Chapter 400: Turning the tide (10)
Liu Quan's last sentence was shouted without fear.
The beating military academy, who was injured by the fall, struggled to stand up, and argued with the same red face: "Although the chief manager has deep authority, but if he kills so indiscriminately, he will not accept his duties, and all the soldiers will also disobey!"
The other two military academies who had watched the excitement before also echoed together: "Humble disobedience!"
The military academies in the camp already had different thoughts about Zhao Ning wanting to kill Liu Quan and the others, and at this time, they all looked at Zhao Ning.
On the one hand, they think that Zhao Ning's punishment is too heavy, and on the other hand, everyone is in danger - after all, as a military academy, he is not an ordinary sergeant, he has power in his hands, and the morality and behavior of most people are not fundamentally different from Liu Quan and others.
The sergeants didn't understand the situation too well, and when they saw that the generals were indignant and what they said seemed to be reasonable, they habitually supported their own generals.
They all put on a posture of Zhao Ning's unfair handling of things, and the rewards and punishments were unknown, which made them feel resentful, and it was difficult to let go of their hands to fight.
When everyone is combined, the threat is obvious.
Zhao Ning's eyes were low.
In the face of the momentum of the battalion of soldiers, he did not choose to use the power of cultivation to forcibly suppress it. Recklessness has never been his style of acting, and he has never relied on recklessness to rectify military discipline and win wars.
But not being reckless does not mean that Zhao Ning is not angry.
On the contrary, he was grieved and angry.
"Since you are not convinced, since you want to reason with Ben, then good, Benjiang will reason with you today. ”
Zhao Ning pointed to those people who were mostly yellow-faced and thin, "Before I came today, I would have visited the streets and alleys, and saw the people of the government making generous statements in front of the people, and they were full of emotions and spittle to state the survival of the family and the country, and the responsibility of loyalty.
"In the mouths of officials, if anyone does not help in the war, he is not worthy of being a man, and the crime cannot be punished!
"These people are full of blood, loyal to the country, adhering to the righteousness regardless of personal gains and losses, but they did not know before they came, when the government used the name of righteousness to kill them, they will be scolded and whipped by you, and they will be called by you as cattle instead of people!
"The officials and generals don't care if they are well fed, they don't care about their national feelings, they don't even care about their life or death!
What is the difference between this and the evil crime of calling on the people to donate money and materials for the war before the war, but secretly keeping the money and goods for themselves and enriching their own pockets? Not only is there no difference, but their hearts are even more condemnable!
"This is how my Daqi's government and army treat the loyal and righteous people and the hot-blooded sons? What is the truth? This is your bullshit truth? You still think you are very reasonable?!"
These words were like thunder, and the words of this question fell on the ears of the soldiers and people in the battalion, and it hit their hearts fiercely, making the former pale and dumb, and making the latter feel angry and emotional.
Liu Quan opened his mouth several times, wanting to refute it out loud and fight for a reason for himself, but he couldn't find any breakthrough, so he could only stubbornly say:
"The end ...... The last general is indeed a failure in his duties, but the last general will never have the heart of the people, it is all for the sake of making long-term plans for the war situation......"
"Shut up! Even now, he dares to speak like a spring, trying to reverse black and white and confuse right and wrong, which is really shameless!" Zhao Ning snorted, stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the power of cultivation was surging and pressed, and Liu Quan's legs were immediately broken!
His knee snapped and broke, and he fell to his knees with a scream, cold sweat broke out in pain, and his whole body convulsed, but under the suppression of Zhao Ning's cultivation power, he couldn't move a bit, and could only eat all the severe pain.
This scene made the other military schools all frightened, and it also made the people all look happy.
Zhao Ning said angrily: "What is the imperial dynasty and what is the country? The government, the official army, the officials, the soldiers, wearing official uniforms and holding power, represent the country in the eyes of the people!"
"The court will give you a noble status, give you glory and wealth, and let you have fine clothes and food, all you expect is that you can take care of the people a little when you are full of fat food!
"But what are you doing? You have long forgotten that Erpyu Erlu is the people's fat and the people's anointing!
