When the trumpet sounded to the twenty-fifth sound, a group of generals finally hurried in, and dozens of soldiers shouted and waved leather whips to drive the common people blocking the street out of a small road, and let the generals gallop wildly. In an instant, the avenue facing the prefect's yamen was lined with the generals' own soldiers, and the people timidly retreated into the distance, and some young people climbed up to the rooftop treetops and looked at this side from afar.

Lin Feng smiled and ordered his generals to sit down one by one, but he didn't mention the reason for gathering the generals at all, just turned his head and made fun of those old men.

"Da Shuai......" Liu Laosi was the most impatient, and couldn't help but stand up and say, "I don't know what happened to Da Shuai looking for us?" Is there an emergency military situation! ”

"Oh?! Fourth, come on, come on, there is a Mr. Liu here, hey, he is really full of poetry and books, and his knowledge is extraordinary, it is your own family, why don't you come and get close! ”

Liu Laosi was dumbfounded, turned his head and looked at the old men contemptuously, "Dashuai, my old Liu has always only known how to fight hard, I don't know a basket of big words, so I should be exempted from learning or something!" ”

Lin Feng said in surprise when he heard this, "How is it possible?!" He looked at Liu Laosi with a smile, "Fourth, your army is stationed in the west of the city, right?!" This old gentleman praised me a lot just now, your soldiers are all diligent and studious, and they are really a model for the whole army of my Han army!! ”

Liu Laosi opened his mouth wide, and he really didn't know where to start.

Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand, "I said the fourth, you don't have to be modest, Mr. Liu told me just now, your soldiers admire Mr. Liu and their knowledge, as soon as they entered the city, they ran to their house together, you see, tsk...... These old gentlemen came over to thank me right away! So many apprentices were sent to them at once, and even the neighbors on their street were full! He looked at Liu Laosi with mocking eyes, "Tut...... Fourth, you have made a great contribution to educating the people and preaching the words of the saints this time! ”

Looking at Lin Feng who was smiling and groaning, Liu Laosi's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and large beads of sweat seeped out of his head, and he stammered, "...... This is ...... When the brothers entered the city...... I ordered the arrest of the families of the Eight Banners...... This, this, some misunderstandings, there are still some ......"

Lin Feng put away his smile and said, "We used to set up military regulations when we were training, is there a clause in it that 'it is strictly forbidden to rob the people and rape ** women?!" ”

Liu Laosi's knees weakened, he knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Some ......" Having said that, he was quite unconvinced in his heart, this kind of military regulations are available in that army, but it is really on the ground, and it is not the same when it is time to rob it? !

"So you knowingly committed it?!" Lin Feng frowned, and said kindly, "Fourth, you tell me the truth, are you very short of money?" - Do your brothers have no money to spend?! ”

Liu Laosi lowered his head and made no sound. The Han army has been financially abundant since it became an army, and the treatment of the soldiers is also excellent, the green camp army of the Qing court has a monthly salary of one or two or five yuan, and the maximum amount that can be obtained after layers of water is only eight or nine yuan, while the Han army has nearly doubled, and the soldiers have a monthly salary of three or two two yuan, and because the new army has recently become an army, the structure is simple, and the officers do not dare to discount. Now that Lin Feng suddenly pulled up this article, Liu Laosi really felt that he had nothing to say.

"yes, it's the same old saying - what do you want? Houses, fields, women, status, what I didn't think about? I really can't think of why you want to mess with the people! Lin Feng slapped the table angrily, "Tell me about Lao Tzu on your dog day, if you can tell a reason, forget it!" ”

“……”

Lin Feng was expressionless, looking around at the generals, and the officers lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at him, "If we are in charge of robbing the common people, why bother doing such a thing, the people of Jingshi are richer, we can grab enough of them, and we don't take the risk-right, everyone?!" His face sank, and he said angrily, "Look at your goosebumps, how many times have I told you?" We are now the official army of the Han Dynasty, not bandits, you are all generals now, not bandit leaders, do you know? - If we become the climate, all of you here will be my generals - not only will you be made a marquis, but you will also be released to be a governor and governor, not only will you get rich, but your sons and grandchildren will be happy! Fuck you guys scattered the ducks with such a little bit of rope head today, I said, are you a little cheap? Lin Feng looked at them with eyes that hated iron and steel, and bowed his head to Liu Laosi, "Fourth, do you have anything to say?!" ”

"......" Liu Laosi kowtowed a few times stiffly, and said nothing.

"Pass the order, except for the commander of the Chinese army, all other troops will go out of the city and camp!" Lin Feng slowed down his voice and turned his head to Zhou Pei and said fairly, "Pei Gong, you take two thousand soldiers, find the common people who have been harmed to identify the bastards who committed crimes, and the bastards who committed crimes are all arrested by Lao Tzu!" ”

"Marshal......" Zhou Peigong looked worried, bowed down and said, "I see if it is better to slow down first, at this time, I am afraid that the army's heart ......will change."

