Chapter 442: Thunder Means
It seems that no force has been used for several years, and some people have forgotten the terrifying strength of the generals under the command of Wu Hou.
I still want to play the trick of combining the inside and the outside, and I don't want to think about whether I have this ability?
In this world, there are always some self-righteous guys who regard themselves as the center of the world, thinking that everyone else is a fool and an idiot, but in fact they are the big fools of the number one in the sky.
"Then let some people see the terrifying combat power of Benhou's men!"
Lei Hu made the decision to kill chickens and monkeys, and several teams stationed at the border were soon secretly mobilized.
In the autumn of the twelfth year of the emperor's reign, Wuhou Leihu's troops suddenly dispatched 3,000 troops, and wiped out the remnants of the two rebels lurking hundreds of miles away with lightning speed.
Jiangnan shook for a while!
The 3,000 men and horses surrounded and annihilated the remnants of tens of thousands of rebels, not to mention the capture of almost 10,000, which is a miracle.
Afterwards, Wuhou Leihu just sent a letter to Jiankang and Yangzhou, and solved the trouble of rushing to send troops, and then he safely received nearly 10,000 prisoners, and some projects under his rule could be started again.
At the same time, several local scholars under the rule of Wu Hou were surrounded and captured by the local garrison, and the Hou government produced evidence of their private contact with the rebels, and included these families in labor camps, from the head of the family to the most ordinary slaves and maids.
In order to make the arrested Shi clan people completely honest, Lei Hu even came forward in person to disrupt the meridians of several second-rate masters, so that they had a lot of spare strength to work, but it was difficult to move a single bit of true qi.
The Hou Mansion took down six local scholars in one go, and stuffed nearly 20,000 people into labor camps in various places, plus the remnants of the rebels who were captured, there were more than 30,000 labor prisoners at once, and the labor gap was blocked a lot.
The entire territory was silent for a while, and the local scholars who were still elated by Wu Hou to open their mouths were as uncomfortable as being poured a basin of cold water on their heads.
They reacted suddenly, Wu Hou is still Wu Hou after all, it's not that these little arms and legs of them can be easily offended, otherwise the six families will completely become the peers of labor camps, and it will be their fate in the future.
The Hou Mansion's knock on the mountain and the tiger was really timely, and immediately calmed down the local scholars who were originally a little too excited, and honestly made a fuss in accordance with the area demarcated by the Hou Mansion, and did not dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step.
……
Yin Kui faction and his party are high-level and live in a big mansion not far from the Hou Mansion.
The house occupies a large area and is divided into several entrances, in which the rockery and flowing water and flowers and trees are exquisitely arranged, and the landscape is in a small garden, coupled with the warm climate of the south, it is an excellent residence.
A group of high-ranking officials, including Zhu Yuyan, the sect leader of the Yinkui Sect, were quite satisfied with the living environment, showing Wu Hou's respect for them.
It's a rare thing to get and at the same time make them feel good.
You must know that the reputation of the Holy Gate is not good, not to mention the rats crossing the street outside, everyone shouts and beats, but it is impossible to walk in the sun as a person in the Holy Gate.
The Holy Gate is both angry and helpless about this, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and if you want to reverse the people's prejudice against the people in the Holy Gate, it is not possible to rely on the self-restraint of the people in the Holy Gate alone.
It also needs the full support of the officials to make it possible for the people of the Holy Gate to appear openly in the sun.
Unfortunately, the Holy Gate has been working hard for hundreds of years, and the results can be said to be lackluster.
is the best demon concubine Zhang Lihua, although she is favored by Chen Shubao, the lord of Chen, she does not have the courage to take the initiative to expose her identity as a person in the Holy Gate, which shows how embarrassing the situation of the people in the Holy Gate is.
It's just that I didn't expect that in the Holy Gate of Wuhou Territory, people can appear in a righteous and bright light, and they can still be recognized and respected by the people.
The teachers in the barracks, as well as the officials who were specialized in agriculture and labor, and the supernumeraries of the Hou Mansion with special skills, were almost all born in the Holy Gate, and although they did not have a high status in the Holy Gate, and only ate the existence at the bottom, they played an amazing role in the territory of the Marquis of Wu.
At first, they didn't dare to expose their identities as members of the Holy Gate, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
But later, Wu Hou himself exposed the fact that he was born in the Holy Gate, and he also built a Taoist temple in the territory to absorb incense, and at the same time served as a designated medical center in various places.
With Wu Hou himself as a model, the people in the Holy Gate who were absorbed into the bureaucratic system of the Hou Mansion naturally did not need to hide it, as long as they made a certain reputation, they would unceremoniously expose their origins.
For a while, Wu Houling could be said to be 'dancing with demons', and in the eyes of the righteous forces in the rivers and lakes, it was definitely a dangerous place to hide dirt and dirt.
But as long as the brain is not confused, or there is great prejudice in the heart, as long as you have been to Wuhou Ling and seen the prosperous scene and orderly order here, as well as the good traffic and sanitation conditions, and the good public security environment that makes people feel incredible, they will never think that this is the so-called 'demon dance' place.
