Of course, no matter how loud it is, it is not enough to look at it in front of Xu Shiyang.

Even when he allowed all levels of localities to preside over the suppression of Shaosen Temple by himself, after the news spread, those famous and decent people in the green forest were instantly silent and did not dare to speak.

He is Xu Shiyang!

With his own strength, he destroyed the arrogant Jurchens, Dangxiang, Mengwu and other Tatars, and created Xu Shiyang, the empire with the largest ruling area in history!

This is only more than forty years old, but he has been fighting for 25 years, hundreds of battles of all sizes, conquering and winning, and has never been defeated.

It is the idol worshiped by most of the self-proclaimed famous and decent people, and the unquestionable authority!

Of course, it is also because no one has the ability to fight against Xu Shiyang.

When people learned that Xu Shiyang personally presided over the operation against Shaosen Temple, even if their own nephews and apprentices were involved and arrested, the famous and decent heroes had to consider whether there was something else wrong with this matter, or simply they deserved it?

This is the benefit of fame, Xu Shiyang has a reputation for being good at killing, but others can also see that this so-called good killing is only for the Tartar barbarians, and he is actually very tolerant of the Han people, after all, Xu Shiyang didn't even kill the old men and clans of the previous dynasty.

At this time, even if their own people were arrested by Xu Shiyang, many sects had to think about whether they had done something wrong on their side.

Of course, not everyone has this idea, there are also people who indiscriminately hate Xu Shiyang directly, but compared to those who started to wait and see, there are a lot less.

On January 20, 1798, the first judgment of the Dengfeng case appeared.

The person on trial was Tan Sanjia, the county commander of the empire in Dengfeng, who was sentenced by the Criminal Department to be deprived of the right to govern for corruption and dereliction of duty, demoted to the rank of commoner, fined most of the family property, and exiled to northern Liao, and was not allowed to return south to Xing'anling for 20 years.

Together with Tan Sanjia's verdict, there is also some information and facts of the case that have been investigated in the early stage.

Among them, the main points involved in Shaosen Temple are as follows:

Among the cases that have been verified so far, 1,311 cases are cases of monks from Shaosen Temple robbing other people's land, real estate and shops; 2,900 cases of humiliation and detention of women; no less than 3,000 cases of robbery of other people's money; and no less than 50 life lawsuits.

There are many other cases of fraud and beating innocent people, and it has not been clear.

Moreover, all types of cases have not been completely investigated, and it can be said that the cases verified by the Criminal Department at present are only the tip of the iceberg of the cases accumulated by Shaosen Temple in the past 30 years from the Great Zhou Dynasty to the present.

The Criminal Department seized all kinds of stolen money, stolen goods, and various materials directly or indirectly controlled by Shaosen Temple in Shaosen Temple and Dengfeng County, totaling no less than S$23 million.

This figure does not include antiques, calligraphy and paintings, ancient books that cannot be valued, nor does it count fixed assets such as real estate and land.

This figure is extremely shocking to the world, 23 million liquid assets, which is equivalent to the total tax revenue of the entire Henan Province in a year!

Moreover, Shaosen Temple, as a temple, actually controls all the Jiyuan in Dengfeng County, and directly keeps hundreds of women in captivity on Shaomu Mountain to provide services for monks and distinguished guests of Shaosen Temple.

Although not all the cases have been clarified, the problems that have been exposed now are enough to make Shaosen Temple a catastrophe.

On the fifth day of the first month of February, the Criminal Department simply held a public trial meeting in Dengfeng County, and asked all the sufferers to come to the stage one by one to state all the crimes of Shaosen Temple in the past 30 years, and the 15 special case teams recorded more than 30,000 cases of various crimes on the same day.

Xu Shiyang simply ordered these cases to be dealt with together, and at the same time, a series of more serious crimes awaited the monks of Shaosen Temple.

That is secession, armed opposition to the Empire, rebellion, and rebellion!

For the common people, this crime can be scared to death, according to the traditional concept, these charges are confirmed, and all the people involved in it have no problem to punish the nine clans!

At the end of February, under Xu Shiyang's order to "deal with it strictly, severely, and quickly", the results of the handling of the Shaosen Temple case were officially released:

A total of 70 of the monks, including the abbot of Shaosen Temple, were sentenced to death, with the only benefit being that they could only be hanged or beheaded, and Xu Shiyang did not agree to the sentence of Ling Chi to be used against them.

And among the lay disciples of Shaosen Temple, as well as other knights in Dengfeng City at that time, more than 200 people were executed together - because the armed resistance took place in Dengfeng County after all, not on Shaomu Mountain, so there were more people executed in the county.

The rest of the Shaosen monks, from official monks to day-time workers who burn fires, were sentenced to exile as long as they were shaved.

Together with the knights who were lucky enough not to be sentenced to death, they were scattered and resettled in the barren areas north of the Outer Khing'an Mountains, west of the Green Mountains, and south of Cochin.

At least half of them were sentenced to a period of not more than 20 years without returning, while the rest were sentenced to between 10 and 20 years, with the date of exile set on a different basis.

The Shaosen Temple case, even if you don't count the resisters who were directly killed, there were nearly 300 people who were executed and more than 20,000 people were exiled, which was undoubtedly the largest criminal case in the history of the empire, and it has steadily surpassed the major case of harvesting and cutting with Yangzhou as the starting point.

Moreover, because of the direct confrontation between local armed personnel and the army, which caused heavy casualties, Xu Shiyang had to start reconsidering the issue of civilian possession of weapons.

This is actually a contradiction, Xu Shiyang wants to maintain the martial spirit of the Han people, and also wants to maintain a very high mobilization rate and mobilization intensity while reducing the strength of the standing army (saving military spending), so he must let the reservists and militia have more access to weapons in their leisure time, and maintain basic training.

In addition, the Han Chinese in the border areas had to have sufficient force to deter the Outer Tibetans, maintained a high level of military deterrence against the Tatar barbarians, and the subject states had to even have all the people in the army, all of which made it impossible for the empire to maintain a strict gun ban policy.

However, everyone has a gun, and this situation will arise - there are always fools who can't think of it for a while, and pull out a gun for someone else for a small contradiction.

If you encounter a little trouble, drink a little wine, and get hot, a shooting will erupt.

This is a huge problem of public order, and it is a contradiction that is difficult to resolve between banning guns and not banning guns.

Xu Shiyang's initial idea was to divide all the provinces of the empire into two levels: inland and frontier.

Among them, the border regions with a real threat continue to implement the previous policy of opening up guns - for the sake of the overall stability of the border areas, social security problems can only be endured.

But in the inland provinces, which are not threatened by external military threats, Xu Shiyang plans to collect all the guns in the militia and reserve warehouses for centralized storage.

Registered reservists and militia members are only allowed to carry guns during military training every year, and at other times, as well as all mainland civilians other than the reserve militia, guns will be strictly prohibited in the future.
