However, once something has begun, the development that follows is no longer subject to human will. √∟，

The people of Yicheng who kept rushing over after hearing the news never found a chance for Chen Jinhui to close the door again. Of course, looking at the rapidly increasing gold coins, he also felt a little lucky. Eventually, several leaders of the Volunteers discussed and decided to reopen the door when it was completely dark.

It's a pity that Chen Wu came faster than they thought.

"Not good!"

Seeing the brigade of volunteer soldiers rushing towards this side, as well as Chen Wu who was riding a horse surrounded by the rebels, wearing eye-catching chain mail, and having a bad face, Chen Jinhui and several other leaders of the volunteer battalion instinctively felt that something was wrong, and quickly ordered his subordinates to close the door. However, the group of people who had already scraped together a dozen gold coins and were about to take their families out of the city were willing to argue with the rebel soldiers. The people who had just gotten the news nearby also knew that they would not have a chance to get out of the city if they missed it now, so they rushed over.

After such a delay, the infantry army that followed Chen Wu rushed to the door of the East City Gate.

As the most elite force of the Taiping Righteous Army at this stage, and has changed weapons in the arsenal, the combat effectiveness of the Righteous Army brought by Chen Wu far exceeds that of the Volunteer Battalion. In addition, the previous attack on the county government compound saw blood, which looked a little murderous. Pressed in front of them violently, the soldiers of the Volunteer Battalion who were in charge of guarding the door panicked, subconsciously took a few steps back, and turned their eyes to the leaders of the Volunteer Battalion.

And these captains looked at Chen Jinhui, who dared to boast of being the master!

Those Yicheng people who were scrambling to get out of the city, seeing the murderous arrival of the brigade of anti-thieves, it seemed that there were still big people, and they didn't dare to argue anymore, and they retreated one by one, for fear of getting into trouble.

"General!"

Being watched by everyone, Chen Jinhui was helpless, walked out hard, and gave a military salute that was not very regular.

Chen Wu parted the crowd, rode over in small steps, and didn't get off the horse, just looked at him coldly on the horseback. When Chen Jinhui's heart was weak and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, Chen Wucai opened his mouth expressionlessly and asked, "Captain Chen, there are three orders in the military regulations of the Taiping Righteous Army, what is the first one?" ”

Listening to his question, Chen Jinhui was stunned.

He thought that Chen Wu would investigate the responsibility for opening the city gate privately, but he didn't expect Chen Wu to ask this question. After thinking about it for a moment, he opened his mouth dumbly, but he didn't answer......

Dian Yong did read out the military regulations in public, and then reiterated them more than once, but Chen Jinhui was illiterate and could not understand the military regulations posted outside the camp. At this moment, he was questioned by Chen Wu, and he forgot about it eagerly, and stood there stunned.

"Humph!"

Seeing that this leader couldn't even remember the only three beheading orders, Chen Wu's face became more and more embarrassed.

He had long known that the righteous army was inferior, so when formulating the military regulations, he had deliberately compressed and streamlined it a lot, and repeatedly emphasized it with the help of several killings, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't remember it. At that moment, he coldly replied for him: "One of the three, if you don't listen to the command, cut it!" ”

This sentence is really murderous.

Chen Jinhui subconsciously shuddered, and when he thought clearly what Chen Wu meant when he asked him, his face couldn't help but change greatly.

"What a guts!" Chen Wu's anger could no longer be suppressed, and he asked loudly, "Outside the West City Gate, what is the military order I handed over to you?" ”

Chen Jinhui's face was as pale as earth, and he said tremblingly: "Close the four city gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”

"So you remember!" Chen Wu stared at him coldly and said, "Knowingly, the crime will be added to the first degree." violated the military order, opened the city without permission and let people go out, took the opportunity to swallow money, and was punished according to the law. Now, what else do you have to say? ”

"The general spares his life!"

Seeing that Chen Wu seemed to really have the intention of beheading him because of this matter, Chen Jinhui finally couldn't hold it anymore, threw down the bamboo gun in his hand, fell to the ground with a puff, and pleaded: "The villain just didn't notice it for a while, and he didn't know that this matter was so strict, so he made a mistake." Please also ask the general to spare the villain's life for the sake of the brothers......"

"Take it!"

Chen Wuli ignored it, waved his horsewhip, and directly ordered the accompanying rebels to take people.

