This little friction with the Besta Army is just a trivial matter for Char. As for the rewards and punishments of his subordinates, there is quite a way.
Violating the military regulations should be punished, so Xi Ya did not exempt the 50 cavalry from the guilt, and the punishment should be punished. But how to punish it is important.
Under the premise of being punished, if you lose, you will be punished heavily, and if you win, you can be punished lightly. This kind of treatment method, but instead won the sergeant's heart.
In Xia Ya's opinion, no matter what, if there is no bloodthirsty heart to kill, the tigers in the army will be finished. What he wants is the division of tigers and wolves, not a group of sheep who have been bullied to the end and dare not fight back.
In the final analysis, if these fifty cavalrymen were bullied by the Besta people today, if they still abide by the military regulations, dare not fight back, and honestly return - I am afraid that after Xia Ya knows, although he will not punish them, But afterwards, there will be an opportunity to transfer these people out of the cavalry.
Char is not worried at all about the impact of the friction with the Besta people - it's just a small episode. From the overall point of view, there is room for cooperation between himself and Besta. He himself and the governor's wife are very clear that although the imperial family is fighting against each other, from the current stage, the benefits of cooperation between the two parties are greater.
As for this friction, it's not a bad thing - Xiaya is sure, the news of this matter will soon spread, and the above knows that his army and the Besta army had a fight, I'm afraid that the president will grow up behind his back. Take a breath.
This matter has passed, and on Besta's side, the Governor's wife never mentioned it again, and did not send anyone to negotiate. Everything was as if this matter had never happened.
…
Xia Ya lived in the military camp outside the city, and there were many fewer people who came to visit. At first, the powerful sent people out of the city to the military camp to send invitations and so on. Xia Ya also ordered the soldiers guarding the camp to block them all, only talking about military affairs. The important place, idlers are forbidden to enter.
Over time, those dignitaries in the city understood that this General Xia Ya didn't seem to want to be too involved with the wealthy and powerful family of the empire. This meaning was already obvious, and the heart of winning Xia Ya gradually faded. Anyway, this kind of public relations trick doesn't care for a while, it's too eager, but it looks too ugly.
It was the governor's wife of the Besta Military Region, who reportedly stayed in the city for many days and caused quite a stir among the noble circles. The governor's wife is beautiful and moving, and her skills are extremely clever. She is like a duck in the water in the circle of powerful people. I heard that in just a few days, she has become a new figure in the circle of powerful people in the imperial capital.
The governor's wife was originally from an extraordinary background, and her speech and demeanor were not comparable to the roughness of Xi Ya. Naturally, she was very popular with the nobles, and she had already been faintly integrated into the noble circle. There was a small banquet on two days and a large banquet on three days. I heard that even Emperor Garcia had been summoned several times, and he had also been in and out of the prime minister's residence frequently these days. It is already clear that it is a red man who is in the limelight.
Under such a big environment, Besta's market is naturally rising. In addition, Xiaya took the initiative to leave the city and live outside the city. For a time, the new force of Besta Military Region has a new pillar of the empire. stance.
The governor's wife is also said to have visited many important departments of the empire, whether it is the military department, the government affairs department, and the finance department. The governor's wife of the Ta military region has a very high evaluation.
There was also a small interlude. One day, the frame of the Governor's wife met the Lantis people's motorcade on the road, and the two sides huddled together on the road, almost repeating the scene of Char and the Landis people fighting for the road that day.
But as a result, when Ghislent in the Landis convoy heard that the opposite was the governor's wife of the Besta Military Region, he actually ordered the convoy to give way.
After this incident happened, it was widely circulated in the imperial capital, and some people immediately compared this incident with the battle between Char and the Lantis people that day, and by comparison, that General Char was arrogant and arrogant. Attitude, almost to use force to force the Landis to give way. And the governor's wife of the Besta Military Region was a soldier who subdued without fighting, and let the Landis people take the initiative to give way - isn't this a high judgment
All of a sudden, everyone looked up at Besta Military Region.
From the point of view of public opinion, at least the Besta Military Region is better than that General Charlei Ming in terms of the treatment of the royal family, the relationship between the nobles, and the attitude of the Lantis people.
