3-24 Turmoil

With a cry of "A certain family is not convinced!" "A big man stood up, it was the king of the thousand households of the Tiger Benying camp. He said angrily: ""Ten Chops and Twenty Punishments" is not used like that, even if Fan Qianhu does not reach the big tent even if the three-way drum sounds, it is also the punishment of fifty military sticks, where did the beheading come from? ? With such a careless regard for human life, Vice General Liu clearly distinguishes you as a personal vendetta! ”

"You remember the military discipline very well, but did I say that he was killed because he was late and pretended to be sick? I am strong because he picks quarrels and provokes trouble, intending to rebel! Liu Ziguang stared at Wang Dahai and said. Pointing to the outside of the account, a few of the Tiger Wing Battalion soldiers brought by Fan Jianqiang outside had been controlled by Liu Ziguang's men.

The military regulation of picking quarrels and provoking troubles is mainly applicable to ordinary soldiers, used to stop the phenomenon of private fighting in the army, and it is unheard of to be used on officers, everyone feels that something is wrong, but it is not written in military law that it cannot be applied to officers, and this loophole was seized by Liu Ziguang. The crime of attempting to rebel is to put on a big hat, lead troops straight into the Chinese army, point at the nose of the commander and scold him, it is not impossible to be said to want to rebel. So Fan Jianqiang died unjustly.

Wang Dahai was speechless for a while, his personal relationship with Fan Jianqiang was not very deep on weekdays, but he had the same opinion of the new Vice General Liu, and they all looked down on this general who only had the courage of a horseman. Now that Liu Ziguang has quickly slashed Fan Jianqiang with his official level and knife skills, he is still very indignant.

"Fan Qianhu has great achievements, but he is not satisfied with you being the deputy general, how can he say that he will be killed?" Wang Dahai continued to say hard.

"If you have merit, you can rebel and not be punished? I heard that the former deputy factory owner Yu Hualong has a lot of credit, but once he rebels, he will not be punished by Ming Zheng. Wang Qianhu, you always work against Ben General, don't you obey me? Do you want to try my blade fast? Liu Ziguang touched the handle of the knife and said.

"You have a very sharp blade, you have seen it just now, but the blade of a certain family is not disadvantageous!" Wang Dahai said categorically: "Although you are strong in martial arts, but it is only the courage of a horseman, it is okay to be a captain, a flag general and the like, as the so-called wielding a soldier and pointing a sword, and deciding doubts in the face of difficulties, it is a general, and the blade of a sword is not a general, when we are the main general of 3,000 people, most of the people here must be unconvinced." Can you kill us all? ”

"Oh, then tell me what kind of person is worthy of being your commander, if it is really better than me, then I am willing to let Xian." Liu Ziguang said in his heart that it is not enough to rely on iron-blooded means alone, these guys are still very kind, and it is best to really subdue them.

"Of course, there is a handsome talent who is skilled in bows and horses, and it is Li Yan, the thousand general manager of the Huwei Battalion!" Wang Dahai said loudly: "Li Qianhu has been familiar with military books since childhood, and loves soldiers like children, and is deeply loved by the soldiers, the day before yesterday when he personally led more than 1,000 cavalry patrols in the headquarters, he happened to encounter the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Qing army under the white flag, and Li Qianhu took the lead in the case of no retreat, and fought hard with the Tartars, sacrificing 300 brothers, but killing 600 enemies, which is enough to prove that the cavalry of the Huwei battalion is better at field warfare than the Tartar cavalry. Li Qianhu arranged for dozens of horsemen to drag branches in the woods next to them, kicking up smoke and dust to create the illusion that reinforcements were coming, and scared the Tartars so much that they left their corpses on the ground and fled. Do you think that such a brave and resourceful general is more suitable than a man who was born as a slave and has never led a soldier to be our commander? ”

Unexpectedly, this Li Yan was still a powerful character, Liu Ziguang couldn't help but take a closer look at Li Yan, the officer on duty, and saw that he was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a white complexion, a long body, and a heavy armor but still agile movements, and he really had the demeanor of a Confucian general. Seeing Liu Ziguang's gaze sweeping over, Li Yan was unmoved, sticking to his duties as a duty officer, and his face was as usual, as if the person mentioned by Wang Dahai was not him at all.

"One thousand against three thousand, three hundred self-wounded and six hundred enemies killed, it is indeed an impressive record, and the cavalry of the Xuzhou army can only have a one-on-one tie with the Qing soldiers. It seems that Li Qianhu is really a general. Liu Ziguang praised.

