Chapter 36 Sending the Prisoners to Qin
I nodded, thought for a while, and said, "There is no problem with the people, I can first allocate some of the imprisoned Sun Thief Tooth Soldiers to the second uncle to use, and then send some soldiers to take care of them." Anyway, the place where they are held is already very crowded, and they have only contributed to the Sun thief, which is not a serious crime, as long as these prisoners do not try to escape, according to their performance, I will promise to release them all in a few years, so that they can serve with peace of mind and will not cause any trouble to the second uncle. What do you think? ”
"That's fine, it's just that our Ningzhou city wall is already very strong, and it has been well maintained, and there is no need to repair it for the time being, I don't know what the marshal is going to do?"
I nodded and said softly, "For the sake of Yunnan's safety, I have an idea, and both General Jian and Xiao Hui strongly agree with it. That is to choose a precipitous location to the east of Songyang, and quietly build a pass to resist the possible attack of the Great Righteous Ning Kingdom. ”
"But I am afraid that the news will leak out in advance, causing a strong reaction from Dayi Ningguo and making a move that is unfavorable to our Yunnan, so I have not made up my mind yet."
"When we have time in a few days, we will go to Songyang together to survey the terrain and prepare for the site selection. Now, the only thing I'm worried about is that the construction of the pass is too big, which is easy to arouse suspicion from all sides, I don't know what Brother Lin has in mind? ”
After listening to me, Lin Yi said thoughtfully: "Xiaguan has a method, although it doesn't seem very clever, but maybe it can hide from the enemy's ears and eyes." ”
Lin Yi saw that there were no idle people waiting in the meeting hall, and quietly whispered in my ear: "Dashuai, our purpose is to build a pass, but we can repair the plank road in the open and the dark Chen Cang!" If it is carried out with great fanfare under the banner of building a temple, and the pass is also built secretly, it will be too late for them to have an opinion. ”
"You know, now the construction of temples has long been popular everywhere, and almost everyone from the king to the people of Dayi Ningguo believes in Buddhism, as long as we let out the rumors, we say that the new handsome man believes in the Buddha and devotes himself to teaching. After being instructed by a person with high virtue and profundity, he planned to choose a feng shui treasure near Songyang to build a temple, and I believe that there is no reason to doubt that the country of Dayi Ningguo has no reason to doubt. When the pass was quietly built, the raw rice had been cooked and cooked, and they had to weigh it even if they wanted to rejuvenate the teacher and fight the crime. ”
"Hmmm! Wonderful! It's wonderful! Brother Lin's idea is really clever. Tomorrow, you will spread the news, and we will implement it as soon as we invite the second uncle, and this matter will be handled by you, and strive to meet the second uncle tomorrow, and then we will discuss it in detail. "Hearing Lin Yi's good idea of stealing the day, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The two of them made a decision, and a big stone in my heart fell to the ground. The so-called one term of office for the benefit of one party. It's been a few days since I came to Yunnan, except for killing Sun Decheng, there are no clever achievements, and the people are all watching what I did!
The first priority in the next step is to carry out my grand plan as quickly as possible, exert strong means, unite the people's hearts and wisdom, develop Yunnan's economy, and let the people here get rich as soon as possible is my ultimate goal.
Of course, in order to achieve this, we must first have the energy to build Yunnan into a civilized and prosperous new world on the basis of ensuring Yunnan's security and stability.
When I woke up early the next morning, I was dressed in a purple official robe that I had sewn by hand, and I came to the East Campus in Ningzhou surrounded by the stars and the moon.
Although I am also the assassin of Ningzhou, this is the first time I have come here. The purpose of coming here is, of course, to see off Sun Deya and other Qin prisoners.
After sitting for a while, 16 treasonous felons, including Sun Deya, Jin Xiang, Yang Baocheng, Huang Qian, Wang Huang, and Kang Sheng, were escorted to me.
Originally, these people may have been all majestic, but now they have become prisoners, but they are like defeated roosters, unkempt and without a trace of their former demeanor.
Alas! If it weren't for the power of the Lin and Guo families to recapture Ningzhou, maybe I would have ended up like this!
