The first to wake up from the mess were the officers, and the front team Zheng Hao Bing, who was not convinced by Wang Zhenyu on weekdays, was the first to shout: "Wang Guandao, you can't do this, if you want to beat you, I will beat Lao Hao, it is my Lao Hao who led the troops and didn't bring ......."

The onlookers and gentry were even more chaotic, after all, the chief was well-informed, and he was the first to run out, Lord Wang, can you not be like this, speaking of which, this matter is not related to the work of supporting the army in our place. Wouldn't thou shalt thou take twenty sticks for this, and thou wilt thou slap us in the face? The gentry stepped forward one after another, gossiping to dissuade them.

What Wang Zhenyu wants is the current effect, how can there be a reason to give up halfway because of a few words from others. He waved his hand very arrogantly: "The military order is like a mountain, and the execution will be carried out immediately." ”

After speaking, Wang Zhenyu took off his shirt, shirtless, and stood with his hands on the beam of the roadside waiting for the execution, but no one came up for a long time, Wang Zhenyu was furious: "Bastard, if you are a pipe belt, you are farting, do it!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and at this time, Ma Xicheng ran over and whispered: "Master Guan, we don't have a military judge, who should do this?" ”

Uh, Wang Zhenyu's old face is red, damn, why didn't you say it earlier, didn't this make me look foreign? I won't catch a cold on such a cold day! He glanced at Ma Xicheng: "Then you come, come really, don't harm my good deeds." ”

After more contact this day, Wang Zhenyu found that this cousin looks honest on the outside, but in fact, he is very thoughtful, he is also very smart, and many things are thorough, with his cooperation, this scene is estimated to be completed.

Marcy understood and immediately went to get the military stick.

"One" When the first stick came down, although Wang Zhenyu felt pain, but it was nothing, but the soldiers were shocked, the queue stood straight, and everyone looked at Wang Zhenyu who was being tortured. Seeing that the stick really fell on Wang Guandao's back, everyone was in an extremely complicated mood.

The most complicated of this is Zhao Dongsheng, who is very unconvinced by this little white-faced pipe belt. In his opinion, how can these dog officials know the difficulties of their big-headed soldiers, how can they care about their life and death, all they think about is nothing more than to exchange the lives of their brothers for a good top. But everything that happened in front of him made Zhao Dongsheng feel that he was wrong, maybe Wang Guandao was different from other officials, and he was really a good officer.

Every time the stick goes down, what is left on Wang Zhenyu's back is a deep red mark, and in Zhao Dongsheng's heart, it is uncomfortable.

When the tenth stick cracked the skin on Wang Zhenyu's back, and the blood slowly overflowed from the red mark on his back, Hao Bing no longer ignored Yang Wangui's obstruction, and knelt down in public: "Pipe belt, you can't be like this, you let me Lao Hao be a person in the future!" Yang Wangui and Song Xianfu also knelt down unconsciously, and more than 700 men behind him also knelt down in unison.

Zhao Dongsheng, who has always been stubborn, completely collapsed, he was crazy to break free from the control of the guards, he shouted hoarsely: "My lord, you let me die, my Zhao Laosan is wrong, I am wrong, I want to beat you and beat me, kill me." ”

Zhao Dongsheng's 1.8-meter-tall man really couldn't break free, and he was so sad that he burst into tears, and his head was buried deep in the ground.

In fact, Wang Zhenyu felt bad when he was hit by the eighth stick, it hurt so much, it was hot.

It can't be called pain yet, as soon as it is called, the effect will be discounted, Wang Zhenyu gritted his teeth and resisted.

If I had known, I wouldn't have said that the number was as big as twenty, and in the future, it would not be a cadre who made a mistake and would be fined three glasses of wine, and it would be good to hit it three times. My day, Marcy becomes your dog's day, you are still my cousin, no, you are really beating!

This is really wronged Marcy, don't look at him beating hard, it seems that the skin is open and the flesh is blurred, but this kid has learned from his uncle who used to be in charge of playing boards in the Yamen of Baoqing Mansion, and he knows the doorway here. So don't look at the tragic situation of the skin and flesh, in fact, it has not hurt the muscles and bones, all of them are hard injuries.

