Chapter 1039 The military law is as great as the sky (2)
It was the 14th day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye. If it were the past, the city of Tokyo would have been like a sea of lanterns, and the crowds would have been more lively than usual.
Because every Chinese New Year Festival, almost all the people in the city will come out to celebrate, and shops and merchants on various streets will inevitably use all their methods to create various lanterns to compete for beauty and attract the people. By night, the lanterns in the city will be as brilliant as the galaxy, and will be more brilliant than the stars and moons in the sky.
But all this came to an abrupt end in this year's New Year. Sun Tu led the thief army to fight, and everyone in the city was in danger. Who would focus on this matter again? So until today, there were not many lanterns in the entire Bianliang city, but there were much more pedestrians on the road than in the previous few days, and they were all rushing in one direction, that is, the most lively crossroads in front of Xiangguo Temple!
Just two days ago, accompanied by the sound of gongs, the troops of the fight against the bandits were already spread all over the city, and they were going to give a satisfactory explanation to many people who were suffering from military disasters. They also said that today they would use military laws to deal with the soldiers and generals who harmed the people. Even General Sun Tusun, the Marquis of Yue, came out to give everyone an explanation.
This has indeed aroused the curiosity of countless people. Everyone was a little relieved because of the rules and actions of the thief army after entering the city. Later, they were willing to accept the sue for senior officials in the court, which made the people feel better about them. Now, General Sun, the Marquis of Yue, who was regarded as a hero by countless people, came forward to explain everything, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
So even if the time is set after Si Shi, the genius is so bright that thousands of people have rushed to Xiangguo Temple from all directions in the cold wind. They are all going to Xiangguo Temple to watch the lights than before. After Chen Shi, tens of thousands of people gathered in this area of several miles, densely blocking all streets and alleys.
As a result, it is naturally cheaper to many restaurants and shops nearby, especially the second and third floors of each hotel, which are full of guests. The prices of the private rooms are rolling upwards, but even so, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of many people.
At this time, on the second floor of a restaurant, you can see at a glance the cross street situation in front of you, and several drinkers were drinking wine while commenting on the grand scene ahead.
"Tell me, what is the matter of the lord of Yue? He called out all these many people. How would he send his troops under his command?"
"How else can you do it is just a show of it. All the people have been killed, can he still kill his subordinates? If you really want to do this, I am afraid that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals under your command will not obey the orders."
"This is reasonable. If we talk about it, these thieves have been able to uphold military discipline. They just started to loot and kill people when they first entered the city. Now they are all honestly guarding the city gates and waiting for important points. They are not guilty of any crime against our people, and even more obedient than the previous imperial guards. They have already done this. I really don't think that the Yue Hou can still hold them accountable."
"But now tens of thousands of people have gathered to see what's going on. If you really lift the board up and put it down gently, how can Yue Hou give you an explanation?"
"Well, these officials always have a way to fool them. Let's just look at it. In my opinion, people should be kowtowed and pay some money to get things done. I have heard that the family that was killed was originally rich and unkind, and colluded with the government to harm many poor families. The soldiers and generals who killed their whole family were also their enemies. This can be regarded as a retribution for evil..."
Before this person could finish the news he had heard, his companion next to him suddenly pointed out the window and crossed the street: "Look, that guy is here." He immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It turned out that in the past few days, a high platform three or four meters high and twenty or thirty meters square had been temporarily built here, which allowed the people in the distance to clearly see the situation above. At this time, Sun Tu, dressed in military uniform, had already climbed up to the platform under the escorts of several personal guards. His whole person was so arrogant that the people around him felt awe at first sight, and even the buzzing discussion suddenly became lighter.
Sun Tu just glanced around, then raised the electronic loudspeaker in his hand, and said with a singular voice: "Dear fellow villagers in Tokyo, I am Sun Tu, the Marquis of Yue, here I am polite!" The voice rolled out, and all the noises around him were suppressed, which also shocked the people. They really didn't expect that Marquis of Yue could have such magical powers.
After rushing around to express my respect, Sun Tucai continued: "Now the Japanese Marquis asked someone to call you to come here just for two major events. One of them, I have already spread all over the city early, which is about some illegal things that my soldiers of the thief army did after entering the city. They not only robbed some innocent families, but also committed murder and destruction. This was definitely not the purpose of this Marquis when he first started his army, nor was it what I wanted to see.
