Section II
Lin Feng can basically be regarded as ignorant of such a super mysterious subject as people's livelihood and economics, although he is said to come from the incomparably great 21st century, but if a third-rate university graduate can single-handedly plan what kind of tone and frame to determine the future direction of millions of people's struggle, it is definitely an extremely terrible disaster - both for himself and for the people under his rule.
So far, he has no mature development plan at hand, and there are no idealized goals that must be pursued, and now he is very much like a famous song singing, ignorant to follow the feelings, fortunately, as the supreme leader, he does not have to do those very tedious and realistic work, basically only need to sing high-pitched, and then by the way to issue some high-level guiding opinions - of course, this seems a bit shameless, but as a politician, I am afraid that I can't do it without shamelessness.
When the Jin merchants and the Hui merchants jointly rescued the city, Chen Menglei and the spies under the leadership of Li Guangdi, with the cooperation of Li Guangdi, launched the elimination plan with lightning speed, and the unlucky ones who were investigated clearly before fell one after another, and for a time the political air in the entire Gyeonggi area was unprecedentedly tense.
Lin Feng paid enough attention to this rectification movement, and for several days in a row, he personally sat in the lobby of the original Qing Court Criminal Department Yamen to cheer for Chen Menglei, but although the No. 1 chief personally went into battle, this strike hard still had to end in the end.
To be honest, this movement was really a big blow to several idealistic scholars such as Lin Feng and Chen Menglei, although they also tried to imagine the situation as bad as possible, but they also did not expect things to be bad like this. At first, Chen Menglei and Li Guangdi only grasped the criminal situation of a small number of middle- and low-ranking officers, but with the snare of some key criminals, this case has also dug deeper and deeper, and the case has become bigger and bigger.
Like all the peasants who entered the city, the old brothers who followed Lin Feng during this period of time all received a lot of benefits, probably because of the first time to commit this kind of crime, most of them lacked experience in counter-reconnaissance, and these very despicable robberies, plunder, extortion and embezzlement of positions were done unscrupulously, so when these facts were spread out in front of Lin Feng, the high-level officials of the Han army looked at each other and their hearts were beating wildly.
The facts of the case are not complicated in terms of clues, and the depravity trajectory of almost all people is similar, in short, it follows such a straight line: entering the city - changing houses - changing wives - changing wives - making money - making a lot of money......
Judging from the dossier in front of Lin Feng, such a situation really can't be covered up with "stumbling" or "impulsive", the hero of this dossier is Duan Siwen, the commander of the Chinese army company that Lin Feng contacted in Tianjin the day before yesterday, Chen Menglei was extremely responsible for finding all his information, judging from the data, this guy was a very honest farmer in the past, and he belonged to the kind of taciturn who couldn't kick a fart, but I don't know how to do it, After following Lin Feng for a few months of madness, the whole person suddenly changed, now he is rude and extremely greedy, after the Han army occupied Beijing, this guy actually engaged in four little wives in one breath within half a month, forcibly occupied the two courtyards of the original Eight Banners nobles, and also used food and drinking water to blackmail the women and children of the Eight Banners who were imprisoned in the inner city, and at the same time married the little wife at the same time, he actually raped two little girls under the age of twelve in the Yellow Banner, seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but be surprised, It's just a scumbag, this guy's lower body is not ordinarily strong, and such frequent high-intensity sexual exercise is indeed not something that ordinary men can bear.
What is frightening is that in the file in front of Lin Feng, there are very many officers like Duan Siwen, if they want to be executed according to the original plan, I am afraid that the middle and grassroots officers of the Han army will be killed 60 out of 100 people, and to complete this crazy plan, I am afraid it will be possible to mobilize 1~20,000 troops - and after completing this plan, Lin Feng will become an empty commander and completely lose control of the army.
In view of this, the first large-scale anti-corruption struggle of the Han army was stillborn.
When Lin Feng, Li Guangdi, Chen Menglei, Zhou Peigong, and Wang Dahai, the senior general who stayed behind, came out early in the morning, a large number of prisoners who had been arrested and detained a few days ago were acquitted after being severely warned, and then Lin Feng immediately issued an emergency order in the name of the generalissimo of the Han army, and the military police units of the Chinese army were urgently dispatched in the early hours of the morning, carrying this supreme military order to the barracks stationed everywhere.
