Chapter 247: The Iron Law of the Firearms Battalion

Open in the afternoon.

The army is divided into two sides, and the soup is very strong.

A squad of cavalry rushed to Lizhou.

Fang Jue took all the infantry battalions, 900 firearms battalion sergeants, and 3,000 cavalry to Linzhou.

When taking Shuangzhou along the way, no one was left, and the Ganzhou battalion had already arrived, leaving 3,000 people in Hanzhou.

Combined with non-combat attrition, there are now nearly 10,000 foot soldiers.

Although the cavalry was divided into 8,000, Fang Jue still had the majority of the main force in his hands.

"We don't seem to be of much use......"

The foot soldiers are all sighing.

During the First Battle on the North Bank, they hid on the banks of the river, behind the firearms battalion.

They can't reach the battle merits, and only when they clean up the battlefield will it be their turn to take action.

Although there is also credit for this, compared to the cavalry, they seem to be running alongside.

"General, there are some people below who have a lot of complaints." Cheng Jie came to report, he was in charge of military discipline, so naturally there were people everywhere to report the news.

After learning these news, Cheng Jie was not careless, and solemnly told Fang Jue.

"If this matter is not handled properly, these soldiers will be restless and feel unfair." As for what Cheng Jie meant, Fang Jue naturally understood that this matter seemed to be a bit of a mistreatment of these infantrymen.

The chariots brought and the military formations for the drill did not come in handy.

During the big war, he was more like an outsider, and he didn't feel a sense of participation at all.

In the future, when the meritorious deeds are rewarded, these foot soldiers will definitely not get any credit, and now they are just complaining, and if they continue like this, they are afraid that they will make trouble.

"Tell them not to be afraid, the foot soldiers are the backing of the firearms battalion, they will naturally have merit, and the credit of the firearms battalion will be distributed to them." Fang Jue said.

Cheng Jie was surprised: "Huh? Can the firearms battalion agree? ”

Fang Jue chuckled: "If the firearms battalion is close, it is these foot soldiers who go up to fight to the death, should the firearms battalion be meritorious and should not be given to them?" ”

"That's right, it's just ......" Cheng Jie felt that those people in the firearms battalion would be a little unhappy.

"One more thing......"

Cheng Jie felt that it was better to report it.

Fang Jue didn't ask, and he knew what might be the matter: "Someone in the firearms camp committed an accident?" ”

"How do you know?" Cheng Jie exclaimed.

"When you are a fledgling, you win a battle, and it is a big victory dominated by them, so you will naturally be fluttering and unable to recognize yourself."

Fang Jue had already discovered that during the repair, there were soldiers from the firearms battalion, who were arrogant in front of the soldiers of the other battalions.

He didn't care, because he didn't break the law, he had to wait until someone made trouble, and then he would kill the chickens and monkeys at once and deter everyone.

Now it seems that the typical has come.

"It seems that the general had expected it...... Here's how it goes......"

Cheng Jie reported the matter clearly.

The Judge Advocate General's Office found that there was a fight in the camp, so it sent someone to arrest the person involved.

One of them was from the firearms battalion, and the other was from the infantry battalion that had not participated in the whole battle.

When the battlefield was being cleaned, the firearms battalion began to show off their exploits, saying that they would have to rely on their firearms battalion from now on. What else to say, the cavalry is still a little useful, and the foot soldiers are just miscellaneous servants who wash the ground and collect corpses.

Such a deliberate provocation naturally succeeded in causing both cavalry and foot soldiers to be dissatisfied with the firearms battalion.

However, the firearms battalion had just made a meritorious service, and they all felt that the higher authorities would defend them, so the cavalry and infantry endured it.

But the people of this firearms battalion continued to provoke repeatedly, and the yin and yang were weird, so one of the foot soldiers couldn't bear to fight with them.

The people in the firearms battalion are all forbidden soldiers, and they have been in the city for a long time, and they have specialized in musket training in the past few months, so they naturally can't beat the soldiers.

The man was so angry that he used the musket in his hand, but fortunately the ammunition was muted, otherwise the foot soldier would have died.

Seeing that the matter was about to make a big fuss, the people from the Judge Advocate General's Office arrived, scolded the people on both sides, and then left with the two people who were fighting.

Cheng Jie has the right to deal with this matter, but he considers that the firearms battalion is involved after all.

And the firearms battalion had just made meritorious contributions, and he was Fang Jue's most confidant, Cheng Jie didn't dare to dispose of it without authorization, so he reported to Fang Jue.

"Let's wait until we've set up camp in the evening."

At this time, the army was marching, and Fang Jue didn't want to stop for this matter.

Rin Zhou was not far away, but Fang Jue was not in a hurry to pass, and the foot soldiers were slow to move.

