Tao Dakun and Wu Zhicheng and others lowered their heads in shame by Zhao Ziliang's words, they also came from a young age with enthusiasm, they also dreamed of fighting for the country and dreaming of winning fame by horses, but the reality made them lose their former fighting spirit and broke their former vision.

Zhao Ziliang scolded, turned to face the audience and looked at everyone and said loudly: "Look at you, look at you, standing loose, how do you look like a soldier?" is almost like a ruffian, no wonder he is scolded as a soldier ruffian, that is, a ruffian in military clothes! Starting tomorrow, except for the heads and soldiers who are to be on duty, everyone else will gather in front of the barracks for drills, including the general! Those who are late and do not come, will be beaten with 20 military sticks, and 50 military sticks will be beaten at the worst, and those who need to take leave must come over in person to ask for leave from the general, and no one shall take leave on their behalf, otherwise military law will be engaged! Each person has two days off a month, and when he is not on duty, he must leave the general in the open space of the barracks for drills, and the captain and the commander must take leave from the general when they go out, and the soldier must take leave from the commander if he has an urgent matter, and he must take leave from the commander, and if any of you disagree with the general's regulations, you can stand up now, and no one may violate it afterwards, otherwise military law will not tolerate it."

Tao Dakun looked left and right, then looked at the soldiers below, gritted his teeth and took two steps forward and arched his hand: "General, this rule has been set a long time ago, you suddenly changed it, isn't it right?" Besides, the soldiers may not be used to it! ”

Zhao Ziliang turned his head and glared at Tao Dakun and said, "It's already decided?" Who decides? Did the emperor decide it or whom? ”

"Well, no, of course not by the emperor!"

Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "As long as it is not set by the emperor, any rules can be changed, you look at you waste, if you don't train you well." There are really strong men to kill, not many, only thirty or forty people can kill you and seize the city gate! No matter what the rules of Lao Tzu used to be, from now on, what Lao Tzu said is the rules, and he has to follow what Lao Tzu said. If anyone is not convinced, you have to endure Lao Tzu, unless Lao Tzu can't do it here and it's your turn to do it! As for the question of whether you are used to it or not, after a long time, the soldiers will get used to it."

"In the past, General Ben didn't care, but from this month onwards, anyone's military salary must be paid in full, and whoever dares to deduct military salary again. If anyone dares to deliberately collect money again, it is to test whether General Ben's military law is harsh! But no one can be passive and slack off when on duty because they can't collect money indiscriminately! As far as the general knows, there are many merchants and caravans carrying contraband in and out of the city gates, and there are also many river thieves, snitches, thieves, bandits, and murderers mixed in the crowd of people entering and leaving the city. The chief will be rewarded twice, and the captain will be rewarded four. The captain rewarded him with ten times, where did the money come from? After arresting these people, we will lock them up first, interrogate them first, find out where they hid the money, and we will send someone to collect it. At the same time, their belongings were confiscated, and their families and officials were notified to come quickly. If their family members want to visit, they must first get money, ten times each time, and the yamen will send a catcher to come and pick up people. It is also necessary to pay the money first, and as for the amount to pay, it depends on the size of the prisoner's crime, at least 10 times, and at most 100 times, which is part of the source of income. In addition, for those merchants and caravans carrying contraband in and out of the city gate, once they are found, all the goods will be seized, and all the people and chariots and horses will be seized, if no one comes to negotiate within two months, the people will be handed over to the yamen for processing, and all the goods will be sold publicly by us, and the contraband will be destroyed by the harmful, and the harmless ones will be handed over to the relevant yamen, if someone comes to negotiate, the visitors will first pay 20 yuan, and then a fine will be determined according to the amount of contraband, and the contraband worth 100 yuan will be fined 200 yuan, otherwise the person will not be released. Moreover, contraband cannot be brought back, and the above two incomes are the source of future rewards and rewards for the soldiers! ”

The soldiers were very excited after hearing this, if they did this, they would definitely have a lot of income, and with the full amount of military pay, they would only get more than before, not less, although they would have to practice every day in the future, and they couldn't go out shopping at will, but this was not a benefit, and they wouldn't spend money indiscriminately if they couldn't go out casually.

At this time, Wu Zhicheng asked cautiously: "General, we will only look forward to the general in the future, but what if the caravan carrying contraband is covered by a big official, or we find someone we can't afford to provoke during the inspection?" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Wu Zhicheng and said coldly: "What are you doing?" You are responsible for the security guards of Jinguangmen, we perform official duties based on the laws of the Tang Dynasty, as long as we closely abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty and perform official duties, and do not violate the law, no one can do anything to us, unless they have the courage to openly oppose the laws of the Tang Dynasty! Don't worry, if you don't do anything wrong, even if someone asks you for trouble, General Ben will carry it for you."

