Chapter 396 Deserters Appear
Amid shouts of injustice, more than a dozen patrol soldiers were pushed out of the commander's tent and beheaded on the spot!
During this period, Zhenhai General Jin Yanhuan frowned and seemed to be thinking deeply about something. Just when he suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly to save people under the sword, it was already a step too late!
More than a dozen bloody human heads were placed there. Zhenhai General Jin Yanhuan's eyes turned red on the spot, but he could only hold back his tears and glared angrily at the generals who came to the Zhenhai Regiment to question them.
"The murderer has been killed! We don't need to stay here for a long time, so we can say goodbye. I hope General Zhenhai can control his subordinates and prevent things like today from happening again!"
"That's right! That's it for this time. I hope everyone can put the overall situation first and don't let people from the Haotian Empire take advantage of the loophole!"
"Just say goodbye!"
Seeing that the matter had been successfully concluded, all the army generals and deputy generals left the table one after another, said goodbye and left, leaving only the angry-browed General Zhenhai and a group of angry trusted generals in the handsome tent!
"ah!!!"
Jin Yanhuan roared suddenly, waved his hand and swept everything on the commander's seat to the ground. All the generals of the Zhenhai Regiment present looked at him in astonishment. They had never seen such a gentle general send such a big blow. temper!
"General! What's wrong with you?! We were indeed at fault for what happened this time! And we were caught in the act, so you don't need to blame yourself!"
"That's right! The general is not to blame for this! You really don't need to blame yourself so much!"
"..."
Immediately, several generals spoke to comfort each other. Unfortunately, their words made Zhenhai General Jin Yanhuan's face look even more ugly. He was in trouble now and couldn't express it!
In the past few days, he had been running around for injuries, not only working hard, but also adding a lot of cowardice, which made the always wise General Zhenhai restless, which led him to make an unforgivable mistake today!
It's a pity that the big mistake has been made. It's too late to regret it. I'm afraid I can only make the mistake wrong. Even the most trusted subordinates can't reveal a word. This makes Jin Yanhuan's anger reach the extreme!
"My general order! All officers of the Zhenhai Regiment no longer need to patrol the streets. The two major military camps of the Zhenhai Regiment are all closed and no one is allowed to enter or exit the camp at will. Anyone who must enter or leave the camp for official duties must at least have a warrant from a general at the level of deputy general. Release!" Jin Yanhuan finally issued the order to close the camp.
With such a formal order, no one among the trusted generals dared to disobey the order. Otherwise, the crime would be serious!
What's more, after seeing the general being so angry, no one dared to speak out against it!
As time passed, the commander of the Zhenhai Regiment issued an order to close the camp. The soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment who originally appeared in groups patrolling the streets and alleys were no longer seen. For a time, the officers and soldiers of all the major legions in the capital regarded this as an incident. Big thing to talk about!
There is a saying among the soldiers of various legions that General Zhenhai accidentally killed his innocent patrol members. In order to avoid the situation from escalating, he had to issue a closing order!
This news spread like a plague among the people of the major legions, and soon spread into the Zhenhai Corps camp!
"Hey! Have you all heard about it? It is widely rumored that the witnesses were too confused to see who the murderer was, and instead casually identified a patrol team that looked somewhat similar in our camp. And then framed!"
"Did you see that?! I have already said that Zhang Daniu and the others are innocent! After the murder occurred in that tavern, I saw with my own eyes that Daniu led his team to the tavern. At that time, he was still spotless. There was no way he was... It looks like he just killed a dozen people, and there’s not even a trace of blood on it!”
"That's right! I also saw Zhang Daniu and his group at the scene. Poor Daniu had finally reached the Qihai level in cultivation. He was thinking about relying on his martial arts to fight for the empire. He never thought that he would not die on the battlefield, but Die under the butcher's knife of one of your own!"
"Oh my god! It's really our general who killed Daniel's team by mistake? No wonder, my cousin, the deputy general, said that shortly after the execution, the general shouted to save people under the knife, but it was a pity that it was still a step too late!"
"If this is true, then what has happened to our navy? We haven't received justice for the harm we suffered the first time, but this time, we were actually framed and framed again?!"
"..."
As similar news continued to spread in the camp of the Zhenhai Regiment, many of the soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to the headquarters of the camp together, hoping to find Jin Yanhuan for an explanation!
It's a pity that he came to nothing at the commander's tent. According to the guard in charge of the commander's tent, General Zhenhai did not come to the camp in the past two days, but worked in Prince Yu's mansion!
Therefore, the soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment waited outside the commander's tent, preparing to wait for Jin Yanhuan to come back before asking how to solve the matter. Unexpectedly, they would not see anyone for two days.
The officers and soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment, who originally had some illusions, finally couldn't bear it anymore. They gathered tens of thousands of people and rushed out of the camp together, heading straight for General Zhenhai's Prince Yu's Mansion!
In Prince Yu's palace, Zhenhai General Jin Yanhuan was pacing back and forth restlessly. Soon, a servant came to report that a large number of soldiers from the Zhenhai Regiment came outside the palace, saying they wanted to see him!
In the living room, Jin Yanhuan was like an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to do!
If you admit that you accidentally killed a patrol member of your subordinates, you must find evidence that those people framed them. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public and you will not be able to explain to your subordinates!
But to find the evidence that those people framed his subordinates, there was still some hope if they hadn't been killed, but now, there is no evidence at all!
"Alas! That's all, now that things are happening, for the sake of the overall situation, we have to make mistakes!" After Jin Yanhuan sighed, he finally made a decision!
