Chapter 9 Exited from the military
Royal Palace
The emperor looked at the news sent and said to Ning Youbei: "Your princess is really not afraid of offending people. She fined 3,000 people on the first day."
Ning Youbei had known what happened in the city defense camp for a long time, and he appreciated Qu Chu a little more.
"I thought Qu Chu would only fight head-on, but I didn't expect her to be flexible."
Isn't it?
Although the three thousand people were late today, they went there. This means that they were not obeying military discipline at all, but were used to being lazy.
These three thousand people are worthy of winning.
If Qu Chu punished them severely today, they would be afraid that they would be dissatisfied and would be resentful. But today, Qu Chu would be afraid of them for their small punishments, but they would not be dissatisfied.
After today, as long as Qu Chu's next actions are fair and just, they will easily obey Qu Chu.
...
The emperor smiled and said to Ning Youbei, "You underestimate Qu Chu too much. How could a person who can firmly control hundreds of thousands of troops is a reckless man?"
Ning Youbei naturally knew this truth, but now Qu Chu is his princess, so he can't tell her too much.
"But whether the city defense force can be subdued tomorrow is the key, let's wait and see!"
...
At the same time, the General's Mansion
He Dabao is reporting:
"General, the list has been counted. Those who are not late today are children of ordinary families. Those who are late are relatives, friends, etc. of wealthy families or powerful families. Those who are not here are children of powerful families."
Qu Chu signaled that he knew, "Tomorrow, five hundred people will go to the military camp with me."
He Dabao asked: "General, if more than 4,000 people who did not come today still don't come tomorrow, do you really plan to expel them all from the army?"
Qu Chu: "When did you see your general keep your word?"
He Dabao had a bitter face, "But there are more than 4,000 people."
"There will be some people who will come tomorrow. As for those who have not come, they will be fired. Anyway, they only pay for money and don't work. Besides, I will fire them all, and the happiest thing is the emperor."
Save a lot of money!
"Will the people who come tomorrow really beat them twenty military sticks?"
"Of course, otherwise what would I do if I want you to order five hundred people? I'm just to get military sticks for me."
He Dabao understood that tomorrow will be a bloody day.
The twenty-square stick is not like the five-square stick. Not only will your butt blossom if you really hit it, you may have to cultivate for several days.
Wu Dagang disagrees:
"The twenty military sticks are too cheap. I will kill the enemy on the frontier and exchange my life for my life to get military pay. It is unfair that these bastards will get money if they do nothing!"
Qu Chu said in the end: Isn’t that true? Like herself, she can only survive to this day by killing her life!
...
At the beginning of the next day, Qu Chu brought Wu Dagang, He Dabao and 500 soldiers to the city defense camp with murderous aura.
This time, Chang Weijun's subordinates came to welcome Qu Chu. "Admiral Chang inspected the city guard and patrol work today, and let the last general accompany the general."
Qu Chu laughed in his heart: I know that something big is going to happen today, so I hide.
But Qu Chu doesn't care.
She had no worries in Yudu, and was not afraid of offending the powerful people who were not as good as Chang Weijun.
Qu Chu took Wu Dagang and He Dabao stood on the platform, and 500 soldiers were arranged on both sides.
Qu Chu made a call to gather.
After the time for a cup of tea, more than 8,000 people arrived at the school.
It seems that the Killing Stick of yesterday was still useful, but this is more than 3,000 more people than yesterday.
Qu Chu asked He Dabao to bring people to count the number of people, and all those who did not come were expelled from the military.
After counting the number of people, a total of 1,832 people were not there except those on duty.
Qu Chu asked He Dabao to register the 1,832 people, and then asked those who did not come yesterday to stand alone.
"I said yesterday that each person who did not come yesterday was beaten 20 military sticks and is now sentenced."
A city defense soldier was dissatisfied: "Why should you punish us?"
Qu Chu Lengran: "I am the chief coach appointed by His Majesty himself, and you have violated the military rules."
"But we often didn't come to meet before, and we were never punished."
Qu Chu's expression was even more stern: "I can't control you before, but as long as I control you for a day, I have to listen to me."
After saying that, Qu Chu shouted loudly: "Execution".
Qu Chu shouted loudly because he used his internal strength and shouted loudly, and the city defense soldiers present were buzzing in his ears.
The 500 soldiers brought by Qu Chu acted quickly as the wind was ordered, and pressed the city defense soldiers who were about to be beaten with military sticks onto the stool and began to be sentenced.
"Pa, pa, pa", heavy military sticks fell down, and the city defense soldiers who had never suffered suddenly howled. Along with them, voices such as "Do you dare to hit me, do you know who I am?"
Wu Dagang cleaned his ears: He is such a coward! He was punished with 200 military sticks for missing the military opportunity, so he didn't even hum.
More than 5,000 other city defense forces who were not punished were trembling.
Fortunately, they came yesterday, or it would be their turn to be beaten with 20 military sticks today.
Qu Chu issued another order: "You, help with the punishment."
There were more than 4,000 people who did not come yesterday, of which more than 500 were guarding the city gates and patrolling the city today, and more than 3,000 people were beaten to be beaten with military sticks. If only the 500 soldiers brought by Qu Chu would have to be executed for a long time.
After Qu Chu ordered, some people looked at each other and stood up to help execute the execution.
Seeing that there were still many city defense forces standing still, Wu Dagang shouted: "I want to disobey the general's order?"
Wu Dagang is thick and generous, with a curly beard and beard on his face. He looks angry at this moment like an evil ghost in hell, and many city defense forces are in panic.
Some of the city defense forces stood still and Wu Dagang shouted: "Those who disobey the general's orders should be punished according to military rules..."
Before he could finish his words, many city defense forces came out of the team.
Seeing this, the remaining city defense forces had to give up resistance and help randomly.
...
Half an hour later, more than 3,000 people were beaten with military sticks.
He Dabao held the roster and recited his name:
"There are more than 500 people on duty today and are not punished. The captains of each team will notify them: they will be ordered to take the initiative to receive 20 military sticks within three days. If they do not follow, they will be fined 5 military sticks every additional day. Soldiers who have not taken the initiative to receive the punishment will be expelled from the military after seven days."
Qu Chu glanced at the city defense force below, "The training will start tomorrow, and the soldiers who were beaten with 20 military sticks today will start after two days of rest. Now disband."
...
Imperial Palace Study Room
The emperor handed the note from Qu Chu to the King of Chu, "Your princess is really hard to meet. The note was submitted in just three days after the imperial edict was appointed to expel these nearly 2,000 people from the army."
The King of Chu took the memorial and read it.
Qu Chu's memorial was as cold and hard as she herself, without any embellishment or a hint of euphemism.
"Brother, isn't this the result you want?"
This is indeed the result I want, just...
"Youbei, you said, after she became your princess, can you win her over?"
King Ning Youbei of Chu did not answer.
