    It was still dark the next day, and it was the darkest time before dawn. The north and east gates of Changsha City had been opened. Two groups of Taiping troops marched out of the city under the cover of night and quietly disappeared under the thick night.  Among the Taiping troops on the North Road were dozens of packhorse carts, which were covered with straw mats and had dark muzzles exposed at the front.  Under the bright light of the blazing torch, I saw the faces of the Taiping Army officers and soldiers were full of determination and coldness, and their bodies exuded a strong sense of murder. Xiao Yungui was shocked in his heart, and he murmured to himself: "  It turns out that this is what it feels like to send someone to death"

    More than a thousand Taiping soldiers filed out of the city, all wearing yellow vest uniforms with white edges. This is a special mark that only the soldiers and horses of the King of the West have.  The six righteous kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom all wore different uniforms when deploying their troops and horses. The subordinates of the Heavenly King wore full yellow vests without piping; the subordinates of the Eastern King wore yellow vests with green piping; the subordinates of the Western King wore yellow vests with white piping; the subordinates of the Southern King wore yellow vests with white piping.  Yellow vests with red piping; Bei Wang's subordinates, yellow vests with black piping; King Yi's subordinates, yellow vests with blue piping; the other soldiers and horses all wear red vests with yellow or green piping variegated uniforms, so  In the Taiping Army, you can tell who is your subordinate by just looking at their uniforms.

    Xiao Yungui watched Li Kaifang disappear into the night at the top of the city. Then he went down to the city. Then he and Zeng Shuiyuan and others went to the government office in the south of the city. He wanted to see with his own eyes the money donated yesterday.

    Everyone rode their horses to the front of the Yacang, and saw several Taiping New Army soldiers guarding the Yacang sleeping soundly in the shed. Zeng Shuiyuan was furious when he saw it, and after giving the order, the card swordsman who followed him stepped forward and arrested a few of them.  come out.

    Several new soldiers were pushed to the ground, and they woke up as if from a dream. When they looked up, they saw Xiao Yungui, Zeng Shuiyuan and others, and they couldn't help but be scared to death.

    Zeng Shuiyuan dismounted and walked forward and cursed: "I asked you to guard the office, but you guys are sleeping here?! What if a demon or a traitor comes to set fire?! These rice grains are very important.  Don¡¯t you want to die?! I told you before that you used to be the Heaven and Earth Society, so I couldn¡¯t control it, but now you are the Taiping Holy Soldiers! Get rid of those gangster habits of yours.  Do you think what I said is fart?!"

    Many of the Pai Dao players who came with them were new members of the Tiandihui. Zeng Shuiyuan's scolding made everyone's faces look angry, but Zeng Shuiyuan was a general in the army, so everyone just dared to be angry and dared not say anything.  .

    Xiao Yungui frowned. What Zeng Shuiyuan said was too unpleasant. Whoever made a mistake would be punished. What would he do if he got involved in the world?  At that moment, Xiao Yungui also got off his horse, stepped forward and said warmly: "Guard Zeng, you can punish whoever makes a mistake. There is no need to mention anything else."

    Zeng Shuiyuan seemed to be confused. He pointed at the people kneeling on the ground and said, "King Xi, you don't know how many violations of military regulations I have dealt with since entering the city, either secretly or secretly."  They gather for gambling, either hide food secretly, or fight with each other, and their own people beat their own people. What is the difference between these people wearing red scarves on their heads and those Qingyao Green Camp soldiers?! They are just a bunch of bandits from a fucking gang!"

    Zeng Shuiyuan said something too much. Among the soldiers, the original members of the Heaven and Earth congregation started to make noises. Zeng Shuiyuan yelled angrily: "You still dare to talk back?! Are you still the Taiping Holy Soldiers?!"

    Xiao Yungui's face became hesitant. If he didn't say anything, he would cause a disaster. He shouted loudly: "That's enough!" This sound was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the sound shook all directions, and everyone was startled.  Everything fell silent for a moment.

    Xiao Yungui looked at everyone with a sullen face. All the soldiers were worried and uneasy. Xiao Yungui walked past each soldier, his sharp eyes making the new army soldiers lower their heads.

