As soon as Li Kuo walked into the military camp, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. The young man looked around at everyone and frowned slightly. These guys were drinking in the military camp behind his back!
Although the wine jars and wine glasses had been taken away, the soldiers could not explain the blush on their faces and the sour breath coming out of their mouths. Because they felt guilty, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly into the eyes of their general.
"Dou Qing, come here!" Seeing that the other party's face was flushed, Li Kuo became angry for a moment and called his confidants by name. "Have you been drinking?"
"General, I...we..." Dou Qingtong blushed and didn't know what to say. Even if he tried to quibble, the smell of alcohol floating in the military camp was an indisputable fact.
The young man had read everything from his eyes. He pushed Dou Qing away with a frustrated face and swept diagonally across the way, catching Nini's sledgehammer in one go.
"Sledgehammer, what is behind you?" The young man's sharp eyes seemed to penetrate Pu Dachui's body and he asked sternly.
"It's nothing. I, Mr. Pu, just had a chat with a few brothers." Pu Dachui waved his hand quickly, but the smile on his face was extremely stiff.
"Get out of the way!"
"Ah, General, I really..." Pu Dacheng waved his hands repeatedly, but his body did not move at all.
"I told you to get out of the way!" The young man's voice was cold, making Pu Dahamui's body tremble with excitement.
Reluctantly, he turned around and rushed towards the general who was there and shrugged his shoulders. Lao Pu finally surrendered.
The dice and money on the table said everything. They not only drank in the military camp, but also gathered together to gamble!
The anger that had accumulated in the young man's chest suddenly burst out, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "All those who drink and gamble, come forward, don't drag your brothers down and be punished too!"
Li Kuo and his brothers from Tongwu Camp have been through life and death, and Li Kuo has already regarded each other as family members. It is precisely because of this that he cannot see any corruption in them. Everyone has just returned from the battle in Longyou and wants to take a rest.
He can understand it. If the brothers asked for leave together to go to Chang'an City to eat, drink and gamble, he would not say no. But a military camp is a military camp. If everyone follows their own temper, what's the point?
Military discipline, what’s the fighting power?
If he doesn't punish them now, this trend will be fostered and the entire Tongwu Camp and the entire Shule Army will be destroyed.
Pu Dachui was the first to take a step forward, followed closely by Dou Qing, Wang Xiaochun and a total of thirteen others who stood up one after another. Although they blatantly violated military regulations, they still had some courage! Li Kuo felt a little relieved, but his face was filled with anger.
The intensity remains undiminished.
"The military regulations clearly state that drinking, gambling, and soliciting prostitutes are prohibited! I have been away for only a few days, and you have turned the military camp into a wine shop and gambling house. In a few days, are you going to recruit some red aunties from Beili to open a Fengyue Tower?
After giving everyone a hard look, Li Kuo continued: "I can't control what happens to other armies, but our Tongwu Camp and our Shule Army must not violate military discipline and rules! If it is done in wartime,
, you are so drunk that you will have your heads cut off by the enemy troops who raid at night!"
Having lived in Chang'an City for a long time, Li Kuo certainly knew the so-called military discipline and style of the Forbidden Army. Most of the Forbidden Army recruited members of wealthy families, with a strong air of dandyism. These rich young men had lived in fine clothes since they were young and had never suffered much, so naturally they couldn't stand the harsh conditions of the military camp.
Boredom and loneliness, drinking and gambling have become the norm. When the mood arises, it is not impossible to visit the brothels and bring back one or two women.
But they are the forbidden army and do not need to go into battle to kill the enemy. It is understandable that they are drunk and dreaming. But the soldiers led by Li Kuo have to go into battle to fight with the enemy! The newly recruited Long March athletes have not yet been integrated into the system of the third battalion. If
Seeing that your comrades are all like this, why don't you follow the gourd's example and imitate each other like a fox or a dog? If there is one, there are two. If this unhealthy trend is not suppressed, I am afraid it will destroy the Tongwu Camp and ruin it.
This Shule army.
"According to military regulations, gathering people in the military camp to drink alcohol and gamble is to be beheaded! But this is not a war, and since you are the first offenders, I will be lenient as appropriate. I will give you forty blows each. Do you have any objection?"
Although the young man's words were a question, they did not mean the slightest bit of discussion. It was obvious after everyone looked at each other. His general had decided on one thing and would not change it easily. Although he usually looked kind and kind, that was because
Everyone is trying to win face for him, and if he really gets angry, the General is no softer than the Thunder Goddess and the Lightning Mother.
"I, Mr. Pu, have no objections!" Pu Dachui was very carefree. He just wanted to get slapped on the wall, that's all!
"Please punish me, General!" Dou Qing lowered his head and replied in a shameful voice. This incident happened because of him. It's a shame that the General regarded him as a confidant, but he actually caused such embarrassment to Your Excellency.
"Please punish me, General!"
