Chapter 47: The Reins
Just as officers such as Chen Wen and Wu Dengke continued to discuss the results of today's training, there was a quarrel coming from the prison area on the other side of the school ground.
"What do you mean by yourself?"
Hearing the question from the Lord, both the pacifiers and the soldiers who were surrounded by the middle and the tortured were all bowed to the ground and claimed to be guilty of death.
After Chen Wen signaled them to get up, he asked and then understood what was going on.
It turned out that these soldiers violated the training discipline and were punished according to the laws. However, the reasons for each person were punished were different, so the number of whips was different. The tutor responsible for the execution drew more than a dozen even numbers in a row, and the last one was an odd number, but he habitually whipped another whip with his backhand.
After the thrusting, the scrubber immediately realized his mistake and quickly apologized. The soldier did not pay attention to the ground and sprained his foot after receiving the instructions of five steps. He violated the training regulations after Chen Wen left, so he was always dissatisfied with the punishment. At this moment, he was inexplicably punished another whip, so he naturally couldn't accept it. So he started arguing with the scrubber and threatened to pull the whip back to get it done.
As a result, the soldiers who were polite, and the punished soldiers also felt sad that the rabbit died and the fox stood together and refused to give up. So, the two sides quarreled and the situation almost broke out. Fortunately, Chen Wen saw that he heard the quarrel, so he rushed over with the officers.
Chen Wen knew that this soldier was a troublemaker in the team who was unforgivable, and he was almost always punished; while the polite soldiers were a very honest man. When he offered the appointment to recruit soldiers, he asked the polite soldiers to be responsible for giving the storyteller money. The task was completed very well, and he was not greedy for even a single piece of paper.
However, after learning the whole story, Chen Wen suddenly realized that this was clearly an opportunity. He picked up the soldier's waist card and looked at it, shouting loudly: "Ah Youfu, the captain of the fourth killer of the armored whistle, the spearman, intending to attack the marching judge, who is responsible for the marching judge. According to the regulations, the team members will be responsible for fifty rods, and the team members will be responsible for twenty-five rods according to the regulations, and immediately implement them!"
Hearing this, the spearman breathed a sigh of relief. The judge of the attack army and the judge of the attack army were completely punished. The former was a fifty-year-old man, and the latter was beheaded. Although he was so excited that he did not control his mouth, he always remembered the punishment method of the latter and did not take action. At this moment, he was quite glad that he only wrote the word "desire". And the other soldiers who were punished for their concerted efforts were nothing to say. After all, this is what the regulations were written, and others had been punished earlier.
Without bringing everyone to react, Chen Wen then said: "Lin Zhongxiao, the governor, changed the number of punishments without authorization. According to the regulations, whether this is done or not, it will be calculated based on the number of changes twenty times, and whip twenty times, and immediately implement it!"
Seeing that both of them accepted the penalty provisions already stated in this regulation, Chen Wen once again announced the next penalty.
"Guerrilla General Chen Wen, who is responsible for managing the battalion's troops, is unable to lead the troops effectively, citing the regulations to increase punishment, and thirty thirty thirty will be executed immediately!"
As soon as this said, the execution area suddenly became silent.
"General, this matter must not be like this!" Yin Yue immediately knelt on the ground on one knee. "If the general bears the punishment of whipping, he will be ridiculed by his colleagues in the future. You are the one who is worried about the humiliation of his ministers and the death of his ministers. This matter is related to our life, death, honor and disgrace. Husband begged the general to take it back."
"The general is begging to take back his life." As he said that, the execution area knelt down. Both officers and soldiers begged their generals to take back his life, even if their starting points are different.
Chen Wen shook his head. He didn't know how many people there had already understood his intention, but he had already made up his mind to do so.
"On the day of the army, I have said that the military law is above everyone in the camp and above the general. I have decided, so you don't need to say much, and you will be punished!" As he said that, Chen Wen began to take off his military uniform one by one. He was very glad that he did not have a slut in the mountain armor to check and train today, otherwise it would be even more troublesome to take it off.
In his opinion, if even the generals in the army cannot abide by the military laws and regulations, how can they require their subordinates? Once the military discipline is abolished, the soldiers will inevitably plunder the people when they violate his military laws. At that time, everything he did will be wasted. As Wang Yi said, if the royal army plunders the people, it is a thief, and he will never tolerate turning into a thief.
Taking off his military uniform from his shirt, Chen Wen stood under the rack of being whipped, picked up a short wooden stick and put it in his mouth. This thing was inspired by the first movie "The Stars Team". The male pig-legged Johnny Rick in that movie was once punished for violating the regulations and intending to withdraw from the army. However, he only planned to follow the example of the first half. After all, Buenos Aires is not yet possible to be destroyed by the Zerg, but Kyushu is about to fall into the hands of barbarians.
Then, he grabbed the rope that was hanging down on the side with both hands, put it on his hands, and said loudly: "From this general, I will execute the execution immediately!"