I looked at them coldly and said indifferently: "You have all been heroic generals and important ministers of the country, and you have also shed blood and sweat for the country on the battlefield. ”
"But the court did not treat you badly, and it was so glorious to add officials and knights, and to seal wives and children. You don't know how grateful you are, but you forget your righteousness, help and abuse, and dig your own grave for fame and fortune, and end up in disgrace and disrepute, how sad and lamentable! ”
"Actually, the most pitiful thing is the wife and children behind you, who were expecting to enjoy family fun and a happy life with you, but they wanted to be imprisoned because you were innocent. You ask yourself, how can you live up to their ardent expectations? ”
"Alas! It's too late to say anything now, today you are going to be escorted into Beijing, right or wrong turns empty, everything you pursue has become a mirror, you can only leave empty hatred and helplessness! ”
"Therefore, for the sake of your contribution to the country, this marshal has come to see you off. As for your future fate, the court will punish you according to the law, and whether you can be reborn as a human being depends on your creation. It's not too early, come and see them off. ”
After listening to my stern reprimand, Sun Deya and Huang Qian at the bottom were all angry and scolding, but the others were depressed and listless, and it seemed that they could only resign themselves to fate.
At my command, Sun Deya and 16 other felons were escorted to the prison cart and locked up, and their wives and children were also locked up in other prison carts. Looking at these crying women, children, and children, whether old or weak, or young, my heart was faintly sour, and I couldn't help but feel compassion.
Alas! The victors, princes, and losers are the losers, and they have no choice when they come to this point. What awaits them and their families is a miserable and helpless fate. They no longer have any choice but to pray to the heavens for their good fortune.
Subsequently, Zhong Xu, the principal envoy of the escort team to Beijing, Lin Tong, the deputy envoy, and Gao Chang, Le Meng, and others arranged by me solemnly saluted me, and led 120 capable cavalry and hundreds of coachmen, carrying the medals to be presented to the imperial court, as well as the confessions of Sun Thief's comrades and others, the pseudo-national letters, the pseudo-seals, the pseudo-crowns and robes, and some of the rare antiques seized.
This time, the reason why I only sent these more than 100 people to escort the Qin prisoners was because all the way was the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it was far away from the borders of hostile countries, and under normal circumstances, there was no possibility of being hijacked. Although he escaped one Wang Chuan, with the remaining strength of his current army, he did not have the ability to travel thousands of miles and bypass several well-defended passes to rob the prisoner cart. That's why I'm able to sit back and relax so much.
After sending off the team entering Beijing, my next step was also arranged, that is, to go to the barracks outside the west city of Ningzhou to personally distribute counterinsurgency rewards to the officers and soldiers.
This is the best way for me to gain popularity, and I should seize this opportunity to establish a glorious image of the supreme leader in their minds, and strive to take the team into my own hands as soon as possible.
The criteria for specific rewards were drawn up yesterday, and I and Qian Shitang, Jian Zheng, Lin Yi, and He Shoujie have all discussed them properly, and according to their personal performance in the process of counterinsurgency, each officer and soldier participating in the counterinsurgency will receive rewards ranging from 10 to hundreds of rewards according to the highest standards, and this is only a preliminary reward, and perhaps the imperial court will promulgate another reward, and that will be a matter for the future.
Standing on the review stand of the Xicheng Barracks, looking at the black crowd under the stage, although the arrangement is not so neat, the standing is not so upright. Most of them are hippie and smiling, loose, and there are people who are secretly talking to each other.
I can understand all this for the time being, after all, this is just after the fierce battle of counterinsurgency, and the victory is badly needed, and these people are all heroes of the counterinsurgency, and it is understandable to have a little pride. If I want to be completely disciplined and have a strong work style, I don't dare to hope too much.
I tried to stabilize my emotions, hehe! This is the first time I've given a speech in front of so many people, and I'm still a little nervous!
Although I used to sit on the rostrum in later generations, listening to my father talking and exalting words there, but I didn't have the opportunity to speak once, who let us always exist as a supporting role!
This time is different, as the supreme governor of Yunnan, I finally have the supreme right to speak, and my heart is full of positive energy. For the stability of this team and the people here, I feel a great responsibility, and I can't be sloppy on such an occasion.
