Chapter 182 New Order(1/2)

After the war, Nanjing regained its calm.

The Three Thousand Battalion took over the city defense and patrolled the city every day. However, ordinary people soon discovered that these people seemed different from the previous officers and soldiers because they never disturbed the people.

The common people had just witnessed a scene of a fight between gods and gods, and they felt a bit of awe towards these unfamiliar faces.

I originally thought that these people were aloof or vicious, but after just a few days of contact, I found that they were completely different from what I imagined.

The people guarding the city gate still checked the people passing by, but they never made things difficult.

When encountering illegal goods, they just check whether the goods are prohibited and whether there are formal documents, and then let them go.

Those with incomplete procedures, those suspected of smuggling, or those carrying prohibited items will be detained directly and the money will not be collected. Those who shout that there is someone above...the so-called big shot who is called out will be arrested in the shortest possible time.

Take it.

They formed a team of ten people and patrolled the streets and alleys. Sometimes, they would take a break at a roadside tea stall, but they would take the initiative to pay for the tea every time.

Even if they encounter some scoundrels causing trouble in the street, they will help them deal with it.

Such behavior was simply unheard of and unseen before.

The entire city of Nanjing quickly restored order, and it was a new order.

Therefore, after everyone worried a little, they just continued to do whatever they were supposed to do as usual.

At the same time, starting from Nanjing Zuowei, the inventory work of various health centers has also begun.

Li Zhen, Duke of Rui State, came to Zuowei's station and first read out the imperial edict. The general meaning was that the emperor was very dissatisfied with the current situation of the guards. The next step would be to change, and the guards must fully cooperate.

Chen Weisong stepped forward and reported: "To the Duke, all 3,513 Nanjing Left Guards are here, please review!"

Li Zhen frowned and asked: "According to the report from the former commander, Nanjing Zuowei has a full strength of 5,600 people. How come there are only more than 3,000 people? Where are the rest?"

"Returning to the father-in-law, the former commander Si Fangbo had been left without pay for a long time. In fact, the number of Nanjing Left Guards was only more than 3,900, less than 4,000. Before the battle at the Grand Campus, he was ordered to dispose of Si Fangbo

There are seventy-three people in total, and in the battle at the Grand Campus, the left guard killed 350 people and seriously injured 92 people, and the rest are all here."

Li Zhen nodded, and then ordered all the soldiers to gather together. Instead of giving a lecture, they asked everyone to sit on the ground.

More than 3,000 people gathered in a large circle, waiting for further instructions.

Li Zhen stood in the center and said loudly: "You all serve as soldiers and eat food. You all have wives, children, and children. You have been military households for generations. When Emperor Taizu was the emperor, he ordered your ancestors to garrison here. I will own the fields of Zuowei."

After checking, the total is 360,000 acres, but in recent years, due to various reasons, there are only less than 250,000 acres left. Let me ask you, do you still cultivate military land on weekdays?"

Devour

Everyone looked timid and did not dare to say a word.

"Speak, don't be afraid!"

Chen Weisong could only say truthfully: "The military field... is gone long ago."

Li Zhen frowned and said, "Where have you gone?"

"The people above... took it, and they would rather rent it to tenants..."

Li Zhen asked again: "The military fields were given to everyone by the imperial court, why should they take them away?"

Everyone was silent again, not even daring to answer.

Li Zhen took out the accounts and continued: "This is the food and salary paid to Zuo Wei by the imperial court in recent years. Let's just say this year. This year, ordinary soldiers should each receive three taels of silver and two hundred catties of grain. In addition to this,

Besides, there are five feet of cloth, have these got into your hands?"

Everyone fell silent again, and the result was obvious.

Li Zhen looked at Chen Weisong, who could only reply: "No!"

"Where did all this go?"

"It's not like I was deducted from that son of a bitch..."

Now that the matter has come to this, Chen Weisong no longer wants to hide it.

Although he used to be a member of the Baihu family and was regarded as a mid-level officer, in the guardhouse, those who eat meat are always the senior officials, and those who drink soup are the followers behind these senior officials. Chen Weisong is exactly the one who is excluded.

, these years, life has been better than that of ordinary soldiers, but the benefits are limited.

In the past few days, through brief contact with the emperor, he had a strong hunch that the emperor was likely to take drastic measures in response to the current bad government.

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter, but they immediately realized that this was actually not funny, so they stopped laughing in a hurry.

"You're right, you were shortchanged by those sons of bitches!"

But Li Zhen didn't care at all and said: "As far as I know, that son of a bitch's former commander was beaten by the rebels under his nose. He is still marrying a little wife, and that fellow acquaintance actually drank with him.

