Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 48 Military Law
"Your Highness!"

In the dark night under the firelight, Shen Wenzhong, the pedestrian, Xing Xing, the battalion supervisor, and a group of soldiers from the battalion came over, and several soldiers were tied up in five flowers.

"I was ordered to inspect the battlefield and monitor military discipline. These people disregarded the military order of the supervisory state, plundered property after entering the city, even raped people, and killed the people. They are utter scum, and have been captured. Your Highness, please send them down."

It's not yet dawn.

The battle in Minghechang Town is basically over, leaving only zero-clearance raids and searches.

Zhu Yihai was sitting in the salt field, still very excited. He was fully armed tonight, but he was guarded by his own soldiers, so he didn't get a real chance of fighting at all, but the last shot killed him.

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

The soldiers who committed the crime were very arrogant just now. They tried to fight with Shen Wenzhong, who was law enforcement, but they were overturned a few times and then taken down.

Looting after the war was originally considered a common practice in the military. If you lost the battle, you would plunder the villagers along the way, let alone if you won the battle.This time the troops were sent out in the middle of the night, and they finally fought a beautiful battle. How could they not grab some points when they entered this salt field town?

Although there were repeated orders to prohibit looting before the war, no one took it seriously. It has always been like this.

It's time to grab it, there's no one who won't take the money when they see it, and it's definitely fun to see beautiful girls if they have a chance.

If he encounters resistance, he can't just cut off his head with a single knife, and still pretend to be a military leader.

After all the above said, it is generally open eyes and closed eyes.

But who knew that this encounter would be more serious.

The night is cool, but there are a lot of mosquitoes.

Zhu Yihai was hungry and was eating meat. The horse mules killed by the rebels directly slaughtered the stewed meat. If the weather was not dealt with as soon as possible, it would be spoiled and rotten.

"Shen Qing, list the crimes of these people one by one."

"Yes, Your Highness." Shen Wenzhong was dressed in a blue robe, with a breastplate buttoned on his chest, a sword in his hand, and an iron helmet on his head, which also looked dignified.

"Zhao Dahe, the commander of the back post of the Shenji Camp, formerly a battalion soldier in the same city of Dinghai, Zhejiang, originally from Dengzhou, 46 years old. After entering the city, he and Tong Shi's men broke into the house of a merchant in the town, killing the merchant's family and nine slaves. No one was spared, young and old, and raped the three of them, looted property, hid spoils privately, the minister was ordered to monitor, and he even led his men to resist arrest by force!"

·····
"Kill nine people, rape three, rob about 300 taels of gold and silver and other things, and refuse to arrest and wound two people." Zhu Yihai listened to Shen Wenzhong's report with a very ugly expression on his face.

He put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"Today, the town of Minghe suffered from rebellion, causing heavy casualties. Countless people suffered from swords and flames, and their families were destroyed. We are the teachers of the righteous king. We came here to save the people from fire and water, but you are actually not as good as animals?"

"Your Highness, I made a mistake, please forgive me, I don't dare to do it again." Zhao Dahe begged for mercy in a panic, and several of his subordinates also knelt and kowtowed.

Zhu Yihai gritted his teeth.

"Take off their military robes, they are not worthy to be the only soldiers in the imperial camp, hang them up, and wait for the public trial in front of the whole army after dawn!"

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

Zhu Yihai walked in front of Zhao Dahe, "You are also a veteran. You couldn't be alone in the past, but since you entered the lonely army camp, you have to obey the lonely army's order. I gave you rewards and salaries earlier, did you starve you? I treated you badly." ?"

Zhao Dahe bowed his head in shame.

"You are soldiers. You are soldiers who guard your home and protect the country and the people, not bandits who oppress the people. Where do you get your rewards, your military pay? They are provided by the people. They are your parents."

Zhu Yihai slapped Zhao Dahe's face angrily, knocking out several of his teeth.

Still puzzled, he kicked him over again.

"hang up."

