Zhou Kan's idea was to start with military training, that is, in the name of military training, he would transfer the Khitan soldiers under his command separately, and the training department would issue training instructions. In the name of field exercises, he would first pull the Khitan soldiers out of the camp, and then pull them out.
The Khitan soldiers were divided into different units, and each carried out different routes of field training, which basically temporarily eliminated Rong Ge's strength.
Gao Mingbo clapped his hands and praised: "This is a plan to draw money from the bottom of the cauldron. Joining the army is a good idea! Well, let's see if it can be done like this. When issuing orders, we will also notify the end time of the training of each department. Brother An Rong is willing, but after starting the training
, it is up to us to decide when to come back, and we can ask the instructor team to take a longer detour. In addition, we all nodded in agreement to the Khitan soldiers who found various reasons not to participate in the training, to see how many of them had dissident intentions.
"
Li Chengzhong said: "You have directly characterized Brother Rong. Are you so sure that he will really rebel?"
Gao Ming solemnly said: "General, no matter whether Brother Rong rebels or not, he is a potential threat to our Yingzhou Army. Such people must be eliminated, otherwise there will be endless troubles! If he doesn't want to rebel, we will find him
Come up with evidence of rebellion! Moreover, I have no doubt that as long as I catch Yu Lai, I can get all the evidence! General, this is an opportunity to eliminate hidden dangers, and you really can’t miss it!”
Li Chengzhong was very disgusted with this kind of convicting people without providing evidence. He frowned and looked at Gao Mingbo, while the Mohe man raised his head and looked at Li Chengzhong without fear, his eyes filled with enthusiasm and excitement.
The confrontation between the two ended in Li Chengzhong's defeat. In fact, the reason was. Li Chengzhong himself was also somewhat entangled with this Khitan leader who had a grudge against him for killing his son. He rubbed his forehead in pain and sighed:
"It's better to be careful not to cause civil unrest in Liucheng..." This basically means that he agrees with Gao Mingbo's suggestion.
Since Li Chengzhong traveled through time, he has been working hard to create a law-abiding atmosphere. He hopes that the army and territory under his rule will act in accordance with the law. He has always done this, brewing and formulating "Former Battalion Soldiers" from White Wolf
Since the establishment of the "General Regulations", he has tirelessly perfected and refined various regulations and systems, emphasizing the sacred and inviolable status of the law at all times. After occupying Liucheng, he has been working with Feng Dao all day long to write various
Laws, including the "Trial Regulations on Tax Collection and Collection" and "Trial Regulations on the Value of Commercial Trade" that have been implemented. As well as the "Trial Regulations on Mountains, Lakes, Land and Acres" and "Trial Regulations on Civil Disputes" which are being studied and formulated as a large framework
"etc.
However, in all regulations, including the first and relatively complete "Regulations on the Passage of Soldiers in the Front Camp", the principle of "negotiation" is left. This principle means "all crimes are negotiable", and the basic content is actually "benevolence"
"It comes from above". In other words, if Li Chengzhong thinks that the punishment is inappropriate, he can "extra-legal mercy".
Li Chengzhong was very disgusted with such legal principles. Based on modern thinking, he believed that such a law would leave great hidden dangers. He once read his voice loudly to Feng Dao, Zhang Xingzhong and other military and political leaders:
This kind of law is a law governed by people, not a law made by illegal people. The law governed by people can be merciful outside the law. The rule of law must be obeyed by everyone, including you, including me!
However, after these words were spoken, they were met with collective and resolute resistance by the civil servants of the Changshi Mansion, headed by Feng Dao, and the generals of the Yingzhou Army, headed by Zhang Xingzhong. The fundamental reason was because of the last words in Li Chengzhong's heart.
Half a sentence - "Including you. It also includes me!"
All the legal texts were rejected by Li Chengzhong and asked to be rewritten. However, the result was that minor changes were made but major ones were retained. They were presented to Li Chengzhong again, and the most important principle of "discussion" was not touched. This happened three times.
, and finally ended with Li Chengzhong’s compromise.
This incident occurred in early June, causing an uproar at the top of Yingzhou. The reason why Li Chengzhong finally compromised was because Jiang Miao came to have a long talk late at night. Li Chengzhong's closest comrade-in-arms had a heart-to-heart talk with him.
With his heartfelt words, Li Chengzhong finally understood why his subordinate Wenwu stood so firmly on the opposite side of him on this matter.
These heartfelt words touched Li Chengzhong deeply, and they can be summed up with one meaning: Why are brothers fighting against the world with you? In the final analysis, everyone is working hard for you Li Chengzhong because they are optimistic about you and think you can bring wealth to the brothers.
No one has faults, and it is inevitable to make mistakes, but if you, Li Chengzhong, have to be punished for making mistakes, what should you do if brothers make mistakes? Of course, those who made you, Li Chengzhong, will definitely be punished, and they are also brothers.
We don't allow it. If anyone dares to have second thoughts about you, the brothers will naturally kill him without you saying anything. However, as long as other matters are not too serious, can we also leave some room for the brothers?
?
Therefore, Li Chengzhong temporarily compromised. He also put aside his thoughts of "establishing a society governed by the rule of law" and temporarily set his goal as "establishing an orderly society." Of course, the promulgation of various laws has not been put on hold, but has been retained.
