"Lord Chincha, this matter is all caused by me, and it has nothing to do with my comrades, I proposed it! I'm the one who takes the lead! If you want to chastise, punish me alone. ”
After hearing Wang He's answer, Zhao Junchen sneered and said: "Break into the handsome tent, draw a knife at each other, commit a crime, and offend the boss...... Can you afford such a serious crime, just a mere flag officer? ”
After speaking, Zhao Junchen turned his head to Zhou Bo and asked, "Lord Zhou, according to military regulations and military law, how should such a crime be punished?" ”
Zhou Bo glanced at Wang He, but his face was unbearable, and said: "The crime of breaking into the handsome tent must be punished with at least twenty military sticks...... If you take into account that they have drawn their swords against each other, they will be guilty of one more degree, at least fifty military sticks, and at worst, they will be killed! ”
Zhao Junchen nodded lightly, turned his gaze to Wang He again, his eyes were full of severity and oppression, and said slowly: "Fifty military sticks, cut and decide...... According to Ben Qincha, these two punishments are almost the same, once the punishment is fifty military sticks, the punished person will be crippled for life even if he does not die, it is better to be killed! Your name is Wang He, right? Do you really want to bear all the blame for all your sins? ”
Under everyone's attention, Wang He nodded heavily and said loudly: "As long as Lord Qincha can pardon the crimes of these colleagues, it is not a pity to die alone!" ”
As he spoke, Wang He's expression was full of resoluteness, and his tone was full of righteousness, and he looked like he was willing to serve his comrades bravely.
After seeing Wang He's statement, all the military attaches of Qi Bin's new army were shocked and moved, no one expected that Wang He would take all the responsibility on himself, and even spared no effort to pardon everyone's crimes.
When Qi Bin formed the new army, most of the soldiers were miners from Yiwu, and they did not recruit outlaws and soldiers from Shaanxi and Gansu at all, just to prevent this new army from being contaminated with all kinds of vices of the border army.
They also understand what a serious crime this reckless storming of the tent is, but after experiencing the death of Qi Bin in battle and the detention of high-level military attachés, Qi Bin's new army has been hit hard in a row, and it seems that it is about to fall apart.
However, after being surrounded by the guards outside the tent, the impulsiveness of most of the people gradually cooled, and they already regretted it, and then they were taken away by the guards and taken into the tent, and saw Zhao Junchen, whose prestige was rising day by day, the vast majority of people were even more frightened, and they didn't even dare to speak, and they also needed Wang He to take the position on behalf of everyone, and in the end, it was Wang He's arguments that saved Qi Bin's new army.
Now, Zhao Junchen suddenly wanted to investigate their crime of breaking into the tent, and his tone and expression were so serious, which made these low-level military attaches of Qi Bin's new army feel extremely frightened, and they only felt that they were finished this time.
At this time, it was Wang He who suddenly stepped forward and said that he would bear all the punishment on behalf of everyone, even at the cost of death!
Under such circumstances, it is conceivable how moved these military attaches of the new army with simple personalities in the tent will be, and how much they will admire Wang He's righteousness.
As a result, Wang He's prestige in the hearts of these new military attachés reached its peak in an instant, even higher than when Qi Bin was alive.
In addition to being moved and admired, these military attachés of the new army were also enthusiastic again, and finally had the courage to speak, and they pleaded with Zhao Junchen for Wang He.
"Lord Qincha, this time it is the decision of all of us to break into the tent, and it is not just the Wang He brothers who take the lead!"
"If you want to be punished, punish all of us, all of us will share the burden, don't kill Brother Wang He!"
"Lord Qincha, what Brother Wang He has done is all for the sake of the new army, you can't harm him!"
"Kincha-sama......"
