Chapter 50: Dedication and Speculation (6)

"Lord Luo, Lord Shen has always said that the matter of this militia group can only be decided after you come. We learned that Lord Luo went to chase down the water thieves, and we have been looking forward to Lord Luo's victorious return as soon as possible. Li Shouchang, the most powerful of the four major militia leaders in Wuzhou, said with a smile from the old rivers and lakes.

Luo Xuan is even more old, he smiled slightly, "The water thief has already been caught, but we want to conquer the world and sit in the world." So from now on, there have to be rules. According to the new judicial procedure, it took several days to deal with the water thieves. The head of the water thief is now hanging in Guangzhou City for public display, or it will be sent to Wuzhou for public display in a few days. You don't have to rush! ”

Hearing that the Luo Gang easily exterminated the water thieves, whether it was true or false, the leaders of the militia all congratulated one after another.

After listening to their flattering words, Luo Xuan waved his hand to silence everyone, "I just said that we want to fight the world and sit in the world when we restore the Governor's Mansion!" You all look like you are scholars, and you think you have heard a sentence of Confucius, which is called killing without teaching and cruelty. That is to say, if we do not publicize the laws of the land that we have set up to everyone, if we do not let them know about it. If someone breaks the law, we immediately kill them according to the law of our land, and that is tyranny. I think you should know this sentence, right? ”

Judging from their expressions, these readers didn't immediately remember this sentence. Luo Xuan looked at Shen Xin, and Shen Xin immediately went to the bookshelf in the conference room and took the Analects, turned to the page and handed it to everyone. As soon as everyone took a look, they also understood what Luo Outline said. Li Shouchang immediately patted his ass, "Lord Luo is really a civil and military all-rounder!" ”

After listening to this, Luo Jian smiled calmly, and he said in a very happy tone: "What Brother Li means by this, I listen to it, but you think I don't know a lot of big words, and I have read some books, so you didn't expect it!" ”

Although this attitude is very gentle, the nails in the words make Li Shouchang honest immediately.

Luo Xuan was not complacent about this, he continued: "Everyone doesn't have to play this nonsense. Let's just talk about dry goods! You have a militia group, we all know it. Therefore, we have set up the "Regulations on the Management of People's Groups" to manage, this regulation is not changed overnight, we will also publish the content of this regulation in the newspaper, if there is any latest adjustment, we will also give you the fastest adjustment. Let's take a look together! After speaking, Luo Xuan took out a red-headed text and handed it to Li Shouchang.

Several other group training leaders wanted to come over and take a look, but they didn't think it was appropriate. Luo Xuan looked at their appearance of wanting to move but not daring to move, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are the leaders of the militia group, one for everyone." ”

After speaking, he counted out three more copies of the text, and one person gave one. After the leaders of the militia group got it, Luo Xuan said: "Everyone can take your time, and you can come here again tomorrow afternoon." We can have a good talk. ”

After sending off the panicked militia leader, Luo Gang asked the militia leader to go home first. At this time, Shen Xin had already picked up a copy of the text and looked at it carefully.

This is the latest militia management text, which is mainly four contents.

1. A militia must declare to the local government in order to become a legal vigilante group. Those who do not declare it are illegal militia groups.

1. The legal militia pays the militia tax of ten taels of silver to the local government per person per year.

2. Legal militia groups implement the joint and several law, and if any militia member commits a crime, if the militia leader does not participate, he must bear joint and several liability. The penalty is half of the offender's. In terms of civil fines, the amount of the offender's fine multiplied by the number of members of the vigilante group. If the leader of the militia participates in a criminal act, then in addition to the punishment mentioned above, he must be tried and punished alone.

3. Members of legal militia groups are not allowed to hold public office.

4. If a legal vigilante employs peripheral personnel and does not declare its members. In addition to the rectification, there is also a fine of the total number of people who have already filed plus the total number of people who have not been declared multiplied by twenty.

5. If a member of the militia group leaves his organization, no one may stop him.

2. Unlawful militias must dissolve their organizations, and in the case of private activities, they will be divided by penalties such as hard labor.

……

3. Vigilante groups cannot intervene in public affairs

……

4. The scope of action of the vigilante groups

……

Originally, the Governor's Office wanted to use high-pressure means to completely dissolve the militia groups, but after discussion and practice, it finally came up with a way that was more inclined to boil frogs in hot water. If you forcibly disband the militia group, it will not work well, and many people will be worried at this time. Finally, the basic idea of this management regulation was to allow the militia to exist as an organization with a strong centripetal force. The militia became a big taxpayer. Members of vigilante groups are excluded from the system. The militia has a certain obligation to prevent bandits.

After reading this article, Shen Xin asked suspiciously: "Chief of Staff Luo, the Governor's Mansion is doing this, which is tantamount to letting the militia be obedient dogs, not only do we not give the dogs food, but we also have to let the dogs pay homage in turn." Aren't the militias going to rebel? ”

Luo Xuan comfortably made it to the chair, and then replied: "It's good to rebel!" After they rebelled, we just caught them all. But whether they have the courage to rebel is something worth seeing. ”

Shen Xin was not so relaxed, "They naturally don't want to fight us now, but they will wait for the opportunity." If we have the slightest opportunity, they will do it. ”

Luo Xuan shook his head, "We have a chance, this is our business." They rose up in rebellion, and that was their business. In the end, whether the rebellion will succeed or not, I don't think they have any hope at all. When that happens, we won't have to be polite to them. If you should raid your home, you should cut off your head! ”

After saying this, Luo Xuan looked at Shen Xin's uneasy expression and couldn't help but smile, "Brother Shen, you will know after you have experienced these things, sometimes it is not that you don't want to kill them, they will accept your affection." I'll tell you now, it's wrong that we didn't enter Wuzhou City. We didn't break into Wuzhou City, and these people really didn't know how powerful. ”

The next afternoon, several militia leaders did not show up on time. On the third day, they also did not show up. In the latest news, the group practitioners in Wuzhou City are secretly contacting various forces inside and outside Wuzhou City.

