Chapter 026: Liquidation
On this day, the bank of Tuoshui outside Hejian City in Hejian County was already crowded with people, and the people in the county almost poured out of the city, and hundreds of thousands of people crowded on the river beach that was ten miles long, and the voices of the people were boiling.
More than 100,000 captives were also escorted by the army, and their eyes were frightened to see more than 7,000 bandits kneeling on the river beach.
These people have their hands and feet tied, their mouths are gagged, and most of them are so frightened that they collapse on the riverbank, these are all evil bandits, burning, killing, looting, raping ** women, and committing many evil deeds, although the law does not blame the public, but the evil ones cannot escape punishment.
Behind them stood a Sui soldier, each holding a horizontal knife, waiting for the order to behead, at this time, Yang Tong appeared on the shore surrounded by two hundred Xuanjia soldiers.
Walking on the high platform that was erected, Yang Tong said loudly to these people: "Those by the river are all extremely evil bandits, I, Yang Tong, will kill them today, and give an explanation to all the people who have been humiliated and unfortunately died." ”
The blazing sun shone on Yang Tong, reflecting him as domineering and unparalleled.
The battle of Wudeshan completely destroyed the main rebellion of Hebei Province, and the thieves such as Gao Kaidao, Zhang Junli, Gao Tansheng, and Zhang Jinshu have died in the war! Although Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin don't know life and death, Yang Tong will never give them the soil to breed.
And now, the public slaughter of the most vicious people is, first, to give an account to the people, so that they believe that the court is capable of dealing with the real evildoers; The second is to tell them that the villains you are afraid of are dead and can live a normal life; The third is to make an example of the more than 100,000 captives.
Yang Tong glanced at the sky and said loudly: "Chop!" ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The dull drum sounded, and hundreds of thousands of people boiled and shouted, "Kill them!" Kill them! ”
At this time, a snowy horizontal knife was slashed down, the head rolled off, and blood spurted out!
More than 7,300 bandits were all killed on the shore of Tuoshui, and hundreds of thousands of people suddenly burst into cheers, and the cheers soared into the sky.
After the people calmed down, Yang Tong said: "In the past few years, in the 20 counties and 166 counties of Hebei Province, there have been many, many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who not only exploited the people, but also colluded with the bandits and brought disaster to the people of the same township. Today! On behalf of the imperial court, this king will give you an explanation. ”
After a while, the Sui army introduced more than 1,600 unjudicial officials.
The corners of Yang Tong's mouth lifted a slight arc, there are actually only more than 600 officials here, and 1,000 of them are bandits who have done a lot of evil deeds, he put on official uniforms for these people and pushed them out together, the purpose is to increase the people's confidence in the 'new government'!
"Slash!"
This kill, Tuoshui is bloody.
This killing, the people of the river, clapped their hands.
This kill shocked Hebei Province.
Yang Tong's methods are iron-blooded and ruthless, and there are so many illegal 'officials' that he kills are definitely the first in Hebei Province.
There is a punishment, and naturally there is a prize!
"Qinghe Tongshou Yang Shanhui, Pingyuan Tongshou Yang Yuanhong, Hejian County Cheng Wang Cong, Xindu County Cheng Gao Yaxian, performed outstanding in the anti-thief action, no matter how difficult it was, always loyal to their duties, diligent and loving the people, and was promoted to the county guard!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Yang Shanhui, Yang Yuanhong, Wang Cong, and Gao Yaxian were beaming with joy and respectfully took the big seal from Yang Tong.
"I hope you keep up the good work! Serve the people in your new position! ”
"Do your best, and then die!" The four of them roared with all their might.
The people of Hejian don't know Yang Shanhui, Yang Yuanhong, and Gao Yaxian, but they know that Wang Cong is honest and honest, loyal to his duties, and proficient in military affairs. First, when they saw the death of corrupt officials, and then when they saw good officials promoted, everyone cheered with the warmest.
"Su Yong, a righteous soldier of Xindu, led the county soldiers to crusade against the thief crown for the state and county, sacrificed bravely, and posthumously presented Xindu County, invited a doctor, and paid a thousand taels of gold... His son Su Dingfang is brave and good at fighting, and he is extremely courageous. At the age of fifteen, he inherited his deceased father's will, and took the lead in charging many times, first breaking the Qinghe rebel leader Zhang Jincheng in the south of the county, and then defeating the leader of the Handan rebel Yang Gongqing in the west of the county! Because of his merit, he was canonized as a five-grade tiger general, and the bounty was five hundred! ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Lie burst into tears and stepped forward to take away the glory that belonged to his father and himself.
"The righteous man Wei Zheng has meritorious service in guarding Wuyang County, and he was canonized as the squire of the Criminal Department of Xingtai Province of Hebei Province, with a bounty of five hundred!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wei Zheng was also very excited!
"Qinghe righteous Meng Ren, when the thief army attacked Qinghe, risked death to send a letter, and finally unfortunately died at the hands of the thief, posthumously named the court doctor, a hundred taels of gold, his son Meng Rong, raised by the imperial court, and free to study Yixue!"
The people rejoiced again!
"Righteous Ancient Yue ......"
