Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 147 Ideal, Supervision, Name (14)

"Master Jun, save some for the little old man! The grandson at home still needs to eat!"

In front of a private house, a white-haired old man hugged a soldier's right leg, pleading bitterly.The soldier held a few strings of copper plates in his hand, and his face was full of impatience. He kicked the old man away and cursed: "Go away! Be careful that I will cut you!"

The soldiers walked out cursing, and within a few steps, they saw a few Xiliang cavalry standing in front of them with expressionless faces.

The soldier's heart skipped a beat, but he still forced a smile on his face. He walked over and handed over the copper coins: "Come on brothers, everyone who sees has a share, let's share."

Before he could finish his sentence, several Xiliang cavalry struck him immediately, knocked him to the ground, and then tied him up with chains.

"Oh! This is, what are you doing!"

The soldiers struggled, but to no avail.

He said angrily: "Everyone is Bei'an Army, why are you arresting me!"

A Xiliang iron cavalry said: "My lord has strictly ordered that the Bei'an army is not allowed to burn, kill and loot the people after they enter Beijing. You have violated the law set by your lord, and you will be arrested and severely punished."

Hearing this, the soldier was greatly unconvinced.

He is a Qingzhou soldier. He had been in the Qingzhou Corps for a few years, and he had never heard of the rules that no burning, killing and looting should be allowed after breaking the city.
He retorted: "I just robbed some coins, and didn't kill anyone! Let me go!"

The Xiliang soldiers tied him honestly and took him away. He was still yelling, "Why are you arresting me! I also made great efforts to attack the city, and I want to see the prince! How could the prince treat us like this! "

The Qingzhou soldier yelled all the way, and was quickly taken to an open-air square. There were already hundreds of people here, all chained up, cursing and swearing, no doubt they all committed the same thing as him.

"We also have a share of the credit for breaking the city, so why arrest us!"

"That's right, didn't you just rob something? What's the matter? My good brother died in the siege battle!"

"The prince unloads the mill and kills the donkey!"

"Hmph, it's not because we are not the direct descendants of the prince, our Qingzhou soldiers are all raised by stepmothers!"

The crowd continued to yell, and after a while, Su Yuan came.

These Qingzhou soldiers who had been clamoring to see Su Yuan all the time, when Su Yuan really came, they all shrank their heads like ostriches, trembling, and they were completely different from the previous appearance.

Although Su Yuan was young, his majesty had already been cultivated in all battles, and now he just stood in front of him with a blank face, which brought great psychological pressure to everyone.

Su Yuan glanced around the crowd, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Seeing you makes me very sad now."

"Most of you are from poor people. You should remember clearly how those officials and rich people bullied you in the past. But what is the difference between what you are doing now and those who bullied you before?"

Su Yuan's words made everyone feel ashamed and bowed their heads in silence.

"We Bei'an Army will never bully the common people, because we should have only one ideal, which is to make the world a better place, so that bullying and oppression will no longer appear in this land. Think for yourself, what you have done is in line with Is it our ideal?"

"What ideal is not ideal!" A Qingzhou soldier mustered up his courage and said loudly, "I just want to get more money! Can't it!"

Su Yuan looked at the man: "Who won't allow you to get money? You can earn money if you want, farming and doing business, is anyone stopping you? But what are you doing? You go to rob, that's how you get money Methods?"

"I—those officials and lords used to do the same thing when they were soldiers and won battles!"

"They are them, and we are us. This kind of thing will never be allowed to happen in the Bei'an Army. I will stop here. No matter whether you sincerely repent or not, punishment will be inevitable, so you can do it yourself."

Su Yuan left after speaking, he was still angry.

Originally, there was a lot of things to deal with in the capital, but in the end, a group of Bei'an soldiers were making trouble and looting.For this reason, he had to send a large number of summoned soldiers to watch and arrest all soldiers who violated the law.

But he also knows that this is a kind of inertia.

In the past, after the soldiers fought siege battles, after entering the city, they would burn, kill and loot all kinds of things to vent their anger. Many generals encouraged the soldiers to do so, and even used this practice as a reward for the soldiers after they broke the city, so that the soldiers would be more motivated. The determination and motivation to attack the city.

This is indeed effective to a certain extent, but the consequences are very serious, which is a typical drinking poison to quench thirst.

Su Yuan will definitely not allow this kind of behavior to happen in his army, so if he finds one, he will be arrested and severely punished, and there will be absolutely no connivance in the slightest.

