The fire-headed soldiers in the auxiliary barracks were originally responsible for cooking, and they were usually very skilled at killing pigs and sheep. But at this time, they were walking across the battlefield with their decapitating knives, and started cutting off the heads of thieves on the ground.
These auxiliary barracks are also Sichuan soldiers. Because their abilities are slightly inferior, they were not selected into the combat barracks. They became auxiliary soldiers and their salary was only one yuan a day. They could only watch the battle just now, but they were also enthusiastic about it. Unfortunately, the fighting time was too short.
, it’s over before I can get enough of it.
At this time, the fire soldiers were holding the Jie Shou Dao, which was quite satisfying.
The heads of the thieves were chopped off one by one, and there were special soldiers who carried baskets on their backs, filled the baskets, and sent them back to queue up for registration.
After the head of the thief was chopped off, other auxiliary soldiers came to clean it up. There were people who were responsible for stripping off the armor, clothes, shoes, and money and other things that were carried on the headless corpse. Finally, a headless body was left.
Next, auxiliary soldiers came over, pulled them together, dug a big hole, and buried them collectively.
Everything is divided into tasks and planned in advance.
The clerks were busy recording the military merits of killing the enemy, the status of injuries and disabilities, as well as the battlefield seizures and battlefield damage. Each item must be recorded in time.
Zhang Shipeng and others also rushed to the village.
"Good fight!" Zhang Shipeng praised.
Ji Congxiao said, "Admiral's words sound like curses. We are the imperial camp, and the camp code is charge. To deal with such a group of thieves, we should fight well."
Chang Tai, the battalion officer of Xiaorui Battalion, said unhappily, "You guys are so quick to start. You can at least give us some soup even if you eat meat. We will run around with you, but in the end we didn't even catch a hair!"
Ji Congxiao laughed and said, "Lao Chang, we are fellow villagers who came from Jiangyin together. You worked hard to support me this time. Next time our charge battalion will support your Xiaorui battalion."
"Have you caught the Black Dragon King?"
"Being shot into a hedgehog, this guy saw that the situation was not good and wanted to run away from the back hill, but was blocked by the back sentry. The archers saw that this guy was riding a big horse and knew that he must be the leader, so they all shot at this guy, damn it
, I saw that horse. The big horse from the north is worth a lot of money, but it was lost in vain. I must let these guys pay attention next time. Such good horses are rare, but now they can only be divided and stewed.
Eaten the meat.”
Ji Shimei reminded her cousin, "There are many people in this village who were coerced. Did you not kill them randomly?"
"Don't worry, we are the king's masters, not thugs."
"Well, what about the money, food and property stolen by the thieves? They were all sealed and registered in a timely manner, and they were not kept secretly or shared, right?"
"We are brothers. We have the same grandfather. We grew up peeing in mud together. You still can't trust me? If anyone dares to mess around in my stormtrooper camp, I will cut off his hands."
He just finished speaking.
As a result, the camp supervisor came over and said that the military police found someone hiding trophies, and there were quite a lot of them.
Ji Congxiao was as angry as a cat that stepped on its tail. Everyone jumped up and roared, "Who, who the hell dares to ignore my orders, who dares to ignore the military regulations of the imperial camp decreed by the saint, who the hell dares to reach out randomly
, said, I will kill him now!"
The battalion supervisor just said calmly, "Batalion Commander, calm down. They have violated military regulations and have been arrested by the gendarmerie. From now on, they are under the control of the gendarmerie. We will review and deal with them as soon as possible."
, the battalion commander doesn’t have to worry about this.”
Ji Congxiao was furious and wanted to kill someone with a knife.
Ji Shimei shouted, "The state has national laws, the military has military regulations, and the imperial camp has supervisors and gendarmerie responsible for enforcing military laws. Although you are a camp officer, you have no right to interfere, let alone kill people randomly. Why don't you do it right?"
Retreat, you will be embarrassed."
Ji Cong's face flushed with filial piety, but he could only grit his teeth and retreat.
"You must investigate the prison camp thoroughly for me. Deal with it as you should. You must not be lenient. I have said it over and over again. There are still people who dare to ignore it. Damn it."
In contrast, Zhang Shipeng, Ji Shimei and others were much calmer. They had even expected that there would be various problems when they actually went to the battlefield, so they did not panic at all.
Everything just follows the rules.
How to deal with it.
The military regulations of the imperial camp are not empty words. Each military regulation has corresponding detailed treatment conditions.
Take the matter of secretly hiding trophies as an example. Depending on the amount of private possession, there will be different levels of punishment, ranging from fines with whips, to beatings with military sticks, to dismissal from the army, even imprisonment, to beheading.
It depends on how much you have hidden.
"Let the director of operations and camp lead the CCP Supervisory Army, the Military Justice Department, and the Military Police to jointly investigate and review. We must investigate and review clearly as soon as possible and come up with a result. I think it will be before dark, and then hold a meeting.
Rewards and punishments, let's do it together!" Zhu Shipeng said.
