Fuzhou is still a mess. Xu Xingwei said: "I mean, before the local law and order is quiet, Mingda should not go to Fuzhou lightly to prevent accidents." ”

Wei Yi said quite dissatisfied: "Although Zheng Tixing has the same heart as us, but he is too ineffective, a few days ago my uncle wrote to me, he went out to meet guests when it was just dark, and just went out to take the car There was a strong man who came up to rob him, but fortunately, the accompanying family was able to beat away the thief...... This is in Fuzhou City, Mingda, Brother Zhang, we grew up in Fuzhou City since we were children, how have we ever heard of such a thing? Now the hawkers who sell meat swallows, flat food, meat dumplings, and fried oysters are afraid to go out after dark. In fact, even in the daytime, there are people who rob, those who steal are blatantly stealing on the road, even robbing over the wall in the blue sky and daylight, and even raping and adultering women, crying and screaming everywhere. ”

Xu Xingwei also frowned and said: "My family sends strong men to patrol the streets every day, and the people in the robbery camp are too ineffective, and more come out after catching a batch, since I can remember, there has never been such a chaotic time in Fuzhou." ”

"Zheng Liqi is not ineffective." Xu Zixian said: "He is an old criminal, an old criminal, I will rely on him for the security of Fujian Road in the future, and if it is delayed, the prestige of Zheng Tixing will not be raised, and it will be difficult to use him in the future." As for the Fuzhou Rebellion, not only Fuzhou, Jianzhou was an officer, you will know when you go to Jianzhou, a large number of strong people are thieves, Li Kaiming has gathered more than 100,000 strong men, and even the small family is hundreds of thousands, all of which are the wealth of the large gentry who have looted the grain, and the place is empty and dilapidated to the extreme, if it were not for the garrison to guard and implement military management, the chaos in Jianzhou would be 100 times more powerful than that in Fuzhou. As for the bandits in Fuzhou, it is not only the homeless people and the people who break their homes who are robbers, but the taxes are too heavy, and the people have been suffering from servitude for a long time. The officers of the Criminal Punishment Division and the Xiang Army of the Robbery Hunting Camp were originally able to cope with the situation of the Chengping season, but in the current situation, it was beyond the ability of the Criminal Division. ”

Xu Xingwei, Wei Yi and others all nodded in agreement, Xu Zixian closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said: "Originally, I wanted to make Fuzhou chaotic for a while, so that people would know that it was powerful, but now I think about it, it is still biased, it is nothing more than the people who suffer, why do the people in the deep house compound suffer?" I've reached the position I am in front of me, and I don't need to use these tricks to act. Zizhang, you follow my order, I will ask Lin Shaozong to assist you, and this will be an officer in Fuzhou, and those who violate the prohibition and become thieves will be engaged in military law. ”

Xu Xingwei's body was shocked, and he said, "This is the Fuzhou people who want to be killed?" ”

"Of course, Xiaoyu will inform you first," Xu Zixian said with a smile: "It's not okay to punish if you don't teach, but if you don't listen to what you say, there is nothing to be sorry for killing him." ”

Xu Xingwei knew that this was also Xu Zixian's painstaking and profound intentions, and he returned from the Northern Expedition battlefield, although the military and political affairs made great contributions in the war against Jianzhou, and he was also tested as the chief officer. But in the shogunate and the army, Xu Xingwei's qualifications are too shallow, this time to quell the Fuzhou Rebellion, the decision to kill, can be regarded as giving Xu Xingwei the most solid step in the shogunate, this step is stable, and there will be a spread in the future, it will be much calmer.

"I can only thank the Lord for trusting." Usually chatting, Xu Xingwei and Wei Yi are commensurate with each other with Xu Zixian, these people are all young friends, Xu Zixian insists on this, Wei Yi and Xu Xingwei and others will not be too restrained and nervous.

But when the task was assigned, Xu Xingwei still stood up respectfully, raised his hands between his eyebrows, and then received the order after a long bow.

Xu Xingwei went out after receiving the order, there was no longer a moment's delay, Wei Yi also had something, after sending Xu Xingwei out, Wei Yi took a boat back to Penghu.

Only Xu Zixian and Fang Shaoqun were in the house, Chen Zhengzhi relaxed a lot, crossed his feet and said with a smile: "Brother Zizhang is always so serious, this time the matter of quelling the theft chaos is handed over to him, as well as opening up the foundation of the shogunate in the city and requisitioning the house, I think, some big families have a headache." ”

"It's not just a headache, it's a neck ache." Xu Zi looked at Fang Shaoqun first, then turned his head to Chen Zhengzhi and said: "Do you know that there are some noble sons in the city, taking advantage of the chaos in the four directions, taking the opportunity to recruit many rogue rangers, looting in Fuzhou Mansion and the surrounding towns and villages, or kidnapping, or extortion, or stealing, or openly robbing, and the Xiang army captures thieves, and the city guards the camps, these noble children are also inextricably linked. Even if you don't dare to blatantly bend the law, you can always do it by communicating with each other and giving convenience. It is difficult to calm down because of the thief's chaos, and there is also an obstacle in this. ”

