Chapter 108: Kill and make an example

The two hours between 5 and 7 o'clock in the morning have always been the time of roll call in the army. Those who can't get it are generally going to eat military sticks.

As soon as the sergeants who were still collecting booty in the city heard that the general's guards rode their horses to give orders in various streets, no one dared to delay, and they all mentioned the loot they had collected, and hurried to the camp in Beicheng, which has now become the temporary base camp of the Sui army.

Along the way, many people who saw it were joking, while continuing to collect their loot, they were joking in twos and threes.

"Now that we have taken Liaodong City and made such a great contribution, why should the general make us happy for a few days. Even if we don't let us play with those Liao mothers-in-law, and don't let Sī collect their own booty, but it's only been half a night, and there are still many places we haven't visited. Look at the one in front, the gate is so magnificent, it must be a rich man. ”

Minzhuang, another fellow villager, immediately smiled and said, "It must be the nobles of Goguryeo, the general said that all the nobles of Goguryeo will be raided." The men were killed, and the young women were taken to the camp. Brothers, come on. ”

In front of the big camp gate in the north of the city, except for the general who received the task, all the generals stood outside the camp gate. Hundreds of officers, large and small, stood there, brightly armored and silently prestigious. This made the soldiers and civilians who were still elated feel a different atmosphere.

Many of them were busy gathering up one by one, and honestly returned to their own team, staring at this side with a pair of eyes without blinking.

"The big trough army, the time has passed, and now it's the hour." Luo Lin stood behind Chen Kefu and said softly.

Chen Kefu looked up at the sky, and after a few days of rain, it was a sunny day, and he felt that it was much higher today. The blue sky, the white clouds, and the rising sun shone on the face with incomparable warmth.

"Beat the drums, gather the generals!" Chen Kefu said slowly.

, "Beat the drums, the general has ordered troops!" Rollin said loudly to the marching band behind him.

The dull sound of the cowhide drum sounded through the sky. Even the ground in front of the camp felt as if it was jumping gently to the rhythm of the drums.

After a long drum beat, nearly 300,000 people gathered in the camp in the north of the city built by the Goguryeo people. At first glance, there is no end in sight. Chen Kefu stood on the platform that was more than ten meters high, looking at the army that had not slept after working all night, and felt like a superstar was holding a concert.

The concert of the most popular king will not have more than 300,000 fans, right?

Hundreds of thousands of people stood there in neat queues, and no one dared to speak. The entire north of the city was as quiet as water, and Chen Kefu looked at the four sides of the team below. But no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't see the end of the left and right and the back.

The queue had already been lined up near the center of the city, and the people in the back probably couldn't even see his figure.

"Brethren!"

Chen Jia regained the strength of the dantian and roared loudly.

There was no loudspeaker or sound amplifier, and in the face of the boundless sea of people, he could only shout as much as possible.

The roar was very hard, and the sound traveled far away. He heard an officer in the distance of the line repeating his words, relaying his voice to those behind.

"The dark night has passed, the wind and rain have been put away, and when I get up in the morning, the sun is shining." It was a completely new day, the best day since coming to Liaodong. I, thank you! After speaking, Chen Kefu bowed deeply to the bottom.

"Brothers, at this moment, we are stepping on the land of Liaodong City, and next to us are the wealth and women of the entire Liaodong City. Half of this wealth is yours. ”

Chen Kefu's words immediately ignited the soldiers of Minzhuang, who were busy all night, tirelessly going back and forth to the camp and all parts of the city. When looking at the piles of loot piled higher and higher, most of the people couldn't help but be a little suspicious of such a large fortune, and the general was really willing to give them half of it? Even if it is divided, I am afraid that the generals, those soldiers take most of it, and give them a small part of the rest.

At this time, hearing Chen Kefu personally mention this matter again, everyone was happy.

The general did not break his promise, and did not covet their share.

