|||->-> Chapter 715 Severe Punishment and Strict Law

The original ruler has fallen, and the new ruler must come to power, otherwise the address will be a mess, and this new ruler is undoubtedly Shi Bin. But this situation surprised Shi Bin very much, because this time it was everyone who asked him to rule this place directly.

said that if Shi Bin felt that he was short of energy, it would be good to arrange an agent, and he would not have to invite the imperial court, even Wang Jian, who had always been very loyal to the Zhao family, had this attitude.

It wasn't that he was afraid that everyone would frame him, but he felt a little uncertain in his heart, so he still asked when he raised the account, "You all want me to rule this place directly?" No jokes? ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Li Chao, Xie Qiangbing, Wang Jian, Xiang Shibi and Zhou Xunliang replied in unison in a very firm tone.

It was not good to ask Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi directly why they also had this attitude, so Shi Bin had no choice but to say, "Can you tell me the reason?" After all, your attitude is to ask me not to report to the emperor and directly deal with the matter of handing over the address, which is very rude. Although Ben Shuai is very rude many times, he feels that the basic procedures still have to be walked, which can be regarded as giving the Zhao family some face. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Wang Jian, obviously hoping that they would give an explanation. Wang Jian has been an official for many years, how can he not know the connotation?

At this time, Xiang Shibi, who had already taken refuge in Shi Bin, stood up and said: "Dashuai, the address is not somewhere else, the people here are fierce, quarreling and fighting at every turn, if the people who rule here are not prestige enough, and the means are not enough, I am afraid that it will not be long before the address will be independent from my Great Song Dynasty again." At that point, all our efforts will be in vain. Looking at the Great Song Dynasty, the only person who has the ability to keep this achievement is Dashuai. Da Shuai is mostly because Lord Wang also agrees with the fact that Da Shuai will rule here without inviting the court to play this time, but in fact, the reason is very simple, because Lord Wang once told the last general that since the emperor ascended the throne, he knew that the Great Song Dynasty was exhausted. ”

"Great Marshal, what I said to my lord is exactly what the last general has in mind. Today's emperor is a mentally handicapped, and even the mentally handicapped can be an emperor, which shows that the Great Song Dynasty has exhausted its qi, and my Wang Jian is powerless to return to heaven no matter how loyal he is. Although the marshal does not conform to the rules many times, he cares about the country and the people, and it is a blessing for the locals to be ruled by the marshal. Wang Jian also said.

"Well, then. However, I do lack energy, and I am afraid that it is difficult to take care of the address, and most of them need to be represented. Who are you going to say? Shi Bin asked.

"Great Marshal, the last general thinks that it is enough to be elected from among Lord Wang and Lord Xiang, and we all have our respective positions that are not suitable for guarding here. Lord Zhou has worked very hard to guard the frontier for many years, and this time he is even more dead, and he should be promoted and transferred to a place with better conditions. Li Chao said.

Hearing Li Chao's words, everyone was very happy. Xie Qiangbing, the general leader of the country of abundance, didn't want to be transferred to this barbaric place, while Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi hoped to have their own territory like Li Chao and others. Zhou Xunliang is self-aware, and he is not enough to become a big member of the party, nor does he want to become the target of public criticism, so he also agrees with Li Chao's opinion.

"That's a good idea. However, I don't think it's necessary to choose Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi from among them, just let Wang Jian serve as the transit envoy and Xiang Shibi as the pacification envoy. After the order was issued, Shi Bin said again: "Wang Jian, Xiang Shibi, this person is very competitive and not very easy to manage, this commander will leave you here, you won't hate me, right?" ”

"No!" The two said in unison.

"That's fine, let's talk about how to deal with the next problems, how to rule the address."

"Dashuai, the last general thinks that the first thing is to continue to win over those who support us as we did before, so that they can get real benefits. Let those who do not support us be severely punished, and let those who are bystanders be neutral

The eyes of the children are red, and they will naturally give in for the sake of profit. Xie Qiangbing proposed.