"......" Lin Feng slapped the table and said contemptuously, "Lao Tzu has the ability to turn them from mud legs into soldiers, and he has the ability to turn them from soldiers to dead people - you let go and catch them, and those who dare to resist will be killed," he sneered and glanced at the generals in the army, "What do you say Lao Tzu doesn't dare to do?" If you are not convinced, you might as well pull out the team to fight, hehe, who is Lao Tzu afraid of?! ”

The officers, along with Zhou Peigong, were shocked, and they all jumped up and fell to their knees, "Commander...... Humble swear allegiance to the death, no other heart! ”

"Okay, okay, Lao Tzu also said it casually!" Lin Feng helped Zhou Peigong up, "Peigong, let's arrest people, if we want to fight the world, this level must be passed!" ”

The other generals did not get Lin Feng's order, knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads, Lin Feng shouted, "Someone is coming!! …… Give me Liu Laosi ......"

Before the words ......came out, the officers raised their heads one after another, Zhao Guangyuan took a few steps on his knees, grabbed Lin Feng's placket, and pleaded with a crying voice, "You can't, the fourth son is just grumpy, you leave him alive and allow him to make meritorious service ...... his crimes."

Lin Feng was stunned, then laughed dumbly, broke free from Zhao Guangyuan's hand, and reprimanded angrily, "When did Lao Tzu say that he was going to kill him?!" Fuck - the old four thousand is not ten thousand, it is always Lao Tzu who brought it out of Linji County, it is the old brother who exchanged his life, and he still reminds you bastards?! ”

Liu Laosi lay on the ground, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and his heart was very moved, only to hear Lin Feng say gently, "Fourth, this time it's not that I don't talk about friendship, you connived at your subordinates to lead the troops ineffectively, and committed a serious crime, and the death penalty can be spared from the crime of living and unforgiving, come - drag me out and beat eighty military sticks, Liu Laosi removed the position of army commander and demoted to brigade commander, and stayed in his original post to wear the crime and make meritorious service!" ”

Liu Laosi thanked him, and then was dragged away by his own soldiers, and soon the sound of "poof" sticks into the flesh came, and the faces of the officers were solemn, and the military commander reported the number one by one, but Liu Laosi was very tough, and he didn't say a word.

"**Sheng, Zhao Guangyuan," Lin Feng stood in the middle with his hands on his back, "After the two of you go back, you will each send 500 soldiers with clean net worth, clean hands and feet, and report to the Chinese army, from today on, I will draw people from all armies to form a 'gendarmerie department', which will be led by the commander himself, and will be in charge of military appearance and military discipline - you should be careful in the future, if you violate military law again, it will not be a 'beauty difference' like beating a military stick!" ”

The arrest work was very difficult, to Lin Feng's surprise, in fact, he had already made the worst estimate, but the Han army involved in the case this time was more than expected, after a night and a half days of identification and arrest, by noon the next day, more than 2,400 officers and soldiers were arrested by the military police and escorted to the school to wait for the fate.

Looking at the black pressure of criminals below, Lin Feng suddenly felt a little afraid, how long had his troops only been in the city? In less than three hours, at most, even half a day's work, these guys actually did everything, if it was delayed for another day or two, I really can't imagine what Tianjin City would become.

After Zhou Peigong's careful investigation and accounting, the most severely damaged in Tianjin were the families of the Eight Banners in the west of the city, followed by other residents close to the family settlements, among which nearly 700 women were raped, and more than 200 men were killed by the Han army in the resistance to robbery, and more than 1,000 houses were burned. The exact number of other financial losses has become difficult to determine.

The cause of large-scale crime is on the families of the Eight Banners, when Liu Laosi ordered the purge, his soldiers began to rob on a large scale, of course, this kind of happy behavior is very addictive, after the scourge of the families of the Eight Banners, they could not hold back and began to deal with other residents nearby, at the same time, this crime spread quickly to other armies like a vicious infectious disease, and the soldiers joined the robbery ranks under their infection.

Lin Feng stood on the high platform of the school yard and loudly announced the punishment of the soldiers who committed the crime: all soldiers who committed "flower cases" (i.e., rape cases) and murder cases were to be beheaded, dozens of soldiers who took the lead in burning houses were beheaded, those who robbed more than 20 taels of silver were beheaded, and other soldiers were each sentenced to 40 military sticks to set an example. In addition, the damaged people were compensated by the Han army according to the size of the losses.

When the gendarmerie pulled these soldiers out for execution, the people of Tianjin who were watching from the periphery of the field cheered, but at this moment of justice, dozens of officers and soldiers who were tied up desperately struggled to crowd forward, shouting injustice to Lin Feng on the stage, dozens of people even knocked over a row of gendarmes next to them, under their shouting, other soldiers were like waking up from a big dream, struggling to shout loudly, the gendarmes were busy pulling desperately, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.

