Chapter 55: What Thou Are Fighting?
(The first update, brothers, I'm sorry, the chores are delayed, code word code word)
From the day the training officially began, Ye Kai repeatedly ordered the problem of desertion, once it was found that he would not be spared, not only would he be wiped out, but even his direct superiors would be severely punished, the reason why this order was written in black and white in the "Military Codex" was to convey it to everyone clearly, being a deserter is equivalent to a dead end, and no one dared to cross the thunder pool for more than ten days.
But at this juncture, how could such a thing happen, it seems that under the heavy punishment, there are still people stepping on the thunder line.
Compared with the Beiyang Army, the number of deserters in the Praetorian Guard is already a big miracle, you must know that in that era, in a year, it would be good to have less than fifty deserters in a town, and the number of local new troops with worse military discipline was even more shocking, but Ye Kai was obviously not satisfied with such a result, and his request was to completely eliminate it! In his troops, such black sheep must not be allowed.
"When did it happen?" After reacting, Ye Kai asked first.
"It's late this evening." The military soldier replied in 1510, "The lord is not here this afternoon, and the villain will report as soon as he sees that the lord is back." ”
He attended the Beiyang Army's division meeting this morning, and when he rushed back, it was already completely dark, so naturally it was impossible to know it at the first time, nodding Ye Kai then asked, "Where is that person locked up now?" ”
"In the barracks of the Judge Advocate General's Office."
"Lead the way!"
Ye Kai let out a low snort, and then walked quickly to the Military Justice Department, with a solemn look on his face all the way, it seemed that another tricky trouble came to the door
In the barracks of the Judge Advocate General's Office, it is airtight, except for two small windows that can let in the light, and there is also a dark oil lamp hanging on the roof, so the whole room has been in a state of insufficient light, which makes the hearts of people who are here feel very depressed.
As the military justice department of the Praetorian Guard, which specializes in punishing the officers who caused the crime, there are only high walls and darkness in the military justice department, and during this time, soldiers who have made mistakes continue to come here to be punished, even confined, and over time, these barracks are also known as Yama, everyone is afraid to stay, and those who enter often have no good fruit to eat.
In the dark room, a young soldier in military uniform lay on the ground, trembling, his face full of panic and fear, the restraint suit he wore greatly limited his athletic ability, the toughness of ten cowhides, which made him unable to move from head to toe, and behind his head, two swarthy barrels were always aimed at him, and it was clear that he had been treated as a dangerous person.
Today, several battalions of the Praetorian Guard began routine cross-country running training, and during that time, he took advantage of the late day to escape from the barracks, but unfortunately before he could run a few miles, he was first discovered by soldiers standing on a high observation post, and then he was arrested and tied up.
The Praetorian Guards were full of orders, and even the officers were treated equally, so he also knew how big the disaster he had caused today was
Zhonghe, the chief of the military justice department, sat on the main seat of the room, looking at the deserter who was full of horror on his face, and made a mistake for a while, if he simply violated military regulations, locked up or rewarded with a few whips, these are all easy to say, once human life is involved, Rao is iron-faced and selfless, and he has to think about it carefully, thinking about it for a long time, and there is no result, so he has to send someone to ask the supreme commander Ye Kai.
"Bang!"
The door was opened from the outside, and a row of heavily loaded guards rushed out, and then Ye Kai walked in, and the heavy footsteps made the people lying on the ground suddenly frightened, thinking that the execution of the gendarmerie had arrived.
"Lord Commander, you're finally here."
Seeing that Ye Kai had arrived, Zhonghe, who had been waiting for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and hurriedly got up from his seat to make a place, but Ye Kai didn't mean to sit down at all, and still stood in place.
"What's going on?"
Glancing at the frightened person on the ground, Ye Kai asked with a straight face.
"In the evening today, the sentry on duty found a deserter, and then the gendarmerie chased for a long time, and finally caught it" Zhonghe described the whole process in detail, Ye Kai listened to the eyes more and more solemn, and the luck in his heart fell short, it seems that there are still people who can't open their eyes and hit the muzzle.
"Good commander, this is the identity information of the deserter, just transferred from the Praetorian Guard archives, you have seen it."
