"Aye... Aye."
"Aye."
Everyone kept saying, fearing Ye Shikai would again take their heads to make an example. Ye Shikai had traversed to this era from nowhere, and among these generals, just by experience, he could only count as a minor and obscure figure, having been enlisted for less than two years. If counted from when he joined the uprising army, it had only been a few months, and many soldiers had even served for several years. Mi Wen appointing him as commander predictably caused dissatisfaction among these generals—it was inevitable. This was Mi Wen's first challenge to him: how to "manage" these people.
Fortunately, Ye Shikai overcame this challenge. Through this act of execution to assert power, although he couldn't ensure these generals were sincerely convinced, at least they dared not act recklessly anymore, especially since Ye Shikai held the power over life and death. If they were to be insubordinate, they risked losing their heads.
