The army was divided into two sides, and it was a vast and vast place.
A group of cavalry attacked Lizhou.
Fang Jue took all the infantry battalions, 900 firearms battalion sergeants, and 3,000 cavalry and rushed to Linzhou.
When they captured Shuangzhou along the way, no one was left behind. The Ganzhou camp had already arrived, leaving 3,000 people behind in Hanzhou.
Including non-combat attrition, there are now nearly 10,000 infantrymen.
Although the cavalry was divided into eight thousand, Fang felt that he still had most of the main force in his hands.
"We seem to be of no use..."
The infantrymen were all sighing.
During the battle on the north bank, they all hid on the river bank, hiding behind the firearms camp.
The military exploits are out of their reach, and only when the battlefield is being cleaned up is it their turn to take action.
Although there is merit in this, compared to the cavalry, they seem to be running alongside them.
"General, some people below are quite critical." Cheng Jie came to report. He was in charge of military discipline, so naturally there were people everywhere who reported the news.
After learning the news, Cheng Jie was not careless and reported the matter to Fang Jue solemnly.
"If this matter is not handled properly, these soldiers will be restless and feel unfair." Regarding Cheng Jie's meaning, Fang Jue naturally understood that this matter seemed to be a bit unfair to these infantrymen.
The chariots they brought and the military formations they practiced were not put to much use.
During the war, I felt more like an outsider and didn't feel any sense of participation at all.
When rewards are given based on merit in the future, these infantrymen will definitely not get much credit. Now they are just complaining. If this continues, they may cause trouble.
"Tell them not to be afraid. The infantry serve as the backing of the firearms battalion. They will naturally have merit, and the credit of the firearms battalion will be shared with them." Fang Jue said.
Cheng Jie was surprised: "Ah? Can the firearms camp agree?"
Fang Jue chuckled lightly: "If the Firearms Battalion is approached, these infantrymen will go up and fight to the death. Shouldn't the Firearms Battalion have merit and be given to them?"
"That's true, but..." Cheng Jie felt that those in the firearms camp would be somewhat unhappy.
"One more thing..."
Cheng Jie thought it was better to report it.
Fang Jue knew what it might be without asking: "Someone committed a crime in the firearms camp?"
"How do you know?" Cheng Jie asked in surprise.
"When you are just starting out and win a battle, and it is a big victory with them as the main player, you will naturally become confused and unable to recognize yourself."
Fang Jue had already discovered that during the repairs, there were soldiers from the firearms battalion, arrogant in front of soldiers from other battalions.
He didn't care, because Chi didn't break the law, he just waited until someone caused trouble, and then he killed everyone at once to scare everyone.
Now it seems that the typical one has arrived.
"It seems that the general has already anticipated...this is what happened..."
Cheng Jie reported the matter clearly.
The Military Justice Department discovered that someone was fighting in the camp and sent people to arrest the person involved.
One of them was from the firearms battalion, and the other was from the infantry battalion who did not participate in the whole battle.
While cleaning the battlefield, the people from the firearms battalion began to show off their military exploits, saying that from now on they would have to rely on their firearms battalion. Besides, the cavalry was still of some use, while the infantry were just handymen washing the ground and collecting corpses.
Such deliberate provocation naturally succeeded in making both the cavalry and infantry dissatisfied with the firearms battalion.
However, the firearms battalion had just made a great contribution and felt that the superiors would protect them, so the cavalry and infantry tolerated it.
But the people from the firearms camp continued to provoke and acted strangely, so a foot soldier couldn't bear it and started fighting with him.
The people in the firearms camp are all forbidden troops. They have been in the city for a long time and have specialized in musket training in the past few months. Naturally, they cannot defeat the tough soldiers.
The man was so angry that he used his musket. Fortunately, the ammunition misfired, otherwise the infantry would have died.
Seeing that the matter was about to get serious, people from the Military Justice Department arrived, scolded the people on both sides, and then left with the two people who were fighting.
Cheng Jie had the right to handle this matter, but he considered that it involved the firearms camp after all.
As the firearms camp had just made a meritorious service and was Fang Jue's most trusted man, Cheng Jie did not dare to deal with it without permission, so he reported to Fang Jue.
"Let's wait until we set up camp at night."
The army was marching at this time, and Fang Jue didn't want to stop for this matter.
Linzhou is not far away, but Fangjue is in no hurry to get there, and the infantry moves slowly.
If it were cavalry, they could of course arrive in half a day's attack, but problems have arisen now, and it would be inappropriate to put the infantry aside.
