The men commanded by the Nancheng Army and Horses Division quickly gathered together.
Chen Kan came to the square outside the door, looked at the dense crowd, and couldn't help but sigh.
He was prepared to commend Shi Wen in front of so many people.
That’s right, it’s a commendation!
Although he wanted to punish him severely in his heart, Chen Kan could not do this.
No matter how bad his actions were, his intentions were good.
As for the consequences, it was because he was not smart enough to predict the subsequent development of this matter.
To put it simply, Shi Wen's thinking is a typical military thinking, straight to the point, and he cannot understand the twists and turns of politics.
It's not his fault.
When Huang Gou'er came to the square carrying a small box, Chen Kan took the box and stood on the high platform.
Thousands of people gathered in the square, but the square remained silent.
Now everyone knows that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is facing off against the Five Army Governor's Mansion.
I also knew that Xu Yuan came to ask for military equipment, but his legs were interrupted by Longping Hou Zhang Xin.
This made everyone feel suffocated in their hearts.
They didn't know what the consequences would be if they stormed the imperial city. They only knew that the former military governor's office had robbed what belonged to them.
People in this era have such simple thinking.
Chen Kan knew that all of them had a fire in their hearts. If one failed to control it, it would likely lead to huge consequences, which he could not bear.
So now he wants to guide this fire to go out.
"Where is Shi Wen, the commander of the Dongcheng Army and Horse Department?"
Standing on the high platform, Chen Kan's voice spread far away.
Shi Wen felt a little uneasy.
What is this going to do?
Why didn't you inform him in advance?
But Chen Kan called him, and he couldn't pretend not to hear. He could only bite the bullet and say, "My subordinate is here."
Chen Kan looked at the whip marks on his face, coupled with his slightly hurt expression, feeling angry and funny.
He turned half sideways and shouted: "Come on stage."
Shi Wen didn't know why, but before he had time to react, he was pushed off the stage by someone.
Looking back, Zhang Yong, who had an inexplicable expression on his face, retracted his palm as if nothing happened.
After glaring at Zhang Yong, Shi Wen climbed up the stairs to Chen Kan step by step.
Asked in a low voice: "Sir, what's the matter?"
Chen Kan dragged Shi Wen to the center of the high platform and looked around at the confused captains below.
He said loudly: "Everyone has heard about what happened today. Shi Wen, the commander of the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division, stepped forward without hesitation after his colleagues were bullied."
Hearing Chen Kan's praise, Shi Wen slapped the back of his head in embarrassment, with an ugly smile on his face.
Chen Kan continued: "The Five Cities Military and Horse Division are originally one body. Shi Wen is not afraid of power and resolutely stands up for his colleagues. This is a beautiful quality."
"I hope that every one of you can trust your companions without hesitation when encountering something like this."
"We need unity, fearlessness, and warriors who dare to be the first. I hope that each of you can become the support of your companions and a solid backing for each other."
Chen Kan stewed a bowl of poisonous chicken soup from later generations.
He was keenly aware of the changes in the moods of the captains below.
At least the resentment in their eyes was much lessened.
Most of them looked at Shi Wen on the high platform with admiring eyes.
This is what Chen Kan wants.
After successfully resolving the anger in their hearts, Chen Kan loudly said: "Heroes need to be recognized."
"Xu Yuan, the commander of the Zhongcheng Army and Horse Department who went to ask for weapons for everyone and was poisoned by Longping Hou, is a hero. Shi Wen, the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horse Department who stood up for his colleagues, is also a hero."
"Heroes need to be rewarded!"
After Chen Kan finished speaking, every captain in the audience had a determined look in their eyes, and the effect of his speech was evident.
"Shi Wen, the commander of the Dongcheng Army and Horse Department, is not afraid of power, and his love for his colleagues can be seen day by day.
I am the admiral of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. I should treat my subordinates with clear rewards and punishments.
Now, in the name of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, I will reward Shi Wen ten coins! "
Chen Kan handed the wooden box in his hand to Shi Wen with a serious expression.
Shi Wen subconsciously took the box, with a dazed look on his face.
He was obviously whipped before, so why should he be rewarded now?
A smile appeared on Chen Kan's face, and Huang Gou'er stepped forward and opened the wooden box held by Shi Wen.
The ten coins were quietly packed in the box, reflecting an intoxicating light in the sunlight.
Every penny is made of fine copper, and not a single piece of iron or lead money is fake.
There is no reward in this world that is more touching than money.
Ten ounces of money is almost equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary family.
The eyes of the captains below suddenly became intense.
Before they entered the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, most of them were from ordinary good families, and many of them had never seen so much cash in their lives.
Seeing that the emotions of everyone in the audience were aroused, Chen Kan motioned Huang Gou'er to close the lid of the wooden box.
Then he said in a deep voice: "You have come to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division at the right time. As long as you work hard, everyone can become a hero and everyone can get rewards. Train well. I look forward to your future performance."
"Got the order!"
Immediately there was a chorus of orders in the square, and the sound soared into the sky.
Chen Kan waved his hand and dismissed the captains in the audience.
After turning around and getting off the high platform, he looked at Shi Wen sadly.
Shi Wen was holding a box of copper coins. Until now, he was still confused.
Suddenly being stared at by Chen Kan's sinister eyes, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Sir...my lord, I have no shame in asking for this reward."
Chen Kan said expressionlessly: "Keep it. Since it was given to you, there is no reason to take it back."
Shi Wen opened his mouth and muttered: "This subordinate has caused a big disaster..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Kan immediately went into a rage, jumped up and kicked him in the butt.
He cursed and said: "You still know that you have caused a big trouble. I really am, I..."
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any deterrent words. Chen Kan scratched his head irritably.
Shi Wen staggered after being kicked by Chen Kan, and said with a sad face: "Sir, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
Chen Kan sneered and said: "Penalty, of course I have to punish you. I have never seen anyone as stupid as you. If I don't punish you, you won't remember it well next time!"
Cursing, he walked back to the yamen and sat down. Chen Kan said angrily: "Shi Wen, because of you, the batch of weapons and equipment that were kidnapped by Marquis Longping will probably not come back. I will punish you with a military stick now." Ten sticks, do you have any objection?"
Shi Wen shook his head like a rattle and responded: "No, I am willing to accept the punishment."
Chen Kanxian glanced at Zhang Yong and Zhang San who were standing in the hall, frowned and said: "What are you still doing? Execution!"
