Volume 1, Chapter 80, Establishing Military Regulations

Little Guazi also tried to stop them, crying out, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, how can you be so petty with a servant like this? Just leave things like this to the servants!"

Xiang Yun was held back by the two men at this time and he became much more sober, but his anger had not yet subsided and he was gasping for air. Xiao Guazi quickly patted his chest with his hand to make Xiang Yun feel better.

When Xiang Yun got angry, he hit him so hard that the ragged soldier was beaten beyond recognition and covered in blood, looking like a completely inhuman person.

At this moment, he actually still felt wronged. He was half dead anyway, so he gave up and cried, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I... When I came into this yard, the old man was already dead, and the woman was in disarray. She said that those beasts from the Mahayana Kingdom made her like this!

I haven’t touched a woman for several months. She looked so seductive, and her clothes were not even properly dressed. I was tempted when I saw her, and I was so excited that I couldn’t help myself…”

Xiang Yun's anger, which had just calmed down, was aroused again, and he cursed: "You still think you are right to do such a thing!

Why don’t you go and be a pimp?

There is really no hope! "

Xuanyuan Dabing quickly grabbed Xiang Yun again, then kicked the man and cursed on behalf of Xiang Yun: "Asshole, if it weren't for you, would that girl have committed suicide!

Look at his age, he is only in his early twenties. You did such a thing and yet you still want to find excuses. You are really not a human being!

Bah, this commander is ashamed to be associated with you!"

The man was kicked to the ground and wailed in pain. Xiang Yun suddenly took a deep breath and strode away, leaving only one sentence: "Kill him!"

The wailing man immediately stopped shouting upon hearing this, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty!

I will never dare to do it again, please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"

Everyone is afraid of death. He is already half dead, but he can still be alive with treatment.

Even if he died, he had to die on the battlefield, at the hands of the enemy. If he died because of such a thing, I am afraid that his parents and relatives in the Great Sun Dynasty would feel ashamed and resentful, which would be extremely unfilial.

Xuanyuan Dabing also felt a little soft-hearted. After thinking for a while, he said with embarrassment: "Your Majesty, he also knows that he is wrong. Can you spare his life?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yun immediately turned around and stared at Xuanyuan Dabing coldly, frightening him so much that he quickly stepped back and shouted in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty!"

Xiang Yun said nothing, took out a pistol from his arms in an instant, without even looking at the man, he opened the safety and pulled the trigger.

“Bang, bang, bang…bang!”

Xiang Yun fired more than ten shots at the soldier until he had used up all the bullets in his pistol.

The man's back was now covered in bloody holes and looked blurry. He was already dead beyond death.

Xuanyuan Dabing, who was standing by, turned extremely pale after seeing this scene. He lowered his head and dared not look at Yun again.

He could still vividly remember the look Xiang Yun had given him just now. In his mind, Xiang Yun had always been kind and gentle, but he had never lost his temper with him so much.

Xiang Yun put away his gun expressionlessly, walked to Xuanyuan Dabing, patted his shoulder and said coldly: "Dabing, I want to teach you a truth today, it's called kindness does not lead to military success!"

In the central square of Jingu City, all the citizens of the city, no matter who they were or how old they were, were invited to the square by the soldiers of the Lieyang Army.

Opposite these ordinary people, kneeling one by one, were the soldiers of the three armies. They were the ones who attacked the ordinary people in the city after the dynasty army entered the city.

There were those who smashed shops, robbed people of their money, killed people, and molested women. Xiang Yun ordered a thorough investigation of all of them, and they were all arrested here.

There were a total of 1,523 people, generals and soldiers, all of whom knelt down in front of the common people in the city. Among them was a general of the fifth rank.

Xiang Yun walked over with a gloomy face and scolded the more than 1,000 soldiers coldly: "Well, you have all forgotten the military discipline of the Great Sun Dynasty!

Look at what you have done. You don't look like soldiers at all. You are clearly bandits!

Have you all forgotten that I killed 100,000 bandits in Qingfeng Mountain a few days ago? "

None of the soldiers spoke. In their eyes, Xiang Yun was like a god and they did not dare to resist at all.

Xiang Yun looked at the common people of Jingu City again and said expressionlessly: "Everyone, I am the emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty. From now on, Jingu City is the territory of the Great Sun Dynasty, and you are my people!

Today, I failed to control my subordinates and caused you all irreparable pain, so today, I will give you an explanation!"

Xiang Yun then faced the entire army and said loudly: "Today, I have established a rule that after we capture the city, we must treat the people of the Mahayana Kingdom as we would the people of the Great Sun Dynasty. Anyone in the army who violates the law or discipline will be punished by military law, regardless of their rank!"

Then Xiang Yun waved his hand, and these kneeling soldiers were given a big knife in front of them.

The knife was cold and chilling. Some of these people looked terrified, some were angry, and some were helpless.

Xiang Yun looked at them and said calmly: "Do it yourself, don't let your brothers' hands be stained with your blood!"

The emperor has issued an order that they will die today and no one can save them.