It also occupies a land in the north of the empire, with a large area and tens of thousands of soldiers. But obviously the limelight of the Besta people is much higher than that of Xia Lei Ming.
After waiting for a few days, news came from the Imperial City that the military had issued a document, ordering the troops of the Besta Military Region and the Northern Theater to go back to their jurisdiction to garrison—Xia Ya can finally lead his troops back north.
However, just one day before departure, Char Ya received a message from a messenger sent by Adric, asking Char Ya to come into the city. Xia Ya didn't know what was going on, so he hurried to the imperial capital with a few people.
When he arrived in the city, he did not go to the military headquarters, but was taken to Adrick's residence by the messenger.
Adrick originally had his own home in the imperial capital, but it was destroyed in the war. After the restoration of Osgilia, the royal family allocated a mansion to Adric near the palace in order to show its kindness to Adric. Adrick usually works in the military headquarters, but rarely returns to his residence, but today, for some unknown reason, he returned to his residence and waited for Xi Ya.
Xiaya and others hurriedly rode their horses all the way to Adric's residence. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a person kneeling under the steps of the gate.
This man was kneeling in the middle of the road, wearing only a pair of trousers, his upper body was naked, revealing his majestic and sturdy muscles.
And the man kneeling at the door had thick gauze wrapped around his shoulders and arms, obviously still injured. A big head, but his hair was shaved, and the shiny head was full of cold sweat.
Xia Ya dismounted and handed the reins to his subordinates. When he strode to the door, he looked back at the man kneeling on the ground. The man lowered his head and could not see his face clearly. When Xia Ya walked past him , The man also remained motionless and never raised his head.
Xiaya was curious and didn't know who he was, but he knelt at the door of Adric's house. Seeing that the guards at the door of Adric's house were all calm and not surprised.
Xia Ya suppressed the doubts in his heart and walked up. Adric's guards naturally recognized Xia Ya, and he directly invited Xia Ya to go in without any notice.
After this house was given to Adric, it had not been built in time. It looked a bit rundown, but the area was not small. Xiaya walked through the corridor and courtyard, and was led to the door of a study by the servant who led the way. Pushing the door in, he saw Adric standing there, with a huge map of the Byzantine Empire hanging on the wall. The military minister of the empire was folded his arms and stared at the map with a frown in contemplation.
"Here?" Adrick didn't look back, but said lightly, "Sit down."
As he said that, he took a charcoal pen in his hand, drew a circle on a certain position on the map, and sighed.
Char noticed that the position that Adric circled with charcoal was the military region of a rebel party in the western part of the empire.
"General, summon me, is there any military situation?" Xia said sternly.
"Well, there are some things..." Adric pondered for a while, pointed to the map and said, "Look at this place."
Xia Ya nodded, looked at it twice and said, "This military region is far from the imperial capital, the general wants to..."
"Don't think about it." Adric smiled bitterly: "Even if it is a counterattack, our army will never be able to fly there. It's just that the Lantis people have occupied the port of Catania, and a fleet has arrived a few days ago. , and sent another 20,000 troops. Now the Landis have nearly 50,000 troops in the port of Catania. They have informed us that they will send troops from the port of Catania soon to help us. Counterattacking the rebels, I took a look, and the Landis may be the first target to attack here."
When Xia Ya heard this, her brows wrinkled, and she looked a little dignified.
Adrick glanced at Xi Ya: "Huh? You also see the doorway?"
Xia Ya said indifferently: "The counterattack of the rebels should be based on the domestic army. After all, this is a civil war in our country. The Landis are both allies and guest troops. It stands to reason that we should attack and they should respond. Now that they don't wait for us, they are going to take the lead, which is a bit too anti-customer-oriented. Given the current internal chaos of the rebels, it is not a problem to take down this military area, the problem is... After taking over, who will take over this site! "
"That's what I'm worried about. These Lantis people are not greedy enough, I'm just afraid that they will lay down their territory, just like the rescue of Osgilia this time, and the troops will not leave when they are stationed in, and that will be the problem at that time. After a pause, Adric frowned and said, "Even if they are willing to withdraw their troops in the end, after the place is occupied by them, it will be enough for them to loot for a while. The one that will be returned to us at that time will be looted by them. It's a mess, it's always us who suffer."
