Chapter 236: Removing the turnip and preserving the essence with a quick knife to cut the sores
From the beginning of the recruitment to the camp tonight, the young people who stayed in the boot camp have always felt that it is child's play, and the hard training here is very different from the training of soldiers and horses they have seen, and they think it is a joke of the game.
In the guards, they heard from their fathers and brothers who had been soldiers that military law was extremely harsh, and the lightest thing was to hit a board, but this board could often kill people.
Rest, such as cheek piercing (piercing both cheeks with arrows), horse drag (horses dragged away), cutting off ears, skinning, beheading, and other tortures, often a small mistake will be lost.
When they came here from home, the elders said that it was definitely easier and richer to be an errand boy than in the barracks, and they said that they should be cautious and careful, otherwise they would die in vain if they died here.
But in this Wang Qianhu's recruit training camp, if the training is wrong, it is to whip and beat the stick, and if you make a small mistake, you will be whipped and beaten, all of which are very restrained, except for the endless recitation of this military rule, the corporal punishment is not as serious as you think, and after half a month, everyone feels that it doesn't matter.
Many people feel in their hearts that it doesn't matter if the bombing camp tonight fails, it is a big deal to take a few lashes, and if there is no consequence of deterrence, people will act unscrupulously.
Until he saw several of his companions nailed to their chests and foreheads with whistling arrows, and their foreheads were nailed with arrows, they naturally died immediately.
The person who was shot in the chest couldn't die for a while, and he held the shaft of the arrow with his hand and wanted to pull it out, but his strength gradually lost, and the whole person moved on the ground like a spasmodic body, and the screams of pain became weaker and weaker.
Everyone was stunned, their bodies were like falling into an ice cellar, standing there and not daring to move, someone had already come out and started to light more braziers, the barracks became brighter and brighter, and they also saw that the instructors around Wang Tong were holding longbows and arrows, aiming at this side.
No matter how fast he ran, could he still be faster than the bow and arrow, the scene was completely calmed, Wang Tong jumped out of his horse, and circled around these people, and whose bodies trembled when the horses passed in front of them.
"Look at your skills, can you still fight!?"
Wang Tong stopped his horse and asked condescendingly and contemptuously, these young people who were still roaring and arrogant just now all turned pale and shook their heads in a panic when Wang Tong's gaze swept over.
"Beat the gong and call everyone together!!"
The gong sounded, and the small party of foot soldiers also dispersed, and each ran to the area in charge to call for people to assemble, the sky was unusually dark, but the camp was as noisy as day.
After more than half a month of training, it was somewhat effective, and the three battalion leaders of the first, second, and third did not come out to make trouble, and the ones who ran back just now quickly got dressed and came out to line up.
Those who didn't choose the movements were much slower, and it took a long time to organize the team, Wang Tong rode on a horse and said loudly in front of the queue:
"The official asked you, when you came to work on an errand with the official, did the official treat you badly and couldn't eat enough? Or can't you wear warm clothes? ”
No one below made a sound, and it was hard to come here, but they were full of food and food, and they had warm clothes to wear, so it really wasn't a disadvantage, and even the gang of people who made trouble tonight could only say that they couldn't be angry.
"Each battalion and hundreds of households, the general flag, and the small banner immediately counted the people who made the rebellion, and saw that the person at the head of the camp was so short-sighted." The family and the boys hurriedly went out of the ranks, and went to the crowd to check and count, and soon the result was that there were not many people from the first battalion, all of them were from the second and third battalions.
The young and strong military households with skills on their bodies, they have usually practiced, they know the hardship, and naturally understand whether the hard training in the recruit camp is torture or enduring.
But the few who rushed forward with a sharp blade in their hands, and were killed by a bow and arrow, but they were people from a battalion, and this joint was easy to figure out, and if they wanted to blend in, they would naturally be selected if they showed their skills.
"Since you are a soldier of the Jinyi Guard, you must know the rules, tonight you are instigated by the evil villain, noisy in the military camp, intending to escape, this is a big crime to kill your head." Wang Tong said coldly, those trembling young people who were trapped in the center were suddenly in chaos, and some people subconsciously took two steps forward, "whoosh" sounded, and the bow and arrow were already shot in front of them, and these people were immediately frightened and stopped.
Finally someone reacted, knelt down there, and cried loudly and begged for mercy while kowtowing:
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, the little ones are all blinded by lard, and they can't think about it for a while, so they do such a bastard thing, the little ones still have their fathers and mothers at home, Lord Wang, you must spare your life, spare your life!!"
The crying and begging for mercy of nearly two hundred people was really not small, Wang Tong leaned closer, only heard the buzzing in his ears, and the commotion was irritating, and he couldn't help but turn around and say:
"Strike the gong and hold it down!!"
