() Sun Chengzong shouted angrily: "What's going on? What's the fuss about?"
Seeing Sun Chengzong's anger, no one dared to say anything. After a while, the cavalryman who had his gun taken away complained first, focusing on how he was loyal to his duties. Then the two people wanted to deny it, especially the big one.
, still wanted to resist, so they started making trouble.
Wei San and Li Laosi originally did not dare to speak when they saw the high-ranking officer in scarlet robe leading a group of generals at the rank of general. They did not dare to speak because of their official prestige.
, didn’t care about so much anymore, and rushed to talk about it.
Finally, Li Laosi said: "Wei San has a family and a mouth, so forget it without a reward. Now that he is eliminated, the court will not care about him. If he freezes to death in the wild, his family will only have orphans and widowers. If you want to punish him, punish him."
I'm fine, please let Wei San go."
When Wei San heard this, he thought, how can this be done? The incident happened because of him, and Li Laosi was just helping him. How could he let him carry it? He immediately started arguing with her.
Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei understood the reason after their explanation. Zhong Jinwei secretly admired these two loyal people. Such people are rare, whether now or in the future.
However, Sun Chengzong seemed indifferent and said with a sullen face: "This is a military camp. It's up to you. If you make a mistake, it's a mistake. If you dare to resist, come on."
Sun Chengzong's soldiers came out in response: "Here."
"Wei San is out of the barracks, Li Laosi has thirty military sticks, and he will be executed immediately, right here."
Sun Chengzong was going to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys. If he let them go, other infantrymen would find reasons to resist the elimination, and the action of eliminating the soldiers might be in vain. This was something Sun Chengzong could not accept.
At that moment, Sun Chengzong's soldiers rushed over like wolves and tigers, pushed Li Laosi to the ground, took off his pants and began to beat him with military sticks.
Zhong Jinwei liked this Li Laosi very much. He was afraid that he would be maimed and wanted to save him, but he could not go against Sun Chengzong. He also knew Sun Chengzong's intentions.
After thinking for a while, he said to Li Laosi, who was about to be executed: "I appreciate your loyalty, but I still need a follower at the moment. When the execution is completed, will you follow me?"
Li Laosi didn't reply after hearing this, so Wei San quickly gave him a wink.
After Li Laosi came to his senses, he quickly agreed.
When the executioners saw that he was going to be a follower of the supervisory army, they did not dare to beat him harshly. They resorted to some means, with loud thunder and small rain, which not only shocked the surrounding infantry, but also did not cause Li Laosi to be seriously injured.
After the execution, Wei San was about to be taken to the gathering point for the eliminated soldiers. Sun Chengzong said: "The imperial court will not ignore the eliminated soldiers." He looked at the group of generals behind him, then turned around and said with a little sarcasm.
: "Now make good use of your reward money."
Then he stopped talking and continued to inspect the next place.
Li Laosi, supported by a soldier of Sun Chengzong, lay on his horse and went to the prison camp to wait for Zhong Jinwei to deal with it.
In this incident, many infantrymen took advantage. While the cavalrymen were attracted by the incident, they secretly changed into a comfortable position to relieve their fatigue.
The generals who followed behind were very happy at first. It would be best if there were troublemakers everywhere, and it would be best if they could not go on. However, they did not expect to be solved by Sun Chengzong in just a few words.
Then I was very upset, why didn't I think about letting the people under my command make more troubles? It would be better if everyone started making troubles, but the stupid ones just thought about how to harm others.
Zhong Jinwei naturally didn't know what they were thinking. He immediately caught up with Sun Chengzong, got closer and asked softly: "Master Sun, why didn't you tell them the resettlement measures we had discussed just now?"
Sun Chengzong looked at him, then looked back at the group of generals. He was a little far away, and then he lowered his voice and replied: "If I had told you, those soldiers would have been eliminated voluntarily. I have no soldiers, how can I fight against the Jianlu?"
"How is that possible?" Zhong Jinwei was a little puzzled. The relocation salary was not high.
"Don't forget the group of moths at the back who drink the soldiers' blood. The soldiers are under their control. As long as they are not servants, they are cannon fodder. Just to earn military pay for them, whether they have enough to eat or not is a problem." Sun Chengzong explained.
Then, he sighed softly and said: "If your policy of military reform is implemented in the future, I am afraid that it will also be strongly resisted by this group of people."
Zhong Jinwei was silent after hearing this. How could such a Ming Dynasty army defeat Jianlu! As long as the servants were eliminated, no matter how many people they had, they would be useless in front of Jianlu.
At the moment, Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei were not in a good mood, and they patrolled on horseback in silence.
