Camp flags fluttered in the cold wind. The soldiers under the flags wore thick winter clothes and stood in a military posture with their chests held high and their heads raised.
The whole camp was in a state of solemn killing!
Countless soldiers gathered together in silence.
Although they were curious about what happened and why His Highness Jianguo summoned them before the war, the atmosphere was still so serious.
However, under the constraints of strict military discipline, the entire Ming army remained quiet, with no one talking to each other.
There was silence everywhere on the entire campus, except for the footsteps of troops entering the campus one after another and the sound of slogans.
Countless soldiers of the Ming army stood upright in military posture in the cold winter wind.
Just like neatly planted green pines and cypresses!
woo woo woo woo!
The low sound of the horn resounded throughout the military camp, and everyone looked toward the entrance of the school grounds.
The old village head of Wangjiapuzi Village also stood in the crowd, following the crowd and looking towards the entrance of the school ground.
He has quite a lot of life experience. Just by seeing this scene, he can conclude that someone big is coming.
Sure enough, under the gaze of everyone in the entire school.
A tall banner appeared in everyone's sight.
On the large flag with a red background and black borders, a five-clawed golden dragon with fangs and claws is embroidered with gold thread.
It looks very majestic and arrogant!
Under the banner of the Great Emperor, there is a cavalry team of the Guards Brigade. On the back of a tall horse, there is a tall and majestic knight wearing armor.
Countless elite knights from the Imperial Guard Brigade surrounded Zhu Hongyu, who was wearing golden armor and a scarlet cloak on his back, in the center.
The old village chief's heart skipped a beat. Looking at this scene, he could probably guess who was coming.
The Great Banner was still far away from them, so the old village chief and the people around him who were forcibly brought into the military camp to visit all knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the Great Banner.
A group of people were chatting chaotically with auspicious words.
"Long live His Royal Highness the Governor!"
"His Royal Highness, Jianguo, is invincible and his country will last forever!"
"His Royal Highness Jian Guo is in good health, everything goes well, and everything goes well!"
"..."
In sharp contrast to these greetings from the common people were the greetings from the soldiers of the Ming army.
"salute!"
"salute!"
"salute!"
"..."
Starting from the entrance of the school ground, the Ming army generals from all ministries shouted loudly one after another.
Loud shouts resounded throughout the school grounds!
Wow! Wow!
Immediately afterwards, the friction sound of clothing material was unusually obvious.
He clenched his fists and hammered hard on the armor on his chest.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The neat muffled sound is almost comparable to the sound of a war drum being beaten.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"..."
Amidst the uniform shouts, Zhu Hongyu and his accompanying escorts slowly walked to the center of the school grounds, under the temporary high platform.
Surrounded by many guards, Zhu Hongyu strode onto the high platform, glanced around with a pair of bright tiger eyes, and said loudly.
"All troops are exempt from courtesy!"
The guards with loud voices shouted in succession, and before long, the sound of disrespect resounded throughout the school grounds.
When the people kneeling on the ground stood up and the Ming army soldiers in the school grounds stood still again, Zhu Hongyu said loudly.
"Today, Gu is very angry!"
"The war is approaching, and the Qing captives are right in front of us. There are actually soldiers in the army who sneak out of the camp at night, plunder places, rape women and children, and violate military discipline."
"What Gu said about the army being strict in military discipline and not doing any harm to the common people was completely regarded as nonsense!"
"My Ming Dynasty's military law has been treated as a piece of waste paper!"
"Gu's face was slapped hard!"
"A general advised me, saying that war is coming and it is not advisable to engage in mass killings. Soldiers who violate military laws will be given small punishments and big warnings."
"They should be given a chance to atone for their sins!"
"However, after thinking deeply, I flatly refused!"
"Military law is ruthless and does not tolerate the slightest provocation or the slightest favoritism!"
"Today, these people dared to ignore military law and discipline before the war, rob the people, and cause harm to the place!"
"In the future, they will dare to disobey military orders in front of the formation, retreat without orders, use the pretext of turning in before the formation, become deserters, betray their teammates, and destroy the morale of the army!"
"Even surrendering to the Qing captives, becoming a traitor, and bringing shame to our ancestors!"
"Today, in front of all the soldiers in the army, I will use the heads of these people to make a blood sacrifice to our Ming Dynasty Military Law!"
"In front of all the victims, use the heads of these black sheep to tell the world."
"Our Ming army is the king's division of the Han Dynasty. It is not a beast army of Qing captives. We love the people like our own children, and our military skills are as good as mountains. We will not demolish houses to death from freezing, and will not plunder to death from starvation. We will never plunder or harm the people!"
"..."
After the voice fell, all the troops fell silent, while the common people who were forced to visit showed expressions of gratitude.
Before I knew it, my eyes were filled with tears!
Zhu Hongyu's words really touched their hearts.
Since the late Ming Dynasty, military disasters have almost never stopped.
Regardless of whether it was the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, or the rogue rebel armies of the past, military discipline was worse than the last.
Every time a war breaks out, the people on the battlefield will suffer!
Even if the army is just marching through, the place will be scraped off a layer of land.
The victorious side massacred the city at every turn, while the defeated troops fled and caused chaos, causing harm to the place...
Under the disaster of successive military disasters, the population of the entire Central Plains has plummeted.
The people have been suffering from continuous disasters for so many years, and they have long been accustomed to military disasters.
They even take it as a matter of course that every time soldiers cross the border, they loot and loot places!
Now that they heard Zhu Hongyu's solemn oath, they suddenly realized that the military disaster was not a matter of course!
The military should not be what they think it is!
Zhu Hongyu gave an order, and the rebels were escorted in from outside the school grounds one by one.
Dozens of rebel soldiers were escorted to the high platform.
They were tied into rice dumplings with hemp ropes, all their clothes were stripped off, and they knelt naked under the high platform.
The cold wind carrying moisture blew from the Yangtze River, and these naked soldiers shivered in the cold wind.
They seemed to realize something and struggled violently.
Or they were kowtowing desperately towards the high platform and begging for mercy, pitifully wanting Zhu Hongyu to give them another chance.
"Your Highness, I realize my mistake!"
"Your Highness, please give me another chance to atone for my sins. We are willing to fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty!"
"..."
Zhu Hongyu stood on the high platform, his ears full of begging and begging for mercy, but his face was expressionless.
The eyes as bright as stars are full of coldness!
These people would have known today why they did so in the first place!
When they harmed the people last night, those people probably begged for mercy like this!
Zhu Hongyu just gave orders to Yu Antai beside him with a cold face.
"Ask the victim to identify the person and report the crime!"
"Then, the Military Law Department began to conduct trials in accordance with military law and came up with corresponding disposal plans!"
Yu Antai bowed and accepted the order, and then went to work.
Not long after, the clamor of the people reporting and exposing the case shook the world, and one after another people rushed to stand up and report.
The Military Law Department began to judge the crimes of those rebel soldiers in accordance with military law!
The mistakes those people committed could basically lead to beheading or death with a stick.
The military police of the Ministry of Military Justice set out to identify the rebels, and then asked Zhu Hongyu for instructions on how to deal with them.
With a cold face, Zhu Hongyu personally signed the dossier submitted by the Military Law Department with the word "Choose", and then used his seal.