Lin Feng frowned, ordered the execution to be suspended, stepped down from the stage, and said to the officer who took the lead in shouting grievances, "What else do you have to explain, say!" ”

The officer broke away from the gendarme, stumbled and fell to his knees, and cried out, "Wronged, handsome! …… The brothers of our company were ordered to suppress the families of the Eight Banners! - We are acting on the orders of General Liu! ”

Lin Feng sneered, "General Liu ordered you to suppress the Eight Banners, but did he ever make you engage in women and rob silver?!" ”

The officer was speechless for a moment, then his face turned red, and he suddenly struggled to stand up, and said angrily, "Dashuai, our brothers risked their lives to follow you to fight the Tartars—how many people have been killed by those Tartars, and how many women have been harmed, can't the old men kill him once?" His eyes widened, he was so angry that he almost burst into flames, and for a moment he forgot Lin Feng's identity, and shouted angrily, "Whose handsome family are you?" Who the hell is your heart heading?! ”

Lin Feng was stunned, looking at this angry man in a daze, he didn't know what to say for a while, he was silent for a long time, and said gently, "What's your name?" Where are you from?! ”

After the big man vented his anger, he saw Lin Feng staring at him, and under the prestige, he didn't feel timid in his heart, his knees were weak and he knelt down again, and said in a low voice, "My name is Yu Daye, yes...... It's a Yangzhou ......"

"Yangzhou ......" Lin Feng silently recited the name of the place, suddenly pulled out his saber, cut the rope on Yu Daye's body with one sword, and whispered to Zhou Pei beside him, "Pei Gong, let go of the soldiers who committed crimes against the Eight Banners!" ”

Hearing this order, Zhou Peigong's gloomy face actually showed a little smile, and he said happily, "Handsome and wise!" ”

Lin Feng sighed, only then did he understand a little, even people like Zhou Peigong were so hostile to the Eight Banners, which showed the hearts of the people nowadays, he turned his head to look at Yu Daye, "Your title is company commander, right?" ”

Yu Daye moved his wrist slightly, leaned on the ground and kowtowed, "I am the commander of the third company of the sixth battalion of the second brigade under General Liu!" ”

Lin Feng helped him up and said kindly, "Daye, do you know why I killed those Eight Banner nobles, but I raised those ordinary dependents?!" ”

Yu Daye said blankly, "Dashuai is clever...... I'm just a company commander...... I ......"

"If nothing else, those guys are just because their hands are full of blood, so I paid for the bloody debts!" Lin Feng sighed leisurely, "But those blood debts have little to do with ordinary Eight Banner dependents, so I only confiscated their family property and asked them to work to pay it back!" ”

Yu Daye said angrily, "But the Tartar is not so kind!" They were ......"

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "This is to the point, we can't learn from them, we are the people of the Han Dynasty, they are barbarians, we are civilized people, we are educated by poetry and books, and we are different from them, do you know?" - You said you were bitten by a dog, do you want to bite back?! Seeing Yu Daye's thoughtful look, Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder, "If there are Eight Banner soldiers fighting against us on the battlefield, then we will not be ambiguous, let's kill one by one, and kill two and a pair, but those women and children, we still can't do harm, you must know that people must not learn from beasts!" ”

Yu Daye was still unconvinced, and said strongly, "The handsome man is benevolent and righteous, and he is admired by his humble duties, but as the saying goes, it is ...... to eliminate evil."

Lin Feng's face changed, and he said, "Company Commander Yu, this is my order—do you want to disobey?!" He turned around and ignored him, and shouted, "The soldiers who committed the crime against the Eight Banners just now just didn't know the military order, so let's spare one life, and drag all of them down and beat eighty military sticks as punishment!" In the future, if anyone harms the people, whether it is the family members of the Eight Banners or the people of the Great Han, they will all be beheaded for public display!! ”

Before the words fell, more than 100 death row prisoners jumped up violently, and shouted thank you to Lin Fengshan together, at this moment, someone in the crowd watching outside the school suddenly laughed, came out of the crowd, against the guns of the gendarmes, and mocked from afar, "So majestic and handsome, so soft-hearted!" ”

Lin Feng turned around in surprise, this person was wearing a broken straw hat, covering half of his face, but he was wearing a good set of long shirts, refreshing, neat and flawless, Lin Feng waved his hand to the military police who maintained order, frowned and said, "Who are you?!" ”

Waiting for the gendarmes to get out of the way, the man slowly walked into the school yard and took off his broken straw hat, "I am the county guard here, the prefect of Tianjin in the Qing Dynasty, and Naland!" Word by word, his eyes burned, looking directly at Lin Feng, his eyes were full of hatred.

The gendarmes around him were slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, and without waiting for Lin Feng's order, they rushed up and tied him firmly.
