Chapter 260: Rectification (Part II)

Fang Zi'an continued: "Everyone, the reason why this official spread out these words today is not to find your fault. I just want to tell you that in the past, this official can not blame the past, because it is under the rule of others, and this official can't control it. But now that the official has taken over the office, it is absolutely not permissible for the atmosphere of the yamen to be so unbearable. Therefore, I want you to understand a few things. First, from this day forward, any person who commits the unbearable acts mentioned by the above-mentioned official will not be tolerated by this official and will be severely punished in accordance with military law and the law of the imperial court. If you have a fluke mentality and don't change your dead nature, you can give it a try. The official promises that you will be benevolent, and those who should be killed will make you lose your heads, and those who should be punished will make you bankrupt. ”

"The second thing is about the duty of being a defense force. As far as I know, many of you are waiting for death, free to wander around, and don't take errands seriously at all. When it's time to put out the fire, you drink, gamble, and sleep a lot, and it's completely inappropriate. Long-term lack of training, low skills, and incompetence. This situation must change. This officer will promulgate the new rules and regulations of the Yamen of the Imperial Army and the code of conduct for soldiers, and from now on, anyone who violates the provisions of the regulations will be punished accordingly, and will not be tolerated or merciless. ”

"The third thing is the adjustment of the structure of the army and the deployment of personnel. With immediate effect, all the captains and lieutenants of the tower are being dismissed on the spot, and the officer has drawn up a new list of appointments. It is hereby announced in public. Li Dalong and Lei Hu were transferred to the chief and deputy lieutenants of the Yamen Unified Army, and the two of you assisted the officer in commanding all the soldiers and horses, and were responsible for the military discipline training of the soldiers and horses in each garrison and the firefighting. At the same time, an inspection team was formed, with Lei Hu as the captain, who was responsible for auditing the discipline and behavior of the soldiers. If there is the slightest error or neglect, only you will ask. Li Dalong, Lei Hu, do you two understand? ”

Li Dalong and Lei Hu stood up and saluted in response to the promise: "The two of us will never live up to the high expectations of adults!" ”

Fang Zi'an said: "Okay, enter the lobby and sit down." ”

Li Dalong and Lei Hu entered the lobby under the envious and jealous eyes of everyone and sat down on their chairs. With great excitement in his heart, Lei Hu's mouth burst with laughter, but Li Dalong maintained a serious expression, because he actually knew about this appointment for a long time.

“…… Wang Jin was appointed as the chief steward of the yamen, and together with the previous stewards, he was responsible for the salaries, weapons, and other logistical affairs of all the soldiers. Wang Jin entered the lobby and sat down. Fang Zi'an shouted.

Wang Jin almost fainted in shock, happily agreed loudly, trotted into the lobby and sat down.

"Appointment...... Chen Niuer is the head of the Wanghuo Tower in Qiantang Gate, Sun Fushou is the head of the Wanghuo Tower in Yongjinmen, Li Anping is the head of the Wanghuo Tower in Zhonghebei District, Yang Youcai is the head of the Wanghuo Tower in Zhonghexia District, and Su Dacheng is the head of the Beiguanmen Wanghuo Tower...... Qian Debiao...... Wu Ping...... Wu Laoqi ...... "Fang Zi'an announced the list of appointments one after another, and he announced the list of more than 20 tower commanders and more than 80 submarine fire team members one by one.

Some of the people whose names were read were surprised, some were stunned, and some were skeptical. The rest of the people also continued to let out shocking sounds. Many of them were the original tower captains and team leaders, and their faces became more and more gloomy as the new appointments were announced. By now, everyone finally understood that Master Fang had done a lot of research and preparation before this. It's no wonder that in the past few days, Lord Fang has been inspecting various fire tower stations and chatting with people, just looking for a list of candidates. He was ready for everything.

All the people whose names were called entered the lobby and took their seats, and the originally empty hall was now filled with more than a hundred new backbones with excited faces.

"The appointment of the above candidates has been reported to the Fire Administration Yamen for approval. The Commissioner will grant the Power of Attorney. All of you must take on the heavy responsibility of reviving the reputation of our defense army. I must warn you that if you fail to act or are incompetent, we will remove you immediately. If the soldiers under the jurisdiction of each tower commander have done something that violates the law and discipline, and you have not fulfilled the responsibility of prevention or timely disposal, the officer will be held accountable according to the situation. I hope you will do it yourself. Fang Zi'an turned to the yamen, which was full of people

"Do as you ask!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Fang Zi'an nodded, turned his head, and looked at the soldiers with different expressions who continued to speak loudly.

These appointments are effective immediately, and those who previously held positions are summarily dismissed from their posts at this moment. After the congress, those who have been dismissed must do a good job of handing over and must not slack off. Do you have any objections? ”

The crowd was silent, and Fang Zi'an was about to speak, when suddenly a man with a pockmarked face stood up and said loudly: "My lord, I don't accept it." Didn't you say that you were not to blame for the past? How did he remove us from office? We have worked hard to get through to today, do you say that you will be dismissed? We're also officially appointed, so why are you doing that? ”

"That's it, that's it, we're not convinced. Why are we dismissed? We did a good job, and we were just excused? You're messing around, we need an explanation. ”

"Yes, give me an explanation, or I won't do it. Let's go to the fire government yamen to find Lord Zheng to comment. ”

The man raised his head, and suddenly more than a dozen people stood up and shouted and made a noise.

