Chapter 1427: Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger
"The specific measures, the villain has written down in detail, and he will send someone to the prime minister later!"
This made Qin Jin a little surprised, did Li Zhong come prepared, or did this person always have loyalty and righteousness in his heart, thinking about the Jiangshan Sheji? It was ridiculous to think about it, just now he was worried that Li Zhong would cause trouble to the imperial court's strategy of managing the Western Regions, how could he become a loyal person in a blink of an eye!
"Okay, good, Qin has thanked Mr. first!"
Then he waved his hand, leading Li Zhong away.
Looking at Li Zhong's back, Qin Jin whispered to himself:
"What's the secret behind this man?"
Qin Yan, who had been staring at Li Zhong with a gloomy face, replied:
"Just a businessman, no matter what secrets there are behind it, once they are caught doing illegal things, they should be severely punished to set an example!"
This is in line with Qin Jin's consistent attitude towards dealing with conspirators and rebels, if there is credible evidence, they will not be soft, and if the evidence is doubtful, they should wait and see what happens, and respond at any time.
After all, it is not easy to revitalize Mulu City, and now that the people's hearts are initially settled, the slightest fluctuation will make the people's hearts that have just been set float again, which will inevitably affect the imperial court's strategy for operating the Western Regions.
The carts entering the market must be carefully inspected by the security forces in Mulu City, and weapons such as knives and arrows are absolutely impossible to bring in, not to mention that there is a military camp with the Shenwu Army stationed outside the market, even if Li Zhong and the others intend to cause chaos, I am afraid that they will not choose this place here and now.
The bazaar was soon full of people, a hundred times more lively than expected, Qin Jin yawned, he felt a little tired.
These days are constantly on the road, dealing with all the things that must be personally interrogated, there is hardly time to rest, and the body has been like a longbow with the strings drawn, stiffly tense.
"If the prime minister is tired, it's better to go back to rest first, I'll watch here, there won't be any chaos!"
Qin Jin nodded.
"Today's opening is a good start, and those people are unlikely to make trouble today, but those mysterious traders seem to have other moves, don't just focus on the market!"
After saying this, even Qin Jin himself was excited, and he seemed to remember something.
"The bazaar may be a disguise, maybe the thief's target is not the bazaar in the first place, there must be something more important than this!"
Qin Jin's mind was racing rapidly, and then he counted how many important targets there were in Mulu City.
"The granary, it must be the granary!"
Abbas ran the city of Mulu for many years, and as the seat of the governor of Khorasan, there were granaries built here to store enough food to eat.
If someone is eyeing Mulu City, then nine times out of ten, the qi target is the granary here.
"How many guards are there in the granary?"
"There's about a battalion of vigilantes!"
Since the walls around the granary have been repaired, most of the defense areas that the Shenwu Army is responsible for are those areas where the walls have not been sealed to prevent the enemy from raiding outside. Internally, locally recruited security forces are sufficient.
After Qin Jin's reminder, cold sweat oozed from Qin Yan's face, if the conspirators' goal was to burn down the granary, it might be difficult to protect it with only a battalion of security troops.
"You immediately give the order to change the guards of the security army guarding the granary with the surrounding area, and then send an additional battalion of Shenwu Army over to pay close attention to suspicious movements!"
After explaining, Qin Jin could no longer suppress the drowsiness that was pouring in, and rushed back to Xingyuan with his entourage to rest.
It's not that he doesn't worry about the granary, but he believes that Qin Yan has enough ability to deal with this matter, otherwise he has to bow down to everything, how can he be a qualified commander?
Qin Yan immediately issued several orders one after another, on the one hand, he ordered people to closely monitor the mysterious merchant team and the accomplices who came to Mulu City together, and on the other hand, he adjusted the defense of the granary tightly on the outside and on the inside, so as to complete the change of defense with the smallest movement.
He was now worried that the security forces responsible for guarding the granaries might be bought, so the replacement was asked to return to the barracks to await a lecture.
The captains of the security army are all locals of Mulu City, and they are all selected from the children of local nobles as key training objects.
It can win over the local nobles, and it can also integrate the Shenwu Army into the local area as soon as possible, so as to achieve the goal of stabilizing Mulu City.
Now, once something goes wrong, the loyalty of these vigilantes has become a crucial issue, is there a chance that they will be bought?
Immediately, Qin Yan convened a meeting of the chief and deputy captains of the security forces, and he wanted to observe which person was the most suspicious.
This was a military meeting held suddenly, and the captains did not know what new orders were to be conveyed from above, and after arriving at the venue, they all speculated one by one, and some even speculated that perhaps the prime minister intended to summon them to encourage the morale of the army.
It wasn't until Qin Yan arrived that the captains and lieutenants quieted down.
Everyone knows how powerful this guy is, and when it comes to military law, none of the six relatives are not afraid of him.
"Everyone, you are quiet, I have summoned you today, compared to the fact that the prime minister has just been assassinated, but fortunately he was not injured. However, this shows that the problem is already very serious, in broad daylight, the assassination of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, will the conspirators behind it have follow-up actions, and how many of these people's remnants are still hiding in the dark corners of Mulu City?"
Qin Yan paused, then glanced at the people present, carefully observing the changes in their expressions.
The expressions on everyone's faces varied, some were surprised, some were worried, and some didn't change much.
There was nothing unusual about this, and then he added:
"The original intention of the establishment of the security force was to maintain law and order in the city, and now that there is such a big mistake, you have an unshirkable responsibility. ”
One of the young Persian lieutenants stood up.
"The last general will be in charge of the city for these two days, and he will receive the punishment for his sins. Please also ask the general to allow the last general to make meritorious service and pull out of the hole those rats who are plotting and plotting!"
Qin Yan was very satisfied with this statement, and said:
"Very good! Do not shirk responsibilities, do not avoid problems, can be exemplary. But my Shenwu Army has clear rewards and punishments, and there will be no mercy to be rewarded, and those who should be punished must be punished, and those who should be rewarded must not be stingy! Today, for the time being, make a note of your punishment, and when you find out those rats hiding in the shadows, you are allowed to resist it!"
"General Xie is compassionate!"
Qin Yan nodded with satisfaction again, then raised his head to scan the people in the audience.
Seeing this, everyone hesitated, and they all hurriedly expressed their attitude, and they wanted to do their best to find out those rats who were plotting and rebelling.
After the closure of today's bazaar, the captains and lieutenants of the various security forces returned to the barracks and immediately assigned tasks, focusing on the search for those outsiders who had entered Mulu City in the past half a month, intending to use this as a breakthrough to capture all the conspirators and rebels in one fell swoop.
Before sunset, there is a great trend of mountain rain in Mulu City.
