Chapter 116: Raising bandits to respect themselves?Haha, this is called sustainable development! ! (Please subscribe!!) "Run?" Ouyang Lun smiled faintly, "Can he run?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of black figures came out of the nearby forest. There were about ten people in this group of black figures. They were all wearing tight-fitting black clothes, semicircular helmets, and painted armor. They were holding something in both hands. He has a long burning fire stick, a small "7" iron rod and a small round hammer around his waist. His movements are uniform. There is also a person who is tightly tied up in this group of people.
"Heihuya's master, the black-hearted tiger Song Shui!"
Zhao Tianming recognized Song Shui at a glance, "The enemy is coming, protect Mr. Ouyang!"
Snapped! Ouyang Lun slapped Zhao Tianming, who was guarding him, and said angrily: "You idiot, didn't you see that Song Shui was tied up? He's one of our own!"
"My own?!"
Both Zhao Tianming and Zhu Di were stunned for a moment.
Soon, the team in black came to Ouyang Lun, "Report No. [-], the Dark Wolf team has annihilated all [-] Black Tiger Cliff Bandits and captured Song Shui, the leader of the Black Tiger Cliff Bandits alive!"
number one? !
Zhu Di and Zhao Tianming both focused their attention on Ouyang Lun. There was no need to think that this "number one" must be this man.
Sure enough, Ouyang Lun nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, please leave me here. Please step back."
"Yes."
The Dark Wolf Team then left Song Shui behind, turned around and sneaked into the forest, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Tianming and Zhu Di looked shocked.
Zhao Tianming was simply shocked. After all, ten people fought against 500 people. Not only did they wipe out all their opponents, but they also captured the bandit leader alive. With such terrifying combat power, everyone would be shocked.
Zhu Di's shock was slightly different. Zhu Di actually went to the army to participate in actual combat. Among the Ming army, if you want to ask what kind of soldiers are the most elite, there is no doubt that they are the scouts of each army. Seeing the Dark Wolf Squadron At that time, Zhu Di habitually thought of army scouts.
But the Dark Wolf Team was obviously different from the Army Scout Team. The weapons and equipment were a bit strange, but Zhu Di felt that the long fire stick, the "7" shaped small iron rod, and the cylindrical small iron hammer were not ordinary weapons.
Ten people fought against five hundred and wiped them all out. What a perfect record.
If I could have such a dark wolf team, plus the red cannon, it would be difficult not to win!
At this moment, Zhu Di finally understood why Ouyang Lun, even with [-] civilians who had only trained for seven days, came to wipe out [-] bandits in Black Tiger Cliff! The enthusiastic support of the people is one of them, but more of it is because of the red cannon and this dark wolf team! The fourth brother-in-law is so awesome.
I wonder who is more powerful, the fourth brother-in-law or Wei Guogong Xu Da?
Seeing the amazed expressions of Zhao Tianming and Zhu Di, Ouyang Lun took the initiative to explain, "I trained this Dark Wolf Team a few years ago to deal with these things. Under normal circumstances, this Dark Wolf Team will not leave me." Within 1000 meters.”
Great!
Unconsciously!
"Sir Ouyang, taking Black Tiger Cliff is now a sure thing. How should we deal with the surrender of these bandits and their prisoners?" Zhao Tianming asked.
Ouyang Lun said calmly: "This matter is not difficult. First, interrogate several bandit leaders, drain them of intelligence information, and then judge them according to the crimes they committed, and then send the bandits to major construction sites. Carry out renovations and don’t waste manpower.”
"Yes, Lord Ouyang."
Um! !Hearing that he was going to be judged, Song Shui could no longer bear it and quickly woke up from his "fainting" state.
dong dong——
Song Shui kowtowed heavily to Ouyang Lun.
"Master Ouyang, please spare your life!"
"Spare your life? Tell me how I spared you?" Ouyang Lun looked at Song Shui with a joking face.
Hearing this, Song Shui fell into deep thought and his eyes kept rolling. He knew very well that the next answer would be the key to whether he could survive.
"Master Ouyang, I have been a bandit for so many years, and I have accumulated a lot of money. All the money in total is about 10 taels. If Master Ouyang can spare my life, I will definitely give this 10 taels of wealth with both hands. superior!"
When Song Shui said this, he was very entangled and distressed. Decades of hard work were gone.
I heard that Ouyang Lun is a corrupt official and he must love money. 10 taels will definitely impress him! Ouyang Lun glanced at Song Shui indifferently, "Song Shui, after all, you are also the leader of the ruthless bandits who have been entrenched in Black Tiger Cliff of Yong'an Prefecture for many years. Do you actually think that I will spare your life for a mere 10 taels?"
