Shangyuan Daying, in front of the door of the conference room.

Zhu Daolin walked unhurriedly to the crowd that quickly retreated to the side, stopped and scanned the audience, and without saying a word, turned to Xu Wentao, who came up to salute, and more than a dozen young officials, and the atmosphere of the audience suddenly became solemn.

Xu Wentao saw Zhu Daolin's reproachful eyes, couldn't help lowering his head, and whispered: "The subordinates are incompetent and have not managed the officers and soldiers in the battalion, please punish the general." ”

Zhu Daolin sighed: "I don't blame you for this, it's me who thinks too highly of the martial artists of the Ming Dynasty!" And you, all of you have straightened my spine! I'll take care of the rest, and you'll just watch from the sidelines. ”

Hearing Zhu Daolin's unkind tone, and then looking at his expressionless and indifferent face, the more than 100 troublemakers gathered on the periphery were finally afraid.

Zhu Daolin's strong martial arts and ruthless character have long spread all over the country, and everyone in the garrison of Nanjing knows about it, and today he is wearing a four-grade official uniform for the first time, which means that he has begun to perform his duties and powers, and everyone in the barracks has an ominous omen in their hearts.

Sure enough, Zhu Daolin turned around slowly, coldly glanced at the more than 100 retreating soldiers in front of him, and said a few words that shocked the audience:

"Give you a chance to choose, within a minute, either take off your clothes and lie on the ground to receive the punishment of ten lashes, or leave my barracks immediately and go back from where you came from! Xu Wentao-"

"The subordinates are here!"

Xu Wentao hurriedly stepped forward and bent over to clench his fists.

"Count from one to sixty, and begin!"

Zhu Daolin didn't even look at Xu Wentao, his left hand slowly pressed the Qin Wang Sword on his waist, and his deep gaze gradually flashed with murderous intent, staring at more than a hundred old soldiers in front of him, like looking at pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered.

Xu Wentao shook his body, licked his astringent lips, took a deep breath and said loudly: "One, two, three, four, five......"

All the officers and soldiers were terrified. The more than 400 old soldiers who did not participate in the disturbance retreated again and again, with only one thought in their hearts, to distance themselves from the more than 100 unlucky people in front of them as soon as possible!

Many of the more than 100 troublemakers wanted to walk, but how could they dare to leave under Zhu Daolin's forced gaze? They were all pale with fright, and they were at a loss.

The leading few trial hundred households had already been scattered in Zhu Daolin's knife-like eyes, and they didn't wait for Xu Wentao to count to thirty. Immediately turned around and fled out of the barracks, and the remaining troublemakers were even more unbearable, and after a short period of stunnedness, they exclaimed, scrambling to catch up with the leaders who were the first to escape, and rushed out of the barracks in a blink of an eye and ran farther and farther.

Zhu Daolin glanced at the waist knives thrown all over the ground, slowly walked to the only remaining hundred households, and looked coldly at the short and stocky thirty-five-year-old man who took off his clothes and lay on the ground: "Wu Lao Liu, why don't you get out?" ”

Wu Lao Liu was naked, lying on the cold Sanhe ground. He closed his eyes in pain and replied loudly: "My subordinates are wrong, please punish my lord!" ”

Zhu Daolin looked at Wu Lao Liu lying on the ground expressionlessly: "Military Judge Tan Yue-"

"The subordinates are in ...... If your subordinates are incompetent, please punish them. The pale young Baihu official ran to Zhu Daolin and knelt down.

"Get up, and the disposition of you will be carried out later, law enforcement! Ten lashes! ”

Zhu Daolin's voice was full of chill, which frightened many officers and soldiers around him to tremble slightly, and they watched in horror as Military Judge Tan Yue got up. He took out the leather whip rolled up at his waist and shook it away, and strode to Wu Laoliu's side and stood still. Gritted his teeth, he swung his whip and pulled it down.

The crisp sound of whipping echoed in the silent barracks, and after five lashes, Wu Lao Liu's sturdy back was already covered with flesh and blood, and the flesh-stained leather whips still fell one at a time.

"Smack-"

The last whip sounded, and the old soldiers in the barracks breathed a sigh of relief. admired Wu Laoliu, who was lying on the ground silently, and saw Zhu Dao pressing the hilt of the sword and slowly walking towards Wu Laoliu, whose skin was open, everyone's hearts contracted suddenly, staring nervously at Zhu Daolin and Wu Laoliu in the field, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Can you stand up?" Zhu Daolin's voice turned out to be kind.

