The soldiers agreed and beat the four restrained officers severely in front of the ring. Yu, Bian, Han, and Zhang were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they kept looking back, fully expecting the officers of the Flying Dragon Imperial Guard.
Looking at their past friendship, they shared the same hatred with themselves and took the initiative to make loud noises and put pressure on Feng Changqing. However, the popularity of these four guys was not very good. Although they were taken down a bit suddenly today, they could
It was difficult for the flying dragon guards to express sympathy. Some of them actually had smiles on their faces, as if to say, 'Grandma, you guys are only here today!'
"Tell me, why did I wrong you for waiting? Why don't you tell everyone?" Seeing the four people delaying and refusing to speak, Feng Changqing smiled and continued to ask.
"Subordinate, subordinate..." Among the four people, Yu Lingyuan, the round-faced and fat man, was usually the most eloquent, but today he became a stammer. He stammered for a long time and could not say a complete sentence of self-defense.
He came out, blushing and hanging his head.
"Since you can't tell me, I'll tell you for you!" Feng Changqing blew out a cold air from his nostrils and gritted his teeth. "Feng was ordered to rectify the Feilong Forbidden Army. You think Feng was from a humble background?
,I feel dissatisfied, ,are you?"
"Sir..." Cold sweat immediately rolled down Yu Lingyuan's forehead. Knowing that none of the things his group was doing secretly had escaped his eyes, he screamed and fell to his knees with a plop.
Feng Changqing glanced at him with his eyelids and continued to question loudly, "Feng will eliminate the Feilong Imperial Guards and reorganize them. You will contact them secretly to incite dissatisfaction, right?"
"Feng appointed a general who had returned from hundreds of battles on the battlefield to be your superior. You feel you have been wronged, and you continue to obey your new superior, right?"
"Feng searched for talents for His Majesty and promoted a few people to be captains. You will feel like someone else is taking advantage of you and encourage that idiot Qi Heng to come forward and prepare to disgrace the new officers, right?"
"If Qi Heng wins today's competition, you will continue to contact more generals in the Forbidden Army to cause trouble until Feng is squeezed out, right?"
Every time he asked a question, he paused for a moment, waiting quietly for Yu Lingyuan, Bian Jian, Han Shicheng, and Zhang Mouren to defend themselves. However, these things were all bad intentions. The four current scum who were caught only had the guts to do it in secret, and did not have the guts to do anything to themselves.
What they were doing was laid out in the open. One by one, they knelt down and lowered their heads, not daring to say anything.
Qi Heng, the reckless man who had previously competed with Wang Xun, was already preparing to go out to be punished and ran around the White Horse Castle. When he walked to the door, he heard the changes behind him and turned back silently. At this moment, he saw Yu, Bian, Han, and Zhang.
The man knelt on the ground with his head hanging down. No matter how stupid he was, he understood that he was being used as a knife. He separated from the crowd, strode to the ring, knelt down straight and said: "Qi is so stupid, please punish me!"
"Do you still know that you are stupid?" Feng Changqing glanced at him, feeling a little ironic. "Joining the army knowingly, step forward and announce, according to what I just said, what crimes have they committed?"
"Nuo!" Wang Teng, who joined the army in the Ming Dynasty, stepped out of the line and announced loudly, "If you complain too much and make your general angry, you should be killed! If you don't obey the restraints, if you are more difficult to control, you should be killed! If you have a sharp tongue and sharp teeth, you will be killed.
.Deploy the sergeants and make them discord, and they should be executed. The general said that Yu, Bian, Han, and Zhang had committed eight capital crimes. They were punished for several crimes and their heads were hung on a high pole for seven days.
As a warning! However..."
"General, spare your life!" Before Ming Fa joined the army could finish his words, the round-faced fat man Yu Lingyuan screamed miserably.
"General, spare your life, we don't dare to do it anymore!" Han Shicheng and Zhang Mou also knew that they were in doom today, so they followed Yu Lingyuan, begging and kowtowing vigorously.
Only Bian Jianming was stubborn. Seeing that Feng Changqing was planning to kill himself as soon as he made a move, he immediately jumped up and shouted behind him, "You bastards, what did we say in the first place! The one named Feng has already taken the piss."
Come to us..."
Before he could finish his words, the Thirteenth Guardsman flew up and kicked him backwards. The surrounding soldiers dodged, and the remaining guards quickly stepped in, grabbed Bianjian's arm, and held him firmly.
He fell to the ground. When he was about to die, Bian Jianwu shouted loudly, "Come on, I don't believe he has the ability to kill everyone. He is there today..."
