Upon hearing the military report, all the guards' eyes turned to Xia Xun. [] Chang Xi was late for an hour. How would the new governor deal with such a provocation?
Xia Xun's expression remained motionless, but he sat up slightly and ordered: "Ask him to come in!"
Guanhaiwei Chang Xi hurriedly walked into the tent. Before he could catch the expression of Xia Xun, who was sitting on the throne, he knelt down on one knee and performed the most solemn military salute: "I have humble duty, Chang Xi, to pay my respects to the minister!"
Xia Xun said calmly: "Chang Dusi, you are late!"
Chang Xi apologized dejectedly: "Yes, because I had diarrhea due to unclean food, I delayed my trip and was a little late. Please forgive me, sir!"
The hatred in Chang Xi's heart was that he was Luo Yu's confidant. This was the reason why Luo Yu borrowed his territory when he decided to take action. It was impossible to hide such a big move from him, so Chang Xi could only
accomplice.
But the court's laws require evidence. You can't punish him without evidence. Although there are cases of punishment without teaching, no emperor will lightly ignore the laws used to maintain his rule, so Chang Xi is lucky.
The land escaped unscathed.
Chang Xi knew that Yang Xu, the auxiliary prince, would find fault with him when he became the governor of the five provinces to suppress Japanese invaders, so he started activities early. The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion had already started activities and wanted to transfer him from Xia Xun.
However, in order to appoint, remove or mobilize generals, it is necessary to go through the Ministry of War. However, the Ministry of War, which has always followed the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, has become inexplicably stubborn this time and has been delaying approval.
Chang Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with Xia Xun first. As long as Xia Xun was not allowed to grasp his handle during this period, there was nothing he could do. Therefore, after receiving the general's order, Chang Xi did not hesitate for a moment and immediately set off on the road.
. But something was wrong. I wonder if it was because he didn’t have a almanac when he went out. The journey was really rough. He only stayed in a hotel for one night, and the next day he had diarrhea and diarrhea, which made him weak.
Chang Xi went to the drugstore to boil some medicine and took it. She was rushing with the medicine jar, but she hurried slowly and was still late.
Xia Xun smiled slightly and said: "When I took office, you failed to comply with the first general order. I wanted to spare you, but military law is ruthless!"
He turned around and asked Wu Danteng, the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Capital Command and Envoys Department: "What kind of crime should Wu Danteng deserve in a situation like this?"
Zhejiang's capital commander Luo Yu has died mysteriously on Shuangyu Island. The court has not yet issued a new appointment. The capital commander's department is now in charge of the capital commander Si Hanchao and the capital commander Wu Danteng. They are responsible for military affairs.
, one is in charge of military discipline and logistics, and the division of labor is clear. Naturally, we have to ask this military officer about matters related to military discipline.
When Wu Qianshi heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate. There was nothing trivial in the army. From the perspective of military discipline, it was a very serious matter. But military discipline is one thing. In peacetime, who would enforce it so strictly?
The violator is a high-ranking official! Normally, when encountering this kind of situation, he would only receive a few words of reprimand from the superior officer. What else could he do?
Besides, he and Chang Xi have always had a good personal relationship. If he doesn't help now, when will he help? But the governor is a victim of the "Shuangyu Tongwan Case". He has made it clear that he wants to cause trouble for Chang Xi. Chang Xi
Since he has been given a handle, he can't hide it too obviously...
Wu Qianshi thought secretly and tentatively said: "This..., military orders are like mountains. No matter what reason Chang Xi has, it is always a fact that he did not respond on time. It is a serious military discipline and he can be punished with whipping to warn all the soldiers. Ten lashes..."
Xia Xun slowly raised his eyes and stared at him coldly. The look in his eyes seemed to have substance and stabbed him hard. Wu Qianshi panicked and changed his words: "Ten whips...it seems If it's less, why not... give him twenty lashes as a warning to others, what do the ministry think?"
"What?"