After dealing with the matter here, there are still many troublesome things.

One of them was the rebuilding of the capital. If the fire last night only destroyed the palace, it would be fine.But the problem is, in order to leave the most dilapidated capital, those wolf-hearted things burned many houses, shops, and warehouses.

It can be said that almost half of the inner city was burned clean.This is because a large number of soldiers from the Bei'an Army put out the fire in time. Otherwise, if the fire is allowed to spread, it is estimated that the entire inner city will be in ruins by now, and the casualties of the people will at least reach six figures.

Now the reconstruction of the inner city is very important. There is no shortage of materials and money.Some of the princes and nobles ran away and captured some, but most of their belongings remained.A lot of them were burnt down, but there are also a lot left.

These properties will naturally be confiscated and used for the reconstruction of the inner city.But money alone is not enough. Reconstruction requires a lot of labor. This cannot be done by soldiers alone, especially since the current situation of the war is not yet completely stable.

You know, Qinzhou soldiers have already arrived in Xuzhou, who knows if they will come to invade the capital again?Although Su Yuan believed that Qinzhou's soldiers would retreat after he had captured the capital, he still had to defend and mobilized a large number of soldiers for defense.

After discussing with Zhou Shu, he decided to recruit a large number of people to do the reconstruction work.Especially the people whose houses were burned down, they have no shelter, no income, and now they need a job to make ends meet.

In addition, Su Yuan, who was extremely busy, also edited a book and sent it to Taiyuan urgently.He wanted Lu Wuyou to come over to help and manage the capital with him.

As for Taiyuan, it has been completely stabilized now, and many newly promoted officials have done a good job. They are clean and honest, and are deeply loved by the people.

Although these officials are real people, Su Yuan is not worried that they will follow the old path of corruption.

There are two reasons. One is that he treated these officials very well.

In the past, some corrupt officials in the imperial court were actually not corrupt at the beginning, and they were also honest officials, but as they worked, they found that it was difficult to support their families with the little salary of the imperial court.Looking at the rich clothes, fine food, and mansions of other officials, if they cannot withstand the temptation for a while, they will easily slip into the abyss.

But the treatment that Su Yuan gave them now, the rich and the rich certainly didn't have it, but they could still be satisfied without worrying about food and clothing.This at least guarantees the dignity of life, so that the probability of corruption is reduced.

The second, and most important, is the monitoring mechanism.

Corruption cannot be eradicated only by good treatment.Because there is a side of human nature that loves to compare and love vanity, even if you don’t have to worry about food and clothing, you may want to live in a bigger house, wear better clothes, and eat delicious feasts made by famous chefs every day... In this way, you will A desire to be greedy for ink arises.

At this time, the supervision mechanism comes in handy. Power must be locked in a cage, and the supervision mechanism is this cage.

In previous dynasties, this kind of system also existed, but often the supervisors and officials would collude and collude in corruption, resulting in the supervisory mechanism being useless.

But it's different now, because the inspectors set up by Su Yuan don't have real people, they are all summoning soldiers.

The summoned soldiers don't know what it means to be in the same boat, they only know how to obey orders, so they are perfectly qualified for the monitoring role.They cannot be bought, and with them as supervisors, even if some officials want to embezzle, they have no chance, or dare not.

For this reason, Su Yuan deliberately recalled a large number of Jinyiwei. They are quick-witted, quick-witted, and pay great attention to details. They are very suitable candidates to be inspectors.

In this way, regional governance will be in a healthy cycle.However, Su Yuan himself often reminded himself that the biggest key point still lies in him, the master who summons soldiers.

If he gets corrupted, it's all over.So all along, he also deliberately maintained a simple life.And because of the long-term practice of bigu kung fu, he has almost lost his appetite.In terms of beauty, he has been as indistinct as a fairy for a long time, and he is almost indifferent to the little beauties in the eyes of ordinary people.

Before rebuilding, however, there is one more important thing to do.

……

Heaven Prison.

In the dark and humid environment, Lu Guang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was restless, full of anxiety and fear.

He paced back and forth in the cell, looking out from the cell door from time to time, not knowing what he was expecting.Some officials in the cell with him are trying to persuade him.

"Lu Shangshu, sit down for a while, it won't help if you keep spinning around like this."

"Yes, who is to blame us for being unlucky! It's our boat that sank!"

