Since each battalion donated some soldiers and horses to the court, the Chen family army began to recruit new soldiers again.

Recruiting new soldiers is basically impossible to recruit from the locals. They can only be selected from the refugees who have escaped from the disaster or the civilian husbands who work in the military camps.

The recruitment of new recruits is usually left to the captains. Only after the recruits pass the test are they introduced to the captains for re-examination.

In the first ten days after arriving, the recruits carried supplies, fed horses, chopped firewood, cleaned the barracks, cleaned cesspits, and did all kinds of dirty work in the camp.

After these ten days have passed, they will be taught some simple sticks, swords and guns, and finally they will be taught high-level training such as archery and riding.

Li Xiaofei originally had no chance to watch the training of new recruits, but Hua Xiaoan kept reminding him that he should check the training of new recruits. Li Xiaofei knew that there was an article in it, so he rushed to the recruit training ground with thirty soldiers.

"Climb quickly! Call me grandpa!" A man waving a long whip grinned.

A recruit covered in bloodstains fell to the ground. The recruits around him shouted, "Captain, you killed someone! If you hit us again, we will all die!"

"He is weak and sickly. This captain is training you to become brave and capable soldiers! You must be grateful to me!" The captain who was training the new recruits continued to whip the new recruits with his whip.

Then several more recruits fell down, and Li Xiaofei rode over to stop him: "Stop! You are so disrespectful of human life! Does Chen Zhong know?"

"Oh, it turns out that it's Marshal Li who missed the welcome! These people are the rebels who committed rebellion. I trained them today to give them a way out! Now that Marshal Li is here, I don't dare to bend the law for personal gain.

Ah, behead all these rebels."

The captain gave the order, and a group of soldiers came over to escort the new recruits away.

"Li Donglin! You are such a slanderer! That's not what you said when you tricked us into joining the army! We are not rebels!"

"We won't let you go even if we are a ghost!"

When Li Donglin saw the new recruits starting to make a fuss, he hurriedly shouted: "Take these rebels away quickly!"

"Wait a minute! Even the rebels should have a chance to change their ways and let them speak!" Li Xiaofei wanted to stop Li Donglin

"Shuai Li really wants to embarrass me because of these rebels?" Li Donglin looked at Li Xiaofei

Before Li Xiaofei could continue to speak, Li Donglin had already drawn his sword and slashed at a recruit.

"Stop! Li Donglin, are you going to rebel?" Li Xiaofei yelled, and Hua Xiaoan had already stretched out his iron rod to block Li Donglin's saber.

"Shuai Li, are you going to embarrass me today?" Li Donglin glared at Li Xiaofei

Li Xiaofei has been leading troops for several years. He has heard about beating and bullying new recruits, but this is the first time he has seen it in person.

For the first time, he had the thought that this would be the last time! It was too inhumane, and this so-called way of running the army was not what he wanted.

I used to think it was just a symbolic job for the veterans, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel.

If Hua Xiaoan hadn't reminded him in time today, these dozens of recruits would have been killed by Li Donglin for committing rebellion!

What's more, Li Donglin is too arrogant and dares to threaten the coach!

"Li Donglin! You killed the recruits and ruined the reputation of our army. Do you know your crime?" Li Xiaofei drew his sword and pointed it at Li Donglin.

Li Donglin sneered: "Compassion does not control soldiers! I am just training them, and there is no need to punish them. It is normal for you to replace the old people like us when you are new! But remember, without us, you

It’s hard to move even an inch!”

Li Donglin's arrogance was beyond Li Xiaofei's expectation, and Li Xiaofei made up his mind that he must kill today!

"Excellent! Compassion does not lead the army! Come on, behead Li Donglin, the scumbag who disobeyed the general's orders and harmed the new recruits! It's time to rectify military discipline!"

"

As soon as Li Xiaofei said this, the soldiers behind him stepped forward to capture Li Donglin.

When Li Donglin saw that Li Xiaofei was serious, he drew his knife and shouted: "What a Li Xiaofei, eradicate the dissidents! Kill Marshal Chen's old subordinates to death! Use our heads to claim credit!"

