Chapter 458: [Half a Year] (7,000 words)
This little friction with the Besta Army is just a small thing for Char.
And for the rewards and punishments of subordinates, there is quite a doorway.
Violating military rules should be punished, so Char did not exempt the fifty cavalrymen from their crimes. But how to punish is particular.
Under the premise of being punished, if you lose, you will be punished severely, and if you win, you can be punished lightly. This kind of treatment has won the hearts of the sergeants.
In Char's opinion, no matter what, if the tiger in the army does not have the bloodthirsty heart to kill, then it will be over, and what he wants is a division of tigers and wolves, not a group of sheep who dare not fight back after being bullied.
In the final analysis, if these fifty cavalrymen were bullied in front of Beth today, if they were still in military discipline, they didn't dare to fight back, and if they honestly retreated, they were afraid that Char would know about it, although they would not punish them, but afterwards I would have a chance to transfer these people out of the cavalry department and admit it, Char was not worried about the impact of the friction with the Besta people at all This is just a small episode. From the perspective of the big picture, there is now room for cooperation between himself and Besta, and he and the governor's wife are very clear, although they are fighting against the royal family.
But at this stage, it seems that the benefits of cooperation between the two sides are even greater.
As for this friction, it is not a good thing," said the news of Shaya's favor soon, and he knew that there was a brawl between his army and the Besta army.
I'm afraid that I will breathe a long sigh of relief behind my back.
The matter was gone, and the Viceroy's wife never spoke of it again, nor did she send anyone to negotiate, as if it had never happened.
Char lived in the barracks outside the city, and there were many fewer people who came to visit, and at the beginning, the nobles also sent people out of the city to the barracks to deliver invitations and the like, Char also ordered that all the soldiers guarding the camp should be driven, and only said that the military place was forbidden.
Over time, those magnates in the city understood that this Char general didn't seem to want to be too involved with the empire's wealthy and powerful families. Anyway, this kind of PR trick doesn't care about the moment, it's too eager.
On the contrary, it looks too ugly.
But it was the wife of the governor of the Besta district, who was said to have stayed in the city for many days, and caused quite a stir in the circles of the nobility. The governor's wife is beautiful and moving, and her skills are also extremely clever, and she is like a fish in water in the circle of magnates, and I heard that in just a few days, she has become a new figure in the circle of magnates in the imperial capital.
That governor's wife was originally from an extraordinary background, and her speech and demeanor were not comparable to Char's rough billets.
I heard that even Emperor Garcia had summoned him several times, and he was still in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion these days. It's clear that he is already a celebrity in the limelight.
In such an environment, the market of Besta is naturally rising.
There is a faint posture of a new pillar of the empire.
It is said that the wife of the governor also visited many important departments of the empire, whether it was the military department, the government department, and the finance office, and it is said that the general Gislente on the side of Lantis also spoke highly of the wife of the governor of the Byzantine Vesta Military District.
There was also a small episode during this period. One day, the Governor's wife's carriage encountered a convoy of Landis on the road, and the two sides huddled together on the road. But as soon as Gislent, who was in the Lantian convoy, heard that it was the wife of the governor of the Besta Military Region on the other side, he actually took the initiative to order the convoy to give way.
After this happened, it was immediately widely spread in the imperial capital, and some people immediately compared this incident with the incident of Char and the Landis fighting for the road that day, and in comparison, the Char general put on an arrogant posture, and almost used force to force the Landis to give way. And this wife of the governor of the Besta Military Region is a soldier who surrenders without a fight, so let the Landis take the initiative to give way, isn't this a superior judgment?
Suddenly, everyone looked up to the Besta Military Region.
From the point of view, at least the Besta Military Region is better than General Char Thundering in terms of the treatment of the royal family, the relationship between the nobility, and the attitude of the Landisians.
It was also in the north of the empire that it occupied a piece of land, with a large territory and tens of thousands of soldiers. But it is obvious that the bass has a lot more limelight than that Char thunder.
Finally, after waiting for a few days, news came from the imperial capital that the military headquarters had issued a document ordering the troops of the Besta Military Region and the Northern Theater to return to the jurisdiction to garrison a Xia Ya could finally lead the troops back to the north.
However, the day before departure, Char received a message from Adric's herald, asking Char to come into the city. Char didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly took a few people and rushed to the imperial capital.
When he arrived in the city, he did not go to the military headquarters, but was taken to Adric's residence by the herald.
Adric originally had his own home in the imperial capital, but it had been destroyed in the war.
After the recovery of Osgilia, in order to show their favor to Adric, the royal family pulled out a house near the imperial official for Adric. Adrick usually works in the military headquarters, but rarely goes back to his residence.
Char and the people hurried all the way to Adric's quarters, and as soon as they reached the door, they saw a man kneeling at the foot of the steps of the gate.
