Chapter 81 Hidden private soldiers
The elites of Hundred Battles deal with a group of sand garden thieves in the district, that is completely a dimensionality reduction attack.
It was no surprise that the nineteen people from Qin Yong had only lost their oily skin, and the twenty-two people including Liu Jiu, who were riding horses, had no hair damage.
But those thieves who dared to attack Qin Lang ended up miserable.
They often walked by the river, and finally got their shoes wet. They hunted geese all day long, but were blinded by the geese.
"Sanlang, all the intruders have been taken down, and none have escaped!"
Liu Jiu reined in the horse and threw a prisoner directly from the horse.
In the camp at this time, the bonfire was rekindled, and a bunch of prisoners were **** in the camp.
Those who were lucky were only slightly injured, at least they were still alive, and those who were unlucky, there were many people who were missing arms and legs. Well, there is no one to eat at this moment, only the severed heads are left in a pile on the ground, waiting for Wei Zheng, who is covering his mouth and nose, to confirm the registration.
A strong smell of blood filled the banks of the Wei River.
"Sanlang, how to deal with these people?"
Qin Lang looked at these frightened guys, all of them called themselves heroes and heroes, but they were not very good in reality, not to mention their crooked looks, and their attires were also very bad. .
This is completely different from the green forest heroes he imagined. Not to mention that they are all the same as the Water Margin Hundred and Eight Generals, but at least they must be big and round. What is this sharp-mouthed monkey cheek and a malnourished look?
"Divide these living victims into two or three, interrogate them separately, and then give a confession, whoever dares to lie will be cut off directly." Qin Lang was a little bit discouraged, thinking that he would meet some powerful people.
"The main point is to ask where their lair is and how many thieves are still there." Qin Lang did not forget to confess that since he has made a move, he can't spend all his energy in vain.
Wei Zheng had a roll of paper in one hand and a writing brush in one hand. After turning around, he had already registered a lot of numbers.
"A total of 137 thieves, 75 people were killed on the spot, another 19 were seriously injured, and more than 30 were slightly injured. No one escaped. More than 50 horses and mules were confiscated. There are more than thirty donkeys, various weapons, some armor, and some money..." Wei Zheng shook his head after speaking, these people are also poor thieves.
"There are more than fifty horses?"
"It's not surprising. The Shayuan was originally a horse ranch for the imperial court. The thieves must have stolen horses from there."
"Old Wei, according to our court system, what crime should these people be convicted of?"
"It must be the crime of robbery and homicide. If someone is killed, he should be beheaded. Even if no one is killed, he should be hanged. Those leaders will be executed even more, and their wives and children will also be imprisoned."
Throughout the dynasties, murder and arson, and robbers and robbery, were severely punished and would never be lenient.
"Do you want to notify the local yamen?"
"Send someone to inform them. As for these thieves, send someone to inform Zhao An to take them over. Since they fall into our hands, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat. We can't give them to others."
Faced with the interrogation, none of those Shayuan thieves had any backbone, and they all poured beans out of bamboo tubes without reservation. Not only did he tell his name and ancestral home, but he also told the truth about where the thief's lair was, how many people there were, how much gold, silver, money and food he had.
Some of them even explained the eighteen generations of their ancestors without even asking.
After cross-checking the confessions, he found that only a few guys were lying, and they were more or less honest, so Qin Lang directly chopped off those guys in public.
After breakfast at dawn, Qin Lang took people across the Weishui River and entered the lair of the bandits in Sha Yuan to suppress the bandits. They said they were bandits, but in fact yesterday the bandits almost came out in full force, leaving behind only old and weak women, and some The meat ticket they kidnapped was just a hostage.
This time Liu Jiu took the lead and rushed in with more than twenty riders. After a few swords and arrows, he flattened the bandit village in the sandy moraine.
Copied out some gold, silver, money and food, rescued a group of people, counted it, and found that this village with more than 200 thieves was not as rich as the Green Snake Hall that Qin Lang had destroyed in Pingkangfang, Chang'an.
"Are all these houses burned?"
Qin Lang thought for a while, "This place is suitable for hiding thieves and gathering thieves. Even if we burn this place now, I am afraid that other thieves will gather soon. You have also heard what the thieves said just now, and the thieves gathered in this sand garden are large. There are dozens of groups, big and small, I think it’s better to keep them.”
"Keep it?"
Wei Zheng was surprised.
"From among those thieves, pick some well-off, not so cruel and inhuman guys, and temporarily incorporate them into our Zhen Fu Division, and put them under the supervision of Wei Chang's school office."
"Recall that Wei Chang will arrange for a few more people to come over to take the lead."
Wei Zhengdao, "Should they continue to be thieves here?"
"Why not, if we keep this group of people, we can plant a hidden stake in this sand garden, and we can slowly find out the thieves in the sand garden. Of course, if we keep them, we can't let them go again Do those robbery and kidnapping things."
"Then what are they doing?"
"You can eat black people, impress other thieves, and be responsible for collecting intelligence for the department."
Wei Zheng was surprised by Qin Lang's plan, that he still had such an operation.
Place a team of people lurking here, which can play a key role if necessary.
"I've even thought about their banner in the future, and it's called "walking on behalf of the sky." Spread this banner, rob the thieves and eat the black, and then help the poor and the orphans."
