Chapter 101: 100 Households (II)

"Are you talking behind your back that you want to be a camper, and I will give up this position for you to do." He Tengxiao said with a cold face, "You guys come to be generals, I'll be the head soldier for you!" ”

Most of these general banner hundred households are veterans who have sold their lives with He Tengxiao, from Pingshan Fort to Phoenix City, they fought bravely and repeatedly set impressive records. It can be regarded as a leader among the armies in Liaodong. Now that he has the name of the He family's strongest army, he inevitably breeds an anxious heart.

Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, these six words seem simple, and almost everyone understands the truth. But how many people can really win without being arrogant and defeating? A very important reason for the continuous decline in the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is that after the Qin army has made a lot of military achievements, the arrogance of the whole army, from the military attache to the non-commissioned soldiers, has been carried away. Just like Peng Chaodong said, the hat of the strongest military government in the world has been worn for a long time, and it is difficult to take it off.

It is true that these veterans are rare pawns, and their military exploits are also dazzling, but these military exploits are not worth mentioning compared with the Qin army, which has been in the army for more than 30 years. The Qin army has arrogant capital, after all, the Qin army has cleared the border troubles of Dazhao and recovered the lost territory of Hetao. Such a feat can be described as a world-renowned feat.

And he He Tengxiao, without this capital, the previous Pingshan Fort Army had won several battles, but those battles were all small battles, looking at the overall situation, these victories did not have a decisive impact on the overall situation of Liaodong.

The reason why He Tengxiao was able to become famous with these two modest victories is that in recent years, the Zhao Liao wars have almost all ended in the defeat of the Zhao Empire. Zhao needed a victory, even if it was a small victory, to boost the morale of the army and the people. It was in this context that He Tengxiao was able to appear.

To a large extent, the grassroots officers represent the non-commissioned officers at the bottom, and now these grassroots officers are full of arrogance. The soldiers below were no better. This phenomenon must be curbed, otherwise, sooner or later, the army that has been brought out with great difficulty will be corrupted and defeated by arrogance and exaggeration. In the past three hundred years, the Zhao Empire has made dazzling military exploits, and there are not a few strong armies that are famous for a while. But many of these so-called strong armies are like a brilliant meteor piercing the sky, and then falling into the vast darkness. The root cause of this is the rapid corruption of the military.

"The subordinates don't dare."

"Don't dare."

"No...... Can't. ”

The faces of the hundreds of households in the general flag were as pale as paper.

"Dare to talk about rewards in private, what else do you not dare?" He Tengxiao glared at this group of general banner hundreds.

"General." Zhou Fuxing came out of the queue again and gave a military salute to He Tengxiao, "It's me who started and ask the general to punish him." ”

"Lao Zhou, you are also an old man who came out of the old Xiao riding camp, in all fairness, has my reward for you ever been unfair? I, He Tengxiao, dared to pat my chest and say, your treatment is the best among all the armies in Liaodong. And now you are begging for a reward behind your back. Speaking of this, He Tengxiao shook his head, "The punishment is certain, but you Lao Zhou don't be a good man alone, you have blessings and hardships, everyone here today will be punished!" ”

"Leave it at the disposal of the general." More than ninety flags and hundreds of households roared out loudly, and the huge roar echoed in the courtyard, and the momentum was terrifying.

"Changqing, thirty military sticks per person, give me a hard beating." He Tengxiao closed his eyes tightly, and his face was painful.

He Tengxiao has not yet set up a special gendarme, and most of the executions are done by more than a dozen personal soldiers led by Chang Qing.

In the lecture hall, the muffled sound of the military stick hitting the buttocks came and went, not accompanied by the muffled snort of the tortured. At the beginning of his tenure, he beat the general banner of the hundred households under his command, which is unique in the nearly 300-year history of Dazhao.

After all, Lu Bingwen's four scholars were literati, and he couldn't bear to look at the bloody scene, so he raised his sleeves to cover his eyes, although he couldn't see it, but the muffled snort inevitably came into his ears. Lu Bingwen thought to himself: He Tengxiao really acted like a man, and he treated his soldiers so ruthlessly. If these soldiers were ordinary soldiers, they were all military attaches of the general banner and hundreds of households. Supporting the skeleton of the cavalry battalion, in Liaodong, there is a general who will beat so many officers under his command?

The beaten military attache pressed his teeth and endured the pain, and the muffled snort that popped out of his teeth came into He Tengxiao's ears from time to time, stimulating He Tengxiao's nerves. In later life, he also corporally punished the recruits who had just been assigned to the company, but it was not as cruel as it is now. Not a single officer was willing to punish his own soldiers, but now he had to do so. If you indulge these general banner hundred households, sooner or later the cavalry battalion will be reduced to the same color as the ordinary town army.

The execution was finally over, and the buttocks of the hundreds of households in the beaten general banner were all black and red soaked in blood. It can be seen that Changqing's executed pro-soldiers did not release water.

"Push-ups, fifty each!" As soon as the execution ended, He Tengxiao immediately issued a second order.

The 100 households of the general banner did not complain, lay down on the spot, supported the ground with both hands and completed the fifty push-ups intermittently, and after doing it, the whole team stood together, waiting for He Tengxiao's lecture.

"This is like a soldier of the cavalry battalion!" After a long silence, He Tengxiao spoke.

It's just a short sentence, and these general banners are very clear about the weight of this sentence, which is He Tengxiao's greatest affirmation and praise for them. When the hundreds of households in the general banner heard this, they unconsciously straightened their waists.

"Today, I recruited all of you into the martial arts hall so that you can read and write." He Tengxiao slowly said the purpose of summoning all these general banner and hundred households to the martial arts hall, "From today on, you are the first batch of students of the Xiaoqi Battalion's martial arts hall. ”

As soon as He Tengxiao's words came out, there was movement in the team. The hundred households of the general banner did not understand why He Tengxiao wanted to make them literate, the empire did not have any requirements for the cultural level of the warriors, the only requirement was to be able to fight. Generals who can't read a single character abound.

"General." Zhou Fuxing was still out of the ranks, and after Zhou Fuxing took a step, the sharp pain from his (buttocks) made him shudder, "We are all martial artists, it's good to be able to fight, what do you know?" ”

He Tengxiao's face was clouded, and he shouted: "Zhou Fuxing! Retire! ”

Zhou Fuxing was stunned, He Tengxiao rarely called his name directly, usually called him Lao Zhou, and directly called his name to show that He Tengxiao was angry. He didn't bother to talk back, and retreated to the team in amusement.

"From today onwards, Lu Xiucai and the four of them will teach you to read and write, each of you will recognize at least ten big characters every day, and if you can't recognize all of them, you will be deducted one penny of silver from your military salary, I want to see how much of your military salary is enough to deduct!"

The general flag of the hundred households stopped talking.

He Tengxiao took off his horsewhip from his waist, solemnly held it and handed it to Lu Bingwen: "Mr. Lao." ”

Lu Bingwen was terrified, and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

After awarding the whip to Lu Bingwen, He Tengxiao was reincarnated and said to the hundred households of the General Banner: "In the martial arts hall, they are your generals, and those who violate discipline will be dealt with according to military law!" ”
