Chapter 1112: Purge Military Discipline
The Hami Central Army tent was filled with generals from various army, and everyone lowered their eyes.
Zhu Cilang sat in the main seat of the central army tent. Wu Zhong and Cao Minghao stood on both sides, with Han King Zhu He Ji and Jiujiang Marquis Li Yu in the lower heads. They secretly glanced at the Suning Marquis Lu Xiangkun and the State-State General Zhu Shengzhi kneeling in the middle.
The camps of the Eastern Army Governor's Office were uneven and the military discipline was dispersed, which made the emperor angry and issued an edict to order generals above the brigade commander of each department to be brought into the tent. When everyone came, they saw hundreds of people tied up outside the gate, and they guessed that the emperor was going to be prepared to kill people and strictly enforce military discipline!
Therefore, they were silent and did not dare to speak easily.
Zhu Ciyang glanced at the Ministry of Military Law below and said lightly: "Ministry Law, our Ming army, what crime should those who have disbanded military discipline be punished?"
Pan Ji, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Military Law, came out and replied loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, the camp is not in order, the discipline is scattered, and he laughs, despises the ban, and criticizes the military gate. This is a light army, and the offenders are killed!"
Zhu Cixuan asked again: "How many people are involved?"
Pan Ji replied: "One person is light in the army, Shangguan is in charge. If Shangguan finds that he will not sue, he will behead him together!"
Zhu Cixuan looked up at Zhu Shengzhi, the general of the State, and said coldly: "You have a bad camp under your rule, and your subordinates are light troops, do you know?"
Zhu Shengzhi was the commander of the Eastern Army Governor's Office and the legitimate grandson of Zhu Huakui, the title of the King of Chu. According to the title reform of the Tianwu Dynasty, the title of the vassal king decreased for generations. By the generation of Zhu Shengzhi, the title of the title became the general of the country.
He knew that his descendants would become Bai Ding if they did not make meritorious service, so he entered the Military Academy and joined the army. Because he was a clan of the royal family and had the title of General of Zhenguo, he became a brigade commander in the Governor's Office of the Eastern Army.
After hearing the emperor's interrogation, Zhu Shengzhi was so scared that he leaned on the ground and replied in a low voice: "Report to Your Majesty, I don't know... I set up camp and restrain the generals, and they are all the people below who are doing it..."
Hearing his answer, Zhu Cixuan slapped the table in anger, pointed at him and shouted, "It's all the people below who are doing it? As a military coach, what are you doing?"
"The last general...the last general...is the last general's negligence!"
"Just confess your guilt!"
Zhu Cilang put his hands on his hips and gritted his teeth in anger. Then he pointed at the gate and shouted: "Behead the fifty light soldiers, including their Shangguan, Bai General, Battalion General, Regiment General, Brigade Commander, and all the main officials! Lu Xiangkun, the Hou of Suning, rod forty military sticks!"
"Also, the legal soldiers on duty are not supervised properly and they will all be executed!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals in the tent were shocked and asked for them.
Xu Mingwu couldn't help but shake his face a few times, and thought that this wave of involvement was so complete. The soldier committed a crime and directly implicated the commander of the first army, and even the brigade commander was executed!
"His Majesty, please calm down!"
Zhao Shixiang, the Minister of the Pianpainting Department, coughed lightly and replied: "Your Majesty, the general of the country, is dedicated to serving the country. I ask Your Majesty to punish the great commandments and spare his life..."
Zhu Cilang's face darkened and looked at him and said, "Are you teaching me to do things?"
"I dare not..." The old minister wiped his forehead and sweated coldly and retreated to the team...
Zhu Cilang said coldly: "The military system is complete, the orders are enforced, the standards are set, the four arts are emphasized, the military discipline is strict, and the rewards and punishments are important. This is the army spirit of our Ming army, and if you violate it, you will die!"
As he said that, with a wave of his hand, the Imperial Guard Lu Xiangkun, the Marquis of Suning, and the General of Zhenguo Zhu Shengzhi, immediately took him away.
