The cause of this fight is not complicated. Fastest updates

When these people entered the valley, their rations were rationed, that is, free of charge per capita.

Generally speaking, the daily ration of a child under the age of ten is half a catty, which is eight taels at this time. For those over the age of ten, it is a daily ration of one pound per person.

These rations are distributed by the Civil Affairs Division and are distributed every five days. Each time, the two neighboring villages distributed it together, and the treasurer of the Civil Affairs Department led the people to distribute it, and each village organized and organized people to come to pull the grain.

When they arrived, the treasurer would check the population book of the village and distribute it according to the number of people.

Today it happens that this village of naturalized Mongols receives food at the same time as another village.

These naturalized Mongols came to the valley after Jiangchuan's defeat of the Qing army, and this was the first time they received grain, so after seeing the grain they received, they felt that it was not enough for them to eat, so they began to complain, scold, and some people even started to rob the grain of another village.

The other village also came from young students, and of course they would not suffer, so the two sides quickly scolded each other without saying a word. At first, the two sides had some consideration for the law, but soon the conflict between the two sides quickly escalated after someone took action, from scolding to scuffling, and finally to the point of using the weapon.

Both sides were men with strong blood, and the fight could not be contained, so they both ran back to their respective villages to call for people, and as a result, the scale of the conflict became larger and larger, and finally it became a fight between the two villages.

By the time Liu Ji heard the news and brought people over, the weapon fight had already caused more than 70 deaths and more than 200 injuries, not a few casualties as Jiang Chuan thought.

"My lord, that's the way it is." After Liu Ji finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chuan with a solemn face.

The occurrence of such a serious weapon fighting incident caused so many casualties was already quite serious, Liu Ji thought that Jiang Chuan would definitely be furious, so he was mentally prepared.

At first, Jiang Chuan's face was gloomy, but after listening to it, his face became more and more calm, and finally he laughed, and Liu Ji was a little inexplicable when he saw it.

"Lord, you ......"

"Strategist, this matter seems serious, but in the end, it is very simple. Since we have already issued a decree first, we will deal with it according to the law. Since it was going to happen sooner or later, it happened early as soon as it was also a good opportunity for us to take a superficial attitude. So, you can do whatever you want, and you can go back and let me know. Jiang Chuan patted Liu Ji's shoulder and laughed.

Looking at Jiang Chuan's smile, Liu Ji was silent for a moment, with a resolute look on his face, and bowed to Jiang Chuan and said solemnly: "Lord, Liu Ji understands, and he will definitely not disappoint the lord." ”

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "Military Division, this part of civil affairs, as long as you think it is right, you can do it boldly, and don't have any worries." Since we have the law first, then everything should be done according to the law, and if there are special circumstances, we will discuss and decide. There are some things that can't be done without killing a few people. Now that we have embarked on this path, the last thing we are afraid of is the dead. ”

Liu Ji nodded solemnly and said, "Lord, I know what to do." ”

Jiang Chuan smiled and left with the personal guards.

He probably knew what kind of decision Liu Ji would make, and what he hoped was that Liu Ji would be ruthless. If Liu Ji is not ruthless enough, he will add another fire to him.

This incident, as he himself said, looked like a mess, but it was actually a good opportunity to rectify the interior, to the Department of Civil Affairs, to Liu Jiliwei, and to determine the supremacy of the law.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the processing documents handed over by Liu Ji were placed on Jiang Chuan's desk.

The handling was very simple and cruel: all the seven hundred and two people who participated in this weapon fight were beheaded. One thousand two hundred and thirty-two people from the two villages sat together according to the decree. All men over the age of 15 were sent to the back mountains to serve hard labor for one year. The daily food ration for people under the age of 15 will be reduced by 30 per cent for a year. Those who do not wish to serve hard labor are to be expelled from the valley. Moreover, the punishment of the naturalized Mongols in the village that provoked the fighting was doubled.

Seeing this handling opinion, even Jiang Chuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Liu Ji and a literati to be so ruthless, which was even more ruthless than he thought in his heart.

Originally, he thought that he would just behead all those who participated in the armed fight and caused death and injury, and the others who did not cause human life were punished with hard labor, but he didn't expect Liu Ji's hand to be larger, the disposal more decisive, and the scope of continuous sitting was wider.

When Jiang Chuan saw this handling opinion, he knew that Liu Ji must have gone through the torment and hesitation in his heart, after all, it was more than 700 lives, but he made such a decision the most, obviously not just to show himself, but he really realized how bad the impact would be if he was not decisive enough to deal with this matter and not ruthless enough.

It can be said that not only Jiang Chuan himself is waiting to see how Liu Ji will deal with it, but more than 20,000 people are also waiting to see how the Civil Affairs Department will deal with it.

Jiang Chuan was in Liaoyang City last time to establish a letter in exchange for the trust of the people. This time, the blade must be raised high to make the people fearful.

Governing the world is not only to make the people virtuous, but also to make the people fearful. This power is not the power of Jiangchuan, nor the power of Liu Ji, but the power of the law.

Make it clear to everyone that everything is okay to do what the law allows. If you dare to break the law, you will have to pay a heavy price.

Jiang Chuan looked at the manuscript in front of him, and felt that the words were like knives and heavy like a thousand pounds, so he didn't pick up the pen next to him for a long time. He knew that after he went down, more than 700 people would fall to the ground.

Although he no longer has the psychological burden of killing, and he knows that these people deserve it, he still can't make up his mind in his heart.

The thousands of people he had killed before were all Tartars, his enemies. But now it is the people under his rule who are going to be killed, and the two concepts are different.

No matter how many battles he has experienced, no matter how hard his heart has become, there are still some modern souls born in a peaceful era in his heart who are in awe of life.

This made his heart extremely heavy at the moment, and he slowly closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Chuan finally opened his eyes, and his eyes were already clear, and the color of determination was extremely clear. He picked up the goose feather pen in his hand and solemnly wrote a big "accurate!" on the manuscript in front of him. Word.