After twenty sticks, Wang Zhenyu felt like a century had passed. Ho, I can still ventilate normally, it seems that my cousin is left behind. Wang Zhenyu was in no hurry to get dressed, even though it was almost early winter.

He straightened up as if nothing had happened, and said to everyone: "You all remember to me that we are soldiers. Others can laugh at us and look down on us, but we can't look down on ourselves, military discipline is heaven, if we don't even keep military discipline, what is the difference between us and bandits. What qualifications do you have to be respected? Your own face is earned by yourself, not from the sky. ”

"I brought you from my hometown in Hunan to this place, I came to kill Tartars to serve the country, not to be bandits." Some of the preambles don't match the afterword, he glanced deeply at Yang Wangui and the others, he has no words, and now someone needs to come out to save the scene.

It's a pity that these veterans didn't react at all, but they looked at themselves stupidly like those big-headed soldiers, which was really hateful, Wang Zhenyu was so angry that he secretly gritted his teeth.

Fortunately, Yang Wangui saw the annoyance of the pipe band, and immediately understood what the tone of that look was just now. He immediately stood up, raised his right hand and shouted: "Kill all the Tartars, restore my China."

The emotions brewed by the soldiers' self-punishment by Wang Zhenyu made Yang Wangui's shout suddenly ignited, and everyone raised their right hands and shouted excitedly: "Kill all the Tartars and restore my China."

Many soldiers shouted and burst into tears of excitement, what else could they say with such a good pipe band. He treats us as human beings, and we will follow him to the end.

Wang Zhenyu is very satisfied with this situation, the biggest characteristic of these uneducated people is that they are easy to deceive. The key depends on how you cheat, at least now it seems that you didn't suffer in vain, oops, it hurts!

Then it was Zhao Dongsheng's turn to be tortured, and he was already in tears. Regretting his behavior for the first time after growing so big, Zhao Dongsheng at this moment was eager to repay the pipe belt with death, and the stick on his body was atonement for him, just asking for heavier and more ruthless.

Looking at this man who didn't hum, Wang Zhenyu, who had just simply treated the wound, couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart, and at this time, the chief and the squires rushed up and kept patting Wang Zhenyu's ass, and praised the aid of the Hubei and Hunan troops as a civilized and mighty army. Wang Zhenyu thanked them one by one, a group of sycophants.

Wang Zhenyu explained to Ma Xicheng while getting dressed: "Transfer the child named Song Haomin to the battalion headquarters to listen to the errand, this kid should have read a book, find a doctor for his brother to take a look, the hot and cold is estimated to be a swing, and eating chicken can be used as a fart." By the way, this golden medicine is for that bastard boy, it's a man! In addition, kill one more pig at night so that everyone can eat enough. ”

Ma Xicheng nodded silently, and suddenly asked softly: "Then you can't take this medicine, where are you going?" ”

Wang Zhenyu glanced at Ma Xicheng very indifferently: "Come back and go again, I have to go to see the commander-in-chief immediately, this matter of military salary cannot be delayed, otherwise we will not use Tartars to fight on the battlefield, and we will be defeated first." ”

Ma Xicheng felt that this cousin had fallen off the horse since he hit it, it was different, Wang Zhenyu would this idle mind in the past, what did the uncle say, or let himself watch it, did that fall make people smart?

Ma Xicheng is used to not thinking about problems that he can't figure out, he nodded, and went to do the things that Wang Zhenyu explained first.

After Zhao Dongsheng was tortured, he looked at Wang Zhenyu with a pale face, Wang Zhenyu didn't say anything, just signaled him to return to the team.

Then he ordered all the units to be disbanded on the spot, but several teams followed Wang Zhenyu all the way to the battalion headquarters, Wang Zhenyu knew that they had no bottom in their hearts, and they didn't break it: "I'm going to go to the standard department to see the commander-in-chief, what are you doing with me?" ”

Several teams were a little embarrassed, but they didn't know what to say.