During the battle, the thieves killed some horses and mules. After the war, they also took out a lot of pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, etc. from the stronghold. These were all plundered and raised by the thieves, and now they are all confiscated.
The marching camp registers all the captured money, food and supplies. These are the military merits of the charging battalion. For example, if a war horse is captured, the sergeant can keep it for his own use, or he can turn it in. If he turns it in, the best war horse will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the inferior horse will be rewarded with ten taels of silver.
Or mules, etc. all have corresponding rewards.
All other materials seized must be returned to the public, but whoever seizes them will naturally be rewarded accordingly. For valuable items from armor to war horses, there are corresponding detailed standards.
However, as a battalion officer, Ji Congxiao had already announced that the stormtrooper battalion was a collective. Whether it was beheading or capturing, the reward would be shared directly among the collective. During the battle, beheading was not allowed, and merits were not recorded. However, while everyone had a share, they had to take the lead.
Yes, you can still get extra rewards for killing enemies.
Even if he didn't behead him on the battlefield to claim credit, he could still claim credit in the end. Not only did individual soldiers claim credit, but military credits at all levels also had to be rewarded. Everyone's credit, such as killing, vanguard, etc., must be rewarded.
Only the sergeants and officers in the same team can provide evidence.
Smoke rose from the village.
Stew meat and cook rice, the aroma is amazing.
Thousands of people gathered in the stockade. In fact, the few things captured were not much, but they could always be used as a tooth sacrifice.
"What to do with those people?"
"It depends on them individually. They can leave on their own, or they can choose to stay here, repair the stockade, and cultivate wasteland here. We can also give them some captured knives and guns and let them form a militia to defend themselves."
Zhu Wanhua proposed.
"If they are willing to stay, give them some of the captured grain." Zhang Shipeng said.
Afternoon.
The battlefield has basically been cleaned up. Zhang Shipeng and the others also talked with the representatives of the people who were rescued. Most of them expressed their willingness to stay. In these troubled times, where can they go?
At least there is still a foothold here, and Yuying promised to give them some food and weapons to help them repair the stockade. I heard that Yuying is now stationed in the Fenghuang Mountain area, and everyone thought that staying here might be a good choice.
As for the captured thieves, they were quickly interrogated and screened to identify who was an old thief, who was a new thief, who was being coerced, who had blood on his hands, who had eaten people, etc.
"Have you investigated the violation of military regulations over there?"
"It's all figured out,"
"Have you also sorted out the military exploits and captures in this battle?"
"It's all done."
Zhang Shipeng nodded, "Very good, then let's blow the trumpet to assemble, hold a meeting of rewards and punishments, and make a summary. This is the fine tradition of the imperial camp, and we must make good use of it."
Rewards should be rewarded in a timely manner and should not be delayed, and the same should be said for punishments, otherwise the effect will be weakened.
Beat the drum, blow the trumpet.
Gu Yin
Thousands of men and horses gathered in formation and divided into camps and outposts.
The rescued people in the village were watching with gratitude and curiosity. The captured bandits were still tied up, and they were all full of despair and fear.
Raise the flag.
Zhang Shipeng asked the commander-in-chief Shen Yuantai to read out the crimes of the bandits, and after counting the evidence of their crimes, announced their punishment. The Black Dragon King was dead, so his head was beheaded and hung in public, and then sent to the Phoenix Mountain Camp.
The remaining more than a hundred old thieves, including more than ten of their leaders, were all beheaded in public. The remaining old thieves also suffered heavy blood debts. However, the saint was always kind, so he was spared death and was assigned to the imperial camp as a slave and sent to the army in the rear for farming and labor reform.
Most of the remaining thousands of prisoners were just hungry refugees who had been coerced, so they were all released.
This decision is actually still controversial.
Zhang Shipeng thought it would be too easy for them to just release them. Ji Shimei thought they should cut off two toes before releasing them. However, Shen Yuantai, as the governor of the capital, believed that the current turmoil in Sichuan, the people were in trouble, and thieves were plundering and even preying on people everywhere.
The Western thieves massacred the city and killed people everywhere, and the former Ming army in Sichuan even often robbed the people. If the imperial camp did the same, it would not be a good thing.
The current situation in Sichuan is that if you kill thieves, you won't be able to kill them. After all, many thieves are actually just hungry people who gathered together to steal, or were threatened by thieves. As long as they are not old thieves and not burdened with blood debts, they should be pardoned. Only in this way can we
Slowly restoring the vitality of Shu also promotes the emperor's benevolence to the people of Shu.
Shen Yuantai also came from the south of the Yangtze River. He was the son of Shen Tingyang, the Minister of Household Affairs. He opposed mass killings.
He believed that only the chief culprit should be punished and the rest should be appeased as much as possible, and finally persuaded Zhang Shipeng and others.
They were released on the spot without even being whipped. Most people were willing to stay in Tangjiagou and form a village to reclaim wasteland together. They were also accepted by the people in Tangjiazhai. In troubled times, more people would be better.
Multiple self-protection powers.
