Chapter 2244: Eat Inside and Outside
More than a dozen generals knelt in front of Fang Xing and lined up in a row.
They all held their heads high, dazed and angry.
"Uncle, sir...why is this?"
A Qianhu official asked Li Long sadly.
Li Long said expressionlessly: "You must obey Uncle Xinghe's instructions on this matter."
Fang Xing took a step forward, looked at the Qianhu official and said, "Deng Wei? Tell me, who is behind you?"
Qian Huguan said in astonishment: "Uncle, what does this mean?"
This man was somewhat unruly and aroused the anger of the officers.
"Uncle, I have to die to understand why I was demoted."
"Xiaguan fought hard for the Ming Dynasty. At Songmen, Xiaguan fought bloody battles and was wounded in three places..."
"Xiaguan followed Emperor Wen in the northern expedition to Arutai. He also followed the vanguard to kill the enemy, and was received by Emperor Wen..."
"Your Majesty..."
“…..”
Fang Xing said coldly: "Whose orders do Ming's armies listen to?"
These officers were all stunned, and someone muttered: "Of course I listen to His Majesty."
"Yes, but who do you listen to?"
Fang Xing pointed to the camp and said, "Bring the brothers out, Uncle Ben wants to speak."
Yang Gui looked at Li Long, who said: "Get out!"
Yang Gui promised loudly, but didn't see Fang Xing's frown.
Wang He said thoughtfully: "Those soldiers didn't make any mistakes, did they?"
Li Long said displeasedly: "My lord, this is a military matter."
Wang He was furious and shouted: "My family has been in the army for more than ten years. What is the matter in the army that our family doesn't know about? Drive them out... What a great prestige!"
Li Long sneered and said: "How can outsiders comment on matters in the army? Your Majesty..."
He stopped talking because Fang Xing was staring at him with an unkind look.
Fang Xing nodded slightly and said seriously: "Uncle Xiangcheng, no matter how much you study, Paoze is Paoze, and he will not become a slave just because he is just a sergeant."
Li Long was eloquent and elegant, and was highly praised by the literati and officials in the south. So when he heard this, he couldn't help showing a little disdain.
"Bo Xinghe, everyone has his own way of running the army..."
"What are you?"
Li Long looked at Fang Xing in astonishment, his face gradually turning livid, and frowned: "Uncle Xinghe, running an army is like running a family..."
"You asked your son to be kicked out?"
Fang Xing felt that the men in the south were not lacking in bravery, but the temperament of the leader determined the temperament of the army, and a bad atmosphere would naturally corrode morale.
Qi Jiguang later recruited miners to form an army. The army had strict discipline and clear rewards and punishments. It didn't take long for him to become a strong army.
The north is always facing threats from alien races. Just like a child who has been bullied by his neighbors since childhood, he naturally knows to fight and be brave.
This is a point of difference between North and South.
Fang Xing suddenly became furious, which immediately disrupted Li Long's train of thought. He said in surprise: "Uncle Xinghe, if those sergeants are not strict, sooner or later something will happen."
"Get out of here, get into formation! Get into formation! Fight! Fight me!"
"Get out! Hurry up!"
At this time, there was a noise in the camp, and groups of sergeants were driven out, being beaten with sticks and scabbards.
The sergeants were beaten, no one complained, they just looked a little embarrassed, and then they were driven into formation outside the barracks.
"Is this how rigorous military management is?"
Fang Xing knew that Li Long was not directly in charge of the army, but seeing the embarrassed looks of the sergeants, he still asked Li Long sarcastically.
Li Long was provoked continuously by Fang Xing. After all, he didn't cultivate enough Qi, so he asked, "What does Uncle Xinghe think this is?"
Fang Xing said coldly: "Not to mention loving soldiers like sons, but there are rules for training in the army. Why do we have to beat the sergeants here? Which family's rules?"
This man is here to cause trouble!
Li Long felt his anger rising, and said in a deep voice: "This is how Li manages the army, and Emperor Wen also knows it."
Fang Xing looked at him steadily, then nodded and said, "Okay."
He only said one good word, but it made Li Long feel creepy.
At this time, the array had taken shape, and Fang Xing walked over.
The sergeants were a little confused, and the officers who had just whipped the sergeants and their subordinates were a little uneasy.
"Beating is common in the army, and I know that very well."
Fang Xing's first words made Li Long feel a little stunned, and then he thought about giving Fang Xing face later and treating him to a drink.
"But who beat the sergeant for no reason? Who? Emperor Wen? Or the British Duke?!"
Li Longcai was smiling, but when he heard this, his face suddenly turned green.
This person is indeed coming for me!
But Fang Xing just said one sentence, and then asked: "When you serve the country, do you remember who you are serving for?"
The array is silent.
This question is a bit broad, but it is not unpublicized.
The instructors in the army would preach the idea of loyalty to the emperor and the country, but looking at these silent soldiers, Fang Xing said to Wang He: "There is a problem with the morale here. They seem to be elite, but they are sluggish. I turned around and asked the instructors. It seems they are not doing their job, or someone is causing trouble!"
Wang He glanced at the livid Li Long and said, "Yes, looking at these dull soldiers, who are they thinking about serving... This matter should not be underestimated!"
"Uncle, serve your Majesty and serve the Ming Dynasty!"
At this time, someone in the array shouted.
This is what Fang Xing was waiting for. He said solemnly: "Okay! What the army wants is this kind of momentum and this goal."
He glanced at the dozen or so people kneeling on the ground and said, "But some people are in the military camp, and their hearts... are outside. There is no Majesty or Ming Dynasty in their hearts!"
Li Long's heart trembled, and he realized that Fang Xing was coming to clean up the Jinling garrison.
Why?
Li Long couldn't bear to regret his response just now, his brain was spinning at full speed, thinking about Fang Xing... no, why the emperor wanted to clean up the garrison.
Not satisfied?
Li Long felt that the garrison in Jinling had done nothing wrong in the past two years. Where did the emperor's dissatisfaction come from?
So what is it?
"...They are colluding with the gentry. I would like to ask, what do you want?"
Li Long's body went limp, he staggered, and then he asked Wang He in panic: "Eunuch Wang, what do you mean?"
Wang He sneered: "Eating from His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty, but working for those gentry, this is eating the inside out!"
He saw that Li Long's face was as pale as paper and his body was trembling slightly. He couldn't help but feel happy, but he felt that it was not enough, so he said: "To deal with such people who eat inside and outside, we must not only strip off their armor, but also make them pay." The price, otherwise why would it be a warning to those who come after you?”
"...Eating royal food and shouting slogans of serving the country, they are actually in league with the gentry. How should we deal with such people?"
Fang Xing's words gradually contained murderous intent, so Deng Wei panicked and said, "Uncle, I have only drank with them a few times!"
Fang Xing said coldly: "Did the family accept their benefits?"
Deng Wei was stunned, and then said in despair: "Uncle, I just do business with them and buy shares! Many people in the army have bought shares..."
"oh!"
Fang Xing asked with a smile: "What are they? Tell me, tell me, I will write down your merits in the memorial."
Deng Wei was startled, and then asked tentatively: "Uncle, what is good?"
Fang Xing was still smiling and said with a smile: "You... dare to negotiate terms with me?"
Fang Xing pointed at these people, "Take them all back."
"Uncle, have mercy on me..."
"The official is willing to take the blame and make meritorious service. Uncle, the official knows that they are corrupt... The official is willing to..."
"Uncle...Uncle, I am very loyal to you...Uncle, help me..."
When a deputy Qianhu shouted at Li Long about loyalty, Li Long's face turned red suddenly, then his body shook a few times, and he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.
