Chapter 101 Clear Rewards and Punishments
"Bangbangbang" With three gongs, another group of people drove out. Without looking at it, it was the main owner who arrived. In front was the three yamen runners in Shanghai and Songjiang holding up the signs of quiet and avoidance. Then, there were three large sedan chairs. When they arrived at the main gate of Guandi Temple, Shanghai magistrate Xu Shizhen got off the sedan chair first, then Zhu Yanzhi, and finally Yinzhen.
Yinzhen didn't like this kind of occasion and didn't want to come, but he thought that today's situation would definitely be reported to Kangxi, so he had to go through the motions. He was wearing official uniforms and got off the sedan chair and walked straight to the main seat. [The latest updates are all in search.]
After Xu Shizhen greeted the two, he sat back to his seat, slapped the gavel and "bring the prisoner to the court." Then he began the trial and took turns asking, and Yinzhen almost fell asleep behind him.
The crowd of people who watched the fun were not interested in the specific trial process, so they only stood up to announce the verdict, "In the case of military and civilian armed battle in front of the 'Demingxuan', there were all people and evidence. All the criminals confessed to their guilt and sentenced them to three days of shackles."
After just two short sentences, no one could react. This was the end. In such a big case, all the criminals were sentenced to three days of shackles? There was no distinction between the main culprit and the accomplices? Could it be that they were concerned about their reputation and planned to be executed in a stand cage?
Zhu Yanzhi slapped the agglomeration with force and attracted everyone's eyes. He then said loudly: "The result of the trial of this case was submitted by the emperor's fourteenth son, Prince Yinzhen, who was approved by the emperor."
When they heard that it was the result of Kangxi's imperial criticism, everyone was stunned at first, and then they burst into cheers, "Long live." The firecrackers that the Gu family had prepared long ago were also set off at the right time. For a moment, the scene was almost out of control. Under the leadership of Gu Changfeng, the people of the Gu family knelt down, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and shouted long live.
Yinzhen looked at the almost crazy scene and couldn't help but feel speechless. It was the solution proposed by Prince Heng. I am the real master. Why is no one grateful to me? Nowadays, the fanaticism towards the king should not be underestimated.
The only thing that was not moving was the naval cadets standing like two thousand wooden stakes. From the time they entered the venue, no one had shaken them. The merchant ship owners, gentry, aristocratic families and Western missionaries who were watching the lively were secretly surprised when they saw this. Father Bai Lihua knew a little about military affairs. Since he entered the venue, he had been paying attention to the navy's uniforms and queues. Although he did not see their weapons, he compared European soldiers just from the three lines of queues, discipline, and standing posture.
The most shocking thing was Zhang Pengfeng and Gamintu. They sat in the nearby restaurant in plain clothes. This was the first time they saw naval cadets. Whether in military uniforms, queues or standing postures, they were very different from the Eight Banners and Green Camp they had seen before, which made people feel refreshed. It is said that the Fourteenth Master is the best military service among the princes. It seems that the rumors are true. Just from the perspective of training, it is extraordinary. It is indeed extraordinary.
After the cheers of the crowd subsided, a loud and short whistle sounded. Before the crowd could come back to their senses, Wu Ge had already run out of the queue and said loudly: "In the case of military and civilian armed battle in front of the 'Demingxuan', the Naval Academy imposed fifty military sticks on each of the forty students involved in the armed battle case, and is now sentenced."
The students who had already prepared the bench lined up to put the bench on the scene. Forty students who were punished came out in line with the sound of commands. Then two teams of students walked out and stepped forward to peel off their military pants. They held one of them hostage and pressed it on the bench. Amid the sound of commands, another team of students came up with a stick of water and fire, and started to fight. For a moment, there were only muffled sounds, and blood began to splatter after more than a dozen sticks were gone, but no one shouted, which made everyone's hearts tight.
The people who were cheering just now were shocked by this scene, and the scene immediately became extremely quiet. Everyone's faces were filled with shock and suspicion. This was the first time they saw the navy performing military law. Without moaning or calling, they could only hear a series of "puff" sounds. The underwear on their butts were soon stained with blood, which seemed particularly frightening.
Another whistle sounded, Yande led a team of cadets wearing a red sleeve on his arm and stood attentively towards the people. He opened his throat and said: "From today on, the Naval Academy will set up a Naval Inspector Brigade to patrol the county town and ports every day, and strictly prohibit the resumption of armed fighting and other bullying of the people. Anyone in the county town who finds that any naval cadets violate military discipline or the law can report it. If the report is true, a reward will be given!"
As soon as these words were finished, there was a burst of cheers. At least there was no need to worry about being bullied by these soldiers. Originally, as soon as the case was released, many ordinary people were worried about this issue. In this case, there was no need to worry anymore. No one expected that the navy's military discipline would be so strict.
This is a good way to do it once and for all. Zhang Penghong nodded slightly. I really don’t know how the Fourteenth Master came up with so many good ideas?
After the show ended, Yinzhen did not return to Liuchun Garden, but went directly to the Naval Academy, taking Wu Ge, Yande, Liu Zhisheng, Fu Han, Yagu, Ma La, and other groups of squadron leaders to visit the students who were fined fifty military sticks.
These students were also tough. None of them cried and gritted their teeth. The doctor applied medicine to them. When they saw Yinzhen and others coming in, everyone was silent. Yinzhen swept the crowd and waited, and nodded with a smile, "It's all good. We didn't embarrass our navy. We will punish us for committing mistakes. We will reward you for your contributions. You fight with the people and fight military sticks. But your behavior has also set an example for the unity of the navy. As the dean, I will naturally reward you too."
When everyone heard this, everyone looked over. Yinzhen said loudly in front of everyone's eyes: "A army without discipline cannot be called an army, but a disciplined and united army can become an invincible army. The president's rewards and punishments are clear! Wu Ge, write down their names and hand them over to me. The first batch of officers who were granted actual positions in the Naval Academy must have their names. What the president wants is a united navy."
The first batch of actual positions was awarded! A group of students who had just been beaten by fifty military sticks immediately felt that this little pain was nothing. If they were awarded the first batch of actual positions, they would have a bright future in the Navy in the future. Sehey couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Dean, the bidders are all ordinary students now."
After looking around everyone, Yinzhen said, "If you can surrender, you will naturally be able to raise you. What the dean wants is a navy that can fight tough battles. As long as you are capable and loyal enough, I will promote it."
When he heard this, the thirty people didn't care about the pain and immediately said neatly: "Director Xie's support."
As soon as Yinzhen and the others went out, Seheyi laughed and said, "Haha, this military stick is not wronged. Faha, you will hide from you when you encounter something. This time you find someone to replace him, but you will suffer a lot."