"Brethren, not only will all men be able to divide the spoils of war equally, but those who are brave in this raid will also be able to share another share of the remaining half. Not only all the brothers below have a share, but also all the brothers who are guarding the four towns of Xincheng and Nansu have a share. Although Liaodong was fought by us, without them, there would be no us. Ben will always count his words, and everyone will have a share. ”,

, "The Great General is mighty!" The Great General is mighty! The Great General is mighty! Waves of shouts came, and their voices echoed everywhere throughout Liaodong City.

This wave lasted for a long time before it slowly stopped after Chen Kefu kept pressing down and signaling with his palms.

"I promised you, I will do it." And what I ask of you, you must also do. Ben Jiang issued an order yesterday that when the whole city was cleared, all booty should not be hidden, no women should be killed, no children should be killed, and no arson should be set on fire, but those who violate the order will be beheaded without forgiveness. Early this morning, the general had another order, ordering all the soldiers and civilians of our Great Sui in the city to return to the camp at the end of the day. ”

However, some people ignored the general's order, and completely ignored the general's words. Not only did she have a woman, but she also set a fire, did you want us in Liaodong City to die with Liaodong City? After the end of the day, there are still many who have not returned to the camp at the solstice. At this time, you are in Liaodong City, and you are in my army, instead of continuing to stay in your hometown, farming and basking in the sun, doing whatever you want! ”

"No rules, no circle." In the military formation, discipline is the first priority, and if the order is not good, how can the general command the army? Luo Lin, you tell the general, how many people violated the general's order yesterday, jiānyínfù women, killed children indiscriminately, and set fire to houses? How many have not arrived? ”

Luo Lin walked up to Chen Kefu in three or two steps, took a piece of silk cloth and read, "Last night, a total of 138 people violated the order, 24 people killed children in violation of the order, and 37 people set fire to the house when they snatched the booty. More than 3,700 people did not arrive on time this morning. Everyone has been arrested by the general's personal guards, and now they are all tied up outside the camp gate and kneeling for the general's treasure."

"Whoever violates the order, kills children, and sets fire to the house." ”

After a while, a total of 199 people were escorted over," and knelt in front of Chen Jiafu in a row.

At a glance, Chen Kefu breathed a sigh of relief, the people who committed the crime were all civilian husbands, and there were not half of the sergeants in the broken barracks. It seems that the soldiers who broke the barracks deserve the name of elite, and they were not lost in this Liaodong city.

"Did you hear yesterday that the general would not allow a woman to kill children and set fire to a house?" Chen Kefu said coldly to the people below. At this time, the people had long since lost half of their excitement, and their faces were pale, and they all knew that the big thing was not good.

"Ben will talk to you, have you ever heard Ben's general order yesterday?" Chen Kefu shouted angrily.

"Back to the words of the general, I heard it. Everyone immediately replied tremblingly.

Chen Kefu said coldly: "Then you repeat my order to Ben Jiangmu!" ”

Those people were lying on the ground, and none of them dared to repeat, and a young man with more than 200,000 years of age raised his head and trembled and said, "The general will let us go once, and I won't dare to do it next time."

When the little one attacked the city yesterday, he killed two Goguryeo defenders, and his arm was cut off by 10,000 "1 Bu for a while. Just when collecting the spoils of war, he violated the general's forbidden. My lord: "You can spare me this time, 1Bu's family still has a sick mother in Chuáng, and there are several younger siblings at home, so I can't live without me at home." General, you just let me kill Goguryeo to atone for my sins." General, please spare me this time! ”

The man kept crying and screaming, and kept banging his head on the ground, and thinking about it. The people who violated the order next to them also desperately cried and begged for mercy, and kept kowtowing, and after a while, "all the heads were broken, and the blood flowed like a pillar."

Chen Kefu stood there coldly, he really wanted to scold these people severely, and then pull them down to beat dozens of military sticks, and then pull them to the logistics battalion to do coolies for a few months.

