Li Xiao leaned on the sofa and looked helplessly at the huge world map on the wall opposite.

It is estimated that in this era, only Li Xiao's office could display such an accurate world map.

Looking at this map, the power of the Ming Dynasty extends from the mainland to the ocean!

In the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, there are various nodes where the Ming forces are stationed.

The entire South China Sea became the Inland Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

No one is blind and wants to make territorial claims to the islands in the South China Sea.

Because this kind of request is usually regarded as a provocation to the authority of the Ming Dynasty.

Then……!

Then the provocative guy will be destroyed by the crazy Ming army.

The Marine Corps is just such a group of guys.

They are the sharpest fangs and claws of the Ming Empire, with half a million people stationed at various overseas interest points.

As long as something harms the interests of the Ming Empire happens, these brave warriors will take up their guns and go to war.

But who knew that these people were actually drunkards, perverts, and bad gamblers!

There is Nok Joo's report on his desk, which contains reports on violations of military discipline by Marines stationed in various places.

Shocking, truly shocking.

These people cover up prostitution, gambling and human trafficking, and even individual soldiers secretly organize groups to rob local wealthy households.

Some people even secretly grow and sell duck fillets!

Rotten to the bone!

I didn't expect the Marine Corps to be in such a bad state.

The Marines are overseas, and Ming Dynasty's laws cannot control them. Local officials also dare not use local laws to control them.

In this way, these people become indifferent.

The only thing that can control them is the military law of the Ming Dynasty.

But others don’t know it, but Li Xiao knows it too well.

Most people know that military law is ruthless, but only a few people know that the military is actually the most humane place.

Everyone fought hard on the battlefield, and some even saved each other's lives.

Many times, friendship can make officers ignore military regulations and turn a blind eye to the soldiers!

And more often than not, the officers themselves are participants in these things.

Asking them to enforce military discipline and control the Marines is simply to accuse the principal of the accomplices.

Li Xiao never dreamed that one day the military discipline of his army would be degraded like this.

"what to do?

There's no way!" Mr. Ao was smoking a cigar, puffing out smoke from his mouth.

"At least in the country, there is national law governing it. These murderous talents do not dare to openly oppose the Ming Dynasty's national law.

But the situation is different for troops stationed overseas. These people have been out of control for a long time.

Coupled with the scattered locations, sometimes a single company controlled a city-state with a population of hundreds of thousands.

Everyone has become an uncle and can do whatever they want. They don't treat the locals as human beings at all!

And you also have something to say, anyone who offends my Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are.

These guys even use chicken feathers as arrows.

Anyone who dares to resist them is equivalent to resisting the Ming Dynasty. If the locals accidentally kill the Ming Dynasty soldiers, more Ming Dynasty troops will be recruited to encircle and suppress the city-state.

After the navy destroyed countless countries overseas, no one dared to challenge the authority of the Ming Navy.

In your opinion, this is a good thing, but in the eyes of those soldiers, this is also a good thing.

Because they can bully the local people as they please and exploit the local people's money as they please.

Go and see the Marine Corps, those veterans who have retired.

Every wallet is bulging!"

Master Ao was teasing Li Xiao on the side!

Because the commander was Li Xiu, Li Xiao had a laissez-faire attitude toward the navy.

Anyway, all matters concerning the Navy are decided by the Navy itself.

In addition, troops were stationed overseas and the situation in various places was complicated. Li Xiao gave them huge discretionary power.

But he didn't expect that his second brother Li Xiu, who had always been valued by Li Xiao, would actually lead the good Marine Corps into this state.

"No, if this continues, it will damage the foundation of the navy and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

If this person is a bad person, then hurry up.

Besides, if the team is led like this, then there is no fighting ability." Li Xiao helplessly took out a puff of cigar.

With these two old smokers around, the whole room was filled with smoke.

"Commander!

I think military discipline must be improved and maintained.

But now that there are so many violators, we can only identify some of them and beat them up.

Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and let those crazy officers understand your tactics.

Let them know that our Ming Dynasty has strict military regulations and must not act recklessly."

It was strange that Stewie actually spoke for the Marines. Mr. Ao snorted and stopped talking.

Stewie glanced at Mr. Ao, he couldn't afford to mess with this bastard. He could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach!

"Besides, the Marine Corps is stationed overseas all year round, and the people in those places are not all gentlemen.

There are many people who fear power and are not moral, and often confuse local residents to oppose our Ming Dynasty.

I think such people should be killed.

Without them, this country will only be better. Not worse!

As for the overbearing behavior of the Marine Corps, I think there is nothing wrong with it. The Ming Army must have a very high deterrence ability in their hearts.

This is also the original intention of Ming Dynasty to send troops overseas!"

Shi Dewei's behavior made Li Xiao wonder if this guy had received someone's money.

Historians who read their heirlooms paid little attention to the crimes committed by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Why……!

Li Xiao sighed, this guy also became a staunch nationalist.

All day long he talks about the best and most powerful people in Ming Dynasty.

In fact, patriotism is human instinct!

It is easy for many people to come together for their ideals, and then sacrifice their lives and even blood to realize their ideals.

People who do not love their country in their hearts can only be said to be mentally ill.

The Ming Dynasty people are like this, the French are like this, the Prussians are like this, and the British are even like this.

Indians used to be like this too!

"Um!"

Li Xiao knew that the Marine Corps needed to be sorted out.

But we can’t fix things too hastily!

After all, many Marines are now stationed in places where the situation is quite complicated.

"Commander, you have the idea of ​​scraping the bones to cure the poison, but this scraping the bones to cure the poison is not about cutting off the arm."

"Okay, the General Staff Headquarters will take the lead on this matter. Send officials to investigate the crimes of those people.

Poor! Let go of anyone who has any doubts, and focus on cracking down on those selling duck slices. We must eliminate such people from the Liao army forever."

Li Xiao was a little angry. On several occasions, he even impulsively wanted to retain the punishments from the Hongwu period.

The peeled grass looks very disgusting.
Chapter completed!
