107 The War of Retribution

...

On the reviewing stand, Wu Qi looked at the soldiers with frost on his face until the hourglass was lowered, and then he raised the flag in his hand and waved it.

Standing in front of the stage, the school yelled loudly: "Beat the drum! The whole army gathered~~"

"Dongdongdongdongdong~~"

The sound of the drums echoed continuously on the school field. The running soldiers heard the sound and immediately stopped, quickly arranged the formation, and waited for inspection.

The whole process was completed in just ten breaths, which was amazing.

Wu Qi glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Very good! Now you have some elites who should be!

The morning training ended today. After a while, I had a rest, I went to the camp to eat morning food. The marching of forty miles in the afternoon will continue! Disband!"

The soldiers felt relieved and then began to stand in place to rest. With such intense physical exercise, they could not sit or lie immediately. They needed to stand in place for a quarter of an hour to recover, otherwise they would have dizziness and fainting symptoms, which would be extremely uncomfortable.

Wu Qi put the order flag back into the flag plaque and walked down the reviewing stand to leave first, but as soon as he walked to the entrance of the schoolyard, he was stopped by two defenders.

Wu Qi was about to salute, but heard a general ask with dissatisfaction: "Wu Qi, I ask you, I heard that your army eats two or three times the amount of meat we have, is there any such thing?"

Wu Qi replied: "That's right, every officer and soldier of our new army will have to add another 2 taels if he is intensified for training. This is what Governor Bai personally ordered. How dare you ask the general what instructions do you have?"

Hearing this, the general immediately pointed at Wu Qi's nose and shouted: "No wonder the soldiers in the army complained so much, saying that your new army's food was almost as good as the princes and ministers,

At first I didn’t believe it, but I didn’t expect you to admit it today. It’s great. Do you think it’s fair? Why are your new army food so much better than ours?”

Wu Qi said calmly: "General, I think you should have seen it in the past few months. My new army is one hour earlier than you every day, and all training events are supported by physical fitness.

Without these, how could they survive until now? I feel that there is nothing fair or unfair about this, and the food of the defenders is not bad..."

The general raised his hand: "Don't say these useless things, I just feel unfair for our brothers in various battalions. Look at your recruits, none of them have ever been on the battlefield, but they enjoy higher food and treatment than them. Where do you get the qualifications?"

Wu Qi said: "General, if you have any dissatisfaction, please tell the governor yourself, why are you so embarrassed?"

"Young Datuk Army suppressed me!" The guard shouted violently and grabbed Wu Qi's clothes. "Mr. surnamed Wu, I really don't know what luck you have left. You can actually curry favor with the governor. I miss you a prisoner who even got married for the sake of your future. I really don't know what face you have to stay in the army!"

These words hurt Wu Qi's weakness. The scene of killing his wife in the past flashed through his mind, which made him unable to stop twitching...

Seeing this, the general immediately mocked: "Why, now I know I'm afraid? You murderer!"

"shut up!"

Wu Qi shouted violently, grabbed the guard's neck and hit him hard. Soon the two of them fought together.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting~"

The other guards hurried forward to persuade them to fight, but for a moment they could not pull away the two entangled together. When the new soldiers saw this scene, they also gave strange looks.

Just then...

"The deputy commander of the Northwest Army was here~~"

But it was Duan Feng and Tian Yan, and Xia Yu who came to Jinzhong Pass.

"What are you doing?" Duan Bing, who saw this scene, immediately shouted loudly, "Two breaths! I will stop working on all military laws!"

Wu Qi then separated from the guard general with a bruised nose and swollen face, and stood aside, but his eyes were still staring at the other party with resentment.

"Who will explain to me what's going on!" Duan Bing asked in an unquestionable tone.

The officers and soldiers of Jin Chongguan guards respected Duan Bing very much. When they saw him asking, they didn't dare to look up at him for a moment, but just lowered their heads and kept silent.

Duan Feng stared at them with a calm face and said, "What? Don't you want to say that you are? Don't want to say that you are all being beaten by military sticks, deprived of your current position, and handed over to the Military Law Department for interrogation!"

The guard before bowed and said, "General Duan, General Duan did not intend to cause trouble, but some facts are puzzled. Why are the newly recruited soldiers treated so much higher than ours? General Duan wants to ask an explanation for his brothers!"

Duan Feng frowned: "Didn't your military food be distributed according to the standards?"

"No..." said the guard.

"Is that because the soldiers are not full?" Duan Feng asked again.

"Not..." the guard replied softly.

"That's the military pay has not been paid enough?" Duan Feng's tone gradually became cold.

The guard replied: "The 57,000 gold gates are 2,500 yuan per month, 230 yuan of vegetables, and 2,30 yuan of seasonal cloth are all distributed on time by the Military Logistics Department and handed over to every soldier. There is no greed. Please check it out!"

Duan Feng's eyes and jaws were slightly jawed: "Since that's the case, how can there be unfair words? Hum?"