"The privilege of the high and the bells and the bells do not inspire your sense of mission and compassion, nor do they make you treat the people well, but only make you feel superior, you can ride on the heads of the people to and pee, and get used to wanton and reckless taking!
"Over time, you have broken your heart, become wolf-hearted, and become non-human!"
A shouting and scolding caused silence inside and outside the camp, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
The military academy was depressed, and Zhao Ning's eyes were like seeing ghosts, full of fear; the people's faces were flushed, and looking at Zhao Ning's eyes was like seeing immortals, full of reverence.
Wei Wuxian, Song Ming and the others noticed the movement here, and they also rushed over at this time. When they heard Zhao Ning's words, although their faces were different and their reactions were slightly different, they were quite approving.
Zhao Ning's anger was unabated, and his cannibalistic gaze fell on Liu Quan and the others:
"The people serve their country with their fists, but you oppress them with the deeds of beasts, covet their money, tarnish their loyalty, make them hesitate, and let them fail their blood!
"The people are loyal to the country and sincere, but you let them have no way to serve the country!
"You have chilled the hearts of the people, so that the court has lost the support of the people, what is this dynasty called, what is this country still called, where is there any long-term war?
"Misleading the country and the people so far, I still don't know it, isn't it heinous and deserving of death?!"
"If there is only one kind of wicked person in this world, there is only one kind of villain, that is, you people look like dogs, but you only use them to show your superiority and make things difficult for the people, and you don't treat the people as people.
"If the officials and generals of the imperial dynasty are like you, what popular will I have in Daqi, and how can I resist Beihu and win the national war?!"
The words echoed over the camp like a golden ring, as if an immortal had rained down a great thunder punishment in his rage.
Many of the military academies present were struck by the blow, many of them trembled and could not stand steadily, and those who had committed evil deeds before even fell to the ground and sweated profusely, as if their souls were scattered.
And the young and strong people, because they have never met high-ranking officials and generals who can understand their situation and feelings so much, are all moved at this time.
Some people can't help but cry when they think of their grievances, some people recall the atrocities of the military academy, and some people are grateful for Zhao Ning's wisdom and justice, and their eyes are red when they look at him in distraction.
Wei Wuxian's eyes were very bright when he looked at Zhao Ning, and he secretly said in his heart: "I didn't expect that Brother Ning has such a deep understanding of the reality and relationship between the state and the people, I haven't heard anything like that before." ”
Zhao Ning's cultivation is admired by him, and he admires Zhao Ning's military talent even more, and he may not be able to see through Zhao Ning's various layouts, and now Zhao Ning has shown his knowledge outside of cultivation and military affairs.
This has long exceeded the scope of a general's disciple, and it is not even something that a "Zhenguo Gong" can cover!
Wei Wuxian has grown up rapidly over the years, and his knowledge in all aspects has long been different, but no matter how he catches up, he finds that he still has an irreparable distance from Zhao Ning.
"It seems that my father is right, Brother Ning's future is limitless. Wei Wuxian secretly understood.
After listening to Zhao Ning's words, Song Ming was deeply shocked and amazed, thinking that it was the words of a national scholar, and on the other hand, his mind was low, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of jealousy.
The other two Wang Extreme Realm cultivators, in their hearts, had a higher evaluation of Zhao Ning, and based on their respective identities, they had more ideas.
Zhao Ning didn't know what everyone was thinking, but the words just now made the resentment that had accumulated in his heart finally pour out, his chest was a lot brighter, and the anger on his face finally dissipated and returned to his normal look.
"Cut down these military academies on the spot and pass them on to the battalions. Zhao Ning waved his hand.
"Archstave...... Spare your life, Boss!"
"We knew we were wrong...... Boss!"
Liu Quan and the others couldn't get angry anymore, and begged for mercy.
It's a pity that Zhao Ning's personal guards, the cultivators in Tsing Yi, ignored them, first kicked them to the ground, and then the long knife came out of the sheath, and the head flew into the air under the knife in hand, blood gushed out, and the screams of mercy stopped abruptly.
"Wei Shilang. Zhao Ning looked at Wei Wuxian on the other roof.