“……”
After Yang Tong rewarded 100 folk righteous people in one go, he said loudly: "Due to the time relationship, I will not read them one by one, and the rest of the meritorious people will be rewarded. ”
This time, the call is even louder.
Life is a lifetime of grass and trees, and what you need is the word fame and fortune.
The pursuit of fame and fortune is the goal of most people's lives, and how many people can really be indifferent to fame and fortune?
Although it is said that the deceased is gone.
However, Yang Tong's generous rewards for meritorious people have aroused heated discussions!
How to keep the county chronicles, the stone to remember the merits, and the immortal rewards, not to make others envious?
Officials at all levels have taken this as an example of motivation in life, and they are all energetic and diligent in government affairs. And the people will also take this as an example and strive to be a good person!
Seeing the excited people, Yang Tong knew that his actions had played an advertising role, and it would not be long before his image of clear rewards and punishments would spread throughout Hebei Province, so that the people in dire straits would have more hope for the future.
.........
The jubilation of the day finally quieted down as night fell, and the blood of more than 7,000 bandits and more than 1,600 unjust officials still flowed by the river, and the hatred dissipated, and the scars of humiliation needed time to heal slowly, and I believe that more people will be sleepless tonight, thinking about their future lives, after all, living is the reality that will be faced.
In the county office, the lights are bright.
Yang Tong sat on the main seat, and Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, Wei Zheng, Pei Renji, Yang Shanhui, Yang Yuanhong, Gao Yaxian, Wang Cong, Huangfu Wuyi, Kong Yingda, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda and other civil and military forces were all there.
Everyone gathered together to urgently discuss the post-war reconstruction work and strive to implement the spring ploughing.
"How's the arrangement on the part of the officials?" Yang Tong asked Yang Gongren.
"The county commanders, county officials, county lieutenants, gongcao, and chief bookkeepers of the twenty counties have all been replaced with reserve officials, and they finally looked forward to the opportunity, and because of the sense of crisis brought about by the 'probationary system', they were all extremely attentive."
During this period of time, Yang Tong fought in the front, Yang Gongren caught the officials of Shanggu County and thirteen counties south of Zhuo County in the back, Hebei Province was in chaos for seven or eight years, and those who were loyal to the court had already died almost, and those who were alive were leading the court and Lu, but they were the guys who responded to the chaos and bandits, of course, because they saved the lives of the local people, but in the face of the major rights and wrongs, Yang Gongren was not polite at all, either he caught the river and beheaded him, or he was dismissed from the investigation office and blasted out of Hebei Province.
"Reserve officials have no political experience, so they won't mess up the place, right?" Yang Tong said worriedly.
"Your Highness, rest assured!" Yang Gongren smiled: "The candidates I picked are all people with excellent performance, and there may be mistakes, but they will never become more and more chaotic." ”
"Small mistakes are inevitable, and I can tolerate them."
Yang Tong didn't have any worries about Yang Gongren, and then asked Yang Shidao: "Have the victims from Henan Province been counted?" ”
At this time, Yang Shidao, skinny and edged, he is the waiter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in charge of the resettlement of the victims, a little wind and grass are afraid of those homeless people making trouble, every day restless, restless food and accommodation, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and there is no longer the previous elegant look, but the pressure is high, and the growth is also very rapid, and he has a little more calm temperament than at the beginning.
"According to the registration statistics from Henan Province, so far, there are about 838,000 households that have moved into Hebei Province, with a total population of more than 3.2 million, according to His Highness's plan. These populations are all arranged in the three counties of Qinghe, Zhao County, and Boling, with 500 households as one village, ten acres of land per capita, and one village chief and two deputy village heads to mediate disputes! Qinghe County and Zhao County are large counties, each with 350,000 households, and the rest are all in Boling. ”
Yang Shidao didn't read the scrolls either, and reported to Yang Tong some basic situations in Hebei Province today: "The population of Qinghe and Zhao County is more prosperous and sufficient than before the war, and there is no extra land, and the new population can only obtain land through land reclamation in the future!" The grain seeds have been distributed, and the people are now seizing the time to cultivate their fields, and this year's agricultural season will not be delayed. Every day, a large number of young people participate in the repair and excavation of rivers and canals, and when the agricultural time is over, they will repair the city walls, roads, and strengthen the embankments! ”
The role and speed of Yang Shidao's resolute and resolute action made Yang Tong amazed: "Fortunately, Mr. Shidao came to vote!" Otherwise, the situation would not be so good and so fast. ”
"It's also His Highness's precise and clear plan, I'm just drawing a scoop from a gourd!" Yang Shidao smiled modestly.
"Qinghe, Zhao County, and Boling are the key counties for the resettlement of disaster victims, and they are the most problem-prone places.
Yang Tong continued: "But Zhao County and Boling lack a county guard to preside over major affairs, so I decided to let Lord Huangfu transfer to Zhao County and Lord Yang Yuanhong to transfer to Boling,"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!" Yang Shanhui, Huangfu Wuyi, and Yang Yuanhong solemnly responded to the order.
"The resettlement of the people is the top priority, if it is not handled well, there will be a big mess! All the county keepers must treat this matter as if it were a bloody battle! ”
"Whoa!" The crowd obeyed.
