Chapter 37 The whole army contest

Wei Yuan quickly wrote a reply to Wei Shuyi and sent someone to deliver it.

It has been almost a month since the lawsuit committee was established.

But no soldier ever took the initiative to expose or say something, it was just like a decoration.

But what's different today is that a man named 'Liang Da' took the initiative to report something to the lawsuit committee.

It is said that he was often bullied by some veterans in the army, and in severe cases, he would be beaten.

However, he never made a mistake.

He was the new recruit that Xu Changzhi mentioned before.

Wei Yuan was very concerned about this matter. After all, it was related to whether the lawsuit would gain authority in the military.

So he took matters into his own hands.

In the military camp, tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in front of the generals' platform to pay attention to this matter.

Wei Yuan sat firmly on the stage. When he saw that people were almost here, he ordered people to bring up the old soldier who had committed the crime.

Afterwards, Wei Yuan looked at the new soldier Liang Da and asked:

"Are they the ones who bully you in every possible way on weekdays?"

Liang Da looked at the four or five veterans and nodded.
"That's them."

Several people who were taken away were dissatisfied and said:
"General Wei, veterans ask new recruits to do things. This is a rule in the army since ancient times. How can it be considered as bullying him?"

"That's right, we just ordered him to do some things. We veterans taught them their skills. Shouldn't they, as new recruits, do the same?"

"As for those who beat us as soldiers, who hasn't beaten anyone? Who hasn't been beaten?"

"."

As soon as these words came out.

Many veterans who came to watch also commented one after another:
"Yes, didn't we also come from being beaten?"

"Then the new recruit just can't stand the grievance. Why should such a person be a soldier?"

"that is."

"."

Of course, there were many new recruits among the onlookers, but when they heard the conversation between the veterans, they did not dare to interrupt at all.

Wei Yuan looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice:

"In the army, there are naturally military rules. If new soldiers go to the battlefield without training, they will only be slaughtered by the enemy."

"But this doesn't mean that as veterans, you can bully the new recruits arbitrarily."

After a pause, he looked at the people who were being escorted and said in a deep voice:

"As far as I know, General, you not only asked this new soldier to keep vigil for you all night and not allow you to sleep, but you also asked him to bring you a urinal and water to wash your feet?"

"Sometimes, he even let him use his military salary to secretly buy you drinks. After you all found out, you put all the blame on him?"

In the Zhou Dynasty, it was common for the army to drink alcohol.

It has even become a custom.

Wei Yuan issued repeated orders that no drinking was allowed in the army except on certain days.

But things like this still happen.

After all, it was not during the war, and there was no situation where drinking caused trouble, so Wei Yuan and Xu Changzhi just turned a blind eye.

But this does not mean that they acquiesce in such things happening.

Some of the onlookers couldn't help but frown deeply when they heard how those few people treated the new soldier named Liang Da.
"This is a bit too much."

"Yeah, I usually just let those new recruits carry tea and water. Why do I have to let them carry the urinal? Why don't I have any hands?"

"This is not the point. How dare you touch the key person's Yue Xiang? We have come all the way here to serve as soldiers, and all we want is those scraps of silver."

"."

Perhaps they also heard the discussion, and those few people looked ashamed.

Wei Yuan asked: "Wait, do you admit your guilt?" Several people looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Wei Yuan frowned and said: "If you dare to act like a real man, I will ask you again, do you plead guilty?"

Hear the words.

One person lowered his head and sighed: "I plead guilty!"

The other people also said one after another: "Confess your guilt!"

Wei Yuan's face turned livid and he said, "According to military discipline, bullying new soldiers will result in thirty military sticks."

"As for how much money you asked him to give you to buy wine, you must return it to him within three days."

"If I, the general, find out and you fail to comply, I, the general, will punish you severely."

"Are you willing to do so?"

Things have come to this point, and those soldiers are not glib people. Since they have confessed their guilt, they will not make excuses.
"Just ask General Wei to punish you! We have no complaints!"

"No complaints!"

"."

Wei Yuan nodded, looked at the onlookers, and said:

"My general established this Soldiers' Litigation Association to ensure that merit will be rewarded and demerit will be punished."

"Xie Wu, the general heard that you have repeatedly come out on top in training. Today, the general will reward you with thirty taels of silver as a reward."

"But merit is merit and fault is fault. You will still be punished for what you did to Liang Da. Are you convinced?"

Xie Wu, one of the veterans who bullied Liang Da.

He was ready to receive a military stick, but he didn't expect that there would be a reward.

For a moment, he looked at Wei Yuan with an expression full of gratitude.

"Thank you, General! I'm ashamed!"

Wei Yuan said: "This general said that merit will be rewarded and deeds will be punished."

After a pause, he looked at the people who came to watch,

"However, merits and demerits cannot be offset. In the future, if someone makes a mistake, the lawsuit will impose heavy penalties."

"Similarly, whoever performs superiorly in training and whoever performs bravely in combat will be rewarded heavily by the lawsuit!"

"Here, I have no choice but to say a few words, General."

The crowd listened with all their ears,
"You guys left your family and career to join the army because the army can provide you with a good meal, and you also want to get ahead."

"I will give you a good meal and a chance to get ahead, but if anyone dares to rely on their seniority and experience to do anything that goes beyond military law, I will also severely punish you."

"Remember, your fists are meant to hit the enemy, not our brothers Pao Ze."

"On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. When you charge fearlessly, I am willing to block the knife for you. The one who can make you feel at ease is the brother Baoze who is standing by your side at this moment!"

Wei Yuan continued:
"From today on, anyone who performs well in training and is verified by the lawsuit committee will be rewarded heavily!"

"If someone in the lawsuit is corrupt and enriches himself, you can jointly supervise it and report it directly to this general!"

"After the training this month, starting from next month, the entire army will compete. The top ten of each branch will be promoted personally by this general."

"I hope that in the next month, you can use all your energy to kill the enemy, train hard, and strive to come out on top."

"Veterans from the past, I know that you will not be willing to lose to the new recruits; as for the new recruits, I also believe that you are all working hard to surpass the veterans at this moment."

"It's up to you whether you can seize this opportunity to stand out."

Only when there is competition will soldiers train with all their strength.

Through Liang Da's incident, Guan Si Hui established his prestige, and the whole army competition was to let Guan Si Hui feed the soldiers a sweet date.

Only in this way will the soldiers trained by him become more obedient to military discipline.

If an army cannot maintain strict military discipline, it will not have much future.

In addition, through this military competition, Wei Yuan also wanted to discover some talents and then train them to become his confidants.
