Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 99: Ensure

It came suddenly, the subordinates were dissatisfied, and the people suffered some losses…

Zhou Shixiang was not a fool, Song Yi said it euphemistically, but he couldn’t hear what the other party said.

Which **** can’t control his subordinates, and dares to blatantly rob the town!

Zhou Shixiang was very angry. Before Luo Ding set off, when he convened a meeting of the general banner and the small banner army, he emphasized the military discipline of the south, and strictly prohibited the various ministries from robbing the people without permission. He also asked others to sue, which made Zhou Shixiang very angry.

If you dare to violate the order and loot today, tomorrow you will dare to violate the order and run away, and the embankment of a thousand miles will collapse in the ant’s nest. died. Besides, if you have the guts to robbery in private, you have the guts to hide and not pay. If everyone is like this, the public treasury system will exist in name only. This is something that Zhou Shixiang absolutely cannot tolerate. The public treasury system is currently the only means for Taiping Camp to unite people’s hearts. If the public treasury does not exist, how can those promises be fulfilled? If the people can’t get benefits, who is willing to sacrifice their lives for you!

“This matter will definitely be sent to investigate thoroughly, you don’t have to worry, if this general’s subordinates really harm the villagers, this general will never forgive, and will definitely give justice to the people.”

Whether it is public or private, Zhou Shixiang will not spare those robbery soldiers lightly, but he will not order people to investigate the matter in front of Song Yi and others, nor will he deal with this matter in front of these people, after all Such matters related to military discipline should be handled well internally, and some compensation to the victimized people can be given afterwards. He will not make it a big deal, and use a few heads of his own soldiers to show the new people the good military discipline of the Taiping Battalion. Although this approach has the beauty of winning people’s hearts, it is still weak for Taiping, whose strength is still weak and the composition of the soldiers is complex. Camp is not a good thing.

When the hearts are scattered, the team will be difficult to lead. It is thousands of miles away from Xiangshan Mountain in the south, and this is the first step to take a knife on one’s own family. Strict military discipline is not such a serious method. Heart-to-heart, the soldiers of Taiping Battalion are not soldiers in the strict sense, and even more than half of the officers are from bandits and Green Battalion. Robbery is a common occurrence for them. How can it be stopped by a few military discussions and a few orders? Therefore, the rectification of military discipline must be done, but it cannot kill people and stand up, and must use some other means, otherwise, it will inevitably make the soldiers feel cold.

……

The robbery made Zhou Shixiang feel bad, and how to deal with it gave him a headache. He didn’t want to learn about the local situation from Song Yi and others, so he let them go down first, and he would give them an explanation when things were clear. I don’t want to, but these people did not leave according to their words, but still stood there motionless.

Seeing how many people were unwilling to leave, Zhou Shixiang couldn’t help but ask them, “Why, are you still waiting?”

After a few seconds of silence, Song Yi still came forward and said to Zhou Shixiang, “Don’t hide the general, I still have something to ask the general.”

Zhou Shixiang asked, “What’s the matter?”

Song Yi squeaked, intending to let Zhou Tai and the others say it, but Zhou Tai and the others didn’t dare to say it at all. This town?”

“Um?”

want me to go? Zhou Shixiang frowned, his face sank again, and he said very unhappily: “You are waiting for Ben to leave this place as soon as possible?”

Although Zhou Shixiang was young, he had killed people before. He was proud of himself when he was not angry, but he was angry. Song Yi’s heart tightened when he saw it. Although he was a prefect, it was all twenty years ago. Now that the Ming and Qing Dynasties are changing, wars are frequent. For the person who was killed, what can he do as a remnant of the former dynasty who returned to his hometown, and why is he not afraid?

In a panic, he quickly explained: “General Zhou, don’t misunderstand, I am not waiting for the general to leave soon, but just want to know the itinerary of your army, or organize the villagers in this town to provide some food and grass for your army to express their feelings. .”

“Yes, yes, that’s what I mean, but I’m not expecting General Zhou to leave.”

