Song Hanchen, who was still very calm when he knelt, was shocked and felt bad.

He peeked at Zhao Lian, and saw Zhao Lian's murderous eyes, knowing that he was afraid that he would lose his head today, and the whole house would suffer, relying on his relatives in the court to collude with the ministers as backers, he simply got up and shouted: "The last general will be wronged." The end will be to the imperial court"

Zhao Lian stared at him disdainfully, ignoring the threat at all, and waved his hand on the table lightly.

Jiao Ting stepped out, stepped forward quickly, sneered and punched Song Hanchen in the face several times, easily knocked Meng down, kicked off the helmet, and dragged Song Hanchen out like a dying and struggling dog.

Song Benchen, who was about to freeze to death outside the door, was also taken down.

Subsequently, Xiao Rang announced the guilt of the other officers and their families. Together with the important members of Cangcao who colluded to resell military funds, and the cronies and accomplices of the officials of the Xiang army in the army, they were all taken down.

Soon, Xue Liang, the new chief arrester, escorted hundreds of officials and accomplices, family members, and evil slaves to hand over the order.

The new general judgment and the prison army, whose power is second only to Zhao Lian, pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not squeak.

Wang Huan couldn't figure out Zhao Lian's intentions for a while, and he didn't dare to make trouble alone.

Beat the drums again and gather troops.

Zhao Lian came to the point of general, glanced at the beggar army who was barely lined up in the cold wind and snow, and said loudly: "I can see it clearly, this official is the new governor and defense envoy Zhao Gonglian, you should have heard of it, and you will recognize it in the future." ”

There was a commotion in the Xiang army, looking at the upright and heroic supreme leader on the stage, and at the arrested Shangguan colleagues, some were excited and looking forward to something, but most of them were insensitive, just shivering.

Zhao Lian pressed his hand, and the commotion stopped.

"This official is ordered to prepare the military and political affairs of Cangzhou, protect the territory and the people, and deal with the strong enemy. As a part of the army, the main force will also be a regular army on the battlefield in the future, and the treatment is equivalent to that of the forbidden army. You have seen it, and you have been caught all the evils that do not treat you as human beings. The vacant positions will be selected from the entire army in Cangzhou, including you. Now, whoever has the ability to do his job, and who has the courage to help his officials punish the sinful, stand up. ”

There was another commotion on the sidelines. It's really daring.

A thin man dressed in tatters squeezed out of the queue, knelt down in front of the stage, and reported loudly: "The villain box soldier thunderstorm dares to be." ”

said loudly, but his voice trembled slightly, obviously scared, but he was suffering enough, knowing that Cangzhao was compassionate and trustworthy, and he had a fight for the sake of his family who was hungry and cold.

"Good. It's a man. ”

Zhao Lian knew that this person was useful, and pointed at Song Hanchen, who was still struggling in vain: "Down with him, you are the officer of the headquarters." All the money and equipment that Song Hanchen brought with him are yours. ”

The thunderstorm was overjoyed, and he looked at Song Hanchen's gorgeous leather clothes, shining armor, gemstone fingers on his hands, and the money bag precipitated on his waist, and roared: "No." ”

His blood was boiling, his eyes were shining, and he was full of unprecedented strength and hope.

In the snow, the former humble and humiliating pawns and the former invisible generals fought together.

When Song Jiang only talks about martial arts, he basically has two strokes, otherwise it will be difficult to subdue the subordinates who are in direct contact with him with power alone. It is not possible to fight a war, what is lacking is courage and the desire to do one's best for the people.

Song Hanchen knew that it was difficult to be spared, and the trapped beast still fought more and more fiercely, at the beginning he was full of physical strength, and the thunderstorm that was hungry and malnourished in his belly was defeated one after another, but the body of the dog and horse was empty, and he was soon too tired to move his legs, and was beaten by the thunderstorm that was fierce and daring to let go

After Zhao Lian reaffirmed, Thunderstorm hatefully stripped Song Hanchen to only a pair of underwear, untied his torn coat and shoes and forcibly put them on Song Hanchen, and tied Song Hanchen to the stake at the camp gate with a few volunteers to taste the suffering they had suffered for several years, and then happily hugged the booty, went to clear his beard, get a haircut, take a bath, and remove lice, and directly put on Song Hanchen's clothes and armor

Now there are more enthusiastic people in the box. Quite a few are eager to try.

Zhao Lian let them come out to challenge, vent, and loot

The corrupt officials who were beaten and couldn't move were all dressed in the rags of their former subordinates and tied to the stakes at the camp gate.

The important people who were watching saw that Song Hanchen and the others were gradually losing their vitality in the cold wind, and realized that Zhao Lian had no intention of freeing these officers with a single sword, and they were determined to freeze these people to death in order to establish their authority. I couldn't help but be shocked.

Dealing with so many officials at once, this chief not only dares to do it, but also has a hard and ruthless heart.

Sure enough, Zhao Lian ordered: expose the corpse until the weather is warm before it can be burned.

