Damn, it's a big deal. ”

Rao is a noble son of the princely family, and at this moment, Chen Jingfu couldn't help but scold.

On the street of the clan, many nobles and children of the family stood on top of the arrow tower or drum tower, looking at the endless stream of officers and soldiers and the army of the Qin Wangfu on the street, and bursts of cheers broke out from time to time.

Recently, there have been so many bandits in Fucheng that it has made the noble families feel threatened, and many big families are mobilizing all the young and strong children, holding long knives, iron spears, and bows and arrows to patrol the streets or around the mansion, driving away those who are not good-looking, and the bad people who are thieves and rats-eyed are far away.

Fortunately, although this generation dared to climb over the wall and rob the big households, they still didn't dare to do anything to the real gentry's house, and as for the Xungui Mansion and Zongmu Street, no bandits dared to really come to make up their minds.

One is that these families have a large number of swords, guns, bows and arrows, and most of their children practice martial arts.

In addition, there is the pacification of the envoy, the prefect's yamen, and the punishment department, each of the big yamen has sent soldiers to patrol here, in case the blinding bandits really robbed the family of a clan, or robbed a certain princely family, in that case, it is the first major scandal since the founding of this dynasty.

Even so, the atmosphere in the city became tighter day by day, saying that the thieves were driven away, and the old Xiangguo also issued an edict to enter the city, but unexpectedly, the situation was a little out of control, and everyone's hearts were not small.

At this time, the government army suddenly entered the city, controlled the city defense, and at the same time drove all the yamen officers and soldiers of the box army to go to the street together.

Chen Jingzhong blushed and looked at the other side of the drum tower, his father Chen Man and mother Li were both upstairs, his father and a few staff members were talking, and his mother was smiling...... Chen Man's deputy governor has been dismissed, and the prince has also been lost, but fortunately, he still has a lot of wealth, and has sent Qing guests to Jiangling, ready to look for houses, and prepare to settle in Jiangling after that, and not return to Fuzhou. Chen's wife was extremely disliked by King Qin, and she also agreed with the decision to move her family, seeing that the bandits inside and outside the city were about to be pacified, and the family could be relocated, the Li family was full of smiles.

Chen Jingzhong looked unhappy, but he didn't speak ill of Chen Jingfu like him.

There have been more than 100 troops and more than 100 army officers and soldiers gathered in front of him, and the old Nan'anhou Mansion is on this street, and it is quite easy to gather people. In addition, it is the strong men of the local Jia faction, laying soldiers, changing husbands, etc., which are used to lead the way.

The government army is all on horseback, all of them are wearing armor, the officers are scale iron armor, the soldiers are pierced armor, the weapons used are mostly long and horizontal, and some people hold short crossbows, and there are more than ten people who put bows and arrows horizontally in front of the saddle, and their eyes look around with vigilant eyes.

Before dark, someone sent more than 100 torches, and the soldiers of the government and the soldiers of the Xiang army lit the torches, which seemed to be preparing for night hunting.

"Whether our people can hide or not depends on tonight." Chen Jingzhong turned his head to Chen Jingfu and said: "Always tell you to clean your hands and feet, don't make friends with those people in person, what do you say to leave a foreshadowing, and prepare for the future...... This time I have some bad feelings, and I'm afraid we're going to get wet. ”

"Afraid of what?" As soon as Chen Jingfu heard this, his face turned red, and he said angrily: "The ancestor of my Chen family is not only a martial artist, but also the uncle of Emperor Wuzong, and he has clan blood, if not, how can he be classified as a Fuzhou clan or the like?" The robbers testified, did he Xu Zixian dare to make things difficult for me? Even if there is something, I am sorry to go to the Dali Temple in Beijing with him to fight a lawsuit. ”

Chen Jingzhong sighed, knowing that his brother was the same as himself, and he was jealous of Xu Zi to the bone, and he also hated it to the bone. Now he has no other ideas, just looking forward to these Xiang army and Yacha, the strong men of Lijia are not in a good position, Chen Jingzhong has also studied and judged the overall situation, now the main force of the government army is still in Jianzhou, part of it is transferred to Qizhou, Penghu, Eastern Domain, the new army has not yet been used, this is the time when Xu Zixian's forces at hand are relatively empty and scattered.

