Chapter 514: Besieging Fengyi County (XXII)

The precedent of such a sick ethos must never be started!

After figuring out the key links, the strategists kept silent and tacitly approved of Jiang Pengji’s way of punishing the trooper who had committed a crime.

Jiang Pengji said in a serious manner, “Punish him according to the military rules. Get the entire army to watch him being punished. He must be executed on the spot!”

Jiang Nonqin bowed and replied solemnly, “The lord is just. I’ll do what you say.”

The audience in the streaming room who witnessed the entire scene exploded. They really did not expect that this matter would be settled just like that.

Yanzhiniao: “Holy crap. I’m not mistaken, right? It’s really decided that the trooper is guilty?”

Fangxue Shangtiantai: “Can someone who studies law explain what kind of crime it is in our country?”

Baobao Longaotian: “Do you need me to explain the offense of rape in our country? The offense of rape refers to the act of going against the will of women and using violence, coercion or other means to have sexual intercourse with women by force. The rapists may also deliberately have sexual intercourse with young girls who are under 14 years old. This is an accurate definition of the rape offense provided by the criminal law of our country. Do you understand?”

Baobao Yeliangchen: “I understand. In other words, it is not considered a rape offense when women have sexual intercourses with men by force or when men rape men?”

Baobao Lishashen: “In theory it isn’t, but they’ve still committed a crime. It’s just that it can’t be counted as rape. As a dazzlingly beautiful guy, I suddenly feel that our country is very dangerous. Can I apply for immigration to Mars?”

Baobao Wangzhumo: “Streamer, I feel that you can really ascend to heaven. After your female battalion has grown stronger, you can consider setting up the Stay-at-home Men Protection Association. After all, your female troops are scary. What happens to the massive population of weak stay-at-home men if domestic violence occurs?”

Baobao Liuzhanxian: “Am I really watching an ancient streaming? The acceptance level of the streamer’s subordinates is really high.”

Jiang Pengji broke into laughter. It was not that their acceptance level was high, but they were clearly being careful beforehand so as not to give rise to language loopholes. Homosexuality was popular in the world nowadays. The troops were not allowed to have sex with common women, so they might have sex with men in order to vent their desires. Now a symptom had already appeared. If it was not kept under control, it would be difficult to recruit troops in the future. Who would dare to come forward?

Wei Ci and the others were just preventing people from exploiting the loopholes and damaging the social ethos. They were not protecting men’s rights. They thought things over with their own thinking which was very different from the thoughts of the audience in the streaming room.

At that moment, Jiang Nongqin got up and asked Jiang Pengji while deliberating her words, “Lord, do you remember a new recruit called Dian Yin?”

Dian Yin?

Everyone in the room was not completely unfamiliar with the name. After all, Dian Yin was either living in the military camp or in Wei Ci’s home.

Jiang Pengji replied, “Of course I do. I’ve even told Han Mei that Dian Yin can work for me once he has completed the training for the new recruits.”

Glancing at his lord, Wei Ci secretly thought that his lord and Dian Yin were really destined to have a monarch-minister relationship.

“What’s up with the new recruit?” she asked.

Jiang Nongqin revealed what she had seen. She said, “The trooper who committed the serious offense was caught by Dian Yin. When I saw him, more than 10 heads were hanging from his shoulders and waist. He’s very brave, so I think that he’s really a man of great potential.”

Jiang Pengji tapped the table with her fingers. She had originally intended to transfer Dian Yin to her side and train him properly when he had completed his training. He was born to become a general. With proper training, he would definitely become someone useful. Now that he had performed outstandingly in the battlefield… it was indeed time to promote him.

Thinking of that, Jiang Pengji said, “I’ll keep that in mind.”

She needed people in every position in order to conquer Chengan District.Now that Dian Yin had stepped forward, she would be really unworthy of her nickname ‘Jiang Bapi’ if she did not exploit a strong man’s labor force.

Although there was a general idea about the Order of Army Farming, it was not easy to implement it. Jiang Pengji planned to hand the matter over to Li Yun, Dian Yin, and Xu Ke. Li Yun was experienced in opening up wastelands for farming, so he was familiar with the industry. Dian Yin and Xu Ke would assist him.

During the discussion, a series of sonorous and forceful footsteps were heard.

Jiang Pengji knew who they were by listening to the footsteps. Were they not Meng Hun and Li Yun?

“Lord, I’ve failed in accomplishing the mission. I’m unable to capture all the chieftains of the Tsing Yi Army who have escaped,” Meng Hun apologized. Li Yun looked guilty as well. They dispatched some troops to pursue them but they were not as familiar with the terrain as the Tsing Yi Army was. Many chieftains managed to flee.

Wei Ci glanced at Jiang Pengji. She looked very calm. Her emotions could not be ascertained.

He asked Meng Hun, “Do you know where the rascals have escaped to?”

Meng Hun pondered and replied, “I think they’ve fled in the southwest direction.”

“Southwest?” Wei Ci frowned. The looks on Xu Ke and Qiguan Rang’s faces had also changed a little. “It looks like we’re going to be busy for a while.”

Maolin District was located in the southwest, which was also the Tsing Yi Army’s territory.

Now that they had conquered Chengan District and Xiangyang District, it meant that the two districts had separated Maolin District in the southwest and Jiaoping District in the northeast. Hence, the Tsing Yi Army in Fengyi County could not take care of everything and their armed forces could not be assembled in one place. It would be very easy to capture the districts.

There were four districts in Fengyi County, with Chengan District as the center. Maolin District was situated in the southwest, whereas Jiaoping District was located in the northeast. Xiangyang District which Jiang Pengji owned was bordered by those two districts and was situated in the southeast of Chengan District. According to the map, they had directly broken up the Tsing Yi Army in Fengyi County.

Be it in terms of strategy or deployment, the Tsing Yi Army had the motive to attack either Chengan District or Xiangyang District. If they attacked Chengan District, it would be tantamount to returning to square one. However, the Tsing Yi Army had ravaged Chengan District all winter long, leaving very few opportunities. Instead of attacking the dilapidated Chengan District, it was better to gather their armed forces to storm Xiangyang District!

Xiangyang District was the largest among the four districts in Fengyi County. Now, it was well-governed by Jiang Pengji, making it a rich district with plenty of products.

How could the Tsing Yi Army not be green with envy?

Taking advantage of the opportunity that the main armed forces were still in Chengan District, they were very likely to launch a sneak attack on Xiangyang District where the armed forces were weaker!

Xu Ke asked, “Lord, should we dispatch some reinforcements?”

Jiang Pengji suddenly sneered and said, “Why should we do that? We’ve left quite a number of troops there and the siege weapons used in the defense are more than sufficient. With Huaiyu and Luo Yue guarding the city, how big a possibility is there of losing the city?”

Fanning himself slowly, Qiguan Rang responded, “Are you thinking of…”

“We’ll let them have a taste of their own medicine!” Jiang Pengji squinted and a ray of maliciousness flashed across her eyes. “If they really dispatch their troops from Jiaoping District and Maolin District to launch a sneak attack on Xiangyang District, we’ll go the whole hog and divide our forces to destroy their nest!”

No one said a word.

Our lord is great!

Wei Ci chuckled helplessly. It seemed that he really could not restrain her from going to war in the future. The Tsing Yi Army had become her doormat because she had nowhere to vent her anger. Her idea was pretty good, but it was also more conservative. Launching a sneak attack on either Jiaoping District or Maolin District would do. She chose to divide her forces and attack the city, so as not to be stopped by her strategists.

The army would branch out into two flanks, one of which would be under her lead. The remaining troops would launch a sneak attack in another direction.
