Chapter Forty-Six: The Rotten Green Battalion

(New books for recommendation, collection!) The support of my friends is my biggest motivation! Please, please, and thank you very much! )

After a meal, Zhang Renjie was not drunk. This is the amount of alcohol that has been trained in the army. Fifty-six degrees of red star two pot heads, two and a half catties are no problem. Not to mention drinking with a group of civil officials at this wine table. Most of the people upstairs had a glass with Zhang Renjie, but that small glass couldn't hold much wine.

In fact, he also felt it at the wine table, although the county order and the county official both sat on the side, but Zhang Renjie faintly saw disdain in their expressions. This is also a bad habit accumulated over hundreds of years, emphasizing literature over martial arts! It was at this moment that the actual status of the senior generals such as the admirals, general soldiers, and deputy generals of the first and second grades of the imperial court was not as good as that of the seven-rank Hanlin in the capital. Outside of this, he is a military attache of the fourth rank and a county commander of the seventh rank on an equal footing. But it can't be helped, the general environment of the whole society is like this, if you want to change a small capital, you won't even have bones left when you look back.

At the beginning of the day, Zhang Renjie came to the school on time. But as soon as he arrived at the school grounds, he was shocked by the situation on the school grounds. Can this also be counted as a soldier?

There were about 80 people on the field, more than half of them were skinny and skinny, some of them were hanging around, and one-third of them were still smoking "cigarettes" with a "smoke" pot in their hands. A group of people gathered in twos and threes to fart and chat, and there were two places in a circle, shouting and gambling on dice.

"Toji-sama has arrived!"

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"Hurry up and line up, the new official will take office with three fires, don't take us when you turn around."

"Chen Dusi has said a lot, this newcomer's method is vicious, he has killed a lot of people before!"

"Hurry, hurry! Line up! ”

After a while, these 80 people formed a crooked line of eight crooked columns, and one by one they still did not stand in shape. Zhang Renjie has a thorough understanding of what this green camp is. I read an article before, which is a brief description of a great official in the late Qing Dynasty. It is said that when he was the acting governor of Shaanxi, he traveled thousands of miles from Changwu in Shaanxi to Tongguan, and there were battalions but no soldiers, and even those who watched the city gate had to hire security guards, and they had to pay 100 yuan a day. In Yulin, in the green camp, the soldiers dressed like beggars, and in order to exchange for wine, they actually sold their ordnance. The first standard of the green battalion is equivalent to the strength of a regiment, which should have more than 3,000 soldiers, but only one-tenth is left, and the rest is in business.

He also said that when he was a political envoy in Fujian, he saw that the phenomenon of the strong bullying and the tyrannical widows in the township was strict, and the common people went to serve as soldiers in order to avoid bad **. Because as long as you are a soldier in the green camp, you can hang a camp lamp at home, so that the bad guys will not dare to disturb you. If the bad guys come to harass again, according to the regulations, they can bully the ordinary people, and the government can ignore it, but if they bully the families of the green battalion soldiers, the government must take care of it. However, there are many people who want to become soldiers, and they must first bribe the officers, or take a dozen taels or dozens of taels of silver. Officers usually depend on the wealth of the family of the person who wants to be a soldier, and the amount of money they want.

It's like this, how can you pull it out to fight! Suppression of the uprising? Defeat the hairy man? It's all fantasy, and it's no wonder that the green battalion soldiers in a province of Guangdong, who fought with one or two thousand Qing troops, lost their armor and forced the Qing court to sign a covenant under the city with 20,000 people.

"Stand up straight for me, whoever can't straighten his waist pole anymore, whip twenty lashes!" Zhang Renjie is really angry when he sees these people, what kind of waste is this? These are the soldiers you want to bring? That's a lot of insight. I've been to the Golden Triangle before, and even the local indigenous armed forces in that place don't have such waste materials. It feels like even those indigenous armed forces in Africa are ten times stronger than they are in front of them.

After Zhang Renjie's words were sent, most of them still listened carefully, knowing that the new Lord Dusi was angry and didn't dare to touch his head. However, there are still two soldiers who are dishonest and deliberately procrastinating, and the "smoke" in their mouths is shaking, and they can't put it down.

"Dong Biao!"

