Chapter 423(1/2)
The fire-headed soldiers in the auxiliary barracks were originally responsible for cooking, and they were usually very skilled at killing pigs and sheep. But at this time, they were walking across the battlefield with their decapitating knives, and started cutting off the heads of thieves on the ground.
These auxiliary barracks are also Sichuan soldiers. Because their abilities are slightly inferior, they were not selected into the combat barracks. They became auxiliary soldiers and their salary was only one yuan a day. They could only watch the battle just now, but they were also enthusiastic about it. Unfortunately, the fighting time was too short.
, it’s over before I can get enough of it.
At this time, the fire soldiers were holding the Jie Shou Dao, which was quite satisfying.
The heads of the thieves were chopped off one by one, and there were special soldiers who carried baskets on their backs, filled the baskets, and sent them back to queue up for registration.
After the head of the thief was chopped off, other auxiliary soldiers came to clean it up. There were people who were responsible for stripping off the armor, clothes, shoes, and money and other things that were carried on the headless corpse. Finally, a headless body was left.
Next, auxiliary soldiers came over, pulled them together, dug a big hole, and buried them collectively.
Everything is divided into tasks and planned in advance.
The clerks were busy recording the military merits of killing the enemy, the status of injuries and disabilities, as well as the battlefield seizures and battlefield damage. Each item must be recorded in time.
Zhang Shipeng and others also rushed to the village.
"Good fight!" Zhang Shipeng praised.
Ji Congxiao said, "Admiral's words sound like curses. We are the imperial camp, and the camp code is charge. To deal with such a group of thieves, we should fight well."
Chang Tai, the battalion officer of Xiaorui Battalion, said unhappily, "You guys are so quick to start. You can at least give us some soup even if you eat meat. We will run around with you, but in the end we didn't even catch a hair!"
Ji Congxiao laughed and said, "Lao Chang, we are fellow villagers who came from Jiangyin together. You worked hard to support me this time. Next time our charge battalion will support your Xiaorui battalion."
"Have you caught the Black Dragon King?"
"Being shot into a hedgehog, this guy saw that the situation was not good and wanted to run away from the back hill, but was blocked by the back sentry. The archers saw that this guy was riding a big horse and knew that he must be the leader, so they all shot at this guy, damn it
, I saw that horse. The big horse from the north is worth a lot of money, but it was lost in vain. I must let these guys pay attention next time. Such good horses are rare, but now they can only be divided and stewed.
Eaten the meat.”
Ji Shimei reminded her cousin, "There are many people in this village who were coerced. Did you not kill them randomly?"
"Don't worry, we are the king's masters, not thugs."
"Well, what about the money, food and property stolen by the thieves? They were all sealed and registered in a timely manner, and they were not kept secretly or shared, right?"
"We are brothers. We have the same grandfather. We grew up peeing in mud together. You still can't trust me? If anyone dares to mess around in my stormtrooper camp, I will cut off his hands."
He just finished speaking.
As a result, the camp supervisor came over and said that the military police found someone hiding trophies, and there were quite a lot of them.
Ji Congxiao was as angry as a cat that stepped on its tail. Everyone jumped up and roared, "Who, who the hell dares to ignore my orders, who dares to ignore the military regulations of the imperial camp decreed by the saint, who the hell dares to reach out randomly
, said, I will kill him now!"
The battalion supervisor just said calmly, "Batalion Commander, calm down. They have violated military regulations and have been arrested by the gendarmerie. From now on, they are under the control of the gendarmerie. We will review and deal with them as soon as possible."
, the battalion commander doesn’t have to worry about this.”
Ji Congxiao was furious and wanted to kill someone with a knife.
Ji Shimei shouted, "The state has national laws, the military has military regulations, and the imperial camp has supervisors and gendarmerie responsible for enforcing military laws. Although you are a camp officer, you have no right to interfere, let alone kill people randomly. Why don't you do it right?"
Retreat, you will be embarrassed."
Ji Cong's face flushed with filial piety, but he could only grit his teeth and retreat.
"You must investigate the prison camp thoroughly for me. Deal with it as you should. You must not be lenient. I have said it over and over again. There are still people who dare to ignore it. Damn it."
In contrast, Zhang Shipeng, Ji Shimei and others were much calmer. They had even expected that there would be various problems when they actually went to the battlefield, so they did not panic at all.
Everything just follows the rules.
How to deal with it.
The military regulations of the imperial camp are not empty words. Each military regulation has corresponding detailed treatment conditions.
Take the matter of secretly hiding trophies as an example. Depending on the amount of private possession, there will be different levels of punishment, ranging from fines with whips, to beatings with military sticks, to dismissal from the army, even imprisonment, to beheading.
It depends on how much you have hidden.
"Let the director of operations and camp lead the CCP Supervisory Army, the Military Justice Department, and the Military Police to jointly investigate and review. We must investigate and review clearly as soon as possible and come up with a result. I think it will be before dark, and then hold a meeting.
Rewards and punishments, let's do it together!" Zhu Shipeng said.
During the battle, the thieves killed some horses and mules. After the war, they also took out a lot of pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, etc. from the stronghold. These were all plundered and raised by the thieves, and now they are all confiscated.
