Chapter 116: Combining Rigidity and Softness

When Lan Jing'an said the last sentence, his voice had changed from cold to fierce, which made everyone in the audience tighten, but he didn't expect Da Si Ming to have such a stern side.

With a calm face, she once again glanced at the army under the black pressure, and in the silence, she first asked Pang Tu to announce the guilt of the infantry captain in public, and then lifted his body up and whipped him ten times.

Then she asked Sun Wei to lead people to arrest the eight people who had been following Dayong in public, and show their actions one by one. Seeing that their whereabouts had already been exposed, and seeing Lan Jing'an's ruthlessness to the infantry captain, they were all so frightened that they trembled like chaff, kowtowing and begging the chief priest to spare their lives.

Lan Jing'an swept their faces one by one, and said coldly: "I said that if you take the initiative to stand up, I will spare your lives." Now, it's too late. Come and deal with it according to military law! ”

Lan Jing stood on the high platform and saw these eight people ambushed with his own eyes, so he finally put an end to the killing and meticulous work. Even if there is no ghost in the audience, they have a new understanding of the great priest. The chief commander ordered this person to be kind on the surface, but the military discipline was strict, and in some respects he was exactly the same as the marshal, and it was best to keep the military order and act well.

And other people who were buried in the cadre army or who were shaken in their hearts heard this, and their bodies were even more chilled. Originally, I thought that the big secretary would be the commander-in-chief, and the cadres and troops would be chaotic. I didn't expect Da Si Ming to have such a powerful means, it seems that it is better for him to stay honest.

After establishing the military prestige, Lan Jingan announced a new method of bereavement in public. This is the reply she promised to the officers and soldiers of the Archery Department when she patrolled the camp yesterday. She spent an afternoon today finalizing the bereavement with the generals.

The new bereavement pension law basically remains the same for the posthumous treatment of ordinary mourners, mainly to greatly improve the pension treatment of those who only have old and young women and children in the family: each bereaved person's family can receive 10,000 yuan, if the deceased's family has no foundation and cannot survive on its own, another 40,000 yuan, and those who are military marquis and above or those who have military merits, add 5,000 yuan for each additional level.

At present, the Qianjun has not yet established a country, so it still uses the currency of Dayong. According to the market price, one piece of rice is less than 100 yuan, and 10,000 yuan is enough for a family of four to eat for three or five years. The 50,000 yuan can basically be supported until the children of the soldiers grow up and have the ability to support the family independently. At the same time, it is also enough to provide for the parents of the bereaved to support the elderly.

The soldiers below were all overjoyed when they heard it, and this treatment was much better than that of Dayong. In Dayong, it's good to be able to take care of food when you enter the barracks, how can anyone care about the aftermath of the low-level soldiers? Unexpectedly, the Great Secretary not only listened to their suggestions, but also drafted the charter in such a short time.

Lan Jing'an did not directly agree to the immediate implementation of the new policy, but honestly told everyone that she would send someone to ask the generalissimo first. As soon as the Generalissimo approves it, the new policy will be implemented immediately. During the period of waiting for the generalissimo's reply, if the new policy is approved, the bereavement benefits will also cover the soldiers who died during this period.

The sergeants below had no doubt that the New Deal would be enforced. does not mention the ability of the great commander, and said that the generalissimo has always been a person who has always been sympathetic to soldiers, otherwise there would not be the previous pension policy. At present, the policy discussed by the Grand Secretary and others is basically the same as before, except for taking care of orphans and widows, and the generalissimo will not refuse.

Everyone saw the martial arts of the Great Si Ming yesterday, and today they saw her thunderous methods and her love for the sergeants, and now they have no different opinion of her than the Generalissimo. Lan Jing'an tossed for a day, and finally finished what she had planned, except for the matter of the infantry captain, which made her particularly frustrated, other things were basically going well.

As for the replacement candidate for the infantry captain, she asked Pang Tu to draw it up first, and then report it. Pang Tu didn't expect that Lan Jing'an still believed in his vision, and this big man almost cried on the spot without being moved.

Lan Jing'an couldn't laugh or cry. Even though she is the same age as Pang Tu, Pang Tu is even a year or two older than her. But in her eyes, Pang Tu seems to be her younger brother, and his temperament is so straightforward and cute. However, Lan Jing'an heard that Pang Tu entered the Dayong military camp alone at a very young age, and no one had taught him well, but she could understand some of his thoughts and actions very well.

She also specially asked Zhang Xun to find an older military advisor for Pang Tu to accompany him. Today, seeing that Pang Tu completely fell to herself, she dared to cautiously ask for his opinion. She didn't want Pang Tu to feel like he was spying on him, or that she didn't trust his abilities.

Pang Tu finally saw the sincerity of the great priest now, she didn't come to seize power or make trouble. On the contrary, she is the solution to the dilemma. And she is much stronger than herself, and she is indeed capable enough to lead the army. Pang Tu was now obedient to what the Great Si ordered to say, knowing that she was doing it for his own good, and immediately accepted her kindness.

Lan Jing'an made an appointment with a few important generals and ordered people to continue to go to the General's Mansion to discuss the defense, and then took Biluan back first.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lan Jing'an first met with Feng Shen and the ten-member personal guards he led. She had already obtained Sun Wei's letter yesterday, and these ten people were all credible people, and she could rest assured that she could take them with her.

Lan Jing'an asked people to arrange a place for them, and then let Feng Shen be in charge of arranging the training of ten people. When she was in the General's Palace, she had to keep at least one person by her side, and if a war broke out, ten people had to go to the front with her at the same time.

Later, after several important generals arrived, she began to discuss the defense with everyone. And let Zhang Xun attend together. Lan Jing'an estimated that the reinforcements from Jiangling and Jiangxia should arrive within five or six days, and Brother Qingyun's instructions should also arrive almost by the time the reinforcements arrive. In other words, the five or six days from now are the most dangerous five days in Xiangyang.

After talking about the defense, Lan Jing'an asked Zhang Xun about the grain and grass again. Zhang Xun reported that the current grain and grass in the city is enough for the Xiangyang defenders to last for half a year. All the generals felt at ease in their hearts, only Lan Jing'an frowned.

She counted the reinforcements from other places in Jingzhou and the soldiers and horses brought by Jiang Shaoheng. In other words, the current grain and grass is estimated to be able to support more than 60,000 or 70,000 people a month without foreign aid, which is obviously unable to support the war situation. She had to collect grain from other parts of Jingzhou, or transfer it from other places.

In the past few years, Jingyang and Yangzhou have suffered from floods year after year, and the harvest has not been good. After Xiao Qingyun rebelled last year, he promised to be exempt from taxes and pay food for one year. Therefore, now the grain of the Qianjun Tun is all the old grain that was ordered by Dayongtun at the beginning, and Bai Qingfeng bought it from the Bai family's industry, and a small part of it is the initiative of the people or businessmen.

Lan Jing'an remembered that Zhang Xun had taught her to win the trust of the people, and that policies must not change three times a day. Since Brother Qingyun had promised to pay grain for one year without taxes, she could not directly levy grain under the pretext of the urgency of the war now. Otherwise, as soon as this opening is opened, the future grain collection is likely to evolve into a grain grab, what is the difference between that and Dayong?

She expressed her concerns, although she did not mention Jiang Shaoheng's more than 30,000 horses, but just thinking that reinforcements from other places in Jingzhou were coming, other generals also realized the seriousness of the problem.
