Chapter 366: List of False Tang Thieves

As a new army of the Tang Dynasty that has conquered the three cities of Xingquanfu City, Zhengtai County, and Lianhe County, it already has rich experience in occupying the cities that have just been conquered.

After entering the city, the first thing is to carry out a city-wide purge, which is not only aimed at the scattered Ming army, but also against those green-skinned hooligans who take advantage of the chaos to burn and loot, so as to restore law and order and basic people's livelihood in the city.

At the same time, the notice of the Tang Dynasty was posted to let the people know that the city of Liping Mansion here has changed its owner, and as long as you obediently obey the rule and pay taxes, then the safety of your life and property can be guaranteed.

At the same time, the purge of stragglers and hooligans in the city is also to warn the gentry in the city, don't make trouble, don't resist, otherwise the Datang swords and guns will not be polite.

Under the vigorous and resolute suppression of the troops entering the city, it took less than two hours for the entire Liping Province to regain calm.

From the siege in the morning to the return to calm in the afternoon, the whole process lasted less than four hours.

It can be seen that Datang New Army is efficient!

After the military took complete control of the city, on the one hand, it continued to send soldiers to patrol the streets to shock those with bad intentions, and on the other hand, it waited for the officials sent by the subsequent cabinet to arrive and cooperate with them to begin to establish effective administrative rule in the city.

As early as when these two infantry regiments set out for Ri Binh, the cabinet had already sent a considerable number of officials with the army.

In addition to the personnel of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Taxation, which were used to collect taxes and recruit soldiers, the Ministry of Officials and other departments sent relevant officials to establish effective rule in the newly occupied areas as soon as possible and to provide strong support to the front-line army.

The officials on the cabinet side entered the city a little later than Hao Bonian, and it was not until the next day that Sun Yawei, the prefect of Liping Mansion appointed by the Tang Dynasty, arrived in Liping Mansion with his subordinate officials.

When Sun Yawei arrived at Liping Mansion City, looking at the huge Liping Mansion City, he couldn't help but smile on his face, this is the place where he will show his ambitions in the future!

Who can be comparable, he is a person who has failed in the county examination more than ten times from a small school to a big one, and can become a prefect of a prefecture and control hundreds of thousands of people.

Who would have thought?

Those classmates who studied with him in the past often laughed at him for not measuring his own strength, and he had not taken the county examination in his forties, but he still did not give up and was bent on the imperial examination, and thought about becoming an official every day.

Those classmates, those many Zhengtai county magistrates who had not allowed him to pass the county exam in the county exam, including Su Jiakang, would they want to be the honor of the government one day?

I can't even think of breaking their heads!

Ha ha~

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh wildly!

Like many early scholars who defected to the Tang Dynasty, Sun Yawei was also a scumbag, who participated in the imperial examination from his teens and failed to pass the county examination until he was in his forties.

After the rise of the Tang Dynasty last year and the occupation of the vast countryside of Zhengtai County in the first half of this year, he was like some scholars who failed the imperial examination, were depressed, and did not have too many family concerns.

This time, he was awarded the official hat of the sixth grade, served in the household department, and then he worked hard to perform, and he was promoted to the fifth rank of the household department last month.

Half a month ago, when the Tang New Army was preparing to march into Liping Mansion, he also entered the field of vision of those bigwigs together with other cabinet officials, and was ready to select one of them to serve as the prefect of Liping Mansion.

Finally, when His Majesty Li Xuan asked him how he would govern if he served as the prefect of Liping Mansion, Sun Yawei did not say anything like others about cultivating life and rest, persuading farmers, and how to make the people live a prosperous life.

Rather, he said that after he took charge of Liping Province, he would tap all the resources of Liping Province as much as possible and provide all the necessary logistical support for the expansion of the army of the dynasty, including but not limited to the use of forced means to collect grain, grass, silver, and conscription of people to dig iron ore and other minerals.

The purpose of these words was that if he was to be in charge of the province of Liping, then the entire province would become the rear of the army, providing all the necessary supplies.

This answer made Li Xuan quite satisfied!

The answers of the other candidates were too lofty, saying that they should show benevolence and morality, which made Li Xuan quite disgusted.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty is rebelling, it is to fight with the Ming Dynasty, and the future military pressure is extremely great, and the most important or even the only responsibility of local officials is not to improve education and make people's lives better, but to support the military to fight and ensure the logistics of the military.

Therefore, Li Xuan finally chose Sun Yawei as the prefect of Liping Mansion.

After Sun Yawei was promoted to the prefect of Liping Mansion, he became one of the high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty, although his grade was only the fourth grade, but in the Tang Dynasty, there were not many people who could surpass him in terms of grade.