"The last general!" Wei Wuxian knew that Zhao Ning was going to have a military order, and immediately clenched his fists and prepared to receive the order - although he was a soldier in the military department, when he arrived in the Yunzhou War Zone, he was Zhao Ning's subordinate, and he needed to listen to Zhao Ning's dispatch.
"Ben will give you three hours, take people to check each battalion, find out the generals and colonels who have recently committed adultery and serious violations of military law, no matter what their position, and immediately behead them for public display!"
Zhao Ning issued his strict military order to rectify military discipline and improve military-civilian relations.
"The last general commands!" Wei Wuxian promised with his fists clenched. He is a squire of the military department, and in any respect, he is the best person to take the lead in rectifying military discipline.
Zhao Ning arched his hand to Song Ming again: "The thief army is about to attack the city, this is an extraordinary time, please also ask His Highness to accompany Wei Shilang." ”
Song Ming bowed slightly: "This king has an unshirkable responsibility." ”
With him, the prince of the imperial family, coming forward and cooperating with Wei Wuxian to kill people, he could minimize the resistance and dissatisfaction of the generals, after all, he could represent the emperor himself.
After Wei Wuxian and Song Ming left, Zhao Ning glanced inside and outside the camp: "The soldiers have listened, from this moment on, if anyone dares to criticize the people, withhold food, drink, scold and whip, they will definitely be killed!"
"All the young people also listened, this battle is not only for the family and the dynasty, but also for the homeland behind you, no matter the merit and hard work, the general will not be stingy with rewards, and at the same time, he must abide by the general law, and must not slack off!"
"Obey the commander-in-chief's military orders!" the soldiers clenched their fists and promised loudly.
The generals were shocked and persuaded, and of course they did not dare not change their past mistakes.
Ordinary sergeants are also bullied by the generals on weekdays, and they already have complaints about the generals who do evil, Zhao Ning dealt with Liu Quan and others, they actually like to hear about it, and their morale is naturally rising.
As for the fact that they can no longer beat, drink, scold and beat the people, the vast majority of ordinary sergeants are not evildoers, and they are willing to accept it from the bottom of their hearts.
"Obey General Zhao's military orders!" the people all bowed and saluted, grateful.
The strong man with a fat waist and a round body who had been beaten by the military academy before even opened his voice and shouted: "I am willing to die for General Zhao!"
Wei Wuxian, who was not far from the camp, heard the soldiers and civilians shouting in unison, and glanced back at it.
In his eyes, Zhao Ning, who was standing on the roof, was outstanding.
At this moment, he suddenly realized: "The overall situation of the national war is so difficult, and the imperial mansion is in danger of toppling, and it is due to internal troubles - the court is vying for power and profit, the officialdom is dark and rotten, the army discipline does not exist, the world is corrupt, and the people's hearts are lost, and it broke out in the invasion of foreign enemies."
"Now that the Zhao clan is firmly guarding Hedong and defeating Yuan Muzhen, it is a preliminary reduction of external troubles, and Ning Ge'er is sitting in Yunzhou, and the bloody assassination of the Shifu is purging military discipline, which is beginning to cut off internal worries!
"In addition to its internal worries, it can prevent its external troubles, and only by strengthening itself can it resist strong enemies - this is the meaning of supporting the building, which can really turn the tide!"
Thinking of this, Wei Wuxian's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Zhao Ning.
His heart suddenly became brighter, and he only felt that his eyes were bright, and his fighting spirit was suddenly aroused.
Starting from this camp, as Wei Wuxian, Song Ming and others punished a small number of generals and colonels who had done obvious evil, set an example of strict military law, and briefly conveyed Zhao Ning's previous words to all places, the atmosphere of all battalions and armies in Yunzhou was suppressed.
The young men who reinforced the city defenses and carried the equipment everywhere were greatly excited and cheered.
As a result, Yunzhou was in good order, the army and the people were initially harmonious, and there were no obvious internal troubles.
Zhao Ning's prestige shocked the three armies and made hundreds of thousands of soldiers fearful; Zhao Ning's wisdom and benevolence also moved the whole city, and the people all praised him!
Zhao Ning, who completed the preparations for the big war in Yunzhou, ushered in the soldiers of the Beihu army to the city.