"Ugh……"

Everyone heaved and sighed, they were all the people who were sitting on the boat whose bottom was leaked by the crossbow gun before, and they couldn't escape.After the bottom of the ship leaked, they were in the sea with no way to go to heaven or earth, so they had to be honestly captured by the Bei'an army.

After they were captured, the Bei'an army threw them into the sky prison, and it is not yet known how they will be dealt with afterwards.But everyone knew very well that Su Yuan would not spare them lightly.

"We must not sit still and wait for death!" Compared with some people who gave up in despair, Lu Guang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was particularly determined. He said to the crowd, "Everyone, we must show our value! Let him Su Yuan not be willing to kill us!"

"Value... what value?"

"In fact, I have a secret underground warehouse in the capital, where I store some gold... If I give it all to Su Yuan, I wonder if he can spare my life..."

As soon as the speaker finished speaking, Lu Guangbai gave him a look and sneered.

"What time is it, and you are still talking about gold and silver. If Su Yuan is a greedy person, how can we have today?"

"...that's true."

"Lu Shangshu, what's your idea, please tell me."

Seeing that Lu Guang seemed to have an idea, everyone focused on him.

Now that disaster is imminent, even if these people are smart people, they will inevitably go to the doctor in a hurry, trying to find a way to survive.

Lu Guangdao: "I have no idea. But I know that if you want to survive, you have to help Su Yuan! Let him know that keeping us is better than killing us, so that he will consider keeping us."

After speaking, he went to the prison door and shouted: "Jailor! Jailor!"

"Is something wrong?"

The expressionless Bei'an soldier came over to ask.

Like the Taiyuan City in the past, after Su Yuan captured the capital, he immediately replaced all the people in important positions in the city with summoned soldiers.These include but are not limited to city gate soldiers, jailers, yamen and so on.

"I want to write something!" Lu Guang said, "Bring me a pen and paper!"

"No." The jailer said that he was about to leave, but Lu Guang was in a hurry, "Stop! Do you know who I am? I am Lu Guang, Minister of the Ministry of War, a mere jailer, how dare you be so disrespectful to me?!"

Before the jailer could answer, a voice with a smile sounded out.

"The emperor's father is dead, so what's the mere minister of the Ministry of War? And if this counts as disrespect, what's next?" the voice said to the jailer, "Give him a slap."

Without hesitation, the jailer raised his hand and smacked Lu Guang's face.

"what!"

Lu Guang cried out in pain, covered his face and took two steps back, glaring at each other: "You!"

The person who spoke was already approaching. He stood by the cell door and greeted everyone in the cell with a smile: "Hello, everyone."

"..."

All the officials didn't dare to speak. They didn't know where this young man came from, but judging from his methods, he might not be easy to mess with.

"Let me introduce myself first." The young man said, "My name is Shen Lian. You may not have heard of it. But it doesn't matter. I believe you will remember me soon."

"You, what are you going to do?"

For no reason, everyone shuddered.Although the young man had a smile on his face, he gave off a chilly feeling that made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Lu Guang was the first to bear the brunt, and unlike others, he had an impression of the name "Shen Lian", as if he had seen it in a certain intelligence report before.He couldn't remember exactly what it was, but it was certain that this Shen Lian was Su Yuan's number one man.

Now he is anxious to show his value, and he doesn't care about getting a slap, so he said to Shen Lian with patience: "You should be able to meet Bei'an Wang Suyuan directly? If you don't let me write it, then I will tell him directly. .It’s something very important! You can’t afford to delay it!”

"Hehe." Shen Lian smiled, "It's okay, it's the same as if you tell me, I will tell your lord."

"Tell me? What are you!" Lu Guang finally couldn't hold back his anger.

"Tsk, it seems that this Lu Shangshu has a good temper, but I don't know if his backbone will be as tough as his temper."

Shen Lian rubbed his wrist: "I haven't done much work in person recently, I don't know if I'm unfamiliar." He turned to the jailer and said, "Come on, bring Lu Shangshu out, I'll use him first to find out."

The jailer nodded and took out the key to unlock the door.

Lu Guang in the cell was terrified for a moment, and stepped back a few steps, his back covered in cold sweat pressed against the wall.

At this moment, he finally remembered that the information he had read was sent to the capital by Xu Yichuan before Taiyuan fell.It states that Su Yuan has a right-hand assistant who is extremely good at torture and follow-up investigations. That person's name is...

Shen Lian!