Moreover, considering that the current ruling area of the Tang Dynasty has a total of two prefectures, and Xingquan Mansion is the seat of imperial power, in order to strengthen the rule of Xingquan Mansion, the cabinet has not yet established the prefect of Xingquan Mansion, but is temporarily directly governed by the cabinet.

In other words, the prefect of the Tang Dynasty is actually only Sun Yawei alone.

Today's Sun Yawei is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first feudal official in the Tang Dynasty, although the power is not as big as the prefect of the Ming Dynasty, there is no military power, and there is no financial power, but the civil power is still there.

After entering the city, Sun Yawei first handed over to Hao Bonian, Hao Bonian and their tasks were heavy, but they didn't have much time to waste on the trivial matters of Liping Mansion City, so after the handover, Hao Bonian and Li Chunjing ignored many trivial matters in the city.

The army began to recuperate and then prepared for the next large-scale military operation, as well as sending small forces to clear the resistance in other parts of Le Binh Province.

After Sun Yawei officially arrived, the first day of staying in the Yamen of the prefect of Liping Mansion was to eagerly start his career as a feudal official, first of all, he discussed with the officials sent by the cabinet for half an hour, and hurriedly determined that the administrative organs of three counties should be set up under Liping Mansion, and at the same time, various towns and villages should be set up under these three counties.

At the same time, it is necessary to cooperate with the personnel of the patrol police department and the tax department to establish security forces and tax collection agencies respectively.

These three things are his most urgent tasks at present, because the establishment of a perfect three-level administrative organization can truly extend the tentacles of the Tang Dynasty into every corner of Liping Mansion, and establish the county patrol police bureaus, town magistrates, and village robber arresters under the patrol police department, so that they can maintain their rule after the withdrawal of large-scale military troops.

After all, we can't always rely on the people of the tax inspection team to collect taxes in a messy way, but there must be a legal and reasonable way.

The day after Sun Yawei arrived, several large tables were set up at the door of the prefect's yamen, and several signboards were erected at the same time, and there were official documents posted under the signboards, one of which said: Now the Tang Dynasty is thirsty for talent, and it is in urgent need of talents from all walks of life.

And the assessment requirements are also quite low, as long as you can read and write, then you can be a section member or even a section chief or something, if the ability is better, the county Cheng, Tongzhi and the like can also be awarded on the spot.

In a word, as long as the reader dares to come, Datang will give you an official position!

It's a pity that there are very few applicants, and only five or six people apply for recruitment at the end of the day, and they are all scumbags and helpless types.

However, the Tang Dynasty also accepted it all, not because of what money bought horse bones, but because there was a real shortage of people, as long as you can read and write, no matter who you are, Datang dares to use it, you show a little loyalty to Datang, and your disgust with Dameng, then it is reuse.

As for whether you will be afraid of their betrayal or something, you don't have to worry about this!

If they want to betray the Tang Dynasty, it depends on whether the Ming army agrees or not!

It is rumored that Governor Zhu Zhihai already has a 'list of pseudo-Tang thieves' on hand, and the top of the list is naturally Li Xuan, the puppet emperor, and then Liu Bagou, Wang Wenhua, and Qian Mengjiu, the three pseudo-scholars, and then Yang Xiucai, Ma Wei and other pseudo-Tang Shangshu and Shilang.

Among the military, Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, Hao Bonian and other pseudo-Tang thieves are all on the list, and they are quite high, it is rumored that the list in Zhu Zhihai's hands has more than 100 people, and the people who have a name on the top, if they are caught, the lightest is a Ling Chi, if the Tang Dynasty is dead, the family behind each person will have to go through a raid to wipe out the family, and several main minds, such as Li Xuan and Liu Bagou, are estimated to be punished by the nine clans.

Even Zeng Ziwen is on the list, and is called the number one traitor of the Ming Dynasty by the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for the Zeng family in Xingquan Mansion, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty would have wiped out the Zeng family a long time ago.

Fortunately, after the Tang Dynasty completely controlled Xingquan Mansion, the safety of the Zeng family was initially guaranteed, and Zeng Ziwen abandoned the pseudonym and restored his original name.

The Zeng family, who lived in Xingquanfu City, finally knew that Zeng Ziwen, who they thought had died, had become a big thief, and the Zeng family was frightened, and it was rumored that Zeng Ziwen's uncle was scared half to death on the spot.

However, at this point, whether they are frightened or panicked, or reluctant, they all have to accept the reality, and then consider the future more realistically.

Their Zeng family has become an anti-thief family, and if the Tang Dynasty is finished, their Zeng family will also be finished.

Even if it is for the Zeng family itself, this Datang cannot be finished, not only can it not be finished, on the contrary, it is best to develop and grow smoothly all the way, so that their Zeng family can maintain their current wealth and even go to the next level.