"But on my way to Yanzhou, I also happened to meet fifteen hundred Tartars with white flags, and these guys saw that we were a convoy, and there were only 100 cavalry and 400 infantry escorts, so they thought we were big fat meat. But when they met this general, they didn't eat the fat but gnawed on the iron plate, and you can see the specific battle results outside the gate of my death camp, alas, our side also unfortunately killed more than 30 people, what a pity. Liu Ziguang said.

The relationship between the death camp and the iron guard has not been very harmonious, so the barracks are not tied together, but are formed into a separate camp, according to Liu Ziguang's instructions, 1,500 human heads are piled up outside the gate in the shape of a pyramid, which may have just been completed at this time.

Liu Ziguang thought that it would be more convincing to speak with facts, so he led the thirty-five generals to walk to the gate of the death camp, pointed to the bloody pyramid of human heads and said, "I am not good at arithmetic, which of you can calculate how many heads there are?" ”

Most of the generals have learned arithmetic such as chickens and rabbits in the same cage, and soon calculated the number of heads according to the length, width and height of the pyramid, which is exactly 1,500, and the heads have been cut off for a few hours, and they are all bloodless, but the eyebrows are still lifelike, and the generals are used to seeing the faces of the Qing army, and they know that this is definitely not a random slaughter of villagers or something, not even the green camp of the Han army, but an authentic soldier of the Eight Banners, and the top head also brought a helmet, Wang Dahai recognized who it was at a glance, He pointed to the head and shouted, "Isn't that the fierce general Ebi Long under Aobai!" I've fought him a few times, and I've suffered his losses. ”

Seeing this, Liu Ziguang sneered: "I rode five hundred steps to the death camp, and when I was resting and eating at noon, I encountered a surprise attack by the Qing army, and hurriedly met the battle and annihilated the enemy, beheaded a thousand and five, and lost thirty of myself, I don't know if such a record can enter the eyes of Wang Qianhu?" ”

"Fear of despicability." Wang Dahai knelt down on one knee to apologize to Liu Ziguang, and what made him change was not only the 1,500 heads, but also the meticulous death camp, which was clearly an iron camp set up by the experts who marched and arranged the formation. There are fully armed guards standing at the gate of the camp, the four corners of the camp are set up with a two-zhang high corner tower, and there are sentinels with clairvoyant mirrors standing on it, the camp is well arranged, the drainage ditch is dug outside the tent, the horses are tied to the side of the cavalry tent, the weapons are inserted in the ground, and they can be mounted and fought at any time, the vehicles are surrounded by a semi-circular defensive circle, and the ballistae and cannons are all rushing outside. In fact, there is nothing to do with Liu Ziguang at all, leading troops to fight, marching and camping, he doesn't know anything, it is all from the following company commanders Zhang Luo.

Wang Dahai took it for granted that this was the result of Liu Ziguang's rigorous management of the army, and in the case of an ambush, he could calmly respond to the battle, injure himself thirty, and completely annihilate 1,500 enemy troops. He said convincingly: "Vice General Liu is really a person who knows the soldiers, and he was reckless before his humble position, please punish the general." ”

Accepting the general without using a knife, Liu Ziguang couldn't help but feel a little proud, stood up straight, shook the aura of the king on his body, and said with full anger: "It's okay, Wang Qianhu is also an upright person, I appreciate it." ”

The other generals had nothing to say when they saw this scene. The situation is stronger than people, people's backers are hard, their official ranks are high, their martial arts are high, and they are even more masters in war, so they can't accept it.

Everyone bowed down together and saluted: "General Shenwu, we will respect." At least on the surface, everyone recognized Liu Ziguang as their boss.

"Well said, well said." Liu Ziguang stretched out the hand that had just finished killing to support Wang Dahai, and said to everyone: "In the future, we will all be my own brothers, I hope everyone will work together to kill the Tartars." ”

Suddenly, a flag commander of the patrol camp ran over panting with an iron helmet, they didn't know Liu Ziguang yet, and said to Li Yan, the officer on duty: "Lord Qiyu, the big thing is not good, the new boys and our people fought because of the water, they shot extremely hard, and seriously injured several brothers in the Tiger Wing Battalion." ”

Li Yan shouted in a low voice: "Bastard, what are our brothers!" Vice General Liu is here to preside over the overall situation, so let's report something to the general. ”

Mr. Qi was wearing a standard black uniform of an iron guard, and he followed Li Yan's guidance to look at Liu Ziguang, and found that the newly appointed General Liu and the newcomers were wearing the same red robes. ”

Liu Ziguang knew that this flag was always a petty officer who was responsible for picketing military discipline, and he usually took dozens of subordinates, with red belts wrapped around his arms, and patrolled the battalion with military sticks.