Many of the people had good brains, and immediately understood what Zhao Ziliang meant, and Wu Zhicheng was even more excited: "The general is wise, we must perform official duties based on the laws of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

At dawn the next day, Zhao Ziliang ordered the assembly and drill in front of the barracks, and the soldiers were quickly assembled under the leadership of the soldiers, but no one was late or did not arrive, and they all woke up and dressed in advance, so Zhao Ziliang gave an order, and they ran out of the barracks to combine, and the whole process was less than three minutes.

This made Zhao Ziliang very satisfied, and asked the soldiers to use Shi as a unit, and each Shi assigned a subordinate as an instructor to train them, first practicing physical fitness, military posture, and queue.

Early in the morning, Zhao Ziliang led the team to run circles along the city wall in the city, shouting trumpets along the way, which made many people on the roadside curious to stop and watch.

For more than ten days in a row, there was no day of rest, and every early in the morning, the people living along the side of the city wall in Chang'an City could hear the sound of neat running and loud trumpets.

Jinguangmen is a city gate with a large flow of people in and out, and Zhao Ziliang has been standing at the gate of the city in person many times. On this day, Zhao Ziliang did not alarm the chiefs, captains and soldiers on duty on both sides inside and outside the city gate, but only took Bai Xiaode and a few other servants to quietly come to the city tower to observe the work of the soldiers, chiefs and captains on duty.

At this time, a large group of people came from outside the city, looking at the number of people is only afraid of twenty or thirty people, there is a carriage in this team, looking at the specifications and decoration of the carriage, it should not be ordinary people can have, the twenty or thirty people who guard the carriage actually have military bows and crossbows, Tang Law stipulates that the people are not allowed to use Tang Army's standard weapons and bows and crossbows, otherwise they will be punished.

Zhao Ziliang stood on the city tower and did not move, when this group of men and horses came to the city gate, the chief on duty outside the city gate not only did not bring people forward to block the inspection, but also stood aside and nodded.

Zhao Ziliang shook his head at Bai Xiaode: "Go and inform Wu Zhicheng, stop this team, check it, and bring that chief over and inform Tao Dakun to come over too."

"No!"

Wu Zhicheng, who was on duty at the city gate, received Bai Xiaode's signal, and immediately took two people and horses to stop the team of people and horses and carriages that had just walked out of the city gate.

"Stop! All dismounted and inspected! Wu Zhicheng had the support of Zhao Ziliang, and he had a lot of confidence in his heart, and he stopped this team of people and shouted in an extremely loud voice.

The procession and carriage that had just entered the city stopped, these people were all wearing strong suits, swords hanging from their waists, and bows and crossbows and arrows on their backs. ”

This momentum is indeed majestic enough, Wu Zhicheng is even a little timid, but when he thought of Zhao Ziliang standing on the city wall and watching, he suddenly felt confident again, straightened his chest and shouted: "No matter who you are, let you dismount and be inspected, you have to dismount and let us check, unless you dare to openly attack the city gate defenders, do you know what the crime of attacking the city gate defenders is?" ”

This young man didn't expect that he had encountered a hard stubble today, he really didn't dare to attack Wu Zhicheng, these city gate soldiers, you must know that attacking the city gate soldiers is equivalent to attacking the city, who dares to attack Chang'an City? There is only a traitor, he can't afford this charge, the young man's face immediately became smiling, and he arched his hand: "This brother, in the next is the third son Li Yu of the Zhongshu Order and the left servant of the Shangshu family, and he came back from outside with his family and friends just now, and asked this brother to make it convenient!" ”

Wu Zhicheng's face changed drastically after hearing this, what kind of official is Zhongshu Ling? That's the right prime minister, the current right prime minister is Li Linfu, this Li Linfu is the emperor's favorite minister, and he has been favored for a while, and he offended the third son of this one, so he can have good fruits to eat in the future? I am afraid that the loss of official positions and dismissal will be light, and if I don't get it right, I will ruin my family, Wu Zhicheng wanted to retreat for a while.

At this moment, a sentence came down from the city tower: "Who is so-and-so, it turned out to be the third son of the right prime minister's family, what's the matter, can the third son of the right prime minister's family avoid the city gate for inspection?" The emperor told a certain person that in recent months, a snitch has often entered Chang'an City into a no-man's land, so let a certain person take a good inventory here, and the third prince does not want to accept the interrogation, does it have anything to do with the snitch? Or are you a snitch yourself? If you don't dare to be checked, you will be suspected of being a snitch! ”

"You ・・・・・・" Where did Li Yu hear this kind of deliberately planted words, but Zhao Ziliang was not wrong in what he said, it was he Li Yu who didn't want to accept the cross-examination first, and there was no reason for him to refute it.

When Li Yu was in a huff, Zhao Ziliang had already taken Bai Xiaode and a few others down from the city tower, and Li Yu immediately changed into a smile and said: "It turned out to be the world-famous General Zhao, please forgive the little brother for being clumsy, I didn't see General Zhao on the city tower." General Zhao doesn't have to take it so seriously, right? You also know that I can't be a snitch at all, so why can't you get along with me? Let's go over and we'll be friends when we see each other later." (To be continued.) )