This is also an inevitable thing, ordinary forces, when retreating and gathering, are strong, once a certain aspect of the enemy is broken, such as suddenly laying down a large territory, the new strength is not replenished, but the old strength is scattered, but also relatively weak.

If it weren't for that, Chen Jingzhong wouldn't dare to mess around...... Xu Zi went to Qizhou first, in Chen Jingzhong's opinion, it was also a wise move, now the power of Fuzhou has not really surrendered, there is chaos inside and outside the city, if Xu Zi lives in first, there will be any accidents, but it will make the general trend unpredictable changes. Xu Zi was in Qizhou first, Chen Jingzhong saw the opportunity, one was to make a vote to make advance plans and preparations for the idle life in Jiangling, and the other was to have some thoughts about the Jianghu people here in Fuzhou, in case there is any recurrence in the future, the Chen brothers will follow the father and son of King Zhao and turn back, and they will not be black-eyed, or there will be no one available at all.

Who would have thought that the reaction of the Qin Wangfu would be so fast, and the action would be so big......

The Chen family brothers looked left and right, but they found that the entire Fucheng was moving. The Qin Palaces mobilized all the abilities in the city

The mobilized forces, the van army, the government service, the private soldiers, the shop soldiers, the strong men, a large number of torches lit up the night sky of Fuzhou Mansion, the whole city seemed to be ignited by fire, everywhere there was firelight, people could not hide, and the barking of dogs, neighing horses, and the sound of people roaring, there were also many hidden thieves who began to be captured.

Even here in the clan street, there are also many thieves hiding in the dark alleys, around nightfall, there are already countless gentlemen and people playing gongs, ordering the people to return to their homes, not to hide idle people, etc., merchants live in hostels, outsiders must provide identification documents that can be used for interrogation, otherwise they will be arrested and punished.

During the day, the city was full of bustling people, and it was quite difficult to investigate the thieves, and after the afternoon, all the streets and alleys gradually cut off, and some homeless outsiders suddenly appeared, and there was nowhere to hide.

The Chen brothers and others were bound when they saw countless thieves, most of them were short jackets and shirts, dressed neatly, many were armed with horizontal knives, bows and arrows, short swords, and spears, but few dared to resist.

Occasionally, bandits gathered and howled in revolt, and then the cavalry of the government rushed over, the sound of horses' hooves beating like a raging storm, followed by the sounds of killing and the screams and wails of the thieves as they scattered.

This is not the first time in the city, hundreds of army soldiers are like tireless machines, from the evening began to plunder, the whole city dispatched thousands of people, in a radius of more than ten miles back and forth in the city to catch and catch, by the second half of the night, the arrested thieves have more than a thousand, most of them are fierce and domineering, which is shocking to see. At dawn, most of the hidden thieves were captured, because the pre-punishment envoy had caught a lot, and the consequences were not very serious, most of them were flails, or whipping, cane scolding, and group thieves, and the magistrates felt that there was a problem with the administration, and as long as they did not gather as thieves, they were not as serious as usual.

When the sky was light, the torches were not extinguished, and the government army began to urge the Xiang army and the yacha, as well as the Lijia Zhuangding, along the street and the square, began to check every household non-stop.

Xu Xingwei and Zheng Liqi took turns to appear in front of the doors of each fang, listening to the reports of the thieves everywhere, Zheng Liqi's face was tired, after all, he was over fifty years old, and he couldn't sleep all night to consume energy, but Xu Xingwei entered the city and acted resolutely, the order was forbidden, and his actions were decisive and resolute, and his character was resolute, judging from the actual results, the mobilized troops were only more than 5,000 people, but due to the correct scheduling, more than 1,000 thieves were all captured, and then checked the residents along the Lifang, and still found out a lot of fish that slipped through the net, the effect was so that it was enough to meet Zheng Liqi's efforts in the previous month, As the envoy of the sentencing department, Zheng Liqi felt ashamed, so naturally he could only support it and do his best to cooperate with Xu Xingwei.