"Forgive you?"

"Who did God forgive?"

"Gu has said something first, don't say that he didn't predict it, if you listen to the wind, then don't blame Gu for being cold and heartless."

"Shen Wenzhong, go and order the whole army to order the officers at all levels of the Banner Bearer and Shenji Battalions to personally take their own family members to inspect various places and control their subordinates. If anyone is found to violate military orders, kill civilians, rape people , looting the people, and seizing them privately, they were all captured on the spot, and whoever had an accident under his command would be investigated with his superiors."

"Ordinary battalion soldiers commit crimes, and even the commanders are guilty of the same crime. If the commanders commit crimes, the commander of the team is guilty of the same crime. The commander of the team commits the same crime, and the commander of the sentry is the same guilty. If the commander of the sentry commits a crime, the battalion officer is also guilty of the same crime!"

"I don't care if he's from the Banner Bearer Battalion or the Shenji Battalion, or whether he's from Daming or Frangji, let alone whether he used to be from Zhejiang Town, Shipu Battalion, or a newly recruited soldier from Haimen or Ningbo. , all are treated equally.”

The emperor was furious like a thunder.

After Zhu Yihai spoke, the audience fell silent.

Everyone felt the anger of Jian Guo, which was the wrath of the real dragon.

The few soldiers were stripped naked and hung on the flagpole. First, each of them was whipped twenty times.

The blood attracted many mosquito bites, making them even more painful.

Under the wrath of the supervisor, the soldiers came out everywhere, and the military discipline in Minghechang Town was improving rapidly.

The soldiers who were still at the top were frightened to be honest when they heard that His Highness was furious.Although Qian Bo touches people's hearts and is attractive, but in the end life is more important.

Some criminals still want to commit crimes against the wind, or stealthily rob, but they can't escape the law enforcement team. Once discovered, they will be knocked down and brought back, and then enjoy the treatment of twenty leather whips and hanging flagpoles.

By dawn, the town had returned to tranquility.

The whole city is full of sorrow.

Ye Danggui stayed up all night, and guarded the gate with his servants, and the wall was tense all night. Fortunately, except for the gate being knocked on a few times in the first half of the night, there were soldiers on the siege who tried to jump in. After being scared away by them with guns, there was nothing in the second half of the night To be bothered again.

The long night of uneasiness finally passed.

Dawn comes.

A group of men gathered together with guns in their hands.

There was a knock on the door, and the two clever servants of the family came back, and they went out to check the situation at dawn.

Ye Danggui heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the two were unharmed, and quickly asked, "What's going on outside?"

The two families were a little excited, "It's safe outside."

"Last night, Lu Jianguo from Ningbo personally led his troops. They defeated Chen Wu's rebellious soldiers. I heard that Lu Jianguo also personally shot and killed the leader of the rebellion, Chen Jun. Almost all the rebel soldiers were surrounded and captured."

"Later, some soldiers from Jianguo took the opportunity to rob, and they were all arrested. Just in front of the original salt field warehouse, a row of wooden stakes was erected, and more than 100 people were hanged. foreign devil."

Ye Danggui couldn't believe it.

"Guanguo Lu is here?"

They all found it strange that this chaotic army was like a bandit, and everyone was mentally prepared, but the soldiers of Lu Jianguo were able to do nothing wrong with Minqiu?
They thought that the group of soldiers chased away after repelling the intruders yesterday.

"That's right, those soldiers are all outside. After the battle, they confiscated some official warehouses and yards, and borrowed some civilian houses. Then there are many soldiers who sleep directly under the eaves of the street, and directly on the street. put up the tent."

"It is said that Lu Jianguo issued a death order, and anyone who dares to disturb the people and harm others will be executed without mercy."

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then there was a knock on the door.

Everyone was silent and very nervous.

