Dream of the Red Chamber: Start by gaining Zhao Yun's martial prowess, and be ennobled in a sin

Accompanying the flash of the blade were more than twenty heads falling to the ground in an instant, blood gushing out and instantly staining the barracks floor red.

The entire barracks was suddenly filled with a strong smell of blood.

The sudden and dramatic change stunned the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Garrison present. They were all horrified and stood there dumbfounded.

Just now, Jiang Zining and Shi Guangzhu were pushed out to be killed, so how come these twenty-odd people were just beheaded in the barracks?

The deputy generals were all fourth-rank officials and held noble titles. The colonels, lieutenants, and adjutants were all fifth-rank officials, and most of them also held honorary titles.

With just this simple order, six fourth-rank military officers and nearly twenty fifth-rank military officers of the imperial court died.

This isn't the war god people talk about; he's practically a god of slaughter!

The general is absolutely terrifying!

Unlike the officers and officers of the Beijing Garrison, the officers and officers of the Ba Shang Garrison, though surprised, did not show much fear, since the General had clearly come for the officers and officers of the Beijing Garrison today.

A few even had the leisure to observe the terrified expressions of the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Garrison, their faces bearing a hint of mockery!

Are you scared already?

If you were to witness firsthand the horrific scene of the General kicking the Marquis of Linchuan to pieces when he was still a Marquis, wouldn't you wet your pants?

To dare to violate military law under the command of a great general, one truly doesn't know the meaning of death!

"Guards, drag him away!"

Jia Jing stood up expressionlessly, gave an order, and then reached out and picked up another case file from the desk.

The sight made the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Garrison tremble, and they didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye!

The register on Jia Jingshuai's desk had become, in the eyes of the officers in the barracks, a register of life and death, a list of whoever was chosen would die!

As Jia Jing flipped through the ledgers, he said coldly:

"Everyone is equal before military law. No matter their status, background, or past relationship with me, anyone who dares to violate my military law will be dealt with severely!"

"A merciful general cannot command an army! Now that I have assumed the position of military governor, I am responsible to His Majesty, to the 180,000 brothers in my camp, and to the millions of people in the capital region!"

After Jia Jing finished flipping through the book in his hand, he handed it to Zhuque, who was standing beside him, and asked her to read the names aloud.

Many officers and soldiers below, including Xie Jing, the battalion commander of Shenwei Battalion, felt a jolt of fear when they heard their names called.

His face turned deathly pale instantly, large drops of cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand. Could they be going to kill him again?

After Zhuque had read out more than a hundred names of generals and officers, Jia Jing said coldly:

"These officers whose names have been read aloud are all those who violated military law in the Beijing Garrison. They came to the 12th Regiment either out of fear or because they haven't had time to break the law yet! I will spare your lives for now!"

"But don't be too happy yet! Since I've called out your names, it means I know what you did in the Beijing garrison."

"The reason I haven't punished you today is not because I can't, nor because the law doesn't punish everyone, but because I want to give you another chance."

"Because compared to those who were killed, you at least have some principles."

"However, from this day forward, you are all stripped of all your authority and will all start afresh as lowly soldiers."

"Over the next two months, the entire battalion will undergo rigorous training according to the new drill manual, and will be subject to continuous training assessments. All the positions vacant today will be filled by promotions from among the soldiers who have performed exceptionally well in the assessments!"

"In my military administration, the capable rise and the incompetent fall. Whether it's a squad leader or platoon leader at the bottom, or a deputy general or battalion commander at the top, everything is based on ability."

"In the military, it's all about the strong and the capable; there's no room for pretense!"

After this series of killings and dismissals, 80% of the officers and soldiers in the Beijing garrison were lost. The remaining 20% ​​were of relatively good quality and were retained for future use.

As for the soldiers of the Beijing garrison, most of them were newly recruited soldiers who had been trained by Prince Teng for four or five months, so there were no major problems.

However, after reorganizing the officers and soldiers, the soldiers of the Beijing Garrison and the soldiers of Bashang will definitely be completely disorganized and reorganized into twelve battalions. While training them, the old and weak will be eliminated and new soldiers will be recruited.

At the same time, the more than 20,000 loyal veterans who had returned from the Northwest were to be deployed to various battalions as the backbone.

Only in this way, with a complete overhaul from top to bottom, can we truly ensure a firm grasp of the military power of the 12th Regiment and Battalion, and also rapidly enhance the combat effectiveness of each regiment and battalion!

As for himself, he only needs to personally command more than two thousand Xuanjia elite cavalry!

Upon hearing Jia Jing's words, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Garrison who had been dismissed from their posts had mixed expressions, seemingly both unwilling and relieved!

A few officers and soldiers in the Beijing garrison were both shocked and furious. In a single sentence, they had stripped more than a hundred men of their military power. How domineering!

But they could only feel angry inside, and dared not show even the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces!

If it were an ordinary person, like Wang Ziteng, would he dare to act so recklessly and recklessly, killing or letting go at will?

The officers of the Beijing Garrison were determined to teach him a lesson: what it means for a bad person to have a future as bleak as that of someone who has murdered their parents!

Hmm?! Perhaps Wang Ziteng already knows!

However, facing Jia Jing, not to mention the personal guards inside and outside the camp and the more than 100,000 soldiers in the Ba Shang camp, the rumors of him charging 50,000 men single-handedly and pacifying the Tianshan Mountains with two arrows were enough to make them dare not make the slightest move...

After all, they all have families in the capital city, so it's really not worth risking their lives and ending up with their families destroyed!

In the end, he could only console himself: the general was doing it for military affairs, and it was all out of good intentions...

Jia Jing looked at the generals below, whose expressions varied, stood up, and said calmly:

"That's enough about military law for today!"

"Next, I hereby issue the following order: From this day forward, the entire camp will be under closed-off training. Double guards will be stationed at the camp gates. No one may leave the camp area, let alone move a single soldier, without my personal order!"

"The commanders of each battalion shall immediately conduct a headcount of their troops and recall all personnel from their battalions who are away on official business, visiting relatives, or making purchases within three days. Those who fail to return by the deadline shall be treated as deserters, and their families shall be held accountable."

"The Ministry of Revenue will allocate three months' worth of provisions for the camp today, and the weapons and fodder are all in place."

"Effective immediately, all battalions will be supplied with logistics according to wartime standards. There will be no shortages or waste."

"If any soldier misses his family, he may write a letter in the camp, which will be delivered by the central army. No one may leave the camp."

"From this day forward, military judges will inspect each camp daily. Anyone who leaves the camp without authorization will be beheaded. Anyone who releases someone out of the camp without permission will be punished the same way."

"During the closure period, each battalion shall guard its camp and conduct daily drills, formation exercises, and archery practice in accordance with the newly issued training regulations. Train the soldiers well and ensure that military law is implemented so that every soldier can recite it."

"Our guild will personally oversee the central army, conducting regular assessments and spot checks on training and military law recitation. Strengthening the army is a crucial matter for the imperial court; if anyone fails to fulfill their duties, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