When the gong sounded, it immediately suppressed the movement here, and Wang Tong said loudly again:
"Remember that you are first-time offenders, and the capital offense is forbidden......
Halfway through the words, the group of people below who had been frightened hurriedly kowtowed and thanked, and the chaos in the field was not good for a while, but this time Wang Tong did not strike the gong, and directly asked the family and the young man on the side to go in with sticks and whips to whip and beat indiscriminately, and when it was quiet, Wang Tongcai continued:
"Each person will receive thirty lashes, and all those who participated in the bombing camp will be removed from the three battalions, and they will be supplemented by the number of people who are not selected!!"
There is a statement that the capital crime is just a crime, who dares to say a word, just endure the pain and kowtow, but the young and strong people who serve as laborers over there are a little sensational, usually doing coolies, seeing the energetic training of the people here, I have long been envious, tonight these people are still running, I have been scolded by this group of laborers in the stomach I don't know how many times, I heard that there is still this opportunity, how unhappy.
I thought that I would be like this all my life, and there was nothing to say, who would have thought that there would be such an opportunity, no wonder they should be happy.
"Everyone present, the three battalions who did not participate in the chaos each received five whips, and the laborers each received three whips!!"
At this time, it was already early in the morning, the sky was dark, although the camp was bright, but it was quiet, everyone did not dare to make a sound, but they felt strange about Wang Tong's decision.
It's such a mess outside, shouldn't everyone be rewarded if they don't have an assistant, why should they be pumped, what is the reason, Wang Tong's words then answered their questions:
"There is chaos in the army, you don't come out to suppress it, but you sit on the sidelines, if the enemy takes advantage of the situation to kill in front of the battle, what is this, this is also a capital crime, this time whip, next time you have to be careful of your head!!"
As soon as the words fell, he drove his horse back to the queue, and the young man of his own family led the people forward to escort out the kneeling people one by one, whipping and whipping.
As soon as I started, I heard Wang Tongsenran say:
"Whip them in water, let them tell who encouraged them to do this, and if there are any alive, if they don't say, they will continue to beat the second round."
Before the first round of whipping was over, three more names were confessed, but these three people didn't care about causing harm to their families, and they ran away from the wooden fence around them when they started to fight just now.
Since it was mixed in, it naturally didn't care about any guarantors, in such a cold weather, the whip was extremely heavy after being wet, and there would be blood when the five whips went down, not to mention that the thirty whips would be fleshy and fleshy.
Despite the misery of the beatings, none of them had any sympathy for them, for the infallible people were also implicated by them, and each of them stared viciously at the young men who were making trouble.
"Master, these people are just ignorant, this time they are dizzy, it is enough to whip so many whips, why bother to go over there, they are qualified enough, and their health is not bad, it's a pity."
Regarding General Tan's exhortation, Wang Tong was silent for a while before saying:
"Military discipline is the heaviest, it's already a great forgiveness not to kill them, go to the labor side to do the work, think about the bitterness over there, the heart is depressed over there, anyway, there is an assessment in every paragraph, take this lesson, think about it, it's not impossible to take the exam again, it's a big deal to set up a fourth battalion."
Hearing Wang Tong say this, General Tan nodded and did not continue to advise.
Everything ended after dawn, and no one inside or outside the city even knew that there was chaos here, except for those involved in these things.
"Bai said that the training work is non-stop, whether there is an injury or not, I will support the official, last night's chaos was not the official who made you mess up, Wang Tong left this sentence, and then led everyone back to the city.
After leaving the barracks and stepping on the road, Wang Tong sighed and said to himself:
"After this, there should be no sand in the camp."
This time is beneficial and harmless to Wang Tong, firstly, it is to uproot the stakes lurking in the camp, secondly, it is to establish a clear military discipline, and let the soldiers monitor each other, and it will be difficult to have chaos in the future.
Although he didn't sleep all night, Wang Tong was very excited, and after returning home, he didn't sleep first, and was ready to write down the things that happened at night in detail and then send them to Emperor Wanli to see, presumably the little emperor would feel very exciting.
There is a joint in this matter, after Wang Tong recruited his family for the first time in Beijing, some people were sent to the gambling house to keep an eye on the Qinglou, and this time he left Beijing, and more than a dozen people followed.
Wang Tong did not let them live in his own mansion, but arranged for them to participate in this recruitment, and with Wang Tong taking care of them, these people were naturally easily selected.
Except for Wang Tong and a few others, no one knew these dozen people at all, and they all thought that they had nothing to do with Wang Tong and others, so they lurked in the military camp as Wang Tong's eyes and ears.
As for the one who got the favor to inform, it was a pure coincidence, of course, whether it was this informant or Wang Tong's eyes and ears, they were also whipped together, and they were naturally willing to give more money to comfort them afterwards.
The masterminds who were shot to death set up a shelf next to the barracks, and their bodies hung for ten days......
