Chapter 181 Gathering the hearts of the army and the people
Li Zhen's self-punishment shocked Ye Chengzhong.
It's so good, why should you punish yourself?
Ye Chengzhong looked at Li Zhen and persuaded: "Master Li, the murderer has paid his life and the accomplices have been punished. You don't have to punish yourself. You are a Shanghai Taoist and have a lot of things to do every day. You not only have to deal with military affairs, but also the affairs of foreigners.
, I am already so busy that I don’t have enough time to inquire about the affairs of the army in detail. Besides, if there are too many soldiers in the army, there will always be one or two black sheep. This is normal, and it cannot be all your responsibility!"
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "If I don't punish myself, how can I serve the people? How can I manage the army? I have made up my mind and there is no need to persuade me."
Ye Cheng was helpless and scratched his head and ears anxiously.
Li Zhen strode down the high platform, and Ye Chengzhong followed suit. Li Zhen came to the front of the soldiers of the Jiandao Camp, lay down on a bench, waved to the soldiers standing next to him, and shouted: "Execution, forty military sticks!
"
The executioner's soldier scratched his head and said, "Commander, this is inappropriate!"
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "This is an order!"
"You are so handsome!"
Huang Shihai hurriedly came over and persuaded: "You entrusted me with all the affairs of the military camp. Now that something has happened, I am the one who will be punished, not you. I will be punished for you, and I will be punished by the Forty Army again."
stick!"
Yang Banhou also came over and said loudly: "Commander, as the direct leader of the Jian Dao Battalion, I don't understand the situation of the soldiers, so I am the one who deserves to be punished. Commander, don't punish yourself, I will suffer the consequences of the Forty Army again."
stick."
"Damn it, this is a military order."
Li Zhen watched the two people begging for mercy. Although he knew that he would still be punished, he was quite satisfied in his heart.
Immediately, Smith, Lu Shaochuan, Qi Zhenhai and others also begged for mercy and asked Li Zhen to cancel his self-punishment. Li Zhen shook his head firmly. To leave a deep impression on all the soldiers, he must set an example. The soldiers watched their superiors being punished,
He felt uncomfortable, and the officer also felt uncomfortable watching his leader being punished.
Li Zhen wanted to use this lesson to completely resist the unhealthy tendencies in the army.
"thump!"
Lu Shaochuan suddenly knelt down and shouted: "Commander, we all know that you lead by example, let's forget it this time. Cao Cao led his soldiers into the wheat field and should have been beheaded, but he only cut off his hair instead of his head. Just cut it off."
A small piece of hair should be considered as punishment."
When Li Zhen heard this, he was immediately amused.
Immediately, Li Zhen shouted: "Have you forgotten the rule of not kneeling? Get up, you are not allowed to kneel."
Lu Shaochuan shook his head and said, "I won't get up unless you cancel the punishment."
"You,... okay, just continue to kneel."
Li Zhen looked at the soldiers beside him and shouted: "Execution!"
The soldier couldn't defeat Li Zhen, so he had to hit him with a stick, but the slap on his butt was light and had no force at all. Li Zhen shouted: "You haven't eaten? If you don't have the strength, get out and find someone else."
"Commander, be careful, the villain has offended you."
The executing soldier sighed, leaned the stick against his body, spat on the palms of his left and right hands, then held the stick with both hands and struck it down with one blow.
"boom!"
The stick touched his flesh, and the pain penetrated into his bones. Li Zhen grabbed the bench with both hands, and his face instantly turned red as if he had eaten chili peppers, just like a red-faced Guan Gong. However, the pain on his face was so intense that he couldn't help but feel it.
It melted away and kept hovering on his face. As the stick came down one after another, Li Zhen's butt suffered.
"Commander, that's enough, that's really enough!"
Huang Shihai also knelt down with a plop and asked Li Zhen to reduce the punishment of the cane.
Li Zhen shook his head and asked Huang Shihai to get up again, but Huang Shihai also followed Lu Shaochuan's example and knelt down.
Li Zhen asked the soldiers to help Lu Shaochuan and Huang Shihai up, but it had no effect. Zhou Xiuying stood in the crowd, gritting her teeth, clenching her fists, and a look of pain in her eyes. Although the stick hit Li Zhen and it hurt to the bone, but
Zhou Xiuying's heart also felt painful, and crystal tears flowed from her eyes.
The three hundred female soldiers were also very nervous. They had seen blood and had lost their courage, but they were also shocked when they saw today's scene.
"Plop! Plop!!"
Suddenly, Qi Zhenhai, Yang Banhou, Smith and others all knelt down, including Zhou Xiuying, with tears in their eyes, begging Li Zhen to reduce the punishment with the cane. Ye Cheng was deeply affected by this situation and knelt down.
Request. He was really convinced by Li Zhen. Everyone persuaded him, but Li Zhen did not waver and allowed the execution soldiers to continue.
After twenty beatings with batons, Li Zhen's buttocks were already covered in blood.
Even though Li Zhen was strong and strong, he felt waves of pain coming continuously, impacting his nerves.
After thirty rounds of beatings with batons, Li Zhen's spirit began to wane.
At this time, Li Zhen was still awake, but his face was full of tiredness. No one who had been beaten with thirty military sticks would be as energetic as if he had been hit with five million. At this time, every blow with a stick
As you go down, you can see a trace of blood splashing out, which is extremely cruel.
"brush!!"
Suddenly, more than a hundred soldiers from the Sharp Blade Battalion all knelt down.
Immediately afterwards, the other ordinary soldiers standing in the school grounds also knelt down. At this moment, all the military hearts were united, and all the soldiers were impressed by Li Zhen. Regardless of Li Zhen's past, they all deeply admired Li Zhen at this moment.
Zhen. As the saying goes, a raging soldier will bring a raging den. Li Zhen led by example and united the military spirit. It also made all the soldiers start to reflect and warned themselves that they would never do anything like the big beard in the future, and they would never harm the commander-in-chief.
"Master Qingtian!"
Suddenly, the people shouted, and soon everyone knelt down.
Regardless of whether these people saved up to watch the show, they are all convinced at this moment.
In the campus of Nuo Nuo University, except for the two soldiers who were sweating like rain, they all knelt down. Looking at it, the darkness was extremely spectacular. This was not kneeling outside the Bauhinia City to beg for mercy. This was not kneeling outside the county government to beg for mercy.
Soldiers who care about Li Zhen. When Li Zhen saw everyone kneeling down, he said solemnly: "Huang Shihai, order all the soldiers to stand up."
Huang Shihai gave the order, but no one stood up.
Li Zhen took a deep breath and shouted: "If you give the order again, if everyone doesn't get up, I will punish myself with ten army sticks."
"Commander, you can't do it!"
Huang Shihai was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, but he heard Li Zhen shout: "I'll count three, three!..."
As soon as he counted a number, Huang Shihai stood up immediately and said quickly: "No, don't be like this. I will get up, and we will all get up." Huang Shihai was worried and asked the soldiers to pass on Li Zhen's order. The soldiers knew about Li Zhen's order.
Everyone stood up, but their expressions were sad, and there were tears in their eyes. The people also stood up, and when they looked at Li Zhen, they all choked with sobs.
It is a blessing for the people in Shanghai to have such officials.
Li Zhen looked at the expressions of the soldiers and people and felt it was worth it.
Only with such soldiers can a steel-like army be built; only with such an army can the dream in one's heart be realized; only by enduring the pain now can one realize the sweetness in the future.