Fang Zi'an nodded slowly, glared at the numb-faced man and said, "What's your name." ”

The pock-faced man also let go, and said loudly: "If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, my name is Zhao Sanjiu." ”

Fang Zi'an muttered the name Zhao Sanjiu in his mouth, raised his head and thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Sanjiu...... Nicknamed Zhao San Mazi, the head of the North Tumen Wanghuo Tower. Three years ago, you were the leader of the gangsters in the Beitumen area, aren't you? ”

The pock-faced man Zhao Sanjiu was stunned, he didn't expect Fang Zi'an to be so familiar with his background. frowned and said, "It's me, so what?" ”

Fang Zi'an sneered: "Zhao San Mazi, the official said that he is not to blame for the past, that is not to investigate what you have done, I hope you can be a new person and give you a chance, but I didn't say that it will exempt you from your position." This official gives you a chance to take back your previous words. ”

Zhao Sanjiu was already dizzy, and he said with a stalk around his neck: "What did I do?" I worked hard to follow Lord Xia, and as soon as Lord Xia died, you spared us all, what is this? If we don't give an explanation, we won't agree. ”

Fang Zi'an sneered: "You really don't want to take it back? ”

Zhao Sanjiu shouted: "Take back what? I don't understand. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded, and shouted in a deep voice: "Li Dalong, Lei Hu, take someone to take Zhao Sanjiu." ”

Li Dalong and Lei Hu immediately rushed out, stepping on the gap between a group of people and rushing towards Zhao Sanjiu. Zhao Sanjiu shouted: "What are you doing? Even if you are an official, you can't take people for no reason. ”

Fang Zi'an scolded: "I don't know what I am alive or dead, what have I done, haven't you counted it in your heart?" In October last year, the Chen family's mansion in Fengle Bridge caught fire, what did you do with someone to put out the fire? You blackmailed the Chen family for fifty taels of silver before you were willing to put out the fire, but you forgot. On the thirteenth day of the winter month last year, a fire broke out on Anminfang East Street, and a people's house was ransacked by you, and afterwards threatened others not to report to the official, saying that the fire burned all the property. From last year to this year, you extorted more than 300 taels from the people, robbed countless property while the fire was in place, and even withheld more than 20 taels of silver from the salaries of your soldiers. Do you still have the face to say that the official takes people for no reason? The officer has investigated all these matters clearly. The official said that the past is not to blame, you should be glad that you dare to jump out and make noise. Drag it up and hit me hard. ”

Zhao Sanjiu was stunned and speechless, he did have the psychology of luck, he thought that Fang Zi'an had just arrived, and it was impossible to know everything. These things were all done before Fang Zi'an came, and they were done very secretly, and Fang Zi'an would not know about it. But at this moment, he realized that he was completely wrong, and he actually knew it clearly.

In a daze, Li Dalong and Lei Hu had already dragged him out of the crowd, and after Fang Zi'an gave the order, Li Dalong and Lei Hu took it personally, took the jujube stick, knocked him to the ground, and beat him severely. How hard the jujube stick was, after a wild beating, Zhao Sanjiu's beaten skin was opened, and his hip bones were almost broken. Fang Zi'an didn't want to die, so he stopped the execution, but Zhao Sanjiu was already paralyzed on the ground and fainted like a leper dog with a broken backbone.

"Dog thing, don't be ashamed of your face. Li Dalong will take someone to raid his home and search for stolen goods. Later, it will be sent to the fire administration yamen along with the stolen goods, and let Lord Zheng dispose of it. This kind of dog thing that ruins the reputation of the Fire Administration Yamen, Lord Zheng will count him as lucky to let him live one more day. Fang Zi'an shouted.

"Yes!" Li Dalong said loudly.

Fang Zi'an turned to the dozen or twenty guys who were still following him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who else wants the official to give him an explanation?" Tell me your name, and the official will give an explanation. ”

Those who stood up had already sat down secretly, who dared to say anything more.

Fang Zi'an stretched out his hand and took out a thick booklet from his arms, and said in a deep voice: "In the past ten days, the official has done a lot of visits and collected evidence, and some of you have done it before. That's why this official dares to say that I know what you have done. Give you face, but don't. spare your lives, but if you think your life is long, then the official will not be polite. Everyone listened to the official, and the official still said the same thing, and he was not to blame for the past. But the premise is that you are all honest to your own officials. Whoever extorted the people's goods, robbed the people's goods, and withheld the money of his brothers, after this day, I will give you a period of ten days of repentance. Within these 10 days, anyone who takes the initiative to confess and return the property will not be held accountable by the official, and will be treated equally in the future. After the ten-day period, this Zhao Sanjiu is the end. ”

Those guys who did bad things scolded in their hearts, but they didn't scold Fang Zi'an, but Zhao Sanjiu and these people who made a fuss before. Originally things were settled down with these dogs. The mother is going to make trouble, but now it's okay, something big is coming. Seeing Zhao Sanjiu paralyzed on the ground with blurred flesh and blood, these people were all frightened, and they didn't know what to do.

Don't mention the joy in the hearts of the rest of the soldiers, originally Lord Fang said that he spared these people before, and they still muttered in their hearts. Now it seems that the matter has not passed, and the reckoning is coming. Some people applauded, which triggered thunderous applause from the audience.