When Chang Xi heard this, he was furious. He originally wanted to give in and just accept a scolding from Xia Xun. Under the roof of a human being, he could not look back for a moment. He could not be like a noble prince who held the military and political affairs of five provinces. The powerful governor-general of the Anti-Japanese War publicly challenged him and could bear his anger for a while. It was not too late to turn around and slowly entertain him. Unexpectedly, the auxiliary prince was so lackluster that he would nakedly avenge his private vendetta just after he took office.
Xia Xun shook his head and said, "This is inappropriate!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Xi, who was about to have a fit, calmed down and sneered secretly: "I'm sorry you don't dare to do anything to me! Flogging Pontus? Huh, you think I'm a big-headed soldier." , let you rub it, let you rub it?"
Xia Xun then turned to Si Hanchao, the commander-in-chief of the capital, and said slowly and authentically: "Sir, I have never led troops, and I don't know much about military law. I don't know that in military law, the generals who are ordered by me to gather troops will not arrive at the scheduled time. , what can you say?”
Si Hanchao is a young man in his forties, with thin cheeks, a hawk-nosed nose, and eagle-eyed eyes. He has an aura that is calm but powerful. He has a relatively cold personality and does not have close personal relationships with the generals. How can he be promoted to this position? , mainly relying on his military exploits and having no strong backing in the court. Otherwise, based on his ability, he should have been promoted to above Luo Yu long ago, and he would not have been relegated to the deputy position, and Luo Yu would overwhelm him.
Before Xia Xun came to Hangzhou, he had inquired about these things clearly. He had carefully investigated the origins, factions and temperaments of several major generals in the Zhejiang Capital Command and Envoy Department. This Si Hanchao The one with the simplest background is the easiest to win over and the one he wants to win the most.
Hearing Xia Xun's question, Si Hanchao raised his eyes and met Xia Xun. As soon as he caught Xia Xun's eyes, he immediately understood Xia Xun's intention. At their level, there are many things that don't need to be said. If you are too understanding, you can reveal the other person's intentions with just one move. If you don't understand, you won't be able to climb to this position at all.
"Sir, you are forcing me to express my position!"
Although Si Hanchao has been accustomed to unfair treatment over the years, it is human nature to go to higher places. When an opportunity suddenly appeared, his usually calm heart could not help but beat fast. Get up: Should I hand over my name or not?
Xia Xun's face darkened slightly, and he said displeasedly: "Why, Sitongzhi unified the province's troops and horses, and he can't even memorize the military law in full?"
When Si Hanchao heard the words "unify the army and horses of the province", he couldn't help but feel excited, and he blurted out: "The name should not be called, the time should not be called, the time should be missed, the law should be changed, this is called a slow army, and the offender Behead!"
As soon as Si Hanchao said these words, all the generals in the hall changed their expressions. Of course, they all knew that this was the second article of military law, but this military law was just an empty talk on paper. They had never I have never seen a general beheaded for such a trivial matter. Does the governor in front of me really dare to do this?
Chang Xi jumped up and shouted loudly: "You dare!"
Xia Xun nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Since there is military law, I don't dare to pursue personal interests, so I will just do it according to military law!"
As soon as he raised his hand, several soldiers who had been prepared immediately rushed over and grabbed Chang Xi's arms. Chang Xi was shocked and angry, roaring like thunder: "Yang Xu! You are so bold!
"You are avenging a private vendetta! I am a fourth-grade military general of the imperial court. You dare to do anything without permission without receiving the imperial decree? I want to sue you, I want..."
Before Chang Xi could stop roaring, he was pushed to the ground, a rag was stuffed in his mouth, his shoulders were wiped, his arms were tied together, and they were tied tightly with ropes.
Xia Xun was neither sullen nor angry, he just sighed softly and said: "The military order is like a mountain, who can carry it? Anyway, the governor can't carry it, so pull him out and chop him down!"