According to this new military order, Lin Feng and his senior civil and military officials redistributed the rights and interests of these vested interests, and the property plundered by these officers in the capital at the beginning of the establishment of the Han army was ordered to be expropriated, and correspondingly, the government under the management of Li Guangdi organized the account of the value of these expropriated properties, and used administrative means to compensate the newly occupied states, prefectures, and counties. In layman's terms, it is to try to erase the bad image of the Han military class in the political center of the capital, and to dilute and disperse the plundered wealth into the vast occupied areas.
One can imagine what a nasty topic it is for the officers of the Han army to occupy a large number of properties in such a crowded city as Beijing?! - No wonder the Qing court officials spread "rumors" at the beginning of the army, and the common people were so afraid of the expansion of the Han army, it seems that the reputation of this "anti-thief" is indeed not something that can be taken off by killing Kangxi. Moreover, Lin Feng's move of compromising with the soldiers was still very unpleasant in the eyes of Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei, and after Lin Feng gave the last order to the last group of gendarmes, Chen Menglei finally couldn't help but ask, "...... My lord, should this matter, this matter still be discussed? β¦β¦β
"Oh? Zezhen has any good opinions?! Lin Feng looked at Chen Menglei in surprise.
"Lord," Chen Menglei frowned, "...... The subordinates suddenly remembered the past of Li Chuang Dashun in the past......" He glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw that Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly bowed deeply and gave his hand, "...... The Lord forgives sins, as the saying goes: Loyalty is contrary to the ear, and I hope that the Lord can reflect on the three flavors......"
"It's okay, it's okay, I said Zezhen, you still don't know us for so long?" Lin Feng waved his hand and said with a smile, "You mean that these officers of our Han Army have suddenly become rich now, and they will be less timid to fight in the future?" And then our troops won't be able to fight? - Isn't that right?! β
Chen Menglei and Li Guangdi glanced at each other and nodded heavily.
"Hehe, you call this 'dogmatism'...... Cough...... cough ......" Lin Feng hurriedly waved his hand and covered his mouth, "...... Hehe, this dogma...... Forget it," his expression changed, and he said solemnly, "You have all seen the current situation, we have come to this point, it can be said that it is difficult to ride a tiger, and at the moment we don't even dare to confiscate the property of the officers, what else can we talk about purge?" Therefore, the old routine in the art of war book will definitely not work, and we must find another way. β
"But the lord's appeasement is just to quench his thirst by drinking doves, not a long-term plan!!" Li Guangdi smiled bitterly, at this moment he was worried, and couldn't help but retort, "In addition to eroding the martial spirit in the army, we also promote the arrogance of 'them' in this way, if the lord has no military law at all this time, I am afraid that we will attack the city from the back to kill too much, and the name of brutality will be displayed in the public, and then it will be despised by Shilin, and finally follow Zhang Xianzhong's retreat, and be the enemy of the world......"
"Well, to be honest, it's not impossible," Lin Feng looked solemn and nodded honestly in agreement, "But this matter is not without a solution-I said that we will not be different from Li Zicheng, do you believe it or not?!" He looked at the two people who looked puzzled, and smiled, "Actually, some of the property of the junior officers of the army is not all good, I think differently from you - you always think that if these warriors are rich, they will definitely be greedy for life and fear of death and want to live a peaceful life, but I think they will fight to the death to defend their current wealth and social status!" β
"How can we compare to the way King Chuang did it back then? - People basically occupy the entire north, millions of heroes look up to the world, and even the court of the former Ming Dynasty thinks that people are the true sons of heaven and have to change the dynasty, so the whole army has the idea of getting rich and enjoying happiness immediately when the world is peaceful, such a stress-free method, such crazy self-hypnosis, it is strange that he does not die?! Lin Feng pursed his lips and shook his head, "But we are different now, we are still very weak now, in terms of territory and province, in terms of military strength is barely 40,000, and in terms of people looking forward to the rise of our army for only one year, which officer do you say will be so crazy?" Do you think we have no problem calming down the world, or do you think that the day of happiness is coming soon? β¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦ But if these military attachΓ©s have a disadvantage, they will abscond with money," Chen Menglei thought for a moment, "...... This, if the situation is unfavorable, go home and become a rich man, there is no guarantee that they will not think so. β
"Zezhen is right, but this matter depends on your and my performance!" Lin Feng pointed at them and himself, and said solemnly, "Could it be that we really have the capital to afford to lose now?!" - Let's not talk about those clichΓ©s, to be honest, if we fight a big defeat now, and 10,000 or 20,000 people die and throw them into a few state capitals, don't talk about small officers, I'm afraid you and I may not have this idea, in that case, then why be harsh on others?! - So what we can do is to grow our forces, and as princes along the way, the cohesion generated by strong forces is more real than any swear of allegiance. β
