Chapter 425 Anxi's Shock (Part 1)
The atmosphere at the Anxi Daying School has never been so cold and depressing.
When Gu Qing was the governor of the army, although the soldiers of Anxi camp were exhausted in training every day, everyone was in a good mood. They knew that the commander was generous and the generals treated the soldiers fairly and justly. As long as they were willing to work hard, they might also be able to win the top 100 trainings every day, get a reward of dozens of cents or a large bowl of stewed mutton.
After Gu Qing left, Pei Zhounan's style of military management was completely different from that of Gu Hou. He ordered the suspension of rewards and meat as soon as he took office. There was no incentive for him to do so. He only knew how to brainwash the emperor and the country all day long. For the soldiers, such days were hopeless.
It was already very depressed and depressed, but today Pei Zhounan openly ordered the beheading of a soldier. The depressed atmosphere in the camp became increasingly depressed, and all kinds of negative emotions lingered in the hearts of the soldiers, resentment, resentment, and indifference. Everyone stared at Pei Zhounan on the platform, and everyone's eyes were so cold and terrible.
Pei Zhounan was also furrowed all over by being stared at, and he felt a little regretful.
The order to behead the moment seemed a little harsh. Looking at the eyes of the soldiers below, he found that he had aroused public anger.
"General Chang, General Chang, please let the soldiers return to the camp. Today... I won't practice anymore." Pei Zhounan held back the trembling in his heart and said softly.
Chang Zhong held his fists and lowered his head: "Yes."
Then Chang Zhong turned around, waved the flag in his hand, and shouted: "Take it back with all the troops!"
Pei Zhounan nodded with satisfaction, and regardless of the soldiers' reactions, he hurriedly got off the platform and hurriedly returned to the handsome tent.
Back at the coach's tent, Pei Zhounan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly.
It is really not easy for literati to govern the Military Commission. Literary and martial artists belong to different classes, and the conflict between the two sides is too great. What they naturally believe is not necessarily the truth for martial artists.
The martial artist is vulgar and only recognizes interests. Pei Zhounan is particularly disliked to keep interests at his lips. After reading the books of sages over the years, he recognizes the fearless spirit of being loyal to the emperor and serving his family and country. Even if there are thousands of people, I will go there, and the principles of sages who sacrifice their lives for justice. As for money and power, they are disdainful to true scholars.
Pei Zhounan is such a scholar.
After sitting alone in the handsome tent for a while, Pei Zhounan thought a lot.
He was also reflecting on whether he was too strict with the soldiers of the Anxi Army. He was so furrowed that he was staring at the cold eyes of the soldiers just now, and Pei Zhounan felt a little scared in his heart.
Tens of thousands of soldiers in Anxi have been so lawless that they have been so habitual that they have left too many accumulated problems. If they want to correct them, they can only slowly take action. Today is really a bit too much. I will stop and discuss it. It will be safe to comfort the soldiers.
After a long time, Pei Zhounan suddenly felt something was wrong.
Just now, he ordered the soldiers to return to the camp. Logically speaking, there should be countless messy footsteps outside the tent, so why is it still so silent outside?
Pei Zhounan felt nervous and hurried out of the handsome tent.
There were only a few guards from the law enforcement team who acted as personal guards outside the tent, and there was no one else.
Pei Zhounan immediately burst into cold sweat and his face turned pale.
Silence is not necessarily a sign of auspiciousness, something is going to happen!
So Pei Zhounan ran to the schoolyard like crazy, and the guards of the law enforcement team hurriedly followed.
A moment later, Pei Zhounan rushed to the school ground, but saw that the Anxi soldiers were still standing in line in an order on the school ground, and the crowd was filled with darkness.
The queue of tens of thousands of people was silent, no one made any sound, and his eyes were still coldly staring at the empty platform.
Chang Zhong, Li Siye, Chen Tian, Liu Hongbo and other generals stood in front of the queue, looking at each other helplessly.
Pei Zhounan didn't care much and stomped his feet and shouted: "General Chang, take the generals back to the camp. Have you not heard of my commander's military order?"
Chang Zhong's face turned cold and turned around and said, "Pei Jieshuai, the general has issued an order, but none of the soldiers moved. They stood still. The general is incompetent and can do nothing to them."
Li Siye, Chen Tian and others said in unison: "I will be incompetent."
Pei Zhounan said sternly: "Chang Zhong, Li Siye, what are you going to do? Are you going to rebel? Take it back to the camp immediately, and you are not allowed to gather, right away! Otherwise, military law will not be tolerated!"
Chang Zhong had no choice but to turn around and face the soldiers, waved the flag in his hand vigorously, and shouted loudly: "The officials and brigade commanders of various battalions will immediately bring the soldiers under their command back to the camp, otherwise the military law will be ruthless!"
The school ground was still silent and no one moved.
Pei Zhounan's face became paler, his heart fell into the bottom of the valley, and cold sweat kept coming out, flowing down his forehead.
If there is a stalemate, something big will happen, and tens of thousands of people will gather together. Once someone incites one sentence, just one sentence will take place, and tens of thousands of Anxi soldiers will really mutiny.
The court has always been ruthless to the mutiny soldiers, and he, as the head coach, will not end up much better.
