"I am the colonel inspector of the Fifth Army Censorate, Pei Xuan." An officer with a beard and his eyebrows were inserted into his temples, sitting behind the middle of the camp, his voice was as deep as thunder and his energy was ripe.

Under this desk, there was a thin man who was so dark. Although he was not very handsome, he was carrying three silver sharp-angled crosses on his shoulders. He turned out to be a colonel.

Pei Xuan slapped the agglomeration and shouted loudly: "The officers in the hall reported their names, military ranks, and military positions!"

"I am the official Mao Shi, the official of the First Battalion of the Second Guard Division, with the rank of colonel." Mao Shi glared at Pei Xuan, angry but weak.

"Sit down!" Pei Xuan shouted violently. He didn't like this casual officer the most, and was even more surprised that he could get the title of colonel in his responsibilities. This was too alternative to the East Palace Army, which focused on discipline and military appearance.

Mao Shi glanced at Pei Xuan's flying fish suit, then sat up straight lazily, and placed his hands on his thighs as required by Jun Ying.

Pei Xuan was not angry and shouted: "On the fourth day of the 12th month of the 18th year of Chongzhen, who ordered the killing of prisoners in the Battle of Tucheng!"

"It's me." Mao Shi replied in response.

"Was there a riot in the prisoners at that time?"

“No riot.”

"Can you insult the national system?"

"I don't understand what they're shouting."

"Then do you think they are insulting the national system?"

"I can't say anything good anyway."

Pei Xuan stared at Mao Shi, wrote two words on the paper with a pencil, and drew a circle. The clerk sitting on the ground was writing hard on the paper, and finally caught up with the progress, and then stopped writing.

"Since there is no riot in the prisoners, you are not sure whether they are insulting the national system. Why did you make the order to kill the prisoners!" Pei Xuan shouted.

"They may be rioting." Mao Shi said.

Pei Xuan took out a piece from a stack of paper and beat it hard: "The record of the judges in the military: On the fourth day of the 12th month, the enemy was taken over at 18:27; the battle ended at 19:28; the order was ordered to capture the prisoners and clean up the battlefield. At 21:00, the order was ordered to kill prisoners. This record matches the original record of the military order record, what else can you say!"

"I don't admit it." Mao Shi glanced at Pei Xuan and turned his head away.

"From ordering the capture of prisoners to ordering the killing of prisoners for fear of riots, you ordered the killing of prisoners. During this period, one hour and fifty minutes, nearly an hour! During this time, you have not disarmed the prisoners and imprisoned them in separate camps!" Pei Xuan shouted in one breath: "If you act according to Caodian, how could the prisoners riots!"

Mao Shi said carelessly: "I did as the Taoist script, but later I found that these people were powerful and I was worried that after the medicine was effective, I would not be able to subdue them."

"What medicine works!" Pei Xuan shouted.

"I only have the right to read the five-star secret sent by the General Staff Military Information Department. If there is any leakage, I will be dismissed." Mao Shi smiled and said, "You may know if you go to the General Staff to ask."

Pei Xuan sneered: "I don't need to know either. In this way, are you just worried about the prisoners' riots and then kill them?"

"Yes." Mao Shi said: "According to Caodian, in order to ensure the safety of our army, civilians who have made ill-gotten plots can be killed, let alone captured soldiers."

Pei Xuan sneered again and asked again: "Someone confessed that after 20 o'clock on the fourth day of the lunar month, the Chief of Staff Cao Ning whispered to you, what are you saying?"

"It's nothing more than celebrating my victory in this battle." Mao Shi said.

"He didn't let you kill prisoners?"

Mao Shi straightened his body: "I ordered the killing of prisoners because I found that the prisoners might riot and had nothing to do with anyone else. My battalion General Staff did not participate. I did not report it to the division headquarters."

"Why don't you report to the division headquarters?" Pei Xuan asked along.

"Time is tight, I'm afraid the medicine will not work too much." Mao Shi said.

Pei Xuan stopped. This was the second time Mao Shi mentioned the issue of "medicine efficacy", but this issue also involved the secrets of the General Staff Military Information Department. He turned his mind and decided to avoid this "shield".

"Don't you know that you're killing prisoners?" Pei Xuan asked.

"I have never reported it, I don't know if the judge of the military said it." Mao Shi said it without any loss.

"How did you deal with the corpse?" Pei Xuan asked.

"I am only responsible for ordering the battlefield to be cleaned. As for who will do it, how to do it, and where to sweep it, I have never cared about it." Mao Shi said.

"Hmph. If it weren't for your order, how could those heads appear in Beijing!"

"Maybe it was because of the god who couldn't see it anymore, so he used magic to transport it." Mao Shi said with a smile.

Pei Xuan patted the awkward: "Bold!"

"Hey, I said you are also carrying the military rank, why should you stand up for those Eastern Captains?" Mao Shi used attack as the defense.

"I only know one truth: military law will never be violated at all!"

Pei Xuan's perverted character made him very uneasy in the officialdom.

It was only after Wu Changchun knew about the military officers of Shuntian Prefecture that they were exiled to the Five City Military Commanders. Later, Wu Changchun took charge of the military judges and naturally thought of this ruthless and ruthless provocateur master who was as hard as himself.

Pei Xuan was at the trough of his life at that time, and felt that he was out of place with the whole world. He heard that the crown prince was very concerned about regulations and did not recognize others. He felt that he was quite polite to his own spleen and stomach, so he resigned and joined the guard camp of the Eastern Palace as a commoner, becoming one of the earliest military judges.