Chen Zheng

Zhi didn't care at first, but after hearing it, he said solemnly: "Are there any people from our Changwen Marquis Mansion among them?" ”

"Of course not." Xu Zixian said: "The family rules of the Changwen Marquis Mansion are very strict, how can there be a child to do such a thing." I am talking to you about this matter today, I want you to go back and say hello to your father-in-law first, this time is not only to kill the bandits, but also to deal with the nobles involved in the case as long as there is evidence, the nobles in the city are intertwined, if someone finds the father-in-law to ask for help, please be sure not to take care of the matter. ”

"I see." In fact, Chen Dujing had seen Xu Zixian a while ago, but Xu Zixian didn't say it in person, but asked Chen Zhengzhi to speak, Chen Zhengzhi had already understood when he heard it, and said with a smile: "I will bitterly persuade my father not to anger His Royal Highness the King of Qin, although I am intimate, but it is taboo for relatives to interfere in politics, it is best to make my father angry and beat me a few times with a few sticks." ”

Xu Zixian laughed when he heard this, and said to Chen Zhengzhi: "The eldest brother is really a smart person, and he doesn't need to say much to understand the meaning here." ”

Even Fang Shaoqun couldn't help but glance at Chen Zhengzhi a few times, Xu Zixian was going to kill in Fuzhou, among which many noble sons were involved, and there must be a lot of generals and civil officials, under the killing, people did not dare to blame Xu Zixian, and they were afraid of His Royal Highness King Qin, but they would complain about Chen Dujing and others, especially the old Xun family who hoped that Chen Dujing would rescue, and they always had friendships, if Chen Dujing insisted on not saving, it would definitely make people dissatisfied. And before the disturbance, the Chen family stated before the incident that they would not get involved in military and political affairs, so they would not go to the Changwen Marquis Mansion with grievances.

"The shogunate arranged, I don't know if the king has made a decision?" After everyone dispersed, Fang Shaoqun said to Xu Zixian: "I don't know if the king is according to the old practice of Tiance Mansion, or according to the previous rules of the Great Wei Mansion?" ”

"Previously, I had various divisions in the Eastern Domain, and I learned from the old rules to complement each other's weaknesses, so let's handle it at our discretion." Xu Zixian said: "The old practice can be used where it is available, but it still has to be in line with the current reality, and there is no need to be too stubborn." ”

"I hope the king will settle the shogunate soon." Fang Shaoqun said with a serious expression: "How many people are also looking forward to it." ”

Xu Zixian nodded slightly, knowing that a person like Fang Shaoqun who does not value fame and fortune dares to tell the truth, and for many people, sealing his wife and son, and being promoted to a knighthood are all things that he is eager for, this is human nature, and there is no need to peep at others for this.

……

After Xu Xingwei was ordered, he took his subordinates and servants and hurried to the port.

Qizhou here is quite peaceful, the sky is clear, there are not many ships in the port, many big ships leave at the beginning of the arrival, and small boats shuttle inside and outside the port, such as swimming fish back and forth, it is even more busy and abnormal.

In addition to transporting grain and materials, it was also necessary to transport soldiers, officials, and people from trading houses, etc., and there were also some people who came out of the Eastern Domain, and there were also sporadically people who went to the Eastern Domain, most of whom were on the island before, and at this time the war subsided, and they began to go to the island one after another.

Xu Xingwei is the chief official of a division, as soon as the shogunate is opened, Li Yi is at least three products or from three products, Xu Xingwei can most of them give four products of crown clothes, last year he was only a six-grade martial arts, a leap into a four-grade grade, the strange encounter, but also suddenly as if in a dream.

The more so, the stronger his loyalty is, and he is also prudent in his ordinary behavior, and he is not afraid of trouble, although he has not been in the palace for a long time, he is also quite popular and respected.

By the time they arrived at the beach, there were already two section chiefs of the Military Administration Department with more than 20 officials, of whom several were first-class officials, and the rest were second- and third-class officials.

The first-class officials of the shogunate are equivalent to the official positions of the eighth or ninth ranks, the second-class officials are at least from the ninth ranks, and the third-class officials are the officials who record affairs and post books.

Many of the officials are similar to short black robes, but by virtue of the style of the head, the belt and other subtleties, you can clearly see the level of the officials.

Xu Xingwei is quite satisfied with his subordinates!

At the sound of an order, no matter what they are doing or what difficulties they have, even the people in front of them are not only people from the Military and Political Department, but also half of the officials of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department.

Xu Xingwei must use more manpower than what he needs in front of him, and when he arrives in Fuzhou City, the existing officials in the city can be transferred at any time as long as he uses them.

When I arrived at the wharf, there were two small boats ready, these boats were the small cargo ships that were used to running on the Min River, and they could also fish offshore, with a mast and a double or four oars, with wind and no wind to paddle.

