When Deputy General Lin Rui heard that Qin Wu was arrested for violating military discipline, he was immediately angry and anxious, and rushed to the central army's tent.

Qin Wu and he grew up together and were his mother's adopted son. When they grew up, Lin Rui joined the army, but Qin Wu was idle and became a famous scoundrel in the village. Three years ago, Qin Wu's parents died, and he sold his hometown to join Lin Rui, who had been promoted to commander-in-chief.

In view of the fact that Lin Rui grew up together, he not only directly allowed him to serve as the Huochang, but also promoted him many times in three years, and was promoted to the capital in just three years.

After being promoted to an officer, Qin Wu did not use military discipline as a soldier, and was still full of ruffianism. He often caused trouble, bullied his subordinates and colleagues, and blackmailed merchants. He had a very bad reputation in the army, but he did not cause any major trouble and had a backstage, so everyone dared not speak out.

Qin Wu was called Sanhaodutou in Quanzhou. He was good at drinking, lustful and gambling. He signed up to go out to sea because he owed too much gambling debt and needed to go out to hide. Moreover, he knew that if he didn't follow Lin Rui, he would have been dealt with long ago.

Lin Rui hurried to the central army tent, and saw Qin Wu being stripped of his military uniform, tied his hands behind his back, kneeling outside the central army tent, without beating a board or any other punishment. He felt a chill in his heart, I'm afraid Di Qing was waiting for his arrival!

When he walked into the central army's tent, he saw Di Qing talking to Fan Ning. Lin Rui quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I will meet the general!"

Although Di Qing was excluded by civil servants and demoted to the sea, he was once a Privy Councilor and was at the same level as the prime minister. Lin Rui was just a fifth-rank guerrilla general. Although he is now a deputy general, he is really far from Di Qing in terms of official rank.

He, a fifth-rank general, could not even afford Fan Ning. Fan Ning was the censor of the surveillance and patrolled overseas with the sword of the emperor. He had no name for military supervision, but he had the right to supervise the military.

Di Qing saw him and asked directly: "Does General Lin know about Qin Wu robbing a civilian girl in a broad daylight and committing adultery?"

"I only heard that he violated military discipline, but I don't know the specific situation!"

Di Qing handed Lin Rui the indictment of the shopkeeper of Quanzhou restaurant and Qin Wu's confession. After Lin Rui finished reading it, sweat beads appeared on his forehead. He committed such a serious crime and was killed according to military rules, but how could he watch Qin Wu be killed?

He whispered for a while: "Qin Wu is indeed guilty, perhaps because he is far away from overseas and is too homesick."

He did not dare to plead openly, but pointed out that Qin Wu is currently serving the country overseas, which is to tactfully hope that Di Qing can be given a lighter punishment.

Fan Ning sneered beside him and said, "I don't quite understand General Lin's meaning. Does the way to miss homesickness is to rape a villain? Does he like to do such things in his hometown?"

Seeing Lin Rui speechless, Fan Ning continued: "There are thousands of soldiers in Kunzhou and Songma Island, but he is the only soldier who dares to rape the women. Is he the backstage that makes him so bold and reckless, and he is willing to test the military law with his own hands?"

Lin Rui's face turned pale in an instant. He heard Fan Ning's murderous words, and saw Fan Ning wearing the Emperor's Sword around his waist. He felt timid in his heart. He knew that he would say something more. The official hat on his head was hard to protect. He hurriedly said: "I dare not be a humble official. I support the severe punishment of military discipline!"

Di Qing nodded, "Since General Lin understands the righteousness, then punish him according to the military law, pass on my orders, and beat the drums and gather troops!"

‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’ The sound of war drums rumbled.

Lin Rui's legs became weak. Di Qing wanted to publicly kill Qin Wu, killing him to warn him, and using Qin Wu's head to warn the three armies.

Four thousand troops quickly gathered in line. They didn't know what had happened, and they all quietly discussed it. The generals shouted: "Quiet!"

The school field suddenly became quiet. On the front console, more than a dozen soldiers escorted a man with tied flowers. Judging from the military boots he was wearing, he should be a general. The soldiers standing in the front row recognized this person, Qin Wu, the famous gambler in the army.

This person has a very bad temper and scolds him if he doesn't like his wishes. It is even more common for bullying his subordinates. It is said that this person has a backstage. Although many people don't know him, almost no one sympathizes with him. As Sir Di loves soldiers as his son, if he hadn't seriously violated the military law, he would not have been tied up and punished publicly.

