Chapter Seventy-Two: Purging Western Xinjiang Officialdom
"The current situation in Western Xinjiang has a long way to go." Li Chen sighed and said.
"By the way, Luo Tong, you came just in time, and I need your help." Li Chen looked at Luo Daodao.
"Fourth brother, what's the matter?" Luo Tong looked at Li Chendao.
"Training."
"Training?" Luo Tong asked.
"Yes, the Turks are nomads, and horseback riding is their forte, so we can't compete with cavalry." Li Chen explained.
"Then how to fight." Luo Tong asked.
"We're fighting him alone."
"What is a one-man battle" Luo Tong was no longer surprised by the strange words in Li Chen's mouth, so he had to ask patiently.
"Single-soldier combat is the kind of one enemy with ten, and use the least number of people to fight more people." Li Chen thought about it, and could only simplify it to the point that he could understand what he could say.
Luo Tong nodded after hearing this, as if he understood.
"So what am I going to do?" Luo Tong asked.
"I've drawn the drawings, and then you follow me to find a few skilled craftsmen, and then you just need to listen to my command." Li Chen looked at Luo Daodao.
"Okay, as long as you can fight the Turks, what does the fourth brother say about Luo Tong, what will I do." Luo Tong patted his chest and said.
Li Chen led Luo Tong to the study, ordered no one to come and disturb, and then sat in front of the bookcase, took out a blank paper, and drew a lot of equipment for modern army training on it.
When Li Chen finished painting, he looked up and saw that it was dark, looking at Luo Tong, and he was bored with Luo Tong this afternoon.
He couldn't understand the picture that Li Chen drew there, and he couldn't help much, so he worked in Li Chen's study for an afternoon.
looked at Li Chen and looked up at Luo Dao: "Fourth brother, is the painting finished?" ”
Li Chen nodded and said, "The painting is finished." ”
"Then, let's get something to eat, brother, I'm really hungry." Luo Tong touched his stomach and said.
After Luo Tong finished speaking, it happened that Li Chen's stomach was also hungry.
Li Chen looked at Luo Tong and was a little embarrassed, people came all the way over, but now they are hungry.
"It's my negligence, let's drink wine and eat meat." Li Chen led Luo Tong to the main hall.
The people in the house had already cooked the meal, but Li Chen had instructed that no one was allowed to disturb him, so the people in the house had to heat the food over and over again.
Li Chen didn't come out again, and the cooks behind him planned to redo it.
Li Chen sat at the table and looked at the table full of food, and asked, "Has Miss eaten?" ”
"Back to my lord, Miss has already used it." The maids around the road.
Li Chen nodded and said, "You all go down, and tell the kitchen in the future, when there are no outsiders, don't do so much, you can't waste food." ”
"This ......," the maid looked at Li Chen, as if she wanted to say something.
"Huh?" Li Chen looked at the maid and said.
"Back to my lord, the last adult ......"
"I'll do as I say in the future." Li Chen said with a calm face.
"Yes." Seeing that Li Chen seemed to be a little unhappy, the maid hurriedly agreed.
"Well, let's go down."
"Yes."
Luo Tong looked at Li Chen, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and said, "Fourth brother, you are not like this in Chang'an. ”
"Alas, the fourth brother also has a word of suffering!" Li Chen sighed and said.
"How?"
"Nuoda's western frontier, if I don't have a little majesty, how to govern, I am carefree in Chang'an, and I don't have to worry about anything.
It's not going to be done now, not to mention the entire Western Xinjiang, it's a jade gate, and I haven't figured it out yet. Li Chen sighed and said.
"Say no more, drink." Li Chen raised his glass to Luo Daodao.
Li Chen is a little depressed these days, and he was actually drunk that night.
Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Feng Tong, Jun Qing, and Su Yu have already returned.
Officials from all over the country also arrived one after another, Li Chen got these officials to the training ground, Li Chen sat in the main seat, Luo Tong and Feng Tong stood on Li Chen's left,
Jun Qing and Su Yu stood to the right of Li Chen, and the officials on the field stood in order, and no one dared to speak more.
all know that the new Qincha sent by the imperial court has a bad temper, and on the first day of coming to Western Xinjiang, he set up a Yumen joint envoy and a deputy general.
Originally, these officials didn't want to give Li Chen this face, but the reason why they came here was because Su Yu used a small trick.
Li Chen became angry when he looked at these officials, and they all talked about people and didn't do things.
"Benhou was ordered by the Holy Lord to come to the Western Frontier to govern the Western Xinjiang for the Holy Lord, of course, there are righteous people among you;
However, Ben Hou said it on the bright side, from now on, once Ben Hou finds out that there is an adulteration with the Turks, Ben Hou's golden knife will not be merciful. Li Chen said, and the golden knife in his hand was slammed into the ground.
"Where is the Yumen Pass?" Li Chen called.
A fat man walked out of the training ground and saluted Li Chen: "Yumen Guan Taishou Dou has seen Lord Qincha. ”
Li Chen looked at Dou Quanquan and nodded: "What a person from the Dou family, come on, tie me up." ”
"Yes." The soldiers on the left and right stepped forward and tied up Dou Quanquan.
"I'm from the Dou family in the capital, Li Chen, you can't tie me up." Dou Quanquan looked at Li Chen and shouted.
Li Chen looked at him and said, "The Dou family is amazing, I'll let you see if I can tie you up today." ”
"Feng Tong."
"Master Hou." Feng Tong saluted.
As soon as Li Chen stretched out his hand, Feng Tong handed over a dozen papers.
Li Chen took the document and said, "Dou Quanquan, this is evidence of your collusion with the Turks, do you want me to read it to you one by one?" ”
Hearing Li Chen's words, Dou Quanquan suddenly sat down on the ground, and the soldiers on the left and right supported him like a dead dog.
"Put Dou Quanquan on death row, and behead the public at the entrance of the vegetable market at noon tomorrow." Li Chen ordered.
"Yes." Pulling Dou Quanquan left and right, Dou Quanquan didn't say a word, and he knew that he was finished, so he didn't bother to defend himself.
"Yumen Guan County ordered Hou Yanfei to be out of the ranks." Li Chen finished disposing of Dou Quanquan, turning his head to the training ground.
"The lower official is here." An officer of medium stature stepped out of the field.
"Tomorrow you will take up the post of Yumen Pass Taishou."
"Yes, Master Hou." Hou Yanfei really didn't expect a surprise from the sky to fall on his head all of a sudden.
Hou Yanfei was in the county seat below Yumen Pass, and he had been the county magistrate for many years, because he was timid, so there was no corruption during his reign.
This person was recommended by Su Yu, and Su Yu knew clearly whether the officials in the entire Western Xinjiang were corrupt or not, and Su Yu often visited the homes of many officials present.
Su Yu once came to Hou Yanfei's house, and after turning around, he didn't find anything valuable, and later Su Yu also observed this person for a period of time, and he did a good job of developing this official.
So, I took this opportunity to recommend this person to Li Chen.
In this purge, Li Chen arrested more than a dozen senior officials in Western Xinjiang in a row, and Su Yu enjoyed watching it again and again.
Back in the mansion, Su Yu looked at Li Chen and said with a deep salute: "Master Hou, you really deserve to be the parents of the people in Western Xinjiang." ”