There are some bold Fujian fishermen who dare to go to Penghu or the Eastern Domain to fish in such small boats, and most of the local catches in Fuzhou are caught by these small and medium-sized fishing boats.

The two boat bosses and a dozen men were already waiting beside the ship, these two ships were medium-sized ships, each of which could transport more than a hundred people, but there were only twenty or thirty people in front of them, and everyone on board looked at each other.

"Wait a moment." Xu Xingwei said warmly to the boatman: "There are still soldiers and soldiers of the government army who want to accompany them on the ship. ”

"It's best to have a military master on board." A shipwharf saw that this official did not have a stand, and said boldly: "When we go to sea, I wish to transport more military masters who have fought in wars." They have evil spirits on them, blocking those spirits in the sea, and they dare not rise up and make waves. ”

Another boatman also said: "Those generals are really murderous. They kill pirates and thieves, and they are also good men on our Fujian Road, but their eyes are cold and scary. ”

Xu Xingwei smiled slightly when he heard this, although he didn't believe these strange words, but the image of the government army was excellent, and it was recognized by the people, which was also something that made the shogunate officials quite happy.

Xu Xingwei and his subordinates didn't wait too long, the army was assembled and prepared very quickly, everyone stood for less than a quarter of an hour, and in the sound of the horn, the soldiers of the two government armies had already lined up.

"The first battalion of the first army is ordered to come and ask Officer Xu for an order."

"The second of the fifth battalion of the third army is ordered to come and ask for an order from Officer Xu."

The heads of the two capitals are black-faced and long-bodied men, especially Lu Wenluo, the head of the first capital, is a famous warrior in the army, and his height is obviously one head taller than his partners, and the height of the Fujian people is one head shorter than that of the northerners, but the soldiers of the government army are all selected among the strong men, and the average height is also qualified in the forbidden army.

When Xu Zixian first raised troops, he was as tall and strong as possible, and short people may also be powerful and infinite, and they are good at technical fighting, but after all, they are a minority. A tall and strong person, the courage is also stronger than ordinary people, and after training, he has been on the battlefield, and he is an elite soldier and horse.

Lu Wenluo is still clearly showing his head in a group of tall men, and his body is much more burly than ordinary people, with hair on his face, obviously showing traces of having just been shaved, but he has grown a lot of hair, and the whole person looks like a chimpanzee.

Xu Xingwei said with a smile: "Lu Dutou is a strong man who beheaded Yan Qi on the battlefield, right?" It's better to be famous than to meet, and it's really a good man. ”

"On the battlefield, 10,000 people work together." Lu Wenluo was praised a lot, and he already knew how to answer, so he hugged his fists and said: "It's just a fluke." ”

Lu Wenluo in front of him, like many soldiers of the government army, was wearing a slightly shabby gray short military robe, everyone had been on the expedition from the Eastern Domain for nearly a month, and they had been hiding in Qizhou for a period of time before that, plus they had changed their guards back and forth, and there was no chance to change their oars and robes at all, and everyone had a smell of blood and sweat.

The eyes of the soldiers of the government army are also extremely cold, both of them are actually not satisfied, the first have lost more than 30 brothers, at that time to attack the north camp, two days and nights of sleepless fighting, each of the army has pulled up to attack, the siege of the city is the most serious casualties of the tactics, although the camp of the thieves is not a city, but the building is on the hillside of the high ground, high and steep, just in the process of filling the trench on the death of a lot of government troops, when the back and attack, more difficult, the thieves are condescending, with various means to defend.

In fact, if it weren't for the geographical advantage, I am afraid that even if the thieves garrisoned the camp, they would not have lasted as long as two days and nights under the sharp offensive of the government army.

Lu Wenluo's voice was a little hoarse, and the rest of the soldiers were the same, in fact, everyone didn't lack sleep these days, and they didn't like to talk much, many people's friends in the robe were either killed in battle, or injured, and the dead in battle had already burned their bodies on the battlefield, and then taken away by the officials of the Military Administration, or brought back to their families for burial, and the Military Administration Department presided over the military funeral, or sent to the cemetery of the Eastern Domain or Nan'an, and the rest of the robes who died in the war were buried together.

Now there are also rumors here in Fuzhou to build an ancestral hall and a cemetery, and the soldiers of the government army are more supportive of this decision, they have no objection to being buried in the Eastern Domain, as long as they are with the Paoze brothers, where is not their hometown? But if you are buried in one place with your brothers on the high mountains and mountains of Fuzhou, condescendingly, and your relatives in your hometown are in sight, wouldn't it be a happy thing if the heroic spirit is immortal?

Soldiers are not afraid of war, nor are they too afraid of death in battle, but people just have a little thought, some obsession, and some things that need to be used to explain themselves.

Fortunately, whether the king is the Marquis of Nan'an, or the King of Qin, or the King of Kaifu Qin, he has always done an excellent job in this regard, and he will never disappoint the soldiers.
