Chapter 325: Growth
Let's make a fuss, the bigger the trouble, the better, and when we have the substantive evidence, we will all arrest them and punish them with capital punishment.
After the shadow guard left, Li Xingchen was upset, and he didn't bother to correct it.
Before he took office, he felt that it was very simple to govern the world, and if the people's livelihood problems were done well, so that the people had food and clothing, there would be no major problems.
After taking the position, I realized that it is really difficult for the world to develop according to its own ideas and plans.
What happens today and happens again tomorrow will never be peaceful.
There is no way, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes, and people are equal to disputes! It seems that it will never be possible to calm them down.
What's more, everyone has their own thinking, especially after the popularization of education, everyone's mind is more independent and has their own ideas.
Li Xingchen regretted it a little, without the policy of ignoring the people that has been inherited from the dynasties, the people are still illiterate!
When I think about it, I feel ridiculous about this idea.
How long can the policy of fooling the people be stupid?
If the country wants to develop and reform, it depends on the people. The more independent the people are and the stronger their ability is, the better the country will be.
As an emperor, the brain to be used is not how to fool the people, but how to implant the concept of patriotism and loyalty into everyone's heart.
Let the people deeply understand a truth, loving the monarch is equivalent to patriotism.
Only by binding the monarch and the kingdom together will they know how to be loyal.
You must know that in backward ancient times, the sense of territory was very strong, and every common person was very patriotic, but not every common man loved the imperial court. In order to maintain long-term peace and stability, it is necessary to tie the country and the imperial court together and be inseparable from each other.
…
Gangnam area.
Leng Tongxiang took a thousand veterans of the Women's Army and eighty newly recruited recruits to investigate the bandits on Li Xingchen's orders.
Wang Daniu was one of the first female soldiers to be recruited in Lingzhou.
Now that the development of female soldiers is getting stronger and stronger, they have all become backbone elites, and they are basically squad leaders.
Considering the long distance and the few people who could be brought, Leng Tongxiang gathered the former veterans to do this mission.
So a thousand bandit squads are almost all captains.
Since there was no definite information about the bandits, they first went to the local yamen to inquire about the matter that they had ordered the yamen to investigate after they left last time.
The yamen said that there was no trace of bandits at all.
Helpless, Leng Tongxiang took the women's army to the village where the incident happened, and wanted to check it again.
"There's a meadow in front of us, and everyone goes there to rest and then have lunch and then continue on their way." Leng Tongxiang pointed not far away and said.
Although the veterans often train, they don't feel tired after half a day's journey.
But taking into account the physical condition of the recruits, it is time to rest.
Thousands of miles from the capital came by horse, only arrived last night, and went to Yamen early this morning to ask about the situation, the wind and fire did not stop for a moment, and the recruits were already tired.
The female soldiers were disbanded, a few veterans were in charge of guarding, and the recruits were divided into tasks to find water and collect firewood to prepare for cooking, and everything was in order.
After a short time, the female soldiers came back from the river to fetch water and set up a campfire to boil water.
Unless it's too late, they don't drink raw water, especially the water from the outside world, which must be boiled before drinking, which is a hard rule made by Li Xingchen in Lingzhou at that time.
In addition to the female combat soldiers, there were also two marching military doctors, who were also the first batch of female soldiers recruited at that time.
In the past two years, their medical skills have improved a lot, the stitches are clean and neat, the wounds are treated quickly and accurately, and they do not blink their eyes in the face of the corpse.
Every time they recall the scene when Li Xingchen locked them in a small grass hut and spent the night alone with the corpse, they felt funny.
At that time, I was too cowardly, I cried all night, vomited all night, and was scared all night.
Now that I think about it, under Li Xingchen's various trainings, my willpower has been unconsciously tempered with perseverance.
Men should be self-reliant, and daughters should be the same! So they all admired Li Xingchen from the bottom of their hearts.
The women's soldiers talked and laughed, opened the marching bags, and took out dry food and lunch boxes, all of which were for the army and could not be bought by the people.
Dry food is a special compressed food, just put it in a lunch box and soak it in boiling water for five minutes to turn it into a bowl of fragrant beef steamed buns.
Everyone was hungry and stared at the water in the pot, hoping to boil it quickly.
After the water boiled, the veterans surrounded them at once.
"Don't worry." Wang Daniu said angrily, "Have you forgotten what Your Majesty said before?" Take care of the newcomer and don't be selfish. ”
"Oh, big girl, Your Majesty also said that you must seize the opportunity when you go to the battlefield, the enemy will not salute you before the soldiers, we are teaching recruits!"
In fact, the veterans didn't take care of the female soldiers and wanted to rob them, but the distance was far away, and everyone was nervously tired.
I finally rested and teased the female soldiers.
After pouring boiling water, the beef steamed bun was ready to soak in a short time.
Just as he was about to eat, a scout veteran ran back.
"General Leng, there is a group of suspicious shadows in the forest ahead."
Leng Tongxiang's eyes lit up, threw the bowl away, and ran over.
"It can't be a bandit, right?" Wang Daniu snorted.
It's really unlucky, if you don't come early or late, you can't find anyone no matter how you check, and as soon as the steamed bun is soaked, people are coming.
Complaining is complaining, and the action is still very fast.
Everyone ran close to the river, and sure enough, they found a group of people hiding in the ravine.
The group had messy hair, tattered clothes, and weapons of all kinds, and looked like bandits.
Leng Tongxiang twisted his eyebrows.
Uncanny! In her hypothesis, if the bandits are from a radius of 100 miles, at least they have to travel on horseback, and the weapons will not be bad, right?
Or is it not the same wave as the murderous bandits?
The women's soldiers were also puzzled, and they intuitively felt that there was a huge cathole here.
"General, this group of bandits should be coming for us, can they fight or not?"
Wang Daniu roughly estimated that there were only more than 100 bandits, which is one-tenth of the current number of female soldiers.
If you don't fight, you won't be the team leader after returning to Beijing, and it will be a shame to spread it.
Not only to fight, but also to fight beautifully, and not a single one of them can be allowed to run.
Your Majesty has said that if you want to kill it, you will kill it cleanly.
The time of a stick of incense passed.
A hundred bandits came out of the woods and saw only a dozen women on the other side of the river, eating steamed buns around a small pot.
The bandits' eyes sparkled.
"Boss, these girls are pretty good-looking."
"The skin is dark, but the body should be there, and the thin should be thin, so it's better to take them back and let the brothers enjoy them."
"That's a good idea..."
Until now, the bandits thought that they had hidden well and had not been discovered by the women's army.