After seeing the gap between the Shayuan thief and Qin Yong, Qin Lang has no interest in continuing to attack the other Shayuan thieves, and he still has to hurry.
"Walking the way for the sky, the water moors Liangshan."
A group of selected thieves were dumbfounded when they saw the flag Qin Lang took out.
The Duke of Yi not only refused to kill them, but actually let them go back to their old jobs.
"Duke Yi, I really don't dare to wait, never again."
"Accept, from today onwards, you are no longer the little thieves in the sand garden in the past. You are the heroes of the water and Liangshan. You have ideals and goals. You want to do justice for the sky and help the weak. You , let’s talk about you, short black, what’s your name?”
"Little Song Fugui!"
"No, your name is no longer Song Fugui. From today on, you will be called Song Jiang, nicknamed Jiyu, and from now on you will be the number one chair in the Juyi Hall."
The short black guy was confused, but seeing the anxious eyes of his wife and children opposite him, he didn't dare to refuse to object.
Finally, he had no choice but to step forward to take over the banner of "Walking for Heaven" in fear, and then changed his name to Timely Rain Song Jiang from then on.
"Dare to ask Lord Yi, why is it called Shuibo Liangshan?"
The dozens of selected thieves all looked puzzled, yes, this is a sand garden, full of sand dunes and sand moraines, why is it called Shuibo Liangshan? There is no water park here, let alone Liangshan.
"Who said there is no water park here? Isn't there a water park next to your village? Isn't there a sand dune behind the village? From today on, that water park is called Dashuibo, and that sand dune is called Liangshan. For the name of your village in the future, set up the banner of walking on behalf of the sky, and follow the instructions of the Zhen Fusi to do things."
Qin Lang didn't say that it was his bad taste to ask Shuibo Liangshan to give the flag of Xingdao Dao for the sky.
"Work hard, your wives and children will be settled by the governor of the old town, but if anyone does not change his bad habits, dares to do evil behind the governor's back and refuses to listen to his orders, he will think about the consequences. Later, the governor will send someone to join him , everyone cooperate well.”
The gang of thieves hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed their thanks.
Being captured by the government is basically a dead end. Even if you can barely survive, you will at least have to go to the frontier fortress to serve as a soldier. Now the result is pretty good, although they don't understand why the Duke of Yi made such an arrangement.
In addition to picking eighteen Shayuan thieves to let them set up the banner of walking on behalf of the sky and building the Water Park Liangshan, Qin Lang also picked fifty young and strong men from among the thieves.
"What are these people chosen for?" Qin Yong asked, he was very disdainful of these vulnerable mobs.
"Brother Yong, I plan to recruit these people. Fifty people just formed a team. I even thought about the name of the team. It's called the Black Cloud Long Sword Team. I hope Brother Yong can help me train this team well, no To be able to train to be as brave and tough as you are, at least he should be able to walk under your hands for a few rounds."
Qin Yong frowned.
"Sanlang wants to employ people, why not recruit some good families directly, what use are these thieves with bad records?"
"I think these people are quite courageous and not afraid of death. They are actually pretty good." Qin Lang smiled. In fact, Qin Lang liked these people because he thought that their original identities as thieves and bandits could be easily manipulated, so recruiting a good family had to be done formally. program, but it is much more convenient to use these thieves who are not on the household registration.
He mainly wants to build these people into his own personal army. After seeing how powerful Qin Yong and the others are, Qin Lang now also wants to build a powerful guard.
After listening to Qin Lang's explanation, Qin Yong nodded.
"Okay, I'll give the herd a good job."
"Leave it to you, Brother Yong, and I will rest assured. Fuck it casually, dare to be disobedient, and **** it to death!"
The main weapon of the Heiyun Longsword Team is the ringless horizontal knife.
In fact, as Zhenfu Sicheng, Qin Lang certainly has his own soldiers, but those belong to the people in the yamen, they are public servants. Qin Lang wanted a team that completely obeyed his orders, a private soldier, a bodyguard in the nature of a personal bodyguard.
This is like in the late Tang and Five Dynasties period, although those festival commanders all had fierce Yabing soldiers, but because the Yabing soldiers were too fierce, they rebelled and abolished the Jieshuai at every turn, so later the festival commanders of the feudal towns would set up outside the Yabing soldiers. The pro-army even has multiple pro-armies with different numbers to check and balance the tooth soldiers.
Qin Lang didn't think about rebellion or anything, but saw that Qin Yong and Qin Qiong's family soldiers were very powerful, so he also wanted to make one himself.
"Old Wei."
Qin Lang went to find Wei Zheng, "You cross out the names of these sixty-eight people from your book, they are all the secret piles of the Zhen Fu Division."
Wei Zheng glanced at Qin Lang, "It's normal for the eighteen people to stay here and make hidden stakes to cross out their names, but you don't need to cross out the names of the fifty people you got to be guards, right? Just register as guards in the Zhenfu Department Is it different?"
"Old Wei, I think it's best for them not to leave their names on the file."
Wei Zheng glanced at Qin Lang, "It's up to you, but I advise you to be more cautious. This kind of thing can be big or small. If someone with a heart keeps an eye on you and tells you that you keep dead soldiers and private soldiers, it will be very difficult. troublesome."
"I am raising dead soldiers and private soldiers. This is training and cultivating hidden piles for the department. I am doing business for the department."
"Just be careful yourself."