"The general spares his life...... Spare your life! The villain is also surnamed Chen, and he is from the same family as the general, if the general cuts off the head of his family because of such a trivial matter, won't it make the righteous brothers feel chilled? As long as the general is willing to spare the villain this time, it will inevitably ...... after that Yes! ”

Chen Jinhui desperately begged for mercy, but unfortunately not only did he not say that Chen Wu was moved, but instead made him even more angry, drove the horse over and shot him personally, cutting off his head with a sword, so that the begging for mercy behind him could no longer be exported.

This little thing?

Violating military regulations and opening the city gates privately, if it is placed in a big war, it is enough to determine the survival of an army. Such a thing, dare to say small!

Damn it!

Seeing Chen Wu wielding his sword to kill, the entire East City Gate fell silent. Except for a few torches crackling and burning, the remaining rebel soldiers who were responsible for guarding the east gate were already silent. The remaining leaders were sweating like pulp on their backs, lest Chen Wu cut off their heads together.

To be honest, Chen Wu, who was angry at this moment, really had this idea.

However, he looked around at a few people and finally held back.

First, there is a lack of talent in the rebel army, and it must be relatively good to be able to be selected to temporarily serve as the captain. Second, among the remaining leaders of the volunteer battalion, there are also people from the Sun and Li families. Although Chen Wu has already taken Yicheng, he still relies on the strength of the two families at this stage. beheaded Li San before, which already made Li Dongqing quite dissatisfied. If the killing ring is opened again in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will lead to discord within the rebel army, or even detachment.

In the case of unstable foundation, it is taboo to do so.

Killing Chen Jinhui in public must have been able to scare these people for a while.

Thinking like this, he rode his horse and walked twice in front of several leaders of the rebel army, and after these people couldn't help but kneel down and beg for mercy, he said coldly: "Do you know that you are wrong?" ”

"Humble and wrong!"

"The villain will never dare to disobey the military order again!"

Several leaders of the rebel army hurriedly spoke, and their eyes occasionally fell on Chen Jinhui's corpse lying on the side, and they all moved away immediately as if they had been electrocuted, for fear that they would fall into that fate later. As for resistance, Chen Wu and Dian Yong's fierce reputation is not vegetarian, and the two of them have brought so many elites, these leaders of the rebel army really don't dare to move, so they can only wait for their fate in fear.

"The military order is like a mountain, according to the general's intention, it should have been cut down with you." Chen Wu first said the words that made their hairs stand on end, and then his tone changed, and he softened slightly: "But I think that you are the first offender, and the righteous army is the time to use people, so I will spare you once." But no wonder Ben didn't say that this was the first and last time. If you dare to disobey the military order again, this Chen Jinhui will be your fate! ”

"General Xie's grace not to kill! General Xie's grace not to kill! ”

"I must do my best to make meritorious service for my crimes!"

Hearing Chen Wu's verdict, several leaders of the rebel army thanked them again and again as if they had been granted amnesty.

This feeling of being able to decide the life and death of people with one word and grasp the power of life and death of all living beings made Chen Wu on horseback feel the beauty of power for a short time. But he was only drunk for a moment, then calmed down and commanded, "Where is Ning Gui?" Cut off Chen Jinhui's head, and quickly spread the message to the four armies. If you dare to effectively imitate Chen Jinhui's generation and open the city gate privately to disobey the military order, all of them will be beheaded! ”

"Ning Gui has to order!"

After listening to Chen Wu's instructions, Ning Gui stepped forward quickly, gave the order, and cut off Chen Jinhui's head before leaving. However, he was stopped by Chen Wu when he just turned over and got on the horse.

"You have done a great job today."

Chen Wuwen encouraged him, leaned over and took off the jade and jade wrench in Chen Jinhui's hand, wiped off the warm bloodstains, and threw it to Ning Gui: "This ill-gotten wealth should have been handed over to the righteous army." Now I will be the master of the reward for you, and it will be regarded as a reward sent in advance. ”

Saying this, he looked at the other rebels at the East City Gate, and saw that many people were full of fear and envy in their eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "You don't have to be envious, my Taiping Righteous Army has always had clear rewards and punishments." Chen Jinhui violated the military order and opened the city gate privately, so he beheaded the public. Ning Gui fought bravely before, and reported to the general in time, so naturally there were treasures to give him, and there would be additional food and silver rewards later. As long as you fight bravely and are loyal to the righteous army in the future, the general will never hesitate to give a reward. ”

Meritorious service will be rewarded, and fault will be punished!

To be able to do these two things, an army is at least half of the first.