The marching camp registers all the captured money, food and supplies. These are the military merits of the charging battalion. For example, if a war horse is captured, the sergeant can keep it for his own use, or he can turn it in. If he turns it in, the best war horse will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the inferior horse will be rewarded with ten taels of silver.
Or mules, etc. all have corresponding rewards.
All other materials seized must be returned to the public, but whoever seizes them will naturally be rewarded accordingly. For valuable items from armor to war horses, there are corresponding detailed standards.
However, as a battalion officer, Ji Congxiao had already announced that the stormtrooper battalion was a collective. Whether it was beheading or capturing, the reward would be shared directly among the collective. During the battle, beheading was not allowed, and merits were not recorded. However, while everyone had a share, they had to take the lead.
Yes, you can still get extra rewards for killing enemies.
Even if he didn't behead him on the battlefield to claim credit, he could still claim credit in the end. Not only did individual soldiers claim credit, but military credits at all levels also had to be rewarded. Everyone's credit, such as killing, vanguard, etc., must be rewarded.
Only the sergeants and officers in the same team can provide evidence.
Smoke rose from the village.
Stew meat and cook rice, the aroma is amazing.
Thousands of people gathered in the stockade. In fact, the few things captured were not much, but they could always be used as a tooth sacrifice.
"What to do with those people?"
"It depends on them individually. They can leave on their own, or they can choose to stay here, repair the stockade, and cultivate wasteland here. We can also give them some captured knives and guns and let them form a militia to defend themselves."
Zhu Wanhua proposed.
"If they are willing to stay, give them some of the captured grain." Zhang Shipeng said.
Afternoon.
The battlefield has basically been cleaned up. Zhang Shipeng and the others also talked with the representatives of the people who were rescued. Most of them expressed their willingness to stay. In these troubled times, where can they go?
At least there is still a foothold here, and Yuying promised to give them some food and weapons to help them repair the stockade. I heard that Yuying is now stationed in the Fenghuang Mountain area, and everyone thought that staying here might be a good choice.
As for the captured thieves, they were quickly interrogated and screened to identify who was an old thief, who was a new thief, who was being coerced, who had blood on his hands, who had eaten people, etc.
"Have you investigated the violation of military regulations over there?"
"It's all figured out,"
"Have you also sorted out the military exploits and captures in this battle?"
"It's all done."
Zhang Shipeng nodded, "Very good, then let's blow the trumpet to assemble, hold a meeting of rewards and punishments, and make a summary. This is the fine tradition of the imperial camp, and we must make good use of it."
Rewards should be rewarded in a timely manner and should not be delayed, and the same should be said for punishments, otherwise the effect will be weakened.
Beat the drum, blow the trumpet.
Gu Yin
Thousands of men and horses gathered in formation and divided into camps and outposts.
The rescued people in the village were watching with gratitude and curiosity. The captured bandits were still tied up, and they were all full of despair and fear.
Raise the flag.
Zhang Shipeng asked the commander-in-chief Shen Yuantai to read out the crimes of the bandits, and after counting the evidence of their crimes, announced their punishment. The Black Dragon King was dead, so his head was beheaded and hung in public, and then sent to the Phoenix Mountain Camp.
The remaining more than a hundred old thieves, including more than ten of their leaders, were all beheaded in public. The remaining old thieves also suffered heavy blood debts. However, the saint was always kind, so he was spared death and was assigned to the imperial camp as a slave and sent to the army in the rear for farming and labor reform.
Most of the remaining thousands of prisoners were just hungry refugees who had been coerced, so they were all released.
This decision is actually still controversial.
Zhang Shipeng thought it would be too easy for them to just release them. Ji Shimei thought they should cut off two toes before releasing them. However, Shen Yuantai, as the governor of the capital, believed that the current turmoil in Sichuan, the people were in trouble, and thieves were plundering and even preying on people everywhere.
The Western thieves massacred the city and killed people everywhere, and the former Ming army in Sichuan even often robbed the people. If the imperial camp did the same, it would not be a good thing.
The current situation in Sichuan is that if you kill thieves, you won't be able to kill them. After all, many thieves are actually just hungry people who gathered together to steal, or were threatened by thieves. As long as they are not old thieves and not burdened with blood debts, they should be pardoned. Only in this way can we
Slowly restoring the vitality of Shu also promotes the emperor's benevolence to the people of Shu.
Shen Yuantai also came from the south of the Yangtze River. He was the son of Shen Tingyang, the Minister of Household Affairs. He opposed mass killings.
He believed that only the chief culprit should be punished and the rest should be appeased as much as possible, and finally persuaded Zhang Shipeng and others.
They were released on the spot without even being whipped. Most people were willing to stay in Tangjiagou and form a village to reclaim wasteland together. They were also accepted by the people in Tangjiazhai. In troubled times, more people would be better.
Multiple self-protection powers.
"cut!"
A red ticket was thrown down.
More than a dozen old thieves were kidnapped and brought up by Wu Huada.
The executioners were not the imperial soldiers, but the newly-established militia members of Tangjiagou Village. They were awarded flags, swords, guns, bows and arrows by the imperial camp.
Now the first task of their militia team is to kill the dozen thieves who captured their village and committed serious crimes.
To be continued...
