"If you're unhappy, just say it!”
Yang Zaixing's eyes flashed as he looked at the excited soldiers below.
The military judge seemed to feel that he was about to be beheaded. He did not care about anything else and said,"Although the Imperial Army camp in the western part of the capital has a quota of 100,000 people, it actually has less than 5,000 people!
The remaining 95,000 spots were all taken by Grand Commandant Gao Qiu!
The Bureau of Military Affairs Envoy Tong Guan colluded with Gao Qiu and received benefits, but he did not care about this!”
"Gao Qiu didn't even let go of these 5,000 Imperial Army soldiers!
Not only did Gao Qiu take away the pay of the five thousand living soldiers, he even turned the Imperial Army into his servants.
Soldiers with some skills were treated as craftsmen to build bricks and carve doors and windows.
Most of the soldiers were treated as laborers by Gao Qiu to help him and the nobles in their wine making workshops, manors, docks, and other industries.”
"Gao Qiu stole the military pay from the soldiers, then stole the wages, and drank the blood of us soldiers!”
"If Bianliang hadn't been attacked by the Jin people not long ago, some of the industries hadn't recovered yet and didn't need too many laborers, even these brothers in the camp would still be suppressed by Gao Qiu!”
"Dare I ask Great General, we are the Imperial Army, but not only do we not receive any pay, we are also treated by Gao Qiu as money-making cattle and horses.
How are the soldiers trained?"
"The wives and children of the soldiers lack clothes and don't even have a place to live. They can only live in the military camp!”
"Dare I ask Great General, can you blame us soldiers who have suffered so much for all this?”
The military judge straightened his neck and glared at him with endless resentment.
The rest of the soldiers also had red eyes and faces. They gritted their teeth so hard that they almost shattered them!
Because the military judge's words were filled with tears and blood, describing the bitterness and hardship of these people!
Yang Zaixing's eyes were burning with anger after hearing the military law officer's words.
He finally knew that the instigator of the decline of the Western Capital Imperial Army was Gao Qiu!
"He ate the empty pay of 95,000 people, embezzled the pay of 5,000 people, and even treated the soldiers like pigs and dogs to suck their bones dry, squeezing out all their value.
Old bastard Gao Qiu, you deserve to die!"
Yang Zaixing clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
However, he did not order the military judge to be released.
After all, it was one thing for Gao Qiu to have no salary, but it was another matter for the army to degenerate and for military law to be abandoned!
The military judge and the soldiers were excusable, but they still had to follow the rules!
Kindness does not lead to war, righteousness does not lead to business.
Even if Yang Zaixing released the military law officer now, these soldiers might not be convinced by him.
If he wanted to establish his prestige in the army and win the loyalty of the soldiers, he had to convince them and completely suppress them!
Yang Zaixing swept his fierce eyes across the military judge and the furious soldiers on the drill ground. He shouted,""Even so, this is not a reason for the army to fall!”
"Gao Qiu embezzled your pay, so why don't you dare to fight for it?
How could an army without blood be considered the Imperial Army of the Great Song?”
From the military judge to everyone else, you can be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment!
The military judge received five hundred sticks and was beaten up in five rounds!
The rest of the soldiers would each receive fifty sticks!”
As Yang Zaixing spoke, he saw the unconvinced looks in the soldiers 'eyes and changed the topic,""This general knows that you are still unconvinced. This beating will be remembered for the time being.
Now, put on your military uniforms, take your weapons, and follow me!”
Yang Zaixing walked down from the platform and saw that the soldiers were still furious and unmoved. He shouted,"Those who don't want to leave with this general, do they want to be beaten right now?”
As soon as he said this, the faces of the soldiers changed. Although there was still unwillingness, indignation, and confusion in their eyes, they all followed Yang Zaixing.
Yang Zaixing, dressed in plain clothes, led thousands of soldiers towards Bianliang City.
Not long after, a prosperous and wealthy manor appeared in front of them.
The expressions of the soldiers changed. They recognized this manor. It was none other than the estate under Grand Commandant Gao Qiu's name.
Not only were there farmers who farmed for Gao Qiu, but there were also winemaking workshops, slaughtering workshops, grinding workshops, tofu workshops, and other workshops!
"This is Gao Qiu's manor. What does this kid want by bringing us here?”
"Don't tell me he still wants to sell us to Gao Qiu?”
Some of the soldiers discussed in private.
Amidst all these speculations and discussions, Yang Zaixing brought them to the manor.
Yang Zaixing glanced at them and pointed at the manor in front of him.""Aren't you feeling indignant and aggrieved?
I'll give you a chance to charge into the manor and smash it!
If there are any soldiers of the West Capital Imperial Army in the manor, bring them out!”
As soon as Yang Zaixing said this, the military judge and the soldiers were stunned.
At this moment, they even wondered if they had heard wrongly.
That was Grand Commandant Gao Qiu's manor, and he was the superior of all the Imperial Army soldiers in the world!
Although they hated Gao Qiu to death, how could they dare to destroy his manor?
As long as Gao Qiu gave the word, he could mobilize the elite Imperial Army of Bianliang and the Dragon Martial Army to wipe out these motherless Imperial Army soldiers!
The 1,000-man army of the West Capital was not small either, so they were immediately discovered by the people in the Gao family manor.
A group of several dozen burly men in green robes walked out of the manor under the lead of a steward in embroidered robes.
The manager was called Gao Quan, and he was Gao Qiu's trusted butler. He usually took care of Gao Qiu's businesses and squeezed the Imperial Army dry.
At this moment, when he saw a young man leading a group of soldiers from the West Capital Camp, his face immediately darkened as he shouted,"It's not spring yet, so the manor doesn't need so many laborers. You bunch of killing geniuses, get lost first!”
Gao Quan was used to bossing around the Imperial Army, and he was now even more disdainful.
As for Yang Zaixing, whom Gao Quan had never met before, he had completely ignored him.
The soldiers were immediately angered by the barking. However, they could not afford to offend the seventh-grade officials in front of the Prime Minister.
They had a grudge against Gao Quan for a long time, but they dared not speak out.
However, at this moment, Yang Zaixing suddenly shouted,""Dog slave, who gave you the guts to humiliate the soldiers of the Great Song!”
Yang Zaixing raised his fist and punched Gao Quan in the face. Blood immediately flowed out of Gao Quan's face, and he was sent flying for more than ten steps before landing heavily on the ground.
His teeth were all knocked out!
This scene stunned everyone!
