Chapter 264: Judgment by Martial Arts
I'll go!
When the county magistrate heard such a fierce disguise, he fainted immediately. He had never encountered such a weird thing, but it seemed that his explanation was correct. It was really not called dereliction of duty for officials who had collected money and did not do anything. In principle, it could indeed be considered a firm stance for the sake of justice. Although this is a bit vulgar, he has no way to deal with it.
When you encounter such a big gangster, anyone will be very depressed.
Although Zeng Nong had impulsive and barbaric bloodline, he was not stupid. He knew that Gao Fangping was clearly looking for a mistake this time, so he suppressed his anger and gave his sons a look, so he let them rest assured.
Afterwards, Zeng Nong clasped his fists and laughed, "It's been hard for me to come from afar. My city in Zengtou is full of good people. You don't need to worry too much. Why don't you enter the village with the young man and serve you with good tea?"
Gao Fangping nodded and stepped on the horse and walked with them.
Zeng Nong and Sui Ren all looked ashen and their cheeks began to twitch slightly. As the blood of the Jurchen warrior, he had a horse but could not ride it, but he had to follow the "official master" riding a horse to accompany him. This shame has never been seen in his life.
After walking a few miles, he entered the Zeng family village.
In a small school yard, there are nearly two hundred people practicing gun and stick skills.
The array was quite neat, and following the practice of one move among the Han people, there was no magical point. The military training of this era was like this, and Xu Lin's personal military camp was also like this.
Of course, Su Ding, the one who taught them the skills. Water Margin did not describe this person much, so Gao Fangping had almost no impression and was not interested at all.
Most of the militias of more than 200 people were Hanwa, the young and middle-aged people in the villages, who were invited or "forced" to them.
About a quarter of them were Jurchens. The Jurchen knights did not follow the militia to practice guns and sticks, but shouted and rode on horseback to practice guerrilla techniques.
The barbarians are barbarians. The difficult movements they do are suspected of making shows, but they also show Hanwa's unmatched skills in controlling horses. At least the Yongle Army is absolutely incomparable. As for the young army in the Youth Academy who was enlightened since childhood under the guidance of equestrians, that is of course another concept.
I stopped and looked at it. Originally, Gao Fangping was also staying at the forefront of being a human being and not bullying people to the point of being full of anger. But when the Jurchen knights seemed to show off, they rode their horses around the Hutou camp intentionally or unintentionally, polluting the environment and causing dust everywhere, Gao Fangping was also choked.
So the great devil was annoyed and said, "I seem to have issued an order. No one must be on the horse during the inspection? Did you forget the person who sent the order, or did these people deliberately disobey after receiving the order?"
A son who had once made a move came out, his anger had reached its extreme, and he clasped his fists coldly and said, "Sir, the dignity of the Jurchen warriors cannot be insulted. They are warriors and will not dismount. According to the rules of the Song people, my father, as the main general, has already dismounted and treated him."
"Oh?" Gao Fangping thought for a while and said, "The Song army does have this rule, but it was during the war. As far as I know, there are no Jurchen soldiers in the Song Dynasty, but only Jurchen expatriates. You are fighting with the Liao Kingdom. Why don't you serve your nation as soldiers? If you are afraid of death, why do you claim to be a soldier?"
"you!"
The Jurchen knights who were all showing off came around, shouting and shouting.
Zeng Nong was startled and saw that Yongle army was immediately in combat. He held the hilt of the knife tightly. Zeng Nong hurriedly scolded: "Retreat, sir, you have an order, you must not get close to him within ten feet, and you will also dismount me!"
Now, the dozens of Jurchen knights retreated and dismounted one after another, but they looked full of righteous indignation.
Gao Fangping was not surprised when he was unhappy and was not satisfied with it. He thought for a while and said, "The problem seems to be solved? However, it is useless. Now the Yongle army is marching with no jokes in the army. Are you deaf? I asked, "There is the order for all the people to dismount. Is it because these Jurchen knights deliberately disobeying their orders, or is it that someone lied to report my order?"
I once had a blue face and my cheeks began to twitch. In a fantasy movie, I was about to turn into a werewolf on the full moon night.
"Enter the combat state!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Shi Wengong gave an order with Fang Tian Huaji.
Zeng Nong sighed, and finally had to bow his head, clasp his fists and said, "Report to the Lord, it's not that they disobey orders, but that the person who sent the order did not make it clear."
Of course, he had only protected dozens of people, but gave up one person.
The person who sent the order was of course the Jurchen Knight who had intercepted Gao Fangping earlier. He was also following Zeng Nong's side.
After being winked by Zeng, the guy went out of the line and knelt on the ground and shouted angrily: "I can't tell you the order clearly. Since it's a mistake, you should punish me if you want to punish me!"
Gao Fangping waved his hand and said, "Drag it down and chop it."
"What!"
Unexpectedly, they all took the lead in the same way except for the one who had done so seriously.
