Lei Gong Mountain Camp.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the four thousand veterans have completely mastered the essentials of the three-stage attack, and have also learned to throw the dragon king cannon with a handle.

It's a pity that there is no way to shoot live ammunition!

Because the number of flintlock muskets and dragon king cannons with handles brought to the camp was not large, and the gunpowder was also very scarce, these materials were rationed by the Ministry of Industry, and there was no gunpowder workshop in Datong, even if Wang Pu had silver, he could not buy them.

Fortunately, these 4,000 people are all veterans, and they are already accustomed to seeing blood and hearing gunfire, even if there is no live-fire training, they will never be at a loss on the battlefield, let alone blow up the nest.

What makes Wang Pu feel gratified is the quality of these 4,000 individual soldiers, these people are either veterans of a hundred battles who crawled out of the pile of dead, or they are murderous horse thieves, whether it is riding, archery, or hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons or the use of firearms, they can be described by two words: exquisite!

Not only do they have excellent fighting skills, but they also have a cold and tenacious will!

As long as Wang Pu can fulfill the promise he made in public, as long as Wang Pu can arouse the resonance in their hearts, and let them truly regard themselves as Wang Pu's soldiers from the bottom of their hearts, it is completely conceivable that these 4,000 people will become a terrifying elite army!

Whether it is a thief or a slave, they will be ruthlessly crushed by this elite army.

However, not everything is wonderful, the combat effectiveness of these 4,000 elite soldiers makes Wang Pu satisfied, but their military discipline makes Wang Pu feel a headache! The 800 horse thieves are used to robbing houses and houses freely, and the 3,000 veterans are also passive and lazy to the bone because they are used to being a rout, even Wang Pu's original 200 family members, and the discipline is not much better.

It will not be easy to turn these 4,000 men into well-trained and disciplined Predators.

But no matter how difficult it is, Wang Pu must do this well, if these 4,000 people cannot be given strict discipline, they can only become a group of arrogant soldiers, the more victorious they will become, and finally when Wang Pu can not restrain them, they will dig their own graves, and then destroy themselves.

In ancient Chinese history, there was no shortage of such armies, who were able to fight well but did not have strict discipline, and finally when their military victories reached a glorious apex, they quickly perished.

At the beginning, the lone army went deep into Liaodong, and Wang Pu connived at the beast surnames of more than a thousand families, which was to survive!

But now, Wang Pu will never do this again, now he needs not a group of savage wolves, he wants a group of disciplined Predators!

Wang Pu Xing account.

Zhen Youcai bent over and crossed his hands into the big tent, and asked Wang Pudao: "General, are you looking for a villain?" ”

"Talented." Wang Pu frowned and said, "I've told you many times, don't call yourself a villain in the future." ”

"Oh, yes, yes." Zhen Youcai patted his head and said with a wry smile, "Look at the villain's surname, when I see the general in the future, I will call myself a lowly position, a lowly position, hehe." ”

Wang Pu shook his head with a wry smile, beckoned to Zhen Youcai, "Come, you come and take a look at this." ”

Zhen Youcai walked to the front of the case, only to see a big red paper on the case, with three eye-catching characters written vertically in the middle of the left side of the red paper, and seven lines of detailed rules on the right, which read:

Article 1 of the military regulations: Those who disobey military orders will be killed without mercy;

Article 2 of the military regulations: Those who commit murder to their own people will not be killed;

Article 3 of the military regulations: Those who destroy the women of the silver and the Ming Dynasty will be killed without mercy;

Article 4 of the military regulations: Those who rob the people of the Ming Dynasty will be killed;

Article 5 of the military regulations: Those who gather a crowd to play money will be whipped eighty in public;

Article 6 of the Catch-Laws: Anyone who conceals and seizes it privately shall be flogged eighty times in public;

Catch-7: Whoever tramples on the crops shall be given eighty lashes in public;

Zhen Youcai looked at it carefully for a long time, and said cautiously: "General, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Wang Pu said: "Just say what you have." ”

