"My lord, I am guilty, I am guilty, I don't dare to ...... next time" More than a dozen forbidden army officers knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Chao Gai and begged for mercy, and someone caught a glimpse of his gloomy face, and threw his small eyes to the soldiers and horses to ask for help.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, civilian officials were corrupt for profit, and military generals also took precautions, and it was a common phenomenon in the army to pay in arrears and withhold military salaries. But if you really want to investigate it, the consequences will be serious, the impact will be bad, and you will lose your head.

Zhao Wanli understood, and also saw the eyes for help, and stepped forward to say good words: "My lord, they are also inferior and difficult to change, and the troops are about to be dispatched, and the killing will ......."

"Oh, Zhao Dujian, you are not strict in governing the army, but it is quick to plead, no matter how much you say, you will be guilty of the same crime." Chao Gai's eyes widened, and he loudly reprimanded Zhao Wanli.

Many forbidden army soldiers turned their eyes on him, some were full of numbness, some were sarcastic and watching, some were hopeful, and more were full of expectation. I want to see how Shandong Chao Tianwang handles this matter.

Withholding military salaries, they know that this is the case everywhere, and they have encountered it more than once or twice, each time there is a trouble, but the final result is still the same. The money was deducted, and none of them wanted to come back, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

Chao Gaizheng lacked the opportunity to establish his prestige, and stared at the kneeling officer to announce the verdict: "Hmph, the state has national laws, family rules, and the army is disciplined. A few days ago, I said that I would not deduct any military salary, Jeju is uncontrollable, and I can't control it. Or will I protect you, like your former superiors? ”

The officers who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy heard that Chao Gai's words were getting colder and colder, and they trembled with fright, kowtowed like garlic, and some of their hair was scattered, and begged for mercy loudly: "My lord, I will be convicted, I will not dare next time, all the money is in the barracks." Return the full amount, beg the adults to be merciful, and let me wait for the guilty to make meritorious contributions. ”

It's okay not to say it, but as soon as he said it, Chao Gai was furious, pointed at them and scolded: "Phew, that money originally belonged to the soldiers, is it a credit to return it?" We are all soldiers, our heads are pinned to the waistbands of our trousers, why are we buckled? Guilty of meritorious service? I have elite soldiers and strong generals in my hands, and my military orders you dare to provoke, come and go! Dragged out and chopped. ”

More than a dozen officers were stunned for a moment, then reacted, shouting in horror or shouting like crazy: "Your Excellency, Lord Metropolitan Prison, you beg for mercy!" ”

"Ahh Chao Gai, we are Tong Da's old subordinates, you dare to kill me? ”

"Chao Gai, you are a wolf with ambition, exclude dissidents, and you will not die well in the future."

……

Chao Gai looked at this group of officers who were still roaring when they were dying, and sneered: "Immediately send troops to attack Liangshan, but because you deducted military salaries, you almost mutinied!" I have to rectify, the division is not good, and the morale of our army will be frustrated before the fight starts, this is a great crime that shakes the morale of the army, plus embezzlement of military salaries, who dares to speak for you? Where is the axeman? Drag it down and behead it for public display. ”

"Yes, drag it down!"

Sairengui Guo Sheng, Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang led the soldiers to roar, pounced like wolves, kicked these forbidden army officers to the ground, twisted their hands and dragged them away. No matter how much they struggle and scold, the result cannot be changed.

A look of shock appeared on the faces of the more than 1,000 soldiers of the three battalions, who originally thought that Chao Gai would deal with it, and the most serious thing would be demotion or dismissal. Unexpectedly, this Shandong Heavenly King Chao Gai is ruthless enough to cut people when he comes up?

More than 1,000 pairs of eyes stared blankly at the officer who was dragged away, looking like a madman and a desperate little look, and everyone felt relieved in their hearts. Looking at Chao Gai again, his gaze changed, more fear, and more respect.

Although there were many people on the school field, it was quiet, and with the roaring and scolding outside the barracks, more than a dozen bloody heads were brought back by the soldiers to restore their lives.

"The law is not merciful, take it down first and show it to the public." Chao Gai waved his hand with a cold face: "In addition, inform the whole army, this is to deduct military salaries and be corrupt." ”

All the soldiers should raise their heads, and Lu Fang personally led people to go around.

Many soldiers rubbed their eyes to identify and determined that more than a dozen officers were really dead. There was a lot of noise or cheering in the crowd, and I don't know who took the lead in shouting that the chief manager was mighty, and then more and more people followed the shouts and cheers.

Zhao Wanli, the warden of the soldiers and horses, watched this scene helplessly and never spoke. Because he knows that it is useless to say it, but it will cause endless trouble for himself. also understood that Chao Gai took the opportunity to vigorously rectify the three battalions of the forbidden army.

He understands it, and if it were him, he would do it!

At this time, Han Shizhong returned with dozens of soldiers carrying boxes, and when he saw Chao Gai's eyes, he led people to search those officers' tents, and brought the embezzled military salaries and savings with them.

As soon as I opened the box, it was full of yellow copper coins and a lot of gold and silver.

Chao Gai jumped into a carriage with an arrow step, waved his hand condescendingly and shouted: "Brothers, Chao Mou said that he would not deduct a penny, and Jeju will not lose a penny." The military salary was insufficient, and Chao paid out of his own pocket to make up for it. In addition, today is the Duanyang Festival, I will send someone to send wine and meat, zongzi to celebrate the festival, and walk around at night, remember not to make trouble. ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll understand!" The soldiers were overjoyed and cheered. Even many people were moved when they heard Chao Gai's words. They had been in the army for so long, and they had never met such a friendly commander. It is even more unheard of to pay military salaries out of pocket and send wine and meat!

