Nearly three days have passed, and what Zhang Ximeng said to everyone is still echoing in his ears. Fu Youde also thinks it makes sense, and is even shocked. Sure enough, Zhu Jiajun has unique talents.
Regarding this case, the facts have become clear. The leading soldier, together with seven other soldiers, hid a total of three women. They were all captured and taken into the army when they were marching from Mianyang for the entertainment of others.
Not only did these soldiers come here on their own, but they even used it to make money. Every night, when there was a rush, dozens of people would come together, and the chaos and filth therein was indescribable.
Zheng Yuchun and the others counted the number of people and discovered the matter. The other party first tried to prevaricate in the name of husband and wife, and then when the matter was exposed, they wanted to kill Zheng Yuchun and others. They were simply crazy and daring.
It is simply unnatural for such a person not to die.
Fu Youde also strongly agrees that it should be severely punished.
However, after Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, many people in the army had already reflected on their mistakes. They knew their mistakes. Human lives were at stake. Could they be a little more generous and give them a way out?
Fu Youde didn't have any extravagant expectations at first, but Zhang Ximeng's reasoning was beautiful, and he had the reputation of being a sage, so it was not impossible for him to be kind outside the law.
After much thought, Fu Youde came to ask for a meeting.
"Please take a seat."
Zhang Ximeng asked Fu Youde to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "If General Fu has anything to say, just say it."
After Fu Youde thanked him, he observed Zhang Ximeng's expression and found that Zhang Ximeng was very cheerful and in a good mood, which gave him some confidence.
"Prime Minister Zhang, I came here with a humble duty. Although I only lasted for a few days, what I saw and heard was eye-opening and shocking. My biggest impression is that the military is rigorous, the laws are strict, and any mistakes must be investigated.
It’s clear and convincing.” Fu Youde paused and said: “Especially the matter at hand, robbing women for fun in the army is really a heinous crime. No matter whether it is the laws of heaven and the country, it cannot be agreed... Who doesn’t have sisters, who doesn’t have sisters?
A man who doesn’t have a daughter? Compare your feelings to others, put yourself in their shoes, and think for those who have been harmed. Those who are the culprits should also show their heads to others to set an example."
After Fu Youde finished speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he found that Zhang Ximeng didn't speak either. Then he raised his head and found that Zhang Ximeng seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He was panicked for no reason.
"Prime Minister Zhang, I hold a humble position and come from a humble background. I don't have much education. If there is anything wrong with me, I would like to ask Prime Minister Zhang for advice."
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Ximeng suddenly laughed, "General Fu, what you said is very good...but I want to ask you, do you want me to kill only the culprit, that is, kill one culprit, and let the others go lightly, and don't embarrass them?"
?”
Fu Youde was stunned. He had tried hard to hide his purpose and made his words impeccable, but I'm sorry, but his true intention still couldn't be hidden from Zhang Ximeng's eyes.
After being stunned for a long time, Fu Youde had to admit: "What Mr. Zhang said is that there is only something wrong with holding a humble position. Please don't be polite, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "General Fu, I have already drawn up the results of this case... All eight people who participated in harboring women and profited from it were all killed in half. In addition, a total of four hundred people were involved in recreational activities.
Many people should be given twenty canes and expelled from the army... In addition, rectification should be carried out in the army and military discipline should be strictly enforced. Not only this kind of thing, but also other evil deeds, will be strictly investigated to the end, and rape will never be tolerated. "
After a pause, Zhang Ximeng added: "Including your subordinates, they will also be tested. I hope you are mentally prepared!"
Fu Youde was shocked. He never expected that Zhang Ximeng had said so many truths, and the soldiers all cried bitterly and confessed their sins. How could the punishment be so severe?
"Xiang Zhang, those three women are not dead. They did not commit murder. Is it too much to chop off eight heads at once and expel so many people?"
"No!"
Zhang Ximeng shook his head and said: "General Fu, you said there were no deaths, but I want to ask you, in this world, being kidnapped by some rebels, in the eyes of the family, is there any difference from being killed? For these women,
, they were caught in the army and had to provide entertainment for dozens of people every day. This kind of life was probably worse than hell. Do they have to be killed before they can be beheaded and killed? Otherwise, they can be spared.
Criminal?"
Fu Youde's face turned red, he was speechless and could only lower his head.
Zhang Ximeng added: "You may think that since some soldiers have repented and realized their mistakes. Knowing their mistakes can make a lot of improvements. God has the virtue of good life, shouldn't he be lenient?"
Fu Youde suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth. He did think so, but it seemed that Zhang Ximeng did not agree.
"If you just talk about the truth and make people realize their mistakes, then why do you need punishment? The judgment of reason cannot replace the punishment of weapons... So the people who deserve to be killed will still be killed, and the prisoners who deserve to be punished will still not be lenient. In my case
, admitting mistakes is only a reference condition, but it is not a reason to break the law."