The principle of "negotiation". But he still unswervingly adheres to other principles, including "conviction must be based on true evidence."
The suggestion put forward by Gao Mingbo obviously violated this principle, but Li Chengzhong was defeated again. He had to admit that it was really difficult for him to "speak the truth" when it might endanger the Yingzhou regime he had established.
"Evidence", even if there is no evidence, even if this threat is only a possibility, there is no evidence, nothing has happened yet, he has to choose to take action immediately to eliminate this hidden danger.
Li Chengzhong once again realized how long the road to a legal society is.
Just when Gao Mingbo got Li Chengzhong's tacit approval and was about to start making arrangements, the officer on duty at Zhongnanhai came in to report, and the senior officer Yu Lai asked to see him.
Yu Lai had been feeling uneasy since he came out of Cuiji Warehouse late last night. This uneasiness immediately intensified when he happened to see Zhang Xiaohua's face behind him. He immediately judged that he was being followed. Many people didn't know that.
Yu Lai is a person with an excellent memory. He can remember all the people and things he has come into contact with in half a year. After Zhang Xiaohua's face was seen by him for the third time in a row, he immediately aroused his alarm.
So he attacked the person who had appeared next to him three times in the past ten days at the corner of the alley. Then, he was extremely shocked to see the waistband with the words "Pedestrian Experience" engraved on it.
Yu Lai suddenly felt a sense of impending disaster. He did not dare to go home, let alone go to Danzhumu, Gulihun, Cui Cheng and others. He hid in the home of one of his subordinates, spending his time in panic and fear.
All night long. During this night, he thought about many miscellaneous thoughts - including waiting for the city gate to open at dawn to escape from the city. When it was bright, Yu Lai, who was suffering from mental torture, saw his subordinate's wife who was steaming cakes in the kitchen.
, and the lovely son of his subordinate who had just woken up and was sleepy-eyed. This warm scene made Yu Lai make a decision. He decided to ask to see Li Chengzhong.
Yu Lai didn't know if he could see Li Chengzhong, but considering what he was involved in, only Li Chengzhong, the master of Liucheng, could decide whether to forgive him, so he could only come. If Li Chengzhong didn't see him, he really wouldn't know
what to do.
Fortunately for Yu Lai, Li Chengzhong actually agreed to meet him. When the star officer on duty led him to the threshold of Zhongnanhai, Yu Lai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was surviving a disaster. He cried bitterly.
He threw himself at the feet of Li Chengzhong, bowed at the feet of the master of Liucheng with the most solemn etiquette of the Khitan people, kissed the other party's ankles, and then told everything he knew, just hoping that the other party could spare his life so that he could take care of him.
An old mother and a frail wife and children.
Li Chengzhong felt that this incident was too dramatic. An intelligence officer accidentally exposed his whereabouts, which actually led the other party to surrender. It was really incredible. He comforted Yu Lai kindly, and then asked Yu Lai to cooperate with Gao Mingbo to start the investigation.
arrest.
Gao Mingbo took the time to ask for a few details on the spot, and finally asked: "How did you find out that someone was following you behind you?"
When Yu Lai followed Gao Mingbo to leave Zhongnanhai, he bumped into Dan Zhumu who was waiting at the door. The two looked at each other speechlessly, with embarrassment on their faces.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhou Kan and Liu Jinhou personally commanded the military capital and launched a capture operation that shocked Liucheng.
Hundreds of guards from the central camp guarding the army marched into the recruit training camp fully armed and captured Rong Ge and the following 23 cronies who were gathering for discussion. These cronies asked for leave for various reasons and excuses and did not participate.
The new army training was basically composed of horses and officers who led the troops under Rong Ge. They were sensitive to the possible crisis, so they stayed to discuss the response with Elder Rong Ge, and were arrested on the spot. Rong Ge shouted
Although they refused to accept it, no one paid attention to it. Three of Elder Rong's confidants drew their swords to resist on the spot and were all killed.
Gu Lihun's residence and Cui Ji's warehouse were seized at the same time. Gu Lihun and his family were all thrown into prison. All their property was checked and confiscated into the government warehouse. More than a dozen servants and servants left by Cui Ji in the warehouse were also imprisoned.
He was arrested, and the newly established Cui Ji Cloth Shop was sealed up pending public auction. When Cui Chengcheng himself returned to Liucheng, he was captured at the east gate, and twelve horizontal knives were found in the cart he was riding in.
With knives, three short bows, and three pots of arrows, the guards rushed to the dock and seized the two ships under Cui's name.
Zhao Heng was taken away by the pedestrians on the charge of participating in rebellion; Zhao Yuanping and Cui He were not involved, but in order to avoid suspicion, they were suspended from their duties and were taken to the Education Department respectively, where Jiang Miao personally spoke.
That night, the Khitan soldiers who had gone out for training returned to the recruit training camp, and immediately separated from the new troops recruited from the Xiaoling River Basin, reorganized themselves, and began a three-month reserve army training.
At the same time, an urgent military report was delivered to Li Chengzhong. The military report came from the Northern Command - the great victory of Lumingwazi!
