Under the scorching sun, in the very center of the training ground, those flagpoles are never idle; every day, people are hung high on them.
"Fourth brother, this might not work. We can't let them really die here." Yin looked worriedly at the people on the flagpole and tried to persuade him.
"No!" E'shuo firmly opposed Yin's soft heart.
Yin nodded and said, "Brother-in-law is absolutely right. These people are not training properly, and we must not let them escape."
After saying this, Yin sighed. He could accept Yin's insistence.
*********************** (To be completed before 3 PM)
At dawn, Yin got up early and quietly got out of bed. The three of them discussed that they had to train with the navy. It was Yin's turn to be on duty today.
Qingyan followed Yin towards the training ground. In the vast training ground, there was a tall flagpole, but instead of the Eight Banners flag, a person was hanging on it. This person was hanging his head down, his eyes closed and his body limp.
Soon, she noticed something was wrong; the man must have already fainted. Yin simply walked over, exchanged a few words with the people below, and then headed back.
"Little darling, what brings you here?" Yin walked to the entrance of the training ground and found Qingyan standing there, her eyes fixed on the person on the flagpole.
He sighed, carefully observing Qingyan's eyes, worried that she might be afraid of him.
"Fourth Brother, who is that person?" Qingyan looked at the person hanging there, no... he should be bound hand and foot to the flagpole. This person should be from the camp.
Yin smiled bitterly. This person's identity was not simple, but he was the most favored in the mansion. If he hadn't committed a crime, he probably wouldn't have been sent here.
"He is the grandson of the second elder of the Hesheli clan. It is said that he was lending money at high interest rates in Jiangnan. He happened to run into the Dragon Guard who went to fight the vanguard. Tulichen has evidence." Yin recalled that after they went to Jiangnan, Kangxi kept sending more people to inquire about information everywhere, and those officials all stopped.
If the salt merchants hadn't been such scoundrels, Jiangnan would be much cleaner now.
What?!
Were Cao Yin and his family dead, lending money at exorbitant interest rates in Jiangnan?
"Doesn't Cao Yin care?" Cao Yin's position is high enough that the Salt Commissioner of Lianghuai and the Governor-General of Lianghuai seem to have ignored his actions and have not taken any punitive measures.
hehe!
Yin sneered, "How can you manage someone so pampered? Besides, the matriarch of this household adores him. If there's a problem, just go to whichever matriarch you are, and she'll get it done!"
In fact, Yin had investigated these people, and the纨绔 on the flagpole was the one with the most crimes.
"He made a mistake?" These scions of noble families would avoid risks and would never allow Yin, Yin and E'shuo to have any leverage over them unless absolutely necessary.
The person in front of me... is a bit silly.
"Of course, I personally gave the order that the quality of training must be improved, and the speed must be improved even more!" Yin personally gave the order, but this person did not care at all, and even the curfew time of the military camp was disrupted by this person.
Qingyan was astonished. Among those sent for training, very few dared to disobey orders.
"They don't take you seriously. How long has this person been exposed to the sun?" Qingyan's eyes showed a hint of understanding. It seemed that these people were clearly provoking him.
"It's been a night, but it's not over yet. According to the rules we presented to Father Emperor, this person will have to be exposed to the sun for another whole day until midnight tomorrow before he can be released." Yin smiled, knowing that what these people were doing was none of his business.
Pfft!
Can this person survive a full day and night?
“The punishment should be less severe. This person’s physical condition is probably not as good as you think. If you kill him, what can his family do?” Qingyan didn’t want to get entangled with anyone.
"Of course we won't agree, but I have the imperial edict in my hand, who dares to say a word?!" Yin believed that Kangxi would definitely stand on their side, otherwise, he wouldn't have let them lead the troops personally.
His achievements overshadowed the emperor's! He was killed to silence him!
These two words suddenly popped into Qingyan's mind.
"Si Si, you need to be careful. I always feel like there's someone watching us from the shadows!" Qing Yan rarely enters the space with her physical body anymore; in the past, she always entered with her soul.
"Never mind, why would they follow me here?" Yin felt that his movements were very gentle and should not wake Qingyan.
"I followed them here myself, I didn't even know what was going on, and you guys actually hung them up and started fighting!" Qingyan laughed.
Yin didn't care. This punishment was entirely prepared by E Shuo. It was said that during the new army's training, people would be exposed to the scorching sun.
"What do you think?" Yin winked at her a few times, and Qingyan instantly understood that E'shuo was actually behind this plan. "My brother is preoccupied with training, while I focus more on whether these people are loyal. Only those with good martial arts skills and loyalty can be selected. The rest of the people from Purgatory who are just there to fill the quota have all been quietly disposed of."
At this moment, Yin did not want to ask too many questions. At the beginning of the establishment of the new army, Qingyan went to the military camp and secretly investigated with the Saito brothers for two hours. In the end, these suggestions were directly presented to Kangxi's imperial table.
These training programs added to the new army have caused its combat effectiveness to increase dramatically.
"That's ruthless. My brother and I both participated in the training. Compared to the previous training, this is worlds apart," Yin said helplessly.
In fact, they all knew that naval forces were difficult to train, and Kangxi kept E'shuo behind simply to reassure them.
"You got hung on the flagpole?" Qingyan looked at Yin curiously. Normally, he was always serious, but today, his seriousness was tinged with embarrassment. Could there be something else going on?
The thought that Yin had also been warned made her heart start pounding.
Everyone has a gossipy nature.
"Stop making a scene. I wasn't punished, but having trained under E Shuo with my elder brother, I have to admit that E Shuo is an absolute genius," Yin said directly.
During each training session, anyone who causes trouble will be hung on a flagpole, with the duration depending on the severity of the offense.
"Who was the one who was punished for the longest time?" Qingyan asked curiously. E Shuo was ruthless, and many people were afraid of falling into his hands. Not only could he not keep secrets, but he could also trick you into revealing information without you even knowing it.
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Yin's eyes. Qingyan noticed this expression and became even more eager to understand.
"It's the head guard by my elder brother's side!" Yin rubbed his heart. Having a wife who was too clever was a real pain in the ass.
Qingyan can observe everything very clearly, which is not a good thing.
The head guard?!
Qingyan glanced directly at Erlu, wondering if this person had also been hung on the flagpole.
"My lady, I am a man of strict self-discipline and would never do anything illegal or disorderly!" Erlu, feeling uncomfortable under Qingyan's gaze, quickly made his statement.
