Chapter 9: Dismounting
"What?" Wu Ming, who originally looked down on Cao Yue and felt that Cao Yue was too young and too young, was immediately annoyed, he blushed, rushed to Cao Yue in one step, waved his fist and roared: "Chief Cao Bing, what do you mean?" ”
Cao Yue puffed up his chest and looked at the annoyed Wu Ming, and said coldly: "Deputy Chief Wu Wu, the general had given a strict order before the training, if the ordinary sergeant did not perform well in training, he could only be dismissed after a few days; Officers who are passive in training and do not perform well will be punished. In the Datong Army, no one is allowed to disobey the general's military orders, and if there is a violation, the general will be severely punished!"
"You're too much," Wu Mingqi's lips were trembling, and he was about to pull out his sword and Cao Yue desperately, "General Cao Bing, how can you say that I am the deputy chief soldier of the Datong Army, how can you treat me like this?" This deputy commander-in-chief has been in the army for much longer than you, and I am also the deputy commander-in-chief of Datong personally appointed by the Long Live Lord, why do you bend my prestige in front of the soldiers? ”
With a "bang", Cao Yue's sword came out of its sheath and pointed directly at Wu Ming's chest, "Deputy Chief Wu Wu, see clearly, this is the Shang Fang sword given by the Long Live Lord." This will be the emperor's order to train soldiers, long live the lord has been instructed, if someone does not obey, there will be no forgiveness. This sword has never killed anyone yet, and if you don't want to obey the general's orders, you will be the first person to die under the sword of Shang Fang given by the Lord of Banzai!"
When Cao Yue drew his sword and pointed it at Wu Ming's chest, the group of 500 guards behind him also raised their muskets and pointed in the direction where Wu Ming and the others were standing. This move not only frightened Wu Ming, but the other people who trained together were also frightened.
Some people who originally wanted to take the opportunity to coax, including HD, Zhu Yang and others, quietly retracted their feet.
They all knew that Cao Yue was holding the sword of Shang Fang, and he could kill anyone before the emperor took it back. This is the most frightening point of Cao Yue, they don't dare to make a head bird and taste the taste of Shang Fang's sword cutting off his head.
No one stood up to support him, and because of the power of Shang Fang's sword, Wu Ming's originally red face slowly turned white, and finally all his momentum was lost. He was not stupid, he knew the great power of the sword in Cao Yue's hand, and he knew even more the power of the muskets in the hands of the five hundred Jiading troops behind Cao Yue. If Cao Yue lists a crime after killing him, then he will definitely die in vain. Even if the emperor suspected Cao Yue's motive for killing, it was impossible to seek justice for him, so he could only relent.
In the end, Wu Ming succumbed to Cao Yue's obscenity, relented, and expressed his agreement with Cao Yue's punishment.
Subsequently, under the attention of thousands of sergeants, Wu Ming, who had taken off his armor, ran around the field together with several other unlucky sergeants. In the past, although Wu Ming was also a brave and good general, but over the years, he has been pampered, and his physique has undergone tremendous changes.
After running half the distance, Wu Ming, who was out of breath, stumbled a few steps and rushed forward and fell to the ground.
His fall immediately caused laughter, and Wu Ming got up from the ground with a face full of shame, and continued to run forward. He was extremely angry in his heart, and vowed to find a way to get back his face and let Cao Yue see how powerful he was.
After the training, Wu Mingtie returned to his big tent with a blushing face.
He was on fire in his heart, because a pro-soldier moved a little slower, and suddenly became furious, and whipped him with a horsewhip in his hand, and the unlucky pro-soldier was almost killed, and the captain of the pro-soldier also received several whips.
After nightfall, several guests came to Wu Ming's big tent, two of whom were Gao Gao and Zhu Yang, who went to Datong at about the same time. After some greetings, he whispered: "Deputy Chief Soldier Wu, General Soldier Cao is so chilling that he doesn't give it to you!"