Wu Laoliu, who bit his lip, immediately got up and tried his best to suppress his trembling body in pain. Suddenly raised his messy head, and roared with all his might: "General Xie-"

Zhu Daolin nodded with satisfaction: "Wu Lao Liu, you are a rare expert in handling artillery under the command of Wei Guogong, you are loyal, and you dare to do it, so I used 50 treasure knives worth 100 taels of gold to ask you from Wei Guogong, do you know?" ”

Wu Lao Liu's eyes widened: "Big ...... Really, my lord? ”

Zhu Daolin nodded: "You can go back and ask, I'm embarrassed to ask Wei Guogong, it's okay to ask Wei Guogong's personal guards, I, Zhu Daolin, never lie to my brothers." ”

Wu Lao Liu burst into tears, and knelt down with a puff and wailed in pain: "I, Wu Jicheng, am sorry for you, General, I was blindfolded by silver...... I was wrong general, I was wrong ......"

In the midst of exclamations, Zhu Daolin sighed secretly, and stepped forward to help Wu Laoliu, who was crying and repenting with a headache and a headache: "Go back to the barracks to recuperate, the medical officer will arrive later, heal the wounds as soon as possible and take office as soon as possible, I have already picked out 68 artillery pieces, all of which are brand-new long-barreled copper cannons, but the selection and training of artillery still depends on you and the Franc machine instructor team, I don't have so much time." ”

"My lord, my subordinates will go back and heal their injuries as soon as possible, and they will not disappoint your adults!" Wu Lao Liu was so moved that his whole body trembled and his face was full of tears, and he pushed away the two young hundred households who came up to support him, and while wiping his tears, he gritted his teeth and walked back to the barracks.

Zhu Daolin looked at the young military judge Tan Yue at this time, and the pale-faced Tan Yue took off his leather armor and middle coat without saying a word, and stripped off his upper body and lay on the ground three times and twice.

Xu Wentao waved his leather whip under Zhu Daolin's order, and he whipped five times in a row, beating the burly Tan Yue with blood and water, and fainted on the spot.

Several young hundred household officials hurriedly stepped forward and carried Tan Yue back to the barracks with their hands and feet, Zhu Daolin didn't even look at it, and walked directly to the more than 400 veterans who knelt down, and angrily opened his voice and scolded:

"You eggless fools, if something like this happens next time, I'll cut off your heads one by one! Dog's day, all stand up for Lao Tzu, run ten laps around the dock, who the fuck dares to stop, Lao Tzu immediately chopped him! Roll up—"

More than 400 old soldiers roared up and ran around the 250-meter-long and 120-meter-wide open space between the pier and the barracks.

Xu Wentao had experienced many life-and-death battles in the confrontation between the north and the Manchu army, and he was also a well-known man, but at this moment he was completely convinced, strode in front of Zhu Daolin, bent down and respectfully asked for punishment.

Zhu Daolin didn't blame him, but dragged him to the silent Franc machine instructor in front of the barracks inside, and talked to him in a low voice as he walked.

The instructor captain Simeno strode up and raised his hand to his chest to give a military salute: "General, there were only 19 people in the instructor team who left automatically, and after seeing you punish your officers just now, the number has increased to 33...... But happily, the remaining 87 people are willing to stay, and like me, they are willing to obey the general's command and abide by the general's military law! ”

Zhu Daolin immediately put his legs together and solemnly returned a standard military salute: "Thank you, Captain Simeno, thank you and most of your subordinates for trusting me!" As a token of my appreciation, your monthly salary will be increased by 20%, and thereafter a bonus of no less than 10 Spanish silver coins will be given to each person per month, depending on their performance and contributions! ”

"As for the 33 friends who chose to leave, they can now take their luggage to the docks, receive the equivalent of 50 Spanish silver coins and board the ship, and the passenger ship will take them safely to the port of Shanghai, and soon they will be able to take the cargo ships of European merchants to where they want to go."

Simeno was happy and distressed at the same time, saluted again, turned around and walked to more than 100 of his subordinates, and loudly announced Zhu Daolin's decision in Spanish, which immediately caused a burst of cheers and lamentations, and immediately more than a dozen people who were about to leave regretted it, and stepped forward to surround Simeno and ask for help to intercede.

Simeno sighed, turned around and wanted to ask Zhu Daolin for intercession again, but the carriage in which Zhu Daolin was riding had already driven out of the gate of the barracks. (To be continued......)
