After Chen Dingtian, Zhou Lichun and Zhou Xiuying sent Yiliang away, they had to face an important matter next, that is, to deal with the people of this Heaven and Earth Society. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the remaining 80,000 troops of the Heaven and Earth Society were rescued this time, it is also an important matter how to deal with the 80,000 troops.

For the low-level Tiandihui soldiers, they can not worry about it, either they can be recruited, or they can be directly let go back to farming and working. Even some of them will enter technical schools to carry out corresponding technical training and become future skilled workers. These low-level people will not be implicated, but those high-level and even some middle-level people will be punished, and how to deal with them depends on the specific discussion.

"Bring them all up!" Zhou Xiuying said.

Soon, Xu Yao, the original master of the Heaven and Earth Society Arhat Hall, and some people who had directly participated in the betrayal of Zhou Lichun were also tied behind their backs and brought up.

Many people were brought in, and immediately knelt down towards Zhou Lichun, crying: "Master Zhou, spare me!" I was blinded by lard, and I shouldn't have betrayed you! ”

The other immediately knelt down and said, "Master Zhou, I was also forced at that time, everyone did this, and I had to do it!" But I'm in Cao Ying, and I'm in Han, and I've always been thinking of your good! ”

"Master Zhou, spare me!" "Spare me!" "Master Zhou, spare your life!" ……

Those guys knelt down and pleaded, and then hoped that Zhou Lichun would spare their lives. At that time, they thought that since Zhou Lichun was already physically disabled, it was naturally impossible for him to continue to lead the Heaven and Earth Society, and they wanted to support Xu Yao as the chief helmsman. But later, after Xu Yao became the chief helmsman, not only did he not bring them better hope, but was chased by the Manchus, and the 300,000 army was completely defeated with only 80,000 remnants.

This time Zhou Lichun's abuse saved them, and they all knew that they would inevitably betray again this time, so as to strive to take refuge under Zhou Lichun's command again. Otherwise, I may be severely punished.

"You don't have to beg me, I'm no longer the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society. My daughter, my daughter Xiuying is the commander of the Heaven and Earth Society Uprising, since then the name of our East China Heaven and Earth Society no longer exists, but there is a Heaven and Earth Society Rebel Army, I have given up the position to my daughter, my daughter will be the commander of the Heaven and Earth Society Rebel Army, I just need to take care of my old age now. Zhou Lichun said lightly.

Those few families were approved and hurriedly came over and knelt down towards Zhou Xiuying, saying, "Miss Xiuying, spare me!" At that time, I was also blinded by lard, and I was also confused for a while! ”

"Actually, I was in my heart at that time in favor of Miss Xiuying to take over the helmsman, but if it wasn't for Xu Yao, if it wasn't for Xu Yao, how could we have such a situation?"

"It's all Xu Yao who forced us!" ……

Chen Dingtian was speechless, and thought secretly: "These guys are really shameless, they actually put all the blame on Xu Yao, as if Xu Yao forced them." ”

However, Chen Dingtian found that these guys were kneeling and begging for mercy, but Xu Yao was not kneeling. In fact, if Chen Dingtian wants to say that Chen Dingtian is the most familiar with the people of this Heaven and Earth Society, except for Zhou Xiuying, this Xu Yao is the most familiar. Even Chen Dingtian's familiarity with Xu Yao surpassed Zhou Lichun in a sense, and Xu Yao was responsible for delivering the news in the early days, so Chen Dingtian actually saw Xu Yao more times than Zhou Lichun.

But now he has betrayed and seized the position of helmsman, which is a true betrayal. This time, everyone else knelt down and begged for mercy, but Xu Yao didn't, I don't know if it was because he knew that he was going to die, so this would be the case?

"Uncle Xu Yao, at that time, I regarded you as my closest elder, and you actually ......" Zhou Xiuying also hesitated.

