Turbulent Times Chapter 1482: Deed report meeting
The Far Eastern Army knows that in a country with a system like the Sui Dynasty, in the past, most of the local military equipment was controlled by the local nobles. It is dependent on the power of the wealthy family.
According to the plan of the Far Eastern Army, after occupying Xiaohe Town, they will take advantage of Zheng Changsheng's advantage of being a local, dispel the vigilance of the local rich, and then quietly suppress the local forces, so as to achieve the goal of replacing them naturally.
Of course, with the giants of the Far Eastern Army, a powerful family in Xiaohe Town can easily solve it by force, but the problem is that after the news spreads, the entire Henan counties, especially the wealthy family on the Wagangzhai site will inevitably be wiped out. The big family pushed to the side of Wagang Village.
So, the governance policy of Xiaohe Town is still different from the ten counties already controlled by the Far Eastern Army. Of course, it will definitely be the same after it is finally fully controlled.
Generally speaking, the rich families in Xiaohe Town do not have the ambition to fight for supremacy, but mainly care about the land rights and the gains and losses of the fields and houses. When the Far Eastern Army first arrived, it did not increase the burden on the local area, and it also completely stabilized the local public security. In the future, farming, water conservancy, teaching, etc., will definitely become more and more popular among the local people.
This time to open up the enemy's rear base area, in addition to Wei Zheng and other large numbers of experienced and capable officials drawn from Fanyang County and other places, officials who were born in the original Xiaohe Town or the Central Plains near Xiaohe Town, including Zheng Changsheng, were also deliberately transferred. It is used as a grassroots force to fundamentally control the base area behind enemy lines in Xiaohe Town.
After the situation in Xiaohe Town was gradually controlled and stabilized, Li Shanfei ordered the withdrawal of all the armored soldiers in the town and moved them to Xiaohezhai for garrison, completely handing over Xiaohe Town to Wei Zheng to take over.
Li Shanfei was busy with military affairs, so he was too lazy to deal with the local gentry. The Far East Army's principle of governing the army is also to strictly limit the army's meddling in local affairs. After the handover here, Li Xuanba began to train troops and prepare for war wholeheartedly.
With Wei Zheng and Zheng Changsheng staying in Xiaohe Town, apart from the officials and various talents, there were only fifty officials and soldiers. However, the army is stationed on the side, and fifty people are more than enough to maintain local order. The key is to establish a government system as soon as possible to keep local affairs running normally.
Fear the soldiers in the local area, wear armor and carry swords
The soldiers withdrew, and Wei Zheng, Zheng Changsheng and other officials came to take over. Love, will not mess around.
Zheng Changsheng came out to look for food four years ago, but was forced to join the army by a group of bandits passing by. Later, this band of bandits was dispersed by Zhang Xutuo in Shandong. Fortunately, Zheng Changsheng survived and begged all the way to Fanyang County, I heard that as long as you become a student of Fanyang College, you can have enough to eat, so you put on the clothes of a beggar to sign up for the exam of Fanyang College. Yearbook, because of his hard work and excellent grades in all aspects, especially during the internship period, he became an official in Fanyang County, married a wife and gave birth to a couple of children,
Zheng Changsheng told his mother and brother what had happened in the past few years in front of the townspeople, and the villagers of Xiaohe Town were surprised when they heard it.
When the army was in turmoil, too many young men were forced to become soldiers by bandits or the government, but most of them ended badly.
Most of the people nowadays are actually poor men looking for food on knife edge. Rich people are greedy for life and afraid of death. For them, the world is a land of riches and honor, and they can't enjoy themselves enough. How can they be willing to die? But for poor men, they have to work hard all day and suffer from hunger and hunger. If they cannot marry a wife, they will suffer hardships if they live. If they can see hope, they dare to risk their lives to fight for it.
The power of role models is infinite. Zheng Changsheng explained by himself, his experience made people around him brighten their eyes and dry their mouths. Wei Zheng and others pushed the door into the yard without realizing it.
Wei Zheng conducted a special training on some things in the enemy's rear base area on Snake Island. Immersed in the narration of Zheng Changsheng and others, he stood by the porch so as not to disturb them.
After a while, someone saw Wei Zheng and others walking in, and quickly disturbed him. Zheng Changsheng stood up, introduced Wei Zheng, and said, "This is Mr. Wei Zhengwei, the highest parent official in Xiaohe Town; what wronged you all? , you can ask Mr. Wei to make decisions for everyone..."
Wei Zheng didn't wait for all the people to kneel down to salute, he stepped forward first and bowed to the people surrounding the courtyard
Li, and then said: "Everyone was bewitched and coerced by the traitors before, and we were all victims if we were not willing to follow the traitors. The Far Eastern Army can clearly see this. Yesterday you were able to stand up and resist The traitors did a great job by opening the gate of the village in time and allowing the Far East Army to come in and recover Xiaohe Town."
When the gentry and common people heard this, they were completely relieved.
Wei Zheng said with a smile again: "Everyone was oppressed by the rebels in the past, and life was very hard, but if the rebels are not completely wiped out and driven away, can everyone live a good life? Can we eat enough, marry Want a daughter-in-law? It’s getting late today, so I won’t say much. The Far Eastern Army is going to recruit five hundred township soldiers to be responsible for the security of the town. Anyone who wants to join the Far Eastern Army, I welcome on behalf of the Far Eastern Army. Everyone can sign up at Zheng Changsheng, as long as they are in good health. Salary and food are treated equally, and family members enjoy military family treatment. What is military family, you can ask Zheng Changsheng later and let him explain it clearly to everyone. I won’t say much today If you have doubts in your heart, don't worry, the Far Eastern Army will never do forced conscription..."
In the eyes of the villagers, Wei Zheng is an official, always separated by birth and death, when Wei Zheng announces the recruitment of soldiers, some people below are eager to try, but they are always a little confused and don't know how to make a decision. Wei Zheng handed over this matter to Zheng Changsheng, and he accompanied Zheng Chengjie and other local gentry to the temporary yamen to discuss the next step of completely taking over the local government.
Just now, the people in the town only heard about Zheng Changsheng's experience, but some details were muddled, so they didn't understand it very well. As soon as Wei Zheng and the others left, the courtyard erupted in excitement, and Zheng Changsheng patiently explained in his local accent with a gentle expression.
Most people couldn't make up their minds for a while. After all, the Far East Army only occupied Xiaohe Town, and the Wagang Village was still outside the mountain road. I heard that the Wagang Army has more than 400,000 troops! Although the prestige of King Qin An is powerful, it is too far away.
So in the end, there were only more than 70 people who signed up on the same day to join the Far East Army's town army in the town.
In front of the people in the town, Zheng Changsheng asked people to carry Fan Yang copper coins to distribute military pay and food for the family, and announced on the spot that military members could divide the five acres of land.
The common people saw the real benefits, and more than a hundred township braves signed up to join the town army.