Hearing the pleas of the military attachés, Zhao Junchen's expression became more serious, and he said coldly: "Do you think that military law is child's play? How can there be a common share of crimes? If this matter is borne by Li He alone, then Li He alone will be sentenced or severely fined fifty military sticks! If it were to be shared by all of you, it would be a summary death or a heavy penalty of fifty sticks! You have to think clearly, is the crime of breaking into the tent being borne by Li He alone? It's up to all of you! ”
As Zhao Junchen's words fell, the low-level military attachés who were still excited just now were silenced.
I thought that there would be no punishment for crimes, but I didn't expect that the final result would be that everyone was guilty of the same crime.
Then, some people didn't dare to say anything more, while others showed a resolute attitude, as if they were planning to live and die with Li He.
At this time, Li He spoke again and said loudly: "Lord Qincha, the incident of storming the barracks was indeed caused by a lowly person, and it was also led by a lowly person, and the statements of all the comrades were just for the righteousness of the army, and it really had nothing to do with them!" This matter is naturally borne by Li He alone! ”
After speaking, Li He turned his head and persuaded the military attachés: "All comrades, all brothers, General Qi Bin died in battle, and all the high-level generals also offended Shangfeng, now is the time when our army is in turmoil, if you also have to be punished and die, our army will be finished...... So, don't say any more, just take care of this matter on my own! If my death alone can be exchanged for the continuation of our army, then why should I die? ”
Looking at Li He's generous and righteous expression, and listening to Li He's touching statement, all the officers didn't say anything more after all, but everyone's eyes were red.
At this time, Zhao Junchen suddenly asked, "Let me ask you, how many people are in your Qi Bin New Army?" How many people are in the horse team? How many muskets? How many artillery pieces? ”
After Li He was stunned for a moment, he replied: "If you return to Lord Qincha, our army has a full strength of 5,000 people, including 1,330 horses, 1,700 war horses, and 2,100 muskets, of which there are 930 powerful bird guns, 130 artillery pieces, and 53 tiger squat cannons. ”
Zhao Junchen asked again: "If there is another Mongolian Tatar cavalry attack, how do you plan to deal with it?" ”
Li He didn't hesitate much, and replied directly: "With the chariot battalion and pikemen in the front, the musketeers will attack first, the artillery will fire in unison in the rear, and the cavalry will wait for the opportunity to move." ”
Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Li He many questions, ranging from drills to tactics.
And Li He also answered Zhao Junchen's inquiries quickly and accurately.
After the Q&A was over, Zhao Junchen pondered again for a moment, and then suddenly glanced at Zhou Bo next to him.
Zhou Bo also admired Li He's affection and righteousness, and now that he saw Zhao Junchen suddenly glaring at him, where did he not know Zhao Junchen's hints?
So, Zhou Bo suddenly spoke: "Lord Qincha, Li He's crime of breaking into the barracks is naturally unforgivable, but according to the lower officials, he is just a general flag officer, and he can't be punished by Lord Qincha himself...... How about letting him return to Qi Bin's new army law? ”
Zhao Junchen still had a solemn expression, nodded and said, "In this case, Ben Qincha has already decided...... Li Hechong's crime of breaking into the tent is unforgivable, and he should be severely fined fifty military sticks, and return to the camp of Qi Bin's new army to receive the punishment on his own! ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen's decision, all the military attaches in the tent were stunned for a moment, and then cheered in unison again.
Back to Qi Bin's new army to receive the punishment, the people who carry out the military stick are their own people, so it is naturally light or heavy.
If someone else executes fifty military sticks, it will naturally be immortal and crippled, but if you execute the military sticks by your own people, maybe it will be two more red marks on your buttocks!
They didn't expect that Zhao Junchen would let Li He go after all.
*
Seeing that the military attaches of the new army were all sincerely embracing Li He to leave the tent, obviously already regarding Li He as their leader in their hearts, a smile flashed on Zhao Junchen's face.
From the beginning, this was just a play directed and acted by Zhao Junchen, and the goal was to promote Li He to the top!