"How many people died? How did you deal with it? Liu Ziguang asked calmly, what he was most concerned about was whether this fight was won, and he also knew the temper of his subordinates, if he fought, he would definitely die, and if he encountered the suppression of the military discipline team, he was afraid that even the gendarmes would fight together.

"General Hui, it was the newly arrived brother who had a conflict with the Tiger Wing Battalion when he was fetching water by the river today, and one person died, and now he is confronting the people of the Tiger Wing Battalion, and the military discipline team can't hold it down."

"Let's go, let's take a look." Liu Ziguang was afraid that his own people would suffer, so he hurriedly asked Mr. Qi to lead the way to the place of the incident, and he also specially threw a look at his own soldiers, and the soldiers slipped back to the big tent to pull reinforcements.

The army camped, generally have to choose near the water source, tens of thousands of horses to drink and wash by the battalion to send a water truck to get water, the death camp camped relatively late, so until now there is no cooking, each company sent a man water truck to the river to get water, is encountering a group of iron guards of the Tiger Wing Battalion, the contradiction between the iron guard and the death camp has a long history, there are a lot of blood feuds between each other, so the iron guards want to take the opportunity to seek revenge, they ran to the upper reaches of the river to pee collectively, which can anger the men of the death camp, there is no extra nonsense, go up and beat, The two gangs of people fought together, one of the most arrogant guards in the melee was pressed into the water and drowned, fortunately the two sides did not use weapons, otherwise it would not have been one or two dead, the military discipline team heard the news and rushed to hit the past, and finally separated the two sides, the Tiger Wing Battalion found out that the captain of their leader was dead, so they made a fuss again, asked the other party to pay for their lives, and called more Tiger Wing Battalion soldiers, if it were not for the military discipline team to protect them, maybe those guys had been torn to pieces by the angry Iron Guards.

When Liu Ziguang came to the scene with the generals, more people had gathered, and even many iron guards put on their armor, holding spears and swords, and the crowd was excited, and the faction would never withdraw their troops if they did not punish the murderer. Seeing the officers coming, the arrogance of the soldiers suddenly dropped a lot, and the hundred generals of the Tiger Wing Battalion hurriedly gathered their own soldiers, and only then did they reveal the military discipline team and ten men in the encirclement.

Liu Ziguang walked closer and saw that the guys all had blue noses and swollen faces, blood on their faces, and they all still had expressions that were not afraid of death.

"Did you suffer a loss?" Liu Ziguang asked.

"I didn't embarrass the general, I killed one of them, we all had skin injuries." The guys proudly reported.

"Very good, worthy of being our guy in the death camp." Liu Ziguang seems to have returned to the time when he was a slave, when everyone dealt with the iron guards together, and this was the feeling of hatred and hatred.

However, now that he is the deputy general of the Iron Guard, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and the practice of favoritism will definitely not convince the Iron Guard, and if this matter is not handled properly, it may affect the distrust of the three thousand Iron Guards, and it will also deepen the hatred between the two armies.

"Well, who killed the man?" Liu Ziguang asked.

A guy stood up and said, "It's me." "This person is Liu Ziguang's old acquaintance, and it was the cook who burned the second miss's dog Black Tiger into a pot of Huajiang dog meat with skin in Guizhou.

"What should be done according to military law?" Liu Ziguang asked the flag chief of the military discipline team.

"Those who pick quarrels and provoke troubles shall be beheaded; Privateer murderer, beheaded; Whoever gathers a crowd to fight, a hundred military sticks; Whoever fights with weapons shall be beheaded. "Mr. Qi is very familiar with the Iron Guard Military Law, and immediately reported several crimes and punishments involved today. The faces of the guys changed slightly after hearing this, could they really kill people to pay for their lives?

Liu Ziguang paced back and forth, whether he wanted a military heart or a brother, this decision was more difficult to make. Everyone's eyes fell on him, and the soldiers of the Tiger Wing Battalion calmed down a little under the pressure of the officer's bullets, and at this time, seeing that the new commander did not immediately order the disposal of the murderer, they began to stir again, "Kill for your life!" I don't know who shouted, and then more people shouted: "Kill to pay for your life!" Kill for your life! ”
