The next day, the sky was not yet bright, and it was the darkest time before dawn, the north gate and the east gate of Changsha City had been opened, and the two Taiping troops took advantage of the night to pull out of the city and quietly disappeared under the thick night. The Taiping army on the north road was also mixed with dozens of pack horse carts, which were covered with straw mats, and the front end showed a swarthy cannon muzzle. Under the light of the blazing torches, seeing that the faces of the Taiping Army soldiers were full of determination and coldness, and there was a strong sense of slaughter on their bodies, which shocked Xiao Yungui's heart, and he muttered to himself: "It turns out that sending people to die is such a feeling......

More than 1,000 Taiping soldiers rushed out of the city, and they were covered with yellow vests and white edges, which was a special mark that only the soldiers and horses under the Western King would have. The six kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were all dressed differently when they deployed their soldiers and horses, and the subordinates of the Heavenly King were all yellow vests with no piping; A subordinate of the East King, with a yellow vest and green piping; A subordinate of the West King, with a yellow vest and white piping; Nanwang's subordinates, yellow vests, red piping; A subordinate of the North King, with a yellow vest and black trim; Wing King's subordinate, yellow vest, blue piping; The rest of the soldiers and horses were all wearing red vests, yellow trim or green trim variegated uniforms, which could be known by looking at the uniforms of who were subordinate in the Taiping army.

Xiao Yungui watched Li Kaifang's department disappear into the night at the head of the city, and then he and Zeng Shuiyuan and others went to the yacang in the south of the city, and he wanted to personally inspect the money and grain donated yesterday.

Everyone rode their horses to the front of the yacang, but saw several Taiping new soldiers guarding the yacang sleeping soundly in the pergola, Zeng Shuiyuan was furious when he saw it, and the card knife hand who followed the order immediately stepped forward and arrested a few people.

Several new soldiers were pressed to the ground, only to wake up like a dream, and when they raised their eyes, they saw that it was Xiao Yungui, Zeng Shuiyuan and others, and they couldn't help but be frightened.

Zeng Shuiyuan dismounted and stepped forward to speak, and scolded: "I asked you to guard the yacang, but a few of you are sleeping here?!" What if a demon or a traitor comes to set the fire?! These rice grains are very important, don't you want to die?! I told you before, in the past, you were the Heaven and Earth Society, and I couldn't control it, but now you are the Taiping Holy Soldiers! I will get rid of your gang habits of being sloppy and hanging, are you farting when I speak?! ”

There are many people in the hands of the card knife who came together are the new army of the Heaven and Earth Society, Zeng Shuiyuan's scolding, everyone's face is full of indignation, but Zeng Shuiyuan is a general in the army, and everyone just dares to be angry and dare not speak.

Xiao Yungui frowned, this Zeng Shuiyuan is too unpleasant, whoever makes a mistake will deal with him, what will he do if he just pulls heaven and earth? At that moment, Xiao Yungui also got off the horse, stepped forward and said warmly: "Zeng Guard, you can punish whoever makes a mistake, there is no need to mention anything else." ”

Zeng Shuiyuan seemed to be confused, and pointed to a few people kneeling on the ground: "King Xi, don't you know, since I entered the city, how many cases of new army violations of military regulations have I dealt with, either secretly gathering and gambling, or hiding food privately, or fighting with each other, and their own people beat their own people, what is the difference between them taking the red scarves on their heads and those Qing Demon Green Battalion soldiers?!" It's a bunch of fucking gang bandits! ”

Zeng Shuiyuan's words were a bit excessive, and the original heaven and earth congregations among the soldiers shouted one after another, and Zeng Shuiyuan shouted angrily: "You still dare to fight back?!" Are you still the Holy Soldiers of the Peace?! ”

Xiao Yungui's face became uncertain, if he didn't make a sound, it would cause a big disaster, and he shouted at the moment: "Enough! This sound was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, the sound shook in all directions, and everyone was startled, and they all fell silent for a while.

