Chapter 449: Fear (II)

The military law Cao really died, and the 24 officers of the military law who were similar to the military police and more than 100 generals were also beheaded, and it was the new military law Cao He Yi who personally supervised the beheading.

Mei Kai, Su Lie, and all the generals and colonels were demoted, but Su Lie became a marquis with 5,000 heavy infantry, and Mei Kai was a marquis with the command of the bow and crossbow of the whole army.

If the military law Cao and many officers who are responsible for maintaining military discipline do not die, and the generals and colonels who are demoted but still take the headquarters with them will feel that it is just a joke from their own masters, but the military law Cao and all 24 people are beheaded with a disgraced face under the gaze of the whole army, it means that their own masters are not joking, and being demoted and bringing the headquarters is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Zhou Wen looked very calm on the surface when he carried out Lu Zhe's orders, but when he walked, he was a little floating, and when he was standing, the calves and knees of his legs trembled uncontrollably.

When He Yi led a group of newly arrived military law Cao's subordinate officers to start the execution, Zhou Wen had been secretly observing the demoted generals and colonels out of the corner of his eye, and secretly ordered the 30,000 troops he brought over to maintain the highest vigilance.

If the situation allows, Zhou Wen really wants to say with tears in his eyes, "God, is there such a soldier?" What makes my lord think that these people will obey their orders, what if there is a mutiny when the war is imminent! And so on, or even more ugly to hear and scold Lu Zhe for doing a foolish thing.

Cut, really chopped, dozens of ghost head knives "slashed" at once, twenty-four heads fell to the ground, and there were at least 100,000 people at the scene of execution, but the silence made Zhou Wen feel abnormal and wanted to sit directly on the ground with a butt.

It's so quiet, it's frighteningly quiet. It's almost maddeningly quiet......

He Yi ordered people to clean up the bodies of the beheaded, looked at Mei Kai, Su Lie and other demoted generals who were also extremely quiet, and then took out Lu Zhe's military order and read it in front of the whole army.

Under the succession pass, the soldiers present all understood the military orders from their own masters, and understood that Zhou Wen was the new commander-in-chief, Xu Zhi was the deputy general, and He Yi was the military law. They remained quiet after listening, but they all looked at Zhou Wen.

When Zhou Wen was under great pressure, and the fast-beating heart almost jumped out of his throat, He Yi actually took out another document that Zhou Wen didn't know, announcing what kind of military merits the three armies had obtained by winning the first rank, and specially named the names of several warriors who had won more than fifty first ranks. It is stated that after this battle, he will be entertained by Lu Zhe's banquet.

Zhou Wen didn't know what mood he was in, but Mei Kai smiled very cheerfully.

"It's worthy of being the commander of his own family, I know what the soldiers think." Mei Kai is sighing, and many officers who have been demoted are sighing.

The generals of Lu Zhe's army do not have a private army, and all the soldiers are loyal to Lu Zhe, whether it is from food, salary, or the indoctrination of the military school intentionally or unintentionally, the soldiers are actually more concerned about whether the battle is done right or wrong, and the military merit is counted correctly. What kind of punishment do you get for doing something wrong?

It was those officers who were beheaded who usually killed non-commissioned officers who violated military law, and it was those officers who were punished, and the rewards that the non-commissioned officers should receive would not be less at all, and the mentality of loyalty to Lu Zhe remained unchanged under the premise of many interests. So what else do the soldiers have to worry about?

originally did not intend to disobey the military order, in fact, even if he wanted to disobey the military order, no soldier would obey it, Mei Kai was very resigned to the fate of the first to the new general Zhou Wenxing chest salute, and then a group of generals and colonels who reacted. A huge cry of "the Lord for ten thousand years" and "see the Lord General" broke out without any accidents.

It wasn't until the slogan was shouted that Zhou Wen got out of that trembling and scared to death state, and he couldn't control his expression, so much so that his expression stiffened in the sound of seeing. There was a hysterical roar in his heart: "There is such an officer, there is such an army, and under such a harsh reward and punishment, he unconditionally accepted the order!" ”

It's incredible, and it's not right...... It seems to be reasonable, but Zhou Wen is a first-hand witness, and he is also the one with the biggest fluctuations in love, and the momentary surprise and dumbness can be forgiven.

In the army, the officers of the military law system are one level higher even if they are at the same level, and the military law Cao is similar to a school captain, and there are more standing 3,000 military police in the army, who are separated from the command of the commander-in-chief, and in addition to supervising military discipline, they are also responsible for preventing the rebellion of the generals.

Lu Zhe did not kill the officers of the military law Cao system at all, when the generals gave the military power privately, the military law Cao should stand up to stop it, but not only did not stop it, but agreed, this is a violation of their natural responsibility, it is the way to take chaos, they don't deserve to die, who deserves to die.

