Chapter 166: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

Strode in front of Wei Zheng, knelt on one leg, and after a military salute, he said loudly: "Please surrender to the chief soldier, the last general is incompetent and failed to train the Datong garrison."

"Reason, I want to be specific, why do the soldiers have been trained for so long, and the soldiers don't even know how to obey the minimum military discipline of obeying military orders......" Wei Zheng ignored Zhang Wu who was kneeling on the ground, like an angry lion, and asked Zhang Wu loudly...

Zhang Wu, who knelt on one leg, replied with a face full of embarrassment: "My lord, you should know that in order to meet the Tartars and the Shaanxi rebels who knocked on the pass, the garrison of my Datong Mansion has been drawn out of 10,000 soldiers..."

"The total strength of Datong Mansion is less than 15,000 people, and 10,000 people were withdrawn at once, almost all the soldiers who can fight in Datong Mansion were withdrawn."

"Now the 5,000 soldiers who stay in Datong Mansion, especially those officers, are basically some hereditary officers, and even more, there are titles on their bodies. Under such circumstances, the last general could not help them at all in the process of training. There is nothing the last general can do about their behavior of eating a large amount of empty wages. ”

"A group of knights are interesting after their merits..."Wei Zheng's gloomy face immediately showed an expression of interest.

After raising his hand and signaling Zhang Wu to get up, he ordered with a calm face: "Although the responsibility is not yours, you still have the unshirkable responsibility of leading the troops....So, I will remember this charge for you for the time being...."

"Tell me first, among the garrisons in front of you, which one has the highest title and the greatest power behind it..."

Although he didn't know what Wei Zheng wanted to do, Zhang Wu, who had already made a bad impression on Wei Zheng, still replied very cheerfully: "My lord." The highest rank is a garrison general in the army....just...."

"Just what?" Wei Zheng's brows furrowed. Subconsciously asked.

Under Wei Zheng's fierce gaze. Zhang Wu hurriedly replied: "It's just....the last general didn't see him on the training ground....if nothing else, this garrison must not have arrived yet......."

"Didn't come....it's good ......" Speaking of this, a sneer quickly appeared on Wei Zheng's face.

Then, under Zhang Wu's incomprehensible gaze, he continued to ask: "Deputy General Zhang, according to our Ming military regulations, how should those who gather generals fail to order troops..."

"Report to your Excellency. If the ordinary soldiers gather and fail to count the troops, they will be beaten with a hundred military sticks, and if the officers do not reach them, the punishment will be doubled, and the leading army will be beaten with two hundred..."

"Very good, then when our garrison general arrives, give him two hundred military sticks..."Wei Zheng nodded, and ordered in a flat tone.

"Killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys......."

This was Zhang Wu's first thought after hearing the order. However, when Zhang Wu thought about the possible consequences of two hundred military sticks. The expression of admiration for Wei Zheng was then covered with solemnity, and he reminded with a worried face.

"Lord Commander. If we really beat 200 military sticks according to military regulations, I am afraid that Wang Garrison will be beaten to death. When the time comes. The royal family of the capital will definitely find a way to take revenge on you....so, please think twice...."

"Beat to death...."Hearing these words, the murderous aura on Wei Zheng's face became even stronger, and he replied without hesitation.

"Vice General Zhang, do you know why you can't command the 5,000 soldiers in front of you, a very important factor is that your guts are too small, no matter what you do, you like to look ahead and backward, and you don't look like a soldier..."

"To tell you the truth, I just want to beat this Zhang garrison to death with 200 military sticks, and I will also execute in front of 5,000 soldiers, so that 5,000 soldiers can see the end of violating military regulations with their own eyes. Only in this way can my example of killing chickens and monkeys work. ”

"As for the revenge of the royal family in the capital, you don't have to worry about it at all. Don't forget, the current Datong Mansion is under the attack of the Shaanxi rebels. On the battlefield, even I, the general soldier of the third rank of the imperial court, may die on the battlefield, let alone a small general of the fifth rank... Do you know what I mean? ”

Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, and the worried expression on his face disappeared at this moment. Facing Wei Zheng, he said excitedly: "My lord is wise... The last general immediately asked people to prepare, as long as the king guarded together, he would enforce the military regulations on the king's garrison......"

At this moment, a voice full of arrogance suddenly sounded on the training ground in front of him.

Under the watchful eye of Wei Zheng, Wang Garrison, who was wearing the uniform of a five-grade military attaché, was surrounded by a group of henchmen, breaking through the blockade of the training ground by the Tiger and Leopard Army and entering the training ground...

"Who is beating the drum here, making the noise so that Lao Tzu can't even sleep well, is he impatient, and he doesn't want to mix with the garrison in our Datong Mansion..."

Seeing that Wang Shoubei was still so arrogant before he died, Zhang Wu, who was dressed in military uniform, shouted: "Wang Shoubei, didn't you see the chief soldier standing on the point general's platform, not to mention that he was late for violating military regulations, and he was still very disrespectful to the chief soldier..."

"Lord Commander...."After following the direction from which the voice came, Wei Zheng's slightly emaciated and young figure appeared in Wang Shoubei's field of vision.

Then, a sneer appeared on Wang Shoubei's face.

Facing Wei Zheng, he said arrogantly: "You are the chief soldier of Datong Mansion just appointed by the imperial court....I thought it was someone, it looked like a scholar who had not dried up......

Hearing this, the murderous aura on Wei Zheng's face became even stronger.

After glaring at Zhang Wu in front of him, he ordered loudly: "Vice General Zhang, what are you still doing in a daze....Someone violates military regulations, how can you be a deputy general...."

"Yes, my lord...", receiving the order, Zhang Wu's eyes quickly shot out two hot glances.

Under the gaze of all the soldiers in the training ground, he shouted loudly: "Wang Garrison, as an officer of the imperial court, took the lead in violating military regulations, and according to the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, he will be fined 200 military sticks...... Now I declare that, in accordance with the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the military law will be immediately enforced against the king's garrison..."

"What are the magistrates doing, and they haven't come up to execute yet..."

As soon as the words fell, a group of soldiers of the Haw Par Army wearing iron armor rushed down from the Dianjiang platform, pulled the still hairy Wang Garrison out of the garrison, and pressed it to the ground in front of the Dianjiangtai.

"Smack..."After the long military stick hit Wang Shoubei with a whistling sound, Wang Shoubei finally reacted from the sudden change.

"Ahh

Wang Shoubei, who had a painful expression on his face, like an angry lion, continued to shout.

"What do you want to do, don't you let me go right away, I am the uncle of the Ming Dynasty, you dare to beat my military stick, aren't you afraid of cutting off your head......"

"Let me go immediately, my grandfather is the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, you have offended me, you have ten heads are not enough to cut off, let me go....ah....it hurts...."In the clamor of the king's garrison, the second military stick had already hit him with a whistling sound. (To be continued......)