Xiao Yungui looked at everyone with a calm face, all the soldiers were uneasy, Xiao Yungui walked in front of the soldiers one by one, and the sharp eyes saw that the new soldiers all lowered their heads. …,

"I said before you joined the peace, from now on, you are no longer stragglers, you are no longer ordinary people, you are the holy soldiers of the heavenly kingdom, there are laws in the army, and everyone must obey them!" Xiao Yungui said loudly as he walked: "If you can't control yourself, you have to be governed by military law!" The reason why we are different from the Qing Demon is that our Taiping Holy Soldiers are strictly disciplined! I stood up for what I was clamoring just now! ”

All the new troops lowered their heads, but no one dared to stand up, Xiao Yungui shouted: "What about the courage to shout just now? You're still not a man with a handlebar? Didn't you stand up?! ”

After a few words, several noisy Taiping New Army stood up, and Xiao Yungui snorted and said, "It's still a man." He turned his head and looked at Zeng Shuiyuan and said, "What should I do if I collide with the official and the guard on duty?" ”

Zeng Shuiyuan replied: "If you hit the official, you should beat 80 military sticks, and if you sleep on duty, you should beat 200 military sticks." ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "Military discipline cannot be wasted, and it should be disposed of according to military discipline." Then he glanced at Zeng Shuiyuan and said: "Zeng Guard, you are inappropriate, and you are a Yacang guard, your subordinates make mistakes and neglect their duties, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

Zeng Shuiyuan was stunned, and hugged his fists and said: "It's also two hundred military sticks, and my subordinates know their mistakes and are willing to be punished." ”

Xiao Yungui snorted, looked at everyone and said slowly, "Have you seen it?" What this king wants is this kind of iron law of military rules and prohibitions! Then he let out a long breath and said: "This king has neglected to discipline you these days, and it is also his duty, and this king will take it himself...... A hundred military sticks! He wanted to say 200 sticks, but he was really afraid of the pain, so he changed his words and beat himself with 100 sticks.

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "King Xi, it is us who have made mistakes and are willing to be punished." "The King of the West can't be like this, I won't dare to violate military rules in the future." "King Xi, take back your fate."

Xiao Yungui shook his head and said: "No, this Wang Junji treats everyone equally, there is no distinction between relatives and aliens, and there is no old man or newcomer, everyone must work together in the army, they are all brothers and sisters, and there can be no estrangement!" This king makes a mistake and fights as if he were wrong! ”

Everyone persuaded them several times, but Xiao Yungui just didn't allow it, and under strict orders, Xiao Yungui, Zeng Shuiyuan, and a group of new soldiers who made mistakes received the military stick together in front of the yacang.

A crackling of military sticks came down, Rao is Xiao Yungui has rough skin and thick flesh, and he almost can't get up, Zeng Shuiyuan can't get up directly.

After the fight, Xiao Yungui endured the pain and barely stood up, but saw that the faces of the new army were full of reverence, knowing that his bitter calculation had been completed, and he had finally eliminated a disaster.

In the past few days, Xiao Yungui has heard many discordant words, all saying that the Taiping New Army's Heaven and Earth Congregation and the Jianghu Gang of the Pao Ge Congregation are too habitual, and they often do not abide by military discipline and are disorganized. These people have only been in the Taiping Army for a short time, and they have been marching and fighting all the time, and they are better when they don't have much free time, and these people are a little restrained. But after entering the city, there is more free time, and the habits that these people have developed for a long time have relapsed, and they have always been people who have been in the rivers and lakes and the people for a long time, and how can they change their free and loose habits for a while?

The old long-haired people in the Taiping army were not accustomed to these people's style, and the two groups of people were mostly Guangxi people on one side and Hunanese on the other, and the two sides gradually became discordant.

Xiao Yungui also knew that it was not possible to screw the two groups of people together overnight, at this time, Zeng Shuiyuan scolded him in person, and moved out of the Heaven and Earth Association to say, Xiao Yungui had to hurriedly stop, and fought to defeat himself to resolve the dissatisfaction of the Taiping New Army, he must not take sides with either side, otherwise things will become difficult to clean up, so the people on both sides of him have beaten.

After the incomparably noble King Xi was punished in public, a group of Taiping New Army was really moved, they had never seen the leader beat him, and the King of the West even beat Zeng Shuiyuan, and the doubts in his heart suddenly dissipated.