"cut!"
A red ticket was thrown down.
More than a dozen old thieves were kidnapped and brought up by Wu Huada.
The executioners were not the imperial soldiers, but the newly-established militia members of Tangjiagou Village. They were awarded flags, swords, guns, bows and arrows by the imperial camp.
Now the first task of their militia team is to kill the dozen thieves who captured their village and committed serious crimes.
With hatred, these militiamen came to the stage with knives, roaring and slashing down the dozen criminals with their knives.
Then, the remaining more than a hundred old thieves with blood on their hands were pulled up. Their final decision was to spare their lives, but with twenty sticks, they would spank their butts to pieces, and then they would be sent back to Phoenix Mountain in chains, and finally they would be sent all the way.
When we return to Chongqing, there will be military camps there, and these people will work as slaves in the military camps there, cultivating the land for the imperial camps, and atone for their sins as slaves for the rest of their lives.
When it was finally announced that the remaining thieves had been released on the spot, those people were filled with surprises and endless gratitude. They all knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.
Zhang Shipeng said, "What you have to thank is not us, but His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. His Majesty is kind and does not want to commit more crimes, so he is especially forgiving. Otherwise, you will all be punished for being traitors."
"Bring the prisoners!"
In the stormtrooper camp, more than a dozen people who had been secretly seized, even molested women, and killed prisoners were brought up.
The military judge read out their crimes and the corresponding punishment.
One of the traitorous soldiers should be executed for his crime, but he had merit in killing the thief today. After atonement with his merits, he would be given the final punishment of twenty canes and expulsion from the army.
Ji Congxiao was so angry that he slapped the guy twice, "Go away, I won't accept a beast like you in the assault camp."
Although he wanted to save this person, in the end he gritted his teeth and didn't want to start this bad thing.
Originally, Shen Yuantai insisted on killing him, but Zhang Shipeng and others believed that this guy had killed two thieves today and was wounded again, so they spared his life.
But I can’t stay.
He was also deprived of all military rewards, his clothes, armor and swords were taken away, he was expelled from the army, and he was told to go home.
After twenty beatings, the man was limping and feeling very lonely. He felt extremely regretful, but there was no way he could change it.
"Wait a moment."
Ji Congxiao finally gave him two pieces of dragon silver and said, "Take care of yourself along the way!"
The other ten or so who violated military regulations were also punished in public. The amount of trophies hidden privately was not large, so they were mainly military sticks, and they were given a demerit.
After dealing with those who violated military regulations, they began to reward them.
The soldiers of the storm battalion were excited to receive the silver reward in public. Since it was the first time, in order to have a better motivational effect, the silver was distributed directly, and the silver was shining brightly.
There was a guy who rushed into the stronghold first. In the end, he even managed to kill the Black Dragon King. He also captured horses and armor. In the end, based on his merits, he got one hundred and twenty taels of silver. He received it as a bag of silver in front of everyone.
Out of time, he envied countless subordinates.
Of course, this is the only one who is lucky.
The others who received more silver rewards were only thirty or forty taels of silver. Most people only received one or two taels of silver.
Even the auxiliaries who contributed the least, most of them only received a reward of two coins.
In other camps, they only had a meal of horse meat soup, which was enough for their eyes.
The total reward for silver hair is not much, and it is not as much as what is captured.
But the eyes of the more than 5,000 soldiers in the camp were all red with excitement. These people were soldiers in the past, including white-pole soldiers, Sichuan soldiers, local soldiers, and rural soldiers from powerful local landlords.
There is a reward for winning, but when did you become so direct and say it right and cash it out immediately?
What's more, beating such a group of petty thieves actually resulted in such a huge reward?
That lucky bearded man got one hundred and twenty taels each. Damn it, this is enough to marry several wives and even buy a yard and twenty acres of land.
Zhang Shipeng stood up at the right time and said that the imperial camp has always rewarded meritorious deeds and will never withhold them, so as long as everyone dares to fight and can fight, the court and the saints will definitely live up to it!
Of course, if you do something wrong, you will be punished.
Anyone who dares to violate military regulations will not be spared lightly, and those who dare to escape from the battlefield will be killed without mercy!
The other battalion officers were so excited that they even asked impatiently who would fight next. The battalion officers began to directly argue about the main attack mission of the next battle.
Ji Congxiao, who had been awarded an additional level of meritorious service, was enjoying himself in a low-key manner and did not dare to compete again.
Several officers even directly proposed to divide their troops to attack, with 6,800 troops marching together. They looked down upon these thieves so much that one battalion was enough to sweep the surrounding areas.
Who wouldn't be jealous of this stormtrooper battalion enjoying so much success and receiving so many rewards?
Why did the Charge Battalion gain so many benefits and fight this battle so easily? Whoever replaced him would have the same result, and who would be worse than the other?
Seeing how active everyone is, especially the soldiers below who are gearing up with enthusiasm, Zhang Shipeng and others are also very satisfied. The fighting spirit of this soldier has been successfully ignited!
