On the path in Xiangshan County, Zhou Xing led two followers to ride a horse and walked lightly, looking anxious.

Chen Mu's trip back and forth between the Yellow and Liangdu was overjoyed by the fact that he had traveled back and forth to pacify the thieves of Huangliangdu in just three days. When he received the news, Xu Laoyao's head had been teleported to Guangcheng, but he had not had time to be happy. He heard that Chen Mu's speculation about Zeng Yiben and Xu Jinmei's desire to attack Guangzhou.

When Zhou walked to Qianhu House in Xiangshan, a high platform was set up on the open space of Qianhu House, and the flag army was executing.

More than seventy people were remembered for the first offense, and each of them had twenty military sticks.

The crackling sounds were endless, and the entire Qianhu Suo's flag army and Yu Ding were gathered together. In the sun, he watched the sticks and meat from the sticks, and listened to the screams, making people feel cold on their backs.

Sun Ao took the lead in the execution, and he and Deng Zilong were also punished. One of them was fined three months' salary and the other was fined one month's salary.

Deng Zilong was late to lead his troops, but Sun Ao didn't arrive directly. No matter what mountain road was bombed or there was no road at all, the military law ignored these things.

Chen Mu specifically instructed Sun Ao, who was executed, to ask his flag army to attack him not to beat him to death, and to beat him to death. Not to mention twenty military sticks, he could beat him to lifelong disabled with just one stick.

But even so, the injury will not recover within two months.

After four rounds, more than seventy people on the battlefield dispersed from Shangguan's order and went to pick up money. They were afraid to fight and finished packing up. They were each supported by the flag army and barely stood under the high platform, snotting and tears.

Sometimes crying is not a coward, but it is not difficult to hold back tears when it is painful, and humiliation cannot be done.

Dare to be angry but not speak out is humiliation to the flag army.

The flag army under Fu Yuan's subordinates all came from the tenant farmers' home in Xiangshan County. They had no courage to go out to sea to plunder, nor had the talent to recruit scholars in the imperial examination. They worked for the landlords all year round, and exchanged a few stones of rice and grain for a living. They had never seen a few taels of silver in their lifetime.

More than one pound of silver ingots were thrown all over the ground. As long as you bend over, you can pick them up. Who can resist it?

Twenty taels of silver were placed in front of them when they were relocated, and the poor and afraid of being killed by the whole family dared to do it.

Before the Yinzi was heated up, he was taken away by Shangguan Suo and returned to the ward station to get beaten up. Who would not feel wronged?

"Mr. Chen ordered you to be beaten. One person has twenty military sticks. Do you know why? I don't know, there are two reasons!"

After the execution, Chen Mu walked up to the platform, waved his hand and swept over the soldiers who were being punished, and said, "The thieves in Huangliangdu are just small characters, not even considered enemies. There is no bloody battle or wave battle. Twenty-two people died in the mountain attack of Qianhushu, three died on the mountain, eight were carried down the mountain to save six, twenty-seven flag soldiers were killed, and one lost his arms and two became cripples."

"You go to war and die when you fight. You keep your head on your waist, not to say that you can defend your country, born and raised here, and it is not an exaggeration to protect your country. If you don't fight bravely to fight against the enemy, you will go to grab the profits of war, and others are trying hard to get blood. If you get money, is that the money you deserve?"

"One of the reasons is that you violate the military law and secretly hide profits. This is because you have only twenty military sticks for the first time. Otherwise, if you are fined for half a year, what will your family live?"

"The second reason is that you deserve to die! The enemy on the battlefield is facing a big enemy, but he abandoned his robbery and snatched the small profits of the fly heads and ended up in chaos in the military formation. If the flag army had not yet awakened to stop the enemy, even if he had robbed money, would you still come back alive?"

"I will only pull more comrades to die together!"

In fact, Chen Mu could understand that even though he stood on the high platform, he could understand the behavior of his flag army in his heart.

Understanding is understanding, but people have feelings and the law is ruthless, especially when it comes to clarifying the military law involves the interests of everyone on the battlefield in the future.

"After the punishment, I remember everything in my heart. Follow Chen, listen to Chen, and I dare not say that I will make each of you rich and noble, but I will never let you and Yu Ding go hungry and cold. After the war is over, Chen will naturally reward those who have meritorious people. It is yours, it is yours, not yours. What can I do if I rob it? Pay it to Baihu!"

Fu Yuanzheng, who was standing in the audience, stood up straight and listened. Suddenly, he heard Chen Mu calling his name so scared that he was clever. He no longer had the courage to lead his troops to rush to kill the thieves. He looked up and saw Chen Mu pointing toward him.

Although he couldn't understand the meaning of Chen Mu's action, Fu Yuan still stepped onto the stage in two steps and stood up, bowing and saying, "Thousand Houses..."

Chen Mu waved his hand toward him. Wei Balang came over with a wooden box and opened it. He had neatly packed silver. Chen Mu took out two ingots and took it to Fu Yuan and said, "Fu Baihu is brave in fighting and is the first to attack the village gate. Shu Wu is meritorious when he meets the lure and is rewarded forty taels of silver. Take it, I hope you will fight bravely in the future."

After Fu Yuan thanked him, Chen Mu called Shi Qi up and rewarded him ten taels. Then there were more than 50 flag troops in two hundred households, including some flag troops that had been beaten for picking up silver on the battlefield. They all received three to five taels of heads based on their merits, but had no heads but had one tael of heroic combat, and five coins for those who had fought.

In addition, the injured were five cents of decoction and five cents of silver for the injury; two taels of pensions were given to the family members, and one Yu Ding was replenished as a flag army.

All the silver rewards were handed over to Junyu by Chen Mu, which seemed to have become the tradition of Chen Qianhu when he distributed silver and grain.

When he held his wrist and handed the silver to the flag army, Chen Mu said one or two words of encouragement to everyone.

"I saw you. I was very brave in fighting. I will make contributions next time. Chen will reward you with silver!"

"I'm fine when I was punished. After healed, I'm a hero again. I'll follow military orders when fighting, and some will be rewarded in the future!"

"I remember you have two sons. Summer is just around the corner. Use this silver to buy some cotton for winter clothes, so don't let the baby get frozen!"

Even those flag soldiers who were beaten for military law could not feel dissatisfied at this time. Everyone who received the reward was happy and grateful. Even those who did not receive the reward were also flickeringly looking at Chen Qianhu on the high platform.

"Don't sigh if you don't have any rewards. Practice diligently. There are still some wars to fight in a few days. Let's come back alive! Let's break up!"

In less than two hours, Chen Mu didn't feel any distress. In the past few days, Guangzhou Prefecture would have given up the rewards for the local thieves of Huangliangdu. Even if one head level is only two taels, and more than seventy corpses still have hundreds of taels of silver, he still made a lot of money.

If you have the remaining silver, you can consider changing the flag army. The leather and iron armor are still very small.

If you have good armor and use several times the strength and better weapon advantages to fight against the local thieves in Huangliangdu, you will have at least ten less casualties!

The flag army dispersed in a mess. When Chen Mu turned around, he found that Xiangshan County Magistrate Zhou Xing was waiting with the yamen runners, and watched Chen Mu walk down with a smile.

"Why tell Chen when the magistrate Zhou comes?" Chen Mu asked Qi Zhengyan, the leader of the family soldier, and approached and bowed, "Brother Zhou, why should I go there personally? Just let my hands come down and pass on the words if you have anything to do."

"It's okay, Chen Qianhu, don't blame the soldiers. Zhou refused to let the news. Zhou just saw what rewards and punishments are the letters!"
