Chapter 0101: A New Officer Takes Office
He heard a burst of shouts from a big tent from a distance, and when he opened the curtain of the tent, he saw that the big tent was densely packed with soldiers, a small table in the middle, piled up copper coins on both sides, and two soldiers in the middle were throwing wood to gamble money, this group of soldiers were all very excited, and their eyes were red.
"Wang Qi, Lao Tzu is obviously four black, do you want to repay the debt?"
"Shit! Don't think I didn't see it, your little finger hooked clearly. ”
"When did Lao Tzu hook, what else would you look at with a pair of dog eyes besides looking at a woman's ass?"
There was a commotion in the big tent, and no one paid attention to Zhang Xuan, although Zhang Xuan was wearing the armor of the Lang General, they did not take the new chief general in their eyes at all.
At this time, a lieutenant rushed in in a rage, kicked over the table, and shouted: "Give Lao Tzu all the rules to meet General Lang!" ”
Everyone stood up in fright, Zhang Xuan glanced coldly at the silent tent, turned around and walked towards his camp, he didn't want to look at it anymore, no one restrained him, gambling was rampant, there were undressed soldiers and decadent mental state everywhere, such an army was not even as good as Lu Mingyue's bandits.
Liu Ling, who joined the army, hurriedly followed up and whispered: "General, in fact, I don't blame them, they are originally bandits." ”
"What did you say?" Zhang Xuan stopped and looked at Liu Ling in surprise.
Liu Ling sighed, "The Xiaoguo Army originally only had twenty mansions, and the military mansions behind it were all just established, otherwise how could there be so many vacancies, our twenty-seven mansions have been established for less than two months, and these soldiers are all rebel bandits in the Douzigang area of Shandong, they used to be Liu Badao's uncle's army, and after being captured by General Zhang Xutuo, they were directly reorganized into the Xiaoguo New Army, and they have never been trained." ”
"Never trained?" Jang Hyun couldn't believe his ears.
Liu Ling looked to both sides and said in a low voice: "General Sima and Ma Changshi are competing for the arrangements of various military positions. Where is the mind to train the army? ”
Zhang Xuan was silent, his subordinates turned out to be a rabble composed of bandits, Pei Ju also boasted that the Xiaoguo Army was an elite army, he didn't know where the elite was?
Although Zhang Xuan is disappointed in his heart, he must face the reality, even if it is a rabble, he has to accept it. But he thought widely, isn't a blank piece of paper just right for drawing?
Jang Hyun pondered for a moment and returned to the barracks, where he randomly selected fifty soldiers from more than a thousand soldiers who seemed to be in good spirits and had a neat appearance.
In the big tent, Zhang Xuan said to the fifty soldiers who were neatly arranged: "From today on, you are my henchmen, the third battalion of military discipline soldiers. Obey my orders directly, I will let you kill whoever you kill, and if the officers are killed, you will fill them, do you hear it! ”
"Obey!" Fifty soldiers shouted in unison.
Zhang Xuan nodded, and immediately ordered: "Beat the drums, gather all the soldiers!" ”
'Boom! Boom! Boom! The drums beat loudly, and the drums that had never been heard before resounded throughout the barracks.
The main general, Sima Deheng, also heard the sound of the drums. Walking out of the big tent, a soldier pointed to the distance and said, "General." It seems to be the sound of drums from the third battalion! ”
Sima Deheng squinted his eyes and listened for a long time, and smiled at several civil officials on both sides: "It seems that the new official is going to burn the fire when he takes office." ”
"General, do you want to go and see?"
Sima Deheng waved his hand, "Let him do it himself, let's not participate!" ”
He glanced at Chang Shi Ma Xunwu in the distance, and secretly sneered. Walked into the big tent, Zhang Xuan's third battalion, the main officers were all recommended by Chang Shi Ma Xunwu, Sima Deheng just wanted Zhang Xuan to kill and clean everyone up.
Ma Xunwu stood at the door of another large tent. He was really a little worried in his heart, would Zhang Xuan be looking for an excuse to clean the descendants he had installed?
He beckoned a soldier and whispered a few words to him, and the soldier immediately rushed towards the third battalion.
At this time, on the school field in front of the third battalion, 1,184 soldiers and officers were already lined up, the ranks were disorganized, the uniforms were untidy, and the ranks were uneven, and they did not know what was happening, and whispered in a low voice.
In front of them were three officers who were on their knees, and thirty-eight soldiers with their hands on their heads were also kneeling on the ground, slightly different from the three officers who were tied back.
Jang Hyun walked up to the wooden platform in front of him, his voice deep but clear to everyone's ears.
"I am the new general Wu Yonglang, and I am also your main general, and the military department told me that I want to be responsible for your life and death, very good! From today onwards, your good days are over, and if you want to survive the brutal battlefield, you must follow my rules! ”
Zhang Xuan's voice became more and more severe, he pointed to the three officers kneeling on the ground, and shouted: "Gather a crowd to gamble, and the leader will be beheaded according to military regulations, since these three teams are not afraid of military regulations, not afraid of life and death, then fulfill them and behead me!" ”
The three teams were slumping to the ground in fright, crying out for mercy, and everyone turned pale with shock, and they all retreated, looking at the scene in horror.