If it is a cavalry, of course, it can arrive on a half-day run, but now that there is a problem, it is inappropriate to put the foot soldiers aside.

And there are only 2,000 defenders left in Rinzhou, because of the White Dragon Snow Mountain, it is isolated from the north, and it is difficult to ask for help quickly.

It's not too late to arrive tomorrow.

When night fell, Fang Jue set up camp on the official road, and then ordered someone to bring the two fighting soldiers to the Chinese army.

All the generals and officers of the army were called.

Fang Jue wanted to deal with this incident in front of everyone in order to sound the alarm for everyone.

"General, the name of this firearms battalion is Wei San, and the foot soldier is called Zhang Zide of the Liangzhou battalion." Cheng Jie personally brought people here.

"Meet the General." The two bowed.

Fang Jue nodded and asked:

"Why did the two of you have a grudge that you disregard military law and fight privately?"

"General Hui, it's this Zhang Zide, he did it first!" Wei San spoke first.

Zhang Zide hurriedly argued: "It was Wei San who provoked first, he spoke too ugly, saying that our foot soldiers are all waste, and that we can't catch up with the hot when we eat shit, and we can only wash the ground and bury the corpse for the rest of our lives......"

Don't talk about Zhang Zide, hearing this, the generals present frowned and took a deep look at the people in the firearms battalion.

Wei Feng coughed lightly, his face couldn't hold back, and he asked sharply: "Wei San, is that so?" ”

Wei San shrunk his neck and didn't answer.

"It seems so." Fang Jue saw that Wei San didn't fight back, so he knew that Zhang Zide didn't add oil and vinegar.

"Just a little credit, the ass will rise to the sky, aren't you Wei San also from the forbidden army, and you can't look at the pawn in just a few days?" Wei Feng didn't wait for Fang Jue to speak, so he scolded first.

Fang Jue looked at Wei Feng with interest, since he wanted to come forward, then take a look.

"General, I'm ......" Seeing that Wei Feng didn't defend himself, but scolded, Wei San's face froze, and then he looked aggrieved.

Wei Feng turned to everyone and looked at the infantry generals: "It's me who didn't discipline my subordinates well, discredited the firearms battalion, and I can't help you foot soldiers." I, Wei Feng, will say no here, please don't mind, I promise that nothing like this will happen again! ”

He spoke clearly, eloquently, and convincingly.

As soon as these words came out, the generals with unhappy faces also relaxed a little.

Fang Jue chuckled, and appreciated this Wei Feng a little more.

Wei Feng's words were not so much for others as for himself.

He is still maintaining the soldiers of this firearms battalion, but the means are very good, and he does not offend others.

is worthy of being a person who works in the forbidden army in the capital, and his feelings are in place.

However, today, Fang Jue would not give him this opportunity.

Because military law is ruthless, and Fang Jue also needs to set an example, lest anyone dare to follow suit in the future.

"General Wei, where is this, we naturally won't bother with a soldier." Dong Gui, the deputy general of the Liangzhou battalion, said immediately.

"It's just, the brothers below are just making trouble, and they are really angry?" Fan Ji of the Lizhou camp also nodded.

He knew that he was much more arrogant than this, and if he was angry, it would be too double-standard.

Seeing that everyone was also generous, Wei Feng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Fang Jue.

"General, this Wei San violated military law, it is my firearms battalion that is not good for discipline, I hope the general can forgive him, and he will be strictly disciplined in the future......"

Fang Jue stopped his words: "Military law is military law, if it is easily rewritten because someone intercedes, how can it be convincing the public?" ”

"General......" When Wei Feng heard this, he suddenly felt bad.

"Wei San."

Fang Jue pointed at him.

Wei San looked up, looking panicked and dazed.

"I ask you, what are the iron rules of the firearms battalion?"

When the Musket Bureau was founded, Fang Jue had restraints on the government soldiers, and the firearms battalion also inherited those rules and turned them into military law.

This was already ordered at the time of the expedition.

"I ......"

Wei San scratched his head, he didn't remember, the discipline was better.

But the first of them, he remembered clearly, and he suddenly trembled a little when he thought of that military law.

"You don't remember, then Wei Feng, tell me, what is the first article of military discipline in the firearms battalion?" Fang Jue asked in a cold voice.

Wei Feng pursed his lips, sighed in his heart, and said helplessly:

"Article 1 of the military discipline of the firearms battalion, under no circumstances shall the non-commissioned officers or generals of the firearms battalion point their guns at friendly troops and the people of Daxia......"

"There is this ......" The non-commissioned officers of the firearms battalion are all on the side, and it is true.

This can be described as the iron law of the firearms battalion, and I memorized it when I was a soldier in the Musket Bureau.
