Chapter 123: Disposition
"The last general, Xue Wanche, see His Highness!" After the briefing, Xue Wanche took a wooden box from the soldiers behind him and walked into the big tent with his head held high, and then respectfully knelt on the ground and bowed to Li Chengming.
Just let Luo Ning leave to appease the people who had gathered this time, Li Chengming was still thinking about how to arrange it next, but he didn't expect to receive Xue Wanche's request to see him.
The crusade army sent by Li Shimin this time has a total of more than 30,000 people, and the main task of these people is to transport grain and grass, and sometimes they have to help open the way, and even when the war is not going well, they may even follow the charge, so to speak, it is very hard.
In fact, not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the people of all dynasties and dynasties need to serve as conscription, well, in fact, it is to do free hard labor.
Previously, Li Chengming only had thousands of soldiers and horses, and because of the expansion, he did not requisition ordinary people to serve in his soldiers and horses, even if he got some grain and grass in Wannian County, it was transported by those soldiers who were collected by the county militia.
However, now it is not the same as before, and when he completes the collection of the defeated troops collected this time, then his strength will be enough to reach more than 20,000.
With so many people, it is naturally impossible to let the soldiers do everything as before, after all, the main task of the soldiers is to train and fight, not to come to do these messy chores, so these tens of thousands of people naturally need to keep them.
However, although he planned to keep these tens of thousands of people, Li Chengming was not so harsh as to really keep all these tens of thousands of people, after all, there were still some older or younger, or sick-ridden people, Li Chengming directly asked Luo Ning to conduct a big screening and put some people who did not meet the specifications back directly.
Retracting his thoughts, Li Chengming looked at Xue Wanche, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and the wooden box he had just placed on the ground, raised his eyebrows and said, "Get up, work hard, how are things going?" ”
"Your Highness!" Xue Wanche stood up from the ground, and by the way, he picked up the wooden box on the ground, and then said respectfully, "Back to Your Highness, the last general is fortunate to have taken down all the rebels, and this is the head of Zhou Xingxiu, the rebellious chief of the West City Gate, please take a look." ”
"No need, this king can still trust you for this kind of trivial matter!" Li Chengming waved his hand to stop Xue Wanche's move to sacrifice his head.
Although he has killed a lot of people in this world, if he really wants to put a person's head in front of him, he must be separated in his heart, and he may have nightmares at night.
It is estimated that this is also the reason why Xue Wanche put his head in a wooden box, otherwise it was like what he saw on TV, directly grabbing a bloody human head with wide eyes and coming in, the visual senses, tsk......
"Yes, Your Highness!" Xue Wanche obediently retreated, then took two steps back and stood back where he was.
"Your Highness, in addition to killing the thief chief Zhou Xingxiu, the last general this time also arrested several big families and families in the county who participated in the rebellion this time, I don't know how to deal with these people?" Xue Wanche asked again with his fists clenched.
Hearing Xue Wanche's words, Li Chengming finally knew why Xue Wanche had been gone for so long before coming back, it seemed that he not only took the West City Gate, defeated the rebels at the West City Gate, but also arrested those who participated in the rebellion by the way.
Raising his eyebrows, Li Chengming took a sip and said, "How many people are there, ask why they suddenly rebelled...... Forget it, these people, how do you think they should be handled? ”
Originally, Li Chengming wanted to ask why these people suddenly rebelled, but before he could ask, he felt that this question was a bit boring.
At this time, Li Chengming remembered a passage written by a celebrity in his previous life: When capital has more than 50% profit, it will take risks; If there is a 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on all the laws of the world; If there is a profit of three hundred percent, it dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.
And for these big families who suddenly rebelled, if they were allowed to succeed, how could they not only make 300% profits, glorify their ancestors, seal their wives and sons, let them become Tang Dynasty nobles, and extend their descendants, how can such a temptation be something they can refuse?
After all, with their previous strength, the discerning people knew at a glance that they were the most likely to lose, and in that case, it was logical for them to want to grab a little credit.
Of course, it is natural and even a good thing for them, but for themselves, it is a very evil thing, because if they succeed, then the person who dies now is himself.
It's still a matter of the ass deciding the head, perhaps, there are no so-called good people and bad people in this world, in their own position, they will always be good people, and thieves will never admit that they are thieves.
"Back to Your Highness, according to my Tang law, those who plot rebellion against the rebels will be punished by the Nine Clans!" Xue Wanche clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
Zhu Jiu Clan, it seems to be a very simple three words, but it is one of the most cruel Zhulian laws in this era, one person breaks the law, the nine clans are involved, and the innocent people often die as many as hundreds of people.
For such a cruel method, when he was an ordinary person in the past, Li Chengming scoffed, but when he was now, he suddenly felt that he was not so ruthless.
The so-called people are not ruthless and unstable, and when he reaches his current status, Li Chengming finally understands that the people in power want to make such a cruel law.
When ordinary law loses its effectiveness, only such cruelty can deter these careerists with ulterior motives.
His eyes flickered for a moment, and then Li Chengming said, "There are too many nine clans, and this king doesn't want to be implicated, confiscate their family property, and destroy the three clans!" ”
"Your Highness is merciful!" Xue Wanche hugged his fists.
Li Chengming shook his head, he still softened his heart after all, if it was an ancient emperor, if these big families really rebelled, the Nine Clans would just operate normally, and it would be possible to even slaughter the Ten Clans.
"You're tired for a day, so leave this matter to someone else!" Li Chengming's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he suddenly raised his voice, "Someone!" ”
"Your Highness!" The guards guarding outside the camp suddenly appeared in the camp.
"Let's see if Wang Fusheng is still outside the camp, if so, let him in!" Li Chengming said lightly.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The guards went out, and after a while, they saw Wang Fusheng bowing slightly and walking in behind the guards, and after seeing Li Chengming, he knelt down and bowed without even a little backbone!! ”
