Chapter 515: Zhao Zhilong's Outstanding Contribution
Soon, the guy at the restaurant walked downstairs.
After coming down, he never drank alcohol, but this time he came to the front desk and poured himself a glass, still feeling a little frightened.
In retrospect, the people of this security department seem to be another five-city soldier and horse division at first glance, patrolling everywhere in the city, and arresting thieves has always been arrogant and vulgar.
But if you think about it carefully, there is still a big difference between the officials of the Security Department and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and they often act in accordance with the regulations of the Shandong Army.
Although everyone is afraid, after so much time, there is really no abuse of power to make a fortune, and I have heard a lot of rumors about this kind of thing just now.
At first, this guy and most people listened to it as a joke, and the heart official was ruthless, as long as he caught the slightest fault, then he hated to use this to squeeze your bone marrow clean.
The people in the Security Department acted ruthlessly, and many of them were salters from Shandong, and they were used to catching salt, even when they arrived in Nanjing, the way to deal with things was still like this.
But then again, people in this prosperous place still eat this set, and if you are a little soft, there will be some rats who think you are weak and can be bullied, so you can gain an inch.
As long as the people of the Security Division receive Wang Zheng's order, they will not care about the personal face and background of the other party, and will only use the most direct way to complete the task, that is, to bring people back with the momentum of salt seizure.
In their eyes, as long as it is the person that Marquis Anton wants to arrest today, he must have done nothing good, and there is no need to show mercy.
In contrast, the way the Five Cities Terracotta Division handles cases does not look like "handling cases" at all, they are generally fake public and private, using this kind of name to eat and drink everywhere, and oppress ordinary people.
Like the kind of thing just now, if it was the court official of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, it would not be necessary for this restaurant guy to save his life, but the best result would be to be scolded bloody, or beaten to a blue nose and swollen face.
There are many reasons why the officials of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are hated, the most important point is that these officials eat people and don't spit out bones at all, and often use chicken feathers as arrows, and they can force your family to ruin if you button any hat.
Don't say that ordinary people who have no power, even those restaurant owners, shopkeepers and the like, often have to rely on constantly sending silver to the yamen in the end, so that big things can be turned into small things, and small things can be settled.
It has been more than three months since the Shandong army entered the city, and except for some changes in the city in the first month, it has now completely restored its former prosperity.
But the strange thing is that the ordinary court officials, the sons and daughters of the honorable relatives, and the domestic servants of the various prefectures are gone, and they are replaced by soldiers and generals who patrol the streets and alleys with knives and guns, as well as those subordinates of the Security Division.
Whenever they see someone fighting for the tiger in the city, they will directly take the person, and if they encounter any resistance, they will not hesitate to draw their swords and see blood.
There was an incident that had recently spread widely in the Nanjing area, when an ordinary soldier of the Shandong Army was patrolling with a few soldiers, he encountered a few bullies who were indecent to a good woman in broad daylight.
How could the soldiers of the Shandong Army get used to this kind of thing, they were not angry at that time, and immediately stepped forward to stop it, and they didn't kill them at that time, and drove away a few bullies.
This was a very common thing, but these bullies were the private servants of the Xincheng Bozhao Zhilong Mansion, and they have always held a grudge since then.
It turned out that after the soldier of the Shandong Army rescued the woman, the woman was grateful, revealing that she wanted to make a promise.
Although Shi Chang said that he was an energetic young man in his early twenties, he was good at fighting and killing people, but this was the first time he had experienced this kind of thing, and he was startled at the time, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally he left in a daze under the pretext of patrolling.
When he thought about it later, he felt that he was too stupid, and when he thought that he was still playing a single, he suddenly regretted it, so he bought a piece of jewelry and put it in front of the woman's door.
Every night he would go to see if the jewelry was still there, and this pattern was soon discovered by the bullies, who brought weapons and laid an ambush one night, and the soldiers swarmed up as they passed by the door of the women's room, killing her and throwing her body.
The bullies tried in vain to cover their tracks, but in general they did a decent job, and the corpses were thrown into the river outside the city and they didn't know where they floated, and even the blood stains were covered with dust.
But they don't know the complete structure of the Shandong army, and if a person disappears for no reason, it won't take long to be discovered.
The sentry was angry at first, thinking that the chief had violated military regulations and went out to spend all day drinking.
It is not surprising that Nanjing is too prosperous, and in the first month after entering the city, many soldiers and horses from outside the Shandong military absconded at night to drink, play cards, or solicit prostitutes.
At that time, Huang Yang, the deputy general who had not long returned from Zhenjiang Mansion, personally went out to rectify military discipline and killed a foreign guerrilla in the school field in accordance with military regulations.
But this trend still didn't stop, Huang Yang killed three thousand generals one after another, and the head was on the wall of the barracks, which stabilized the morale of the army.
This kind of thing happened to the soldiers, and it was still in the outpost they were responsible for, which really made people lose face.
But the sentinel noticed that something was wrong, and after a few days, it was as if the world had evaporated, and no one knew where it had gone.
