"Bodao, how do you feel about touring the country this time?" Xiao Chen was still as uninhibited as before, piling his body on the chair casually, looking at Hao Zhao standing in front of him and said.

That's right, the general standing in Xiao Chen's study at this time was Hao Zhao, who had just met Yue Fei in the Tianlong Fortress. Not long ago, I received an appointment, saying that my own king gave me a special expense and traveled all over the country. Although he is not short of money, when did his own king become so concerned with the life under his command.

Sure enough, there was a conspiracy in everything. Let yourself go out for a walk and travel on the bright side. In fact, it was a minister secretly sent by the imperial court, whose task was to inspect the garrisons throughout the country. The owner has the power to deploy Jinyi Wei and MIA intelligence officers, and also holds the Tiger Talisman, which can deploy local garrisons. Once it is discovered that the garrisons in various places have something unclean, they can be cut down first and then played below the third rank, and they can be directly imprisoned if they are above the third rank and below the first rank.

These powers are very small, when the little eunuch who passed the decree explained everything to himself, if he didn't know what to do, he would really be blind for decades of experience. With such a huge amount of power in his hands, is it nothing more than to clean up the interior? I heard that some time ago, Jinyiwei and the Military Intelligence Bureau conducted an internal cleanup. I don't know how many people have fallen to the ground, and it seems that this time it will be almost the same ending.

Things were exactly the same as Hao Zhao thought before he set off, with dozens of guards, dressed in plain clothes. In this way, Hao Zhao embarked on the road of the first internal purge of Beichen Kingdom. Donglin City does not need to be cleaned up, as the capital of imperialism, it has long been plowed over and over again by the Jinyi Guard and the guys from the Military Intelligence Bureau. The same is true of Annam County, where almost all the disloyal were beheaded during the invasion of Lanna.

There are no major problems in the frontier areas, where the standing army is everywhere. The first-line cities near the border are all under military control, with the concept of giving priority to all armies, and no one dares to cause trouble on the head of the soldiers. Including Hao Zhao, who is now the minister of the Qincha, he is a member of the standing army, although his command is a second-line garrison, but the division belongs to the standing army series. Therefore, how can my own family dismantle the backstage of their own family.

The two key areas of the inspection are the third-tier cities, which belong to the rear area, followed by Jiangzhou, Beizhou, and the old land of Lanna, which have just been incorporated into the territory of Beichen Kingdom. When Hao Zhao set off, he didn't have too many ideas. After all, the civil and military officials who can be stationed in one place are almost all former ministers who followed the king to conquer the world. Either it is Xun Yu's apprentice grandson, or Li Guozhang's apprentice grandson who is now waiting for death at home. With such an officialdom background, Hao Zhao naturally doesn't think that those local governors will do much.

As a result, Hao Zhao was sad.

As soon as he came to the closest city in Jiangzhou to Zhongzhou, Hao Zhao encountered something that made people extremely angry. I'm also a minister of the Qincha, even if I remove the minister, I am also a second-class general. There are only a few in the entire Beichen country that are bigger than their own officials. As a result, I came over by myself, but no one greeted me.

If these county officials and the like didn't get the news of their coming, they wouldn't believe Hao Zhao when they killed him. How can people who have been in the Chinese officialdom all their lives not understand the minds of those who are officials abroad. How could those guys not have spies in the capital, maybe they had just set off, and people already knew about it.

But the current situation is that this little county official doesn't give himself face, can he still bear it?

Hao Zhao asked people to take the Jinyi Guard and the MIA token given by the king, and dispatched a team of intelligence officers to collect some information. I don't know if I don't check this, but I scared Hao Zhao half to death when I checked it. The group of Jinyiwei didn't go out at all, and the hundreds of households in charge of the local Jinyiwei directly handed over an account book.

Looking at this thick account book, Hao Zhao didn't know what to do. The county order is greedy, the county is also greedy, and the most important thing is that the county lieutenant still eats empty salaries. The garrison camp, which was supposed to be about a thousand people, turned out to be only six hundred, almost half of which was eaten. However, a few of the three sentinels under the county lieutenant were loyal, which made Hao Zhao see a little hope.

The county magistrate kept 300 private soldiers, plus 300 cronies in the hands of the county lieutenant who was in the same stream as him. And there are only three loyal sentinels in their hands with 300 people, plus 100 people in the hands of 100 households in Jinyiwei, and dozens of people in the Military Intelligence Bureau. Hao Zhao could only sigh to himself, but his own king was prescient and left a thousand guards behind him.

