The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 406 Military Law and Military Discipline

Zhu Hongyu's face was gloomy and frightening, just sitting there, a low air pressure lingered around him.

People can't help but bow their heads, not daring to cast their eyes on him!

Zhu Hongyu was also impatient.

Since the army had just pulled out of camp yesterday, and the sentinels reported that they had encountered the Qing army's vanguard, Zhu Hongyu did not let the Ming army continue marching, but set up camp by the Yangtze River.

Groomed overnight, ready to go into battle anytime!

He just got up this morning, and he was going to have breakfast to go around the barracks, to appease the soldiers before the battle,

Then he ordered the army to continue to march towards Nanjing.

However, he had just woken up in the morning when Jin Yiwei reported a big thunder to him.

Last night, soldiers of the Ming army sneaked out of the camp and harassed several villages near the camp of the army!

The rebels looted property, raped women, and even saw blood, causing several lives!

Moreover, these rebels threatened the village with the threat of chicken thieves, and they were not allowed to go to the army to file a complaint, otherwise the village would be massacred.

If it wasn't for those rebellious soldiers who were discovered by secret sentries around the Ming army's camp on the way back to the camp, and captured them.

This matter might really be concealed by them.

The moment Zhu Hongyu heard the news, his uncontrollable anger surged up, and his not-so-clean face turned red.

How many times has he publicly emphasized the need to pay attention to military discipline!
The results of it?
On the eve of the war, someone made such a move for him!
What the hell, how much did he not take Zhu Hongyu's words seriously? !
The only thing that made Zhu Hongyu feel a little relieved was that almost all the rebels who violated the military law this time were the Guiyi Army reorganized from prisoners of war, as well as a small number of soldiers from the Zheng Army.

Soldiers of the Restoration Army were photographed in military discipline and did not dare to participate in it!

Otherwise, Zhu Hongyu would probably be pissed off!

Especially when he knew that the Qing army's Green Battalion soldiers were all fucking "loving the people like children", Zhu Hongyu became even more angry.

Co-authored, the military discipline of the Ming army is even worse than that of the Qing army?

Zhu Hongyu's old face is going to be completely lost!

"Yesterday, our army was stationed by the river, and the villages around the camp sent people to reward the army with carts and carts of supplies."

"In front of countless people, I took over the military supplies from the fathers and villagers, and made a promise that the army will be disciplined and will not disturb the people or harm the people!"

"The results of it?"

"Such an incident happened that night, are the people below taking Gu's words as fart?"

Everyone was reprimanded and dared not look up.

Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath, and then announced.

"Pass down the order to convene all the military academies to inspect, and then send people to invite all the fathers and old folks in the villages and towns around the camp to watch."

"In front of everyone, all those rebellious soldiers who dare to violate the military law will be punished in public, and their heads will be shown to the public."

"The establishment of these rebellious soldiers, and the superiors directly under them will all be dismissed, and the superiors of the superiors will be recorded as a major demerit once!"

Having said all this, Zhu Hongyu glanced around for a week, full of doubts.

His gaze focused on Zheng Chenggong for a moment, because several of the soldiers who violated military discipline this time were soldiers of Zheng Jun.

Zheng Chenggong seemed to have noticed Zhu Hongyu's gaze, bowed slightly, and spoke first.

"Leave it to His Royal Highness Jian Guo!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded in satisfaction. Anyway, Zheng Chenggong didn't hold him back in this matter.

Zheng Chenggong seemed to have made up his mind, and then spoke.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the old minister's supervision is not strict, and even what happened last night, I am really ashamed."

"In order to avoid similar incidents from happening in the future, the veteran would like to implore His Highness Jian Guo to send relevant personnel from the Military Law Department to the camp of Lao Cheng's troops."

"From now on, the Military Law Department will supervise the military law and discipline in the army for the veterans!"

Zhu Hongyu was a little surprised when he heard this, Zheng Chenggong gave up power to him again!
Since Zheng Chenggong proposed it on his own initiative, is there any reason for Zhu Hongyu not to agree?
So, he readily agreed!

After saying this, Zhu Hongyu was ready to walk away.

At this moment, Hu Dinggao stood up under tremendous pressure and interceded.

"Your Highness, the general has something to say!"

Zhu Hongyu stopped in his tracks, narrowed his eyes, and asked.

"What else do you want to say?"

Hu Dinggao took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"Reporting to Your Highness, now that the war is approaching, it is time for the soldiers to put their lives on the battlefield."

"Your Highness, please think twice, deal with those rebellious soldiers lightly, punish them with small punishments, put them into the vanguard battalion, and give them a chance to atone for their crimes!"

In Hu Dinggao's view, the army is about to go to war with the Qing captives, and it is really annoying that someone violated the military law at this time.

However, everything must be given priority to war!
The most important thing Zhu Hongyu should do now is to suppress the matter and deal with it after the war!
If it was because of the severe punishment of several rebels before the war, the morale of the army would drop.

This is not worth the candle!
The expression on Zhu Hongyu's face froze, a little complicated.

But before he opened his mouth to reject Hu Dinggao's advice, Yu Antai, Minister of Military Law, stood up and refuted.

"Hu Dinggao, as a general in the army, do you have a general's law and military discipline in your eyes?"

"Military orders are like mountains, and military laws are like the sky. They cannot be violated!"

"How can you discount military laws just because the war is approaching?"

"If today's military law department can show mercy to a group of disorderly soldiers who violated the military law just because the war is approaching."

"Then, isn't it true that every time before a battle, there will be rebels who dare to plunder the disaster and provoke the military law?"

"If so, where is the majesty of military law? Where is the majesty of Ming Dynasty?!"

"How will our military law department enforce military law in the future?!"

Having said all this, Yu Antai ignored Hu Dinggao, but bowed deeply to Zhu Hongyu.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo please decide for the innocent people who were looted by the rebels and harmed!"

Yu Antai's words completely dispelled the hesitation in Zhu Hongyu's heart.

Looking around, Zhu Hongyu spoke.

"No need to say much, just follow Gu's orders!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hongyu flung his sleeves and left.

After Zhu Hongyu left, everyone in the big tent also dispersed.

……

Zheng Chenggong returned to his big tent, summoned the generals under his command, and there was a burst of curses.

"Mother Xipi, you fucking embarrass me!"

"How do you manage your subordinates?"

"Under the eyes of His Highness Jian Guo, there are people who dare to sneak out of the camp at night to harm the common people!"

"Where do you want my old face to be placed under the Palace of Supervisors?"

"Look at what those chaos soldiers are!"

"To put it bluntly, the Guiyi Army is a group of prisoners of war, cannon fodder."

"It's okay for them to ignore military discipline. They are a bunch of bad soldiers. It's understandable, but what about me, Zheng Jun?"

"We are both in the Ming army, so why didn't anyone in the Guangfu army do anything to bring disaster to the place?"

"Aren't you ashamed?"

"Still think His Highness Jian Guo dare not kill people?"

Liu Guoxuan stood up and said.

"Please don't worry, my lord, I will rectify the soldiers and horses when I return home, and strictly enforce military discipline!"

"I promise nothing like this will ever happen again!"

Zheng Chenggong gave Liu Guoxuan a sideways look, and then continued to speak.

"No need!"

"This king has asked His Royal Highness Jian Guo to send relevant personnel from the Military Law Department to our army's camp to be responsible for our army's military law and discipline issues!"

"From now on, all the military law and discipline of my Zheng army will be done in accordance with the standards of the Guangfu Army."

When everyone heard the words, there was a lot of discussion in an instant, and many people raised objections.

There was a lot of noise in the big tent!
