Jiuding Military Division 2

Since the civil turmoil broke out, no delay was allowed. Early the next morning, He Ran went to the palace to report to Su Pingjiang, appointed several colleagues from the Supervision Department and the Ministry of Punishment, and after some preparations, he left Mingzhong City in the afternoon.

Luzhong Township, Chaotian County is less than three hundred miles away from Wangcheng, and the group arrived at Xiangwu Village, where the incident happened, at noon three days later.

When he came to the barracks, General Huan Zeng, who was in charge of the army, heard the arrival of the military commander at first, and hurried out of his tent to pay homage, saying: "I didn't know that the military commander was here in person, and the last general was too far away to meet him. Please forgive me, military commander."

He Ran asked with a straight face: "How about the casualties on both sides?"

Huanzeng bowed his body and said, "Seventeen soldiers were killed in battle, and more than fifty mobs were killed."

He Ran raised his eyes to look at the village halfway up the mountain, and asked coldly, "Why didn't you attack?"

Huan Zeng saw the military master's expression, he panicked, and said: "The mob vowed not to surrender, the governor of the county was afraid that the disturbance would become uncontrollable, so he stopped. Let the five soldiers be captured by the mob, and ask the military division to punish Xiandaoji."

Zhuyin asked: "General Huan, get up, where is Governor Du?"

Huan Zeng finally didn't dare to straighten his body too straight, and replied, "It's in the camp not far away."

Without waiting for orders, someone rushed to summon him.

As He Ran walked into the big tent, he ordered: "Let the soldiers and horses in front withdraw."

Huanzeng hurriedly sent the order, and then waited outside the tent anxiously.

He Ran sat in the middle, Zhuyin and Kou Wei were the chiefs on the left and right respectively, and Wu Shilang from the Ministry of Criminal Justice was at the bottom.

"Huanzeng, come in!" He didn't need anyone to send an order, and shouted directly to the outside.

Huan Zeng couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly lowered his head and entered the big tent.

"Let me ask you, who ordered you to send troops? When did you leave the station?"

"At the end of the day, at noon on the second day, I got the order of the county guard, and the troops left the camp at midnight on the fourth day."

With a smile on the corner of He Ran's mouth, he said, "I took orders at noon on the second day, and dispatched at Chen on the fourth day. You are really good at managing troops."

Huanzeng argued: "Military division, I was supposed to go out on the day I received the order, but because the deputy general Zhong Min obstructed in every possible way and incited the headquarters to disobey, it was delayed for two days."

"Why is he obstructing?"

"He thinks... it is not appropriate to use troops, but to appease them. But the mob has beaten and injured the officials, and the law of the country has not been punished. Please learn from the military advisor."

"Where is Zhong Min?"

"The last general sent him to stay at the station."

He Ran nodded, and ordered Zhong Min to come quickly, and then said: "I received the order on the second day, and mobilized the army on the fourth day. Why did I get the military report on the thirteenth day? Don't you know the military law?" [

Huanzeng bowed his head and said: "The governor of the county said that he will report to the imperial court."

He Ran snorted, and said: "It seems that you really don't understand military law. What he reported was a local report. Don't you know that you need to report to the Ministry of War when you use soldiers and horses?"

/>

Huan Zeng knew he was guilty, lowered his head even lower, and said: "The last general thought that he would be done with the troops, but he didn't expect..."

He Ran sternly said: "Don't you need to report when you lead the soldiers?"

"The general will be found guilty, and is willing to receive the punishment." Cold sweat was already on the corner of Huan Zeng's forehead.

He Ran got up and walked to him, told him to look up, then stared at him and said, "You won't break the law without a reason, did you say it yourself, or let me investigate?"

Huanzeng's legs were already weak, and his voice trembled: "The last general really didn't expect this to happen. At that time, the people sent by the county guard said that as soon as the army arrived, the mob would disperse like birds and beasts. There was no need for soldiers to do anything. The yamen servants will take over the following tasks."

He Ran shook his head slowly, and said, "That's not what I asked."

Huanzeng knew that he couldn't get away with it, he hesitated and said: "Master Du...Master Du is not a bad general, this public riot is... aimed at Mr. Du, he doesn't want the court to know, he wants to calm down as soon as possible, So I found the last general..."

