"Shoot! Shoo!"
In the camp of the 9th Battalion, a penetrating copper whistle sounded.
"Hurry up, gather, gather!"
After hearing the loud and clear copper whistle, both officers and soldiers quickly grabbed their weapons and lined up, and the reaction was quick.
"what happened?"
Seeing soldiers gathered in a hurry everywhere in the camp, the tense atmosphere caused the entire family of Shen's family to get out of the tent, their faces full of doubts.
"Is there going to be another war?" The eldest son of the Shen family said with a worried face.
"Sir General has orders, gather at the school grounds!"
"Sir General has an order, gather at the school grounds!"
A messenger with a small flag on his back rode his horse and galloped past the camp, roaring loudly, conveying the military orders of General Chen Ziang.
Groups of soldiers assembled urgently, led by their respective officers, went straight to the temporary school grounds.
The temporary school field is nothing more than an open space in the battalion that has been shoveled out of the turf to facilitate the soldiers' training.
"Come on, let's go and have a look."
The rich businessman Shen Bin saw that everyone was heading towards the school grounds, and he also greeted his family members, wanting to see what was going on.
When Shen Bin and the others arrived at the school grounds, all the soldiers of the 9th Battalion had assembled in line except for the two centurions who were performing security tasks in the city.
Those old and weak women and children don't need to gather, but they all stand aside.
On more than a dozen horse-hitting posts next to the school grounds, several bare-chested soldiers were tied to the horse-hitting posts.
At the same time, dozens of soldiers were kneeling aside with their hands bound by ropes.
"What did they do?"
Seeing the soldiers who were tied up, Shen Bin couldn't help asking an old man who was watching the excitement next to him.
The old man couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "They committed murder in the city and were arrested by Lieutenant General Li."
"How will they be dealt with?" Shen Bin asked again.
The old man guessed: "Master General has promulgated the military regulations. This time they bumped into the knife, and they may have to peel off a layer of skin if they don't die."
Shen Bin had heard before that the rebel army was brutal and murderous, but now he didn't expect that Chen Ziang would actually promulgate military regulations, and those who violated military regulations would be punished.
Now Shen Bin is becoming more and more curious about this army, because in some respects, it is better than the dynasty army.
In just a moment, all the soldiers, old and weak women and children in the camp gathered in the empty school field.
Seeing these bound soldiers, they all pointed and guessed how Chen Ziang would deal with them.
?Since their Qinghe army rose up, they have been fighting and fighting, and there has been a mixed bag of good and evil inside, and there has been no time to rectify.
Although Chen Zi'ang's 9th Battalion has won successive battles under his leadership, there are also many internal conflicts, which are only covered up by the victory.
This time, Chen Ziang also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to thoroughly clean up the interior.
?Because a strong army must be united internally, not like sand, which looks strong but collapses at the touch of a button.
This time, it was not just a simple violation of military discipline by committing crimes against the wind, but also the problem that the soldiers only recognized their immediate commanders. A small general of a hundred people did not pay attention to the deputy battalion general.
If things go on like this, once the power of his subordinates expands, then he, Chen Ziang, will also lose control of this army.
Instead of being too big to get rid of when the time comes, it is better to take this opportunity now to eliminate this unhealthy trend of standing on top of a hill.
These soldiers who violated military discipline and confronted the military police were all subordinates of General Wang Hu.
Now seeing these brothers under his command being tied up, General Wang Hu, who had just experienced the bloody battle at the city gate, also secretly scolded them for not living up to expectations.
"My lord, these brothers have never been ambiguous on the battlefield. Can you give them a chance to atone for their meritorious deeds?"
General Wang Hu of a Thousand People was the immediate commander of these soldiers. Hearing that Li Lang, the deputy general of the battalion, wanted to make an example of others, he had no choice but to find Chen Zi'ang in private and intercede for him.
"Brother Wang, I can understand your feelings, but you also know that the state has state laws, and the army has military regulations. If they are spared this time, then our soldiers after the 9th Battalion will not be able to fight."?? brought it. "
Facing Wang Hu's pleading, although Chen Ziang couldn't bear it, he still refused.