"Also, Black Tiger Cliff has been captured by me. Do you still think that the money still belongs to you?"
"Do you mean to let me use my own money to buy myself off and spare your life? Your calculation is too good."
puff-
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di burst out laughing, while Zhao Tianming smiled and shook his head.
Forehead. Song Shui's face was full of embarrassment. Although he was dissatisfied, Ouyang Lun was right.
"If you can't think of a reason to spare your life, then it can only be business."
"Zhao Tianming."
"Subordinates are here."
"What kind of crime would it be to be a bandit in the Ming Dynasty?" Ouyang Lun asked quietly.
"My lord, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, those who commit crimes as bandits and injure people's lives will be punished by beheading as principal offenders. There are two types of accomplices. Those who commit the crime together will be sentenced to hanging. Those who participated in the planning but did not take action will be sentenced to [-] sticks and exiled for three thousand miles." Zhao Tianming said extremely skillfully.
"Tsk, tsk, Song Shui, you are the main culprit, and there is a murder case on your body. I sentence you to beheading and execute it immediately. Even Qiu Hou will not need it!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile.
"Lord Ouyang, please spare your life!" Song Shui was now a dog with a broken spine. He lay on the ground in fear and begged for mercy. After thinking for a while, he said: "I have thought of a reason!"
"I have contact with several other groups of bandits entrenched in Yong'an Mansion. Master Ouyang, you defeated me so quickly. The other bandits must not know it yet. I am willing to provide their information so that you can completely eliminate the bandits in the territory. bandit!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianming and Zhu Di's eyes lit up.
Since ancient times, bandits have been difficult to eradicate. The reason is also very simple. Bandits are too cunning and slippery. Every time they wait for the officers and soldiers to surround them, the smarter bandits will have escaped long ago. If it weren't for the intelligence of the Chai Fu this time, In time, as well as the Heihuya mountain bandits underestimating the enemy, the civilian army's firepower was too sufficient, and it was difficult to annihilate them so easily.
If there are professionals like "Black-hearted Tiger" Song Shui to lead the way, it will be easier to deal with other bandits. There is really a good chance that the bandits in Yong'an Prefecture will be wiped out in one fell swoop! Zhu Di looked forward to it. If Ouyang Lun agreed, would he be able to fight again with [-] civilian troops and [-] red cannons? Then Ouyang Lun shook his head, "It's not enough. Of the three thousand bandits in Black Tiger Cliff, roughly 2000 were captured alive. It's easy to find someone who is familiar with other bandits among the 2000. Why do I have to use you?" "
Forehead. When Song Shui heard this, his heart felt cold.
"If you can't think of it, just go down and think about it again. As long as you can think of a suitable reason before I sentence you to death, you still have a chance!"
"Drag it!"
Following Ouyang Lun's order, the two government officials took Song Shui off while he was upside down.
"Sir, forgive me!"
"I will definitely come up with a reason for you not to kill me as soon as possible!"
Soon Song Shui was escorted down.
Zhao Tianming couldn't help but asked: "Sir, why don't you agree to Song Shui? Although a replacement can be found from other bandits, after all, Song Shui still doesn't know as much as Song Shui. If we have Song Shui's help, we can wipe out the other bandits." It will definitely be a lot easier for the bandits!”
"That's right! Brother Lun, I still want to lead everyone to destroy the bandits!" Zhu Di Lun rolled his eyes at the two of them, "If we finish wiping out the bandits, then why do we need a guard station?"
"Do we really need to finish off the bandits?"
Upon hearing these two questions, Zhao Tianming and Zhu Di were both stunned.
"Brother Lung, I don't quite understand?"
"Please let me know, sir!"
Zhao Tianming and Zhu Di both looked at Ouyang Lun with doubtful eyes.
"Do you still remember why we set up a temporary mission hall?" Ouyang Lun asked softly.
"Of course, bandits are rampant in Yong'an Prefecture and even in the entire Beizhili territory, which has caused great trouble to the people and the government. However, the "three departments" of Beizhili Chief Secretary, Inspector General, and Commanding Envoys Department have no spare capacity to solve the problem. We have no choice but to solve it. We could only find a way on our own, so we set up a temporary mission hall to call on the people to deal with these thieves and bandits together!"
Zhao Tianming said loudly.
Ouyang Lun nodded, "You didn't tell the whole story, there's another reason."