Fu Youde was trembling with fear. He finally saw another side of Zhang Ximeng.
It turns out that this young Prime Minister Zhang is not only reasonable, gentle and elegant, but also has a heart of stone, a firm attitude, and no mercy!
Fu Youde lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then said: "Zhang Xiang showed kindness and power at the same time. In troubled times, he used heavy codes and humiliated himself. Those beasts brought their own fault. There is no need to feel sorry for them. Kill them all. It will be a good opportunity to tighten military discipline and let them know that military orders
Like a mountain, let’s see who dares to look down upon it in the future!”
Zhang Ximeng listened to Fu Youde's words and sighed secretly in his heart. Even he could not see deeper.
When facing Ding Pulang and the soldiers that day, Zhang Ximeng said a lot of truths, and they all sounded right, but he always felt that there was still a little bit of meaning missing.
There are always some things that are not fully explained.
"General Fu, where do you think the fighting power of an army of troops comes from? How can it be able to conquer everything in battle?"
Fu Youde grinned bitterly and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, you have read too little for your humble position, so you don't know anything... I just think that if the soldiers are well-trained, well-fed and well-fed, and the orders are strict, and everyone is afraid of the laws and dare not stop moving forward, then the war will be won naturally.
Already."
Zhang Ximeng smiled, "General Fu, when you say this, do you also think that the general should have the power to deal with it? Like Ding Pulang, it is natural to kill the guilty! If I stopped this, would it harm the general?
Authority? If this case is handled according to my wishes, will it be more difficult for you to lead troops in the future? The soldiers disobey orders, and when they arrive on the battlefield, everyone is unwilling to fight bravely, so how can we win the battle? "
Fu Youde was simply dumbfounded. Could this Zhang Ximeng see through his heart? How could he say the deepest words in his heart?
I came here to talk about this, isn't it to maintain the authority of the general? Once the people below only know Zhang Xianggong and not them, how can they lead the troops, how can they give consistent orders and make clear orders?
Zhang Ximeng saw this and smiled slightly. After saying so much, the most fundamental things were finally revealed.
"General Fu, you have read our military orders and disciplines in the past few days... Do you think that we treat our soldiers too well and do not even allow generals to whip and punish them at will? In this way, how can we ensure that military orders are implemented? What if we get to the battlefield?
What should I do if my soldiers disobey orders?"
"Do you think that war is not a child's play, that we are just fanciful and don't know how to fight at all, or that our military orders and regulations are just for fun, and those who actually lead the troops will be fools if they follow this, right?
"
Fu Youde swallowed hard. In front of Zhang Ximeng, he was simply transparent and had no secrets at all.
"Prime Minister Zhang, I am really confused in my humble position, but I think I have my own reasons, so I would like to ask Prime Minister Zhang for some advice."
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "General Fu, this matter is not complicated. If we give our soldiers these benefits, are you willing to join the army?"
"It's natural."
"Then do the soldiers know how to ensure that these benefits are real and will not break trust?"
Fu Youde was stunned and humbly said: "Please give me some advice, Mr. Zhang."
"This is a simple matter. Naturally, we must continue to win and defeat powerful enemies... After all, the seals on the land deeds can only be fulfilled under our rule. If we fail, these land deeds will be no different from waste paper."
Fu Youde opened his eyes wide and listened carefully, fearing that he would miss a word.
"Speaking of this, the source of the strength of our soldiers can be easily revealed. We give each soldier enough conditions to survive to ensure that they and their families have food and clothing without worries. And in order to maintain these, every soldier must
We must fight bravely and never regret it, because only victory can we maintain this life."
"So when our soldiers encounter war, they fight bravely. The most fundamental thing is not to rely on the intimidation of the generals, nor on the strict military orders, and to kill people at every turn to establish their authority... Although our generals will also take the lead in the charge, our laws and orders
It is also the most strict, but these are not the most fundamental things!”
"No matter how violent, the courage that bursts out under the intimidation of military orders or the temptation of heavy rewards is not as good as the fighting spirit that bursts out to protect your family and your hard-won life! This fighting spirit is enough
Shake the heaven and earth, change the world!"
Fu Youde was inexplicably shocked and shocked.
In the past, he was only full of illusions about the Zhu Jiajun, thinking that they were better and more promising... But it was not until today that Fu Youde truly understood the source of the Zhu Jiajun's power.
In Han and Song Dynasties, after the end of the world, and even in the previous dynasties, soldiers returned to the generals. The soldiers obeyed the generals' orders, and the generals relied on their own abilities to kill the enemy bravely in order to protect their wives and children.
But when it comes to the Zhu Jiajun, rewards are given to all soldiers, and then everyone is allowed to work together to strive for greater victory.
"It is true that Chen Youliang is a chicken and a dog, and Yuan Ting is vulnerable to a blow!" Fu Youde clenched his fists, completely impressed, and couldn't help but said: "Zhu Jiajun must be invincible in the world!"