"Then do they have to die this time?" Wang Hu couldn't help sighing.
Chen Ziang nodded, as a tacit consent.
"My lord, I didn't lead my soldiers well, I'm embarrassing for you." Wang Hu said ashamedly.
Chen Ziang patted Wang Hu on the shoulder and said: "Brother Wang, our team will grow bigger and bigger in the future, we must have discipline, otherwise, we will be no different from bandits and bandits, I hope you, and all of us Remember the lesson of blood this time."
"I will definitely clean up those bastards when I go back." Wang Hu also nodded seriously.
During their conversation, Li Lang, the deputy battalion general wearing a red armband, strode onto the starting podium.
Li Lang looked around at the soldiers, old and weak women and children assembled in line, and when his eyes met Chen Ziang, Chen Ziang nodded to him to show his support.
Li Lang took a deep breath, pressed his hands down, the noisy sound disappeared, and the school field suddenly became silent.
"Brothers, I gathered everyone here today, and I think everyone knows what happened." After Li Lang looked away, he opened his mouth slowly.
"Our brothers fought bloody battles with the dynasty army, and finally broke into the provincial capital. We won the battle! It was something worth celebrating!"
"However, our brethren are in a state of ecstasy, forgetting that our original intention of fighting against the Dynasty army is to overthrow their exploitation, gain freedom, have clothes to wear, and food to eat! Our brethren, relying on weapons in their hands, began to bully the people! What's more, draw a knife and kill!"
Li Lang, the deputy battalion general in charge of military law, had a quiet voice, but it was very penetrating, and his voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"Brothers, if we wantonly bully the people and rob them of their money like the imperial army, how are we different from the imperial army? How are we different from those bandits?!"
Li Lang's questioning was deafening, and it made these proud soldiers start to examine their actions for the first time, and many of them were ashamed.
"They killed people, took money, and contradicted the chief. I decided to show the heads of all the tyrants to the public, so as to make others look like others!"
Seeing the soldiers discussing a lot, Li Lang took a deep breath and made his own verdict, showing to everyone for the first time the iron-blooded ruthlessness of the military discipline chief.
After hearing Li Lang's words, there was an uproar. No one expected that Li Lang would be so ruthless that he wanted to kill all those who violated the military law.
"Master Deputy Battalion General, you can't kill them, they are also our brothers."
"That's right, let's forgive them for their first offence."
It was difficult for everyone to accept such a severe punishment, and many soldiers who were familiar with the violation of military discipline began to yell.
"My surname is Li, if you dare to kill me, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"
When the bound soldiers heard that they were going to be beheaded, they also clamored.
"Whoever refuses to accept, stand up!"
At this time, Chen Zi'ang, who had been watching coldly, strode out, and everyone fell silent.
"You plead for them and feel sorry for them. What about the people who were killed by them, who thought of them?!"
"Remember it for me. In my 9th Battalion, there is no lawbreaker. If anyone dares to commit another crime, I will recognize you. The knife in my hand will not recognize you!"
After being reprimanded by Chen Ziang, these clamoring soldiers finally knew that Chen Ziang was serious this time.
"Deputy General Li, execute the sentence!" Chen Ziang turned around and ordered Li Lang, the deputy general.
"No!"
Li Lang waved to the military police wearing red armbands in the distance, and they drew out their swords one after another.
"Don't cry, wipe away your tears, I'm a soldier, even if he dies, he will die with integrity!"
Chen Ziang walked up to these bound soldiers and saw that they were no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. Although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he also knew that kindness does not control soldiers.
"Master General, I don't blame you, I committed the crime myself, it doesn't matter if I die, please let my family go."
Knowing that there was no room for maneuver, the hundred-man general wiped away his tears and pleaded.
Chen Ziang nodded: "Don't worry, your family and relatives, the 9th Battalion will help you take care of them."
"Thank you, Sir General."
Soon, following the order of Li Lang, the deputy battalion general, the military police raised their knives and dropped dozens of soldiers. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com). (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