"Miss Xiuying, I do things by myself, since I have done this kind of betrayal of my eldest brother, then according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, I admit it. This time, Miss Xiuying and Brother Zhou Lichun were still able to save us regardless of their previous suspicions, and I admired Xu Yao's righteousness. ”

"Now, what I regret the most is that I believe in these guys, these guys are really a bunch of unrighteous and disloyal scumbags. At that time, it was said that no matter whether it succeeded or failed, face it together, and even live and die together. But now, hmph, betrayal has no scruples. I hope that after I die, you will not leave these people behind, these people will not only do nothing to the cause of expelling the Tartars, but will only be the scum of the people. So after I die, please Miss Xiuying don't have to leave them, and let him go down with me. I hope that Miss Xiuying can complete the great cause of expelling the Tartars and inherit the will of the country's surname, then I, Xu Yao, will die without regrets. ”

After Xu Yao finished speaking, he immediately rushed towards the corner of the wall and prepared to crash, obviously preparing to commit suicide.

"Slow!" Chen Dingtian immediately shouted.

When Xu Yao heard this, he immediately braked suddenly, but because he rushed too quickly and then braked too quickly, he didn't stand firm on the spot and fell, and his head hit the ground, all of which were bloodstains. However, he did not die on the spot, but suffered some minor injuries.

"Xiuying, I don't think you have to follow the rules of the rivers and lakes at that time. I think that Xu Yao's actions at that time were actually understandable! Because when the father-in-law is unable to perform the duties of the chief helmsman, it is normal to have someone act as his agent. And in the past, everyone was gangsters at that time, and they did not form a reasonable agency mechanism, so those people could not believe that they could directly launch a rebellion to force their father-in-law to abdicate. ”

"And now that we have reorganized into an army, we will naturally use the rules of the past. It is necessary to strictly enforce military law, strictly enforce military law, and do everything in accordance with military law. The rules of the past should be discarded, not retained. What three knives and six holes, all must be discarded. I think that since we want to reorganize the army, it should be normal to put aside all the things that have happened in the past. Chen Dingtian said.

Chen Dingtian believes that Xu Yao's behavior at that time was not entirely unforgivable, Zhou Lichun was indeed disabled at that time, and he was unable to perform his duties as a commander. At this time, it is normal to replace someone who can serve everyone and can gain everyone's trust as a replacement. This is a rule that any army will have, and if the first leader is unable to perform his duties, the second in command can temporarily or even directly take over.

But the reason why it caused the previous situation was because of the nature of the rivers and lakes of the Heaven and Earth Society. There is no reasonable agency system, there is no reasonable succession system, so they can't trust Zhou Lichun to be competent, and even Zhou Lichun is unwilling to take the initiative to hand over power even after being disabled. Especially this kind of gang, the people in the rivers and lakes have offended a lot of people, and once they hand over their power, they will inevitably die.

Zhou Lichun refused to hand over power, but he was unable to perform his duties, and Zhou Xiuying was also unable to completely convince the public, plus there was no reasonable agency and succession system. Even when the Qing army was chasing after them, it was not impossible for them to choose to cooperate Zhou Lichun pulled off the horse, in fact, it was also a way that was not a solution.

Xu Yao was mostly for everyone's good at that time, especially when Zhou Lichun was unable to perform his duties, and there was a Qing army chasing behind him, so it was a last resort to take the initiative to take the lead at this time. This is the rigidity caused by the attributes of the Heaven and Earth Society, so Xu Yao cannot be completely blamed.

"In the future, when we form an army, we will naturally abandon the so-called style of rivers and lakes of the past, and do not bring it to us as we have always used in the past. In this way, I think Xu Yao's matter will let him pass, don't continue to bring the past style of the rivers and lakes to us, and avoid continuing to be infected by the style of the rivers and lakes. Chen Dingtian said.

Those guys immediately knelt down and wrote: "Read and write Uncle, thank you Uncle!" ”

"Thank you Uncle, thank you Uncle!" "Thank you, Uncle!" ……

Those guys immediately knelt down and thanked Chen Dingtian, as if Chen Dingtian had been able to escape. However, Chen Dingtian's next words made them unable to laugh.

"Of course, although you can't bring the past style here, the more these guys can't continue to stay. Xiuying, blow them all away, our newly reorganized Heaven and Earth Society rebel army, we don't need these guys! Chen Dingtian said.

Those guys were completely blindsided, and although they were not killed this time, they were expelled from the Heaven and Earth Society. This means that he will be left to fend for himself in the future. Even so, they are miserable, because in this troubled world, they are almost certain to die if they drift away. In troubled times, the best way is to take refuge in a collective, and you can't survive without the help of the collective.