He wanted to kill someone, and he killed a fourth-grade general, but he said it so plainly, even though all the officials in the hall were strong generals who had killed people and seen blood, they shuddered in their eyes.
Chang Xi's eyes burst with anger. In his desperate efforts, he pushed the gag off with his tongue and cursed loudly: "Yang! You have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard! You actually avenged private revenge and killed people in public! I am the emperor's minister and the Ming Dynasty.
The military general is not your private soldier surnamed Yang! You just took office and you are good at killing generals! You will not die well! Lord Supervisor of the Army, Lord Supervisor of the Army, please say something..."
Xia Xun's soldiers didn't care who his second uncle was. When they heard him insulting their commander, they picked up the scabbard and slapped him hard. The sound of the scabbard hitting the flesh penetrated the whole hall.
They all shivered involuntarily. Chang Xi was beaten so hard that his teeth fell out, his mouth was full of blood, his cheeks were red and swollen, he couldn't speak clearly, and even his tongue was injured.
Xia Xun sat there, smiling as Chang Xi was dragged out, and smiling at the silent generals. No one dared to look at him. Wherever Xia Xun's eyes glanced, everyone quietly lowered his head. They
I was really shocked. Even under the guise of so-called military law, a fourth-grade official is a fourth-grade official. Who dares to kill without permission?
Even if the director of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is ordered to patrol the country, he only has the power to take down officials below the fifth rank on the spot, dismiss them and bring them to Beijing for justice. Execution on the spot? You are playing too much! Bao Zheng will kill wherever he goes.
, that’s just an act! If he really strikes the world with a guillotine without going through a review by the Ministry of Punishment or a verdict from the emperor, then he, the defender of the law, will become the biggest destroyer of the law.
This is a fourth-grade general. This is not a battlefield where two armies are fighting. Even if you have the royal flag and the sword of Shangfang, doing this is really...
All the generals suddenly came up with an idea: "The Duke of Fu has been appointed as the governor of the five provinces. His Highness may have dug a hole for him! He has no good intentions, so he tried every means to drag us to be buried with him! We must not let him catch us.
My handler, Duke Fu, is crazy!"
Of course, Xia Xun was not crazy. He dared to do this because he had the tacit approval of Emperor Yongle. When Zhu Di agreed to appoint him as the governor of the five provinces to suppress Japanese invaders, he once said to him: "The navy in eastern Zhejiang has framed our colleagues..."
They are all within your jurisdiction, you should deal with them all!" With this sentence, he had no scruples about killing only Chang Xi, even if he killed a few more.
He just wants to be unscrupulous and kill in public! Who said that killing a general in a formation is unlucky? If he can't make you respect him, then he can make you fear him. The result will be the same, as long as you are willing to obey!
The generals were awestruck and shocked, but Xia Xun was not crazy enough.
He slowly turned to Wu Qianshi, shook his head regretfully, and said: "Wu Qianshi, as the commander of the capital, is in charge of the military law and discipline of a province, but your understanding and implementation of military law disappoints me!
Very disappointed! Please explain the errands at hand to Sitongzhi and report back to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion! I have no use for people like you in my office!"
Wu Qianshi was shocked. He did not expect that just because he had shown favor to Chang Xi, the Duke would deprive him of his military post without hesitation and expel him from Zhejiang Prefecture.
"This man is crazy, this man is really crazy! Does he think he is the emperor?"
Wu Qian was unwilling to do anything and wanted to protest a little, but at this time a soldier strode in holding a tray, knelt down on one knee, held the tray high, and loudly reported to Xia Xun: "Commander Chang Haiwei
Xi has already rectified the law, please ask your ministers to 'certify your head'!"
All the generals put a human head on the tray in the soldier's hand. A human head was placed on the tray. The bun was messy and the face was pale. The two eyes were still open with anger. Under the neck, the flesh, blood, windpipe, and tendons were tangled together, and the blood was still slowing down.
It slowly flowed out and overflowed the tray, which was shocking.