Zhen Youcai said: "The lowly position thinks that the first, second, and sixth articles have nothing to say, but the other four seem to be a bit of a fuss, such as the two articles of destroying silver women and robbing the people, and the lowly position thinks that eighty lashes are enough, as for gathering people to play money and trampling on crops, the lowly position thinks that the maximum whipping is twenty or even not punished." ”

"No, you're wrong." Wang Pu shook his head and said, "The army must be governed strictly, especially the two items of destroying silver and robbing the people of the Ming Dynasty, which must be severely punished, do you know why?" ”

Zhen Youcai said: "Please clarify the general's doubts." ”

Wang Pu said: "Mencius said, the people are the most important, the community is secondary, the king is light, the people are the people, what are the people? The people are the cornerstone of our Ming Dynasty! What we eat is planted by the people of the Ming Dynasty, what we wear, woven by the people of the Ming Dynasty, and what we use, which is also built by the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"General Mingjian." Zhen Youcai said solemnly, "It's a shame." ”

Zhen Youcai's voice fell, and Xiao Qi suddenly entered the door and said, "General, something happened." ”

Wang Pu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Qi said: "Scarface and Bearded each led a team of people to bow and play money under Lei Gong Mountain, trampling the wheat fields of the nearby people, and a young farmer was tied up by Scarface and people after saying a few words, and he was beaten up, and Scarface also threatened to burn their village." ”

"Bang!"

"How can it be!" Wang Pu took the case and said angrily, "Playing money and trampling on crops, and bullying the people of the Ming Dynasty, I suddenly violated the three major military regulations, I am simply tired!" ”

Xiao Qi was stunned and said, "General, what are the three major articles?" ”

Wang Pu shouted: "Let Tang Sheng, Monk Zhang, and all the hundred households assemble outside the gate immediately!" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Qi answered and took the order.

■■■

At the foot of Lei Gong Mountain.

The bow between the beard and the scarface has ended, and it is also because they have been on the mountain for more than half a month, and in addition to training or training every day, these proud soldiers have long been bored.

Several wheat fields used by the two of them as a bowing field have long been in shambles, and the green seedlings that have just grown are completely gone, and a young cropper man hangs under the old locust at the edge of the field, but he has been stripped of his shirt on a cold day, and his body is covered with scars.

The bearded man lost the bow competition, and paid a few dollars of silver to buy ten catties of sauce beef, a few packets of peanuts, and five catties of wine from the grocery store in the village. ”

"Really?"

The bearded man and the scarlet face looked back carelessly, and sure enough, they saw that there was billowing smoke and dust on the road down from the camp of Lei Gong Mountain, and the faint sound of horses' hooves could be heard from a long distance, just like the thunder in the sky, and there must be at least dozens of horses to see the momentum.

"Fuck." Scarface scratched his head and said in confusion, "Who could this be?" ”

"Whoever he is." The bearded man said nonchalantly, "Anyway, it won't be a general, drink your wine." ”

"Yes." Scarface nodded, raised his bowl and yelled, "Come, drink." ”

The two drank two sips, and the cronies next to them shouted: "General, it's the general who is here!" ”

"The general is here?"

The bearded man and Scarface were stunned for a moment, and when Huo Ran looked back, he saw Wang Pu wearing heavy armor and galloping with dozens of horses, the two did not notice Wang Pu's embarrassed face, Scarface laughed, picked up the wine bowl and greeted Wang Pu, and laughed: "Haha, general, you have come by chance, come, the villain respects you a bowl." ”

Wang Pu didn't get off the horse, and drove the horse directly in front of the two.

At this time, dozens of horsemen who followed behind Wang Pu also rode their horses and approached, the scarred face and beard were square, and they found that it was Zhen Youcai, Tang Sheng, Monk Zhang, and dozens of other generals, this guy, almost all the generals above the general in the big camp came.

Scarface had already noticed that Wang Pu's face was a little wrong, and asked cautiously, "General, ...... are you?"