Moreover, there are only two thousand defenders left in Linzhou. Due to the Bailong Snow Mountain, they are isolated from the north and it is difficult to quickly seek help.
It's not too late to arrive tomorrow.
When night fell, Fang Jue camped on the official road, and then ordered the two fighting soldiers to be brought to the central army.
All the generals in the army were called.
Fang Jue wants to deal with this incident in front of everyone to sound the alarm for everyone.
"General, the firearms battalion's name is Wei San, and the infantryman from the Liangzhou battalion is Zhang Zide." Cheng Jie personally brought the people here.
"Meet the general." The two of them paid their respects.
Fang Jue nodded and asked:
"Why did you two have such a grudge that you ignored military law and started fighting privately?"
"Back to General, it was Zhang Zide who made the first move!" Wei San spoke first.
Zhang Zide hurriedly argued: "It was Wei San who provoked me first. His words were too unpleasant. He said that our infantry were useless. He also said that we could not keep up with the heat of eating shit, and that we would only be able to wash the ground and bury corpses for the rest of our lives..."
Not to mention Zhang Zide, upon hearing this, all the generals present frowned and took a deep look at the people in the firearms camp.
Wei Feng coughed lightly and asked sternly, "Wei San, is that so?"
Wei San shrank his neck and did not answer.
"It seems that's it." Seeing that Wei San didn't reply, Fang Jue knew that Zhang Zide didn't add insult to injury.
"You just got some credit, but your butt is sticking up to the sky. Aren't you, Wei San, also an infantry soldier of the Forbidden Army, and now you can't look down on the infantry soldiers in just a few days?" Wei Feng scolded Fang Jue before he could speak.
Fang Jue looked at Wei Feng with great interest. Since he wanted to come forward, he would just take a look.
"General, I..." Seeing that Wei Feng didn't defend himself, but scolded him, Wei San's face froze, and then he looked aggrieved.
Wei Feng turned to everyone and looked at the infantry generals with his hands raised: "It was me who failed to discipline my subordinates and brought discredit on the firearms battalion, and I cannot be sorry for all the infantry brothers. I, Wei Feng, will tell you my fault in advance. Please don't mind me."
, I promise that nothing like this will happen again!”
He speaks clearly, convincingly and convincingly.
As soon as these words came out, the generals who looked unhappy also felt a little relieved.
Fang Jue chuckled lightly, admiring Wei Feng a little more.
Wei Feng's words were not so much meant for others as they were for himself.
He was still protecting the soldiers of this firearms battalion, but he did so in a good way and did not offend anyone else.
As expected of a person working in the Imperial Guard in the capital, he has a good grasp of the world.
But today, Fang Jue would not give him this opportunity.
Because military law is ruthless, Fang felt the need to set an example so that no one would dare to imitate him in the future.
"What are you talking about, General Wei? Naturally, we will not argue with a soldier." Dong Gui, the deputy general of Liangzhou Camp, said immediately.
"That's right, the brothers below are just making trouble, are you really angry?" Fan Ji from Lizhou Camp also nodded.
He knew, however, that he was much more arrogant than this back then, and it would be too much of a double standard if he was angry.
Seeing that everyone expressed their opinions generously, Wei Feng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Fang Jue.
"General, this Weisan has violated military law because of the poor discipline of our firearms camp. I hope that the general can forgive him. I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future..."
Fang Jue stopped what he was saying: "Military law is military law. If it is easily rewritten because someone pleads for mercy, how can it serve the public?"
"General..." Wei Feng suddenly felt bad when he heard this.
"Weisan."
Fang Jue pointed at him.
Wei San looked up, with a look of panic and confusion.
"Let me ask you, what are the iron rules of the firearms camp?"
When the Firearms Bureau was established, Fang Jue had restrictions on the soldiers, and the Firearms Battalion also inherited those rules and turned them into military law.
This was already repeated when we set off for the expedition.
"I……"
Wei San scratched his head, he couldn't remember, he had better discipline.
But he remembered the first one clearly, and he suddenly trembled when he thought of that military law.
"You don't remember, then Wei Feng, tell me, what is the first article of military discipline in the firearms camp?" Fang Jue asked coldly.
Wei Feng pursed his lips, sighed in his heart, and said helplessly:
"Article 1 of the Firearms Battalion Military Discipline: Under no circumstances shall soldiers or generals of the Firearms Battalion aim their guns at friendly troops or the common people of Daxia..."
"There is this..." The soldiers of the Firearms Battalion all agreed beside him, it was indeed true.
This rule can be said to be the iron rule of the Firearms Battalion. I knew it by heart when I was a soldier in the Firearms Bureau. This chapter has been completed!
