Chapter 26: The atmosphere is not harmonious

Sending the emperor away, and then the Wujin warriors looked very excited.

"Your Majesty understands the suffering of our people, it is really the emperor's grace." Huang Degong said excitedly.

"Isn't that right, otherwise why would Your Majesty come to Xiyuan specifically, this is to come to see us." That is to say, our Wu Jinshi has a low status, and if we want to change to Wen Jinshi, we are the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven. Li Yan said with a straight smile.

"Let's talk about the Soldiers' Council, shall we?" Cao Bianjiao sighed and asked.

"What else do you have to say, Your Majesty has said it, of course it is going to be established! Otherwise, King Xu Yan and those gentlemen would still think that we are really easy to bully! Zhou Yuji said as a matter of course.

"But I'm afraid that we will clash with King Xu Yan and them, and we will wear more small shoes in the future, after all, they are instructors, the head of the brocade guard, and the prince of the prince, we can't afford to mess with them." Cao changed Jiao's rational way.

"That's why it's true!" Li Yanzhi changed his hippie smile and said seriously, "There are six departments and six departments in the imperial court, and there are seven local inspectors and supervisors who check and balance. When His Majesty set up a new army, he inevitably did not want to see the power completely controlled by the generals, and the establishment of a soldiers' committee was a check and balance to check and balance the power of the generals. ”

Li Yan is willing to come to be a scholar, his family has raised people, and he only changed his martial arts practice if he can't study, and he knows a lot about some things in the imperial court.

"Exactly!" Zhou Yuji also followed, "They are all sons of nobles, future princes, if the new army is established, it will be a natural general, and we can only be ordinary officers." If there is no check and balance, for a long time, this new army may become a prison for the nobles like the Beijing camp, and His Majesty will definitely not want to see this situation appear, so he specially reminded us. ”

Cao Bianjiao nodded, knowing that what these two said was very reasonable. At present, the army of the Ming Dynasty is lacking checks and balances, the soldiers are generals, and the generals use the salary and silver allocated by the state to desperately support their families, and maintain their status by relying on the family team, this army is not so much the country, but the private soldiers of the generals. The emperor must have seen this, so he set up a new army, and proposed the establishment of a soldiers' committee to balance the generals. But why didn't His Majesty directly propose that he have to go through his own martial artists? However, Cao Bianjiao still suppressed the doubts in his heart.

"But what kind of charter should this committee have?" Zhou Yuji frowned.

Huang Degong scratched his scalp and said with a smile: "What kind of regulations do you use, of course, how convenient it is for us." Let's make demands on them, and in the future, we are not allowed to beat and scold us, we are not allowed to eat, and we are not allowed to deduct money and food. ”

Cao Bianjiao said: "The requirements can be raised, but they must also be reasonable, after all, they are instructors, we are trained, the soldiers do not do well during the drill, and it is normal to be beaten and scolded by the officers, after all, if you don't fight, you can't get a weapon." ”

Cao Bianjiao grew up in the guard station since he was a child, and he is used to seeing all kinds of things in the army, and it is really difficult to avoid beating and scolding.

"It's okay to scold, but only when the soldiers don't do it well during training, they can scold us, and they can't insult us at will, after all, we are the martial artists appointed by His Majesty, not the slaves of their family!" Zhou Yuji said solemnly, "Something like Chen Junze who was deliberately beaten and seriously injured by an instructor must not happen, once it happens, the instructor who beats people should be severely punished!" ”

"Yes, that's it!" Others shouted.

"What about deducting money and food? After all, we don't have access to money and food, and we don't know if they are corrupt or not. Huang Degong asked.

"It's easy to get them to keep their books open on a regular basis." Li Yan said with a straight smile, "Your Majesty's annual allocation of silver is a fixed amount, and they make all the account books public, so it is clear at a glance whether they are right or not." ”

Huang Degong's eyes lit up, and he patted Li Yanzhi on the shoulder: "You kid still has a way!" ”

Li Yanzhi rubbed his shoulders and said with a smile: "I have a dyeing workshop at home, and I hire a shopkeeper and many guys, and my father doesn't often go to the store, just staring at the account books, so he is not afraid of the shopkeeper's tricks." ”

Everyone, you and I said a word, and slowly completed the requirements put forward. In the end, it was decided that three people from each sentry would form a soldiers' committee to negotiate with the instructors.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, after breakfast, all of us will gather on the playground to hold a sit-in demonstration, and use Chen Junze's beating as an excuse to ask for the establishment of a soldiers' committee and let them agree to our request!" Zhou Yuji proposed.

Others agreed.

"Be careful, don't slip out, just know. Also, if you still gather to run tomorrow morning, everyone must follow the orders of the instructors, and wait until after breakfast! Cao Bianjiao reminded.

"Yes, if the king does not secret, he will lose his ministers, and if the ministers do not secret, he will lose his body, and if he does not keep secrets, he will become harmful." Li Yan chewed the words directly.

Huang Degong shook his head: "What kind of mess, just let everyone stop saying no nonsense." Even if you know, it's not a big deal, after all, His Majesty asked us to set up a committee. ”

"It's better to keep your mouth shut." Zhou Yujidao.

And the people stopped talking about it, but secretly connected with each other.

......

Soon evening came, Xu Xiancun and those noble instructors rushed back to Xiyuan one after another, and no abnormalities were found.

There was no word all night, and in the early hours of the next morning, sure enough, the mournful whistle sounded again.

"Commander Xu, do you do this so early every day?" Zhang Shize stood beside Xu Xiancun, seeing that the martial artists had not yet arrived, and asked in a low voice.

Xu Xiancun said expressionlessly: "This will be the case every day in the future, but the distance can be adjusted appropriately, which is ordered by His Majesty, saying that this can improve their endurance." ”

Listening to the emperor's orders, Zhang Shize decisively closed his mouth.

The warriors came to the playground one after another, and this time, everyone gathered within the stipulated time.

Xu Xiancun gave the order, and the warriors began to run again.

"These people are very well-behaved today!" Looking at the backs of the martial artists, Zhang Shize muttered.

Xu Xiancun smiled coldly: "I don't care if they are obedient or not, you have to find a way to catch a few and punish them later!" ”

Zhang Shize and the others rubbed their hands: "Isn't this easy to do, it's up to us." ”

An hour later, the Wujin soldiers ran back to the camp out of breath, and to the surprise of the instructors, all the Wujin soldiers ran back on time, and no one was late.

Xu Xiancun has already left, and this place is dominated by Zhang Shize, Zhang Shize's eyes rolled, and he said loudly: "Except for the ten people who ran back at the end, everyone else can eat." ”

"Why!" The ten warriors were furious, "We all ran back in half an hour. ”

Zhang Shize snorted coldly: "What's the reason, just because I'm an instructor, you have to listen to me." Three hundred martial artists, just ten of you are slow, why do you still have a face? If you dare to make noise, each person will have ten military sticks! ”

The morale of the ten Wujin was on fire, but they were stopped by Cao Bianjiao and others. The group of warriors silently received the meal and began to eat. However, an inexplicably oppressive atmosphere began to permeate the cafeteria.