This man was still alive a moment ago, and he was a general of the same rank as them. Except for Ren Juying of Shuangyu Guards, he wanted to shout loudly and feel relieved. The other generals smelled the smell of blood and felt a little nauseous.
Feel.
Xia Xun sat behind the handsome case, took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve, gently covered his nose, waved his hands and said, "Take it out and hang it on a high pole to show the public!"
"As you command!"
The soldier agreed and strode out again holding the tray. Zheng He picked up the herbal tea, blew gently on the tea leaves floating on it, and said with a smile: "My lord, your murderous intent is a bit strong!"
Xia Xun put the handkerchief in his pocket, sighed leisurely, and said: "Everywhere you look, there are all murderable people. The murderous intent... must be serious!"
After hearing this, all the officials shivered smartly.

On the sea, several boats pretending to be Japanese pirates sent by He Tianyang surrounded the fat envoy ship. The sailors on the envoy ship squatted on the deck with their hands on their heads to show that they would never resist. There were bundles of goods in boxes.
After being carried up from below the cabin, some "ronin" happily carried things to their own boats.
Feifu stood there in despair and protested: "You can't do this, you can't do this. I am also a human being, and I am your compatriot! I am an envoy to the Ming Dynasty under the orders of the Taizheng Minister, General Yoshimitsu. These
It’s a gift to His Majesty the General, you..."
The two "Japanese pirate" leaders ignored him, and one of them muttered to the other: "Do you want to keep their ship as well?"
"Forget it, this ship is a complete merchant ship and is not suitable for us to use. For the sake of our compatriots, let it be left for them to use when they return to the country, hahahaha..."
When Fei Fu heard this, his heart went cold.
"Hey, you idiot, take off your clothes!"
"What?" Fei Fu stared blankly at the pirate in front of him.
"Clothes! Take off your clothes! Well, the material is good, you can exchange it for some money!" The pirate muttered, and took off his clothes without any explanation, leaving only a piece of crotch cloth on his crotch.
"You... how could you do this? It's so rude!"
The fat man chased the pirates to the side of the ship with a trembling body. He jumped on the ship with the pirates, yelled and sang a tune and flew away. Finally, he became bolder. He clenched his fists and howled at the retreating Japanese pirate ship.
People don't think using sex to "greet" someone's relatives is a curse word. They feel it is worse and think it is just to make the other person feel comfortable and fails to achieve the purpose of humiliating the other person. They are used to using words to describe stupidity, filth, and insignificance.
He insulted the other party, so the fat man yelled: "You rude things! Brainless trash fish! Bastards, beasts, idiots, toilets, garbage, debris..."
On the side, the captain timidly said: "Mr. Fatty..."
The fat man continued to scold: "Pig head, ugly, country bumpkin, smelly turd... um, what's the matter?"
The captain pointed to his and whispered: "Your crotch cloth fell off..."
Fei Fu's voice suddenly rose to a higher pitch, and he screamed: "I want to ask Your Majesty the General to kill you, the bed bugs who are causing trouble on the sea!"
: The Chinese New Year is coming soon, I wish you all a happy holiday_, vote, recommendation vote, all required!
In addition, let me answer a question. I believe this is also a question for some book friends. Yesterday, a book friend asked me why my update speed was not much higher than before after I resigned.
Let me explain here, I resigned because my body could no longer bear the intensity of fighting on both sides, not because I wanted to write more. To be honest, when I wrote 3,000 words, I had to concentrate on it for at least two and a half hours, during which I also had to read a lot of information.
Materials, after all, when writing history, you cannot just write wherever your mind comes to mind. There is no need to master some common sense knowledge of history and conduct research and verify some materials.
So if I update a lot more now than before, it means that my current workload in a day is much greater than the total workload of going to work and going home to code at night. Doesn’t my physical condition make it worse? It’s actually better now than before.
There should be more, and every once in a while there will be an additional chapter with the number of words. Guan Guan is not lazy, he has been working very hard, please understand.
