Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival of the third year of Chongzhen, Jiangdong, which had been lifeless under large-scale turmoil, finally ushered in a trace of vitality, and although there were many "gourd cases" in the rapid trial of tens of thousands of important cases involving the military and exemplary civil cases in various places within a month, it brought an unprecedented hint in the entire southeast area, and any grievances could be adjudicated at a very low cost. Although the outcome and even the process of the ruling may not be fair, nor may it be as you wish, compared with the high and dreaded cost of lawsuits in the past, many things have to be resolved by clans and even people in the rivers and lakes, and the cost of resolving various contradictions and risks has been greatly reduced. The conclusion of nearly 1,000 cases involving "one's own people" in a serious and speedy manner also hints to people that the new era is not necessarily an era in which martial artists and even factory guards arbitrarily decide everything.

Although it is not as good as in previous years, considering the special background of the chaos that has just been experienced, this trace of anger also seems to imply that this year and beyond, many shackles will be opened to seek a living.

However, just when the trial of cases in the temporary courts outside the city was not as urgent as before, and when it was a little more leisurely, hundreds of officers and soldiers came from other places and had a considerable clash and armed fight with the "Dharma Hall Guards" outside the temporary courts outside Hangzhou. Of course, what is more important is that not all of the temporary court guards are willing or dare to resist, and as members of the army, many people in the court guards are also a little unaccustomed to the arrogant attitude of those "juries" and "temporary judges" who infringe on the interests of the army. Still others were unsure whether the former revolutionary officers and soldiers, whose identities seemed to be confirmed by their accents and language habits, were the ones they could shoot and kill at will. In this way, in the midst of the raid and chaos, at least 11 provisional court judges and more than 100 temporary juries were reunited to death or seriously injured.

When Xiao Xuan, who heard the news, led the personal guard battalion to the top of the city in person, most of the guards and jurors of the temporary law hall had to flee to the city gate.

After just a moment of thought, Xiao Xuan ordered without hesitation: "Those people are not our own people!" It's the rebellion of the rebellion, fire! Try to get a captive, though! ”

"They don't seem to be carrying ordnance... When a pro-soldier officer said this, he saw Xiao Xuan's somewhat sharp gaze.

"Got it! An enemy who does not carry regular ordnance is also an enemy! Fire! Try to avoid the upper plate! ”

After the continuous sound of guns, and even after the sound of guns, the cavalry spear and horse team that rushed out of the city gate quickly killed hundreds of officers and soldiers who were making trouble outside the city, killed and wounded more than 200 people, and captured more than 400 people.

This method of dealing with the enemy's attack was something that the hundreds of revolutionary officers and soldiers who came to hold grievances had not thought of before, and many people seemed to feel that there was probably a misunderstanding, and shouted: "We are our own people, and we should be able to find it easily with our handprints and rosters!" ”

"yes, we also have some tokens in the team...

However, Xiao Xuan's personal soldiers who rushed from Hangzhou City did not reason anything with these people, but detained them without saying anything, and after these people were completely disarmed, Xiao Xuan also walked down from the city without fear, and said in public: "Do you dare to say that you are from the revolutionary army? If you are an enemy outside the ranks, then you are now just prisoners of war, and if you are more conscious, you may be able to become your own. However, you are now a repeat offender! Not only will you be convicted, but your family will also be affected, and if you don't report it, your company won't be able to escape. Of course, if you have a more correct attitude and explain some of the facts, and even the people behind you, then it may be possible to atonement ... ”

Worried that these people would not understand where their crimes were, Xiao Xuan continued: "After the reform, the most serious crimes are not only the so-called ten evils and rebellion, but also the errors of organizational principles. If you guys have any comments or have any problems. The way to deal with this should be through the internal reaction of the soldiers' committee or the internal intelligence department, and if this passage is blocked, it can be resolved by anonymous reporting or escaping to the central government. And your choice now proves that you no longer subconsciously think that you are a soldier who should sacrifice everything for the revolutionary cause, but that you intend to rely on your special status and status to negotiate with the Central Committee about the conditions of the ruffian, and you are taking the method of directly confronting and endangering the reputation of the imperial court and even the revolutionary army. Therefore, of course, you and those behind you must be severely punished! ”

"Your Majesty! It is us ... It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"yes...

"Does it matter, see you in the prison!" Xiao Xuan said mercilessly.

In this way, in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the third year of Chongzhen, a purge of the revolutionary army system and the temporary garrison system for expatriates began. Perhaps thinking that this was not enough, Xiao Xuan also convened an internal meeting between the instructors concentrated in the southeast and the officers of the Central Route Army of the Revolutionary Army. Several phenomena of organizational principles and warlord style are stated. Of course, one of the most serious mistakes is a lack of understanding of mission and identity, and thinking that you are a person who can bargain for profit by virtue of your identity. In the same vein, one-third of the officers at or above the grass-roots level of the armies dispatched abroad have been further punished and liquidated, and as many as one-fifth of the units at or above the company level have been abolished or reorganized.

This kind of purge also caused some uneasiness among the people around Xiao Xuan, the identity of Zhou Dayong and others was not convenient to speak, Tian Xiuying also found an opportunity to persuade in private: "Now that the sea is undecided, the power of Jianzhou outside the customs has not been able to be truly eliminated, is it too early to purge at this time?" ”

Xiao Xuan was silent for a long time, but said firmly: "The cause of innovation was originally born against the sky, and to a certain extent, it was also against the immediate and temporary selfish interests of the monarch, of course, it was risky. I was ready to die in the second life, or even in this life. But once successful, the meaning is not just as simple as the merit in the future... ”

Tian Xiuying, as a person close to Xiao Xuan, had also heard a lot about some goals and theories, so she didn't say anything about it, just prayed that there wouldn't be any chaos.