Pei Zhounan regretted his decision just now. The sergeant who interrupted should not have been killed. With one slash, he completely aroused the conflict between the commander and the soldiers.
Pei Zhounan was anxious and ran to the platform, shouting with a hoarse voice: "The soldiers will return to the camp. Start tomorrow. Every day of practice will be rewarded! There will be rewards for money!"
Still no one moved, the soldiers' eyes were still cold. Pei Zhounan's eyes were in contact with them, and his heart became more and more frightened. He knew that he, the governor, had completely lost prestige in the Anxi army, in other words, he had lost control of this army.
No one took his power, he did it himself.
A chill in my heart, Pei Zhounan thought a lot of thoughts at this moment, including the way Gu Qing governed the army in the past.
Why is Gu Qing as strict as the Anxi Army when he was in the same army, and his daily training was constantly interrupted, but he was consistently supported by the soldiers of the Anxi Army. The same thing happened to him, Pei Zhounan, but the result was completely different.
What went wrong?
Pei Zhounan was puzzled, and the silent soldiers in front of him also made him realize his mistake.
The Anxi Army was not profit-oriented. He just said in public that he would start practicing tomorrow to reward money, but the soldiers' expressions did not show any joy.
The soldiers love money, but they do not refuse everyone.
Pei Zhounan became more and more anxious. The longer the time delayed, the greater the possibility of a mutiny of tens of thousands of soldiers. Only by letting the soldiers return to the camp and preventing them from gathering together can the mutiny be avoided.
Seeing Pei Zhounan's face getting paler, Li Siye was also a little anxious.
If the Anxi Army mutiny is not good for anyone, the court will definitely punish them severely. Maybe they will treat them as rebels. Everyone’s parents, wives and children are still in Guanzhong. How can they cause such a disaster for a moment of indignation?
So Li Siye took two steps forward, stared at his troops Modao Camp, and shouted: "The soldiers of Modao Camp, return to the camp immediately."
The three thousand soldiers in the Modao Camp showed a little restlessness.
The three thousand Modao camps are quite complicated. They were formed by Li Siye himself. Not only were there people dug up from various units of the Anxi Army, but also the young and strong people, as well as those dug up from the Hexi Army in Liangzhou City.
The members come from all directions and are still in the running-in stage. Li Siye's authority in Modao Camp is unique.
Pei Zhounan shouted several times but no one paid attention to him. Li Siye only said one sentence but made Mo Daoying start to move. Sanqian Mo Dao hand still stood still, but his expression was clearly shaken.
Seeing this, Li Siye couldn't help but calm down and said coldly: "A bunch of wolf cubs, my words don't work, right? Get back to the camp, otherwise don't blame me for using military law!"
With the roar, the Modao Camp finally moved.
The Modaomen reluctantly walked out of the school field, but Li Siye was not polite. Seeing that someone was slower, he kicked him up. The soldiers did not resist and silently left the school field and returned to the tent under the urging of Li Siye.
Someone took the lead, so the rest of the Anxi army soldiers naturally had no reason to insist on resisting. So, under the scolding of Chang Zhong Chentian and other generals, they all returned to the camp one after another.
Until the last soldier left the school ground, Pei Zhounan, who was standing on the platform, finally breathed a sigh of relief. His legs became weak and he unconsciously collapsed on the ground, his back was wet.
Today... I'm lucky enough to survive a disaster.
Pei Zhounan has realized his mistake. He decided from tomorrow that everything in the Anxi army will be done in Gu Qing's previous way. The four words "Xiao Gui Cao Sui" make sense after all.
The soldiers of the Anxi Army could no longer be stimulated. Pei Zhounan clearly felt that their nerves were already tense and almost broke today.
As for the consequences of breaking... Pei Zhounan dared not even think about it.
No matter what, today's level has been almost over.
…………
That night, at midnight.
Everything in the camp was silent, and the soldiers still went to bed early as usual. There were only soldiers patrolling the sword in the camp. With the sound of footsteps of armor leaves colliding, under the moonlight in the desert in the distance, the howlings of jackals came in a distant distance.
Everything is so normal, no different from the past.
In an ordinary camp, the soldiers lying in their clothes were still asleep. The camp was pitch black, but the soldiers were chatting.
"Captain Huo, we have a fuss on the school ground today. Will Pei Jieshuai hold grudges and find an opportunity to cure our crimes in the future?"
Huo Chang huo said, "How do I know? There was almost a big incident today. If there was a mutiny, none of us would escape, and the court would definitely pursue it."
Another soldier said, "I was originally obeying military orders, but you didn't move, and I didn't dare to move..."
"The literati will become more and more chaotic when governing the army. In the future, our Anxi Army will probably be messed up by him. It's a pity that the foundation left by Mr. Gu..."
"I also heard that literati hold grudges. Today we let Pei Jieshuai get out of Taiwan, and I'm afraid this matter will not be good. Today he is just temporarily calming us down, and he will definitely divide our Anxi army one by one in the future and seek opportunities to take revenge."
The soldiers in the camp became more and more anxious and hurriedly said, "Captain Huo, we won't be really punished by Pei Jieshuai, are we?"