Wang Pu Zema walked up to the two of them, pointed at the young farmer who was hanging under the tree not far away with the whip in his hand, and said calmly: "Let the people go." ”

"Hey." Scarface responded, and hurriedly said to the two housekeepers beside him, "Go, go and let people go." ”

"Wait!" Wang Pu drank the two family members and said in a deep voice, "You go." ”

"Okay, let's go, villain."

Scarface didn't dare to slack off, so he trotted to the edge of the field and put down the young crop man, thought about it, and untied the bear skin on his body and put it on him, but he didn't expect the crop man to be very backbone, and directly threw the scarred bearskin big man on the ground.

Scarface was furious, and slapped the crop man in the face, but he didn't expect to be easily dodged away, and the crop man also kicked Scarface's ass and kicked him into a dog shit, and when Scarface got up again, his face had become the color of pig liver.

"Lao Tzu hacked you alive!"

Scarface roared angrily, and his backhand was about to draw the waist knife.

Wang Pu suddenly shouted: "Stop! ”

Scarface didn't dare to disobey Wang Pu's military order, so he had to glared at the farmer viciously, and slowly returned to Wang Pu's side, while still in the mood to laugh at himself: "General, this kid doesn't know how to lift, the villain just wants to mention him, he doesn't mean anything else, hehe." ”

Wang Pu ignored Scarface, pointed at the wheat field that was trampled and said, "Who are the people who trampled on the wheat field, stand up for General Ben." ”

The bearded, scarface, and the family who followed the two of them down the mountain to bow all changed their faces, which made them realize that the general was going to go crazy, but they still stood up happily, and everyone stood in a row in front of Wang Puma, but they all lowered their heads, not daring to face Wang Pu's cold eyes.

The horsewhip in Wang Pu's hand suddenly fell without warning, and slapped the bearded face standing at the head of the row, only to hear the crisp sound of the horn, a striking blood mark had appeared on the bearded face, the bearded man was stunned for a moment, Huo Ran raised his head, and then puffed up his chest vigorously.

"Horn!"

There was another crisp sound, and Wang Pu's whip had already been slammed on Scarface's face who was standing second, and a striking blood mark quickly appeared on Scarface's face, which happened to be intertwined with the terrible scar into a cross, making this guy's face look more and more hideous and terrifying.

"Horn!"

"Horn!"

"Horn!"

The crisp whip sound was endless, Wang Pu rode the horse and slowly passed in front of the family members in a row, but the horse whip in his hand was ruthlessly whipped on everyone's face, one person and one whip, until the last whip was drawn, Wang Pu rode the horse slowly paced back in front of the bearded man and others, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you not convinced?" ”

The bearded man and Scarface held their heads high and said in unison: "Dissatisfied!" ”

"Okay, dare to act, if you have something to say, it's a gentleman!" Wang Pu nodded, turned back to Zhen Youcai and said, "Zhen joins the army and reads to them the seven military regulations that General Ben has just formulated!" ”

Zhen Youcai stepped forward immediately and began to chant loudly:

Article 1: Those who disobey military orders will be killed without mercy;

Article 2: Whoever commits a crime against his own person shall be killed;

Article 3: Those who destroy the women of the Ming Dynasty will be killed;

Article 4: Those who rob the people of the Ming Dynasty will be killed;

Article 5: Those who gather a crowd to play money shall be whipped eighty times in public;

Article 6: Whoever has seized it in private possession shall be punished with eighty lashes in public;

Article 7: Whoever tramples on the crops shall be flogged eighty in public!

After Zhen Youcai finished reading, Wang Pucai continued: "You are a first-time offender, and the offense was committed before the formulation of the seven major military regulations, so this general only whips each of you, if you commit it again in the future, you will be dealt with according to the military regulations, and will not be tolerated!" Don't think that because you are the general's own soldiers, you can act recklessly! In my Wang Pu's army, everyone is the same, and they must abide by military regulations! ”