"There is another reason." Zhao Tianming thought for a moment, reacted, and said hurriedly: "The other reason is that our Yong'an Mansion has developed relatively well in the past two years. The people have money, food and clothing, and their energy is better than It was much more prosperous in the past, and the elderly and young people often fought privately and fought in groups, which caused the security level of our Yong'an Mansion to decline, so I want to use the tasks in the temporary task hall to consume the energy of the elderly and young people!"
"That's right!" Ouyang Lun nodded, "Actually, the bandits are not in my eyes at all. Letting the people actively participate is my purpose."
"Once all the bandits are wiped out, should the temporary mission hall be cancelled?"
"And does this make the soldiers at the guard very sad? After all, normally they are the main force in exterminating the bandits. However, they were usurped by the people's army and your horse. What will they think?"
"Whether a piece of land can develop well, the number of bandits does not actually play a decisive role, but internal unity is fundamental!"
After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Zhao Tianming and Zhu Di couldn't help but speak.
"Party for personal gain!!"
"Respect yourself as a bandit!!"
Ouyang Lun's face was full of black lines, "If you two can't talk, you don't have to talk!"
"Form a clique for personal gain and support bandits for self-respect. Do you two think I am a tyrant of a separatist regime?!"
"You should say that I am taking the overall situation into consideration and pursuing sustainable development! It's terrible to be uneducated!"
"One of you is stupid because you read too much, and the other is not flexible enough because you read too little."
Although Ouyang Lun said it in a face-to-face manner, Zhao Tianming and Zhu Di didn't care at all, but nodded repeatedly.
"Your Excellency, you are right, we are taking the overall situation into consideration, and we are definitely not forming a clique for personal gain!" Zhao Tianming said extremely seriously.
"And we are here for sustainable development, and we are definitely not trying to support bandits!" Zhu Di said with admiration.
"Sir, what should we do next?" Zhao Tianming asked first.
Ouyang Lun said calmly: "Don't worry about this. I have already planned to find a way to get information from the captured bandits, and then contribute the information to the guard station. After that, I will wipe out the bandits and thieves every time to defend the defense." The officers and soldiers of the institute will be the main ones, supplemented by the civilians recruited through the temporary mission hall, and the bandits entrenched in Yong'an Prefecture will be gradually eliminated. The rhythm must be sure, and you must rest when it is time to rest. Everyone comes out to eat, in order to order There is no need to risk your life for scraps of money!"
"My lord (Brother Lun) is wise!" Zhao Tianming and Zhu Di said in unison.
"Brother Lun, how should I arrange the two artillery teams?" Zhu Di asked with expectation.
"I know you like to mess around, and even more like to fire cannons, but we still have to keep a low profile on this matter. A small team of ten red cannons is too eye-catching. It will be more practical to form a team of every five red cannons and spread them out when the time comes. You He is responsible for dispatching and commanding.”
"After all, if this matter spreads, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble."
Ouyang Lun said with a smile.
"it is good!"
The capital, the imperial palace.
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Since the 'Yong'an Corruption Case', several words have been floating in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
Ocean fleet.
railway.
The rule of Hongwu.
Five-year plans and so on.
There is no doubt that these words were learned from Ouyang Lun, and they all affected Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
Sometimes he wished he could go to Yong'an Mansion again.
But there are still many things to do as an emperor, such as dealing with memorials submitted by various ministries and officials every day.
These memorials contain simple work content, but also include flattering officials, and some officials describe the disasters encountered in a certain place since the beginning of the new year and request the court to allocate funds for disaster relief.
"Drought and flood again!"
“I really don’t know when it will end!”
Among the memorials reviewed today, several local officials have already mentioned in the memorials that droughts and floods occurred in many places, not only causing casualties and missing persons, but also causing a large amount of property damage, with houses and fields being submerged. Zhu Yuanzhang issued instructions for every memorial requesting support from the imperial court, ordering the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate money and grain for disaster relief.
It's just that we can't let these disasters lead us all the time, we have to find some way.
Zhu Yuanzhang began to think. He put a piece of white paper in front of him and held an imperial pen in his hand. He decided to record down a good idea whenever he thought of it.
But after thinking for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang still had a blank piece of paper in front of him, which meant that he had not thought of a good solution until now.
At this time, Wang Zhong walked in from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guards and his colleague Jiang Wei are here."
"Let him come in!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said with some annoyance.
"Yes."
After a while, Jiang Wei came in and said, "My lord, Jiang Wei, greets your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live your Majesty!"
"No gifts!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Hurry up and tell me what you Jin Yiwei have gained during this time!"
"Did that boy Ouyang Lun do something wrong again?"
Jiang Wei's mouth twitched and he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, according to what I know, Prince Consort Ouyang has recruited five thousand young men to suppress the bandits."