The law enforcement officer whispered: "Qin Wu, the head of the Fifth Battalion of the Second Army, forcibly robbed and raped a civilian woman, violated Article 8 of the military rules. In order to strictly enforce military discipline, he will be executed publicly!"

Qin Wu thought Lin Rui had a crush on him, but he just made a public beating. Unexpectedly, he was killed publicly. He was so scared that he was as limp as mud, incontinent, and shouted, but his throat was tightened by the rope and he couldn't shout.

Several soldiers pressed him to his knees, his hair was held, and thousands of eyes were staring at the scene on the school ground. A executioner raised his sword high and slashed with a 'Slash!'

A cold light flashed, blood splattered everywhere, and a head fell to the ground. Lin Rui, who was standing in the distance, felt sad, turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it again.

At this time, Di Qing walked up to him and raised Qin Wu's head high and shouted sternly: "In the Song Dynasty, my army's military laws are as good as a mountain. Now we are overseas. I ask that the military discipline be stricter. Anyone who dares to violate military laws will be severely punished. No matter who, even if I, Di Qing, violates military laws, I will still be severely punished. Qin Wu will be the end of breaking military laws!"

The three armies were in awe of fear and suddenly felt aroused. It was meaningless to preach in the army. Only by using blood and heads to warn the soldiers would be shocked by military law. Since ancient times, Qin Wu violated military law and became a typical example of killing one to warn a hundred. After killing him, I believe that the military discipline of the Kunzhou garrison has been strict since then.

Fan Ning left the military camp and returned to the government office. Xu Qing was really a little dissatisfied with Fan Ning. He whispered: "It can obviously stop Qin Wu from invading that little lady, but he wants Qin Wu to succeed and harm an innocent little lady."

"Did you say enough?"

Fan Ning turned around and glared at Xu Qing fiercely. Xu Qing didn't dare to say anything, but the dissatisfaction in his eyes was still hard to eliminate.

Fan Ning said slowly: "The tavern is provoking trouble, and according to military law, what's the point of hitting fifty military sticks? If you don't kill him, how can you intimidate the entire army? I believe that this head will be cut off, and the Kunzhou garrison will be strict from now on. This is to prepare for the large-scale population inflow next year."

Xu Qing sighed, "It just hurts the innocent!"

"At least Qin Wu did not succeed in his last step. He can only say that he failed to rape. Besides, I will compensate her."

Fan Ning said lightly: "She is allowed to join the Song Dynasty's nationality and compensate her for fifty taels of silver."

Xu Qing also knew that Fan Ning was considering the overall situation and the long-term. From Fan Ning's standpoint, this approach was understandable, but he felt guilty that he could not stop Qin Wu from doing evil in time.

"Little official, I want to have a drink!"

"You go!"

Xu Qing speeded up and walked towards the restaurant. At this time, Fan Ning remembered something and turned around and walked towards the firearm camp.

The Firearms Battalion is right next to the military camp, which is actually part of the military camp, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres, consisting of more than a dozen large tents and an iron smelting shed. Currently, there are thirteen craftsmen in the camp, plus one Si Cheng who manages schedule affairs, a total of fourteen people.

The three people added were mainly three highly skilled blacksmiths. As early as a month ago, the granular gunpowder had been successfully made, but the iron shell was very difficult to make. If it was thicker, the gunpowder could not be blown up, and if it was thinner, the gunpowder would burst before it was fully burned.

There is also a lot of size and size. How much gunpowder can explode the iron shell, so it takes repeated experiments, summarizing experience, recording data, and conducting hundreds or thousands of tests before finding the best solution.

It is precisely because it is too difficult to build a shell that Fanning has added three more skilled blacksmiths to participate. These days are the critical moments. He has been away for five or six days, and I don’t know if there are any results?

There were four soldiers standing guard at the gate of the firearm camp, and were on high alert. Fanning took out the silver pass sign for the soldiers to see, and then walked in directly.

So far, only Fanning and Di Qing have silver pass cards, and the other thirteen craftsmen and Si Cheng have bronze pass cards. Except for the sixteen of them, anyone who wants to enter the firearm battalion must have a pass order signed by Fanning. Even Di Qing does not have this signature authority.

As soon as Fan Ning walked into the tent, Song Laojiang came out after hearing the news. Seeing that he was full of joy, Fan Ning knew that there was a result and smiled and said, "Is there any good news to tell me?"

"We have reported to the Censor, and the iron shell has been made. We have already tried it outside the city the day before yesterday. It was completely successful. Now we are still one step away."