Slowly, fewer and fewer soldiers were still standing in the queue. Suddenly, the horn sounded again, and the soldiers who were still standing collapsed to the ground. Finally, the number of people who had been eliminated was enough.
.
Some of the soldiers who were still being escorted returned to the military camp, but the group of people close to the assembly point were forcibly escorted into the assembly point.
After hearing the horn sound, Sun Chengzong asked the generals behind him to go back to their respective camps to sort out the remaining stalls. He and Zhong Jinwei took their own soldiers and rushed to the gathering point of the troops.
Seeing Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei approaching, Lu Xiangsheng greeted them and reported: "My soldiers and supervisors have eliminated a total of 274,312 people."
After successfully completing this mission of eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, several people felt better, and they started to inspect the gathering point for the elimination of soldiers while talking.
This gathering point for the defeated soldiers was actually an outdoor area, with people from Daming Mansion forming a large circle. Those who came in were no longer divided into the previous unit formations, but were broken up into a circle and lit charcoal to keep warm. So now Sun Chengzong
What Zhong Jinwei can see is that there are countless small circles in a big circle.
These eliminated soldiers were all dejected, wondering what their fate would be next.
Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei inspected the center of the large circle and stopped. Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei looked at each other, and then Sun Chengzong said to Zhong Jinwei: "You are the supervisor, and you represent the emperor. It is up to you to announce the resettlement measures."
Seeing what Sun Chengzong said, Zhong Jinwei knew that he must have done the job, so he did not refuse. He cleared his throat and shouted: "Brothers who have been eliminated, I am Uncle Zhongxing, here from the Supervisory Army. I am announcing on behalf of the Emperor."
Measures to accommodate you."
Sun Chengzong's soldiers roared together, spreading Zhong Jinwei's message far away.
After hearing this, all the soldiers raised their heads and looked towards the center of the circle.
"The emperor cares about you very much, and it is not easy for you to know that. Therefore, if you want to go home, you can go home. Each person will be given three coins of silver and a bushel of coarse grains."
When the soldiers heard this, they all thought that their ears had heard it wrong. This was equivalent to doing hard labor and they had to bring their own dry food. There would also be travel expenses back there.
There was a buzzing sound all of a sudden in the whole gathering place. Zhong Jinwei looked at their reactions and knew that they didn't believe it, so he shouted again: "Yes, you heard it right. If you want to go home, we will give you travel expenses."
, so that you can go home safely."
Sun Chengzong saw that Zhong Jinwei seemed to have finished speaking, so he added: "I hope you can go home smoothly for the New Year."
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he was stunned for a moment. It turned out that it was the Chinese New Year, and Zhong Jinwei didn't remember this at all.
After Sun Chengzong's words were conveyed, the buzzing sound turned into a boiling sound. Finally, all the soldiers knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the capital: "Long live your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." They could only do this.
Use these pious words to express your gratitude.
"Everyone eats first. After eating, those who want to go home will start queuing up." Zhong Jinwei waited until the soldiers were almost excited and then said.
After announcing the disposal measures, he smiled and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Jiutai, I felt hungry just as I was talking about eating. Do you have anything to eat here?"
Sun Chengzong also laughed and wanted to eat Lu Xiangsheng's food together, so they all stayed at the gathering place to eat together, so as to facilitate the supervision of the implementation of the resettlement measures in the afternoon.
At lunchtime, these soldiers put aside their worries and ate vigorously. While eating, they chatted and congratulated each other. They talked about the emperor's good fortune and their own luck.
Some of the soldiers ate quickly and formed a long queue under the command of the Daming Mansion soldiers. Those who followed saw someone waiting in line first and were afraid that when it was their turn they would have finished paying their travel expenses, so they ate in two bites and followed.
Already lined up.
There are also some people who did not queue up and were still eating.
As soon as the soldiers lined up, they started to pay their travel expenses. There were so many people, and if they didn't hurry up, they might not be able to finish it.
Fortunately, there were enough people and there were many queues. Those who received the travel expenses left the gathering place with great gratitude and walked on the way home or to other places.
Wei San was one of them. He originally wanted to say goodbye to Li Laosi, but because he didn't know where Li Laosi was now and didn't dare to find the supervisor, he had to keep this feeling in his heart and returned to Zhangjiakou.
Of course those who had families went home. Some people who had no homes saw that there were travel expenses to be collected, so they went to collect the travel expenses, just with the idea of taking it and then talking about it. If you have food and flowers, there is no way in the world to go.
Of course, there are still some who just stay where they are, a little hesitant and don’t know where to go. These people are basically from Gyeonggi, and they don’t have the courage of those who are homeless and have to pay tolls. They are just waiting for an unknown future.