It took more than half a year, starting from the Northern Expedition of the Beichen Kingdom to the Cossack State until the day before yesterday. Hao Zhao can be regarded as having completed his mission of traveling the world and bringing many corrupt officials to justice.

"King Qiyu, it took half a year to spend this time in Jiangzhou and the newly included Beihai and Lanna counties. However, it is good to have completed the task. Hao Zhao said with a wry smile.

Xiao Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "How is it, Bo Dao." You weren't happy to let you go before, what did you say that our Beichen country has been peaceful and stable for a long time, and county officials everywhere have made a difference. How's it going?"

"Well, it's still the king's wisdom. If it weren't for this trip to various places, it is estimated that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would not believe that the place had been eroded to this point. In the past six months, the last general has cut down 20 county orders alone, and there are more than 10 county lieutenants. Several county guards were cut in half. Hey, these two official positions are both important official positions in the imperial court's management of the local area. Moreover, most of the county officials are elites selected by the imperial court, and the county lieutenants are brave men who have laid down the territory of our thousands of miles. I didn't expect ......," Hao Zhao said with a frustrated shake.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Bo Dao, since ancient times, it has been easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world. Our Beichen Kingdom has only been established for seven years so far, and it has already laid down this thousand-mile territory. Be content, the two counties of Jiangzhou and Lanna Beihai, more than 400 cities, and more than 40 counties, but there are only a few corrupt officials and corrupt officials, which are much stronger than those in the late Han Dynasty. ”

"Your Majesty, this time, although the general inspected the counties and counties, he caught a lot of corrupt officials and corrupt officials. However, above the level of the town, there is no time to put things in order. The county officials and county officials are so oppressive of the people, not to mention the situation in a town and a city, I am afraid it is even more unbearable. ”

"It's very good that you can think of that, Bo Dao. Now that the north has been decided, our Beichen Kingdom will once again enter the stage of peace. There will be no more foreign wars in these two years, and even the undead kingdom in the west will have to wait until two years later. After several years of continuous warfare, the national strength is tired. When Xiao Chen sighed, he said again: "During this time, it is just the time to carry out a major purge in the country. All corrupt officials, no matter how much they are greedy, will be beheaded and displayed to the public. And those who eat empty pay or something, they are cut down by me. ”

"My lord, will this cause inconvenience to the imperial court's recuperation? I'm afraid that half of the officials in various places must meet the criteria for beheading, and if this is the case, I am afraid that it will cause panic in the country. ”

"It's okay, Bodao, I'll give you a year to cut down all the people who should be cut for me. The remaining year is the time for us to recuperate and prepare for the war. Xiao Chen said.

Hao Zhao was in a battle, and the picture of officialdom being emptied suddenly in his heart was born, and he said: "The last general will obey the order, and in less than a year, the king's orders will definitely be completed." ”

"Alright, Bo Dao, Jinyi Wei and the Military Intelligence Bureau will do their best to assist you. The sooner the cleaning is completed, the more time our country will have to recuperate and prepare for war. Xiao Chen was very satisfied with Hao Zhao's loyalty.

The Great Purge, when Xiao Chen saw the Soviet Union's Great Purge before World War II, he felt too cruel and spent most of the national strength. However, by now, Xiao Chen has to say that the Great Purge is a necessary means for dictators.

The Beichen Kingdom has been established for more than seven years, and the land is more than 1,000 miles from north to south and east to west, which is almost one-tenth of the actual China. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Chen feels that his seven years have not been easy. But there is such a group of people who block themselves and don't let themselves live comfortably.

Thinking of the nearly three-meter-high ledger stored in the study, Xiao Chen's heart was cold. Is it easy to lay down this territory by yourself, there are so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials digging their own corners. led his troops to fight on the front line, and those turtle sons were good, and they actually sold weapons and food to each other.

The incident did not spread throughout the country, after all, this kind of incident was too demoralizing in the army. Xiao Chen had no choice but to deal with it silently, and the three county officials and dozens of businessmen were all killed overnight. The matter of the enemy has completely become the secret history of Beichen Kingdom.

Xiao Chen is clear about the loss of national strength in the Great Purge. However, if it is not cleaned, it is estimated that Beichen Kingdom will become the Qing government in two years. The harm of corrupt officials is the greatest for every dynasty in China.

