Chapter 1084
Li Xiao leaned back on the sofa and looked helplessly at the huge world map on the opposite wall.
It is estimated that in this era, only in Li Xiao's office can such an accurate world map be hung.
Looking at this map, the power of the Ming Dynasty is from the mainland. It stretches out along the ocean!
In the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, there are various nodes where the Ming forces are stationed.
The entire South China Sea has become the Ming Inland Sea.
There is no one who is blind to the desire to make territorial claims to islands in the South China Sea.
Because this kind of demand is usually seen as a provocation to the authority of the Ming Dynasty.
And then......!
Then that provocative guy will be destroyed by the crazy Ming army.
The Marines, such a bunch of guys.
They are the sharpest fangs and claws of the Ming Empire, and a full half a million people are stationed at various points of interest overseas.
As long as something endangers the interests of the Ming Empire, these warriors will pick up their guns and go on the march.
But who knows, these people are actually drunkards, perverts, and bad gamblers!
On his desk was a report of green beads, which believed that the report had violated military discipline by the marines stationed in various places.
Shocking, truly shocking.
These people enshrined prostitution, gambling and trafficking in human beings, and even some soldiers even secretly organized a group to rob the local wealthy households.
There are even people who secretly grow and sell duck slices!
It's rotten to the bone!
Unexpectedly, the Marines have rotted into this appearance.
The Marines are overseas, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty cannot govern them. The local officials did not dare to control them with the local law.
In this way, these people become two things.
The only thing that can control them is the military law of the Ming Dynasty.
But others don't know, Li Xiao knows too well.
Most people know that military law is ruthless, but only a few people know that the military is actually the most humane.
Everyone was on the battlefield, and some even saved each other's lives.
In many cases, camaraderie is the existence that can make officers ignore military regulations. Turn a blind eye to the soldiers!
And more often than not, the officers themselves are participants in these things.
To let them enforce military discipline and discipline those Marines is simply to sue the main culprit and the accomplice.
Li Xiao never dreamed that one day the army under his command would be corrupted into such a situation.
"What to do?
No way! Ao Ye smoked a cigar and puffed out a single smoke in his mouth.
"At home, there is a national law that governs it. These killers did not dare to openly oppose the law of the Ming Dynasty.
But the overseas garrison is different, these people have been out of control for a long time.
Coupled with the dispersion of the garrisons, sometimes a single company controlled a city-state with a population of more than 100,000.
They all became uncles, and they could do whatever they wanted. They don't treat the locals like people at all!
And you also have a saying, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away.
These guys will even use chicken feathers as arrows.
Whoever dares to resist them is equivalent to rebelling against the Ming Dynasty. If the locals accidentally killed the Ming soldiers, it would attract more Ming troops to encircle and suppress the city-state.
After the navy destroyed countless countries overseas, no one dared to challenge the authority of the Ming navy.
It seems good to you, but it is also a good thing to the soldiers.
Because they can bully the local people as they want, and they can exploit the local people for their money as they want.
You go and look at the Marines, the veterans who have come down.
All the purses are bulging! ”
Ao Ye is teasing Li Xiao on the side!
Because the commander is Li Xiu, Li Xiao has a laissez-faire attitude towards the navy.
Anyway, everything in the Navy is decided by the Navy itself.
In addition, the troops are stationed overseas, and the situation in various places is complicated, and Li Xiao has given them huge discretion.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiu, the second brother who has always been valued by Li Xiao, actually brought the good Marines into this appearance.
"No, if it goes on like this, it will damage the foundation of the navy and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
If this person learns badly, then he will be fast.
Besides, if the team is brought like this, then what kind of combat effectiveness can we talk about. Li Xiao reluctantly spat out a cigar.
With these two old smoking guns, the whole room was filled with smoke.
"Handsome!
I think that military discipline must be rectified and maintained.
But now there are many violators, and they can only find out some of them, and they will beat a dozen of them.
Make an example of the mad officers and let the crazy officers know what you can do.
also let them know that I have strict military rules and must not act recklessly. ”
It's strange that Stilwell actually spoke for the Marine Corps, Ao Ye "snorted" and didn't continue to speak.
Stilwell glanced at Ao Ye, this bastard can't afford to mess with him. I can only knock out my teeth and swallow it in my stomach!
"Besides, the Marines are stationed overseas all the year round, and the people in those places are not all humble gentlemen.
There are many people who are afraid of power but not virtuous, and often bewitch the local residents to oppose my Ming Dynasty.
In my opinion, such a person should be killed.
Without them, the country would only be better. And not that it will get worse!
As for the overbearing behavior of the Marines, the lower officer did not think there was anything wrong with it. It is necessary to let the Ming army have a very high deterrent ability in their hearts.
This is also the original intention of Daming to send troops overseas! ”
Stilwell's approach made Li Xiao wonder if this guy had accepted someone's money.
The historians who cultivated and read the heirlooms were almost indifferent to the crimes committed by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
Ay......!
Li Xiao sighed, this guy has also become a staunch nationalist.
All day long, the best and most powerful people of the Ming Dynasty are on the lips.
In fact, patriotism is human instinct!
It is easy for many people to come together for their ideals, and then give their lives and even blood to realize their ideals.
People who do not love their country in their hearts can only say that these people are not mentally sound.
This is true of the Ming people, this is the case of the French, this is the case of the Prussians, and even more so of the British.
Indians used to be like that!
"Hmm!"
Li Xiao knew that the mess of the Marine Corps had to be rectified.
But you can't be in a hurry!
After all, many Marines are now stationed in places where the situation is quite complicated.
"Dashuai, you have the intention of scraping bones to cure poison, but this scraping bones to cure poison is not cutting off your arm."
"Well, the General Staff takes the lead in this matter. Send officials to investigate the crimes of those people.
Wretched! If there are doubts, let one side go, focus on cracking down on those who sell duck slices, and we must remove such people from the Liao army forever. ”
Li Xiao was a little angry, and several times, he even impulsively wanted to keep the punishment of the Hongwu period.
Peeling the skin and grass, it looks very fleshy.
It's to cut off the skin of the living, and the guy in here is thinking carefully!
