Chapter 54: The So-Called Family (I)

Pan Min kicked over a soldier who was taking off his pants and wanted to rape a woman, and his face was already full of melancholy.

As a general, Pan Min himself was somewhat looked down upon by generals such as Ling Zhu, and now the people who returned from his cottage did this kind of burning, killing and looting, which really made him a little ashamed of Jiangnan.

Jiang Nan had already stepped forward and patted Pan Min on the shoulder to comfort him, and he didn't seem to blame.

But this aroused Pan Min's sense of shame even more, and at this time he pulled the two brothers, and the three of them were already kneeling on the ground.

"Lord, this thing was done by the people in my village, and I, Pan Min, am willing to take it alone!"

Jiang Nanyou sighed, and said: "Lao Pan, I can't blame you for this matter, the Jiangzhou soldiers I brought are not the same as burning, killing and looting after the siege, this is also an inevitable thing!" ”

Jiang Nan said so in his mouth, but he had already weighed it carefully in his heart, saying that this issue of military discipline must be well grasped.

I am an earthman who deeply understands the truth that water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat, and if I want to break out of the world in this troubled world in Kyushu, then I must be based on benevolence and righteousness.

But once he conquered the city, his soldiers were left unguarded, knowing that he was destroying his foundations.

Although it has been expressly forbidden, how can these soldiers who lick blood on the knife edge take care of these once the blood rushes to the brain. Offenders killed? I really can't be ruthless, don't kill? Are these soldiers left to their own devices?

It seems that a wise decree is needed to kill the decisive! Jiang Nan muttered in his heart, Chen Lin and Guo Zhun are definitely not good, this one is good at internal affairs, and although the other is quite knowledgeable about the law, but if Guo Zhun wants to be a villain, it is estimated that he is not willing to be killed.

It is not enough to suppress Pan Min Duyang as a military general, and there is definitely no need to worry about killing decisively, but if you want to convince everyone, these reckless men are still a little behind.

"It's annoying!" Jiang Nan smiled bitterly, ignoring the reactions of his subordinates, all he could do now was to find and stop it, but this deep-seated hidden danger was not fundamentally eliminated!

But just when Jiang Nan was distressed, Guo Zhun had already stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, only to see that Jiang Nan's originally frowning brows were even more twisted.

Back in the Taishou Mansion in Zetan County, Jiangnan only brought Bai Wei, Guo Zhun, and Chen Lin. According to Guo Zhun's report, some representatives of the family in Zetan County were already waiting for Jiangnan in Taishou Mansion.

Zetan County is not the same as Xinwei County, Xinwei is a remote person, naturally no family wants to be stationed there, and Zetan County is a large land, naturally some families are willing to settle down.

Jiang Nan looked at these family masters standing in the hall, and he had secretly sighed, these families can survive under the hands of robbers like Taibai Thief, naturally they are not fuel-efficient lamps! Now that he has come to conquer Zetan, he can be sure that the people who came are not good.

"It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave!" Jiang Nan whispered, but Chen Lin and the others behind him had already heard it, and naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Nan's words, and there was a big sad word on their faces.

"General Breaker!" A middle-aged man has already come out of the ranks, and it is not difficult to find that he is the head of a family by looking at the clothes.

"We, the families of Zetan County, did not give in and beg for mercy when the Taibai thieves captured the city, but we were inevitably seized by them and plundered their wealth!"

Chen Lin, a good hand in internal affairs, has whispered to Jiangnan that this is Mao Rong, the head of the Mao family, the head of the Zetan County family.

The head of the Mao family continued to say with a straight face: "Since General Poyu is on behalf of the imperial court, then Zetan County has been recaptured, can we return the land we lost?" ”

Jiangnan's face gradually calmed down, and the ownership of the land is naturally the foundation of these families, and since the land belongs to them, it is not difficult to return it.

"That's all easy to say! Later, I will let Chen Junshi go to his own land, and then replan these fertile fields to all families! ”

Mao Rong nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes didn't show any thought. But Jiang Nan knows that today's things are definitely not so simple.

Sure enough, Sheng Hong, the head of the Sheng family behind Mao Rong, had already attended: "Since the general has gone out on behalf of the imperial court, then the loss of our family this time, you see"

Sheng Hong's words were not finished, Jiang Nan already knew the attitude of these families, they thought that they did not betray Zhiguo when the Taibai thieves captured the city, so the land they were seized could be returned, and the money they lost would naturally be handed over to the imperial court for compensation.

The words are good, let the court pay for it, but now that the court is controlled by Liu Yue, will Liu Yue allocate money to Jiangnan to appease these families?

The answer, of course, is no, then the burden of money naturally falls on Jiangnan's hands. It's not that Jiangnan doesn't have money, but how can these families not take the opportunity to extort a sum of money, basically without thinking, these families reported that the property losses added up to buy the wine that Jiangnan sold for several years.