After the establishment of the Fifth Army Censorate and the Fifth Army Dali Temple, Pei Xuan naturally became the first inspector of the Fifth Army Censorate with this iron face.

With Pei Xuan's life experience, he did not have the habit of favoring military generals. He would not seek any fairness for the alien race, but if anyone dared to violate military orders, he would not be able to escape from him!

In the case of Mao Shi killing prisoners, the first military judge of the first battalion filed a pre-filing case with the Military Law Inspectorate of the Second Division, believing that the case was suspected of killing prisoners of war without killing. The inspection department agreed to file a case, and then set up a team of military judges to investigate. The investigation work was stagnant for a time because Mao Shi insisted that there was a high possibility of riots in the prisoners. If that was the case, killing prisoners would comply with the provisions of the Cao Dian.

However, more than ten days later, the military judge accidentally learned about the Beijing Jingguan incident. It happened that the number of prisoners in the Battle of Tucheng was about 5,000, so the military judge thus had an association: whether the heads in Beijing were the heads of the prisoners in Tucheng.

The Eastern Palace does not require the calculation of merit at the head level, but it does not mean that the corpses of the enemy can be buried in a hurry. Due to the needs of war history and health and epidemic prevention, if conditions permit, each enemy corpse has a counted lacquer mark, which will only be burned after a third-level inspection. Only enemy corpses during the battle can be burned on the spot, but data must also be retained as much as possible.

Furthermore, what is the concept of five thousand heads?

The so-called eight and a half kilograms of a head among the people. Let’s calculate it for this reason, 5,000 heads will cost 42,500 kilograms. If transported by a 500 kilogram chariot, eighty-five large trucks will be used. Each car is pulled by four pack horses, which means 340 horses.

Even in the Wanli and Longqing era, nearly 100 cars were rushing on the official roads, which was an extremely sensational thing, let alone the troubled times that are fighting now.

The so-called Tucheng is a sub-city built from Tianjin City to the port. From here to Fengtai area of ​​the Qing army, the official road is 300 miles away, and the folk dirt roads are closer, but there are 200 miles. With such a huge transportation volume, prisoners were killed from the fourth day of the lunar month and the piles were completed on the evening of the 14th. There was only ten days for transportation.

Today, when the capacity is insufficient, every horse is logged in. Where can I find so many horses to pick?

The most important thing is that we have to cross the Qing army's defense line. Are the whistle and horses and roads along the way blind?

Could it be that there is really a god to help?

Pei Xuan is a person who does not believe in gods and Buddhas. When he thinks about it carefully, he feels full of weirdness.

——Why do I have to think about those things? The focus of this case is to kill prisoners without authorization!

Pei Xuan straightened his body and began to ask Mao Shi from a different angle. He didn't believe that a colonel battalion officer was capable of making such a big move. After Cao Ning's sudden appearance, Mao Shi ordered the killing of prisoners. Among them, if the Second Division headquarters was really unaware of it, the fool would not believe it! He was going to capture Xiao Donglou and Cao Ning. These two people failed the trust of the crown prince, trampled on the dignity of the military law, and were unforgivable!

...

"Your Highness, these are all military orders of the last general." Xiao Donglou and Cao Ning stood straight in front of Zhu Cilang, looking straight, and there was a jumping fire in their eyes.

Zhu Cixuan arrived in Tianjin on the evening of the 22nd. At this moment, he had just finished dinner and summoned Xiao Donglou and Cao Ning. He heard the "Jingguan" miracle on the way and did not believe it very much. Either the Donglu exaggerated the words, or the spies on his side believed the rumors.

Five thousand heads, transporting two or three hundred miles is not that easy? Not to mention crossing the Fire. If this happens, then you should doubt whether this life is a documentary biography or a fantasy novel.

"You mean killing prisoners?" Zhu Cixuan was not surprised at all: even if Mao Shi killed prisoners without authorization, Xiao Donglou's heroic character would definitely jump out and take the blame for him.

"Killing prisoners and Jingguan are all secret orders of the last generals." Xiao Dong's corridor said.

"Jingguan? Jingguan with five thousand heads?" Zhu Cixuan's voice had a smile: "If you say it was a trick, I can still believe it."

Xiao Donglou touched his one-eye and scar, and smiled and said, "Yes, I can't hide it from your highness's Dharma eyes. In fact, it's basically fake."

Zhu Ciyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Cao Ning: "Is the military advisor's idea?"

Cao Ning quickly smiled and said, "In fact, it is true or false. Your Highness, there are some stories here, and we have to start with the Battle of Tucheng. And some details may be a little different from the submitted report. Please forgive me."

"If it's just a little bit of a small in and out, I can think about it." Zhu Cixuan pointed casually and said, "Sit down."

Xiao Dong said "As for orders" and sat down. Cao Ning was still standing and reported: "Your Highness, this battle is a battle between our division, the Jinyiwei and the Special Investigation Battalion. In order to keep it confidential, the tactical plan did not fall into words and did not exist in any archives."

According to the report, the Battle of Tucheng was an ordinary night attack. The Donglu suddenly attacked Tucheng with five thousand elite soldiers, broke through the city and was eventually surrounded and annihilated by the officers and soldiers of the heroic Second Division First Battalion.

It turns out there are other stories!