Taking the file bag from Zhonghe's hand, Ye Kai opened it and looked at it, and then slowly moved to the front of the deserter.
"Your name is Zhang Xiaoguang?" Ye Kai asked coldly, compared the photos on the file, and then locked on the person in front of him, his eyes looked a little terrifying.
"Yes, the villain is" The man was hesitant, the intense fear made him incoherent, and his head always hung below Ye Kai's knees.
"Good commander, the ins and outs of this matter have been investigated, this person is indeed a deserter, I don't know how to deal with it, is it true?"
Tadawa did not say his last words, but everyone knew that the fate of the deserter would be extremely miserable, and he glanced down at the young soldier on the ground, and his heart jumped suddenly, because the latter's face was extremely pale and sweaty.
"Loyal Army Department, what is written in the "Training Regulations", you are in charge of the judiciary in the army, don't you need me to say more?" Ye Kai turned around, looked at Zhonghe with a nervous face, and coldly spit out a few words, "Military orders are like mountains, violators of orders will be dealt with according to military law, and no one will be avoided." ”
Hearing Ye Kai's words without any emotion, in an instant, Zhonghe swallowed a mouthful of saliva unnaturally, and the first article of the first chapter of the military regulations on the training regulations was clearly written: If there is a deserter in the army, no matter what the reason, if it is verified, he will be handed over to the military court for execution, and his minister will be punished with fifty rods and a fine of three months.
"Good system, do you really want to shoot and deal with it? Isn't this "Zhonghe's voice is getting weaker and weaker, he knows that his words are untenable, but he feels that it is a pity to kill him like this, if only he could be allowed to make meritorious service or something, at least he didn't have to lose his life in vain.
"Loyal Army!"
However, before Zhonghe could finish speaking, an uncompromising voice slammed like a hammer, "According to the training regulations, how to deal with those who do not act in accordance with military regulations?" What should be done if a subordinate disobeys an order? ”
Ye Kai said in a tone that left no room for anything, and the latter, under his powerful attack, had to nod in a muffled voice, "Subordinates understand!" ”
"Take this person to the execution ground, and the gendarmerie will execute him!"
Tadawa gave the order and said to the military soldiers in the house, and at this moment, the sound of busy footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.
"Brother Liang, can you listen to us both?"
A few people suddenly walked into the room, and the familiar voice made Ye Kai's ears flutter, and he looked in the direction of the door.
"Lao Ha, geese walking, you are here too."
Seeing who came, Ye Kai said loudly, it seems that this matter has caused a lot of uproar, and it has alarmed a group of high-ranking personnel of the Praetorian Guard.
"We have also heard about deserters, if you want to kill or chop, everything will be dealt with in accordance with military law, originally I had no opinion," Ha Hanzhang said straight to the point as soon as he came in: "However, I think it's not worth killing this kid like this, it's better to let him live for a few more years for the time being, if he can kill a few people on the battlefield in the future, this head will be returned to him." ”
After Ha Hanzhang finished speaking, he spat twice at Zhang Xiaoguang on the ground, and scolded: "You kid is really a bad seed, what dare you do is not to be a deserter who is scolded by thousands of people and poked by ten thousand people!" I'm the first to look down on you! ”
"Senator Ha is right, good brother, it's better to leave him a small life, see how he behaves in the future, if it's really a bad seed, it's not too late to kill him again!" Jiang Yanxing also expressed his intention to ask not to kill, and then said indignantly to the people on the ground.
"This"
Hearing the words of the two, Ye Kai took a deep breath, and did not show his attitude for a long time, he half-squinted, as if he was making a difficult choice.
This tense atmosphere made everyone else in the room sweat, and after a long time, Ye Kai finally opened his eyes, and the qi in his chest also dispersed, he slowly walked in front of Zhang Xiaoguang, leaned over, and asked sharply.
"Zhang Xiaoguang, let me ask you a word, if you answer correctly, I will spare you from death."
These words drifted into his ears, and the deserter who had been languishing on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, it was a desire to survive, and he waited for Ye Kai to stretch out the slender life-saving straw.
"You are a soldier, do you know why you are fighting?"
