Zhao Ziliang sat and looked at the generals and officials on the left and right, looked at the hourglass of the timer, and said: "The situation you have seen during the day, you all know what the situation of the curfew is, we still don't know, in this case, you will accompany a certain person to take a closer look tonight, anyway, you are all full of food and drink, what do you think?" ”

How dare everyone not agree, they hurriedly agreed in unison.

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang saw that these people knew each other, nodded, and said: "Now there is still a period of time before the curfew starts, Chen Qing, you send someone to find a few Lang generals who are in charge of curfew supervision, and then find Gong Ren, and then go to prepare armor and weapons for the generals, captains and adults, and tonight we will dress up as patrol soldiers!" ”

"No!"

Soon the six right guard generals also came one after another, these six Lang will each be responsible for the patrol and supervision of a street, which belongs to the secret supervision, Gong Ren also came soon, he is the top boss of the six Lang generals, but he has just been transferred, he is not familiar with the work, and he does not know much about the subordinate Lang generals.

Gong Ren bowed his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said, "General, I don't know what the general ordered me to send someone to wait for?" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the generals and officials next to him: "Tonight, we decided to disguise ourselves as patrol soldiers to secretly inspect the implementation of the curfew, and you are also together, is there a problem?" ”

Gong Ren hurriedly arched his hand and said, "No! ”

After Zhao Ziliang's proposal, the start of the curfew was postponed to nine o'clock in the evening during the summer and autumn, and just after nine o'clock, a group of patrol soldiers to enforce the curfew were sent out from the Zuojin Wuwei Mansion, each of which had 20 people, each led by a captain on horseback, patrolling along the streets of Chang'an County. Even school officials who walk on the streets without official duties will be arrested and severely fined.

Zhao Ziliang and others also changed into the armor of the captain and the soldiers, and walked out of the Zuojin Wuwei Mansion with waist knives mixed in with the soldiers in this team, which is not only a place to work, but also a place for soldiers to be stationed.

Zhao Ziliang dressed as a school captain, holding a spear, a horizontal knife at his waist, and a bow and quiver hanging on the right side of the horse's belly. Riding horses at the front, the other generals all dressed as ordinary soldiers, armed with spears in two neat columns, followed behind.

In the street, apart from the sound of horses' hooves and neat footsteps, there was the occasional barking of dogs, but there was no other sound except for the first time, even the cry of a child at the beginning, and after the patrol soldier passed by, the cry of a child was gone. There were some lights in the houses at first, but they were soon all turned off. People in this era have always gone to bed early and got up early, and there is no entertainment at night. Other cities are okay, there is no curfew, and the people can go home no matter how late they play, but not in Chang'an, and the dignitaries can only raise some singers in their own homes to entertain themselves.

Zhao Ziliang rode a horse and followed a group of soldiers dressed as generals and officials behind him into Suzaku Street, and the patrol work of Suzaku Street was jointly responsible for Zuo Jin Wuwei and Youjin Wuwei, each in charge of one side of the street. As a result, several patrols can often be seen on this street.

The direction of the patrol is not to the right, but to the left. Keeping to the right as opposed to normal pedestrians allows them to hit people walking on the street at night.

There were three patrols on Suzaku Street tonight, usually only twice, and the team led by Zhao Ziliang aroused the idea of the other two teams, one of which was the patrol of the right Jin Wuwei, and the other was also the patrol of the left Jin Wuwei.

When I walked to the middle of Suzaku Street. The patrol in front stopped, and the captain who led the troops turned his horse and stood next to his team, waiting for Zhao Ziliang's team to come over.

When Zhao Ziliang approached with the patrol, the captain pointed the spear in his hand at Zhao Ziliang and asked, "I said this brother, are you going the wrong way?" Which general's men are you? This Suzaku Street is our patrol tonight! ”

Zhao Ziliang arched his hand and said, "Haha, this brother." We didn't go the wrong way, we are from the 3rd Battalion, and tonight we are temporarily dispatched to patrol the streets freely."

The lieutenant suddenly realized, and arched his hand: "It turns out that he was temporarily dispatched to patrol the streets freely, it seems that he has a certain heart!" ”

After the team reached the Mingde Gate, they began to turn around and return, and staggered with the team led by Zhao Ziliang.

The route was not planned in advance, but was decided by Zhao Ziliang temporarily, and he could go as he wanted. After a long turn, except for the previous questioning by the captain on Suzaku Street, he encountered the patrol team again along the way, but he was not questioned and interrogated again.

Zhao Ziliang did not supervise this time, nor did he come to really patrol the streets, so he did not come forward to arrest these generals and officials who were still walking on the streets after the curfew.