He looked at the two civil officials who were thinking about Ruoyou, and said with a smile, "You want to assist me to rule the world, and become a generation of famous ministers in this life, and those officers may not want to follow me to the north and south of the Great Wall, and then leave a name in history, and wait for the prince to be crowned - when will the people's hearts be satisfied?" It turned out that they were the lowliest peasants, but now they are all majestic Han officials, these soldiers who often get to fame and fortune, if they are not a last resort, do you think they will be willing to give up all this incognito and become a rich man?! Lin Feng shook his head and sighed, "You, hehe, you scholars, just like to underestimate martial artists." β
"The Lord is wise...... But in addition, how will the military discipline of our Han Wang Division be cleaned up in the future? ! β
"I was desperately posting everywhere just now, just for this matter!" Lin Feng pointed at Chen Menglei, "Zezhen, and you have to help me take care of this matter - I have just made it clear in the military order, I will write off their confused account today, I have made a name for them, those things that have been robbed, bullied, and extorted are all counted in my Lin Feng account, and they are all rewards I gave them, and I will wash away this thief's name for them today, but it is only today-if there is another one in the future, then take Tianjin as an example, military law is not allowed!" β
ββ¦β¦ This matter is easier said than done......" Chen Menglei wanted to speak and stopped, looking hesitant.
"Wait a minute, please draft a few private letters for me, and send them to the generals who are now leading the army, and explain the reason and reason to them clearly, I believe they are not fools, Zhao Guangyuan, Liu Laosi, these people have all fought with the remnants of Li Zicheng, and they also know what the fate is to condone their subordinates for a while, you wrote it clearly in the letter, Lao Tzu will immediately send my Chinese military police to monitor military discipline - these people are not under their control, but they are not allowed to interfere in other military affairs, so they are all honest with Lao Tzu! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will definitely not be polite to them this time! Lin Feng's voice was fierce, gritted his teeth, looked back at Chen Menglei, who looked nervous, smiled reluctantly, and comforted, "Zezhen doesn't have to be so nervous, isn't there still your propaganda team in every army now?" Now I officially delegate power to you, you send more shrewd and reliable subordinates to mix sand inside, and secretly spy on those officers with criminal records!! - You have to keep it in mind, the methods I just said are just expedient measures, and there is a long way to go to really clean up military discipline, not a matter of one or two days, and your propaganda team is the top priority, it is not only a team to preach government orders to the people, but also a team for us to brainwash the soldiers, whether the soldiers can follow us with an iron heart depends on this thing, do you understand?! β
"......" Chen Menglei opened his mouth wide, his expression was dazed, and he was a little unclear about Lin Feng's concept.
"Forget it, this thing is really a bit evil, I'll teach you carefully when I go back, hehe, it's not that we brag, I can't do anything else, but brainwashing this thing is really handsome!"
"......" looked at Lin Feng's smug face, Chen Menglei and Li Guang looked at each other, Li Guangdi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stepped forward and said, "Lord, this is the thing that was originally scheduled to execute those who collaborated with the enemy?!" β¦β¦β
"Oh! It's still as planned! Lin Feng pinched his nose a little embarrassed, "But ...... This, this Jin Qing, after you go back, you must find a 'top master' to draft a proclamation, just say that these bastards are Tuhai's internal response, this ...... Use...... This gold and silver woman co-opted the officers of our Han army in an attempt to corrupt our 'pure' team, of course, this despicable and shameless plan went bankrupt in the end, so we will raid their homes and destroy them today," Lin Feng flipped through the mountains of files on the table, and carefully picked out a few, "You guys really have to put a little more thought into this matter, and you must fake it to make the people believe it-no, these officers of Duan Siwen and those people pulled it out and cut it together, just say this." A handful of scum can't stand the temptation of the Qing army's internal response and surrender and renegade, becoming stinky shit that despises humanity! Lin Feng smiled slightly, revealing snow-white teeth, "In the past few days, we have conducted a large-scale investigation and arrest, and arrested a lot of people, and it is really unreasonable not to kill a few people!" β
Li Guangdi nodded casually, thinking deeply, he arched his hand towards Lin Feng, and said with a smile, "If the lord has anything else to order, his subordinates will go and handle this errand!" β
"Nothing more orders!" Lin Feng waved his hand casually, "You must remember that this murder is a major case of collaborating with the enemy - neither punishing corruption nor purging military discipline, most of our Han army are pure and immaculate, but a few scum are not firm-minded." β
