Bold! How can military law be child's play?! Zhou Ruitai pretended to be angry and got up and said. Hit me hard! ”

"My lord! Please! Spare my husband! I am his daughter-in-law, he has been out to sea for many years, and he hasn't been home for a long time! Didn't know I married him. If he knew, he wouldn't have married here! Those who don't know are not guilty, beg the adults to let my husband go! ”

"You haven't been through the door yet? He doesn't know? Zhou Ruitai pretended to be surprised and said, "What do you say about this?" ”

"Lord Qiyu! It's all old and small, isn't it! Father Deng ran to Zhou Ruitai, knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and said, "The little old man has never informed the child." found a family for him in his hometown, and did this for him without authorization. This time, he brought his daughter-in-law to the camp to complete his marriage, but he never thought that he would marry a daughter-in-law here! Indeed, he did not know it! Ask the adults to spare the children! ”

"It's easy for you to say 'he doesn't know', but what about this woman's life?" Zhou Ruitai got up and pointed to Lin Shiying, who was hugging Deng Tianbao tightly, "So many brothers in my camp are married to local women, if your son marries someone else, abandons her, and passes on the generals, how do the local people think of my Heavenly Empire's generals?" ”

"My lord! Xiao Lao never wants Xiao Er to take a break from her! I hope you will see it! Deng Fuhe kowtowed again and again, "Seeing that this girl is also a very affectionate person, I want Xiao'er to marry her together!" It's just cheaper for this kid! ”

"Are you willing, the daughter-in-law you told him, I'm afraid you won't be willing?" Zhou Ruitai said, his eyes turned to Lin Guiyun.

"My lord! The little girl willing! I just ask the adults to spare my husband! Lin Guiyun hissed, "It's just multiple sisters!" I beg you to spare my husband! ”

Hearing her plea, Li Tiezhu glanced at his comrades and friends, then knelt on one knee with his fists clenched, and said loudly: "Bid for your lordship, for the sake of Tianbao's many merits, spare him!" ”

"I beg you to spare the heavens!"

The shipmaster and sailors fell to their knees in an instant, and for a while, there were voices pleading for Deng Tianbao everywhere.

Seeing so many people pleading, Zhou Ruitai knew that the time had come, so he pretended to hesitate and waited for a while before ordering Deng Tianbao to be unbound.

The guards stepped forward to untie Deng Tianbao, Deng Tianbao's body instantly slumped and fell into Lin Shiying's arms, Lin Shiying sobbed in a low voice, while gently wiping the wound on Deng Tianbao's back with a handkerchief.

Lin Xiuyun looked at this scene, and was moved in her heart, but she couldn't help but be jealous, but she knew that this was not the time to be jealous, so she stepped forward quickly, came to Deng Tianbao and squatted down, also took out a handkerchief, and silently wiped Deng Tianbao's wound with Lin Shiying.

After a while, after the dressing was completed, Deng Tianbao also relieved himself, and the two women held his arm one by one and helped him up.

Deng Tianbao turned his head to look at the two of them, and saw that the two women were both teary-stained, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Li Tiezhu sensed Deng Tianbao's embarrassment, and hurriedly stepped forward to carry Deng Tianbao on his back, and sent Deng Tianbao into the barracks with several comrades.

Lin Guiyun watched Deng Tianbao's figure disappear at the door, turned her head to look at Lin Shiying, and happened to meet Lin Shiying's gaze.

The two women looked at each other like this for a while, Lin Shiying lowered her head and bowed deeply to Lin Guiyun, Lin Guiyun was slightly stunned, and also returned the gift to her.

Deng Tianbao, who was already lying on the bed, happened to see this scene through the window, and a big stone in his heart finally landed. Thinking back to the scene just now, his heart warmed for a while, and even the wounds on his body became less painful.

Although he was whipped so badly, he now figured out why Zhou Ruitai, who had always taken good care of him, treated him like this, and his heart was full of gratitude to Zhou Ruitai.

A whip can be exchanged for the blessing of Qi people, and for him, it is definitely worth it.

At this time, Deng Tianbao was immersed in happiness, and he even felt that even if he was the emperor in the Forbidden City, all the happiness was nothing more than that. He didn't know that everything just now was all watched by the two people standing on the mountain in the distance.

"It's really interesting to have this one today!" Dai Zongqian put down the monocular in his hand with some amusement and said to Liu Chaopei.

"The rewards and punishments are clear, the way to govern the army is also, and the name of the ship's administration and navy can fight, and it is not for no reason." Liu Chaopei nodded and said, "The naval soldiers stationed in Ryukyu have settled in the local area, if there is a foreign enemy invading Ryukyu, they will be able to fight to the death, and if Japan invades Ryukyu as it did back then, I am afraid it will be impossible." ”

"With family members on the side, soldiers can rest assured that the military will be able to marry locally, which is indeed a long-term way to stick to Ryukyu. The sailors have Lin Wenxiang, how lucky! Dai Zongqian thought of the families of his subordinates who had already died, and his face darkened again.

If you don't take revenge, how will you face their families in the future? (To be continued......)