Xia Ya thought for a moment, but couldn't think of any way, and her face was a little gloomy.
Adrick glanced at Xia Ya and sighed: "Okay, our country is not as good as others, and this loss is settled now, alas, there is no other way to think about it. Hmm... You don't have to worry about this matter, I I didn't call you here today for this matter."
When Xia heard this, she felt a little relieved.
After all, he really doesn't want to care about these things... This is an unsolvable problem. The empire's own troops are insufficient to quell the rebellion, so it is inevitable to invite an ambitious foreign aid like Landis to come in, so it is inevitable to suffer some losses.
What he is most worried about is that if Adric opens his mouth, he asks himself to send troops to quell the rebellion... His own foundation is unstable right now, and the ground he has won is not yet stable. The army has just gone through a major battle and needs to be reorganized.
Besides, he dispatched the army in his hand to crusade the rebel military region, and once the war starts, it will be money and food! At that time, people have to eat horses and chew, who will bear these expenses? The emperor will definitely not pay for himself. At that time, you will fight to the death with the rebels, but you will lose your own troops!
The land that has been taken down cannot be owned by oneself...
Since Adrick made it clear that he did not want to send troops, Xia felt relieved and smiled: "Then, I don't know if the general called me..."
"Well, wait a minute." Adrick sighed and said loudly, "Someone!"
A soldier at the door immediately pushed the door in, and Adric said lightly, "Bring him in."
"Yes!"
The soldier went out, and after a while, brought in a man.
When Xia Ya saw it, it was the majestic man who was naked and kneeling on the road he saw outside the door before he entered the door.
The man was brought in by two soldiers, entered the house, and fell to his knees on the ground, his voice hoarse: "The sinner has seen the general!"
When he was talking, he finally raised his head and looked at Adric with a desolate face. Xiaya finally saw the face of this man. , immediately recognized.
"Yi?" Xia Ya couldn't help but blurt out: "It's you? You're not that one... The guy in the fourth show in Wangcheng? Aha, you shaved your head, but I almost didn't recognize it. Ah, what's your name? , Nigur, right?"
This person is Nigur! General Spann's nephew, the giant Nigur who was once one of the Four Shows of the Royal City!
Nigur also saw Xia Ya, and he naturally recognized the young imperial hero who is currently in the limelight in this empire. Seeing Xia Ya is in full bloom, he is proud of the spring breeze and famous in the mainland. Looking at Xia Ya, I couldn't help but feel a bit desolate in my heart. When I first saw this Xia Yaleiming, the other party was just a small hunter on the Wildfire Plain, but now the other party is already a general of the official residence, an important official of the empire, a hero of the party, and a person in the world.
And myself, but...
Nigur took a deep breath and bowed his head to Xia Ya and saluted: "I have seen General Xia Yaleiming... Xiaguan... Well, the sinner, it is Nigur."
"Sinners?" Xia Ya was taken aback and frowned, "What crime did you commit?"
Ni Gu'er's eyes were red, and he said with tears: "The criminals neglected their duties and left their posts without permission, allowing the rebels to attack the city with pride, causing a catastrophe..."
When Xia Ya heard this, she was also at a loss. Adric next to him finally sighed and said lightly, "Xia Ya, you should remember that he... is General Spahn's nephew."
…
Speaking of Nigur, these days, it is really like living in a nightmare for this young man!
At the beginning, he changed his mind and served in the army, and he was also very hardworking. The prodigal son turned back and was determined to inherit the glory of the family. Finally, he was promoted to battalion officer, responsible for guarding a section of the city defense of Osgilia.
Originally, what was placed in front of him should have a promising future. He has a family background, and he has shown the momentum of progress and enough effort. If everything is normal, within two years, he will become a young man in the empire. Noble newcomer.
But the city of Osgilia was broken, but it became his nightmare!
The most unfortunate thing is that the rebels started from him. Ge Li, a former companion of the four shows in the royal city, colluded with the rebels, and used Masha's beauty trick to transfer Nigur and Ge on the night of the city's destruction. The inside was proud to control the city defense, the inside should cooperate with the outside, and the rebels broke the city defense!
