A moment later, Su Ding appeared cautiously in Shen Yi's tent. He bowed slightly, bowed his head deeply and said, "Mr. Shen, did you punish General Xue a little too harshly?"
"The general feels that there is still room for discussion on this matter. After all, the position of the general cannot be so casual..."
Mr. Shen was sitting in his seat writing a letter at the moment. He didn't even raise his head when he heard this: "Do you think I'm being childish?"
Su Ding lowered his head and said: "I will not dare."
Shen Yi put down his brush, pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "Sit down and talk."
Su Ding sat down carefully, paused, and continued: "Those two Qianhus already knew they were wrong. Just now they found out that General Xue was dismissed because of them. Their faces turned red with embarrassment and they wanted to come to find Mr. Shen. Please plead with General Xue..."
"Were they not stopped by General Xue, the two of them have come to see you, Mr. Shen."
"I recognize both of those two people."
"He Gong, and Zongfang."
Shen Yi looked up at Su Ding and said calmly: "Of these two people, Zongfang is from Linhaiwei and has been familiar with Xue Wei for a long time. The other He Qianhu joined the Anti-Japanese Army and fought with us against Japanese pirates when he was also in Taizhou Prefecture. The old man, they contributed to killing the Japanese pirates..."
Mr. Shen looked calm and said, "I wrote it down for them."
At this point, without waiting for Su Ding to speak, Shen Yi continued: "It is precisely because of this that these two people can be so wild and rebellious. I personally tell all Qianhu in person that they must not slack off in training."
"But when I left Huai'an, they began to shorten their training time."
Su Ding felt chills go down his spine when he heard this, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen, these two generals and generals recognize you. They all recognize you sincerely, Gong Shen, and they have absolutely no intention of being obedient to you!"
"I know."
Shen Yi waved his hand and said calmly: "Those people who came out of Linhai Guard back then have now become a vague Linhai faction, but at most they don't recognize you as the second in command, but they don't dare to deny me."
"They slacked off in training, not to oppose me, but probably because Qi people quit, and they felt slack in their hearts and tired."
"So I wasn't angry at first."
Shen Yi looked at Su Ding and said quietly: "I asked Zhu Zhen to send a letter to Xue Wei and asked him to pay attention to it.
"I didn't expect Xue Wei to punish them severely."
Shen Yi had no expression on his face.
"If only Xue Wei had dozens more military sticks and personally brought up the progress of the training, this matter would be nothing more than nothing. I wouldn't even be here."
Su Ding opened his mouth and was still about to speak, when he heard Mr. Shen sigh slowly.
"Even Xue Wei with his temper can't do anything to them."
"There are factions in the army, even like this."
Su Ding said quickly: "Mr. Shen, General Xue is..."
"Too much emphasis on loyalty and friendship..."
"He has no intention of forming a faction..."
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes: "He doesn't have a faction, is he in another household?"
Mr. Shen sneered and said: "He may not form a faction himself, but secretly, I'm afraid he has already been promoted as the "leader" by others!"
"If I continue to ignore it, within a year or two, when the Huai'an army is neutralized, there will be many factions, such as the Linhai faction, the Yueqing faction, and later they may be divided into Taizhou people and Wenzhou people..."
"Maybe there will be a Huai'an faction!"
Mr. Shen closed his eyes and exhaled: "The imperial court is going to fight a war, which will only happen in the next year or two. If we don't fight this year, and if we don't fight next year, there will definitely be a fight the year after that!"
"It's very likely that there will be a fight this year."
Shen Yi raised his head and glanced at Su Ding.
"How can we fight if we let them act like this again?"
“It’s not good if you’re not successful but you’re not famous. How come there are so many twists and turns!”
Su Ding lowered his head and said, "But General Xue is always innocent. He has made outstanding contributions..."
"How can he be considered innocent if he is soft-hearted?"
Shen Yi directly interrupted Su Ding and said, "General Su, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. Without this matter, he will never grow up and will never be able to stand alone."
Shen Yi said slowly: "We just take this opportunity to clean up and improve the military discipline. I am currently writing the Huai'an military discipline. I will write it out tomorrow. From now on, no matter who makes any mistakes or what mistakes they make, they will all act in accordance with military discipline and law."
At this time, more than a thousand words had been written on the paper in front of Shen Yi, which was the Huai'an Army Discipline he had drafted.