Perhaps it was because the execution area was too loud, and many officers and soldiers who had returned to the camp ran back to watch the fun. After all, this is a common hobby among the Chinese people. But what appeared in front of them at this moment was a scene they had never imagined, or even an unprecedented scene.
"What are you going to bend? Fight!"
Inside his ears was Chen Wen's roar that was squeezed by the short wooden stick in his mouth, and in his hand was a trembling whip. Lin Zhongxiao, who was in charge of execution, looked at the absurd scene in front of him and hesitated. When Chen Wen's word "touch" hit his eardrum at a speed of 340 meters per second, the pitiful scruple who was repeatedly tortured by the fear of violating military orders and whipping Shangguan gritted his teeth and raised his whip and whipped it over.
There was no expected pain, and the force was not right at all. Although Chen Wen had never tried the whip of this era, he knew that the power was not right at all because he didn't hurt at all, and the whip just rubbed his skin.
Before the scrupulous soldier beat the second time, Chen Wen immediately spitted out the short wooden stick and shouted sternly: "I don't remember to give you a message to you to go down the mountain to see your wife's holiday. Where did you use your strength?! You will beat it every day, you will use your strength today. You will use your strength while peeing while standing and use it and beat it harder!"
The hundreds of people present looked at all this in amazement, with shock on their faces. The scene just now had already shocked many people, and the scene now even killed the brains of the soldiers who thought Chen Wen would assuming that the tutors would lift up high and gently put them down.
Just as everyone's brains were restarted, the scrupulous soldier was determined and whipped hard.
"Hiss..." Chen Wen took a deep breath. It hurts. No wonder many soldiers will do their best to do what they should do after being pumped once, in case they violate military discipline again and are punished.
"two!"
Hearing Chen Wen's cry, the scrubber put aside his concerns for the time being and pulled down again...
Every time he whipped, Chen Wen would silently count the number of whip he had already whipped in his heart, and then shout out the next number loudly.
Three, four, five, six…
It hurts so much! Although Chen Wen, who grew up in a honey pot filled with grandparents, grandparents and parents, was beaten because of his naughtyness, has never been beaten like this.
11, 12, 13, 14...
Can it hurt a little more? He has never done anything about running or jumping. He has never done anything about chasing and fighting. When he was in school, he jumped off the school wall to rush to go online. Perhaps only the last fall can be compared with the moment just now.
Nineteen strokes, twenty strokes, twenty strokes, twenty strokes...
You are so awesome, it will hurt even more. Every time he hit Chen Wen, he felt that it might be difficult for him to persevere, but every time he silently recited in his heart, he would shout out the next number loudly. Because he knew that everything he had done today would be rewarded in the future. Although he had been in society for many years, he knew that his efforts might not necessarily be rewarded, but he believed that everything today would never be like this.
Twenty-seven strokes, twenty-eight strokes, twenty-nine strokes, thirty strokes!
It was finally over, Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, the Han men of this era did not lack the courage to fight, and they were willing to defend the civilized clothes and hats with their flesh and blood. But having these alone was not enough. The Chinese civilization of this era faced the most cunning and fierce enemy in history, and even the Mongol Empire that almost ruled the entire Eurasian continent was far from as good as that. Because this barbarian from the Tungus Icefield brought the cunning and fierce nature of its fishing and hunting nation to the extreme, especially in terms of cunning, even the Jurchens who were recognized as their ancestors would pale in comparison.
But even so, the Southern Ming Dynasty in history did not have a chance to turn the tables. At least Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong had such opportunities. However, due to various reasons and accidents, they did not achieve the final victory, thus reversing the fate of China being stolen by barbarians like Yue Fei.
Chen Wen knew very well that he did not have the ability to use troops like Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong, nor did he have the identity of the four princes in the West and the young owner of the Zheng group. What he started from scratch had was the thoughts and knowledge that were opened and summarized by people from later generations, as well as his firm belief in reversing the future, and the courage to sacrifice himself for this.
But having these is not enough. To defeat such a powerful enemy, one must build a new army that is completely different from other armies of this era.
Chen Wen has read many historical novels in his previous life, including many who built modern or modern armies to defeat feudal armies. Throughout history, he can also understand the ideas of the authors of these works. Because in history, modern armies, as sophisticated and cold-blooded as mechanical, rarely lose to feudal armies that rely on personal bravery to win, and modern armies that are infused with national or class beliefs on the basis of modern armies can defeat modern armies like a destruction, even if these losers have stronger military strength and better equipment.
The reason for determining these outcomes is actually very simple, because the winner can carry out more arduous marchs and battles than the losers, and can withstand a larger casualty ratio. There is no reason for an army that is far more daring to sacrifice than the opponent to fail, unless the opponent's technology tree has climbed out a black technology that ignores human courage.
