There is such a thing as "rules" in the world, and you must act according to the rules.
Especially in the army, the word "rules" is even more strict. If the rules are not punished in the army, it will affect the morale of all soldiers.
Liu Asi faithfully carried out Li Qinzai's order. The soldiers stepped forward and brought down the struggling Qian Yi. Liu Asi took action himself, and with a whistling sound, the long military stick fell hard on Qian Yi's back and On the butt.
When Qian Yi was hit with two or three sticks, he was still shouting and yelling in dissatisfaction. When he was hit with the fourth and fifth sticks, he became speechless. After the sixth and seventh sticks, he screamed miserably. No longer as tough as before.
Li Qinzai looked at him with an indifferent expression, not showing any contempt for Qian Yi's performance.
If it had been him, he would have screamed like this after being beaten a few times. The punishment in the army was particularly harsh. No one could bear it. There was no reason to despise others for what he couldn't do.
Liu Asi carried out the execution meticulously, using no more than 20 military sticks and no less. After the beating, Qian Yi was lying on the ground dying, unable to even scream.
Li Qinzai waved his hand and ordered the soldiers of the grain team to carry him back to the camp, and then glanced at Liu Asi...
"Did you keep it?" Li Qinzai asked.
Although he had never experienced it, Li Qinzai had heard that when twenty army batons came down, he would be disabled or die. Qian Yi could still breathe, which showed that Liu Asi had some strength left.
Liu Asi said in shock: "This little guy has never beaten a military stick, so he is not very skilled... Besides, he is the grain inspector after all. If he is really defeated, he will cause trouble for the Fifth Young Master."
Li Qinzai stared at his face and said: "It's just this once, it won't happen next time. From now on, I must act on my words without any compromise. I will bear the consequences myself, so you don't have to worry about it."
Liu Asi was shocked and said hurriedly: "You know you made a mistake, I will never do it again next time."
Li Qinzai brushed his armor and said, "After passing the military law, go to the Governor's Mansion to see the Chief Superintendent and clarify the matter."
The onlookers of the grain team consciously gave way to a path, but Li Qinzai just took a step forward but stopped.
Looking around at the soldiers, Li Qinzai said in a deep voice: "Although you are just soldiers transporting food and grass, you are also the king of the Tang Dynasty. The generals tortured you for no reason. Don't you even dare to fart? You are all tough Guanzhong men. Have you fed your backbone and blood to the dogs?”
The soldiers lowered their heads and said nothing, but their expressions gradually changed. From docile, to unwillingness, and finally to anger.
Li Qinzai watched the changes of everyone indifferently. He knew that these sheep were slowly turning into a group of hungry wolves. From now on, it might not be so easy for Qian Yiruo to abuse the soldiers without any reason.
That's right, soldiers in the army must look like soldiers. Those who transport food are also soldiers, and they should have the blood of soldiers, not submissive civilians.
Returning to the Governor's Mansion again, Sun Renshi was quite surprised by Li Qinzai's arrival.
Li Qinzai quickly told the story of punishing Qian Yi, and Master Sun Ren nodded: "I have heard a little bit about Qian Yi. He was indeed a man back then. After he was demoted for being arrogant based on his merits, he has gradually become useless."
Master Sun Ren shook his head and did not blame Li Qinzai for enforcing the military law. After all, Li Qinzai was right. He drank alcohol and abused soldiers in the army. Qian Yi deserved the punishment.
Li Qinzai said calmly: "The army is full of fighting men. Since we are useless, it is not suitable to be a grain inspector. It is better to be released back to our hometown and become a tiller and woodcutter. It is worse than staying in the army and becoming a hidden danger. If one day His drunkenness delayed the delivery of food and fodder, which was a big disaster for my king."
Master Sun Ren nodded: "I'm sending an order to remove him from the post of grain inspector. I'll leave this person to you. You decide whether to stay in the army or be released back to his hometown."
Li Qinzai saluted without hesitation: "Yes."
The sea port of Dengzhou was busy. Under the command of generals at all levels, the soldiers boarded the warships in an orderly manner, and the warships set sail towards Baekje.
Two days later, it was finally the turn of the baggage camp to board the ship.
Li Qinzai arrived at the port early in the morning and could not help but secretly marvel when he saw dozens of large ships moored quietly in the port.
Most of the shipbuilding industry in the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the Sui Dynasty, and the shipbuilding industry in the Sui Dynasty was quite developed. The last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Sui Yang, Yang Guang, liked to go on tours, and he especially liked to take a boat when he went on tours.
During Yang Guang's reign, not only did he dig the Grand Canal, but the shipbuilding industry of the Sui Dynasty also flourished in line with the emperor's hobby.
The Tang warship in front of Li Qinzai was a huge thing, far beyond his imagination. The ship was about five stories high, with flags on the sides. There were arrow stacks and giant crossbows on both sides of the ship. The main mast was more than ten feet high. If a warship only carries personnel, it can hold about five thousand people.
Of course, if there is a naval battle with the enemy, it is impossible for so many people to be accommodated on the battleship. The normal establishment is about five hundred.
Li Qinzai stood by the port, looking at the mighty battleships of the Tang Dynasty with admiration.
I was just thinking about plagiarizing a few lines from Li Bai and Du Fu's poems to describe my mood at the moment, when a cold voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Do you think our navy of the Tang Dynasty is quite majestic?"
Li Qinzai was stunned, Zhou Yu was teasing Jiang Qian? Who walked into the wrong set?
Turning around, he saw a sixty-year-old armored veteran standing behind him, holding his sword in one hand and stroking his beard with the other, looking at the warships moored in the port with eyes that were fascinated and proud.
Because of his white beard, Li Qinzai felt that he should be more polite.
In all the true and false stories, except for Xingxiu old fairy Ding Chunqiu, the rest of the white-bearded old men are ruthless characters. They either give away secret books or immortal weapons. If they are flattering enough, they may also give away tribulation elixirs...
"I haven't asked for advice..." Li Qinzai subconsciously handed over his hand.
The veteran smiled: "I'm Liu Rengui."
Li Qinzai was shocked.
Your mother and maidservant are my grandfather’s enemies! It was this guy who had been involved with Li Ji for a whole month. He had such a perverted mentality that he would not let go of Li Ji and offended people to death.
"Uh, my subordinate, Xiongjin Road Marching Commander Shi Li Qinzai, pays homage to Deputy General Manager Liu." Li Qinzai had to salute.
The grievances of the older generation are not clear, but what Li Qinzai knows is that this is in the army, and Liu Rengui's official is older than him. Just like Li Qinzai can beat Qian Yi with a military stick, Liu Rengui can crush people to death even if he is a senior official. Give him a beating with a military stick for no reason.
He is an enemy, but he cannot afford to offend him, and the proper etiquette cannot be broken.
Liu Rengui's appearance is nothing special, but his expression always remains serious, a bit cold and serious, like a killer who has no emotion.
Seeing Li Qinzai salute, Liu Rengui hummed and said: "You are a descendant of the Li family, not bad. I have heard of your reputation several times, and I have heard of it for a long time. Since we are in the same military by fate, you and I can get along easily."
"Don't cause trouble for me, and I won't seek bad luck for you for no reason."
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched, and he was still trying to decide whether this sentence was a comfort or a threat.
Liu Rengui twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "My ancestor must have settled the grievances with me with you. The affairs of the previous generation will not involve the younger generation. I can handle your errands with peace of mind." I will provide you with the fastest Li Zhi. Don't be afraid to update. Chapter 184 White Bearded Old Enemy is free to read.
