Chapter 86 Punishment ()

With the first, there will soon be a second and a third. The sound of banging was endless, and soon, the bright long knife was thrown to the ground.

Just as the princess said, this is Jiang's world, and the little girl in front of her is the master of Nanyang County. They are all from the Nanyang Army, and they are wielding their swords at the princess. What else is it if they are not treason?

They were loyal to their General Zuo, but they did not dare to bear the name of rebellion and harm their family, let alone the Zuo clan.

A dozen soldiers silently retreated six feet. One of them retreated too quickly and accidentally stepped on the general who was hiding in the corner. The general gasped in pain, but he didn't even dare to fart.

Zuo Zhen, who was curled up on the ground and sweating in pain, burst into tears and couldn't care about it at all.

Song Yuan was filled with joy, and all the guards looked at his princess with admiration.

Only Chen Zhuo, whose expression relaxed, felt worried.

The princess was very happy now as she punished Zuo Zhen like this. It is inevitable that this matter will cause waves in the future.

"Princess," Chen Zhuo reminded in a low voice: "It depends on the owner to beat the dog. Today has already been like this, it is not appropriate to cause trouble again."

Jiang Shaohua is very good at accepting remonstrance: "Chen Changshi is right. This princess was indeed a little impulsive just now."

Just as Imperial Physician Sun came in in a hurry, Jiang Shaohua immediately said: "General Zuo just had a fight with this princess and suffered some minor injuries. I would like Imperial Physician Sun to examine and treat General Zuo's injuries."

Everyone: "..."

Fine! By saying this, the princess saved the last bit of dignity for General Zuo, who was kicked to the ground.

Doctor Sun responded, quickly stepped forward and knelt down, and carefully examined General Zuo's injuries.

His face was as red and swollen as a pig's head, and a tooth was missing from his mouth. It didn't matter, it was just a skin injury, and it could only last ten and a half months. However, the bruises on the waist and abdomen were quite scary. It would have taken a lot of force to inflict such serious injuries. It would not be nice if the internal organs were kicked out of position or injured...

Dr. Sun muttered in his heart, with a calm and solemn expression on his face, and stretched out his hand to press around the bruise.

General Zuo screamed like a slaughtered pig.

Shan Wu, the confidant on the side, didn't dare to breathe, and stared at Imperial Physician Sun eagerly: "Physician Sun, is General Zuo okay?"

Dr. Sun didn't say anything. After careful inspection, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and said: "General Zuo suffered only superficial injuries and no internal injuries. Now he lies down on the bed while I apply medicine to General Zuo's wounds. Then prescribe another medicine." It is a pain-relieving and tranquilizing medicine that can be taken for five or six days and rested on the bed for half a month, and it will be fine."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shan Wu wiped his eyes and called two soldiers, who carried his master to the bed like a dead dog. The other soldiers hesitated for a moment and then followed.

Dr. Sun followed closely behind, applying medicine to heal the injury.

There was silence in the Chinese army's tent.

Shan Wu did not dare to speak, and the generals promoted by Zuo Zhen also seemed to be collectively mute.

Yu Chong noticed the princess's gaze drifting towards him, and took a step forward: "I will be brave enough to ask the princess, what will happen next?"

Jiang Shaohua said calmly: "Since I have come to the Nanyang Army Camp, I will stay for a few days to inspect the camp."

In other words, the princess not only beat up Zuo Zhen, but also stayed in the military camp openly. Isn't the princess worried that the soldiers will mutiny or stir up trouble?

Yu Chong thought about it for a moment, his scalp was numb, and he cautiously added: "The military camp is full of military men, and the princess has a rich body. It is very inconvenient to settle in the military camp. Wan County County Government is only half a day's journey from the military camp, so why not The princess went to the county government to settle down..."

"General Yu is teaching me how to behave?" In just one sentence, Yu Chong broke into a cold sweat and quickly changed his words: "Princess, please calm down. I know what the princess means. I will immediately go and settle the people in the guard camp." .”

The princess even dared to beat Zuo Zhen, so he was nothing but a mere guerrilla general. If the princess becomes angry and takes action, he will have no choice but to be beaten. If he fights back, he will become a treasonous criminal!

Jiang Shaohua glanced at Yu Chong: "It's such a trivial matter, why do you need to take action? Shan Wu! You go!"

Shan Wu, who was suddenly called upon by the princess, reflexively accepted the order and retreated.

Jiang Shaohua then ordered: "General Yu, go and summon all the generals above the eighth rank in the general camp. I want to see them."

……

Half an hour later, the military tent was full of people.

There are six thousand soldiers on the Nanyang Army's military rolls, and a total of thirty-six generals above the eighth rank. Except for Zuo Zhen, there were two who went out on patrol and could not come back in time, and the remaining thirty-three generals were in sight.

There are distinct factions in the military camp. One faction was promoted by Zuo Zhen, and there were about a dozen people in this group. The other group is the original Nanyang Army faction. There are also more than a dozen, headed by Yu Chong.

Finally, there are seven or eight neutral generals.

These three groups of generals can be seen from their positions. Without even covering up, they were divided into three camps.

Jiang Shaohua sat on Zuo Zhen's usual ebony chair. Chen Zhuo and Song Yuan were on the left and right, one in civil and one in military. Chief Wen stood next to Chen Zhuo, wishing that his plump and round figure could be reduced by half.

On the way here, the generals had already heard that Zuo Zhen was beaten to the ground by the princess. Some people were dubious, some were awestruck, and some were secretly applauding.

Everyone's expressions were different, all falling in Jiang Shaohua's eyes.

Jiang Shaohua opened his mouth to break the silence without hesitation: "I am going to stay in the military camp for a while. I invite you all to come here today because I want to see you first."

"Starting from General Yu, let everyone say a few words!"

Yu Chong braced himself and spoke first: "I will be in the Nanyang Army for eighteen years, and my official position is a fifth-grade guerrilla general."

On the other side, a military general also opened his mouth: "The last general, Li Tie, has been in the Nanyang Army for twelve years, and his official position is also the fifth rank."

Next, all the generals introduced themselves one by one according to their rank. Even if one person speaks two sentences, it will take a stick of incense and an hour.

After Jiang Shaohua listened patiently, he first asked Yu Chong: "General Yu, I have heard that there is a debt and the deduction of soldiers' pay in the Nanyang military camp. Is this rumor true or false?"

The princess opened her mouth and hit the nail on the head.

The cold sweat on Yu Chong's forehead fell instantly. Before he could open his mouth, the princess's voice rang in his ears: "Don't be careless in front of this princess, I want to listen to the truth."

Yu Chong gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said: "Back to the princess, it's true that military pay has not been distributed in the military camp for a long time. The last time military pay was distributed was three months ago, and only half of it was paid. The soldiers were full of complaints, but they dared to get angry. Dare not say..."

"Yu Chong!" Li Tie, a military general who defected to Zuo Zhen's faction, interrupted Yu Chong with a sullen face: "This is all a matter in the military camp. Why bother telling the princess about it?"

Jiang Shaohua twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly: "I, the princess, want to listen carefully today! General Yu, continue!"