Outside the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, countless soldiers from the Zhenhai Regiment finally waited for their leader, Jin Yanhuan, and they all knelt on the ground in front of many people in the capital.
"General! The officers and men of our earthquake navy regiment can be convicted and executed without sufficient evidence. However, after our people were killed, they could not be solved for a long time because they had no evidence. Could it be said that we Are the soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment inherently inferior to others?!"
"That's right! The general said at the beginning that he wanted to avenge the brothers who died. Unexpectedly, the old hatred has not been avenged, but new hatred has been added! I hope the general can tell the brothers the truth!"
"We need to know the truth, we need to know the truth!"
Countless officers and soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment roared the same words loudly, and then they all became quiet and knelt there quietly waiting for Jin Yanhuan's reply!
"Commanders of the Zhenhai Regiment! To be honest, I am more sad than you when my soldiers are killed. They are all our brothers who live and die. I, Jin Yanhuan, died so unexplainably and tragically on the street. I, Jin Yanhuan, am also furious. ! Unfortunately, the scene was too chaotic at the time, and there was no way to prove who was the murderer!"
"Also, the recent rumors that our general accidentally killed his subordinates are definitely a conspiracy set up by people from the Haotian Empire. The purpose is very clear to everyone. It is nothing more than to incite civil strife in us. Therefore, everyone must not believe the rumors easily, otherwise You will definitely fall into the tricks of that insidious boy Du Long!"
Regarding Jin Yanhuan's answer, all the generals present obviously could not accept it. One of his subordinates was killed, and he could evade it just because of insufficient evidence. Even if the other party's people died, even if there was insufficient evidence, the patrol team of the Zhenhai Regiment could be killed en masse!
"General! We cannot accept your answer! When there is insufficient evidence, they can convict our brothers by just pulling in a few witnesses. But what about us? People were killed, but they were let go on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence. Are those murderers?!" Immediately some of the officers and soldiers of the Zhenhai Marine Corps refused to accept it.
"That's right! I'm not convinced, the people from the other legions are really bullying me!"
"..."
Some people took the lead, and the rest followed suit. They all expressed their dissatisfaction with the result and hoped that General Zhenhai could redress the grievances of his subordinates and so on!
Facing the angry officers and soldiers, Jin Yanhuan could only explain loudly: "Soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment! Everyone must remember that our real enemy is not the soldiers of the friendly forces, but the two million people outside the city. Army! Therefore, for the sake of the survival of the Blue Moon Empire and for the sake of the overall situation, Yan Huan hereby implores everyone, can we solve these problems after the Haotian Army is driven away?!"
Faced with the bitter plea of Zhenhai General Jin Yanhuan, what can the many soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment do? I can only leave Prince Yu's Mansion with disappointment and leave this sad place!
Just as these people were leaving, thousands of people took off their military uniforms together, walked out of the south gate, and left the capital without looking back!
For many people, they came to the capital full of enthusiasm to help the empire defend against foreign enemies. Unexpectedly, they encountered various unfair treatments one after another in the capital. In addition, the new emperor was succeeded by the sinister and cruel King Xin. , and being humiliated one after another in the Zhenhai Regiment, which repeatedly hurt the hearts of these volunteers!
Therefore, on the day they left Prince Yu's Mansion, thousands of people never returned to the camp in the west of the city to suffer from the cowardice, and directly became deserters by taking advantage of the wide opening of the south gate!
Some people fled the capital, and some chose to stay. However, the conflicts between the Zhenhai Legion and other legions, instead of declining, began to get more and more intense!
Sometimes, soldiers of the Royal Guards were assassinated by a group of masked men in black clothes while patrolling at night. Then, another group of soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment were also killed in a sneak attack near the camp!
Although they knew that the enemy might be inciting discord, the hatred between the two parties became deeper and deeper, and there was a faint tendency to get out of control!
Since both parties had no direct evidence, all of this was done in secret, and they were concealed from their respective superiors. Therefore, it did not cause much turmoil!
However, after a master of the Zhenhai Regiment failed to assassinate and fell into a trap and was captured, the Zhenhai Regiment once again appeared on the forefront of the storm. The major legions once again issued extremely severe protests to the Zhenhai Regiment!
Because this time everyone got the stolen goods, General Zhenhai had no excuse to defend his men. He could only reluctantly order all these people to be beheaded as a warning to others!
His approach was not only unacceptable to the new volunteers within the Zhenhai Regiment, but even the veterans within the Zhenhai Regiment could not accept the result!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are casualties on both sides, so why is it always the Zhenhai Regiment's fault? !
As the Zhenhai Regiment became more and more disappointed with the general, more and more soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment began to choose to flee the capital, unwilling to continue to suffer the indignity here!
It would be easier to work for such an unfair country than to go home, marry a wife, have children, and reunite with your family. It doesn’t matter who is the emperor of this empire, as long as you live a good life!
As a result, there was a trend of desertion within the Zhenhai Regiment. It did not attract much attention at first. After all, the volunteers chose to flee. That was their right and freedom. They were different from the regular Zhenhai Regiment officers. Just some new recruits composed of ordinary people!
As time went by, and the phenomenon of desertion became more and more serious, the senior leaders of the Zhenhai Regiment began to take it seriously and began to close the camp again and strictly control the soldiers' entry and exit from the camp!
It's a pity that for a legion whose military morale has been shaken, even if it can retain its people, it can't retain its hearts. This stubborn melon can't be sweetened!
In the Haotian camp, Du Long finally issued a new general order, which was to make all armies prepare for a general attack on the capital of the Blue Moon Empire in the near future!