The man knelt in the middle of the road, wearing only a pair of pants. The figure is burly and tall, just from the back, it makes people marvel: what a majestic and mighty man!
And the man kneeling at the door, with thick gauze wrapped around his shoulders and arms, obviously still wounded a big head, but his hair was shaved, and his shiny head was covered with cold sweat.
Char dismounted and handed the rope to his men.As she strode to the door, she glanced back at the man kneeling on her.The man hung his head.He couldn't see his face clearly.Char walked past him.The man remained motionless.He didn't look up.
Char was curious, and he didn't know who this person was, but he knelt at the door of Adric's house.
Char suppressed the suspicion in his heart and walked up, and Adric's guards naturally recognized Ya, and they didn't need to announce it, so they directly invited Char in.
After the house was given to Adric, it had not had time to be built, it looked a little dilapidated, but the area was not small, Char walked through the courtyard of the corridor, and was led to the door of a study by the attendant who led the way.
"Coming?" Adric didn't look back, just said lightly, "Sit down." ”
He took a charcoal pen in his hand, drew a circle at a location on the map, and sighed.
Char noticed that the location where Adric drew the circle with charcoal was a rebel military force in the western part of the empire.
"General, summon me, do you have any military information?" said Char Zhengse.
"Well, there's something," Adric muttered, pointing to the map, "Look at this place." ”
Char nodded, looked at it twice, and said, "This military region is far away from the imperial capital, and the general wants to ........"
"Don't think about it. Adric smiled wryly: "Even if it is a counteroffensive, it is impossible for our army to fly there." It's just that the Landis have already occupied the port of Catania, and a fleet has arrived a few days ago, and an additional 20,000 troops have been dispatched. They have informed us that they will soon send troops from the port of Catania to help us counter-attack the rebels, and I have seen that this is the place where the Landis might be the first target of attack. ”
Char frowned when he heard this, and then he showed a somewhat solemn look.
Adric glanced at Char, "Well, you can see the doorway too?"
Char said lightly: "The counterattack on the rebels should be based on the first team, after all, this is our domestic civil war, and the Landis are allies and guest troops." It stands to reason that we should be the main attacker, and they should do it. Now they don't wait for us, they have to shoot first, and they can't help but be a little too anti-customer-oriented. With the current internal chaos of the rebels, it is not a problem to lay down this military district, the problem is ... After the ground is laid, who will take over this territory!"
"That's what I'm worried about.
These Landis are not greedy enough, I am afraid that they will take the ground, as if this rescue of Osgilia, the army will not go when they come in, and then the problem will be. After a pause, Adric frowned and said, "Even if they are willing to withdraw their troops in the end, but after they occupy this place, it will be enough for them to loot for a while." When the time comes, what will be returned to us is a mess that they have looted. ”
Char thought for a moment, but he really couldn't think of any way, and his face was a little gloomy.
Adric glanced at Xia and sighed: "Okay, our country is not as good as others, and now this loss is decided.
Well...... You don't have to worry about this, I called you today.
It's not for that either.
Char listened and felt a little relieved.
At the end of the day, he really doesn't want to care about these things..."It's an intractable problem. It is inevitable that the empire itself will not have enough troops to quell the rebellion, and it is inevitable that Randy will tear this ambitious foreign aid in.
His biggest fear was that if Adric opened his mouth, he would send troops to quell the rebellion...... His own foundation is now unstable, the territory he has laid down is not yet secure, and the army has just gone through a major battle and needs to be reorganized.
Besides, he sent out his army to crusade against the rebels, and once the military region started a war, he would fight with money and food! When the time comes, people will have to eat horses and chew them, and whoever will bear these expenses will definitely not pay for himself. When the time comes, you will fight the rebels to the death, and what you will lose is the territory that your own men and horses have won, and it will not be possible to return to yourself......
Since Adric made it clear that he didn't want to send troops, Char relieved himself and smiled: "So, I don't know if the general called me to ......."
"Well, wait a minute. Adric sighed and said in a loud voice, "Someone!
A soldier at the door immediately pushed the door in, and Adric said lightly, "Bring him in." "Yes 1,
The soldier went out, and after a while, he brought in a man.
Char saw that it was the majestic man who knelt on the road before he entered the door and saw outside the gate.
The man was brought in by two soldiers, and when he entered the house, he threw himself on his knees and said in a hoarse voice: "The sinner has seen the general!, when he spoke, he finally raised his head, and looked at Adric Char with a sad face.
"Yi?" Char couldn't help but blurt out: "It's you? You're not the guy in the show? Aha, you've shaved your head, you almost didn't recognize your name as Nigul, right?, this person is Nigur! General Span's nephew, the giant man in Zeng Jing's Wangcheng Four Shows!