"If you are tired, you can rest first." Xu Xingwei said to Zheng Liqi: "After that, it may be delayed until before noon, and then it will be Xiaoyu Lijia, beware of outsiders, and be careful of thieves entering the city again." Every Lijia and every household must make up the house number, and write the Lijia number, the name of the head of the household, Ding, how many people, the appearance characteristics, and why they make a living, all of which are written on the card, even if the noble family is not exempt, even the slaves who live in the family with the family also need to write the number, so that it is difficult for outsiders to hide. First Su Fucheng, and then take the Xiang army out of the city, along the Fucheng and along the river around the inventory and suppression, and then return to the villages and towns and the other side of the Min River, about ten days later, Fuzhou and Xinghua army around the thieves when the trouble. As for the thieves in Quan, Zhang, and various military states, after the army of Tongfu is stationed, they will probably be cleared and suppressed by the same means as they are now, and they will be reorganized, and they will probably be able to settle down. ”

If Zheng Liqi has enlightenment, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is going to take advantage of this matter to do the Jing'an place, when the King of Qin first arrived in Fuzhou, when he opened the mansion, he made it clear that the reduction of the levy, the suppression of officials, the clearing of officials, and the Jing'an place, should be the first in all things, but from now on, it seems that public security and cleaning up the officialdom, and placing officials, these things are estimated to be in the forefront.

If this is the case, Zheng Liqi is faintly worried in his heart.

The origin of banditry is nothing more than heavy taxes, and there are many people who are disgruntled, and many bold people gather in groups to make trouble, and even steal, rob, kidnap, and even kill.

Some of them are old thieves, and some are poor people who have learned from them.

If we cannot reduce the tax, violent repression alone can only be effective for a while, and it will be quite difficult to achieve long-term peace and stability.

But this kind of thing, Zheng Liqi is also inconvenient to talk more, the next life in front of him is actually the son of an old friend, Xu Xingwei's father Xu Yanren, and uncle Xu Yanda are all familiar friends of Zheng Liqi, but at this time, Xu Xingwei came on the order of the king, and he is a close friend of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the order he received was ordered by the King of Qin himself, so why should Zheng Liqi talk more.

Many noble families watched the excitement until midnight, and then everyone was tired and fell asleep one after another.

After the end of the day, the sound of search and arrest continued, and many people ran to the drum tower to see the excitement.

At this time, there was an accident on the street, and after dozens of thieves were arrested, a group of van soldiers made a noise, although in the morning the shogunate officials rushed over and arranged for an early meal, but the van soldiers rarely did this day and night, even if there were pacification envoys and torture envoys

Si, as well as the officials of the government office, and with the Qin King Shogunate's bombardment in charge, these Qiu Ba still couldn't help but complain.

A group of officials hurriedly persuaded the bullet pressure, but several military attachés at the command level of the military camp were not too careful, and only grinned and watched the excitement from the sidelines...... In front of them, many military attaches are not beneficial, and there are even many generals and thieves who have inextricable contacts and relationships, and they can't wait for this matter to be mixed up now.

The brothers Chen Jingzhong and Chen Jingfu both had smiles on their faces, and among the military attachés who saw the excitement in front of them, there were quite a few who were secretly in contact with their brothers, and everyone looked at each other, and they all had a tacit understanding in their hearts.

At this time, Lin Shaozong led the soldiers of the first capital to arrive on horseback and joined Xu Xingwei and others.

"Xiang Jun is clamoring," Xu Xingwei said to Lin Shaozong, "What should be done?" ”

Lin Shaozong said calmly: "Today's suppression of thieves is like a battlefield battle, the noise before the battle does not listen to the general's orders, it is like a rebellion before the battle, the generals are not effective, and they should be executed together." ”

Zheng Liqi was startled when he listened to it, there were city guards in front of the Xiang army, and there were also officers and soldiers of the Jiangfang battalion transferred from outside, he and Yang Shiwei and others also knew that the Xiang army was not completely reliable, which was different from the robbery camp, the robbery camp was stationed in Fucheng every day, and was controlled by the criminal envoy, Zheng Liqi's rules were stricter, and the thieves were stationed in more oil and water, and the military attachés and soldiers of the robbery camp were unlikely to collude with the group of thieves, and the box army outside the city was difficult to avoid.

