The Qing Dynasty
Chapter 9: Comfort and Disposal
Chapter 9: Comfort and Disposal
After the last person who defected to the Boxers fled from the military camp, Teng Yuzhao's wildly beating heart slowly calmed down.
Although Teng Yuzhao appeared calm on the surface, his heart had been beating violently for a long time, and he could even feel his legs trembling slightly.
Not only because it was his first time killing someone, but he killed three people in a row!
Also, today's situation is extremely dangerous. If it is not handled properly, or even if a soldier pulls the trigger and fires the first shot out of nervousness, his vanguard army will immediately become a bloody battlefield. If that happens, he cannot keep any of the survivors from the left and rear sentries. They must all be cleared out of the vanguard army. Otherwise, the relationship within the army will become tense, and there may even be secret revenge, including shooting from behind.
Once such an extreme situation occurred, half of his vanguard army's most combat-effective troops would be gone, which would be extremely unfavorable for his rapid expansion of the vanguard army.
However, fortunately, no major chaos occurred, and Teng Yuzhao couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart!
At the same time, Teng Yuzao also reaffirmed in his heart the loyalty of Liu Yuzhi, Li Xianze, Li Yulin, Liu Changfa, and Liu Bingyi. These people are the backbone forces that he can rely on to firmly control this army in the future!
Teng Yuzao was even prepared to let go of the left sentry leader Deng Minru and the rear sentry leader Sun Shijun for the time being and make a decision based on the future situation.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Teng Yuzao suddenly shouted, "Everyone, line up."
As Teng Yuzao's order was given, Liu Yuzhi, Li Xianze, including Deng Minru and Sun Shijun who were still in shock, immediately gave orders to their respective teams. The troops at the front and rear outposts also lined up and trotted back to their original positions, where they re-formed their positions.
However, this time, Teng Yuzao's eyeguard Liu Bingyi did not lead his men back to the line, but lined up behind Teng Yuzao. He himself stood behind Teng Yuzao with a rifle in hand, looking murderous, and still maintained a vigilant posture.
Li Yulin and Liu Changfa looked at each other, let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, put away their guns and stood on both sides of Teng Yuzhao again.
After the entire battalion was lined up, Teng Yuzhao turned off the safety of his Mauser pistol and put it back on his waist. He spoke loudly to Liu Yuzhi and Li Xianze with a cold face.
"Without military orders, Liu Yuzhi and Li Xiance took the initiative to command troops to surround their comrades in the camp. Although their actions are understandable, they are guilty and will be fined one month's salary each."
Most of the hundreds of officers and soldiers were surprised at Teng Yuzhao's handling of the matter, but soon some of them became relieved. Some of the platoon leaders and tent heads in the two men's team even showed joy on their faces.
Of course he should be rewarded for his merits, but after all, he was dealing with his own brothers in the camp. It would not be good if the left and rear sentries had grudges in their hearts. Teng Yuzhao did this to appease the officers and soldiers of the two sentries.
Liu Yuzhi and Li Xiance both stepped forward with blank expressions, saluted Teng Yuzao, and answered loudly, "We were in a hurry and acted inappropriately. We accept the blame."
Teng Yuzao nodded and said, "Although you two were panic-stricken, fortunately you didn't make a big mistake. You just know your crime, and you have managed the army well. None of your subordinates were deceived. You deserve to be rewarded. I will reward you separately after reporting this to Lord Zhongtang."
At this moment, everyone finally understood that the slap Teng Yuzhao just gave was a fake, and this sweet date was the real one.
Teng Yuzao waved his hand and said, "Go back to the team."
"Thank you for your cultivation!" Liu Yuzhi and Li Xianze saluted again and strode back to the queue.
Teng Yuzao turned to Deng Minru and Sun Shijun again, his voice still calm, "Deng Minru, Sun Shijun."
"I'm here." Deng Minru and Sun Shijun stepped forward with gritted teeth.
Although he saw the two men were full of shame, Teng Yuzao still said calmly, "You two were negligent in managing the army and were not strict with your subordinates, which led to today's big mistake. You cannot avoid responsibility."
This time, the two men answered in unison, "I cannot escape the guilt of my humble position, and I am willing to take the blame."
Teng Yuzao hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you have done your best to suppress the troops, I will relieve you two of your posts as sentry commanders and temporarily make you military instructors. If you do not wish, you can also leave the team and go to the governor's headquarters, where Lord Zhongtang will arrange for you to be placed elsewhere."
Although he felt guilty, he could not help feeling unwilling to be dismissed from the post of sentry leader. In terms of rank, their sentry leader was also at the fifth rank. Although the rank of military officers in the army was not valued and could not be compared with that of civil officials, even lower than a seventh rank county magistrate, he was still considered a court official after all.
Deng Minru hesitated for a moment, then said to Teng Yuzao, "I am ashamed of the captain's trust and have no face to stay in the camp any longer. I am willing to go to the Lord Zhongtang to confess my guilt."
"Alright."
Teng Yuzao bowed to Deng Minru and said, "Brother Minru, we will meet again later."
Teng Yuzao was obviously trying to chase people away. Deng Minru blushed, saluted Teng Yuzao, turned around, picked up her backpack from the left sentry queue, and hurried away.
After watching Deng Minru's staggering figure disappear outside the gate, Teng Yuzao looked at Sun Shijun again. Sun Shijun said in a low voice with shame, "I deserve the punishment. Thank you for giving me a chance to make amends. I am willing to stay in the camp as an instructor."
Teng Yuzao nodded and waved his hand, signaling Sun Shijun to leave.
This time, Sun Shijun did not go back to the rear outpost team, but lowered his head and walked directly to the group of clerks, medical officers, and book readers.
Teng Yuzao's voice sounded again, "Appoint Li Yulin to temporarily take over the post of left sentry chief, and platoon leader Liu Changfa to temporarily take over the post of rear sentry chief."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
The two men had no objection, after all, they were just taking over temporarily. After answering loudly, they ran to stand in front of the left and rear sentry lines.
Teng Yuzao raised his voice in front of all the officers and soldiers in the battalion, "You have all seen this new flag, right? Now I officially announce to you that the Lord Zhongtang has ordered that the Wuwei Army Vanguard Army be established with my battalion as the backbone, and I will be the acting commander. The Wuwei Army Vanguard Army is officially established immediately."
When he said the last sentence, Teng Yuzao suddenly raised his voice greatly, almost shouting.
Only Li Yulin, Liu Changfa and Liu Bingyi knew this news. It was the first time for the others to hear about it. After a moment of silence, the 680 people in the camp suddenly cheered loudly.
Liu Yuzhi, Li Xiance, Li Yulin, Liu Changfa and other sentinels, who also had happy expressions on their faces, immediately smiled and shouted to stop the noise.
With their battalion as the backbone to form the vanguard army, there is no doubt that their battalion needs to be dispersed and expanded, maybe every sentry will be expanded into a battalion, and then the sentry officer may become the commander of a battalion, and the platoon leaders and tent leaders below will naturally move up a level, and even ordinary soldiers will have plenty of opportunities to become tent leaders or even platoon leaders. How can they not be excited!
Even Sun Shijun had a happy look on his face. He was even secretly glad that he did not leave the vanguard army.
Although he has temporarily lost his military power, he will soon be expanding his army. This is a good opportunity for him to show his abilities. As long as he works diligently and conscientiously, he may soon have the opportunity to regain control of the military power, and even become the commander of a battalion.