Nigur also saw Char, and he naturally recognized the young imperial hero who was currently in the limelight in this empire, and when he saw that Char was in his prime, he was proud of his style and shocked the continent. Looking at Char, I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart. When I first saw this Char Thunder, the other party was just a small hunter in the wildfire field, but now the other party is already an official general, an important minister of the empire, a side Mengjie, and a figure in the world.
And I'm ...
Nigur took a deep breath and bowed his head to Char: "I've seen General Char Thundering...... Xiaguan ...... Well, the sinners, it's Nigur. ”
"Sinners?" Char was stunned and frowned, "What crime have you committed?"
Ni Gul's eyes turned red, and he said: "The criminals neglected their duties, left their posts, and let the rebels attack and break the city proudly, causing a catastrophe.......
When Char heard this, he was also at a loss in his heart, and Adric next to him finally sighed and said lightly: "Char, you should remember that he... He is the nephew of General Span.
Speaking of Nigul, these days, it is really like living in a dream for this young man!
At the beginning, he changed his mind, served in the army, and he was also very hardworking, the prodigal son turned back, he was determined to inherit the glory of the family, he mixed up in the army, he was brave enough to fight, and he also showed himself in the army. Finally, he was promoted to battalion officer, responsible for guarding a section of the city defense of Osgilia.
Originally, what was put in front of him should be a promising future, he had a family background and background, he showed the momentum of motivation and enough hard work, and if everything was normal, he would have become a young nobleman in the empire in less than two years.
But the destruction of the city of Osgilia has become his nightmare!
The most unfortunate thing is that the rebels are attacking him.The former companion Geli in the Wangcheng Sixiu colluded with the rebels.And used the Marsha Xingmei trick to transfer Nigul Geri on the night of the city to control the city defense, and the rebels broke the city defense!
In the final analysis, Nigur left the city defense that night and went to the city to return his lover privately, which is enough to be charged with "deserting his post without permission"! Moreover, he believed in the traitor of Gri, and finally caused the rebels to be ruined.
On the day of the breach, he was wounded, and when he retreated, he was taken back to the palace by the defenders.
Later, Osgilia was recovered, but his uncle Span died in the last moments, causing the tragedy of Nigur!
Originally, when the city was broken, he, as an officer in charge of the city's defense, made a big mistake and should be held accountable.
But Bi Jing was Span's own nephew, and everyone knew him as the heir to General Span's family. Spann is also the leader of the city defense army, the person who has been erected by the royal family to fight against Adric in the military, and if Spann is alive, Nigur's life may be better, and there may not be a chance to make a comeback in the future.
But the problem is, General Spann was killed in battle!
After Spann's death, Nigur was left without his uncle's wings. In officialdom, people often go to tea to cool themselves, not to mention that people die?
Fortunately, Spann had a great reputation among the city guards, and Spann himself had a great deal of merit in the war against Osgilia. In the end, Nigul was spared death, but he was deprived of all military duties, and was directly demoted to a commoner, and even ordered because of his sin, that he be stripped of the family's right to inherit the title, and that General Spann himself have a title of nobility, and that a male of the Spann family was chosen to inherit him.
Nigur became a lost dog.
And he didn't have an army, and he was cleared out of the army -- he was Span's own nephew, and Spann naturally had old subordinates in the army. If Nigur had taken ordinary responsibility, others might have taken care of him in the eyes of General Span but he had made a big mistake! Because of his negligence, the city of Osgilia had been broken, and he had broken through in his defensive zone! No one could cover up such a great crime, and no one could take care of him.
Moreover, after the rebels broke the city, they burned and plundered, and the city guards suffered heavy casualties, so many lives.
Such a big loss, among the city guards, the soldiers below, naturally thought about this Nigul to the bone, such a big crime, it is no longer a special point that General Spann can recover.
I don't know how many people have lost their families, brothers and comrades in the melee after the city was broken, and everyone looks at General Span's affection, and it is already a great affection not to go to Nigul for trouble.
So, Nigur's life has been miserable these days.
The guilt in my heart tormented this young man all the time.
After listening to Adric's brief explanation, Char nodded. Looking at Ni Gul kneeling in front of him, Ni Gul's body trembled, the muscles on his face were twisted, and his eyes were blood-red and full of tears.
Char sighed and looked at Adric: "What does the general mean by coming to me, I already understand...... Alas......
"Although this kid has committed a great crime, he has also been deceived when it comes to the destruction of the city. And he performed very well in the army before.It's a good talent, but it's a pity......" Adric said slowly: "He has nothing left at the moment.He was cleared out by the family.The city guards here in the imperial capital can't stay any longer.。。
.
Nigul said loudly, "My lord, I don't ask for anything else. I don't care about the family's titles, my former positions...... I know that even if I die 10,000 times, I will not be able to redeem my great sin! But I don't want to die like this! I still have a deep hatred in my heart! I only want the general to accept me to serve in the army! Even if I am a pawn!
