The matter of the last banquet seemed to have passed like this, and those wealthy families and clerks all said hello again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xiao Yi's side was not so calm, and a few days later, it was rumored that Xiao Yi had already shown Fan Kang and Ding Kui to the public in the market.

These four people have long been notorious in the town, arrogant and conniving at their subordinates, acting recklessly, and the people nearby are also deeply affected, and now being beheaded by Xiao Yi is naturally very happy, and the streets and alleys are full of praise for Xiao Yi's move.

After that, the General Military Office returned to calm, but not long after, news came out from the Prison Military Office that it was the Lord of the Prison Army who was in charge of disarmament matters, and the General Military Office had approved the matter.

Disarmament will begin in the near future, and the target of that disarmament will naturally be those thousands of soldiers.

Since Xiao Yi arrived in Zhencheng, he was the first to dispose of several veteran generals such as Wu Rui, the deputy chief soldier who originally held heavy troops.

And Xiao Yi still did not have the slightest intention of stopping after holding the power, and set up pickets, but as long as the rest of the original Zhencheng Qian had a little problem and was caught by Xiao Yi, immediately a brigade of Yongan soldiers drove into the barracks, arrested them mercilessly, and was seriously beheaded.

By now, there are not a few thousand people left in the original town, and those thousands of ruffians are naturally leaderless, and they are idle all day long, and people are panicked.

It was at this time that the news of disarmament came out, and this became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and these people were mentally broken, not knowing what to do, and they were in constant fear.

Originally, these soldiers and ruffians lost their officials, but they still had the status of officers and soldiers, and they could still easily get paid, which was still acceptable to them.

But as soon as the disarmament policy came out, they were horrified.

Disarmament? Whom to cut? Who else can there be but them, will they still be able to cut the Yongan army?

Almost all of them rely on the name of this officer and soldier to eat, and the people they meet when they go out are afraid of them, and the town and city also rely on them to guard, and it is common to oppress the people, and the convenience of this identity makes them reluctant to give up.

What's more, if they are laid off, how will they beg for a living in the future?

These delicious and lazy soldiers are no more ruthless than bandits, and begging along the street makes them shameless to do, once they leave this military uniform, they are useless, most of them want to become thieves and scourge the party, so Xiao Yi has always killed these people to prevent future troubles.

The remaining Qian Zong had already been frightened by the prestige of the Yong'an Army and Xiao Yi's strict rules and did not dare to speak more, as long as they could keep the name of Qian Zong, they would be very satisfied.

But their subordinates are not necessarily the same as them, and if Mr. Qian doesn't do anything, at least he can keep his reputation and won't starve to death.

But if they don't do something, they will lose their ability to eat!

Therefore, since the disarmament policy came out, some people have seen thousands of soldiers and ruffians in the western military camp gathering together almost all day long, and angry scolding is constantly coming out, making noise all day long, and they don't know what they are talking about.

In response to these, Xiao Yi not only did not have any reaction, but made step by step concessions, and the disarmament was even suspended for a while.

Xiao Yi's concession made these soldiers think that they were powerful, and they became more and more arrogant, shouting and shouting, and now they are almost out of the barracks and smashing them.

……

Time passed slowly, and soon came to February 1 of the fifth year of Chongzhen.

According to the imperial calendar, the Spring Festival of Chongzhen's fifth year is on the 20th of this month, which is less than 20 days away.

And most of the people can only take out what little savings they have, go to the market to buy some good and cheap bargains, and just survive the Spring Festival.

Compared with Datong Town, Ulzhou is full of New Year's flavor.

Ulzhou has been quiet for almost two years, and during this time, due to the Zhenwei battalion under the Yongan Army, Datong East Road has already become a forbidden area for thieves and bandits, and a prosperous scene.

Every day, a large number of homeless people came to visit, and Li Erniu, the garrison of Ulzhou, screened these people and entered them into the register according to Xiao Yi's instructions.

Households of three or more were arranged to distribute land in the nearby village forts and tunpu, which were controlled by the local lieutenants and chiefs, and those who fought alone were mostly arranged to help in various workshops, but there was no chaos.

In such an environment, the people of Ulju have already had their own savings, and when they are about to celebrate the New Year, they will begin to visit relatives and friends and buy New Year's goods, which is a happy scene.

At the same time in Datong Town, Xiao Yi was looking at the newspaper in the lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion that day, looking at it, suddenly his hands clenched into fists, and slammed on the table, making a 'bang'.

At this moment, a soldier entered the lobby and said carefully.

"General, the brothers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion have something important to report!"

Putting down this newspaper from Liaodong, Xiao Yi said: "Let him come in!" ”

As the sound of footsteps sounded, a soldier wearing cavalry elite armor and a steel scimitar hanging from his waist walked into the lobby and hugged his fist and said: "General, there is movement over there!" ”

Seeing Xiao Yi's eyes coming, the cavalry of the flying cavalry battalion breathed a screen, and continued: "Not long ago, I saw a person dressed in civilian clothes rushing out of the east gate from the Futai Yamen on a horse, and the purpose was the Beijing Division!" ”

As he spoke, the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion couldn't help but show a look of admiration on their faces, Xiao Yi had been asking them to pay attention to the movements of the governor's yamen, could it be that they had expected this to happen?

Xiao Yiyan nodded when he heard this, and said lightly: "Secret transmission of this general's order, intercept it dozens of miles away, and don't let anyone in this line go out of the territory." ”

Suddenly, Xiao Yi seemed to remember something, and instructed: "Send someone to watch the Huang Mansion, and if there is any abnormal movement, intercept it immediately!" ”

Although the soldiers of the flying cavalry battalion knew that this might be to report to the imperial court, they did not have the slightest reason, and clenched their fists and said: "Obey the general's order!" ”

After saying that, he strode out of the mansion.

It didn't take long for the military camp of the flying cavalry camp outside the city to gallop in, and a group of more than a dozen horsemen drove fast horses, wrapped horses' hooves and chased forward, and outside the Huangfu inadvertently, there were also a lot of young people in tattered clothes but with a fierce expression, who seemed to be wandering back and forth nearby.

About three hours later, Xiao Yi looked at the note that had just been intercepted in front of him, which was actually presented to Emperor Chongzhen by the governor of Datong.

Xiao Yi hesitated slightly, opened the music with his big hand and watched it carefully, and sneered after looking at it for a long time.

Throwing this note to the ground, Xiao Yi said in a deep voice: "I have taken a good look at the Futai Yamen for this general, and if there is any change, I will report it immediately!" If there is a letter in the Huang Mansion, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, they can be killed. ”

Below, Liu Sheng saw the expression on Xiao Yi's face, and also knew the importance of the matter, so he hugged his fists and said: "The last general will order this, watch out day and night, and make sure that nothing goes wrong!" ”

"Hmm."

Not long after, another sergeant from the flying cavalry battalion came to report, saying that he saw a carrier pigeon flying out of the Huang Mansion, and the destination was Jingshi.

But the sergeant's bird shot not so high, and he could only watch the carrier pigeon fly in the direction of Jingshi.

Xiao Yi was a little surprised after hearing the report, but he didn't show the slightest hint of panic on his face, just nodded lightly.

On the surface, the town is still calm, but secretly it is turbulent, and this calm before the storm lasted until the day before the Spring Festival.
