Chapter 30 Major Cases

After drinking and eating, Guan Shen got up and stretched, saying, "The wine and food here are a bit expensive, but it tastes good."

After saying that, he took the three of them out of the shop. He walked on the street for a while, just looking at the shops on both sides of the road.

Liu Ye said on the side: "It's not too early, and if we don't go back, we'll be discovered. The team leader is now in charge of the army and people know that we're out, but they have a lot of guilt."

Guan Shen sneered: "It's hard to stay in the army now. I'd better find another way."

When Guan Shen came out, Liu Ye vaguely guessed in his heart that he would probably not go back to the military camp. These people were Yu Huan's subordinates. They were reorganized many times, but they were still disagreeing with Wang Xiaoli's original troops. This time, Wang Xiaoli asked the entire army to fully discuss future drills, report the results and plans at all levels, and finally caused Guan Shen and others to explode.

The characters in the army are very complicated. Not all the measures of Wang Xiaoliu are loved, but in fact there are many people who oppose them. Guan Shen and others believed that eating food in the army was the most important thing to make money. They had no interest in how to improve their combat skills and improve their own quality. They could barely participate in the past, but they didn't expect that Wang Xiaoliu became more and more excessive, and it was difficult to get through.

Wang Xiaoli's reorganization of the army originally included ideological unity. Some of the inappropriate people should be removed from it. For such people, the normal channel is to voluntarily retire from the army. The government arranged it to join the newly opened village.

Why did soldiers join the army at this time? There are various reasons. But the most mainstream idea is to eat food when joining the army, not to farm, not to work, and not to have secular chores. Since the time of Taizu, the government liked to often incorporate idle people into the army. Without these people in society, public security would improve. Furthermore, this is also the trend that continued in the late Tang and Five Dynasties.

How could such a person be willing to farm? Guan Shen is not alone, but represents a kind of ideological tendency.

After walking on the street for a long time, Guan Shen said, "We want to leave, but we lack money. If we leave the army privately, the government will definitely capture it. We have already torn our faces apart, so we can just make a fortune. Let's think about it with me, where to make money!"

In the prefecture, Wang Xiaoliu put down the official documents in his hand and rubbed his forehead with his hands. These days, many shops have been built in Ruzhou, and the money used in the army will be paid from it in the future. Wang Xiaoliu only felt a splitting headache when he was doing all kinds of miscellaneous things.

Yu Huan and Zhou Na hurried in and sang promises to Wang Xiaoli.

Wang Xiaolei said: "Looking at your expression in a hurry, what's the urgent matter?"

Yu Huan said: "I reported to the governor. Yesterday, four people from the military camp went out of the camp without returning. I heard that they had committed a crime."

Wang Xiaolei said: "What did you do?"

Yu Huan looked at Zhou Na and said, "Did you commit a crime in the city or Zhou Aishi?"

Zhou Na bowed: "It was found that four deserters entered Cai Yuanwai's house who sold silk in the east of the city last night and killed people and robbed six people, robbed thirty taels of gold, one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and two pieces of excellent silk, and escaped from the city."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaoli stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "It is not uncommon to have deserters. From our arrival in Ruzhou, there have been more than a hundred deserters from each army, and many of them are unknown. But they can kill and rob, this is the first time! Can you find out clearly? This is not a trivial matter, there must be no omissions!"

Zhou Na said: "When I returned to the magistrate, the people from Cai Yuanwai's family could see clearly last night. What they said was very similar to the people who were lost in Commander Yu's army. Not only did they look like each other, but they were all four."

Wang Xiaoli nodded. After thinking for a while, he said, "I sent a sea capture document to the surrounding prefectures and counties. I ordered all counties to investigate strictly! Where can they go in one day? Also, on the various avenues that went out of Ruzhou, Pegasus chased them!"

Zhou Na said in a low voice: "What the magistrate said is, the youngest will go and do it immediately. It's just a captain's document, and there is really nothing to do at this time."

Wang Xiaolie was stunned for a moment, remembering when it was now. Most of the surrounding states did not even have officials, so who did the captain’s documents be sent to? He waved his hand: "Since that's the case, there is no need to send them. If you want to leave Ruzhou for a day, these people can't do it. First, check the roads strictly so that these people can't walk the road. Then inspect the counties and investigate them strictly in the countryside!"

Just give orders, Wang Xiaoli asked Zhou Na to retreat, leaving Yu Huan alone.

Seeing Zhou Na go out, Yu Huan crossed his hands: "The governor is not strict, and this happened."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "Since we entered Ruzhou, the number of people who escaped from your army is the largest. Roughly speaking, there are more than 80 people."

Yu Huan hurriedly crossed his hands when he heard this, not daring to say anything more.

Wang Xiaolei said: "You don't have to be afraid. As long as you do your best, you won't blame you. Most of the soldiers in my army were natives from Ruzhou, and they raised their troops with my father. Niu Gao's troops are the same, they are all villagers in Lushan County. When they returned to their hometown, they were one, and another, and these people were good people. To be honest, the sources are mixed."

Yu Huan said: "Minister Mingjian, at that time, I was under Ding Jin's hands, and many of the soldiers came. Among these people, there were many novices. Such people were the most difficult to discipline."

Wang Xiaoli nodded.

The Song Dynasty army liked to rush to join the army, so many strange rules were formed in the army. For example, the military discipline was strict, the superiors had great power, and the punishment was harsh. The superiors were in charge of soldiers, the lights were sticks, and the heavy was killed. Such rules were not without reason.

Wang Xiaoli had completely different requirements for the army. He required soldiers to be good people, officers and soldiers to be equal, to manage the army according to military discipline, and strictly prohibited heavy punishments from being imposed in the army. It is completely different from the Song Dynasty army in the past. It is normal for many officers and soldiers who adapted to the past army to not adapt now.

Seeing Yu Huan's expression calmed down, Wang Xiaolei said: "Your army is like this, so it must not be regarded as a joke. There are more than 300 people in total, and more than 80 people have run away. Among the remaining people, will there be anyone else going to run away in the future? This is not good. In this incident, four deserters killed people and robbed people and committed a serious crime. You must help Zhou Na recover the people. Severe punishment will be given to the army a lesson."

Yu Huan crossed his hands and said yes. To be honest, Yu Huan is not confident enough in his troops now. In a few months, he ran nearly one-third of the troops. To be honest, such an army cannot be believed at all. Although he had thought of a solution, it was not very useful.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "It is common for different troops to be suitable for different officers and soldiers. We can cultivate and educate, but many people are hard to change their nature and cannot change. I don't force it. If there are people who can't stay in the army, they should propose it early and arrange them to reclaim the land. You go back and publicize it well. If anyone who can't stay in the army, leave early."

Yu Huan said, "It's okay for the soldiers, but the salaries of the left and right troops are not high. When they go home to reclaim the fields, they will live a good life. The officers are different. They originally had generous salaries in the army, and they really can't bear to leave. The one who escaped this time was the leader of a team, and the other three were his confidants."

Wang Xiaoli thought for a while and said, "There is no way, so I can only strengthen the assessment. The officers have salaries, and the money is not so easy to receive. You must be able to meet the requirements of the army. You will be stricter in the army and clear away those who fail the qualifications as soon as possible."

Yu Huan said, "This time the four people escaped, the army asked them to discuss military exercises and write various words. This team did not like to learn to read, and they became evil and left."

Wang Xiaolei said: "Since that's the case, then increase the price. In your army, you must not only hand over the final plan of discussion, but also record the process of discussion. If you can't read, don't be in the army!"

Yu Huan was shocked and hurriedly said yes.
