Chapter 1001: The Stick

According to the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, once the drums are gathered, it means that the commander is going to start issuing combat orders, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately becomes solemn, and even the people who love to joke are not daring to relax at this moment.

Yang Feng's sharp gaze swept around everyone before he said slowly: "I think you already know that this time, this time, on the orders of His Majesty, this duke gathered a large army and prepared to go to the Luoyang area to annihilate those rogues who plagued the people in one fell swoop. Ladies and gentlemen, the achievement is in the present day, I wonder if you are willing to accomplish this feat with my father? ”

All the generals stood up and said in unison: "The last general is willing to follow the prince to the death!" ”

"Good!"

Yang Feng waved his hand, and waited until the generals sat down again before he said, "Since you are all willing to follow Bengong to fight on the battlefield, then now Bengong will start to order." ”

After that, Yang Feng took out a booklet from his pocket, opened it and began to read: "The guerrilla general on the East Jinling Road wakes up the horse!" ”

Gou Xingma immediately stood up and gave a military salute to Yang Feng, and said loudly: "The last general!" ”

"Yan Di, the guerrilla general of Jinling West Road!"

"The last general!"

"South Road Guerrilla General Guanghai!"

"The last general!"

"North Road Guerrilla General He Sheng!"

"Mo will be!"

Xu Li, deputy commander of the sixth battalion...... Cui Yang, deputy commander of the seventh battalion......"

Until the end, a person's name spit out of Yang Feng's mouth.

"Jiang Ningwei commands Li Zheng!"

"The last general!" Li Zheng, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stood up at this time and answered loudly.

Yang Feng looked at the generals who were neatly lined up in two rows, and nodded: "Hmm...... Good...... Everyone is here, now sit down. ”

After everyone was seated, Yang Feng continued: "Originally, His Majesty asked all the personnel of our army to go on this expedition, but due to the shortage of salaries, grain and grass in the imperial court, after consultation, His Majesty agreed to reduce the number of people on the expedition, and the number of people on this expedition was tentatively set at 20,000.

Among them, there were three battalions of infantry, one battalion of cavalry, and a battalion of baggage, with a total of 23,000 men. ”

"The men and horses of this expedition and the numbers are: Gou Xingma's sixth battalion, Yan Di's seventh battalion, Guanghai's eighth battalion, Cao Yingyu's cavalry battalion, and Zhou Shi's baggage battalion, these battalions and their subordinate officers and non-commissioned officers all went to the expedition, and the rest of the people did not participate in this expedition as left behind."

Hearing this, many generals had different expressions, some were unwilling, some were distressed, and some were secretly relieved.

Yang Feng ignored these people, but continued: "As the saying goes, the so-called soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved. A few days ago, the Japanese government ordered Jiang Ningwei to prepare the grain and straw needed for the army to go out within three days, I don't know if Jiang Ningwei is ready? ”

Hearing this, almost all the generals' eyes looked at Li Zheng, who was sitting on the right.

Li Zheng, who became the target of everyone's attention at once, sank in his heart, gritted his teeth and stood up, and arched his hand towards Yang Feng and said: "Grandpa Guo, please rest assured, the last general will definitely prepare all the grain and straw before the army sets out, if you can't complete the task, the last general is willing to be dealt with by military law!" ”

There was nothing wrong with this sentence at first glance, but Yang Feng, who had already known it in his heart, was not fooled by Li Zheng's words, but continued to ask: "What about now, has the grain been raised?" If not, how much has been raised now? ”

"This ......"

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Li Zheng's forehead, and he was still lucky, thinking that Yang Feng must not be very clear about Jiang Ningwei's situation when he first came, and according to the regulations, he should go to the barracks to inspect, as long as the grain and grass purchased this evening are ready, he can fool this matter over.

It's just that he didn't expect that Yang Feng had just been promoted, and he didn't count the weapons and didn't go to the sergeant, but he was the first to ask him about the grain and grass, which really killed him.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted a little, as the old saying goes, you can't do everything. Why can't I suppress the greed in my heart, and insist on pulling away all the grain in the granary and selling it, even if I left a batch of emergency food at that time, it would not have happened today's dilemma.

"Why, Lord Li, as the commander of Jiang Ningwei, doesn't he even know how much heavy grain and grass he has raised?" Yang Feng's eerie voice came down from the lobby.

"Let's ......"

Holding back the wild beating in his heart, Li Zheng gritted his teeth and stood up and bowed down and said: "So that Grandpa Guo can know that due to the heavy rain yesterday, the transportation of grain and grass is relatively slow, but the last general has already arranged manpower to speed up the transportation, and before dark today at the latest, the last general will definitely finish raising the grain and grass." ”

Yang Feng's face suddenly turned cold: "Oh...... So, you haven't finished raising your grain in the past three days? ”

"Yes...... Yes. ”

Li Zheng...... My father asks you, have you received the edict written by my father? ”

"Roger."

"How many days does the edict ask you to complete the work of raising grain and grass!"

"Three...... Three days. ”

"Are you done?"

"Nope."

"Good...... You also know that the relationship is not finished. ”

Yang Feng sneered, "Li Zheng, you are also an old man in the army, you should know what the consequences should be if you fail to complete the military order within the time limit?" ”

Li Zhengyi gritted his teeth and knelt down with a puff and said in a trembling voice: "The last general failed to complete the military order, and he is willing to accept the punishment!"

Yang Feng asked, "Where is Sima in the army?" ”

"Humble duty!" A young Sima stepped forward.

Yang Feng asked, "The army is about to set out, what should the quartermaster be guilty of failing to raise the required grain and grass as scheduled?" ”

Sima said coldly: "According to the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty, if the quartermaster fails to raise the grain and grass needed for the army to go on schedule and causes huge losses, he should be beheaded according to the law!" ”

As soon as he heard this, even the eyelids of the generals next to him jumped, and Li Zheng was even more frightened to the point that his legs were weak.

But then the Sima said: "But since Commander Li did not inflict heavy losses on the army, he only needs to fight twenty military sticks." ”

"Good!"

Yang Feng said with a cold expression: "Someone! ”

"Here!" Immediately, two housekeepers walked in through the door.

"Drag Li Zheng down and beat the military stick for twenty!"

"Yes!"

The two housekeepers stepped forward, grabbed Li Zheng's arm, left and right, and dragged him down, and soon a crackling sound accompanied by screams came in from outside.

Although the generals were expressionless, they were making eye contact with each other. This Li Zheng must not know where to provoke Grandpa Guo, otherwise Grandpa Guo would never have attacked him as soon as he came.

A quarter of an hour later, two housekeepers dragged Li Zheng, whose buttocks were beaten to the brim, in and threw him in the lobby.

At this time, Li Zheng was beaten so that his buttocks bloomed, his lower body was covered with blood, and he knelt on the ground motionless.