However, in Zheng Liqi's view, although the military attache and soldiers of the Xiang Army are hateful, they are after all the teachers of the national economic system, and they can be investigated and convicted by the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and now they are actually killed, but it is unexpected.

But Zheng Liqi's throat surged a few times, but he didn't stop it.

It is not unreasonable to collude with bandits inside and outside, make noise and make trouble, and say that they have defected before the army and will be dealt with by military law.

When Zheng Liqi hesitated, Lin Shaozong had already given the order.

Lu Wenluo grinned, a smile appeared on his face, he waved his arm, and the soldiers of the government army under the command of the first capital spread out in formation, dismounted, held a long sword, set up a shield, raised a long bow and arrows, and slowly walked forward.

No one beat the drum, but the soldiers walked slowly, and the armor leaves on their bodies couldn't help but rattle, and from time to time there was the sound of gold and iron resonating.

On the street of the clan, many nobles saw such a scene for the first time, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Grow, thorn!"

Many Lijia Ding Zhuang and the requisitioned Minzhuang were scattered, and the government army gradually forced the noisy Xiang army and the military attache of the Xiang army into the corner, and many Xiang troops went from disdain to anger to panic.

Lu Wenluo didn't hesitate at all, his generation was useless, so forget it, but colluded with thieves to plague the place, and it was no different from killing them.

In the sound of the military order, more than 100 soldiers in the first capital set up a long guard, even called for ten thousand victories, the sound shook the sky, and then issued a military order, then the long hand and force forward, forming a lunge, the left and right hands pulled apart, and the long sword stabbed forward side by side.

The shield is erected on both sides, the archers draw the bow behind it and shoot, the Wei army's archer requirements and standards are originally extremely strict, the government army still wins, among the capital, the Wei army's archers and crossbowmen account for seventy percent, the Qin Wangfu army also has fifty percent, dozens of archers shoot at the box army without armor, the use of heavy arrows at close range, the shovel-shaped heavy arrow goes straight into the human body, after a few rounds, the opposite box army is either stabbed to death, or shot to death, the corner of the street, blood flows, together with the command level of the military attaché, more than 100 box troops were stabbed to death or shot in an instant.

Then Lu Wenluo ordered to step forward and mend the sword, and kill all those dying and moaning Xiang soldiers.

The thieves who were arrested all around, many strong people, and the noble clans who were watching, regardless of men and women, all looked at it with trembling eyes.

The government army implements military law, this vigorous and resolute, decisive and ruthless style, and the official style and practice of the Great Wei Dynasty are completely two concepts!

Zheng Liqi was also shocked, and sighed for a long time before he said: "No wonder His Royal Highness King Qin can be invincible, the military law is so strict that it is unimaginable." ”

"This is the morale, the people's style, and the military discipline of the Xiang army is too corrupt." Xu Xingwei said: "In fact, in the shogunate, it is rare to see a soldier of the government army being punished for violating military law, let alone sentenced to death. Because as soon as the government army entered the army, it was bound by various military laws, and it never forgiven, it seemed strict, but in fact, people who grew up in the military camp would not easily break the law, let alone break the law before the battle. And the Xiang army is less restrained, and it is used to being casual in peacetime, just like the matter in front of you, what is the difference between clamoring and not obeying military orders before the battle, and mutiny? In their eyes, it's just a small trouble......"

Zheng Liqi said: "I only hope that His Royal Highness the King of Qin will collect and control all the box troops earlier, so as not to happen today's incident again." ”

Xu Xingwei ordered the requisition of the cart, gathered the slain military attache and the corpse together, checked the identity, reported to the Qin King Shogunate for the record, and then dragged the body outside the city.

While doing these things, the streets and alleys everywhere were silent, and even though it was bright and everyone dared not go out at will. The Chen brothers were on top of the drum tower, their eyes were straight, and their bodies were trembling.
