Chapter Twenty-Eight: Rectifying Military Discipline
Zhu Qiyu stared coldly at Liu Zhiyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and the soldiers who were gathered in a circle.
At this time, Yu Qian, who had just realized that the situation was not good, led the pro-army guards to surround the camp tent.
Seeing the situation in the camp, Yu Qian hurriedly squeezed away the crowd of kneeling and came to Zhu Qiyu.
Yu Qian hugged his fists and said: "The last general has led his own army to guard, please give an order to His Highness." ”
With Yu Qian's unique vision and his understanding of Zhu Qiyu, things have come to this point, and Zhu Qiyu, as the commander of the army, will inevitably make some rectification.
But even Yu Qian, who was thoughtful, didn't expect that the military order issued by Zhu Qiyu at the next moment would make him feel a chill in his back.
swept past Liu Erniu, who was paralyzed on the ground, and Liu Zhiyuan, who was kneeling on the ground trembling.
Zhu Qiyu said without a trace of emotion: "Soldier Liu Erniu, whipping the new soldier, ignoring the king's law, cholera military discipline, provoking the commander before the battle, according to the military law, the beheading, the head hangs in the gate." ”
Then his gaze moved and fell on Liu Zhiyuan, "Liu Zhiyuan, the general banner of the military camp, bent the law for personal gain, aided and abused, and in accordance with the military law, he launched the beheading, and hung his head with Liu Erniu." ”
Zhu Qiyu's voice was not high, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
As soon as these words came out, all the people present were shocked in their hearts, trembling, and did not dare to gasp.
In two short sentences, not only the life of a soldier, but also the life of a general banner.
You must know that in the army, you can be an official to the general banner, as long as you are not deliberately treacherous, you will not be beheaded.
But Zhu Qiyu in front of him doesn't care so much at all, whether it is a soldier or a general banner, as long as he violates military law, he will be beheaded.
After the timid Liu Erniu heard the military order to dispose of himself, he screamed in fright, and his eyes rolled and he fainted.
Some people looked at Liu Erniu and said secretly: "This Liu Erniu fainted before he died, but it was his great luck, at least it didn't hurt so much." ”
And Liu Zhiyuan, who was still awake on the side, although he was not frightened and fainted, his whole body trembled.
In the face of death, no one can be truly unafraid.
As soon as the military order, the sword and axe hand in the pro-army guard stepped forward and dragged Liu Erniu and Liu Zhiyuan out of the camp.
Looking at the backs of the two of them being pulled out, a chill instantly enveloped everyone kneeling on the ground.
Their eyes all fell on Zhu Qiyu, who was not angry and self-assured.
Now it's their turn!
"Today, there are onlookers Liu Erniu whipping the new soldiers, and those who don't stop them will be punished with thirty military sticks."
As the old saying goes, Yunfa does not blame the public, most people thought that Zhu Qiyu would be extrajudicial and gracious, but who expected that Zhu Qiyu's trip would be to strictly enforce law and military discipline.
As soon as the military order was given, everyone kneeling on the ground trembled.
Thirty military sticks don't seem like much, but if you really hit your body, you will have to lose half your life if you don't die.
Not only that, but Zhu Qiyu's next military order made everyone even more frightened.
"Today, there are people who drink alcohol and cholera in the military village, according to the military law, those who should be beheaded are beheaded, and their heads are hung on the door, regardless of the beheading, the rod will be punished with twenty military sticks, and those who bend the law for personal gain will be punished for the same crime!" Zhu Qiyu said loudly.
"No!" A group of pro-army guards clenched their fists to receive their orders.
After issuing the military order, Zhu Qiyu looked up at the sky, only to see the dark clouds in the night sky disperse, revealing starry dots.
It's time to dissipate this miasma!
That night, the sound of military sticks hitting flesh and the screams of soldiers came and went.
Listening to these two intertwined sounds, almost no one fell asleep that night.