Zhou Tai and the others also followed suit, but their faces were a little strange, and Li Laoquan was even more worried, which made Zhou Shixiang feel doubtful, pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted: “You are so brave, you are so bold, How dare you use the name of donating food to investigate our military situation, you really deserve to be killed! Come on, drag me out and chop it up!”

After drinking, Li Laoquan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: “General, forgive me!…” The tens-year-old old man kowtowed there, but Zhou Shixiang felt sorry for him, thinking that he was making a big deal. Intimidating too much.

That Zhang An was so frightened that he knelt down and shouted for mercy. Lin Zhengguo was so frightened that his legs trembled. Zhou Tai and Song Yi were not so terrified. Calm down your anger, General, calm down your anger, I never dare to think like this, I never dare!”

“If that’s not the case, why are you exploring my itinerary!” Zhou Shixiang was still furious while flicking his sleeves.

“It’s because…” Song Yi wanted to tell the truth, but he couldn’t.

“What’s the reason!” Zhou Shixiang shouted impatiently again.

Song Yi didn’t know how to speak, but Zhou Tai rushed out and shouted: “If your army leaves this town as soon as possible, I can also clean up the situation, lest…” He said this, but he didn’t say a word, some He looked at Zhou Shixiang in fear.

Seeing that this person didn’t say everything, Zhou Shi became impatient and couldn’t help shouting angrily: “Let’s not say anything? Say it!”

This time, his eyes widened, and Zhou Tai was so frightened that he kept wiping his forehead with his sleeve. He couldn’t say enough, and stammered: “I want to say… I want to say…”

Zhou Shixiang shouted again: “Come on!”

“Old…Old…”

Zhou Tai has two old men in a row, but he can’t say it. When he is in a hurry, Li Laoquan suddenly gritted his teeth and looked up at Zhou Shixiang, and said in a trembling voice: “Younger dare to ask if General Zhou is stationed in this town?”

Zhou Shixiang was stunned by this question and asked, “What does this have to do with what you said?”

Li Laoquan took his heart and said bluntly: “If General Zhou cannot stay in this town for a long time, Xiao Laoer also asks the general to lead his troops to leave as soon as possible, so as not to harm my new people!”

After Li Laoquan said it, Song Yi, Zhou Tai and the others didn’t know how Zhou Shixiang would react, and they all looked at him in a daze.

What Li Laoquan said made Zhou Shixiang silent, and he said half-soundingly, “This general will not stay here forever, but don’t worry, even if this general leaves here, you will not be affected by it. Killed by the Qing army.”

“Why does the general guarantee that the Qing army will not bring disaster to the town?”

Li Laoquan didn’t believe what Zhou Shixiang said at all, because he had heard the same words once a few months ago, but the fourth day after the Ming army general finished speaking, the men in the town of more than 2,000 asked the green camp to kill them all. .

Li Laoquan didn’t believe it, Song Yi and the others didn’t believe it. They didn’t ask Zhou Shixiang to really stay in the town, because in their opinion, Nanming was already declining and Xishan couldn’t last forever. The young generals are the Qing army who are really stationed in Xinxing and cannot defeat Zhaoqing. In the end, the town will still be harmed by the Qing army. Only when the Ming army left quickly could they try to solve this problem. It doesn’t matter if the wealth is gone, but if the people are gone, there is nothing.

Not wanting Zhou Shixiang, but confidently reassured them, he said: “You can rest assured, I will say that the Qing army can’t harm you if you can’t harm you.”

“What’s the general guarantee?”

When Li Laoquan said this, his face was full of despair. He believed that the young General Zhou was talking big words to deceive them.

I don’t want Zhou Shixiang to say happily: “This will have its own way of guaranteeing.”

“What’s the way?” Almost at the same time, Song Yi, Zhou Tai and the others asked in unison.

Zhou Shixiang glanced at them, and said in a harmonious voice, “This method is to take you all away. In this way, you will naturally not be harmed by the Qing army.”

“what?!”

Everyone was shocked, “Take us all away?”