But being expelled from the collective of the Heaven and Earth Society, whether they can survive or not, then this hope is very slim! They were all anxious immediately, and began to scold Chen Dingtian.

"Okay, except for Uncle Xu Yao, everyone else will be blown away for me!" Zhou Xiuying said.

Immediately, a few gendarmes next to them pulled these people and pushed them outside the concession, and then kicked them out, and it was up to them whether they were dead or alive. However, in this troubled world, they have no team, no food, and even no real ability to survive, so whether they can survive is still a question!

Except for Xu Yao, everyone else was also kicked out, and as for how to deal with this Xu Yao, Zhou Xiuying was also very embarrassed.

"Husband, Uncle Xu Yao, in fact, he has been very good to me since I was a child. He is my father's most important confidant, and even my father treats him as a brother! He's been so good to me, and I can't bear to let him out. What's more, I don't think this Uncle Xu Yao betrayed my father completely for power, but it was because my father was unable to perform his duties at that time, and he couldn't even gain everyone's trust, so he chose to seize the position. ”

"Even after that, others advocated killing our father and daughter, but he still let us live. Even took out this of our elite troops, so it can be regarded as a reservation. So, I don't think it's better to drive Uncle Xu Yao away. Zhou Xiuying said.

Chen Dingtian also agreed with Zhou Xiuying's judgment, because Xu Yao's seizure of power at that time was a multifaceted factor, because Zhou Lichun was disabled and could not have enough prestige. After all, this Tiandi Guild is a gang, and the atmosphere is too strong, if it is a regular army, even if the main general is disabled, it will not affect his status. However, once the leader of this kind of gang is disabled, especially in terms of legs and feet, it will have a huge impact on the authority of the leader. Because the leaders of this kind of gangs are all fought, if they don't have the ability to fight, their prestige will be reduced a lot.

Zhou Lichun was no longer able to suppress those guys at that time, and he couldn't even perform his duties effectively. Zhou Xiuying's prestige as a woman is not enough, and the Qing army is chasing very fiercely behind her. Xu Yao is worried that heaven and earth will end in the future, and once those people below jump up, so Xu Yao also hopes to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, so reading power is also a way that is not a way. Even Xu Yao was benevolent and righteous later, not only did not kill Zhou Lichun's father and daughter, but even gave them the opportunity to bring back the essence.

All this shows that Xu Yao did not betray for power, but only made this last resort choice in order to solve the crisis. Although he was not able to solve the crisis, his heart was good, not for power and ambition.

"Let's do it, leave Xu Yao behind. However, he must not be allowed to continue to hold military power. On the one hand, it is true that he has been disloyal a hundred times, and on the other hand, because he does not have the ability to command a new type of regular army, he is obviously not able to really command a regular army. Therefore, it is inevitable that he will not be allowed to control the military power. ”

"Isn't there a shortage of a minister in the Ministry of Logistics and Equipment? Let him serve as this minister, and then he will be responsible for some logistics affairs in the future, and it is better not to let him directly control the military power. The logistics and equipment department has a high status, and it can be regarded as a placement for him. ”

The arrangement for Xu Yao was also decided, Xu Yao could not continue to hold the military power, because he had betrayed him no matter what, even if it was because he was kind, but it was not very suitable, and he was not suitable for real command to fight. But let him take care of logistics, that's barely okay. Let him be in charge of logistics, although he is not as powerful as directly controlling the military power, but it can be regarded as a placement.

As for the 80,000 people of the Heaven and Earth Society, most of them will be eliminated. According to the advice given by the German staff officers, these rebel armies of the Su Wei Tiandi Society will be massively reduced, and the 80,000-strong army will be reduced to 20,000. The 20,000 people will be temporarily divided into two towns (divisions), one town will be subordinate to two associations (brigades), and one association will be divided into two standards (regiments).

The reason why this name was used was to prepare for the later incorporation of the Qing army, so that they would not have to start learning again. Everyone has no opinion on the future integration of the Qing army into the ranks, on the contrary, the troops are recruited from the enemy, so that the enemy will be hit harder.

So of course Chen Dingtian and Zhou Xiuying will not refuse, on the contrary, the Qing army will help them train the troops for no reason, and they can save costs!
