C3442 whipping (1/2)

Since the head of the Chinese army led an expedition to Europa to fight the Franco-Prussian War, there has been a brief pacification in Asia, with all the powers retracted and all the armies of the countries redeployed.

This was a rare opportunity for peaceful development in Asia, especially in the South Sea where the Great Qing Dynasty had not received an urgent report in a long time!

The sudden news woke Ma Ming and the rest up from their slumber. Although they did not know what had happened, they knew that they had to calm down.

Ma Ming jumped onto the wooden tower that was on duty and shouted, ”Brothers, I, Ma Ming, have promised everyone that I will gather a batch of food and distribute it to everyone in three days …”

”Not an only son. We still have brothers who eat at home, so I'll keep an account for all of you. In any case, you won't be hungry in the camp …”

”With the limited amount of food, we can first split it among those brothers who have problems with their families … ”I guarantee that everyone will have at least a bag of rice, ten catties of cured meat, and a pot of oil by then …”

”After we disperse today, we will use the class as a group to do the statistics. We will negotiate with each other to see who will not be able to cook. We will give our brothers some rations to split …”

”Don't worry... The Emperor is coming back... The issue of military pay was easy to settle! Do you believe me, brothers? I, Ma Ming, am also a good man who can run horses on my arm.

”If I don't pay, I can sell my family's ancestors and make up for the losses of my brothers …” Do you believe me? ”

These soldiers had all been slowly selected by the personal guards of the three hundred Empyreans. These soldiers had all been slowly trained and trained by the personal guards of the Empyrean God Clan. These soldiers were their immediate subordinates.

The rest of the comrades with better families also spoke up, ”That's right, it's about time. When the class is having a meeting later, we'll help you gather some money, and you'll have to get through the tough New Year as well …”

The officer promised, his comrades would persuade him, and the base level Queue length would step in to coordinate with him.

As the camp's gates gradually began to disperse, the three treasures spoke out, ”You are all soldiers of the Son of Heaven's Guards. You all understand the principle of military law as great as the heavens …”

”Today, you all have been in violation of the military rules. Fortunately, you did not take action. Otherwise, you all would have been shot to death!”

”What is it? You want to take the grain and leave? ”

The squad Queue length who was leading the way immediately turned around and saluted: ”Sir!” We'll remember the rules in our hearts, we won't forget them... According to the rules of the imperial guards, anyone who stirred up trouble was to be sentenced to twenty lashes for the first time and to three days in prison … Once again, we have committed a crime and expelled the military camp! ”

”Brothers, we were forced to cause such a huge ruckus for a mouthful of food from my mother! But military law cannot be abrogated, and since the governor has promised food... Then come out and receive your punishment! ”

”Yes sir!” With a loud clap of thunder, the three to four hundred soldiers that had barged in immediately saluted and turned around to take off their military uniforms.

The four hundred sturdy mountaineers, all of their bronze tendons and flesh were like lump of iron. They stood in a square formation in the barracks, receiving their punishment together!

In this era, corporal punishment was still very popular among the military. Whether it was the Chinese New Army or the Prussian Iron Army, all the armies in the English and French and the United States had corporal punishment.

Whip punishment was a very common type, but suddenly four hundred people were beaten up. It was too spectacular, even the Mawei Shipyard in the distance were in a commotion, causing many of the Western Engineers to look unwilling to do so.

”Oh, God! ”Those soldiers just want their own military pay, not rebellion. Isn't it a little too harsh to take a beating like this …”
