Chapter 30: Fan Butcher
Then, Fan Li ordered these soldiers under his command to use horse-drawn carriages to pull these cages containing prisoners around the streets, showing the people the discomfort and misery of these criminals in the cages.
For these criminals, I don't care if you are in the cold and hot winter of 369, I will pull these criminals in the cage while beating gongs and drums for the people to gather to watch!
The common people are all melon-eating people, so they come around to see the excitement, and when they ask what they are doing, they are miserable! Then someone in the GI explained: Everyone, look at it, these are bandits and thieves who have been caught, and they are bad people! This is what will happen to them, everyone should take warning, cultivate the land well, and don't do bad things!
Then these bandits were dragged all over the streets in cages during the day, exposed to the sun or frozen for a day, thirsty and hungry. Of course, sometimes I occasionally meet a particularly tough, villain like a hero, who scolds there when he is put into a standing cage to parade on the street: his head has fallen off a bowl and a big scar, and after eighteen years, Lao Tzu is a good man again, what can you do with me......
Although on the first day of the tour, these heroes may be able to hold up without food or drink, but on the second day, they were dragged to the street, and on the third day, I was dragged to the street.
And at night I just put you on the side of the road and it's over, and I don't even untie the cage at night, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind and rain, you just stay inside, what mosquitoes, insects, ants, bites, I care about you? Even if it's and pee, I don't care about you!
After tossing like this, basically from the next day, these heroes began to wail, and after a while, they didn't even have the strength to cry or scream, they were dying, and basically within four or five days, these prisoners would die tragically in the cage!
But Fan Li did this to serve as a deterrent to the people of the city. So his ten standing cages are not idle every day, this one is dead, take out the corpse, change another one in, I don't even clean the cage, just stuff people inside, lift and clamp and hang you inside like bacon jerky!
There are all the body fluids and meat foam left by the dead prisoners in it, and I don't care so much about you, just continue to parade the streets, and when I die, I will change the next one in!
Just like this, this cage is loaded with prisoners swimming in Huzhou City, you say that the people can not be stunned after seeing it? What would he think: I'm a mother, this is too scary, I haven't experienced this since I was a child, they all say that the king of Shang is ruthless, and this fan fence is not much worse than the king of Shang! This, this...... How can this still treat people as human beings?
So many people wrote to Governor Zhang Liangqing to tell Fan Li, but can Zhang Liangqing manage it? It doesn't work! These things were discussed by the two of them before.
Zhang Liangqing not only didn't care, but looked at the effect: First, have the soldiers been trained? Have you practiced all the drills every day? Second, before Fan Liang came, was Huzhou City in chaos? After coming, is Huzhou City still in chaos? Have all the bandits been caught?
Just look at it! Soldiers, soldiers are trained! Bandits, bandits have been arrested! The security of Huzhou City has improved! The governor doesn't care what you sue!
So in this case, the people of Huzhou City gave Fan Liang a name, called: Fan Butcher! Everyone spreads: Don't commit it in the hands of Butcher Fan, otherwise he will kill you in a minute! It's just that Fan Liang kills people too ruthlessly, kills too many people, and if something happens to him, he will kill you!
Speaking of which, it seems that Fan Li is very comfortable and beautiful in Huzhou City, and he feels that he was born to do this.
However, in fact, there is indispensable Gao Ji here to give Fan Li a back and do logistics work for him, so that he can train with peace of mind.
For example, where does this money come from? So old soldiers, three meals a day, and the reward you gave others to catch bandits, you think it fell from the sky? And you made the people of Huzhou City angry, who settled these complaints for you? What else is the transfer of personnel, the use of troops, the funding and the coordination of the relationship between various localities, aren't these all planned and solved for him by Gao Ji in the back!
Moreover, Fan Liang suddenly started to lead troops and train soldiers from a literati, that is, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know how to do it or where to start, and Fan Liang also wrote to the emperor and said: I want to expand the army!
Why can the emperor agree to your expansion, doesn't the imperial court prevent you from supporting the army and respecting yourself? Moreover, since ancient times, the imperial court has been particularly taboo against officials who hold military power, and has maintained a very cautious and cautious attitude. You said that Fan Li was loyal to the court for a lifetime, but who believed it? These soldiers are all trained by you, they are all brought by you, and they will only listen to you, and they have no sense of country or court.
So Gao Ji communicated with him and recommended a noble officer named Ji Bu to Fan Li, so that he would have a noble officer to do things for him and come out, and the court's wariness of Fan Li would be minimized.
and Zhang Liangqing also sent a letter to the imperial court, that is, he begged for a guarantee that Fan Liang should continue to train and expand the army, because these people are still too few, and it is not enough to fight a war. Who wrote Zhang Liangqing's letter? Isn't it written by Gao Ji!
That's why the training went so smoothly. It is not the credit of Fan Li alone, but the result of the unity and cooperation of Fan Li, Gao Ji and Zhang Liangqing, especially the result of cooperation with Gao Ji!
But the situation didn't give too much time for Fan Li and Gao Ji to cooperate with each other, because at this time, the rebel army was established!
At the same time, in addition to appointing Fan Li as the assistant minister, it also engaged in nine provinces and appointed more than 40 assistant ministers in a row, the purpose was to quickly train the soldiers to fight the rebel army!
However, after all, it takes time to train troops, and I can't say that I have recruited people to train today, and I will be able to send them out to fight tomorrow.
At this time, the reason why the rebel army dared to establish a country was that they were not afraid of you coming to attack, and they continued to attack the city, and they beat the city of Wuzhou while fighting. When the news reached the emperor's ears, the emperor was furious and directly removed the governor of Wuzhou, and then transferred Zhang Liangqing, the governor of Huzhou, who had experience in successfully defending the city, and asked him to preside over the battle.
As soon as Zhang Liangqing leaves, he must bring the team around him over, Zhong Yuan is Zhang Liangqing's left and right hand when he was fighting, so he brought Zhong Yuan and his Chu soldiers over, and the soldiers trained by Fan Liang in ordinary times were basically supplemented to Zhong Yuan's Chu soldiers, so as soon as Zhong Yuan left, he took away most of the soldiers that Fan Liang had trained with great difficulty.
