Chapter 1001: Army Stick
According to the military rules of the Ming Dynasty, once the drums and gathered generals, it means that the commander will start issuing combat orders. The atmosphere in the hall immediately becomes solemn and solemn. Even the people who love to joke the most dare not relax at all at this moment.
Yang Feng glanced at everyone with a sharp gaze and then slowly said: "I must have known that I will assemble a large army on the order of Your Majesty and prepare to go to Luoyang to annihilate the bandits who harmed the people. You guys, it is time to make achievements today. I wonder if you are willing to complete this feat with me?"
All the generals stood up and said in unison: "The last general and the last one wish to follow the Duke to the death!"
"good!"
Yang Feng waved his hand, and after the generals sat down again, he said, "Since you are willing to follow me to fight on the battlefield, then I will start to dig the Mao now."
After saying that, Yang Feng took out a booklet from his pocket, opened it and began to recite: "Georgia General Gou Xingma on the East Road of Jinling!"
Gou Xingma immediately stood up and saluted Yang Feng and shouted: "The last general is here!"
"Gerrilla General Yan Di on the West Road of Jinling!"
"The last one will be here!"
"The guerrilla general Guanghai on the south road!"
"The last one will be here!"
"Northern Guerrilla General He Sheng!"
"Don't be here!"
"Xu Li, deputy commander of the Sixth Battalion... Cui Yang, deputy commander of the Seventh Battalion..."
Until the end, a person's name spit out from Yang Feng's mouth.
"Jiangning Guard Commander Li Zheng!"
"The last one is here!" Li Zheng, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly stood up and responded loudly.
Yang Feng looked at the generals who were neatly lined up in two rows and nodded: "Well... good... everyone is here, now you all sit down."
After everyone sat down, Yang Feng continued: "This expedition originally required all our troops to go out, but due to the lack of military pay and food in the court, his Majesty agreed to reduce the number of people going out, so the number of people going out this expedition was tentatively set at 20,000.
Among them, there are three infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion, plus the baggage battalion, and a total of 23,000 people. Now I read out the expedition team and generals."
"The people and horses of this expedition were: Gou Xingma's sixth battalion, Yan Di's seventh battalion, Guanghai's eighth battalion, Cao Yingyu's cavalry battalion, Zhou Shi's baggage battalion, all these battalions and their officers and soldiers went out to the expedition, and the rest of them were left behind and did not participate in this expedition."
When many generals heard this, they looked different, some were unwilling, some were distressed, and some were relieved.
Yang Feng ignored these people and continued: "As the saying goes, as the saying goes, the army will go first before the food and grass is moved. The army will go to the expedition of food and grass. The lifeline of the soldiers of the entire army is the lifeline of the soldiers. A few days ago, the Japanese Duke ordered the Jiangning Guard to prepare the food and supplies needed for the army to go to the expedition within three days. I wonder if the Jiangning Guard is ready?"
Hearing this, almost all the generals looked at Li Zheng sitting on his right head.
Li Zheng, who became the target of public criticism, felt a sank in his heart. He gritted his teeth and stood up, bowed to Yang Feng, "Duang Gong, please rest assured. The general must have prepared all the food, fodder and supplies before the army goes to war. If the task cannot be completed, the general is willing to be dealt with by military law!"
At first, there was nothing wrong with this sentence, but Yang Feng, who had already known it, was not fooled by Li Zheng's words, but continued to ask: "What about now, has the food and fodder been raised? If it was not completed, how many have been raised now?"
"this……"
Cold sweat immediately emerged on Li Zheng's forehead. He was already lucky and thought that Yang Feng had just arrived and was definitely not very clear about Jiangningwei's situation. According to the regulations, he should go to the military camp to inspect. As long as the food and grass purchased this evening arrived, he could fool the matter.
But unexpectedly, Yang Feng had just been promoted to the tent, and he didn't go to count the weapons or read the sergeants. Instead, he was the first to ask him about the food and grass situation. This really cost him his life.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful. The old saying goes, "Don't do anything at all." Why can't he suppress his greed and insist on taking away all the grain in the granary? Even if a batch of emergency food was left behind, today's dilemma would not have happened.
"Why, Lord Li, as the commander of Jiangning Guard, doesn't even know how much supplies and food he raised?" Yang Feng's gloomy voice came from the lobby.
"Bada..."
Resisting the thunder in his heart, Li Zheng gritted his teeth and stood up and bowed, "It's a good idea for the Duke of the People to learn that due to heavy rainstorms yesterday, the transportation of grain and supplies was relatively slow. However, the last person has already arranged to speed up the transportation. At the latest, before dark today, the last person will definitely raise the grain and supplies."
Yang Feng's face suddenly became cold: "Oh...so, have you not collected the food, fodder and supplies in the past three days?"
“Yes…yes.”
"Li Zheng... I asked you, have you received the handwritten instructions written by me?"
"received."
"How many days do you need to complete the food and grass raising work in the handwriting!"
"Three...three days."
"Then have you done it?"
"No."
"Okay...you know the relationship has not been completed."
Yang Feng sneered, "Li Zheng, you are also an old man in the army. You should know what consequences should be caused by failure to complete the military order overdue?"
Li Zheng gritted his teeth and knelt down and said tremblingly: "The last general has failed to complete the military order, and is willing to receive the punishment!"
Yang Feng asked, "Where is Sima in the army?"
"I'm in a humble position!" A young Sima stood up.
Yang Feng asked: "The army is about to go on a war. What should the military officer fail to collect the required food and grass as scheduled?"
Sima Lengran said: "According to the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty, if the military officer fails to raise the food and grass needed for the army to go to war as scheduled and causes huge losses, he shall be executed according to the law!"
When he heard this, even the eyelids of the generals next to him jumped, and Li Zheng was so scared that his legs became weak.
But then the Sima said: "But given that Commander Li did not cause major losses to the army, he only needed to kill twenty military sticks."
"good!"
Yang Feng said coldly: "Come here!"
"Arrival!" Immediately, two servants walked in from outside the door.
"Drag Li Zheng down and beat the military sticks twenty!"
"Abide by the order!"
Two servants stepped forward, grabbed Li Zheng's arm and dragged him down. Soon a sarcastic sound came in from outside with screams.
Although the generals were expressionless, they were communicating with each other with their eyes. Li Zheng must have been annoyed by the Duke of the State, otherwise the Duke of the State would never have attacked him as soon as he came.
A quarter of an hour later, two servants dragged Li Zheng, whose butts were so shaved that he had been slapped, and threw them in the lobby.