    "I told you before you joined Taiping that from now on, you are no longer stragglers or ordinary people. You are the holy soldiers of the kingdom of heaven. There are military laws in the army, and everyone must obey them!" Xiao Yungui  As he walked, he said loudly: "If you can't control yourselves, you have to ask the military law to control you! The reason why we are different from Qingyao is that our Taiping Holy Soldiers have strict military discipline! Those who made the noise just now, please stand up!"

    All the new soldiers lowered their heads, but no one dared to stand up. Xiao Yungui shouted sternly: "Where are you brave enough to make a noise just now? Are you still a man in charge? Don't you dare to stand up?!"

    After a few words, several Taiping New Army soldiers who had just been making noise stood up. Xiao Yungui snorted and said: "You are still a man." He turned to look at Zeng Shuiyuan and said: "It's okay to contradict the superior officer or sleep on duty.  How to deal with it?¡±

    Zeng Shuiyuan replied: "Anyone who contradicts a superior officer should be beaten with eighty military sticks, and someone who is sleeping on duty should be beaten with two hundred military sticks."

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "Military discipline must not be neglected, and it must be dealt with according to military discipline." He then glanced at Zeng Shuiyuan and said: "Guard Zeng, just now you made an inappropriate statement. You are also the governor of the Yacang. Your subordinates made mistakes and neglected their duties.  What crime do you deserve?"

      Zeng Shuiyuan was startled, and he clasped his fists in frustration and said: "It's also two hundred military sticks. I know my mistake and I am willing to accept the punishment."

    Xiao Yungui hummed, looked at everyone and said slowly: "Did you see it? What I want is this kind of iron-clad military rules and regulations!" Then he took a breath and said: "I have neglected to discipline you these days.  , it is also my duty to give myselfone hundred military sticks!" He originally wanted to say two hundred military sticks, but he was really afraid of pain, so he changed his mind and said he would hit himself with one hundred military sticks.

    As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "King Xi, we made the mistake and we are willing to be punished." "King Xi, we can't do this. We will not dare to violate military regulations in the future."  "King Xi, please take back your life."

    Xiao Yungui shook his head and said: "No, my military discipline treats everyone equally, and there is no distinction between relatives and strangers. There is no such thing as old people or newcomers. Everyone in the army must work together as one, and we are all brothers in the same robe."  , there can be no barriers! I will punish you even if I make a mistake!"

    Everyone tried to persuade him several times, but Xiao Yungui just refused. Under strict orders, Xiao Yungui, Zeng Shuiyuan and a group of New Army soldiers who had made mistakes received the military sticks together in front of the Yacang.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ª Xiao Yungui's rough skin and thick flesh almost made him unable to get up, while Zeng Shuiyuan couldn't get up at all.

    After the beating, Xiao Yungui endured the pain and stood up reluctantly, but saw the faces of the new soldiers with expressions of reverence on their faces. He knew that his plan of suffering was accomplished, and a disaster was finally eliminated.

    In the past few days, Xiao Yungui has heard many discordant remarks, saying that the Tiandi Congregation and the Pao Ge Congregation of the Taiping New Army have too strong gang habits and often disobey military disciplines and are disorganized.  These people have only been in the Taiping Army for a short period of time. They have been marching and fighting all the time. It is better when they don't have much free time. These people are a little restrained.  But after entering the city, they have more free time, and the habits these people have developed for a long time have returned to their old habits. They have always been among the people and have been common people for a long time. How can they change their free and loose habits in a short time?

    Lao Changmao in the Taiping Army couldn't stand the behavior of these people. In addition, most of the two groups were from Guangxi and Hunan. The two groups gradually became discordant. Many Taiping Lao Changmao generals executed  The New Army believed that military discipline was aimed at them, and the relationship between the two sides became increasingly tense.

    Xiao Yungui also knew that twisting the two gangs together could not be achieved overnight. When this happened, Zeng Shuiyuan scolded him in person and even brought out the Tiandihui. Xiao Yungui had to stop him in a hurry and tried his best to suffer the consequences  A slap in the face resolved the dissatisfaction of the Taiping New Army. He must not take sides, otherwise things would become unmanageable, so he beat people on both sides.

    After the extremely noble King Xi was punished in public, the Taiping New Army was really moved. They had never seen a leader beating them, and King Xi also beat Zeng Shuiyuan, and their doubts were immediately dissipated.