It is also that Lu Zhe's power has just risen, and if such a thing happens to other countries, not only the officers of the military law Cao system should be killed, but even the generals will definitely kill a group. This has nothing to do with whether it is good or not, it is to maintain a rule to deter latecomers.

Lu Zhe's prestige in the army is extremely high, after all, he is the founder of this force, and the founder of a newly created force (dynasty) will always have unparalleled authority, otherwise this force (dynasty) will not be established, and then Lu Zhe has the heart of the army and the people, and no matter how dissatisfied the generals are, they can't lead the troops to rebel, Zhou Wen doesn't know much about those who can take over the military power smoothly.

Shun lĂŹ took over the military power, Zhou Wen suddenly found that He Yi, who was originally very easy to get along with, became a stranger after becoming a military lawyer, and He Yi, who was always smiling, has now become extremely strict, and Zhou Wen even found that He Yi's eyes looking at himself were also full of vigilance.

He Yi is a military lawyer, if he doesn't care about his future or life, he has the right to arrest the generals below the main general, and he can also report to the monarch to frame him or something. However, He Yi obviously did not mean to joke with his future and life, if he wanted to have a better future, he could only perform his duties tremblingly.

Oh...... Forgot to add, the military law Cao of each army is automatically attributed to Lu Zhe's retainers, if the soldiers of all forces are Lu Zhe's soldiers, then the military law soldiers who are the military police can be regarded as the monarch's private army.

Retainers and private soldiers can be confusing if they don't explain, all emperors in history have the habit of retainers and foreign ministers, national soldiers (Wehrmacht) and private soldiers.

The so-called retainers and foreign ministers, the emperor's retainers may not be in a high position but their power is absolutely prominent, and they are also the most unconcerned courtiers used by the emperor and killed.

The national soldier and the emperor's private army are also two concepts, let's become the non-commissioned officers of the national defense army, they are generally under the jurisdiction and constraints of the military department, but the emperor's private army can be transferred at will without going through the courtiers. However, usually a strong emperor does not raise too many emperors' private troops, after all, a strong emperor will not be able to mobilize any army he wants. In many cases, the emperor's private army would become a small number of worshippers with strong martial arts or strange abilities, or a system of secret agents, which was most common during the Tang and Ming dynasties.

Zhou Wen didn't understand too many things, and he was also very smart not to study those things he didn't understand, and while constantly encouraging the demoted generals after taking over the military power, he also maintained respect for Su Lie and Mei Kai, who were demoted to military marquis.

No matter how you say that Su Lie, Mei Kai and other generals are basically the team that followed Lu Zhe to rise from Yiling, Zhou Wen is now in power, but he doesn't dare to offend. Therefore, Zhou Wen could only show his humble side, and lowered his figure to learn from the generals about the situation of the Baiyue people on the other side.

Mei Kai and the others confronted the Baiyue people on the opposite side in the past two days, and they didn't know much information, only to know that the three chiefs of the Baiyue tribal alliance were all there, and the number of Baiyue people on the opposite side should be about 250,000.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand?" Zhou Wen was a little indignant in his heart, what he knew was that Baiyue had gathered nearly 500,000 people in front of Luo County, and nearly 200,000 were wiped out by Sima Xin, and the cavalry under the command of Tang Jie and the infantry army on Mei Kai's side also wiped out about 60,000, so the remaining 250,000 could be worth counting.

Zhou Wen's roster has an establishment of more than 110,000 people, that is to say, after the merger of the three troops, the original 130,000 people have also been reduced by nearly 20,000 people, he looked at the reasons for the attrition very carefully, and found that the number of soldiers killed in the battle was not too much, only less than 4,000 people, and more than 1,000 seriously wounded and slightly injured about 6,000 who could not participate in the battle for the time being, and the rest were crossed out of the system because of illness.

Disease has always been the number one natural enemy of the army, Zhou Wen was very nervous after finding out that there were so many sick numbers, he called the military doctor to inquire, and he was relieved to learn that it was not an infectious disease and the sick soldiers were also carefully isolated.

At the beginning, Sima Xin commanded the 150,000 Qin army to the south, if the Qin army did not have an epidemic, it is really difficult to say what part it can hit, Lu Zhe was even mentally prepared to be beaten under the newly built Nanling City at that time.

"The enemy shows no signs of breaking through?" Zhou Wen smiled after confirming it again and again: "It's great that Baiyue people are willing to stay here." ”

Zhou Wencai didn't care why the Baiyue people didn't break through, his task was to nail this Baiyue people firmly here, waiting for Lu Zhe to come over with a follow-up.

A general should have his own responsibilities and a clear understanding, Zhou Wen is not the so-called pro-confidant, all he can do is to be more cautious, otherwise if he makes a mistake, it will be more than just a demotion. (To be continued......)
