Chapter 26 Bai Wuchang

Chapter 26 Bai Wuchang

The two personal soldiers behind Shao Quanzhong responded to the order and came out with goose-feather knives in hand to carry out the execution.

These two bodyguards had not had time to put on their military uniforms. They were the two who were on guard just now.

They felt very guilty for failing to protect Shao Quanzhong. If it weren't for the regiment commander's excellent marksmanship, they would have been caught by these four thugs.

In the final analysis, it was because he had never fought in a war, had never killed anyone, and was soft-hearted in an emergency.

The group leader didn't blame us. We have to work harder in the future. Let's kill a few people first to build up our courage.

Shao Quanzhong waved his hand to stop them, "You are not in a hurry to do this.

Haiqing, you should pick ten men who are compatible with you and be in charge of the execution. From now on, you will be in charge of leading the troops to supervise the military discipline."

"okay!"

Hai Qing was the acting captain of the first team of Jiutian Right Camp. He was already familiar with his subordinates. He enthusiastically picked out ten men who were compatible with him and sent four of them to carry out the execution.

At a command, the four executioners swung their swords - unfortunately, the head did not fall to the ground.

These peasants who had just joined the army didn't cut in the right place, and instead of killing the person, they got themselves covered in blood.

The four thugs who were trying to act like heroes didn't die from the single blow. Instead, they pissed themselves in fear and screamed loudly, making the scene a complete mess.

Shao Quanzhong watched the murder with a smile on his face, looking relaxed and not caring at all about the executioner's poor performance.

Beheading is a professional job, and executioners have a tradition of doing so. The executioners in military camps have to be veterans who have killed people.

The embarrassing thing about Shao Quanzhong is that he has no veterans, so he has to start from scratch.

Shao Quanzhong's ability to judge people was brought over from his previous life.

He asked Haiqing to choose people for a purpose. Haiqing had the vicious temper that all eunuchs had, and anyone who had the same temper as him should also be vicious.

If you ask most people to pick up a knife and kill someone, their calves would tremble.

Look at these newly appointed executioners. Although they didn’t kill the prisoners, none of them wet their pants or vomited. That’s pretty good.

Shao Quanzhong didn't say anything, but Haiqing couldn't hold it in any longer, "You are useless, look at our family."

He picked up the knife and walked forward to chop one himself. "See? This is how you use the force and the location. Learn from me."

Haiqing was highly skilled in martial arts. He had killed many people when he ambushed Emperor Xianfeng in Shunyi. Of course, he was no match for his new recruits.

Seeing his men starting to practice on the other three prisoners, Hai Qing turned to look at Shao Quanzhong. The viciousness and murderous look on his face disappeared, and he looked flattering instead.

"Second brother, I am now in charge of discipline. Do you want me to be in charge of the East Factory in the future? Do you want to cleanse those brothers who were selected?"

Several people who were carrying out the execution shuddered when they heard this. This was absolutely not allowed.

Shao Quanzhong was amused. "Don't talk nonsense. I am a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. What is the East Factory of the Qing Dynasty? This is called the military police.

You will be in charge of the gendarmerie squad first, and then you will expand it as the size of the army increases.

Find Le Xiucai to customize the next batch of military uniforms first, add a circle of white cover on the wall of the flat hat, and wear white armbands on the arms.

In addition to being responsible for discipline, you are also responsible for guarding and escorting prisoners on the battlefield. You must be ruthless and ruthless to soldiers who make mistakes. Do you understand?"

"Brother, you really understand me. This job belongs to me. If anyone dares to violate the military law, I will be the White Impermanence who takes his life."

The Shao faction's gendarmerie unit was thus established, and these ten people who were temporarily selected became the first batch of gendarmerie in the Qing Dynasty.

In a few words, the military police force was established. Shao Quanzhong pointed at the more than 30 people who participated in the mutiny and did not take any action. "Give each of them ten military sticks and send them back home."

Are ten military sticks too few? It depends on how you fight.

If the executioner has connections, eighty military sticks will not be a big deal, and ten military sticks will be enough to make the person unable to take care of himself.

It is impossible for anyone to withstand the legendary 200 beatings of the sword. It is purely the imagination of storytellers who have never been beaten with a military stick, and of course it is also for the audience's enjoyment.