Shen Xin held a meeting at that time, and this meeting was greatly unexpected to him. The other members of the Liberation Society supported the idea of a major purge of the militias and other forces. Moreover, Luo Outline met with Wei Ze from Guangzhou, and also asked in detail about the authority of the political committee. As the convener of the meeting, Shen Xin cannot implement any resolution that has not been passed through the meeting. However, as long as the program and principles of the Governor's Office were not violated at the meeting, everyone could discuss and decide on the specific implementation process.

As far as the Guangfu Governor's Office is concerned, the focus now is to stabilize the local order, control the safety of the shipping routes in Wuzhou, and try to bring the people who rely on their own labor to eat into the hands of the local government in Wuzhou. From these principles, the kind of joint strategy proposed by Shen Xin was unanimously opposed. On the contrary, it was Luo's proposal to eliminate the militia and some of the "influential" boat leaders on the Pearl River route, which was completely accepted by these middle and high-ranking officers.

"As long as we get rid of these leaders, the people who want to make a living will naturally come to us. It is better to cut off people's money than to kill their parents. As long as we continue to control the shipping route now, as long as we take care of all the business on the river, we and them will not die. Luo Xuan said loudly.

Shen Xin also retorted without showing weakness: "The Taiping army controls the shipping route on the Yangtze River, but there is no such thing!" ”

"Huh!" "Haha!" At the meeting, the officers from Liangguang laughed out loud, as if Shen Xin had said some big joke.

After all, Shen Xin is only twenty years old, although he has been a temporary worker in the government department for two years and has gone through a lot of things, he is still inevitably a teenager, and after being generally ridiculed, he is really annoyed. With a blushing face, Shen Xin said loudly: "What's so funny about this? ”

Luo Xuan didn't laugh, but he had the same condescending smile on his face as the elder looked at the young man, "Brother Shen, this is not the Yangtze River, this is the Pearl River." We are not facing people from Anhui, Hubei, or Jiangsu. We are facing the people of Liangguang, the people on both sides of the Yangtze River are afraid of the government, and none of our brothers in Liangguang really take the government in their eyes! In Liangguang, whose knife is fast and whose knife is sharp, who can give orders! It's useless to say it by mouth! ”

Looking at Shen Xin's expression of not agreeing with this concept, Luo Xuan said to the people present: "We are all members of the Restoration Society, so let's vote according to the rules of the Restoration Society!" ”

In the end, only Shen Xin's vote was cast, and the "radical solution" proposed by Luo Outline was passed. The troops in Wuzhou City immediately began to adjust their policies and strategies. First of all, the defense system with the Wuzhou prefect yamen as the core in the city was strengthened, and the defense system of the shipping bureau at the wharf was also strengthened. Armed police positions, which are undertaken by the army, have also been strengthened.

While preparing for battle internally, the "traditional defensive points" of the troops at the city gates and city heads were significantly weakened. To Luo Xuan's surprise, even after being completely denied, Shen Xin was only depressed for the first two days, and from the third day, he also devoted himself to preparations. Because of the dissatisfaction in his heart, Shen Xin kept his face tight, but he didn't bring out any anger, let alone lose his temper with his brothers. Luo Xuan's evaluation of Shen Xin has also been greatly improved.

After taking a moment, Luo Xuan talked to Shen Xin, "Brother Shen, you tell your brother the truth, are you really convinced now?" ”

"Humph!" Shen Xin sneered, "I'm not convinced of you, it's just that things are already like this, and I have to follow the policies of the Governor's Mansion!" ”

"Follow ......" Luo Outline paid special attention to this sentence that was very in line with Shen Xin's mood. After repeating it a few times, Luo Xuan suddenly remembered what Wei Ze had said, "You think that you can't go to this political goal you expect by your own strength, so you have to find like-minded people to contract with your comrades and go with your comrades." As for how far you can go and where you can go, I can say that you don't know Brother Luo. But you will follow this idea, follow this banner, go wherever you go. ”

At that time, Wei Ze explained to Luo Outline the difference between joining the revolution and speculating on the revolution, and Luo Outline himself was undoubtedly involved in the revolution. The reason why he resolutely switched from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to Wei Ze was not to get a higher official position than the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Wei Ze, let alone to reward more wealth. Luo Outline believes that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has lost its own political concept, and only Wei Ze still adheres to the program of "overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty" and "equalizing the land", and is unswervingly fighting.

Although Shen Xin is young, his ability to do things may not be praiseworthy. But just such a sentence of "follow along" made Luo Outline sure that Shen Xin was a guy who joined the revolution. Even if he was angry, even if he was unhappy, even if he was denied by most people, Shen Xin did not leave his job behind, but really stuck to his post and continued to follow the policy.

Thinking of this, Luo Xuan couldn't help but praise in his heart: "That political department is quite discerning!" ”
