Chapter 84: Punishing Military Discipline

Leigong Mountain Camp.

More than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye. The four thousand veterans have fully mastered the key points of three-stage strikes and have also learned to throw dragon king cannons with handles. Whether it is the Thousand or the Hundred, these veterans can arrange their shooting formations in the shortest time, and then take turns to shoot under the command of the Thousand General Manager.

Unfortunately, there is no way to shoot live!

Because the number of flintlock muskets and Dragon King cannons with handles transported to the camp was not large, and gunpowder was also very scarce, and these supplies were all distributed by the Ministry of Works, and there was no gunpowder workshop in Datong, even if Wang Pu had money, he could not buy them.

Fortunately, these 4,000 people are all veterans. They have long been used to seeing blood and hearing gunshots. Even without live ammunition training, they will never be at a loss on the battlefield, let alone explode.

What made Wang Pu feel relieved was the individual quality of these 4,000 people. These people were either veterans of war who crawled out of the pile of dead people, or thieves who killed countless people. Whether it was riding, shooting, close combat with cold weapons or the use of firearms, they could be described in the words of exquisiteness!

They not only have excellent combat skills, but also have a cold and tenacious will!

As long as Wang Pu can fulfill his promise in public, as long as Wang Pu can arouse the resonance in their hearts and make them truly regard themselves as Wang Pu's soldiers from the bottom of their hearts, it is completely imagined that these 4,000 people will become a terrifying elite soldier!

Whether it is a thief or a Jiannu, they will be ruthlessly crushed by this elite soldier.

However, not everything is wonderful. The combat effectiveness of these four thousand elite soldiers satisfies Wang Pu, but their military discipline makes Wang Pu feel a headache! Eight hundred horse thieves are used to fighting for family robbery and robbing, and the three thousand veterans are passive and lazy because they are used to being defeated soldiers. Even Wang Pu’s original two hundred clans are not much better.

It is not easy to build these 4,000 people into well-trained and disciplined iron-blooded warriors.

But no matter how difficult it is, Wang Pu must do this well. If these four thousand people cannot be given strict discipline, they will only become a group of arrogant soldiers and the more they win, the more arrogant they will become. In the end, when Wang Pu cannot restrain them, they will dig their own graves and then destroy themselves.

In ancient Chinese history, there were many such troops. They were good at fighting but did not have strict discipline. In the end, when their military victory reached a brilliant peak, they quickly disappeared.

When Wang Pu was alone in Liaodong, he was indulging more than a thousand servants to survive!

But now, Wang Pu will never do this again. What he needs now is not a group of barbaric wolves. He wants to be a group of disciplined iron-blooded warriors!

Wang Pu's account.

Zhen Youcai bent over and went into the big tent with his hands, and asked Wang Pu: "General, are you looking for a villain?"

"Talented." Wang Pu frowned, "I have told you many times, don't call yourself a villain in the future."

"Oh. Yes." Zhen Youcai patted his forehead and smiled bitterly, "Look at the little man's memory. When he meets the general, he will claim to be a humble position. Hehe."

Wang Pu smiled bitterly and shook his head, waved to Zhen Youcai and said, "Come on, come and see this."

Zhen Youcai walked to the case and saw a large piece of red paper on the case. The three eye-catching characters "Seven Big Tips" were written vertically on the left center of the red paper, and the seven lines of detailed rules on the right, respectively:

Article 1 of the Military Rules: Those who disobey military orders will be killed without mercy;

Article 2 of the Military Rules: Those who commit murder on their own will be killed without mercy;

Article 3 of the Military Rules: Those who rape women from the Ming Dynasty will be killed without mercy;

Article 4 of the Military Rules: Those who loot the people of the Ming Dynasty will be killed without mercy;

Article 5 of the Military Rules: Those who gather to make money will be beaten to eighty in public;

Article 6 of the Military Rules: Those who have privately seized shall be beaten to eighty in public;

Article 7 of the Military Rules: Those who trample on crops shall whip eighty in public;

Zhen Youcai looked carefully for a while and said carefully: "General. Is there a saying that I don't know if I should say it?"

Wang Pu said: "If you have anything, just say it."

Zhen Youcai said: "I thought the first, second, and sixth articles were nothing to say. But the other four seem to be a bit of a big deal, such as rape of women and looting the people. I thought that whipping eighty was enough. As for gathering people to play money and trampling on crops, I thought that whipping twenty was at most could not be punished."

"No, you were wrong." Wang Pu shook his head and said, "The military must be governed strictly, especially the two robbery of the Ming women and looting the people of the Ming Dynasty. They must be severely punished. Do you know why with talent?"

Zhen Youcai said: "Please solve the problem by the general."

Wang Pu said: "Mencius said that people are the most important, and the country is the second most important. The king is the least important. The people are the people. What are the people? The people are the cornerstone of our Ming Dynasty! What we eat is planted by the Ming people, what we wear is textured by the Ming people, and what we use is also created by the Ming people. If we do not protect the people, then we will cut off our foundation!"

"General's clarification." Zhen Youcai said solemnly, "I have made a humble statement."

As soon as Zhen Youcai finished speaking, Xiao Qi suddenly entered the door and reported, "General, something happened."

Wang Pu asked, "What happened?"

Xiaoqi said: "Scarface and the bearded man each led a team of people to fight for money at the foot of Leigong Mountain, trampling the wheat fields of the nearby people. A young farmer said a few words and was tied up by Scarface. After a long time of beating, Scarface also threatened to burn their village."

"Bang!"

"It's outrageous!" Wang Pu slapped the table and said angrily, "I'm using money, trampling on crops, and oppressing the people of the Ming Dynasty. I suddenly got into the three major military rules. I was so tired of living!"

Xiaoqi said in surprise: "General, what three major lines?"