Seeing that Chao Gai was about to jump out of the carriage, many soldiers stepped forward and asked, "My lord, our battalion commander and capital are vacant, what should I do?" ”

"Well, that's a problem!" Chao Gai touched his chin, thought for a moment and decided: "A few days ago, the top ranking officer in the competition was an officer. In short, in our army, the capable go up and the mediocre go down, and they don't rely on relationships and don't go through the back door. As long as you have the ability, as long as you make military achievements, you will be rewarded, and you can become an officer. ”

"Yes, willing, we are willing to ......" At first, only some of the soldiers responded with messy roars, but as the number of shouters grew, it became more and more neat, until finally they united and roared in unison.

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to General Han, and Zhao Dujian will be in charge, and the military salary will be issued first, and everyone will not make any more trouble!" Chao Gai waved at the soldiers to jump out of the carriage, and after explaining to Han Shizhong and Zhao Wanli, he took people away.

In the barracks, the people who kicked over the boxes before were pulled out and counted, and the copper coins all over the ground were picked up and put away, and no one dared to hide them privately in the process, and no one cried with a sad face. More than 1,000 forbidden troops were jubilantly paid for their leaders.

The original mutiny was quietly dissolved.

Han Shizhong sighed that his cousin's methods were amazing, not only him, but also Li Huai, Han Yong and other generals were also shocked. King Chao Tianwang saw the opportunity and made a ruthless move, considering the interlocking, and quickly rectifying the foreign forbidden army by thunderous means.

Because most of the top 20 people in the competition a few days ago were from the guard battalion, so the two battalions were in control. There was only one pure veteran battalion left, which could not be supported on its own, and it was only a matter of time before it was infiltrated or divided.

There were a lot of people gathered outside the forbidden army barracks, except for the people passing by who were Chao family soldiers. Looking at the more than a dozen bloody heads hanging on the gate, and figuring out that it was caused by the deduction of military salaries, the news spread quickly.

It also caused a sensation in the Chao family army!

The sentence "If the ability is not good, it can be cultivated, but if the character is not good, it will be over" was mentioned again. Water, horses, foot, and garrison armies spontaneously disciplined and rectified.

Especially the restaurant system! The last Erlongshan incident was caused by the corruption of the shopkeeper and the guys. Desperate San Lang Shi Xiu, Dry Land Hulu Zhu Gui, Shi General Shi Yong, Jin Leopard Yang Lin, Lightning Gun He Ji and other generals couldn't sit still, and gathered their teams one after another, and began to run around after the festival.

It can be seen that the purpose of informing the whole army is this!

If there is one, it will be changed, if there is none, it will be encouraged, and if it is not corrected after repeated teaching, it will be cut off directly!

Speaking of Chao Gai, he led the guards to leave the barracks and enter Chaojiazhuang. When I returned to the house, I didn't see a few ladies in the courtyard, and when I inquired and came to the courtyard of the jade arm craftsman Jin Dajian, Li Qingwan, Li Shishi and other women gathered together to laugh.

Song Yulian and Zhang Linger are also there!

"Yo, this chain is beautiful!" Chao Gai took Guo Sheng and stepped forward to take a look. It turned out that the woman was around a table of pearl necklaces and bracelets to choose.

Li Qingwan, Master Li saw Chao Gai coming, and surrounded him with an uproar. Either shake your wrist to reveal the bracelet, or hold the necklace and ask to wear it. Chao Gai was dangled his arm and wore it for his wife with a wry smile on his face.

Pearl necklaces, bracelets are not much different from the pearl necklaces of later generations! Each pearl is carefully selected, full and round, not to mention, crystal clear. There is the largest pendant in the middle, and the others are the same size. The high-quality pearls are arranged compactly, shine brightly, and are very beautiful.

The necklace or bracelet is strung with a string of excellent pearl thread, connected by a clasp at both ends. There are more or less of them that are suggested by Chao Gai. Especially when it comes to drilling, Kim Dae-jian was inspired by a lot. This is the only way to lead the team to make many pearl necklaces in a short period of time.

And these necklaces are very beautiful and beautiful, and several women wear them better. Chao Gai looked up and down and praised again and again, and then made a look.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, there is nothing to give for the Duanyang Festival, you hold this necklace." Li Qingzhao picked a good one, walked to Jin Dajian's wife, a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old woman, and stuffed a necklace.

The woman was dressed plainly, her figure was slightly out of shape, and her face was beautiful, but the years had left marks on her face, and she was a little surprised to see the necklace, and then shook her head again. didn't wait for her to refuse, Li Qingwan also ran over and stuffed a bracelet: "Sister sent a necklace, then I have to send a bracelet!" ”

Master Li, Hu Sanniang, Huazi, and Yelu Tali were a little entangled when they saw this. Chao Gai squinted at them: "You are stupid, you can't give it to others!" ”

After Kim Dajian's wife refused to no avail, she had to accept it.

"You mother-in-law, you love to be cheap!" Outside the hospital, there was a sound of cheering. Everyone turned their heads to see that it was the Jade Arm Craftsman who had returned with a few apprentices.

The woman was obviously a little afraid of Jin Dajian, and a look of fear appeared on her face, although she was a little reluctant, she still made a promise to return the necklace: "Madam, you take back ......"

"Hey, sister-in-law just take it!" Chao Gai frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Today is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and the festival is a gift from my sister-in-law. ”

"That's it, sister-in-law put it away, don't worry about the rest." After Li Qingzhao and Li Qingwan looked at each other for a while, they reacted and pushed the necklace back. At the same time, the two women's gazes on Chao Gai became extremely gentle.
