"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 258
Chen Ziang and his Qinghe army entered Wenshui County. They supported the people, upheld justice, severely punished corrupt officials and domineering bullies, and acted decisively and quickly.
Unarmed people used to dare not speak out, but now with the support of the army, they are courageous enough.
? They poured out the grievances they have suffered over the years like pouring beans. Corrupt officials and bullies can be said to have committed a lot of crimes.
Although Chen Ziang felt that killing too much would hurt the peace, he would not have any compassion for these people whose crimes were too numerous to record.
Under the supervision of countless people, those who used to be arrogant and oppressive lost their heads one by one.
What Chen Ziang and the others have done has also won the strong support of the local people, and their favorability towards Chen Ziang and the others has also risen steadily.
These people are hospitable, simple and kind people. Chen Ziang helped them and allowed them to survive. They are also very grateful.
In order to thank Chen Ziang and the others for upholding justice and punishing evil, they sent the melons, fruits and vegetables grown at home to the temporary camp of the Qinghe Army to express their gratitude.
Those patrolling cavalry were often stopped by the people, who gave them hard-boiled eggs and delicious cooking cakes to eat.
There is discipline in Chen Ziang's army, and soldiers are not allowed to take things from the common people without authorization. Facing these warm-hearted people, many soldiers can only politely refuse.
"General, they are determined to give us fruits and vegetables, no matter how we persuade them, we can't persuade them."
These people are simple and kind. Seeing that the Qinghe Army did not accept their things, they simply refused to leave, and they must thank them.
"Since it is someone's kindness, let's accept it. Anyway, our army also needs these fruits and vegetables, but we have to pay them according to the market price. After all, they have worked so hard to grow them and they have to live."
Facing the civilians who insisted on sending things to comfort the army, Chen Ziang couldn't help but smile wryly after receiving the report.
"General, what if they don't charge money?"
"If they don't charge money, then we won't charge anything. This is a matter of principle, and we can't go back."
"We must develop a good habit. If we take their fruits and vegetables for nothing, then the soldiers will take their gold, silver and treasure in the future, and even kill people and set fire to them, so this opening cannot be opened."
Chen Ziang is very clear that the formation of habits is terrible. It may not have any effect in a short period of time, but bad habits bit by bit will eventually lead to disastrous consequences.
The so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Chen Ziang now requires the troops to maintain a good habit. As long as the military discipline is strict and they live in harmony with the people, even if they lose the battle, they can still rise again.
If their military discipline is loose and they become disgusting rats crossing the street, once they lose the battle, it will be difficult for them to turn over, because no one supports them.
At Chen Zi'ang's request, the chiefs of the troops at all levels also received orders that they were allowed to accept the comfort items sent by the people, but they had to pay.
All the troops also obeyed Chen Ziang's order, and they would not accept anything unless they received money.
"What a nice guy."
"It's simply unreasonable for such an army not to win the battle."
"General Chen is simply better than Lord Qingtian."
This approach by Chen Ziang and the others won unanimous praise from the common people, and their favorability towards Chen Ziang and the Qinghe Army rose again.
Many girls waiting to marry in Wenshui County also looked at the soldiers of the Qinghe Army differently, and even many matchmakers came to the camp to propose marriage.
Not only did they talk about their marriage to ordinary soldiers and officers, but they also talked about their marriage to Chen Ziang, a hussar general, which made Chen Ziang dumbfounded.
Their Qinghe army did not plan to stay in Wenshui County for too long, so Chen Ziang also asked to refuse all these marriages.
After all, they are still on the way to fight. If the officers and soldiers are busy marrying wives, then why fight?
The local people had a good impression of them and admired them very much. They said that the marriage was a good intention, but Chen Ziang didn't want to appreciate it this time because the time was not yet ripe.
The Qinghe army stationed in Wenshui County has greatly improved the local security situation, and at the same time, the military-civilian relationship has also become rare and harmonious.
And many old Wenshui CountyThe case was also uncovered by Chen Ziang's staff team, allowing them to show their talents.
In just a few days, they completed at least 80% of the accumulated old cases. The others were due to incomplete files and the absence of the parties, so they became dead cases.
Chen Ziang asked his staff to try the case and at the same time be responsible for appeasing the people, and they all did it very well.
Most of the staff of Chen Zi'ang's second army were scholars who were frustrated with the court, and they were poor and destitute, so they took refuge in Chen Zi'ang.
Although they joined Chen Ziang's subordinates for various reasons, Chen Ziang attached great importance to scholars and allowed them to display their talents here.
Following Chen Ziang's side, these scholars not only started to learn military books and war strategies, but also completed some military literature, such as the drafting of orders, etc.
Chen Ziang often gave them advice. Under Chen Ziang's influence, they were diligent and diligent, but they also grew up very quickly.
Pang Lun is a member of Chen Ziang's staff team, and he is also a poor scholar. He originally thought that he would enter the imperial court by taking the exam.
However, the court has long been controlled by the military family and the honorable group. Although he has gone through hardships, he has failed several times and can only return home lonely in the end.
Who knew that on the way back to his hometown, he encountered a bandit and almost died, but the passing Qinghe army scouts rescued him.
It was a helpless move for Pang Lun to fail the ranking and return to his hometown, because he had no face to meet his parents and fellow villagers.
In order to thank Chen Ziang and his Qinghe army for their life-saving grace, and at the same time, he was also dissatisfied with the imperial court, so he finally decided to go all out and join Chen Ziang and his team.
Because he is a scholar, Chen Ziang left him in the army as an ordinary staff member. He is diligent and conscientious in his work, which is quite praised by Chen Ziang.
In the past few days, he has been in charge of hearing old cases in Wenshui County, and he is also full of pride when he sees that the unjust, false and wrong cases have been tried again.
"Pang Dao, the general asked you to meet him."
When Pang Lun was complacent, a burly guard soldier found Pang Lun and conveyed Chen Ziang's order.
"Brother, do you know what's going on?" Pang Lun stood up and asked the guard with a smile.
Seeing that Pang Lun was so polite to him, the guard soldier felt very comfortable.
"The general is in a good mood, so it shouldn't be a bad thing." The guard replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Pang Lun also let out a long sigh of relief. He recalled the case he had tried, and there should be nothing wrong, so his face softened a bit.
"This brother wait a moment, I will leave after I explain it." Pang Lun said.
"Please do as you please, but don't delay too long, I will wait outside the door."
After the guard soldier finished speaking, he turned around and strode out the door. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