"Shut up! You still have the nerve to mention Marshal Chen! It was a scum like you that brought Marshal Chen into trouble, so he had to resign! You still dare to draw a sword on your boss! This is a crime of treason! Kill without mercy!"

With the sound of killing without mercy, the soldiers surrounded him without fear. Li Donglin fought to the death but was finally outnumbered and was knocked to the ground.

Li Xiaofei ordered everyone to tie up Li Donglin and prepare for execution on the school grounds.

At this time, the other captains of the Yizi Battalion came to plead for Li Donglin. Li Xiaofei looked at the formation and sneered: "Today I have seen what it means to defeat the superior, and what it means to be an arrogant and powerful general! In this case! This Li Donglin is even more demanding.

Kill! Remember, if you continue to disobey my orders, you will be killed without mercy! Anyone who harms the recruits and the people will be killed without mercy!"

Li Xiaofei waved his hand, and the soldier raised his sword and dropped it, causing Li Donglin's head to roll on the ground. The school grounds were immediately silent. Everyone was used to laughing and joking about Li Xiaofei, who was harmless to humans and animals. No one expected that this seemingly honest and honest Li Xiaofei could actually be so cruel.

Chen Hongyi’s former lover was chopped off immediately!

Li Donglin's head was hung outside the camp gate for public display, and the thirty-seven people who were rescued became Li Xiaofei's bodyguards.

By the time Chen Zhong arrived, Li Xiaofei was already conducting a thorough investigation into the bullying and cruelty of recruits in each battalion.

"Marshal Li, my good brother, you can't do this. You are trying to force the captains of each battalion to rebel!"

"Brother Chen, if we continue to treat new recruits like this, we will sow the seeds of hatred in the Chen family army. Instead of fighting with each other in the future, it is better for a strong man to have his arms cut off today!"

"On that day, His Majesty and the Prime Minister have promised us to forget the past! Now the Commander-in-Chief still wants to thoroughly investigate and deal with the past affairs. Doesn't this force everyone to rebel?"

What Chen Zhong said was true. Even Chen Zhong's hands were stained with the blood of recruits. He had killed some recruits who could not stand the beatings and ran away.

Li Xiaofei looked at Chen Zhong meaningfully: "Since it is something that both Your Majesty and the Prime Minister have promised, I hope you will not let them down again! I hope Li Donglin is the last Chen family soldier killed by me!"

"I won't let you down this time! As long as you don't settle old scores, I believe Li Donglin's head will teach everyone how to treat new recruits!"

"I don't want to settle old scores, nor do I want to punish anyone! But everyone here is born from parents, and they are all flesh and blood. They should not be treated as trivial! I have no choice but to kill Li Donglin! If he has

If you repent even a little bit, I won’t kill him!”

"Commander! Ci is not in charge of the troops. Li Donglin does not know whether to live or die. Killing him is also for the sake of military discipline!"

"It just so happens that I am a person who tends to be soft-hearted, and I don't like to see anyone being bullied. It's not like me to be so kind as to not be able to control my troops!"

Chen Zhong said nothing more, thinking that you, Li Xiaofei, killed Li Donglin, a captain who had repeatedly made military exploits, without hesitation. Who would dare to believe that you are soft-hearted?

With the example of Li Donglin in front of them, the lieutenants and captains of the 24th Battalion restrained themselves a lot, because no one knew which day Li Xiaofei would come to check on his camp, and there was no guarantee that no ordinary soldiers would file a complaint just to vent their personal anger.

The murder of Li Donglin was naturally known to the court.

Chen Zhengnan mentioned it at the court meeting: "I heard that Li Xiaofei was good at killing meritorious ministers. I wonder how your majesty will deal with it?"

"I want to hear things and opinions that are not just hearsay!" Liu Jian was a little disdainful of Chen Zhengnan. The people sent by the academy, not to mention killing people, were unable to get out of the camp. The opportunity was given to the academy first, and it was they themselves.