"People inside, please listen. I am Yang Boxing, Chief of the Royal Battalion, the Banner Bearer of His Royal Highness Lu Jianguo. According to the orders of His Highness Lu Jianguo, I am hereby notifying the residents of the town that the rebellious army has been defeated by the Wang Shi. His Highness will be in Yancang. A public trial meeting will be held before, and all residents of the town will be allowed to go to watch the trial."

Ye Danggui and the others still dare not say a word.

"Hi folks, please open the door and sign the notice."

Ye Danggui and others still dare not move.

"Is it possible that the rioters were hiding inside and controlled the residents? Hurry up and check." There was another voice from outside. "Archers and musketeers are ready. If there are bandits who resist in a corner, they will be shot and killed!"

"Break the door!"

Ye Danggui turned pale from fright, and hurriedly shouted, "Master Jun, please wait a moment, there are no rebels or bandits in Xiaomin's house."

"Please open the door and let us check, in case there are rebels kidnapping residents."

Ye Danggui had no choice but to ask someone to open the door.

The door opens.

Both groups held weapons and looked at each other warily.

Yang Boxing stepped forward, "I am Yang Boxing, Chief of the Banner Bearer Battalion of His Royal Highness Lu Jianguo."

"Ye Danggui, the head of the Ye family in Minghechang Town, Xiaomin." Ye Danggui hurried forward, and then waved to the brothers and nephews behind him, "Hurry up and get some tea for the bosses."

A small box of silver was placed in front of Yang Boxing and others, about 200 taels of silver, full of fineness and shining silver.

Yang Boxing only glanced at it, then turned his head and summoned someone, "How?"

The person who was recruited was from Yuanchang Town. He temporarily acted as a guide, nodded and said, "The opposite is indeed Ye Gong, the patriarch of the Ye family, and his family members. They have no faces."

"So it's Master Ye, hello." Yang Boxing looked a little better, but he still didn't relax his vigilance, "I'm on official business, and I'm ordered to notify the residents of the town, and at the same time search for the remnants of the rebels. I hope Ye Gong will cooperate."

Although Ye Danggui explained that they had been guarding the house last night and no thieves came in, Yang Boxing ignored him coldly and laughed a few times. Seeing that the oil and salt would not enter, he asked someone to fetch a few hundred taels of silver, and directly paid 1000 taels of silver. Putting it there, Yang Boxing was not moved.

In the end, they had to step aside and let them go in and search.

Fortunately, these people didn't take the opportunity to rob, and they didn't even disturb the female relatives. They just searched inside and outside in a very regular manner, and then came out, accompanied by them the whole time.

"Now, Mr. Ye, please sign and sign this notice. You must go to the Yancang to observe the trial later. Also, if you find rioting soldiers, please report them in time. There are soldiers from the imperial camp patrolling the street in front of your house. If there are us If the soldiers of the imperial camp dare to violate discipline and invade the people, you can report it immediately, and His Highness will make decisions for you."

Ye Danggui was a little surprised by the formality of this formula, and even a little uneasy.

I always feel that these people are not satisfied.

"Mr. Yang, I don't know where the small ones are not enough. Please make it clear. If you need to exchange silver for gold, please give me some time to prepare."

But Yang Boxing shook his head and said, "Gong Ye, we are His Royal Highness Jian Guo's imperial army, the king's righteous teachers, and those who violated discipline and disturbed the people last night have been hung up to await public trial."

Ye Danggui was dubious, "How much does the little one need to contribute to His Highness Jian Guo?"

Yang Boxing glared at him, "Let's sign and make a deposit."

Ye Danggui had no choice but to sign the notice, and then those people turned around and left.

A group of people from the Ye family stood at the door, looking at each other.

"How to do?"

"Riding a donkey to read the libretto, let's wait and see, courtesy to others, there must be a plan, 200 taels of silver is not worth it, I guess we will have a big hemorrhage this time." Ye Danggui is still sure that the supervisor is definitely the one. The graph is bigger.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but my teeth hurt even more.

Tigers go in at the front door, wolves go in at the back door.