But when he thought that he would have to bring hundreds of thousands of people with him in the future, or even more, he hesitated again. There is a way that Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, and now he can't bear it for a while, so he let these people go. Then in the future, his military discipline will be despised by someone.

I remembered a sentence I once read, the reward is slowly rewarded little by little, but the punishment comes as quickly as a storm. Only in this way will they know the preciousness of the reward, and they will also know the severity of the law, and they will not regenerate contempt.

Now it is the people who are committing the crime, and the sergeants who have not broken the barracks have committed fouls. But if he just picked it up high, but finally gently let go of these people, then it is difficult to guarantee that the soldiers who break the barracks in the future will also have a luck mentality and disregard military law. It's not a good head, and it's troublesome to press it again. ,

With a long sigh, Chen Kefu said sternly, "Military law is ruthless, and once the so-called military law comes out, everything is the same. Although you are not soldiers, now that you are under the control of my barracks, you must obey the military regulations. However, those who dare to defy military law will be severely punished. The general had already issued an order yesterday, and those who dared to disobey the order would be killed. You also admit that you have heard the general's order, that is, you have committed it knowingly, and you are guilty of a first-class crime. ”

"Come on, behead all these 199 people on the spot, and pass on the whole army to follow suit."

Luo Lin stood behind Chen Kefu and said softly, "General, just give them a chance, these are not soldiers, and it is too strict to discipline them with military law." Besides, this man also said that he had made a war exploit last night, and it was the first time, so let him die. ”

Chen Kefu glared at Luo Lin, "There will be a meritorious reward and a punishment." If only those who have meritorious deeds are rewarded, but those who have done wrong are not punished, then how can they serve the public in the future? Behead all these people and show them to the public, and pass on the heads of the three armies. In addition, all the booty and bounty due to these men were sent to their families, and not a penny was missing. In addition, this man just said that he killed two defenders yesterday, check it, and if it is true, send him a corresponding reward for military merits. Also, from the general's share of the booty, send 10,000 yuan to each person's family, and ten horses of cloth. Tell them that at home, their son and husband died in the battle in Liaodong! ”

"As for the others, they will be given thirty military sticks per person, and they will be punished to the logistics battalion to feed the war horses for a month!" Lorraine, the soldiers you led the barracks are responsible for registering these trophies and distributing them to the soldiers and people, and the rest will be put into storage! The rest of the army was brought back for training by their respective officers. "After that,

Chen Kefu had a black face, jumped off the high platform, turned around and got on his horse and rode away to the inner city mansion.

For him, the order he had just given was also painful for him. In a word, 1 dent human life is gone. Those people traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong, and in the end they did not die in the hands of the Liao, but died in his hands.

But when he thought of the situation in front of him, he had to give that order again.

At present, he has 10,000 soldiers and horses, but he has 400,000 auxiliary soldiers of people, craftsmen, and craftsmen, which is not easy to manage. And now the army is being reorganized, and it is necessary to expand the number of 10,000 horses to 70,000. It can be said that this period of time is when they are at their most crisp.

If there are bad signs and those newly recruited soldiers who are already civilian husbands do not feel the sanctity of military law and are lucky, then their prospects will be very worrying. In the face of the entire Goguryeo, when there are no reinforcements and no back road, if you are not careful, these 400,000 people are likely to be submerged in this Liaodong land.

The first requirement of the army is obedience, as long as this belief is deeply implanted in the minds of those people when they first enter the barracks. Only an elite army that completely enforces the ban can allow them to survive tenaciously in this Liaodong.

Instead of a peasant rebel army, which at first had some binding force, in the end it was basically all about burning, looting, robbing, robbing, and locusts that disgusted the people with fear. In order to keep his army in the essence of the strongest elite troops of the Great Sui, he did not hesitate to show everyone his thoughts as a great general through a bloody beheading of the three armies.

If you cut off 200 heads today, you may be able to save 400,000 heads in the future. @。
