Chapter 47, to correct military discipline
The people in the city rushed to tell each other, and the story of soldiers raping women and killing people has long been well known. Now I saw that the two murderers in the prison van grabbed the stones, eggs and vegetables that could be caught and threw them all the way to the vegetable market. When the two were taken to the guillotine by the soldiers, they still threw things at them one after another and shouted for the two pigs and dogs to be executed.
At this time, Zu Zhao also brought people here. He announced to the people: "Fathers, my subordinates have done such an inadvertible and harmful thing. I apologize to everyone. Now, these two shameless people are beheaded in front of you, which is also an explanation to everyone.
"Kill them, kill these two pigs and dogs." The people shouted one after another.
Zu Zhao saw that the people were angry and scolding endlessly. Under his order, he saw the knife flashing, two blood lights rising to the sky, grunting twice, and two heads falling to the ground. At this time, the people rushed forward one after another, and some people kicked the two people directly on the head. Everyone rushed up and kicked randomly one after another. Later, the head was kicked without a trace.
After killing the two, Zu Zhao appeased the people and promised that such a thing would not happen again, and then led the team back to the government office. He sent Ma Yuan to explore the previous situation in detail and learned that the humiliated woman was a rule to be married. Her parents died early, and only one grandmother was also beaten into the river and died. As for the people who went upstairs to save people, the two were seriously injured, the two were hacked to death, and only one escaped with minor injuries, the person who asked Ma Yuan for help.
Hearing this, Zu Zhao couldn't help but feel angry. He kicked a small table away and cursed, "Beast, how can there be such a person?" How can I explain to the people now?
Su De persuaded: "General, no one wants this to happen, but since he has happened, we can only accept it. Now the perpetrator has been beheaded, which is also an explanation for the dead and the living."
Zu Zhao felt extremely uncomfortable. Although he also likes beautiful women, he dares not think about such a harmful thing. Now this kind of thing actually happened in his army. If it spreads, when he seizes other cities in the future, as long as the defenders emphasizes to the people that there are many bullying in Zu Zhao's army. Humiliating the people, ** women, if the city is broken, the people's families will inevitably suffer like this. At that time, they are afraid that the soldiers and the people in the city will work together to fight against themselves. At that time, it is inevitable that the old and weak women and children will fight. Just like the general people who fought against Japan at that time, even if they hide in the city, it will be empty city. What's the use of a dead city?
was angry, and suddenly Han also ran in in a panic, saying that Zhao Meng put away his things and was about to leave. Zu Zhao was stunned for a moment. Now, his heart is confused enough. Why is Zhao Meng still thinking about it? That's a rare talent. He can't let him go like this. He must be guilty. It was his former subordinates and his relatives who did such a thing, so he wanted to leave.
Zhu Zhao hurriedly chased out with everyone, intercepted Zhao Meng at the gate, and asked, "General Zhao, what do you mean?"
Zhao Meng held a cloth bag and said ashamedly, "General, what face do my subordinates do to stay by your side, what face do I have to lead the soldiers to fight, and what face do I have to face the people in the city?" I can't absolve myself from this matter. In the future, I can only return to the mountains and forests to wash my inner sins.
Zu Zhao said, "You are wrong. Now is the time for people like you to come out and lead a group of righteous armies to save the people. This is a basket of good eggs, and it is inevitable that there will be one or two bad eggs. It's not your responsibility. If you say so, we are all responsible. What we need to do now is to give the people an explanation, a compensation, instead of blindly escaping. If you are a knowledgeable person, the leader will be full of treacherous villains like ten permanent servants in the future. No one will fight against them. How hard is the people in the world. How deep the water is. Hot? Do you think you won't be guilty if you escape? On the contrary, your escape is to promote the breeding of sin. Do you know that this is sin?
Zhao Meng was speechless by Zu Zhao's call. Finally, under the persuasion of everyone, he agreed to go back. At the same time, he also understood that in the war, he should not only pay attention to their combat quality, but also pay attention to their physical and mental quality, so that they know what they can do and what they can't do.
In response to this matter, Zu Zhao issued a death order to the army. In the future, those who harass the people will be severely punished, and those who are serious will be executed. If ** women appear, they will be executed late and will never be tolerated. The soldier made a mistake, the captain was implicated, the captain was wrong, the captain was implicated, the general was implicated, but the general has been implicated, and has been analogy that if Zu Zhao's general makes a mistake, then Zu Zhao also consciously accepts the punishment according to the seriousness of his situation.
After this incident, Zhao Meng has been blaming himself. He took the initiative to carry thorns and walk on the street under the escort of soldiers, which is a kind of atonement and an explanation to the people.
