Liu Xiang was very anxious. These people were delaying things and doing a disservice.
He scolded again: "Everyone, stand down!"
He didn't need their help anymore. He lifted up the ring mail, rolled it up a few times, gritted his teeth and took off the armor like taking off a sweater. The twenty kilograms of ring mail made his cheeks hurt and hurt his head.
The bun on her head was torn apart.
Liu Xiang, with disheveled hair and holding a loudspeaker, walked to the front of the high platform and shouted: "Quiet!"
The soldiers of the Anping Army fell silent first.
The people watching were startled, and gradually became quiet because they were afraid of the surrounding soldiers.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Liu Xiang said loudly: "As a general who leads the army, my soldiers are disturbing the place. I cannot escape the blame. I will be whipped for thirty years to serve as a warning to others."
After speaking, he pulled over the guard with the whip and said, "You come to execute me."
Seeing him flinching, he whispered: "This is a painful plan. Don't delay important things."
When Su Wei heard this, he nodded quickly. Liu Xiang also nodded to him to show his approval.
Liu Xiang was relieved to finally meet someone who understood.
In order to prevent him from falling while being whipped and afraid of losing face, he turned around and faced the people sitting on the ground.
Afraid of distorting her face and letting others see it, she lowered her head and let her hair cover her cheeks.
He also took out a piece of cloth and rolled it into a strip, preparing to stuff his mouth in case he screamed.
He looked back at Su Wei and saw that he was ready, so he turned around and shouted: "Execution!"
After saying that, he bit the cloth roll in his mouth, tensed his back, and prepared to be whipped.
"Pa", when he hit it for the first time, he felt okay and could hold it back. He deliberately didn't take off the lining of the armor. This was a wise choice.
"Pah", the fifth time he hit it, he was still able to withstand it. Fortunately, he chose a soft whip.
"Pop", the tenth time it hurt, he felt that it was a smart move for him to wear two layers of underwear.
"Pa", on the fifteenth stroke, it really hurts. When will it end?
"Snapped"……
"Snapped"……
"Pa"...how many times? Why isn't it over yet?
When someone supported him, Liu Xiang felt that a century had passed.
My back was burning with pain, my teeth were grinding, my muscles all over my body were shaking uncontrollably, my whole body felt weak, I wanted to exert force but couldn't find the direction to exert it, I was sweating from night to night, and the sweat flowed down my back, like needle pricks.
He took a few breaths, grabbed the arm of the guard next to him, stood up hard, pushed away the guards surrounding him, and looked at the people in the audience, feeling that they were blurry.
He used all his strength and shouted hoarsely: "I am General Anping, Liu Xiang. The Anping soldiers made mistakes, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
After speaking, he motioned to Tian Chou to read out the documents he had brought.
Tian Chou was holding Liu Xiang, hesitant. Liu Xiang urged him again before he let go.
He took out the document and read loudly: "The people who suffered this time will be compensated by the Anping General's Office.
Those who unfortunately died were given a blanket and a coffin, and were buried with the rites of a young prisoner. General Anping offered sacrifices in person, and his family gave him a pension of ten thousand yuan.
The general's office will arrange medical treatment for the injured. During the period of injury, they will receive a monthly ration of one stone. If the injury is serious and disabled and cannot be cured, the family will receive a pension of eight thousand dollars.
Those who were humiliated were compensated tens of thousands of dollars.
If any property is damaged, the General's Mansion will compensate it at the market price, with an additional compensation of 500 yuan for peace of mind.
All the above matters are coordinated and handled by Fanyang County Lieutenant."
The people in the audience were originally angry.
When I first heard that General Anping wanted to whip me, I just wanted to watch the fun and express my feelings about how cruel this man was to me.
But as they watched the whip after whip being struck on General Anping, their hearts began to loosen. They had never experienced such a big shot being whipped for the sake of Guizhou leaders like them.
They were a little overwhelmed.
Many people were relieved when they heard the announcement of pensions and compensations. The deceased had mourning and honor, and the living had doctors’ treatment and money and food compensation.
In this world where you can’t even get enough to eat, what more can you ask for? Those nobles, who care about these grassroots people in Guizhou?
General Anping is a benevolent man.
I'm just a little confused. I heard that the county captain was killed by your Anping army. Where can I find him?
Liu Xiang stood on the high platform, listening to Tian Chou reciting official documents, watching the people become more and more clear, and watching the people's expressions becoming more and more gentle. Except for a few individuals, most of them had been appeased.
This is enough.
After Tian Chou finished reading the official document, he came over to support Liu Xiang.
Seeing Tian Chou's worried look, Liu Xiang smiled at him, patted his hand, and whispered: "Zitai, don't worry, I've prepared in advance, it's nothing serious."
After saying that, he turned to look at Di Bai under the high platform, waved to him, and motioned for him to come up.
Di Bai felt that he had learned a lot today. General Anping was a ruthless man. He was whipped for thirty times without saying a word. He looked thin and frail, but he was so strong and brave.
Seeing Liu Xiang waving for him, he quickly came to the stage.
Liu Xiang said: "Bingfang, I have appointed you as the captain of Fanyang County to coordinate the compensation for the victims. You must visit carefully and make a detailed booklet and submit it to me. Are you willing?"
"Follow the general's orders, and the junior officials will do their jobs with heart and soul."
"Well, you go and deal with this matter. You must be careful and don't chill the people."
"The official resigned."
After appeasing the people, there are still soldiers to deal with.
Liu Xiang looked at the 4,000 new soldiers watching the execution and their timid expressions. Without saying anything, he turned to look at the criminal soldiers tied to the west of the high platform.
He loudly said: "Wherever you go, you abuse the people and rape the women. This is called a traitorous army, and it is a serious crime in the army.
Remembering that you have only been in the army for a short period of time and have never understood the military regulations, I will take your place today and spare you from the death penalty.
However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. All criminals will be punished with fifty military sticks.
Wait, do you agree or not?"
When the criminal soldiers saw Liu Xiang whipping them, they all thought that the general was ruthless and would definitely chop off their heads.
Now that I heard that I didn't have to die, I didn't care about the fifty army sticks. I quickly knelt down to thank you and shouted:
"Thank you General for not killing me!"
"Thank you General!"
"General Enyi!"
Liu Xiang waited for their shouts to weaken, and then asked loudly: "I ask you, do you accept it or not?"
The guilty army replied loudly: "We are convinced!"
Liu Xiang threw away the loudspeaker and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to execute him.
2,232 criminal soldiers were pushed to the ground, one hundred people in a team, and they were beaten neatly one after another as they were counted.
Liu Xiang didn't want to beat them to death, so he used a shoulder pole for execution. If he used a twelve-pound military stick or fifty sticks, he could kill someone, but he would still be disabled even if he didn't die.
More than two thousand people were beaten together, which was quite a sight. No matter what happened, if it was on a large scale, it would have more of an impact on the soul.
The recruits and civilians who came to watch the execution were all shocked by such a grand scene. Every time they were beaten, they gasped and looked as if they were going to be beaten soon.
Liu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, this matter was finally settled.
He used a cruel trick to gain some morale from the military and the people.
There is no way, Liaodong invades the territory, peeks up the valley, Beidi covets, the imperial army is not far away, the situation is unfavorable. He needs to seize Zhuojun and accumulate more men, horses, territory and food and baggage to cope with the consumption of the war.