Unfortunately, Li Xiaofei took action to punish these arrogant and powerful men, but Chen Zhengnan came to attack Li Xiaofei.

"Reporting to your majesty, as far as I know, what Li Xiaofei killed was an officer who violated the law by abusing the recruits! Even if he has merit, he cannot commit crime!" Liu Mingge also began to help Li Xiaofei fight back.

"My opinion is that Li Xiaofei was right to kill, but he should have reported it to Your Majesty before committing the murder!" Huang Chuanting came to Chen Zhengnan in time to make amends.

"I'm afraid that Li Xiaofei kills generals without permission. If this continues, where is the imperial system? Where is the majesty of the emperor and the imperial court? Will this army become the Li family army again?" Shen Yuanhao asked a series of questions, each sentence hitting the point.

"You guys called Chen Jiajun and Li Jiajun. General Chen has been loyal to the court all his life, but you have doubted him. Now Li Xiaofei has gone, and you can't tolerate him! May I ask what the Lord Gongun wants? Do you want this army?"

You won't stop until the whole army becomes rebels!" Murong Ling finally couldn't help but speak.

Xun Gongtai Xiang Xiaoyu and others joined in the argument one after another, and finally Liu Jian spoke: "In this case, I have decided to assign supervisors to Li Xiaofei's army to supervise Li Xiaofei and the generals! What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise! I have no objections!" Everyone agreed with Liu Jian's opinion.

"Okay then, I will send internal supervisors Qin Abao and Qin Wulu to serve as supervisors in Li Xiaofei's army!"

This was the first time that eunuchs were appointed as supervisors. People in the academy wanted to object, but when they thought that since Li Xiaofei dared to kill a meritorious general in the Chen family's army, there was no guarantee that Li Xiaofei would not kill him as a supervisor beside him.

So everyone in the academy agreed

Liu Mingge didn't have a good impression of eunuchs, but he thought they were better than those in the academy. Besides, the emperor only trusted eunuchs. It would be extremely unwise to oppose the emperor at this time.

Murong Ling's goal has been achieved long ago, as long as they don't attack Li Xiaofei.

Qin Abao and Qin Wulu came to the army two days later to serve as supervisors.

Li Xiaofei was very polite to the two supervisors with shrill voices, but the people around him didn't look down upon the two supervisors.

Chen Zhong, in particular, shouted eunuchs one after another in front of the supervisors, and insinuated that the two supervisors were in vain and wasted food in the military camp because they were not familiar with military affairs.

Li Xiaofei took the time to call Chen Zhong aside: "Brother Chen, you disrespect the eunuchs, of course it is out of disgust for the eunuchs, but have you ever thought that they are also pitiful people. This time they came without being arrogant.

We treat each other with courtesy, can't we even tolerate people like this? What would the emperor think if they couldn't bear it and ran back to the palace? The two of them came to the army on behalf of the emperor!"

Chen Zhong patted his head: "Thank you for reminding me, it's really troublesome to deal with you people! There are so many things to think about!"

"I can't help but think about it. Little brother, I am a person who has narrowly escaped death. If the emperor hadn't protected you all and taken care of me, my head would have been no longer around my neck. Can you not think too much about it?"

After Li Xiaofei's mediation, Chen Zhong also showed great respect to the two supervisors. Qin Abao and Qin Wulu were a little flattered, so they took out the imperial wine they brought to share with Li Xiaofei and Chen Zhong.

"We have been sent to the palace since we were young. We have been beaten a lot over the years. It is common to be scolded and angry. I never thought that we could be human beings in this military camp!"

"I also came from a very poor background. I was lucky enough to meet old General Chen, the current emperor, and many friends, so I, Li Xiaofei, respect everyone very much. Life in this world is already hard, so why bother?

Do you want to embarrass each other? Come on, since the four of us are together, it is fate. Today, the two supervisors are willing to take out the treasured imperial wine, and they regard us as brothers!"

Chen Zhong raised the wine bowl and swallowed with his mouth open. After drinking, he wiped his mouth and said, "Why does this imperial wine taste a little like the Zijin alcohol we brew?"