In fact, Li He's name is forged, his real name is Zhao He, and he is the side of the Zhao family of the Yangzhou family, if it is according to the genealogy of the Zhao family, Zhao Junchen will also call him "cousin".
At the beginning, after learning the news that Qi Bin was going to Yiwu to recruit troops, Zhao Junchen moved to take the opportunity to infiltrate Qi Bin's new army, so he arranged for Chen Zhirong to select a group of people to disguise themselves as Yiwu miners to join Qi Bin's new army.
After these people joined Qi Bin's new army, they had to perform best with Zhao He, not only did they quickly understand the various drills and tactics of Qi Bin's new army, but also made good connections and contacts in Qi Bin's new army, and they were soon valued by Qi Bin, and were promoted by Qi Bin to become the chief flag officer in the new army - if it weren't for Qi Bin's accidental discovery that he was privately engaging in tandem and accepting Zhao Junchen's funding, maybe he would have been promoted to the military position of deputy Baihu now.
It was precisely because of the exposure of Zhao He's identity that Qi Bin and Zhao Junchen formally broke up, which can be described as a serious mistake, but considering Zhao He's various performances after joining Qi Bin's new army, on the whole it is still remarkable-he is from the young master of the landlord's family, but he can endure the boredom and hardships of military life, and he can also master the training tactics of Qi Bin's new army in a short period of time, and soon stand out in the new army, and considering that he is a member of the Zhao family after all, such a performance is especially rare.
In the end, after Zhao He personally implemented Qi Bin's plan to "die in battle", Zhao Junchen forgave him for his previous mistakes, and also planned to make him the core figure who controlled Qi Bin's new army, so today's performance happened.
Since deciding on Qi Bin's plan to "die in battle", Zhao Junchen has already anticipated today's situation, when Qi Bin "died in battle", whether it is the behavior of the soldiers of the New Army to vent their anger and kill prisoners, or the fact that all the high-level military attaches of the New Army were detained and dismissed by Fang Zhenshan, or the reckless practice of the low-level military attachés of the New Army breaking into the tent of the commander, Zhao Junchen is secretly promoting!
And after today's drama, all the high-level military attaches of more than 1,000 households in Qi Bin's new army were pardoned by Zhao Junchen because of Zhao He's arguments, and they owe Zhao He's kindness.
Let Li He return to Qi Bin's new army to receive the punishment, but also to publicize Li He's today's deeds to everyone in Qi Bin's new army.
In this way, Zhao He not only has the attention and promotion of the upper-level generals, but also the support and love of the middle- and lower-level military attachés, coupled with the secret support of Zhao Junchen, he must soon become the core figure of Qi Bin's new army, and it is only a matter of time before he replaces Qi Bin as the commander of the new army.
Zhao Junchen's prestige in the army is now increasing day by day, but this prestige is mainly concentrated in the new army of soldiers, Guyuan military town, and the reinforcements of the forbidden army, and it still has little influence on Qi Bin's new army.
And with today's big drama, Qi Bin's new army, which is extremely powerful and has strict military discipline, will soon fall under the control of Zhao Junchen.
In fact, with the death of Qi Bin in battle, Qi Bin's new army is already leaderless, Zhao Junchen can find an opportunity to try to eliminate all the high-level military attaches of Qi Bin's new army, and then forcibly promote Zhao He to take the position and become the new commander of Qi Bin's new army.
First of all, Zhao He was just a general flag officer before, although he had a wide network and excellent performance, but after all, he was less qualified and had no meritorious service, and forcibly pushing him to the top would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the officers and men in the army, not only Zhao He's position as commander could not be secured, but it was also not conducive to Zhao Junchen's effective control of this army.
Secondly, if Zhao Junchen forcibly pushes Zhao He to ascend to the throne, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention, and then not only will Zhao Junchen's ambition to meddle in military power be exposed, but Zhao He himself will also be suppressed by Zhao Junchen's hostile factions and even Emperor Deqing, even if he is in power for a while, he will not be able to last long.
