The military discipline of the Qin army is very strict.
The battle to attack the spirit is also related to the struggle of the world. Before Xiao Yuan's Eastern Expedition, the military regulations had made it very clear that no troops were allowed to massacre cities, burn, kill, loot, or trample crops.
Not to mention raping civilian women.
The soldier got a bug in his head and impulsively committed a bad act. He immediately felt scared and dared not stay. He hurriedly fastened his belt and left the place as if he was running away. He even forgot to take his helmet.
The woman's clothes were messy, huddled in the corner with her knees in her arms, still crying.
And this matter soon reached Xu Rong.
At noon, Zhanghua County Government Hall.
There was a lot of wine and meat on the table directly above, and Xu Rong was still eating and drinking.
Not long after, a captain picked up the soldier and pushed him to the ground as soon as he entered the hall.
Seeing this, Xu Rong put down the wine bowl, frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong?"
"General." The captain first clasped his fists, then pointed at the soldiers and said: "After our army entered the city, we were explicitly not allowed to disturb the people, but this guy broke into people's houses and raped people's daughters!"
"What!?" Hearing this, Xu Rong was also startled, stood up and said angrily: "You are so brave! How dare you ignore military law!"
And the soldier begged for mercy again and again: "General, calm down, the villain is confused for a moment, confused for a moment..."
"Hmph! We, the Qin army, are not gangsters!" The captain was also angry and raised his fist at Xu Rong: "Such behavior is no different from animals! Military law cannot tolerate it! Please give the general an order to behead him in public!"
Upon hearing that his head was in danger, the soldier was immediately frightened to death, knelt on the ground and screamed:
"General, spare your life! General, spare your life! I have been following the general for many years, starting from Montenegro, and I have always been loyal..."
"General, do you still remember that back in Montenegro, I was the one who poured you wine..."
He kept talking. It was obvious that he was a member of the Montenegrin Army, but was actually recruited by the bandits. Today, he is still a small soldier, which shows his nature and ability.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
And hearing that he followed him out of Black Mountain, Xu Rong suddenly became confused.
"General! Big brother..."
The soldier was already in tears.
Looking at this scene, Xu Rong had a complicated expression. After a moment, he waved his hands irritably and said: "Okay, okay! Get out of here!"
ah? Unexpectedly, it would be such a result. When the soldiers heard this, they immediately beamed with joy and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, general. Thank you, general, for not killing..."
Then he got up and ran away.
But the captain became anxious and said sternly: "General! This man has raped a common woman! If we don't behead him, it's hard to understand military law!"
"Oh, we are all men. It is inevitable that we will make mistakes in this area. Marching and fighting are extremely difficult, so it is understandable." Xu Rong laughed.
"But General!" The commander was anxious and frowned deeply.
But before he could say anything, Xu Rong waved his hand: "Okay, okay, brothers fought bloody battles and gave up life and death on the battlefield. For a civilian girl, it's not a big deal."
"But this code is the same code. On the battlefield, the soldiers shed their blood for the country for the sake of peace in the world. The people are innocent, but raping the women of the people is a heinous crime!" the commander argued.
He kept biting it, and Xu Rong became a little impatient and glanced at him with a frown: "Why, can't this general protect a soldier?"
"This." With such words, the commander had nothing to say. After being silent, he could only hold his fists: "Yes, I will retire."
Xu Rong is not only very happy about his achievements, but also has another characteristic, that is, he takes special care of his little brother from Montenegro.
Jia You once said that his Montenegrin men would harm him sooner or later, but he was hurt and did not gain any wisdom.
Two days later, Yan Qi led the main force of the Qin army into Zhanghua.
In the county hall, all the generals gathered together and stood on both sides. The chief seat directly above naturally became the temporary commander's seat.
In the battle of Zhanghua, with Xu Rong's character, he had already asked for credit. Before anyone else could speak, he took the lead and said: "Commander Yan, now Zhanghua has been decided, and the ferry has been opened. In view of the general's opinion, when Immediately launch a cross-river campaign and force Bu Shuo to fight decisively."
Yan Qi glanced at him and said, "There are no reinforcements coming from Zhanghua at all. This means that Bu Shuo had already planned to give up here. Do you think you can cross the river rashly now?"
"Then, what does Commander Yan mean?" Xu Rong asked.
Yan Qi said: "First arrange the warships and have a complete combat deployment before launching the battle across the river. Otherwise, if we rush the army in a hurry, we will be hit halfway across the river."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xu Rong to answer, he said lukewarmly: "General Xu, I heard that after the capture of Zhanghua, soldiers broke into people's houses and raped people's daughters. Is this possible?"
"This." Xu Rong paused and did not dare to answer easily.
Seeing this, Yan Qi said again: "If that's the case, why did you escape the military law? What are you, the vanguard general, doing!"
"Commander Yan is so talented." Xu Rong said quickly: "In the battle of Zhanghua, that soldier killed the enemy with blood. Although he violated military law, I thought he had merit, so I gave him a light sentence."
"Absurd!" Yan Qi was furious and shouted: "Gong is merit, fault is fault! If all the meritorious soldiers can use their merits to burn, kill and commit adultery! Is this world still the world?"
"We, the officers and men of the Qin Army, are the country's army! We are the king's division! We are not bandits!"
"This Eastern Expedition is a battle for national unification! It is about recovering rivers and mountains! It is not a foreign race!"
"Your Majesty has already issued an order! How dare you disobey it!"
He shouted harshly, and Xu Rong couldn't help but swallowed, and said cautiously: "Shuai Yan said it was too serious, she is just a little civilian girl, not as important as a soldier."
"This is not an important question! As a general, how dare you indulge your subordinates!" Seeing him like this, Yan Qi became even more angry: "How about Xia Ping! The founding military general, ranked as an earl, and nicknamed General Fenwei! He violated the military law. Still beheading in public display! Who do you think you are!"
ah! ? Hearing this, Xu Rong was startled, and his voice trembled a little: "General, the general just wants to take credit for his achievements, and has no other intentions."
"Shut up!" Yan Qi stared and shouted: "This matter must be severely punished! Send the commander's military order to behead the soldier and show it to the three armies!"
At this time, Xu Rong was in a bit of trouble, so he didn't dare to say anything.
After the reprimand, Yan Qi took another deep breath and said sternly: "How can a regular army be like a mob! This is simply unreasonable! After the official punishment, the generals in each department will rectify the military discipline! If they commit the crime again, they will be punished together!"
"I will obey the military order——" All the generals clasped their fists together.
The four commanders of the Qin State may have different military management styles, but their military discipline is absolutely unquestionable.