The guard knelt down on one knee: "General Duan, General Duan, he just dissatisfied and felt unfair for the thousands of brothers under his command. Why do these new troops have higher food and water than us? If we don't find out, General Duan will be unable to sleep or eat!"

Duan Feng helped the guard up and said slowly: "You only see that they eat better than you, but have you ever thought that they have to work harder than you. Shouldn't such a large amount of physical energy be consumed to replenish more oil and water?

You are a veteran after all. How can you set an example for those new soldiers so stingy? Are you not afraid of being jealous of the new soldiers? Want to be the same as theirs? Yes, as long as you can train with such intensity every day,

This general went to the Supervisor to give you the same treatment. Can you do it?"

The guards did not speak, and the other generals who came with him also remained silent.

Duan Jing continued, "Okay, don't make trouble anymore. Why bother with such a small matter? Think about how you treated like this in the past under the Qiang people?

Not to mention eating meat and getting paid for military pay, even if you can eat half full meals a day, is it a luxury to have a two-meal meal a day? Is it just a few good days now? You are starting to be jealous of your colleagues, what should you do in the future? Do you want to draw your sword and kill each other?"

These guards were extremely ashamed. In fact, after all, they just didn't accept Wu Qi's promotion and reuse. After all, Wu Qi's character is really not very good.

Duan Feng scolded the defenders, then turned to look at Wu Qi and said, "The same is true for you. Be calm when you encounter problems. How can you fight with your boss like this? You won't apologize!"

Wu Qi wiped his face, came to the general who had just fought with him, and bowed: "I know my mistake, please don't go to my heart..."

Seeing that there was a step, the guard knew that it was caused by his rude words, so he bowed and replied: "The last general was also excited just now. He shouldn't be hindered by words, so instructor Wu should not take it to heart."

A crisis finally subsided with Duan Feng's intervention.

"Okay, let's go back and work hard. After lunch, the general wants to announce something. Now he will return to his post immediately."

"Here!"

After these generals left, Duan Bing said to Wu Qi: "Come with me!"

The group came to the hall of the guard general's mansion. Duan Yi asked Wu Qi to sit down, whispered a few instructions to Tian Yan and Xia Yu, watched them leave the mansion, and then said to Wu Qi: "Do you know?

The "Military Military Law" you wrote was noticed by the Governor. He appreciated you very much and was considering submitting it to Your Majesty himself when he came to Beijing to report his work at the end of the year.

Do you know that once Your Majesty decides to publish your military book, you will have all the fame, fortune and reputation you have been pursuing, but if the matter today is about to be released, it will most likely turn into nothing..."

Wu Qi hurriedly said, "General Duan is an impulse from his subordinate. Is it okay to help make a comeback when he is the first offender?"

Duan Feng said: "It is not necessary to help you make a mistake, but who can guarantee that you will not be in trouble in the future? Your knot must be untied. To be honest, I am also surprised by your act of killing your wife.

I don’t think you are like the kind of person who is so crazy for the future in the rumor. Why not talk to me now and make preparations…”

Wu Qi hesitated for a moment before he spoke to Duan Feng about the weakness in his heart that he didn't want to mention.

It turned out that Wu Qi loved military books since he was a child. His family was not bad, but he was willing to sell his assets for a military book. Until he grew up, he wrote a military book himself, "The Measures of Martial Soldiers". Although it was not finished at that time, it could be considered a subversion of the traditional method of training and formation, which can be regarded as a huge innovation.

Originally, Wu Qi wanted to join the army, especially when the Qiang people fell, Wei Min became emperor, which made Wu Qi think he had a place to use his skills and wanted to join the army day and night.

However, he also has a wife who needs care for her. She is a child bride who has been at home since childhood. Wu Qi is very considerate to her and the couple is also very loving.

However, this wife is a poor person and has been plagued by illness since she was a child. Seeing Wu Qi give up the good fortune for her, her condition worsened even more due to guilt.

Until later, my wife could no longer get out of bed, and Wu Qi stayed with her day and night, as if she had given up her future.

However, my wife, who grew up with Wu Qi since childhood, knew that Wu Qi would not say anything, but she was extremely distressed in her heart. She only resented her illness that dragged him down.

Several times he thought of suicide, but it was so difficult for her to raise her hand that she had to raise her hand, let alone commit suicide.

Finally, she knew that she was unable to make things happen, and if she continued like this, she would only drag Wu Qi down, so she admitted to Wu Qi frankly, saying that she could not stand being tortured by the disease and only wanted him to understand her life.

That night, the couple had a whole night of communication. Wu Qi finally strangled his wife to death with tears, which was to relieve her.

Later, Wu Qi took the initiative to surrender to the government. According to the Wei law at that time, death row prisoners could be sent to the border as soldiers and needed to serve for 30 years.

Wu Qi then arrived at Jinzhong Pass and appointed a guardian of the pass...