The existence of corrupt officials is undoubtedly a disaster for the local people. However, the imperial court can only manage down to the county level, and has no control over the counties and towns below. In the long run, it is certain that the people will lose their hearts, and it is not impossible for the government to force the people to rebel.

Therefore, Xiao Chen still plans to carry out a big cleanup. At least after ploughing once, it will be able to maintain the rule of the officials for a few years, and it will not cause the people to lose their hearts. Moreover, after the clean-up, the newly appointed local officials will definitely make some achievements for themselves first, and the national strength will be restored faster. Even if there are corrupt officials in the future, then just plow again.

The purge began after Hao Zhao left the palace. The first thing to do was Jinyiwei and the Military Intelligence Bureau, and in less than a few months after the cleanup, the two major intelligence systems of Beichen Kingdom were cleaned up again. Then it was to mobilize intelligence personnel from all over the country to secretly investigate the local officials, and all the information would be collected into a book in the end and sent to Hao Zhao and Xiao Chen.

Yue Fei didn't know anything about the Great Purge, and because of his personality and loyalty to the king, Yue Fei never cared about political affairs. Even in military affairs, it is extremely rigorous. Working under Yue Fei's hands, he wanted to be greedy for some small money, and his head was cut off before Jinyiwei came over. Therefore, the capital army is also the most elite army in the Beichen Kingdom now.

Looking at the fierce and vicious soldiers who were sitting on the mat, knocking on a wooden fish, and chanting the Buddha's words in their mouths, Yue Fei could only smile helplessly. It was really embarrassing for these GIs to recite the mantra honestly.

The 50,000 monks and soldiers did not reproduce the grandeur of the previous 3,000 Buddha Kingdom world, which disappointed Yue Fei. From the time he entered the barracks, he heard the soldiers say that the monks and soldiers had created the 3,000 Buddha countries. Yue Fei originally wanted to see it, but it was obvious that Tang Sanzang, an immortal, did not give Yue Fei any face. The 50,000 monks and soldiers were still sitting on the futon and knocking on the wooden fish, honestly suffering.

The Dao soldiers made Yue Fei very happy, tens of thousands of people wearing cyan Dao robes and stepping on flying swords, flying back and forth in the sky. Let Yue Fei's eyes light up, this is a good class. With a soldier who can fly, I am afraid of the danger of asking for a child in the future.

Only Zhao Yun, who was on the side, said casually, saying that these Dao soldiers were completely live targets in front of the archers and crossbowmen. One sentence immediately made Yue Fei frown. What Zhao Yun said was not bad at all, the Taoist soldiers who did not wear armor could only retreat in the face of the rain of arrows.

However, these Taoist soldiers are not useless, they are just restrained by bows and arrows. Besides, with them charging into battle, it is estimated that the king of his own family will be able to chop himself alive.

For the two special troops that have newly joined the army of Beichen Kingdom, Yue Fei is still very satisfied. The fact that the Dao soldiers can fly is enough to show their role. And the monks, although they did not see them drill. But as a monk, the superb martial arts of the Buddhist family should be able to. We don't want to think about the golden bell cover iron step shirt, but there should be a Shaolin stick method.

Returning to his big tent in the Chinese army, Yue Fei began to think about how to cooperate with the two immortals to train monks and Taoist soldiers. It's just that looking at the expressions of the two immortals today, it seems that they are very dissatisfied with their interference. This gave Yue Fei a headache, so he could only send a letter and ask his own king for advice.

After letting the guards go to Donglin City with letters, Yue Fei began to formulate the training of the two special forces. The monks don't need to change too much, they are originally warrior monks, and there is no need to worry about martial arts. Military discipline and coordination need to be strengthened, and formations must also be strengthened.

It is not good for Taoist soldiers not to wear armor, and they are indeed a little injured in the face of archers. Well, paper armor can be used. Paper armor is much lighter than leather armor, and its defense is somewhat enhanced. In addition, the marching speed of the Dao soldiers is very strong, and they also need to think of a way to increase their material carrying, so that they can fight alone for a long time.

Well, that's all. Yue Fei roughly summarized the advantages and disadvantages of monk soldiers and Taoist soldiers, which were deeply imprinted in his mind.

Xiao Chen looked at the letter from Yue Fei in his hand, and his head suddenly grew.

"Why don't you turn your brains, to deal with those two foodies, you must be delicious." Xiao Chen said to himself, and then quickly wrote a few words on a blank piece of paper.
