After more than ten days of calm, Fang Zi'an finally convened a meeting of all the officers and soldiers of the Yamen of the Fangyu Army. This is not just a meeting attended by the team and the backbone, but a meeting that most people must attend except for those who must stay.

On the morning of the same day, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the defense corner gathered in the Yamen compound, and there were no tables, chairs and benches. Many people even had to stand outside the yamen to attend the meeting.

Of course, it is not completely devoid of seats, there are rows of tables and chairs in the lobby of the yamen, but they are all vacant and there are no seats. This led to a lot of speculation among those who participated in the meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, Fang Zi'an invited Xia Liangdong's widow Zhu to the front steps in a high-profile manner, and in front of all the soldiers, Fang Zi'an read out the commendation order issued by the Fire Administration Yamen in public. The commendation order naturally praised the sacrifice of heroes such as Xia Liangdong and other heroes, and gave a bereavement pension. Xia Liangdong himself is a court official, and he was designated as a sacrifice in the line of duty, so he already has a generous pension and reward, plus Fang Zi'an himself squeezed out some of the Yamen reserve fund, and personally took out some silver taels, so the amount of pension given is quite generous. This made the Zhu family and all the family members very satisfied.

The reason why Fang Zi'an came out with some silver privately was to settle the matter and make the Zhu family and other family members feel satisfied. The second is actually to seek peace of mind. After all, the person was killed by himself and Ling'er, even if Xia Liangdong and the others deserved to die, but after visiting the Xia family and several other dead family members, when he saw their wives and children's parents, Fang Zi'an still felt a little uneasy in his heart. Xia Liangdong and they deserve to die, but their wives and children are innocent, and the amount of pension given by the imperial court to ordinary soldiers is too small, Fang Zi'an added some in a certain mentality of making up, which is also a move to seek inner peace.

After seeing off the family members, Fang Zi'an stood on the steps in front of the yamen hall and began to speak to all the officers and soldiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a few things to announce for you to gather here today. I hope that you will pricked up your ears to listen to today's official words, hear them clearly, and understand them. Because, from today onwards, there will be great changes in the military yamen of Lin'anyu, and I hope you can clearly understand this. Fang Zi'an said loudly.

The officers and soldiers in the audience were originally making a commotion, but as soon as Fang Zi'an said these words, everyone stopped making noise and pricked up their ears. Because in fact, everyone understands in their hearts that Lord Xia is dead, and Lord Fang, who has just taken office, is obviously not a good person, and he doesn't know how the yamen will change, which is actually a matter that everyone is concerned about.

"A few days ago, Lord Xia had already suffered misfortune, and the official expressed his great sorrow. However, Master Xia is gone, and we still have to do the affairs of the yamen. The Fire Administration Yamen has appointed the official to act as the defense officer, and is fully responsible for the affairs of the office, and the official is of course duty-bound. Since the official is responsible for the overall affairs of the office, the official has his own set of rules. Some of the previous rules, the official naturally has to change some of them. The first thing is about the atmosphere of the government."

Everyone's hearts sank, some people sweated, and some people got excited. Sure enough, this Lord Fang is going to be serious

。

"After the official was conferred, I heard a lot of remarks about the military yamen of Lin'an Defense. I am dissatisfied with what you have said, but many of my fellow students and division commanders shook their heads when they heard that I was going to serve in the Yamen of the Defense Army. They said that the military yamen of Lin'an Yujun was a garbage gathering place, a place where a group of rabble, fish and dragons were mixed, and everyone had it. This yamen has no future, and to come here to serve is to enter the muddy pool, and there will never be a future. The official didn't believe it at first, how to say that the Yamen of the Defense Army is also a special yamen specially set up by the imperial court, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, so it will not be as unbearable as they say. However, when I came here, I realized that what they were talking about was only the tip of the iceberg. This is not a garbage dump, it is not a mud pool, this is simply a big dung pit, full of disgusting maggots, densely wriggling, eating feces and drinking feces, and thinking that they are alive and moist. Everyone does not seek to be motivated, and everyone gives up on themselves, like the walking dead. Up and down, disgusting"

There was a buzz, and the whole yard exploded. Lord Fang actually slandered the Yamen of the Defense Army like this, it was simply too much. The soldiers still had some self-esteem, and when they heard such words, some of them were red-faced, some were dumbfounded, some were furious, and some clenched their fists. During this time, the favor brought by this Lord Fang to make up for the soldiers' salaries disappeared in an instant. It turned out that in the eyes of this Lord Fang, these people were so unbearable.

Fang Zi'an looked at the reactions of these people, his eyes showed a fierce color, and he glared at these people without flinching.

