While this punishment has a good effect, it seriously damages the self-esteem of soldiers.

Zhu Youcheng believes that the purpose of punishment is to punish the former and the latter, to cure the sick and save people, and if the punishment damages the self-esteem of the soldiers, even if it has obvious effects and can deter crime, it will outweigh the losses.

Because only self-esteem can be self-love, only self-esteem can be aggressive, and only self-respect can strive for victory.

When a soldier has self-esteem, he has a direction to work towards; When a unit has self-esteem, it has a military spirit, and no matter what difficult environment it is, it will never give up its struggle and create all kinds of miraculous victories.

Therefore, from the beginning of the establishment of the Jinyi Wei East and West Zhenfu Division, or a little earlier, from the time when Zhu Youcheng first served as the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households and established a team of 100 people, the punishment of inserting arrows in the street has been abolished.

Hearing Wang Ping say this, the soldiers gathered on the side looked at him with the eyes of a dead man.

The soldiers all understood that Zhu Youcheng had always treated them as siblings, and Wang Ping must have brought himself unlucky when he made such an excessive request.

Although the four heroes had dealt with Zhu Youcheng, they didn't know what he was, and they felt a little uneasy when they heard Wang Ping make this request.

Parade through the streets, that's a terrible punishment. If Lord Zhu couldn't resist the pressure of this foreign master and pushed them out to parade through the streets, they would not even have any face in the whole army.

Trees need bark, people need faces. If you don't have a face, what kind of life is there, it's better to find a crooked neck tree and hang yourself.

Zhu Youcheng said coldly: "Outside the king, if you want to ask for more property, we can still discuss it." But if you want to humiliate my soldier, my brother, in this way, weigh your own weight and bear my wrath. A word of caution in advance, that kind of outcome may be something you can't afford. ”

Wang Ping raised his head to the sky. Said arrogantly: "I have already said that my brother Wang Xiangchun is in the Ministry of Officials, don't look at his official Although he is not big, he is a civil official. And no matter what grade you are, you are a military general after all, and you are always silent when you see a civil official. I advise you to be aware of current affairs. The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, don't ruin your good future for a few useless Qiu Ba. By the way, I've already sent someone to invite the Futai Lord of Changsha Province. Now you can still take the initiative, and when the people of Futai arrive, you have to do it if you want to, and you have to do it if you don't want to. ”

When the four knights heard that this matter would affect Zhu Youcheng's future, they couldn't help but tremble.

They joined Jinyiwei not entirely for the future. Half of the reason is that they want to repay Lord Zhu for saving their relatives.

If Lord Zhu's future is affected because of this incident, or even if he loses his official position and resigns, it will be contrary to their original intention.

Gu Long gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "Lord Zhu, I did this thing. A good man is a good man, you punish me, I have no complaints! ”

Liang Yusheng also stood up and said: "Heavenly reincarnation, retribution is not happy. Since it is our own sin. Then let's pay it back ourselves. ”

Jin Yong took a step forward and said, "My lord." You are a rare famous general in the world, and you are kind-hearted, and you are really the savior of the people of the Ming Dynasty. You have a great future ahead of you, and you can't afford to risk it for us. ”

Wen Ruian was even more intense, pulled out the saber of a brocade guard in front of him, and put it on his neck to kill himself.

Why draw someone else's saber? Because I haven't arrived at Jingxi Huangzhuang yet. He didn't get the full set of equipment.

Wen Ruian said: "My lord, I stole the chicken, so I will pay for it with my life." I can only hate that I didn't die on the battlefield of exterminating Jiannu, but died on such a meaningless trivial matter. Brothers, kill a few more slaves for me. Then come to my grave and give me good tidings. ”

Before he finished his words, the tragic atmosphere had just been exaggerated a little bit, and he was knocked down by others.

It was none other than the brocade guard who had been robbed of his saber by him.

This brocade guard was angry in his heart, don't you know that Lord Zhu loves soldiers very much, and is never willing to let the brothers suffer the slightest grievance? This Wang Ping has harmed you like this, how can Lord Zhu spare him, and he will be unlucky in a while. But you're good, you're going to die or live here. The sword has no eyes, in case you accidentally hang up, you are nothing, you are dead anyway, but what about me, the person who lost the knife? If you want to die, don't bother others, especially me.