In the early morning of the next day, after the chief secretary of the army made a detailed count, he quickly sent the situation to the commander's account and explained Zhu Qiyu.
"Last night and one night, a total of 23 people were beheaded, including two general banners, five small banners, 16 non-commissioned soldiers, and more than 200 people who received military sticks." In the handsome account, after the main book was presented, he said cautiously word by word.
Now, including this master bookkeeper, the whole army is in awe and awe of Zhu Qiyu.
Before setting out on the expedition, I heard that Zhu Qiyu was just a pampered prince, and many people scoffed at him and dismissed him.
After the encounter with the five thousand cavalry of Warat and the rectification of military discipline this time, no one dared to despise His Royal Highness the Servant King, who commanded the army for the first time.
Not afraid of the enemy, fighting hard is brave.
Rectifying military discipline and treating everyone equally is a matter of courage.
The main book is in front of Zhu Qiyu, only respectful.
It is clearly written, and it not only states how many people have been punished by military law, but also the name of the person punished and the military law that has been violated.
After reading the folds presented by the main book, Zhu Qiyu closed it with one hand, "This king knows, step down." ”
"No." The master book stepped back.
After he left, Zhu Qiyu handed the fold to Yu Qian.
As the supervisor of this march, Yu Qian naturally has the right to read this book.
However, Zhu Qiyu didn't show him because Yu Qian was in charge of the army, but let him see what the army really looked like.
"There were hundreds of people who were punished yesterday, and the three battalions are nominally the elite of my Ming Dynasty, and I never thought that military discipline would be so lax." After watching the recital, Yu Qian couldn't help but look pale.
An army with sloppy military discipline will not only greatly increase the difficulty of commanding generals, but will also be directly dispersed in front of the battle.
Yu Qian was worried, but at the same time happy.
I am glad to have met Zhu Qiyu, a person who has the courage and courage to rectify military discipline.
There are very few such people.
Listening to Yu Qian's complaints, Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said: "Actually, this is a good thing, at least I know the reality of the soldiers of the army, so I won't be at a loss after the war." ”
Then he shook his head and said, "But the military discipline has been sloppy to this point, and it will take a lot of effort to straighten it out." ”
In fact, Zhu Qiyu didn't finish speaking, even if it took a lot of effort, it was necessary to rectify military discipline.
Zhu Qiyu, who personally encountered the Warat cavalry, knew that when the real battle was fought, the enemy would not care if you were the master of the three major battalions, they all carried a head on two shoulders, and it was over with a chop.
And Zhu Qiyu's rectification of military discipline is not only for the Northern Expedition, but also for him to establish prestige in the army.
The army is the most important weapon of the country, and whoever controls the army will have the right to speak.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Qiyu to say this to anyone, not even Yu Qian!
Listening to Zhu Qiyu's words, Yu Qian also nodded and agreed.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they suddenly heard a person shouting outside the tent: "Your Highness, there is a military report to report." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu said loudly: "Quickly enter the account." ”
A scout quickly walked into the barracks, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, there is a Warat man outside the military village who is single-handedly calling for battle. ”
"The Warats?" Calling for a formation is a very common thing, Zhu Qiyu was not too shocked, he waved his hand and said, "Don't care, just let him call." ”
"......"
When the soldier said this, he seemed to be a little eager to say something.
Zhu Qiyu was keenly aware of the scout's move, and said, "If there is any news, everything is said, this king will not blame you." ”
With Zhu Qiyu's reassurance, the scout plucked up his courage and said: "The Nawarat is a woman, she called Her Highness by name in front of the military village, shouting ......"
The scout was stunned by these two sentences, and Zhu Qiyu was really uncomfortable to hear.
"There's something to say at the same time."
The woman of Navarat raised her sword and scolded Her Highness in front of the military fortress, shouting that if she did not return her brother quickly, she would lead her army to attack, and when she was defeated, she would ...... Make His Highness a man and let others ravage him. The scout said tremblingly.