Besides, these families say well, and they have never taken refuge in the Taibai Righteous Army. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that if they don't take refuge, then if the thief nature of the Aether White Sect doesn't kill them all and rob them all, I will have your surname Mao!

Although Jiang Nan disdains it in his heart, he also has to sigh that this is the family. In the eyes of these families, I am afraid that the interests of the family are the first, as for who is in power, as long as they do not infringe on their own acres and threes of land, they have nothing to do with themselves.

Coughing, Jiang Nan had already spoken: "The head of the Sheng family, the Mao family, said very much, Nan will definitely notify the imperial court soon, and give compensation to all the families!" ”

Sheng Hong was a little dissatisfied with Jiangnan's resignation, but he was reminded by Mao Rong's eyes and said: "We are not in a hurry for these things for the time being, but there is one thing that cannot be delayed!" ”

"Oh?" In the face of the family's rebellion again, Jiangnan has become interested.

"I think that Zheng Taishou, who was previously appointed by the imperial court, has been killed by the Taibai thief, and the Taishou appointed by the Taibai thief has also died at the hands of the general. As the saying goes, the country can't be without a king for a day, and the land can't be without an owner for a day, so we must do an end to the position of Zetan County! ”

Sheng Hong continued: "The general will have to conquer Longquan County in the near future, so Zetan County will not be able to stay for a long time, so I recommend Mao Rong, the head of the Mao family, to succeed him as the Taishou of Zetan County, I don't know what the general wants?" ”

Sheng Hong's voice was very loud, and his words had already been approved by many families in the hall.

In the eyes of these families, their interests cannot be handed over to an outsider to defend them. They felt that there was only one reliable way, and that was that only the local family would act in the interests of the local family.

Therefore, Mao Rong, the head of the first family in Zetan County, is naturally the first choice for this Taishou position.

Jiang Nan listened to the coaxing of these big and small families, and then looked at Mao Rong's calm eyes, and it was easy to guess that this matter was probably said before they came to the door.

Asking for money is just a temptation, and these families naturally know that Jiangnan can't pay for them out of their own pockets, so they have to put forward the matter of letting Mao Rong take the throne in one fell swoop when Jiangnan is at a loss, and presumably Jiangnan will be forced to agree in reluctance.

They expected it right, Jiangnan really has no way at this time, and it is impossible for him to openly argue with these families, because this Kyushu is only the beginning of ****, and the country is still the master of these three states in name!

Naturally, a general of the third rank is only a representative of the imperial court, and he has no right to decide to fight against these local wealthy clans, after all, your official is given by the imperial court, the soldiers and horses are equipped by the imperial court, and your size is just a tool of war.

In other words, in the current situation of Zhiguo, if Liu Yue is killed, he will not agree to start a war with these local families, not to mention the problem of financial and military support, even if these families give Liu Yue a mountain high emperor far away, and suddenly stand on his own, then Liu Yue can only suffer a loss.

When the country is rich and the people are strong, self-heating wants to suppress these families, and when the society is about to fall, only to appease the family is the best policy, which is the principle that no matter which world and which dynasty follows.

Although the kingdom is not yet at the point where the society will fall, the solid family foundation has been almost defeated by our Royal Highness the Regent.

Jiang Nan and the others sent away a group of people from the family, and the tense nerves were finally relaxed.

"To be honest, it's really hard to deal with these people!" Jiang Nan spoke slowly, as if laughing at himself.

Chen Lin on the side said old-fashioned when he heard this: "The lord is hard, most of these local families are starting for their own interests, so since we have promised them to be too guarded, there must be no conflict in the future!" ”

Jiang Nan shook his head, Guo Zhun drank wine, and Bai Wei blushed. At this time, they should be weak and have to compromise with these families.

But Jiang Nan and the other hot-blooded young men are afraid that everyone is unbearable.

Brigadier Guo put away the flask and said, "Hey! These families are a group of guys who eat soft and are afraid of hard! ”

"Not really! Lao Guo! Jiang Nan answered: "If you let them talk to the bandits of the Taibai Sect about the word Taishou!" Only a small army like ours would be bullied like this! It's really good people who are bullied, and dogs who are good at being ridden by dogs! ”

"Don't worry, my lord, one day we will reach the realm of the world's admiration!" Chen Lin was afraid that Jiangnan would lose his fighting spirit, so he immediately said.

"Is the world looking up to the realm?" Jiang Nan was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, he smiled, and the haze on his face was swept away, who didn't receive unequal treatment before he succeeded, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, was humiliated by his crotch back then, what am I doing here!

Chen Guo and the others saw that the Jiangnan fighters had some recovery, so they also rejoiced, in their eyes, as long as their lord still has a fighter, it is easy to say that they have the world.

Jiang Nan took Bai Wei's hand, and she still couldn't get rid of her blushing problem as a housemother.

"Wei'er doesn't understand the world's major events, Wei'er only knows that her husband's enemy is Wei'er's enemy, who dares to touch her husband's hair, I'll let him die a good death!"
