Pei Qingrong narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to pause the training.
She exuded an unpleasant aura, and the soldiers on the training ground all had a bad feeling, looking at her in confusion.
Pei Qingrong pointed to several battalion commanders and sergeants in the ranks: "Bring them all out."
The eight men who were waiting in ambush behind them immediately moved out and escorted these people out of the ranks.
Pei Qingrong gave a signal, and they were all pressed towards the row of iron pillars.
These pillars were specifically set up for punishment. Those of some rank who violated military regulations would be brought up, tied to them, and tortured.
"Commander, what did we do wrong? Why are you treating us like this?"
"This is not right. It's not right to abuse vigilante justice for no reason."
Pei Qingrong faced them, her eyes cold and sharp.
“During training, you few are lazy and perfunctory, and your soldiers follow suit, completely disregarding the training. How can we train a fine infantry force if this continues?”
"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. I will straighten you out and show you how to set an example."
"Beat them until they realize their mistake."
These battalion commanders and sergeants had their armor stripped off, leaving only their undergarments exposed.
They tried to resist, but their eight subordinates were highly skilled in martial arts, being first-rate experts who suppressed them, rendering them unable to move.
Soon, they were all securely tied to the pillars.
The whips fell mercilessly, and soon bloody welts appeared on their bodies. Their screams echoed in the air, one after another, terrifying the soldiers below.
Pei Qingrong said sternly, "Since Princess Zhenguo took over Tianhe Prefecture, the military expenses of the garrison have increased several times over. In addition to the upgrade of equipment, the accommodation and food conditions for all soldiers have been improved, and the monthly salary has also increased. Those of you with some positions have received unprecedented preferential treatment."
“Enjoying such favorable conditions, you are not motivated and your training is perfunctory. You have let down the expectations of the Princess Zhenguo and failed in your duties. As the commander-in-chief, I will not allow this to happen. This time, I am just giving you a chance to make amends. Next time, you will be expelled from the army and never used again.”
Those officers and lieutenants of higher rank were all resentful and uneasy upon seeing this situation.
These whips were originally meant for them, but Pei Qingrong gave them some leeway. In reality, however, this was still a form of beating.
They hadn't expected that this young woman in her early twenties would have such decisive courage and boldness, striking and punishing without hesitation.
She really dares!
A sense of awe and fear arose in their hearts.
The whips fell incessantly, burning their bodies with pain, and the cries of the battalion commanders and sergeants turned into pleas for mercy.
"General Pei, we will never dare to do it again. We will definitely lead our soldiers to obey orders and train diligently."
"You're new here, we're just getting used to you, but we'll get used to it soon."
"We will resolutely correct this mistake, we will definitely correct it, and we will never repeat it."
