Chapter 211: Self-Punishment

In fact, in the hearts of the people, Chu Yujia is still a good person.

Not to mention how well he did the county guard and how much welfare he did for the people, just because he was the son of Chu Qianwen and the current commander of the Northwest Army, it was enough for the people to respect him, not to mention that he had just won the battle with the Northwest Army, how could they hate this upstart of the Ye Kingdom?

However, the events during this period of time have really tossed some low-level traders a lot, and many people have greeted Chu Yujia's ancestor in private.

"Some people know me, some people may not know me. ”

Chu Yujia stood on the execution platform and said, "My name is Chu Yujia, the county guard of Shuiyun County......

The chaotic scene slowly quieted down with his voice.

Chu Yujia raised his hand and pointed at Zhu Weichen and his party behind him, and said: "These people oppressed the people during my tenure and regarded our military regulations and national laws as child's play. ”

When the words fell, Chu Yujia waved his hand violently and said, "Execution." ”

After hearing Chu Yujia's execution order, the law enforcement pro-army stepped forward in unison, raised the long stick in his hand neatly, and landed on the backs of those people in the next moment.

This kind of long stick hit the person's body, and almost as soon as the stick fell, it was a blood mark.

The muffled sound of ping-pong and the screams were almost connected.

These soldiers are all Chu Yujia's guards, they are all elites in the army, and they are even veterans in the army.

They know too well the military regulations of the Northwest Army, and they understand why the Northwest Army cannot oppress the people.

Because the Northwest Army was in the most difficult time, the people of Shuiyun County smashed pots and sold iron to change knives for the Northwest Army.

When Chu Qianwen and Wu were fighting in the civil war, the Northwest Army had no food and grass, and the common people sent food for the winter to the Northwest Army as military rations.

Bullying the common people is absolutely zero tolerance in the Northwest Army.

This time, Chu Yujia was really extrajudicial.

"Good, well played. ”

"Kill them, kill them. ”

When the people saw that the oppressors were being dealt with by military law at this time, they applauded one by one.

It's just that the next moment, a scene that makes everyone wait for happens.

Chu Yujia took off his coat by himself, only wore his middle coat, and said to the people in the audience: "These are my soldiers, if they make mistakes, I will naturally be punished, and today I will punish myself with twenty military sticks in front of everyone." ”

Hearing this, the people below all looked at Chu Yujia blankly.

Since ancient times, when have officials punished themselves in front of the people?

Since ancient times, who has punished himself for the mistakes of his soldiers?

The people were also skeptical of his words, and they didn't believe that he would really be beaten, thinking that at most he was just putting on a show.

After all, even his father, Chu Qianwen, had never done this.

But then, things are indeed a little beyond the imagination of the people.

A personal soldier walked behind Chu Yujia, and the next moment he picked up the long stick in his hand and hit Chu Yujia heavily on the back.

"Bang ......"

The sound was real, and the sound was even louder than the sound of other sticks falling on those people.

The pain coming from behind made Chu Yujia clench his fists.

Then came the second stick.

After this stick, two clearly visible blood marks appeared on the placket of his back.

But Chu Yujia just stood there quietly, letting the long stick hit his back one after another.

Although he was a martial artist with rough skin and thick flesh, a layer of fine sweat also appeared on his forehead at this time.

Twenty sticks down, even he was a little unsteady.

There was silence on the field, and the eyes of the people were on this young marquis.

The people liked him because he was the son of that man.

The people revered him because he drove out the barbarians of the desert.

But the people also complained about him, because his centurions had bullied him and made it impossible for him to live in peace.

But the people always think that patience will pass, after all, take a step back and open the sky.

What's more, no matter what era it is, the people do not fight with the officials, and the poor do not fight with the rich.

Chu Yujia smiled bitterly and said: "No matter what, they are all soldiers of our army, even if they are local troops, they are also soldiers of our army, and everyone knows that we Ye people are like this, when we go to the battlefield, even if we face enemies who are several times our size, we will never be afraid." ”

"This time, just because I was a first-time offender, and when my brother was a first-time offender, everyone forgave them once. ”

"But this is only this time, if there is a next time, it will not be forgiven, no matter how high the rank of this person is, and no matter how big the relationship background behind this person is, it is the same. ”

Chu Yujia looked at the people with sincerity on his face, and asked softly, "Is it okay?"

"My lord, this has nothing to do with you, they are the ones who make mistakes, and we don't blame you. ”

"Yes, we don't blame you. ”

Chu Yujia's voice fell, and the voices of the people fluctuated.

Chu Yujia walked to the edge of the execution table and sat down, laughing at himself: "No, I'm really a little old, I can't stand up after taking so many sticks, I have to sit for a while." ”

Seeing this, the people in the front row also laughed, and some people said: "How old is the general, how can he be old." ”

"Haha. ”

Chu Yujia also smiled and said: "Maybe in everyone's seriousness, Yujia is a martial artist who can only lead the army to fight, a slaughterer who kills like hemp, and a bastard who treats the French law as nothing." ”

"But you have to remember that I'm also a fatherless child. ”

He pointed to his chest: "My father didn't teach me how to manage a side of the people, but I really hope that the place where my father once ruled will get better and better under my rule." ”

"I don't have any other ideas, I just hope that the people under my rule will have clothes to wear, white bread to eat, no cold, no hunger, and no need to sell their sons and daughters for a bite to eat. ”

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent......

Chu Yujia leaned on the ground with one hand, raised his hand and pointed at a young man and asked with a smile, "What is your dream?"

The young man pointed to himself in disbelief, and when he saw Chu Yujia nodding, he said a little nervously: "I like to paint, but because my family is too poor to afford paper to paint, I can only paint on the sandy land every day, I hope that one day, I can use endless drawing paper and brushes." ”

Paper already exists in this world, but because of the high cost, only the rich families and the children of the family can afford it.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, then you will one day fulfill your dream. ”

Chu Yujia nodded and said, "Since I said your dream, then let me ask you, do you know what my dream is?"

"What?"

The young man asked casually.

"Since I was a child, I have lived in the capital and have never seen much of the world, and I want to see the place where my father fought for one day. ”

"But then something happened in the family, my father was condemned as a traitor, and the whole family only survived with my wife and a little daughter who had just learned to speak. ”

Chu Yujia said with a look of fascination: "Although the rivers and lakes were very bitter in those three years, those three years were also the time when my daughter and I spent the most time together, so my dream is that the world is peaceful, and then I will accompany my wife and coax my daughter." ”

At this moment, a man had the courage to speak: "My lord, I heard that you killed a lot of people in Qianshu?"

"Of course. ”

Chu Yujia didn't care and said: "I don't have any statistics on my side, just kill it, but there is some news on the Qianshu side, saying that under my control, a total of 600,000 people in Qianshu were killed." ”