Finally, and the most important reason - the reason why Zhao Junchen attaches importance to Qi Bin's new army is because this army completely imitates the Qi family army of the year, and the tactics, drills, and systems of this army can even be called a modern army, which is essentially different from ordinary troops, and the core of a modern army is those military attaches at all levels who can accurately execute military orders and are familiar with the formation of tactics. This army is no longer the army that Zhao Junchen needs, but it is more than worth the loss.
It is precisely with these things in mind that Zhao Junchen has spent a lot of thought for today's scene.
*
Thinking that he would soon be able to control Qi Bin's new army, Zhao Junchen was naturally in a good mood, and when he continued to talk to Zhou Bo, there was always a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
After the two talked about some military merits and silver awards, Zhou Bo couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhao Junchen's performance: "It seems that Lord Qincha admires that Li He very much?" ”
Previously, Zhou Bo would open his mouth to intercede for Li He because of Zhao Junchen's hints, if Zhao Junchen deliberately covered it up at this time, it would appear that he was weak-hearted, so Zhao Junchen nodded calmly and said: "You have also seen it, this Li He is very responsible and courageous, Qi Bin's new army has such a talent, not only can it inherit Qi Bin's own legacy, but also don't worry about Qi Bin's new army falling because of Qi Bin's death." ”
Seeing Zhao Junchen's calm performance, Zhou Bo didn't think much about it, just nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a rare officer, although he is only a general flag officer now, he must have a bright future in the future." ”
Zhao Junchen changed his words and said: "However, with Qi Bin's unfortunate death, it is no longer appropriate for this army to be called Qi Bin's new army...... In fact, it was already unruly to call this new army Qi Bin, and it was easy to cause criticism from the imperial court! ”
In fact, the reason why the new army formed by Qi Bin is called the "Qi Bin New Army" was led by Zhao Junchen at the beginning, and at that time Zhao Junchen had not yet made up his mind to let Qi Bin "die in battle", so he wanted to use such a title to let the imperial court squeeze out and suppress this new army, after all, the fate of the Yang family army and the Qi family army in history was not very good, because the personal imprint of these armies was too taboo.
But now, this army is about to fall into the hands of Zhao Junchen, so naturally this title cannot be continued, and changing the title will also help Zhao Junchen further eliminate Qi Bin's influence in this army.
On the other side, Zhou Bo also nodded in agreement: "The title of Qi Bin's new army is indeed a little inappropriate...... So, Lord Chincha, what do you think is the better name of this army? ”
After Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment, he said: "This army was built by Qi Bin, the goal is to resist the invasion of the Tartars and protect the people of the imperial court, which is completely different from the nature of the private army under the command of the border military attachés. ”
Zhou Bo had no objection, nodded and said: "In this case, from now on, there will be no Qi Bin New Army, only the Patriotic Army!" ”
In fact, Zhao Junchen renamed Qi Bin's new army as the "Patriotic Army", but it has another meaning.
As the so-called "defending the homeland and defending the country", the premise of "defending the country" is "protecting the homeland"! Zhao He is the future commander of this army, he and Zhao Junchen are both from the Zhao family, and Zhao Junchen is the future guarantee of the Zhao family, I believe Zhao He will definitely understand the true meaning of this name.
Just when Zhao Junchen and Zhou Bo decided on the title of the Patriotic Army, there was suddenly a commotion outside the tent.
This time, the noise and chaos were far greater than when the low-level officers broke into the camp just now, and many people could be faintly heard shouting loudly in Mongolian.
Then, a guard reported with a worried expression that it was the commander of the Mongolian right wing, Sigmu, who had arrived.
When Qi Gemu came to see Zhao Junchen, he naturally raised his teacher for the reason that the Mongolian right wing was accidentally injured by the Ming army on the battlefield.