Because the people from the bottom of the Holy Gate are all professionals, they have played a great role in the various ministries of the Hou Mansion, and they are the cornerstone of the Hou Mansion management system, and their abilities have also been unanimously recognized by the people.
There are even many people who have married these officials, and they also want their children to worship under these officials and learn a food craft.
Therefore, Wu Houling is definitely the paradise of the people in the Holy Gate at this time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most important talent cultivation base.
Lei Hu not only didn't mind the Holy Gate's factions expanding their power in the territory, but even allowed them to recruit fresh blood to cultivate reserve forces in the name of opening a professional academy, and only required them to abide by the rules of the territory.
In just two or three years, the various factions of the Holy Gate in the territory of Wu Hou have developed to varying degrees, especially the Dao Ancestor lineage personally supported by Lei Hu, which is developing well and thriving.
Of course, Lei Hu doesn't accept everyone, like those psychologically twisted and perverted guys of the Evil Extreme Sect, if they want to develop in the territory, they can only hold positions in the secret agency of the military camp, and it is impossible to appear in front of ordinary people in the open.
At present, almost all the talents of the six sects of the two sects of the Holy Gate have developed in Wuhou Ling.
Of course, they are all only low-level talents, and as for the middle and high-level figures in the two factions and six daos, they basically have no intention of taking the initiative to work, and Lei Hu has no idea of persecution.
Anyway, the foundation for cooperation has been laid, and if we really want to deepen cooperation in the future, it will only be a little troublesome, and it is nothing.
It can be said that Wu Houling can definitely be regarded as a wonderful flower in the area controlled by the Great Sui Imperial Court, and it is also a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of righteous people.
This is also one of the reasons why Fan Qinghui, the contemporary descendant of Cihang Jingzhai, and the two holy monks of the Southern Buddhism Gate took the initiative to come to the door, and the Holy Gate forces developed too well in Wuhou Ling, which made the Southern Buddhism feel uneasy.
It's a pity that they can't kill Wuhou Leihu, so they can only accept it honestly.
The Yin Kui faction and his party live here, not to mention that they are comfortable like a fish in water, and they don't need to worry about being hunted down and encircled by the Baidao forces, not to mention how leisurely they live.
A group of high-level officials, including Zhu Yuyan, have decided to relocate some of the industries of the Yin Kwai Sect here, at least without worrying about attacks from officials and forces in the rivers and lakes, which is also quite rare for them.
What happened to Wu Houling in the past few days, they were shocked in their eyes, and they couldn't help but get together and talk about it, all lamenting Wu Hou's audacity.
"Wu Hou is really bold enough, he dares to target the subordinate clan like this, isn't he afraid that the clan group will attack and cause a war in the territory?"
"Yes, if you offend them ruthlessly, it is estimated that Wu Hou will not be able to stand it if you take revenge!"
"Isn't it just that there is a connection with the rebels, the warrior clan under the rule of Wu Hou is strong, which family has no secret connection with the rebels, if they are all investigated, they must not be messed up?"
“……”
The high-level officials of the Yin Kwai Sect who said this, without exception, were all from big families, but they were just side branches with no power, but even Lei Hu's behavior also aroused their natural disgust.
"Hmph, what do you know, the six exterminated warriors were taken down because they had ties with the rebels, it's not that they are too arrogant and wantonly expand their manpower, clearly wanting to expand the number of private soldiers, and even maybe they have the idea of cooperating with the rebels, it's no wonder that Wu Hou can bear it!"
"Such a guy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, if I am targeted and killed directly, how can I give them a chance to reform through labor?"
"Since they choose to go against Wu Hou, they have to suffer the corresponding consequences!"
“……”
The high-level officials of the Yin Kui faction who said this obviously didn't have a good impression of the so-called family gate valve, and they gloated about the schadenfreude one by one, so they almost didn't scold those people who deserved it.
"I just don't know, how long will these six arrested guys have been in labor reform?"
I don't know who sighed, and suddenly the lively discussion scene was quiet, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the high-level officials of the Yin Kui Sect here were obviously shocked by this topic.
In other words, the top leaders of the Yinkui faction learned about the labor reform system under Wu Hou's rule with a playful attitude at first, but after they really understood the horror of the labor reform system, they were afraid of it like a snake and scorpion.
The people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to happiness and revenge, even if they die, it is not a big deal, and after eighteen years, they are a good man, anyway, they die too quickly and they can't feel the pain of death.
However, the labor reform system that Wu Hou came up with was really life-threatening, and it was a terrifying torture that made people taste pain for a long time.
It seems that the RTL system has given criminals a chance to turn over a new leaf, allowing them to atone for their sins over a long period of time.
But as long as you think about it seriously, the kind of uninterrupted labor reform for ten years or even decades, except for those with extraordinary mental perseverance, few people in the rivers and lakes can bear it, it is simply another means of torture, and it is also a powerful trick to torture the soul.