Wang Huan felt that Ren Zhao Lian went wantonly, and he had no good fruit to eat, so he asked in a cold voice: "Lord Zhizhou, although these people are guilty, they are also officials of the imperial court, is it a loss of official majesty and dignity of the imperial court to deal with it like this?" This is not a gentleman's doing. I'm afraid that it will damage the reputation of adults. ”

Zhao Lian didn't pay attention to him at all, and beckoned to Xiao Rang again.

The hearts of the officials sank.

Sure enough, Xiao Rang took out the book again, and Hong Sheng read the two officials' indictments.

This time it was directly Wang Huan's confidant and the general of the forbidden army.

The second general saw that Wang Huan was furious, felt that there was an opportunity to rely on, and wanted to encourage his colleagues to resist together, so he drew his sword and faced each other, but was directly and ruthlessly killed by Jiao Ting and his guards, and turned into a bare pig.

Zhao Lian squinted at Wang Huan and said lightly: "Tell the traitor about decency? How can the decency of a loyal and good general be reflected? ”

Wang Huan was oppressed and despised like this when he was so old, and the conceit and arrogance of the noble and noble children exploded, and the smiling smile on his face finally disappeared completely.

He pulled out half of his sword, glared at Zhao Lian angrily, and yelled at the other forbidden army generals: "This general saw that this new Zhizhou was in a high position at a young age, and he was overjoyed and crazy. Ladies and gentlemen, we are all loyal ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and we must not be allowed to be wantonly brutalized by him. ”

None of the generals are, although they are also afraid that Zhao Lian will kill them for their crimes, but they really want to resist, just look at the tragic death of the two colleagues, and realize the ruthlessness and toughness of the Zhizhou guards, there is not a single soldier under them at this moment, how can they still muster up courage. It's just that there are soldiers, can they really fight against their bosses, which is a rebellion, they have to die if they are justified or not, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to move.

Zhao Lian stepped off the platform, stood in front of Wang Huan, looked down at Wang Huan with his sturdy and tall figure, and sneered: "General Wang, why don't you try if this official is really crazy?" ”

Wang Huan was stunned, his expression was fierce, and he didn't have the courage to really draw his sword to face him.

Zhao Lian slammed his kick on the hilt of his sword. The sword clicked back into its sheath.

Wang Huan was so frightened that he retreated, staring at Zhao Lian in horror, for fear that Zhao Lian would announce his guilt as soon as he waved his hand, or even kill him directly.

Zhao Lian saw through the incompetent and courageless nature of this noble son, approached Wang Huan, forced him to retreat step by step, and left the officials a little farther, before he sneered and whispered: "I read that your ancestor has made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't want to shame your ancestor, so this official doesn't care about you." I don't want you to admit things clearly, not measure yourself, repeatedly provoke the authority of your own officials, and trample on the wishes of the Holy Lord. You say, 'What should the officer do to you?' ”

Hearing this, Wang Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Zhao Lian didn't mean to be a killer in the face, how could he dare to fight to the end, resulting in the real sacrifice of the flag.

Death is over, even if the family can take revenge, or even kill Zhao Lian's entire family, so what?

Swallowing his saliva, his face was tough, but what he said was: "If I cooperate with you to fulfill the holy will, you really don't feel embarrassed?" ”

Zhao Lian smiled.

"You come to the border to gild. What this official wants is also political achievements. We were supposed to be working together. You want to oppose your own officials. Now, this official knows that you have a grudge in your heart, and he doesn't say anything about being in the same boat, you cooperate with the reorganization of armaments and make Cangzhou like an iron bucket. This official will let you go free and keep you promoted. ”

Wang Huan knew that Zhao Lian wanted him to be a puppet or even a dumb man in the army in the future. I was unwilling, but I didn't dare to refuse now, so I had to vaguely approve.

Zhao Lian said lightly: "You don't have to pretend in front of the Ming people. Today's matter, go back and ask your parents for advice. Is it hostile, or cooperative. The officer only looks at your performance. ”

You can use your family connections to react to the emperor and be arrogant, and see if you can bring me down. If you don't get this result, you won't be honest.

Take Wang Huan back and go to the general's stage again.

has achieved a soldier who has the ability but no chance. The other soldiers will not benefit, there will be no motivation, and the essence will not change. It is not enough to give the officials authority.

Zhao Lian did not follow the normal procedures to report for approval and then deal with it, and ordered him to directly behead the corrupt officials and dignitaries of Cangcao, and hang the flagpole together with the heads of the generals of the two forbidden armies for public display. The guilty family members and accomplices were dragged outside the camp and immediately sold, along with other innocent family members and slaves.

The relevant personnel of Cangzhao who had been prepared early came forward to buy them all, and the suffering slaves and maids who were implicated were transferred to Zhaozhuang for training and appointment, and the others were sent to Zou Run, Zou Yuan's uncle and nephew to dig coal to make a living.

Zhao Lian also announced: confiscate the income of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and set up a separate account for the expenses of the army.

In the midst of cheers, Zhao Lian divided the box army into two.

Those who are not suitable for fighting are included in the auxiliary soldiers, and they are still supplied according to the old standards, and they are engaged in breeding and other livelihoods with the families of the Xiangjun in peacetime, so as to change the depressed life. The rest are trained and supplied according to the regular army, and the strong and the inferior are left to become an army.