After all, Nigur left the city defense and went to the city to return his lover privately that night, which was enough to be charged with "leaving AWOL"! Moreover, he believed in the traitor Gerry, and finally caused the rebel army to break the city. His guilt is not too deep.
On the day he broke the city, he was seriously injured. Later, when he was retreating, he was taken back to the palace by the defenders.
Later, Osgilia recovered, but his uncle Spahn died at the last moment, which caused the tragedy of Nigur!
When the city was originally broken, as an officer in charge of city defense, he made a big mistake and should be punished. But after all, he was Spahn's nephew, and everyone knew that he was the heir to General Spahn's family. Span is also the leader of the city defense army. He is a figure raised by the royal family to stand up to Adrick in the military. If Span is alive, Nigur's life may be better, and there may not be a chance to make a comeback in the future.
But the problem is, General Spahn died in battle!
After Spahn's death, Nigur lost the protection of his uncle's wings. In officialdom, it is normal for people to take tea and cool, let alone people die
Fortunately, Spahn used to have a great prestige among the city guards, and Spahn himself had a great contribution to the war in guarding Osgilia. After the final conclusion, Nigur was able to avoid death, but he was deprived of all military positions, and was directly demoted to civilians. He even deprived the family of the right to inherit the title due to his sin. General Spahn himself had a noble title. , also ordered by the royal family, and selected a collateral male in the Spann family to inherit.
Nigur became a lost dog.
And he didn't have the army, and he was cleared out by the army - he was originally Spahn's nephew, and Spahn naturally had old subordinates in the army. If Nigur had committed an ordinary crime, others might have taken care of General Spahn in favor of him, but what Nigur committed was a big mistake! Because of his negligence, the city of Osgilia broke through, and he broke through in his defense zone! No one can cover such a big crime, and no one can take care of him.
Moreover, after the rebels broke the city, they burned, killed, and looted, and the city guards suffered heavy casualties, so many lives, and such great losses. Among the city guards, the soldiers below naturally hated this Nigur to the core. The guilt is no longer something that General Spahn's affection can restore.
Among the city guards, I don’t know how many people lost their family, brothers and comrades in the melee after the city was broken. Everyone sees General Spahn’s love, and it is a great love not to go to Nigur’s trouble. How could it be possible to tolerate him staying in the city guards
Therefore, Nigur has lived a really miserable life these days.
The guilt in my heart is tormenting this young man all the time.
…
After listening to Adric's brief description, Xiaya nodded and looked at Nigur who was kneeling in front of him. Nigur's body was trembling, the muscles on his face were twisted, his eyes were blood red, and his face was full of tears.
Xiaya sighed and looked at Adric: "I already understand what the general meant to come to me... ah..."
"Although this kid committed a serious crime, he was also deceived when he talked about the city's destruction. Moreover, he performed very well in the army before, and he was considered a good talent. It's just a pity..." Adric slowly Said: "He has nothing at the moment, and was cleared out by the family, and the city guards here in the imperial capital can't stay any longer..."
Nigur said loudly: "My lord, I don't ask for anything else. No matter the title of the family, I don't care about the previous position... I deserved it if I was deprived! I know that even if I die 10,000 times, I can't redeem it. Back to my big sin! But I don't want to die like this! I still have a deep hatred in my heart! I just want the general to accept me and serve in the army! Even as a pawn! As a forward soldier, I can fight against the rebels , will die on the battlefield in the future... These days, I am tortured by guilt and hatred in my heart day and night, I don't want to die like a dog! I just want to die on the battlefield, as long as I can kill the rebels, I will be a death squad …”
Saying that, this huge man nodded again and again, his head slammed on the floor, and when he raised his head, his forehead was already full of blood, mixed with blood and tears, and his voice was hoarse, making people look sideways!
"General Spahn is my colleague. If it wasn't for him and I working together, this Osgilia would not have been able to be defended. General Spahn died for the country, and I naturally couldn't watch him, the only nephew, be abolished. But even though I am the Minister of Military Affairs, I am not free to show favoritism, and now... if I force him into the army, I am afraid that..."
Before Adrick could finish speaking, Char had already nodded.
"Okay, my lord, I see what you mean."