The wedding banquet is here! You, Zuo Wei,

Among these high-level officials, none of them have three wives and four concubines. There are thirty or forty servants in their houses. Where do they get their money? On the other hand, how many of you can find a wife?

One that can make the whole family not hungry?"

After saying this, everyone present fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, someone burst into tears.

Chen Weisong turned his head and scolded: "Wang Laoba, why the hell are you crying?"

But the man named Wang Laoba still kept wailing and shouted intermittently: "My mother..."

Li Zhen asked: "What happened?"

Chen Weisong had no choice but to explain: "This old man wanted to escape from his country a few days ago. He was caught and beaten half to death on the spot!"

Li Zhen asked again: "Why did you run away? Could it be that there was a war and this person escaped before the battle?"

Chen Weisong smiled bitterly and said: "Where did the war come from? He fled his country because his mother starved to death! He ate food and served as a soldier and worked hard for the court. Why did he even sell his life and his mother starved to death instead?

"

Many people present knew about this. This Wang Laobao was beaten to death when he was caught as a deserter. At that time, everyone couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Now seeing him crying, everyone's eyes suddenly turned red.

Wang Laobao's matter has always been kept secret in the guardhouse. Now it is mentioned in public, but I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Li Zhen waved to Wang Laoba and said, "Come here!"

Wang Laoba was a little at a loss, so he slowly came forward and wiped his tears with his sleeves.

"Is your mother starving to death?"

"Yes, my mother is starving to death!"

Li Zhen solemnly said to him: "The emperor once confessed that he is aware of everyone's suffering and wants to apologize to everyone for what happened before. However, do you dare to accept the apology from the emperor?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare..."

Wang Laobao immediately panicked and waved his hands hurriedly.

"That's good!"

Li Zhen continued: "I, Mr. Li, made the decision without authorization, so I won't apologize. However, everyone must understand the emperor's intentions. The emperor really wants everyone to live a good life, whether it is the White Lotus Sect rebels or the coastal pirates.

, corrupt officials, or those with evil hearts who oppress you all

Officers, they will pay the price for what they have done, and the guards will also be reformed in the future. All you have to do is support the emperor's decision. From now on, no one will be oppressed again, and no one will be bullied.

Starved to death, do you understand?"

Before Chen Weisong could speak, Wang Laoba had already shouted: "Your Majesty, your Majesty!"

Li Zhen took out another edict and said: "This is an edict issued by the emperor. All guard posts must be inspected. Here, the former commander and others have been punished. The land they were greedy for is still in accordance with the previous rules.

Allocating it to the people of Wei is a real allotment of the land. It does not allow you and your family to rent the land, but re-measures it and directly allows your family to apply for the land deed."

"In addition, the military pay that has been withheld will be distributed as usual in the future. In the battle at the campus, rewards will be given based on merit. If the officials in this camp, big and small, are guilty of many evil deeds on weekdays, they must be traced out. However, I think that in the big camp like yours,

A battle on the school field is a success, if it lasts three days

Within the period, you can take the initiative to admit your problems and hand over the money and land you should not have taken. You can forget the blame. Listen up, everyone can exercise the power of supervision for a period of three days. After three days, if someone reports you,

If it is verified, don’t blame the military law for being ruthless!

"In short, the emperor understands your hard work and knows your difficulties. Everyone knows that military households are inferior to others. But why should military households be inferior to others? Of course, some people are deliberately looking down on you, and it is also because of those sons of bitches in daily life.

The black-hearted officers do not treat you as human beings. This situation will never happen again in the future. Otherwise, your former commander will be a living example."

After saying that, Li Zhen handed the edict in her hand to Chen Weisong and said sternly: "Chen Weisong, the emperor has now officially appointed you as the commander of the Nanjing left guard to preside over the subsequent reform of the guard station. I hope you will not disappoint the emperor's trust in you."

trust!"

Chen Weisong was surprised and happy. He quickly knelt down and shouted: "I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

When the soldiers heard that they really wanted to give land deeds and pay, they all became excited.

But those officers who usually exploited the big guys had dark faces and sighed silently.

The good days are over, and things will change for Nanjing Zuowei from now on.

If you want to survive, you have to obediently hand over the money and land to Greedy Mo. Depending on the emperor's wishes, it's not too late to take sides now.

Li Zhen pressed her hands and waited for the noisy scene to calm down a bit, then said: "In addition, the army has to resume drills. I have seen the left guard personnel. Nearly half of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.
To be continued...