Zhu Youcheng looked at the four knights, his heart warmed, and he smiled gently: "Since you have enlisted in the army and are ready to dedicate your youth to the country, how can I be willing to wronged you?" ”

After speaking, Zhu Youcheng turned to Wang Ping and said, "You can't cut off the arrows and parade in the streets." If you are not satisfied, I can increase the amount of compensation, ten times is not enough, twenty times is not enough? A hundredfold is it okay? ”

Wang Ping sneered: "Wang is a scholar, rich and noble, poor and unswerving, mighty and unyielding, standing up to the sky, how can he be bought by a few of your stinky money?" I'm not asking too much, I'm just asking for justice. If the major general insists on his opinion, then ask the parents (prefect) of Changsha Mansion to decide the case. ”

At this time, I heard a gong in front of me, and I counted it, four gongs, four officials, it should be the prefect of Changsha Mansion.

Zhu Youcheng saw that things could no longer be good, his face was gloomy, and he asked, "Don't you regret that you threaten my soldiers like this?" The so-called leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future. If you really anger the official, not only will your life be difficult to protect, but your family will also be ruined. ”

Wang Ping heard the sound of the gong and knew that the prefect had arrived.

He knew that the national policy of the Ming Dynasty was to control the military with civilians, and the civilian officials had a psychological advantage in the face of the generals, which was just right to control this stubborn little general. And he is an important gentry in Changsha Prefecture, and when the prefect decides a case, he will definitely lean towards him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt bold, and in the face of Zhu Youcheng's murderous gaze, a sense of heroic and unyielding heroism surged in his heart.

Wang Ping said: "What if I persecute you, you thief with developed limbs and a simple mind with an army. Don't think you're a general and you can be lawless. When you see the prefect, you also have to kneel down and kowtow. The prefect said to fight, take off his pants and beat; The prefect said to kill, and if he pressed it, he would cut off his head. Are you really awesome of yourself? I respect you and call you a general, but if I don't respect you, I call you a puppet ......"

The sound of "choking" was endless, and when Jin Yiwei heard Wang Ping openly insulting Zhu Youcheng like this, he was filled with righteous indignation, and pulled out embroidered spring knives one after another, wanting to cut this daring guy.

Wang Ping saw that the soldiers pulled out their waist knives, as if the drama heard the cheers, and became even more proud.

He ripped off his shirt, exposed his chest, and said, "Come, stab the knife here." I want to see if you thieves dare to kill the gentry of the Ming Dynasty today. I go to you fathers who don't hurt and mothers don't love, you should fill the cannon barrel when you are born and be cannon fodder. You are so bold today that you dare to draw your sword and scare me. Am I scared when you are Uncle Wang? ”

Jinyiwei has strict military discipline, Zhu Youcheng didn't say to do it, and the soldiers must not move. Just now, they pulled out their waist knives in anger and righteousness, but when they came back to their senses, they were embarrassed and difficult to put away their sheaths.

Jin Yiwei's actions just now seemed to match Wang Ping's words.

He was triumphant when he saw this, but the soldiers of the brocade guard were furious.

At this time, I heard a slightly flattering voice and said: "Xiaguan see the scholar of Longtuge University, the head of the Daming Hanlin Academy, the right attendant of the military department, the Daming Administration Academy, and the master of the Daming Military Academy!" ”

It was the prefect of Changsha Mansion who spoke, and he was invited by Wang Ping.

After listening to the narration of the visitor, he was indignant in his heart, the little soldier dared to steal the chickens of the gentry's house, and there was no king's law.

He was about to send a arrester to arrest the criminal soldiers, and a master said: "My lord, slow down, there is only one ...... of troops passing through Changsha in the past few days."

The prefect immediately understood and said, "Is it the brocade guard led by the emperor's celebrity Zhu Youcheng?" ”

Master nodded.

The prefect hurriedly ordered a large banquet to prepare for a banquet for Zhu Youcheng and King Xin.

The master waved his hand and said, "Lord Owner, there are two things wrong with this matter. First, since Lord Zhu and King Xin could not enter the city, they must have their considerations. We rashly invited, for fear that it would disrupt their plans and be unbeautiful. Second, King Shin is a vassal king, and although the saints are extremely favored today, it is taboo for the vassal kings to befriend local officials, and the saints and the court must be suspicious. The king can be inferred that he is young and ignorant, and the adult becomes a scapegoat. ”

The prefect thought so and asked, "Then how should this matter be handled?" (To be continued......)