Soon, after a brief inquiry and deliberation, the sentry officer reported the news of the disappearance of the head of the sentry, suspecting that he had been killed.
Deng Heizi was very shocked when he heard the report, and immediately went down to the camp in person, and after asking the soldiers who were patrolling that day, he immediately locked his eyes on the Zhao Mansion.
However, Zhao Zhilong's matter is really difficult to handle, after all, he is the first honored relative to contact the Shandong Army, and the two parties still have oral transactions on letters, if this time it is too abrupt, it will inevitably cause people to feel like they are unloading the mill and killing the donkey.
Deng Heizi also knew that there was a lot involved at this time, so he didn't act rashly, and reported to the Military Affairs Department after returning home, and everyone discussed it together.
Li Yan, the leftist military councilor, felt that the biggest thing at present was to stabilize the locality, and that Anton Hou had to deal with a lot of complicated and diverse affairs in various places every day, and that if this matter was not handled well, it would easily cause adverse effects.
Deng Heizi also nodded after hearing this, and felt that if it really didn't work, this wicked man would do it himself, and it was not appropriate to alarm Hou Ye for the time being.
The staff officers discussed and decided that the bell must be tied to the bell, and Zhao Zhilong had the first credit to help the Shandong army occupy Nanjing.
At present, the best of both worlds is to touch the meaning of Zhao Zhilong.
Zhao Fu has always restrained his subordinates very strictly, these people should come out to have fun privately, and they only need to knock on the side, maybe they can solve it perfectly.
Gu Junen recommended himself and prepared to go to the Li Mansion in person.
Although Gu Junen is usually a little frizzy, he knows when to say something, and he is one of the few people who understands, and Li Yan is also at ease with him.
Not to mention, Zhao Zhilong really didn't know anything about this matter, and his expression was very rich after hearing it.
The kind of shocked and angry, and a little worried about Anton's settlement after the autumn, was clearly seen by Gu Junen, and it didn't look like he was acting at all.
Zhao Zhilong was very knowledgeable, and without waiting for Gu Junen to make a request, he had already ordered the housekeeper to tie up a few people.
And at that time, he put down the words, saying that he could do whatever he wanted, and these people had nothing to do with him from then on.
As soon as Gu Junen went back to talk to the people in the Military Division, everyone laughed, and many people said that they looked down on Zhao Zhilong, and the city government was not very deep.
This is not over, Zhao Zhilong may be really afraid that Wang Zheng will take advantage of this to unload the mill and kill the donkey, feel unstable, and feel uneasy in the mansion, and personally took a few large boxes of jewelry to visit the Military Council Department early the next morning, saying that he had paid the future Cao Yun Li gold in advance.
Several large boxes of treasures were naturally confiscated, and when Li Yan and Gu Junen finished talking about this matter as it was, Wang Zheng couldn't cry or laugh.
Zhao Zhilong is a model for the Shandong Army to buy Jiangnan Xunqi, at least on the surface, he wants him to be good, and he didn't plan to deal with it, but it is good to use this matter to suppress Xunqi and let them be honest.
Therefore, in the end, Wang Zheng took credit for the clerks and staff officers of the military council department in charge of this matter, and for the sake of public order in the city, he ordered the nobles to cut the number of private soldiers, which must be controlled within fifty people, which is considered a slight punishment.
Zhao Zhilong finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this result, what he was afraid of, not how Wang Zheng would punish him severely, but that something happened but there was no movement at all, and he was punished before he felt at ease.
This incident has reached the point where women and children are well known in Nanjing, and in fact, it is also a turning point in the inherent views of the people in Jiangnan about the Shandong Army.
Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong is like this, those self-proclaimed meritorious relatives are honest all of a sudden, and even many people have laid off some private children.
......
The wooden planks of the stairs creaked, and the soldiers who were sulking in their chests upstairs didn't seem to have noticed that the danger was coming, Hou Fangyu was still standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, and Song Zhengyu was still drinking alone.
After a while, the small leader of the security department and the people had already come to the third floor, gathered at the staircase, brandished a knife, and began to knock on the door one by one.
"The security department is handling the case, the idle people are waiting, go downstairs quickly!"
"Go downstairs!"
On the third floor are all kinds of well-decorated private rooms, and most of the guests in them are well-known figures in the city, either with some possessions or good reputations.
As soon as these people went upstairs, it can be said that they had destroyed all the artistic conception of this pavilion, and if they had been in the past, they would have been reprimanded angrily.
But now, no one dared to say anything, and they all trotted down the stairs in a gloomy manner, for fear of being caught by the other party staying here.
They can get to the point where they are now, they must not be stupid, and they naturally know that officials who take people can't be easily provoked.
These people can easily say that the black is white, and the white is black, and what they are best at is to catch people and throw them into the prison, and draw knives at every turn.
You can't reason with him, and you can't beat it, and it's the best policy to spend money to find a way after retreating, which is already one of the ways for many people to solve the problem.
What's more, this security department is different from the five-city soldiers and horses division of the imperial court, and there is a behemoth standing behind it.