Now they only have one choice before them, that is, to be willing to be decent or to have the brothers behind them help them to be decent!

One man did not hesitate, picked up the sword on the ground and put it across his neck, then shouted loudly: "I am ashamed of the emperor's high expectations, and I will leave first!"

After saying this, he committed suicide without any hesitation and died on the spot.

Hundreds of people immediately took up their knives and put them across their necks, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, we will leave first!"

These people committed suicide without any hesitation. They were people of faith, and they did this because of a momentary mistake.

They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of death without dignity, death without any constructiveness and value.

Now that the outcome is already determined, they will not make any more choices.

I will only use my blood to preserve the last bit of dignity and guard the emperor's majesty!

In this world, if the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die!

The fifth-rank general also slowly closed his eyes at this time, holding a big sword and standing in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "In this life, this old minister has been able to follow Your Majesty to expand the territory, and I have no regrets in my death!"

"Your Majesty, before I die, I just want to ask a question. I hope Your Majesty will grant it!"

He spoke sincerely, and Xiang Yun was not a heartless person, so he said, "Ask me, and I will do my best to answer you."

The old general looked at Xiang Yun sincerely and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the territory of our Great Sun Dynasty will become larger and larger. One day, it will cover the entire Mahayana Kingdom, and even the Black Witch Kingdom will bow down to it, right?"

Xiang Yun frowned slightly when he heard this. This kind of problem should not be handled by a general like him.

But as he was about to die, Xiang Yun thought about it carefully and said, "Your vision is too narrow. The territory of the Great Sun Dynasty will be the entire world, and the soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty will cover the ends of the earth!"

The old general shuddered when he heard this, and he howled to the sky, "If that's the case, I, this old minister, will be in the underworld, watching the army of the Great Sun Dynasty march across the world and be invincible!"

"Click!" A crisp sound was heard, and the old general committed suicide decisively.

As time went by, after everyone said their final words, only about fifty of the more than a thousand soldiers were left who had yet to take action.

Some of them were trembling, their faces were pale, and they looked extremely weak.

Someone closed his eyes tightly and said nothing, but never reached out to take the big knife that was emitting a cold light.

Some people were constantly mumbling and wailing, and it was unclear what they were saying, but it sounded like they were cursing. However, it was very strange considering their appearance. And before they had talked for long, their pants were wet and there was a foul smell.

Xiang Yun looked at them expressionlessly and said coldly, "Help them."

Xuanyuan Dabing came up with a cold face and yelled, "Die if you want to, you are a real man, what are you afraid of? Hurry up, stop smearing His Majesty here, and don't let your brothers' hands be stained with your blood!"

"Hurry up, there are so many people watching, aren't you ashamed?"

Xuanyuan Dabing cursed again, then came to a man, picked up the big knife in front of him and handed it to him, saying in a deep voice: "Do it yourself, don't force me!"

The soldier looked at the cold light on the knife, staggered and fell to the ground. Suddenly he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, they are just some ordinary people. You are so cruel. For such a group of enemy people, you want to kill us soldiers who have fought bravely for us. Aren't you afraid of chilling our hearts?"

At this time, Xuanyuan Dabing also began to understand Xiang Yun's intention, so he kicked him and cursed: "The emperor is the emperor, and his ambitions are beyond the understanding of a villain like you!

If you want to become a soldier of the Great Sun Dynasty and want to gain honor and respect, then you must at least learn how to be a human being!

What you did is shameful even to me. You guys who don't even respect propriety, righteousness, and integrity, dare to bark here!"

After Xuanyuan Dabing finished speaking loudly, he chopped him to death with a knife, not giving him the chance to talk nonsense again.

The next people were not able to do it decently in the first place, and it was even more difficult now. However, Xuanyuan Dabing did not let other brothers do it, but chose to do it alone.

Of those who are stained with the blood of their brothers, only one is enough!

Xiang Yun did not look at them any more, but said to the people of Jingu City: "Everyone can go back to your homes and live your life as usual. The gate of Jingu City will always be open. You can stay or leave as you wish."

Finally, an old man could not help but scolded: "Stop pretending here. If you really love the people, why do you want to attack our country and occupy our territory?"

Xiang Yun still patiently explained: "Old man, I want to correct a mistake of yours. It was the Mahayana Treasure Country that first attacked the Great Sun Dynasty and attempted to occupy the territory of the Great Sun Dynasty;

It’s just that now, the people of Mahayana are too greedy and have been defeated by me personally!

As the saying goes, "It is impolite not to reciprocate." I have brought my troops here, so of course I must fight back, otherwise others will really think that my Great Sun Dynasty is easy to bully!"

Xiang Yun smiled again and said, “However, I always exercise benevolence and do not like to kill, so I will only destroy your Mahayana country, but will not attack you ordinary people, so you don’t have to worry about your safety;

However, if anyone takes up arms, they are enemy soldiers, and the soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty will definitely not show mercy to them!"

Xiang Yun was already very amiable, showing the broad-mindedness of an emperor, but still no one from the people of Jingu City looked at him with a good face.
