Late? Kill.
Noisy? Kill.
Stealing? Kill.
Slack in training? Kill.
Lying about military intelligence? Kill.
Robbing the people? Kill.
The word 'kill' was clearly uttered in a series of sentences. There was no other punishment other than beheading.
The military staff was abolished.
An indescribable fear rose in everyone's hearts.
They did not doubt it in the slightest as they withstood that terrifying might.
If he really violated a certain rule, would that person enforce it according to military law?
Unconsciously, everyone's standing posture was much more serious than before.
Although his movements were still not standard and did not seem like he had received professional training, his spirit and energy were no longer the same.
His legs were taut, his chest was puffed out, and his waist was straight. He was no longer slouching.
In the crowd, a few lieutenants who had been instructed to mess up the camp looked at each other.
They had already sensed that something was wrong.
The mutiny didn't mess up the camp.
If this continued, this military camp would really be subdued by the monarch.
At that time, if he did not complete the mission, he would be punished by the Great General. As a trusted aide of the Great General, he would definitely not have a good end here.
Compared to not being able to please both sides, choosing one side might still allow them to survive.
A burly centurion immediately gritted his teeth and stood up.
He resisted Jiang Chen's might and shouted,
"Your Majesty, did the Bureau of Military Personnel and the Great General approve of the new army law?”
The centurion took the lead.
Soon after, a few more people stepped forward. They were all military officers, and they were all centurions who led a hundred people.
As for the lieutenants, almost all of them were relatives of the Great General. They had received instructions from the Prime Minister's Estate and returned home early in the morning.
"Your Majesty, isn't this military law a little too harsh?”
"Your Majesty, killing soldiers like this is against the heavens.”
"That's right. The five lieutenants didn't come today either. According to the military law, wouldn't they all be beheaded? They were all relatives of the Great General and were all respected cultivators.”
"Your Majesty, going past the Great General and the Bureau of Military Personnel to give an order to the army is not appropriate.”
"The Great General has always been in charge of the military. No matter what Your Majesty wants to do, you should first seek the Great General's approval. Otherwise, we won't dare to follow orders.”
……
Everyone was talking at the same time, and there was really a trend of them following the crowd.
Moreover, the more he spoke, the more agitated he became. The more he spoke, the more he felt that he was right.
However, Jiang Chen continued to look at them coldly without saying a word.
He had already activated the Son of Heaven's Gaze earlier, so he knew everyone's situation like the back of his hand.
It had to be said that after being a Great General for so many years, Wang Ming's control over this army was still high enough even if he looked down on the army formed by ordinary people.
The five commanders-in-chief were all his relatives.
In this era, the power of clans was deeply rooted, and they were naturally on the same ship.
Even the Confucians paid attention to cultivating one's moral character.
Other than the lieutenant, who was also the chiliarch.
Of the fifty centurions, many of them had relatively low loyalty. It was obvious that even if they were not direct descendants, they were at least lackeys or had connections for benefits.
None of those who stood out had loyalty higher than 40.
Of course, if it wasn't for the fact that they were deeply connected to the Prime Minister's faction, the others wouldn't have the courage to resist his might.
Ordinary people had no background or backing. When faced with things, they would choose to protect themselves and keep their mouths shut.
They couldn't withstand any storm, and their caution was almost seeped into their bones.
Jiang Chen sneered.
He shouted,
"As the ruler, I need the Great General's approval to issue an order?
In your eyes, is the Great General even greater than me, the monarch?”
In the next moment, before anyone could respond, he spoke again.
"According to the new military law, inciting soldiers, sowing discord, disobeying military orders, what are the crimes?”
His cold voice reverberated across the Drill Ground, causing everyone's hearts to turn cold.
Accompanied by the mighty might emitted by the ancient emperor and his cold eyes that no one dared to look at.
In an instant, the soldiers present, even those who stood up to oppose him, felt their hearts tighten.
"Your Majesty, according to the law, he should be beheaded."
The guard of honor cupped his fists in trepidation. He was also quite frightened by this new army technique.
Especially at this moment, he felt that the emperor was about to get serious, and his heart trembled violently.
But on the contrary, he became more respectful and obedient, as if he had been loyal from the beginning.
"Kill them."
"Yes."
Jiang Chen shouted, and the guard of honor rushed out almost subconsciously.
The long sword at his waist was unsheathed, and a head fell to the ground in an instant.
With a Rank-1 cultivation, killing these unranked centurions who did not have any military formations was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
In just a moment, all the officers who stood up and shouted were already lying on the ground with their heads in two places.