The secret visit lasted for several days, and even Zhao Ziliang's good body was tired enough, and the other generals and officials were even more unbearable, and after a few days, everyone became haggard.

On the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, after the secret visit, Zhao Ziliang summoned his generals and officials to discuss in the lobby.

Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat and looked at the generals and officials on the left and right, and asked, "After two days of rest, have you all recovered?" ”

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you for the general's compassion for his subordinates, we have recovered."

"Okay, now let's get down to business!" Zhao Ziliang nodded, "A few days ago, most of you participated in person, I don't know what you think, in my opinion, the right guard under the command of General Ben patrols the streets is very bad, especially during the day, the night curfew is slightly better, but there are also many violations, obviously I saw people walking on the street, the patrol team just didn't come forward to interrogate, why?" Because these people are generals and high-ranking officials, the patrol team is afraid of causing trouble and offending people, and the soldiers who patrol the streets during the day are afraid of the heat and want to be lazy, and even the soldiers who have no duty tasks do not practice in the battalion, this is not only the problem of the soldiers, you officials, generals and the captains and military leaders below are inseparable, if it is not for your indulgence, why is the situation like this? This situation can't go on forever, otherwise Zuo Jin Wuwei will soon become a straggler, without any combat effectiveness at all, and some people are used to living a good life, slacking off and becoming lazy! If you don't want to change, think that you can't stand the strict military discipline, think that you can't afford to offend those powerful people, you can ask General Ben to be transferred to other guards, as long as you can find the next home, General Ben will never leave it difficult! But if you decide to stay, then you have to work hard, then you have to be prepared to offend people, we are soldiers, soldiers should not be afraid of offending people, if soldiers are afraid of offending people, are you not afraid of offending military discipline and military orders? Offending military discipline and military orders, this is going to be a headshot!

This general doesn't care what you did before, even if you have made a big mistake before, this general will not be held accountable, but if you want to stay, you must not be afraid of offending people, from now on you must restrain your subordinates, and set a good example for the captains, military leaders and soldiers below, the military discipline stipulated by Zuo Jin Wuwei is ready-made, this general has seen it, there is no need to revise it, what we have to do is to strictly enforce it!

For example, military discipline stipulates that when the patrol team patrols the streets during the day, if they find someone causing trouble on the street and do not see it or deal with it, once it is discovered, it will first severely punish the captain and the head of the army, and then punish the whole team; Another example is the night curfew, the street patrol team clearly sees someone walking on the street and violates the curfew, but they don't care, let them go, once discovered, the same heavy fine! For these people who do not act, are lazy, and gamble in the process of duty, no matter who they are, once they are discovered, they will be served by military sticks, and their heads will fall to the ground! Gong Ren, you and your six generals will be responsible for supervising, no matter who does not act, violates military discipline, or military orders, they will be arrested and will not be merciful! ”

Gong Ren stood up and agreed: "Obey!" ”

"That's the first point!" Zhao Ziliang said, and said: "Second, the following people collect money from the people who set up stalls in the process of patrolling the streets, extort money when dealing with disputes, and extort money from criminals who are caught and violators of the curfew. You have also seen it these days, the soldiers below collect money from the people who set up stalls, and the people only make a little money after a hard day, and the soldiers and ruffians take half of it, and the people dare not speak out, and the people are afraid that they have scolded the eight generations of our ancestors, right? The location of the people's stalls is indeed on the boundary of our Jinwuwei, and we should collect some money, but the number must be re-regulated, not indiscriminately, not overcharged, and the money collected before has fallen into whose pockets? Yes? General Ben didn't find this income in the accounts of the treasury at all, where did the money go? In the past, the general could not care about it, but from tomorrow onwards, all the money collected will be put into the treasury, and rewards will be given to everyone during the New Year's holidays, so that all generals, officials, and soldiers will have a share. In addition, it is necessary to strictly prohibit extortion and extortion in the course of handling official duties, and once discovered, they will be punished with military sticks at the slightest and dismissed from their posts and investigated at the worst. For the criminals who are caught and those who violate the curfew, a little food, accommodation, clothing, sanitation, and management fees can be charged, and some visiting fees can be charged for those who visit, but these fees must be uniformly specified, and they cannot be collected arbitrarily, and no one can be caught collecting money indiscriminately! Changshi Pei Mingqing, on how to stipulate the amount of fees, this matter is up to you, after the arrears are collected, they will be deposited in the treasury for your safekeeping, the accounts must be clear, to make people well-documented, we must collect the money openly, to collect it without fear of being checked, these are not taken by a certain person, but all the soldiers of our entire Zuojin Wuwei have a share! ”

Pei Mingqing immediately stood up and bowed: "Obey the general's order!" (To be continued.) )
