Chapter 22 Be a ruler of the people
Tai'an is more than 90 miles away from Laiwu, and because it was a night march, it took the Tiger Ben regiment to arrive in the middle of the night.
This time, Wang Jundao personally acted as the captain of the thirty special combat members of the special combat platoon, because Tang Jian led the other twenty special combat personnel to attack Feicheng County with the first company, and was not in the tiger group advancing eastward.
Wang Jundao took Li Jinghua, the deputy head of Yanzimen, and thirty special combat team members to sneak under Laiwu City quietly, the night was dark, and the group of thirty-two people did not alarm the fifty defenders on Laiwu City at all.
Wang Jundao waved his hand, made a gesture, and at the same time shouted in a low voice: "Up." ”
Ten special combat team members instantly threw the hook rope onto the city wall, and a moment later, Wang Jundao, Li Jinghua and eight special combat team members who were good at climbing climbed the city wall more than five meters high and came to the top of the city.
Wang Jundao and Li Jinghua stepped forward from left to right, and the two daggers pierced the throats of the two sentries like ghosts, and because they were covered in mouths, the two sentries did not make a loud sound until they died.
Subsequently, ten special combat team members sneaked into the city tower, and soon, the sentry officer of the city tower was covered with his mouth and wiped his neck, and the remaining five captains were also subdued, all the weapons were seized together, more than forty soldiers who were kicked out of their sleep were scared half to death, and finally all of them were gathered in a building to guard, and three soldiers who tried to escape were directly shot by the short crossbows of the special combat teammen, and all of them became more honest than steamed buns, and obediently stayed in the room, waiting for the special combat team members to fall.
Immediately afterwards, the city gate slowly opened under the efforts of several special combat personnel. The signal was also given by lighting a fire on the city walls.
Receiving the signal from the city wall, the warriors of the Tiger Ben Regiment, who had already been ready to go outside the city, drove into Laiwu City in an orderly manner.
Subsequently, Wang Jundao personally led the team, and also controlled the patrol battalion of Laiwu County, which had only 300 people, by surprise attack and beheading, while the soldiers of the second company successively took over the remaining three city gates of Laiwu County, and the fifty defenders on each gate all surrendered and obediently accepted control when the sentry officer was killed and the weapons were confiscated.
At the same time, the Laiwu County Ya was also completely controlled, and all the county officials of Laiwu County, such as the magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief bookkeeper, were imprisoned, and the Laiwu County completely changed hands.
After dawn, because of the experience of dealing with Tai'an City, under Cui Jingluo's personal action, the county town was strictly prohibited, bullies were arrested, corrupt officials paraded in the streets, and dirty officials criticized and fought in an orderly manner.
The homes of evil businessmen, corrupt officials, and big families who oppressed the people were also thoroughly raided, and a total of more than 60,000 taels of gold, more than 1.2 million taels of silver, and more than 30,000 taels of gold were preliminarily estimated to be worth jewelry, as well as countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, food and materials, etc., all of which were transported to the county government treasury for sealing, and after completely capturing Tai'an Mansion, they were handed over to Cui Jingluo and Baiyuncheng for disposal.
The 500 patrol battalion soldiers in Laiwu County were also recruited, and after shooting those soldiers who were in the evil township in peacetime, the old and weak were incorporated into the baggage logistics team, and finally a total of more than 300 elite people were obtained.
When evening came, all the things in the county were settled, and the people completely accepted the fact that Laiwu County changed hands, and most of the people were full of respect for the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, because for so many years, there has never been an army that respects them so much and treats them as relatives, so in just one day, in the comparison of the previous green battalion and patrol battalion, the Tiger Regiment, which loves the people like a son, has been thoroughly supported by the people, and under the promulgation of the new preferential business policy, most businessmen are also full of hope for the future, They were no longer exploited by officials and patrol battalions, and most of them supported the rule of the Tiger Bun.
Because Qi Anmin, the magistrate of Laiwu County, is a rare clean official, and he is also a good official who is very good at directors, but all along, he has been suppressed by the county Cheng and the main book in collusion with the wealthy families in the city, and he cannot show his strengths, which makes the people of Laiwu County miserable.
He was very angry about Wang Jundao's occupation of Laiwu County, after all, he had been instilled with the idea of loyalty to the monarch since he was a child, and he was very ashamed of Wang Jundao's troubled behavior.
After Wang Jundao found out, he summoned him and said to him directly: "Do you think the current Qing court is a scourge to the people?" Or for the benefit of the people? ”
Hearing this, Qi Anmin was completely silent, he couldn't say anything, he had to admit that the Qing political axe had indeed been corrupted to the bones, not for the benefit of the people at all, but in the fish and flesh of the people, especially the Han people who were regarded as slaves by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and lived a miserable life, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "If you commit rebellion, you are likely to fall into the chaos of the people, is this for the benefit of the people?" ”
"From ancient times to the present, the officials forced the people to rebel, the court has no way, naturally someone wants to overthrow him, and then establish a new order, re-create a prosperous era in the world, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has enslaved the Han people for more than 200 years, the Han people have lived like dogs for more than 200 years, are almost numb, now there is Manchu exploitation inside, there is aggression by foreign powers, if we don't resist, are we waiting for perdition?" Wang Jundao said unceremoniously.
