All the scars on Zhao Huailiang's body were on the front, and there was no scar on the back.
There were also some white muslin tied around his body to cover the wounds, two on his shoulders, one on his abdomen, and one on his waist.
Chen Wang saw clearly that he saw blood oozing out from under the white cloth at Zhao Huailiang's waist. It was probably the wound that burst open when he came all the way and saluted.
In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the army went through two battles, Ningyuan and Ningjin, and then participated in all the Jisi Changes and the Battle of the Four Cities.
Zhao Huailiang had no background. He was just an ordinary soldier when he was recruited into the camp. He relied entirely on his military exploits to climb to the position of commander-in-chief.
The first-level skill of the late Ming Dynasty was actually useless by the end of the Apocalypse.
Ordinary soldiers have no background. Even if they capture a head, it is difficult to claim their merits.
There are two opinions on whether it can be credited to myself. After the change of head silver has been verified by the authorities, I don’t know how long it will take to get the approval.
Generals who can distinguish rewards and punishments are very rare among the Ming army generals in the late Ming Dynasty.
The reason why Chen Wang was able to claim his merits, exchange for a sufficient amount of silver reward, and even sell it at a high price was actually based on Cao Wenzhao's momentum.
Without Cao Wenzhao as a backer, I am afraid that the military merits would not be mentioned at all, and the money issued would also be withheld.
Within two months, he was promoted from servant to Chief Hundred, then to Chief General, and now directly to Chief Thousand, even leading a battalion.
Part of it was his own ability, but more of it was because Cao Wenzhao regarded him as a confidant, so he supported him.
Without background and no one to support, it is extremely difficult to be promoted to the position of Flag Manager or Hundred President, let alone climb to the position of General Manager.
This Zhao Huailiang is definitely a ruthless person.
Chen Wang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had a few more guesses in his mind.
With so many wounds on Zhao Huailiang's body, his military exploits must be far more than what appears on paper.
Moreover, this person is experienced in dealing with things. Although he has no background, being able to rise to this position requires some movement.
Chen Wang felt that if he had come a day or two late, Zhao Huailiang would have already set up the camp, and he would not be able to find many faults when he came in.
Chen Wang already had a rough outline of Zhao Huailiang's arrangements.
He will then lead a battalion by himself, so he will naturally need a right-hand man around him to help him handle some affairs.
Although he has been a man for two generations, he is indeed not smooth in dealing with others.
Tang Shiping was quite rigid. He was a hereditary member of a hundred households in Datong. When recruiting troops, he was directly appointed as the chief hundred when he entered the camp.
Chen Gong, Hu Zhili, and Hu Zhiyi, his younger brothers and cousins, are also like him. They are all servants, and they don't need any tricks at all on weekdays.
As a servant, you have nothing to rely on but the swords, guns, and crossbows in your hands. You only need to be loyal to the general in peacetime, and choose your vanguard in war. There are so many twists and turns.
After Zhao Huailiang took off his clothes, all the Liao soldiers on the general stage in the school field looked indignant.
Mr. Bai, who was pinned to the ground, had anger in his eyes and his face was red.
Chen Wang faced everyone's sharp-edged gazes without any fear in his heart.
"Everyone look up!"
Chen Wang raised his voice, turned around and looked at the Liao soldiers on the school field, and then raised the file.
"You know anger now?!"
Chen Wang sneered.
"Do you know the humiliation now?!"
Everyone stood quite close, and everyone could hear Chen Wang's voice.
"How come you didn't know that when your boss was lying in the tent recovering from his injuries?"
Chen Wang looked down at the generals on the school field.
"When you stood outside the county government office with knives and demanded food and meat, and when you had conflicts with residents on the streets, did you ever think that what you committed would involve your boss?"
"When you gathered people in the camp to gamble and brought brothel girls into the military camp, didn't you think about who would be responsible for these things in the future?"
Chen Wang's eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces and said coldly.
"I am also from Liao. I also served as a soldier in Liao Town. The military law of Liao Town clearly states that even sitting as a superior officer is clearly stated."
"Don't tell me that none of you can remember the military laws and regulations of Liao Town."
Although there are many military laws and regulations, any veteran can definitely memorize them.
The reason is very simple. If you cannot memorize military law, and if you are not sure, you will accidentally trigger military law. When the time comes, you will lose your head and you will not know how you died.
As a camp soldier, you don’t have to train hard, but you must not fail to memorize military laws.
Everyone on the school grounds slowly lowered their heads, even Mr. Bai, who looked unhappy before his hands were tied behind his back, also lowered his head.
If a general fails to properly restrain his troops, he may be punished by being beaten and fined, or demoted or demoted, or even beheaded.
They all knew the military rules and regulations, but the defeat of Sanshui was too heavy, and everyone felt really depressed.
Gathering people to gamble and using money to lure prostitutes into the camp are all just to vent the frustration in their hearts.
After entering Chunhua City, the food and grass sent to them by the stubborn magistrate were all old food in the warehouse. Many of them were even moldy and could no longer be eaten, and there was no trace of meat at all.
They tolerated the food being eaten by the people, but the food and grass given to the war horses were indiscriminate.
Finally, unable to endure it anymore, they stepped out of the military camp and gathered a crowd to demand an explanation.
They have lost their minds and do things without considering the consequences...
Everyone on the school grounds fell into silence because of Chen Wang's continuous questioning.
Chen Wang held the Yanling knife at his waist with one hand and the leather belt around his waist with the other hand.
Although he had heard before that Zhang Waijia's troops had poor military discipline and had robbed civilians, during the pursuit Zhang Waijia ordered the direct slaughter of the old and weak in the rogue camp.
But maybe it's because in the city, it's not the countryside after all, and you don't act so unscrupulously.
He clearly saw all the big and small cases in the file, and most of them were trivial matters.
The most serious thing was blocking the gate of the county government office and begging for food and grass.
"According to military law, if restraint is not strict and the subordinates are ineffective, what crime should the officer in charge of the battalion deserve?"
Chen Wang looked gloomy and asked solemnly.
"If the restraint is not strict and the subordinates are ineffective, the crime should be judged according to the severity of the impact."
Chen Gong took a step forward, clasping his hands into fists, and responded.
"Soldiers fought in the city, gathered people to gamble, extorted money and food, and brought women into the camp. The impact was extremely evil."
Chen Gong paused for a moment, then raised his voice several times.
"Several crimes are combined together, and the camp officer should be executed if the crime is judged!"
All the Liao soldiers on the school grounds raised their heads, their faces showing fear and shame, and everyone's eyes were focused on the general platform.
"Zhao Huailiang."
Chen Wang turned around, faced Zhao Huailiang, and said in a cold voice.
Zhao Huailiang bowed his waist and lowered his head, all the way to the floor.
His back was arched and his voice was hoarse as he answered.
"The humble position... is here."