The people know that it is not his fault, but their hearts are separated. It is normal for such people not to see through, and it is inevitable that there are tens of thousands of people's hearts. They do not cover up and condone them and decisively put them to death, which is already the biggest explanation to the people.
After this, Zhao Meng felt a little relieved. And when he did this, Zu Zhao also had an appreciation and trust in him, knowing that he must be a person who can be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future.
Zu Zhao's army continued to rest for three days in Wangping County. There was nothing disturbing the people during these three days. One night, it rained heavily, and the soldiers camped in the streets soaked in the heavy rain. Some people couldn't stand it and took the initiative to invite them into the house to sleep, but no one dared to go in and disturb the people and still lived in the camp. In this regard, the people admire Zu Zhao's army very much. When they exchange dialogue, they inevitably praise this army.
When they think of the woman who was humiliated, they couldn't help sighing, but she met the villain in the army. God's fate is like this, and there is nothing we can do. They just hope that such a thing will never happen in the future. Zu Zhao's army is really for the people, and some of the policies promoted by Zu Zhao are also free from the people. Naturally, they strongly support it.
After three days of stationing, Zu Zhao continued to lead a large army to Xinchang to fight against Zhao Ci. Ma Yuan and Han Ye were the vanguards and took the lead in the army. Zhao Qi and Zhao Meng were responsible for escorting food and grass closely behind.
It is said that Zu Zhao led the army to recapture Wangping County, and Zhao Meng and others all surrendered. A spy had already reported it to Zhao Ci in Xinchang. Xinchang was originally a large county town in Liaodong County, and the city was as strong as Wangping County. After Zhao Ci arrived at Xin, because there was not much food and fodder, he immediately ordered a strong attack and finally attacked the county, but he also suffered heavy losses. At this time, he was recuperating and rectifying the county, intending to restore some vitality and then plotting him.
At this time, when he heard that Zhao Menggui surrendered Zu Zhao, his heart was very hot, and he shouted and kicked the detective out. Zhao Ci has learned some skills of platooning. He is eight feet long, has a long beard, and is also quite good-looking and talented. However, this person is extremely violent and likes to kill people most when he is in a hurry.
At this moment, when he heard that Zhao Meng had surrendered, he was even more angry to vent. He immediately sent someone to bring up the county magistrate of Xinchang and cut him with a knife. He still felt that he was not satisfied. He wanted to kill the county magistrate's family together. Some subordinates advised him desperately, so he agreed not to kill the county magistrate's family, but ordered people to hang the county magistrate's disclosure on the wall.
After a while, another detective rushed to hug him, saying that Zu Zhao's army had left Wangping County. At this moment, he was killing Xinchang County as the left and right pioneers of Ma Yuan and Zhao Meng's subordinates in Youzhou. Zhao Ci was furious when he heard the words and immediately asked who was going to go to war, and first destroyed their vanguard troops to frustrate the prestige of the other party.
At this moment, a general came out. This man's surname is Ji Mingling. He was originally from Shandong. Later, there was a war there. He failed to join the army and killed an officer. In order to escape the war in Shandong, he was exiled to Nanyang. When Zhao Ci revolted, he defected to Zhao Ci.
This Ji Ling is nine feet long and is good at using one or three pointed two-edged knives. He is extremely brave. He was invincible in all previous battles and failed to meet his opponents, so Zhao Ci kept him by his side. Now that Ji Ling took the initiative to fight, Zhao Ci was very happy and immediately asked him to lead 2,000 troops to Zu Zhao's vanguard troops.
Ji Ling said, "Little pioneer, I already think highly of them when I go to fight against them. Why do I need 2,000? As long as there are 800 cavalry, I can bring their heads to see them."
Zhao Ci said, "No, Ma Yuan's ability is not small, and now he and Han also come for the left and right pioneers. Han Ye is the first fierce general around Zhao Meng. His ability cannot be underestimated, and there are also many people led by their vanguard force. You'd better bring more."
Ji Ling shouted, "Lord, you look up to them too much. Han Ye, I have practiced with him before. He has brute force and is not afraid. As for Ma Yuan, the unknown junior is not to mention it. I only need to bring 800 cavalry, and I will definitely be able to take their heads. If the lord doesn't believe it, I can make a military order. If I can't get their heads, I am willing to be punished by the army.
Seeing that Ji Ling was so domineering, Zhao Ci was overjoyed and said, "How can I not believe the general? Well, then you can take 800 cavalry with you. I want to see their heads. When you come back successfully, I will set up a celebration banquet for you here. The beauty in the city, you can choose whatever you want.
"Thank you, Lord." After thanking, Ji Ling left the government office, selected 800 cavalry, and rushed out of the city gate. Zhao Ci looked at the Ji Ling army on the tower and couldn't help admiring: "Ji Ling is really a divine general. This battle will definitely be won."