"As early as our army came from the south of Youzhou, I had issued dozens of military orders in the army, the worst of which was to not hurt innocent people and loot the people. This is why our army came all the way and had few cities to resist. It is just because everyone knew that I came for justice and was not a bandit that harmed the people.
"But after entering Tokyo City, there were still soldiers who destroyed our military laws, not only plundered the troops, but also killed the people. This marquis has no choice but to pursue this matter, but also to give an explanation to the people in the city and the people of the world. Today, I will give you an explanation to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, tens of thousands of people around him became more interested, and the crowds also surged. If it weren't for the fact that there were thousands of elite soldiers surrounding the platform, I was afraid that the people would have destroyed the platform. At the same time, someone shouted loudly below: "General Sun, how do you plan to deal with those soldiers?" However, the voice was covered by more noises around and could not be transmitted far away at all.
But Sun Tu seemed to hear it, and silenced his face and said, "When the military law was established, my marquis stipulated that those who looted the people would be punished with fifty military sticks. But the facts of the past were too serious. To warn the entire army, my marquis decided that except for ordinary soldiers who only received fifty sticks, officers above the sergeant were all given eighty military sticks, and they would be punished in front of everyone here!"
"Boom..." The crowd suddenly exploded. No one expected that Sun Tu would be so cruel and so selfless. He said he wanted to punish the soldiers under his command, and he would really blame the soldiers under his command in front of everyone. Of course, some people were quite disdainful of this, and felt that Sun Tu would act like he would raise more than a dozen people to be punished at most.
But before they could say it, reality left them speechless. As Sun Tu finished speaking, hundreds of soldiers and generals had automatically come to the stage. They were wearing only one clothes, but they did not have the trembling intentions, and their expressions were quite calm. After looking at Sun Tu, they said in unison: "We have made a big mistake. Today, we are punished by the general and are convinced, and we dare not have any resentment!"
While they were talking, they removed their clothes in unison and knelt around the platform. Then, many soldiers came up with thick and long military sticks, and they were really going to use torture. It was not until this time that everyone knew why the platform was so big, and it was clearly for so many people to be tortured together.
"This... is he here? Those soldiers and generals are not even complaining at all..." Too many people were stunned. They really couldn't believe that there would be such an army.
However, Sun Tu was not busy ordering torture, but suddenly shed his clothes and exposed his strong upper body covered with scars - all the traces left during the battles. Even though he was as strong as Sun Tu, he suffered many traumas of all sizes in the years of fighting - it looked really shocking. Just as everyone exclaimed again, he whispered loudly: "Also, as the commander of the army, I failed to control the soldiers under my command and let them harass and kill the people. Of course they were wrong, Sun Tu's fault was even greater, so today I was also punished, doubled, and received a hundred military sticks!" After saying that, he put down the loudspeaker in his hand, and like everyone else, he knelt down.
There was a scene of exclamation just now. As soon as he finished speaking, he fell into a strange silence. No one spoke anymore. Everyone stared at Sun Tu on the platform blankly, unable to believe his ears and eyes.
Is this the world that he is familiar with? Isn’t this a world where power is a justification? Sun Tu clearly has a very high status, and no one dares to cause trouble for him even if he kills many people. How could he be willing to be punished in front of so many people for this "small matter"? And he was suffering such a heavy army stick...
I am not dreaming, right? If I weren't dreaming, how could such an unreasonable thing happen?
"General..." The military soldier standing behind Sun Tu with a stick couldn't help feeling embarrassed and timid. He raised the military stick but did not dare to wave it.
"Come on, this is a military order, and it is also a military law. I said that military law is as great as the sky! Since it is the military law I decided, it should start with me. One hundred military sticks, I, Sun Tu, can still bear it. Come on!" The last two words were almost roared, which made the soldiers behind him suddenly tremble. Finally, he turned his heart, bit his teeth, and suddenly waved the military stick in his hand, and then whistled it hard on Sun Tu's back, making a dull sound.
When the stick really fell on Sun Tu's back, the people below woke up as if they were dreaming and almost exclaimed at the same time - all this was true. General Sun really took the power to practice the law and accepted the military law in front of everyone!
At the same time, everyone on the stage also waved military sticks, and the sound of striking sounds were filled with bangs. A spectacular scene of punishment was presented to all the people without any concealment, and it also made them truly understand the strictness of the military law of Sun Tu's troops, which was not a joke...

Day...the day is halfway, and today is August 14th.
