After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Today's oath-taking ceremony is destined to be an extraordinary day for the military households in Songhu.

At the beginning, General Zheng, standing on the stage, said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"The Japanese pirates have committed many evil deeds and everyone has the right to punish them! Today, this general will lead everyone to go out to sea and wipe out the Japanese pirates who invaded Songhu this time!"

"But before that, I have two more things to announce."

"First, we are about to go out to sea to kill the enemy. To prevent someone from colluding with other Japanese pirates to cause chaos while our troops are weak, the hidden dangers in Songhu, the rear area, must be eliminated!"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands and ordered, "Bring up those four spies who are in contact with the Japanese!"

The guards quickly brought four prisoners who were tied with ropes onto the stage.

When the soldiers saw it, they were immediately shocked.

This, isn’t this their Qianhu?

Then, the general told them that the reason why he temporarily adjusted the marching route was because

The reason why the Japanese pirates went straight to Shadong Fort where his main general was a few days ago was because these four scums kept selling military secrets to the Japanese pirates.

Moreover, these four people often embezzled military pay, harmed military households, and committed many evil deeds.

"Soldiers, what do you think? Should these four people die?"

Zheng Yuannai asked loudly.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

The soldiers raised their arms and shouted, their morale high.

Everyone understood the commander's intention from this scene.

Zhao Qianhu and the other four not only embezzled their military pay, but also often enslaved them to do chores in Qianhu's homes. They even forced their family members to work for them at extremely low prices during the slack season to earn money, treating them completely as their own private slaves.

Even some of the good-looking wives, daughters or boys in the families of military households were captured by these thousand households for sexual pleasure.

What’s hateful is that Qianhu has absolute power in the garrison and also employs a group of fat and strong thugs and servants. They have no other choice but to endure it.

Now, the general will take charge of the situation and get rid of the evil for them, and their lives will be much better in the future.

Who would object to such a good thing?

"The army is in favor of you four. You have committed many evil deeds. Today is the day you will die!"

As he spoke, Zheng Yuannai drew out the long sword from his waist.

The master of the temple was probably worried that he would get injured in the battle, so he not only gave him ten bottles of elixir, but also granted him tremendous strength for a period of forty-nine days.

At this moment, he was lifting the sword weighing more than 20 kilograms effortlessly.

He easily stabbed the centurion's chest with one sword.

The man died instantly.

Except for Captain Zhao, the other two Captains were so frightened that they screamed on the spot.

"General, spare your life! General, spare your life!"

"General... please don't kill me. I will never dare to do it again!"

He shouted and kowtowed for mercy, completely lacking the arrogance he had when he first came to question him about recruiting soldiers for training.

Captain Zhao was also so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he was more confident than the other two. He said in a strong but weak tone:

"Zheng Yuannai, you killed a sixth-rank commander privately. The commander will not forgive you!"

Zheng Yuannai was not afraid at all, and said confidently:

"During the war, this general has full authority over the Songhu front and has the right to act at his own discretion!"

The truth is this.

But his ruthlessness actually offended the commander-in-chief.

Therefore, he simply spoke out in front of the soldiers:

"Now the situation is pressing. We should first kill you spies who will bring hidden dangers to the rear of Songhu. Will the commander-in-chief take revenge on you just because you are half his father-in-law?"

Most of the soldiers and civilians below only then realized that the reason this man was so arrogant was because he had a relationship with the commander-in-chief who was higher up.

It is conceivable that Captain Zhao committed many evil things on a daily basis, all because he relied on the power of the commander-in-chief.

One can imagine how much pressure the general was under when he executed these villains.

How could they not give their full support to the general?

The military households were filled with indignation and shouted:

"The general is here to eliminate harm for the people. Who dares to take revenge for personal gain?"

"Yes! The general killed those who deserved to die. If the commander-in-chief wants revenge for personal gain, we will go to the police to seek justice for the general!"

Amid the shouts of the military households, Captain Zhao began to feel unprecedented fear.

He knew that Zheng Yuan was determined to kill him.

And those military households also wanted him dead.

He will really die today.

Seeing Zheng Yuannai stabbing the other two thousand households to death with one sword after another without hesitation, he was about to come to him. He couldn't control his body and felt a heat under his body.

But he still did not beg for mercy, because begging for mercy was useless.

He glared at Zheng Yuannai fiercely and cursed:

"Zheng Yuannai, you will not die well! You will never have a good ending!"

Zheng Yuannai was not afraid at all.

This is something he has wanted to do for a long time, and with the support of the temple master, why would he be timid again?

He stabbed Zhao Qianhu in the chest with a sword, ending his life.

Zheng Yuannai held up his bloodstained sword, looked down at the excited soldiers below, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"From now on, anyone who colludes with the Japanese pirates and harms soldiers will end up like this, no matter how powerful his backing is!"

"Come here, send the bodies of these four scums back to their respective guard posts and hang them up for a hundred days as a warning to others!"

To serve as a warning to others, it goes without saying who the target of the shock is.

The soldiers below were extremely excited and filled with respect, admiration and gratitude for General Zheng Yuannai.

"The general is wise!"

"The general is wise!"

"Swear allegiance to the general till death!"

The passionate shouts spread throughout the entire training ground.

Zheng Yuannai looked at the excited expressions of the oppressed soldiers and his blood began to boil in his heart.

he made it!

With the support of the temple master, he will definitely make sure that the lives of his soldiers will get better and better in the future!

He raised his hand slightly to quiet the soldiers.

Zheng Yuannai said again:

"The second thing I want to tell you today is that from now on, all the soldiers under my command will implement new reward and punishment rules..."

He repeated the changes made by the temple master to the rewards and punishments.

Not only the soldiers, but also the civilians who followed them into the battle were all excited.

"Oh my god, if we divide 30% of the spoils among the meritorious people, how much money would that be?"

"Yes, the pirates have been plundering for many years, so they must have saved a lot!"

"Come and learn how to calculate!"

"I figured it out! If the pirates have 100,000 taels, then each of us can get 20 taels!"

"Twenty taels! Wow, that's more than enough for the whole family to spend for a year!"

"If I kill more pirates than others, I will get more than 20 taels. I will be rich!"

"Even if we die, we can share the spoils according to our military merits, and we can also get an extra 70 taels of pension. It's worth it to die. For people like us, selling our bodies can only make more than 20 taels at most!"

"Yes, with so much money, we can die with peace of mind!"

The captured civilians who followed the expedition were also extremely surprised and delighted.

They originally went there just to seek revenge or rescue their loved ones, but they could also share the spoils.

Although it's only half of what the military households get, it's still a good deal.

After all, military households are soldiers. They must obey military orders for their entire lives and have no freedom, so it is reasonable for them to take more.

If they killed a few more Japanese pirates, even if the imperial court's reward could not be paid in full, they would at least get thirty or forty taels of silver, which would allow them to spend money for two or three years!

Everyone sighed that Zheng Yuan was a good general. While he was so kind and generous to his subordinates, he was also full of desire for money and murderous intent towards the Japanese pirates.

The soldiers and civilians in the arena were all in high spirits and full of fighting spirit.

More than 1,600 people set out on the journey to Glass Island with high spirits.
