No one doesn't like power. Most of those who are not interested in power also have a full understanding of the various troubles brought about by power itself, so they will shy away from power.

The name of the military representative of the Wushengguan Headquarters of the Fuxing Army stationed in Yingshan County is Shang Ping. He was only the head of a platoon of the two battalions of the Renaissance Army stationed at Wushengguan.

Originally, when the political commissar of the headquarters sent him to Yingshan County to preside over the daily work of the local area and ensure the supply of the garrison, Shang Ping was still secretly happy in his heart. This young man, who has just turned seventeen, is still quite eager to try to become the head of a county and pass the addiction of his parents.

However, after really starting this work, Shang Ping realized how difficult this work was.

Shang Ping, who had just begun to take over the management of the county, first encountered the problem of maintaining order in the city. Because the officials and gentry were all arrested by the Fuxing Army, except for the master of the original county order who was detained by the Fuxing Army on the spot, all the officials and helpers in the county government were dismissed. Therefore, the entire regime of Yingshan County is in a vacuum.

From the time when the Fuxing Army cleared the upper echelons of Yingshan County to Shang Ping who led a platoon of soldiers to take over Yingshan County, the time in between was only about two or three days. But in the past two or three days or so, all kinds of ruffians with a keen sense of smell in Yingshan County have caused an uproar in the county.

In the county seat of Yingshan County, which has lost order, all kinds of violent crimes such as murder, robbery, theft, and strong tips are rampant everywhere. The business district outside the county is in a better situation. But order there is also controlled by local gangs of the nature of the mafia.

When Shang Ping led a platoon of soldiers from the troop station to Yingshan County, what he saw was a chaotic situation of leaking wind and water in all directions. Fortunately, the Renaissance Committee has been well prepared for such a situation, and the Renaissance Army has a special manual for dealing with local issues. Therefore, the business plane did not grasp this situation blindly, but in accordance with the requirements of the work manual step by step, relying on a platoon of soldiers, it began to carry out "severely and severely cracking down on all kinds of criminal activities" in Yingshan County in an orderly manner.

A platoon of the Baath Army had only fifty soldiers. Many people may find it strange. With only 50 people, in a county town with a total population of about 60,000, can it afford such a large-scale strike hard operation?

What needs to be explained clearly is that ancient societies are not modern societies. In modern China, the county-level public security bureau, as a department-level unit, must have at least 1,000 people's police. But that's in modern times.

In ancient China, it was to gather all the government armed forces in a county with a population of more than 100,000, and count those temporary workers and contract workers (white labor) on the periphery of the county government, and you can see if you can make up 50 decent people.

The historical records are very clear. In China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, bandits captured county towns at every turn. The main reason is that the feudal court did not have any serious armed forces in the administrative units at the county level.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the county commanders of each county faced the attack of Li Zicheng's peasant rebel army and the Manchu barbarians, the work of guarding the city defense was mainly carried out by the local gentry. The work of defending the city was mainly done by the landlords and gentry who sent tenants to help the county magistrates.

More importantly, although there are only 50 people in a platoon of the Baxing Army, these 50 people are highly organized and disciplined units that have been fully trained, comprehensively armed, and use advanced modern rifles, pistols, grenades, and other weapons that are ahead of the times.

The criminals may indeed be more numerous than a platoon of Ba'ath Army soldiers, but on the one hand, the criminals are scattered and unorganized, and on the other hand, the soldiers of this platoon basically act together. Each time, they face fewer criminals than they do. Criminals are unarmed and unorganized, and their criminal acts are scattered or in a state of coaxing. Therefore, relying on a platoon of soldiers of the Renaissance Army, Shang Ping easily restored the social order in Yingshan County.

Wang Shuhui often said to everyone in various cadre training courses: "The legitimacy of the political power is realized by the support of the people. The legitimacy of the regime is achieved by violence. Inside the barrel of the gun comes out of the regime. That's because the barrel of a gun can not only destroy the enemy, but also the barrel of a gun can tell the masses that our regime has a strong guarantee. In layman's terms, the barrel of a gun can tell the common people who is good at talking! ”

"Whoever speaks well will be in power! The barrel of a gun can guarantee that we can speak well! Although this principle is simple and crude, it is very useful in guiding practice.

It is true that the purpose of the Revival Society is to serve the people, but the Renaissance Society practices the people's democratic dictatorship. The people are the people who Revival serves. The people can be in charge of their own affairs under the protection of the Renaissance. Those criminals who violate law and discipline and endanger the vital interests of the masses are the enemies of the people. For these enemies of the people, the Renaissance will crush and destroy them with the iron fist of dictatorship.

The guns of the Renaissance Society are aimed at the objects of the dictatorship, at the enemies of the people. However, it has to be said that after the people found that the guns of the Revival Society were very hard, and all kinds of famous ruffians were suppressed by the Revival Society, the people still recognized the Revival Society quite a lot.

Shang Ping meticulously implemented the requirements of the work manual to "crack down on all kinds of criminal activities in a severe and strict manner". In the course of the campaign, more than 50 criminals were killed on the spot and more than 70 were arrested. After calm was restored in the county seat of Yingshan County, according to the reports and revelations of the local people, nearly 100 criminals who had escaped at that time and who had engaged in criminal activities in the past year were arrested.

When the public trial meeting against 170 people was held in Yingshan County, the people of the whole county watched a terrible scene that had never been seen in the history of Yingshan County.

Speaking of which, the punishment of hanging is completely without the heavy taste of punishments such as the Ming Dynasty's stabbing and beheading and Ling Chi's execution.

However, after the sentencing personnel gave a detailed account of the facts of the crime, the impact on the people of Yingshan County, which was far greater than that of the renaissance fighters in various circumstances, from stealing to murder, to being hung on 10 gallows by 50 renaissance army soldiers, was far greater than that of things such as beheading Ling Chi.

Beheading and Ling Chi are just a process for one or two people. The sight of a group of executioners slashing or slashing a lone criminal or two will only bring a bloody thrill to the crowd of onlookers.

And like the Renaissance Army, although the means of killing people were not bloody at all, more than 100 people were hung on the gallows in batches by the calm-faced Renaissance Army soldiers with the same uniform movements and frequencies (this is because of the high degree of organization and the style formed by years of training). The impact of this scene was unbearable for the ancients.

The crowd who was originally at the execution site still had a kind of joy of watching the excitement and freshness as usual, and they even wanted to watch a good show by eating and playing. But before the fifth batch was finished, a large number of spectators left halfway.

By the time the seventh and eighth batches of criminals were hung on the gallows, there was no one left at the execution site, and all of them had run away.

Many of the onlookers who came to watch had nightmares all night after returning home. Space-Time Gate 1619