Chen Wen's initial idea was to find an island that could block the Qing army, build a modern army under the wings of a boss-level figure, and then push the Qing Dynasty. Even if this modern army growing on the soil of feudal society would eventually grow into a monster like the Beiyang New Army in the late Qing Dynasty, it would be a waste of time, because the feudal army in this era would not be able to defeat this monster.
However, the time when he talked about ancient times to form a team to Fujian made him realize that he was wrong, and that he was outrageous. Chen Wen knew very well that he was not wrong that such a freak could defeat the feudal army, but that he was wrong about the consequences of establishing such an army and why he had a better choice and left it alone.
During the time when he was telling ancient times, he told many stories. The stories of Zhu Yuanzhang, Yue Fei, Ban Chao, Chen Qingzhi, Chen Tang, Fu Jiezi, Geng Gong, Wang Xuance, Qi Jiguang and others were all told from him, and the most labor-intensive and favorite was the story of Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang. He even didn't know why.
It was not until that night that Sun Yu's words "Eat the people's salaries and ask for their lives" that completely awakened him, because both of them had established an army that took saving the people as their mission, and the army they established also defeated the barbarians who enjoyed harming the people on the battlefield with the ambition to save the people. It was also on that day that he finally understood that he actually had a better choice.
A scholar who is powerless can fight for the people. Why can't I rebuild an army that is willing to save all the people?
However, it is extremely difficult to rebuild such an army. Not to mention the more distant Yue Family Army, rebuilding the Qi Family Army is not enough to compile the Yuanyang Formation or to compile the battle formations in it according to Qi Jiguang's military book. The most important thing for an army is the military soul. If the military soul cannot be injected into it again, what he has compiled is nothing more than a walking corpse supporting the skin of the Qi Family Army.
The Qi family army of Qi Jiguang at that time had the belief of destroying Japanese pirates and protecting the people of China, and also had a sense of mission that was derived from it. In addition, the Qi family army had high material rewards as the basis, and at the same time, relying on strict military laws to limit the fighting desire of this army to killing barbarians rather than harming the people. It is precisely because of this that the Qi family army was able to wipe out Japanese pirates and sweep the northern enemy. Even after Qi Jiguang's death, the officers he promoted and the army established still fought against barbarians under this belief and remained unswerving to death.
Chen Wen firmly believes that only such an army can turn the situation around in the current extreme and harsh situation and rewrite the historical process!
In the fourth year of Yongli, the Ming Dynasty was in danger, and the Chinese civilization was about to suffer the greatest catastrophe in history. So much so that by the time when Chen Wen was born, the sequelae left by this catastrophe was far from over.
Faced with such a situation, the army that Chen Wen wanted to establish needed to have the belief and sense of mission to expel the Tartars, restore China, and save the people. They needed strict training, strict military laws and made them firmly believe that as long as they were under Chen Wen's banner, it would no longer be a dream system to leave a name in history and wealth and glory. Only in this way can the military spirit be recast and the powerful army that has been truly copied in the history of China.
After this period of training, this seed unit has begun to have a certain belief in the slogan of rebuilding the Qi family army and the replicating the Qi family army's battle formation and training methods over the past few days, and has gradually improved its combat effectiveness by relying on extremely rigorous training.
However, in the current situation where the Qing army is about to face the encirclement and suppression, these are quite insufficient. In this regard, Chen Wen could only rely on improving the living benefits of his subordinates and implementing the regulations to stabilize the morale of the army, so as to conduct more arduous training in order to improve combat effectiveness.
Chen Wen knew that his talent was not as good as Qi Jiguang's. He even could not put it together with many good generals who were good at using troops in this era, such as Tian Xiong, Jin Li and others whom he was about to face. Therefore, he had done his best in the best of his ability since the founding of the army.
Perhaps the allusion of Qi Jiguang killing his son is just a fairy tale woven by later generations to describe the strict military law of the Qi family army, but from today on, he believes that the story of Chen Wen's punishment will warn every officer and soldier in this army with the same truth.
Everyone is equal in the face of military law!
His hands broke free from the rope cover, and Chen Wen silently picked up his underwear and draped it on his body. The whipped blood soon wet and dyed red the fabric that blocked its presence, and this scene was completely imprinted in the hearts of everyone present.
Every officer and soldier were watching all this. They had not realized at this moment that the scene in front of them would be a story that many people here would tell relatives and friends over and over again in the future. This story would also be recorded in history books, and the names of these witnesses will be recorded in history books.
At this time, Chen Wen shouted to everyone present: "Please remember that what we want to build is a just army like the Yue Family Army and the Qi Family Army that takes saving the people of China as our mission, so we must work more than those battalions and soldiers, because we are the royal army to protect the country and safeguard the people, not the thief who can destroy the people. Only in this way can we restore the Han world as we did when our dynasty founded, and each of us can glorify our ancestors and be famous in history!"
In the midst of a heavy breathing silence filled with awe and worship, Chen Wen issued the next order.
"Continue to execute!"