"Yes," Zhu Yang on the side echoed, "General Cao believes that he has made great contributions in this battle of Songshan, and he has been personally rewarded by the Lord of Long Life, and he doesn't take everyone into account, and wants to monopolize the military affairs of Datong, we can't let him get his wish." ”
Seeing that there was finally someone who shared his hatred, Wu Ming was somewhat comforted, and he couldn't help but vent his dissatisfaction viciously, and then said: "Cao Yue took advantage of our new arrival to give us a dismount, he is so intolerant, he just wants to exclude us and prevent us from interfering in the military affairs of Datong." We are the generals of the Datong Town Army appointed by the imperial court, how can we let him do this, we have to report this matter to the Ministry of War and play it to the Long Live Lord. ”
"That's right, what Deputy Chief Wu said is reasonable, he must let Long Live Lord know Cao Yue's wolf ambitions," Gao Gao and Zhu Yang nodded busily. The other two who came with him, and the general manager who originally followed Wu Ming, also agreed.
A few people were about to play and discuss the matter of Cao Yue with the Ministry of War and Emperor Chongzhen.
Just when Wu Ming and the others were discussing how to trap Cao Yue, Cao Yue was in his big tent, discussing with the deputy chief soldier about the training in the past two days. There were also Cao Jie, Cao San and several other generals.
"General Cao, the last general doesn't quite understand, what is the use of queue training in the army?" Zhao Tai, who was shocked by Cao Yue's intimidation of Wu Ming today, cautiously asked Cao Yue, "These training methods are very different from those in ordinary troops, and the last general has never seen them." It seems that these actions are not used in ordinary combat, and the last general does not understand why the chief soldier chooses these subjects for training? ”
"Deputy Chief Soldier Zhao, Brother Zhao," Cao Yue patted Zhao Tai's shoulder affectionately, and explained with a smile: "This is the training method created by this general soldier, so let's put it this way, queue training is the basic skill of soldier training, and the main purpose is to cultivate the style of sergeant prohibition, entry and exit, and vigorous and resolute action." The General Soldier believes that discipline is the foundation of an army, and the enforcement of orders and prohibitions is an important factor in ensuring combat effectiveness. If all the sergeants can advance and retreat freely according to the orders of the commander-in-chief, do you say that the combat effectiveness of this army will be poor? If there is no discipline, there is no way to do the order and prohibition, advance and retreat consistently, will the combat effectiveness be good? ”
Cao Yue said, and also told everyone present about the annotations and essentials of the queue training in later generations, which stunned Zhao Tai and the other generals and President Qian.
After listening to what Cao Yue said, the generals also suddenly realized and further understood the significance of Cao Yue's formulation of such a training method. Most of them agreed with Cao Yue's argument that discipline is the foundation of an army, and that enforcement of orders and prohibitions is an important condition for ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army.
Cao Yue treated Wu Ming so majestically today, and punished him mercilessly, which also made these people admire. Cao Yue's image in their minds has become even higher. Those who had followed Cao Yue to fight in Shengjing, including Cao Jie, Zhao Liang and others, admired Cao Yue more and more.
After some discussion, Cao Yue also let the generals disperse.
After the generals left one after another, Zhao Tai, the deputy commander-in-chief, turned back.
"Brother Zhao, are you okay?"
"General Cao, you punished Deputy General Wu today, you have to worry about his design of revenge," Zhao Tai whispered: "As far as the last general knows, Wu Ming is a narrow-minded person who will repay his flaws, he was disposed of by you in public today, and he can't tolerate this breath, you have to be careful." ”
"Thank you Brother Zhao for reminding me," Cao Yue expressed his gratitude very sincerely, and lowered his voice and whispered a few words to Zhao Tai.
Zhao Tai almost didn't hesitate, and immediately agreed: "No problem, the last general is willing to co-star with the general in a few bitter tricks!"
