The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 91 Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey
Madam Gong Er was quite calm after hearing this: "My soldiers were all trained by General Qi Tian. There are no problems with military regulations. We guarantee that no one will be harmed. Even if it is the people from the neighboring counties, they will not take action."

Wu Jialiang pointed at the eight old Yuanyang formations, then at the dozen Yuanyang formations that had been trained for a month: "I can see that these soldiers are very disciplined, but..."

Changing the subject, he pointed at the twenty-odd Yuanyang formations that had just been formed and whispered, "These people are no match. They haven't even figured out their left and right sides, and I'm afraid they haven't memorized the military regulations well. Letting them go to Laiyang County would probably cause a big mess. If one of them breaks the rules and robs a family, it could lead to dozens or even hundreds of people joining in the looting... If that happens, the law won't hold everyone responsible. You can't just chop them all off; the morale of the army would be disrupted."

Madam Gong Er: "Then don't take them with you."

Wu Jialiang said: "There are a large number of bandits, about 500 of them. If you don't bring these new recruits to support your army, the army will be weak and lack momentum. The veterans will also be afraid, which is not a good thing."

This is a problem...

Madam Gong Er was hesitant for a moment. Recently, she had been learning various military knowledge from Qi Jixue every day, but she was only a 16-year-old young woman after all, and was not good enough in "decisive killing". She really didn't know how to deal with the situation if dozens or hundreds of people robbed the people.

Kill them all?
I feel a bit sorry!

do not kill?

The army is finished.

While he was hesitating, a team of heavenly soldiers wearing heavenly armor came in, escorting four heavenly soldiers... The four escorted heavenly soldiers had their hands tied behind their backs, their helmets taken off, their hair disheveled, and they looked very embarrassed.

The sight of heavenly soldiers escorting other heavenly soldiers was quite eye-catching.

Not to mention Madam Gong Er, even all the soldiers couldn't help but secretly glance over, thinking, "Why are heavenly soldiers arresting heavenly soldiers? What's going on?"

This was of course Yue Wenxuan’s arrangement!

He was going to perform a play to give the new soldiers a little shock. There were too many new recruits recently, and they had not had time to memorize the military regulations and teach them slowly. The Jin soldiers would come again this winter, and there was no time to let these soldiers grow slowly, so they had to be forced to grow.

Here comes the ultimate move!
He had just placed a team of Mandarin Duck Formation figurines in an empty corner of the sand table, along with the four Japanese pirates in the suit, and then asked four of the Qi family soldiers to take off their armor and put it on the Japanese pirates.

That is to say, let the four Japanese pirates pretend to be Qi's army.

Then they took off their helmets, ruffled their hair, tied their hands behind their backs, and were escorted into the village from outside by soldiers of the Qi family army. The villagers all saw them as they walked, and many of them followed behind to watch the fun.

The team of plastic men walked up to Qi Jiguang and shouted, "Report, this guy is robbing the people."

Yue Wenxuan's consciousness entered Qi Jiguang's body. His face darkened, and he turned his gaze towards the four pirates, shouting, "You robbed the common people?"

His consciousness entered the body of a Japanese pirate again, pretending to be so scared that he couldn't speak, and kowtowed desperately with a look of fear on his face.

His consciousness switched back to Qi Jiguang's body, and he angrily said, "Men, recite the military regulations to them. What are the consequences for robbing civilians?"

The plastic Qi family soldiers around him shouted in unison: "Behead!"

Yue Wenxuan turned to the military court and said, "Behead these four guys and make a public display."

The military court team were all Gong Er Niangzi's men. They were shocked when they heard this: How dare they kill the heavenly soldiers?
Not to mention beheading him, they didn't even dare to hit him with a military stick.

Yue Wenxuan also knew that they didn't dare, so he changed the subject: "Forget it! Let my people come."

He said to the Qi family army, "Behead these four guys who have violated military law in front of all the villagers! Hang their heads on the flagpole."

"As ordered!"

The soldiers of Qi's army took action and dragged the four Japanese pirates disguised as Qi's army soldiers to the open ground. In front of the onlookers and soldiers, they raised their swords and slashed, and with a click, the four heads fell to the ground... The blood dyed the loess red.

Four heads were hung on the flagpole.

Yue Wenxuan turned around and shouted to all the rebel soldiers lined up in front of the fort: "Did you see that? This is the result of violating military regulations and harassing civilians..."

The newly recruited soldiers were trembling with fear, not daring to speak in formation. Otherwise, they would have been saying, "Oh my god, even heavenly soldiers are killed for breaking military regulations. Shouldn't we mortals be killed with one sword?"

The onlookers were also shocked and thought: He was really beheaded!

Wu Jialiang, who was standing next to him, was even more shocked when he saw this scene.

When he saw the armor worn by the four men who were beheaded, he knew that they were "General Qi's personal soldiers." This man was so strict that he would even execute his own personal soldiers if they broke military regulations. He would be even more ruthless when executing ordinary soldiers.

Yue Wenxuan shouted, "You will soon be sending troops to wipe out the Laiyang horse bandits. There are many villages along the way. If I find anyone harassing the villagers or taking even a needle or thread from them, his head will be hung on this flagpole."

The entire army was silent...

Firstly, military regulations forbid talking in formation, and secondly, many people were too scared to speak.

Yue Wenxuan: "If you want money and want to get rich, then you take the enemy's heads in exchange. How much money can you get from the poor people?"

Wu Jialiang whispered to Madam Gong Er, "King Gong, just treat what I said just now as nonsense. With this person's help, I have no room to speak."

Madam Gong Er was also shocked and remained silent for several seconds.

Until Yue Wenxuan turned to her and said, "Second Madam, send out the troops! The command will be handed over to you from now on."

Madam Gong Er perked up and said in a panic, "Give me the command? I still have a lot to learn from General Qi Tian."

Yue Wenxuan thought: I don’t have the time to follow you and learn slowly. You have to take command in person and grow through actual combat.

In half a year at most, the Jin soldiers will arrive.

By then, the Jin army will most likely divide its forces to attack Laizhou City (Ye County), Jimo County, and Jiaoshui County. Yue Wenxuan may also distribute the plastic men to guard various places. By then, his vision will be cut back and forth, and he may not be able to take care of Madam Gong Er. She must grow up as soon as possible.

Yue Wenxuan: "I can only give you two teams of soldiers, but not a general. You are the one who commands them. If you can't even command a bandit, how are you going to fight the Jin bandits in the future?"

Madam Gong Er could only clasp her fists and say, "I'll try my best."

Wu Jialiang was very surprised and thought to himself: How come General Qi's status seems to be higher than Prince Gong?
He couldn't help but lower his voice and ask, "Prince Gong, who exactly is this General Qi?"

Madam Gong Er: "He is a celestial general! Those around him are celestial soldiers."

Wu Jialiang was confused. Heavenly soldiers and generals?

People generally call people sent by the emperor "Tian Mou". For example, the messengers sent by the emperor are called "angels", the officials sent by the emperor to the local areas are called "Tian Guan", and the army sent by the emperor to the local areas to suppress bandits are also called "Tian Bing". The person who leads the Tian Bing is naturally a "Tian Jiang".

So, when Madam Gong Er mentioned the "heavenly soldiers and generals," Wu Jialiang was completely bewildered. He thought to himself: Sent by the emperor? Impossible! What on earth is going on?