Gao Fangping said: "The violation of the order is extremely serious, which almost led to my official belief that Zengtou City declared war on the Song Dynasty and that if it did not kill it, it would be unreasonable. This is a blasphemy against the Jurchens and the Song Dynasty."
So, in full view of everyone, he was tied up and prepared to behead his head.
"I am not convinced! According to the tradition of our clan, you can blame me, but I ask for a decisive victory in the competition. Victory is justice, and failure is sin!"
The Jurchen warrior tied up by Sergeant Yongle jumped and roared like a wild beast.
Gao Fangping couldn't help but feel happy.
Speaking of this martial arts judgment, it looks extremely brainless and barbaric, but it really exists. The barbarians in Europe prefer this arrangement, which is to decide justice through martial arts decisions. In my memory, it seems that even in the 18th century, many places in Europe still had such rules. After the rise of Christianity, the judicial approval authority was invisibly attributed to God. Sometimes when there is insufficient evidence in the legal process, there are also accusers, so they use the martial arts judgment, saying that this is God's arrangement, and the one who survives is the person chosen by God, that is, justice.
Gao Fangping really doesn't know whether the Jurchens have such rules or similar rules.
However, this method is not difficult to understand. It should be a method that barbarians who are not very culturally friendly. To a certain extent, this is also true, simple, rough and effective. The rumored slaughter and arson belt means this. People with big fists are justice. For example, when the fists are big enough, they can overthrow the Song Dynasty, so of course the Song Dynasty will not be able to sentence him to guilt. In fact, in the Han family, this is also the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.
Gao Fangping, who decided to establish his authority, agreed to this suggestion and gave Shi Wengong a wink.
Shi Wengong rode out of the line on a war horse, carried the Fang Tian painting halberd to the front open space, and said coldly: "I will accuse you of violating military orders, almost defiling the semi-covenant of the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens. Since you are not convinced, you will decide to judge the war, then I will accompany you." After saying that, he turned his head and passed on the order: "Give him the war horses and weapons!"
The guy suddenly looked very glorious, wrapped his long braids around his neck, put on their simple cotton armor, and stepped onto the horse with a sword. Then he waved his sword and started running the field, like a swearing act. The rest of the Jurchen knights in the distance also shouted and cheered to encourage the tribe.
To a certain extent, these Jurchen knights began to like Gao Fangping a little. In fact, it doesn't matter how rogue Gao Fangping is. They are more rogue than Gao Fangping, which is understandable. On the contrary, I learned that the Han people were full of habits like profiteers, without backbone dignity, and casually sacrificed the Jurchen warriors. These actions made them unacceptable.
Now they saw that Gao Fangping actually agreed to the competition to decide justice, which combined with their customs, they really like Gao Fangping a little.
Zeng Nong, his five sons, and the Zengtou City teacher named Su Ding, were also looking forward to what would happen.
After the warm-up of the run, the Jurchen knight showed off his fancy riding skills and raided towards Shi Wengong, who was waiting for the battle.
His riding skills were really amazing, and everyone onlookers exclaimed.
As he approached, the Jurchen knight bit his sabre on his mouth, slid down from the horse's back like a phantom, hiding under the horse's belly for cover. It is not difficult to guess that he intends to sacrifice the horse and then suddenly strike a fatal blow from under the horse's belly.
Shi Wengong moved at some point and swept the Fangtian Paintings. The sand and stones on the ground invaded the sky. Even the horses were affected and could not open their eyes.
When riding the horses staggered, Shi Wengong Fang Tian's painting halberd was snatching and jumping up with the opponent's horse.
Puff
In a combo, when the opponent was in the air, Shi Wengong waved Fang Tian Hua Ji again, and the warrior holding the horse's belly and biting the knife cut into two pieces.
"Woo"
The onlookers retreated one after another. Whether it was the Jurchen knight or the Han people, they were shocked. Damn it, the Jurchen knight was brave and fancy before, but in one move, they were killed by the man and the horse. This is a reversal.
Zeng Nong and his sons were so shocked that their faces were pale. I didn’t expect that there was such a brave person in the world!
Gao Fangping waved his hand and said, "It's good. If you lose, you are guilty. Even though he dies, I still sentence him to beheading him. Come on, behead the criminal's head and hang it at the entrance of Zengjia Village for three days. In addition, we will come in rotation. The other six Hanjia Villages will also be hung in front of the doors of the other six Hanjia Villages for three days."
Zeng Nong and Zeng Nong's three sons dressed in Han people became more and more disgusting, thinking that Gao Fangping was too cruel and too vulgar. This was a warning to the Han people in Zengtou City, and at the same time, he was expressing to the Han people that the Jurchens had nothing to be scary, so Gao Fangping had the final say.
On the contrary, the other two sons dressed in Jurchen customs and dozens of other Jurchen knights felt that it was normal. They were so savage, so stupid and ruthless, and they truly admired warriors. In their values, the bigger the machete, the more respected and justice it is. They understood Gao Fangping very well. They had warriors like Shi Wengong, and there were so many fierce war horses under their command, so they were qualified to do whatever they wanted to do for Gao Fangping. (To be continued.)