Thirteen opened his arms and opened his mouth again. At this time, the officer named Bian finally stopped. Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, and his body was still twisting, "I...
"
"Join the army clearly..." Feng Changqing's face turned livid, he raised his eyes and shouted sternly.
Wang Teng, who joined the army in the Ming Dynasty, glared at the officer surnamed Bian, with a helpless look on his face, as if to say, you are seeking death yourself, don't blame me. "Inciting trouble in public, verbally insulting the general, even though he has been taught a lesson, he has no intention of repenting."
.Beheaded! But......"
Before he could finish his words, officer Bian Jian raised his head again and shouted loudly, "My uncle is the general of the right prison gate. I will give way to you. My uncle is the general of the right prison gate. I will give way..." (Note)
1)
At this time, even Yu Lingyuan and other accomplices did not want to continue to be with him. They took the initiative to move their bodies and tried to kneel farther away from this person. Feng Changqing sighed and waved his hands gently downwards. Several knife and axe-hands
He rushed out of the door, dragged his sword and walked out.
"My uncle is the general of the right prison gate, and my uncle is the general of the right prison gate. Spare my life - ah!" The screams stopped, and after a few breaths, the knife and ax used a tray to hold a bloody human head.
Come up.
Feng Changqing glanced at the head coldly and ordered in a low voice, "Hang it on a high pole and show it to the public for three days as a warning. After three days, sew the head and body together and let his uncle take them away!"
"No!" The swordsman agreed and strode out holding the bloody head.
The officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army present were all veterans of hundreds of battles who had fought with swords. They had killed many people and did not care to see another head without a body. The other Feilong Imperial Guards and the newly recruited soldiers were not seen.
The bloody raw melons and eggs all had their faces turned pale with fear. Due to the strict military regulations, they closed their mouths tightly to prevent themselves from vomiting out bile on the spot.
"What do you guys have to say?" After dealing with the officer surnamed Bian, Feng Changqing turned his head again to the other people kneeling on the ground. Yu Shenhe, the fat little man with a round face, saw the opportunity quickly and heard that Feng Changqing was not prepared to take action.
They were all chopped off at once, and they immediately kowtowed heavily and said loudly: "We are stupid and were instigated by that guy Bian Jian, so we accidentally got into a big disaster. We don't dare to ask the general for forgiveness. I only hope that the general will forgive me."
Your Majesty, for the sake of me being a first-time offender, please give me a chance to reform!"
"Yes, yes, we were all provoked by that boy Bian Jian. We didn't mean to cause trouble!" Several other people also kowtowed and begged for mercy, putting all the blame on the dead man.
The soldiers of the Feilong Imperial Guard looked at these boneless guys, and most of their sympathy turned into contempt. According to everyone's basic impression, among the four evildoers, Yu, Bian, Han, and Zhang, Yu Lingyuan, the fat little guy with a round face, should be the one.
The other three are always under his orders. Especially Bian Jian, who was beheaded just now, is the most careless among them. With the support of his uncle who is a eunuch, he often acts as Yu Lingyuan's thug.
.The bad things he actually did proactively were not even one-third of what Yu Lingyuan did.
Feng Changqing had obviously expected this situation. He shook his head contemptuously and turned his attention to Wang Teng, who joined the army in Mingfa. The latter cleared his throat and said loudly: "According to military law, the three of them should be beheaded in public. However, General
When they entered the camp, they made an oath with a stone, saying that first-time offenders would only be punished with military sticks. Therefore, the three of them were punished for several crimes, and each of them should be punished with four hundred military sticks. In order to avoid hurting their bones and muscles, the execution could be divided into ten days
.”
The man named Bian killed himself! After listening to Wang Teng's words, all the soldiers understood why he looked at Bian Jian with helplessness just now. Feng Changqing was ordered to organize the army, and Le Shi emphasized military discipline.
Naturally, he would not let someone go easily just because he had a strong background. But the bottom line of the note on the stone was a way for the Feilong Imperial Guards to survive on purpose. He knew that the Imperial Guards officers were used to being loose, and they were suddenly under strict requirements.
, it is inevitable that some reckless people will try to challenge his authority. Therefore, a buffer was left for both parties to avoid killing too many people and making it difficult to explain to the court.
If the guy surnamed Bian today did not just mess around, but bowed his head and confessed like Yu Lingyuan and others, Feng Changqing probably used military sticks to stir up the undercurrent of those who were dissatisfied with the army, and then let them go.
Passed. However, the man named Bian first incited all the guards to cause trouble together, and then carried his uncle out from the right prison door to put pressure on Feng Changqing. He forcefully forced Feng Changqing and Mingfa to join the army and Wang Teng.