He Ran sat back on the table and said to Kou Wei, "It's as we expected."

Kou Wei sighed, and before he could speak, Zhong reported, "Du Ting, the governor of Chaotian County, is waiting outside."

He Ran said to Huanzeng: "Hand over the seal letter of the soldiers, and wait for the sinful emperor's favorite concubine to read the full text of the world." Then he stood up and gave up his seat, and bowed his hands to Kou Wei, saying: "I have received Huanzeng's soldiers. Quan, it's time to give up this position to your lord, and let your lord decide the rest."

Kou Wei stood up and said, "How dare the military adviser take the lead here? Besides, it's rare to catch up with the military adviser to ask questions. The subordinate officer happens to observe and receive education. The military adviser should decide."

"In the courtroom, officials are not ranked according to their rank, and the person who enforces the law should take the lead. Not to mention that your lord is the chief minister of the court, even if the city guard asks the case, I have to give way."

Letting it go again and again, Kou Wei whispered in his ear: "The lower officials have just taken the position of chief law officer, and the people below don't know about it. It's better to show people as the head of the Supervision Department at this moment. The military and chaos involved in this case is no small matter. Let the military division decide , just as an example for the lower officials."

He Ran nodded, turned to Zhuyin, pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Lord Kou refuses to accept this case, so I should have asked Lord Zhongshu to arbitrate it, but since it involves the military, I will take it on my behalf. The identity is temporarily for disposal, please correct me if it is inappropriate."

Zhuyin cupped his hands and replied: "It should be so, Mr. Kou and I will listen and be taught respectfully."

"It's the supervision and supervision." He Ran smiled and sat back on the main seat, and first sent an order: "Please inspector, Mr. Huang."

After a while, Huang entered the account, she didn't know what He Ran suddenly called her to do, and she stood there with her hands down after saluting.

He Ran ordered the staff in charge of military affairs: "Temporarily hand over the military power of Huanzeng's troops to Mr. Huang." Then he said to Huang: "Order this group of troops to return to the camp and not leave the camp. Anyone who violates the order will be executed immediately. As your deputy general, lead a thousand disciples of the Zangxian Valley to execute orders."

Huang led the order to go.

He Ran sent another order to Hong Quan: "Find an open space in front of the village, set up a military division banner, tell the villagers, and choose three leaders to come and discuss with me."

After making these arrangements, He Ran ordered the guards to pour tea with everyone, while he leisurely chatted with Minister Wu of the Ministry of Justice about the last banquet, completely watching the ashes on his face.

Zhuyin reminded: "Master Du is still waiting outside, why don't you ask him first?"

He Ran said: "It's better to let him testify face to face with the people, so that the people will feel fair."

Although Zhuyin didn't think so, it was inconvenient to say more on this occasion.

Not long after, Hong came to report that the venue had been arranged.

"Let's go now." He Ran said as he stood up and walked out first. When he reached the tent, he turned around and said to Huan Zeng who was at a loss, "General Huan, please."

"Yes, yes." Huanzeng bowed and followed behind, Zhuyin gave Hong a wink, Hong understood, and stepped forward to hand over his sword.

Du Ting, the governor of Chaotian County, who had been waiting outside the tent, was flustered at this moment. I don't know why the military commander didn't summon him for a long time, because there were military guards in front of the tent, and he didn't dare to get too close to eavesdrop.Seeing the military adviser come out at this moment, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "What's the use of military adviser, Zhong Shuling and all the adults coming in person for some trivial matters? Du Ting is far away to welcome you. I hope all the adults will forgive me."

He Ran smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you are really calm. This matter is not a small matter. It is nothing to see public riots in the newly harvested land, but there is no such big disturbance in the area where the New Deal has been implemented for more than half a year."

"This official has neglected his duties, this official has neglected his duties, but everything is under control. Please, my lords, go to the city to rest first. After my officials have dealt with the affairs here, I will go and plead guilty to my lords."

"How to deal with it? Kill all these people? Or is there any good strategy for the adults to make them submit? I think if the adults really have a good plan, they won't wait until this time, right?"

"This..." Du Ting heard the military division's bad tone, and then looked at Huanzeng behind him, the smile on his face froze a bit.

"Since the people call to see me, my lord will go with us to meet them." He Ran stopped looking at him and walked towards the village with square steps.