"Here!" Dong Biao immediately took a step forward.

"Bring someone up and collect all the "smoke" pots of everyone, break them and throw them away, I see that I am upset! Plus, two over there, twenty lashes each! Zhang Renjie pointed to these "soldiers" in front of him and shouted.

Dong Biao immediately went up with a platoon, confiscated the "Smoke" bag and pot, and prepared to escort the two who did not obey the order. But a platoon of fighters came up, and the noise began to rise below.

"What for, what for!"

"Did our brother break that martial law?"

"What's wrong with smoking "Smoking", what's in your way!"

"Brothers, this official doesn't treat us as human beings!"

Zhang Renjie was by the group of guys below, there is really such a thing, it is really Shangguan who rectifies, and there will be people below who are clamoring for change, it seems that these stereotypes and bad customs are indeed going to be changed. turned around and signaled to Zhang Qishi, and immediately, ten members of the tenth class raised their guns and shot at the sky.

"Bang Bang Bang"

There was a burst of gunshots, and the dozens of people below suddenly fell silent!

"What? I want to mutiny! Come on, tie those two up for me! Zhang Renjie pointed to the two people who had been giving orders before, and who had taken the lead in making noise just now.

Dong Biao waved his hand, and Wang Dashan, the leader of the first squad, immediately escorted the two of them over with four soldiers and thousands of soldiers, and the two of them still wanted to move, but they were pointed at guns and did not dare to move again. Immediately, two more warriors brought ropes from the side of the school yard and tied them up, and they overwhelmed them.

"Article 4 of the military regulations, there are many complaints, anger at its commanders, do not listen to constraints, and it is even more difficult to teach and control, which is called forming an army, and the offender will be beheaded. Article 5, laughing and laughing, defying the forbidden covenant, and rushing through the military gate, this is called a light army, and the offender will be beheaded. What do you think I should do with you? Zhang Renjie said coldly. Immediately followed by a sentence: "Pull aside, kill!" ”

The two of them were frightened, and immediately knelt down and shouted while kowtowing: "Adults spare their lives, the little ones don't dare, don't dare anymore!" ”

"Adults spare their lives, if the little one dies, my family won't be able to live! Graceful, my lord! ”

Everyone on the school field was looking at Zhang Renjie, but Zhang Renjie was unmoved: "Killed!" ”

Wang Dashan and the others didn't delay any longer, and dragged the two to the edge of the school field, and the two soldiers behind raised their guns and said, "Bang!" "Bang! Two sounds, the two of them were killed instantly. It's all accurate to hit the left chest, and it's hard not to die.

At this moment, there was silence on the school ground, and one by one they stood honestly and seriously, and they didn't dare to move their fingers. This Shangguan is too ruthless, he will kill if he says kill, those two are still a team officer, that is, they are equivalent to the squad leaders here.

"Look at you bears, the Great Qing Kingdom is counting on you like this, and the country will have died a long time ago!" Zhang Renjie began to count. "When I came over, you were all smoking "Smoke" and "Smoking", gambling and gambling, did there be one person doing business? Is this still a barracks? Who can tell me that there are hundreds of people on the roster, where are the others? ”

There were still two generals among the people below, and one of them standing in front of him reported at this time: "My lord, there are only us people left in the camp, and the others have basically found another way." He didn't dare to say anything about Chen Dusi's encouragement to leave before. The gods fight, and the little ghosts suffer, he still understands this truth.

"Find another way?!" Zhang Renjie didn't know whether to laugh or be sad when he heard this, the dignified army, the soldiers wanted to run out and find another way out. How does the state raise its troops? Corruption**!

"Okay, whatever, I don't want these soldiers anyway. So people listen to me. Zhang Renjie shouted loudly again. If you agree with the following conditions, you can stand on the left, and if you don't meet them, stand still! ”

"First, don't smoke a big cigarette;

second, those who do not gamble in the military;

third, he who has not extorted the people;

Fourth, they are not hired.

Those who agree with these conditions stand on the left! ”

Zhang Renjie doesn't need rotten soldiers, how many of these people can stay, and he's going to send some silver and get rid of it. No one can be left of the old stereotypes, and a grain of rat droppings will spoil a pot of porridge!