This method is very good in the eyes of everyone, the person who handed over the address is still hungry and unclothed, if he finds that he can eat and dress warmly, how can he be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty again? So Shi Bin ordered that those who helped the Great Song Dynasty along the way be rewarded, and those who helped the Great Song were also appointed as local officials to be responsible for people's livelihood.

The dampness at the address was very heavy, and many soldiers fell ill because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, so Shi Bin was looking forward to returning to the court as soon as possible, leaving only some soldiers who adapted to the climate here. It is regrettable that bad news came when the army retreated to Taiyuan: a newly appointed county commander was killed, and many lieutenant commanders were injured.

This news made Shi Bin feel incredible and angry, others were killed and beaten before they left the appointed official at the address, isn't this a slap in the mouth? So immediately the drum was beaten and the tent was raised. This sudden drumming and raising of the account made Li Chao and the five people understand that there was trouble again, and they didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and they quickly came to the handsome tent.

Seeing Shi Bin, whose face was like black iron, the five of them understood that things were not good, but fortunately, they knew that Shi Bin would not be angry with others because of bad things, so they didn't feel uneasy.

"I'll tell you the bad news, the addresser killed a county commander I just appointed, and wounded a few lieutenants." Shi Bin gritted his teeth and said.

As soon as these words came out, the tent immediately boiled, and Li Chao and several people shouted "bastard", "barbarian", "Diao Min", and "never spare".

"Of course, it's a bunch of unscrupulous people, barbarians, and absolutely not to be spared, but I want to ask how to deal with them? It seems that it is not enough to reward the people who support us, but also to protect them so that other people do not dare to have bad intentions, otherwise there will be constant trouble. ”

Everyone agreed with Shi Bin's attitude, so they all thought of a way.

Li Chao, who was the most strategic, was the first to speak: "Dashuai, remember that we decided to transfer some people who have committed crimes here, right?" ”

"Yes." Shi Bin said.

"Maybe we should send more strongmen like this to settle here, so that we can suppress these people. And we have to spread our Chinese culture everywhere and educate them. ”

"In this way, first transfer hundreds of prisoners who are willing to be loyal to me to Luzhou to take root, you lead the army back to the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhou Xunliang and I will take a look at the situation in Luzhou."

This is naturally a good way, Li Chao, Xie Qiangbing, Wang Jian, and Xiang Shibi went to do their own things. Leaving Shi Bin and Zhou Xunliang to observe in Luzhou. The Great Song prisoners who were willing to be loyal to Shi Bin were soon sent and sent into villages one by one. It didn't take long for trouble to arise again.

Unlike last time, all the strongmen who were sent to settle down this time are strongmen who have committed crimes, and they definitely can't afford to lose anything. What's more, they think that they are the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, even if they are a prisoner, they look down on the foolish people in this barbaric place, and this is actually a distribution, so they are already dissatisfied in their hearts, so this powder keg will explode at a moment.

In just 10 days, there were more than 20 incidents of fights between Song people and the people who handed them over, slightly injuring more than 20 people and seriously injuring five people.

"Xu Feng, it seems that it seems that it is difficult for these strongmen of our Great Song Dynasty to suppress these Diao people who have been handed over to the address, I am afraid that we will have to change the way." Shi Bin sighed and said.

"What the marshal said is very true, it is really not enough to rely on a few militiamen, and you have to find another way, otherwise there will be no peace in the handover."

At this time, Zhou Xunliang leaned over and said with some hesitation: "Boss, there is a word in the end that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"The speaker is not guilty, although he is not guilty, although he is blunt."

"Dashuai, this person is not as good as the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the people of the Yuan Dynasty, they rebel at every turn, so they can't be too soft. If the marshal is too soft, they will mistakenly think that the marshal is weak and can be bullied, which is not conducive to the marshal

Rule here. ”

The implication of Zhou Xunliang's words is that Shi Bin understands very well that he actually wants Shi Bin to punish the addressers who are unwilling to surrender with iron and blood.