Laws are the first, and crimes are not changed, and there is no grudge outside the law. The law of reducing sentences is destroyed. Zhu Cilang has always adhered to this principle and no one can speak for it!
"Your Majesty, please spare your life..."
"Your Majesty, the last general knows that he is wrong, the last general..."
Before Zhu Shengzhi finished speaking, he was dragged out of the central army's tent.
The Marquis of Suning, Lu Xiangkun, said nothing, completely confessed his guilt and was cheated by the clan's family. What can he do? He blamed himself for being too polite to the clan's family, which was not good at restraint and caused trouble...
Zhu Cilang turned around and sighed inwardly. It was not that he wanted to kill someone, but that he had to kill someone to establish his authority!
The Ming army finally relied on the iron military discipline to have a complete set of military souls and forged a steel army. This is a kind of spiritual power that will infect everyone around you and be passed on from generation to generation!
On the contrary, if this spiritual power is destroyed, it will also affect the people around you, and the military discipline will be dispersed and the army will be decomposed.
Think about the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty in history. When they entered the pass, they had outstanding combat power and dared to fight and fight, they could be called a ban. However, twenty years after entering the pass, they became corrupt very quickly. The generals of the Eight Banners falsely reported their achievements, embezzled military pay, solicited bribes, and spent all their money. Some of them also started to play the bad behavior of raising enemies to respect themselves.
There were several prosperous times and revivals in the Ming Dynasty. During the prosperous times, the army was just a decoration, and this was also the time when the army was most likely to be corrupt.
In the Tianwu Dynasty, the world has been peaceful for ten years. The soldiers who have not fought for a long time can easily become soldiers and signs of **** have appeared.
To prevent bad things, we need to start from small matters. Zhu Cilang would rather do a big deal than prevent problems from happening and curb this trend!
In the big tent, it was extremely quiet. Suddenly, three soul-chasing cannons sounded, and several young generals in the tent were frightened and their bodies shook unnaturally.
The soul-chasing cannon is a cannon fired before killing people. As long as the cannon is set off, it means that the person is gone!
Sure enough, not long after, a school official came to report: "Report to Your Majesty, Governor Lu's forty soldiers have finished his sticks and pokers, and all 118 light army soldiers have been executed!"
"knew."
Zhu Cilang waved his hand, looked at the generals in the tent, and said solemnly: "The royal family and noble children are not privileges, and they cannot be privileged in the army!"
"There is no father and son in the army. I hope that you can treat the King of Han and other royal families equally! If the King of Han violates military orders, he will be punished according to military law, and I will never pursue it!"
After hearing these murderous words, King Zhu Heji of Han paled, and he felt a tight curse on his head, and he was exhausted.
He believed that his emperor father would definitely do such a thing!
The other nobles were even more anxious and suddenly felt that joining the army was not pleasant.
A royal family member was executed in an instant, and this psychological impact put a lot of pressure on them.
Subsequently, Zhu Cixuan appointed King Zhu Heji of Han as the commander of the Eastern Army Governor's Office and took over Zhu Shengzhi's five thousand troops.
He also ordered deputy positions of various departments to replace the general who was killed and dereliction of duty. Xu Mingwu was arranged under the command of the King of Han and became a deputy general.
......
Two days later, the 100,000 Ming army left Hami, carrying a large amount of military rations and supplies, continued to advance westward, embarking on the journey to reinforce the Ili River Valley!
When he arrived in Turpan, Zhu Cilang saw that the Western Protectorate Palace had left Yili in full bloom. Turpan was empty and worried that the enemy would take advantage of the situation, so he left 20,000 troops to guard the situation, and all the rest advanced westward.
On March 18, good news came from the front line. Zhou Yuji, Duke of Dingguo, led 50,000 troops to conquer the Northern Army and successfully restrained the Russian army and the Junggar coalition forces in the Yenisei River.
Qi Guangyang, the great defender of the Western Expedition Army who captured the Ili River Valley, decisively took advantage of the situation and sent 30,000 troops to sweep the Junggar tribe and fight against the rebellion!