Looking at Qi Anmin, who was deep in thought and frowned, Wang Jundao then asked: "Do you want to be an official of the common people, or an official of the Qing political axe?" Are you working for the well-being of the people, or for the benefit of the Qing court? ”
"The people are precious, the community is secondary, the monarch is light, and the officials are the food and clothing parents of the people, I am the official of the people first, and then the official of the Qing political axe, I want to seek the well-being of the people first, and I will seek benefits for the Qing court." Qi Anmin said in a deep voice.
"Then what you should do now is to stabilize the people, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and make the economy prosperous and strong." Wang Jundao glanced at Qi Anmin and said, "I don't need you to be loyal to me, you just need to do things for the people and be loyal to the 300,000 people of Laiwu County." ”
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Qi Anmin looked at Wang Jundao and said. He knew that he had no choice now, and Wang Jundao's words did speak to his heart, and he was responsible for the people.
"Do things according to my decree, if there is something unfavorable to the people in my decree, you can refuse to implement it, of course, as long as it is a new decree, it will harm the interests of some people, but as long as it is beneficial to the majority of the people, then these decrees are worth implementing, I believe you can distinguish this clearly." Wang Jundao said.
"You can rest assured that as long as your decree is beneficial to the majority of the people, I will resolutely carry it out." Qi Anmin said firmly.
"Okay, I hope you don't disappoint me, and don't lose your surname because of some circumstances, otherwise you should know the consequences." Wang Jundao said lightly.
Wang Jundao's tone was full of decisiveness, which made Qi Anmin couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: There is such majesty and momentum at this young age in front of me, I am afraid that it is really not a thing in the pool, if I follow him, I may really be able to put my political ideas into practice in the future, and I will benefit the people, if I miss this opportunity, I am afraid that I will not have another chance in this life.
After thinking about all this, Qi Anmin nodded and said, "Don't worry, if I lose my surname, I will not be isolated by the civil and military officials of Laiwu County for more than two years." ”
The implication is obvious, that is, if I lost my surname so easily, I would have been in the same league with those people a long time ago.
Wang Jundao nodded and said lightly: "I believe you." ”
After instructing Qi Anmin about something, Wang Jundao found Li Jinghua and said straightforwardly: "I want you to help me establish an intelligence agency." ”
Wang Jundao, who came from later generations, naturally knew the important surname of intelligence, so he wanted to establish his own intelligence agency.
"Intelligence agencies?" Li Jinghua was a little puzzled, he actually roughly understood what this meant.
"It is a special organization that can control the enemy's and our intelligence at any time, it is called 'Luo Net', I will give you all the manpower, funds, weapons, etc., I only need one purpose, that is, to make 'Luo Net' like air and water, pervasive." Wang Jundao explained simply. Let Li Jinghua create this intelligence organization is the most appropriate person, he is the deputy head of the Swallow Gate, to put it bluntly, he is an expert who can steal at any time, and can become a thief-level existence, that is not only the thief's kung fu mastery, but also proficient in all skills such as lurking, camouflage, spying, unlocking, locking, decryption, tracking, anti-tracking, etc., otherwise any mistake may lead to the failure of the theft, and the failure of the theft means death on the spot, Li Jinghua can become the deputy head of the Thief Swallow Gate, is a real thief, As long as he adds his own modern intelligence means, then he is the best candidate to form an intelligence agency, of course, Wang Jundao has another candidate, that is, Cui Jingluo, the "Bloody Night" who has been rampant in the world for several years and has not been caught by the Qing political axe, but he has too many things to do for Wang Jundao now, and it is impossible to get away from it to form an intelligence agency.
"You just believe me?" Li Jinghua looked at Wang Jundao and said puzzled.
"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, if I don't believe you, I would have killed you as early as when Yuan Shikai was in the mansion." Wang Jundao said lightly.
"Okay, since you trust me so much, I'll help you set up this intelligence agency, of course, I'm free, and I can still leave at any time." Li Jinghua said directly.
"Don't worry about this, your feet grow on your body, you can come if you want, you can leave if you want, I won't stop you, but the premise is that after you leave, you are just the head of your thief door, and you no longer have any other identity, and what you do and say is the same as you used to." The meaning of Wang Jundao's words is obvious, that is: You can go if you want to, but you better just be your former self, don't talk nonsense, and make things bad.
"Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person, and I'm also a person who doesn't like trouble, I know very well that standing on the opposite side of you won't end well, you know, I hate trouble the most." Li Jinghua nodded and smiled slightly.
"Well, it's like stealing someone else's good thing, full of joy and pride, and suddenly finding yourself targeted by the owner of that thing, and then being chased after it." Wang Jundao also laughed.
"Yes, yes, that's the feeling, that's the most troublesome thing." Li Jinghua laughed.
