Chapter Thirty-Three: Deliberately Killing a Thief
Grandpa Zhang ordered someone to serve Zhang Luo a cup of Pu'er.
He said slowly:
"Those who are rewarded are Japanese pirates and pirates who are recorded in the official register."
"At least 300 people must gather."
"If the number is too small, the government will not recognize it."
"Then Zhenhaiwei has defeated hundreds of Japanese pirates now?"
"Of course it's impossible."
"Our Zhenhai Guards only have more than 200 soldiers and only one warship."
"How can I be the opponent of hundreds of Japanese pirates?"
Zhang Luo was immediately speechless.
He asked Grandpa Zhang again:
"Then Pandao pirates like Zhu Xiaoer."
"Will the government just ignore them?"
"I hope there are many bandits like Xiaoer in the sea."
Zhang Luo listened silently again.
In the salt field, the prefect worked hard to get him to work.
Becoming a pirate frees you from restraint.
There is a reason why the Japanese pirates in the southeast have not been wiped out repeatedly.
Zhang Luo asked:
"What if Zhu Xiaoer and his gang were captured and taken to the county government office?"
"Is there a reward for this?"
Grandpa Zhang shook his head and said:
"Dingyan Island is close to the next county. It's hard to say if it's really worth it."
"Why is this so?"
Grandpa Zhang said:
"After the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty."
"The county government is responsible for counting enemy troops."
Zhang Luo's "Ancient History" skill worked.
Zhengde period.
The Eight Tigers eunuchs headed by Liu Jin have been doing evil in the southeast for some time.
The most serious one is that the local governor pretended to claim military merit.
There are eight tigers in the background.
Whether it is Japanese pirates, pirates, or good people, they are all killed by the enemy.
Therefore, after Emperor Jiajing succeeded to the throne.
Xia Yan submitted a letter delegating the power of head counting to local officials.
Most of the local officials in Fujian and Zhejiang have few soldiers.
There are fewer cases of pretending to be a military leader and killing civilians.
Talking about calculating military achievements.
This was one of the most important post-war tasks of the ancient army.
After the matter of head counting was handed over to the government.
The motivation of each guard station to bravely kill the thieves is much reduced.
Because there is a criminal record.
It is very likely that the county magistrate will insist that the Japanese pirates you killed were civilians.
By then not only will the military exploits be gone.
He still had to be put in a cell to suffer.
Grandpa Zhang said:
"Zhu Xiaoer rebelled by killing the prefect's guards."
"The charges of having liaison with Japanese pirates and standing on the island and claiming to be thieves are true."
"No one dares to overturn the verdict."
"But there are more than twenty pirates in this group. This number is a problem."
Zhang Luo asked hurriedly:
"Aren't more than twenty people considered thieves?"
Grandpa Zhang took a sip of tea and said slowly:
"The prefect's Yamen have assessment standards for each county's Yamen."
"If more than 20 Japanese pirates are found in the local area causing trouble."
"The local magistrate must be punished."
"Dingyan Island is within the boundaries shared by the two counties."
"When the time comes, they will shirk each other."
Zhang Luo was completely speechless this time.
No wonder Japan has been plagued by Japanese pirates in Southeast China for nearly a hundred years.
It is incredible that the Ming Dynasty could pacify the Japanese pirates like this.
The Japanese pirates had a large army and the government was incapable of doing so.
I don't dare to suppress them either.
The small thieves have no merit even if they are exterminated.
The guardhouse was in dilapidated condition.
No one from Zhenhaiwei has come to donate food for decades.
The guards could only rely on military households to farm to support themselves.
There are also countless guards who are doing it for money.
Participate in smuggling and selling stolen goods.
In serious cases, they even teamed up with Japanese pirates to rob villages.
Such a Ming Dynasty sea.
The fact that I can live another hundred years is a blessing from God.
"Then how should we deal with these pirates and Japanese pirates?"
Grandpa Zhang sighed deeply and said:
"Some Japanese pirates have unforgivable crimes, if the government doesn't care."
"The wealthy merchants and landlords in the city will spend money to invite the guards to come out."
"As for people like Zhu Xiao'er who are seeking survival."
"No one will care about them, just let them go."
"I'm lucky, I was recruited by the Chief Envoy."
"They will be added to the army and become members of the imperial court."
Zhang Luo is really unheard of.
It turned out to be in the Ming Dynasty.
Even those who fell out of grass turned into bandits and turned into soldiers of the imperial court.
I don’t know about the soldiers who formally joined the army.
What would you think if you knew this?
However, being a pirate and then being recruited is a very risky thing.
The governors and envoys of the Ming Dynasty were all excellent people.
If you no longer have the ability to do evil, it will be easy for you to kill yourself.
Compared with the previous Song Dynasty, it was much gentler.
The bandits who come here have a high chance of getting official positions.
Return to the wing.
Zhang Luo recalled all the things that happened today
Regarding Zhu Xiaoer, Zhang Luo now knows his details.
Instead, I wasn't that worried anymore.
They were just some furnace households who were forced to rebel by the government.
They make a living by selling salt in the ghost market.
Zhang Luo's arrival really touched their cheese.
How to deal with Zhu Xiaoer and the others.
Zhang Luo already had a preliminary plan in mind.
May is coming soon.
The fine from the county government has not yet been paid off.
The most important thing at this stage is making money.
The ghost market will open again in a few days.
Zhang Luo had to make more refined salt.
Zhang Luo was lying on the bed.
Entering the mind opens the system.

The first skill is to catch the sea, but the experience increases too slowly.
Zhang Luo no longer plans to be promoted.
Let Zhang Luo go to the beach to catch things every day.
It's too much of a waste of time.
these days.
Zhang Luo will still have morning classes in the temple in the morning.
However, the skills of divine cults improve very slowly.
There's nothing we can do about it, Mr. San is just a non-professional temple blessing.
I don’t know much knowledge either.
The third master studied at Zhang Luo almost immediately after he left school.
So he put a lot of energy into his disciple Xiaozhu.
Third Master also often sighs.
People who can read are special.
Zhang Luo learned some knowledge for a while.
Zhang Xiaozhu had to teach this lesson several times.
This also made the third master value Zhang Luo even more.
Zhang Luo and Sanye were talking a few days ago.
The third master mentioned which family has beautiful girls.
Zhang Luo smiled every time.
Third Master understood what Zhang Luo was thinking.
I also secretly feel sad that Zhenhaiwei Mountain is high and the water is poor.
Talents like Zhang Luo will have to go out sooner or later.
It can't last long, it's always good to leave a thought.
What if Zhang Luo becomes a parent official one day?
For the sake of Zhenhai Guards, I will take care of him.
Zhenhaiwei's life will gradually get better.
The "Ancient History" skill progress is okay.
It has reached level nine.
The most important thing is the scriptures in the school.
It helped Zhang Luo gain a lot of experience in ancient history.
In addition, Zhang Luo discovered that when he read Zhu Xi's annotations and biography.
The "scientific examination" skills have increased very quickly.
Before traveling through time, Zhang Luo felt that the ancient books were too boring.
But when you settle down and read.
I found the reasoning behind it to be very interesting.
Especially Zhu Xi’s comments on the book "The Doctrine of the Mean".
Let Zhang Luo, a person who has no good impression of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.
They all feel that Zhu Xi is a famous Confucian of his generation.
The interpretation of the scriptures is marvelous.
It can indeed be called a master of Confucianism.
And "The Doctrine of the Mean" is the one with more depth among the four books.
Zhang Luo thought about reading Zhu Xi's annotations first.
Let’s look at the four books again.