The fifty military discipline soldiers selected by Zhang Xuan played a role, and they only obeyed Zhang Xuan's orders, and ten military discipline soldiers rushed forward and kicked three teams to the ground.
At this moment, I heard someone shouting: "Wait! ”
Out of the team came out of a captain, his name is Wang Zhiguo, is the captain of the fourth regiment, the arrested gambling crowd is his subordinates, one of the team ready to behead is still his brother-in-law.
If Zhang Xuan just beat the perpetrator of the crime, he would have endured it, but Zhang Xuan wanted to kill Shuwei, which made him unbearable.
"What does Captain Wang have to say?" Zhang Xuan asked coldly.
Wang Zhiguo bowed and saluted: "General Qiyu, gambling in the army has been going on for a long time, they are not the first, nor the last, in this barracks, a large number of soldiers gather together to gamble every day, but the general didn't see it." ”
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"The general wants to rectify military discipline, and the lowly position is completely in favor, but others also gamble, but the general let it go, and only wants to kill my subordinates, the lowly position feels a little unfair, can you avoid the capital crime and beat them to the public?"
Zhang Xuan looked at the thousands of soldiers in the training ground, everyone was looking at him silently, Zhang Xuan raised his voice and said: "What is the third article of military law, gather a crowd of gamblers in the barracks, behead!" I don't know if anyone gambled before, but from now on, the military discipline is like a mountain, kill me! ”
The military discipline soldier raised his sword high, and one of the team members screamed miserably, "Brother-in-law, help!" ”
Zhang Xuan shouted: "Chop! ”
The sword slammed down, blood splattered, and the three human skulls rolled to the ground, and the soldiers let out a cry of surprise, and suddenly fell silent.
Zhang Xuan's eyes fell coldly on the more than 30 gambling soldiers, and the thirty-eight soldiers were so frightened that they kowtowed desperately and begged.
"You also violated the military regulations against gambling, but you are accomplices, and your crime is not worth death, and each of you will be beaten with a hundred military sticks to make an example of military law!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "Execution!" ”
Dozens of executioners ran up next to him, pressed the 38 gambling soldiers to the ground, raised sticks and beat them heavily, beating the 38 soldiers to the point of crying and crying and wailing.
At this time, Wang Zhiguo's chest rose and fell violently, and he finally broke out, pointing at Zhang Xuan and yelling: "Bastard surnamed Zhang, if you dare to kill my brother-in-law, I will never let you go!" ”
The sudden change silenced the training ground once again, except for the crackling of the board and the wails of the beaten.
Zhang Xuan stared at Wang Zhiguo coldly, "The above crimes are capital crimes, don't think that you have a backstage, I won't dare to touch you, so don't worry!" I won't kill you today, but don't mix in the third battalion, you get out of the barracks! ”
Jang Xuan shouted, "Strip off his armor and knock him out of the barracks!" ”
Five soldiers came up, pressed Wang Zhiguo to the ground, stripped off his armor, and then threw down their sticks, beating Wang Zhiguo to run away in the distance.
Zhang Xuan said loudly to all the soldiers: "From now on, Wang Zhiguo's rule is not strict, and if he commits any crime, he will be removed from his post as captain and driven out of the barracks, and I will be the captain of the fourth regiment!" ”
All the soldiers changed their faces, they knew that a powerful general had come, and the good days were really coming to an end.
The beating lasted a quarter of an hour before it ended, and the thirty-eight soldiers were beaten to the bare of flesh, the blood soaked their lower clothes, and almost all of them were dying, and there was no crying anymore, and the soldiers carried the thirty-eight soldiers down.
Zhang Xuan said to everyone: "This is just the first step, those who violate military regulations will be severely punished, everyone listens, they all stand up for me, when to stand up the team, when to disband back!" ”
Everyone was stunned, they were not allowed to disband, they were afraid in their hearts, they stood up straight, Zhang Xuan took a big wooden stick to patrol back and forth in the ranks of soldiers, and from time to time hit the soldier on the leg with a stick, "Stand up straight for me!" ”
The weather was hot, the soldiers were exposed to the sun, and soon they were sweating and sweating, and after an hour, finally some people couldn't stand it! After fainting, Zhang Xuan stepped forward and shouted: "Wake up with cold water and continue to stand!" ”
Under the scorching sun, the soldiers stood from morning to night, more than 1,000 soldiers fainted, more than 600 people were left, and in the end, only more than 300 people were left to continue to hold on, and even two soldiers unfortunately died of heat stroke, but all this could not change Zhang Xuan's iron heart.
It wasn't until night fell that Zhang Xuan walked to the wooden platform and said loudly: "The brave should be rewarded, and those who stand at the end will be rewarded for each person's merit and rewarded with 100 yuan, and now it will be disbanded, and tomorrow at the fifth and third quarters will start to gather, everyone must participate in training, and those who dare to be lazy will be severely punished!" ”
The soldiers were already exhausted, dragging their heavy steps towards the big tent, although they were rewarded, but they could not comfort their tired bodies, and the thought of getting up before dawn tomorrow to train, everyone's hearts were heavy, as if a boulder had been pressed.
