After the battle in Zhao County was won, naturally some people had merit and others had faults.
Those who have merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished.
Now that the rules have been established, Wang Zheng must make sure that everyone remembers that this line cannot be crossed.
Not even half an inch.
An hour later.
The school ground next to the Zhaoxian County Government Office on the left side is already crowded with people.
Most of the local people came after the announcement. At this time, they were standing around in a bustling manner, whispering to each other from time to time, but most of them had uneasy expressions on their faces. They didn't know what these yellow scarf bandits were going to do.
Nearly five thousand sergeants in the center stood at attention, Xu Fang and others were all wearing armor and were silent.
The afternoon sun is warm, illuminating the same place but completely different scenes.
At this time, a high platform has been erected in front of the school ground and seats have been arranged.
Under the leadership of Wu Sheng, the Tianzhu battalion soldiers guarded both sides of the long steps of the high platform.
The figure, who was already taller than other soldiers, now put on black armor and raised his long spear, shining brightly under the sun, adding a lot of solemnity and murderous aura.
Suddenly they heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, and everyone followed the sound, and saw the familiar county prince's carriage approaching in the midst of the flying dust.
The moment you arrive at the school grounds.
The horn sounded.
Wang Zheng, wearing armor and carrying a sword, calmly stepped out of the carriage.
Since he had not yet been crowned, he specially tied a short bun on his head today and tied it tightly with a red rope, with both ends hanging down to the back of his neck to add a dash of heroic demeanor.
With a thought in his mind, Xu Fang and other second-level soldiers were sensed by the system, and they immediately took the lead and knelt down, shouting:
"Greetings to General Tian Gong!"
The soldiers of the Heavenly Army followed suit, and they all fell to the ground and shouted in unison: "Greetings to General Heavenly Lord!"
The shouts rose and fell like the tide, and suddenly roared, and the mountains roared and the valleys responded. The atmosphere in the whole place suddenly changed from extremely quiet to extremely dynamic, and suddenly it was boiling with excitement.
The surrounding county residents looked at each other in shock, but they also fell to their knees one by one as if they were infected.
Such a vast area of land.
Among the thousands of people who dare not look up, the Duwangzheng alone stands tall and proud.
Everything you see is bowing down and experiencing the beauty of holding power. Every minute and every second is so intoxicating that you can hardly extricate yourself.
He took a long breath, gathered his thoughts, and walked towards the high platform calmly.
After waving, everyone stood up one after another, and the venue returned to its previous appearance, except that everyone was silent, waiting for Wang Zheng's instructions.
Looking at Wu Sheng, he had already explained what he had said in advance. Wu Sheng understood and took half a step forward and said loudly:
"Zhao Fu, the First Division of the Tianfu Army..."
"The second part of Dongji..."
"Three..."
"Departure."
As Wu Sheng called names one by one, nearly a hundred soldiers of the Tianfu Army walked out of the queue.
Wu Sheng looked at the group of people in the audience indifferently and asked: "What is the first of the three prohibitions and nine orders established by General Tiangong?"
Zhao Fu and others were stunned when they heard this.
These people were among the rebels who participated in too many looting and harassing people's houses yesterday, but they stopped after Wang Zheng gave the order.
Those who disobeyed orders had already lost their lives, but they suddenly remembered something in front of the bloody corpses.
General Tiangong seems to be from Zhao County too?
After their memories were retrieved, this group of people were anxious all night. When their names were called out, everyone screamed, but they could only bravely step forward.
Unexpectedly, Wu Sheng's first sentence was not to investigate the robbery, but to ask such a question.
Nearly a hundred people looked at each other in confusion for a long time, but no one came up with an answer.
Military regulations were something that Cao Jun also had before. They had long been accustomed to going in with one ear and out with the other.
Seeing that these people couldn't even remember the three prohibitions, especially some of them were captains, Wang Zheng's expression became even colder as he sat upright.
He had long had low expectations for this group of yellow turban thieves. He had deliberately compressed and streamlined the military regulations. Unexpectedly, he pretended to be clever and showed favors several times, but they couldn't even remember them.
Wu Sheng felt something in his heart, and his ferocity became even more fierce. He already asked him to speak:
"The first of the three bans is that if you don't listen to your superior's orders in battle, you will be killed!"
When he said the last word, he was filled with murderous intent.
Hearing this, not to mention Zhao Fu and others, but also the other Tianfu soldiers on the field, immediately burst into an uproar and were all greatly surprised.
It is surprising to everyone that the crime is not to rob the people.
The severity of the punishment is far beyond the psychological endurance.
Many of the Tianfu soldiers who were watching could not help but tremble. After Zhao Fu and others came to their senses, their expressions changed drastically.
"General..." Zhao Fu looked at Wang Zheng and was about to speak bravely, but Wu Sheng had already shouted:
"The general has asked you and other three leaders before, and the order at that time was that you should be stationed in the weapons depot and granary, and you were not allowed to leave even half a step."
"You dare to leave your post without permission, how brave you are!"
Having said this, Wu Sheng waved his hand fiercely: "Come here and capture these violators!"
"General, spare your life!"
At the moment of life and death, although Zhao Fu and others were frightened out of fear, they still had some sense and knew who the person who really wanted to take their lives was.
With a few pops of sound, everyone fell to their knees on the ground, kowtowed to Wang Zheng who was sitting upright, and begged again and again:
"The villain and others are ignorant and don't know how serious this matter is, so they make mistakes out of ignorance."
"General, please spare our lives as we have been fighting for you since the uprising..."
Wang Zheng turned a deaf ear, and Wu Sheng paid no attention to it, and directly ordered the Tianzhu battalions on both sides to come forward and take the person.
"General, spare your life... spare your life..."
As the hand lifted and the knife fell, there were screams one after another, dozens of heads turned in the field, and the entire school ground fell into deathly silence.
Not to mention that the county residents nearby were all paralyzed with fear, even though this group of people had harmed them yesterday.
Even the Tianfu Army and the aunts and grandmothers who had been following them all had pale faces and dared not breathe.
Wang Zheng, who was planning such a big scene, was not prepared to just demonstrate here.
"Wu Sheng!"
As spring thunder burst from his tongue, there was a loud shout.
Wu Sheng, who spoke with authority and looked murderous and majestic just now, immediately turned around and knelt down to Wang Zheng, just like Zhao Fu and others did before.
"The end will be here."
"Just now you asked others, and now I want to ask you, what is the fifth article of the Nine Orders?"
"...Article 5 of the Nine Orders: Colleagues are not allowed to kill each other or gather in groups to fight."
"Since you know this, why did you get into a fight with Major Xu Fang over a mere quarrel half an hour ago?"
Wu Sheng opened his mouth to speak but stopped. After a moment, he still lowered his head and admitted.
"It's true..."
"Just admit it." Wang Zheng's face turned cold when he heard this, and he said sternly: "Although he knows the three prohibitions and nine orders, but still knowingly commits the crime, the crime will be increased!"
"Come here, pull Wu Sheng down and beat him with fifty military sticks!"
Immediately, the two men from the Tianzhu camp dragged their commander down, completely ignoring the public view of the situation, and stood directly beside the school ground. One of them held down Wu Sheng, who was shaking his head, and the other picked up a thick stick.
The stick was struck without any hesitation.
Under the strong wind, it seemed to be full of force, and every time the thick stick hammered down, there was a shrill scream.
Demonstration is only for thousands of people to fear, remember that military discipline is like a mountain!
No matter how harshly you punish someone who is low-ranking and distant, you will only get fear.
If you want everyone to fear instead of respect you, you need someone like Wu Sheng who has a high position and is close to you.