Xiaya stood up, walked in front of Nigur, looked into Nigur's eyes, his eyes were like electricity: "Since you want to die on the battlefield, then I will accept you. You can join my northern army, from Be a pawn in front of the horse! Listen carefully, I will not treat you favorably just because you were introduced by General Adric, or because you are General Spahn's nephew! On the contrary, you must stand in our northern army, You have to be prepared for hardships! First enter the army as a pawn for training. All military regulations must be followed, and they will be even more severe! If you violate any military regulations, you will be punished three times as much as others! And within half a year, you have no military pay and no vacation! After half a year, if you are still alive and not dead, I will allow you to go into battle to kill the enemy!"
Nigur's body was shocked, he raised his head and looked at Xia Ya, his eyes suddenly shot out with excitement, after struggling to kowtow a few times, he was unable to say a word with trembling.
Xia Ya said coldly: "I don't like a big man to cry the most! Remember, my man in the northern army sheds blood without tears! You have already violated one of our military regulations! Now get out and look for My captain of the bodyguard will report to you, get ten whips first! If you see you crying again in the future, get out of the barracks for me!"
"Yes!"
Nigur immediately raised his chest, wiped away the tears and blood on his face, gave a solemn salute, got up and strode out.
Adrick looked at Xi Ya, took a deep breath, and showed a meaningful smile on his face: "Hmph, yes, you kid, you look like you're leading a soldier."
Xia Ya smiled lightly: "I learned it from you, General. When you were your personal soldier, you set the rule of not shedding tears."
Adrick nodded, and suddenly said again, "You are harsh on him, and the punishment is three times more than people. I can understand, but you have an appointment with him for half a year, but why?"
Xia Ya sighed and smiled bitterly: "I saw the look in this kid's eyes, and I knew that he had been tortured to the point of death, and his eyes were full of death desires. After less than a month, he died of depression. Since the general handed him over to me, I can't let him die like this. The purpose of making an agreement with him for half a year is to stimulate his vitality, so that he can fight in battle after half a year, He won't beg for death within half a year. In half a year, the grief in his heart will slowly dissipate. After half a year, after his mentality has calmed down, he will go into battle to kill the enemy and make credit. I will not wrong him, and I will give it to him. There is a way out. Live up to your entrustment, General."
Adrick listened, nodded again and again, looked at Xia Ya for a long time, and sighed again: "You kid, you have really grown up."
After a pause, Adrick looked at Xiaya, his eyes became a little complicated, he hesitated for a while, but finally opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.
"Your order has been issued. Within three days, you will be ordered to take your troops to the north to return to the jurisdiction. Hmm... There are also the Besta people who will return to the north with you. This time, the above means that you should leave at the same time. The meaning of asking you to supervise each other, speaking of which, no one will be at ease with both of you. You leave together, which is also the meaning of the above. "
Xia Ya laughed: "Thank you, General, I've been impatient in the imperial capital for a long time."
…
Xia Ya walked out of Adric's mansion, and as soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw Nigur kneeling on the ground, holding his hands above his head, bare back, while his captain, holding a whip, was whipping on Nigur's back.
Nigur had whip marks on his back, his skin was ripped open, and blood was dripping, but this man gritted his teeth and said nothing.
When Xia Ya came out, the captain of the guard was putting down the whip in his hand, and said coldly: "After the ten whips, you can get up. If you violate the military regulations again in the future, you will be punished severely!"
Saying that, the head guard nodded to Xia Ya: "Sir, according to your order, the ten whips are finished."
Xia Ya gave Ni Gu'er a cold look: "Give him a horse and let him follow the team out of the city."
Saying that, he stopped looking at Nigur, got on his horse and took the lead.
Nigur took a horse from the hand of the guard beside Xia Ya, endured the pain on his body, got on the horse, and followed behind the team with his teeth gritted.
Xia Ya galloped all the way, passed two intersections, looked back quietly, saw Nigur riding horses at the end of the team, did not fall behind, and nodded secretly in his heart.
It's not that Xia Ya is cruel and deliberately torturing this Nigur, but he actually understands Nigur's mood at this moment. If others treat him well at this moment, I am afraid that the guilt in Nigur's heart will make him more unable to extricate himself. A little more ruthless, but it will make him feel a little better.