Wang Pu shouted: "Let Tang Sheng, Monk Zhang and all the hundreds of households gather outside the gate immediately!"

"yes."

Xiaoqi responded and took the order.

Under the Thunderbolt Mountain.

The beard between the bearded man and the scarfaced face has ended. It is said that it is because he has been in the mountain for more than half a month. In addition to training, he has been exhausted every day. So, he finally didn't need to train today. The two of them came down the mountain with a group of people.

Several wheat fields used by the two of them as the slaughter field were already messy, and the green seedlings that had just grown a little disappeared. A young farmer was hanging under the old locust trees on the edge of the field. However, the cold weather was stripped of his shirt and covered with scars.

The bearded man lost the game and paid a few dollars to buy ten kilograms of beef, a few packets of peanuts, and another five kilograms of wine from the grocery store in the village. At this time, he was eating and drinking with Scarface. When the two were in great pleasure, a close friend suddenly ran over to report: "Two bosses, it seems that a large group of people have come down on the mountain."

"Yeah?"

The bearded man and Scarface looked back indifferently, and they saw that there was already rolling smoke and dust rising from the road down the mountain from Leigong Mountain Camp. The faint sound of horse hooves could be heard from a distance, just like the thunder in the sky. It looked at the momentum that had to be at least dozens of riders.

"Fuck." Scarface scratched his head and said in confusion, "Who could this be?"

"No matter who he is." The bearded man said indifferently, "It won't be a general anyway, drink your wine."

"Yes." Scarface nodded, raised his wine bowl and shouted. "Come on, drink and drink."

After a short while the two of them drank, the confidants beside them shouted: "General, it's the general here!"

"The general is here?"

The bearded man and Scarface were stunned for a moment. When he looked back, he saw Wang Pu wearing heavy armor and riding a horse with dozens of riders. The two of them did not notice Wang Pu's embarrassing face. Scarface laughed and picked up the wine bowl to greet Wang Pu, laughing and said, "Haha, General, you are a coincidence, come. The villain wishes you a bowl."

Wang Pu didn't get off the horse and drove the horse to the two of them.

At this time, dozens of cavalry following Wang Pu also rode their horses up, and the scarfaced and bearded man saw it in a tangent, and found that the person coming was Zhen Youcai, Tang Sheng, Zhang and dozens of other generals. This guy, almost all the generals above the generals in the camp came.

Scarface had already found that Wang Pu's face was a little wrong. He asked carefully: "General. Are you..."

Wang Pu walked up to the two of them, pointed the whip in his hand at the young farmer hanging under a tree not far away. He said calmly: "Let the person go."

"Oh." Scarface responded and quickly said to the two servants around him, "Go, go and let the person go."

"Slow down!" Wang Pu stopped the two servants and said in a deep voice: "Go."

"Okay, the villain will go."

Scarface did not dare to be negligent, so he ran to the ground to put the young farmer down. After thinking about it, he took off his bearskin cloak and put it on him. Unexpectedly, the farmer was quite strong and threw the scarface cloak underground.

Scarface was furious and slapped the farmer in the face. Unexpectedly, it was easily distracted by someone. The farmer even kicked Scarface on the butt and kicked him a dog to eat shit. When Scarface got up, his face had turned into a pig's liver.

"I've chopped you alive!"

Scarface roared angrily, and he was about to pull the knife with his backhand.

Wang Pu suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

Scarface did not dare to disobey Wang Pu's military order, so he had to glar at the farmer fiercely and slowly returned to Wang Pu's side, while still in the mood to mock himself: "General, this kid is ignorant, the villain just wants to swear and swear, there is no other meaning, hehe."

Wang Pu ignored the scar face and pointed the horse whip in his hand at the wheat field that was trampled to the point of being completely distorted, saying, "Who are the people who trampled on the wheat field? Let me stand up for this general."

The bearded man, scarfaced and the servants who followed the two of them down the mountain to beat Ju all changed their faces. Now they realized that the general was going to get angry, but they still stood up happily. Everyone stood in a row in front of Wang Pu's horse, but they all lowered their heads and dared not look at Wang Pu's cold eyes.

The whip in Wang Pu's hand suddenly fell down without warning, and thrust hard on the face of the bearded man standing at the front. With a crisp sound of a trumpet, a striking blood mark appeared on the bearded man's face. The bearded man was stunned for a moment and raised his head suddenly, then thrust his chest hard.

"Boom!"

Another crisp sound, Wang Pu's horse whip was already whipping hard on the Scarface, who was standing on the second one. A striking blood mark quickly appeared on the Scarface, which happened to be intertwined with the terrifying scar, making the guy's face look even more ferocious and terrifying.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The crisp sound of whips was endless. Wang Pu rode his horse slowly by the lined up by the servants, but the whip in his hand ruthlessly whipped everyone's face, one by one. It was not until the last whip that Wang Pu rode his horse slowly walked back to the bearded man and others, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you dissatisfied?"

The bearded man and scarred face raised their heads and said in unison: "I don't agree!"

"Okay, dare to act and take responsibility, say what you have, it's man!" Wang Pu nodded and turned to Zhen Youcai and said, "Jin joined the army and read to them the seven major battle rules that this general had just formulated!"

Zhen Youcai immediately stepped forward and began to chant loudly:

Article 1: Those who disobey military orders will be killed without mercy;

Article 2: Those who commit murder on their own people will be killed without mercy;

Article 3: Those who rape women from the Ming Dynasty will be killed without mercy;

Article 4: Those who loot the people of the Ming Dynasty will be killed without mercy;

Article 5: Those who gather to play money will whip eighty in public;

Article 6: Those who have privately collected and seized will be beaten in public for eighty;

Article 7: Those who trample on crops will whip eighty in public!