There was no room for maneuver, so I had to chop off his head!
"Hit! Forty sticks a day. Beat once every other day until the four hundred sticks are used up!" Just as they were sighing, Feng Changqing's order came to everyone's ears again.
"Thank you, sir!" "Thank you, sir, for not killing me!" Yu, Han, and Zhang San escaped from death. Without waiting for the executioners to come forward and pull them, they took the initiative to crawl out and walked out. Everyone was pinned down.
On the wooden bench where the execution was carried out, the voice of gratitude kept saying in the throat. "Thank you, sir, ah!" Thank you, sir, please be gentle, my mother!" "It hurts me to death, ah!"
This idiot deserved to die. As the sound of crackling military sticks came from the outside, the last sympathy of the Feilong guards for the deceased disappeared completely. They knew in their hearts that the imperial court was probably going to move the army this time.
It's true. If you want to continue to enjoy the job of Feilong Imperial Guard, you have to put away your previous casual and casual attitude and accept some training.
At this moment, there was only one man kneeling under the ring, Qi Heng. Feng Changqing glanced at him and sighed softly, "Join the army clearly..."
"My subordinate is here!" Wang Teng cupped his hands and responded in a low voice.
"Someone is extremely stupid and is deceived. According to military law, what crime should he be guilty of?"
"Hehe!" The new recruits and veterans snickered, looking at Qi Heng with eyes full of sympathy.
Wang Teng, who joined the army in Mingfa, also pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head, and replied loudly, "Commander Qi Heng was not serious during training. He was distracted during the competition and was knocked off the ring and lost. General, you have already punished him for running around the White Horse Castle."
Circle three times, and you will not be punished twice for one offense. As for him, is he stupid enough to serve as a swordsman for others? Report to the general, military regulations do not state that stupidity is a crime!"
"Hahahaha!" The soldiers couldn't help it anymore and laughed in unison. The oppressive atmosphere caused by Feng Changqing's killing to establish his authority was instantly gone.
"Can you hear me?" Feng Changqing walked to the stage, leaned down and asked.
"I heard you!" Qi Heng's face turned as red as a pig's liver. He stood up in embarrassment and clasped his fists to listen to the instruction.
"Then go run around. If you can't finish, don't come back for dinner!" Feng Changqing waved his hand and drove him out. Then he turned his attention to all the soldiers, "I know that you have never suffered this kind of crime. But during training
The more hardship you endure, the more chance you have to survive on the battlefield. The Feilong Imperial Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers and the face of the Tang Dynasty. If they can't even endure this little hardship, won't they make the barbarians from all over the world come to pay tribute?
Did you watch a joke from the Tang Dynasty?! As an extra meal tonight, each person will enjoy a jar of wine and half a pork leg. Get out of here, don’t let me see you panting like a bear with your tongue hanging out again tomorrow!"
"Thank you, General!"
"The general is mighty!"
A few foul words immediately brought the relationship between people on and off the ring very close. The soldiers who had been tired all day felt that General Feng was indeed one of their own, and slowly left with smiles and admiration on their faces. The people under the ring were almost the same.
After they were all gone, Feng Changqing suddenly turned his head and pointed at Wang Xun with a knife-like gaze, "You idiot, if someone provokes you, you just accept it. Do you think this is still the streets of Chang'an? You compete for the boss based on the thickness of your arms and heads.
, what is the use of military law? If someone asks me to compete in martial arts and wins one and a half moves, will I also give him the general's seal?"
"The lesson the general taught me is that I realized my mistake!" Having just witnessed how the other party used Bian Jian's head to establish his power, Wang Xun was so impressed by the old fox's methods that he bowed his head and responded in a low voice.
"Stupid!" Feng Changqing squeezed out a one-word comment through his teeth, "Nine out of ten guys who die on the battlefield died because of their own stupidity. I don't want to see you die without a complete body in the future. Then
I'll give you three days to think about how to be an officer. Three days later, I want you to take the second team of the 7th Left Brigade to the campus to be responsible for maintaining order at the recruitment site. If there is an accident at the campus due to your stupidity,
The chaos and military regulations are all carved in stone, and I can’t help you!"
After reprimanding him, no matter how dumbfounded Wang Xun was, he put his hands behind his back and walked away calmly, surrounded by thirteen guards.
Note 1: The gate shogun, a high-ranking eunuch, is responsible for maintaining the security of the inner palace. It suddenly occurred to me that Shin'emon in the TV series Ikkyu, if the Japanese system was based on the Tang Dynasty, this person would probably be missing from the list.