Wang Zhenyu smiled and patted Hao Bing's shoulder: "The matter (responsibility) is not on you, it is not easy for you to lead the troops, I think that Zhao Dongsheng is not bad, and he is also righteous, and when he is injured, he will be transferred to the battalion headquarters to be a guard for me." ”

Hao Bing felt guilty in his heart, and when he saw that Guan Dao really didn't blame himself, even the troublesome Zhao Dongsheng had to be transferred to be a guard, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded his head in agreement.

Wang Zhenyu glanced at Yang Wangui again, said a good word of approval to this mustache, and took the reins from the guards and set off for the marking department.

When he arrived at the standard department, Wang Zhenyu first told Wang Longzhong about today's events, and Wang Longzhong praised him for his appearance and knew how to lead the troops. Then Wang Zhenyu discussed the matter of military salary with Wang Longzhong, and explained the power. Wang Longzhong happened to get a reward of 100,000 oceans from the Hubei Military Government, and this money was given to the entire Hubei and Hunan Army, but as soon as Wang Zhenyu was told, Wang Longzhong, who was thick and fine, quickly understood the stakes. It was immediately decided to first distribute the arrears of more than 2,000 brothers in this specimen, and it was paid in full, 8 yuan per person for one month, and 24 yuan for three months, obediently, almost 50,000 oceans were released at once.

Although it is a little painful, Wang Longzhong is also a person who leads troops, and he also knows the truth that the emperor is not hungry when he is in battle.

Before dinner, Wang Zhenyu brought back the small 20,000 oceans belonging to the second battalion, and then distributed the full amount to the officers and men of the battalion according to the list.

When it was Zhao Dongsheng's turn to be in the front team's shed, Zhao Dongsheng refused to take it, he pounced and knelt on the ground and said: "Wang Guan, I, Zhao Laosan, have no face to take this money." ”

Wang Zhenyu took two steps forward and hugged Zhao Dongsheng very powerfully: "A man kneels to the sky and kneels to his parents, and he is not allowed to kneel to others casually in the future." Today's matter, you don't have to blame yourself too much, a penny is hard to die a hero, and after my twenty military sticks, you Zhao Dongsheng is still a man who stands up to the sky. The money is yours, you take it, you really feel ashamed, go to the battlefield to wash it. ”

Zhao Dongsheng was excited: "I, Zhao Laosan, have lived for twenty-five years, and your Wang Guandao is the first official to treat me Zhao Laosan as a person, and my Zhao Laosan's life is yours." I will do whatever you want the third child to do, if I frown for a while, I Zhao Laosan will not die with three knives and six holes. ”

As he spoke, his eyes were red, but Wang Zhenyu didn't know what to say. At this time, Hao Bing came over to relieve him: "Big man Zhao, you make it clear, when did Lao Tzu not treat you as a human being before, you rabbit cub." ”

Zhao Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, shrugged his nose, and then muttered: "You are a team leader, not a big official." ”

Wang Zhenyu took the lead in laughing when he heard this, and the people around him laughed, only Hao Bing was made to cry and laugh, so he could only blow his beard and stare at Zhao Dongsheng, this two hundred and five.

When it was the turn of the left team, Yang Wangui, the team leader, quietly asked Wang Zhenyu, weishenme is distributed in full, isn't the old rule only half of it? Aren't you afraid that the big-headed soldiers will slip away after getting their full pay?

Wang Zhenyu said loudly to the brothers in the camp: "Money, I will give you a lot of money, if there are brothers who want to leave, I will never force anyone to stay, but tonight must also let me eat, rice and pork, enough!" The brother who is willing to stay, that is, I can trust the king, there is nothing else to say, let's do a career together, do a man's career. No more people dare to look down on us! ”

The soldiers were all excited, and they didn't know who was leading the way, and more than 700 men shouted in unison: "I am willing to swear to follow Lord Guanbi, and I am willing to swear to follow Master Guanbi......"

Seeing this scene, Wang Zhenyu felt that he was full of liliang, and he knew that these more than 700 sturdy men were now his own.

Wang Zhenyu excitedly shouted "Hunan Army mighty"

More than 700 men also shouted: The Hunan army is mighty, the Hunan army is mighty......

The shouts of more than 700 hot-blooded men soared into the sky.

That year, I was only 16 years old, and at that moment, I met an unborn hero - "In the Days of Following Wang Shuai", the author Song Haomin.