"Is the law severe?" Shi Bin lowered his head and groaned.

Seeing Shi Bin's hesitation, Zhou Xunliang naturally didn't dare to force Shi Bin to express his position, but said with a smile: "Dashuai, the last general is willing to spend a year gambling with adults." If the adults continue to be so compassionate, there will be more fights and brawls within ten days, and most of the people who suffer are my Great Song people. If the Great Song Dynasty used harsh punishments, such incidents would be reduced immediately. ”

Although he felt that what Zhou Xunliang said was most likely right, Shi Bin was still a little skeptical, so he agreed to make a bet with Zhou Xunliang, and the bet was also his own one-year salary.

After Zhou Xunliang left, Xu Feng said very anxiously: "Dashuai, why are you gambling so much, this is a gambling game that must be lost!" ”

"Of course I know it's a must-lose, hehe..."

"If you know, why are you still betting? If the two ladies know about it after returning to Beijing, you won't have any good fruit to eat! ”

"It's still worth exchanging a year's salary for Zhou Xunliang's loyalty, if Jia Ling and Sai Xishi insist on being unreasonable, I'll go to live in the yamen for a few days." Shi Bin smiled disapprecusely.

Seeing that Shi Bin had such a plan, Xu Feng stopped talking and continued to be his chief of guard.

The situation in the next ten days was really as Zhou Xunliang said, there were more and more fights between the Song people and the people who handed over the address, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger, and there were dozens of people fighting in groups. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, even if there is really an army equipped with the Song people, they still begin to suffer.

Understand that things can't be delayed any longer, and once these people become the climate, things will be bad. So Shi Bin immediately ordered Xu Feng to call Zhou Xunliang to discuss the matter.

Entering Shi Bin's study, Zhou Xunliang found that everything was different from what he had guessed before, Shi Bin was not angry because of these riots, but looked at him with a smile on his face. This made Zhou Xunliang uneasy in his heart, because he was afraid that he had run into a 'smiling tiger'.

"Zhou Xunliang, you are really powerful, what you said is right, in the past few days, the people who handed over the address have really launched more unscrupulous attacks on my people of the Great Song Dynasty, and even many innocent people have been harmed. It seems that it is not possible to use strict punishment and strict law. ”

"The marshal praised it falsely, and the last general just knew more about the people who were stationed in Lianzhou all the year round. In fact, the folk customs of our Guangnan West Road are already very arrogant and unreasonable, and the address has received less education, so it will naturally only become more arrogant and unreasonable. They obey only the strong, and in their eyes amiability is synonymous with cowardice. ”

"Understood, then you can tell me how to punish those riotous people? You can't kill them all. Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"Of course not, we have to punish those restless addressees. For example, if I give my Song Zimin a one-year prison sentence, I will give them two to three years' imprisonment. Give me the people of the Great Song Dynasty a sentence of 20 boards, and give them at least 40 boards. Give me the rebellion and beheading of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and if they are given, they will be sentenced to car splitting. And the more people know about these, the better. ”

Seeing that Zhou Xunliang said the heavy punishment so easily, Shi Bin knew in his heart how much he hated the person who handed him over. But Shi Bin was also very understanding, so he immediately agreed to his suggestion and ordered him to preside over everything.

As the saying goes, 'evil dogs are afraid of rough sticks', as soon as Zhou Xunliang's strict punishment came out, the Diao people who handed over the address disappeared within half a month, and Shi Bin was very happy to see this. Immediately ordered Zhou Xunliang to be the governor of Luzhou and Taiyuan, and assisted Wang Jian to deal with Xiang Shibi.

Zhou Xunliang, who learned of the promotion, was immediately overjoyed, although the place was far away, and the environment was not greatly improved as mentioned before, but in fact, it was the Emperor of the Earth, so he was still very grateful to Shi Bin. And Shi Bin left Luzhou after instructing him a few words and returned to Lin'an.