To be precise, it is an expanded and revised version of the original anti-Japanese military discipline.
Su Ding still gritted his teeth and refused to leave.
"Mr. Shen, you also know that General Xue became a monk on the way. Fortunately, General Xue took him in, so General Xue has a place in the Huai'an army. Now, half of General Xue's achievements are due to General Xue's bravery. Now he is the general. Commander..."
He knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "How to gain a foothold on the Eastern Front in the future..."
Shen Yi waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter. I've been here for a while. You can do whatever you want. No one dares to jump."
At this point, Shen Yi added: "This is a military order."
"It's not a meeting."
Mr. Shen said slowly: "You don't have to worry about Xue Wei's future. In the future, during the Northern Expedition, there will be more than just two armies."
Su Ding stood up helplessly, clasped his fists and lowered his head: "I will obey the order!"
………………
That night, Mr. Shen stayed up half the night and wrote out the newly revised military disciplines all night long. Early the next morning, he personally carried a bucket of paste and posted the military disciplines on the notice board of Xiangshui Camp.
After affixing military discipline, soldiers had already begun training on the school field. Shen Shilang silently walked to the school field, lined up with the soldiers in the school field, and trained with them.
When the sun shines down, the weather becomes very hot.
Shen Yi was soon almost soaked with sweat.
However, he is the absolute core of the Huai'an army. As soon as he entered the training queue, Qianhu discovered that not long after, all the generals, including Xue Weisu Ding, arrived at the school field to meet with the soldiers of Xiangshui Camp. Let's train together.
In order to prevent heatstroke, today's training was conducted out of the sun. Shen Yi practiced all day long. After the training was dismissed, he returned to his tent and took a shower.
After he took a shower, he sat down in his seat. He had just been writing for a while when Xue Wei's voice came from outside the tent: "Mr. Shen, the last general Xue Wei wants to see you..."
Shen Yi didn't even raise his head.
"Come in."
Soon, this big man walked in with a short stature. He half-knelt in front of Shen Yi, lowered his head and said, "Meet Mr. Shen."
Shen Yi waved his hand: "Sit yourself."
Xue Wei did not stand up, but still lowered his head, his face a little red: "I will not be able to defeat Duke Shen in the end, and I will let him down."
Shen Yi put down his writing brush, glanced at him, and then focused on the letter in front of him: "Do you feel uncomfortable when you leave your position as commander-in-chief?"
"It's not uncomfortable."
Xue Wei's forehead touched the ground: "The general will feel uncomfortable if he disappoints Duke Shen."
Shen Yi sighed, put down his brush, walked to Xue Wei, stretched out his hand to help him up, then reached out and patted the big man on the shoulder, and said: "I removed you from the position of general because of what you did. It’s really wrong and makes me feel angry.”
"Secondly, it's because I'm going to clean up the army and need a cold-faced general. I think you can do it by asking you to be this cold-faced general, but it will inevitably hurt the so-called loyalty in your heart."
"Besides, your fellow villagers may not instigate you and use you as a gunman."
"When the time comes, it will be muddled and muddy, and it will not be clear."
"Now that you have retreated, they are not familiar with Su Ding, so maybe things will be easier to handle."
With tears in his eyes, Xue Wei lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen worked hard, and I will note it down!"
Shen Yi patted his arm.
"As long as you don't hold grudges against me, I'll be able to run the errands well. I'll need your great efforts in the Northern Expedition in the future."
Xue Wei half-knelt on the ground respectfully: "At the end of my life, only Shen Gongma will be the one who follows his lead!"
After Master Shen was stunned for a moment, he helped Xue Wei up, but he couldn't help but look to the west.
For Ling Su, the problem of factionalism may be more serious, but Ling Su is smart, so the problem has not been obvious.
Moreover, the training standards set by Ling Su were always lower than those on the Eastern Front, so the soldiers were not very resentful. In addition, he was very aware of Shen Yi's methods, so the training of troops on the Western Front never stopped.
Ling Su is still very good at training troops.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi returned to his seat and handed the Huai'an Army Discipline, which he had transcribed again, into Xue Wei's hands.
"Go and send someone to send the military discipline I drafted to the Lianshui Camp on the Western Front on Pegasus and give it to Ling Su."
"Let him immediately start to improve military discipline and not neglect it."
Xue Wei immediately lowered his head without saying a word.