The ten newly appointed military police were of course merciless. After beating each of them with ten military sticks, they were basically carried out. They could not be driven back for the time being. They had to recover from their injuries for a few days before they could walk again. "These mutinous soldiers sneaked into the weir without military orders. Soldiers who were on guard at the time, please step out!"

The calves of the two soldiers who stepped out of the line were trembling. My God, there are people killing and beating with sticks in front of us, how can we be safe?
He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "These guys are all veterans of the village, we didn't notice whether they had military orders."

Shao Quanzhong walked over and personally helped the two people up one by one, "Don't be afraid, this is not entirely your fault, it's because our military law is not perfect.

Although you have made mistakes, it is different from them deliberately going against me. Come, put them in solitary confinement for two days. "

The two men knelt down and kowtowed again, "Thank you for your magnanimity, President."

"From now on, you don't have to kowtow to me anymore; you have to salute in the barracks.

Haiqing, record the rules of military salute and spread them to the whole army."

Shao Quanzhong demonstrated it personally and explained in detail the rules of saluting and returning the salute, and announced its implementation on the spot.

Once he thinks of something, he does it immediately and decisively.

Shao Quanzhong looked at Tian Xing and said, "Deputy Commander Tian did not discipline his subordinates, and they mutinied. Tian Xing was demoted two levels to the captain of the troop and fined two months' salary.

The left camp mutinied, so the left camp organization was cancelled, and only the troop was retained. Those who smoked opium were given two months' salary, and all were dismissed, and the rest were incorporated into the right camp.

"Now, I announce the new twenty military regulations. Haiqing will record them and enforce them accordingly."

My goodness, the punishment for Tian Xing was much more severe than that for the guards who let people in. The soldiers were all trembling in awe, but Tian Xing himself didn't care at all.

He didn't come here for promotion or wealth. The only elite team in the left camp was the selected troop, and the rest were just burdens. He didn't feel that he was demoted at all.

Shao Quanzhong recited the twenty military regulations without thinking, as he had memorized them long ago.

Among the twenty military regulations of the old Beiyang government, eighteen were punishable by execution, which was quite strict. It was announced right after they had killed someone to establish their authority.

“For those who remain in the left camp, let them learn the military rules first. If they cannot abide by them, give them money and send them home so that they can part ways amicably.

Brothers who are here at the scene, if you feel you can’t bear it, you can leave.

This is your only chance. If you stay and break military rules, don't complain if you get beheaded!"

Most of the ruffians in Zuoying smoke opium.

Sixty members of the Speed ​​​​Travel Team were selected, four leaders of the mutiny were killed, and more than thirty troublemakers were driven away. There were basically only a few left. Shao Quanzhong's words were mainly for the people present.

Shao Quanzhong handled the mutiny skillfully and ruthlessly, dealing with the punishments appropriately and with principles. Military discipline was immediately enforced, and all the soldiers trembled as they looked at Hai Qing and the ten gendarmes.

Now the militia has lost weight instantly, and with the dozens of young logisticians newly hired by Le Sen, there are less than three hundred people.

"Disband now, Captain Song, please stay for a while."

"Siwen, get ready. Take two of my personal soldiers with you tomorrow morning and go to Jingjiang to pick up my three brothers.

Song Laosan, you should also make preparations and come back to Jiangyan with me tomorrow.

Let's pick 40 children from Jiangyan and bring them back. I want to train them. For major events, we have to rely on the soldiers from our hometown."

Zhang Siwen and Song Laosan responded, and Shao Quanzhong sighed.

Since the establishment of the militia, everything has to start from scratch and there is a lot of work to be done. I have to work one day as if it were two days. I wish I could clone myself. It is so busy.

I just came back from Shanghai and hadn't had a chance to catch my breath when I encountered this mutiny. I've been busy for a long time and now I need to take a break.

Just as he turned around and was about to walk towards Shao's house, the sentry on duty ran over and saluted, "Report to the regiment commander, outside the weir, Miss Wenxiu led her people to bring pigs and sheep to reward the troops."

"I will go to greet you personally."

The Wen family is his support in Taizhou and should not be underestimated.

Shao Quanzhong adjusted his discipline button, took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on, then walked out of the village with his personal soldiers, looking puzzled as he went.

For something like rewarding the troops, you could just send the old butler, Uncle Wen Gui. Why did Miss Wen show up here on her own?