Everyone is a tough man, and they will not blink an eye when they hear what is said. Since they have made a mistake, they must be brave enough to bear the responsibility. If the responsibility is passed to Baoze at this juncture, how will they behave in the future?
We are all tough men, there is no need to risk your reputation just to escape a slap in the face.
"Okay, forty bucks each, and they will be tortured outside the camp!" Li Kuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if they could say this themselves.
Not long after, thirteen Tongwu officers, who had gathered to drink and gamble, lay down in the open space outside the camp gate, lined up. Behind them stood two robes holding military sticks. Such a spectacular scene was natural.
It attracted many soldiers to stop and watch. Most of them were recruited Long March athletes and had never seen a military stick in a military camp. This was the first time, how could they miss it?
Li Kuo stood at the gate of the camp and was sentenced on the spot. Although he was heartbroken, he had to make this decision. If the general is not powerful, the army will be disadvantaged. If the law is not strict, the army will not be deterred. To run the army strictly, this is everyone's decision.
It is a rule that generals must abide by. Perhaps it is because I usually treat them too leniently that this tendency develops.
"Start the execution!" Li Kuo waved his hand and issued the military order.
"General Pu, I'm offended!" A sergeant who was in charge of the punishment nodded to Pu Dachui. Pu Touer was kind to people and took good care of him. Although I don't know why I offended the general today, but the military law is like a mountain, since it has been violated
If you make a mistake, you will be punished.
"Hehe, I, Lao Pu, have a hard body. Come on, kid."
Pu Dachui didn't care, however, and smiled heartily at the other party. Before the smile on his lips dissipated, he felt the armor on his body being lifted up and folded on his back, and his outer trousers were quickly peeled off.
Seeing that the torturer was about to reach his waist, Pu panicked with his sledgehammer: "Hey, just hit me with the board, it's so troublesome. Boy, hit me quickly, I have to go back to sleep after beating me."
."
The sergeant who was in charge of the torture said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Putou, you don't know something. All the torturers in our camp have to take off their clothes and use the rod."
Pu Dachui trembled when he heard this, "What, take off your clothes?"
After a while, he finally understood what he meant, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Get dressed as you please. You will be quicker, and it will make me less ugly."
"Hey." Although the sergeant felt like a knife was twisting in his heart, he was helpless. He reached out to Pu Dachui's tight-fitting pants, and with a little force, he pulled off the white tie. The executioner pulled down the pants to the bend of his knees.
, revealing Pu Dachui’s strong, dark buttocks.
Pu Dachui felt his buttocks feel cold and his middle pants had been stripped off. Although he was a carefree man, he also had his own taboos. It was a bit embarrassing to be tortured with his bare buttocks in front of everyone.
Burying his head in his arms, Pu Dachui did not dare to look at the gazes of the people around him.
Although the remaining twelve Ming officers were reluctant, they reluctantly agreed to the executioner's request and were stripped of their underwear.
For a moment, a string of buttocks of different colors and shades were lined up outside the camp gate...
"Put down the stick!" Chen Chong, who joined the army, shouted loudly, and several of the executioners put the dark military sticks with flat heads on the buttocks of the officers.
"beat!"
As soon as the order was given, the sound of crackling sticks was heard outside the camp gate, and everyone's originally fair buttocks instantly turned pink.
"five!"
"six!"
"..."
"ten!"
Ten sticks had passed, and everyone's buttocks were already turning green. Some officers who couldn't bear it even shouted out. It was okay if he didn't shout, but when he shouted, the officer who slapped him hit harder. The men in the military camp respected him the most.
Heroes look down on weaklings the most. But after being beaten with a military stick and crying for father and mother, it is really embarrassing for a man.
When the punishment was over half, most of them had bruises under their skin, and the blue was already tinged with purple.
Even though he was as tough as a sledgehammer, he still groaned faintly.
"twenty one"
"..."
"Twenty-six!"
"Twenty-seven!"
The torture stick was raised high and hit Pu Dachui's buttocks. With a slight drag, the skin was broken and blood came out.
There are also many things to pay attention to when hitting a military stick. If it hits the buttocks with force and bounces up quickly, although the injury does not appear to be serious, it will leave all internal injuries. Like just a little bit, the oily skin is broken, although it looks like
There was a lot of blood, but no bones or muscles were hurt.
These executioners are all veterans, how could they let Pu Dachui and the others suffer?
"Thirty-five!"
"Thirty-six!"
"..."
"thirty-nine!"
"forty!"
After the last stick was smashed down, the forty army sticks were finally beaten.
After Chen Chong, who joined the army, reported the amount, he raised his head and asked Li Kuo for instructions.
Li Kuo couldn't bear to leave them alone, so he waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to help them back to the tent.
ps: To be honest, Qilang's punishment is already considered light. If it were placed with the military god Li Jing, Lao Pu and the others would still lose their skin even if they didn't die!