"Why do you think that the official has gone too far and said that you are so unbearable and hurts your self-esteem, and tell you that the official is quite polite. Some of you are not wronged even if you pull them out and cut off their heads. Don't think that the official doesn't know what you people have done, you take advantage of the fire to rob, extort the people, and even do some things to save yourself by arson, this official knows everything. Some of you have done illegal things that corrupt your moral conscience and violate the law of military discipline for the sake of such a small benefit, and if no one really knows, you will not go out and listen to what the people say about our defense army, and the people call us bandits, curse us for cutting off our children and grandchildren, and break our corpses into thousands of pieces. A yamen soldier and horse set up to fight fires and protect the people, but was cursed by the people like this, do you still have the face to be angry, say you are maggots, say wrong, say this yamen is a stinky dung pit, say wrong" Fang Zi'an said sharply.

Many hung their heads with shame on their faces. Many people sit still like pins and needles. This is the first time that these things have been publicly mentioned in front of so many people. This is a big taboo in the yamen, who dares to say it so openly.

"My lord, that's the work of some dog mongrel, and it has nothing to do with us. Most of us didn't do anything unconscionable. You can't knock over a boatload of people with one shot, right? One of the soldiers stood up and said loudly.

"Yes, Lord Fang, you can't scold all of us into it, we didn't do anything, and we were also deducted from our salaries." The soldiers chimed in.

"Shut up for me," Fang Zi'an roared angrily, "One by one, you still think it's reasonable, right, there are indeed some of you who didn't do these murders."

Bad thing, but how much are you so good, how much has your salary deducted, your backbone, your own salary and silver have been deducted, and you are still stuffy, pinching your nose, eating dumb losses, are you men, you can still be called soldiers, and you are still expected to protect the people, you can't even protect yourself. Those who do those illegal things that harm the people are doing such things right under your noses, why don't any of you stand up and point out that you will only be a turtle with a shrunken head, and you will do nothing if it is not your business. This official can even say that it is precisely with your connivance and acquiescence that these people dare to be so arrogant and domineering, and the reputation of the yamen is extremely stinky, and you also have a share of the credit. Why is it wrong for the official to scold, do you still feel wronged, right, you are not wronged at all. ”

Hundreds of people who stood up and complained loudly sat down with red faces. Yes, what Lord Fang said is not true. They endured and remained silent for a long time, and they didn't dare to stop and speak out at all, just as turtles with shrunken heads, and what qualifications did they have to stand up and defend themselves.

Fang Zi'an glanced at the audience coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Of course, it seems that this official shouldn't blame you for not doing bad things. The reason why this official is angry is because you don't have the courage to stand up at all, and you don't have the heart to defend yourself and the yamen. The reputation of the yamen stinks, and you are also rotten. Everyone, who is in the yamen of the defense army, is a part of it. If someone makes a bad name for the Yamen of the Defense Army, they are making a bad name for you. It's like when someone on the bed in your house, you pinch your nose and pretend not to see, and afterwards say that I did anyway, can you say thisOf course, some people will say that they are forced by the situation and dare not stand up, they will be retaliated against, and they will be persecuted, so they dare not speak out. I understand what you're thinking, and no one wants to get into trouble. But the problem is that you don't dare to resist when others infringe on your head, what is the meaning of your life, a manly man, standing up to the sky and the earth, and being upright and fearless. Your wives and children think of you as a man they look up to, and you are proud even before them, but if they know that you are so spineless, they will die of shame. What do your sons and daughters think of you, can they hold up their heads in front of people, and if you lose a bowl and a big scar on your head, everyone will die, and you will be a turtle with a shrunken head because you are afraid, and what are you doing with your life in vain? ”

When these words came out, the audience was silent. A lot of people have their heads down to the crotch of their pants. I was ashamed.

Fang Zi'an sighed, slowed down and said, "Of course, after all, you are not the main culprit in this situation, at best, you are only conniving accomplices. What is really hateful are those dogs who act for the tiger, lose their humanity, and endanger the people. They are among you at the moment, and there are quite a few of them. Don't think that the official doesn't know who you are, the official has a clear eye in his eyes, and the official knows everything about your background. Whoever has shit on their buttocks and blood on their hands, the official knows it well, and he has an account in his heart. ”

Many people in the crowd were pale, like pins and needles, and they didn't know what to do. These people are all used to be Xia Liangdong's accomplices and accomplices, who have done things of bullying, fraud, robbery, and even arson, and now listening to Fang Zi'an's tone, it seems that they have the meaning of settling accounts after the autumn, of course, they are uncertain.