Being a small soldier allows me to go into battle to crusade against the rebels.I will die on the battlefield in the future, these days, I am tormented by the guilt and hatred in my heart day and night, I don't want to die like a dog!
As long as I can kill the rebels, I will be a ...... of the death squad."
As he spoke, this big man slammed his head on the ground and slammed his head on the floor, and when he raised his head, his forehead was already full of blood, blood and tears mixed together, and his voice was hoarse.
"General Spann is my colleague, and if he hadn't worked together with me, Osgilli wouldn't have been able to hold it. General Spann died for his country, and I can't afford to see his only nephew fall away. However, although I am the Minister of War, I cannot show favoritism at will, and I am ...... now If you forcibly get him into the army, I'm afraid it will ......"
Before Adric could finish speaking, Char nodded, "Okay, my lord, I see what you mean." ”
Char stood up, walked up to Nigul, looked into Nigul's eyes, and his gaze was like lightning: "Since you want to die on the battlefield, then I will take you." You can join our Northern Army, starting as a pawn in front of the horse! You listen. I will not treat you favorably just because you were introduced by General Adric, or because you are the nephew of General Span! On the contrary, you must gain a foothold in our Northern Army. You must be prepared to endure hardships! You must first enter the army as a pawn and be trained, and all military rules must be observed, and you will be treated more severely! If you violate any military regulations, you will be punished three times more severely than others! And within half a year, you will not be paid, and you will not be on vacation! Half a year later, if you are still alive and not dead, I will allow you to go into battle to kill the enemy!"
Nigur's body was shaken, and he raised his head to look at Char, and his eyes suddenly shot with excitement.
Xia Ya said coldly: "Lao Tzu can't see a big man shedding tears the most! You remember, the men of my northern army, shed blood without tears! You have already taken one of my military regulations! You get out of the house now, report to my guard chief, and get ten whips first! If I see you crying again in the future, get out of the barracks!"
"Yes!"
Nigur immediately puffed up his chest, wiped the tears and blood from his face, made a solemn salute, got up and strode out.
Adric looked at Char and took a deep breath, with a meaningful smile on his face: "Hmph, yes, you kid, you look like a soldier."
Char smiled faintly: "I learned it all from you, General." When you were your own soldier.
The rule of shedding blood without tears is yours. ”
Adric nodded, and suddenly added, "You punished him three times more than a man.
I can understand that, but why did I make an appointment with him for half a year?"
Char sighed and said with a wry smile: "As soon as I look at this kid's eyes, I know that he has been tortured to death, and his eyes are full of death. Since the general handed him over to me, I can't let him die like this. He agreed with him for half a year in order to stimulate his will to live, and he wanted to be able to go into battle and fight in half a year, and he would not die within half a year. Half a year, the grief in my heart will slowly dissipate. Half a year later, after his mentality calmed down, he went into battle to kill the enemy and made a contribution. Live up to your trust."
Adric listened, nodded again and again, looked at Chara for a long time, and sighed again: "You kid, you have really grown up." ”
After a pause, Adric looked at Char, his eyes became a little complicated, he hesitated for a moment, but finally as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Your order to pull out has come down." Within three days, I ordered you to take the people of your headquarters to the north and return to the jurisdiction. Well...... With you, there are also people in the bass. This time, the above means that you will leave at the same time, and there is also the meaning of letting you supervise each other. You leave together, which is also the meaning of the above. ”
Xia Ya laughed: "Thank you general, I have long been impatient in the imperial capital." 、
.....
Char walked out of Adric's mansion, and as soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw that on the side of the road outside the door, Nigur was kneeling on the ground, holding his hands high above his head, bare his back, while his captain of the guard was holding a whip and whipping Nigur's back.
When Char walked out, the chief of the guard was putting down the leather whip in his hand, and said coldly: "After the ten whips, you can get up, if you violate the military rules again in the future, you will not be slackened in heavy punishment!,
As he spoke, the chief of the guard nodded to Char: "My lord, on your orders, the ten lashes are over."
、
Char glanced at Nigul coldly: "Give him a horse, let him go out of the city with the team." 、
So saying, he stopped looking at Nigul, turned over and got on his horse, and took the lead in striking the horse.
He took a horse from Char's guard, endured the pain, turned over on his horse, gritted his teeth and followed the group.
Char galloped all the way, crossed two intersections, quietly glanced back, saw Nigur following at the end of the line, and did not fall behind, and nodded secretly in his heart.
It's not Char's heart.Deliberately torturing this Nigur.It's really that he actually understands Nigur's mood at the moment, and if others treat him well at this moment, I'm afraid that the guilt in Nigur's heart will be even more.
He can't extricate himself, and being harsh on him will make him feel better.
